8-26-26 - Figuring out the Broncos defense/The SEC takes a stand/Not down with Dunkman? · The Appetizer Hour with Brett Kane

  Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I think that first drive was kind of twofold. You know,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: for me, I didn't think we, our approach, in my opinion,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: was unengaged and a little bit lazy, right? It wasn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the right approach, even in pregame. So I felt that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So that was the first lesson. The second lesson is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I think two games, what we've played here, we've seen
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: how offenses see us. So lots of boots, lots of misdirection,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: outside runs more often than not, match protection passes, quick game.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Teams don't want to lose first down because if they
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: do lose first down, our rush kind of comes alive.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So I think that game was an example of what
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: is coming in the future, how teams see us. Run game-wise,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: pass game-wise, winning first down with quick game, boots, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: outside runs more often than inside runs. So, to me,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: it was a great lesson on both ends of when
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: we play, it's a standard, and I want to see
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it all the time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Broncos are lucky to have that guy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: You know, it's such a weird situation when you talk
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: about a dude who used to be the head coach.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Who had a unsuccessful run at being the head coach,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: only to come back as an assistant later and be
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: one of the premier assistants inside that league. Everything he
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: just said is as sharp as intuitive as a defensive.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Coordinator is going to get about their own defense.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: It knows your weaknesses, it knows your strengths, and it
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: knows what the other team is trying to do to
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: combat it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: The only way you can solve a problem.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: is to identify it first and then create a game
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: plan around it. And to be able to do this
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: in preseason, and I don't think it's just preseason. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: bet it was towards the end of last year. You know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the Broncos were a top three defense in the league
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: up until the last, I would say, handful of games,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: six games-ish. I hesitated to say the number after that
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: because I did not want to see Nelly move his hands.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: So I just said six. Six to eight games, how about?
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: We'll skip the number in between. But I think a
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: lot of that stemmed from a couple of different things.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I think one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Was you got worn out. When you have to play
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: at an elite level for 60 straight minutes for over
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: 10 plus weeks, it puts a lot of stress on
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: your team.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: That's one.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Two, at some point, teams are going to figure you out.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: It does not matter how good of a player or
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: team you are. Someone will create a game plan that
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: is going to make it difficult on you. That's just sports.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You know, there have been elite pitchers in the MLB
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: that for maybe a short amount of time have been tagged.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Because they picked something up. They had a tell on
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: you or something. Same thing with great hitters. Barry Bonds,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: believe it or not, would go through a slump.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It happens.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: But bottom line is, if you're able to identify what's
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: wrong like Vance Joseph did, then that's step one. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: he is so correct about this. The strength of your team,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: and there's many of them, but the ultimate strength of
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: your team is your pass rush. It has been for
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a number of years now. When you look at the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: way that it's how they were built, it's Zach Allen
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: and Nick Benito and Jonathan Cooper. and previously JFM, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: now you can mix in DJ Jones and Malcolm Roach
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: and all these different guys in the defensive line, hopefully
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: what will be Jonah Ellis and Q Robinson, they are
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: experts at making the opposing quarterback scared. And when you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: don't do well on first down against the Broncos defense,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: you give them essentially a green light to say it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: time to eat. And so Vance Joseph in saying that
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: knows if they're going to play a quick game on you,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: if they're going to hit you for a quick screen
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that's going to get them five, six yards on first down,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that's all they want because they want to keep all
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: of those pass rushers and everybody on that defensive line
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: at least aware and thinking about Well, I can't just
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: pin my ears back and go after the quarterback. What
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: if they run some sort of delay? What if they
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: hit us on a counter?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: What if they do this? What if they do that?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: But all of that is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: You have to keep the defense thinking. It's part of
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: the thing that I think the Broncos offense has to do.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: The Broncos offense at times became entirely too predictable. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: then when they walk up to the line of scrimmage,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: you could say by down in distance, all right, they're
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: probably going to do this here.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: It's keeping your opponent on their toes and having them
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: thinking that everything's a possibility. It's kind of the exact
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: same thing I'm saying for the Broncos offense.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And how I want them to play this year.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: To put themselves in more manageable positions on third down
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and if you do that, it'll cut the frequency of
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: three and outs.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: By a lot.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: No, it's just one of those things where you're looking
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: for things to improve from last year. And it's hard
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, the Broncos defense needed an area
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: or multiple areas to improve.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: But I think you saw by the end.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Of that season, um, I think you saw a little
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: bit of an exposure of what teams found that can work.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: A texter says, slants and crossers are the Broncos' defense kryptonite,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: same as last year.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I don't... The reason why I think has a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: to do with... The only reason I'm hesitating is kryptonite is,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I think, a heavy word for it. It's something that
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: would work with more consistency than really anything else last
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: year against them. I mean, it's not exactly a kryptonite
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: if your defense goes out and holds teams, you know, 17,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: 18 points a game.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: But it is something that I think is a flaw.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: And I think that flaw stems from a lot of
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: those slants and crossers and things like that.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I think bear a heavy responsibility on some linebackers.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: And linebacker is maybe the only spot, while those guys
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: are good, you can't say have any elite all-pro level players.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: You look at every single other sort of position on
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that defense, it's like they're there. On the edge, you
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: got Nick Benito. On the interior, you have Zach Allen.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: On the outside, you have Pat Sertan. In the safety group,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: you have Hufanga. They have good linebackers, not all pro level.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And if you're going to attack the Broncos' defense, where
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: are you going to do it? It ain't going at Sertan.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: You aren't going at Zach Allen. But I think it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: very smart of Vance Joseph to be able to recognize
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: these are what teams are trying to do, and this
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: is how we're.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Kind of being beat.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Texas says, do you think the Broncos respond big time
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: on Friday? It gets Minnesota again. Not that it counts,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: but it matters, I think, collectively that they may crush
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: the Vikings. I'd like to see it. I think that they're... Look,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: it's hard to know in a third preseason game because
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: the ultimate goal of preseason game number three is just
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: nobody gets hurt. Like, I'm somebody that if I were
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: a head coach, I think what I would try and do,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I would try and.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: If I'm playing my starters... Play.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Them in the first couple of preseason games. And I
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: don't think I'm playing anybody in the third one. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: just think, you know what, we got our reps in.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I am not risking any type of injury on any
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: amount of plays the final week. But Sean Payton was
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: so pissed after the game last week, he might. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: if that's the case, I think you'll get a response
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: because Sean Payton wasn't happy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: After last game.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: And the players shouldn't have been either. I mean, they
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: got their butts kicked. We can say whatever we want. Like,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: the starting offense looked fine. Everybody else kind of got toasted.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Well, and Vijay, who's pretty even keel, even said in
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: that sound bite that we used to open the show
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: that his players weren't focused from the warm-ups. And he
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: elaborated on that more later in his presser.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I kind of felt it there. And you want your
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: team to grow and kind of control that part, right?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: If you feel it as a coach in a regular season,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you address that. But obviously in training camp, I want
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to see how they respond to a long camp and
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: playing a better opponent week two. So disappointed in how
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: we came out, obviously.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: You know, there's something else to that, because I was
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: wondering this too. When you go through what is essentially
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: an entire year of non-adversity, okay? The Broncos started the
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: season last year. It's hard to remember this, but it's true.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: They started the year 1-2. If you guys remember, they
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: played Tennessee in the opening game last week. They didn't
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: look great, but they were playing against Cam Ward, rookie quarterback,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: in his first game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: They win 20-12.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: The week after that was a tough game against Indianapolis.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: This is when Daniel Jones was, you know, going crazy.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: This is in the middle of his, like, sort of
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: comeback resurgence bid. So he threw for 300 yards on
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you and Jonathan Taylor ran for 165.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: You lose to the Colts.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: On a last-second field goal, 29-28, and you're now 1-1,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the next week, you go out and play the Chargers,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: and you lose to the Chargers, 23-20, because what ironically
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: happened is, these might be the only two games.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Of the year.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: That you lost the fourth quarter in. You're outscored 10-3
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: against the Chargers, and you're outscored 6-0 against the Colts
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: That was in weeks two and three. But I wonder, what.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Happens this year, especially early, playing against better opponents, when
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: you face adversity, how do you respond? And I don't mean,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you know, you could say adversity, and it is, is
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: losing your starting quarterback heading into the AFC championship game.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: But I'm talking about more of you get punched in
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: the mouth a couple of times. How do you respond
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: to it? You know, we talk about this with the
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: way the Avs season ended. The Avs are the best
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: team in the league from start to finish. Really didn't
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: have a weakness from start to finish. Had a power
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: play that wasn't great. That was straight up bad at
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: times throughout the year. But It wasn't what affected them
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: from a win-loss standpoint. President's Trophy winners, number one, from
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: October to all the way until that Western Conference Final.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: They get hit with a little bit of adversity for
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the first time in a long time that year. And
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: didn't respond well to it. You just went through a
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: season where you went 14-3. And you went 13-1, well,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: actually 14-1.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Until the AFC championship game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You didn't have to deal with a couple of weeks
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: of disappointment outside.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: The first, you know, three of the year.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: How do you respond when things don't go your way?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: When some team just had your number? And I do
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: think that's a big thing for them this year, given
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: how the entire last season went.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So, 303-504-0925.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: We're broadcasting from the back.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: This is Shanker Studios. Serious Lawyers for the Seriously Injured.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: So we have our keywords again today. It's all week, every.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Hour, sometime between the 20-minute mark and 40-minute mark of
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: the hour. If you text in that keyword, you have
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: a chance to qualify for our Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: which is going to be Tuesday at Rooftop Social in Rhino.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: And the winner of that gets a trip to KC
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: with flights, hotel, and tickets to the first game of
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the year, Denver and KC. So another keyword coming your
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: way somewhere. In the next 30 minutes, stick around. All right,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: got that keyword coming sometime in the next 20 minutes.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: So open your ear holes.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: In the meantime, the Big Ten has already said, hey,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: anybody that wants to sign some player who comes from
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: an NFL training camp, you're not allowed.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: That's the Big Ten stance.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: The SEC put out a statement a couple of days
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: ago that said, we don't like this, but then took
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: it a step further yesterday and said, all right, if
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: you've played in the NFL, the NBA, the WNBA, whatever,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: if you have declared for the draft, if you have
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: done this or that, there is no coming back. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: part of me thinks, okay, um, I suppose it's a
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: little bit different in baseball. A guy declares for the
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: draft out of high school, and if he does that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: he has the choice to go to college or to
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: sign his pro contract.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: But if you do it in college, it's over. You
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: are not allowed to play.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: So the interesting thing now becomes, does this open up
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: an avenue for conferences like the Big 12 to go
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: out and get players like this if the SEC and
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Big 10 are not allowing them? My assumption is going
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: to be everybody's going to fall in line. That college
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: athletics as a whole is going to be like, no,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: we can't do this.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: It's not good for anybody. You know, say whatever you want.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: A big reason why college athletics are popular is because
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: a good college athlete eventually goes to the pros and
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: you have this sort of handshake, wink, wink deal between
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: the two conferences. There's only one option in this discussion,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: and it's exactly what the Big Ten and the SEC
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: have done, which is we.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Are not going to allow this.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: And at some point, somebody's got to take a step
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: and tamp down, we'll say, the nonsense that is going
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: on in college sports right now. And what's funny is
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: the NCAA is maybe the most toothless billionaire organization that
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: exists out there. Like when you think about how much
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: money the NCAA is worth, how much money does the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: NCAA make a year?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: The answer that you get.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Is 1.38 to 1.52 billion in revenue annually. And that's
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: just the NCAA. When you include ticket sales and booster
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: donations and conference TV deals and all that stuff that's
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: directly managed by universities, you're talking about roughly $ 20.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Billion a year that exists in college sports in revenue.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: And to have something that is worth that much money
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: in an overseeing sort of head of this that is.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Completely and utterly useless. It's pretty crazy.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: The NCAA used to be sort of this all-powerful god
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: within the college sports realm. Don't you dare trade a
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: jersey for some free tattoos. If you do that, then
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: we're going to bring the hammer. But they've always kind
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: of looked the other way for the most part. On
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: some deep scandals that have very obvious evidence, but it
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: would be bad for the sport if you went full
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: bore into it. They used to punish individual players or
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: they used to punish, you know, schools that were not
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: part of the A-list. But I mean, for years, guys,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: we all knew it. I... I don't know how many
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: big recruits in college that you've talked to before, like
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: guys who play professionally, retired now, that would talk about, oh, well,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: you should have seen what I was offered by Team
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: X when I was in the recruiting process.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: And it could be anywhere from money to cars to
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: houses to.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Some of them were Chicks, you know, like it's crazy
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: what that sport used to be. Part of me is
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: happier that this stuff is kind of all out in
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: the open now, but it is now provided a side
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: door into a whole bunch of nonsense that if we
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: were going back.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: 20, 30 years ago would never have happened.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Now, Crackman Lindahl talked about this yesterday, about Daquan Wright,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: the dude out of the Browns camp that was cut
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: and now wants to go back to college and go
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: to LSU, here's what they said.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: And whether it's crap or not, whether it's some judge
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: that's just in LSU's pocket or not, again, are you
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: really hurting anybody with this whole thing? As long as
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: the kid didn't go full Brendan Swordsby and bet on
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: his own team or whatever. Like, I understand having an issue.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: I had a huge issue with Brendan Swordsby.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: On this one... Dude's looking at it going, I'm not
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: going to make this NFL team. They just had a
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: ruling that said I can get a fifth year of eligibility.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I would like to continue to play college football.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: If I were the NFL and I were college football,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: work it out to where if you decide this kid's
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: not ready, we're sending you back down for more seasoning
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: the way baseball and hockey does.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: You're a professional minor league. Just deal with it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've made yourself that.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: You made yourself that the minute you took millions and
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: billions of dollars for your TV deal.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Let's sell everything to the highest bidder, but then when
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: this kid tries to go and continue to make a
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: living as a football player, I'm sorry, that's just not acceptable.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Because remember, he didn't make any money to go to camp.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I think that there's a separation here, and I totally
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: understand what Crickman and Lindahl are saying, and to be
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: totally fair, I think that it's a totally legitimate argument
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: to make. This has been the process for, I don't know, 60, 70,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: 80 years?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: More than that? You have this agreement. You are our
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: minor league system.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: You benefit from it because the NFL and the scouting
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: departments in the league and everybody else.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Use you.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: As a outsourcing tool to cultivate talent for us until
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: they get to the show.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And then we take over.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: The NCAA loves it because the popularity of the NFL
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: breeds into college football. And then you're looking at college
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: football players. I mean, how many times do we talk about, hey,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: ex-college football player is really good. Let's look at Mel
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Kuyper's mock draft and see where he's going to go.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: All of this helps. They help each other.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: It's a mutually beneficial relationship with no money exchange between
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: the two. To say that you can bring that guy
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: back down and use it as your minor league system,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I think is a legitimate argument.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: But here's the problem. When you're drawing the line.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Between professionals, and we'll call them semi-professionals, aren't amateurs now, semi-pros.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: When you're drawing the line between that, it's always existed
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: at least in a different ecosystem. And I think part
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: of the problem here is, you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Know, I lived in a college football starved town in that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: They had a college football team that was once really
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: good that hasn't been good in a long time. And
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I remember with some changes within college football, a traditionally
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: minded college football fan said, is very similar to a
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: traditionally minded baseball fan in which we don't want our
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: sport to change. It's been this way my entire life.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: That's how I want it to stay.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I know this. I like this. This is the product
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: that I want.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: And as the times are changing, what you need to
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: do more than anything else is change the minds of
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: those people, which is going to be incredibly difficult. The
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: guy from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or the guy from Lincoln, Nebraska,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: or the guy from Columbus, Ohio, or Ann Arbor, Michigan,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: like in living in the state of Michigan for a year,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: they love all their professional sports teams. They love the
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Lions and Wings and Pistons and.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Tigers when they're good.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: But they really love college football, too. They love the Wolverines.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: They love Sparty. They love the basketball teams in college too.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: And some of them, and this is where I think
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Michigan is a little bit different.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Ohio is kind of the same way.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Some of them will have the college team ranked above
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: the professional teams as far as what they love the most.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And when you.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Have this type of mindset, It's very hard for people
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: who feel like they have given and ceded ground over
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: the last decade on, okay, I guess it's just you
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: can transfer whenever you want to. Oh, I guess that
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: kids can just make millions of dollars a year. But this,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: to a lot of them, feels like a step too far.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: But part of this, I think, goes back to the
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: idea that what the NFL doesn't want They don't want
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: a fifth-round pick because here's what's different. When they mention
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: hockey and baseball, when you send somebody down to the
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: minors in baseball or somebody goes back to college after
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: being drafted by a team in hockey, you retain the
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: rights of those players. You still have them. And what
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: the NFL is arguing is we do this already. It's
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: called practice squad. If they go back to college, they
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: are not your property anymore. So let's say you take
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: a fifth round pick. And he's right there on the
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: roster bubble. And it's a, you know what's a good example?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: A Justin Jolie here in Broncos camp. Fifth round pick
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: at a position that you were looking to upgrade. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: don't know if he's going to make the team or not.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Let's say that the Broncos decide on Sunday when it's
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: cut down day that Justin Jolie was just outside that
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: roster bubble and he's now going to be a practice
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: squad member. But somebody from college says, I'll pay you
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: two million bucks to come down to, I don't know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: you pick the team, Florida, and come play. Well, if
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: he goes and does that, the Broncos no longer have
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: the rights to Justin Jolie anymore. And that becomes the issue.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: And I don't think there's going to be any world now.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: in which this would be the first time in a
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: long time, maybe in my lifetime, that the NFL and
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: NCAA would be literally head-butting on the idea of college
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: would say, this is great, put this guy back down
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: in our league.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: He'd be a star.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: He would shine. He would do this and that and
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: make money for himself. And the NFL would say, but
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: what do I get out of it? Because he's no
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: longer a part of my roster. But there is something
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: to be said, and this applies in life as much
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: as it does sports. When change happens, change is hard
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: for people.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Have you guys ever moved before? It's difficult.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: When you go from one place to the next place,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: you're trying to establish a new life, make new friends,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: have a new job, do this and do that. Get
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: used to a new, whatever the new vibe of your
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: city is, probably different from where you move from.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Change is difficult.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, but hopefully when you find a solution, the place
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: you end up, hopefully it's enough.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It's time for another Rock Paper Tickets keyword.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Enough.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Coach, have you seen enough to not have to play.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Bo next week?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I want to play them all until the third quarter
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I understand. Appreciate the question.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Enough.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Text it in now to 303-504-0925.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: That's your first keyword of the day.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: It is enough to 303-504-0925 with your first and last name.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: We'll draw a qualifier five minutes before the top of
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: the hour. You qualify for a chance to play in
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: that Rock Paper Scissors tournament. It's happening on Tuesday at
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Rooftop Social in Rhino. And the winner of that tournament
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: gets a trip to KC with flights, hotel, and tickets
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: to the first game of the season, Denver at KC
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: on Monday Night Football. It's all powered by Bud Light,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: the official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos. Enough is
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: what a lot of people are saying. And this is
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: what I'm getting at with change. You can deal with change,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: but you can't deal with a ton of change at once.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: And the texture says, boomers won't like it is not
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: really an argument as to how it's a bad thing.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: It's not boomers. It's your fan base.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, boomer.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: It's your fan base. It's not boomers. It's consumers. Consumers
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: of your product. Look, man, if you ran a.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: coffee shop and you had a coffee that everybody really
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: liked and then you changed the recipe and it wasn't
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: as good and your regulars who came in and all
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: these new people were like, yeah, I think this is
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: worse than what it was before.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You can't just say, well, suck it, boomer.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: We're changing. You have to listen to your consumer. And
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: texture says being able to go back to college is
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: long overdue. And this is what's best for every single
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: person involved. If an NFL team cuts you, that's a
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: them problem. Well, it's one thing about being cut, I suppose.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: It's another thing of they have a practice squad. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: if this is the case.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Practice squad is kind of what this is for.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Like everybody, what you guys are talking about here, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: another person says, how is that any different when you
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: cut a player?
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: He's no longer your property.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I'm saying if you wanted to cut a guy to
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: keep him on practice squad, because here's what happens on Sunday.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Everybody goes through a line of cuts. When the cuts happen,
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: if you pass through waivers, you can be signed back
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: to a practice squad. And I just think in that sense,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: it changes a lot of the way that you do business. Now,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: what happens here? What happens if a guy is drafted
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the fifth round and he got advice he was going
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: to be a second rounder, but because he went in
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: the fifth round, he wants to go back to college
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: because he'd make more money. These are all the things
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: that I'm talking about that this could lead to. In
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: the case of Daquan Wright specifically, he's being cut. He's
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: not picked up by another team. On its face, I
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: think I'm fine with it. I guess you can go
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: back to college if you want to. But this is
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: another massive shift that I just don't know if people
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: were really expecting.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: So again, 303-504-0925.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Um, He just says, could an NFL team beset by
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: injuries call up a kid from college?
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Let's get weird. Seriously. I mean, in this world that
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: we're heading to, maybe.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: But I don't even think an NFL team would do
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: that because it would take so long to get these
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: guys on ramped.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: There's no way.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: There's no way that you could call up a kid
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: from college who hasn't been on an NFL roster all
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: year and then just say, you're ready to play now.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: I am just somebody that I think, these are two
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: different leagues. Even though they are mutually beneficial to one another,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: they have no partnership with each other. And I don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: think that college football would like the idea of we're
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: getting late in the year, it's getting around the SEC championship,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: and then three guys get called up from Bama to
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: go play in the NFL.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: It's not good for them either.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: When it's a AAA team in Albuquerque, and they're playing
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: for the AAA championship, yeah, you want to win the
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: AAA championship, but if the Rockies are contending in September,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: then you need to call up the guys that are
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: going to give the Rockies the best shot.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Because they're partners. So, I don't know. I understand Crackman
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Lindahl's argument.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, their argument is like, it's basically a wink-wink,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: a nudge-nudge agreement that they have with college football anyway,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: but they are separate things.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: They're separate entities.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: College football!
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Within one another.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: So 303-504-0925, shop mods to text line, one price, one person,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: one hour, back after this.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: All right, I was flipping through the channels yesterday.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I need your guys' help, because I don't know what
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: this is, but on TNT, there was something.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: There was something, I.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Forget the name of it, but it was some dunk
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: contest thing with Mac McClung and other dudes.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: This guy looks like an accountant.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: And they were throwing down some cool dunks. But I
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: have a genuine question. Because this is something I don't understand.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: What is the appeal in watching people you don't know
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: dunk the basketball?
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Who is this show for?
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm not, if you are a viewer of that show,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not chastising you for this. I'm just asking. Does
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: anybody know what I'm talking about here? That was on
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: TNT last night. And it was like a couple of
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: nerdy looking white dudes, Duncan doing three sixties beneath the legs,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: all this different stuff. And I don't know what this
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: show is. And I don't know who the show is for.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Now I have been one. Don't get me wrong to
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: watch some really dumb television. I watched some stupid shows.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: But there's something about that one that bothered me. And
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I think it's because when you think about dunk contests,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: especially in the NBA, the reason why you want to
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: watch the dunk contest is because the dunk man, thank you,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: you want to watch people you know doing it. When
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Mac McClung won, the dunk contest, you know, a couple
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: years in a row, but he was a G leaguer. Like,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: this is terrible. I don't want to watch a YouTuber
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: go out and dunk. I want to watch the best
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: of the best. It's part of the reason why I
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: love the Home Run Derby. The Home Run Derby isn't
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: some guy who mashes in AAA that you've never heard of.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Why is that appealing? You want to see Shohei. And
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: this is like, Again, maybe I'm just getting too old.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: And I'll just chalk it up to that. I have
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: two children. I have one that's in preschool now. And
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: maybe I am just losing my touch. I'm losing my
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: fastball here. I thought about this the other day. Some
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: of the thoughts that are going through my head now
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: as I'll turn 37 in December. The thoughts that go
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: through my head Of things that used to not bother
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: me now do bother me. There's a car that drove
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: too fast on the street in my neighborhood and I
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: wanted to throw a rock at it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: It's over, pal. Seriously, I'm cooked. I'm cooked.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: But the fact that this show was on my television
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: bothered me. And all I have to do is scroll
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: by it. But I almost hate watched it. A texture says,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: watch for their athleticism. Who cares about their name?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: But I've just.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't want to go... How about this?
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: If those same people were at your local 24-hour fitness
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: and they were dunking like that, I think I'd just leave.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: When I'm done with my workout.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think I would sit there on, you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: the sideline of the court and like, well, I don't know.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: What it is. You like that? Like I said, I'm
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: being a jerk. I know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: You can't yell at me for something I'm admitting already
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: on the front end. But I just, I, it's the
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: same thing as, I don't understand how, Nelly, do you
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: watch these streamer people?
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: You'll watch like Twitch streamers and people like that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: And I have no idea how they become famous. And
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: they're just a thing. I've never heard of them in
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: my life. And then everybody goes, oh, I show speed.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: He's the biggest celebrity on earth. He walks on water
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: and I go, I've never, I've never heard of him. Like,
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: where did he come from?
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Or where did he?
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Kai Sinat, that guy.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So I, again, I haven't watched them. So maybe they're
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: just really entertaining. That's the reason why. But a lot
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: of these, I've seen videos of guys that are like,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: they're watching clips of other videos while they're playing a
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: video game and they're commenting on the thing at the
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: same time. It's a very confusing thing. I'm very confused
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: by this. And you guys know me. I have an
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: older soul to start with. The music I listen to
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: is older. I'm very much somebody, I'm anti-AI. I don't
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: like any of this stuff.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: This is how.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: She says, I watch you on Twitch every day. But
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: this is just, it's simulcasting the radio show.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: To me, radio has existed for 100 years. It's a
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: good point.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Or what I don't understand.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I guess we are on Twitch.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, but still, we're not playing video games and having 10,000
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: people watching us all at once. And also, sometimes these
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Twitch streamers who I've never heard of in my life,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: a video will go viral where they're hanging out with, like,
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Kevin Durant in the back of a limo, and I go,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: how does this 20-year-old who plays Fortnite pull Kevin Durant?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Or it's like Kevin Hart and LeBron James and.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Soccer fan x247x whatever their username is like how did
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: you pull those celebrities because you play video games the
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: streaming world is just beyond me it's crazy man.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: It's beyond my comprehension too now texture says Brett did
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: you ever watch slam ball the one where they played
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: on trampolines it's the same thing you don't know a
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: damn person on the screen but it was entertaining as
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: hell to see how the crazy those dunks were No,
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: I disagree with you.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: That is not the same. I did watch slam ball,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: but slam ball was, it was a, it was a sport.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: And I liked it because there was contact. Two guys
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: would like. meet at the rim and like kill each other.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I was just, I didn't know what the show was.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: It's the first time I came across it. And to
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: be honest, I have this bias against Mac McClung already.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: I don't like what he's done to my NBA dunk contest.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: I don't like how the list of dunk contest champions
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: are going to be like Dr. J and Michael Jordan
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: and Mac McClung. Oh, good for you.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: So I am biased.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Did he go what? Three-peat? He went back-to-back, right? Didn't
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: he three-peat or something?
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: It was two or three. I can't remember what it was.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Mac McClung is to the dunk contest what Mariah Carey
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: is to Christmas. Like, the dunk contest comes around, time
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: to wake up Mac McClung from whatever G League team
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: he's playing in. It's your time to shine, buddy.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what soured me on, like, the Twitch
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: stuff as we broadcast on Twitch. And I don't mean
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Twitch the platform. It's how people consume it. Do you remember, Nelly,
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: the days of when we first put our show up
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: on Twitch for this simulcast, this radio show? And, well,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: at this time, Mario was still sitting in your chair.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: And he'd walk in. It'd be like 5.55 in the morning.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: And you want to see who has 120,000 viewers right now?
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: And it's a chick in a hot tub who I said,
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: I've turned this on for five minutes.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: She hasn't said a word yet. I go, who's... Who's
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: watching that? It's not entertainment. It's just a woman sitting there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think people are tuning in to hear what
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: she has to say. I think they want to see
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: her take those little piggies to market, Brett.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: But is that all it takes?
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: What's the man loophole I can get into where I
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: can just sit on a screen without speaking?
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I'll take a look at your loophole if that's what's
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: going to get us views.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, my loophole's up. It was just a girl in
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: a hot tub. Wearing a bikini. 120,000 viewers.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: And I looked at our Twitch at that time. I'm like,
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: three people are watching me right now. Why are we
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: even on this platform?
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Have we ever tried broadcasting Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane live
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: from a hot tub?
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Well, we talked about it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Vic's got a hot tub, and we're like, we should
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: do a show from Vic's hot tub.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, and we have the sponsor, Flatirons Fire.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Do we want to do a show live from a sauna?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: All your patio needs?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: Fire pit? We can make this happen.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Um. By the way, I find this not funny, but
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: pretty crazy. So, Ian Rappaport said, His play has made
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: the plan to make him the starter at the beginning
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: of the season.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Quote, impossible.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: I'll make a comparison. Michael Panik's knee was in a
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: million pieces. He was not going to be ready to
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: start this year. Tua was running, and if this was
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: like a political race, unopposed for the starting job. And
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: I guess has seemingly still lost it. And that's hard
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: to do. So he says it's an alarming sign, quote,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: not just in the preseason game, but it sounds like
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: practice as well, Rappaport says. It is Michael Penix's job
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: for the taking. They brought him in to start, and
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: he played so poorly, they're like, there's.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: No way we can do this.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: And it's amazing to me, how is it possible that
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: a guy that played so well just a few years
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: back has nothing left in the tank? And I know
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: he's got the head injuries, but can't you still throw
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: a football on time, in rhythm?
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: I guess the answer is no.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: More keywords throughout the course of the show today. You
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: can always watch the show live on Twitch. We were
• 43:39
