- 0:18Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio loves football. Bo Nix is especial.
- 0:24Speaker 3: I feel like I'm better than Patrick Mahomes.
- 0:26Speaker 2: It's over, pal.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Yes!
- 0:30Speaker 3: Yes!
- 0:31Speaker 1: Tonight!
- 0:32Speaker 3: Buenos Dias!
- 0:33Speaker 2: Big time win!
- 0:34Speaker 4: Yes!
- 0:35Speaker 3: Yes! Yes!
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yes!
- 0:37Speaker 1: Yes!
- 0:38Speaker 3: Yes!
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yes!
- 0:43Speaker 5: I forgot how many yeses there were to DMACC's whole
- 0:46Speaker 5: thing there.
- 0:47Speaker 3: What's the question?
- 0:49Speaker 5: I'm going to give this guy a pass, which I
- 0:51Speaker 5: have not done in the history of this program.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Daryl Doucette, you get a pass today. You are better
- 0:55Speaker 3: than Patrick Mahomes. I feel like I'm better than Patrick Mahomes.
- 0:57Speaker 4: You are.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Daryl Doucette, that's just so crazy.
- 1:05Speaker 3: How do you think this game looks?
- 1:09Speaker 4: I can't wait to find out. I think there are
- 1:12Speaker 4: going to be a couple plays that are fluke plays
- 1:15Speaker 4: that always occur when you're in Kansas City. We saw
- 1:19Speaker 4: the fluky nature in which the Broncos lost a couple
- 1:22Speaker 4: years ago. They had a field goal opportunity to win
- 1:25Speaker 4: it at the buzzer. It gets blocked. We've seen flukiness.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Games like this scare the hell out of me. It's Arrowhead.
- 1:31Speaker 4: It's the opener. The witch is back. Broncos are the
- 1:34Speaker 4: better team. I believe they're the better team on the field,
- 1:37Speaker 4: on paper, everything. I think they'll emerge the better team
- 1:39Speaker 4: this season. But I would not be the least bit
- 1:42Speaker 4: surprised if Kansas City finds a way to win tonight.
- 1:46Speaker 4: That's my thought.
- 1:48Speaker 5: But as far as, I guess what I'm asking is,
- 1:51Speaker 5: Do you think this game is both teams in the 20s?
- 1:53Speaker 5: Do you think it's like 17 to 10? Do you
- 1:56Speaker 5: think it's 35 to 31?
- 1:58Speaker 4: If these teams combine for 41 points, it will be
- 2:04Speaker 4: the highest scoring week one in NFL history. Did you
- 2:07Speaker 4: know that?
- 2:09Speaker 3: Already? Wait, what?
- 2:10Speaker 4: If these teams combine for 41 points... it will be
- 2:15Speaker 4: the highest scoring week one ever. Vic, I'm telling you,
- 2:17Speaker 4: I was just watching yesterday morning. It's a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Bears-Panthers was 100 points by themselves.
- 2:24Speaker 4: I mean.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Pretty crazy. Listen, Brett, that's an impossible question for me
- 2:29Speaker 2: to answer. Because I don't know what Kansas City is.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Me neither. And that's what's scary.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I don't... I truly don't know. I don't know how
- 2:39Speaker 2: to analyze and assess... You seem to think they have
- 2:44Speaker 2: junk for weaponry on the offensive side of the football.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Hold on. For everybody who thinks, and I catch a
- 2:52Speaker 4: lot of heat for this, oh, don't be scared. It's
- 2:54Speaker 4: not being scared. It's being a realist. It's just understanding
- 2:57Speaker 4: what this game is. Last I checked, the Broncos went
- 3:01Speaker 4: to Arrowhead last season with a much better team. Kansas
- 3:06Speaker 4: City had nothing. Mahomes was out. They were down to
- 3:09Speaker 4: their third-string quarterback. Broncos barely won the game.
- 3:15Speaker 2: The old matchup predictor is 60-40 right now. I don't
- 3:17Speaker 2: know what you make about that in favor of Kansas City. Brett,
- 3:21Speaker 2: there's so many unknowns to me from Kansas City, but
- 3:25Speaker 2: let me give you a Broncos unknown. Without Cooper and
- 3:31Speaker 2: with JFM being gone from the middle of that defensive line,
- 3:35Speaker 2: how much of a hit is it? Is it a
- 3:38Speaker 2: little teeny tiny hit or is it a big hit?
- 3:41Speaker 2: What if Andy Reid goes, I'll tell you what, because
- 3:44Speaker 2: when you looked at Zach Allen and JFM in the
- 3:46Speaker 2: past in the middle there, if you're an opposing offense,
- 3:51Speaker 2: they're going, good God, look at these two line wreckers.
- 3:54Speaker 2: That's what they are. That's what they were. Line wreckers, right? Well, Vic,
- 4:00Speaker 2: one of the line wreckers is gone. What do they say? Hey,
- 4:02Speaker 2: we've got this fancy new weapon from the Super Bowl,
- 4:06Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP weapon. Why don't we just run right
- 4:09Speaker 2: up a gut right at their faces?
- 4:11Speaker 4: You know what I would love to see tonight? And
- 4:12Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll emerge, but I would love
- 4:14Speaker 4: to see it. So how many times has Patrick Mahomes
- 4:17Speaker 4: won games? He's like he's the reason Kansas City won, right?
- 4:21Speaker 4: A lot. What if that tide turns tonight and Bo
- 4:25Speaker 4: Nix is the reason the Broncos win? And you know
- 4:27Speaker 4: what I mean by that. Yeah. You know what I
- 4:29Speaker 4: mean by that, right? It's not the defense saving the day.
- 4:33Speaker 4: It's not a 14-10 game or defensive. Bone Knicks is
- 4:37Speaker 4: the reason they win the game.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Dude, this is what I want to see.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Are we going to go through our hardball hierarchy tomorrow
- 4:45Speaker 2: after the game tonight? No, that's... I thought it was
- 4:49Speaker 2: pretty good.
- 4:49Speaker 3: I didn't think it was funny. It got monotonous, but
- 4:52Speaker 3: I did think it was funny. We played well.
- 4:56Speaker 2: And I was the reason we played.
- 5:00Speaker 3: We won the game.
- 5:01Speaker 2: We won the game.
- 5:01Speaker 3: And that's the reason we won.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And then the second thing is, I didn't play well,
- 5:06Speaker 2: but my team still won.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Here's what's exciting to me, though.
- 5:12Speaker 5: I know it's the first week, and there's going to
- 5:13Speaker 5: be kinks you've got to work through and all these
- 5:15Speaker 5: different things. Man, do I want to see a Waddle celebration, though.
- 5:21Speaker 5: I want to see a penguin in the end zone.
- 5:23Speaker 5: If you get just a taste of what Jalen Waddell
- 5:26Speaker 5: can bring to the offense, I really think it changes
- 5:30Speaker 5: so much because you have become, and go through this.
- 5:33Speaker 3: You guys correct me if I'm wrong here.
- 5:35Speaker 5: If we go through this division, which is a very,
- 5:37Speaker 5: very difficult division, the Broncos arguably have the best weapons.
- 5:44Speaker 5: It's not the Chiefs and it's not the Raiders. Who
- 5:50Speaker 5: was the old man speaking on your phone a second ago?
- 5:53Speaker 3: Who's that?
- 5:54Speaker 2: He was doing paper mache about an hour ago.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Next best would be I won. We won and I
- 6:01Speaker 4: didn't have.
- 6:01Speaker 3: A good game. Here's the thing, though. I mean, am
- 6:04Speaker 3: I wrong here?
- 6:05Speaker 5: If I put you in a position where it's like
- 6:08Speaker 5: it's Waddle, it's Sutton, it's Ingram, it's Dobbins.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Just those four. How many of the AFC West can
- 6:17Speaker 3: beat that? Not a lot.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Not a lot, dude. I'm telling you. I think, look,
- 6:23Speaker 2: the way I look at it, the Raiders are not
- 6:25Speaker 2: going to be a factor. The Chargers are a fraud.
- 6:30Speaker 2: This is the start of a battle, I think, for
- 6:33Speaker 2: the division tonight between these two teams, Kansas City and Denver.
- 6:37Speaker 3: That's it. That is it.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Tonight.
- 6:40Speaker 5: I just love just Moj going full Moj. team I
- 6:45Speaker 5: thought would be awesome that I put Ginsu knife.
- 6:48Speaker 3: On the line lost. So now they're the worst team
- 6:51Speaker 3: that's ever existed in the history of football.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Pretty much big time. When that, Hey, look, I don't
- 6:56Speaker 2: want to talk about them, but that quarterback got, he
- 6:58Speaker 2: got to get his head on straight because he's a mess.
- 7:00Speaker 2: He's a wreck.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Bonix. The, um, yeah, the Broncos PR team puts this
- 7:06Speaker 4: out every week. Um, they call it the extra mile
- 7:09Speaker 4: and specific stats that they point out to. And, and this,
- 7:13Speaker 4: Still stuns me to understand this. Since 2024, this will
- 7:18Speaker 4: be Bo Nix's third season in the NFL. In his
- 7:20Speaker 4: first two seasons in the NFL, do you know where
- 7:23Speaker 4: he ranks passing yards among his compatriots in the league?
- 7:28Speaker 4: Passing yards. Just strict passing yards. That's all.
- 7:31Speaker 3: So not for guys in the first two years, just
- 7:33Speaker 3: for quarterbacks in general?
- 7:34Speaker 4: I'm talking quarterbacks. Where does Bo Nix rank first two
- 7:39Speaker 4: years passing yards?
- 7:41Speaker 3: I'd say seventh.
- 7:43Speaker 4: He's fifth. It's Jared Goff, Matt Stafford, Sam Darnold, Baker, Mayfield,
- 7:48Speaker 4: Bo Nix. So when we think of Bo Nix, we
- 7:50Speaker 4: think a lot of us... Do you think of, like,
- 7:53Speaker 4: high-potency passing production? He's fifth.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Can I give maybe a reason why?
- 7:59Speaker 4: I think of being excited.
- 8:02Speaker 5: I think a lot of that probably has to do
- 8:04Speaker 5: with staying healthy, too. A lot of quarterbacks miss games
- 8:08Speaker 5: in that stretch.
- 8:08Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I cannot believe his ankle gave out, but he's been
- 8:14Speaker 2: there every snap, dude. Every snap. Stidham doesn't even take snaps. Okay,
- 8:19Speaker 2: how about this one?
- 8:21Speaker 4: In his first two seasons as an NFL quarterback, offensive touchdowns.
- 8:26Speaker 4: They could be running touchdowns, passing touchdowns. What do you
- 8:29Speaker 4: think he ranks all-time touchdowns? I know this.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Top of my head, I know this.
- 8:36Speaker 4: All-time in the history of the league. Take a guess.
- 8:38Speaker 2: First.
- 8:39Speaker 3: First. He's second behind Josh Allen?
- 8:42Speaker 4: He's actually third.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Oh.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Behind Justin Herbert, who's number one, Dan Marino, number two,
- 8:46Speaker 4: Bo Nix, number three.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Josh Allen?
- 8:48Speaker 4: So he did not know the answer to that question.
- 8:51Speaker 3: There was something with Josh Allen where he was behind
- 8:54Speaker 3: him and something, something.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Can we talk about it, though? Part of the reason,
- 8:59Speaker 2: and I want to bring this up, but every time
- 9:01Speaker 2: I bring things like this up, then people think I'm
- 9:03Speaker 2: slamming on the kid, but I'm not. Sean Payton, he
- 9:08Speaker 2: uses Bo's arm a lot. I mean, the fact that
- 9:11Speaker 2: he repeatedly in the last two years has gone away
- 9:15Speaker 2: from the run game, and sometimes rightfully so, means that
- 9:19Speaker 2: he has a lot more chances. He has a lot
- 9:22Speaker 2: more pass attempts, therefore more completions, therefore more yards, therefore blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 9:27Speaker 2: But that's not ideally how you want to operate as
- 9:30Speaker 2: a football team. You would like it to be a
- 9:33Speaker 2: balanced attack. It's been anything but the past two seasons.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I think you could do it.
- 9:37Speaker 5: It's just a matter of it's got to be efficient.
- 9:40Speaker 5: It's got to be consistent. It's got to be all
- 9:42Speaker 5: these different things that it really hasn't been over the
- 9:44Speaker 5: last two years.
- 9:45Speaker 3: There's been a lot of spurts of great with long
- 9:50Speaker 3: lulls of nothing.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Yes.
- 9:52Speaker 3: And that's been the big problem.
- 9:54Speaker 5: And if Davis Webb fixes that, I'm here to tell
- 9:56Speaker 5: you right now, if Davis Webb does nothing else but
- 9:59Speaker 5: makes you a four-quarter offense as opposed to one-quarter offense,
- 10:06Speaker 5: the Broncos are going to be in the same spot they.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Were last year. They're going to be in the same spot.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I would love to be in the ear to hear
- 10:13Speaker 4: what takes place in a huddle. I just told you
- 10:15Speaker 4: about this Evan Rothstein guy who is the Broncos'– game analyst, essentially.
- 10:21Speaker 4: He tells them what to do in game management situations.
- 10:24Speaker 4: So he's spitting all these stats. Who's doing all the talking?
- 10:29Speaker 4: So Davis Webb, who's he listening to? I'm sure Sean
- 10:32Speaker 4: Payton's saying stuff to him. The person upstairs is saying
- 10:35Speaker 4: something to him. The game management guy is saying something
- 10:38Speaker 4: to him. He has to relay the plays to Bo Nix.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Bo Nix is saying something back. Can you imagine all
- 10:43Speaker 4: the conversations that are taking place in that 20 seconds
- 10:48Speaker 4: before play? That's got to be chaos.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Yeah, who do you ignore, right? Or at least brush
- 10:57Speaker 3: off to the side for a second. That's the other thing, too.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I want to see how stressed Peyton looks on the sideline.
- 11:06Speaker 3: We joke about it. I'm not even kidding.
- 11:08Speaker 5: He might still, out of habit, despite not calling the play,
- 11:11Speaker 5: have the play sheet in front of his face like this.
- 11:13Speaker 3: That might still be a thing for him.
- 11:15Speaker 2: He might.
- 11:16Speaker 4: The one thing about Arrowhead that, if you've ever been there,
- 11:20Speaker 4: we sent your boy there. Jake, right?
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:22Speaker 4: He won our contest.
- 11:24Speaker 3: I think he flew out last night.
- 11:25Speaker 4: He won our rock, paper, scissors contest. So, we sent
- 11:28Speaker 4: him to Arrowhead for the game. Who'd he go with?
- 11:31Speaker 3: His girl.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Is he there now?
- 11:33Speaker 3: Well, yeah. I think they flew out yesterday.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Okay.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Because at Arrowhead, I don't know if you guys are
- 11:38Speaker 4: aware of this, they start prepping for their tailgate. There
- 11:42Speaker 4: were cars in line last night. Last night. When I
- 11:47Speaker 4: was working with Channel 4, we used to go do
- 11:49Speaker 4: our Our game preview, our Sunday show, if there was
- 11:51Speaker 4: a Monday night game, we'd go do it at the stadium.
- 11:54Speaker 4: And the parking lot would have cars waiting in line
- 11:57Speaker 4: for tailgates.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Get the best spot.
- 11:59Speaker 2: The night before. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Especially the first game of the year?
- 12:05Speaker 4: Hell yeah, they're doing that.
- 12:06Speaker 2: It's Monday Night Football, so yeah, but you're telling me
- 12:08Speaker 2: that for a whatever... Time kickoff in Kansas City. People
- 12:14Speaker 2: are there the night before.
- 12:16Speaker 5: And they hold off until a certain time. I guess
- 12:19Speaker 5: it depends on game time for when they allow people
- 12:21Speaker 5: into the parking lot. But if it's like 9 a.m.,
- 12:25Speaker 5: there's a line of cars.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Well, he's not there. I sure would like to report
- 12:31Speaker 2: on what's going on in the parking lot at Arrowhead
- 12:32Speaker 2: right now.
- 12:33Speaker 4: I sure would. I mean, we got Jake tickets.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Put them to work.
- 12:39Speaker 3: We can get them on.
- 12:41Speaker 4: The guy is drunk.
- 12:41Speaker 2: He's bare chested and banging his chest. Dude, the buffet.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Get him on. The continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I don't need that update. I need an update from
- 12:53Speaker 2: the lot.
- 12:54Speaker 4: I want to know what it's like in KC right now.
- 12:57Speaker 4: So my daughter's flying back. I think she's got a
- 12:59Speaker 4: noon flight. She's got to go back to KU. And
- 13:02Speaker 4: I said, you know, your flight might be full of
- 13:04Speaker 4: Bronco fans who are taking the last possible flight to
- 13:07Speaker 4: go to that game tonight. She's going to wear a
- 13:11Speaker 4: Bronco gear. What's that?
- 13:13Speaker 3: She's... Oh, I see what she's saying. She's here flying back.
- 13:16Speaker 4: She's got to fly back to KU and she's flying
- 13:18Speaker 4: to Kansas City.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Gotcha.
- 13:19Speaker 4: I guarantee you're going to get a lot of people
- 13:21Speaker 4: that live here that are Kansas City fans and a
- 13:22Speaker 4: lot of Bronco fans are going for the game.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Yep.
- 13:25Speaker 5: Reminder to you guys, Final Whistle is just the beginning
- 13:28Speaker 5: after every Broncos game this season. Your favorite altitude personalities
- 13:31Speaker 5: are live with reaction, analysis, and everything that went right
- 13:33Speaker 5: or wrong. It's Mile High post-game live after every game...
- 13:38Speaker 5: on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 13:40Speaker 4: So that game is simulcast, by the way. We are
- 13:43Speaker 4: going to be on Altitude TV and Altitude Radio. Myself,
- 13:46Speaker 4: LG Red is hosting tonight, Lauren Gardner, Mike Sanford, DMACC.
- 13:52Speaker 4: The four of us are going to be bringing you
- 13:54Speaker 4: the postgame show. I'm surprised DMACC can fit us into
- 13:56Speaker 4: his 17 podcast formats.
- 13:58Speaker 2: That he's doing.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Somebody said they counted it out. There were 13 yeses
- 14:03Speaker 3: in that.
- 14:05Speaker 2: It feels like a lot more.
- 14:06Speaker 5: I think he said he had a shirt made. I
- 14:08Speaker 5: want the shirt to be 13 yeses on it, but
- 14:11Speaker 5: you have to have them in font size for how
- 14:17Speaker 5: loud he screams it. So a big yes at the beginning, followed.
- 14:20Speaker 3: By a tiny yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I want a shirt like that.
- 14:25Speaker 6: But then, Brett, on the back, you need, quote, you
- 14:28Speaker 6: got your Justin Fields, baby.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Andy Lindahl. I'm stunned at the reaction of some Broncos
- 14:34Speaker 4: fans when I say beware of this game. And your
- 14:36Speaker 4: reaction is, oh, you're so, you're not a fan. You know,
- 14:40Speaker 4: you get this all the time.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Oh, you know.
- 14:43Speaker 4: I'm going to ask this again. I have to do
- 14:45Speaker 4: this all the time. Do you think I want the
- 14:47Speaker 4: Broncos to lose?
- 14:48Speaker 2: Yes or no?
- 14:48Speaker 4: Do you think I want the Broncos to lose? Of
- 14:49Speaker 4: course you do not. Okay. Do I hope the Broncos
- 14:52Speaker 4: win this game? Yes. I'm speaking out of logic. Beware.
- 14:58Speaker 4: Beware of this game.
- 15:00Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:02Speaker 4: The Chiefs at your own risk here.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Hang on to this for just a second. We'll get
- 15:06Speaker 3: back to it in a moment.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Stick around. Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane. With just Mosher and Nelly. Hi, Steven.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Good talk. Hey, Vic, as we roll on here, again,
- 15:23Speaker 2: we're talking about the concerns you have for tonight's game.
- 15:26Speaker 2: I don't have any offensive concerns at all. Really, my
- 15:29Speaker 2: only concern is... What does the number one pass rush
- 15:34Speaker 2: in the National Football League look like? Sands Cooper and
- 15:38Speaker 2: Sands JFM in the middle. That's really my only concern.
- 15:43Speaker 2: I don't worry about the linebacking core. I don't worry
- 15:45Speaker 2: about the secondary. I don't worry about the offensive side
- 15:48Speaker 2: of the football. I have zero worries in that regard.
- 15:51Speaker 2: That's the only thing. And if it's off by that much,
- 15:53Speaker 2: how much does that affect the Broncos overall as a defense?
- 15:59Speaker 4: I'm going to start by saying again, I hope the
- 16:01Speaker 4: Broncos hang 59 at Arrowhead tonight. That would be awesome.
- 16:05Speaker 4: I hope they walk into Arrowhead with one of these
- 16:10Speaker 4: and just start going to town.
- 16:12Speaker 1: The Broncos should come in here and beat that ass.
- 16:15Speaker 2: All right?
- 16:16Speaker 4: That's my hope. But look past the Chiefs at your
- 16:21Speaker 4: own risk. I've seen enough of these games to understand
- 16:23Speaker 4: that it's going to be a close game. And what
- 16:26Speaker 4: do you think the Chiefs are going to do with
- 16:28Speaker 4: a rookie left tackle? What do you think their game
- 16:31Speaker 4: plan is tonight? They grabbed Kenneth Walker from the Super
- 16:34Speaker 4: Bowl champion Seahawks. What do you think they're going to do?
- 16:38Speaker 2: Student body right, student body right, student body right, student
- 16:41Speaker 2: body right all game long.
- 16:42Speaker 4: They're going to test the Broncos run defense all night.
- 16:45Speaker 4: That's what they're going to do. And I know Mahomes
- 16:48Speaker 4: is going to sit back there and then when it's
- 16:49Speaker 4: time for some play action, I don't care who you
- 16:52Speaker 4: line up a receiver. If you have a run game
- 16:55Speaker 4: going and then you hit them with a play action,
- 16:56Speaker 4: that receiver is going to be open. So all I'm
- 16:59Speaker 4: saying is Beware. They know what they have. They know
- 17:02Speaker 4: what their inefficiencies are. They know what their issues are.
- 17:06Speaker 4: They're not going to try to throw the ball 60
- 17:08Speaker 4: times with a rookie left tackle. It is going to
- 17:11Speaker 4: be three yards and a quarterback with a surgically repaired knee.
- 17:16Speaker 4: The Broncos better be ready to stop the run tonight.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Well, the good news is the Broncos were the second
- 17:21Speaker 5: best team in the league last year, rushing yards per game.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Until late in the season.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Well, you know, Ryan Harris, again, it was great to
- 17:28Speaker 2: have him on. He's going to be on every Monday
- 17:29Speaker 2: at 8 a.m. And he was right. Andy Reid is
- 17:33Speaker 2: a dang fine football coach, gentlemen. And you know what
- 17:36Speaker 2: he's going to do tonight? You know what his mentality
- 17:39Speaker 2: is going to be? And Harris said it earlier as well. Vic,
- 17:42Speaker 2: you're 100% correct. They are going to smash you right
- 17:45Speaker 2: in the mouth with an M-O-W-F mouth. They are going
- 17:49Speaker 2: to run the ball fast. right down your throat the
- 17:52Speaker 2: best they possibly can. It's up to you to stack
- 17:54Speaker 2: that box and get it done.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
- 17:56Speaker 5: They couldn't do that last year. Now, Kenneth Walker's going
- 17:59Speaker 5: to help in that department. But you go back to
- 18:01Speaker 5: last year, it's a big problem why their offense was
- 18:04Speaker 5: not great. You know who the leading rusher was last
- 18:07Speaker 5: year off the top of your head?
- 18:09Speaker 2: I don't.
- 18:10Speaker 3: The Chiefs.
- 18:11Speaker 2: The Chiefs?
- 18:12Speaker 4: God, I don't know. Mahomes?
- 18:14Speaker 3: Kareem Hunt.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 18:17Speaker 2: He's not even there anymore.
- 18:18Speaker 5: He averaged like 3.7 yards per carry.
- 18:20Speaker 2: He was a reclamation project.
- 18:21Speaker 5: So I do think that Kenneth Walker helps in that
- 18:24Speaker 5: department for sure, but it is more about offensive line.
- 18:28Speaker 5: And again, when you're starting an undrafted rookie at left tackle,
- 18:32Speaker 5: I know they're going to help him, but here's the problem.
- 18:35Speaker 5: And this is where I think a lot of this
- 18:37Speaker 5: is going to be on Jonah Ellis tonight. They're going
- 18:40Speaker 5: to look at Benito and be like, that guy's not
- 18:42Speaker 5: going to beat our left tackle all day.
- 18:44Speaker 3: It's also... They're looking probably in the middle.
- 18:47Speaker 5: But if you go and help your left tackle with
- 18:50Speaker 5: Nick Benito, then what do you do with Zach Allen?
- 18:54Speaker 5: And if you're trying to stop both of those guys,
- 18:56Speaker 5: somebody else is going to get a prime one-on-one. And
- 18:58Speaker 5: that's where I'm looking at Jonah Ellis being like, go
- 19:01Speaker 5: earn some playing time. Make people forget Jonathan Cooper exists tonight.
- 19:05Speaker 4: If you can stuff the run, if you can be...
- 19:08Speaker 4: disciplined at the line of scrimmage against the run game.
- 19:11Speaker 4: And that's what scares me about these early season games.
- 19:13Speaker 4: Cause the preseason is, this is an extension of the
- 19:16Speaker 4: preseason almost. Are you physically ready to play football tonight?
- 19:20Speaker 4: Are you ready for a little bit of this?
- 19:23Speaker 3: All right. Enough of your drill.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. So when I, when I have
- 19:31Speaker 2: a drill, I just can't, I do, I do do that.
- 19:34Speaker 2: You gotta make sure you gotta make, it's.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Cause you're a man.
- 19:37Speaker 2: You gotta make sure it's working.
- 19:40Speaker 3: What are the other things you do? It's that tongs.
- 19:42Speaker 3: You got to make sure my tongs are tonging. Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
- 19:45Speaker 5: Right.
- 19:45Speaker 4: The, uh, the TV I put up outside on the patio,
- 19:48Speaker 4: the one that fell down, it came crashing down again.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Find a stud.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Well, you got three right here, Vic.
- 19:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Give me a call. I'll help you.
- 19:59Speaker 6: Wait, so is this the third time? Because I remember
- 20:01Speaker 6: you had two back-to-back crashes. Is this the third time now?
- 20:03Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just not meant to stay up. Stucco's not
- 20:06Speaker 4: holding it. It's not meant. There's nothing. It's not.
- 20:09Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 20:10Speaker 4: I can have the Army Corps of Engineers come out here,
- 20:13Speaker 4: and they would not be able to put this TV up.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Guarantee that's not right. Guarantee. The most blatant lie you're
- 20:22Speaker 3: going to find.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Big time. I just want to get to this damn game, though.
- 20:27Speaker 2: We've been talking about it for months and months and
- 20:30Speaker 2: months and months.
- 20:31Speaker 4: Isn't it crazy?
- 20:32Speaker 2: I just want to get to the damn game.
- 20:34Speaker 3: I told you today was going to be torture.
- 20:36Speaker 4: By 5 o'clock, I mean, for me, it's already the case. Like,
- 20:41Speaker 4: what this game, what these games really represent is who
- 20:46Speaker 4: cares about training camp in the preseason?
- 20:50Speaker 2: Like, who?
- 20:52Speaker 4: The preseason games? What do they matter? What did we learn?
- 20:55Speaker 4: Let me ask you guys something. What did we learn
- 20:57Speaker 4: from the Broncos preseason?
- 21:03Speaker 2: Not really a damn thing, to be honest with you.
- 21:06Speaker 4: What did we learn that you can apply to tonight's game?
- 21:09Speaker 2: What?
- 21:10Speaker 3: That Dallin Bentley can block.
- 21:12Speaker 4: It's a complete waste of time.
- 21:18Speaker 3: I think it's a waste of time for probably us.
- 21:21Speaker 1: For us.
- 21:21Speaker 4: Not for them. Not for them. I mean, listen, don't
- 21:24Speaker 4: misconstrue that. Obviously, you got to go through the process there.
- 21:27Speaker 4: I'm talking about from a informational standpoint, what we're gleaning
- 21:32Speaker 4: from it. I guess I could give you one thing.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Davis Webb runs the offense quickly. And I like that. Yeah.
- 21:40Speaker 3: That's something. Seems to be some rhythm.
- 21:42Speaker 4: But by 6.30 tonight, preseason, training camp, offseason, minicamp, nothing.
- 21:48Speaker 4: It'll mean nothing.
- 21:50Speaker 5: So a couple other things here. We've detailed how, and
- 21:54Speaker 5: sticking with the theme of the offseason being maybe, quoting
- 21:59Speaker 5: It's Always Sunny episode, Science is a liar sometimes. Preseason
- 22:04Speaker 5: is a liar sometimes. Everybody had the Chargers as the
- 22:09Speaker 5: winners of the offseason and bringing in Mike McDaniel. Is
- 22:12Speaker 5: it McDaniel or McDaniels? I don't want to go full
- 22:15Speaker 5: Hastings on this.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel.
- 22:18Speaker 4: You've got to be careful.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Hang on.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Here's the problem. We've got McDaniels. Mike McDaniel. We've got
- 22:28Speaker 2: McDaniels and McDaniels and Daniels.
- 22:30Speaker 5: It's like when somebody hits me with this Stanley Cup final,
- 22:34Speaker 5: but then it's the finals, the NBA finals.
- 22:38Speaker 3: All these S's.
- 22:39Speaker 4: This Andy Reeds is a good coach, man.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Joe Burrow?
- 22:44Speaker 2: Duke and throw. But just get me to.
- 22:50Speaker 3: The damn game.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Hang on, hang on.
- 22:51Speaker 5: Chargers were the darlings of the offseason, and they go
- 22:55Speaker 5: in with this new revamped offense with the Mike McDaniel
- 22:59Speaker 5: touch and put up 14 points against the Cardinals and
- 23:01Speaker 5: lose by 12.
- 23:02Speaker 4: At home.
- 23:03Speaker 3: At home.
- 23:05Speaker 5: The big question here, I think, and I think the
- 23:09Speaker 5: biggest question in the AFC is, Among all else. Because
- 23:12Speaker 5: we know healthy Joe Burrow is going to make the
- 23:14Speaker 5: Bengals better. Healthy Lamar Jackson is going to make the
- 23:17Speaker 5: Ravens better.
- 23:19Speaker 3: What are the Chiefs?
- 23:21Speaker 4: Was last year the fluke?
- 23:24Speaker 5: Or was last year an indicator of the Chiefs maybe
- 23:26Speaker 5: coming back down to earth?
- 23:27Speaker 3: That's what I want to see.
- 23:29Speaker 4: And here's why I think tonight's game is scary. And
- 23:32Speaker 4: I'm always going to be respectful of the opposition no
- 23:33Speaker 4: matter what. I think it's hard to just take a
- 23:37Speaker 4: decade of success. That's what they represent. All that success,
- 23:42Speaker 4: head coach, the quarterback, a lot of people, tight end,
- 23:45Speaker 4: a lot of people in that organization who have enjoyed success,
- 23:48Speaker 4: and just say, oh, it's all gone. You're going to
- 23:50Speaker 4: have moments of, wow, the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.
- 23:54Speaker 4: And then there's going to be moments of, oh, that's
- 23:55Speaker 4: a rookie left tackle. What are you doing? You know,
- 23:58Speaker 4: their secondary has been gutted. They lost their two best corners.
- 24:03Speaker 4: So clearly, on paper, they're not the same team. Both
- 24:07Speaker 4: their corners, they lost three guys in that secondary total.
- 24:11Speaker 4: I mean, Brett, it's like, okay.
- 24:13Speaker 2: And yet the game scares the hell out of me.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Kansas City right now is what's in a hot dog.
- 24:18Speaker 4: And the game scares the hell out of me.
- 24:19Speaker 2: And the answer is, we don't know. You don't know.
- 24:22Speaker 5: To be fair, this, I think, is another benefit for
- 24:25Speaker 5: the Broncos tonight. The Broncos have two wide receivers that
- 24:28Speaker 5: are wholly capable in Cortland Sutton and Jalen Waddle. What
- 24:32Speaker 5: the Chiefs are throwing out there, Legereus Sneed was a really,
- 24:34Speaker 5: really good corner. They traded him to the Titans a
- 24:37Speaker 5: couple years ago. He played 12 games in two years.
- 24:40Speaker 5: His problem is not that he doesn't have ability. He
- 24:43Speaker 5: just couldn't stay on the field. Their other corner is
- 24:45Speaker 5: the dude that they spent the number four overall pick on,
- 24:47Speaker 5: that Mansoor Delane guy. Here's what I know about corners.
- 24:51Speaker 5: Even if they're really good in college transitioning to the league,
- 24:54Speaker 5: it takes a minute.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 24:56Speaker 3: It takes a minute. Unless you're a freak. Like Sertan.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Like Sertan is like the exception of all exceptions to
- 25:01Speaker 3: the rule. It takes you a minute.
- 25:04Speaker 5: I want to see how that kid handles taking a
- 25:06Speaker 5: huge-bodied Cortland Sutton or a speed demon Jalen Waddle and
- 25:12Speaker 5: how that goes.
- 25:13Speaker 2: It's not easy. I mean, clearly. And by the way,
- 25:16Speaker 2: you talk about Snead, and you're right. He's a good player.
- 25:20Speaker 2: He's healthy tonight. Here's what I do know. I don't
- 25:22Speaker 2: know where he's going to be in week seven, but
- 25:23Speaker 2: he's healthy tonight.
- 25:26Speaker 4: Here's why I guess mentally I'm a little scarred and
- 25:29Speaker 4: the Chiefs to me for my mentals, sort of like
- 25:32Speaker 4: the Lakers and my mentals in basketball. How would you
- 25:34Speaker 4: feel tonight if the Broncos engineer an 85-yard drive score
- 25:42Speaker 4: to take a one-point lead and 42 seconds left on
- 25:45Speaker 4: the clock?
- 25:46Speaker 2: I'd feel awesome. How would you feel?
- 25:48Speaker 4: Again, let me relay that information again. They take a
- 25:53Speaker 4: one-point lead. With 42 seconds on the clock.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Oh, that's trouble.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Remember what I just said there? That's trouble.
- 25:58Speaker 2: What are you saying? You're saying the witch is going
- 25:59Speaker 2: to drive him down?
- 26:00Speaker 4: Remember who's on the other side?
- 26:01Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:02Speaker 3: That's trouble. I wouldn't feel great.
- 26:03Speaker 4: I would be pooping. Myself.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:09Speaker 3: I don't know if I'd go that far. But close.
- 26:12Speaker 2: 42 seconds. And.
- 26:15Speaker 2: That's that guy. Hold on a second.
- 26:17Speaker 3: That's him, right?
- 26:18Speaker 2: There aren't many guys where you're... Nick, if it was
- 26:20Speaker 2: a minute 42, then yeah. 42 seconds. If you can't
- 26:24Speaker 2: hang on for 42 seconds and get the job... To
- 26:26Speaker 2: get in the field goal range?
- 26:27Speaker 4: Mosh.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Come on. Are you dumb?
- 26:29Speaker 4: Mosh. Hold on a second. Let me open your brain.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Are you dumb? 42 seconds in the NFL.
- 26:36Speaker 2: To get in the field goal range? You're asking me
- 26:38Speaker 2: if I'd be scared? And the answer to that is no,
- 26:40Speaker 2: I wouldn't be.
- 26:40Speaker 4: Oh... When did dumb disease just.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Because I don't know what... I don't even know what
- 26:46Speaker 2: he is anymore, Vic. I know he's a witch.
- 26:49Speaker 3: He's still really good.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Okay, hang on. I've been saying it all along.
- 26:52Speaker 4: He did it in 13 seconds against the Bills.
- 26:54Speaker 2: I've been saying it all along that this guy... Again, yeah,
- 26:58Speaker 2: you slough off the Chiefs at your own peril. I've
- 27:01Speaker 2: been saying that for months. So I want you to
- 27:02Speaker 2: say on the record... But I don't really truly know
- 27:04Speaker 2: what Patrick Mahomes is going to look like tonight.
- 27:06Speaker 4: I want your dumbness to be... I want it out there.
- 27:08Speaker 4: I want you to say on the record... That if
- 27:10Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes had 42 seconds on the clock, down by one,
- 27:14Speaker 4: you would not fear the results.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Yes, I'd be terrified. OMG. I'd be just so scared. OMG.
- 27:21Speaker 3: You should be!
- 27:23Speaker 5: In much the same way, reverse that scenario and Bo
- 27:26Speaker 5: Nix has the football 42 seconds.
- 27:28Speaker 3: I would feel really good about the Broncos' chances.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Look, I think it's these two teams for the division
- 27:31Speaker 2: this year. I think it's the Broncos and Kansas City.
- 27:35Speaker 2: And I believe in the Broncos. I don't even know
- 27:37Speaker 2: what Kansas City has. So if you do lose tonight,
- 27:40Speaker 2: you put yourself down a game against the team that
- 27:42Speaker 2: you're going to be battling for for the top spot
- 27:44Speaker 2: inside the division. That being said, even if they should
- 27:47Speaker 2: lose the football game, talking about the Broncos, I'm not
- 27:50Speaker 2: going to freak at all. Now, how they lose plays
- 27:55Speaker 2: a big part in that. Again, if they get blasted 34-10,
- 27:59Speaker 2: I'm going to be like, what the heck did I
- 28:01Speaker 2: just watch? What the heck just happened? I will be
- 28:04Speaker 2: saying that. But if they should lose on a last-second
- 28:08Speaker 2: game-winning field goal because the Wits drove them down the
- 28:11Speaker 2: field in 41 seconds with a tick left and they
- 28:14Speaker 2: kicked a field goal, I'm going to be bummed, but
- 28:17Speaker 2: I'm not going to freak out about that.
- 28:20Speaker 5: Again, game tonight. Does that make sense to you? Is
- 28:23Speaker 5: any of this making sense to you?
- 28:24Speaker 3: No, I think it's an incredibly stupid opinion.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Jesus, God.
- 28:26Speaker 5: 42 seconds left.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Up one.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Mahomes has the football. Are you not scared? You're saying no.
- 28:34Speaker 3: That's insane.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Insane. Dude, I'm telling you, dude, I don't know what
- 28:40Speaker 2: he is anymore.
- 28:43Speaker 3: What does that even mean? I'm telling you right now.
- 28:47Speaker 3: What does that even mean you don't know what he is?
- 28:49Speaker 2: So if you're asking me Patrick Mahomes from four years ago, yeah,
- 28:53Speaker 2: I'd be scared. Chiefs from four years ago, yeah, I
- 28:57Speaker 2: would be concerned. You're asking me about Patrick Mahomes and
- 29:00Speaker 2: the Chiefs coming off an 8-9 season, and his knee
- 29:03Speaker 2: blew up. I don't know.
- 29:04Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 29:07Speaker 3: One thing here quickly.
- 29:09Speaker 2: How do you want me to feel? You want me
- 29:11Speaker 2: to be panicked?
- 29:12Speaker 4: No, but I just think you're not being honest. Honest
- 29:16Speaker 4: isn't you're being dumb. I mean, there's not a defensive
- 29:19Speaker 4: coordinator on earth who wouldn't fear Patrick Mahomes and the
- 29:22Speaker 4: ball in his hands at 42 seconds left on the
- 29:24Speaker 4: clock up by one. Not a single coach on earth
- 29:28Speaker 4: wouldn't be afraid of that.
- 29:29Speaker 2: If he's the real Mahomes, then yes.
- 29:32Speaker 3: But Moj, here I guess the point is for me.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:35Speaker 5: With the exception of a handful of teams in this
- 29:38Speaker 5: league that are really bad. like the Browns or something
- 29:41Speaker 5: like that.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Dolphins.
- 29:43Speaker 5: If you give any team 42 seconds with the football
- 29:46Speaker 5: down one and a chance to get in field goal range,
- 29:49Speaker 5: I think you should be scared of that. Because most
- 29:52Speaker 5: teams can execute pretty well in that situation.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Okay, but you're laying out a scenario that's very unlikely
- 29:57Speaker 2: to happen anyway.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Happens every week.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Tonight, I'm talking about tonight. You're laying out a scenario
- 30:02Speaker 2: that's very unlikely to happen.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Why is that unlikely? Why is that unlikely? What are
- 30:07Speaker 3: you saying right now?
- 30:09Speaker 4: Seriously.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Did you watch him?
- 30:10Speaker 4: Are you on medication?
- 30:12Speaker 2: Are you on medication? At the end of the first half,
- 30:14Speaker 2: the Broncos have a third and 18, and the pass
- 30:17Speaker 2: rush comes from the left-hand side, and Nick scrambles out
- 30:20Speaker 2: to his right, and he throws a dart for 20 yards.
- 30:23Speaker 2: The Broncos get Lutz on the field just in time,
- 30:25Speaker 2: and he boots one through, and they've got a three-point
- 30:26Speaker 2: lead at halftime. I mean, I can lay out all
- 30:29Speaker 2: these different silly little scenarios, too.
- 30:31Speaker 3: It's not silly.
- 30:32Speaker 2: It happens every week in the NFL.
- 30:33Speaker 3: It happens all the time. I don't know what you're
- 30:35Speaker 3: talking about.
- 30:36Speaker 4: I honestly got it.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Every game's a one-score game. A lot of games come
- 30:39Speaker 3: down to that exact thing that we're discussing.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Well, let's take a look at yesterday then, shall we?
- 30:43Speaker 2: Let's take a look. Let's just start on Sunday. Six-point game.
- 30:51Speaker 2: One-point game. 13-point game, 18-point game, 7-point game, 22-point game,
- 30:57Speaker 2: 24-point game, 5-point game, 14-point game.
- 31:01Speaker 4: I mean, what are you doing?
- 31:02Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you doing?
- 31:03Speaker 4: You're just digging this hole deeper. What's your point?
- 31:07Speaker 2: I know what happens every week. I understand that. But
- 31:10Speaker 2: I'm not going to take the Eagles and the Commanders
- 31:12Speaker 2: game and superimpose it onto what's going to happen tonight
- 31:15Speaker 2: at Arrowhead. I'm not doing that.
- 31:17Speaker 4: I have this speech with my kids all the time.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Sometimes when you're wrong, it's so much harder just to
- 31:21Speaker 4: say I'm wrong You start digging.
- 31:23Speaker 2: You say, my bad.
- 31:25Speaker 4: You say, hey, man.
- 31:25Speaker 3: This is my bad.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Sorry, I misspoke. I got you. Happens to all of us, man.
- 31:31Speaker 4: It's a one-man job.
- 31:33Speaker 2: You guys are big and fat babies. All right, Grandpa,
- 31:36Speaker 2: let's get you to bed. You guys are big, fat babies.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I'm not a baby.
- 31:40Speaker 5: I think, look, how many times do I got to
- 31:42Speaker 5: say this? I think the Broncos win because I think
- 31:44Speaker 5: the Broncos are better than the Chiefs. I think the
- 31:46Speaker 5: Broncos are better than the Chiefs, too, but I don't
- 31:47Speaker 5: take the Chiefs for granted. But in the scenario that
- 31:49Speaker 5: Vic laid out, yeah, I'd be nervous.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Because I've watched that.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Over and over again. Mojo, would you turn, hey, let
- 31:56Speaker 4: me ask it to you this way. Mojo, would you
- 31:58Speaker 4: turn your television off if the Broncos are up by one,
- 32:00Speaker 4: 42 seconds left and Chiefs have the ball first?
- 32:03Speaker 2: Hell no.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Why?
- 32:04Speaker 2: Hell to the no, no. I mean, according to you,
- 32:06Speaker 2: it's over, right? Hell no to the, no, I'm not
- 32:08Speaker 2: saying it's over, but you're, you're, you asked me if
- 32:13Speaker 2: I would be scared. You said you would poop yourself.
- 32:15Speaker 2: I would not be pooping myself. You think I'm going
- 32:18Speaker 2: to turn it off? Hell no. I'm going to watch
- 32:20Speaker 2: to the very end.
- 32:21Speaker 3: I think you should poop yourself because why?
- 32:23Speaker 2: Common sense.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Common sense.
- 32:30Speaker 2: It's the eating.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I don't think he's eating. I just think he was
- 32:34Speaker 3: right in the mic going.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Common sense. Common sense.
- 32:41Speaker 3: You heard everything inside his face during that. Saliva, snot.
- 32:46Speaker 4: I think you should resign from this show.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Just say, I messed up.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Just resign.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Your mic's off. You turned your mic off so nobody
- 32:55Speaker 3: can hear you.
- 32:56Speaker 2: For the life of me, I can't understand why my position,
- 33:00Speaker 2: why I even have to defend my position. You can
- 33:03Speaker 2: poop all you want. Go poop. I'm not pooping. Poop
- 33:07Speaker 2: wherever you want to poop. Good God. Just because I
- 33:10Speaker 2: don't want to poop like you poop, all of a
- 33:12Speaker 2: sudden I'm the bad guy? You conned me.
- 33:23Speaker 3: And with that, we get one last look at the
- 33:25Speaker 3: game next.
- 33:26Speaker 2: I can't understand why my position, why I even have
- 33:31Speaker 2: to defend my position. You can poop all you want.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Go poop.
- 33:35Speaker 3: I'm not pooping. Poop wherever you want to poop.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Good God. Just because I don't want to poop like
- 33:40Speaker 2: you poop, all of a sudden I'm the bad guy?
- 33:44Speaker 3: You conned me.
- 33:47Speaker 4: That is one big pile of s * * *.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Kick off the Denver football season tonight with Andy Lindahl
- 33:53Speaker 5: at Twin Peaks off Arapahoe. It's Denver KC Monday night.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Great food, drink specials, and prizes, including a signed Pat
- 34:02Speaker 5: Sertan helmet. Join us starting at 6. Twin Peaks eats, drinks,
- 34:08Speaker 5: scenic views.
- 34:10Speaker 3: One thing real quick.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Before you get on to more football, Moj, the Avs
- 34:15Speaker 4: charity golf tournament is taking place today. And we're not
- 34:19Speaker 4: playing in it, which is another, that's another day, another story.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Well, I was going, I mean, I had a spot.
- 34:26Speaker 2: It's the first one I've missed in 20, I don't know,
- 34:30Speaker 2: 25 years, 27 years, something like that.
- 34:34Speaker 4: The fact that we're not playing in this thing is criminal,
- 34:36Speaker 4: but that's another story.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Well, but this is an important show. The Broncos are
- 34:39Speaker 2: opening up the season on Monday Night Football. I could
- 34:41Speaker 2: have done it from the clubhouse. I didn't want to do,
- 34:44Speaker 2: I didn't want to take any chances. I just want
- 34:46Speaker 2: to get it done. I know.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Criminal activity.
- 34:50Speaker 5: I was going to say there's some info coming out.
- 34:52Speaker 4: The information is Joe Sackick has decided, and I'm reading
- 34:56Speaker 4: the Denver Post, Corey Massasack, reporting that Joe Sackick has
- 35:00Speaker 4: decided he will no longer look for a GM. He's
- 35:03Speaker 4: going to do it himself. Yeah.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Good.
- 35:07Speaker 4: You know what that tells me?
- 35:08Speaker 2: I was expecting that.
- 35:09Speaker 5: They intended on doing a search this offseason, and Joe's like.
- 35:13Speaker 2: I got it.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Can I give you my amateur translation of that? Sure.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Joe says, okay, we got enough help. We got some
- 35:21Speaker 4: people in the organization that are going to help me
- 35:23Speaker 4: along the way. Maybe you got thrown a couple extra bucks,
- 35:27Speaker 4: and he's going to stay in that job. Here's a
- 35:29Speaker 4: couple extra bucks.
- 35:29Speaker 2: You do it.
- 35:31Speaker 5: I think he also sees this, and look, this is
- 35:33Speaker 5: me playing, you know, total guesswork here, but I have
- 35:39Speaker 5: to imagine. I think Joe sees the same thing that
- 35:42Speaker 5: everybody else sees. We don't know how much longer this
- 35:46Speaker 5: window is open. with this team currently constituted. Cap restrictions
- 35:50Speaker 5: may be moving forward, maybe a change at coach if
- 35:53Speaker 5: things go wrong this year.
- 35:54Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 35:54Speaker 5: Like a whole bunch of unknowns coming in the future.
- 35:57Speaker 5: I'm going to be the shepherd of this. I'm going
- 35:59Speaker 5: to see this thing through.
- 36:00Speaker 2: They've got some guys around Joe who are highly competent,
- 36:03Speaker 2: including assistant GM Kevin McDonald. He was with the Blues
- 36:07Speaker 2: for forever, helped them build their system, and then, of course,
- 36:12Speaker 2: they won a cup in 2019. He's been with the
- 36:15Speaker 2: Avs for a while now, and he's a really smart guy.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Andrew Cogliano, Joe, has even said that Cogs has been...
- 36:22Speaker 2: We had Joe on the program.
- 36:25Speaker 3: I asked him straight up.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Cogs has been great.
- 36:28Speaker 5: Are you grooming Cogs for this job? And his answer was, no,
- 36:31Speaker 5: he's just, you know, doing stuff and blah, blah, blah.
- 36:34Speaker 5: But it did kind of feel like that was.
- 36:37Speaker 3: It feels like Cox is being groomed for something.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Andrew Cogliano's a smart guy. Smart hockey guy.
- 36:43Speaker 2: So I feel like they're in great hands.
- 36:46Speaker 5: By the way, I wanted to ask you guys this.
- 36:48Speaker 5: There was a message on Instagram yesterday from Nachushkin. He
- 36:51Speaker 5: gave a goodbye post to Denver. Among some things, he said,
- 36:54Speaker 5: Thank you, Denver, the city that became home for seven
- 36:57Speaker 5: years and the place where my two wonderful children were born.
- 37:02Speaker 5: Such and such, blah, blah, blah. Here's my question to you.
- 37:05Speaker 5: Is Val going to be more remembered for the guy
- 37:08Speaker 5: who was a beast on the way to a Stanley
- 37:10Speaker 5: Cup or the guy who missed two postseasons?
- 37:13Speaker 4: I guess it depends on your perspective.
- 37:16Speaker 3: How is he remembered as an Av?
- 37:18Speaker 2: Well, I got to be honest with you. I don't
- 37:20Speaker 2: know that they win the Cup without him.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think they do.
- 37:23Speaker 4: I bet you can also contend they may win another
- 37:25Speaker 4: one with him.
- 37:27Speaker 5: I've been on record as to saying, I think if, look,
- 37:30Speaker 5: I'm not going to argue this with Cale. I think
- 37:33Speaker 5: he should have won the conspice. I think he was
- 37:34Speaker 5: the best player every single night, most consistently during that
- 37:38Speaker 5: playoff or championship run.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Like, I think he was that important.
- 37:43Speaker 5: But there is like, you just disappear for two straight
- 37:45Speaker 5: post seasons and Vicks, right? A player of that caliber
- 37:49Speaker 5: being missing for non hockey reasons.
- 37:52Speaker 4: We'll call it.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Nathan McKinnon will tell you that in 23, the abs
- 37:55Speaker 2: weren't going to win anything. Anyway, he would tell you that,
- 37:59Speaker 2: that they weren't, they weren't going to win in 23, uh, 24,
- 38:04Speaker 2: they thought they could win, and obviously, you know, it
- 38:07Speaker 2: just– 25, they thought they could win for sure.
- 38:11Speaker 4: You know what we've learned, and I'm not sure if players,
- 38:13Speaker 4: coaches will admit this, but this is just my opinion
- 38:16Speaker 4: from afar. Just how difficult it is to repeat in
- 38:20Speaker 4: these sports, in sports in general. The abs in 22
- 38:25Speaker 4: showing that fight, that hunger, that desire, and then obviously
- 38:29Speaker 4: fell short in 23. Same could be said for the
- 38:32Speaker 4: Nuggets in 23, showing that fight, that passion, that heart,
- 38:35Speaker 4: and then falling short with a 20-point lead in Game
- 38:38Speaker 4: 7 at home the following year. I think you just
- 38:42Speaker 4: lose something. I think whatever that is, it's special for
- 38:47Speaker 4: those teams that can maintain that and do dynasty-type stuff.
- 38:50Speaker 2: Which is why it was so amazing, Vic, that the
- 38:53Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs did it so long and did it
- 38:55Speaker 2: so much. I mean, it's hard to maintain that Not
- 39:00Speaker 2: only the mental and the physical side of things. Keep
- 39:02Speaker 2: the body in shape when you're playing so much sport. Yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 2: but the mental aspect of it, the want to, the fire.
- 39:08Speaker 2: And again, I quote tweeted a thing from Harrison Wynn
- 39:11Speaker 2: when he talked to Aaron Gordon yesterday. How he did
- 39:15Speaker 2: a lot of soul searching this offseason and his mind
- 39:17Speaker 2: is good, his body is good. And I'm like, please, please.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes, again, it takes a toll. These are
- 39:24Speaker 2: well-paid guys. I get all of that. But they're still
- 39:27Speaker 2: human beings. And sometimes you just need that... mental and
- 39:30Speaker 2: physical reset, which is maybe what Kansas City has done.
- 39:34Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 39:34Speaker 2: I don't know what to expect out of them tonight.
- 39:36Speaker 5: One last football thing here before we get one last
- 39:38Speaker 5: look at the Broncos and something that annoys me every year,
- 39:41Speaker 5: and it's the first week of the NFL season, so
- 39:43Speaker 5: I was annoyed again.
- 39:44Speaker 3: It ended up not mattering, but this play.
- 39:49Speaker 5: In the Sunday night game, touchdown to Javante Williams, trying
- 39:52Speaker 5: to cut it down to a touchdown, right?
- 39:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:54Speaker 5: And then he gets the taunting call right there. And
- 39:57Speaker 5: I just am like, what are we doing with taunting?
- 39:58Speaker 5: So can you pause this for a second, Nelly?
- 40:00Speaker 3: Pause.
- 40:01Speaker 6: What?
- 40:01Speaker 4: No, I agree with you. I agree wholeheartedly. It's just dumb.
- 40:05Speaker 3: You can't throw a flag for hurting somebody's feelings.
- 40:07Speaker 5: And what happened was it pushed the extra point back
- 40:10Speaker 5: 15 yards. Aubrey misses, and now they're down eight instead
- 40:13Speaker 5: of seven. Again, game ended 28 to 20, so it
- 40:15Speaker 5: doesn't matter. But I hate that that's even an option
- 40:18Speaker 5: to mess with a game.
- 40:19Speaker 4: It wasn't even that crazy. He showed him the football.
- 40:22Speaker 4: It's not like he grabbed it and stuck it in
- 40:25Speaker 4: his face.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Who was it?
- 40:27Speaker 4: Was it Priest Holmes?
- 40:28Speaker 5: Was it Priest Holmes did that before scoring a touchdown
- 40:30Speaker 5: all the time where he'd throw the ball back this
- 40:32Speaker 5: way over the goal line?
- 40:33Speaker 3: You guys know what I'm talking about?
- 40:35Speaker 4: Well, I mean, heck, Tyreek Hill did backflips into the
- 40:37Speaker 4: end zone. True.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Well, he did the deuces, which I still think is
- 40:40Speaker 2: one of the greatest things of all time.
- 40:41Speaker 3: But that's taunting now.
- 40:43Speaker 2: But why?
- 40:44Speaker 3: I'm faster than you.
- 40:46Speaker 4: Bye.
- 40:46Speaker 3: He's like, late. Now, hang on.
- 40:48Speaker 4: Hang on, Nelly.
- 40:48Speaker 3: Don't lose this yet, because there's one other thing. Can you... Oh, sorry.
- 40:52Speaker 5: Can you fast forward to the 35th second of that video?
- 40:55Speaker 5: Because I have another question about this, about Brian Schottenheimer.
- 40:59Speaker 5: Cowboys head coach.
- 40:59Speaker 4: The 35th second?
- 41:01Speaker 2: No, give me the biggest risk.
- 41:02Speaker 3: All right, go ahead.
- 41:02Speaker 2: That's the biggest risk I ever took right here.
- 41:05Speaker 3: How many utensils we need in our advisor here? What's
- 41:07Speaker 3: going on? We got a pen. We got a marker.
- 41:10Speaker 3: We got a red pen. We got a pencil. A
- 41:12Speaker 3: mechanical pencil.
- 41:13Speaker 2: So you got basically a red highlighter. You've got a
- 41:17Speaker 2: mechanical pencil, and you've got a ballpoint pen.
- 41:19Speaker 3: What are we doing here?
- 41:20Speaker 6: And that's different. Earlier in the game, you remember he
- 41:22Speaker 6: had a separate set of writing implements. I think he
- 41:24Speaker 6: had a yellow highlighter in there at some point. So
- 41:26Speaker 6: he must have swapped them out at halftime.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Let me tell you something right now. It's the biggest
- 41:31Speaker 3: risk you've ever taken in my life is this man
- 41:33Speaker 3: right here.
- 41:33Speaker 5: For all you say, don't take a risk.
- 41:38Speaker 2: That still kills me. And, dude, I mean, I'm not
- 41:40Speaker 2: talking about the walls come crumbling down after week number one, but, boy,
- 41:46Speaker 2: did I hear a lot of lovey-dovey Cowboys talk yesterday. Boy, Vic,
- 41:51Speaker 2: did I hear all throughout the morning on every show,
- 41:55Speaker 2: and I listened to the NFL Network on SiriusXM, oh,
- 41:59Speaker 2: Cowboys this and Cowboys that, and Cowboy, Cowboy, Cowboy, Cowboy, Cowboy.
- 42:04Speaker 3: That should not be a penalty, by the way.
- 42:05Speaker 5: This extending the ball, faking like somebody can knock it
- 42:08Speaker 5: out of his hands, that's nothing.
- 42:09Speaker 3: That's nothing.
- 42:10Speaker 5: I will say this a million more times until I die.
- 42:15Speaker 5: There should be no punishment for attempting to hurt somebody's
- 42:19Speaker 5: feelings in the NFL. They wear guardian caps because their
- 42:23Speaker 5: brains rattle around inside their skulls. You can take a
- 42:27Speaker 5: bleep you every once.
- 42:27Speaker 4: In a while. I totally agree with you, especially in football.
- 42:30Speaker 4: Can you imagine if we were fined for hurting each
- 42:32Speaker 4: other's feelings?
- 42:35Speaker 2: I mean, most... You guys would be broke. Because you
- 42:40Speaker 2: try to hurt my feelings every single day.
- 42:44Speaker 5: The very famous line on this show, I don't know
- 42:46Speaker 5: how insulting means it's going to make this segment any better.
- 42:49Speaker 3: It does, though.
- 42:50Speaker 4: It does every time.
- 42:52Speaker 3: It's the entire formula to the show.
- 42:53Speaker 2: I don't know how insulting means it's going to make
- 42:55Speaker 2: this a better segment.
- 42:56Speaker 3: E equals MC squared. For Mosher Lombardi-Cain, it's make fun
- 43:00Speaker 3: of Mosher, and then the show works.
- 43:02Speaker 4: You know what's funny about football, too? In football, they say, well,
- 43:04Speaker 4: you can't allow taunting because it could get violent out there. Yeah,
- 43:08Speaker 4: the sport is violent. Oh, you can't because those guys
- 43:10Speaker 4: will start fighting. In football, a fight? When's the last
- 43:13Speaker 4: time a football fight resulted in anything crazy?
- 43:16Speaker 2: This would be the.
- 43:17Speaker 5: Equivalent to me is if peak Conor McGregor was somehow
- 43:22Speaker 5: punished for talking trash before a fight.
- 43:24Speaker 2: You're going to fight each other.
- 43:25Speaker 4: You know, the more I think about it, you're fighting
- 43:27Speaker 4: each other. It's so dumb. It's so dumb.
- 43:32Speaker 3: You got to set example for the kids. No, actually
- 43:34Speaker 3: you don't. That's a parent's job. I'm a parent.
- 43:37Speaker 5: If little baby Jamal Cale is watching the game and
- 43:40Speaker 5: she sees some guy giving double middle fingers to another dude,
- 43:43Speaker 5: I say, you can't do that.
- 43:45Speaker 3: That's not nice. There you go.
- 43:49Speaker 5: But God forbid if in Pop Warner somebody holds the
- 43:52Speaker 5: ball out to their opponent before they cross the.
- 43:54Speaker 4: Goal line, what are we going to do? I did
- 43:55Speaker 4: see something in that Giants-Cowboys game that bothered me again.
- 43:58Speaker 4: So I don't know if you guys saw Pickens drop
- 44:00Speaker 4: a pass in his lap right down the right sideline.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:03Speaker 4: Big time. Big time. It was 14-7. Could have tied
- 44:06Speaker 4: the game. And as soon as he dropped it, the
- 44:08Speaker 4: DB who was chasing, who was beaten, immediately does what?
- 44:14Speaker 4: What does he do?
- 44:15Speaker 2: Yes.
- 44:15Speaker 3: Incomplete side dance.
- 44:17Speaker 4: It just drives me nuts. Like, dude, you got roasted.
- 44:21Speaker 4: You had nothing to do with that drop. What is the.
- 44:26Speaker 5: Equivalent of that in other sports? It just drives me nuts.
- 44:30Speaker 5: You celebrate like you did something when your opponent just
- 44:32Speaker 5: messed everything up.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Oh, but like if a guy misses a wide-open three,
- 44:36Speaker 2: and you're like, no good, no good.
- 44:38Speaker 5: Yeah, if the defender on that play was like crotch-chopping afterwards,
- 44:43Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
- 44:45Speaker 2: It would be like the defenseman falling down, and the
- 44:46Speaker 2: guy gets a breakaway, and the goalie stops it, and
- 44:48Speaker 2: the defenseman gets back up and says, ah, in your face,
- 44:51Speaker 2: in your face. Well, you're the one who blew the
- 44:53Speaker 2: play to allow for the breakaway.
- 44:55Speaker 5: Nathan McKinnon in the gold medal match, gold medal game,
- 45:00Speaker 5: misses the open net.
- 45:02Speaker 2: And Jack Hughes is like grabbing his junk in front
- 45:05Speaker 2: of him or something.
- 45:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I stopped you by giving you a wide open
- 45:10Speaker 5: shot that you missed.
- 45:11Speaker 2: 303-504-0925.
- 45:13Speaker 5: Texture says Pickens looks so disinterested yesterday.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Wow.
- 45:19Speaker 5: That's why I said to all the Broncos fans who
- 45:21Speaker 5: wanted George Pickens, I don't trust him for a second.
- 45:23Speaker 2: He hasn't even made his money yet.
- 45:25Speaker 3: He's on a franchise tag.
- 45:29Speaker 4: Hey, can we get your boy... Can we get Jake
- 45:32Speaker 4: on tomorrow since he's going to the game tonight?
- 45:34Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll give it a shot. We'll give it a
- 45:35Speaker 3: shot for tomorrow. In the meantime, Nelly, fact checker, please.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Nelly monitors the mistakes in today's fact checker. Fact checker.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Presented by Backus and Shanker. Serious lawyers for the seriously injured.
- 45:50Speaker 6: So for those of you who missed it, we broadcast.
- 45:53Speaker 6: High school football on Altitude TV and simulcast on Altitude
- 45:56Speaker 6: Sports Radio. And this weekend, Vic Lombardi was on the call,
- 46:00Speaker 6: and he had an interesting way to describe a one-handed interception.
- 46:04Speaker 6: And I want to play the full clip because at
- 46:05Speaker 6: the very end, Mike Sanford had a banger. He had
- 46:09Speaker 6: a walk-off dinger of his own.
- 46:11Speaker 4: Flora's going to throw.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Flora.
- 46:13Speaker 2: This time it's picked off. One-hand job. What a pick.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Number six with the incredible effort.
- 46:24Speaker 4: Peyton Belger wearing his new jersey number.
- 46:27Speaker 2: The second one-handed interception of the night, Vic. One hand,
- 46:33Speaker 2: thank you, ma'am. Look at that.
- 46:33Speaker 4: Yeah, how about.
- 46:34Speaker 2: That, Vic? The ultimate Freudian slip, but it wasn't a
- 46:37Speaker 2: slip at all for Peyton Belger.
- 46:41Speaker 4: I don't get it. By saying that, why was that
- 46:44Speaker 4: a banger at the end?
- 46:46Speaker 2: Well, dude, you tried because it was great. It was
- 46:49Speaker 2: a Freudian slip, but so-and-so didn't slip. But, Vic, the
- 46:52Speaker 2: fact that you tried to bail yourself out with a wham-bam,
- 46:55Speaker 2: thank you, ma'am.
- 46:55Speaker 4: One hand, thank you, ma'am.
- 46:57Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 46:59Speaker 4: Unlike Sanford, unlike Mosier, unlike Kane, unlike the rest of you,
- 47:03Speaker 4: my brain doesn't go there. I was just referring to
- 47:05Speaker 4: that that job required one hand and one man. It's
- 47:08Speaker 4: a one-hand job.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Vic, not only did your brain go there once, it
- 47:12Speaker 2: went there twice. I didn't even have to bring up
- 47:16Speaker 2: the fact that it was a Freudian slip because you
- 47:19Speaker 2: did it for me the second time. I mean, a
- 47:22Speaker 2: one-hand thank.
- 47:23Speaker 4: You, ma'am?
- 47:23Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 47:27Speaker 4: Like, if somebody holds the door open for you with
- 47:30Speaker 4: one hand, and it's a lady, one hand, thank you, ma'am.
- 47:32Speaker 3: No, no, no, you're right.
- 47:34Speaker 4: I don't understand what the problem is.
- 47:35Speaker 3: If a lady, I got to go to the gas
- 47:36Speaker 3: station today.
- 47:37Speaker 5: If a lady holds the door open for me, I'm
- 47:39Speaker 5: going to say, thanks for the one-hand job.
- 47:42Speaker 2: One hand, thank you, ma'am.
- 47:47Speaker 3: And with that, go Broncos tonight, morning sprint next.
