3-25-26 Hour 3 - Avs returning to usual line combos/Keys to the Nugs game/Competitive imbalance · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardy and Kine on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: All right, just quickly, here, vick I found it. It
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: was James Franklin when he was the coach at Vanderbilt
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: back in twenty twelve. He had a radio show and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: he said, I've been saying it for a long time.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: his wife. If she looks the part and she's a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: D one recruit, then you got a chance to get hired.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That's part of the deal. He then had to apologize
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: for saying that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: You think.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Tears. It's his philosophy. And again he's the judge. I suppose.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Now to the games last night. The interesting thing the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Avs win. They win six to two. They went pretty easy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: They're up four to one after the first. But here's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: betting Oar postgame, and this starts the question about Wedgwood.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: He was outstanding. Yeah, sloppy game from us. I just
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: like we capitalized on some like made some nice plays
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: to score some goals, but we also beat up the
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: puck quite a bit and had some turnovers, and you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: when we did that, Wedge made some big saves. It's
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: just that simple. He was I think he was our
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: best player tonight, you know, So we'll take it. It
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: certainly wasn't a game or the performance that we're looking for,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: but it's certainly the result we're looking for.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got the win, and equally as importantly, Dallas lost again.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You now have a seven point lead on Dallas with
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a game in hand against them. If you continue to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: take care of business, you can get to that point
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: where you start thinking about resting guys at the end
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of the year, which would be ideal.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You get to that mark where there are four or
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: five games left and you can experiment with your lineup
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and toy with resting players.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And for those who say, wow, that's dangerous, well they
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: did it the year they won the Cup.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I remember that they lost those games towards
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. Yea, and people started freaking
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: out and I'm like, guys, you do understand they aren't
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they aren't really.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Playing, and then they regrouped and just stormed.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that just now, getting guys back on
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the ice, getting chemistry with your line mates, getting guys
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: slotted in the proper positions, that's the most important thing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And now he did tell us earlier as far as updates,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: didn't mention if anybody like liking him was going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: be back in the lineup, but he did say nick
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Waugh was going to miss He called it sometime. It
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: didn't sound overly concerning. It was kind of like, we're
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: gonna give him enough time to make sure he's healthy
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: for the postseason.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Sort of precautionary. You could afford to do that now
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: that you lead by seven points. Yeah, and you're winning
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and you are just ripe with all kinds of talent.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, dude, you look at this Avalanche roster.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's insane even last night, like they're still missing guys
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: last night, but just to go through it, this is
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: what they trotted out there to start the game, because
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it's crazy. It's Landiscott McKinnon and Natus Ross, Colton brock
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Nelson and Val Parker, Kelly Kadri loc Bardikoff, Drewy Kivy
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Ranta and that's still with Lek and nick Wadi get
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: back in the lineup. So my assumption here, Vick is
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that if those two guys get healthy, Bardikov and tv
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ront are the guys that you have to take out
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of the lineup, you know what I mean? Like the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: other thing here, that's a great problem to have, no kidding.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I want to see if if one of these sports
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: books has this as far as awards at the end
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of the year, because I want to see where Scott
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Wedgwood is in the VESTNA.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: He's not.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: He's not even in the odds. I don't get that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: He's not even in it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: He's not. I looked at one of those who wasn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: even a candidate, he wasn't a top five candidate in
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the odds, and I don't get it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: He is plus twenty five thousand.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. And he's a victim of the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: team's talent. That's that's what happens there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So this is basically a two horse race. It's between
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Vasilevski and Sorokan. Those are the two guys. Vasilevski is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the favorite right now. But hang on a second, you're
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: gonna tell me that now that we're like a full
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: season into this, the leader in save percentage in the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: NHL is Scott Wedgwood at nine to sixteen first place.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: The leader in goals allowed is Scott Wedgwood at two
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to one nine per game. That guy isn't even in
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the remote conversation of best goal in the league. Aren't
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: those the two biggest statistical categories you can have? I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: even in wins. Think about how many games he's split
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with mcay Blackwood. He's got twenty six. It's tied for
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: six in the league. And that's him sharing a lot
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of time with it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of it too, maybe the runway.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You know, he came in when you started the season,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: he was your number two right or one B, whatever
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you want to call it. Yeah, and now he's become
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the one. So maybe a lot of it is the reception.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I know that's offensive.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Again here you are worried too much about these postseason awards.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But he deserves it. I know, I know, I know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: but I just don't think it's topical right now. What's
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: topical is getting this team to the postseason, playing great hockey.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: All that's tough, works itself out. I get it. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that's I mean, Bennard mentioned it yesterday. He's like, Wedgwood
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was our best player. He bailed them out early in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that game. They had turnovers, Galore saves.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when the double minor and then the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: five on three and having Logan and Connor running around
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: there helps. When Gabriel Landeskog plays, they win.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Wait, so is this like, is is the Wedgwood thing
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the equivalent of the NBA's like sixty five game rule.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Now it's like he didn't play enough that he's not
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: gonna be mentioned in this, like he didn't get enough
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: starts because did you see what Kaid Cunningham's agent said yesterday.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's got a really good point.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So here's here's Kid Cunningham's agent. So Caid has appeared
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in sixty one games this year, but he's missing all
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: this time because he's got the collapse lung. So he's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: gonna fall short of that sixty five game threshold for
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: all these these postseason awards or not postseason whatever season
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: long awards. He said, Caid has delivered a first team
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: All NBA season. If he falls short of an arbitrary
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: games played threshold due to legitimate injury, it should not
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: disqualify him from the recognition he has clearly earned over
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the course of the season. The league should be rewarding excellence,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: not enforcing rigid cutoffs that ignore contexts and exception needs
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to be made. Now, I'm sure what he's thinking, Vic
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: is if Kaid Cunningham does and get the All NBA nod,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: he misses out on money, then that's his beef with it,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: which the agent's responsibility to care about stuff like that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, Joker can miss one more game, one more game
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: before he falls at that sixty five game threshold. You
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: think Joker is going to play tonight in every game
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: here on them as much as he can.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, money's at stake.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Have a couple of those games where he plays four
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: minutes and then the bench.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Money's it's to I mean, listen that. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: just think the NBA, when you make these rules, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: have the you have earnest goals in mind.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes exactly right, sometimes.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: You just have to tweak them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, if guy lost a lung, I know, like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: this whole thing was to stop people from sitting out
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: back to the backs. And you know what, people, this whole.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Thing was the Joel Embiid rule. The Joel Embiid rule,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that's what it was.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They made it right after Embid one.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: That's what it was, the Joe Well embiid rule.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But now it's affecting guys with legitimate injuries that keep
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: them from getting to that threshold.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Tommy on the text line regarding why isn't Wedgewood a
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: front runner for the vesina, he says, well, it's the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: optics of being a timeshare goalie. He should call that
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Chuck McDowell. Guy, you want to get rid of your
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: time share, call Chuck McDow.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I've been doing this for twenty years, and now I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: gotta tell you I know how to get you out
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: of time Share. Do you want to win to ves?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Just call his number, Dude.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: That guy sounds like the last person who would be
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: a timesh timeshare expert. Evidently he's very good at it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I tell you how I do. We don't even go
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to court. I go to the guy's house to beat
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the hell out of him for fifteen minutes until he says, you're.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Out of it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Call me. I got rules. I like him. He's certainly
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: better than whatever whatever that one ad is with that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: one guy with the voice, I don't know what that is.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I don't like that voice.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: At all twenty three seventy three offers his opinion on
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: why he's not a front runner. It's a volume of shots.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Wedgwood has only made eight hundred and eighty eight saves
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: versus some of the top goalies. At thirteen fifty four,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: he's not facing the same volume of shots.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So what he leads the league? Love college basketball? Run
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: for another exciting season of college.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Oh see, No, that guy should be the voice of
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: your time share.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, and you know what I think.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: If they flipped roles is perfect.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: No, Greg McDowell, is it Chuck McDowell. First of all,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Chuck McDowell sounds like an earnest fellow. I'd buy anything
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: from Chuck McDowell.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: That's a trustworthy guy. Yeah, he's not gonna run off.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna run off with your money.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I don't trust the guy. You just play.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I trust his voice. Play that again,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Play it again. Love college basketball? You are trusted. No, no, no, no, no no.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: And there's no way that guy talks to his family.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And pressed VIC Trust me. I got a really good parlay.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: You just give me five thousand dollars. I'm gonna put it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: You can't trust that guy. Oh this, get.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Greg McDowell to do a double diperou.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I know that texture that's so perfect. If we get
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what's his name, Nelly Creg McDowell, Chuck McDowell. If we
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: get Chuck McDowell to give us a double.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Deperou, it'll make our week.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of sharing time, it's a double tonight.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Uh the uh. The Nuggets are back at it tonight
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: eight o'clock. The Dallas Mavericks are in town. And before
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: we go down the road to the scheduling snafu, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I know I'm gonna fight people on this and that's fine. Unprepared,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I do want to discuss last night's win in Phoenix.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: They've swept the Spur the Suns this season three and o.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Last night was the toughest of the three. They surrendered
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: an eight point lead with three minutes to play. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the cynic and you might say, why do.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: They why can't they hold a late lead?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the optimists may say they figured out a way
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to win a close game.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: They're now seventeen and seventeen. By the way, is it seventeen?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Hold on? Let me see Dan send it to me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: In these clutch games one possession game with five minutes left,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Denver in the clutch this season, here we go, Oh,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: they're nineteen and nineteen. But in the clutch last night
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: they had a negative rating in the clutch when the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: game gets past the five minute mark, they had a
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: negative rating. So they did not play their best basketball late.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Now they're up three, or they were up eight with
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: three minutes left, yeah, yeah, and they held on for
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: dear life. Yeah yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Why Well, defensively, they're defensive rating in the clutch last
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: five minutes close games is one hundred and twenty five
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: point one, which is the second worst defensive rating in
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: the NBA in clutch games. If you're wondering what concerns
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: me going into the playoffs, it's that, Yep, the number
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: one concern.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: It's not scoring.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Scoring's not.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Scoring's never been a problem with this team. But I
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: also think because they can score so easily that sometimes
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: deep down in the subconscious sometimes you're like, that's fine.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: When we get up on the other side, Yeah, we
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: give up a bucket, we'll make it back or fine.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I really believe that plays a factor. You may think
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I do, because it's so easy on that side. They
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: don't dig in on the defensive side. That rating in
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: the clutch. Guess what it's gonna do. You're gonna lose
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to the great teams. You're gonna you can be at
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a Phoenix with that. You'll be at a Phoenix. You
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: ain't gonna beat OKAYC with that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Do you know? He's really annoying, by the way, really annoying,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: But I God, I would love to have him on
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: this team. Grayson Allen drives me nuts, but he's good.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: He took some shots last night that I was like,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: what are you doing? Why are you pulling up with
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: twenty seconds on the shot clock from forty.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Feet because he can knock those down though I don't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: know is it what He was at one point leading
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the league in three point percentage.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Tell you who doesn't get enough play for them. Who
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I've always admired as a role player is Royce O'Neal.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I thought that forever. I think his game is because
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: he he was in Utah for a long time, right initially,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I think he was part of that Gobert, Mike Conley,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell team and it's like that guy's he's taking
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a really good game, and I gotta see this real
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: quick though. Grayson Allen driving me nuts love college basketball?
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Shot McDowell, did you buy Tom sure because they told
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: you it was a great investment? Time share goalie, next
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: stept Moser sees Wedgwick. Hey, what's up? Time share goalie?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, as I was trying to find this, you want
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to hear something that's gonna blow your mind. Did you
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: know that Cam Johnson is ninth in the league in
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: three point percentage?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: He shoots with accuracy, and you know I want him personally.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I want him to shoot more.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But for as much as people thought that Cam Johnson
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: was having this miserable year, he's ninth in the NBA
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: in three point percentage.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: But how many attempts to see the misery? I guess
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the story is not necessarily what he's shooting is shoot.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he averages four point six per game. I want
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: him at seven or eight. Jamal's right behind him. He's
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: tenth in the league in three point percentage. He takes
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: seven point three. Yeah, just shoot him more. I mean
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Tim Hardaway junior dude shoots seven a game and he's
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: at forty one percent. I'm with you, it's just it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: fun because Cam Johnson. It's like, oh, he's had a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: pretty bad year. It's like, well, he's ninth in the
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: league and three point percentage not all that bad.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I tell you what, he a great second half last night.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: He had zero points at halftime.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, zero?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: What do he finished with fourteen?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Uh? It sounds right, don't get it pulled up right now.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Games with fifteen plus rebounds and fifteen plus assists which
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Joker got the seventeen last night, and both of those
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: categories games this season, Nikola Jokic has had three of them.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: The rest of the NBA combined has had two.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So when I say we become numb with Wookers numbers,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: that's what I mean. It's so ridiculous. He's so good,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: he's so effective, he's so efficient.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: You're bored by excellence with him. It's bizarre. Uh three
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: h three five oh four oh nine two five? Back
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: after this, all right, get the keys to the game
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: in just a little bit, Vic, I have this on
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the soundboard. I don't know what you want to do
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: with this. It's Rick Patino halftime speeches. Is there something
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you wanted to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Do with that?
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was crazy at half time of
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: If you played that today, I want to I want
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to hear how people would react to this. If if
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: if a coach told you this, a modern day coach
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: told you this, or your kid this, how how would
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: you react to his words. I'm just curious. I'm just
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: curious how you're wired and what you would get in response.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: So this is like a documentary following Saint John's this year?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Is that what this is?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha? So this is a I think this is
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like a couple of halftime speeches. But here you go.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Begin and be a basketball player. They did every time
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: you miss a shot, your game to flights.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: We don't care about your misshots. Play defense.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: You guys keep blowing opportunity upon opportunity upon opportunity. You're
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: like children with bad things happening. Instead of thinking it'd
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: be tougher, you wilt. Where is your toughness? Where have
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: you guys been raised that you're so weak nutally that
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: you just give up when something doesn't all right for you?
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Don't you know what adversity is all about. That's the
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: game of life, not the game of basketball. You don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: get down when things go wrong. You're thinking it can
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: cover your whole Life's gonna be adversity.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You are not a feeling it. I don't think there's
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: anything crazy about that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you think when he when he when he when
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: he hit since aid where were you raised? That that
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: can be a little.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Rough. I don't think that anybody. Look, if you're doing
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: that to a twelve year old team, yeah, there's probably
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have with that. I don't think anybody would
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: have a problem with that. For college kids, though, do you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I guarantee there are people that listen to that speech
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: just now that are seething.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I would never play for that coach. I guarantee you.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: They want the soft spoken let's work with the fellas
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: rather than here's how it is. Adversity is part of it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: It's part of it, and it goes back the reason
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I bring it up. Rick Patino makes a great point
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: about weathering the store and how strong mentally are you.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I'll give you a case in point. The Nuggets revealed
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: a horrible hand with the schedule. How mentally strong can
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: you be tonight with very little sleep? When you arrived
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: at home at four thirty am, you probably got to
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: bed at five and you play a second game tonight,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: very much like the game in Memphis. How mentally strong
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: can you be? How can you weather that adversity?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Two things can be true, which is why I want
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: people to understand the difference.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Between the two.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Ay, the strong teams, mentally strong teams, they find a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: way b The fact that the NBA put the Nuggets
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: in this position four times this season, more than any
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: other team by far, is wrong. It's a scheduling SNAPU. Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: they messed up and they're learning things with this new
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: schedule because of the contracts with the national television state,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: these national television networks are dictating this. Sure, that's who's
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: dictating this. The peacock wanted the Nuggets at nine pm
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: last night?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, fine, you want him at nine pm? Great, don't
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: give them back to back or if they have to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: have a back to back, do it later, not not
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the night after a nine o'clock tip. Like, so, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: don't both things can be true. I can.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I can say to you, Brett Kane, what the NBA
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: has done with this schedule is a joke. It's ridiculous,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: it ruins the competitive balance, it's unfair. I can also
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: say to you, be mentally strong.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Weather the storm and especially you know this, It's not
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: like you're playing OKC tonight. I'll remind you, guys, Dallas
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: has won two games in a month. Okay, they've been
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: stacking up l's like crazy. The team's ye. So even
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: with that, I will tell you the Nuggets absolutely should
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: win tonight.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Because guess what, at the end of the night tonight,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: nobody's gonna care about the fact they got in at
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: four thirty in the morning. They're gonna care about the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: final score. Yeah, that's what they're gonna care about. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I understand that I do, but there has to.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Be some layers to this.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And the layer is why four times this season have
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets been subject to this ridiculous back to back
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: situation where they lose an hour and they get in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: bed at four thirty in the morning. Yeah, why, it
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: can be avoided easily. And I hear, all, well, the
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: schedule's complicated. Really, let me go back to that Memphis game.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: So they go to Memphis for Milwaukee because of snow
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: and Memphis, they get screwed out of that game. They
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: spend three days in Memphis for no reason, and what
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: the NBA does to reward them. Yeah, they give them
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: another game of Memphis on the second game of a
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: back to back.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I know, that's ridiculous. It literally like, I hate to
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: go here. They would not do that a thousand the Lakers,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't. Well, the Lakers credit Lebronwick.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: The Lakers played a similar game where they played in
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the Central time zone. One had to travel to Miami
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the next night, lost an hour on the second game
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of back to back and beat the heat. They had
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: to labor through it. But guess what they haven't done
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: it four times like the Nuggets. Yeah, four times. It's
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: four games that can affect the final seatings. I mean
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that's a big deal.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Speaking of let's get to this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza Cheese to the Game. Johnsonado
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Plaza experienced the power of the Plaza when they had
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the keys to performance in style with Ram Jeep, Chevy,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Pwick and GMC and a huge selection of Houston.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: All in one place.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Here's Moa, Sir Lombardy and keys.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Keys to the game eight o'clock tonight, MAVs and Nuggets. VIC.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Well, the key to the game is to get plenty
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: of rest. Somebody alerted us because I guess they see
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: him at school every morning. Nicola Jokich is up in atdam.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: He dropped his kid off at school. He's ready to go.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: No excuses from a basketball standpoint, I'm not here to
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: build in excuses because this is the job that was
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: given to you. You gotta win a game tonight in
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: tough circumstances. Mentally, you gotta overcome it. Do I understand
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: that you're at a major disadvantage.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Hell, yeah you are. But start early.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: If you get into this lull early and give Dallas
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a chance, that can be cost Yeah, get off to
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: the fastest start you can. And you know, to be
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: honest with you, I would love to see David Adelman
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: lean on his younger bench players a little more strong,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: rathering full well, knowing full well that they that a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: rough goal at it play. Some of those younger guys
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: give him some minutes tonight just to give him an
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: injection of energy. Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Keys of the Game powered by Johnson Autoplause, he gets
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: election service and incredible say on Ramjeep, Chevy, Buick and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: GMC all at one location experienced the power of the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. So again, that game is
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: at eight o'clock tonight right here Altitude Sports Radio ninety
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: two five. Just a couple of quick notes from the NFL.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You see that Zach Wilson found a new home. He
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: is now a New Orleans Saint.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: So, so what we're at ten? Now?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Ten?
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: We had this conversation yesterday ten former Broncos quarterbacks who
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: are still in the league.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Joe Flacco also signed yesterday another former Bronco quarterback.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Named the ten. Okay, so we went through this list yesterday.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco. It is uh do we say
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: was ripping still in the league? That the Vikings, Yes, Rippin,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Brandon Allen, Teddy Bridgewater, Drew Locke at six, case.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Keenum, Josh Johnson, Josh Johnson. Yeah, and essentially he's not
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: out of the league yet. Russell Wilson is still going
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: to play football. Yeah, last week checked.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're forgetting one.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Zach Wilson, Russell Wilson abbreviation Joe Flacco, Trevor Simeon.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Trevor Simeon, that's right, yep, Trevor Simmons.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: The other one Teddy Bridgewater.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: By the way, here's the quote from Flacco. Now, remember
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Flacco is like, wa was forty one. I think forty one.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: So he signs in with Cincinnati if you remember, or
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: he's not. He isn't mad about re signing with the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Bengals on a one year deal, but if it was
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: up to him, he can be competing for a starting job.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: He's upset that he's not getting a chance to be
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: a starter somewhere. And what he said was, believe me,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I wish I was a guy somewhere, and I think
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: teams are dumb for not having me be that guy.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Not being one of those guys to sign somewhere, Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: pisses me off a little bit, But at the same time,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I'm very happy to be here in Cincinnati. So he's
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: going to back up Burrow, which if you've followed the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Burrough career, there's a decent chance you're probably gonna start
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: a few games. He's having trouble staying healthy. But is
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Flacco actually surprised that he's not being signed on as
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a starter, Like at this point in his career, he
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: still thinks he's that he feels like a perfect spot
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: duty guy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, is it misplaced confidence? What are you saying
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I loves the game? Well, no, maybe he doesn't want
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: to go home. Well, think about this for a second.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Joe Flacco. I think we can all kind of agree
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Joe Flacco's not starting caliber anymore, right. I mean, he's
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: been in this league since two thousand and eight. He's
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: an old man, forty one years old.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: He went to he started in Cleveland last year, had
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns and six interceptions. He got traded over to Cincinnati.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Then he finished with thirteen and four, which isn't bad.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I suppose I just don't get it. I think, yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it's maybe misplaced confidence here. I don't think anybody's saying
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to themselves, you know what, we got a pretty good team.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: If only we could add Joe Flacco, then we'd be fine.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I like Flacco, like I said, I think he's a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: perfect backup, but still just a very very odd statement
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: that he's pissed that nobody gave him a shot. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of bits of NFL news there. As
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I'm still wondering what the Broncos with this cap space,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: if they're going to do something with this.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I need to know how much ask
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: your computer this how much money is required for a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: rookie draft class given how many draft picks they have,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And that could change if they make any trades during
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: the draft week obviously, but usually how much money is
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: required to sign your rookies because they have to set
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: that aside. They've already redone couple deals to loosen up
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: more money, and a lot of times you're like, wow,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I wonder why they're doing that. Do they have other
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: ideas planned?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: So in this is the example that they gave me
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four. This is the draft in which
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: they had Bo Nix and Jonah Ellis and Troy Franklin
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of other picks I think seven total.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: They said it cost him four point seven million for
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: that draft class.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: That was it. It was four point seven million in
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: effective salary cap space do something. Okay, So based on
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: on seven draft players rough numbers, the Broncos will still
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: have about six.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Million plus to work with here.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Oh more than that more? Yeah, I mean you weren't
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: having a first or third round pick. You only have
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a handlefl.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Eight million, eight million to work with.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: He is probably closer eleven or twelve because they got
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: like sixteen million of cap space right now. Well, I'm
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: just saying, like.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Pig the difference, just trying it. I'm just trying to No,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I get it, I get it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But you get like eleven twelve million dollars you can
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: get a player.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Hey, I want to ask you what you think about
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the NFL Competition Committee, And I think correct me if
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I'm mistaken. I think Sean Payton is on the competition Committee.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I think he is too.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: He is because he's the one that wanted to keep
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: the tush push alive. Yeah, so they're proposing some changes
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: to the rules that they're going to consider next week
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: at the league meetings. Tell me about each of these,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Tell me what you think. That's Number one, permit the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: kicking team to declare an on side kick at any
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: moment during the game.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why they're reserving that just for
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the final two minutes or whatever. I think. If you
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: want to do an onside, do an onside?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Why not? Yeah, totally agree. If I want to do
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: it after the if I want to do it to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: start the game, why not. Right, Well, I mean it
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: can only hurt me if it doesn't work. So I'm
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: saying it's such a low percentage player, you're only hurting yourself.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, and there's no surprise on sides anymore.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: So what's the difference?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: So we agree there? Yes, all right? Number two, eliminate
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the kicking teams incentive to inten actunately kick the ball
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: out of bounds when kicking out from the fifty yard line.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: You've seen this before, right, yeah, where there's sort of
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a flaw in the rule.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Dmac brought this up a couple of times last year,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: where you kick it out of bounds from the fifty
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and they can only bring it back to the is
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: it the twenty something like that? Because whatever it is,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: so eliminate that, sure, I agree. Number three, modify the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: kicking alignment requirements for the receiving team in the setup zone.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: That's when it becomes a bit vague. I don't know
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: what that means.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll pass for not understanding. I don't know what
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: kicking alignments they have right now? Are they just talking
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: about lining up five yards apart?
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, always these bodies smashing into each other
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: when the ball's caught. Whatever, I pass, yea, do what
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: you want there? Number four allow league personnel to consult
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: with on field officials when considering disqualifications for both flagrant
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: football acts and non football acts without being called on
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of work, so they get help from
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: people up top.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Somebody help out the officials. I've never never had a
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: problem with someone helping. Yeah, no skin off my team ahead.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: You want to come and help me with must sprinklers
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: come and help?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, NFL, you want to put that in the rule changes,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: let's go yep. Number five last one for one year
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: only allow the NFL Officiating Department to correct clear and
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: obvious misses by on field officials that impact the game.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Why is involving the game officials represented?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: They're they're talking about. This is protection for no more
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: fail marys with replacement refs. If we don't get our
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: usual referees in there, they will get help on obvious
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: missed calls by guys who aren't professionals.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, but see that seems silly to me, because what
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: if it works, Because even the regular refs they're not flawless.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have some mistakes.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. Yeah, I kind of agree with you.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: They're too proud. Is it come down?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: We don't want to be second guest by a big
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: brother in the sky. I replacement refs are not. It's like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: if you get something obviously wrong, have somebody buzz in
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and correct it. I don't think that should be a
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: one year thing. I think that should be every year.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: What do they call that the sky judge or whatever? Like, Yeah,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: have that guy help. He's got a million TVs around him.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: All right, Brett Kane, I'll ask you right now, if
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: you've got to implement one rule change to bring to
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: the NFL out Heepsisie committee, what would it be easy?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Past interferences are fifteen yards. There's no more fifty yard
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: penalty that exists. There's no more rule yes, and I
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: get it. In doing that, you could incentivize a corner
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: who's been beat for potentially a big touch that just
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: tackle the guy. I get it. I think you could
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: do like a flagrant sort of thing, or if somebody
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: intentionally does that, then it is then it's a spot foul.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: But you can't give up forty yard penalties in this league.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Can't do it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I got one rule change I would love to see
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: move the goal posts back to the front of the
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: end zone, just to see more crashes.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You know what, that is the most striking thing.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Think about how insane that was. Just think about the
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: insanity I'm having. And back then there were two posts,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: not one. Just think about two large posts emanating from
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the ground in the place where you're trying to score
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: at full speed.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, it is less shocking to
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: me to watch people in those old videos playing football
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: without helmets than it is watching people run into goalposts
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: in the end zone. And that nobody thought to themselves,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: maybe we should push this back of it, Maybe we
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: should get this out of the field of play. It's
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the funniest thing ever. Well do you remember it wasn't
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: like in the middle of the field, but the Astros
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: in their place, they had the poll that was inside
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the fence. You remember that. Oh yeah, and so guys
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: running up that hill. I do remember the center field
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: all there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I think that coach is smart enough as coaches would
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: just understand how to use the two posts as an
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: ex a pfender. All right, listen, run a button hook.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: To the left post, circle around it. Just keep running
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: around to the post. We'll find the window. It's like
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: those games that you see at the circus where're gonna
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: shoot the bottles that it's moving. It's like, once you
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: find him in that open window, throw it. I totally agree.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Why did you miss that play? I like the post
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I got killed by a lord pole? So stupid? Uh
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: three oh three five oh four oh nine two five.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: You can listen to us anywhere on the Altitude Sports RADIOAP.

• 33:45
  Speaker 2: It was almost late, vic. I had to get this.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: You're gonna love it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I had to get my sour dough. Look at that?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Look at that beautiful hunk of bread.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yes from the Shockey Family. Yes, good stuff.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Tell you what if you don't react that way for
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a nice hunk at sour dough, you aren't human? Oh yeah.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: A couple questions from the text line. Nuggets second game
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: of back to back tonight, eight o'clock start, Mavericks. We
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: talked about the schedule. Chris on the text line, does
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: the NBA give teams a chance to weigh in on
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: scheduling quirks Yeah, yeah, they do. They don't necessarily react
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: the way you'd hope. But you can call and complain,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: you can voice your opinion. But when the schedule is scheduled,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: you're done. Ye ain't no change in that. Another question,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: why are there any back to backs at all? Well,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: because the schedule, you would never be able to get
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the entire eighty two game season in before April what thirteenth,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: when the play in season starts. Yep. The only way
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: do we eliminate back to backs and play eighty two
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: games is to lengthen the schedule itself. The calendar you'd
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: have to play from October first to July fourth, Thank you. Okay, uh,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: here's another one. Quick complaining about tonight's game. They have
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: plenty of time to rest. Just curiously, I'll ask you
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: this question. If one the lead athlete goes to bed
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: at midnight and sleeps until ten, another elite athlete goes
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: to bed at five am, wakes up, takes his kid
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: to school, whatever, and wakes up at one pm. Are
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: those athletes expected to perform at the exact same level
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: for tip off that night?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I think you would be foolish to think so.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, So when I say they stop complaining. The plane
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: rest is relative, It's relative. How does your body? How's
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: your body affected by the change in time? What's that
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: the sarcadic what's that thing called circadian rhythms? Yeah? What
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the hell is that? What is a circadian rhythm? How
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: is that affected? Whatever that is? And while we're on
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: the topic, and you want to get your blood going
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: before the game, A.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Circadian rhythm is a natural internal twenty four hour clock
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: that regulates the sleep wake cycle, hormone release, appetite, in
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: body temperature.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, will they have the proper hormonal release tonight after
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: getting at four thirty am?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: That I don't know, but it certainly if it affects them,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt about it. Now is an
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: excuse if they lose tonight? No, because Dallas is terrible.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: They should still win.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: But hey, either way, if the Nuggets lose, your blood
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: will be boiling one way or another, which brings me
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to this. Blood donations are needed every day to help
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: patients Colorado. So join y talent in the Nuggets to
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: save lives this March. Schedule your donation at vitalent dot
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: org slash Tenverra Nuggets or any Vitalent donation center during
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: the month of March, and that word is a perfect descriptor.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: A VI Talent Nuggets team is what's necessary tonight. I'm
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: a little sleep a.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Couple things here before we get out. I cannot wait
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: for this month, and so I can stop with your transitions.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I've heard from people say that the transitions to Vitalent
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: have been the pinnacle of the three hour radio show.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: They can't wait for it. I've heard some people say.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: That in your head.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: No, I've had people like stop me on the street saying, hey, yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: I listen to the entire show only to get that transition.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those of us who are wealthy should be promoting
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Anastasia Bell, not Mark Moser. Dude. I also was told
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: that Anastagia Bell got several calls after I did that
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: radio show.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Just a couple of things here real quick. First of all,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I noticed when you were going through those mL or
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL rule changes. None of those involve the tush push.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: There will be no discussions. The tushpush is back. It
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: will probably stay here forever. I'm assuming if it's not
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: banned by now, then it's just not gonna get banned.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: So that's one thing.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the next.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I had somebody text this in multiple times today. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: did not hear this, but he said, when are you
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: guys going to talk about dmac saying let Mims go
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: for a third rounder.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I would never let Mims go for anything right now.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: You're in that window. Why unless you get Unless you
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: get a proven tight end as part of the return.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe, but why would you give up on talent?
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: The guy's the best, He's the pre eminent return man
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: in the game. What are we doing?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this again, this depends on what they
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: see Mims as. Just hypothetically, if you get a third
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: round pick for a return man, that's incredible, return like,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: that's insane. Now, if you value him as both and
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you think he's going to be both a returner and
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: a receiver, different discussion. But it depends on how they
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: value him. You know. I think about the greatest returners
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: that you can think of, like a Dante Hall Vick.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: If you were the Chiefs back in the day, would
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you trade Dante Hall for the third round pick? I
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: think you'd consider it. If that's all he is is
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: a return guy. I mean, you're talking about at best.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Let's really break this down. He's very, very good at
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: what he does in the return game, there is no
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: question about it. But if you just want to break
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: down a simple like statistical sort of look at this.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: As far as punt returns, Marvin Mims took thirty four.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: That is an average of less than two times per
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: game he takes a punt return. Now very effective at it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: He averages fourteen yards per return. He put a touchdown
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: in there, but it's less than twice a game. He
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: touches the ball even on kickoffs. Fifty nine total returns,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: he didn't take all of them. Fifty nine returns on
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a kickoff comes out.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: To what.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Three a game? So you're talking in four total touches.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Let's say, is that worth it if he's strictly a
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: return guy. Just by the numbers, that's all I'm saying.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: You know, there's plenty of teams that are really good
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: in this league that didn't have a super special return guy.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's not important, but when you break
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: this down, is like, you can't lose his return value.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: It's three to four times a game he touches.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: The ball who was the return guy for the Chicago
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Bears those years. That's the Hall of Famer. Yeah, so
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I brought up this whole Mims thing, and Dempsey made
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: a great point last night. He said, well, what if
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Marvin is just Devin Hester? What you know, you try
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: and force him into the offense and it doesn't work
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: for whatever reason.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem they tried with them. Devin Hester was
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: a corner and then he moved a wide receiver and
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: he couldn't do really either of those.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: But Mims is proven, but is good, He's produced. Yeah,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: that's a difference.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: He's not Dante Hall. He's not h Devin Hester. He's
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: not Who's another one who's the due from Michigan, Desmond Howard.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Desmond Howard in the NFL strictly a returner didn't play
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: like really any offense. Those guys don't really exist anymore,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: return specialists. I don't think people like reserving a roster
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: spot for a guy who does just that one thing
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: used to be not anymore.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Uh, Buck Buck, I can't read the rest of your
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: title on Twitch. Regarding the rest thing in tonight's game
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: with the Nuggets, Buck writes in this is stupid there's
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: a difference between rest and sleep. They're getting plenty of
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: rest before the game. If they don't take advantage of sleep,
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: that's on them. Buck, I'm gonna ask you a question.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Game tips off at eight. If you go through your
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: normal sleep pattern, and you sleep the night before, and
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: you go through the will you have a more Will
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: you have a distinct advantage over someone who goes to
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: bed at six am and wakes up at two pm?
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Which body do you think will be more ready for
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: that game that night? Which body? I'll tell you what
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I mean? This serious?
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Am I speaking to third graders? I just here's what people?
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: This is the problem? Who am I speaking to?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Who's the audience right now?
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Hang on, I'll tell you a little.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: I can't understand the difference between the two.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Have you slept? Here's the difference. The difference is these
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: people are not acknowledging the point that you're trying to
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: make that it's a competitive thing. Here's what They's not
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: about feeling sorry for pro athletes making million I don't
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: care about that.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: It's about competitive edge. Balance of the schedule.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: If it's imbalanced one way or another, that's not fair.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: What you say is this is a competitive disadvantage to
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets overall at a very important juncture of the
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: season in the schedule, And what they hear is, why
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: are you feeling sorry for the millionaires that.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Will we let me tell you something. Will we be
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: mad if the Nuggets lose tonight? You're damn right. Were
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: we mad after they lost to Memphis? You're damn right.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I was mad. I was mad because you got to
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: be mentally strong enough to overcome all of that.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, But why do you have to
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: overcome anything?
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Why put them in that situation? If you schedule a
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: nine pm tip off and it's actually tipped at nine thirteen.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: The simple solution is not to give them a back
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: to back. Yeah, it's so easy, that's my argument. I
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: just saw something. By the way, did you know maybe
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: we can start flying like the Nuggets? Do? See what
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: United's gonna roll out next year?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Dude, I saw that, And don't think I haven't made
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: use of that. Have you ever been in those planes
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: where they're half empty and you get the whole road
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: of yourself?
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Come on, so, United said you can starting next year
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: buy an entire row. It's called the United Relax Row.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: It's three adjacent seats with adjustable leg rests that can
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: be raised or lowered to create a cozy, lie flat
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: space if you want to stretch out and lay down. So
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: you also get a mattress pad, a blanket, two pillows.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: If you're traveling with kids, you get a plushy with
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: all of these, a little little stuffed animal thing. You
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: get a stout and a silver medal.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course, you get everything that the Canadian team
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: disposed of they picked them up. You're getting them on
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: United said.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: The relaxed row will be available starting next year on
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: more than two hundred of their seven eighty sevens and
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: seven seventy sevens, each with up to twelve of these
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: brand new rows.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: T're going to cost you? How much is that gonna cost?
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking, Like, as much as that
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: sounds nice, especially like I got two kids traveling twelve,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what that price is forget first class goodness.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I also like, if you're a grown adult by yourself,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: get buying a row and laying down on an airplane.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Grow up, grow up for children. Okay, you can use
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the leg rest, that's fine.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, you've never laid down across all three seats.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't curled up like a little kiddie in
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: an airplane run. But you've never flown overseas either, that's true. Yeah,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: how long this trip was I had? It was like
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: five hours.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, try going to Japan one day, or go to
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Europe and see if you get tired.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Just standing like the leg rest is fine. You don't
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: need to lay down. Nelly Fact Chair.
