- 0:18Speaker 3: But it's tipped in front.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Backhander from Lekkonen. He scores!
- 0:24Speaker 4: We're up all night to get lucky.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Pushes it for Natchez.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Onside.
- 0:29Speaker 5: Doesn't have a ton of space.
- 0:31Speaker 2: He makes some room. Natchez spins loose.
- 0:32Speaker 4: Leads it for Nathan McKinnon just off the bench.
- 0:34Speaker 6: McKinnon.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Back for Natchez.
- 0:35Speaker 4: He scores! It's a Marty party. McKinnon into the circle
- 0:43Speaker 4: back for Tabes and lets it go.
- 0:44Speaker 5: Save made.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Rebound. They score.
- 0:50Speaker 4: It's another Marty party.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Tabes will get there.
- 0:54Speaker 7: Oh, we got another fight.
- 0:55Speaker 4: McKinnon's going to go right by.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Who is that?
- 0:57Speaker 4: It's Ropey Hintz right by McKinnon, right by McKinnon. And
- 1:00Speaker 4: Hintz goes down to the ice like a ton of bricks.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Second fight of the year by Nathan McKinnon, and he
- 1:07Speaker 4: gets up bloodied but grinning.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Stars win it.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Harley has it at the point. Two seconds.
- 1:12Speaker 8: One.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Thrown towards the cage, and we are done in Dallas.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Colorado comes in and gets two points against their Central
- 1:20Speaker 4: Division rivals. And deep in the heart of Texas, Colorado
- 1:24Speaker 4: gets a 3-2 win.
- 1:26Speaker 3: On the stupid abs feed, I hate these.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Commentators, bro. Those are the worst commentators.
- 1:33Speaker 6: In the league.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Ah, yes.
- 1:37Speaker 5: A game against our old friends, the Dallas Stars.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Stupid abs feed.
- 1:43Speaker 9: Abs win in Dallas. They'll play again tonight.
- 1:47Speaker 2: That frigging nerd. Who is that guy, Nelly?
- 1:50Speaker 3: Those are the worst commentators in the league.
- 1:52Speaker 5: No, I like this guy. He's a passionate man.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I like it.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Um.
- 1:58Speaker 9: I ask, Mosher wants to sit here and brag because
- 2:01Speaker 9: his keys to the game were to score three because
- 2:02Speaker 9: Dallas has trouble scoring, and I will agree with you.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Mosher, good job. Your keys nailed it. Here's my key.
- 2:10Speaker 9: I wanted McKenzie Blackwood to go out against a hated rival,
- 2:15Speaker 9: making his fifth start of the year out of six games.
- 2:17Speaker 5: They are force-feeding him, and.
- 2:20Speaker 9: I get it's a back-to-back, but still, they have very
- 2:23Speaker 9: clearly been force-feeding him and not doing their typical rotation
- 2:26Speaker 9: from last year, saying, Earn the job.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Just take it.
- 2:30Speaker 9: And Mackenzie Blackwood desperately needed a game in which I
- 2:34Speaker 9: think built up his confidence and the fan base's confidence
- 2:38Speaker 9: in him. He faced some very, very dangerous scoring chances
- 2:45Speaker 9: last night and was awesome. Best he's looked to me,
- 2:49Speaker 9: I don't know, a long time, we'll say. He was,
- 2:54Speaker 9: and this is when you score seven goals a game,
- 2:58Speaker 9: It's difficult to say this, but this is true last night.
- 3:01Speaker 9: Mackenzie Blackwood was the reason you won.
- 3:04Speaker 2: He was very good. He was very good. But I didn't...
- 3:09Speaker 2: I guess I didn't think it was going to be
- 3:12Speaker 2: anything different than that.
- 3:13Speaker 9: It could have been if he didn't make saves.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I reckon.
- 3:18Speaker 9: That's my point. Like, yes, they scored two. They scored
- 3:21Speaker 9: two because Blackwood bails you out.
- 3:23Speaker 5: I mean, Malinsky....
- 3:27Speaker 9: Passing his baby right over the middle of the ice,
- 3:29Speaker 9: going back the other way with a man charging down
- 3:31Speaker 9: the slot.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Gabe Landeskog did the exact same thing.
- 3:34Speaker 9: And Mackenzie Blackwood made some huge saves on those.
- 3:39Speaker 2: I love those guys. But if you have the puck.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And you literally throw it.
- 3:46Speaker 5: It's your baby.
- 3:47Speaker 2: You have your baby. Nelly, do we have that? What's
- 3:49Speaker 2: that clip from? How long ago was that clip?
- 3:51Speaker 5: It's not a clip. It was a poll question we
- 3:53Speaker 5: put out.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Oh, poll question. Okay.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Hang on, hang on. I always have to go back
- 3:56Speaker 5: and read it so I get it verbatim.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Wait, you saved the poll question?
- 4:00Speaker 5: No, I can just search it.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Okay. Would you throw your baby across the top of
- 4:06Speaker 2: the crease to get banged into a wide open net
- 4:09Speaker 2: or something like that?
- 4:10Speaker 5: Hang on, hang on, hang on.
- 4:11Speaker 9: Would you throw your baby across the top of your
- 4:13Speaker 9: own crease to a guy on the other side with
- 4:15Speaker 9: a guy charging down the slot?
- 4:16Speaker 5: Yes or no? But that's what the Avs did.
- 4:20Speaker 2: They did it twice. Bro, I know.
- 4:23Speaker 3: I saw.
- 4:23Speaker 2: I watched. I know. Incidentally, I sit there on the
- 4:27Speaker 2: couch with my teeth in my mouth just watching.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Another great game with two fights.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I'm like this. I'm totally Ricky Bobby with my hands.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I'm like, eh, I don't know what to do with myself.
- 4:42Speaker 2: It was pretty stunning. You don't just take the puck
- 4:47Speaker 2: and throw it back into your own zone in the
- 4:49Speaker 2: high slot when a guy's actually cruising into the zone.
- 4:54Speaker 2: What a save. I mean, an excellent save. But, you know, honestly, Brett,
- 4:57Speaker 2: and I'm not being– this is not homerism. This is
- 5:00Speaker 2: not– you know, being a sycophant, I expected a really
- 5:06Speaker 2: good performance from him and from the team.
- 5:07Speaker 6: I did.
- 5:08Speaker 2: I just did. Sure. After the last game on Saturday night,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I just expected them to respond because that's what they do.
- 5:14Speaker 2: The Avs rarely stack silly losses in a row. You
- 5:19Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 5:20Speaker 8: Yes.
- 5:20Speaker 2: They very rarely stack things that are not good back-to-back.
- 5:26Speaker 2: So they typically respond well after a silly loss and
- 5:29Speaker 2: doing silly things, and that's exactly what they did. And
- 5:31Speaker 2: he had... Talking about Blackwood, a very good performance. Needed it.
- 5:37Speaker 2: All good. You win the game. Nachos a couple of tallies.
- 5:40Speaker 2: You get a power play goal. Good stuff.
- 5:43Speaker 5: So, a couple things here.
- 5:46Speaker 9: Number one, can I just address, Sam Malinsky was a
- 5:49Speaker 9: healthy scratch in the last game.
- 5:51Speaker 6: Right.
- 5:52Speaker 5: He plays in that one because Cale's having twins. Him, himself.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Not his wife. He was on the operating table.
- 5:59Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding.
- 6:01Speaker 5: But Cale is missing from the game.
- 6:04Speaker 9: You made the Girard trade last year in part because
- 6:09Speaker 9: of your confidence in Sam Malinsky.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Because his development has been on par, yes.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Should I be concerned about Sam Malinsky?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Well, I would be. Okay. If you want reality, we'll
- 6:22Speaker 2: talk to Coach about it at 9 o'clock. Yeah. You're
- 6:27Speaker 2: doing things that he's doing things that are atypical. for
- 6:33Speaker 2: whatever reason.
- 6:34Speaker 5: He doesn't do dumb stuff like that.
- 6:36Speaker 2: He does not do dumb stuff.
- 6:39Speaker 5: But he's been doing dumb stuff.
- 6:41Speaker 2: He's done a couple of things. He's done, I would say,
- 6:44Speaker 2: a handful of head-scratching things so far this season, which
- 6:48Speaker 2: is atypical to who he is as a player and
- 6:51Speaker 2: the kind of game that he plays. Because what Jared... Okay. Okay.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Let's get back to Hockey 101 and Coach Bettinar 101
- 7:00Speaker 2: because we talk to Coach every week. You know Coach well.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You played golf with Coach, right? Yes. You know him.
- 7:06Speaker 2: On a personal level, what does he like?
- 7:10Speaker 5: Consistency.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And predictability.
- 7:14Speaker 5: Yeah, I figured that's the same thing, but yes. If
- 7:18Speaker 5: you're consistent, you're predictable.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Okay, well then the English language, if it's the same thing,
- 7:24Speaker 2: then why are there two different words?
- 7:26Speaker 5: I don't know. Why are you a bozo and a clown?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Okay. He's got the hat on today.
- 7:32Speaker 2: That's why.
- 7:32Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, you get the clown shoes.
- 7:37Speaker 2: How was jury duty? You think that's funny?
- 7:39Speaker 5: Go ahead, Krusty the Clown.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Finish your point.
- 7:41Speaker 10: My jury duty? No, it was actually great, Moj. I
- 7:43Speaker 10: sat in a room for three hours. They didn't call
- 7:46Speaker 10: my number, and I left. And so, please, hold your applause.
- 7:49Speaker 10: I know I'm an American hero. I'm doing my civic duty.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Please. Sounds like you'd love life.
- 7:54Speaker 5: Moj, finish your point.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Sit in a room for three hours by yourself, your
- 7:57Speaker 2: teeth in your mouth, and you leave.
- 7:59Speaker 5: Mosher, finish your point.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Three hours?
- 8:00Speaker 3: That's a little long, Mosher.
- 8:01Speaker 5: Mosher, finish your point.
- 8:03Speaker 2: I forget what it was, to be honest with you.
- 8:05Speaker 2: It was predictability. He likes predictability. He likes fire and
- 8:09Speaker 2: forget missiles. Listen, any coach is like that. You don't
- 8:14Speaker 2: need that particular player to be the best guy on
- 8:17Speaker 2: the planet. You just need to know what you're getting
- 8:19Speaker 2: out of that player. Right? If you're a football coach...
- 8:24Speaker 2: and you have a right tackle, just know that he's
- 8:27Speaker 2: going to hold his own on a rusher. Yeah. You're
- 8:32Speaker 2: not holding every play. You're not getting beat every play.
- 8:36Speaker 2: You're not drifting into the ether and letting guys get
- 8:39Speaker 2: to your quarterback. I mean, just predictability is what it's
- 8:42Speaker 2: all about.
- 8:42Speaker 9: Look, I don't need my– how about this, Moj? I
- 8:44Speaker 9: don't need my shortstop to hit 50 bombs in a year.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 8:47Speaker 9: I need him to hit 270, not make errors in
- 8:49Speaker 9: the field, and get on base.
- 8:51Speaker 2: I need my– the third guy in my rotation– Give
- 8:55Speaker 2: me six quality innings. That's it. And I know you're
- 8:57Speaker 2: going to give up probably three or four runs in that... Whatever.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Just give us a shot.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Yeah. But I know what I'm going to get. You're
- 9:04Speaker 2: not going to get shelled.
- 9:05Speaker 9: But Malinsky needs to do that. He needs to get
- 9:08Speaker 9: back to that stuff.
- 9:08Speaker 5: That is correct.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Yeah. So.
- 9:11Speaker 5: You have those.
- 9:12Speaker 9: You have McKinnon's second fight in six games. Again, I've
- 9:15Speaker 9: told you I'm not a fan of this. I know
- 9:16Speaker 9: Coach isn't either. We'll ask him about it at 9
- 9:20Speaker 9: o'clock this morning. He's going to tell you. He's going
- 9:22Speaker 9: to be like, well, this is the competitor that Nathan
- 9:24Speaker 9: McKinnon is. He doesn't want Nathan McKinnon punching anybody twice
- 9:28Speaker 9: in six games. I do.
- 9:31Speaker 2: I know that Coach doesn't, but I do. I enjoy.
- 9:33Speaker 2: He already had a cut nose. That skin is very,
- 9:41Speaker 2: very thin. Okay. Understand that the skin. Was it a stick? No,
- 9:46Speaker 2: it was his visor. He got elbowed in the head
- 9:49Speaker 2: and his visor. The thing with these visors is that
- 9:52Speaker 2: when you hit them in the front, they go into
- 9:54Speaker 2: your face and they cut you. Right. So he already
- 9:56Speaker 2: had very thin skin. You know what I love about
- 9:59Speaker 2: McKinnon though? though? He's just like Joker. There is no reverse.
- 10:07Speaker 2: You've seen a dump truck. You've seen a garbage truck.
- 10:10Speaker 2: And what do they do when they back up? Beep, beep, beep.
- 10:13Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 10:15Speaker 2: These guys don't have a reverse gear. They just go straight.
- 10:19Speaker 2: They go straight. They go forward. So did Hintz catch
- 10:22Speaker 2: him pretty good? Yeah, that first punch. And what do
- 10:25Speaker 2: you do? Go straight forward.
- 10:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I love that.
- 10:30Speaker 9: Look, I like watching a fight as much as anybody.
- 10:32Speaker 9: I don't want to see a dislodged knuckle, meaning he
- 10:34Speaker 9: misses two months.
- 10:35Speaker 2: No, I completely agree. You don't want Nathan McKinnon to
- 10:38Speaker 2: be hurt. You don't want that right hand.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Svechkov can fight all he wants to. That's fine with me.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Fine with me, too.
- 10:43Speaker 5: Svechkov, you get after it.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Agreed, but what I'm saying to you is that you've
- 10:47Speaker 2: got to hold your own. and you've got to protect your,
- 10:51Speaker 2: your teammates. And that's exactly what he does. I mean,
- 10:55Speaker 2: every single guy on that bench is like, you're damn right. Yeah.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Every single guy on Dallas is like, I'm glad it
- 11:03Speaker 2: was you, not me. I'm dead serious, dude. There are
- 11:06Speaker 2: guys that they don't fight a lot, but they can
- 11:10Speaker 2: fight and they go forward and they're strong and tough
- 11:14Speaker 2: and sinewy. And that's what Nathan McKinnon is. I love it.
- 11:17Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. Um, Would you ever see, imagine
- 11:21Speaker 2: Conor McDavid doing that. And I'm not here to punk McDavid.
- 11:25Speaker 2: But he just, he wouldn't.
- 11:27Speaker 5: He wouldn't do it.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Imagine Kucherov. Nelly, imagine Nikita Kucherov going toe-to-toe with somebody
- 11:33Speaker 2: like that. No. In fact, I'll tell you what. Let
- 11:36Speaker 2: me go down. I'm going to do this live on
- 11:40Speaker 2: the air. Live on this show. And by the way,
- 11:42Speaker 2: I think today's going to be a really interesting show.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I'm in a mood. Vic got caught in a bad wreck.
- 11:49Speaker 2: I feel bad for him.
- 11:50Speaker 5: He was not in the wreck.
- 11:51Speaker 10: Yes, the traffic in the wreck is preventing his getting
- 11:54Speaker 10: to studio, yes.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Let me go through the top 12 guys in the league.
- 11:59Speaker 2: How many of these guys would do what McKinnon did? McDavid? No.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Evan Bouchard out of Edmonton? Maybe he's a big guy.
- 12:07Speaker 8: Maybe.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Jack Eichel? No. Sebastian Ajo in Carolina? No. William Nylander?
- 12:14Speaker 6: No.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Austin Matthews? No. Leon Dreisaitl may, if you provoke him. Yeah.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Kirill Kaprizov. Is he going to go toe-to-toe with somebody? No,
- 12:23Speaker 2: he won't. Andrei Svetchnikov.
- 12:26Speaker 6: No.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Kim Stutzla. Out of Ottawa.
- 12:30Speaker 6: No.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Kyle Conner. No. Matthew Kachuk.
- 12:34Speaker 8: Yes.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Quinn Hughes. No. Clayton Keller.
- 12:40Speaker 9: No.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Elias Pettersson, no. These guys are not built the same
- 12:45Speaker 2: as Nathan McKinnon is. He's built differently. And he's got
- 12:49Speaker 2: what I really appreciate. He's got that anger screw that
- 12:53Speaker 2: when you turn it and the anger comes on, he goes.
- 12:57Speaker 5: No, he's a bull. He just sees red.
- 12:59Speaker 6: That's all.
- 13:01Speaker 9: Now, here's the other thing from the game last night, quickly.
- 13:05Speaker 9: Marty Natchez is a hell of a player. He has
- 13:08Speaker 9: a lot of really, really, really, coveted skills. He showed
- 13:15Speaker 9: them off last night multiple times to the tune of
- 13:17Speaker 9: two goals. He still, at times, Moj, passes up a
- 13:23Speaker 9: good play for the perfect play. And I don't think
- 13:26Speaker 9: he realizes that, like, you're as good as anybody if
- 13:30Speaker 9: you're one-on-one with the goalie.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Just fire it, dude. Just fire it. And you watch
- 13:34Speaker 5: him score, you're like, dude, how is it? Nate would never.
- 13:39Speaker 9: And he shouldn't because he's You want him shooting the puck.
- 13:44Speaker 9: And I love Marty Nages. But it does feel like
- 13:47Speaker 9: he has one-on-one with the goalie, but he'll see somebody
- 13:50Speaker 9: like backside. He's like, if I put the perfect pass
- 13:52Speaker 9: in there, it'll be a tap-in. It's like, but it's
- 13:55Speaker 9: just as good of an opportunity if.
- 13:57Speaker 5: You take the shot.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Just take the shot. What I liked best about the
- 14:03Speaker 2: first goal of the game.
- 14:04Speaker 9: We're watching highlights of the McKinnon fight, by the way.
- 14:09Speaker 9: Nate's nose is just busted to bits.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 14:13Speaker 9: I mean, just in general, over the years of broken
- 14:15Speaker 9: noses and stuff like that, he's starting to get that, like,
- 14:17Speaker 9: footer bridge.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Have you ever had a broken nose? I have not.
- 14:23Speaker 2: It sucks, number one. I had to have mine.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Repaired.
- 14:30Speaker 2: The whole, what do you call the thing in the middle?
- 14:32Speaker 2: The bridge of your nose. No, yeah, but what do
- 14:34Speaker 2: you call the thing? The septum.
- 14:35Speaker 6: Septum.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Mine got broken and crushed over. Had to have it
- 14:41Speaker 2: broken and then re-sewn. That sucked.
- 14:46Speaker 5: Like a real housewife. Getting a rhinoplasty? Know what it's called, rhinoplasty?
- 14:52Speaker 10: It's called RhinoShield. Never paint your nose again.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Real House Husbands of Parker?
- 14:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:56Speaker 2: That's great. Love Lone Tree. You know what? I'm doing that, dude.
- 15:00Speaker 2: I'm starting a podcast, Real House Husbands of Lone Tree. Nonetheless,
- 15:04Speaker 2: it sucks, but I'll tell you what. Uh, watching him go, dude, I,
- 15:09Speaker 2: it just, honestly, I've been around this game. I've been
- 15:12Speaker 2: in the league for 30 years. I, I love that
- 15:16Speaker 2: aspect of it.
- 15:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I love the fact that that aspect still exists.
- 15:21Speaker 9: So talk more about this as we go along. Jared
- 15:23Speaker 9: Bednar at nine o'clock this morning.
- 15:25Speaker 2: I've got some thoughts on Bo Nix that I need
- 15:27Speaker 2: to get out.
- 15:28Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:28Speaker 5: We're getting there next because.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Broncos fans stay tuned to this program because there's something
- 15:35Speaker 2: going on with this guy. There's something, something is happening
- 15:40Speaker 2: that I'm not very comfortable with.
- 15:42Speaker 5: So we'll get to that in just a couple of minutes.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Stick around.
- 15:45Speaker 5: All right.
- 15:46Speaker 2: So hold on a second.
- 15:47Speaker 5: Ian Furness is going to join us at 820.
- 15:49Speaker 9: He works up at the Seattle radio station.
- 15:52Speaker 5: He'll give us a preview on the Seahawks.
- 15:53Speaker 2: I swear to God.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Jared Bednar's at nine o'clock.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Can I talk to our listeners for a second, please?
- 15:57Speaker 5: Do you guys want to share on air what you
- 15:59Speaker 5: guys just said?
- 16:01Speaker 2: No, I don't. But, but so Vic is here. Hi, Vic. Hi.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Big accident on top of I-70 and C-470.
- 16:08Speaker 6: Be careful.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I hope that our
- 16:13Speaker 2: listeners get this program. I think they do. We're not
- 16:16Speaker 2: your average radio show. We're below average. Straw poll. Straw
- 16:21Speaker 2: poll me, please.
- 16:22Speaker 3: We're below average.
- 16:23Speaker 2: We're going to get to bonus. Yeah, what's happening?
- 16:25Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 16:27Speaker 2: We're getting to bonus, I promise you. But do people
- 16:31Speaker 2: get this program? Do they understand... I.
- 16:34Speaker 7: Guess if you list.
- 16:35Speaker 5: What's the straw poll?
- 16:37Speaker 2: When you give a straw poll, you should... Do you
- 16:39Speaker 2: get this program or do you not? because you guys say.
- 16:43Speaker 5: I don't get what's happening right now.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Well, to me, every day, let me explain.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Can you make it quick?
- 16:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying. If you just shut your hole, then yes.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Every day I come into this program, and every single day, Stephen,
- 16:55Speaker 2: you've got to admit it, when you came aboard, every
- 16:58Speaker 2: day is sort of an adventure. You don't know what
- 17:00Speaker 2: you're going to get, and it's all organic. There is
- 17:02Speaker 2: nothing scripted on this show. Everything is absolutely 1,000% organic.
- 17:07Speaker 2: But I laugh every day. So I hope that our
- 17:10Speaker 2: listeners and our viewers, I think that they get what
- 17:14Speaker 2: it's all about.
- 17:14Speaker 3: The problem is you can't tell them what you just
- 17:17Speaker 3: said during the break.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Yes.
- 17:18Speaker 3: That was the funniest crap I've heard in a while.
- 17:22Speaker 2: You can't do it. But you can go down the
- 17:24Speaker 2: street to the other guys and, you know, if the
- 17:26Speaker 2: right tackle, if his technique is just a little bit off, he's,
- 17:33Speaker 2: you know, screw you. I would hope that these people understand,
- 17:37Speaker 2: our listeners and our viewers understand what this program is
- 17:39Speaker 2: all about, because you guys make me laugh. And so
- 17:43Speaker 2: let's talk quarterbacks.
- 17:44Speaker 5: Okay, perfect.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Perfect.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Bo Nix yesterday spoke to the media.
- 17:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:51Speaker 5: And I've realized where my frustration lies.
- 17:57Speaker 9: Before I play this audio, here's what's happening with me,
- 18:01Speaker 9: is that when the Broncos win a game like they
- 18:04Speaker 9: won last week, where offense doesn't play great, but you
- 18:07Speaker 9: find a way to gut it out at the end,
- 18:09Speaker 9: get a dub. They're 3-2 right now throughout this incredibly
- 18:14Speaker 9: hard schedule to start the year. And I asked the
- 18:18Speaker 9: question after week four, when the Broncos were 2-2, I said,
- 18:22Speaker 9: there's the difference between a good 2-2 and a bad 2-2.
- 18:25Speaker 9: Some teams had a very bad 2-2, where, you know,
- 18:29Speaker 9: like Detroit, you're last in the league in defense.
- 18:32Speaker 5: That's a bad 2-2. The Broncos were good 2-2. Look
- 18:36Speaker 5: at the opponents they faced. If you're 2-2 through that stretch,
- 18:39Speaker 5: that's good.
- 18:40Speaker 9: Now you're 3-2 heading into week six with a chance
- 18:44Speaker 9: to stay either at 500 or above 500 by the
- 18:49Speaker 9: end of it.
- 18:50Speaker 5: So why am I so frustrated? Here's why.
- 18:53Speaker 9: The Broncos are a really good football team. And I
- 18:56Speaker 9: feel like they're leaving so much more.
- 18:58Speaker 2: On the bone. They're half a good football team. But no,
- 19:02Speaker 2: they're good.
- 19:04Speaker 9: They're really good on one side, and they're good enough
- 19:06Speaker 9: on the other. That's how it's been for the last year.
- 19:09Speaker 9: But you're leaving so much more. And I was listening
- 19:12Speaker 9: to Bo Nix yesterday.
- 19:13Speaker 3: That was one of the most... I watched the press conference.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Because the Broncos play him. I have not heard a
- 19:22Speaker 3: player at that position sort of offer all that insight
- 19:28Speaker 3: to what his brain is doing right now.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:30Speaker 3: And it was like he was on the couch. He's
- 19:33Speaker 3: on that couch with Dr. Melfi, and he is going
- 19:37Speaker 3: through it. And part of me is like, it's good
- 19:40Speaker 3: to get it out, right? It's good to get it out.
- 19:42Speaker 3: You're telling everybody what's happening inside that brain. But it
- 19:45Speaker 3: also proves to us what the problem is.
- 19:49Speaker 2: He is overanalyzing. everything.
- 19:51Speaker 3: For sure.
- 19:52Speaker 5: And here's the issue. This is a two-parter here.
- 19:55Speaker 9: But this is him finding the balance between, you know,
- 19:58Speaker 9: dumping a playoff or throwing the ball away or taking
- 20:01Speaker 9: a shot downfield.
- 20:02Speaker 11: That's honestly, really, and truly the biggest battle right now
- 20:04Speaker 11: is like– want to be aggressive, want to be aggressive,
- 20:07Speaker 11: want to be aggressive.
- 20:08Speaker 7: And then you see.
- 20:08Speaker 11: Stats and you're like, well, this team is causing the
- 20:10Speaker 11: most turnovers in the league. And then you're like, okay, well,
- 20:13Speaker 11: I can't put my team in a situation where I'm
- 20:15Speaker 11: turning the football over and putting our defense in a
- 20:16Speaker 11: bad spot, giving them a short field.
- 20:19Speaker 7: And at the end of the day, it's like, who cares?
- 20:22Speaker 7: You know, like, why would I go out there worried
- 20:24Speaker 7: about throwing an interception?
- 20:25Speaker 11: Why would I go out there trying to throw every
- 20:28Speaker 11: football 50 yards down the field?
- 20:30Speaker 7: Just play the play.
- 20:31Speaker 5: So here's what's funny about that.
- 20:33Speaker 3: It's almost like he's talking to himself.
- 20:34Speaker 6: Yes.
- 20:35Speaker 2: It's exactly, Vic, I had the exact same reaction.
- 20:38Speaker 3: The angel and the devil on the shoulders and they're
- 20:42Speaker 3: talking to themselves.
- 20:43Speaker 6: Yes.
- 20:43Speaker 3: And you're like, wait, is that a conversation within a conversation?
- 20:46Speaker 2: You ever drive in your car and just talk to
- 20:48Speaker 2: yourself a little bit? Yeah, I did today. Exactly right.
- 20:51Speaker 2: I swear to God, Brett, I had the exact same reaction.
- 20:55Speaker 2: It's like he's trying to talk himself through something.
- 20:57Speaker 3: The first part of that equation there, the first part
- 20:59Speaker 3: of that comment, you know, you see the stats and
- 21:01Speaker 3: this team forces turnovers. Who the hell's giving him those stats?
- 21:06Speaker 3: What should that matter on what you do with your offense?
- 21:08Speaker 5: You're watching film.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Okay. But you've already sort of pretzeled yourself.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I totally agree. I totally agree.
- 21:17Speaker 9: And part of my issue is, because you're so right,
- 21:20Speaker 9: it did feel like that he was speaking in a
- 21:24Speaker 9: therapeutic way of, well, you don't want to.
- 21:27Speaker 5: Go out and do this. Like, who cares? Who cares
- 21:30Speaker 5: if I go out and throw? It's like, who are
- 21:32Speaker 5: you talking to here?
- 21:34Speaker 9: You're talking to yourself. But the last thing he said
- 21:37Speaker 9: was just read the play, right? And he goes on
- 21:41Speaker 9: to say this.
- 21:41Speaker 7: If the play's there, hit it. If it's not there,
- 21:43Speaker 7: check it down, run, throw it away, punt.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Who cares?
- 21:47Speaker 11: That's the play that I was dealt, and I have
- 21:48Speaker 11: to do, just remind myself not to play hero ball.
- 21:53Speaker 7: It's just one play at a time. Do exactly what
- 21:55Speaker 7: I'm supposed to do. And who cares?
- 21:57Speaker 11: If the play causes me to throw an interception and
- 22:00Speaker 11: I forced it and that was there and I liked
- 22:02Speaker 11: what I saw, it may happen.
- 22:04Speaker 7: You know, it's going to happen. It's happened before. It
- 22:06Speaker 7: may happen again.
- 22:07Speaker 11: If it's not there, I'm not going to throw it
- 22:08Speaker 11: into a team meeting. I'm going to check the ball
- 22:10Speaker 11: down and we're going to move on. And that's just
- 22:12Speaker 11: the play that's given to me and I have to
- 22:14Speaker 11: continue to just do that.
- 22:16Speaker 9: So there's one problem I have with this, though. Taking
- 22:20Speaker 9: the play is exactly what you should be doing.
- 22:24Speaker 5: And sometimes.
- 22:25Speaker 9: The play that, the right play to make is to
- 22:29Speaker 9: throw it out of bounds and punt the football. Sometimes
- 22:32Speaker 9: that's the right play. My issue is, I'll give you
- 22:35Speaker 9: an example on one of these situations. The Broncos were
- 22:39Speaker 9: backed up near their own end zone.
- 22:41Speaker 5: It's third down. Nix takes a snap.
- 22:46Speaker 9: The Chargers were blitzing. He felt the pressure come from
- 22:49Speaker 9: the left side. Didn't go back and check to whether
- 22:52Speaker 9: it was picked up or not. just immediately bailed, ran
- 22:55Speaker 9: to the right side towards the sideline. Problem with that
- 22:58Speaker 9: play was no routes were run to the right side.
- 23:01Speaker 9: Everybody was flooding left. So his only option, the right
- 23:05Speaker 9: play at that time, was to throw the ball away
- 23:07Speaker 9: and punt. But if he saw that the blitz got
- 23:11Speaker 9: picked up and he stayed in the pocket.
- 23:13Speaker 3: What the hell's wrong with your.
- 23:14Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 23:16Speaker 9: If he saw that the blitz got picked up and
- 23:18Speaker 9: he stayed in the pocket, he would see there were
- 23:20Speaker 9: two guys that were open on the play.
- 23:22Speaker 2: That's the right play.
- 23:24Speaker 9: You forced yourself into throwing the ball out of bounds
- 23:27Speaker 9: being the right play. And that's the issue that I
- 23:30Speaker 9: have right now is there are right plays to be
- 23:33Speaker 9: made downfield. In fact, from all of the film study
- 23:36Speaker 9: stuff that people do on Bo Nix and all the
- 23:38Speaker 9: wide open guys that he's missing, think about this. If
- 23:42Speaker 9: he makes the right play, which is stepping up in
- 23:45Speaker 9: a clean pocket and making a throw, maybe Davis Webb
- 23:48Speaker 9: is still calling plays.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Everything's different. You're exactly right. And that's why I said,
- 23:53Speaker 3: even before the play calling turned hands, it's not the
- 23:56Speaker 3: play calling. Not the play calling. It's never been the
- 23:59Speaker 3: play calling. However, the change was made because I think
- 24:04Speaker 3: Sean Payton felt my voice will help him get through this.
- 24:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 24:08Speaker 3: That's why I think it was made.
- 24:09Speaker 2: You know, Vic, it feels like right now. Well, it
- 24:15Speaker 2: doesn't even feel. It really is. We are at a
- 24:18Speaker 2: real crossroads with this young man.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Big time.
- 24:21Speaker 2: A real quarterback crossroads. And he feels it. I think
- 24:27Speaker 2: we feel it. I think we know it. He needs
- 24:30Speaker 2: a very big week tomorrow night. He really does.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Moshe, listen, we always make these stupid golf analogies because
- 24:37Speaker 3: that's what we go to. That's the only thing that,
- 24:38Speaker 3: you know, the three of us really have in common.
- 24:40Speaker 3: People can relate to it. You've been there where your brain...
- 24:44Speaker 3: is wrought with all these ideas, and you've been watching YouTube,
- 24:49Speaker 3: and you've got people saying this and that, and suddenly
- 24:53Speaker 3: you cannot swing the club without 18 thoughts going through
- 24:56Speaker 3: your brain.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Yep.
- 24:58Speaker 3: That's what I feel he's going through right now.
- 25:00Speaker 5: He can't play that way.
- 25:01Speaker 3: He can't play that way. You've got too much thinking
- 25:04Speaker 3: going on and not enough doing. Your best play is
- 25:07Speaker 3: when you're not thinking.
- 25:07Speaker 7: And that's why he plays his best.
- 25:14Speaker 3: When they're down by 17. Set him forever. And you
- 25:17Speaker 3: could see the freedom.
- 25:18Speaker 2: You could see the weight off his shoulders.
- 25:20Speaker 3: You could see him just deal.
- 25:22Speaker 5: It's not thinking.
- 25:23Speaker 9: He's reacting to something he's done since he was five
- 25:26Speaker 9: years old.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Can I go to another level, though, Brett, please? And
- 25:30Speaker 2: that is, what is he being told? What has he
- 25:35Speaker 2: been told from the time he was drafted?
- 25:37Speaker 3: Do you think that's part of the confusion?
- 25:38Speaker 6: Yes.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Well, I really do. But listen, the thing is, I really,
- 25:43Speaker 2: really wish, Vic, that I could go back in time
- 25:47Speaker 2: with a young Drew Brees, just traded to New Orleans,
- 25:51Speaker 2: and a younger Sean Payton, and what those conversations were like.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Because once Drew Brees got dialed in, he was dialed
- 25:58Speaker 2: in for the rest of his career. Hall of Famer.
- 26:02Speaker 2: What did Sean tell him from day one? I don't
- 26:06Speaker 2: really know. I mean, I can gather. But right now,
- 26:09Speaker 2: what he just said, he's regurgitating. He's regurgitating about 87,000
- 26:14Speaker 2: meetings he's had with his coach.
- 26:17Speaker 3: He's showing us what is taking place. I thought that
- 26:22Speaker 3: press conference yesterday that he held was one of the
- 26:24Speaker 3: most revealing pressers I've ever heard from a quarterback. It
- 26:28Speaker 3: really was. I expected this. I expect it. I'm going
- 26:31Speaker 3: to be better.
- 26:32Speaker 2: We'll be fine.
- 26:32Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. I know.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:33Speaker 3: You know, real quick.
- 26:34Speaker 5: It'd be like dismissive. Yeah.
- 26:36Speaker 3: And it wasn't, it was, wow. We got to look
- 26:40Speaker 3: inside his soul.
- 26:41Speaker 2: And you know what? I appreciate it, Brett. I really do.
- 26:44Speaker 2: I appreciate him sort of bearing his soul because he
- 26:47Speaker 2: is probably cathartic for me. He needs this and he
- 26:49Speaker 2: needs a good performance.
- 26:51Speaker 5: So here's, what's funny.
- 26:55Speaker 9: I've thought this forever, but it's, it's more compounded here.
- 26:59Speaker 9: When you have a head coach who, who repeatedly says,
- 27:03Speaker 9: can't take sacks, can't turn the ball over. Can't take sacks,
- 27:06Speaker 9: you can't turn the ball over. I think naturally your
- 27:10Speaker 9: subconscious will go to that to try and do your
- 27:15Speaker 9: coach's bidding, which is these are the things that he
- 27:18Speaker 9: can't stand. I'm going to do my damnedest to make
- 27:20Speaker 9: sure I don't do those things.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Number one.
- 27:23Speaker 9: Number two, you're playing conservatively because you don't want to
- 27:28Speaker 9: turn the ball over. And you don't want to piss
- 27:30Speaker 9: your coach off.
- 27:32Speaker 5: And you're winning while you're doing it.
- 27:34Speaker 9: And number three is, if you do just throw the
- 27:37Speaker 9: ball away or take the check down on third down
- 27:39Speaker 9: and don't get the first and punt the ball, there's
- 27:41Speaker 9: a good chance your defense is probably going to.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Make the stop anyway.
- 27:44Speaker 9: He's not even forced to do it until it's the
- 27:49Speaker 9: fourth quarter and they're down a touchdown.
- 27:51Speaker 3: That's what's so confusing because he references playing hero ball
- 27:54Speaker 3: as if it's a bad thing. And yet, when he
- 27:56Speaker 3: has to play the hero is when he's at his best.
- 27:59Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 28:00Speaker 3: That's when he's at his best.
- 28:02Speaker 2: He really is. He really is at his best when
- 28:05Speaker 2: he has to be a hero.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Did you just hear what he said? I don't want
- 28:08Speaker 3: to play hero ball, but that's when you play your
- 28:12Speaker 3: best football. Can we hear some more? I think everything
- 28:15Speaker 3: he said yesterday was phenomenal. And it's a great look
- 28:20Speaker 3: into the psyche of the modern athlete. Because I think
- 28:24Speaker 3: a lot of them are getting this stuff from a
- 28:26Speaker 3: lot of different people. Listen, I mean, I don't know
- 28:29Speaker 3: what it was like in the 70s if you were
- 28:30Speaker 3: playing the quarterback position, but I don't know if they're
- 28:34Speaker 3: holding press conferences talking about stuff like this.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Can you imagine Terry Bradshaw or Ken Stable talking? I mean,
- 28:39Speaker 2: the game has changed so much. Even John Elway.
- 28:42Speaker 3: I don't think Len Dawson is going to sit there
- 28:44Speaker 3: with a Marlboro in his mouth and tell people about,
- 28:46Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to play hero ball. I
- 28:49Speaker 3: don't think that's ever going to happen.
- 28:51Speaker 6: Go to a history book.
- 28:52Speaker 2: I swear to God. I would love to see him
- 28:54Speaker 2: show up at the podium with a frigging Chesterfield non-filter. Yes.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I would love that.
- 29:00Speaker 9: Um, here's Bo a little bit more about narratives.
- 29:04Speaker 11: It's the same as when I'm, when I'm playing really good,
- 29:06Speaker 11: I think, um, you know, playing good and playing bad.
- 29:10Speaker 11: It's all, you know, it's a narrative. I think it's
- 29:12Speaker 11: honestly kind of something we, we make up. I don't think,
- 29:15Speaker 11: you know, necessarily I'm playing any different than what I'm
- 29:17Speaker 11: normally playing. It's just every once in a while, a
- 29:19Speaker 11: ball bounces way or something will happen this way. And,
- 29:23Speaker 11: We'll get a pressure on this look when we had
- 29:24Speaker 11: somebody open, I had to throw it away and I
- 29:26Speaker 11: wanted to hold on a little bit longer and the
- 29:27Speaker 11: guy was open and next thing you know, stat line
- 29:29Speaker 11: looks different.
- 29:30Speaker 7: We're talking about something completely different.
- 29:32Speaker 11: So I'm confident in my preparation, I'm confident in my coaching,
- 29:36Speaker 11: and I'm confident in our offense and the way we're
- 29:39Speaker 11: gonna structure game.
- 29:41Speaker 3: First of all, it's not a narrative. I'm not sure
- 29:44Speaker 3: if he understands the use of the word. It's a
- 29:46Speaker 3: results-oriented business, is it not?
- 29:49Speaker 6: It is.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Sports is a results-oriented business. Either you win or you lose.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Either you produce or you don't. The numbers dictate whether
- 29:56Speaker 3: or not it's a success. You could see it post-game.
- 30:00Speaker 3: What do the numbers say? What does the film say?
- 30:02Speaker 3: What do your eyes say?
- 30:05Speaker 5: Just the feel of the game.
- 30:08Speaker 3: A narrative would be, well, that throw shouldn't have been made.
- 30:12Speaker 3: It was too tight of a window. Or, no, that's
- 30:14Speaker 3: where the read was. That's not what's happening here. The
- 30:18Speaker 3: throw isn't made at all.
- 30:21Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 30:21Speaker 9: People are saying that this is bad offense because it's
- 30:24Speaker 9: bad offense right now.
- 30:25Speaker 2: That's it.
- 30:26Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting?
- 30:29Speaker 9: He said, I don't feel like I'm doing things all
- 30:31Speaker 9: that differently from last year.
- 30:34Speaker 5: He's not really wrong.
- 30:37Speaker 2: No, he's not.
- 30:39Speaker 5: He's not. And you would say, oh, yeah, well, you
- 30:43Speaker 5: changed play collars. You did that last year. They, at
- 30:48Speaker 5: the end of the year, made the switch only to
- 30:50Speaker 5: switch it back.
- 30:53Speaker 9: Now, what is different, and this is the problem I
- 30:59Speaker 9: think the Tennessee Titans face right now, when you have
- 31:02Speaker 9: bad results and statistically things are awful, you need to
- 31:08Speaker 9: be able to rely upon something I've done with Bo
- 31:11Speaker 9: in the past, which is Mo, she would make at
- 31:14Speaker 9: least three or four plays a game where you're like, okay,
- 31:17Speaker 9: well that, that is starting caliber franchise level quarterback play
- 31:23Speaker 9: right there. Like three or four plays a game that
- 31:26Speaker 9: there hasn't been a lot of that this year. How
- 31:30Speaker 9: many great plays we were five weeks in game six
- 31:33Speaker 9: is tomorrow. Give me the top three Bo Nix plays
- 31:36Speaker 9: of the year.
- 31:37Speaker 2: It's not, that's a, that's a very difficult task.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Bo to waddle in the Jacksonville game.
- 31:42Speaker 2: That was really good. Talking about the one down by
- 31:44Speaker 2: the goal line?
- 31:45Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:47Speaker 5: It shouldn't be this hard.
- 31:48Speaker 6: I know.
- 31:49Speaker 3: You know, we're going to hear more. We're going to
- 31:51Speaker 3: do more. I feel like this is one big psychology
- 31:55Speaker 3: lesson or something. But I thought one of the most
- 31:58Speaker 3: revealing things I heard yesterday was when Sean Payton said
- 32:02Speaker 3: he went through Bo's quotes after the game. Think about
- 32:06Speaker 3: that for a second. He was reading Bo's quotes to
- 32:09Speaker 3: get a read on what he was thinking. Your head coach...
- 32:14Speaker 3: is now reading the quotations of the quarterback to see
- 32:18Speaker 3: how he feels about certain things. There's a lot of
- 32:23Speaker 3: thinking going on.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Hey, man, I've got to wonder how much Peyton is
- 32:29Speaker 2: involved in that. I've got to wonder how much his
- 32:35Speaker 2: bedside manner is involved in all of this. And by
- 32:38Speaker 2: the way, Sean Peyton has a lot on the line
- 32:40Speaker 2: in this. I mean, he took this job. It's his
- 32:43Speaker 2: second career for him, essentially. There's probably a lot of pressure.
- 32:47Speaker 2: You've got brand-new owners and so on and so forth.
- 32:49Speaker 2: He picks this guy. This is my guy, the sixth
- 32:52Speaker 2: quarterback taken and the top 12 in that draft. But
- 32:55Speaker 2: I've got to wonder what his bedside manner has been
- 32:59Speaker 2: to his quarterback for the last two-plus years.
- 33:01Speaker 9: I've never said this before about a professional athlete, but
- 33:04Speaker 9: can somebody get Bo Nix a gummy?
- 33:07Speaker 5: Can somebody just get him to just chill, Dan? Turn
- 33:10Speaker 5: that brain off for a second. Just sit on the couch.
- 33:12Speaker 6: Who cares?
- 33:13Speaker 5: Eat some chips.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Like, relax. That's kind of funny.
- 33:18Speaker 9: Jared Bednar is going to join us at 9 o'clock
- 33:20Speaker 9: this morning. Denver playing in primetime. One viewing party just
- 33:23Speaker 9: isn't enough. Whether you're at Stoney's on Lincoln with Birdo
- 33:25Speaker 9: or No. 38 in Rhino with Raj, you'll be partying
- 33:27Speaker 9: with Altitude Sports Radio. Drink specials on Breck Brew, Jack Daniels, Hurradura.
- 33:33Speaker 9: Great prizes and two amazing atmospheres to watch Denver and Seattle.
- 33:36Speaker 9: We'll see you at Stoney's on Lincoln and No. 38
- 33:38Speaker 9: tomorrow night.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Whoa. So what you're saying is we are expanding out.
- 33:43Speaker 5: Double dipping.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Hold on a second. Raj at number 38. Double dipping.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Berto's is at Stoney's on Lincoln.
- 33:48Speaker 3: Correct. Oh, the other bow pass, the one-two waddle in
- 33:53Speaker 3: the corner of the end zone that went over the
- 33:54Speaker 3: guy's helmet that just barely brushed the helmet.
- 33:57Speaker 5: We're at two.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Yeah. I was thinking. He's had some good play.
- 34:00Speaker 6: I know.
- 34:01Speaker 3: I'm just.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Moj. You.
- 34:05Speaker 9: That Bills and Rams Monday Night Football game, you could
- 34:07Speaker 9: have picked 10 of those from either quarterback.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Why don't you sit there and clear your throat? That's
- 34:11Speaker 3: what you're good at.
- 34:14Speaker 2: It's raining outside and it's freezing cold.
- 34:17Speaker 5: Jared Bednar, 9 o'clock, stick around.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Don't stay out here and catch your death. Forget, when
- 34:25Speaker 2: was that?
- 34:26Speaker 5: When did Moshe say, don't catch your death?
- 34:28Speaker 3: When he was working outside the arena during the playoffs.
- 34:32Speaker 3: So like early playoffs, still snowing outside. Some beautiful lady
- 34:36Speaker 3: comes up to him. Remember, she's a little older. She's
- 34:39Speaker 3: like four feet tall. Yeah, and he made that remark.
- 34:43Speaker 5: Don't catch your death.
- 34:44Speaker 2: Don't stay out here, catch your death.
- 34:46Speaker 3: It is remarkable, though, in the rain, how people just
- 34:48Speaker 3: cannot suddenly drive. Moshe mentioned some lady veered into him
- 34:52Speaker 3: this morning, and he messed up the side of your tire.
- 34:56Speaker 6: Is that what happened?
- 34:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to go.
- 34:58Speaker 5: You fix it.
- 34:59Speaker 2: You fix it. So my poor car. Now my two
- 35:04Speaker 2: right sides have curb rash because this old lady in
- 35:06Speaker 2: the rain is not paying attention and just is coming
- 35:09Speaker 2: right at me. People are just brain dead, man. The
- 35:14Speaker 2: whole world is brain dead.
- 35:17Speaker 9: What do you guys think of this? Dion had his
- 35:20Speaker 9: pressure yesterday. It's always must watch. But he was asked
- 35:24Speaker 9: about the playbook. It's a long answer, but here you go.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Before the Texas Tech game, there was a report that
- 35:31Speaker 3: showed up online that a playbook from CU had leaked out.
- 35:35Speaker 6: So a whole playbook. So somebody left a whole playbook. Yes,
- 35:39Speaker 6: I didn't see that.
- 35:40Speaker 8: Or a script of several plays. Was it a whole
- 35:43Speaker 8: playbook of a script of several plays? I don't think
- 35:46Speaker 8: we have a whole playbook. I don't think we even
- 35:49Speaker 8: have a whole playbook. I think week to week they
- 35:52Speaker 8: get a script. I thought we scored on the first drive.
- 35:57Speaker 6: You did. So what's the purpose of the question?
- 36:01Speaker 5: The purpose is your playbook got left behind somewhere.
- 36:04Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't a playbook. You had some sheets that
- 36:06Speaker 3: got left behind.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Okay. All right. I'll tell you what.
- 36:11Speaker 5: Broncos play against the Seahawks. If a Seahawks fan finds
- 36:15Speaker 5: scripted plays.
- 36:16Speaker 9: At a hotel bar somewhere, it's probably going to be
- 36:19Speaker 9: a big deal.
- 36:19Speaker 3: I think he's starting to get defensive. I mean, all right.
- 36:22Speaker 3: What answer would you want? Okay, yeah, that shouldn't happen.
- 36:25Speaker 3: We'll address it.
- 36:26Speaker 6: It's been addressed.
- 36:27Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if you were going to be looking
- 36:29Speaker 3: into that any further.
- 36:30Speaker 6: Why would we? It's over.
- 36:32Speaker 8: Game's over. Why would we do that? We probably know
- 36:36Speaker 8: a lot more than you think we do, but a
- 36:38Speaker 8: whole playbook?
- 36:39Speaker 6: Come on, man. At least the script.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I mean, it matched up with the script.
- 36:43Speaker 8: That happens sometimes. That happens sometimes. I've seen that, heard
- 36:47Speaker 8: of that on the pro level as well as the
- 36:49Speaker 8: collegiate level, but I think we scored on the first drive,
- 36:52Speaker 8: so I guess it didn't work.
- 36:54Speaker 3: He's being defensive. He makes points, though. I mean, it
- 36:56Speaker 3: didn't work, but he's being defensive. He doesn't want people
- 37:00Speaker 3: thinking that he doesn't have control of the situation.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:03Speaker 5: He has a last clip. I won't play it, but
- 37:05Speaker 5: it's a decent point.
- 37:07Speaker 9: He goes, if you found that, would you think you're
- 37:09Speaker 9: being tricked if you're the opposing coach? Like, do you
- 37:12Speaker 9: think it's a dummy script like Mike Leach famously did
- 37:15Speaker 9: back in the day?
- 37:15Speaker 2: Okay. But the fact of the matter is, though, is
- 37:18Speaker 2: that it's.
- 37:19Speaker 9: But it wasn't a trick because it followed it to
- 37:21Speaker 9: a T.
- 37:22Speaker 2: It's an irresponsible thing to do. So what you do
- 37:26Speaker 2: as a coach, you say, you know what? That was
- 37:28Speaker 2: a screw up. You just, why doesn't any, you know what?
- 37:30Speaker 2: You know what? Okay, I'm going to get at, this
- 37:33Speaker 2: is the day. This Wednesday is the day. Hump day,
- 37:35Speaker 2: rainy day, Wednesday, old ladies pushing you off the road.
- 37:38Speaker 2: This is the day. Old men backing into you going,
- 37:42Speaker 2: you fix it.
- 37:43Speaker 5: You fix it.
- 37:43Speaker 2: This is the frigging day.
- 37:46Speaker 10: Well, the good news is now anytime CU has any struggles,
- 37:49Speaker 10: like I have this drop stashed away.
- 37:51Speaker 6: I don't think we have a whole playbook.
- 37:53Speaker 10: Hey, is throwing a zero-yard pick six, is that in
- 37:56Speaker 10: your playbook, Dion?
- 37:57Speaker 6: I don't think we have a whole playbook. Oh, God.
- 38:00Speaker 5: There's one more, Nelly. I just sent it to you.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Let me explain, though. Why doesn't anybody own anything anymore?
- 38:06Speaker 2: Why is it so hard to own something, Vic? I
- 38:10Speaker 2: screwed up. That shouldn't have happened.
- 38:13Speaker 9: Because you fix it is a lot more fun to say.
- 38:16Speaker 2: I'm being dead serious here. Why don't people... Listen, everybody
- 38:22Speaker 2: Fs up, okay? In one capacity or another. Just own it.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Why doesn't anybody own anything anymore?
- 38:31Speaker 3: I have the answer.
- 38:32Speaker 2: It's much easier to gaslight people than own it?
- 38:34Speaker 3: I have the answer.
- 38:35Speaker 2: What?
- 38:35Speaker 3: For example, the morning that Mosher was caught cheating, looking
- 38:39Speaker 3: at his computer during trivia, and you would not own it.
- 38:43Speaker 5: Video proof.
- 38:44Speaker 3: You would not own it. Raj saw it. We have
- 38:47Speaker 3: video proof of it, and you would not own it.
- 38:50Speaker 5: Why didn't you?
- 38:50Speaker 2: I was already going. I was going off. Oh, my God.
- 38:54Speaker 2: You know what? I explained myself that day. Society.
- 38:57Speaker 6: Okay. See?
- 38:58Speaker 3: Society.
- 38:59Speaker 5: You can't blame something you're a part of.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Society.
- 39:04Speaker 2: If I screw up, I absolutely own it. You got
- 39:09Speaker 2: caught red-handed. I did not.
- 39:12Speaker 3: How much, Mosher, when you're- No jury would convict me,
- 39:15Speaker 3: and you know that. My favorite is- Every jury would.
- 39:18Speaker 3: Now my kid is blaming me for everything. My kid
- 39:21Speaker 3: was- Well, she's applying for the study abroad stuff, and
- 39:25Speaker 3: she's not making the- you know, it's your fault.
- 39:27Speaker 6: You didn't get this.
- 39:28Speaker 3: It's your fault. Everything. So you just accept it. But
- 39:30Speaker 3: it's a blame game. And you just accept the blame game.
- 39:33Speaker 2: It would be very easy for him to go to
- 39:34Speaker 2: the podium and say, you know what? That shouldn't happen.
- 39:38Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:38Speaker 3: This is the video proof. This is the video proof.
- 39:43Speaker 3: The Broncos depth chart. What were we doing that day?
- 39:45Speaker 5: We were going through like backup kick returners and whatever.
- 39:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:49Speaker 3: And Mosier has the depth.
- 39:51Speaker 2: That is a victim of circumstance, and you know it.
- 39:54Speaker 2: All right.
- 39:55Speaker 5: Here's another clip.
- 39:56Speaker 3: He's still not owning it.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Here's another.
- 39:58Speaker 5: Just own it.
- 39:58Speaker 2: I will own it.
- 39:59Speaker 6: Own it. Oh, my God.
- 40:01Speaker 5: Here's another clip from Dion.
- 40:02Speaker 6: Okay.
- 40:02Speaker 9: Dion talking about his quarterback situation. And I just want
- 40:09Speaker 9: you to put this answer side by side with two
- 40:11Speaker 9: weeks ago when the game ended.
- 40:13Speaker 5: And what did he say? We got one problem.
- 40:16Speaker 9: You guys know what it is. We all know what
- 40:19Speaker 9: it is. He just never said quarterback, which I was like, dude,
- 40:22Speaker 9: just say it then. But it was funny to me
- 40:24Speaker 9: that he... I thought it was entirely unfair to Isaac Wilson,
- 40:28Speaker 9: who was brought in in his first start at CU
- 40:32Speaker 9: and asked to throw the ball 50 times and run
- 40:33Speaker 9: it 20 times, and he was the problem in the game.
- 40:36Speaker 5: That seems like a bad recipe.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Speaking of a psychological disaster, that might be fun for
- 40:40Speaker 3: him this week. Coach thinks I'm the reason we suck,
- 40:42Speaker 3: and I'm the quarterback again. Well, now he was asked
- 40:46Speaker 3: about Isaac Wilson, and he said... So.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Far in practice this week that maybe.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Shows you that he's up to the task.
- 40:53Speaker 8: Isaac is always up to the task. This ain't no
- 40:55Speaker 8: different week for Isaac. He just broke down the huddle.
- 40:57Speaker 8: We had him breaking down, and it was some profanity
- 41:00Speaker 8: laced in the huddle. I heard that as I was
- 41:02Speaker 8: walking out to meet you guys. But Isaac is the
- 41:06Speaker 8: same Isaac, man. He don't flinch. He don't place blame.
- 41:11Speaker 8: He is what he is.
- 41:14Speaker 9: He doesn't place blame, but you put the blame squarely
- 41:17Speaker 9: on him the last time you guys played.
- 41:20Speaker 5: It is weird to me. That entire thing is weird.
- 41:25Speaker 6: That....
- 41:27Speaker 9: It didn't sit right with me when it initially was
- 41:29Speaker 9: said that, hey, we know what the problem is. It's
- 41:32Speaker 9: the quarterback position. Then it's like, well, there's some other
- 41:35Speaker 9: stuff that happens during that game.
- 41:37Speaker 5: Some other stuff.
- 41:39Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 41:40Speaker 3: I think their schedule... Again, go look at their schedule.
- 41:45Speaker 3: It is going to be some tough sledding. It's going
- 41:47Speaker 3: to be some difficult... Post-game press conferences, and it starts
- 41:52Speaker 3: this week with Utah. Now, the Buffs had two weeks
- 41:55Speaker 3: to prepare for this game. Let's see what they will do.
- 41:59Speaker 3: They need to get off to a hot start. Of course,
- 42:01Speaker 3: they did that in their last game.
- 42:02Speaker 6: It didn't work.
- 42:04Speaker 3: But whatever they did in that opening series last game
- 42:07Speaker 3: that was scripted, that they found the scripts to, you're
- 42:10Speaker 3: going to have to play that way. But, Vic, you're
- 42:11Speaker 3: going to have to be deceptive, right?
- 42:13Speaker 6: Let's do drills that say it won't rain.
- 42:15Speaker 2: But that was it. Once they scored that touchdown, they
- 42:18Speaker 2: didn't do anything else the entire contest.
- 42:19Speaker 3: Well, because they got predictable after that. That first drive,
- 42:22Speaker 3: do you remember how crazy that was?
- 42:24Speaker 5: There was like two double reverses.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Listen, every team in every conference– pulls off something at
- 42:34Speaker 2: some point. Do they not, Brett? Yeah. I mean, Iowa
- 42:38Speaker 2: State welcomes, let's just say back in the day in
- 42:41Speaker 2: the old Big 12, Iowa State welcomes in Nebraska and
- 42:44Speaker 2: they pull off a win somehow.
- 42:46Speaker 8: Right.
- 42:46Speaker 9: Well, they had Seneca Wallace at quarterback and he played
- 42:49Speaker 9: great or whatever.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Right, right. You know, Vandy upsets somebody. Kentucky, which is
- 42:56Speaker 2: actually pretty good now. South Carolina went down to Florida
- 42:58Speaker 2: and beat the snot out of the Gators.
- 43:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Last week. Why can't you at home, Saturday night in Boulder, Colorado,
- 43:05Speaker 2: welcome in a number 11 Utah team, which is very good,
- 43:08Speaker 2: and pull off an upset?
- 43:10Speaker 6: I don't think we have a whole playbook.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Why is that such a hard ask? Once every decade,
- 43:18Speaker 2: pull off a kick-ass upset. Why is that such a
- 43:21Speaker 2: bad thing to ask?
- 43:23Speaker 5: Honestly?
- 43:24Speaker 2: And the better question is, why is that not fulfilled?
- 43:27Speaker 6: Honestly?
- 43:28Speaker 2: Why? Honestly?
- 43:30Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 43:30Speaker 9: Because they aren't that talented.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:34Speaker 5: And I don't think that the coaching can make up
- 43:35Speaker 5: for the lack of talent.
- 43:37Speaker 2: That's why.
- 43:38Speaker 6: Well, listen.
- 43:41Speaker 5: I'm just being honest with you. How does that happen?
- 43:44Speaker 9: A coach draws up a good game plan. Again, take
- 43:48Speaker 9: this into account, guys. That Texas Tech-Colorado game, you were
- 43:52Speaker 9: up 7-3 at half.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Remember?
- 43:54Speaker 9: 7-3 at halftime. You have Isaac Wilson making his first
- 43:59Speaker 9: start for you.
- 44:01Speaker 5: They didn't run the football. Not with the running backs.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Can I explain something?
- 44:06Speaker 9: Michael Welch had two carries for five yards in that game.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I just looked it up. The biggest upsets Vanderbilt has
- 44:14Speaker 2: ever had 2024, October 5th. They play number one Alabama.
- 44:20Speaker 2: They're a 24-point dog, and they win. 2013, they beat
- 44:26Speaker 2: in Nashville. They beat Georgia. Beat up Auburn in 2008.
- 44:33Speaker 2: I mean, why can't you just pull off one of
- 44:36Speaker 2: these upsets? Here comes Utah. Big, bad Utah, and they
- 44:39Speaker 2: are a very good team. Why can't you, in front
- 44:42Speaker 2: of a sold-out crowd in Boulder... When my girl is
- 44:45Speaker 2: going to take off running like crazy because she's an
- 44:47Speaker 2: awesome buffalo, bison, whatever the hell you want to call her,
- 44:52Speaker 2: why can't you pull off just an upset and say,
- 44:54Speaker 2: you know what, that's very satisfying. Just give me something.
- 44:58Speaker 2: When was the last big Buffs upset at home? Well,
- 45:03Speaker 2: I was there the year they beat Nebraska with that quarterback.
- 45:07Speaker 2: You were partying in the lot and you said, these
- 45:09Speaker 2: aren't my people. You remember that? Was that 2019? Was
- 45:12Speaker 2: that a big upset?
- 45:13Speaker 3: I remember when they beat Georgia at home.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Well, that Nebraska, well, the Nebraska game when, what's his face?
- 45:21Speaker 2: The running, Chris, Chris Brown? Ran for five touchdowns. Dude,
- 45:27Speaker 2: that was way back.
- 45:28Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.
- 45:29Speaker 2: That was way back.
- 45:30Speaker 3: You're talking, you're going Bobby Purify, Chris Brown, Bobby Pesceveno days.
- 45:34Speaker 3: That was way back. I'm talking about over the last
- 45:36Speaker 3: 10 years. I'm talking about the biggest upset at home
- 45:39Speaker 3: over the last 10 years. Even the Prime's biggest upset
- 45:43Speaker 3: was at TCU.
- 45:45Speaker 2: That was a good win.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Correct?
- 45:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:46Speaker 3: That was the biggest upset.
- 45:48Speaker 2: That was the opener.
- 45:49Speaker 3: Not at home.
- 45:51Speaker 2: That was the year after they played in the National
- 45:54Speaker 2: Championship game.
- 45:54Speaker 3: I'm talking about sitting at home and beating a team
- 45:57Speaker 3: like you just expressed. A team that comes in two
- 45:59Speaker 3: touchdown favorite and.
- 46:01Speaker 2: You beat them.
- 46:02Speaker 6: By the way.
