- 1:54Speaker 1: a letter to Canada?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Who's it going to Canada?
- 1:57Speaker 1: It says, dear Canada, you.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Dude. The great Alan Collins, the great out Alan Collins,
- 2:13Speaker 2: former guitar player for Leonard Skinnard. He passed away in
- 2:17Speaker 2: nineteen ninety. He lived a tragic life man after the
- 2:20Speaker 2: plane crash and car crash and anyway, what a great solo.
- 2:26Speaker 2: By the way, apparently was Zee Bulliam who came up
- 2:30Speaker 2: with that. I didn't realize that that's really cool.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I want to go back to the stuffed animal.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Let's let's get after that real quick and then maybe
- 2:40Speaker 2: we can put it to bed. I don't know. To me,
- 2:42Speaker 2: I think you should live in infamy because I think
- 2:44Speaker 2: it's great.
- 2:44Speaker 1: You can't. You can't hand somebody like Nathan McKinnon what
- 2:53Speaker 1: we call in the cane household now with small children
- 2:56Speaker 1: a stuffy after he loses a gold medal match in
- 3:02Speaker 1: overtime in which he was on the ice for it
- 3:05Speaker 1: for the game winner or in his case, a game loser,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and think he's going to take that with a smile. Okay,
- 3:15Speaker 1: he looked at that, and again, the idea of you
- 3:18Speaker 1: giving a stuffed animal out to anybody who's a grown
- 3:22Speaker 1: human being adult at the Olympics is one thing. It's
- 3:26Speaker 1: another thing. Say here's your parting gift. We made these
- 3:31Speaker 1: for seventy five cents. You can't get me an actual
- 3:34Speaker 1: something that I would like to take home and display somewhere.
- 3:38Speaker 1: You've given them something that a dog uses, a chew
- 3:41Speaker 1: toy as a texture, says Moser. It's not a dog toy,
- 3:50Speaker 1: it's a collectible.
- 3:56Speaker 2: No, man, it's a h You can't do that to
- 3:59Speaker 2: a grown man. I'm sorry, And it's a it's a dog,
- 4:02Speaker 2: it's a dog toy.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It's the same thing that happened, by the way, when
- 4:05Speaker 1: the women lost. When can't the Canadian women lost in
- 4:09Speaker 1: overtime and they're being handed stuffed animals afterwards. It's I
- 4:14Speaker 1: said this in the appetizer motion. It's like the old
- 4:16Speaker 1: Bill Burd joke where he's at a subway. He gets
- 4:19Speaker 1: to the end of the line. He's about to pay
- 4:20Speaker 1: for a sandwich, and they said, would you like a cookie?
- 4:23Speaker 2: And he goes.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Everything in my childhood just came out when people would
- 4:27Speaker 1: say that as an insult to you, What do you
- 4:29Speaker 1: want a cookie? And I couldn't bring myself to buy one,
- 4:32Speaker 1: and I would have loved to cook it. But you
- 4:35Speaker 1: give you give somebody a stuffed animal after they lose
- 4:37Speaker 1: a like here, take that, you big baby.
- 4:40Speaker 2: This was the decision to do this. Look if you
- 4:47Speaker 2: had a rack of stuffed weasels outside the locker room
- 4:54Speaker 2: that a guy could grab if he wanted to on
- 4:56Speaker 2: his way out to give to a kid Rocknell's did
- 5:00Speaker 2: he did? He get a stuffed a weasel too when
- 5:02Speaker 2: he got his gold medal? Do you know what do
- 5:04Speaker 2: we know? Yeah?
- 5:04Speaker 1: I think everybody gets one? Yes, the Americans did I do?
- 5:07Speaker 1: Remember that?
- 5:08Speaker 2: Let's see you take it home to your kids?
- 5:10Speaker 1: Yes, the winners, the winners did get, Well, take it.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Home to your kids. Fine. Nathan McKinnon doesn't have a child.
- 5:22Speaker 1: His child is his hockey stick.
- 5:24Speaker 2: The time, the timing of the timing of this, I
- 5:28Speaker 2: don't blame him, won bit. I'm not even I'm not
- 5:32Speaker 2: even sure that I don't care if this makes me
- 5:35Speaker 2: a poor sport, I wouldn't refuse it from the guy. And,
- 5:40Speaker 2: by the way, having to be the guy to hand
- 5:41Speaker 2: out the dog toy to the dudes down the line
- 5:45Speaker 2: as they're sitting there with a silver medal, hopes and
- 5:47Speaker 2: dreams crushed in overtime in a gold medal game. By
- 5:51Speaker 2: the way, as a token of our esteem, here's a
- 5:53Speaker 2: dog toy. I would didn't even think.
- 5:56Speaker 1: That didn't even cross my mind. But now that you
- 5:59Speaker 1: mentioned it, most a matt if that was me, if
- 6:02Speaker 1: my job was stuffed animal. Guy right here, come close
- 6:07Speaker 1: to me. Let's pretend that you're McKinnon. You're standing in line.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Here's what I would do. I'd be like, all right, this,
- 6:13Speaker 1: this paper towel is the stuffed animal. Yes, I'm so sorry,
- 6:17Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that I have to
- 6:19Speaker 1: do this.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Sorry, take that head on the way. I would just
- 6:21Speaker 2: be if you're usely apologizing, if you're gonna do it,
- 6:24Speaker 2: at least have like a little girl handing out the stuff. Yeah,
- 6:27Speaker 2: it's not like this is like a sixty year old
- 6:29Speaker 2: dude with a full beard. You're siming right, handing a
- 6:32Speaker 2: plushy toy to to a guy who just lost a
- 6:36Speaker 2: gold medal game in overtime?
- 6:37Speaker 1: What do they call him at weddings? The flower girls
- 6:39Speaker 1: or something like it's gotta be somebody like that that's doing.
- 6:42Speaker 2: If little baby Jamal kale, yes, a cute little baby girl,
- 6:47Speaker 2: is going down the line and handing out cute little
- 6:50Speaker 2: redheads handing out the toys. Okay, that's one thing you can't.
- 6:55Speaker 2: But bottom line is it's just such poor timing time
- 6:59Speaker 2: and place, Olympics time and place. It would have taken
- 7:03Speaker 2: all of me not to turn around and throw it
- 7:05Speaker 2: into the crowd. I know I'm not kidding. And you
- 7:09Speaker 2: can call me a poor sport. You can call me
- 7:11Speaker 2: lack of class. I don't care what you call me.
- 7:15Speaker 2: You just lost the gold medal game in overtime, something
- 7:18Speaker 2: you've strived for your entire life as a human being
- 7:22Speaker 2: for Nate thirty years. I'm sure he's been dreaming of this.
- 7:26Speaker 2: And here's what's and you hand him an effing dog toy.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Here's what's I mean, what.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Are we doing?
- 7:32Speaker 2: What are we doing?
- 7:33Speaker 1: Here's what's really messed up. Nate's the reason that they're
- 7:37Speaker 1: in the game, their game that they played against Finland.
- 7:41Speaker 2: He's the one that scored with thirty five seconds left.
- 7:43Speaker 1: He scores. Ay, everybody's complaining about the high stick thing,
- 7:49Speaker 1: and he might have hit the stick up and then
- 7:51Speaker 1: they say in Bella it was a high stick. Okay,
- 7:55Speaker 1: he finishes it. He gets a Canada in the gold
- 7:58Speaker 1: medal match. That's great, but to have you most the
- 8:06Speaker 1: only thing that's playing through his head is not the
- 8:08Speaker 1: game winner that he scored to get there. It's the
- 8:10Speaker 1: one that he missed in the game, correct, Kay, one
- 8:14Speaker 1: other aside for the game before the game.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Hold on a second, real quick, Brent. Yeah, the eleven
- 8:19Speaker 2: sixty two guys, are y'all making way too big a
- 8:22Speaker 2: deal out of this?
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's insane though.
- 8:24Speaker 2: The reason, but the reason that we're even talking about
- 8:27Speaker 2: it is because Nate's reaction got a ton of play
- 8:32Speaker 2: across the globe, a ton. It's on news sites, it's
- 8:36Speaker 2: on websites, it's on all over social media and so on.
- 8:40Speaker 2: But incidentally, he's not the only one. If you look
- 8:43Speaker 2: at Marshan, you look at Jarvis.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Marshan was miserable.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Now by the way, Yeah he was. He it's too
- 8:49Speaker 2: fast for him. Yeah, that was too fast for him.
- 8:51Speaker 2: But if you look, if you look at every Darcy
- 8:55Speaker 2: Kemper took it with with glee. He didn't play. He's like,
- 8:59Speaker 2: I got a kid, I'll take this home. Great. But
- 9:02Speaker 2: if you look at the vast majority of the Canadian
- 9:04Speaker 2: dudes when they're getting their little stuffed dog there, whatever,
- 9:07Speaker 2: what is it?
- 9:08Speaker 5: What is a stoats named Tina?
- 9:12Speaker 2: Okay, mother, I swear with God as my witness on
- 9:18Speaker 2: my dead mother's grave, if I lose the Olympic gold
- 9:23Speaker 2: medal in overtime that I've strived for my entire life
- 9:28Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there with silver on and you hand
- 9:30Speaker 2: me a stuffed Tina, I swear I'm gonna lose it
- 9:35Speaker 2: on your ass. I'm sorry. It doesn't make me a
- 9:38Speaker 2: bad person in place, I have a time and place. People.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Two just quick knitpicks for the Olympic stuff over the
- 9:47Speaker 1: weekend in hockey one the game before the game the
- 9:51Speaker 1: US and Slovakia, we need to do something like I
- 9:56Speaker 1: feel for a boy Vic because he has a birth
- 10:00Speaker 1: effect which is called being color blind. Right, you can't
- 10:03Speaker 1: have those two uniforms on the ice at the same time.
- 10:05Speaker 1: The Slovakian uniform in the US one. I had a
- 10:08Speaker 1: hard time telling who was who.
- 10:09Speaker 2: It was confusing just watching. You know, even when Canada
- 10:13Speaker 2: played red.
- 10:14Speaker 1: White and blue uniforms with blue helmets for each side,
- 10:18Speaker 1: similar pants. Yeah, even the color scheme, like the amount
- 10:22Speaker 1: of it wasn't the same pattern, but amount of white
- 10:25Speaker 1: to blue to red racial ratio was all the same. Like,
- 10:30Speaker 1: you tell me who the hell is playing for?
- 10:31Speaker 2: Who he is? I don't know, it's a mess. When
- 10:35Speaker 2: Canada played Switzerland, even though the Swiss are red and white, yeah,
- 10:40Speaker 2: I still was like, eh, they need to have like
- 10:43Speaker 2: an all solid in and all white for teams like
- 10:46Speaker 2: this playing against each other, because that is just that's
- 10:48Speaker 2: way too confusing.
- 10:50Speaker 5: And I would argue game by the way, most when
- 10:53Speaker 5: Slovakia started dusting it up, you know, they were they
- 10:55Speaker 5: were down six to two, so they just started throwing
- 10:57Speaker 5: punches at the Kuchucks. I couldn't tell who was fighting who.
- 11:01Speaker 5: It was just an orgy of red, white and blue.
- 11:03Speaker 5: I had no idea who was punching who. Man, a
- 11:05Speaker 5: lot of dudes just punching indistinguishable.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Like, hey, dude, them on your team. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah,
- 11:11Speaker 2: they've got to do something about this. I would argue
- 11:14Speaker 2: that because we're now the Golden medalist for the first
- 11:16Speaker 2: time in forty six years, Yeah, that the classic USA
- 11:19Speaker 2: jersey stays and everybody else has to play off of that.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I agree that should be how it goes.
- 11:24Speaker 2: So whatever it takes Slovakia to redo your jerseys red
- 11:27Speaker 2: or whatever, I don't care.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Here's here's the other nitpick I have. I thought that
- 11:34Speaker 1: the the broadcast, I thought Kenny Albert did a great
- 11:38Speaker 1: job for what I think was like probably most the
- 11:41Speaker 1: greatest stretch of days in international hockey history. Every game
- 11:44Speaker 1: was like overtime, bite your nails down to the stub,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like unreal hockey. But in
- 11:52Speaker 1: both cases, when the US Women's won on the golden
- 11:56Speaker 1: goal and when the US Men's won on the golden goal,
- 12:00Speaker 1: camera work was atrocious. Why aren't we following the people
- 12:03Speaker 1: who scored? They just have this blank shot into the
- 12:05Speaker 1: crowd or it's like some of the crowds jumping up
- 12:09Speaker 1: and down, but a lot of them like aren't American.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I don't know that it's why would you not follow
- 12:13Speaker 1: the person who scored and watch the celebration immediately?
- 12:17Speaker 2: I don't know that. It's the camera people, although at
- 12:21Speaker 2: times it was the camera people. I don't know who's
- 12:24Speaker 2: working the game. I think, in fact, some people from
- 12:26Speaker 2: Denver may be over there working the Olympics and stuff.
- 12:29Speaker 2: But if you're talking about if you're talking about showing
- 12:31Speaker 2: people in the crowd and this, that's all the director.
- 12:34Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like, so I not make a
- 12:36Speaker 1: decision to follow the players who won the game, That's
- 12:39Speaker 1: that's all.
- 12:40Speaker 2: The director, Okay, And I mean, to a certain extent,
- 12:43Speaker 2: the producer.
- 12:44Speaker 1: In the truck.
- 12:44Speaker 2: You're saying take one, that's take camera, take red, take red,
- 12:47Speaker 2: take red right, exactly right. And by the way, that's
- 12:50Speaker 2: that's a hard job.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's an easy job, but that in
- 12:54Speaker 1: that situation twice, when the women won and when the
- 12:57Speaker 1: men won, I didn't see them celebrate until like eight
- 12:59Speaker 1: seconds later.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and I don't know if that's an international
- 13:02Speaker 2: feed that we're you know, because the cameras that you
- 13:05Speaker 2: see and the cuts that are made, I would assume
- 13:09Speaker 2: that they were for our for our audience. But sometimes
- 13:11Speaker 2: it's an international feed that goes to other because the
- 13:13Speaker 2: Finland's doing it, Swedon's doing it, everybody's doing it, right,
- 13:17Speaker 2: So you only have a certain member of a certain
- 13:19Speaker 2: number of cameras in TV trucks, right, Yeah, so whose feed?
- 13:23Speaker 2: I don't know how that works in terms of the
- 13:25Speaker 2: International Olympic type of stuff. But I thought Kenny was great.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I thought Eddie was great, and I thought Boosh was great.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Dude, Eddie is awesome. Eddie's great, really good. So sorry
- 13:36Speaker 1: for like sort of the booger eating media take on that,
- 13:40Speaker 1: but I was just like, what why aren't we following
- 13:42Speaker 1: the celebration.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Some of the camera work though during the game.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I actually kind of hate it when there's a play
- 13:46Speaker 1: like that happens and the first thing they do is
- 13:48Speaker 1: cut to the team that lost, and I'm like focused
- 13:52Speaker 1: on that later.
- 13:53Speaker 2: There there are times there are times when we'll be
- 13:57Speaker 2: in a city and our producer will go, hey, listen,
- 14:01Speaker 2: be a little patient today because we got two cameras
- 14:03Speaker 2: that don't do hockey.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I mean, they don't shoot hockey very often.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Right, we'll wear the hockey. Well, they're doing the basketball
- 14:12Speaker 2: game tonight Acrosstown, or they're doing the football game, or yeah,
- 14:16Speaker 2: they're in they're in LA for the Monday night game,
- 14:19Speaker 2: or or it could be a baseball I mean, let's
- 14:22Speaker 2: let's say you have a city with three games going
- 14:25Speaker 2: on at the same time, and that's happened. They just
- 14:28Speaker 2: get hired. I mean these are freeze or freelancers.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Happens in Denver, that is correct.
- 14:33Speaker 2: So I was watching some of the camera work yesterday
- 14:35Speaker 2: and I'm like, especially the wide shot, I'm like, I
- 14:38Speaker 2: don't know who this is, but like, right, yeah, they're
- 14:43Speaker 2: all kind of all over the place. I'm like, Eh,
- 14:44Speaker 2: they're just they're trying their best. It's okay. But you know,
- 14:47Speaker 2: when you're in the biz, I guess you recognize that
- 14:49Speaker 2: stuff more.
- 14:50Speaker 1: It's just like a team that wins, go to the
- 14:55Speaker 1: team celebrating. That's what you want to say, Dude.
- 14:58Speaker 2: How does your dog do? How does I'm not talking
- 15:00Speaker 2: about the little one, a little angry one, it should
- 15:04Speaker 2: be whatever, talking about the bigger one. How does she
- 15:08Speaker 2: do with toys?
- 15:11Speaker 1: Oh, she's a you give her the toy. There's stuffing
- 15:14Speaker 1: all over the living room. In two minutes, literally two minutes,
- 15:17Speaker 1: and that Squeaker's gone gone.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Yeah, my girl dog Disco disco the discount dog. Yeah,
- 15:23Speaker 2: the smartest animal I've ever known in my life. Of
- 15:26Speaker 2: any species, dolphin, elephant, orangutan. Whatever. This dog can fly
- 15:31Speaker 2: a space shuttle, stout stout, stove, stoad, stoat, stoat that
- 15:41Speaker 2: would come home. That frigging stuff whatever stoat would come
- 15:44Speaker 2: home and she would have its head off. If it's
- 15:47Speaker 2: in at least maybe a minute.
- 15:49Speaker 1: If it's not on the top shelf of something, it's done.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I got this shark my wife and I were on
- 15:55Speaker 2: shopping over the weekend. Actually he was last week. I
- 15:59Speaker 2: got the shark that seemed impenetrable, had a squeaker way
- 16:04Speaker 2: way on the inside of the shark, way on the inside,
- 16:07Speaker 2: barely hear the squeaker was so buried inside this shark.
- 16:10Speaker 2: And the shark's made out of I think teflon. Yeah,
- 16:13Speaker 2: I think gone, dude. She started with the tail and
- 16:20Speaker 2: once she got once she got the tail, worked shark dead.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Shark guts yeah, dude, literally shark stuffing guts all over
- 16:29Speaker 2: the house. And I'm like, this is this dog is incredible. Anyway,
- 16:32Speaker 2: that's what would have happened. I would bring it home
- 16:35Speaker 2: just to give it to the dog to watch it destroyed,
- 16:38Speaker 2: especially if you lost. Yeah, I mean, what are we
- 16:42Speaker 2: Just a word of advice never an Olympic committee, never,
- 16:47Speaker 2: don't give him anything, give a coin, never again, a
- 16:53Speaker 2: stuffed animal to a dude who lost a gold medal
- 16:57Speaker 2: game in overtime.
- 16:59Speaker 1: All those dudes no not taking that.
- 17:02Speaker 2: We can joke and I'm not making too much of this.
- 17:07Speaker 2: It's all over the interwebs. The Team Canada react to, Yeah,
- 17:11Speaker 2: I'm gonna defend our guy. Don't give a grown man
- 17:14Speaker 2: or a grown woman a stuffed dog toy as a
- 17:18Speaker 2: consolation prize.
- 17:20Speaker 1: A bumper sticker would work better.
- 17:23Speaker 2: I would to Malon, and all I got was this
- 17:25Speaker 2: crappy silver metal.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Okay, uh three oh three five four n get back
- 17:33Speaker 1: to the nuggets here and the big problems that they face,
- 17:36Speaker 1: especially late. We'll get to it.
- 17:37Speaker 6: Next outlet, pass over to Melton, Meltin peels off to
- 17:42Speaker 6: the high left side, throws out of it over to

- 17:49Speaker 6: to Horford and the dunk with two hands, and that'll
- 17:53Speaker 6: do it.
- 17:55Speaker 3: It just begs the question about, you know, why guys
- 17:58Speaker 3: sit out sometimes. You know, if you play a back
- 18:00Speaker 3: to back and then we play a day later at
- 18:02Speaker 3: twelve thirty, you know, you're worried about your guys physically,
- 18:06Speaker 3: But I thought our guys had enough energy to win
- 18:08Speaker 3: this game. We just didn't do a good enough job,
- 18:10Speaker 3: Like I said, how we approached it. But these situations
- 18:13Speaker 3: happened to other teams. You know, you get these national
- 18:15Speaker 3: TV games, and they're gonna schedule those regardless of you're
- 18:18Speaker 3: coming out of a back to back or if one
- 18:20Speaker 3: team rested more than the other. It's just part of
- 18:22Speaker 3: the regular season. You know, you're gonna have ups and
- 18:24Speaker 3: downs in your schedule. All thirty teams do. So this
- 18:26Speaker 3: is a tough one for us, But they had nothing
- 18:28Speaker 3: to do with why we lost this game.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Adaman after the game Nuggets lose to the Curry, Green
- 18:35Speaker 1: and Porzingis list Warriors yesterday.
- 18:37Speaker 2: He's not wrong. He's not wrong about that description, but
- 18:40Speaker 2: he's also not wrong about it has no bearing on
- 18:43Speaker 2: the outcome of that game. I'm they had the game, Brett.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They should. It's and it's more than just all of
- 18:50Speaker 2: that that playing at the noon, the whole nine yards.
- 18:55Speaker 2: You gotta find a way through it. End of story.
- 18:57Speaker 2: You got to win that game.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I'm just I'm being honest. You the team is scaring me.
- 19:03Speaker 1: And I said I was gonna make this comparison at eight,
- 19:05Speaker 1: we went a little bit farther with the hockey stuff,
- 19:07Speaker 1: So I'll do it now. The Nuggets have a flaw,
- 19:13Speaker 1: and it's one that has been their greatest asset for
- 19:16Speaker 1: most of this team's current iteration. This core their existence
- 19:21Speaker 1: has always been late in games, we're better than you,
- 19:24Speaker 1: and we know it. They just go full what's his
- 19:26Speaker 1: face Ben Stiller from Dodgeball? If the game's close, guess
- 19:31Speaker 1: what you gonna die because we're just better in this situation.
- 19:35Speaker 1: The Nuggets right now, according to some advanced analytics, they
- 19:40Speaker 1: are in the same ballpark as the Nets and the
- 19:44Speaker 1: pelicansugh in crunch time, two of the worst in the league.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And yet they have like a five hundred record, And
- 19:53Speaker 1: it's pretty remarkable considering how bad they are in those
- 19:57Speaker 1: situations that they have. I think they're fourteen and fift
- 20:00Speaker 1: team in clutch situations this year. Pretty remarkable that they
- 20:04Speaker 1: have that record considering what they put on the floor.
- 20:07Speaker 1: And here's my concern, and it's the same thing I
- 20:10Speaker 1: kind of have with the Aves. So you have something
- 20:14Speaker 1: that used to be their greatest as set, which for
- 20:17Speaker 1: the Nuggets was clutch and for the Avs was power
- 20:20Speaker 1: play special teams that those are their biggest struggles right now,
- 20:26Speaker 1: and you're faced with this, do you change something entirely
- 20:32Speaker 1: about what you're doing. Do you tweak it, or do
- 20:36Speaker 1: you do nothing? Because with the Nuggets, maybe the two
- 20:42Speaker 1: man game that's been your bread and butter for six,
- 20:44Speaker 1: seven years, eight years, whatever, just isn't that anymore. Maybe
- 20:49Speaker 1: teams have kind of figured out how to attack it,
- 20:52Speaker 1: and maybe you got a tweak for the Avs power
- 20:54Speaker 1: play motion. Maybe the old patented mckennon' slingshot play just
- 20:58Speaker 1: doesn't work the way it used to and you gotta
- 20:59Speaker 1: sw that up.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Although Canada did it in the Olympic Games. Did you
- 21:02Speaker 2: see that they did it? Was it was a drop
- 21:04Speaker 2: bas sling shot to McKinnon or McDavid and even mccarr
- 21:08Speaker 2: and they would carry it into the zone and get
- 21:09Speaker 2: set up.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Not working for the Avs though, maybe it'll change. But
- 21:14Speaker 1: this is my question, MOJ. Do you just say, hey,
- 21:17Speaker 1: they're super talented, they're in a rut. They'll figure this out.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Or do you make a tweak and say, oh, we'll
- 21:23Speaker 1: do this a little bit different, or do you try
- 21:24Speaker 1: and change the setup entirely, because what I'm finding with
- 21:28Speaker 1: the Nuggets right now, and this is what's really really weird.
- 21:32Speaker 1: The Nuggets weren't that bad at closing out games when
- 21:39Speaker 1: Jokic and the rest of the starters were hurt. They're
- 21:42Speaker 1: really struggling when those guys are back and healthy. What
- 21:47Speaker 1: the hell does that mean?
- 21:48Speaker 2: It's bizarre, you know, Brett, when I look back, let
- 21:53Speaker 2: me look back to the championship season, You're so right
- 21:56Speaker 2: about this. The ability to close out games, the ability
- 22:00Speaker 2: to say, hey, look it's close here in the fourth.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Let's say there's ten minutes to go. You ain't winning.
- 22:09Speaker 2: The Nuggets were were they not the best at that?
- 22:14Speaker 1: It's the reason why they want a championship.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Right now as we sit here, look at me. They
- 22:21Speaker 2: don't scare anyone, no one. There was a certain sense
- 22:26Speaker 2: of inevitability from the opposition when the Nuggets were playing
- 22:29Speaker 2: their best basketball, when they were winning a title almost
- 22:32Speaker 2: three years ago. Now, a sense of inevitability where look, man,
- 22:37Speaker 2: if we got to be up on these guys in
- 22:39Speaker 2: the fourth, because if we're not a we're gonna lose.
- 22:42Speaker 2: And be even if we're up, we may lose because
- 22:44Speaker 2: they have this innate ability to close games out. Yep,
- 22:48Speaker 2: to suck it up and which and by the way, Brett,
- 22:52Speaker 2: that was completely different from the previous Nuggets teams who
- 22:55Speaker 2: couldn't close anything out. But they found this niche, they
- 22:58Speaker 2: found this knack, They found this thing where teams are like,
- 23:04Speaker 2: what's the most famous line from Anthony.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Davis, Jamal Murray made a shot, Mam.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Murray made a shot. Boom boom, mike drop because it
- 23:12Speaker 2: was like an inevitability, right, like it was going to
- 23:14Speaker 2: happen and they knew it. Yeah, joker fading away on
- 23:19Speaker 2: one foot from forty two feet.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Right, Yep, Jamal Murray made a shot.
- 23:27Speaker 2: All that is gone. It's absolutely gone. They don't frighten anybody.
- 23:31Speaker 2: They don't. You're looking at the Warriors who have those
- 23:34Speaker 2: guys on the floor in the fourth quarter, and they're like, eh,
- 23:38Speaker 2: big deal when you're looking at two all stars, including
- 23:41Speaker 2: the best player on the planet, and the Warriors didn't care.
- 23:44Speaker 2: And by the way, you helped them out by giving
- 23:46Speaker 2: the ball away, not taking care of the basketball, not
- 23:49Speaker 2: treating it like your baby. Look, I'm not asking for
- 23:53Speaker 2: Portland blowout wins. It was a nice recovery in the
- 23:56Speaker 2: back to back after a silly loss to the Clippers.
- 23:58Speaker 2: It was a nice recovery in a big way. Everybody
- 24:00Speaker 2: was making. But you can't go lay a fourth quarter
- 24:05Speaker 2: egg like that. You can't do it.
- 24:06Speaker 1: So in clutch situations, this is defined as games with
- 24:09Speaker 1: five minutes left and the within five points. Okay, that's
- 24:15Speaker 1: how this is measured. The Nuggets in twenty twenty two
- 24:20Speaker 1: to twenty twenty three were sixth in the league and
- 24:23Speaker 1: plus minus in those situations. Okay, in twenty three to
- 24:28Speaker 1: twenty four, they were third in the league in plus
- 24:31Speaker 1: minus in those situations. Last year there were fourth in
- 24:36Speaker 1: the league in plus minus in those situations. What there
- 24:38Speaker 1: are this year in plus minus clutch situations they're twenty fifth. Yeah,
- 24:46Speaker 1: here's the teams that are worse than them. Sacramento, Indiana, Memphis,
- 24:54Speaker 1: New Orleans, Brooklyn. That's who they're surrounded by. It's just
- 25:02Speaker 1: so unrecognizable from what they went they've been in the past.
- 25:06Speaker 1: And if you're looking for reasons why they're gonna lose
- 25:09Speaker 1: in the postseason if they continue this way, it's that
- 25:12Speaker 1: it's not even injuries, it's that mostly won games with
- 25:17Speaker 1: guys hurt. Now you aren't gonna do that against OKC
- 25:19Speaker 1: over a seven game series. You have to have health.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I understand all of that. But if you can't figure
- 25:26Speaker 1: out a way to close games better than this, you're screwed.
- 25:31Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this and I'm gonna be real about it,
- 25:34Speaker 2: and I hope that people listening understand that it's not
- 25:37Speaker 2: just an Aaron Gordon thing. Although that will help a.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Lot of it's defensive, I'm not I know that they
- 25:43Speaker 1: were terrible offensively yesterday. I'm not worried about their late
- 25:46Speaker 1: offense as much as getting stops when they have to.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Well, they were they were bad. Look, they were bad
- 25:56Speaker 2: against the Clippers in the fact that they played no
- 25:58Speaker 2: defense late. It was ola all the way to the bucket.
- 26:01Speaker 2: The Clippers just drove and laid it in on them
- 26:03Speaker 2: all day in all night at the end of that.
- 26:06Speaker 2: But it's not just it's not just an Aaron Gordon
- 26:08Speaker 2: fix or a Peyton Watson fix. It's it's deeper than that.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Now here's what I'm talking about. If you want to
- 26:15Speaker 2: go all the way, you're gonna need Aaron Gordon and
- 26:17Speaker 2: Peyton Watson. Yeah, they're gonna help you fix In the postseason.
- 26:21Speaker 2: But to win a damn game at Golden State when
- 26:23Speaker 2: they're missing their three best players, that's not an Aaron Gordon,
- 26:26Speaker 2: Peyton Watson fix.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Nope.
- 26:28Speaker 2: So it tells you that the and and also in
- 26:31Speaker 2: Clippertown out of the break, the Ola defense to the bike,
- 26:35Speaker 2: this is a deeper problem. What a Christian Brown say?
- 26:40Speaker 2: Do we have any Christian Brown? Comments Christian Brown. He says,
- 26:44Speaker 2: we're not getting to our spots. Well why not? Why
- 26:47Speaker 2: don't you get into your spots? What seems to be
- 26:49Speaker 2: the problem is a confusion. Is it? Is it lack
- 26:55Speaker 2: of want to? Is it hustle? What is it? They
- 26:59Speaker 2: don't seem like quitting out there, no biggest, seem like
- 27:02Speaker 2: they're getting work.
- 27:03Speaker 3: I just know.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I just think it's incredibly unconfident is what they seem like,
- 27:08Speaker 1: which has never been the case before. That they're they
- 27:13Speaker 1: don't feel as if they're in control late in the game,
- 27:18Speaker 1: and that's a huge, huge problem. Turning the ball over,
- 27:22Speaker 1: I think is the peak of kind of what I'm
- 27:24Speaker 1: talking about, confidence wise. You know, that's something that Adaman
- 27:27Speaker 1: talked about too, turnovers.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Because those were huge plays.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Two of them were when we were on a run
- 27:33Speaker 3: you know, in the third quarter where it look like
- 27:35Speaker 3: we were gaining control of the game and they make
- 27:37Speaker 3: this momentum play one day to three. I believe the
- 27:40Speaker 3: other one was a layup, So yeah, I just got
- 27:41Speaker 3: to be cleaner. Overall, seventeen turnovers for twenty four points.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Is not going to do it.
- 27:46Speaker 3: And then obviously only sixteen points in the fourth quarter
- 27:48Speaker 3: due to a lot of mistakes with the ball kills you.
- 27:51Speaker 3: So the better team one today we did not play well.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I again don't disagree with really anything he's talking about.
- 27:59Speaker 1: It's just a matter of can you get back to
- 28:04Speaker 1: what you are comfortable with late in games, because if not,
- 28:09Speaker 1: you're going to have a very disappointing accent. And at
- 28:12Speaker 1: this point, moj I know there's some concern with the
- 28:15Speaker 1: way that the the Avs finished that last stretch before
- 28:19Speaker 1: the Olympic break and the power play obviously being last
- 28:22Speaker 1: in the league. I don't think there's any question who
- 28:25Speaker 1: you have more confidence in right now. Sure as a team, sure.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I don't know how you rEFInd it, Brett, I don't
- 28:31Speaker 2: know how you rediscover what you're missing. And what's so
- 28:36Speaker 2: crazy about sports and pro sports? You have the best
- 28:41Speaker 2: player on the planet on your team. Now you have
- 28:44Speaker 2: another All Star? How are you lacking confidence as a group?
- 28:51Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 28:51Speaker 2: How are how are you lacking that omph when you
- 28:59Speaker 2: at one point you had it?
- 29:02Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 29:03Speaker 2: Where did it go? It's just so amazing pro sports
- 29:06Speaker 2: that even the best players in the world, even the
- 29:08Speaker 2: best teams in the world, Man, they can suffer from
- 29:13Speaker 2: a lack of confidence at times. And when it shows up, Brett,
- 29:16Speaker 2: it shows up in a big way and it's hard
- 29:19Speaker 2: to shake it. Really is. It really is. And by
- 29:22Speaker 2: the way, the schedule, for those who are wondering the
- 29:25Speaker 2: schedule is only gonna get more difficult. This is gonna
- 29:28Speaker 2: be a pain in the tail.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Well, and that's why a game like yesterday hurts so much.
- 29:32Speaker 1: That's a game against a tough opponent. But the opponent
- 29:35Speaker 1: was playing with, you know, a hand tie behind their
- 29:38Speaker 1: back by not playing their best. And that's when you
- 29:41Speaker 1: just can't drop during this stretch because you're gonna drop
- 29:43Speaker 1: games because you're playing against good teams. It's just gonna happen.
- 29:47Speaker 1: So not the ideals start post break for the Nuggets again,
- 29:52Speaker 1: that game overshadows a fifty four point victory against Portland
- 29:57Speaker 1: the night before. It's just pretty crazy. Uh three oh
- 30:01Speaker 1: three five four nine two five. We will get to
- 30:04Speaker 1: Oh by the way in just a couple of minutes.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Stick around Oh by the way. Look at some stories
- 30:10Speaker 1: that might not have come up on your dar, but
- 30:13Speaker 1: I think they should have, including in the middle of
- 30:16Speaker 1: all they should have huh oh by the way. I
- 30:22Speaker 1: know hockey is being played and that garnered most of
- 30:25Speaker 1: the Olympic attention over the weekend. But one of the
- 30:28Speaker 1: scariest things I think I've ever seen. Did you see
- 30:32Speaker 1: Camilla Cellier of Poland. She was doing short track speed skating.
- 30:38Speaker 1: She got knocked down and as she fell, took a
- 30:43Speaker 1: blade of a skate to the eye, which then knocked
- 30:47Speaker 1: her head back and concussed her but split her eye
- 30:50Speaker 1: wide open. Thankfully it missed her actual eye. But my god,
- 30:54Speaker 1: is that terrifying because I've thought about that motion, like
- 30:57Speaker 1: they they get so low to the eyes if they fall,
- 31:00Speaker 1: you're all close to each other. There's blades just hovering
- 31:04Speaker 1: around your face and neck. It's gotta be freaky.
- 31:06Speaker 2: It rarely rarely, rarely, happens rarely rarely, but it can,
- 31:13Speaker 2: and when it does, it looks scary as.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Heck, I mean terrifying. So again, she was okay. Obviously
- 31:23Speaker 1: had huge cut on her face, but it wasn't the
- 31:26Speaker 1: actual eyeball, which I think matters the most. Here's something
- 31:31Speaker 1: else for you, By the way, the this has not
- 31:38Speaker 1: been a huge topic of discussion, although I think it could.
- 31:42Speaker 1: I don't really buy into it. What do you think
- 31:45Speaker 1: about Javonte Williams getting a three year deal that includes
- 31:49Speaker 1: sixteen million guaranteed from the Cowboys.
- 31:52Speaker 2: He played pretty decent for the Dallas Cowboys this year.
- 31:55Speaker 2: He was great, He was great last year. So that
- 31:57Speaker 2: being said, I think the Dallas Cowboys they hand out
- 32:01Speaker 2: money like it's like it's going out of style, man,
- 32:05Speaker 2: because and no offense to Javonte, who I thought elevated
- 32:09Speaker 2: his game after he left the Denver Broncos. It would
- 32:13Speaker 2: seem to me the Dallas Cowboys could get twenty guys
- 32:15Speaker 2: to go in and do what Javonte did.
- 32:17Speaker 1: That's what it seems to mean to have a good
- 32:18Speaker 1: running game. Now. They had like an all world offensive
- 32:24Speaker 1: line for a decade and those guys are starting to
- 32:27Speaker 1: become too old, you know, the Tyrone Smith's and guys
- 32:30Speaker 1: like that that were there forever but Plumbus asked on Twitter,
- 32:34Speaker 1: is dare I ask if the Broncos messed up getting
- 32:36Speaker 1: rid of Johonte? This feels like a perfect sort of
- 32:39Speaker 1: storm of like the classic grass is Greener situation for Javonte.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I don't think it was gonna work for him here,
- 32:48Speaker 1: and I'm happy for his success. I don't dislike Javonte
- 32:50Speaker 1: at all. It just it wasn't working in Denver. He
- 32:53Speaker 1: obviously had talent. We saw that his rookie year, especially
- 32:56Speaker 1: before his knee blew up. But I'm glad he's having success.
- 32:59Speaker 1: I don't think it was a mistake at all to
- 33:00Speaker 1: let it go.
- 33:01Speaker 2: I don't either. Let's go to the Broncos themselves, and
- 33:04Speaker 2: let's go to by the way, how many games did
- 33:05Speaker 2: Javonte play this year?
- 33:07Speaker 1: He plays the most. Let me Seeah, put up.
- 33:11Speaker 2: DeVante Williams played and we played in sixteen to seventeen games. Yeah,
- 33:16Speaker 2: let's say they had JK. Dobbins and Dallas. Would he
- 33:19Speaker 2: be getting a new contract right.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Now if he stayed healthy.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah. That's my point is that it seems like a
- 33:25Speaker 2: lot of guys could fill that role. That's what it
- 33:27Speaker 2: feels like.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, as we continue our trash talk
- 33:33Speaker 1: of Canada today because it's sports hate.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Uh.
- 33:38Speaker 1: US men's hockey team wins against Canada and the gold
- 33:41Speaker 1: US women's wins against Canada for the gold. Canadians men's
- 33:47Speaker 1: curling did win gold, saw that, but not without the
- 33:51Speaker 1: controversy of that extra little tap that both the men
- 33:55Speaker 1: and women got caught doing. Now, I don't know the
- 33:58Speaker 1: ins and outs of curling. I know that this is
- 33:59Speaker 1: ill legal. Once you let it go, you cannot touch
- 34:01Speaker 1: it again. You get has to do with that line, the.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Hog line.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Yes, And here's what happened. And I still this guy,
- 34:11Speaker 1: the guy who was.
- 34:15Speaker 5: The guy VIC should be the one who monitors that line.
- 34:18Speaker 2: I'm always camping hawks.
- 34:21Speaker 1: The guy who was caught doing that, who then blew
- 34:24Speaker 1: up and started cursingwe Sweden, guy, you enough of that
- 34:30Speaker 1: bleep like all that different stuff. When he got caught.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Here's what he said after they won gold. For anyone
- 34:37Speaker 1: who called us cheaters, for anyone who said negative things
- 34:40Speaker 1: about Mark Kennedy, about us, about Canada, and about our families,
- 34:44Speaker 1: I hope that the image of us standing on top
- 34:45Speaker 1: of the podium, embracing one another, smiling ear to ear
- 34:48Speaker 1: with our Gold Medals is burned into your brain forever.
- 34:51Speaker 1: He also went on to say that Sweden intentionally put
- 34:56Speaker 1: a camera there just because they found out you were cheating.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Correct things, So he's blaming Sweden for this.
- 35:02Speaker 2: That is correct. He said, you're not allowed to have
- 35:03Speaker 2: a camera there watching me tap the rock before, I
- 35:07Speaker 2: mean after I let it go at the hogline.
- 35:09Speaker 1: But here's what he's essentially saying, we were so good
- 35:14Speaker 1: at the cheating part that you guys had to put
- 35:16Speaker 1: a camera in there to catch us cheating, Which is
- 35:19Speaker 1: not the brag I he thinks it is. You're you're
- 35:23Speaker 1: admitting you're cheating. I'm actually kind of surprised that they
- 35:27Speaker 1: were allowed to keep playing this guy.
- 35:29Speaker 2: This guy seems like a piece of work to me,
- 35:31Speaker 2: a real piece of work. There's only one curler I
- 35:35Speaker 2: know in the history of Canada curling. Some it was
- 35:41Speaker 2: a woman named Jennifer Jones. Okay, Google or Nelly anyway,
- 35:46Speaker 2: just some some you know Canadian mom that was really
- 35:50Speaker 2: good at currying. I didn't know her because every time
- 35:52Speaker 2: I go to Canada, it's curling is on a lot

- 38:41Speaker 2: It feels like a thistle or so, like some sort
- 38:43Speaker 2: of plant, like it's a goat heead? But they they're
- 38:45Speaker 2: using a goat as the.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, it's just the head of a goat.
- 38:49Speaker 2: Well the one they say like moosehead. Well, there is

- 38:55Speaker 5: The goatthead is a plant and the young green fruits
- 38:58Speaker 5: are edible and can be picked. The seeds were used
- 39:01Speaker 5: as food by Native Americans.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but you aren't gonna have a plant as your mascot,
- 39:07Speaker 1: so it's got to be the head of a goat.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Uh. Oh, by the way, stilled heads.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Remember old Johnny Morton, pass game coordinator for the Broncos
- 39:15Speaker 1: who left to be the o C in Detroit and
- 39:16Speaker 1: then was fired after this year and came back. Well,
- 39:19Speaker 1: you know what job he has now with the Denver
- 39:21Speaker 1: Broncos his past game coordinator again, So he's going right
- 39:24Speaker 1: back to the old gig that he just left. So
- 39:27Speaker 1: the Broncos have that filled again.
- 39:29Speaker 2: As the great Ray Davies once said, back where we started. Yeah,
- 39:36Speaker 2: here we go right much. Oh.
- 39:40Speaker 1: By the way, the Olympics now that they had I
- 39:46Speaker 1: was watching a little bit on the side. It was
- 39:48Speaker 1: during the Nuggets game. The closing ceremonies, I gotta tell
- 39:52Speaker 1: you not for me, the closing ceremonies and opening ceremonies
- 39:59Speaker 1: of the Olympic are just super weird to me. I
- 40:02Speaker 1: don't know what's going on there. There's always people that
- 40:05Speaker 1: are dressed up in super weird stuff. It looks like
- 40:08Speaker 1: vampiristic to me. Like there's it looks like I'm watching
- 40:13Speaker 1: a highly paid and produced ritual in front of me,
- 40:19Speaker 1: and I'm always uncomfortable with it. Wonder when was it
- 40:22Speaker 1: France that had the They had the people that were
- 40:26Speaker 1: in all the makeup doing like they had like the
- 40:28Speaker 1: Last Supper thing, and I'm like, what's going on here?
- 40:30Speaker 2: It reminds me of you remember the uh was it
- 40:34Speaker 2: of Oz right? And this?
- 40:37Speaker 1: Oh oh yes, at all. I'm just trying to figure out.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Why is it, though, that we get so enamored with
- 40:48Speaker 2: the opening ceremonies.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Well, the opening's cool, you like the torch, like that's
- 40:55Speaker 1: that's cool.
- 40:55Speaker 2: And the closing they're like just put stuff out, like
- 40:58Speaker 2: the closing trades, the end of the barbeque. It's like, yeah,
- 41:01Speaker 2: grill's off, beer's gone. But they look I've never been
- 41:06Speaker 2: on Broadway before. I'm not like a theater person.
- 41:12Speaker 1: It just feels very theater to me in a way
- 41:14Speaker 1: that I just i'm too meet headed to understand.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Let me tell you about the time that Kyle Keep's wife,
- 41:23Speaker 2: lovely woman, Dana, lovely woman. Let me say about the
- 41:26Speaker 2: time that she set us up with a Broadway show
- 41:28Speaker 2: in New York City. All of us, me, Connor Reiker, Kyle,
- 41:32Speaker 2: my wife, his wife, blah blah blah blah. She's like,
- 41:35Speaker 2: I got you, give me the give me the bread.
- 41:37Speaker 2: I got you. Okay, we hated it.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not my thing. It's just not my thing.
- 41:46Speaker 1: I don't know, No, I don't know.
- 41:47Speaker 2: There's some good Broadway. Don't get me wrong. I've seen
- 41:49Speaker 2: some really good Broadway shows. My wife is, in fact,
- 41:52Speaker 2: she likes like live theater and Broadway. I don't mind
- 41:55Speaker 2: it at all. The talent is immense. This show sucked
- 41:59Speaker 2: the talent that was great, but the actual purpose of
- 42:03Speaker 2: the show was late. And then my wife goes, so
- 42:06Speaker 2: I got a game. She goes, hey, I'll beat you
- 42:11Speaker 2: at the game tonight, but I'm gonna go to the
- 42:14Speaker 2: Broadway show Mattine Affair. My guy, what are gonnaee? She'
- 42:18Speaker 2: I'm gonna go see the music man. It sounds pretty good.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Uh huh, oh, yeah, I know this, Okay, dope doing.
- 42:28Speaker 2: A matinee show like a Wednesday at noon. Dudes out

- 42:34Speaker 2: get her man.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Oh he's great anyway.
- 42:38Speaker 2: And I missed it because why I had to get escape.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you did.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Of course, last thing for me. Oh, by the way,
- 42:47Speaker 2: you can imagine the top ten college football teams that
- 42:50Speaker 2: are sending players to the combine. We'll talk to Jeff
- 42:52Speaker 2: Lagwall on Thursday Live from Indy go through the usual suspects,
- 43:00Speaker 2: the suspects that the programs that are sending the most
- 43:03Speaker 2: players to the combine.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Oh, Babam, Georgia, Ohio, state right, uh l s.
- 43:10Speaker 2: U Michigan in Miami, not Michigan, not Michigan. Uh Indiana
- 43:15Speaker 2: sending nine by the way, Oh yeah, including Fernando Mendoza.
- 43:19Speaker 2: He's going to the Combine.
- 43:20Speaker 1: He's not throwing though, No, he's gone there for meetings.
- 43:23Speaker 2: You know who's up there? Iowa?
- 43:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Ioa puts out talent man.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Why can't Iowa win football games if they consistently send
- 43:32Speaker 2: the most guys to the.
- 43:33Speaker 1: Combine because they have really really good trench players. I
- 43:39Speaker 1: need I need to ask Maddy Bee what and a
- 43:41Speaker 1: quarterback that has two left feet and two left arms?
- 43:45Speaker 1: Every year they send actually, they're sending nine guys to
- 43:48Speaker 1: the combine.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Eight of those are tight ends.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously, it's tight ends offensive linemen and and defensive players.
- 43:55Speaker 2: So it's it's a wide out here. The notable guys
- 43:58Speaker 2: two oer lines of d be a wide out. Yeah
- 44:01Speaker 2: that's funny, Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
- 44:03Speaker 1: It's kind of what they do. They feed corn fed
- 44:07Speaker 1: offensive linemen and they breed tight ends and then they're
- 44:11Speaker 1: like quarterback, why would I need that? Who is their
- 44:15Speaker 1: quarterback this last year? I gotta look this up.
- 44:18Speaker 2: I don't know anytime the head coach fires his own
- 44:21Speaker 2: kid as the OC You know they got problems, Well
- 44:23Speaker 2: it took them forever.
- 44:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so hang on a second, I need to figure
- 44:27Speaker 1: this out before you get to a break. I have
- 44:29Speaker 1: to so Iowa statistics. I forget this kid. Oh yeah,
- 44:36Speaker 1: it will always looked like Gronkowski to me, But it's Gronowski.
- 44:39Speaker 1: There's no Kanowski Gronowski. How many touchdowns did he have
- 44:42Speaker 1: over the course of a full season passing?
- 44:44Speaker 2: I'm guessing fifteen, ten, ten.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Guess how many yards he threw four over a full season?
- 44:53Speaker 1: Seventeen hundred?
- 44:54Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's pathetic. How could you even possibly
- 44:58Speaker 2: win Big ten football if those are your numbers? They can't. Yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 2: then why are they sending so many guys to the combine?
- 45:05Speaker 2: That's incredible because everything else they have is great, amazing.
- 45:09Speaker 1: It's the same story every year. What was the final score?
- 45:13Speaker 1: Sixteen to thirteen? All right, there you go. That's oh
- 45:17Speaker 1: by the way, back after this
