• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Where in the world is Crackbin and Lindahl? I mean,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: people got it almost immediately. A lot of places thrown out.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: They will be at Old Town Tavern on Friday. That's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: where it's going to be. Old Town Tavern.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Um, Gary's old Gary's old town tavern.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Old town tavern.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you know what Gary's old town tavern is?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Do you have any idea?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: No, it's the rival bar in cheers.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: That's right. Cheers was one bar in Gary's old town
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: tavern was their rival bar. Um, nice job, Nelly. Hey,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I got something for you as we continue on here
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: real quick and great to have Seth Wickersham on Brett.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Would you indulge me for a second with two, uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: 20 seconds of baseball? I, I, you got two minutes.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I always give two minutes. Go ahead.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Did you see my tweet last night?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I had to look it up. It's now four years
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: in a row that the Colorado Rockies have lost 100 games.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: The last team, this is only the fifth time in
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the history of Major League Baseball that a team has
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: lost 100 games four years in a row. Fifth time.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: The last team to do it? The expansion Mets from
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: 1962 to 1965. It's been 61 years since a team
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: has lost 100 games four years in a row.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So it's an achievement. Let's give it up.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: It's an achievement. They're making history, but not in a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: good way, man. Look, there are guys in this team
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: that I like. I saw them kicking the ball around
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the outfield again last night. And I'm like, gosh, dang it, man.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I like these guys, but stop booting the ball around
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the outfield. And Freeland's emotional, and I get that. It's just, man,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: it's just tough, Brett. It's tough.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the problem.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And I want to believe. I'm like Fox Mulder in X-Files.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I want to believe.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The current people in charge are not responsible for what
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the former did to this roster. They aren't responsible for
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: having Zero pitchers in a pitching staff that you can
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: rely upon. But one of those guys was Kyle Freeland
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: last night, who more likely than not, almost assuredly, pitched
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: his last game at Coors Field. He knew it walking
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: off the field, gave a salute to the crowd. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: this was him after the game. This is from Lionel
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Bienvenu of Denver 7.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I had a lot of emotions hit me there right
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: when I parked my car, realizing this might be the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: last time I'm walking into the stadium. For a start,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: making sure I say hi to everyone that I say
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: hi to when I'm going down the halls. Making sure
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: walking down the track I see, taking all of Coors
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Field for what it is. Trying to remember all the
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: great times that I've had here with all my teammates.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Proud to say that I'm a Colorado Rocky. Wow. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: can't thank Dick Mumford and the entire Mumford family enough,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: but to the fans, thank you so much for supporting me,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: my wife, my family. Making a hometown kid really happy.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Tough to listen to. And it's because, look, hometown kid
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: plays for his hometown team, obviously loves this team. A
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: long career here with not a lot of success team-wise
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and professionally. in recent years individually, it's got to be difficult.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And he knows.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, you could tell by the emotion there. He
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: knows that he's not coming back here. And, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: it's 10 years. Some would call it a 10-year sentencing.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: But whatever it was, he gave it all he could.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: And I know there are a lot of people out
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: there that say, oh, well, he just didn't have it. Well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: he had it in 2018 when he set a record
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: back then for season ERA. He had a 285 ERA
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: that season. the year that he debuted as a Rockies pitcher, 2017,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: he put together one of the greatest pitching performances I've
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: ever witnessed at Coors Field against the White Sox, a
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: game against the White Sox, and when he took a
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: no-hitter into the ninth inning, finished with a one-hitter, and he.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Was untouchable that night.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Untouchable. I'm going to say this about Kyle Freeland.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Clearly didn't finish as the same pitcher as he started here,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: but I think he also is A perfect example of
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: what Coors Field will do to you, both mentally and physically.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: You pitch here long enough, it will chew you up
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: and spit you out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could say that. Now, I'm treading lightly here
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: because I like Kyle. Kyle has been largely the same
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: pitcher with the exception of 2018. every other year.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: His first two seasons, he was downright dominant, but I'm
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: telling you though, it wears you down. It's the very
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: reason why there are so few Kyle Freelands around.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: I don't have the stats in front of me. I don't,
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: but I want you to go back and see how
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: many pitchers pitched for a decade with the Colorado Rockies
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: and see how they trended over that decade.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And compare that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know that, I'm trying to think.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's really any.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I just want you to go back and look at
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: that and compare those trends to those pitchers at other
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: places across the country who pitched at other venues over
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: 10 years.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Now, there's not a pitcher alive who would sustain 10
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: years of greatness.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: At Coors Field. It's not possible. Aaron Kershaw. The answer
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is it looks like Aaron Cook, Kyle Freeland, and Marquez.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor Rosa played nine seasons. Jeff Francis played eight. That's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: across two stints for both of those guys. But yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you know what Kyle Freeland kind of reminds me of?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: When Sean Payton took over the Broncos, he was taking
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: over for like the worst era in, I don't know
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: if it's Broncos history, but certainly recent history, right? outside
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of maybe the first decade or so when the Broncos
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: first cracked into the NFL, that was the worst stretch
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of seasons for the Broncos ever. Sean Payton comes in,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and there is a player that's a very good player
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that I think has been a great representative of the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Broncos that he cuts. Who is it?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Justin Simmons.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I think Freeland is the Rockies' Justin Simmons, where as
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: much as you love the guy, and he might have
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: been productive for you, I think.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Letting that piece of it go, and I think he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: sees it coming too, will usher in maybe a new
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: era of things. I also think a lot of it
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is bad luck.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: He partook in an era of bad baseball.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Of course, yeah. I mean, he started one playoff game
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: his entire career here. That was it.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Well, he's also only 33 years old. I would like
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to see him go someplace and be able to revive
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: his career in terms of numbers and maybe love of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the game. I'm not saying he doesn't love the game,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: but losing like this, guys, wears on you, too.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, it's a grind.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, four 100-loss seasons in a row, and last
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: year was the tippy-top at 119. Let him go someplace else,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: be a fourth or fifth starter on some other club,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and maybe just revive himself, revive his baseball life.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So you just unveiled that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: So there are only three pitchers in the history of
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: the Rockies organization who have survived Coors Field for 10 seasons.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: At least 10. Correct?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Only three.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Think about that for a second. Just chew on that
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: for a second. Three guys have survived for 10 seasons.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many guys you could find that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: play for the Cleveland Browns for 10 years. I'm talking
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: about other baseball teams. My point is, when you're a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: franchise that loses a lot, you aren't keeping guys for
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: 10 years typically. You know what I mean? It's tough
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to do. Because they're either going to get poached or
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: not good enough to be there. And there are a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: few exceptions, but... Okay, we'll quibble on this.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: I've just always contended that pitching is just that much
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: harder here.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Will you acknowledge... that pitching here is much harder than
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: pitching anywhere else. Oh, I don't think there's any doubt.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: So will you allow some grace for those who pitch
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: here long-term?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Is there some grace built in because of that?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And that's all I'm saying.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Well, that's why you can't, you're
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: never going to have, let me be careful on this,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a Cam Schlittler... That's on this roster. You aren't going
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to have a guy who is, who's, you know, bouncing
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: around a two ERA over the course of two and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a half, three years.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Cam who?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Not saying it again. Did it once. It's all we need.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Cam what?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He's the best pitcher in the league.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is. Can you imagine doing play? Dude, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: could never do play by play for them. You know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that Cam Schittler on it. I couldn't do it, dude.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt in my mind.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: What if Moj?
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: 20 times a season I'd slip up. I know I would.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What if the best player on the avalanche was Cam Schittler?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I would probably be fired in the first week of
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Can you give me a goal call? I have two
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: minutes for being back.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: .
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Give me a goal call that Cam scores. Let's hear it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Stretch pass finds Cam. Devil Sonny shoots and scores. Cam scores.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Cam S. He's the man. Big old Cam.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Heavy C.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Right on.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. It would be tough. You know what?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We can save this for a second, but I have
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: something that surrounds other audio that I want to get to.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Did you guys happen to see what went on at
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the Dion presser yesterday? And this gets into two different
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: categories of things that have just driven me nuts. But
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it starts with Deion saying, I got a player that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: needs to apologize. Now, if you guys, just as a refresher,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: CU goes to Northwestern. last week. Northwestern is currently playing
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in a satellite field college. It's only like 15,000 people
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that are allowed in that stadium.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's their lacrosse stadium, I think is what
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Because Northwestern is about to open their new stadium mid-season,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but it's not quite ready yet. So you walk in,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and this is Ben Finneseth. A video of him emerging
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: from the locker room about to take the field. He
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: says this.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Bring your own juice!
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Gotta have it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: This place sucks.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: That's a library.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Football.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Football.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So that video went viral. And here's why. It's not
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: so much it was disrespectful. It's because you got your
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: butt kicked, right? It's that you were talking that trash
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and then you lost by 34 points. That was the problem.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Why is this the least bit? controversial. Well, Vic, this
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is how the pressure started yesterday.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Some foolishness came out of it, and we want to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: correct our wrongs and make it a right right now.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Come on, big fella.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite guys. He got something to say.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I just want to apologize to, first of all,
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: to you guys, to everyone that's tied in with the university,
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: to everyone at Northwestern, to everyone that supports us, to
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: my teammates, to my coaches. It was childish. It was
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: a stupid thing that I said. It won't happen again,
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: and the way I handled it was horrible, and I
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: promise you guys that it will not happen again, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: it will be much more mature moving forward, so I apologize.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Why is this a problem? No, I'm not accepting the apology, Ben.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Why is this a problem?
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to accept the apology. In fact, what
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: you did was not wrong. We live in this ridiculous
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: society now where you have to apologize for that?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: For walking into a stadium and calling it a library?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Big deal. Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Big freaking deal. You're geeked up. You're ready to play
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a football game. You'll say anything. You'll do anything.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Some of the things these guys say pregame, dude, I'll
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: tell you a story. John Lynch, the classiest human being
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: in the world. He is the epitome of class. Before games,
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: he would turn into a football zombie, the likes of
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: which I've never seen before. He would say things that
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: would never come out of his mouth in public.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Because he's football mode.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Because he's ready to go.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: That poor kid apologized for saying that?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, why?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Here's the apology, though. The apology is because you got
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: your butt kicked.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: If they won that game, nobody cares. Nobody cares, okay?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I went to that soccer field.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: We all went to that soccer field in Englewood before
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Chargers got their new stadium. That place sucked. That
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: place was a library, okay?
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah. Well, listen, they've also dismissed some players from
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the team, Coach Prime has. I don't know if you
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: saw that or not.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: No, I think that was more about the guys that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: were laughing after the game.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we don't know who it is yet. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: can't find out who it is, but apparently an updated
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: roster is going to be released later this week, but
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I'm very curious to find out which guys are now gone.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Apologize for that?
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Harvman says, well, you guys just ripped McDonald for a
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: half hour confused. Well, McDonald was an idiot. McDonald bragged
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: about how he hovered over Sean Payton, made him cower
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: in an elevator.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Big bad Michael McDonald. It's a little different. This is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a football game with the kids saying it sounds like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a library. Yeah, I don't get.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: It.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: There's another thing, by the way. You know what? We'll
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: get to this in just a second. Another piece of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: audio that drove me nuts that I'm still... I'm asking
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the same question of why is this a thing that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: people care about? We'll get there in a couple minutes
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to grab. All right, just quickly here. We'll get to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: NFL true-false in a moment. There's something else that we
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: have not talked about since the weekend ended.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: So.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Texas comes back and they beat Ohio State and they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: riding a high. And after the game, Arch Manning is
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: asked at a press conference, have you seen and have
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you been on the internet since the game got done?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, I've seen some of the memes.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And he brings up the meme that somebody made. It
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was an AI video. Because if you remember, Sark at
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the end of the game was, Holly Roe was attempting
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to interview Steve Sarkeesian. And he just said, hook him
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and ran away.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: We all saw that. There was an AI video that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: somebody made of Sark smacking Holly Rowe and running away.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Arch said he saw that one and thought it was funny.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: He laughed.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And then he was forced to apologize and a whole
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: bunch of subsequent things happened. So then Arch Manning has
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a press conference this week in which I don't know
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if he was told to do this or this is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just something that he was upset about getting all the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: criticism so he did it on his own. Here's his
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: answers this week at his press conference.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: No, not much.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sure I will this week. Yeah, definitely excited
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: to play. Hostile environment, SEC road game. That's what it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: all about.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Just being kind of us against the world mentality. Just
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: trying to find that in practice this week, be consistent
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: in practice. Excited for this challenge. No, just never visiting.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Josh does a good job using his legs when he
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: needs to. I think sometimes I.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: 19 answers for a grand total of 56 seconds. Here's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: my question.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And maybe.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm going to get yelled at for this, too.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Why does anybody care about him thinking the AI video
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: was funny? Why is this a big deal? And I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: respect Holly Roe. I think Holly Roe is really good
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: at her job.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I think she's really good as well. Yeah, I think
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: she's terrific.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: This is the equivalent to me of somebody getting mad
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: at Celebrity Deathmatch. Remember that show back in the day?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: They'd make the celebrities fight, the little clay celebrities, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you'd rip Britney Spears' head off, and people would laugh
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: at it. Why is this any different? Why are people
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: upset with Arch Manning over laughing at a fake video?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Well, if it was Sark whacking Kirk Herbstreet, would it
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: be more acceptable? I don't know. I just think this
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: is so stupid.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But I don't condone any videos of anybody striking anybody
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: like that, to be honest with you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: What if it was me?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: That's me, personally. Yeah, of course. I would laugh my
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: ass off if it was you. If it was you, absolutely,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: if it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Was you. Now, Vic, if Sarkeesian actually punched you in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the face in real life.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: You do laugh.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Not initially. Later I would, but not in the moment.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: In the moment, I'd be like, that's mean and messed up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'd laugh later. I just don't get it. I'm like,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: what are we doing here?
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Well, you heard the kid, his reaction in yesterday's press conference,
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: and I don't blame him one bit.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Speak softly, speak quickly, get it out before somebody ties
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you up again. Anyway, I just thought it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Was so silly.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You know, listen, Nicole Jokic got got a few years back.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: He got got in a locker room in Chicago, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: it changed his approach to the way he handles the media.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Quick and to the point. It's another thing, too, where
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it's like, the guy's speaking a second language. Maybe he
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know what he's saying. I know. But these
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: guys talk so much publicly, I don't blame them half
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the time for saying nothing.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Which is why those press conferences, I hate them.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I hate press conferences. I hate post-game press conferences. I
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: hate them.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: There.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I said it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I hate them.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I just think it's so dumb what we've been doing. Anyway, Nelly,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: cue up the cheesy game show music, please. Do this
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday. It's a little NFL true-false. For a while there,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I thought we were going to play the feud. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: was getting excited. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We're
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: playing this dumb game again? We haven't played the feud
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: like in eight months. We always start with the Broncos
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: and we expand from there. So first of all, true
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: or false, the Broncos offense has turned a corner.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: True. And I'll tell you why. Because Jalen Waddle was
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: an absolute weapon on Sunday. That's why. I'll say true. Vic?
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: True.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: To go off that, Moshe, true or false, Cortland Sutton
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: will have less than 70 catches this year. What did
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: he have last year? He's had more than 70 in
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the last two seasons. He had, I believe, 74 last
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: year and 81 the year before that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: True.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I'll say true.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: That's just a matter of, hey, man, there's football's going
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to go to another guy.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: There's another big weapon out there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I've wondered that like, remember we talked about that a lot.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of mouths to feed on this offense.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of them. And we asked the question who
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: was going to lead the team and catch us. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear there. It's going to be Jalen model.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They made a concerted effort. To get to Jalen Waddell
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in game two. Haven't seen that for Cortland Sutton. True
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: or false? The Broncos defense is now worry-free.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Medium.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Let me answer that after Sunday night, please. Exactly.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, let's see what happens. I mean, it's, again,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: week to week, baby. There's no worry-free.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: You're always worried.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: If you're not worried, what are you?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: You talk about weapons. Look at the weapons they're going
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: to face potentially on Sunday night if Nakua is back in.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: And look at the weapons they'll face the following week
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: with the 49ers. Good Lord. That'll be a true test.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: True or false, Jonah Coleman will have the most carries
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: by year's end.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: That's a great question.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Golly.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I'll say true.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I'll say false.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: So you think it's JK?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to balance that out.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, true or false? I just think the health factor
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: is a big one. Go ahead.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The Raiders 2-0 record is real.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: False.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: What would get you to believe the Raiders are actually
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: kind of good?
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: 7-1.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We were never supposed to be in this position. True
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: or false? The Chargers 0-2 is real.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: True.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, dude, Justin Herbert has lost his mind. He
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: forgot how to quarterback.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I say true only because their next six games are
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: ridiculously difficult. So 0-2, hell, they may be 0-8 by midseason.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: They very well could be because I'm telling you, Brett,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I've watched Justin Herbert play. He sucks right now. He does.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: He's been terrible. He has zero touchdown passes, three picks
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: in two games, and his completion percentage isn't even 50%.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: He's a mess.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: You might need more context to this question, so tell
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: me if you do. But true or false, the NFL
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: has an injury problem. It feels like there's a lot
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: more people getting hurt. Now, I might be wrong on this.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: To me, it feels like there's a lot more people
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: getting hurt in the NFL than there was a while ago.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It also feels that way in the NBA, to be honest.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I say false.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I think injuries are just more pronounced now because of
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: the era we live in, social media, we talk about
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: it more, but injuries have always, I mean, it's like, what,
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: do you think injuries were invented five years ago?
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Well, no, but I think what Vic's getting at here
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: is that, you know, the The Buccaneers and the Bengals,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you know, you weren't as knowledgeable about what went on
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: in that game in the past. They lost their backup
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: linebacker and his leg twisted off. I mean, you didn't
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: really pay attention to that back in the day.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Now, this has been a discussion in the NBA. They
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: have wondered this because, again, Moshe, we went through it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Go and look at Carl Malone's 20 years in the league.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: 82 games, 82 games, 82 games. He never missed, right?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of people miss games now in the NBA,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and they wondered, is it a pay-some-play thing?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Is it this?
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Is it that? There's been a lot of questions. Texture
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: says 210 players currently on injured reserve right now in
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They're two weeks.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: That's pretty crazy.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: True or false? The Falcons will look like a competent
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: football team with Michael Penix.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: False.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I just don't think they're that good.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Listen, all they need is a little bit better quarterback play.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: They got Bijon, man. I'm going to say true. I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: going to say true. I mean, it's Cooper Rush and Jack...
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Jack Strand?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Special Agent Jack Bauer is his name, actually.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I always want to say me, but go ahead.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: True or false? The Bucs will regret giving Baker Mayfield
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that contract. Ooh, it's not going well so far.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Ooh, baby, he's running that football.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: No, but in that division, though... They can play their
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: way back into that division. I'll say false. See, I mean,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: he's still a hell of a gamer.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: I think the money was earned for what he did already.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: So regret's a tough word. I'll say false as well.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: True or false, your perspective has changed on Caleb Williams
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: after getting carded off. False.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: He's always been a drama guy. I mean, he cried
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: in college.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good quarterback.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: So what?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So he's emotional.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: He's a big deal.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: He's not.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Hold on. Emotional is one thing. Dude, he's getting killed
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: all over the football world. He's getting killed.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It doesn't bother me.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, Rich Eisen had to hold back yesterday. Hysterical.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: True or false, the Giants will be picking in the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: top three.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Gosh.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Now that the word came down that Jackson Dart may
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: miss the entire season.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: Say what you want. That quarterback, Jameis, I don't think
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: was prepared to play much. I think his offseason was
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: spent covering the World Cup and he didn't do much
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: to prepare for the season.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Jameis looked like he didn't know how to play football.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: Jameis is already on that life after football in that mode.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I'll say true.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I'm just praying for the Lord to deliver me from
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: pick sixes.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Mosh?
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I want to root for him so bad, Brett, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: he looks so incompetent against the Rams. Yeah, it's just
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: like he didn't even study the game plan all week.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I'll say true.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: True or false, the Seahawks will win the NFC West again.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Well, it all depends on the health of Darnold because
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Locke is a backup for a reason. Yeah, you know what?
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I'm going to keep an eye on those 49ers, dude,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: and the Rams, too. Those are three, in my opinion,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: three really good football teams. That's the division of death.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: True or false, the Vikings' defense will carry them to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: True. God.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That's a great question.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, they've beaten two teams they're not supposed to
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: beat already, but I think early in the season things
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: happen like that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: False.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: False.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: But, Vic, the best part is for the Minnesota Vikings,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: they've already beaten two teams in the division.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: But they always seem to come back down to earth.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: What's your call there, Moj? True, you said?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, true. Yeah, true, true, true.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: True or false, Deshaun Watson will be booed at home
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: True.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And they won a game.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: But, yes, there are going to be those who still
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: boo him. His first incompletion, he's going to get booed,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: trust me.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: It's so funny to me. Mosher's so right. I think
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the first ball that hits the turf is going to
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: lead to people booing.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And then finally, true or false, Aaron Glenn will be
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: fired by year's end. False.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what? Are you putting the whole blame
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: on him for the loss last weekend? Is that what
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: you're doing? The Packers loss?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Not the whole blame, but give me your answer first.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I'll say false.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: False.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: False, false, false, false. Here's the problem. Aaron Glenn, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that's NFL true-false, but I do want to spend a
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: couple more minutes on this because I want to get
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: your guys' perspective because things have changed. Aaron Glenn has
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: been criticized throughout his first year in change as a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: head coach in New York because of clock management stuff
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and late game decisions, which is, if that's happening as
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a head coach and you're losing football games, it's a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: big problem. What Aaron Glenn elected to do, and tell
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: me what you guys think is the proper strategy here.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn decided when that game went into overtime, they
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: win the coin toss, he takes the ball first. Which,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in years past, you do that because a touchdown wins
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: you the football game. Of course you would take it first.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: But now both teams are guaranteed a possession. He said
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: he wanted the ball first because they were going to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: burn 10 minutes off the clock so that the Packers
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: didn't get the football. That's a ridiculous answer. Hold on.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't somebody do that against the Broncos? What's that?
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Didn't a team win the overtime toss and take the
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: ball first against the Broncos?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Did that happen? Or am I imagining things? Is my
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: old brain losing it? I thought that happened last year.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Somebody come out and confirm that or confirm that I'm
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: really losing it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I thought a opposing coach. I'm trying to remember.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Won the toss and took the ball. There were two
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: overtime games last year. I mean, was it Denver against
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the Bills? Help me help you. I just don't know
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: who won the toss. Help me remember. Well, here's the thing, though.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is to go on
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a 10-minute drive? A 10-minute drive?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: You always defer so you know what you need to do.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: You always defer so you know exactly what your options are.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: And you defer because what if you want to go
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: for two and just end it after you score the touchdown?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly. The only right answer now in the NFL is
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to play defense first to start overtime. It's the only
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: right answer. But here's the problem when you're a head
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: coach and you're losing football games and you're doing it
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: in close games. It's not just losing. This happened with
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Hackett too. It wasn't the fact that Hackett lost that
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: first game against the Seahawks, right? It's that they had
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: 40 seconds on the clock, and he tried to kick
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a 64-yard field goal to win the football game.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: And then he defended that decision after the game got done.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: When Aaron Glenn says, I took the ball first because
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we were going to go on a 10-minute drive, give
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: me the 10-minute drives in the NFL this year. How
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: many have there been? Zero.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Zero.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody holds the ball for 10 minutes on one drive.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: In a quarter.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Okay? Not happening. And especially not with an offense. No offense.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: It has Geno Smith at quarterback. That's the problem. But
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: in general practice now, because both teams get the ball,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you always take the ball second.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Always. Always.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Just going back to Jameis Winston as the backup. Just
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: imagine what's going through his head right now.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: He lives in New York City. He's backing up Jackson Dart,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: who's clearly the guy.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Do you think he's really focused?
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: He's already planning his acting career, his entertainment career. And
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden he's thrust into a game and like, wait, wait,
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: I'm playing.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Did you hear him? By the way, did you hear
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: him in the tunnel? Before the team ran out on
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the Monday night football thing. Well, he was doing what
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Brett and I do. Yeah, I thought it was great.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I really like him, Brett. I like that guy a lot.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: You know who Jameis Winston is, Brett?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I want him to succeed. I'm praying he succeeds.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You know who Jameis is, Brett? He's Mosier.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: He's the guy that's like, shut up.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: He's a golden retriever. He's happy to be anywhere he's at.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: His tail's always wagging. But then he got in the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: game and he goes, uh-oh, I forgot I have to
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: do football things too. He's just, he's there for the party, man.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And then it was like, I'm, wait a minute, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: have to play? 11 completions on 27 attempts later, you
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: get your butt kicked, yeah. You can't exactly plan your
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Thursday night around matchups like Falcons and Packers, but that
• 31:30

  Speaker 2: like turtles.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: we feel like you should be aware of. And allow
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: me to start here. There is a running back for
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the Panthers by the name of Jonathan Brooks. You guys
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: heard of him?
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: He was a second-round pick in 2024 coming out of Texas.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: He was a good running back in college. Drafted 46th overall.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: But his problem is, his last year at Texas, he
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: tore his right ACL. In the middle of the season.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: So he comes back the following year, tries to play
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: in week 14 for the Panthers in his first sort
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: of play time in the NFL. Play time? Whatever. Playing time.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: He re-tears that ACL after nine carries. He then misses
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the 2025 season. He comes back this year. Finally, after
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: two years, he's back to playing football. He has now
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: been placed on IR again with a core injury that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: he's expected to miss at least a month and a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: half to two months. So since 2024, that man has
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: had 18 career carries because of injury.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: And it reminds me a lot of like... He's going
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to get Jake butted.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: You know, the thing too, is that again, Brett, I
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: don't question guys toughness or anything of that nature. It's just,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: why do their bodies continue to break down? So for
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks and that ACL and now this core and
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: all this kind of thing, is it just bad luck?
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Or is there something with the body where it just is,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: it breaks down when, when other guys won't, I don't
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: know the answer to that. I'm not a physiologist. I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: not a geneticist. It's just, it's unfortunate for these guys.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: It's a bummer.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, Are you ready for more professional
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: post-college football in the state of Colorado?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Notice how I said post-college, because that's professional now.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: The UFL is planning expansion. I don't know if you
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: wanted expansion, but they're expanding. They're moving to new markets.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: They're actually replacing Birmingham and Houston.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Let me be real. With teams in Colorado and Rhode Island.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Starting in 2027, the team in Colorado will be based
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: in Colorado Springs.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: So the UFL, it's that spring league. They're going to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: play in Colorado Springs.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: They're playing soccer-only stadiums. I don't know where.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: But the thing is, they know they're not going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: get sold out $ 70, 000, 70,000-person crowd. So they're playing smaller venues.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: I don't know where in Colorado Springs. I don't know
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: what soccer.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Stadium is there. I don't know what it is. But
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that's what they're planning on doing. smaller stadium. Hell, they
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: could play District 20 Stadium.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: I just did a high school football game there a
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: couple weeks ago, and that'd be perfect.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest here, okay? What are you planning? What,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: are you getting $ 10, 000 for a game?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Well, they must be doing something right if they're looking
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: to expand, right?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking you. I'm asking you right now.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: What are you trying? Are you into.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: This or no?
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: No.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I don't care at all.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Okay, they've actually said they're expanding to something called Wiedner
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Field in 2027 in Colorado Springs.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Spell it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Wiedner. W-E-I-D-N-E-R. Wiedner Field.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: That's Wiedner. It's got to be Wiedner.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I pronounced that Wiedner.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: W-E-I. Bagged on.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: So Mosier has talked about how he watches this European...
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: American Football League thing that they do over there occasionally?
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: They got that soccer team down there that is the
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: minor league of the Rapids, isn't it?
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: That's probably where it is.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: So the UFL, I don't know if you guys could
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: even guess this. I was just curious. What their viewership
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: is on average for their games?
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: It's 675,000.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people watch. It's got to be one of the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: higher-rated things of the day.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not seeking out this European Football League, whatever it's called.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: It's just in the morning on weekends, the TV's on
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: early in the morning, and the game's on TV, and
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: I put it on. I don't know any of the players.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know any of the teams. I know nothing
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: about it, but it's on in the background. Oh, by
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: the way, this still won't go away. Western Michigan, are
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: they an undefeated football team or not?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: They're not, according to their record. No.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, everybody's gone back and said, you know what,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: the replay thing was a screw-up, everything was a screw-up, screw-up. Well,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Spencer Danielson, the head coach at Boise State, says, quote,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I saw a little bit of what happened in the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Michigan-Western Michigan game early on when I went back and
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: studied this.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: They're an undefeated football team, period. End of story. Well,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: they can't change the record. And they have won the
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: last two games. They beat Weiss last weekend.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: They can't change the record.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: Are you suggesting they should change the record?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I'm saying they're 3-0.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Well, they're not.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: In my head, they are. Well, they're not. Well, you
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: want to live in my head? Go ahead. Try to
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: get in my head. Trust me, I don't want to
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: jump in that thing. Jump on in, homie. The water's fine.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this. So if you guys remember, this
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: year at Titans training camp, Will Levis was the backup
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback to Cam Ward. He was in a battle with
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky for that backup spot in Tennessee. He lost
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that to Trubisky, and I had no idea. He was
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: not part of any team since being cut. He just
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: got signed to the Jets on their practice squad, but
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Will Levis was not on a roster for about the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: last month and a half to two months.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: If you remember earlier in the year, this was on
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: August 1st, Will Levis said, there's not 32 quarterbacks in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: this league that's better than me. I know that for sure.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: But being off a roster entirely, I think the NFL
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: probably thought differently. But I was shocked that he wasn't
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: on any roster anyway. If Jack Strand is getting snaps...
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: In Atlanta, Will Levis couldn't find a roster until today
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: or yesterday?
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, to go along with that, you
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: were just talking about the injury to Jonathan Brooks. Do
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: you know who else is out of the league and
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: they're kicking the tires on right now? Talking about the
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers? Austin Eckler doesn't have a team. He doesn't?
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Hasn't had a team.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: He's been out of the league. He's only 31 years
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: of age and a former starter for the Chargers in
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, more Nuggets rumors. Ryan Nebhard, you
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: may remember the name. He's the brother of Andrew Nebhard.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: He played for the Dallas Mavericks last year. They had
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: a game. They were missing some guards, obviously, with Kyrie out.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: And Nebhard at the time was a two-way player for
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: the Mavericks. He comes into Denver, and he throws 28
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: and 10 at the Nuggets. He had 28 points, 10 assists.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: He was a two-way player at the time. They eventually
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: signed him to a full-term agreement, got traded. Got traded
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: again yesterday.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: To Charlotte.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Charlotte is rumored to buy him out of his contract,
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: and the Nuggets, according to Mark Stein, are in the
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: mix to bring Ryan Emhardt here for a two-way deal.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Point guard, they need one.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Back up.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Nuggets are really like, they're living in that thrift shop,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: aren't they? What you guys bringing in over there? What's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: in that trash bag? Let me pick through it for
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: a second. Dude, I remember that game.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Now, one game is not a career make, obviously, and
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: there's a reason he's bounced around already.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: But that day, that night at Ball Arena, this dude
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: was amazing. Oh, by the way, would you guys rather
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: have what happened to the Broncos last year Where you
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: are on the doorstep of a Super Bowl, your quarterback
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: goes down, and you feel like you get the rug
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: pulled from under you. Or be a Giants fan who
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: had excitement after a week. And then Jackson Dart is
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: likely out for the year, and now you know I
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: don't need to care anymore.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I would say I would hate to be in the
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Giants fans' position, realizing that you got no shot whatsoever.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: In a division that may be entirely winnable, who knows,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: but you got no shot.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Listen, as bad as it was, luck-wise, it was bad
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: fortune for the Broncos. We got to experience a hell
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: of a season. That was fun. That was a fun ride.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you'd take the ride. Imagine the roller
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: coaster that being a Giants fan would have been when
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: that play happens. So he gets basically high load. It
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: looks bad. Then did you guys see when they cut
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: to the trainer talking to John Harbaugh on the sideline,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the trainer, you can read his lips, he goes, looks
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: like four to six weeks is what he said immediately
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: after Jackson Dart got hit. So you're like, okay, maybe
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: we can survive for a month and then... He'll be okay.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane told ESPN during the broadcast that dart was
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: going to be okay. In the middle of that game,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: dart reportedly wanted to return in play in the game
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: after leaving to the locker room. And now you're like, uh,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: he's might be out for the year. That's a wild
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: roller coaster of emotions in like a day.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: It's just the opposite of what we saw with Chicago bears.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: I thought Caleb Williams was going to die. And I
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: didn't want that, but I thought that they were going
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: to have to put him down like a racehorse. Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: And it turns out, you know, he may go this week.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: He may be okay.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: That's so funny. Oh, by the way, there's major golf
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: this week. Do you guys realize that? Do you know
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: what's going down? Are you really into the President's Cup? Yeah,
