• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's a Surfside. Now, let's tackle some football analysis.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Sit down to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident, you
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com. Chad Brown,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: who joins us every Thursday, is now with us.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Hello, Chad.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Good morning, fellas. How are you guys doing?
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I want to congratulate you on emerging from your ayahuasca retreat.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it was very spiritual for you, and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: hope you had a good time licking frogs.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That's what it looks like.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: My daughter and son-in-law are here at the house, so
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: they have taken my normal broadcasting spot for sleeping. So, yes,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I am in the darkest room in the house, apparently.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Love it, man.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Chad, let's start here. I think the Broncos, they've beaten
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: me into submission, okay? Like a high school bully, they
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: have punched me in the face so many times that
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I finally just, you know what, fine, I changed my mind.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I guess they don't need to have fast starts. I'm just,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you know what? I'm done talking about it. Three and outs,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: you know, first half over and over again. Do whatever
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you want because you'll come back and win. My whole
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: thing was you can't start slow and beat elite teams
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: in this league. Well, the Rams are pretty elite and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: they did that anyway. What's your read on this?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I wish I had something deeper and more profound than
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: what you just said, but that certainly seems to be
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: And while I don't want to be beaten into submission
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: about what I think and consider to be good football
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: and conventional football wisdom, the Broncos are defying that. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: so it hurts me in my football hurt hole that
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: you can do that because there's a certain way you're
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: supposed to play the game. There's a certain way you're
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: supposed to approach the game. And one of those foundational
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: things is that it's a 60-minute game. On one hand,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: that means you can come back in the second half
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And it's more important with how you finished and how
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: you start. But on the other hand, you're supposed to
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: play the full 60 minutes to the best of your ability.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: And that's how you will figure out a way to win.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: And to your point, particularly against good teams. And so
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: now as they are in this six game stretch of
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: mostly good teams, we thought this would be a test
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: of this way that they won last year. All it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: doing is proving me and you wrong here. And it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: making me sad, to be perfectly honest.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Chad, people come to us. They want to find
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: out what our thoughts are on what the Broncos are doing.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: And I just keep saying they're going against every grain
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: of football knowledge that I thought I had. And Sean
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Payton comes out after the game the other day, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: he says, you know, we can't keep having these slow starts.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And Brett goes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Can you?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: And so I figured it out. You ready for this, guys?
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: They just hit me. This is an epiphany. You know
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: who the Denver Broncos are? They are Ferris Bueller.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Expand upon that, please.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: They get away with everything. They never get caught. You
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: see what I'm saying? Ferris Bueller is day off. His
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: sister is so pissed at him, right?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Remember?
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: She's so pissed. For people who have seen Ferris Bueller's
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: day off. She's so mad at him because he gets
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: away with everything. And she gets away with nothing. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: nobody else gets away with anything. But Ferris Bueller gets
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: away with everything. That's what it feels like. They're in
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: the parade downtown. They're at the Cubs game getting the
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: foul ball. They're driving his buddy's dad's Ferrari. He's running
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: through the neighborhood and he's back home by the time
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: the principal gets there. That's the Denver Broncos playing football
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: from first half to second half.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: So when I expressed conventional football wisdom, how you can't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: play this number of close games and expect to win
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: as many as they did last year, I was branded,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: at least locally in some places, I'm a Bronco hater.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I don't believe in the Broncos. And so you're speaking
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to this experience where, again, I'm going against... Gosh, I
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: started playing tackle football when I was nine. I started
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: playing football overall when I was five. I'm 56 years
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: old right now. So in some cases, we're going against...
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: 51 years of football knowledge, experience, and wisdom where this
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: team continues to defy that. And so I'm not a
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: hater and I wasn't a hater last year either. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: just had never seen the Ferris Bueller football path to
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: victory before. I've seen it in, one or two games
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: or in very isolated circumstances, but I did not see
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: it as a way for your football team to operate.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chad, for a month, you're like, wow, they've kind
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: of got away with it for a month. This has been, honestly,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: it hasn't been two years and change, but it's been
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: probably midway through Bo Nix's rookie season, maybe a little
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: bit before that, right around there, maybe week six, all
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: the way to where we are now, more often than not,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: in the vast majority of the time, they pull it out, dude.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Now, we saw this with Tim Tebow, but we also
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: knew that the Tim Tebow-ness was not going to be
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: long-term sustainable. And so there was a certain superiority that
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I felt as a football person that I was not
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: falling into the Tebow trap because I knew that that
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: was not going to work long-term. Now I've been robbed
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of that superiority because I can't say that this is
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: not going to work long-term. Now, of course, it didn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: work in a championship game, but we were without our quarterback.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: So a little bit of an extra circumstance thrown into
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: that one. So do I wish for them to get
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: their fair justice in a bigger game down the road
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: at some place? No, I don't. I want this to continue.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It's a magical ride. And from a football fan perspective,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: we always say we want games to come down to
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: the last play. Well, that game against the Rams literally
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: came down to the last play. and still the Broncos
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: found a way to get it done. So I'm not
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: sure if there's a better test than that to their
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: current philosophy and way of going about and trying to
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: win football games.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Chad Brown with us, all conversation with Chad. I brought
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: you by Surfside, 100 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: zero bubbles. It's not a seltzer, it's Surfside. So, Chad,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Davis Webb, what grade do you give him so far
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: through three weeks?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I would give Davis Webb a B, a solid B.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Because some of the slow starts, some of the inefficiencies
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: offensively are coming from him. But see, this is where
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: there's two sides to everything. You got to admire a
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: guy who on the broadcast, I know a lot of
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: folks were in the stadium, but on the broadcast, they
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: were questioning if Sean Payton was going to take back
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: play calling from Davis Webb. So this thought that it's just,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: you know, it's all perfect right now, just isn't true,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: whether it's for the players and even to the play calling.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: So he falls into this trap as well as why
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: so bad and oh my goodness, how is it turning
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: so good? Like you're walking onto the wall and flipping
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: a switch on the wall and suddenly everything I do
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: is magical. It seems to be an unexplained phenomenon so far.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: I was asking Nelly to get the cut from Kyle
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Shanahan regarding that, which I thought was very interesting.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan's a pretty smart guy, right? And he was
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: asked about Davis Webb calling plays and what he's seen
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: and so on and so forth. And only if you
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: do have it, that's fine. If you don't, I'll paraphrase here.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I put you on the spot and I apologize. Basically,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: he's saying, Sean Payton's all over this.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Unless Sean Payton is a ventriloquist, I don't see it
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: from a watching the game perspective.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But Chad, I mean, it's his offense. It's his design.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: It's still heavily Sean Payton-influenced, is it not? Correct, no.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton did not say, invent your whole offense and scheme,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Davis Webb. No, when they go over the plays that
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: are going to be on the play sheet and they
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: go over the scenarios where each play fits, this is
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: third and short, this is third and medium, this is
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: third and long, this is fourth and one, this is
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: our got-to-have-it plays, this is our two-point plays, of course
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton's involved in that. He's not sitting up his
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: office talking to Kay Adams the entire time. No, he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: still working on the playbook. So, yes, Sean Payton's hands
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: are all over this. But during the game, it's not
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: hard to see that Sean Payton is stalking the sideline,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: hands on knees, trying to rest his sore back, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: he's allowing Davis Webb to actually call the plays.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Chad Brown with us.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I do want to move to something else here. So
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: see you after having, I think, a promising first couple
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: of weeks to the season.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Maybe come back.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Come back down to earth a little bit in the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: last couple of weeks two different things in that on
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: that subject number one when Dion says in the post
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: game against Baylor I feel like we're better than the
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: teams that were playing but the results aren't showing that
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: what's what's your reaction to him saying.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: That well he said two different things he said we're
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: better than that and I think he was alluding to
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: the effort or the result of that game. Then he said,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I feel often we are the better team than our opponent.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: So that's two different ways to talk about being better.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: One of those is literally you're saying we're better than
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: that team over there. Well, if that continues to be
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: the case and you're not winning football games, then we've
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: got to understand why. If I had a faster race
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: car than you, Moj, and I continually lost the race
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: to you, at some point, it would be fair to
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: ask about Chad, the race car driver, if I thought
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I had a faster car, but I do not win.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: So that's a fair question, right? Logically, that follows that
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: kind of thinking. And then when you say we're better
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: than that, I think he's alluding to, in that statement,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the coaching or football thing sometimes where people fall in
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: love with potential versus production. And those are two vastly,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: vastly different things. And when I did my coaching internships
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: and we would do the personnel aspect of the preseason
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: during training camp, the scouts would come in, the general
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: manager would come in, and the position coaches, we would
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: give our evaluation of the players. And somewhere along the line,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: some coach would start talking about potential. And there would
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: be some old coach in the room who would interrupt
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and say, well, if you keep on talking about potential,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: we're all going to be looking for a job because
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: potential is going to get our butts kicked. And he
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: would say it in a much more harsh tone than that,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: because potential is being, you know, excited by someone's talent,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: but until it's consistent, until it knows how to not
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: commit penalties, until it knows how to be that talent
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: can be sustained, then it's just enough to get you beat.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Cause that's why they're on the field. You fall in
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: love with these splash couple of plays, but if we
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: think about it on a, you know, one to 10 scale,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: If somebody's a nine and then sometimes they're a three, well,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: we don't know who they're going to be on a
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: given play. So if I'm calling plays on third down,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: is this guy going to be a nine as a
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: wide receiver or is he going to be a three?
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Is he going to misread the coverage, run the wrong
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: route and not be where he's supposed to be? So
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: that's why as a coach, you've got to fall in
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: love with production over potential. And sometimes a guy is
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: just a seven. Great. But if he's a seven every
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: single play, And then me as a play caller, as
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: a coach, I know I can count on that guy
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: in a situation. It's my job to maximize his seven
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: ability because he's consistent. And so there's a couple of
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: things to parse apart in that quote from Dion, which
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: wants to explain the two different ways he was talking
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: about being better and why, in my opinion, it still
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: didn't line up with being a good football program or
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: a good football team when you talk about it those ways.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: The potential thing is perfect. Then to lead into this,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: and we'll let you go with this one, a two-parter here.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Number one, It looks like Zach Wilson's younger brother, Isaac Wilson,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: is going to get the start this weekend.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Number one, do you agree with that?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And number two, what happens with Juju Lewis now on
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the subject of potential slash production?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: This is another fascinating thing because Coach Prime said, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: ain't never seen nobody develop on the bench. So if
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: this is to help Juju's development, then how does he
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: get better here? Using that quote. I would disagree. I've
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: seen players get better on the bench. I've seen players
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: get some time on the field and then get benched
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: because they weren't quite ready and then learn on the
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: sideline and learn and be able to see someone else
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: do their job and go, that's, I didn't see it
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: that way. Oh, I see what he's doing. I understand
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: if I just get back, when my opportunity comes to
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: get back on the field, I'm going to do A, B,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and C that that guy is doing because that's something
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I didn't see before. So there's that, but then if
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: we're going to believe Coach Prime at his quote, then
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: juju thing is now over. That's a great point. Some
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: of this gets a little confusing with some of the
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: quotes and catchphrase coaching that Coach Prime does at press
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: conferences because it all doesn't add up to what I
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: think of as the lens that I see football through
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: because I've seen players do that. So hopefully his quote
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: was just a quote and just him talking, and there
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: is a second reality there to this where Juju can
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: develop on the bench and become better. And hopefully his
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: time at CU is not over. I think Zach Wilson
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: does give us a better chance right now because he's
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: more confident. He seems to be a bolder quarterback and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the boldness was what Juju was missing. But overall, I
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: think the talent level and the star rating coming out
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: of high school where Juju is a guy who's got
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: some generational talent, if all the things line up, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: things clearly are not lined up for him from a
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: comfortability standpoint. So that's why Isaac Wilson is going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: be playing on Saturday against Texas tech.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Chad Brown joins us every single week on Thursdays. Always
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: appreciate the time chat.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Thank you, buddy.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Thanks guys. Always great to be out with you.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: That is such a great point from him.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I think that, that a couple of quotes from Dion,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: but one of them that was in reference to the,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: you don't get better by being on the bench.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: I think that was in regards to Shador, right?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: That, You know, when they were talking about him maybe
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: being drafted by the Ravens and sitting behind Lamar Jackson,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: he goes, who gets better by sitting on the bench?
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Well, what are you going to say to Juju now?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Right, Brett, I got to say.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: They better hang in there early because I'm afraid that
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: this has the potential to get away from them very
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: quick this weekend.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: And, you know, what's also wrong with him pulling an
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: upset from time to time?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: No kidding. Is that too much to ask?
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: You're capable.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Is it too much to ask? I mean, we see
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: it in college football every week.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The hell can't the buffs pull off an upset sometime,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: especially at home. Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It's they're only 12 and a half point dogs, man.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Like number 12 team in the country.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: You're playing at home. You're 12 and a half point dogs.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: You can do it. Hey, make this a historic day, man.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Um, We get back to the Avs. Season opener, an
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: 8-4 win, and another keyword next.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: All right, another keyword here. Keyword for this hour, as.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: It is an Avs Ticket Tuesday, and you can win
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: a pair of tickets to Saturday's division rivalry game against St.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Louis at Ball Arena.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Finish. I got a thought.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: It's also the first family-packed game of the season. Family-packed
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: ticket packages are customizable. to your family size and includes
• 16:25

  Speaker 3: text Johnny in your first and last name to 303-504-0925.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: That's Johnny to 303-504-0925.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Is it Johnny with an H?
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: It is Johnny with an H.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And a Y.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: And a Y.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Have you picked up on the theme yet? I didn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: get it. Nelly had to tell me.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: What were the words again?
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: It was roll.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: It was over, it was Johnny, and we have one
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: more left, the 9 o'clock.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Roll over Johnny. No.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: When you see the last one, you'll get it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: When I saw all four of them together, it immediately clicked.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: But it is Johnny in your first and last name,
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: so text that in.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: So we gave away two pair of tickets yesterday to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: opening night, correct?
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: Correct. And now another pair.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: So we had four people, all four people. Two winners
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: and their guests went last night.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Not to mention that we had it a few weeks ago.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: We gave away like four pairs of tickets at the opener.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You know, how about a thank you?
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, give us a thank you.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: You know, like when you let somebody in in traffic
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: and they don't even give you the wave, I'm like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I say that a lot.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like, give me the wave. You better give me
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the wave.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: That's all you need. I just need just one hand
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: up in the air for a second.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Just give a wave.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Just acknowledge that I'm a nice guy. That's all I need.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I had a gal yesterday on my way to the rink.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: And I let her in, and she rolled down her
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: window just enough to barely stick her hand out the window,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: and she gave a couple little fingers like this.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Like, good enough. Absolutely good enough. Thank you very much.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: You could give me actually the finger if you want to.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Just an acknowledgment of something.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Exactly right.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: So that was obviously they got the payoff last night
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: because the Avs scored eight goals.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And McKinnon beat up Clark.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Scored eight goals. McKinnon had two.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: He beat up Clark.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: You had four power play goals last night, which is
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: something that everybody wanted to see. Now, you didn't want
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: to see two shorties giving up, but still, that's a
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: net plus two.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: We'll take it. That's clean up-able.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: How do I put it, Brett? It's very clean up-able.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Well, and this is what I tell you.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I think that game ones in football, basketball, hockey, whatever,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: when you play a team sport, the first game of
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the year is always ones where you're going to have.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Weirdness and sloppiness to it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, the.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: Broncos certainly had it. They couldn't tackle the first week
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: of the season against Kansas City.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And I think last night, the first goal you allowed,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I think, was an example of new guys on the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: roster that in due time will get enough chemistry and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: know the system that they're running where mistakes like that
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: won't happen. Burns is following his guy around the net.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: He takes him all the way to the blue line
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: where he's basically shoulder-to-shoulder now with Jaden Schwartz. It looked
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: like Schwartz thought that there was going to be a
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: handoff between him and Burns. There wasn't two guys on
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: one guy, kick it out to the open, dude, he scores.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Little stuff like that is something you can clean up.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I think the shorthanded stuff in the power play is
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: stuff you can clean up.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: If you're taking anything negative out of the.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Power play because you gave up a couple of shorties
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: in the first game, I think you're nuts, considering you
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: scored four. And the bigger detail to me is... Not
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: just that you scored four power play goals on five opportunities.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: And I believe the five was the second half of
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the five on three, right? After you scored immediately. It's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: that three of the four were scored by your second unit.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: And we've seen forever, the Avs have been a team
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: where you get on a power play, that first unit's
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: out there for a.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Minute and 40 seconds.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: The second unit is jumping on to clean up the
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: last 20 and hopefully just get the puck in the zone.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Giving them extra time and seeing how they handle it,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: that was impressive.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Really impressive.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: It was impressive. And listen, man, it's good to have. Again,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: I said it earlier in the program, but I'm going
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: to hold Jared Bednar to this, and I think he's
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: probably going to hold himself to this. If that first
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: unit isn't clicking, when you look at that second unit
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: and you look who's on that second unit with Nelson
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: and Schwartz and Leckie, I go on, you know, and
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Taves running. That's a pretty damn good unit, Brett. I mean,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: it's a good unit. And I wouldn't even argue at
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: times it's a simpler unit. Does that make sense? It's
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: a bit of a simpler unit. Bang it, retrieve it,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: score it. And that's kind of what happened on that
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: first Nelson goal.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Certainly two different styles to the first and second power
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: play unit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Back across to Brock, and he bounds it off the
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: pad and in.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: That's kind of it, but they're both very capable in
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: different ways.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I go back to the McKinney goals. That was Schwartz, right,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: that fed it across? Correct.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: He was probably looking for Leckanen, wasn't he, in the middle?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: And just skip through?
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I think Leckie actually tried to take a swipe at it,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and it skips through to Nelson, and bam. And that's
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: what creates the chaos, which is great, which is why
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Arturi Lekkonen plays a foot taller than he is, because
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: he will get right there to the top of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: blue paint and get ugly, and he'll draw attention.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Can I say something right now?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: I need Leckie back on this team next year, bro.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Last year of his contract, I don't want that guy
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: going anywhere.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Agreed.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: What goal is it I'm thinking of? I've got to
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: go back and look at it. Is it the Waugh goal? No,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: it's the Leckie. I think it's the first Leckie goal.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: But let's go to the McKinnon real quick. That 5-on-3, Cadry,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: and I had a great perspective on this. Cadry's patient, patient.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: He's got to send it through a leg. and then
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: threw a stick. It's like almost a little baby sauce
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: to McKinnon. And so what does Nate do? He just
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: absolutely pounds it. I mean, pounds it, which is brilliant.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: And it's just a good, smart kind of goal. The
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: second one, the little drop pass from Natchez, and he rocks, Brett.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: If you watch the goal and watch how he scores
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: it and where he throws it, It seems so nonchalant,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: but it's so.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Difficult with what he did.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Because he's got a rock and he's got to go
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: across his body on his off wing and across Kemper's
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: body and inside the far post. And it's a weird angle,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: but it's got to go off the toe on that
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: sort of like, it's a funky wrister, right? And then
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: it's rising. I mean, it's such a brilliant shot. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: you think in real time and in traffic like that,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: who can make that play?
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Let me go to the Lekanen goal. That made it 6-3.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: And this is where Jaden Schwartz is, his veteran presence
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: is smart. The play's developing, and he's basically parked at
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: the side of the crease, and he's engaged by a defenseman.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: He sees the play develop. He starts pulling back from
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: the crease. It pulls the defenseman with him. and it
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: opens up that side of the net so when it
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: goes into the slot to Leckanen, he's able to bang
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: it to the spot that both those guys just vacated. Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: If Schwartz is standing there battling in front of the net,
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: that puck's not going to get in because it's going
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: to hit him or it's going to hit the defenseman.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: You've got Kemper, and then those two guys hogging up
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: three quarters of the net. He specifically backs out, drags
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: the D-man with him to open up that side, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Kemper doesn't know which way Lekanen's going to go, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: he bangs it in.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, just real smart-heady stuff. And the stuff that
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: you did not do well last night, your rush coverage,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: that's easily, easily fixable.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Easily.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: So a couple of guys I just want to highlight.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Number one is McKenzie Blackwood. I thought he was, you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the numbers say he didn't have a great game. I
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: know there's a couple he probably wants back. They were
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: putting him in some really difficult positions, and I think
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: he saved your butt on more than a handful of circumstances.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I think overall he played a pretty good game. Now,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: my assumption would be that Wedgie's going to get the
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: start on Saturday. That would be my assumption.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: No?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. The St.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Louis Blues open up their season tomorrow night in Dallas.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: So the Avs are going to get them on a
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: back-to-back on Saturday.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: So.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: If you look at the St. Louis Blues, and I
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: think they're improved. I think they're a fairly decent club.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I'm assuming Bennington is going to go tomorrow night in
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Dallas in the opener.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And then we're going to get Joel Hofer.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: With two days off in between for the Avs today
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: and tomorrow, and then you play Saturday... Would you start
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Blackwood again? Well, I don't know if it's... Because then
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: you have a back-to-back coming up. Your next games will
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: be at Winnipeg and Calgary back-to-back, and so clearly, Wedge,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: you'll get one of those.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess maybe you're right.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking of it like a rest thing for Blackwood.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I was thinking of it like.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Wedgewood was your... They were both healthy in the playoffs,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: and Wedgewood was your starter.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I just, I don't know. I know he told us
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: that he wants McKenzie to be the... Number one goalie.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I still wonder if there's going to be a lot
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: more of a rotation than you'd expect. Now, the other
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: thing here is a lot was made about TJ Hughes.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: He makes his debut yesterday. He's on the first power
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: play unit. I do think he did a lot of
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: good things. There were mistakes, and I think that is just, hey,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it's my first NHL game, and I'm playing with Nathan McKinnon.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: That's never happened before. I think mistakes are going to
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: be made. But overall... I think.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: You saw the reasons why so many guys were optimistic
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: about him last night. TJ Hughes went out, first power
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: play unit, and I think on at least two different instances,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, one shot barely misses the net by about
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: an inch. He was in position to get maybe a
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: couple of goals last night.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: He just couldn't finish.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: So that's what he's sort of done since he became
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: a pro last year and then played with the Eagles.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: He puts himself in good positions. What he'll have to learn,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: and this will come at him quickly because this is
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: fire hose time.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: This is drinking through a fire hose. Yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: You're playing at the NHL level. And even in the preseason,
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: you can go hard, you can go fast, but you
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: cannot simulate what it's like to play National Hockey League,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: pump up big boy hockey. You've got to be in
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: it and you've got to learn. And he's going to
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: do that. His brain is good enough that he will
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: be able to adapt, and the game will start to
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: slow down for him as time goes on. But he
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: had some turnovers that were tough, a couple recoveries, that
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: sort of thing.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But guys are on you like that. Yep.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Guys get in your passing lane like that. Guys jump
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: you when you don't see it like that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: They are there. Guys smoke you. Guys are big. Guys
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: are fast. Guys are strong.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: And so all of that he will learn to adapt
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: as we go on here. These first 10 games, I think,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: are going to be a real learning, eye-opening experience for him.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: Being a pro at the NHL level, playing the NHL
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: level type of game. But once he starts to get
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: that hang of it, I think he's going to be just,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: just fine.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: With a couple minutes here, can I say something that
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I never thought I would say before.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: About Jerry Jones?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Wait, what?
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: I think Jerry Jones has done a.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Really good job in one category as the GM of
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys, which I don't think I've said in a
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Smiles and glory holes. They just made a trade this morning.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: You saw that.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: And it's on that subject. They trade for Joey Porter Jr.,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: a very good corner. Dallas' defense has been the reason
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: they can't win. For a couple years now. Their offense
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: has been money. We've seen the wideouts that they have.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: C.D.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Lamb and now George Pickens and Javante Williams had a
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: big year in the backfield. Dak Prescott's always at the
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: top of the list from a numbers perspective. They can't
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: stop anybody. They made the decision last year. I'm not
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: going to pay Micah Parsons, arguably the best pass rusher
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: League, $ 46. 5 million a year. Not doing it. They trade
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: him to Green Bay.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: They get not only two first-round picks in return mode,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: they get Kenny Clark, who's an all-pro interior defensive lineman.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: They trade one of those picks for Quentin Williams, who
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: is another all-pro interior defensive lineman. And then they go
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: out and they make this trade for Joey Porter Jr.,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: which involves a second-round pick. They are paying those three
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: players less, or I think equal to, what they would
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: have paid Micah Parsons. They're better on defense since making
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the move.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Not much. Well, they will be.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Those three players for Micah Parsons is a good trade.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: That's a good trade.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you, but the results have to
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: be there, Brett.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Well, that's why you go out and you get Joey
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Porter Jr. That's going to help your pass defense now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, they gave up 28, 20, and 31, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: they're 1-2.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: That's why you make the trade for Joey Porter Jr.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: is what I'm saying. That's why you do it. Now,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: that defense wasn't any better with Micah Parsons when he
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: was there. It's the same thing.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: You typically don't have really weird takes.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: This isn't a weird take.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: It's a weird take.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: This isn't weird at all.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: They're better. They're 1-2, and they've given up 28, 20,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and 31.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, they just made the trade for Joey Porter Jr.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: It just happened this morning. So how about you give
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: that a minute? Just a minute.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: No, you're just out of left field with a weird
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: take on me, man. I don't know what to do
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: with this.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Straw poll. What's the straw poll? I can't rely on
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: him today.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Straw poll. Oh, yeah.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: 303-504-0925.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Was that a weird take from Brett?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: That's a big trade that happened in the NFL this morning.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I understand that, but that's a weird take. Their defense
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: isn't any better. They still suck. As of right this second,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: they still stink. That's a weird... You've thrown me off, man.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's weird at all. 303-504-0925. Is that
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: a weird take from Brett? I don't speak English!
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Hey, did you guys know....
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting a weird take, Brett. This is, it's weird.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: There's two weird takes and there's two no good insights.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tobias and Todd, we don't count those people. Oh, see?
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Now, yeah, now look at it, Moj. Now who's winning
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: this battle in the straw?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Sorry that I have an intellectual take on football that
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't involve.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: It's a.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: It's a weird– hey, somebody with 3-1 would lay it down.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Just back off, will you? Cleveland-Pittsburgh tonight. DMACC is hosting
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: the viewing party at Stoney's on Lincoln. Join us starting
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: at 6 for Thursday Night Football. Great drink specials and
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: your chance to take home some prizes. We'll see you
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: at Stoney's on Lincoln tonight.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: If they were, let's say, 2-1 or 3-0 and the
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: defense has given up 16.5 per game, I would say
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: you're damn right on the money. But they're 1-2 and
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: they've given up at least 30 points once, almost 30
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: points another time.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: I don't even think this is arguable. What I have
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: just laid out to you is correct.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: It's factual.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: There's really no argument for it. They are better with
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: those three players than just having Micah Parsons.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Why do I need Jerry Jones in my life? You're
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: a freak. It was just a quick take. You're a freak. 303-504-0925.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Back after this.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Settle down just a little bit.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Stories out there that are weird and dumb.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: Bye.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of this alien crap. The. Is this for
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: your information? What's the name of this segment?
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Wait.

  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way.

  Speaker 2: Hey, we got a thank you from Ann Swan Evans.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I remember Swan.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Remember Ann Swan?
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Stop looking at me, Swan.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You're welcome, Ann Swan Evans. You're welcome. Go ahead.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's my start. Oh, by the way, stories around
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: sports in the world we feel like you should be
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: aware of. You got demolished on the text line when
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: you did your own straw poll thing and you.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Were going to win. The hell I did.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Crushed.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Because you don't understand nuance and you don't understand how
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: things work. You just don't get it. Admit that you
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: were wrong.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: You called for a straw poll and got beaten by
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: your own straw poll.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Not in a million years. Go ahead.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: No, that's what I had. Is that you got crushed.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: That's it. All right, let me say something. I'm not crazy.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: You're crazy.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way. That bleeping guy.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, is it me or have we
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: eradicated some diseases and viruses around North America? Like measles
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: are rare, polio doesn't happen, all this kind of thing.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: You know what's going on with San Diego State's football team?
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: And I know this is, I guess, a more common thing,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: but you just don't hear about it all the time.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Mumps.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: They got the mumps. And mumps sounds like it's fake,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: but mumps is a real deal. Yeah. It's a virus
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: that affects, what, the salivary glands? Is that correct?
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Something like that.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Didn't... There was a mumps outbreak in the NHL. Some
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: team had a mumps outbreak at one point.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Who the hell was that? It was the Pittsburgh Penguins.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Yeah, the Penguins had the mumps. I'm like....
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: How... Yeah, it sounds like... How do you get... A,
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: how do you get the mumps? B, how do you...
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Cure the mumps. What does the mumps look like? I
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: don't even think I've ever seen anybody with the mumps.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: I've only heard my whole life about mumps.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Help me.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: It sounds like if somebody said, hey, Washington State, the Cougars,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: got a game against Oregon this weekend. They're dealing with
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: bad case leprosy in that locker room.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: That's... Well, the problem with leprosy, well, leprosy is, I think,
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: pretty much eradicated around the world, right?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: The joke was, it's just not something you hear very often.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: Has somebody had leprosy in the last 10 years? Probably.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: They got bad cases of epentigo or something like that, right?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: The stuff that you.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Just don't hear about anymore, but the mumps is going
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: around San Diego State.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, the.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Niners are the Broncos opponent this weekend. There is a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: former Bronco that is playing for that Niners team. That
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: is Dre Greenlaw. And the word from Kyle Shanahan is
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: that he is extra fired up and motivated for this game.
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: What ill will could he hold towards the Broncos when
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: he didn't play last year?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: He hardly played at all. He also got busted.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Like he didn't play in camp. He didn't play for
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: most of the regular season. And the Broncos are like, oh, okay, well,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: we tried.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Go find another team. And then he went back to
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the Niners. What ill will could you hold against them?
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Makes no sense.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't at all.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Saw this yesterday.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, Matt Holiday is selling his home. Now,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know where this home is.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: In Oklahoma.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: So our Matt Holiday.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Yes, our Matt Holiday.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: So he first asked for $ 12 million to sell his home.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: He has dropped that price to a cool $ 8. 95 million.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: But it's a.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Let's see here. It's a house that looks like a mansion,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: first of all. It is a 136-acre property in Stillwater.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: He built the house in 2022. It has an entire
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: baseball field.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: On the property.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: And that is the field that he used to train
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Ethan and, uh, Jackson holiday and all these different guys.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: You're kidding.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: There's a full fire pit behind home plate. It looks
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: like the coolest house on planet earth, a gigantic pool
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: that you swim like under a bridge.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: Like it, it's something out.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Of a, wait, wait, wait, what?
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: Let me send it. Let me send it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: You swim under a bridge.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: It's what it looks like to me. Nelly, I'm going
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: to DM this to you. Just rifle through the photos
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: and send them up behind us.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: So it's a full-on baseball resort outside of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: Like ranch house, but it's in the shape of a U.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: With the pool in the middle, off to the side
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: on this.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: You know, what did I say, 136-acre property? Off to
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: the side is this giant basketball.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: You tell me that doesn't look like a blast to
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: live in. So there's the pool, and hang on, go back, Nellie.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: So the pool looks like, do you swim underneath this
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: to get to the other side of this pool, or
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: what's going on there? Is that walled off, and there's
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: another pool on the other side?
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: It looks like that's an infinity pool, and that's just
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: a goof-around pool. Correct.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: But yeah, you see he's got a putting green over
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: here off to the side. Nellie, go to the next photo.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: There's the baseball field he's got in the backyard, the
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: giant fire pit down there overlooking the house and trees
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: and acreage.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Keep going.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Next photo. That's the interior of the house. That looks
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: like something I would love to live in.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: She's Louise.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he's got a full tennis court and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: an indoor batting cage that's inside a giant shed. That
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: looks like a place that if I got money, I
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: would buy. And no wonder his kids are first-round draft picks.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: They have a full training facility in their backyard, literally.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Dude, that looks really crazy.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I hope these holidays turn out to be something, especially
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: the one that the Rockies just got.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: And I kind of forget which names are which.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, we could be seeing Tyreek Hill
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: back in the National Football League before you know it. Yesterday,
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: he sent out a tweet or an X or whatever
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: you want to call that. What do you think he said?
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: He said, quote, I'm ready for some cold weather. Now,
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: does that mean he wants to play for a cold
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: weather team? If you look at the Green Bay Packers,
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: they just had.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: No, no, no. No, she wants to go back to KC.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: You think so?
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Well, Jaden Reed of the Packers, their starting slot, is
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: now out for the rest of the season with a
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: broken neck.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So Tyreek's like putting.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: Out the vibes in the fields like, hey, let's stand
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: by the bar and put out the vibes.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to come back.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: I think he wants to go back and play with Mahomes.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know what player he's going to be.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: That's a devastating knee injury. He's already on the north
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: side of 30. His entire game is built around speed.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: If he doesn't have speed, can he still be productive?
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Probably, just to what extent?
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: Listen, he was the ultimate speed in his prime, right? Yeah,
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: he was the speed guy. Let's say he's 93% of
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: his former speed.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Would you take that?
• 40:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: If he's 70 or 80, maybe not.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Well, then he can't play in the league. Brett, you
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: can be 80.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Romy Bean had Pat Bryant on CBS4 and asked him
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: the question that everybody was wondering, was it pass interference?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Pat, I'm going to ask you a question. Was it
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: pass interference?
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: It was a little pass interference. I did sell it
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: just enough, you know what I'm saying, to get the flag,
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: but he definitely gave me a little nudge that I
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: felt and I felt like I couldn't get the ball,
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: so it was either the ball or the call, and
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: we ended up getting the call.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: I saw a little shove in the back there.
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: He definitely gave me a shove.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: You know, we talk about, like, in basketball and in soccer,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: it's like the art of the flop.
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: You guys got that in football yet, do you think?
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, of course.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Especially, boom, you see it here.
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: Once they give you that push, it's either a legal
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: contact or pass interference. I know that's the biggest thing.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: Going across social media right now, I can't even open
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: my social media without seeing the video. But, I mean,
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: it's something that a lot of people do in this league, so...
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: Kind of use it to my advantage.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of course.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Here's Adam Schefter on ESPN yesterday.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: The NFL has informed him that Josh Wallace should not
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: have been called for the defensive pass interference that helped
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: decide Sunday night's game in Denver. I'm sure that made
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: Sean McVay feel much better to hear that from the
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: NFL today. Here was the play, and the NFL told
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: McVay in his words that it should not have been
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: called DPI.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: People have rightfully pointed out, oh, by the way, if
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: it wasn't DPI, it should have been a legal contact
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: before that.
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Either way, it results in a first down. And it's
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: just enough.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: Enough talking about this.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: I completely agree. Illegal contact. It could have been OPI.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: He's yanking on.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: Dude's shoulder pad as he's flailing his other arm in
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: the air.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: What's the flailings are? What's the flailings these are? What
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: do you say? What's the flailings mean? I'm getting Joker
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: mixed up with my Dutch buddy. What's the flailings mean?
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And as Ralph would say, whose is the flip-flops these are?
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: So one more thing here on the way out.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, Jalen Daniels, the undrafted free agent
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: rookie quarterback out of Kansas who won the backup job
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: in Tampa behind Baker Mayfield, is going to make his
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: first start this weekend. He had a line that I
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: wish Vic was here because it's something that Vic got
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: confused too.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: He said this.
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: One thing I learned in college was, you know, you
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: can't be a thermometer. You have to be the thermostat.
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: You have to be someone who comes in and is
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: able to set the temperature of the room, not test
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: the room and try to be able to blend in
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: with it. So I try to, if a team is low,
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: I have to be able to pick it up to
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: be able to make sure that they're even. And if
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: we're high, then I have to be able to be
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: low to be able to make sure that we're even.
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: I try to be even-keeled as possible. And I think
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: that being able to go out there and have that
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: even-keeled feel, the team around you feels that.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: I actually love that. I'm excited to watch this guy play.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: They're very excited about him. But here is what Vic
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: got confused.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, Vic Lombardi here. Mark Mosier won't stop blowing his nose,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: and I know exactly why. He's sick. He's sick because
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the AC was way too cold. They keep it way
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: too cold in his house.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: They can't set the thermometer. They can't do anything right.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: Is it a thermostat or a thermometer, by the way?
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: It's a thermostat.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: Jalen Daniels did not have that problem.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: No, he did not have the problem. By the way,
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: who will the backup be? Would it be Brett Rippon
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: or Easton Stick?
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't know. I think Easton Stick
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: was there already.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: Both those guys were on the practice squad. Rippon has
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: the experience, right?
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know either.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: But Jalen Daniels getting the start.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Mumps.
• 44:27
  Speaker 9: Mumps.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: Mumps-ards and sons. Jeff Legwald joins us next.
