  Speaker 2: com or joined as we are every Thursday at nine
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: o'clock by Jeff Legwald. Hello Legging, Good morning fellows. We
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: just found out, by the way, so we played a
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: call Jeff of it was the Australian broadcast of the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl and they were very excited about a punt.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I'll just give you a second of it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: You know, old Australian punted Michael Dixon routinely into the action.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: He's gonna kick the drup punt to the corner. It
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: hangs hoigh lands in the field, up, bounces down the outstanding.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: What they love. They love the punt from Michael Dixon.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And what we just found out is one of these
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: guys was listening live to the show and heard that,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: which is bizarre. So shout out to our friends from Australia.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: What do you think of the Broncos punt game? Their
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: leggy how about cross Shaw.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: The Australians have franchised the punt game over a punting academy.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I mean half the punters in college football are Australians,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: so they have found their way into the NFL.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: It's very interesting too because they I mean not only
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: have they found their way, they aspired to do this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: I mean a lot of them play that Australian rules football.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: They do other things. But Jeremy cross Shaw gave me
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: the entire background on how he got involved. You know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: he didn't know what he was going to do, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: then he started going to this school and developed a
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: knack for punting, and here he's in the NFL making
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: a good living.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: No, there's you know, just for the draft.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Every year I go up and down the college rosters
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: and there's just one Australian punter after another, a variety
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of age, which is it's it's pretty amazing. And you know, A,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: because I want to go to Australia and B I
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: think it would be a cool story. I've pitched the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: punting academy story many times, but I have not yet succeeded,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: So I hope to still make that call.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's a smart pitch. Next, I want to go to Amsterdam.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: There's actually a cottage industry of centers up there. We
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: need to go see.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: I try.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: It doesn't mean I always succeed, but I try for
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the offseason.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Like you, what do you think is the number one
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: priority for the Broncos right now?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I think if you watched their season end, you would
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: have to say, you know, they have to You can't
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: just be a throw it around offense in right now
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: in the league, but you got to have some kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: of explosive capability. And it's two years in a row
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: now they have finished twenty ninth or worse in free
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and outs, and that's an awful lot of possessions you're
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: leaving on the table because you can't get a first down.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And when you're twenty ninth one year and thirtieth in
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: another year back to back, that's not a new problem.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: So whatever they need to do to repair that, I
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: think you've got to be middle of the road at least.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I think if you're going to be successful and in
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: there somewhere, they've just got to find more explosive plays.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: You know, they're not ranked very highly in plays of
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: twenty yards or more. Now you know you're not going
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: to have those all the time, but you cannot go
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: the long way down after down, drive after drive and
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: succeed and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: To drill even deeper. I don't have the numbers. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: don't know what their first down percentage is. I don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: know where, but I know in the playoffs first downs
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: were problem. I mean, you got to get somewhere on
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: first down to set up a second I'll allow you to
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: get a good play on third down if you can't
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: get anywhere on first down. I'll give you a case
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: in point, Jeffrey, when the New England plutter shanked that
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: punt and they had it first down at the third
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: three yard line. They lose three yards in the very
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: first play, and you can't do that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Why they did?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: They did that often this year, and I think you
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: know their perimeter game in the run game and the
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: past game, all the bubble screens and the flash routes,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: and they just weren't very good at those. And if
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: you're going to use those like early down run plays
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: like the Broncos do, you like you're saying you've got
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: to do better. And if you're a bad three and
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: out team, you're usually not very good on first down
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: because you're leaving second and long third and middling and
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: that's just not way to go. And you know, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: that's I've told people I've talked to in the league
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: just about on draft calls in the recent weeks here,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: but when I've just been chatting with people, But they
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: essentially wasted one of the best defenses I've seen the
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Broncos have in my time covering the team. That defense
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: was every bit as good as the Seahawks defense that's
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: being celebrated, yep, for winning the Super Bowl because they
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: kicked five field goals in a game that meant a lot.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So it appears defense and field goals can still win
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: your games.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: And the Broncos had.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I think they will be as good or have a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: chance to be as good on defense next year. But
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: they did let one of the best defensive performances this
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: team's ever had.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Result in not winning the whole thing.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Jeff Leagwold with this, All conversations with LEGI are brought
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to you by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers IBW
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Local sixty eight. Start with the job end with a career.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: So on that subject you're talking about, you need bigger
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: plays on offense, you need explosive plays. I have a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: lot of respect for Crlton setting. I think he's very good.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Is he good enough to be your number one wide
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: out or would you look to improve?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I think his life would look a lot different if
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he had another receiver across from him that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: They're good players. I think if Mims is over there sixty.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Percent of the snaps seventy percent of the snaps, I
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: think things look different. But as long as defenses don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: fear rotating everything Courtland's way, it's going to be a
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: lot harder for Courtland's something to function. And that's why
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: every ball, practically every play he makes is a contested
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: catch because they've rotated people to contest with him over there,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and they don't feel I talked to defensive coaches all
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the time who say, we're not really worried about the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: other people. Doesn't mean they don't think the other people
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: are good players. It just means they don't think the
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: ball's going that way.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: To explain why he was so quiet in the playoffs,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: having said, yeah, you look at the numbers. Now the
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Russell Wilson money is off the books. How much money
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: do we have to work with. Now, what have you
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: seen what the Broncos books look like.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they're a pretty good ship. Now.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: They've resigned a lot of people to big contracts, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: the homegrown, which I think is how you get good,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you know, that's that's how you get and stay good
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. Is draft well and resign the guys
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: you like the best. But they can they can participate
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: in free agency. It's not a great free agency class overall.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: So I think they've already hinted from Greg Penner and
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: George Peyton both that they're not going to essentially overpay
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: people just to participate in free agency. I think they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: going to try very hard to pick out the right people.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And it is a good draft at wide receiver. Again,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: it is a defensive heavy draft, but they're there are
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of good players at wide receiver all through
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: each all three days. And I think this is the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: most tight ends that have been invited to the combine
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: in like six years. So there isn't a lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: first round talent at the position, but there are a
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: lot of good players in rounds two through seven. And
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: again I think there were twenty seven tight ends invited
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: to the combine and that's that's a big number.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: All right. So speaking of tight end, I want to
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: get your impression on this. I mean, for a lot
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: of people, Evan Ingram and the expectations for Evan Ingram
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: he did not meet. Although he caught what fifty passes?
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: He got more passes than a Broncos tight end.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Has quiet all right?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So why why didn't work out the way people
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: had hoped? What was it?
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I don't think they made it a part of the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: game plan very often, you know. I think there I
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: would put tight end in sort of the min category
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: of you know, why not try more of those things
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: as the season went on, And I think beyond who's
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: calling plays, I think that's one of the big questions
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: they have to go into the off season with.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: When Sean Payton.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Is looking at an offense that's been very successful for
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: him for a long time, you cannot I mean, Drew
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Brees is going in the Hall of Fame because Sean
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Payton or a big reason is Sean Payton's calling plays.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: So we can't say the guy can't call plays. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I will say people in the league are telling me
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: they have a pretty good idea of what the menu
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: of plays are by who's in the formation, and that
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: is something they got to look at. And I think,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you know a little more of the two tight end.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: That was always Mike Shanahan's card to play if he
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: thought you were hiding rushers in the pass rush or
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: trying to create different varieties of pressure. His big card
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: to play and that's why he had a winning record
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: against Belichick, was to balance out the formation with two
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: tight ends and attack you that way. And I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: this Bronco team could have done that, could have done
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that if they if they chose two more. And you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I would have taken a longer look at Caleb Loner
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: as a red zone threat. Yes he could not run
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: every route in the playbook, but it's huge down down
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: the stretch. I would have just and again, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I'm Timmy the sportswriter.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: But down the stretch, I would have said, here's three
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: plays in the red zone. You you run those spectacularly.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: Let's let's do that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Because defensive people already felt like the Broncos were tipping plays,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: so why not why not shuffle the deck a little bit?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, last thing, for you. We were talking about
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this earlier that see, you had no invites out of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the three hundred nineteen guys at the combine. First of all,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what does that speak to as far as their talent level?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And do you see anyway I know that you're focused
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: more on like evaluating the college talent talent going to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the pros. But how do you think dion can fix
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that problem?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean in this current state of affairs, I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: most people I know in college money are in college money.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's the slip right there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: No, I think it's a uh, it may be an
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: indication that they're not as attractive in the portal as
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the money flows everywhere.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I keep saying that, people keep calling me out saying
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: it's not as much about the money, and I said,
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: it's all about the money. It's all about the money.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: All I gotta do is look around.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: It's insane to think not, yeah, I.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Mean, that's that's the state we're in.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: You can and you can sort of fight the ocean
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: if you want, but it and and sort of lament
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: on how it used to be and all this stuff.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: But there's a reason. You know, the SEC was.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Playing a different game than everybody else for a long time,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and suddenly we've got what three Big Ten national champions
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Because as somebody who went to a Big ten school,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I always said, the amount of money available to Big
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: ten schools and Notre Dame and that area of the
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: country is off the charts, and people in the SEC
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: never got that. But now that the money's out in
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the open, we're seeing it's it's an awful lot. All
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I gotta do is look at Hurley's post game at
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Butler the basketball game. Listen, listen to what Hurley says.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: He basically says, give the Butler coach nine million dollars
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: and he'll give you a really good team.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: And it's, of course it's about the money, but it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: it's about retaining the talent too. I mean, I would
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: guess I haven't looked at the list, but I would
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: guess there's somebody, a player or too, that's transferred from
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Colorado that's at the Combine.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: But I'd have to go look at that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not at the Combine yet, but Jordan Seaton,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you know, will be. I mean, he's gonna it's Jeff
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Lawell joins us every single week always appreciate the insight
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like you, Thank you, buddy.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Thanks both.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Let's see it Jeff LAYWELLDESPN dot Com.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Final seconds of the first period in this Canada Cheschia game.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: W Did you see what happened?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Did you call him?
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I check? Use myself for a second there, CHECKI a game.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Did you see what happened?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: No, mccar drills when in there, and Celebrini tipped it
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: for the goal, and the folks from Chechi are saying
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: he was a high stick.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Check ye check.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: You help me out the Czech Republic. There you go,
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: beautiful tip job. But I want to ask, when is
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the stick to my pins?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Pissed? Oh? Somebody's got blood all over him. Yeah yeah,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: that's pretty borderline.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Do they have reason to argue that that first period
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: was insane? By the way, Yeah, that was insane. The
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: speed on the ice in that first period, I know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and the shots on goal were even.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So it's nothing, nothing by the way for if you're
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: wondering zero zero, But what he's talking about?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Did they not count that goal? They counted it?
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I thought they called that back? No they didn't.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, you're right.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: No, the guys from the Czech Republic. Chechia check ya.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: It's like a.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Check check ya.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: The checkers team. Yes, they wanted a high stick. They
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: didn't get it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That looked clean to me. I thought
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you were saying sorry, I was I didn't see because
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I was talking to lay you. I thought you said
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: they did call it back. Uh No, that looked clean
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to me. But uh so, Canada is up one to nothing.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: In the waning seconds of that, mccarr gets the assist
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: off of the tip from Celebrainy. So three oh three,

  Speaker 5: And I'm trying to figure out why is there any
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: desire for you? Like, are you thinking about lifelong trips
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: to go to one of the Arctic circles?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, I'd like to see the big ice wall improve.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: This Earth is flat? Just kidding? No, I have no
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: desire none.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, just hang out in the cold all day.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: What are we doing here?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of places I'm just like, pass, no thanks, I.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Mean some cold places in Arvada. I can go to.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: What's the difference, you'd see Penguins cool? I can actually
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: watch the movie Penguins be just as good.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It's he a polar bear.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I got a theory though, follow me on this one,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: all right. And I don't know why people huh it's
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: about flat Earth? No, no, no, people are so bent about
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: you know. The argument was brought up why is Lend
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Skoog playing his first game for Canada? But I'm sorry
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Sweden and didn't play for the Abs. And I have
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: no problem with it whatsoever. These guys are hyped up
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: to playing these Olympics. All you have to do is
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: watch the first period of that check yah Canada game,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: to see how intense it is? Did you see it?
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: How intense it is? These guys are into it? So
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: what's wrong with saying this? What's wrong with saying that
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: a player for Team USA or Team Canada or Team
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Sweden or team check you. What's wrong with saying that, Yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: they're more into this game than they are a mid
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: January game against San Jose. Why is that such a
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: what sacrilege? I would be too. The Olympics come around
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: every four years. You get to play for your country.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: What what's the big deal? Oh, well, they don't pay you, so,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: but this is it's different. It's an honor.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: there's a there'sn't an issue with it. I don't have
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: one anyway.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know you get those whispers huh, which
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: this guy played this hard for us? You know what
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: you know, you know where they come from. You know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: you know what you get.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: There's also, like, here's something else that's a factor in this.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: There's a finality to each game that you're playing in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the Olympics. There isn't eighty more games after that that
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you can make up for it with and so the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: intensity is wrapped up because it's not quite win or
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: go home now, but it's certainly like that. It would
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: it would be more apt to compare the intensity of
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: these games to playoff games a playoff series, because that's
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: what you're getting. That's the difference. I mean, there is
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a a real sense of if we lose, we are
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: going to leave and I want to win.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Does the game look so much faster at the Olympic
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: version because the rink's a little smaller.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Could yeah, I could have something to do with it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's also it's literally the best players from your country,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: and when you have a team like Canada, they got
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: quite a few of them. I mean that too.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: But now I'm telling you it's one nothing Canada. But
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: if you watch that first period, man, well.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Let's take this back, Nolly, do you still have that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: audio from a PhD yesterday that we played earlier in
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the show, Because their whole thing was they were I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if it was angry, but they were feeling
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: some type of way about Gabe not playing for five
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: weeks for the Avs then showing up the first game
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: of the Olympics. Here I was listen.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: I understand the international love of international competition. It's the
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: biggest thing for the country Sweden. Sweden were to win
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: a gold for example, it's bigger than any of their
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: Swedes winning at Stanley Cup, much bigger for the country.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: I get that you're making twelve million dollars to play
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: for the ABS and you ain't played in five weeks.
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Is I don't know what to say about I agree
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: it is so weird. Ain good for Gabe, Yeah, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: it just feels weird that he's missed all that time
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: with the Avs and he's back on the ice scoring
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: goals for Sweden.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: Dan, how do you feel about you or a hockey guy?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like it either.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, Scott bid right, it does feel a
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: little strange like Hadgate just.
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: Been healthy, like McKinnon and mccar or whatever, it wouldn't feel.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Like that big of a deal.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: Right, But he has five weeks of AVS games.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: And what kind of person you can got it? Why
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: do you laugh when Danner saying that.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: No, they just dragged him into it. Hey, yeah, you
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: agree too?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Am I am?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I right?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Dan?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Am I right? I'm gonna make this very clear.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I don't like it either. Whatever's not gonna get me
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a punch in the face.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Is the last person. Gabriel Lindskog is the last person
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I would ever question for his desire to help his
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: team play.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Ever, he gave up three years to come back from
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: a devastating injury that no one comes back from and
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: sport hockey, he'd beat the last person. And guess what.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Guess what even if he did, Let's say he did
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: have the option to play the last two games before
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: the Olympic break and said, you know what, I'll sit
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: these out on he deserves it. I don't care. Don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: bother me one iota.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Here's what I think happened. And first of all, like
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: where I start with this is to say you have
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: a problem with this, The only reason you would have
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: an issue is the the coded sort of message here
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: is Gabe didn't care about playing about the Avs and
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: he does care about playing for Sweden, which I think
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous. He's the captain of this team and he
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: has done everything to show that he will live and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: die with the Avalanche. Here's what I think happened. This
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: is right by the way around the time frame that
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Bednar told us when he got hurt. It's like, he goes, yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a few weeks. This is right, the
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: timeframe for the recovery of the injury. I bet Gabe
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: was probably healthy enough to play, maybe in the San
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Jose game before the break, maybe the game before that,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: and the Apps said, don't really see a point, keep
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: taking rest of time, We'll be fine come back after
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the break. I almost guarantee that was the case.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: We're creating stupid controversy that doesn't need to be created.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I love these Olympic games because you are playing for
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: the honor of your flag, the honor of your country,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: and that's just the way it is. And I have
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: no problem admitting maybe a guy gets more intense for
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: a game against you know, Team USA than he does
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: a mid January game against Utah. Big deal. Yeah is
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: that wrong?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't like it either. Texter rings up a
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: good point. What if it were Joker. What if Joker
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: missed a month like as he did, did not play
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a game for the Nuggets, and then the first game
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: of the Olympics for Serbia to the middle of the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: basketball season, he plays that first game. Would you be
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: saying the same thing that you didn't care about playing
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: for the Nuggets and now he cares about playing for Serbia.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I think he'd be foolish to do that. Really foolish, dude.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I just think we don't take enough into account the
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: length and the dog days of an NHL and NBA season.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of games, bro. Yeah, they're all not equal,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: they don't feel equal. There's gonna be days. Trust me,
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: we see it, we feel it. We saw what the
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Nuggets this week.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Those dudes, just those dudes wanted to get the hell
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: out of here. I mean, I mean they played a
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Memphis team last night. Let me remind you half of
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: the guys I didn't even know we're in the league.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: May either.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: You play that game. Let's say that game last night
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: was a game that meant seeding in the playoffs. It
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: came it was the final week of the season. You
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: had to win that game to avoid OKC or something.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: You think the intensity is a little different.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also think again, is the intensity of these
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: games are because the stakes are high. If you lose,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: there's a good chance you're going to be out of
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: this Compare it to a playoff series. That's the kind
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: of intensity. It's not the same as it's Game fifty
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: against Memphis or whatever game it is for them. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: don't know what game it is, but it's not the same.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Somebody said, well, you know, he's coming back to highly
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: intense games like playoff games. H Correct me if I'm wrong.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: When Gabe came back from his three year recovery, what
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: game did he come back to?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Game three of the playoffs.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Wasn't that a playoff game?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: What's the difference? I mean, why don't you people worry about?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: What are you worried about?
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to be worried about. Nothing.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: You know what. I'll admit it right now. If you
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: ask Nathan McKinnon point blank, Hey, Nate, what game means
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: more to you? Today's game against check you or you
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: last game against San Jose? What means more do you?
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Deep down?
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: There's no question he'll never answer that question, right, He'll never, because.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes he would. I think I think he wouldn't
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: hesitate in saying this game means more to him. And now,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: even though he doesn't get paid a dime, what you
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: might have trouble with is playoff game, or this game
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: what means means more to you that one? He might
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: stay mom on if he came out and said with
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: his chest into a microphone, this game means more to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: me than San Jose did. I'd be like, yeah, I
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: get it. I wouldn't fault him at all. There By
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the way, I don't know if you guys have been
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: keeping up on current events. The ABS are really good,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like really really good, have a really comfortable lead in
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the NHL for points right now.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, so let's use this same philosophy. There's going to
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: be an NBA All Star Game played on Sunday. They've
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: tried for the last ten to fifteen years to add
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: some intensity to that game, and they failed every year.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: What do you think we're gonna see Sunday on the
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: level of intensity one to ten? What do you think
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: we're going to get? This is Team World versus Team USA.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: And by the way, the world's gonna be missing SGA,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: They're gonna be missing Giannis, They're gonna be key players
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: are out for this World team as well as the
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: US team. A five five. Do you think it will
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: be more intense than what we saw the last two
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: three years?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but that's if you care at all about basketball,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: then it's more intense than it was over the last
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: few years. Like I think, how about this, VIC, I
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: think you'll have a lull in the middle of the
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: game where it looks a little bit like the last
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: few years, and then if the game's close at the end,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I think it gets intense. That's how I think happens.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's what the All Star Game was always like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: got really intense at the end of game. Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think this fixes their problem. I don't think
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: that this is something to where it was a nothing game,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: where it's half court heaves, and now all of a sudden,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: it's going to be like a full court press, you
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. I don't think they're doing that,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: but it's probably gonna have a little bit more juice
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: than it did in previous years.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: I'm here, I'm reading here on the text line, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: I didn't see this, So excuse me for my ignorance.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Someone said that it has already said it into a
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: microphone that winning the gold is more important to him.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: I'm not aware of this. I need to see this.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: But I even if you said, I would have no
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: problem saying that. None no issues with somebody's saying that, Umm.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: In an Olympic.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you right now. I am paid by
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: this company to do this radio show. But if I
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: got to represent Mike County, my country at the Radio Olympics, yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: because there is a Radio Olympics. If I represented our
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: country at the Radio Olympics, it would need more to
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: me than having to walk in here with you, Moser
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: and Nelly.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no real championship in radio though. It's hard
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: to compare.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Oh no, there is. You're just not aware of it.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: You've not been invited. I've been there four times.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: What's it called?
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Got three silvers in the gold?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: In what categories?
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Radio?
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: How do you competition? There's some dunk coops to starts, dunk.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Hoops always in Vic's Olympics, dunk hoops.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: I'm doing this for years. You gotta get invite though.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't find the quote that people are talking about.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Why does everyone Josh writes why does everyone care? If
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: the All Star Game is competitive? It's an exhibition? See Josh,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: I'm right, I don't care. I know what it is.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I I go to that game, knowing fully what to expect.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: It's the All Star game, in my book, is a
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: corporate thank you, it's a fan thank you. It's hey,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: let's go see all these stars assemble together and let's
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: celebrate them for the weekend. Yeah, it's not a game.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: It's never been a game, and I don't think it'll
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: ever be a game again. It is just a ah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: let's just get these dudes together and say we love you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: That's what it is. I wish I could tell you more.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: It's an award ceremony, that's what it is. In the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: middle of the season.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: It's all It's a retreat, it's a symposium. There's a
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: lot of stuff going on behind the scenes of All
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Star Weekend. You should see the amount of corporate money
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: being made at these things. Oh, the appearances for these athletes,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: for their respective marketing companies, their shoe companies, whoever they endorse.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: There's stuff. I mean, it is insanity. That's why when
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Joker talks about his schedule over the weekend, it's not
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: about the game. That's the easy part.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: It's the stuff you have to go.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: You understand where he's pulled to, how many events he
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: has to Jamal, and like, Jamal's gonna get his first
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: taste of it this weekend, and I'm very anxious to
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: see how he reacts. If you think that they just
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: show up in La and just say, hey, I'm here,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: let's let's play ball. No no, no, no, Every hour
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: is accounted for. Literally, well, I'm here on behalf of bounty.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah. One last reminder, the key word for this
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: hour is Arctic. So text that in your first last
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: name to three oh three five four nine two five
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: gives you a chance to get in the building ball arena.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: March first, as Denver takes on Minnesota, Uh with somebody
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: has the.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Goal to ask me this, Vic, could you explain dunk coops?
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: What country do we live? Is this a proper country?
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: No wonder the rest of the world has caught up
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: to us.

  Speaker 2: mean he's got that hairline is receiving. He's got the
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: island growing up here, which I think has got to

  Speaker 10: gold medal match.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Sorry, dude, these guys are playing hard, Okay.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Mark Stone looks like I think he looks like a
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: guy who owns a lake house and he's always drinking
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: from a cup like this, vic and he's drinking it
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: all day. But you have no idea what's in there?
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: He he looks like a guy who carries a thermist
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: around and you know he's not coffee in that therm.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like there's some mystery.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: What a pretty Oh my gosh. Sorry, I can't watch
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: a sport and I'll give you some attempted play by play.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Canada is on a prowl right now.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: So Canada is up to to nothing against check you
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: they're about to port on him, aren't they home run?
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're bringing it, yep.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna be ugly for check you. Well,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: here's the good news. If Chechia lose is really quick
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: in this thing, Martin Nachius gonna be well rested by
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: the time we get back. So a few different details
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: to what we're facing now. The Olympic break is going
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: on for hockey, the All Star break is now here
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: for the NBA, and now we have nothing for a
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: long time. But I think both of these teams desperately
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: needed a break, desperately, and now I have. And I
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: know guys can point to like, Hey, the Olympics, that's
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: not a break, They're still playing hockey. It's not the
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: same grind though. It gets you out of your your yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: your rut or routine.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: It changes things, right, It just changes the the rhythm
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: of the of the week. Yeah, and the rhythm got
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: out of sorts for both teams. Yes, injuries led to that,
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: but again I will echo the Denver Nuggets are only
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: one game back of their pace through fifty five games
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: that they were on last year.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think it's remarkable.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: So despite all the injuries, despite all the unrest, despite
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: all the adversity, all the lineups, all the turnovers, my god,
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: they were turnovers. Last night. They're still right there. Now.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: The only issue I have, and it's not even an issue,
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: it's a question can it be answered? Because at first
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I would have looked at this team and said, oh,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: they'll beat anybody their first six games after this All
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Star break. Look at that schedule. They won't have a
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: g they won't have Peyton Watson, So you can't lean
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: on on all those bodies. You're gonna have to do
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: it with what you had last night. Yeah, look at
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: the first six games, and you tell me what record
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: would you accept through those six games? Do you mean
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: to go through them for you?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: Crap. Now, I was hoping you'd do it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: You said you, Well, you said, do you want me
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: to do it?
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Now? I'll do it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I gotta I got it right here.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: You're ready?
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: When they come back, they're on the road for three straight,
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: and none of these three is easy. At LA, the Clippers,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: at Portland, at Golden State. Then they're home against Boston,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: back on the road at OKC, home against Minnesota.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Forn two four and two for you, FORRN too, you
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: should beat the Clippers, you should beat Portland, you should
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: beat Golden State. I mean, I know they.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Lost that Portland when they had everybody healthy early in
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: the right.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I know it's back to backs and those are on
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the road and those are difficult.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Fine, they lost that Golden State to start the season.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Golden State doesn't have Jimmy anymore.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I think you need to go four and too. Like
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: this team, Vic. I understand they're missing a couple of guys.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: This team is good, they're championship contenders. They should be
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: able to go four and to in that stretch.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: You know what's crazy. I'm look at it.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: By the way, the thing that they're better at, which
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: is playing on the road, is four of the six games.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at that stretch. Look at the following stretch
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: after that stretch, the stretch upon the stretch, So the
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: first six stretches to look at this second stretch Lakers
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Nicks OKC, there Houston at San Antonio, Lakers again, I
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: meant your first twelve games back, Holy.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Moly, No, the brutal. They're bad. But you know what,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to be a good team, So figured out,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: give me some winning.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: That is the toughest twelve games stretch the Nuggets have
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: on the schedule all year. But you're right, you're right
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: if this is indeed a championship team in the championship roster,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: and we have to wash away what happened this week
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: in the last few games. This is the run where
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: they get right, no matter who's in front of them.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Canada up two to nothing right now, ten
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: minutes left in the second period over Chechia. The US
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: plays at one ten this afternoon against Latvia. Who's on
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: the Latvian team? By the way, do you do we
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: have anybody that recognizable, super recognizable against Lafa Lafia Olympic
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Hockey roster. Let's see there's no abs on Latvia, right,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, vic. Let's think that's another one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, what I don't know what damn Lava?
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about I don't know where it's at.
