  Speaker 2: What's up, Ryan?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: What's up, fellas? How about another victory week for you guys?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: We're on Victory Tuesday here and a nice relaxing one
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: because you got the bye coming up.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Five straight for the Broncos as they head into the
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: bye week. Seven and two. Big question, though.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Trade deadline is today at 2 o'clock. Do you expect
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the Broncos to do something?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I don't, but at the same time, I think that
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: one thing fans miss, at the end of the trade deadline,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: prices become cheaper. So yes, if you want a piece
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and you're sending or buying players, sure. I think everybody's
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: seeing Jeffrey Simmons, I think that guy has read the
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: D tackle at Bears. That worked out, so that's gonna
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: get a couple people. thinking some more, but look, you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: have the team you need if you're the Broncos, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the number one thing people are going to want is
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: one or two of your corners or safeties. Are you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: giving away JL Skinner? Are you giving away Jaquan McMillan?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm saying no, but we talked last week.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm down with moving some pieces at the running back
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: position because you need a vet to get ready and
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: have you ready for the playoffs.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the strength, and their strength
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: right now is the depth in their defensive backfield. That's me,
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: but Let me ask you something about the offensive side
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: of things and the running game.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: You're an offensive lineman. You played that position. You played
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: it very well. You won a ring. Is it the line?
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: Is it the running game? Or is it the running back?
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: What's the problem there? D, all the above.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Always choose D, all the above. I did love the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: commitment to the run. And if you go back and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: watch this game against the Panthers, I mean, the Broncos
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: really did commit to the run. They ran it with
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: over 20 designed run calls. I mean, there have been
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: games where there was 11, right? So they committed to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the run in a different way. I think you saw
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it in how it opened up the rest of the game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think it kept Bo Nix in flow. But let's
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: be clear, it's not looking the same with J.K.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Dobbins.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, he averaged 4.5 yards per carry when you just
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: look at the numbers. But, man, he was not explosive
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: outside of that first play from the line of scrimmage.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I think he's trying to press too hard. I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the linemen are really, really trying to force that run game.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: But it's going to get there, boys. It takes time.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: It takes time to put a whole engine together. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that run game is a big piece of this Broncos engine.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: Ryan, if you've got the guys inside that room who
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: think their position group is pretty good and maybe they're
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: not the reason that things aren't really motivated and going
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: right now, At the deadline, do they look around and go, hey, man,
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: maybe we should go trade for this guy? What's the
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: feeling inside the room to try to get better, or
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: do they think like you just said, hey, man, we
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: got the team that can win. We're already 7-2. These
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: are our guys.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Well, you think it's, hey, these are our guys. You're
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: hoping that guys don't get traded. I mean, just look
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at your show. Somebody got traded today. Would it be
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: great for them?
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: Maybe.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Would it suck for everyone on the show? Absolutely, right?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So you've built some chemistry here in Denver. I mean,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I do think There is a couple positions you could improve.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Could you get a left guard? I mean, that was
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: something where when the Quinton Nelson deal, you're just like, man,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: where were the Broncos in that conversation, right? But at
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, you have had to build
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a belief if you're the Broncos from before the trade
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: deadline all the way back to training camp that you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: going to win the Super Bowl with the guys in
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the room. And fellas, they can do it. I mean,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: they're going to be able to compete for the number
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: one spot in the entire AFC again. And so you
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: are very confident in the team that you have in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that locker room.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Ryan Harris with us. All conversations with Ryan are brought
• 4:25

• 4:35
  Speaker 4: turn to the experts. Let me ask you just a
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: basic question. Let's say that the offensive line is not
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: doing a good enough job opening up holes for running
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: backs and blah, blah, blah. But if you get a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: better caliber of running back, what difference does that make?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: For example, if the issues in the running game right
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: now are almost directly offensive line related and you bring
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: in Jonathan Taylor, does it still change?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It does change because some running backs really create the hole.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is if you're running
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to a wide zone on your left and that running
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: back puts his foot in the ground at the guard
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and to cut back, no one's going to honor that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: wide edge versus a guy like Jonathan Taylor knows, Hey,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I'm going to face my shoulders almost parallel to that
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. And I'm going to get out there
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to force those running, those linebackers to get across, to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: force those defensive linemen to pull off their block a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: little bit, to try and get sideways. That's when the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: old line pushes the guy even deeper into the linebacker.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: You get to the second level, you cut back at
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the numbers or right where out the tackle was to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: start the play and and now you're going upfield. J.K.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Dobbins has not stretched the field that way. He's a
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: powerful runner, and he's somebody who, if you look, has
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: been running into the back of his linemen a lot.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You do not want to change direction in the backfield,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and you especially don't want to do it while stopping.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: versus Jonah Coleman's pressing that hole. That's what they call
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: pressing that hole. I'm going to stay on this track.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And once it opens, it's either going to open up
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: front side or backside, but I'm not going to deviate
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: right when I.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Get the ball.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And so, yes, if you get a guy like Jonathan Taylor,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: it drastically changes the run game. It looks different. And
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: defensive players have to play different because of those threats
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to the edge.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Do you anticipate the Broncos making any changes to the
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: O-line or, Is it fine the way it is? Is
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: the blocking scheme fine the way it is?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Well, at this point, the blocking scheme is not going
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to change. You can't go in and put a whole
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: new one in. But I do think that with some
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: rest and some health, you're going to get a refreshed
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: offensive line. Now, at the same time, guys, this is
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the job, right? If you're winding out of gas here
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: halfway through the year, you're going to play the most
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: physical and brutal football of the season in January. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you have to do everything to get ready for that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: But if the opportunity to improve the offensive line is there,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I think the Broncos will take it. I also think
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: they have one of the best offensive lines statistically outside
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of running the football. But it would be interesting as
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: well to see those attempts and when those attempts are
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to see how competitive they actually are when you get
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: down to it. But this offensive line has been there
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: for every comeback, boys. You got to ride the horses
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that got you there.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: But when you look around the league, the Jaguars are
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: going all in here. Like, they just picked up three pieces, man.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: They're like, we're going to solidify ourselves. Is there any urgency,
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: you think, to try and keep up with the Joneses?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: You cannot keep up with the Joneses. You know, we
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: had Michael Phelps, the Olympic swimmer. We all remember, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: don't even know what country that guy was from. He
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: was trying to beat Michael Phelps, and then all of
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: a sudden he was looking in the race at Michael Phelps,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: who was just kicking his butt by focusing on winning.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You can't focus on the Jaguars. You've been to playoffs
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: more times than they have in the last two years.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So you can't concern yourself with what other teams are doing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: You've got to believe in what you're doing and your roster.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what else, guys. I mean, you
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: tell me. can we get a more dynamic position than
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: what Marvin Mims has been giving us? I love Marvin Mims.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: He's a fantastic person in addition to a player. But
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Pat Bryant was going off, right, last week. You know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: you had other guys, Troy Franklin, going off. So I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: don't know, man. I do think you need some more dynamic.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: With your roster, Mims is an excellent punt returner, but
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: he can do three things, the go route, the jet sweep,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and return that punt for you. I think you can
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: get some more dynamic play out of that player.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Ryan Harris with us.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Just a quick aside question because I was watching the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: game last night and Minnesota's defense incredible, but they have
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: nothing at quarterback right now. Is it possible for a
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: team midseason, like let's say they trade for somebody today,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: which I'm sure they're trying to, how difficult is it
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: for a quarterback to walk into a brand new team,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: brand new offense, brand new system midseason and have success?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Well, tremendously, especially when you walk into that room and
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the two other quarterbacks are demoralized. I mean, what does
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: that quarterback room look like at the Vikings? I mean,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's not motivated, not tall. Carson Wentz, you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: can't get it done. I mean, are you trading for
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins again? For goodness sakes.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Do the Raiders want to?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: If I'm the Minnesota Vikings, I go and get Tampa
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Bay's Jalen Daniels. Jalen Daniels. He was the quarterback that
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: beat the Cowboys on the road on a short week.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, that kid can play. I think you go
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: get him, man. Or go trade for Shadur. Force that
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: issue over there. The best GMs force an issue. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think there's enough quarterbacks between Deshaun Watson, Shadur Sanders,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: and Jalen Daniels that you're going to be able to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: find a quarterback. And if I'm the Vikings, Jalen Daniels
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: is the guy I'm going after.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Brett, ask Ryan your question about the state of college football.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, here's the thought that I had because I saw
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: that the executive director of the college football playoff basically
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: said this.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: We know that you guys don't want to go to
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: 24 teams.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: We hear you.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: We're doing it anyway. And I just thought.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: For years, college football fans have been force fed things
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: that they don't like. You know, rivalry games go away.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Conference realignment, not a huge fan of expanding the playoff.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Now expanding it again.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: NIL rules, transfer rules, all these different things that it
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: feels like college football fans haven't liked is now being
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: force fed to them. I know college football is not
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: going anywhere. I know people are still going to watch.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: My question is, is this the way you should be
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: treating your consumers of your product, though?
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Nor the employees of that product. How does
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: going 24 games, how does that protect the student athlete?
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Anybody?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Bueller?
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: Bueller? Okay. Are you playing the student-athlete game with me?
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: Are you playing the student-athlete game with me? Come on, Ryan.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: Not everybody's like you in college. Come on.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: You know the bulk of these players are not student-athletes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: There was a player from Miami that's in his eighth year.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: What's he studying?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: How can you be a student-athlete? You got 24 playoff teams.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: You got a zero week start now. Do you think
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the teachers care if you've got a game when you
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: got a test?
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: No.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Do you think your coach changes practice because you got
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: a test?
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: No.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: But look, college football is here to stay. They are
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: going to maximize whatever value they can find. And it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: absolutely shocking. Now, to me, guys, I think we have
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: to make some improvements like. If you gamble on a
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: college sports team of any sport, those teams get a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: portion of the bet or the winnings, period. It could
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: be a dollar. But, I mean, you've got people betting
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars every weekend on this product. And the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: people at the NCAA who clearly have not been hit
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: in the field of play of football want to expand
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to 24 games because they just want more money. and
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: more money because they're seeing what sports entertainment's building, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: they want a piece of it as much as they can.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Who's watching the 24-16 matchup in football? Get out of here.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but the state of college football, the debate we
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: had earlier, is I think college football is as popular
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: as it's ever been right now.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: Rivalries are gone. It sucks.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: But if you go to games and you find– now,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: not every college football program because– There are programs, somebody
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: just texted the show saying they watch religiously.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: He's a Wyoming fan. Well, yeah, because Wyoming's screwed. Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: you're screwed. I don't know what to tell you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know what to tell you, but
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: there are certain programs now that are screwed. And I
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: wish I could help you because that sucks because there's
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: history and tradition there. That's the part that really troubles
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: me is what do you do with these programs that
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: are the have-nots that can't get in that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Circle, Ryan?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Well, they've done it to themselves, right? I mean, CU, CSU,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: how the hell do you stop that game?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Period.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Under what world do you stop that game, right? I mean, CU,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: they've got a problem too. The Big 12 is just
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: barely hanging on, boys. So what you're going to see
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: is you're going to start to see a lot of
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Wednesday college football games, things like that. You're going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: see some different things. And the other piece too, I
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: mean– Vic, you were there. We were 50 feet away
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: from each other at the game. Why didn't you say hello?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: The pregame, I couldn't see you, man. You got to
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: stand on the bench. The pregame, you tell everybody, Vic,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: when that stuff was going around the stadium with those lights,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I've never seen that before.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: It was the most electric atmosphere I've ever seen.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: And so that's the other piece. I mean, I've called
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: the game at Virginia Tech. They play enter the Sandman
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, and they've got lights off. what's
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: your thing at the stadium you got to give a
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: better experience to the fans right at the game that
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: includes bringing kids onto the onto the field giving them
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: opportunities and also lowering the price of a ticket my
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: goodness I and.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: That's why I've been arguing with Brett this morning because
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: he he came across as if college football is suffering
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: it's not suffering at all but Vic.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: It's not can I be clear I didn't say that
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: college football was going anywhere or it's gonna like poof,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: go away. All I'm saying is, for years, college football
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: has been rooted in, like, one thing, and that's been
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: the big thing for them, which is tradition.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: It's nostalgia. It's the matchups that you had. It's the
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: rivalry games.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: And I think an aspect of this, just another sort
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: of drop in the bucket, is they expanded 24, no
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: more conference championship games.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I think that's something that people hate.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I think that teams really like the idea of having
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: conference championship weekend.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: And I disagree with you. I think conference championship games are...
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: What does it matter anymore? The goal isn't the conference championship.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: The goal is the CFP championship.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: You have to.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Change your goals. Now, I do agree with that, because
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: if you think about it, you know, a lot of teams,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: if you have a if you're number one going into
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: that championship game. you're playing one of the toughest games
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: of the season right at the end. And does it matter?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, will you drop out?
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: No.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think we saw this, what was it
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago with Georgia and Alabama, one
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: of those two one in the, in the sec championship game.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, that's what we love. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: love watching the Dr. Pepper sec championship game. I don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: know why I couldn't tell you. And, and so it's
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: like watching the Rose bowl. So you got to remember though, uh,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: The NCAA has done this to itself. They have restricted–
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: multiple teams have stopped doing rivalry games, and it hasn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: been in just the last five years. Multiple teams are
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: trying to get to less conference games, and then you've
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: got strange start times. I mean, what time did that
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Arizona State game kick off last week? My goodness. It
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: was like 9.30 Pacific time.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: At the end of the day, Ryan, and everybody, listen
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: to me. At the end of the day, there are
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: 138 Division I football programs. It is impossible to keep
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: everyone happy. Parody at that number is impossible. You're not
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: going to achieve that. You know, if you're in the
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: NFL and you have 32 teams, if you're in the small, okay,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: but you're dealing with 138 teams, different parts of the country.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: And here we are trying to achieve parity.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Good luck.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: We've got it. We've got the most parity we ever had.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kentucky was top 10 for the first time
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: since when?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Since the prohibition? I mean, come on, dog. I mean,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: you've got Ole Miss hanging in there still. Where did
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: UCLA come from?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on. I mean, the parity is there,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: but to your point, like, Team 70 through 120, it's
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: never been there. Nobody knows where Abilene Christian is. But
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I do know a couple players that have come out of.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: There, right?
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: But you're going to have parity. We've had the best
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: we've had so far with all the different teams that
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: are in the mix. I mean, it's not going pretty
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: easy for Lane Kiffin. They have a must win this weekend, right?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: So the parity is there, but I think we have
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to be honest. We really don't care about the bottom
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: half of Division I teams anymore. And in that way,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like European soccer. They've been relegated. You know, okay, Minnesota,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: way to go, P.J. Fleck. Do it against Ohio State
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: before you come back to the big league.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Ryan, how did we survive all those years without scoreboard, fireworks,
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: and music during commercials?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I just told someone. I said, I brought someone new
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: to Notre Dame. I said, you would not believe the
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: uproar of putting in a big screen. And by the way,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: by the way, you need another one on the other side,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: right on that northeast side. And let me tell you, boys.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a Under Armour and a Peacock logo there.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: They're missing about $ 200 million in sponsorship. Where's the Allstate
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: on the field? I don't care. Where is the cars.com
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: at the 20-yard line on the numbers? They are wasting money,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: not promoting what you can with your corporate sponsorships on
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the field. You've got to get there, too.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I went to a Notre Dame game years ago. I'm
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out exactly when it was, but it
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: was before they put in the scoreboard. And all I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: thought to myself was.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Can you make it easier on me?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I know you don't like your nostalgia thing, like I'm
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: walking into a 1930s game.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Can I get a scoreboard? What's the score?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: People turned their back on the university. Ask Vic.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: People are like, I'm never going to a football game
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: because they put a screen in. Meanwhile, Purdue had one
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: when I was in college in 2006. Hyping up their guys.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Brett Cain with the big Boilermaker hammer.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: And music. People love that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: You have to understand, this is one of the last
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: institutions that actually piped in music they refused because they
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: thought they were bigger than that. We're too traditional. They
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: didn't do any of that. They didn't do any of that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: During timeouts, you would look at the band and say,
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: great band. Now it's like a normal game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: It's unreal.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Well, Ryan, we always appreciate the time. Thanks for joining us, buddy.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Have fun this victory week, boys.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Enjoy it.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: I could sit here and talk Notre Dame football all day.
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: How about if I call you during the break?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Vic, that's him telling us he wants us to bring
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: him next time. We'll bring you next year, Moes. Auburn game.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Let's go, Moes.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: If you had been there, you'd be talking it up
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: like it's no problem.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it was a blast.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: I would.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: He'd be crying telling the story.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: I saw Rudy.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: I really saw him. Listen, I love college football. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: love the pomp and circumstance, the venues. I probably would cry, yes.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Ryan, you're the best, buddy. Thank you.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Love you, buddy. Peace.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Ryan Harris joins us every single week back after this.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: Shepard back on top over to Durant. Durant goes to
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: the right hand, and he throws it away. Christian's got
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: a breakaway. He leans in, got fouled on his way
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: to the.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Rim by Reed Shepard. Three-throw number one. No good, so
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that's why it's a good foul by Reed Shepard.
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: Now, if he misses this one, you get a Whataburger
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: if you're in Houston. Oh, let my people eat! Second
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: one is no good. Rebound down to Durant.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: That was one fun spot from last night. Hey, did
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: you guys know that $ 10.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Just real quick here, Moshe.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: $ 10 doesn't get you a lot anymore these days.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, we all know, right? This economy. Dow Jones! NASDAQ!
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: But on Tuesdays, it'll get you any large pizza from
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Papa Murphy's. It's a $ 10 Tuesday. Order at PapaMurphy's.com. Pick
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: it up. Bake it fresh at home.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Moshe.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Why does it feel like every Tuesday I'm now out
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: of town?
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: I can't get me. There ain't no Ain't no Papa
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Murphy's here in Toronto, man.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, let my people eat. Here's the thing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And ask, do yourself a favor. Hang on. Yeah. Ask Vic. Hi, Vic.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Look at me. Yeah. Ask Vic who sings that song.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: He'll have no idea. I don't care.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: That one's pretty popular. It's Buffett, right?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Jimmy Buffett.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: He has no idea.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Look at his face. He has no idea. Are you
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: kidding me?
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: They named the restaurant after him.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he has James Margaritaville. Yes, they named it after him.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: No, after the song. After the song. You guys never
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: been to a cheeseburger in paradise?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Anyway. Oh, let my people eat.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: I got a concern here, okay? I was just talking
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: to Raj during the break.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Because I was like, I need your thoughts on something.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: We aren't that far into the season that's the ninth
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: game of the year. I got a lot of concerns
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: about what the Nuggets are.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Or what they are not.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: You know what, Moshe? Strike that. I take your comment.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: What they aren't. I have a concern about what they
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: are not.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: And I think what they are not is a team
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: that is a West contender.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: It just doesn't feel that way. Very top-heavy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: And even in the starting five, I'll tell you directly
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: what my concern is. Our concern forever has been Aaron Gordon,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: whether he can stay healthy. My concern now is Aaron Gordon,
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: whether he can play to the level that we need
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: him to. And that is a different scare. It's one
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: thing to hold your breath like, please, Hammy, don't blow up,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: all that different stuff. It's another thing to be at
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the point where you're like, does he still got it?
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Is it still there? Sorry, one last thing. I made
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: the comparison to J.K. Dobbins earlier.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Because they felt like the same guy last year. It
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: was a necessary piece for your success, that guy being
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: in the lineup and being healthy. But you were scared
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: you couldn't trust him to stay healthy. This year, I'm wondering,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: if J.K. Dobbins can stay healthy or not, does he
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: have the ability still? And I'm starting to question that
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: with A.G., and that's terrifying me.
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's one of those, the great boss Spearman once said,
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: now there's justice and there's vengeance, and then there's two
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: different things. There's, hey man, can he stay healthy and
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: so you can win versus, hey, can the guy just
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: even get there anymore?
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: On a consistent basis. He can have one-off games and
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: that sort of thing, but Vic, you know how much
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: I love A.G.? I mean, I absolutely adore that guy.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: I love everything about him. I love how hard he's worked.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: I love his brain. I love his ability when he's
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: really on. It's just that I'm getting to the place
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: where Brett is, where there's actual fear in my heart
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: that he's just not the same dude anymore and that
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: dude ain't coming back. And that's a scary, that is
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: a scary place for me to be.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: Well, I hope there still remains in there.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: I never thought I would hope for this. I never
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: thought I would say this. But it's my only hope
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: is that maybe there's something that's bothering him physically that
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: he's sorting through, that he's getting through, that he's trying
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: to work out. And then once he does, he'll get
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: back to what he is. But I don't see that pop.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: You know that pop?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you where I think it's gone missing. I've
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: mentioned this before. I give A.G.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: A ton of credit for at this point in his career,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: he has turned himself into a three-point shooter. Now, numbers
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: aren't great this year, but we've seen it. Like, he
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: shot 44% a couple years ago from three. That is
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: elite three-point shooting. I almost feel like that's come at
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the expense of what his game should be centered around,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: which is the inside part.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: The cutting.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: The dunking. The bully ball.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: What I'm trying to tell you is I don't know
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: that he's that guy anymore.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: He's shooting less than 40% from the field this year.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: But I just don't know that his body, and either
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: it's a real thing with his body, or it's a
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: psychological thing with his brain and his body. He doesn't behave,
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: and he doesn't play the same game he played four
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: years ago.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: He just doesn't.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: Now, you may say that that's what the Nuggets really
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: need is his old game, and I would agree with you.
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: But again, why I'm throwing it to Vic here is
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: I'm just not sure we're going to get that anymore.
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: Watching these guys pass up opportunities and pass up shots
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: to defer to just the two All-Stars, you can't have
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: that and expect to win on a consistent basis.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: You just can't. So maybe there comes a time when
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you've got to experiment.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Maybe one of the kids goes into the starting rotation,
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: you bring him off, and you limit his minutes so
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: he's not playing 30 a night, so that he's playing
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: maybe 20 or 22, and then his body can react
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: in a positive way. I don't know what the answer is, Vic.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: I really have no idea. I'm just trying to find
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: something here that's going to salve the wound.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's all I'm doing.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: With each year that we get removed from the championship season,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: And the numbers and the dollars that you're paying to
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: the guys that got you the championship has put you
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: in a cap-restricted place, right?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: A bind.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Bind.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: So with each year that we get removed from that,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: the depth of this team has taken a hit. Out
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: goes KCP. Out goes Michael Porter Jr. Out goes this guy.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Out goes Peyton Watson. You know what I mean? Like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: each year it just feels like one piece of something
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: you've relied upon has left, which puts more stress.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: On the people at the top, right?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Now you become even more top-heavy in a sense of
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: these guys need to produce. Well, what happens when the
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: top-heavy nature of your team has pieces that aren't producing
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: to the level that are necessary?
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: I'm not going crazy here because I sort of saw
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: this coming.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: No, you did. You did.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: I'm not losing my, you know what?
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: We talked at length in the summertime, Vic. You were
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: very perceptive about this. This might be a step back
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: year to be able to get to where you need
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: to be next year and the year beyond.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Listen, and I hate to say this, in November, hopefully
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: they surprise us. Hopefully things happen. Hopefully things come together.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: But I'm not pulling my hair out. I'm not ready
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: to jump. I'm not ready to do any of that
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: because things work in cycles, man. And this is where
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: they are in the cycle.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: They.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: The CBA put this in. Somebody asked me this yesterday.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Why would they trade Michael Porter Jr.? Why would they
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: do that?
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: Well, you tell me. Why did they do that motion?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Because they had to.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Why did they have to?
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: Because they couldn't afford. They couldn't go into the tax.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: They couldn't go into that second apron anymore. Or they
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: couldn't do it, period.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: The CBA has forced teams to do things.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: It's so prohibitive.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's forced teams to do things that they did
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: not want to do. It set up a domino effect. Now,
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: there are some deals that they've done in that five,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: six-year span that don't make any sense that we can
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: get into.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: You know, moving up in the draft and giving up
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: four picks in the process. I get it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: There are things that were done. But disassembling your team
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: when they did is something that was caused by financial issues.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: More than anything. And not even financial because they still
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: have the highest– they pay the most money right now.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: In the NBA.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: There's– currently still a second apron team, right?
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. But they're going to get out of that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: It's going to happen. They're not going to live in
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: that second apron. It would be prohibitively stupid to live there.
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: And before the fans say, well, why they can afford
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: to live in the second apron, nobody in this league
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: lives in the second apron.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Period. End of story. You can't afford it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Not only is it just ridiculously expensive and the taxes
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: on it are insane, but It is so prohibitive to
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: a team to be able to do anything. I mean,
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: any move whatsoever when you're in the second apron, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: just can't do because of the rules.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Nobody lives there.
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: Hell, the Boston Celtics, they win a championship, and the
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: owner says, adios, thank you, got my ring.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: Blew the whole team up and sold the damn team
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: because they couldn't do it, Vic. I mean, it works
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: that way for everybody in the entire league, so don't bring.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That to me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Somebody writes in, it's not even a step back, though.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: They're not making moves to improve their future. I want
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: you to take on the role of GM. What moves
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: do you make necessarily to improve your future outside of
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: selling off everything?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree with you. To that texture's point, though,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: it's easier to stomach... taking a step back if you
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: have light at the end of the tunnel on how
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: it's going to get better. But taking a step back
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: and not seeing that light at the end of the
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: tunnel doesn't make you feel any better.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Well, maybe you don't see what their plan is. Maybe
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: they don't want you to know their plan.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: They haven't announced their plan. Maybe they have a plan.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: Do you think it would– let me ask you something.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Do you think it would benefit a franchise to tell
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: its fan base, hey, everybody, this year we're going to
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: sort of suck a little bit, but– Do you think
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: that announcement should have been made?
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, hang on.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: This.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: They're not stupid.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I know they have a plan moving forward, but not
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: being able to see it right now is just not.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: You don't see it.
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: But again, if you make an announcement of what the
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: plan is, you're telling fans.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, Vic, I get it. What I'm saying is.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: It would be like being a Chargers fan right now.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: They're really bad. And then you're like, okay, we're bad.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: So then what?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Not seeing the plan moving forward, even though you know
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: the team has won.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: It's just as a fan, you're like, well, what is
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: the suffering I'm doing for then? I want to get
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: back to the championship level stuff.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Do you think.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: A guy like Aaron Gordon, guys like CB, guys that
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: were the core part of this team that won this
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: city's very first NBA championship. Do you think they've earned
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: the right, earned the right by delivering that?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: To get out of, yeah, to swim their way out
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: of this, whatever this is.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I used to have this conversation.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: I used to have this conversation with Big 50 all
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: the time about the Broncos. And he goes, listen, Super
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Bowl championships by you. credibility they buy you time they buy.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: You and they buy you goodwill for for there's got
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: to be that that's correct where does the goodwill end
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: that no that's that is that's a Brett.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That's a great question I'll know it when I see
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: it but I'm going to tell you this right now
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: when I see.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: It I'm going to tell you this right now this
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: is the truth and most you know if you had
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: told me in 2000 the year 2005 pick a number
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: hey I'm gonna get you championship in 23 And you
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: may not win another one for a while. You might
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: think you can, but you may not win another one
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: for a while. You might suffer a little bit. You
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: might go through a roller coaster. But I'm going to
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: get you that championship in 23. Yeah, you take it
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: all day and all night.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: Do you know how fast a Nuggets fan would run
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: to that table and pick up the keys? And I
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: know you don't want to think that way because everybody
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: wants to think in terms of dynasties and legacies and
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: all that. I know that. There's a reason eight different
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: champions have won.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Eight?
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: Different champions have won in the NBA.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: There's a reason for that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: 303-504-0925. Shop Mazda text line. One price, one person, one hour. Oh,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: by the way, next.
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Bye.
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: Anime, Star Wars, Star Trek.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: The toilet suddenly shattered and collapsed beneath him. Wait, are
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: you still driving that Honda? Oh, by the way, with
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Mosher Lombardi and Kane. Pay attention and stop looking at
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: that squirrel. Brought to you by Don's Garage Doors. For

• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: we feel like you should be aware of.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: First of all, Moj, can you do this for me?
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Because it is the month of November, and November is
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Hockey Fights Cancer Month, which is a huge thing, obviously,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: for blood donations and the Avs and Vitalant teaming up together.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: They certainly are. To donate blood here in the month
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: of November, help fight cancer. This is Hockey Fights Cancer Month.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Over 25% of blood donations go directly to cancer patients
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: and their treatment centers. And everyone who donates, as you
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: probably heard earlier, everyone who donates automatically entered to win
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: a 26-27 Avalanche team signed stick or a Josh Manson
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: signed stick. So go to Vitalant.org forward slash Hockey Fights
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: Cancer and get on that because there's not one person watching, listening,
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: or personally affected by this insidious disease.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: So please try to take care of it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Moshe.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: You start.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: Vic, I'm glad you're back. 51 years ago today, something happened.
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Do you recall what that was?
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Hold on a second. That would be 51 years ago.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Today. I have no idea. Do you want to hit?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I know what it is. The story it's told from
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the Chippewa on down. Nellie, hit it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: All right. Make the call, get your goomy. Never gives
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: up her dead. November turned gloomy.
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: Nellie, Nellie, get off the air. Nellie, take your picture
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: off the air. Let him fill this time. Nellie, let
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: him fill this time.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: Turn off the music.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: 51 years ago today, ladies and gentlemen, the wreck of
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior. It's amazing that ship
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: went down. Not a distress call, nothing. They don't know
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: how it sank. It's just a sad story, but it's
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: also an emotional one because Gordon Lightfoot wrote a brilliant
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: song about it, 29 Souls.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: All right, are we back?
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah. All right, cool.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, so let me ask you guys
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: a question.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: You can't tell me you don't like that song. Don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: be a jerk about it. You know. You know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: I read something from Mike Silver. Vic, jump back on here, please.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Is this a guy that just wants to have a
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: sight set for the future, or is this real, you think?
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Mike Silver says this. Remember, when Jack Campbell.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Was carted off, he had the neck spine injury.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very scary.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: So he had movement in his legs, but... He's struggling
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: to move his upper body. That's getting better, I suppose.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Not a lot of updates coming from this. Mike Silver said,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: people in the Lions building reportedly believe Jack Campbell is
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: coming back to play this season.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Is that a.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Guy who went through a traumatic thing that needs a
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: goal in mind?
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Or do you think this is real?
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Because I can't imagine if I had that kind of
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: injury that I would just come back and play a
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: few weeks later.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: You know what.
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: I mean?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Dude, it was scary. It happened in Buffalo. When you
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: saw him on the field, dude, it was scary.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: And he's playing to this day. The guy in Buffalo
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: is playing football today.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Well, that wasn't a spine, Vic. That was a heart thing.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: He almost died.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: He was dead.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: He actually did die.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: He died.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: All I'm saying is.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: if you're him though, like I remember this happened, look,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: not to compare these things, but just as an example,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: when I took a 92 mile an hour fastball off
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: my helmet that almost hit me in the face and
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: I stepped.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: In the batter's box, my next at bat, I was horrified.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I was absolutely terrified.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: And I can't imagine if that happened to me on
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: a football field that I'm not in the back of
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: my head thinking about that the next time I go
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: out there, right?
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't that just be a natural human thing?
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: I think it probably would be. I mean, I can't
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: imagine it wouldn't be. I, I would be terrified, too. Oh,
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: by the way, Vic, do you have one, or should
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: I go again? I've got one, but go ahead.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: Somebody on the Twitch wonders, which one of you is
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: breathing so hard into the mic?
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: That was you. That was you upon re-entering this segment.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: Was I doing this?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: You had your headphones off, and you were going, I
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: don't know if you ran up a flight of stairs
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: on the way back.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Or what? Go ahead. Did you see what happened.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: Yesterday with the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-1 win against Vancouver?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Did not.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: Well, their prized young stud, Matvey Michkov, and defenseman Nick
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Seeler got in an argument on the bench. Or one
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: guy was on the bench and one guy was on
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: the ice, and it was about you're not passing the puck.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: You're not doing it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, shouldn't we see more of that around sports
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: where two guys in the same team get in a fight,
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: an argument?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But that's what happened.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Maybe it went unnoticed, but Eric Johnson has come on
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: out and said, look, I got thoughts on this. He goes,
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: I am going to give you my thoughts. Both guys
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: are to blame, but I'm going to tell you Flyers
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: fans aren't going to like it. He laid some groundwork there.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: E.J. did the former Flyer.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: This just in. Is that the name of the segment?
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: Yes. Yes.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: That's what this is called.
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: This just in.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Jesse Rogers, who covers MLB for the White Sox and Cubs.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: How dare you?
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: What?
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: I was going to do this, but go ahead.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: You know this is my deal. Why would you take mine?
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: You know what I like.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: You know what I like. Go ahead. He reports that
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: the GM meetings are taking place right now, and the
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: general manager meetings are a big deal in baseball.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: In the MLB, yeah.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: So the GM meetings are taking place, and they decided
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: to hold at these meetings a pickleball tournament.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: My favorite sport, pickleball. Guess who won the GM pickleball tournament?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: You think the Rockies can't win anything?
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: We got a championship here in Colorado.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Who says the Rockies can't win, baby?
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: You'd like that, wouldn't you? This just in from the
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: GM meeting, the Rockies execs out-dueled the Marlins team to
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: win the second annual GM meeting pickleball tournament.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: It's official, guys.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: The Rockies have won the offseason. This just in, or breaking.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: News, or whatever term you want to use.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: What Rory said about DeChambeau, now that live golf is.
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: I was going to do this one. He's not wrong,
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: but the way he said it, Rory loves.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: To take shots at guys. He loves it. No, no, no.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: He loves to take shots at live guys, but he
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: especially loves to take shots at Bryson.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: So what did he say about Bryson DeChambeau now that
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: he's kind of golf homeless? Yeah, I think a name
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: like Bryson DeChambeau and everything he brings with him, good
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: and bad, would bring eyeballs to the DP World Tour.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Good and bad.
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: I guess he's going to play in December in the
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: tournament in South Africa is DeChambeau.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Hang on, hang on, Moshe.
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: Hang on. Yeah.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Here's another quote.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Honestly, look, I'm certainly not in his shoes and nor
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: would I ever want to be. But it doesn't seem
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: like he's got many options. You know, if he wants
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: to play competitive golf, he doesn't have options. He loves
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: taking shots.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, he does.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: He does.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, I don't know if you guys,
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: an outstanding story was written and released yesterday about how
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: into it Jonte Porter was with this betting stuff.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, I saw that. That's, that's, that's tough.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Some of the detail in this story is remarkable, but
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: I had no idea this existed except for Peaky Blinders.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: In 2022, Jonte owed like $ 160, 000 on a bet he lost,
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: and he met this dude who's a heavily tattooed fitness influencer.
• 40:31
