- 0:30Speaker 2: of course, I mean he's he's a legend. You know,
- 0:32Speaker 2: I think mister Buck needs some more low because I
- 0:34Speaker 2: mean mister Aikman's already you know. Quit. Well said Fernanda.
- 0:37Speaker 2: You nailed it, Thank you, godless back to you guys.
- 0:40Speaker 4: See there it is back to mister Buck. That's that's
- 0:42Speaker 4: the stuff.
- 0:43Speaker 2: I mean. He is.
- 0:45Speaker 4: He is unique and uh yeah, I'll take that. Well,
- 0:49Speaker 4: we'll take the love from Fernando mendos In. And he
- 0:52Speaker 4: says all the right things. Sometimes it's it's very vanilla. Well,
- 0:56Speaker 4: but boy does he think he represents himself really really well?
- 0:59Speaker 2: What a refreshing personality he is. All right, this is
- 1:07Speaker 2: gonna be your new thing, isn't it, Nelly? Your new
- 1:09Speaker 2: thing is gonna I always I arm Nelly with things
- 1:13Speaker 2: that I despise, and that becomes a thing that he
- 1:16Speaker 2: does to me all the time, whether it was Bud
- 1:20Speaker 2: black Weed, whether it's that. I mean, he has a
- 1:25Speaker 2: whole bunch of things in his arsenal, He has a
- 1:27Speaker 2: whole bunch of arrows in his quiver, things I can't
- 1:32Speaker 2: stand that he just wants to pepper me with. And
- 1:36Speaker 2: now I know it's gonna be Foranana Mendoza. I did
- 1:38Speaker 2: watch the entire half that he played last night. I'll
- 1:43Speaker 2: tell you this right now. He I mean, he's good,
- 1:47Speaker 2: he's got he's got a lot of talent. I don't
- 1:49Speaker 2: think there's any denying that. I think he'd be a
- 1:51Speaker 2: fool to say anything else. Now we did have the
- 1:53Speaker 2: pick six yesterday. He's a rookie. He's gonna make mistakes.
- 1:56Speaker 2: But you know, I always I always say, in the
- 1:58Speaker 2: context of rookie Q when they're playing early in their career,
- 2:06Speaker 2: the one thing you want to look for more than
- 2:08Speaker 2: anything else is you just want some sort of I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 2: flash of brilliance on occasion is the best way I
- 2:21Speaker 2: can put it. And I think that's what you've gotten
- 2:24Speaker 2: in two preseason games from Bernana Mendoza. He makes a
- 2:27Speaker 2: couple of throws in each of these games that make
- 2:30Speaker 2: you say wow, and he's a first overall draft pick
- 2:34Speaker 2: because of that, I could totally see as much as
- 2:40Speaker 2: say what you want about me, and you can say
- 2:42Speaker 2: many things. I'm stupid, I'm pale, I'm freckled, I don't
- 2:48Speaker 2: speak good. What's that Jesse you're getting every two? I
- 2:54Speaker 2: don't speak it no good. Whatever you can say about me,
- 2:58Speaker 2: you can't accuse me of two things. You can't say
- 3:02Speaker 2: that I'm not honest and you can't say that I
- 3:06Speaker 2: don't try my best to be fair and as much
- 3:10Speaker 2: as I despise that human being already and everybody was
- 3:14Speaker 2: like shocked when I at the end of the show yesterday,
- 3:17Speaker 2: I was like, oh, man, I hate Banana Mendoz. I
- 3:19Speaker 2: can't stand the way he talks. They're like, well, why,
- 3:22Speaker 2: It was like, shouldn't the answer just be he's a raider.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Isn't that good enough for people around here? Sounds good
- 3:28Speaker 2: enough for me? But anyway, the thing that I will
- 3:34Speaker 2: say about Banana Mendoza is he looks like every bit
- 3:38Speaker 2: of somebody that is going to be a problem for you,
- 3:42Speaker 2: just like I've said the guy that I hate most
- 3:45Speaker 2: in sports is Aaron Rodgers, but I think he's maybe
- 3:47Speaker 2: the most talented quarterback I've ever seen in my life.
- 3:50Speaker 2: You can hold these two thoughts at once now. I
- 3:53Speaker 2: am fascinated with the idea. By the way, I don't know,
- 3:56Speaker 2: because Nelly got me so upset from the very rip
- 3:59Speaker 2: of this show today, I forgot to mention we're out
- 4:01Speaker 2: at Metal Hills. We're never supposed to be in this
- 4:04Speaker 2: for the charity golf tournament. US the AVS alumni, they're
- 4:06Speaker 2: all gonna be out here, a whole bunch of people.
- 4:08Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll be hopping on and off the show.
- 4:11Speaker 2: If you see people behind me setting up, that's our
- 4:15Speaker 2: promo crew doing a great job. So this is your fault, Nelle,
- 4:19Speaker 2: I was supposed to do that. Off the top.
- 4:20Speaker 3: It looks like those videos.
- 4:21Speaker 5: I don't know if you've ever seen those videos of
- 4:24Speaker 5: SNL behind the scenes where they show, oh they're doing
- 4:27Speaker 5: the cold the cold open wraps up and then they
- 4:30Speaker 5: have to flip the stage for the monologue and they
- 4:32Speaker 5: have to completely change it in like ninety seconds. That's
- 4:35Speaker 5: what it looks like behind you right now, they're trying
- 4:37Speaker 5: to hang the altitude banner and get it centered up,
- 4:39Speaker 5: and some dude is thatt No, some dude who the
- 4:42Speaker 5: backwards hat is like measuring the distances behind you and stuff.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Uh huh. I gotta tell you they've been going at
- 4:47Speaker 2: this banner here for a minute.
- 4:51Speaker 5: I feel like any anytime you guys are on location
- 4:54Speaker 5: and you're setting up the station banner, it's it's kind
- 4:56Speaker 5: of like when you go camping and you have to
- 4:58Speaker 5: set up your tent for the first I'm in like
- 5:00Speaker 5: five years.
- 5:01Speaker 3: You know, somebody this poll's got to be for something, right.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Somebody wants the instructions. There's no instructions to have this
- 5:08Speaker 2: loop do. But yeah, it's like I love those cutaways.
- 5:13Speaker 2: By the way, the SNL, Like in between commercial breaks,
- 5:17Speaker 2: they'll they'll show like a they'll come back to the
- 5:19Speaker 2: guy playing the saxophone, and then it's like them redoing
- 5:22Speaker 2: the entire stage. It's cool. But anyway, you know, we've
- 5:26Speaker 2: talked about this before, but I mean it. I really
- 5:29Speaker 2: think it's one of the more incredible details that could
- 5:34Speaker 2: take place. You know, you have divisions and you have
- 5:39Speaker 2: conferences for sure, because the AFC has been this way
- 5:42Speaker 2: for a while, but the divisions you have these different
- 5:49Speaker 2: sort of amalgamations of well, they've had this quarterback in
- 5:55Speaker 2: this quarterback battling in this division for you know, seven
- 5:58Speaker 2: or eight years, or they've had this one or this
- 6:00Speaker 2: one that's been battling. I don't think we would if
- 6:04Speaker 2: this happens. If what I think Banana Mendoza is, even
- 6:08Speaker 2: though I don't like the person, I mean, he's a
- 6:11Speaker 2: fine person, I don't like the way he speaks, we'll
- 6:14Speaker 2: say if he becomes the quarterback that he looks like
- 6:19Speaker 2: in these first couple of preseason games, like you look
- 6:22Speaker 2: like in Indiana, like a legitimate franchise quarterback. I've I
- 6:26Speaker 2: don't know if you would have seen a division with
- 6:30Speaker 2: four different teams, four that all have franchise quarterbacks that
- 6:35Speaker 2: would be battling each other for seven, eight, nine, ten years.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I don't know the last time that's happened where it's
- 6:41Speaker 2: been the same QB for every team in the same
- 6:44Speaker 2: division for multiple seasons. It's hard. It's hard to think
- 6:49Speaker 2: about like you've had. You know, there was a time
- 6:53Speaker 2: in the oh what the NFC North, where it was
- 6:57Speaker 2: like Rogers and Stafford and Kirk Cousins and whoever the
- 7:02Speaker 2: hell Chicago had at that time. I don't even remember.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You have different Like the NFC West there was like
- 7:09Speaker 2: what there was Kurt Warner and uh god, I see,
- 7:19Speaker 2: I can't even remember. Like, here's what I'm getting at, Like,
- 7:22Speaker 2: you don't have divisions that keep four of the same
- 7:26Speaker 2: quarterbacks for multiple years. And the oldest quarterback in this
- 7:30Speaker 2: division is Mahomes and he's thirty and he's going nowhere,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and Herbert is going nowhere. From the Chargers, the only
- 7:40Speaker 2: ones that are up in the air, I suppose are
- 7:42Speaker 2: Bo Nicks and Fernanda Minosa, But I think Bo Nix
- 7:45Speaker 2: is about this close to locking in a contract that
- 7:47Speaker 2: keeps him here. Bo Knicks, let's mess out long term.
- 7:52Speaker 2: It's just it's a very very unique situation that this
- 7:58Speaker 2: division finds itself in, and it it's another example of
- 8:05Speaker 2: by division. It feels like every team that's here in
- 8:11Speaker 2: Colorado has one of, if not the toughest in their
- 8:15Speaker 2: respective league. I don't know what you would consider the
- 8:20Speaker 2: toughest division in the NFL. The AFC West is certainly
- 8:23Speaker 2: up there. I think the NFC West is probably up there.
- 8:27Speaker 2: I think the NFC North is probably up there. But
- 8:29Speaker 2: you're in the conversation. In basketball, I don't think there's
- 8:33Speaker 2: any doubt the best division in basketball is the one
- 8:35Speaker 2: that the Nuggets reside in, because it has not just
- 8:38Speaker 2: the Timberwolves, but you're talking about high end, super high
- 8:42Speaker 2: caliber teams Oklahoma City you mentioned, or go on from there.
- 8:47Speaker 2: In the MLB, any division that resides with the Dodgers
- 8:51Speaker 2: is probably going to be pretty tough. And then in
- 8:55Speaker 2: the NHL, I mean the Avs every single year battling
- 8:58Speaker 2: it out with Minnesota, in Winnipeg's and everybody else, Dallas Stars,
- 9:04Speaker 2: all of them seem to be not hidden, but just
- 9:09Speaker 2: smushed in between all this great competition. And if Mendoza
- 9:14Speaker 2: continues to be the kind of guy that we thought
- 9:19Speaker 2: he would be. Look at Kyle Keith. He's not nervous
- 9:23Speaker 2: right now, but I'm gonna see that nervous pace in
- 9:25Speaker 2: about ten minutes. I can feel it. The whole thing
- 9:30Speaker 2: surrounding that is you're battling these guys twice a year,
- 9:37Speaker 2: a seventeen game schedule. Over a third of your schedule
- 9:41Speaker 2: would be against those three quarterbacks in all of them
- 9:45Speaker 2: would be franchise caliber, And I don't know how often
- 9:47Speaker 2: that's happened in NFL history. But yes, as much as
- 9:52Speaker 2: I don't particularly like his style of things, you can
- 9:58Speaker 2: see what Fernana Mendoza. There's stuff that people like and
- 10:02Speaker 2: they should like three h three five oh four nine
- 10:07Speaker 2: to two five. Speaking of the Broncos as they were
- 10:10Speaker 2: out yesterday, continuing well, getting ready, I suppose for their
- 10:15Speaker 2: second preseason game tonight, bo Nicks is going to play.
- 10:20Speaker 2: So the question now is what do you need to see?
- 10:24Speaker 2: And I would be lying to you if I didn't
- 10:25Speaker 2: say I'd be slightly discouraged if bow Knicks goes out
- 10:30Speaker 2: there and it doesn't look at least quasi as efficient
- 10:34Speaker 2: as the offense looked in game number one. Now you're
- 10:37Speaker 2: playing against the Packers and not against the Falcons, and
- 10:40Speaker 2: so that is going to matter. But for bow Knicks
- 10:43Speaker 2: to go out there and I just think, I mean,
- 10:46Speaker 2: forget the points or anything like that, because you can
- 10:48Speaker 2: do it this with different competition. It's about that same
- 10:51Speaker 2: tempo in rhythm within the offense. If they still have that,
- 10:54Speaker 2: then that's what you want to see more than anything else.
- 10:59Speaker 2: It's his chemistry at Davis Webb. It's getting to the
- 11:02Speaker 2: line with plenty of time to read the defense, get
- 11:04Speaker 2: into a check if you want to. It's finding the
- 11:07Speaker 2: right guy and making the right decision. I just want
- 11:11Speaker 2: to see him go out and make a couple of
- 11:14Speaker 2: plays and not take a hit would be preferable. At
- 11:19Speaker 2: the same time, if he does take one, I mean,
- 11:20Speaker 2: plenty of quarterbacks having this preseason. It's maybe it's good
- 11:27Speaker 2: for you. Make sure you get hit. Remind yourself if
- 11:30Speaker 2: you're not made of glass, you can pop back up
- 11:31Speaker 2: and be fine. All that stuff. But with the game tonight,
- 11:37Speaker 2: I know that Sean Payton is taking a lot of
- 11:39Speaker 2: pride in the eight straight wins in the preseason. To me,
- 11:44Speaker 2: eight straight wins in the preseason is it's nice. It's
- 11:49Speaker 2: something I would brag about too. But if it were
- 11:51Speaker 2: eight straight losses in the preseason, excuse me, we haven't
- 11:59Speaker 2: had a morning sneak ease in a while. If it
- 12:05Speaker 2: were eight straight losses in the preseason, I think that
- 12:08Speaker 2: Sehn Payton would shrug it off and be like, yeah,
- 12:10Speaker 2: but these games don't really matter, you know. It's it's
- 12:12Speaker 2: good to develop winning habits, and they certainly have. And
- 12:17Speaker 2: that's the great thing about this. I'm not done yet, eh.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Everybody huge, Yeah.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Just give me a moment you have to get the
- 12:29Speaker 2: demons out, especially early in the morning when allergies could
- 12:32Speaker 2: be in the air. It's always a reminder to you guys.
- 12:34Speaker 5: Because they're those in they're cutting the grass right now.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Some of the fresh grass.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Yes, by the way, of course, look gorgeous here at
- 12:43Speaker 2: Meadow Hills. But I just want to see the offense
- 12:48Speaker 2: in tempo and in rhythm and if you can put up,
- 12:51Speaker 2: you know, a touchdown. I think this is all gonna
- 12:53Speaker 2: be kind of dependent on whether you're gonna you're gonna
- 12:56Speaker 2: see bon Nicks playing in the final preseason game or not.
- 13:02Speaker 2: It's gonna be how it looks today tonight. I should say.
- 13:06Speaker 2: If they go out there, they run an a fishing offense.
- 13:10Speaker 2: They they make things happen in a a consistent and
- 13:17Speaker 2: rhythmic fashion. I think nobody else is going to baton
- 13:22Speaker 2: eyelash at maybe sitting him that final preseason game and
- 13:26Speaker 2: not worrying about it, because that's just the nature of
- 13:30Speaker 2: the business. You don't want your guys to get hurt.
- 13:32Speaker 2: You want you don't want to put them in risky positions.
- 13:35Speaker 2: And in the case of where bo Nix is at
- 13:38Speaker 2: with his ankle, I don't think you want to push
- 13:39Speaker 2: this too much, but at the same time, you do
- 13:42Speaker 2: want to make sure you feel good about that heading
- 13:43Speaker 2: into the season. So three oh three five, four nine
- 13:47Speaker 2: two five is the shamp maz De text line. As
- 13:50Speaker 2: we were out here at Metal Hills for the AVS
- 13:52Speaker 2: Alumni Charity golf tournament. Along with us going to be
- 13:55Speaker 2: out here all day, have some guests I'm sure stepping
- 13:58Speaker 2: by the show, hopping on, talking some hockey and a
- 14:01Speaker 2: bunch of other things as we get ready for pre
- 14:03Speaker 2: season game number two. So yesterday we had our pickham
- 14:11Speaker 2: contest where you had to call in on the twenties
- 14:13Speaker 2: if you heard your name, and I will tell you
- 14:15Speaker 2: you all did a fantastic job, wasn't it. First go
- 14:19Speaker 2: each show, Nelly, somebody called in within that four minute.
- 14:23Speaker 5: Timeframe, Yes, exactly. We went four for four on the
- 14:26Speaker 5: pick them four contest, and I think everybody called in
- 14:30Speaker 5: with about three.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Minutes thirty seconds left on the clock. Yeah, and they
- 14:35Speaker 3: were ready.
- 14:36Speaker 5: I gotta say, yesterday, we gave our name and then
- 14:39Speaker 5: somebody called in and so I answered the phone and
- 14:42Speaker 5: I asked what his name was, and he was like, hey, man,
- 14:44Speaker 5: I was just calling in in in case it was me.
- 14:46Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure it was me, you
- 14:48Speaker 5: know what, said, Well it wasn't, but you know, shoot
- 14:51Speaker 5: or shoot and.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Hey, props then just to make sure.
- 14:54Speaker 3: And then the next guy that called was the right guy.
- 14:57Speaker 2: I actually liked that somebody was like, hey, I didn't
- 15:01Speaker 2: hear it, but I want to make sure you didn't
- 15:03Speaker 2: say my name because I'm not missing this prize.
- 15:06Speaker 5: One of my favorite calls I get is when someone
- 15:08Speaker 5: just calls randomly and goes, hey.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Did I win?
- 15:11Speaker 2: Hey? Can I get stuff for free?
- 15:12Speaker 3: Did you win? I don't know. You tell me. Here's
- 15:14Speaker 3: your golden star.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Uh three oh three, five, four nine two five A
- 15:18Speaker 2: lot more to get to this morning, stick rep all
- 15:20Speaker 2: right back out here at Meadow Hills for the AVS
- 15:22Speaker 2: Alumni in hour charity golf tournament that we put on
- 15:25Speaker 2: every single year. You gonna have people stopping by. Do
- 15:27Speaker 2: want to mention something to you guys as we continue
- 15:30Speaker 2: to roll on here that we have another contest coming
- 15:35Speaker 2: up because we just love giving you guys free stuff,
- 15:38Speaker 2: that's what we do. So we gave you guys the
- 15:41Speaker 2: chance to win a pair of tickets to the AVS
- 15:43Speaker 2: home opener. We gave you the pick'em four plan that
- 15:47Speaker 2: uh we just did yesterday where each show gave away
- 15:54Speaker 2: four different games and tickets of your choosing to the
- 15:57Speaker 2: nuggets of this upcoming season. And who else can we do?
- 16:01Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, The Broncos season is coming up.
- 16:05Speaker 2: So here's all I'm gonna tell you. You'll hear the
- 16:09Speaker 2: promos running here in a few hours. But here's how
- 16:12Speaker 2: I want to put it. If you want to row Shambeau.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Everybody knows what roe shambau is, right, more commonly referred
- 16:22Speaker 2: to as rock paper scissors. I'm a roe shamba guy.
- 16:27Speaker 2: You can row Shambeau your way two Broncos tickets to
- 16:33Speaker 2: the home opener. That's what I'm gonna tell you. It's
- 16:35Speaker 2: that easy if you if you're an expert at the
- 16:39Speaker 2: rock and the papers and the scissors, yes, go ahead now,
- 16:41Speaker 2: not home.
- 16:41Speaker 5: Opener, sorry, not home over first game of the season,
- 16:43Speaker 5: the first game of the year, yes, And a enemy
- 16:47Speaker 5: territory yes, behind enemy lines. And actually I got to
- 16:51Speaker 5: ask you, so if you'll just briefly indulge this rabbit
- 16:54Speaker 5: hole for a second. So when I was growing up,
- 16:55Speaker 5: it was always row Schambeau, right, and so you always
- 16:58Speaker 5: showed what you wanted on the third time, right, it
- 17:01Speaker 5: was like Roe Shambeau, Yes, showing scissors. I came out
- 17:04Speaker 5: to Boulder, you know, to go to school, and everybody
- 17:08Speaker 5: out here just collected the paper scissors.
- 17:11Speaker 3: Shoot.
- 17:12Speaker 2: I don't that at all.
- 17:13Speaker 3: And I don't know if is that a regional thing?
- 17:15Speaker 3: Is that a geographical thing?
- 17:15Speaker 5: Because everybody in Colorado goes on the one two three four,
- 17:18Speaker 5: everybody where I grew up on one two three. So
- 17:21Speaker 5: this I hope this doesn't come into play when we
- 17:24Speaker 5: we when we involve rock paper scissors with the tickets,
- 17:26Speaker 5: like we got to decide are we going on row Schambau?
- 17:28Speaker 3: Are we gonna are we? Are we gonna do? Shoot?
- 17:31Speaker 3: We gotta set some rules.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Okay, hang on U. The official guidelines from the World
- 17:42Speaker 2: Rock Paper Scissors Society used the four beat they go
- 17:46Speaker 2: rock paper scissors. Shoot Now, Nelly, I'm with you. I
- 17:49Speaker 2: was not part of the World Rock Paper Scissors Society,
- 17:53Speaker 2: So I just did what I thought was normal, which
- 17:57Speaker 2: was you just throw it on the third one. You
- 17:58Speaker 2: know what, Nellie, hit the sh a pole button. We'll
- 18:00Speaker 2: figure this out real quick.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Oh, man. Usually that's your responsibility. I gotta fig fine, here,
- 18:07Speaker 3: here we go, straw.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Yeah, three oh three, five oh four O nine two five,
- 18:16Speaker 2: third or fourth? That's all I want you to text
- 18:18Speaker 2: in three or four? Do you throw? Third being rock
- 18:22Speaker 2: paper scissors and you're throwing fourth being rock paper scissors?
- 18:26Speaker 2: Shoot and you throw? So I want to see TALLI
- 18:30Speaker 2: him up, keep a running tally, Nelly? Is these Nelly
- 18:33Speaker 2: as these come through? Three oh three, five oh four
- 18:36Speaker 2: O nine two five? I want to know is it
- 18:38Speaker 2: three or four?
- 18:39Speaker 5: And you know who probably was a certified member of
- 18:42Speaker 5: the Rock paper Scissors Championship Society. You just said there,
- 18:46Speaker 5: you've all the Lord to God. I bet Mendoza knows
- 18:48Speaker 5: what's up. We could just ask him.
- 18:50Speaker 2: He is such a shoot guy. That is the most
- 18:54Speaker 2: shoot guy I've ever heard in my life.
- 18:56Speaker 5: I mean most of the people who play for the
- 18:58Speaker 5: Raiders or shoot guys.
- 18:59Speaker 2: But right, uh oh see, I see a lot of
- 19:06Speaker 2: people putting in the wrong.
- 19:08Speaker 5: See I told you it was a Colorado thing. It's regional.
- 19:10Speaker 5: It's it's gotta be geographically based.
- 19:13Speaker 2: It has to be. Nobody did that with me growing up. Nobody.
- 19:19Speaker 2: All right, Well, I think it's been. It's overwhelmingly on
- 19:23Speaker 2: the fourth. It's what people are trying to tell me
- 19:25Speaker 2: right now. So okay, fine, I'll take your word for it. Oh,
- 19:30Speaker 2: here's one Nelly, this is I'm from Hawaii and we play.
- 19:37Speaker 2: I don't know what that is, yon Ken, I don't
- 19:39Speaker 2: know what that is. So third is the right answer.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Whenever something like that pops up, I
- 19:45Speaker 2: feel like I'm they might be trying to get beyond
- 19:48Speaker 2: something very very nervous on I don't know what those
- 19:52Speaker 2: words mean. I don't know what they translate to. I'm
- 19:54Speaker 2: very very careful though, on whatever I'm about to say.
- 19:58Speaker 5: Yeah, that texture from Hawaii. His name is Jass, mister
- 20:02Speaker 5: Hugh Jass.
- 20:04Speaker 2: I think, yeah, exactly. Phil mccrevis three oh three five
- 20:09Speaker 2: four h nine two five, you can keep them coming
- 20:11Speaker 2: in now. I do want to talk more about Peyton
- 20:13Speaker 2: Watson because I've had a day to sit on it,
- 20:21Speaker 2: and I'm gonna be honest with you. After sitting on
- 20:24Speaker 2: it on a day, I feel very very similar to yesterday.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I don't have some sort of like, hey, the dust
- 20:35Speaker 2: is settled, you have a clearer mind. You had more
- 20:38Speaker 2: time to sort of sit down and figure things out.
- 20:41Speaker 2: I feel the same way, and they're just there's two
- 20:49Speaker 2: things that I can acknowledge that nobody within the Nuggets
- 20:53Speaker 2: organization wanted it to go the way that it's gone. Okay.
- 21:01Speaker 2: The other thing is could there have been something else
- 21:07Speaker 2: you could have done? And that's all I keep coming
- 21:11Speaker 2: back to. I just have a really hard time thinking
- 21:15Speaker 2: to myself that the one thing that the Nuggets could
- 21:22Speaker 2: have done was just say goodbye to Peyton Watson. For
- 21:25Speaker 2: you know, this is draft picks, and then you're certainly
- 21:29Speaker 2: gonna use these draft picks to make other moves, and
- 21:33Speaker 2: those moves could be something as simple as well, we're
- 21:38Speaker 2: gonna package this to get rid of Zeke Nazi's contract
- 21:41Speaker 2: to get us underneath the second apron, and so you're
- 21:46Speaker 2: losing an asset that you acquired from trading him. It's
- 21:49Speaker 2: a lot of stuff that I'm just like, yuck. I mean,
- 21:52Speaker 2: that's just the reaction I have, And it textually says
- 21:56Speaker 2: Peyton Watson is dead to me, have fun living in Cleveland.
- 22:01Speaker 2: That's fine. I don't think that Peyton Watson did anything
- 22:06Speaker 2: wrong here outside of I guess, and we'll never know
- 22:12Speaker 2: the truth on this. If he sat out of the
- 22:17Speaker 2: playoffs for a contract. I mean, that's one thing that
- 22:20Speaker 2: if that were true, that it's something you could certainly
- 22:23Speaker 2: be upset about. But here there's underlying questions to that too,
- 22:27Speaker 2: of well, did he sit out because he was hurt
- 22:32Speaker 2: and didn't want to play through the injury. Did he
- 22:35Speaker 2: sit out because he was healthy and didn't want to
- 22:37Speaker 2: risk getting injured. There's a whole bunch of different aspects
- 22:41Speaker 2: to that too. I always go back to the story,
- 22:43Speaker 2: and this is when people start to question the health
- 22:46Speaker 2: of players and all. He's been cleared by this and that,
- 22:51Speaker 2: even if he's cleared by team doctors, even if it's like, well,
- 22:55Speaker 2: I feel like he's good. A guy knows his body.
- 22:58Speaker 2: And I will always go back to Kevin Durant when
- 23:01Speaker 2: everybody was calling him a baby with the Golden State
- 23:04Speaker 2: Warriors for not going out and playing, and then he's like,
- 23:06Speaker 2: all right, fine, I'll jump out here and play, and
- 23:09Speaker 2: then the achilles explodes and then everybody said, oh my gosh,
- 23:14Speaker 2: he was actually hurt. And by that time it's too late.
- 23:17Speaker 2: It's too late. So I don't know what the true
- 23:22Speaker 2: story is. But I've said this from the very beginning
- 23:25Speaker 2: that if you have Peyton Watson at twenty two million
- 23:30Speaker 2: dollars a year, that sounds totally reasonable to me. Totally reasonable.
- 23:35Speaker 2: And I am somebody who always thought the potential of
- 23:39Speaker 2: him like he I think he's going to be a
- 23:44Speaker 2: great player. I really do, and I just don't know
- 23:48Speaker 2: how many guys. And I want you to keep this
- 23:50Speaker 2: point in mind. There are two sides to the coin
- 23:55Speaker 2: of Peyton Watson. One of well, he hasn't really played
- 24:00Speaker 2: all that much and you're basing all of this off
- 24:03Speaker 2: of a month of basketball, and that would be true.
- 24:07Speaker 2: This is also true. It's the first time in his
- 24:11Speaker 2: NBA career, really since high school, that Peyton Watson has
- 24:15Speaker 2: been the guy on a roster. Because of all the
- 24:20Speaker 2: injuries the Nuggets suffered, he was forced essentially to be
- 24:26Speaker 2: the guy that steps in and is your main sort
- 24:31Speaker 2: of score outside of Jamal Murray. So he's a top
- 24:34Speaker 2: two guy on the roster at the time. He had
- 24:37Speaker 2: to go out and make things happening. Guess what he did.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Like to his credit, now, Jokic had comments on this yesterday.
- 24:47Speaker 2: I was going to send Nelly the audio, but I
- 24:49Speaker 2: don't speak Serbian. So he's out doing the phoeba stuff.
- 24:54Speaker 2: And he had a couple of different comments from yesterday.
- 24:57Speaker 2: One of them in talking about Peyton Watson and the trade,
- 25:05Speaker 2: in which he said, why can't I find it now?
- 25:10Speaker 2: But he said he's happy for him, and he ended
- 25:13Speaker 2: it with saying, will be okay. Here you go, NICOLEA.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Peyton Watson got traded. What is your reaction and expectations
- 25:19Speaker 2: for next season? He said, quote, I'm happy for Peyton,
- 25:21Speaker 2: he deserved it. Will miss his energy and skill. I
- 25:24Speaker 2: don't think about the season yet. We have to play this.
- 25:26Speaker 2: He's talking about that FIVA tournament he's in. But it's
- 25:29Speaker 2: gonna be okay, is what he said. And I think
- 25:32Speaker 2: in the back of people's minds watching what's transpired over
- 25:37Speaker 2: the last few years, again a lot of times out
- 25:43Speaker 2: of the control of the Nuggets and in control of
- 25:47Speaker 2: the NBA CBA. When they built their roster to win
- 25:50Speaker 2: a championship, they built that under a different set of rules,
- 25:53Speaker 2: and when those rules changed, it became virtually unsustainable. So,
- 25:58Speaker 2: with all of that in mind, each subsequent year for
- 26:02Speaker 2: the Nuggets, and this is where the frustration comes from,
- 26:05Speaker 2: it feels like you're losing just a little bit each
- 26:09Speaker 2: year you lose Bruce Brown after the championship, you go.
- 26:12Speaker 2: The next year you lose KCP. You go. The next
- 26:15Speaker 2: year you lose Michael Porter Junior lose, you go. The
- 26:17Speaker 2: next year you lose Peyton Watson. It's always like you
- 26:21Speaker 2: are losing a piece, and then in the middle of
- 26:24Speaker 2: losing these pieces that help you win, you need to
- 26:26Speaker 2: attach assets to pieces that aren't helping you just to
- 26:30Speaker 2: move off of their contracts, and it becomes a giant,
- 26:33Speaker 2: bungled mess. So in the frustration of this, I think
- 26:38Speaker 2: overall and what you see from national people more than
- 26:41Speaker 2: local people is well. I wonder if Jokis is gonna
- 26:45Speaker 2: be so mad that he requests a trade, and I
- 26:48Speaker 2: would be It would be one of the most shocking
- 26:50Speaker 2: things in my sports life if we got to a
- 26:53Speaker 2: point where Nikola Jokic is requesting a trade. But I
- 26:57Speaker 2: think a lot of Nuggets fans have that at a
- 26:59Speaker 2: minimum on their minds, somewhere in the recesses of their brain.
- 27:03Speaker 2: It's back there of man, if they can't start building
- 27:07Speaker 2: a cohesive roster again, will there ever be a point
- 27:13Speaker 2: where Yokic just goes you know what, I've had a blast,
- 27:17Speaker 2: but I think I'm kind of done with this. I
- 27:19Speaker 2: don't think that'll ever happen. I think that he is,
- 27:22Speaker 2: thank you, buddy. I think that he is motivated by
- 27:28Speaker 2: different things in your typical athlete. I think he's motivated
- 27:32Speaker 2: by loyalty, He's motivated obviously by money. He's motivated by
- 27:39Speaker 2: holding himself to a certain standard. That's why I don't
- 27:46Speaker 2: have that fear. But i'd be lying if I wasn't
- 27:49Speaker 2: one of those guys that again in the recesses of
- 27:51Speaker 2: my brain, it's not so much would he leave to
- 27:53Speaker 2: play somewhere else in the NBA. It's more would he
- 27:56Speaker 2: leave to just say I'm done? That's it, because you're
- 28:04Speaker 2: relying on pieces now, and I don't think the nuggets
- 28:08Speaker 2: are done. They can't be done because they have two
- 28:10Speaker 2: more roster spots to fill, So I don't know what's
- 28:13Speaker 2: coming in after this. Maybe they can get de Marja
- 28:16Speaker 2: Rosen and it provides, you know, more of a salve
- 28:19Speaker 2: on this this situation than what we're feeling right now.
- 28:24Speaker 2: But to me, it's just about the frustration that's compounded
- 28:30Speaker 2: year after year after year. So three h three five
- 28:34Speaker 2: oh four nine to two five Texa, says Tim Tebow
- 28:38Speaker 2: had a great month of football. Would you pay him
- 28:39Speaker 2: twenty two million dollars to be your quarterback? Tim Tebow
- 28:43Speaker 2: never looked like a quarterback. You can't watch Peyton Watson
- 28:47Speaker 2: even in that month and tell me that doesn't look
- 28:49Speaker 2: like that's a sustainable NBA player. It's not even comparable.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Peyton Watson wasn't bouncing the ball off his forehead and
- 28:57Speaker 2: making it from half court. That's what Tim Tebow was doing.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Peyton Watson wasn't taking two shots a game and one
- 29:06Speaker 2: of them was a game winner. Like the more accurate
- 29:09Speaker 2: thing you probably could have said was maybe Jeremy Lynn,
- 29:12Speaker 2: maybe that. But here's the problem. At minimum minimum for
- 29:19Speaker 2: Peyton Watson, he's a guy that with starters minutes, is
- 29:22Speaker 2: gonna score in the teams per game at minimum, who
- 29:26Speaker 2: plays really good defense and is twenty three years old.
- 29:32Speaker 2: That's why you don't get like, say whatever you want
- 29:34Speaker 2: about you can disagree with me on what Peyton Watson's
- 29:36Speaker 2: ceiling is. You cannot deny that Peyton Watson is a
- 29:40Speaker 2: good NBA player at a very minimum. You can't. And
- 29:45Speaker 2: you can cope if you want to and say, oh,
- 29:48Speaker 2: we're losing him. He'll be asked in Cleveland. I mean,
- 29:51Speaker 2: you can go ahead and try and convince yourself of that.
- 29:53Speaker 2: I'm not one to lie to myself. I'll just face
- 29:56Speaker 2: the reality. This sucks because it does. Here's the bottom line.
- 30:00Speaker 2: If the Nuggets had twenty two million dollars a year
- 30:02Speaker 2: to spend, would they sign him mac Duh is the answer. Duh.
- 30:11Speaker 2: So you can cope with it if you want to
- 30:13Speaker 2: and be like, well, it's only one month and he's
- 30:15Speaker 2: stunk all the other times, and when he goes to Cleveland,
- 30:18Speaker 2: he's gonna be terrible and they're gonna be on the
- 30:20Speaker 2: hook for this twenty two million dollar contract. It's bad.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Don't see that at all? Now? Thirty five million dollars
- 30:27Speaker 2: for Peyton Watson, Yeah, they'd be a problem. That'd be
- 30:29Speaker 2: a problem. Like it's the same way that I feel
- 30:33Speaker 2: about Christian Brown. Like, I think that Christian Brown his
- 30:35Speaker 2: contract twenty five million dollars a year is at a
- 30:38Speaker 2: little bit steep. Yeah, probably, But I think Christian Brown healthy,
- 30:42Speaker 2: You're you're pretty much cool with it. Aaron Gordon's contract
- 30:45Speaker 2: Is that a high number? Yes, but Aaron Gordon healthy,
- 30:48Speaker 2: you're cool with it. Remember Christian Brown was somebody who
- 30:55Speaker 2: he led the league in fast break points two years ago.
- 30:59Speaker 2: He shot four forty percent from three. You very obviously
- 31:04Speaker 2: saw that he had an ankle problem that just didn't
- 31:05Speaker 2: go away. And so I don't know. Again, I'm not
- 31:13Speaker 2: happy about this at all, but I'm not going to
- 31:15Speaker 2: sit here and lie and say, well, uh, you know what,
- 31:19Speaker 2: he wasn't that good in the first place. Like if
- 31:21Speaker 2: you had a super hot girlfriend and she broke up
- 31:23Speaker 2: with you and you go, well, she was actually kind
- 31:26Speaker 2: of ugly. It's like, no, she wasn't. She wasn't she
- 31:29Speaker 2: dumped you. It's fine. You just gotta face it. So
- 31:35Speaker 2: out here at Meadow Hills again as alumni and our
- 31:38Speaker 2: charity golf tournament that we do, we do every single year,
- 31:42Speaker 2: and I love this golf course. It is beautiful. So
- 31:48Speaker 2: three oh three, five oh four, oh nine and two
- 31:50Speaker 2: five still a lot to get to here. A big
- 31:54Speaker 2: thank you, by the way to Rama's Law Firm for
- 31:56Speaker 2: their support of Altitude Sports Radio training camp coverage this year.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Accident you need Ramos Law Medical doctrine attorney visit Ramos
- 32:03Speaker 2: Law dot com. Camp maybe over, but our Broncos coverage
- 32:06Speaker 2: is just getting started all season long, from every practice
- 32:09Speaker 2: to every game and everything in between. Nobody covers the
- 32:12Speaker 2: Broncos like we do here at Altitude Sports Radio ninety
- 32:15Speaker 2: two five back after this, what are you bopping your
- 32:17Speaker 2: head to right now? What is this?
- 32:20Speaker 5: Sometimes I remember that corn exists and I go, man,
- 32:23Speaker 5: remember when these guys were like the biggest band in
- 32:25Speaker 5: the world doing this stuff.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Jesse just looked at me, almost offended. He was it's corn.
- 32:31Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, that's corn with.
- 32:33Speaker 5: A K, right, yes, sometimes the k's backwards, if I
- 32:36Speaker 5: remember correctly.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Did they wear the masks?
- 32:38Speaker 5: Is that that group Slipknot That slips flipnot has about
- 32:41Speaker 5: seventy members and they wear masks and one of them
- 32:44Speaker 5: hits an empty beer keg with a baseball bat.
- 32:47Speaker 3: As an instrument.
- 32:48Speaker 2: So I was working this little food truck thing at
- 32:50Speaker 2: one of these concerts, at one of those venues that
- 32:53Speaker 2: sort of has, you know, five different bands go at once,
- 32:56Speaker 2: and Slipknot was one of them. I just looked at
- 32:58Speaker 2: that crowd and I yo, for me, I don't want
- 33:02Speaker 2: to be any part of in the middle of people
- 33:04Speaker 2: with Texas chainsaw massacre faces, Hannibal lecter faces, look got
- 33:11Speaker 2: more power to you. If that's what you like, that's
- 33:13Speaker 2: what you like. I'm not somebody that's gonna judge whatever
- 33:15Speaker 2: your your hobbies and your likes and dislikes are. I
- 33:19Speaker 2: take that back. I probably will judge it internally. I
- 33:21Speaker 2: will never judge it externally. But I just looked at
- 33:25Speaker 2: that and go, Nope, that is not what I do.
- 33:29Speaker 2: I don't wear meat on my face and go out
- 33:32Speaker 2: and headbang. Not my thing. Now. Few things here as
- 33:41Speaker 2: we're out here, a mental hills for the ABS alumni
- 33:43Speaker 2: and hour annual golf tournament. You know what's funny. I
- 33:51Speaker 2: saw something yesterday from Shams. After the Calves get this
- 33:54Speaker 2: deal done to acquire Peyton Watson, they have James Harden
- 33:58Speaker 2: who agrees to a three year, ninety seven million dollar
- 34:00Speaker 2: deal to remain with the Calves. It will take him
- 34:03Speaker 2: through his twentieth season in the league. And everybody goes,
- 34:06Speaker 2: this is malpractice to sign him to this contract. And
- 34:09Speaker 2: I understand why. He's thirty seven years old. That's an
- 34:12Speaker 2: it's an old player in the league. But he did
- 34:16Speaker 2: average twenty and a half points per game on forty
- 34:19Speaker 2: four percent from three in aight assists. He can still
- 34:25Speaker 2: play and I was like thirty what thirty two million
- 34:31Speaker 2: dollars a year doesn't sound wholly unreasonable for that production. Now, look,
- 34:38Speaker 2: I wouldn't want James Harden on my team, certainly not
- 34:42Speaker 2: on the Nuggets. There just wouldn't be a fit there.
- 34:44Speaker 2: But I don't see how that's totally unreasonable. The calves
- 34:51Speaker 2: are pushing their chips in. This is what teams do.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Texter says. Many will miss out on the unspoken brotherly
- 35:02Speaker 2: bond that comes from a mosh pit. I'll miss out
- 35:05Speaker 2: on the pushing shoving with people. See this is the
- 35:10Speaker 2: example you're talking about with Chad Brown at training camp.
- 35:13Speaker 2: A mosh pit is you can have somebody who goes
- 35:15Speaker 2: fifty percent and somebody goes ninety percent, and then all
- 35:17Speaker 2: of a sudden this becomes a giant problem. You all
- 35:19Speaker 2: have to be on the same page.
- 35:21Speaker 5: Well as a general rule, I have never been in
- 35:23Speaker 5: a metal mash pit, but I will tell you what,
- 35:26Speaker 5: Punk and SKA mosh pits are incredible. They're they're amazing,
- 35:30Speaker 5: especially SKA. Everybody's just dancing around, going, who I'm happy
- 35:33Speaker 5: to be here?
- 35:33Speaker 3: Like those?
- 35:34Speaker 2: What's a mush pit in that? What does that mean?
- 35:36Speaker 5: Well, it's more of a circle pit. Everybody is moving
- 35:38Speaker 5: in a circle in the same direction and then at okay,
- 35:41Speaker 5: so there's no pushing. There's a little bit of pushing,
- 35:44Speaker 5: you know, sometimes you throw somebody off kelter from their dancing,
- 35:46Speaker 5: but not as much pushing as in a slipknot pit.
- 35:49Speaker 2: You know what just sounded like you sounded like that
- 35:52Speaker 2: Nate Bargatzi George Washington skit. There's kicking the sport of
- 35:58Speaker 2: football with that you play with your hands, so there's
- 36:01Speaker 2: no kicking. It's a little kicking.
- 36:03Speaker 3: There's a little kicking.
- 36:04Speaker 2: There's a little kicking.
- 36:05Speaker 3: How much How many points will it be?
- 36:07Speaker 5: Sometimes one and sometimes three?
- 36:12Speaker 2: You guys want to hear a pretty crazy stat And
- 36:15Speaker 2: this stems from you know, there was just a promo.
- 36:18Speaker 2: I was played about it, but I heard correct and
- 36:20Speaker 2: Linda talking about this. Players with fifty pass touchdowns and
- 36:25Speaker 2: ten plus scrimmage touchdowns over the last two seasons. There's
- 36:28Speaker 2: been two names on that list. Those names are Josh
- 36:31Speaker 2: Allen and bow Knicks, players to do so in their
- 36:35Speaker 2: first two NFL seasons. Ever, there's one name on that list,
- 36:39Speaker 2: and that is Bo Nicks. The odds makers have the
- 36:43Speaker 2: Broncos at nine and a half wins this year, and
- 36:47Speaker 2: Lindall was almost incensed at the idea that the number
- 36:51Speaker 2: would be that low. I think I'm mostly with him,
- 36:57Speaker 2: with the exception of one thing. The Broncos are. I
- 37:02Speaker 2: just was talking to a buddy yesterday about this. He goes,
- 37:05Speaker 2: give me your honest opinion. You work in sports. You
- 37:09Speaker 2: were at a training camp. Are the Broncos gonna be
- 37:13Speaker 2: good this year? And I was like, well, yeah, They're
- 37:14Speaker 2: gonna be good. There's no question the Broncos will be good.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I go, the question is can they get back to
- 37:22Speaker 2: like AFC title, super Bowl level? And I absolutely think
- 37:27Speaker 2: they can. There is no question. The variables that are
- 37:32Speaker 2: in between them and that again this year are much
- 37:37Speaker 2: different than what they were last year. Last year was
- 37:41Speaker 2: easier schedule. Last year was it was easier schedule combined
- 37:52Speaker 2: with a unrocky path to getting towards the end of
- 37:58Speaker 2: the season. You know, it's weird to say this when
- 38:01Speaker 2: you're like, you got very lucky from an injury standpoint,
- 38:04Speaker 2: most of the guys staying in the roster and blah
- 38:05Speaker 2: blah blah staying healthy when the season ended. Because your
- 38:09Speaker 2: quarterback got hurt the final game of the year. But
- 38:12Speaker 2: it's true you got to that point because you had
- 38:15Speaker 2: a whole bunch of injury luck at that time. Now,
- 38:18Speaker 2: if you keep moving beyond that, you talk about, well,
- 38:21Speaker 2: why is this nine and a half over underwin total?
- 38:24Speaker 2: At nine and a half? I think they see tough schedule.
- 38:27Speaker 2: I think that they see maybe some bounces going against you,
- 38:32Speaker 2: And I think we all have to recognize the nature
- 38:35Speaker 2: in how they won. The Broncos, without a doubt, developed
- 38:41Speaker 2: a skill for late game situation, making the play you
- 38:49Speaker 2: need to make. They also got incredibly lucky in a
- 38:56Speaker 2: lot of those games in doing so, it was mistaken
- 39:00Speaker 2: by the other team that were made. It was plays
- 39:02Speaker 2: that you made. Yes, But when you look at well,
- 39:05Speaker 2: how can the Broncos get to if you're betting the under?
- 39:08Speaker 2: And I would love to see, like the spread, is
- 39:11Speaker 2: there some way you can look that up, Nelly on
- 39:13Speaker 2: how many people what percentage of the bets have been
- 39:16Speaker 2: on the over or under for the Broncos, because it's
- 39:19Speaker 2: something I'd love to see because I don't know how
- 39:23Speaker 2: many people would be just going in and betting the under.
- 39:27Speaker 2: I don't think that that's a large percentage of people.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Most people would see the Broncos as a team that
- 39:32Speaker 2: is totally viable. The point in all of this is
- 39:37Speaker 2: you set the number at nine and a half because
- 39:39Speaker 2: of the variables that I was just talking about. It's
- 39:43Speaker 2: how you won last year. Is that a sustainable thing
- 39:46Speaker 2: year over year? It's injuries. Is that a sustainable thing
- 39:49Speaker 2: year over year. It's all of these different factors and
- 39:53Speaker 2: details that lead to it. Not to mention a really
- 39:56Speaker 2: difficult schedule, especially out of the break, one of the
- 40:00Speaker 2: things is you're gonna be tested. You're gonna have a
- 40:02Speaker 2: few of these games early that you know, we've talked
- 40:07Speaker 2: about the first six weeks. If they go three and
- 40:10Speaker 2: three in the first six games, it's not I think
- 40:16Speaker 2: most people would look at that and be like, you
- 40:18Speaker 2: know what, that's all right, that's alright with me. If
- 40:21Speaker 2: you have four until you're like, holy smokes, that's amazing.
- 40:24Speaker 2: If you go one in five, then you put yourself
- 40:29Speaker 2: in a hole, and it's almost as if you gotta
- 40:35Speaker 2: you gotta be tested in a way mentally that this
- 40:38Speaker 2: team under bow Knicks has not. They've had moments in
- 40:43Speaker 2: which they've looked bad. They've had moments at the beginning
- 40:45Speaker 2: of his career in which they've struggled and had to
- 40:49Speaker 2: bounce back from it. And I think one credit to
- 40:51Speaker 2: bow Knicks is he very rarely has back to back
- 40:53Speaker 2: bad games. Rarely. But when you've got uh, when you've
- 41:02Speaker 2: got all of these factors sort of put together along
- 41:07Speaker 2: with an AFC that people are just it's this is
- 41:10Speaker 2: gonna be the case until Bownicks establishes himself as a
- 41:13Speaker 2: bona fide top ten quarterback in this league. The point
- 41:18Speaker 2: in all of this is going to be you're gonna
- 41:21Speaker 2: look at Lamar and you're gonna look at Burrow, and
- 41:24Speaker 2: you're gonna look at Josh Allen, and you're gonna look
- 41:26Speaker 2: at Patrick Mahomes, and you're gonna look at Justin Herbert,
- 41:29Speaker 2: and you're just gonna do which quarterbacks do I feel
- 41:33Speaker 2: are best in this conference? Those are the teams that
- 41:35Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick to make the postseason. That's what they're
- 41:40Speaker 2: gonna do. Uh Texas says on Calshie. Fifty five percent
- 41:47Speaker 2: of bets on the Broncos for ten plus wins, especially
- 41:51Speaker 2: lower than I thought it would be. I thought it'd
- 41:53Speaker 2: be up in maybe the low sixties, but still most
- 41:58Speaker 2: are going on the Broncos to get that over And
- 42:00Speaker 2: I think that that's the wise decision because the Broncos
- 42:04Speaker 2: are built in a manner where even if you don't
- 42:07Speaker 2: get the best of quarterback play, whatch you do get
- 42:11Speaker 2: is an entire roster full of guys and a big
- 42:14Speaker 2: team that is built in the proper manner to sustain troubles.
- 42:20Speaker 2: We'll say, and that's what you saw last year. The
- 42:23Speaker 2: offense struggled a lot. Well, guess what, even when the
- 42:26Speaker 2: offense struggles, the defense is good enough to keep you
- 42:29Speaker 2: in a game and give you a chance in the
- 42:30Speaker 2: fourth quarter. So three zero three, five oh four nine
- 42:34Speaker 2: two five. Wine Time at Ilitch Gardens is just one
