  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardy and Kane on demand.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from seven to ten on
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: All right, let's set out to the Ramas Law Hotline
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: car accident. You need Ramos Law medical doctor and attorney
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: ramas Law dot com. The head coach of the Avalanche,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Jared Bednar joining us coach. First of all, congrats on
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the win last night. How are you doing this morning?
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: I'm tired this morning. Yeah, that was a late one.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: That was a late one.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, by the time I got home, it was like
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: twenty after one.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Well do you think that waiting twenty minutes for glass
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to get replaced had something to do with that?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So that was tired of it. Yeah, late start time.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: You know, quite a few penalties I think in the game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Then you break the glass and there's a delay and
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: the media, you know, availability to the games is different.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: You know, it's one coach and players and the other coach,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: and it's by the time that wrapped up and then
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: drove home, it was late and so that we need
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to get up this morning. So we got to move
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: into an airplane here by one o'clock.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: No doubt about it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: Coach, you never released come out and say, Mose you're wrong,
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: although I'm sure you've thought it on more than one occasion.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: Correct me if I'm wrong about this. I told the
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: boys in the first hour. I said, look, I think
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: the coach is probably most proud when you look at
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: these two games that his team is not You're not.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: Getting out of the game plan.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: They're sticking with what got you there and what you
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: want them to do, and it's paying off, even if
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: it takes overtime. That they're not getting frustrated and they're
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: not trying to do too much. They're staying within the
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: game plan. Is that correct?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: That is one hundred percent tracked. You know, like if
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I just sort of separate the two games, I really
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: like the way we checked and how we're committed. Defensively.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The first game, I felt like we could have and
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: we had dangerous chances, you know, like we had some
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: good looks in game one, but I felt like we
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: could create more offensively. So do the same thing defensively.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Take a look at all that and then get let's
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: get a little bit more dangerous. Let's use your skating
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: to our advantage, find a way to execute through some
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: tough checking, and I thought we did that game too.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: We had some lows in the game where we didn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: have anything going on, but when I started looking at
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: like the scoring chances that we created, some of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: looks that we created throughout the course of the game,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: they piled up and were more dangerous than Game one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So we didn't finish them all off the way I
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: would have liked. I think the goalie had something to
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: do with that. Some of it was execution, and then
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: we needed to continue to check the same way we
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: did that in game two as well. So it's like
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: it's you're checking to win the hockey game because they're
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: a very tight defensive club and they find ways to
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: keep it talk under your net and you have to
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: do the same thing. And to this point, I'd like
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: that we've done on that side of it as well.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Coach fine line between coaching and like micromanaging your players.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: You allow them to be themselves.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: But what do you say to a Marty Natchez when
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: you had that three on one shoot the puck?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Do you tell him that or do you even have
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to say it?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Well, we haven't disgusting yet, but yeah, like it's one
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: of these things where I think you gotta be a
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: little bit selfish there. I would have liked to see,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: like just get the goalie moving once and then hit
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: somebody else. And to me that was likely. You know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Marty and Kale like kick and get it back and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: like hammer on a one timer and make an early
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: pass and and like that that second pass is too
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: tight to the crease. I think Marty has you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: he's got such an incredible shot. If there's a little
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: deception on the pass, if you catch it, release it,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: you know, I think there's good chances going in. You know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: you can't get afraid of the of the goalie because
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: he's you know, and I don't think that was the case,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but because he's playing well, I think you got to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: repeat the process and get more pucks there and eventually
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: he's going to make a mistake. And that wasn't the
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: only one that we that we passed up on. I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: already had another walking down the slot and overtime it
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: fed it over to Mac. Now it was a great path.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Untimed it. I mean, I guess their defenseman blocked it,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: but we were getting some good looks in bunches at
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: certain times throughout the course of the game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: And what's interesting about that, coach, real quick, I'm sorry, Brett.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: What's interesting about that is Clark he went down on
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: all fours to block that McKinnon one time.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: We're into a wide open net, but being.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Down on all fours in overtime did not allow him
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: to clear that pucket wall was able to put it through.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: It's kind of interesting how and we all know how
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: it goes. You live by the sword and died by
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: the sword.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Sometimes that's exactly it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: There's benefits to playing that way, like the fronting all
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the pucks that come to the net trying to jump
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: out in front of guys. You could block a lot
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of shots. You can get it pushed north and get
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: going on offense. That's a benefit. The downfall is if
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you're playing that way and you miss it and the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: guy gets a bump on your cross check on you
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: moves you out of the way a little bit. Is
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: it disruptive? While you're trying to do that, the puck
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: can lay behind you, and when it's behind you, it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the only person there is the opposition and your goalie.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: You know, and it's exactly what happened with Nick. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: they blocked a lot of shots. Again, they're committed to that,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and we've got to find ways to get in front
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: of some of their d to prevent them from blocking
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: some of those. And then we've got to find ways
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: to do what Nick did and disrupt the monosterly can't
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: get a clean look at it, you know, harder shots,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the right elevation of shots, and knee hin instead of
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: up higher where guys can just catch them in their
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: belly and get moving north. I think, you know, there's
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: all kinds of things that we talked about and look
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: at to try to get opportunities like that with Nick,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: but nothing more than just repeating it more than we
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: did in game one. And now we'll try and repeat
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: it more than we did in game two and try
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and get bodies around the net to get rewarded.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Head coach the evser bednar with us. All conversations with
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the coach are thanks to our friends at mister Ruter Plumbing,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: probably rooting for Colorado's hockey team. You know, you come
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: away to to oh to start this series and McKinnon
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and Nachus and mccarr and some of the big dogs
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: don't have a goal yet. That's got to be pretty
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: encouraging that you're getting, first of all, supporting stuff from
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: maybe the guys on third and fourth lines, but also
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: that you know they're eventually going to find it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no question. I think those guys have played well,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: They've had dangerous looks, they've been they're off the board.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: But that's why the games are so tight. We you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: we're chipping in. Like the first night, you know, Logan
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: O'Connor gets too the one gets called back. You know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: that's a great, great night defensively and offensively from the
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: fourth line that propels us to win. And last night,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: you know, a guy like next steps up and and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: great play by Nas to get it out to Man's
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: on that goal. A good hard work and shift is
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: strung a couple together. And but like just a couple
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of great plays from you know, one from Nas Man's
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: to deliver it there and then from Neck. And you
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: need different guys stepping up on any given night in
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: order to win hockey games. But as you know, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I know that the big guys will find a way,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: you know, more times than not. And when they do,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: then hopefully we can put a few more pucks in
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: the net if we getting this, you know, support from
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: from our second, third, and fourth lines is weggie.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: Is it just the playoffs? He looks faster, his instincts
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: look better. What is going on with Scott Wedgwood right now?
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah? No, that's it. It's confidence. It's the you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: the size of the moment. You know, it's he's enjoyed
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: playing the game. You know, like it's his first this
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: first playoffs you know start. You know, he's he's excited
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: about it. It's and that's where you want all your
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: guys to be. I mean, you look around the league,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: not just our game last night, but physical the intensity,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the the passion that everyone's playing with, the desperation that
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: everyone's playing with. That's it makes this game so fun.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: It was a great game to watch, and you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't love the delay, but I mean the fans
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: in our building were going crazy, and then guys should be.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: You want to have that excitement because you know the
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: opposition is going to have it and your building can
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: help energize, you know, I think our fans have done
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: an amazing job of that. They're all behind Wedge right
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: from the second to announce his name coming out on
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the ice, and it's helping him play his best. He's
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: having a lot of fun playing the game right now,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: and he should be.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: You know, Coach, you mentioned something a couple of weeks
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: ago to us when I asked you about the goalies,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: and Scott Wedgwood said the same thing after Game one
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: to the TNT crew. He used that term, it's the
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: rhythm of our team by going Wedgwood and getting Blackwood
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: in there too. But when you got a guy who's
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: giving up four goals in the last six starts, I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: do you just keep riding hot hand or what?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all about yeah, and for either guy, you know.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: And you know, we talked about it, like Wedge and
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Blackie and myself and you see, and you know, it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: just you gotta you got to kind of stick with
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: what got here, but you also got to be flexible.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: So you know, wegend never played every second night for
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a long period of time in his life, you know.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And it's not that he can't do it. But our
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: team is won in the first place because of the way,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: partly because of the way we rotated our goalies you
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: and how good they gain. Now, this this is a
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: little bit of a weird seven game series because we've
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: got like a couple of two day breaks built in here,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: so it's mostly about rest and being able to be sharp. Right, So,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: you know, WEG and I will communicate and with Blackie
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: and we'll sort of sort out what we're going to
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: do because we play game three and then we got
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: a two day break and that's lots of rest at
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: this point of the year to get kind of rest
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: and ready to go again. So we'll sit down and
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: have a discussion and make a decision kind of based
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: on how Wedge is feeling at this point. And then
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: we may get to a point where we're sitting down
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: and having the same conversation with Blackie about how he's
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: feeling and his rest and how he's playing. So it's
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: it's a long road to get to where we want
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: to go. And right now, like WEG is playing well
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: and I like to stick with him if he has
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: the juice to be able to do that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: And where is that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: You've held serve on your whole mice, right, and sorry,
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: sorry about that, you've held serve on your whole ice.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: So that's what you've got going on.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Right now, and the Kings are going to bring it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: And you've played desperate hockey teams before. What do you
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: expect out of this game three on Thursday.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be the exact same thing
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: we've seen in one and two with them. The level
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: of desperation is going to go up. I know they
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: knew that was a big game last night and they played,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: as you know, as hard as they possibly could and
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: we still found a way. And they'll be a little
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: bit more energized and rambunctious too, because they're gonna get
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: in front of their fans now, who are excited to
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: see them play. And like I said earlier, the building helps.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: It helps now if you can get out and have
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: a good start and put one in early, you can
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: quiet that building down too, and then a little bit
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: of nervous energy can creep into their games. So it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: all the types of things we talk about, like what,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: you know, what kind of start do we want to
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: have and why, and yeah, I expect both teams to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: come out and hey, we've been really consistent in what
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: we do all year. They've been really consistent about what
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: they do all year. You've seen it for two games now.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a grind, but it's it's a
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: lot of fun and we're looking forward to the challenge
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: going into La Coach.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: When you're on the bench and we saw what happened
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: to you a couple of weeks ago. By the way,
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: you've healed nicely on Like Mojer, you are a quick healer.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: Mosure is a slow heeling.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: I don't need to cut straight heel or.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I do have to ask, though, just human? Are you?
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Do you flinch it all?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, heads up, head on a swivel. How does
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that change the.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Way you act?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd like to prefer it change. The two came
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: in the bench last night, very similar. Hands are still
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: in the pockets I had on the second one though,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, it's just happened. It's the way
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: I like to stand, It's the way I like to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: sort of paste the dance and doing it a long time.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: It's like it's hard to change that. But I bet
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: I was a little jumpy there when I saw the
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: two come in the bench last night.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Well, how would you how would you feel that if
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: you just heard glass breaking behind you like DJ Smith.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Had Noah, that wouldn't affected me that much, to be
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: honest with you, although you'd have to probably go in
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: and like that looked like it come down, like you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: fell right on top of those guys, So you probably
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: got to go shake, get undressed and shake everything out
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: in the back while they're fixing the glass because that
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: stuff was everywhere, and it was like any tiny little
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: pieces and shards of glass everywhere. So it took so long,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: was part of.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: You like, dang it because you I mean we all
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: heard the pop. I heard it through the TV when
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Wedgwood makes the save on the penalty shot. That place
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: was rocking. And then immediately you go, if it's just
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: intermission essentially.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and a long one, and we didn't come
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: out of it. They came out of that break better
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: than we did, you know, but you know, there didn't
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: take us long like they kind of owned the next
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: five six, seven minutes and then the end of the period.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I that encouraged me a lot because we had a
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: lull in there of like we just weren't creating anything.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: They were shutting this down and it wasn't from you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: lack of try or competitiveness. We just we were having
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a tough time executing and getting
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: over to support or the talk to come up with
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: enough pocks. And then but the end of the period there,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I liked what we were doing. We were buzzing around.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: We strung four or five shifts together, and it was
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: probably the most dangerous point in the game until like
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: the point we kind of did the same thing in
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: overtime to score. So you just got to make sure
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: those lows and momentum swings in the game that they
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: don't take too long. And our bench is doing a
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: good job of recognizing, you know, that's a couple of
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: shifts in a row for them. Let's like someone get
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: it turned, and everyone's talking and saying the right things,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: and they're aware that the next shift's got to go
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: out and play in the offense is all one to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: kind of slow them down a little bit. So there's
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: a good awareness and engagement on our bench right now,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: which is why I think like we've been as good
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: as we have been on the defensive side of it
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: through two games.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Coach, last thing here, I look, I don't know what
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: level they can get to. I really don't I thought
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: when they came out for overtime, Kings pushed hard like
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: they have viewed that as their one opportunity. Can they
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: play better than that? Maybe they can't. I don't know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: but you guys were able to withstand that you played smart,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: good hockey. Then you inflicted your will which results in
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: the game winning goal. Where's the next gear for your
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: team and what does that look like?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I think we got a little bit more like on
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: the offensive side of things. I think we need to study, learn,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: and then we've got to implement some things into our
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: game here consistently. And there was a few things that
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: we talked about after game one to get more dangerous offensively,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: and I saw flashes and stretches of it in game
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: two that helped us create some chances. I think we
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: can find a couple more. I think we can execute
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: a little bit better, a little bit faster in a
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: couple of areas than we did in game two. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: think we can chip in a power play goal. Like
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: last night, we nullified all our power plays. The first
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: power play was fantastic. We had a you know, I
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: think four scoring chances too. Right at the net front,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: we had five shot you know, you hit a couple
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: of posts. You know, it's a game one, you scored two,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: you have one nullified, and I feel I felt like
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: we could have had one more and then still chipped
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: into power play. It's going to come down to execution,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: you know, shooting. How well do we shoot? Game one?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: We missed the net a lot. Game two, I think
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: we got a little bit better, but passed up on
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: some shots like Marty's on the on the three on one,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Like you just got to keep creating those looks and
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: making good decisions and and but I do think we
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: can put a few more than two in the net
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: in their building, and we got to keep defending the
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: same way.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Jared Bednar's weekly visits are always brought to you by
• 17:51

  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: You guys are just weak in bed well I mean,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: I mean bed during overtime, I happen to wake up.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know this kind of crap. It just
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: drives me crazy.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you're talking to the guy that went fifty six
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: straight hours without sleep.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Oh that's right, Oh my god. Okay, you're going on, baby,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: you big baby.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I have a big baby. We have one of those.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: You are going to shoot one hundred and six to day.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, right, I know, I'm just like I'm
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: telling you, don't don't hit triple digits. That's all I'm hoping. Uh,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: stay tuned.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: TJ.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Ward is going to join us in just a few
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: minutes as well. Stick around all right. You gonna be
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: joined shortly by TJ Ward former Bronco and again the
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Avs with another win last night, they improved the two
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and zero in this series against the LA Kings. And
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: then tomorrow we have that insane not just Avs, not
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: just Nuggets, but also first round of the NFL Draft
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: is happening tomorrow. And if this man's teammate keep to
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Leeb is correct, and maybe the Broncos are some sort
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: of players in the first round of the draft. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: have no idea. Now when TJ joins us, keep in
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: mind he is going to be the guy who is
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: going to be announcing the Day two pick. So he's
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: going to be at the podium for the Friday pick. Yeah,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: getting you get vixed? Mike on there nowy Yeah, I'm
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: on there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: We go.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Okay, he's going to be in Pittsburgh, Yes, alongside all
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: those children who are not in school this week.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shut it down. Maybe shut it down, shut down
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the schools.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: We got a draft.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I am curious though. Maybe I can get him to
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: have a battle with a key for who's got more
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: inside information. I'll straight up ask him, what do you
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: know about what's going to happen? See if you can
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: beat a key at his own game? Now, but dja Ward,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: he does have a podcast, by the way, it is
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the Safety First Show that you can find on you
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: on YouTube, So check that out when you get the opportunity.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: But we'll talk to TJ in a second. You know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I am curious, Vic, I keep the lead nailed the
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Jaalen Wadel thing and then he said, be on the lookout,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: be on the lookout. Maybe it's during the draft the
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Broncos make another trade. I know that you're going to
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: be fully consumed into two playoff games at the moment, Vic,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: But how much do you buy into the idea that
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: maybe the Broncos could do something tomorrow, something fun.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised one bit. I think they listen.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: There are some smart.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: People over there. They're not dumb, and it starts with
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: the ownership group. They understand the window that they're in
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: right now.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that window.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Rookie quarterback, don't pay enfranchise money yet you got two
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: or three years to make things happen.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Why a shep windows?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you pounce right now? Heye, New England's doing
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the same thing right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well it's I guess according to Schefter, it's Aj
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Brown is gonna get traded to New England. They're just
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: waiting for the post June first thing so that the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: cap hit for the Eagles isn't as bad as is.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I think it would be forty three million or something
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: if he was traded today, so they're waiting for that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: But you're absolutely right there is.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: This is when you take risks.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Look, man, the Avs have done this year after year,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: haven't they Like picks, don't care take them. I want
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: cadri bring them over. You want the immediate impact kind
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: of stuff. And that's kind of the role that they're
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: in right now, and it's a hell of a place
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: to be. It's fun. It makes days like Day one
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: of the draft less fun. But I know the Rams
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: don't have a Super Bowl to show for it since
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: that initial one with Stafford when he was first traded there.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: But the Rams have operated this way for a long
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: time and they're constantly in contention and constantly seen as
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: championship contenders. You have a quarterback on a rookie contract,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: this is the time to pounce. So I would love
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: if in the middle of these games we get some
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: sort of schefter bomb where it's like the Broncos have
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: done X, Y and Z now I've talked about this, Vick.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: If they were to do it, I think the only
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: play that really makes sense for this is probably tight end,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: probably because I don't know where else.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: They go running back off the table.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Bro It's not But would you make would you make
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: a sort of splash trade for a position where you
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: have invested a second round pick and one guy and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: then you've brought JK. Dobbins back? Like that's what I
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: It remains to be seen, But I think an offensive
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: a reach offensively here is not a reach.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It's not a risk. There's no risk undergoing.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: You're trying to make an area of your team better,
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: an area that we know they need to get better there,
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: no matter what.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Right, So I think.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Everything's on the table.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: That's the excitement going into this weekend for the Broncos.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: You don't have a first round pick, that's fine. We've
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: seen teams thrive without first round picks as long as
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: you know what you're doing in the later rounds.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Yep, sixty two. Hell again, what is to stop then
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: from taking sixty two and packing packaging sixty two with
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the current player or future picks and.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Moving around a little bit, right, TEXTA says Trademkebride. Look,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: that'd be my dream, but I think it would cost
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: the entire price of the franchise to trade him in
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: a dead cap.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Right now, I don't see that happening.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: It's not.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: There's a couple that maybe maybe I could see coming
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: out there. But we'll talk more about this with TJ
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: in just a few minutes. Just quickly here, Vic, it's
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: we just talked to the coach, Jared Bednar, and it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: it is weird to think about that you're up two
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: to zero in a series and you haven't gotten a
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: single goal from any of your big guns, not a
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: single one, and that is going to provide I think,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: a bunch of opportunity. How many games could you honestly
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: see Vic, Nathan McKinnon, Marty Nachius and cal McCarran not
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: to being on the score sheet like it's gonna happen.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Of course, you know, it always stuns me. They say
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: in the postseason. What wins postseason games? Your third and
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: fourth lines, because the top two lines are usually neutralized.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: So they did it in twenty twenty two exactly, Your
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: third and fourth lines win these games. Those are the
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: ones who break through, and that's why you should rest
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: easy as an Avalanche fan, because they are so damned deep.
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: The third and fourth lines have players who can be
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: first or second lines for some of these teams. You
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: know what, The Avs remind me of.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma City basketball kinda yeah. I mean, vik when you're
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: throwing nos Cadri and Gabe Landeskog on your third line,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you're in pretty damn good shape. The guy who scored
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the game winning goal last night, Nick Waugh, is all
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: the way down. He's like a fourth liner, you know
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: what I mean, Like you have so much depth now
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: available to you, so much, and I really do feel
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: like we're on the cusp with some sort of breakout
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: for him. It has to what UPenn to Moser, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: don't know, no idea he's being Moser.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: He's I think he's packing, he's getting ready to go
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: to Los Angeles. The difference between the NBA and the
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: NHL is their their schedule.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: They don't wait three.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Games between like here we are, we're waiting three days
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: for the next Nuggets game.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: The hockey guys, they don't skip the beat.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: No, No, the NBA does like to drag things out.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I think we got TJ ready to go here, don't we? Oh,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: never mind, We'll take one more second before TJ joins
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: us again, he is going to be announcing the second
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: round pick for the Broncos, the Day two pick tomorrow,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: which I've wondered if they do make some sort of
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: move and trade away that pick, what happens then then?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: What?
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Sure?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, So now we got TJ. Let's go out to
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: the Ramos Law hot like our accident. You need ramos
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Law medical doctor and attorney ramas Law dot com. Champion
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: of Super Bowl fifty.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: TJ.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Ward joins us.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: TJ.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning?
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: I'm great for those. How's it going?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: How's your golf game? First off? Before we get go
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: on the draft talk? Where are you at right now?
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: Last of them I played. I think I shot in
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: ninety three. I'm no where near where I was when
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: I was playing consistently. But you know, it's still fun.
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: I enjoy it going out there. You know, even when
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: you think you're playing grade, you shoot some great shots
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: and you look up at the end of the scorecard
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: and it's the same score here.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: So I got I got a couple of questions for
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: you TJ. I know you're gonna be announcing the day
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: two pick, but first of all, keep to leave your teammate.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: He's been breaking Broncos news. He did that with the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Jayalen model trade. And then he says, be on the
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: lookout for some trade maybe during the draft. What kind
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: of inside news do you got for us? Trying one
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: up him?
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: Man, I don't really got to know.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: I'm not.
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: I don't think I'm as much as inside as leave yet, Man,
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: leave me and shine and leave be. You know, doing
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: is broad his journalism duties. Man, he's deep inside. So
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: he got a one. He got a one up on
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: me on that one. I just hear it as they come.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: What I was gonna ask you is if they do
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: some some sort of trade and they give away this
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the day two pick, then what do you do You're
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: in you're in Pittsburgh to go announce the pick, then well,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: he's golf.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: That's what he does.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: You know what, I have some other obligations, but that
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: would be that would be disheartening. So I definitely hope
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: we don't give away that pick. If anything, we trade
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: some of those back end picks that we got and
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: try to get you know, either more Day two picks
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: or maybe get a Day one pick. But other than that, man,
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: I think regardless, I'll be doing something TJ.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about it.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Given where the Broncos are right now, they got a
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: guy in a rookie contract as a quarterback. You have
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: two or three years now to spend some money elsewhere,
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: and it would not surprise me one bit if the
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Broncos take some shots, take some risks.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Don't you agree this is the window? This is the time.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's definitely the time. It's definitely the time. You
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: got a mature quarterback in his rookie year. It's not
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: just in his rookie year, right, he has experienced he
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: has played off playoff experience for two years now. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: you know last year, barring injury, I think we win
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: the Super Bowl. So it's definitely the window right now.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You know, the defense is great, it was great last year.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: What do you think when people tried to make comparisons
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: between the defense last year and this year to what
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: you guys were doing.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: I mean you could make comparisons, but I think we're
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: two different styles of defense. But at the same time, man,
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: when you're playing excellent defense. You're gonna get compared. And
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: they do it their way. We did it our way.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: It's a little bit different, but you know, at the
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: end of the day, being effective that's the ultimate goal, right.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: So you know we both are very effective.
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: We both you know, led our teams and we both
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: you know, made clutch plays and big plays whenever we
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: needed to make them.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, the kid that the Broncos drafted last year, cornerback
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: safety Baron, what is he?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: In your eyes? What position should he be playing?
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: And I think he's a natural safety, you know, I
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: think he's a natural free safety if you ask me.
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: You know, he has nickel skills set, but when I
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: see him out there, he's a little he's broad, right,
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: he has some girf to him. He can run, you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: he can play the nickel as well. But the way
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: the game is transforming, I think he definitely can fit
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: right into that free safety position as well, maybe even
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: strong Honestly, you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Know, TJ. There's another guy I wanted to ask you
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: about because I had back and forth with people all
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: year long. I know Riley Moss got hit with a
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: few pass interference calls, but I'm like, when you're you're
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: playing opposite of somebody that's as good as pats Ertan,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get targeted a lot. What's your evaluation of
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Riley Moss's game?
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: I've been saying, when you get as many targets as
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: he does, you're gonna get some penalties. And I think
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: some of those penalis are definitely unfair and unwarranted. I
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: don't you know, I think half of them could easily
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: be no calls. Right, you out there fighting, you scrapping,
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: And that's all you can ask from a corner when
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: you're getting all those targets is just keep fighting, just
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: keep fighting. He never gives up. He's always right there
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: on the play. Half the time he makes the play,
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: a third of the time he gets a penalty, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: the other third you know, they're successful with That's football, man.
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: As long as you got somebody out there fighting, play
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: in and play out, man, I could work with that.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: But outside of that, he's a playmaker.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: He makes play so it's not like he just getting
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: penalties and you know all that other stuff where you know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: I think the story kind of you know, it's unfairly
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: unraveled for him, but you know, he be he's a
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: baller man.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: I like riting.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, so I'm looking tonight.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: Is that that night of champions at Paramount Theater that
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: you're hanging with the Peyton and everybody.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: What explain it, folks, what that's all about?
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: You know what, It's just a night of congregation for
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: us a few of the players and storytellers for the
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: fans could get an inside of what that year was
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: really like, what the super Bowl period and the playoff
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: piers was really like from all of us in there
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: in the same room. I think this may be the
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: first time that that has actually happened because you hear
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: the stories individually when guys do their own particular interviews
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: or their own perspectives of how that year was or
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: or what happened during that time. But you know, having
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: a few guys, you know, d Wear paid myself a manual,
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: a few other guys, is like we're all right there,
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: right in front of each other, and it's almost like
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: a live podcast.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. It's gonna be tonight at Paramount. I'm not
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: even sure if.
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: Tickets are still available, but if they are, looking up, Hey,
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: the one thing I want to mention and you guys
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: will weave stories all night that season. It's not as
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: if it was magical from the get go. You had
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: ups and downs. Hell, your franchise quarterback, your Hall of
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: Fame quarterback, missed half the season with an injury, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: then you had to come back. I mean, can you
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: comment a little bit on the coaching job Gary Kubiak
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: pulled off just to keep people happy, to keep egos
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: in check. Having to go through all of that and
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: still find a way to win the Super Bowl, You.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Know what, I disagree.
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: I think it was magical from the start because when
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: you think of magic, right, you don't think of something
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: that you see the whole time coming right. It's something
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: that's not in sight and that comes out of nowhere, right,
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: making the rabbit come out of the hat.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: We had those kind of moments all year, game winning
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: plays at the end of game, starting with Game one,
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: just when you think that we're not going to get
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: it done, Peyton gets heard, Brock comes in and boom,
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: you know, we keep winning. It's like that. That's what
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: is so magical about that season.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: It wasn't just a clear cut path for us to
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: the super Bowl. There's a lot of ups and downs,
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: a lot of uncertainty and how far we would get.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: And I think that's what makes it so magical.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: TJ Ward with us. You're with us on behalf of
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: a couple of things, but one of them is the
• 33:34

• 33:36
  Speaker 3: about that.

• 34:58
  Speaker 9: before you got But no, I think it's just a
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: name on the piece of paper, like you know, the
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: War shows, Grammys or something. Right, you just read it
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: off hopefully. No, I don't misread it like the guys say, hope.

  Speaker 7: stuck with you John Smith or.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: Man, Look, they better give me a pronunciation if it
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: is tough. But I got it, man, I'm not worried
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: about it. I don't shy away from big crowds. And
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: this is a great opportunity, right, It's going to be
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: one more piece of Bronco country that hopefully he can
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: come in and play right away. It's day two, So
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: if you're a day two guy, man, you expected to
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: contribute immediately, whether it's starting being a rotational guy or
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: on special teams.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: But you're gonna be out there.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Oh one last thing for you, ZJ and appreciate your time.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Is you repping the gear for the the athlete agency
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that you're with. What is that like when you're in
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: the game, now you're outside of it and doing a
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: little bit of the agency role.
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: Man, It's been great. Man, It's been some ups and
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: downs like any you know, career. Starting off right, we
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: started this in twenty twenty one.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: We have two sides.
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: We have a football on the basketball side and now
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: you know, really a third side with the N I L.
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: You know coming amongst us so so fast and rapidly.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: But you know, it's just championship representation, man, It's something
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: that you know, I felt like ideal representation should be
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: from a player's perspective. You know, someone who's done it
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: at every level, has been through you know, the top
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: of the top and the bottom of the bottom as
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: an athlete. So just giving perspective to these guys and
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: big advice, right, we hopefully, you.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: Know, I do have some.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: Well, I got a guy that's coming out this Year's
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: name is Julius low Ridge, and he may be something
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: we a guy we may be looking at. He goes
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: to South Dakota State, plays running back, and you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: I think we need a couple of running backs here
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: in Denver, so that'll be cool.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Is that inside information?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: What?
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: Hey, that's not inside information? That that's that's wishful thinking. Yeah,
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: I got doing his job exactly right, That's that's exactly
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: what I'm doing. So he has a lot of potential,
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: and I'm hoping he gets his name called tomorrow or
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: the next day.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: The player exactly, it's the player above sports group that
• 37:12

  Speaker 3: Ward champion of Super Bowl fifty, part of the one
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: of the best defenses that's ever existed. I mean that's
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: what it was.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: Well again, I go back to that season and the
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: roller coaster that was that season, the amount of games
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: they barely won, the fact that Peyton was hurt for
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: most of it, came back occupied the starter's role when
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: they needed to write on time, and rode that wave
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: to a super Bowl championship. And that's why you gather
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: on nights like this at Paramount Theater.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Exactly three oh three five four nine two five, Get
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: a fact checker. Next, just let it ride, down it,
• 37:51

• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I said, let's ride. Hit that chorus. I I'm not
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: afraid to say it. I like the Jonas Brothers. I
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: like them.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very poppy man and Fellas.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: It sounds like El DeBarge.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Hey, speaking of guess.
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: What world do we live in where you're afraid to
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: admit you like the Jonas Brothers Because I do.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not afraid to admit it. I you said, I'm
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: not afraid. I'm not afraid to admit it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I sensed a little you were afraid to come out.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: You're gonna catch judgment from people who listen to Metallica, like, oh,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: this is your stylo. Yeah, that's my style of music.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: You give me this waffle House song over any of
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that hair metal. I'll do that all day.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I would go to a candlelight vigil if they say,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: if you offered me a Friday night candlelight vigil of
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: this song with the Jonas brothers, I would be there.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Am I in my honor? Am I am?
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: I just talking to the void. I got something for
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: both of you. I like this too.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: My lovely wife comes down. She says, by the way,
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: so what, oh by the ways?
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: At eight forty five, she says, you.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Know who he was married to? I go who? Because
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: I was singing feel the Bead in the rhythm of
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: the night. Right.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: She goes the DeBarge guy. I said, no, Brett, you're
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: ready to have your doors blowing off.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Make me a gazebo.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: He was married to Janet Jackson.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: What what, dude?
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: Wait?
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I told you he looked like Michael Jackson.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: I told you.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Listen, I told you on the show you end up
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: marrying that someone that looks like your father.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: I dude, I'm telling you, man, I I know, I
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: knew it would.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Of all the people on that time, it would blow you.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: It would blow your mind. The most one.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Of my favorite jokes I've ever heard was Bill Burr.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: He was talking about the Jacksons, and he was telling
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: him how good Michael Jackson was and what was the
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: dad's name? Was it joh Joe? What was the father Jackson?
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Five to five? Joe Joe, Joe Jackson.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: He was his face permanently twisted from years of yelling.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: YEA, oh my god, that's awful.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: It's awful, man, he real quick. Some things we've established
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: on this show. Coach is most pleased that his team
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: stuck with the game plan, didn't get frustrated, and just
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: continue to play their game and it paid off. That's
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: number one. Number two that Terry Lombardi looks exactly like
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: easy Ola Pardy.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: There are some similarities.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: Those are the two things that we've established on this
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: program today. And three that Okay Barge is married to
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Jenda Jackson.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I just got to say something, though, I don't think
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: anything has come so much full circle. Then yesterday I
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: go the de Barge guy and that entire band looks
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: exactly like if you drew the Jackson five from memory.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: Well, you said dollar store Jackson. You said dollar store Jackson,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Tamu Jackson five. Yeah, right, And then Vic said.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: People marry you marry people who looked like your father
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: or something like that. And then you tell me that
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: you're my wife.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: That's exactly holding a big rat. Yep, that's her.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And then Mosher says the guy I said looked like
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Michael Jackson is married to Janet or was married to
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Janet Jackson.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think anything's come that full circle ever.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: That's just weird, bro, It's just weird, just bizarre. Life
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: is crazy, Like I just.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: The Queen of Chicken is easy. I just never I
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: never would have put it.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: Together if she heard. First of all, if she heard
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: you say.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: That easy e.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Sorry, if she heard you that, probably you probably get punched.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: It's a compliment.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: If I say, if I said to lindsay, if I
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: say to lindsay, you know you look exactly like Willie,
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: she would punch me right in the face right the
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: kiss her.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Oh who got knocked out yesterday?
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Vit no hockey.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: There was a fight. It was one wall Slapskowsky got hit.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: He didn't get knocked out, but but hego got him
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: right on the button, right, I mean right on the.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: Knocked him down. Yep, stunned him hard. Most shocking him out.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Most shocking thing from yesterday is it that Wenby got
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: concussed in the spurs lost? Is it that the Lakers
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: won Game two against Houston with Kevin Durant in the lineup.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Is it that Utah tied the series with Vegas one
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: to one?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: What is it Utah almost won game one?
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: I think the Rockets completely falling apart at the most
• 42:47
  Speaker 7: important time of the year, playoff time with the team
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: that some people even suggested earlier in the season.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Watch out of the Rockets, they got Durant. Is this
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: is this enough proof?
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Guys?
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: And I'm not a Durant hater. Kevin Durant's an all
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: time player, one of the more overrated players in the
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: game today. Look at what he did in Phoenix and
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: look at what he's done in Houston.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Look, man, if he didn't join Golden State, there's a
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: lot of different conversations happening surrounding cable, a lot a.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: Lot of different combos.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Yep, I'm watching his game last night. He does nothing
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: to make his team that much better.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: The earliest Wemby can come back for the playoffs is
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: game four. According to these concussion protocol rules, the average
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: or I'm sorry, the day before Game four, that's the earliest,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: but the average timeline for return would be game five
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: to game six for most guys in concussion protocols. So
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: who knows, maybe that shifts a series.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: All that does is it makes this damn t Wolves
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: series so important for the Nuggets because if Portland can
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: somehow even stretch the Spur just six or seven games,
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: I'm not even asked for them to win the series.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Stretch them, you know, tire them out a little bit.
