- 0:21Speaker 2: latest done Jonathan Cooper, Vick Lombardi, Mark Moser in This morning.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Moses, are you okay?
- 0:28Speaker 4: I think I think I am. Yeah, Vic, every once
- 0:31Speaker 4: in a great while. I don't know if you ever
- 0:32Speaker 4: have this, or if anybody else, I'm sure they do,
- 0:35Speaker 4: but I my blood sugar went crash hard. I could
- 0:39Speaker 4: feel it. Have you ever had that? We? I mean
- 0:42Speaker 4: I've had it, so I know exactly, I know exactly
- 0:44Speaker 4: what's happening and when it's coming.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah, can I can I say this respectfully with that
- 0:49Speaker 2: you popping off? Your blood sugar might spike on occasion
- 0:54Speaker 2: because you're prone to eat an entire package of many
- 0:57Speaker 2: donuts in ten seconds and gulp it down with the dip,
- 1:02Speaker 2: and that happens often, which could cause some bodily issues.
- 1:08Speaker 5: Could Yeah.
- 1:08Speaker 4: I went inside, I grabbed the twigs, so I scarfed
- 1:13Speaker 4: that down and just you know, you still doing this
- 1:16Speaker 4: a little bit. But yeah, when it happens. It's it's
- 1:19Speaker 4: not fun. It's happened to me. I mean, I've only
- 1:22Speaker 4: it doesn't even really matter, but you can feel it coming.
- 1:25Speaker 4: You know, a lot of people, a lot of people
- 1:27Speaker 4: have been there. But I'm doing good.
- 1:29Speaker 5: Thank god. Connoris here.
- 1:30Speaker 4: He's filming the show with me and you guys apparently
- 1:32Speaker 4: got to talk a little soccer when I was gone,
- 1:34Speaker 4: So that's good. Red cards and yellow cards and drag
- 1:36Speaker 4: your guys down and all that kind of thing.
- 1:37Speaker 3: It was a total bonus.
- 1:38Speaker 5: I know.
- 1:39Speaker 2: He never did explainake an me why he felt that
- 1:41Speaker 2: that deserved a red card in the Mexico South Africa.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Well, he's a referee, you know, I talk about.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: It looks like Jonathan Cooper's gonna need a referee because
- 1:50Speaker 2: the news coming out of Broncos HQ is not good.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Mike Cliss had the story first from nine News, and
- 1:58Speaker 2: just last week he and his girlfriend, both of them
- 2:02Speaker 2: were charged counts of domestic violence. Well back at it again,
- 2:08Speaker 2: because Jonathan Cooper was arrested last night ten o'clock by
- 2:12Speaker 2: Parker Police, booked in the Douglas County jail, where he
- 2:15Speaker 2: is right now. He's in jail right now and he's
- 2:17Speaker 2: held on four charges stemming from violating the protection order
- 2:22Speaker 2: against him. So whatever beef they went through the first
- 2:26Speaker 2: time and it was supposedly settled, it ain't settled. It's
- 2:30Speaker 2: gotten worse, and the Broncos are in one now. They
- 2:33Speaker 2: got to make a decision.
- 2:37Speaker 5: This is bad, Yeah, it really is.
- 2:40Speaker 4: You know, when I think about it, Vic, looking back
- 2:43Speaker 4: on the original situation last week, when it's two thirty
- 2:46Speaker 4: in the morning and people are getting in an altercation
- 2:49Speaker 4: of a man and a woman, you can kind of
- 2:52Speaker 4: you can kind of go down the path and try
- 2:54Speaker 4: to understand, all right, what's involved in this and why
- 2:57Speaker 4: is it involved and it's two thirty in the morning,
- 2:59Speaker 4: and so on and so forth, and things can get
- 3:01Speaker 4: out of control, and Okay, it happens.
- 3:06Speaker 5: I might saying it happens, but that happened.
- 3:09Speaker 4: And then okay, level heads take over, separate, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 4: you stay there, you stay there. But a week later
- 3:17Speaker 4: to then violate everything that came out of that last
- 3:21Speaker 4: week and how to be booked again and be sitting
- 3:24Speaker 4: in the pokey as we speak. It's not just hey man,
- 3:28Speaker 4: we had a bad night. It was really bad. He
- 3:30Speaker 4: got out of control. I can't believe it, you know,
- 3:32Speaker 4: so on and so forth. Now it's hey, now you've
- 3:35Speaker 4: got a repeat here, Vick. You've got an habitual situation
- 3:39Speaker 4: and that's just something you cannot explain itway.
- 3:41Speaker 5: You can't.
- 3:42Speaker 4: The Broncos can try to do it if they want
- 3:44Speaker 4: to keep him or support him as a human being.
- 3:48Speaker 4: But this is now, this is this is big because
- 3:50Speaker 4: this is twice in the span of a week.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I hate these kind of stories because if you start
- 3:55Speaker 2: talking football again, it sort of minimizes the importance of
- 3:59Speaker 2: the story. And that's a big d light. I don't
- 4:01Speaker 2: want to minimize the story whatsoever. But when you look
- 4:05Speaker 2: at the football perspective and Jonathan Cooper, what he means
- 4:08Speaker 2: to this team, right, the reason why this defense has
- 4:11Speaker 2: been so effective, there's many reasons, but you have the bookends.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You got you got the bookends, you got Benito, you
- 4:17Speaker 2: got Cooper, and that pressure from both sides allows them
- 4:20Speaker 2: both to thrive. And now you have one of those
- 4:23Speaker 2: bookends who's currently in jail and he's facing some very
- 4:27Speaker 2: serious charges, and the Broncos have some decisions to make,
- 4:31Speaker 2: and they've got plenty of time to make those decisions.
- 4:35Speaker 2: But an area of strength, an area of so much
- 4:38Speaker 2: power for this team is suddenly an area that as
- 4:43Speaker 2: a hole in it.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Yeah, and that hot about that.
- 4:46Speaker 4: And not only that, but again, when we're talking just
- 4:49Speaker 4: the football side of things, you know, the loss of
- 4:51Speaker 4: JFM and what he did in the middle to tie
- 4:55Speaker 4: people up, to allow those guys to maybe have, you know,
- 4:59Speaker 4: plenty of one on one situations where they could work
- 5:01Speaker 4: their craft. That was already gonna be a question mark
- 5:05Speaker 4: for me. And can the rookie fill in get you know,
- 5:07Speaker 4: oasri Riki? What's his story? Is he gonna be able
- 5:10Speaker 4: to to take the majority of those snaps? And now
- 5:13Speaker 4: you're talking just simply from a football standpoint, Vica, Well,
- 5:17Speaker 4: let's let's put it this way. Personnel wise, I don't
- 5:20Speaker 4: know that this guy can stay on the team. I
- 5:22Speaker 4: mean one one thing, you can maybe explain it away,
- 5:27Speaker 4: or you can you know, try to offer that person
- 5:29Speaker 4: help and so on.
- 5:30Speaker 5: But you can't get re popped in a week. You
- 5:32Speaker 5: can't do it. You can't.
- 5:33Speaker 4: You can't blow up every thing that you did in
- 5:37Speaker 4: a right way following the incident last week. You can't
- 5:39Speaker 4: blow it all up in one night. And end up
- 5:41Speaker 4: in the poke.
- 5:41Speaker 5: Again.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I wouldn't want that person on my football team or
- 5:44Speaker 4: my hockey club, or my basketball team or whatever. And
- 5:47Speaker 4: so the Broncos are gonna once they deal with the
- 5:50Speaker 4: human aspect of it, they're gonna have to deal with
- 5:51Speaker 4: the football side of it too.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Got some texts already coming in the shot Mazda text
- 5:58Speaker 2: line and a lot of you obviously that you feel
- 6:01Speaker 2: he should be released. There's three or four text saying
- 6:04Speaker 2: release him now. That that's not going to happen. He's
- 6:07Speaker 2: gonna get his due process. They're gonna talk about it,
- 6:09Speaker 2: they're gonna think it through. He's not going to be
- 6:11Speaker 2: released right away. I'd be shocked if it.
- 6:13Speaker 6: Went that fast.
- 6:16Speaker 2: But the NFL, the NFL goes through this often in
- 6:20Speaker 2: the offseason. Most you know this and I know this.
- 6:23Speaker 2: The most dangerous part of the calendar year is idle
- 6:28Speaker 2: time in the offseason. And that's when coaches sit at
- 6:32Speaker 2: home and just hope. That's when coaches sit at home
- 6:35Speaker 2: and cross their fingers and go, oh God, please stay
- 6:39Speaker 2: off the please please.
- 6:40Speaker 5: And there's but there's so many players. Bick is the thing.
- 6:43Speaker 4: I mean, you're not talking about just the fifty three.
- 6:45Speaker 4: You're talking about free agents and practice squad guys. I
- 6:49Speaker 4: mean you can throughout the entire league. There are just
- 6:51Speaker 4: so many players, so there's so much more opportunity to
- 6:55Speaker 4: have something happen in a bad way.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Right, It just just.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Because of the volume of it all. What did a
- 7:02Speaker 4: legies say. It's that it's that time between the last
- 7:05Speaker 4: mini camp and training camp when guys scatter. Typically would
- 7:09Speaker 4: scatter in the past, and maybe and maybe now they
- 7:12Speaker 4: continue to work out. The bodies are fine two and
- 7:14Speaker 4: instruments and so on. But guys used to scatter for
- 7:16Speaker 4: a month and the coaches would be like, oh God, please,
- 7:20Speaker 4: please please.
- 7:21Speaker 2: It's one reason why Sean Payton purposely holds his camps,
- 7:24Speaker 2: his mini camps so late in the schedule. Yeah, it's
- 7:28Speaker 2: one of the reasons, to be honest with you, he
- 7:29Speaker 2: doesn't want that huge gap between the camp and training
- 7:33Speaker 2: camp where things can.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Just fall off.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I don't know how you avoid this one, So just
- 7:39Speaker 2: keep note. The Broncos is gonna have to keep a
- 7:41Speaker 2: very close watch. I don't know where it goes. These
- 7:44Speaker 2: are serious charges. The dude is sitting in jail set
- 7:48Speaker 2: to meet a judge this morning.
- 7:50Speaker 3: So we'll give you the updates as they come in. Hey,
- 7:53Speaker 3: I went out to Broncos practice yesterday.
- 7:55Speaker 2: And you know, Mose, you're right as you're watching OTAs
- 8:00Speaker 2: really not learning that much. I'm learning that the Broncos
- 8:03Speaker 2: running backs are all my size, but much larger. And hey, hey,
- 8:07Speaker 2: what's up JML John Michael Lyles in the house.
- 8:09Speaker 5: He can't hear you, but he's in the house. Yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 5: he's filming today too.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I've learned that bow Knicks did throw a couple of footballs,
- 8:17Speaker 2: but not with the starters. He's still not there yet.
- 8:21Speaker 2: And I also learned that Davis Webb will indeed call
- 8:25Speaker 2: the shots as the offensive coordinator. Now is the leash off?
- 8:30Speaker 2: Is this Davis Webb's offense entirely? Well, it looked like
- 8:34Speaker 2: the Sean Payton offense. Davis was asked these questions today.
- 8:39Speaker 7: That was one reason why I wanted to be here.
- 8:41Speaker 7: That's what Sean here. I trust him. You trust to
- 8:44Speaker 7: be you beat the very similar And now, how what's
- 8:47Speaker 7: the game I've played? It's the same offense for the
- 8:49Speaker 7: most part. The little tweek's here and there.
- 8:51Speaker 8: But this is a shot a coach football team shot
- 8:54Speaker 8: eight offensive philosophy. Where's gonna grow with our QB and
- 8:57Speaker 8: our skilled players and our offensive live like the one
- 8:59Speaker 8: of the best guards in football, got Luke Watberg, the
- 9:02Speaker 8: smartest center I've been around.
- 9:03Speaker 7: We got left tack and they can ask pro the
- 9:05Speaker 7: guy rights.
- 9:05Speaker 9: I don't do it all.
- 9:06Speaker 6: So this is this is.
- 9:08Speaker 7: A fun office to get part of the most attractive things.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Didn't know Sean well, let him be known most there's
- 9:14Speaker 2: no way that Sean Payton hands the keys over to
- 9:18Speaker 2: Davis Webb unless he knows full well that Davis Webb is.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Going to run what he wants him to run.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Well, of course, I mean he's what he said is
- 9:26Speaker 4: absolutely what we've known. It's still Sean Payton's offense. It's
- 9:31Speaker 4: still Sean Payton's philosophy, it's still Sean Payton's game plan.
- 9:35Speaker 4: It's still Sean Payton's way or the highway.
- 9:37Speaker 5: That's what it is. What you've done is you've.
- 9:40Speaker 4: Allowed one of your underlings a little bit more, a
- 9:44Speaker 4: little bit more responsibility, and we'll see.
- 9:47Speaker 5: I thought that that, Leggy.
- 9:49Speaker 4: I thought it was very interesting because when we had
- 9:51Speaker 4: him on yesterday, he intimated that, Okay, this is the
- 9:55Speaker 4: way things are gonna start, Yeah, but I mean are
- 9:57Speaker 4: they going to stay that way?
- 9:58Speaker 5: And in Game one?
- 10:00Speaker 4: You don't think that Peyton is gonna have an influence
- 10:02Speaker 4: over Davis. I mean, series in and series out. Of
- 10:05Speaker 4: course he is. While he's calling the plays, it's still
- 10:10Speaker 4: all Sean Payton's show.
- 10:12Speaker 5: And he just got a brand new five year deal
- 10:14Speaker 5: to prove it.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I think what you've changed by going to a o
- 10:18Speaker 2: c that is not the head coach is you've changed.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Somewhat the predictability the offense.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Right, like certain play calls in certain situations that opposing
- 10:28Speaker 2: coaches are used to seeing Sean Payton run.
- 10:30Speaker 3: When you watch tape.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So you put somebody else in charge of the play calls,
- 10:33Speaker 2: and it changes the predictable nature of those play calls. Oh,
- 10:37Speaker 2: this is Davis web Now, it's not Sean Payton. He
- 10:39Speaker 2: could go the opposite direction with this play. So I
- 10:42Speaker 2: think that the offense doesn't change at all. I think
- 10:45Speaker 2: it's the same damn offense. But the predictability the play
- 10:48Speaker 2: calling changes.
- 10:48Speaker 4: It has to be no, I would yeah, I would
- 10:50Speaker 4: agree with that too, and we'll see how effective it is.
- 10:53Speaker 4: There's also I mean, you don't just look I think
- 10:56Speaker 4: Davis Webb is a smart guy. I mean clearly, to
- 10:59Speaker 4: be given this responsibility from a guy like Sean Payton,
- 11:02Speaker 4: who's basically the you know, total control freak, is.
- 11:08Speaker 5: A big deal.
- 11:09Speaker 4: That being said, there are nuances to calling games in
- 11:13Speaker 4: the National Football League, and the best they usually get
- 11:16Speaker 4: to be the best over time.
- 11:18Speaker 5: They don't just walk in.
- 11:20Speaker 4: Start calling plays and calling games and they're the best.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Right So there's gonna be some nuance that goes along,
- 11:27Speaker 4: and there's gonna be learning on the job for him
- 11:29Speaker 4: as it goes along. And you're right, the unpredictability might
- 11:32Speaker 4: be a big thing when you're playing the Chiefs who
- 11:34Speaker 4: know you so well, the Chargers who know you so well.
- 11:37Speaker 4: But at the same time, things that were predictable but worked,
- 11:42Speaker 4: maybe you get away from that at times and then
- 11:44Speaker 4: it doesn't work and now you've you've gotta you've got
- 11:47Speaker 4: to get back to the drawing board a little bit.
- 11:49Speaker 5: So that's all just growing pains. I'm expecting it.
- 11:51Speaker 4: I'm not gonna freak out by it, but I'm expecting
- 11:53Speaker 4: it in some capacity.
- 11:55Speaker 2: All right, Nelly, Again, the breaking news is regarding Jonathan
- 11:59Speaker 2: Cooper yesterday day practice, and obviously this is before all
- 12:02Speaker 2: the latest news broke. Sean Payton was asked about Jonathan
- 12:06Speaker 2: Cooper in that situation because it it started last.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Week, right it it.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Sparked again last night. But in case you're wondering, cut
- 12:17Speaker 2: five Jonathan Jonathan Cooper got into it with his girlfriend
- 12:22Speaker 2: a week ago and Sean Payton knew about it. Then
- 12:25Speaker 2: here's what he had to say yesterday practice.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this.
- 12:28Speaker 10: I think the league has done a good job of
- 12:30Speaker 10: kind of coming in and really taking over that responsibility.
- 12:37Speaker 10: We had a long visit with Coop and and now
- 12:41Speaker 10: the process plays out, and the league obviously will be
- 12:46Speaker 10: very much involved in that. We'll stay abreast, but much
- 12:50Speaker 10: like you all and I yeah, I think that that's
- 12:55Speaker 10: where it's at, and you know, we just go from there.
- 13:00Speaker 4: So we're not can we can we just one day
- 13:02Speaker 4: have a press conference where somebody's not backing up a
- 13:04Speaker 4: dump truck? Just one, I mean just one, dude. That
- 13:07Speaker 4: training camp it's the same damn thing to just one
- 13:10Speaker 4: day where you're not getting a freaking garbage truck.
- 13:13Speaker 5: Alright, sorry?
- 13:13Speaker 2: Got The Broncos released a statement moments ago, we are
- 13:17Speaker 2: disappointed to learn of Jonathan Cooper's arrest on Thursday.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Continue to review this matter.
- 13:22Speaker 2: But from the sound of what Sean Payton just said there,
- 13:26Speaker 2: it sounds like a very hands off approach that the
- 13:29Speaker 2: NFL's legal team comes in.
- 13:32Speaker 3: And handles it.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Certainly the Broncos have to have a say in the
- 13:36Speaker 2: matter here. I don't know if it's a union thing.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I mean, come on, if the Broncos don't have the
- 13:42Speaker 2: ability to do something, what are we doing?
- 13:44Speaker 4: Well, he just said we had a good didn't you
- 13:47Speaker 4: just say we had a good conversation with him?
- 13:49Speaker 2: He's also he also acknowledged that the NFL's come in
- 13:53Speaker 2: in his handling this.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Okay, but but imagine, imagine you're Sean Payton and everybody's
- 13:59Speaker 4: had a good conversation with their player regarding what happened
- 14:02Speaker 4: the previous weekend. He was able to tell his side
- 14:04Speaker 4: of the story, and you want to let things play out,
- 14:07Speaker 4: but you know, things get crazy. You want to support
- 14:09Speaker 4: your guy to a certain extent, and then that night
- 14:13Speaker 4: he ends up in the pokey again, I know. And
- 14:15Speaker 4: then that I mean, dude, if I was Sean Payton
- 14:17Speaker 4: this morning, I would be flaming pissed. I mean flaming pissed.
- 14:22Speaker 4: But George Peyton or Greg Penner or anybody I'd be flaming,
- 14:26Speaker 4: he references the league.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder how much they can actually do.
- 14:30Speaker 2: I mean, he's already because of the violation, he could
- 14:33Speaker 2: face suspension already.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Well, this is now a leak thing. Yeah, I forget
- 14:37Speaker 4: the Broncos. The NFL will take command of the situation.
- 14:41Speaker 4: I promise you that it'll be up to the Broncos
- 14:43Speaker 4: end to decide what they want to do with the player.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Says here.
- 14:47Speaker 2: A trial date for the original criminal mischief charge is
- 14:54Speaker 2: set for July twenty second, which is right before training camp.
- 14:59Speaker 3: They don't want this story right in the middle of
- 15:03Speaker 3: training camp. They don't want this happening during camp. They
- 15:07Speaker 3: don't need that distraction.
- 15:09Speaker 4: Listen, if these just from what I'm reading from the story,
- 15:13Speaker 4: if these charges from last night, if they stick and
- 15:17Speaker 4: they're going to be pursued, this is going into training camp.
- 15:21Speaker 4: This is probably going beyond training camp.
- 15:24Speaker 5: This is bad. I mean, these are four additional charges.
- 15:27Speaker 4: Then we got Scott on the on the text line saying, well,
- 15:30Speaker 4: these charges are subjective and blah blah.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Here's what I know. Maybe you're right, Scott, here's what
- 15:34Speaker 5: I do know.
- 15:35Speaker 4: You got a guy who was busted last week along
- 15:37Speaker 4: with his girlfriend, and last night he was arrested again
- 15:43Speaker 4: and put in the pokey. Now they may be subjective,
- 15:46Speaker 4: but he's sitting in jail this morning with four new charges.
- 15:50Speaker 4: That's what I know. Maybe they're bogus, maybe whatever they are,
- 15:54Speaker 4: I don't know, but I just know the facts and
- 15:56Speaker 4: the circumstances, and it's staring me right in the face.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Yea also writes Colorado loves over prosecuting people on minor things.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Really, really, really, I.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Don't know, dude. I've never been prosecuted.
- 16:12Speaker 2: For I've never been Have you been prosecuted now? Have
- 16:15Speaker 2: you been prosecuted on a minor thing?
- 16:17Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 16:17Speaker 11: I get prosecuted from my woodwinds every day by prosecuted.
- 16:23Speaker 5: You ever whack anybody with your sacks for?
- 16:25Speaker 2: I mean, mos, you're just moser aided sacks.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Did you get prosecuted for that?
- 16:30Speaker 5: Motion?

- 17:07Speaker 9: but you wake up the next day and you look
- 17:10Speaker 9: to try and get better.
- 17:12Speaker 3: We got a great group.
- 17:14Speaker 9: Yes, we had a tough, tough last week of hockey,
- 17:18Speaker 9: but we'd still from September on. We won the President's Trophy,
- 17:24Speaker 9: We had the most points in franchise history. We played
- 17:29Speaker 9: really well against La really well against Minnesota. We played
- 17:34Speaker 9: against the team that just for that time, played better
- 17:37Speaker 9: than we did.
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's Joe Sakick yesterday, basically explaining what happened. So much promise,
- 17:46Speaker 2: so much hope, so much domination. The Colorado Wagon ran
- 17:50Speaker 2: into Vegas and here we are. Welcome back to the show.
- 17:53Speaker 2: John Michael Lyle stepping in for Mark Moser. Moment, Taylor,
- 17:57Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Moses is choking again, on another
- 17:59Speaker 2: twist or not. But Johnny Green issues, Yeah, you're in

- 18:11Speaker 4: Uh?
- 18:13Speaker 5: What do you do? Yeah?
- 18:14Speaker 6: I think I'm I think I am just the swing model,
- 18:19Speaker 6: if you know, I'm just They're just gonna shoot video
- 18:22Speaker 6: of me hitting shots. I don't get to talk. That's
- 18:25Speaker 6: megahee and Moser and uh. And nobody wants to see
- 18:28Speaker 6: Connors swing on video, is my understanding?
- 18:34Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Uh.
- 18:35Speaker 6: I will say I haven't been out to Green Valley
- 18:37Speaker 6: Ranch in a little while. I caddied here for my
- 18:40Speaker 6: brother in law in the Colorado Open. Oh James times, Yeah, James,
- 18:45Speaker 6: And it's been a while, but man, I do love
- 18:48Speaker 6: this place.
- 18:49Speaker 2: It's it's Yeah, that's a fun track and I hope
- 18:51Speaker 2: you guys get to play it as well as feature today.
- 18:53Speaker 3: But Johnny, I'm glad you're with us.
- 18:55Speaker 5: Uh.
- 18:55Speaker 2: You heard from Joe And I'm not sure if you
- 18:57Speaker 2: heard the extent of that press conference motion Connor and
- 19:00Speaker 2: I were there yesterday. I still have trouble coming to terms,
- 19:04Speaker 2: So I asked Meljiah this, I'll ask you. Carolina wins
- 19:07Speaker 2: again last night. They're one win away from the Stanley Cup.
- 19:10Speaker 2: If I gave you the top five picks, if you're
- 19:12Speaker 2: picking a roster and you've got.
- 19:14Speaker 3: The Carolina roster and the Colorado.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Roster side by side, how many Colorado players are you
- 19:19Speaker 2: taking before you go to Carolina.
- 19:23Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great question. I'm gonna go for sure, three,
- 19:30Speaker 6: maybe four. Now I played in Carolina as well, so
- 19:34Speaker 6: I played with a few of those guys. Jacob Slavan,
- 19:38Speaker 6: who's a Colorado kid, is maybe he's as underrated I think,
- 19:43Speaker 6: or just given that he plays in Carolina. US Olympian
- 19:48Speaker 6: obviously gold medal winner, tremendous defensive defenseman, might be the
- 19:53Speaker 6: best defensive defenseman in the NHL. He would probably be
- 19:58Speaker 6: right up there. Jordan's is an absolute freak. Like his
- 20:02Speaker 6: nickname is Gronk right like, because he's been built like
- 20:06Speaker 6: Rob Gronkowski and he can still skate even at I
- 20:09Speaker 6: think he's thirty seven years old. But yes, I'm gonna
- 20:13Speaker 6: say three or four before I get to Carolina.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Well, that's the beauty of sports.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Then in a nutshell, right, you can be loaded with
- 20:20Speaker 2: talent and hope and you can just cruise through and
- 20:22Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, a team that doesn't.
- 20:25Speaker 6: You know, they don't have a Norris finalist, they don't
- 20:27Speaker 6: have a half finalist.
- 20:28Speaker 3: They don't have a vezin, they don't have any of
- 20:30Speaker 3: those guys.
- 20:31Speaker 6: I don't know that if you looked at their roster.
- 20:33Speaker 6: Vic and Keifer and I were in studio covering the
- 20:36Speaker 6: press conference yesterday, so we were chatting before Joe and
- 20:39Speaker 6: Josh went on, and then we chatted afterward as well.
- 20:42Speaker 6: We talked about clode le Meux and that whole situation,
- 20:44Speaker 6: and yeah, just addressed a bunch of different things. But
- 20:48Speaker 6: if you look at Carolina and I had Rod Brandamore
- 20:51Speaker 6: as an assistant coach when I was in Carolina, and
- 20:54Speaker 6: just an unbelievable human being. He sets that culture with
- 21:00Speaker 6: who he is, how he operates, and and just his
- 21:04Speaker 6: his dedication to the game of hockey. A Michigan State
- 21:08Speaker 6: spartan as well. So I mean there's a lot of
- 21:09Speaker 6: similarities between Roddy and I. He's he's unbelievable and to
- 21:14Speaker 6: see the success that he's he's had and now one
- 21:17Speaker 6: went away from the Stanley Cup Final like it's it's
- 21:19Speaker 6: it's super impressive what they've done there. And I don't
- 21:25Speaker 6: know that you can look at them and sit there
- 21:27Speaker 6: and say, this guy is the superstar of their team.
- 21:30Speaker 6: This guy is the Nathan McKinnon, the Cale McCarry you
- 21:34Speaker 6: But it's they're so well rounded, and they're deep, and
- 21:38Speaker 6: they're fast, and they're relentless. And that's the style that
- 21:43Speaker 6: that Roddy preaches and they've built that from the ground up.
- 21:46Speaker 6: I would say, like, there are some tough years when
- 21:48Speaker 6: I was in Carolina. You know, some of those players
- 21:51Speaker 6: on Carolina are are there because I was, you know,
- 21:55Speaker 6: we were living the dark days. Uh unfortunately. But they've
- 21:59Speaker 6: they've added some nice pieces, you know, like the the
- 22:03Speaker 6: the Eelers addition in free agency from Winnipeg. He's been really,
- 22:08Speaker 6: really good. He had three assists last night exactly, and
- 22:12Speaker 6: and they're just you know, Roddy's tweaked a little bit,
- 22:15Speaker 6: Like Frederick Anderson has not dressed the last two games,
- 22:19Speaker 6: and he'd played every game for Carolina up until that point,
- 22:23Speaker 6: but they felt like they needed to give him a
- 22:24Speaker 6: rest and and Brandon Bussey has stepped in and played
- 22:27Speaker 6: well in that Carolina building is really hard to go
- 22:30Speaker 6: into and win. And I mean it looked I haven't
- 22:34Speaker 6: watched a ton of the final like i've I've you know,
- 22:36Speaker 6: I kind of picked up, you know, picked apart the
- 22:38Speaker 6: first couple of games I did watch last night. It
- 22:40Speaker 6: looks like Vegas starting to run out of steam a
- 22:43Speaker 6: little bit. And it's a it's an eerie feeling given
- 22:46Speaker 6: how you know, Joe's press conference yesterday, the last week
- 22:50Speaker 6: of the season, it just felt like they couldn't execute
- 22:54Speaker 6: at those critical times. And that's what it feels like.
- 22:56Speaker 6: Vegas is hitting that wall a little bit against Carolina
- 22:59Speaker 6: at this Yeah.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Heart, you know, we used to joke four hef he's
- 23:02Speaker 2: given him four goals again, all of a sudden, four
- 23:04Speaker 2: goals for carter Hart again.
- 23:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:07Speaker 2: And I ask you, is is it something Carolina is doing?
- 23:10Speaker 2: Or is Carter Hart just slowing down?
- 23:13Speaker 3: Why couldn't the av put four on him every day?
- 23:15Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 23:16Speaker 6: I mean, listen, it's those are the you know, I mean,
- 23:19Speaker 6: this is sports, right, it's why you play. And the
- 23:23Speaker 6: Avs ran into like for It just goes to show
- 23:26Speaker 6: you how hard it is to win in the NHL.
- 23:29Speaker 6: Like Joe said, it President's Trophy most points in franchise history.
- 23:33Speaker 6: You get through the first two rounds. If you were
- 23:36Speaker 6: going to choose how you got through the first two rounds,
- 23:38Speaker 6: that's that's what you would say. Sweep round one, win
- 23:41Speaker 6: in five, and in round two, and then you just
- 23:44Speaker 6: ran into Vegas and it felt like they peaked. And
- 23:49Speaker 6: Carter Hart, I mean every shot that he faced, it
- 23:52Speaker 6: it just it looked like there was nothing. The Avs
- 23:55Speaker 6: were seeing nothing. And now all of a sudden, Carolina,
- 23:59Speaker 6: with with what they been able to do, they're making
- 24:01Speaker 6: Carter Hart look human. And this is the Vegas goaltending
- 24:05Speaker 6: that we saw most of the regular season, and what
- 24:08Speaker 6: we saw the Avs saw against Carter Hart in the
- 24:11Speaker 6: Western Conference Final was not what we had seen for
- 24:16Speaker 6: a good portion of the regular season from the Vegas
- 24:17Speaker 6: Golden Knights and their goaltending.
- 24:19Speaker 3: John Michael Lyles on with us this morning.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Hey, yesterday Psychic referenced briefly Jared Bednar and he said, Hey,
- 24:26Speaker 2: he's our coach, that's our staff. They're coming back now.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Jared is entering the final year of his contract. Have
- 24:32Speaker 2: you ever played for a coach who actually went to
- 24:35Speaker 2: that final year without an extension? A hint or anything
- 24:38Speaker 2: of that nature.
- 24:39Speaker 6: You know, I it's kind of crazy. I've never actually
- 24:43Speaker 6: known what my contracts were when I was playing, and
- 24:48Speaker 6: I don't. I mean, maybe now it's more of a
- 24:50Speaker 6: focus because Bedsy's been here for ten years, sure, and
- 24:53Speaker 6: it's it's more front and center. And and you know,
- 24:56Speaker 6: I listened to you guys talking with Connor when Moje
- 24:59Speaker 6: had his medical emergency earlier.
- 25:01Speaker 3: And just another it was.
- 25:06Speaker 6: Just another day the chaos. The man thrives in the
- 25:09Speaker 6: chaos is what it was. What Riker and I love
- 25:12Speaker 6: to joke about. He he just he has a way
- 25:14Speaker 6: of thriving in the chaos. And and when it's the
- 25:18Speaker 6: most chaotic, that's when he just settles down. Now, if
- 25:21Speaker 6: it's a normal thing sitting here on the radio, that's
- 25:23Speaker 6: when he's all over the place. But yeah, I don't
- 25:26Speaker 6: know that I've I've necessarily ever known coaches contracts. But
- 25:31Speaker 6: I love what Joe said. You know, Jared Bednar is
- 25:36Speaker 6: our coach. He has the the the players in the room,
- 25:40Speaker 6: they want him as their coach. It's disappointing how things
- 25:43Speaker 6: have ended every year since the Avs won the Cup.
- 25:47Speaker 6: And I would say the last two years have been
- 25:50Speaker 6: very disappointing in the sense of it felt like what
- 25:53Speaker 6: they've done at the trade deadlines has put them in
- 25:55Speaker 6: a position to win. And you you know, really disappointing
- 25:58Speaker 6: Game seven against Dalla, really tough Western Conference Final. But
- 26:03Speaker 6: Joe said it yesterday, what they've done at the deadlines
- 26:06Speaker 6: the last two years have put them in a position
- 26:08Speaker 6: to hopefully win over the next two years as well,
- 26:12Speaker 6: not just that year. It's for the future, and you've
- 26:15Speaker 6: got you know, I think the additions of some of
- 26:19Speaker 6: the players, like you look at Cadre, you look at Nelson,
- 26:22Speaker 6: like that second line center. I know, you know, people
- 26:24Speaker 6: want to focus on Nelson. It wasn't the playoffs that
- 26:26Speaker 6: he would have liked. I thought he was really good
- 26:28Speaker 6: as a two way center. If he could have chipped
- 26:30Speaker 6: in a little more offensively like that, those are the
- 26:33Speaker 6: things that become critical as you go deeper in the playoffs.
- 26:36Speaker 6: But Brock Nelson had thirty three goals this year. That's
- 26:39Speaker 6: the second line center that everybody was talking about once
- 26:43Speaker 6: Cadri went to Calgary and the Avs were so desperate
- 26:46Speaker 6: to find and you know, I know, you know, looking back,
- 26:50Speaker 6: like what you want to remember is just the Western
- 26:53Speaker 6: Conference final in the playoffs. But like Brock, Nelson had
- 26:56Speaker 6: a really solid year and he is a tremendous two
- 27:00Speaker 6: way center. He's third and Selkie voting right.
- 27:03Speaker 5: So I just.
- 27:05Speaker 6: Go back to again what Connor talked about, who out
- 27:09Speaker 6: there is going to step in and take Jared Bednar's
- 27:12Speaker 6: place and do a better job.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I've said that from the get go.
- 27:18Speaker 2: If you're Joe sackeding Chris McFarland obviously is not working
- 27:22Speaker 2: in Nashville. You're taking on a lot of those responsibilities.
- 27:25Speaker 2: You're wearing the GM hat, the paperwork hat, You're doing
- 27:29Speaker 2: a lot of different things. But I look at the
- 27:31Speaker 2: roster and I look at the ops. How many changes,
- 27:33Speaker 2: how many deals does he really have to make? It's
- 27:36Speaker 2: it's not going to be that busy.
- 27:38Speaker 6: No, you're right, and the foundation is there and and
- 27:40Speaker 6: this is once again I go back to we talk
- 27:42Speaker 6: about it every year. The window is still open for
- 27:45Speaker 6: this AVS team when you have Nathan McKinnon. The mccar
- 27:48Speaker 6: extension is going to be priority this summer. Let's be honest,
- 27:51Speaker 6: And Joe said it. Cal mccarr is gonna finish his
- 27:53Speaker 6: career as a Colorado avalanche. That's you know, that's not
- 27:56Speaker 6: a question. It's a question of okay, what's the number.
- 28:00Speaker 6: You know it's gonna be a long term deal, but
- 28:02Speaker 6: what's the number?
- 28:04Speaker 5: Is it?
- 28:04Speaker 6: You know, eighteen million or you know, he could ask
- 28:08Speaker 6: for eighteen, he could ask for twenty. You hope he
- 28:10Speaker 6: asked for fifteen or sixteen, just so that they can
- 28:12Speaker 6: add some pieces. But I look at what the Avs
- 28:15Speaker 6: probably need to do, you know, macar extension. Lekkinen's up
- 28:20Speaker 6: for an extension. It'll be interesting to see how they
- 28:22Speaker 6: approach that. You know, he was not one hundred percent
- 28:25Speaker 6: in the playoffs. You could just tell, because this is
- 28:27Speaker 6: a guy that wins every battle in the corner, in
- 28:29Speaker 6: every battle at the net front, and it just it
- 28:31Speaker 6: looked like he was he he couldn't, you know, he
- 28:33Speaker 6: couldn't physically out muscle guys and he outwills guys, and
- 28:38Speaker 6: and when when you're dealing with whatever he was dealing with,
- 28:41Speaker 6: I'm gonna say it was probably something you know, oblique ribs, whatever.
- 28:45Speaker 6: It's just so hard to outwill and out muscle big
- 28:49Speaker 6: defenders in the corners at the NetFront, and that's what
- 28:51Speaker 6: he does. So well, I think the Avs need to
- 28:54Speaker 6: add one or two defencemen. And I'm gonna say, you
- 28:57Speaker 6: know they're looking. I'm saying big, stay at home guys,
- 29:00Speaker 6: because when you look up and down their lineup, Cale mccarr, Deavon, Taves,
- 29:04Speaker 6: Sam Malinsky had a huge, huge jump this year. Like
- 29:09Speaker 6: everybody forgets, Sam Malinsky hasn't even played two hundred games
- 29:11Speaker 6: in the NHL. There's a it usually takes as a
- 29:14Speaker 6: defenseman two hundred games to understand what that d man
- 29:19Speaker 6: is and the jump that he made this year in
- 29:22Speaker 6: the minutes that he played, and we know he was
- 29:23Speaker 6: dealing with an injury in the playoffs and you could
- 29:26Speaker 6: see it started to take its toll in that Western
- 29:28Speaker 6: Conference final. Having those guys mccar Taves, Malinsky, Manson under contract,
- 29:35Speaker 6: I think they're going to add a piece or two
- 29:37Speaker 6: on the back end, Bigger, a little bit more rugged,
- 29:40Speaker 6: a little bit more physical. I think that to me
- 29:43Speaker 6: is when you run into a Vegas where the bodies
- 29:46Speaker 6: were bigger and they were just they were so well structured,
- 29:49Speaker 6: they just I think those type of players will add
- 29:53Speaker 6: come playoff time next year.
- 29:55Speaker 2: All Right, We talk a lot of golf on this program,
- 29:58Speaker 2: we're all golf enthusiasts, Elf mosuer Caine Moser usually loses,
- 30:03Speaker 2: but John Michael lyles for those that don't know, he's
- 30:06Speaker 2: easily the best golfer at altitude. I saw a card
- 30:10Speaker 2: last week. He was sixty six up at Frost Creek.
- 30:14Speaker 6: I did Keifer. I'll send you the video, Vick. You'll
- 30:18Speaker 6: love it because Keifer had ah he shot a seventy four,
- 30:22Speaker 6: which is dan sooyd that it's really good. And he
- 30:25Speaker 6: played great. He had a triple on ten. I'll send
- 30:26Speaker 6: you the video. He was he was hitting from the
- 30:29Speaker 6: snake den. But what I'll say is Keifer, when you
- 30:33Speaker 6: play with him, especially with me, at about the sixth
- 30:37Speaker 6: or seventh hole, if we're close, he goes inward and
- 30:41Speaker 6: he goes really quiet, and he won't talk to anybody
- 30:44Speaker 6: because he knows the scorecard in his head and his
- 30:47Speaker 6: whole goal in life is to beat me at golf,
- 30:50Speaker 6: and so then he just goes quiet. And then on
- 30:52Speaker 6: about the twelfth hole, when he realizes that he has
- 30:57Speaker 6: he's tripled down, his leg is you know, for lack
- 31:00Speaker 6: of a better term, he then gets mad for a
- 31:03Speaker 6: hole and then he opens back up for the remaining
- 31:05Speaker 6: four holes of the round. And this happens over and
- 31:08Speaker 6: over and over again. So we were playing with our
- 31:10Speaker 6: good friend Tom Green up at Frost Creek and I
- 31:12Speaker 6: said to Tom, I go, this is where Keifer gets quiet.
- 31:15Speaker 6: And so he went quiet. And then on ten he
- 31:17Speaker 6: tripled and I shot sixty six and he shot seventy four.
- 31:22Speaker 6: And that's that's the keyfer day in the life of
- 31:26Speaker 6: When we were golfing with Kyle Keef, he's so focused.
- 31:29Speaker 5: He'll say that.
- 31:30Speaker 6: He said to me, we played Cherry Creek on Friday
- 31:33Speaker 6: with my brother in law James, and he said to me,
- 31:35Speaker 6: he goes, I don't even care about the money. I
- 31:37Speaker 6: just care about the score.
- 31:38Speaker 2: And now one we all know he cares about Oh
- 31:41Speaker 2: my god, he doesn't even carry money.
- 31:43Speaker 6: No, exactly, he has a debit card. He does not
- 31:45Speaker 6: have a credit card. Dana watches that thing like a hawk.
- 31:48Speaker 6: And but that's his thing is he goes so quiet
- 31:51Speaker 6: that he cannot physically hit a shot because he's so
- 31:55Speaker 6: in his own thoughts.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Well, I never want to play with you because you're
- 31:59Speaker 2: too good, and that would frustrate the hell out of me.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I don't play with dudes who's shoot in the sixties. Man,
- 32:05Speaker 2: that's not even sport. That is that that's not even hurt.
- 32:10Speaker 6: The recap, Yeah, it hurt the handicap. Keefer stood over
- 32:14Speaker 6: me until I posted it that night, and it did
- 32:16Speaker 6: not help.
- 32:17Speaker 3: All right, tell Moser and we appreciate you.
- 32:19Speaker 2: John Michael Isles filling in with the Hockey Talk guy.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Tell moj that the days of the white belt those
- 32:25Speaker 3: are like five ten years ago.

- 33:04Speaker 2: bring up other stories outside norm We're gonna get back
- 33:08Speaker 2: to the Broncos and the Jonathan Cooper situation, which is
- 33:11Speaker 2: clearly the a story today did you hear this one
- 33:15Speaker 2: now that you're doing some golf stuff. Did you hear
- 33:16Speaker 2: about Phil Nicholson yesterday?
- 33:18Speaker 5: And what I did?
- 33:20Speaker 1: Dude?
- 33:20Speaker 5: I was reading about that. What so? What? What down? Man?
- 33:24Speaker 5: What happened?
- 33:24Speaker 4: So?
- 33:24Speaker 2: Golf Digest has the exclusive Phil Nicholson was kicked out
- 33:28Speaker 2: of a San Diego golf club. He's a member of
- 33:30Speaker 2: this club over allegations he made some unwanted physical contact
- 33:36Speaker 2: with the female employee. This, according to Golf Digest, sources
- 33:40Speaker 2: say Micholson is no longer welcome at the Farms Golf
- 33:44Speaker 2: Club in Rancho Santa Fe. He was actually on the
- 33:46Speaker 2: course plane and they came up and told him to leave.
- 33:50Speaker 4: You're kidding, So he's out. He's Hold on a second, now,
- 33:52Speaker 4: let me get this straight. He's out playing his round
- 33:54Speaker 4: on the course. Yeah, and they come up, Hey, yeah,
- 33:57Speaker 4: we're gonna ask you to leave. You gotta go, yep, yep.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Has anyone's reputation taken a bigger hit over the last
- 34:05Speaker 2: few years than a guy like Phil Nicholson, who at
- 34:07Speaker 2: one point, remember.
- 34:08Speaker 3: The heyday of Tiger Woods.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Phil was the he was the people's champ, he was
- 34:12Speaker 2: the arnie, he was the crowds he was the guy
- 34:15Speaker 2: everybody cheered for. He was the man, and then he
- 34:19Speaker 2: took the live money, and then he said some things,
- 34:22Speaker 2: and then he did some things. And now, my goodness,
- 34:25Speaker 2: how far the mighty have fallen.
- 34:27Speaker 4: He's an absolute pariah, is what he is, a pariah
- 34:31Speaker 4: to the golf world. It's pretty amazing to me. You
- 34:34Speaker 4: see some of these guys come back. I mean, Koepka
- 34:37Speaker 4: obviously is back, and to Shamba will be back, backing
- 34:39Speaker 4: Ram and so on, and.
- 34:42Speaker 5: I guess Petrick Green is going to come back. Don't
- 34:45Speaker 5: like that guy.
- 34:46Speaker 4: But but but I don't think Phil's ever gonna be
- 34:49Speaker 4: welcomed back period.
- 34:50Speaker 5: Dude.
- 34:51Speaker 4: I mean, it certainly doesn't feel like it. It's really uh,
- 34:54Speaker 4: it's kind of crazy how it's all gone down that way.
- 34:57Speaker 4: He's speaking of golf. I'm I'm curious as to how
- 35:01Speaker 4: you like to see a tournament. Have you seen the
- 35:04Speaker 4: leader board at the RBC Canadian Open before we have
- 35:07Speaker 4: no mass Open? No, Well, there are about fifty fifty
- 35:13Speaker 4: guys within two shots of the lead heading into round
- 35:18Speaker 4: two today. Some guys are already on the course and
- 35:20Speaker 4: they're they're making their moves and so now Tarry fifty guys,
- 35:23Speaker 4: it's like fifty guys within four shots of the league.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Like last week's tournament.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Last week's tournament was just a nail bier because you
- 35:29Speaker 2: had like ten dudes who had a chance to win
- 35:31Speaker 2: on the final day.
- 35:32Speaker 5: Now do you like that? Do you like?
- 35:34Speaker 4: Do you like it when guys in tournaments the the
- 35:37Speaker 4: course is set up where everybody can score.
- 35:40Speaker 5: You know, everybody can can can get a piece.
- 35:43Speaker 4: And so going into Sunday you have literally twenty dudes
- 35:47Speaker 4: that can win.
- 35:48Speaker 2: I don't like the preposterous scoring where it ends up
- 35:51Speaker 2: and you're twenty eight under.
- 35:52Speaker 3: I think that's silly. But I do like it to
- 35:55Speaker 3: where you.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Don't know who's gonna win until you know the back
- 35:58Speaker 2: nine that Who doesn't like that? I mean, that's that's
- 36:02Speaker 2: the drama we all wait for. Why wouldn't you want
- 36:05Speaker 2: it that way? Then you go to the US Open.
- 36:07Speaker 3: Route where even parr plus one wins a tournament.
- 36:11Speaker 4: Okay, that's see that gets the extreme going though, right
- 36:15Speaker 4: like the Masters is probably pretty good when you you know,
- 36:19Speaker 4: if you get to a double digit lead at the Masters,
- 36:22Speaker 4: or I mean sorry, double digit under par, you're gonna
- 36:25Speaker 4: have the lead probably right around there. Anywhere from you know,
- 36:29Speaker 4: eight to eleven under is probably really super duper good
- 36:32Speaker 4: for the week.
- 36:33Speaker 5: You know that feels about right to me.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, I don't know how closely you
- 36:39Speaker 2: watched the final seconds and they've played.
- 36:41Speaker 5: It over and over and over again.
- 36:43Speaker 2: The final seconds of Game four that the Knicks stormback
- 36:46Speaker 2: to win, the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, was unreal.
- 36:50Speaker 2: And all the little things that took place in that game, right,
- 36:52Speaker 2: all the little plays, Darren Fox going for the lay
- 36:56Speaker 2: up instead of holding the ball the final.
- 36:58Speaker 5: Did you yesterday real quick though?
- 37:01Speaker 4: Did you just send out a tweet that you said,
- 37:03Speaker 4: hold the damn ball out of nowhere to tell what
- 37:04Speaker 4: you did?
- 37:05Speaker 3: That's what I was talking about.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Yeah, hold the ball.
- 37:07Speaker 3: I was talking about that play.
- 37:09Speaker 4: But it was literally vic, it was literally twenty hours
- 37:12Speaker 4: after the it went down.
- 37:13Speaker 5: You said, just sent this random tweet out? I did? Yeah,
- 37:16Speaker 5: didn't you?
- 37:17Speaker 3: Sad if it was BALLAI or something, maybe it might
- 37:19Speaker 3: have been. I have no idea.
- 37:21Speaker 2: It still resonates now, hold the damn ball. Yeah, But
- 37:24Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this video the final
- 37:28Speaker 2: play of the game, the very last play, if you
- 37:31Speaker 2: go back and look at it.
- 37:33Speaker 3: The Spurs were going to win the game.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Stefan Castle was wide open at the rim for an
- 37:41Speaker 2: alleyub dunk to win the game. But Karl Anthony Towns
- 37:45Speaker 2: got a finger on the throw in on the ball
- 37:48Speaker 2: the law from Dylan Harper a finger on.
- 37:50Speaker 3: It, and it changed everything.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Dude, if San Antonio were to win on an oop,
- 37:56Speaker 2: it was wide open most you know how Towns did it.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Go back and look at the video.
- 38:02Speaker 2: He's instructing the fans of New York who were sitting
- 38:05Speaker 2: in front row to squish Dylan Harper, to move him
- 38:08Speaker 2: off his place, and it sort of and Harper suddenly
- 38:12Speaker 2: moves up.
- 38:13Speaker 3: A couple couple inches.
- 38:14Speaker 5: It's all to him.
- 38:15Speaker 3: He moves up because the dudes standing next to him
- 38:18Speaker 3: on the sideline are getting closer to him and him.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Moving up just in it, Carlin, Anthony Towns gets a
- 38:25Speaker 2: finger on it, literally a fingernail, and that's the difference
- 38:28Speaker 2: between winning and losing.
- 38:29Speaker 4: I guess I guess it worked, right. I mean, if
- 38:32Speaker 4: it works, it works, it's pretty smart.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Oh.
- 38:34Speaker 4: By the way, did you see the postgame comments last
- 38:37Speaker 4: night of John Tortorella, Vegas Golden Knight's head coach, did
- 38:40Speaker 4: you see his reaction?
- 38:42Speaker 5: I did not.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Somebody asked him if he thought because Carter Hart. No,
- 38:47Speaker 4: Now you know what, you know what a save percentage
- 38:49Speaker 4: is right now? Vicing this series? Eight fifty four? Well
- 38:53Speaker 4: he's uh, he's giving up four game. Yeah, he's an
- 38:56Speaker 4: eight fifty four. So, Nellie, if you would because Eric
- 39:01Speaker 4: Johnson loved playing for Torts and Torch has been remarkably
- 39:05Speaker 4: calm and chill outside one hundred thousand dollars fine when
- 39:07Speaker 4: he didn't talk at all, but he's been man of
- 39:09Speaker 4: just letting these guys play, man letting these guys play. Well,
- 39:12Speaker 4: he's now trailing three games to two, and he went
- 39:14Speaker 4: off last night, Nelly.
- 39:15Speaker 9: Left side standing up, John did you consider it all
- 39:18Speaker 9: going to Aiden Hill in the third period or was
- 39:20Speaker 9: there any conversation if thought got a price?
- 39:21Speaker 1: That could be the stupidest question I've heard left.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Well, I mean, how stupid is it.
- 39:29Speaker 4: If your goal he's got an eight, if he's rocking
- 39:31Speaker 4: an eight fifty four save percentage and giving up for
- 39:34Speaker 4: a game. By the way, do you know Vic, do
- 39:37Speaker 4: you remember when the Golden Knights won.
- 39:39Speaker 5: The Stanley Cup? Sure you know who the goalie was,
- 39:42Speaker 5: Aiden Hill?
- 39:42Speaker 4: Yes, he's sitting on the bench right now. I don't
- 39:45Speaker 4: think it's that dumb of a question, do you.
- 39:47Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, you can't blame Carter Hart.
- 39:50Speaker 2: It's not like it's he's got a porous approach to
- 39:53Speaker 2: the game suddenly. But he's a different goalie than what
- 39:56Speaker 2: we saw the first three rounds, that's for sure.
- 39:58Speaker 5: Yeah, you're damn right.
- 39:59Speaker 4: He also said this quote, we'll be back here. We're
- 40:03Speaker 4: just going to do it in different order. I'm going
- 40:05Speaker 4: to leave my clothes here, that's for sure. They'll be
- 40:08Speaker 4: in the hotel.
- 40:09Speaker 3: That's so toward said yes, do whatever.
- 40:12Speaker 5: You like that or do you not like that? I
- 40:14Speaker 5: like it. I like he said we're coming back. He said,
- 40:17Speaker 5: we're coming back for game seven.
- 40:19Speaker 1: That could be the stupidest question I've heard.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Hey man, what's different from that?
- 40:23Speaker 2: And what Remember what Ray Bork told the Avs game
- 40:26Speaker 2: six in New Jersey.
- 40:27Speaker 4: Yeah, well he said yeah he no, no, So Ray,
- 40:31Speaker 4: I remember he goes, so somebody said if you come
- 40:33Speaker 4: back for game seven. He's like, when when we come
- 40:35Speaker 4: back for game seven? I remember that, Like it was yesterday,
- 40:39Speaker 4: same day at ball Arena, Newly.
- 40:40Speaker 11: You got one, I do oh By the way, I
- 40:43Speaker 11: don't know if you guys saw what happened with the
- 40:47Speaker 11: Tulsa Drillers the other day. So the Drillers are a
- 40:50Speaker 11: double a affiliate for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles,
- 40:54Speaker 11: and they have a top outfield prospect by the name
- 40:57Speaker 11: of Kendall George who is actually the Dodgers' first round
- 41:01Speaker 11: draft picked a few years ago. So he's standing on
- 41:04Speaker 11: second base. The batter rips a single, and so you know,
- 41:09Speaker 11: if you take off, run in from second and you haul,
- 41:12Speaker 11: you can make it home on a single. So he
- 41:14Speaker 11: rounds third, he's going full speed. He makes it home
- 41:18Speaker 11: standing up, doesn't have to slide. And as he's decelerating,
- 41:22Speaker 11: as he's getting back towards the dugout, the Tulsa Driller's
- 41:25Speaker 11: bat dog comes sprinting out of the dugout and gets
- 41:29Speaker 11: right in his way. So he jumps out of the
- 41:32Speaker 11: way so he doesn't bulldoze this poor dog. And immediately
- 41:35Speaker 11: when he lands, you can see him limping and grabbing
- 41:37Speaker 11: his leg and he pulls up funny, and thankfully he
- 41:41Speaker 11: avoided any structural damage, and they're still evaluating him, but
- 41:44Speaker 11: he did something to his knee and then immediately the
- 41:48Speaker 11: Tulsa Drillers suspended their bat dog program.
- 41:52Speaker 3: Hold on a sick They have a bat dog.
- 41:55Speaker 6: Instead of a bat boy.
- 41:56Speaker 11: They have a bat dog who goes and retrieves the
- 41:58Speaker 11: bat and then brings it back because he's a good boy.
- 42:00Speaker 3: What kind of dog is a bat.
- 42:01Speaker 4: It's typically a golden retriever. Bat dogs are typically golden retrievers.
- 42:06Speaker 4: I'm guessing it was a golden retriever.
- 42:08Speaker 5: Typically.
- 42:09Speaker 4: That's what happens is that when you get some good ones,
- 42:11Speaker 4: you get some bad ones. I mean, you know, you
- 42:13Speaker 4: like I've seen it's passed down like a dad and
- 42:16Speaker 4: then his one of his pups becomes the new bat dog.
- 42:19Speaker 4: I saw mom. She was great, and then one of
- 42:21Speaker 4: her pups was terrible. Like, oh man, not a chip
- 42:24Speaker 4: off the old mom block. Here, it's a terrible, bad dog.
- 42:26Speaker 4: He's ran around, took it.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all fun games until your top prospect tears
- 42:31Speaker 2: in acl. Yeah, it's all fun the dog game until
- 42:36Speaker 2: you start losing prospective players.
- 42:38Speaker 4: But okay, is this the first time a bat dog
- 42:41Speaker 4: has ever injured a player? I think the answer is
- 42:43Speaker 4: probably yeah, otherwise we would have heard about it. It's
- 42:47Speaker 4: a once in a million thing. Man, poor dog is
- 42:50Speaker 4: trying to do his job. Suspend him, you throw him
- 42:53Speaker 4: a dog jail.
- 42:55Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, last one for me.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Yesterday again, Josh Coroncky was asked about practice facilities.
- 43:00Speaker 3: He was asked about the.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Nuggets facility yesterday, the as facility, and the answer was
- 43:05Speaker 2: the same. For those that don't know downtown Denver as
- 43:08Speaker 2: you see it today, if you blink twenty years from now,
- 43:11Speaker 2: it's gonna look completely different that whole Ball Arena area.
- 43:14Speaker 2: It's a new downtown. It's gonna be a brand new downtown,
- 43:16Speaker 2: new buildings, new, I mean, everything you know about Denver
- 43:21Speaker 2: is going to change, and it's going to start. According
- 43:24Speaker 2: to Josh Cronkey, they're getting the permits and it's it's
- 43:28Speaker 2: taken a while, but any day now to build a
- 43:31Speaker 2: pedestrian bridge across Spear Boulevard. And once that bridge begins assembling,
- 43:38Speaker 2: once they get that done, the rest of the development starts.
- 43:41Speaker 3: And that's when you start getting the practice facilities.
- 43:44Speaker 5: Start with where's it gonna go?
- 43:47Speaker 2: Well, you know where that light is right now, you
- 43:48Speaker 2: know where the light is, and people start walking across
- 43:51Speaker 2: just to the east of that light, a little bit.
- 43:52Speaker 2: They're gonna build a bridge just to the east of that.
- 43:56Speaker 2: And I've seen the designs just to the south, just
- 43:59Speaker 2: to the south. Start with the south and east thing.
- 44:02Speaker 2: When you're approaching downtown Denver on spear, that to me
- 44:06Speaker 2: is you're going say you're going south.
- 44:08Speaker 5: I'm not.
- 44:09Speaker 3: This is not an argument. This is not an argument.
- 44:12Speaker 5: If you get off and you hand it downtown, you're
- 44:15Speaker 5: heading south.
- 44:16Speaker 2: When I'm leaving North Denver and I need to go
- 44:18Speaker 2: to downtown Denver, I'm gonna go east.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I'm going to eat. I'm going east.
- 44:23Speaker 5: You think I'm gonna listen to you, You're.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Never gonna You are never gonna win this argument in
- 44:28Speaker 4: a million years.
- 44:29Speaker 5: You're going south.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Bro Downtown Denver's east of Denver. Downtown Denver's east of
- 44:35Speaker 2: Denver is downtown Denver, east of the mountains.
- 44:38Speaker 5: Yes or no? Yes?
- 44:41Speaker 3: Okay, So what's the difference.
- 44:44Speaker 4: All right, Nelly, wrap it up. I can't do this.
- 44:47Speaker 4: I can't do this compass thing with you today.
- 44:49Speaker 5: Man. I can't. No, not only can I not do it,
- 44:52Speaker 5: I won't do it.

- 45:19Speaker 2: be a joyous occasion for Sean Payton, who signed a
- 45:22Speaker 2: five year extension yesterday. But now the head coach and
- 45:25Speaker 2: the organization, they got the work cutout for him because
- 45:27Speaker 2: one of their past rushers is in trouble again
