- 0:43Speaker 4: Hey, Vic, when you found out you were going to
- 0:46Speaker 4: Augusta last year and you're really excited about it, When
- 0:49Speaker 4: was that? How many days did you know, like in
- 0:52Speaker 4: advance a month? A month? So when you got to like,
- 0:56Speaker 4: let's say, what did you leave? Do you remember it
- 0:59Speaker 4: was like early more Arch?
- 1:01Speaker 2: Was it?
- 1:01Speaker 4: Was it like a Thursday Wednesday? Was it something like that?
- 1:04Speaker 4: Let's just say it was Thursday.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:07Speaker 4: The Avs are at the Monday portion of that. They're
- 1:12Speaker 4: ready to leave. They're ready for this break.
- 1:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:15Speaker 5: When they were there last night and I heard Moser
- 1:18Speaker 5: and Riiker and I saw some videos and I'm looking
- 1:22Speaker 5: at just all those otto ones, and I'm thinking to myself,
- 1:26Speaker 5: why why did people go all the way up there?
- 1:29Speaker 5: Like what what? What is up there?
- 1:33Speaker 2: What?
- 1:34Speaker 5: Why do people live there? What's up there? What's happening?
- 1:37Speaker 5: Why is outaway that? Why do is Ottawa there.
- 1:39Speaker 2: For trade, for for or for.
- 1:44Speaker 5: The fur? Because I noticed that people like the Montreal.
- 1:47Speaker 6: Can French Canadian fur traders kind of started it all
- 1:52Speaker 6: off way way way back in the day, at least
- 1:54Speaker 6: in Quebec.
- 1:55Speaker 2: That's where I am right now.
- 1:57Speaker 6: And then other dudes and people and and English guys
- 2:01Speaker 6: are like, you know what, maybe we'll go a little
- 2:03Speaker 6: bit more west.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Okay, fine, that's.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Cool and no thanks, And then this is it has
- 2:08Speaker 6: to be in July because once winter hits they're like, oh, crop,
- 2:12Speaker 6: now we're stuck. Yeah, oh I built this cabin and
- 2:16Speaker 6: now it's eighty below.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Screw it. I guess I'll stay.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen, listen what that team, oh
- 2:23Speaker 4: my life, that died and that team wants to be done.
- 2:26Speaker 4: They want to be done. I mean they feel six
- 2:28Speaker 4: shots halfway through the game they finished with eighteen. Like
- 2:31Speaker 4: every single statistical category you could point to is them
- 2:35Speaker 4: just being like, dude, I just get me to this
- 2:37Speaker 4: bleeping break already.
- 2:38Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt about it. It just it feels that way.
- 2:43Speaker 5: You got Toronto up there, and then then you go
- 2:46Speaker 5: further north and you get to Ottawa, and you go
- 2:49Speaker 5: a little bit further north of Montreal, and you just
- 2:52Speaker 5: keep climbing. You go Quebec.
- 2:55Speaker 2: It's just.
- 2:56Speaker 5: One after another. This fur trade. It's freaking fur trade.
- 3:01Speaker 4: You look at these and look, there's another way that
- 3:04Speaker 4: we can do this. There's another trend that's been happening
- 3:09Speaker 4: with the Avs that is not concerning, but it is
- 3:12Speaker 4: of note, I guess, is the way i'd put it.
- 3:15Speaker 4: But you just smacked this team not too long ago,
- 3:20Speaker 4: to the point to where all Ottawa wanted to do
- 3:21Speaker 4: was fight you because they were down by so many goals.
- 3:24Speaker 4: And in this game, you just you came out flat.
- 3:27Speaker 4: You had kind of nothing going for you. Black, to
- 3:30Speaker 4: be fair, Black was the only guy that I thought
- 3:33Speaker 4: played great. He kept do in the game, gave you
- 3:35Speaker 4: an opportunity the first period.
- 3:36Speaker 5: My goodness, You're like, Okay, anybody else want to show up?
- 3:40Speaker 4: No, kidd, But I just you know, Mos, I don't
- 3:45Speaker 4: know what you attribute this more to. I know they're
- 3:46Speaker 4: out a couple of guys, but injuries happened with every team,
- 3:49Speaker 4: but having Taves and and Landi's gog out hurts when
- 3:53Speaker 4: when Marty Nachos went down for a second and looked
- 3:55Speaker 4: like it was bad, I was like, dude, are you
- 3:57Speaker 4: kidding me?
- 3:57Speaker 2: I just want to Yeah, this it feels like a
- 4:00Speaker 2: dog day.
- 4:01Speaker 6: This feels like a dog day game. You know, you
- 4:03Speaker 6: have a couple of days off, it's freezing cold. You know,
- 4:07Speaker 6: you can see, as you talked about Brett, you can
- 4:09Speaker 6: see let's see your Disneyland, okay, and you've really busted
- 4:16Speaker 6: your hump to get in line and you know this
- 4:19Speaker 6: kind of thing, and put yourself in a prime position.
- 4:21Speaker 6: You finally get up there and you can see the
- 4:23Speaker 6: ride right, but but now you still got like five
- 4:26Speaker 6: turns to go before it's your turn. Still right, You're like,
- 4:29Speaker 6: oh man, you know you could see, you can see
- 4:33Speaker 6: the end of the line, but you just can't get
- 4:35Speaker 6: there yet. And so you're like, oh man, that's kind
- 4:37Speaker 6: of the way it feels to me. You know, it's
- 4:39Speaker 6: so amazing. We showed the graphic of total shot attempts
- 4:42Speaker 6: for the Abs, like in their previous four games, and
- 4:45Speaker 6: it was insane, rightyeah, anywhere between like seventy and ninety
- 4:49Speaker 6: five total shot attempts, which is really that's for the
- 4:53Speaker 6: Colorado Avalanche. It's not abnormal. And then through two periods
- 4:58Speaker 6: last night they had eight. I know, you're like, I
- 5:04Speaker 6: think it's just it's just not their game. It's not damn.
- 5:08Speaker 6: And then of course they're so talented, you know, they
- 5:11Speaker 6: can find a way. And park Parker killed him, makes
- 5:12Speaker 6: a great Steel races in you know they as making
- 5:16Speaker 6: another good steal, and Valve dangles in backhands, and I mean,
- 5:19Speaker 6: I was what a gorgeous goal, But you know it's
- 5:22Speaker 6: just too a little too late, and that by the
- 5:23Speaker 6: time that third Perry comes around, you're properly motivated.
- 5:26Speaker 5: How cold is it there?
- 5:28Speaker 2: I think it's a zero.
- 5:29Speaker 6: I think I looked out the window this morning and
- 5:32Speaker 6: all I see is snow going upwards. You know, when
- 5:35Speaker 6: you're in a hotel and the snow, I'm not sure
- 5:37Speaker 6: it's snowing. Yeah, I guess it is snowing, but it's
- 5:40Speaker 6: going upwards like the draft is pushing it.
- 5:43Speaker 2: You're like, it can't snow up, bro, I don't want
- 5:48Speaker 2: to see the snow going up.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Here's here's Bennar after the game.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Yeah. Flat, almost the whole team.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I can't I don't want to group everyone into that
- 5:56Speaker 3: because it's not accurate, but the bulk of team.
- 6:01Speaker 4: I mean, that was it. Especially you kept going to
- 6:03Speaker 4: the box, you know how, I know the as were flat.
- 6:06Speaker 4: When you don't force a single penalty, like you don't
- 6:10Speaker 4: get a single power play, it just means you weren't
- 6:12Speaker 4: putting any pressure.
- 6:13Speaker 5: Should have been one on Kachuck when he when he
- 6:16Speaker 5: took out who did he take out along the boards?
- 6:18Speaker 5: Is that Malinsky?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Who was that? Yeah?
- 6:19Speaker 6: It was Sam Malinsky and Taylor mccarr got cross checked
- 6:23Speaker 6: in the near corner into the boards, hit his head
- 6:26Speaker 6: face first into the boards. That should have been a penalty.
- 6:28Speaker 6: I mean they they could have called a couple. They
- 6:31Speaker 6: didn't charging.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Is that a call that they still make?
- 6:36Speaker 5: When's the least seen it?
- 6:38Speaker 2: Dude? I see about one charging call per year period
- 6:42Speaker 2: in the league.
- 6:45Speaker 5: So what is the definition of charging in hockey?
- 6:48Speaker 6: Well, Puck's not there, guy comes in and blows a
- 6:53Speaker 6: guy up.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Didn't that feel like the ka Chuck hit I thought
- 6:56Speaker 4: it was.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I mean it did to me. Yeah, hit him in
- 6:59Speaker 2: the head.
- 7:00Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's skidded down the boards. It's kind of scary.
- 7:04Speaker 6: And Gavin Brindley got pasted twice by that big Clevin knucklehead,
- 7:07Speaker 6: the guy that Manson beat the hell out of on
- 7:10Speaker 6: January eighth. That guy blew up Gavin Brinley twice. But
- 7:14Speaker 6: clean hits man. I can't I can't complain about it.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Hey, just something else of note.
- 7:20Speaker 6: By the way, I'm sorry Vick here, it's eleven tonight
- 7:23Speaker 6: after the game, it'll be minus four.
- 7:24Speaker 2: How about that?
- 7:26Speaker 5: Of note?
- 7:29Speaker 4: The AVS record since Landeskog left a few minutes into
- 7:33Speaker 4: that Florida game, they're four five and two. Yeah, just
- 7:40Speaker 4: something of note. I know it looks like they've just
- 7:42Speaker 4: kind of checked out until they get to this break
- 7:44Speaker 4: here they had four games left until then. But also
- 7:48Speaker 4: not having Landy seems to have a pretty big impact
- 7:50Speaker 4: on that too.
- 7:51Speaker 5: Yeah, it does.
- 7:52Speaker 2: I mean he's when you look at the record with
- 7:54Speaker 2: him in the lineup this year, I mean, he just
- 7:56Speaker 2: means an awful lot.
- 7:57Speaker 6: But I try to tell people that gave Landiscog impact
- 8:01Speaker 6: on the Colorado Avalanche, not just on the ice spread.
- 8:04Speaker 6: How many times have we had have we had this conversation,
- 8:08Speaker 6: you know a billion times when he was out right
- 8:11Speaker 6: you want the complete player because you know he means
- 8:15Speaker 6: a lot on and off the ice. You know what
- 8:17Speaker 6: he brings brings an everything as what he brings. I
- 8:22Speaker 6: think when he plays, when he's around, when he's on.
- 8:25Speaker 5: The ice, especially when he's on the ice, because he's
- 8:27Speaker 5: part of that package. Accountability is a big deal for
- 8:31Speaker 5: a team.
- 8:31Speaker 2: What did Dyke?
- 8:32Speaker 6: What did I always say when we were talking about
- 8:35Speaker 6: Gabe and you know, what are you gonna do with
- 8:38Speaker 6: his bread and all this kind of thing. I said, yeah,
- 8:40Speaker 6: you have the cap space, fans, I want the cap space.
- 8:43Speaker 6: I want the money. And I said, okay, fine, you
- 8:46Speaker 6: can have that. I want the player. I want the guy.
- 8:50Speaker 6: Remember that, Brett, Yeah, you recall these words coming out
- 8:53Speaker 6: of my mouth or is your memory like a goldfish?
- 8:56Speaker 2: Well, then spit it out.
- 8:57Speaker 5: For the fifth time.
- 8:58Speaker 4: I do remember you saying that.
- 8:59Speaker 6: Yes, okay, good, okay, okay, good. Now we've cleared that up.
- 9:03Speaker 6: I said, I want the player, you know, and he
- 9:06Speaker 6: means a lot to this team. He's on the trip,
- 9:08Speaker 6: he's skating, which is all good. And I took a
- 9:10Speaker 6: picture of him the other day. I got badgered by
- 9:13Speaker 6: VIC so I know, I know what I need to do.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Yeah, they.
- 9:20Speaker 4: It's funny. I have almost no doubt in my mind
- 9:24Speaker 4: because this is how it's happened in the last two
- 9:26Speaker 4: times that they played a really flat nothing game. I
- 9:30Speaker 4: think they're gonna wax Montreal tonight because I mean, look,
- 9:35Speaker 4: the last two times has happened. It was the game
- 9:36Speaker 4: against Nashville. You came out and you won against Washington
- 9:39Speaker 4: five to two. Then you have that awful game against Philly.
- 9:42Speaker 4: He came out, you smacked around a four to one.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Like I just once they have one of these games,
- 9:47Speaker 4: it's almost like they're.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Like, what do we just do? Yeah?
- 9:50Speaker 6: What teams don't what good teams don't do is they
- 9:52Speaker 6: don't string it along between three, four or five games. Right, Yeah,
- 9:57Speaker 6: you have a stopper right away. Boom oh again you
- 10:00Speaker 6: you go through a little bit of a skid stretch
- 10:01Speaker 6: where you're four or five and two and eleven.
- 10:04Speaker 2: You know, whatever it happens. The Apps are still a favorite.
- 10:09Speaker 6: I mean, the ABS are playing back to back games
- 10:12Speaker 6: coming into Montreal, the number one wild card in the East.
- 10:15Speaker 6: The Montreal Canadians and the Abs are still a favorite
- 10:18Speaker 6: going into this game. I mean it just shows you.
- 10:21Speaker 5: I noticed mos that you know, Ottawa and Montreal are
- 10:24Speaker 5: very close. What's the distance there between the two? I
- 10:27Speaker 5: mean they're separated by Vic.
- 10:30Speaker 2: We've driven it before.
- 10:31Speaker 6: Last night we flew okay, but but we couldn't drive
- 10:34Speaker 6: because the snow soil frigging bad. It would take it
- 10:36Speaker 6: like the Donner Party. You know, I'd be I'd be
- 10:39Speaker 6: eating Riker's leg by the time we got to the border.
- 10:42Speaker 7: You know.
- 10:43Speaker 2: All right, so you're going from the real, real, real
- 10:45Speaker 2: Donner Party stuff here.
- 10:46Speaker 5: You're going from Ontario to Quebec. Correct, that's the correction.
- 10:50Speaker 5: And and Ottawa was virtually on the border of coming
- 10:53Speaker 5: to board. But I noticed last night after Ottawa goals,
- 10:56Speaker 5: the PA announcer everything was done in English. You go
- 11:00Speaker 5: to Montreal both Oh really they do?
- 11:04Speaker 2: They know they do dual they do dual talk, they do.
- 11:07Speaker 5: But in Toronto is it duel or is it just English?
- 11:10Speaker 4: All right, hang on, we gotta stop for a second, Nelly,
- 11:12Speaker 4: I need you to go back and home through the segment.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I want you to find a single thing that Vic
- 11:16Speaker 4: has said about the hockey instead of Canadian geography or
- 11:19Speaker 4: language was.
- 11:21Speaker 5: A waste of time.
- 11:22Speaker 4: I know everything you've said is just about Canada closes
- 11:27Speaker 4: into this. How did Atawa start fur trading?
- 11:31Speaker 5: I was, I was completely I sat there and watched
- 11:34Speaker 5: the entire game last night, and the game I could
- 11:36Speaker 5: tell that that the ads were disinterested, so was I.
- 11:39Speaker 5: I was disinstered. So then my focus went to why
- 11:43Speaker 5: people would live in Otawa, Like, what, what's the point?
- 11:46Speaker 5: Why would you stay there? You know, every region it's
- 11:49Speaker 5: area of fixing.
- 11:50Speaker 2: But Vix right, Vick is correct.
- 11:52Speaker 6: It's almost like northern Minnesota, like International Falls, where it's
- 11:55Speaker 6: just there's nothing to stop the polarness of the polar
- 11:59Speaker 6: from pole down the middle.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I get stuff. There's no mountains, there's no It's just
- 12:03Speaker 2: plains and prairies.
- 12:04Speaker 6: And I'm thinking to myself every time I'm in like
- 12:06Speaker 6: in Edmonton, and I wake up and then I get
- 12:09Speaker 6: to like eight forty five in the morning and it's
- 12:10Speaker 6: still dark outside in the middle of the winter and
- 12:13Speaker 6: it's minus twenty.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and I go, humans chose to be here,
- 12:19Speaker 2: They chose on their own.
- 12:20Speaker 6: I just free will I want to be and like
- 12:22Speaker 6: the there's I would just hold on, start walking south,
- 12:25Speaker 6: hold on until you found sunshine.
- 12:27Speaker 4: Hold on, I want to do a one man show
- 12:30Speaker 4: for a second, because I'm gonna play the roles of
- 12:32Speaker 4: both myself and Vic. So the ass just looked like
- 12:37Speaker 4: they want to get to this break. They're also four
- 12:39Speaker 4: or five and two with atlandiskag. How cold is it
- 12:44Speaker 4: their emotion?
- 12:45Speaker 5: Damn keep going?
- 12:51Speaker 2: I just.
- 12:53Speaker 4: How close is it from Ottawa to Montrealal.
- 12:58Speaker 5: Well, don't you understand, like every you could be the
- 13:01Speaker 5: most loyal Avalanche fan right now, and you just there's
- 13:05Speaker 5: certain games where you throw your hands up and say, okay,
- 13:08Speaker 5: that that wasn't real. That wasn't real.
- 13:10Speaker 4: They've had a bad stretch though here, and look they're
- 13:12Speaker 4: allowed to have it. It's an eighty two game season.
- 13:14Speaker 4: You're gonna have them. I understand that this is a
- 13:16Speaker 4: bad tan.
- 13:17Speaker 6: Say please, I'm begging you because it just gets me chuckling,
- 13:22Speaker 6: and I don't want to try.
- 13:23Speaker 5: I know what you're thinking, and I know where you're
- 13:25Speaker 5: going with the flight attendant or the lady in the airport.
- 13:27Speaker 5: I know as soon as I said that, I said,
- 13:29Speaker 5: he's gonna think that the point is that game was
- 13:31Speaker 5: just an offshoot. That game was not what the Avalanche are.
- 13:35Speaker 5: So as long as they play that way, and we
- 13:37Speaker 5: know that they played that way. I'm focused on the geography,
- 13:41Speaker 5: the topography, everything about Ottawa, and I'm curious why so
- 13:46Speaker 5: why are they speaking French after goals? If they don't
- 13:49Speaker 5: do it in Toronto, it's in Ontario, it's an Ontario province.
- 13:52Speaker 5: But then you move over to what's that.
- 13:55Speaker 6: I'll explain if you'd like me to explain. Yeah, first
- 13:58Speaker 6: of all, there was a lot of beavers here in
- 14:00Speaker 6: the back in the day, beavers.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Just why they're speaking French after That's all I care about.
- 14:06Speaker 6: I don't care about your beavers because Canada is because
- 14:09Speaker 6: Ottawa is the capital of Canada and they have both
- 14:12Speaker 6: French Canadians and and English Canadians living there, and so
- 14:18Speaker 6: you have people in Parliament from Quebec, so they do
- 14:22Speaker 6: It's it's dual for the for the entire country because
- 14:25Speaker 6: it's right there. I'm gonna give capital, but it's on
- 14:28Speaker 6: the border.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Knucklehead, you're educating me.
- 14:31Speaker 5: I'm asking, I'm asking for you.
- 14:33Speaker 4: I'm gonna everybody stop. I'm gonna give Vick what he wants.
- 14:38Speaker 4: It's gonna be thirty seconds. Some fun facts about Ottawa.
- 14:42Speaker 4: You ready, please, it's the seventh coldest capital in the world.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I believe it.
- 14:49Speaker 4: It's called the Silicon Valley of the North. It has
- 14:52Speaker 4: one of the highest concentrations of engineer, scientists, and PhDs
- 14:56Speaker 4: per capita.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Really that's a lie.
- 14:59Speaker 6: Uh.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Hollywood star Tom Cruise lived in Ottawa in the early
- 15:02Speaker 4: nineteen seventies and attended school there.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Nobody really accepted.
- 15:07Speaker 3: It's home to the world's largest maize at the Saunders Farm.
- 15:13Speaker 5: The hell.
- 15:16Speaker 4: And the name Ottawa is derived from the Algonquin word
- 15:20Speaker 4: meaning to trade because of his historic trading hub. Gotcha, Aha,
- 15:26Speaker 4: So there go.
- 15:27Speaker 2: I told you it was all about the beavers.
- 15:29Speaker 5: I told you that, gotcha.
- 15:32Speaker 2: It's about beavers and mink.
- 15:34Speaker 5: All right, I'm good now, nobody believe.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I'm glad.
- 15:38Speaker 5: See I wish I had that information. That didn't tell
- 15:41Speaker 5: And this is where you guys on the broadcast last night,
- 15:43Speaker 5: you guys failed me. You guys failed the viewers. If
- 15:46Speaker 5: you're going to broadcast from Ottawa, at least provide some
- 15:49Speaker 5: background on what it is in White people live there.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
- 15:54Speaker 5: All I cared about last night, Well, the game. There
- 15:57Speaker 5: was nothing to care about.
- 15:58Speaker 7: The game.
- 15:59Speaker 5: They didn't play hard.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Uh yeah, Brett, it was it that game last night.
- 16:04Speaker 6: I felt like, I mean, you've how good are your teeth?

- 16:15Speaker 6: bar and it broke my tooth in half.
- 16:16Speaker 2: It's that was terrible. I hated that. But it's just like,

- 18:00Speaker 4: that way. So here's the situation. Sean Payton a couple
- 18:06Speaker 4: days ago, when he was doing his press conference, said
- 18:08Speaker 4: this about bo Nicks.
- 18:09Speaker 9: What was found though a condition that was like predisposed
- 18:12Speaker 9: right at that where they always find a little bit
- 18:15Speaker 9: more when they go in and it wasn't a matter
- 18:17Speaker 9: of if, it was a matter of when.
- 18:18Speaker 2: So because when you look at the play and you're trying.
- 18:21Speaker 9: To evaluate it, he said, the doctor operating surgeon said
- 18:26Speaker 9: that this was going to happen sooner than later.
- 18:31Speaker 4: So he says all that, and bo Nicks, who I
- 18:33Speaker 4: think we all kind of understand. Bon Nicks is a
- 18:35Speaker 4: lot like Sean Payton. I don't think he wants to
- 18:37Speaker 4: talk to people unless he has to. But he kind
- 18:40Speaker 4: of went out of his way to talk to people
- 18:43Speaker 4: about this injury yesterday.
- 18:46Speaker 10: And said this didn't have any predisposed issues. Man, my
- 18:50Speaker 10: uncles were feeling really good. I don't think he really
- 18:53Speaker 10: should share how many surgeries I've had in the past,
- 18:56Speaker 10: to be honest with you, because I don't, you know,
- 18:57Speaker 10: he doesn't really.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Even know that.
- 18:59Speaker 10: But I think it's gonna be good, you know, to
- 19:02Speaker 10: get back, get to work, start from ground zero, work
- 19:05Speaker 10: from the bottom up, get back to training. Nothing really
- 19:07Speaker 10: that concerns me, nothing that scares me going forward, like I'm,
- 19:12Speaker 10: you know, injury prone or anything. This is one of
- 19:14Speaker 10: those just inconvenient football players can't necessarily avoid anything in
- 19:19Speaker 10: the future. But I feel really good that my body's
- 19:21Speaker 10: gonna be in good shape.
- 19:22Speaker 4: What's happening there.
- 19:23Speaker 5: I've been around a long time. I've attended a lot
- 19:26Speaker 5: of press conferences, especially those at Broncos headquarters. And here
- 19:31Speaker 5: is my first inclination when I heard all this, hmm,
- 19:35Speaker 5: bo Nix is holding a press conference and we have
- 19:38Speaker 5: like ninety minutes to prepare for it. The email was setting.
- 19:43Speaker 5: Now he's gonna talk. And even before you said a word,
- 19:46Speaker 5: I said to myself, Oh, this is a reactionary press conference.
- 19:51Speaker 5: This is he wants to say something. Yeah, he wants
- 19:55Speaker 5: to So he walked in and said I want to
- 19:57Speaker 5: say something, and I'd like to say it now. And
- 19:59Speaker 5: perhaps it was planned for Monday and he didn't have
- 20:02Speaker 5: time to do it Monday. I don't know, but clearly
- 20:05Speaker 5: this was his idea to speak to the media because
- 20:08Speaker 5: he wanted to get a message out and the message
- 20:11Speaker 5: goes counter to what Sean Payton said about his injury.
- 20:13Speaker 5: So he wanted to clarify the injury thing.
- 20:15Speaker 2: That's all.
- 20:16Speaker 5: That's all that, and listen, at the end of the day,
- 20:19Speaker 5: we're gonna pick this and say, oh my god, there's
- 20:21Speaker 5: a rift between There's no rift now they're fine Sean Payton,
- 20:25Speaker 5: and clearly Bo wanted people to understand that he's not
- 20:30Speaker 5: injury prone. He doesn't have these these these cankles that
- 20:33Speaker 5: continue to get injured. That's not the case. He's fine.
- 20:36Speaker 5: That's all he wanted to do. Yeah, that's all he
- 20:39Speaker 5: wanted to do. He doesn't have cankeles. That's that was
- 20:41Speaker 5: the message of that press conference. But people are gonna
- 20:44Speaker 5: take it to another level now. Oh Bo and Sean
- 20:47Speaker 5: hate each other. Oh, but that's not the case. Calm down,
- 20:50Speaker 5: I agree, I agree.
- 20:51Speaker 4: I don't think this is any This isn't a huge
- 20:53Speaker 4: thing at all. I do think it's weird though. The
- 20:56Speaker 4: first ten seconds of that clip, he says, I don't
- 20:59Speaker 4: think Sean should be talking about my past surgeries. That
- 21:02Speaker 4: was a weird thing to say out loud.
- 21:03Speaker 5: That was one of those it shows you what relationship
- 21:06Speaker 5: they really have. Yeah, it's a relationship not of Oh
- 21:11Speaker 5: he doesn't bow to to Sean Payton's altar. They're sort
- 21:14Speaker 5: of like friends as well as.
- 21:18Speaker 2: What's that he should what do you mean?
- 21:21Speaker 6: Sean Payton got him first run money, now he's performing.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Sean Payton took him twelfth overall Sean Payton scouted him.
- 21:28Speaker 6: Sean Payton made the pick when nobody else would make
- 21:31Speaker 6: the pick. Sean Payton set him up to everything. He
- 21:33Speaker 6: is right now as a call, and he's returning that
- 21:35Speaker 6: favor to back to back.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Good.
- 21:41Speaker 6: So I said, I like the tone, and you know what,
- 21:46Speaker 6: listen if Sean let me defend Sean Payton here a
- 21:49Speaker 6: little bit, who I find to be prickly at times.
- 21:51Speaker 6: I'm fully, fully accepting of that, and I admit that
- 21:56Speaker 6: I call him prickly and I call him other things.
- 22:00Speaker 6: But Bonnicks sounded to me like he thought Peyton had
- 22:03Speaker 6: some sort of mal intent, at least the tone of
- 22:06Speaker 6: his voice. I don't know you should be talking about
- 22:08Speaker 6: my surgeries. In fact, he doesn't even know how many
- 22:09Speaker 6: I've had.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Well, you know what was weird?
- 22:12Speaker 4: That's second part.
- 22:13Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like your coach doesn't out to screw you.
- 22:17Speaker 6: But maybe listen, maybe he's protecting his second contract. Like, hey,
- 22:21Speaker 6: I'm not injury prone. I think that we believe anything
- 22:24Speaker 6: this old man's saying. You know, I mean maybe, I mean,
- 22:26Speaker 6: I think there's a purpose for all of this. The
- 22:28Speaker 6: agent gets in your ear and says, hey, man, this
- 22:30Speaker 6: guy says you're injury prone and you know you need
- 22:33Speaker 6: to nip that in the bud right now.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I mean whatever.
- 22:37Speaker 4: So I think it's two things. The reason he did this.
- 22:41Speaker 4: I think it's one he's defending himself from that injury
- 22:44Speaker 4: prone tag because, first of all, most she's got a
- 22:47Speaker 4: contract coming up in a couple of years that injuries
- 22:50Speaker 4: are going to be part of that discussion. He wants
- 22:52Speaker 4: to make sure that I'm not injury prone. This is
- 22:53Speaker 4: a clean break. It was a freak thing.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I get that.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Secondly, maybe he doesn't like talking about that because he
- 23:00Speaker 4: it's the hockey mentality all they'll target my ankles now
- 23:03Speaker 4: or something like that. Maybe that's a part of it too.
- 23:06Speaker 4: The second one though, is he doesn't know how many
- 23:08Speaker 4: surgeries I've had. I'm like, they do a full medical
- 23:13Speaker 4: check on you, since you're like two years old.
- 23:15Speaker 2: They know everything wrong with you.
- 23:17Speaker 5: I called BS there because you know, head coaches on
- 23:20Speaker 5: a weekly basis talk about injuries. So for those of
- 23:22Speaker 5: you who think, oh, well, Sean Payton shouldn't be talking
- 23:25Speaker 5: about a player's injuries, well that's exactly what he's paid
- 23:28Speaker 5: to do on a weekly basis. Is this guy gonna
- 23:31Speaker 5: be available, how's his foot? And most of the time,
- 23:34Speaker 5: I think what's what's interesting here is most of the
- 23:37Speaker 5: time Sean Payton says what about injuries, he doesn't say anything.
- 23:40Speaker 4: He basically says none.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Ya.
- 23:43Speaker 5: But after the season, when the season is done, when
- 23:46Speaker 5: those injuries have no impact on upcoming games, all bets
- 23:51Speaker 5: are off.
- 23:52Speaker 4: I just he doesn't know my full pass medical history.
- 23:54Speaker 4: He doesn't know I skin my knee skateboarding when I
- 23:56Speaker 4: was eight years old. He doesn't know that.
- 23:57Speaker 2: He doesn't know I have my tonsils out when I
- 23:59Speaker 2: was twelve. You're not supposed to know I had my
- 24:01Speaker 2: tonses on when I was twelve. But I think I
- 24:03Speaker 2: just I just, I just well, I just vic I
- 24:05Speaker 2: thought it was I thought it was I thought it
- 24:09Speaker 2: was a bit disrespectful.
- 24:11Speaker 5: You thought it was disrespectful for the kid to challenge
- 24:14Speaker 5: the coach.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Well, he doesn't have to talking to my guy all wrong,
- 24:18Speaker 2: that's wrong.
- 24:19Speaker 5: Tell that's what I'm here.
- 24:20Speaker 6: He doesn't have any mal intent about his quarterback. I
- 24:23Speaker 6: think he's trying to be, you know, fourth right with
- 24:26Speaker 6: I agree transpired and maybe even defend his guy. And look,
- 24:30Speaker 6: I mean, Peyton obviously got his information from somewhere. So
- 24:34Speaker 6: if we're talking, if we're gonna sit here and bitch
- 24:36Speaker 6: and moan and whine and complain or or argue about
- 24:40Speaker 6: semantics of predisposed, well, then screw you.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Do not bite the hand that feeds you, kid, Do
- 24:45Speaker 2: not do it.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Sean Payton's would be Sean Payton's security blanket, his bow nicks.
- 24:49Speaker 5: I mean he's tied to him, right, he drafted him.
- 24:51Speaker 5: He said, do not bite the hand that feeds you.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 24:55Speaker 4: You you were I'm not even saying you wrong thought.
- 24:57Speaker 4: You're just way more fired up about this than I am.
- 24:59Speaker 2: I So I don't think it's a pop for it.
- 25:01Speaker 5: I I don't disagree with Mos, but I also think
- 25:04Speaker 5: it's no big deal.
- 25:05Speaker 2: I don't.
- 25:05Speaker 5: I think Peyton is laughing about it. Peyton is. It's
- 25:09Speaker 5: not going to cause a rift. It's not like they're
- 25:11Speaker 5: gonna behind the scenes argue about medical history. I think.
- 25:15Speaker 5: I think when Bo probably go up to Seawan and say, hey, man,
- 25:17Speaker 5: don't tell everybody all this stuff. That's all that's it,
- 25:22Speaker 5: you know, and and perhaps Bo is protecting his future contract,
- 25:27Speaker 5: maybe that is, Hey, I don't need people thinking a China.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Doll out there.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Yeah, there's also like, I mean, let's do the athlete
- 25:38Speaker 4: translation injury prone. Injury prone translate translates athlete language to
- 25:43Speaker 4: what soft. And there is that that if you're labeled
- 25:49Speaker 4: injury prone, what are people really saying? God, the guys
- 25:52Speaker 4: made a glass, he can't take a hit.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Hey, I get it, I get it. I think listen it.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I'm not even saying that I blame bo Nicks. I'm not.
- 25:58Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not even saying he's wrong. I'm saying
- 26:01Speaker 6: I think that's a behind the closed doors type of thing.
- 26:03Speaker 6: I don't think that's a Hey, I'm gonna call my
- 26:05Speaker 6: own zoom conference and uh, I want Sean to do
- 26:08Speaker 6: a conference now, I tell you how wrong my I'm
- 26:11Speaker 6: gonna call a news conference to tell you how wrong
- 26:13Speaker 6: my coach is.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I don't. It just doesn't sit right with me. I don't.
- 26:17Speaker 2: I don't think that's appropriate.
- 26:18Speaker 5: And I'm just curious, is every player allowed to just
- 26:21Speaker 5: now hold a press conference?
- 26:23Speaker 2: All right?
- 26:23Speaker 5: My turn? I got something to say? Is every player
- 26:27Speaker 5: just here's cross shaws alert the media in one hour?
- 26:30Speaker 5: I got things to say, Like what if Jared Stidham said,
- 26:34Speaker 5: I get the boys on board. I want to talk
- 26:36Speaker 5: about that play and who was actually wrong on that play.
- 26:40Speaker 5: When Tyler Braday says, now, I don't like the way
- 26:42Speaker 5: people are mis conceived. I don't like the way people
- 26:45Speaker 5: are drawing up that.
- 26:47Speaker 4: I think those are called podcasts. Now, Oh yeah, that's
- 26:50Speaker 4: a good point.
- 26:51Speaker 7: Uh.
- 26:51Speaker 4: By the way, Penner spoke as well yesterday, and we
- 26:55Speaker 4: were trying to figure out, like, what would you ask
- 26:57Speaker 4: him and vict The only thing I could think of
- 26:58Speaker 4: is would you would you have closed the roof if
- 27:01Speaker 4: you were playing in the new stadium in that game.
- 27:03Speaker 2: I was waiting.
- 27:04Speaker 5: I listened to the press conference and I'm listening, and
- 27:06Speaker 5: I'm listening, I said, is somebody ever going to ask
- 27:08Speaker 5: the damn question? Everybody obviously wants to hear, And I
- 27:11Speaker 5: think it was a news reporter who finally asked it.
- 27:13Speaker 7: We're evaluating retractable roof options. You all saw the weather
- 27:17Speaker 7: this year. It was fantastic. I mean until the really
- 27:20Speaker 7: until the last game. The NFL does have guidelines or
- 27:23Speaker 7: rules around the home teams choosing what they're going to
- 27:26Speaker 7: do with their roof and when they can open or
- 27:28Speaker 7: close it, So we'd obviously comply with that in this case,
- 27:31Speaker 7: we would have likely closed it ahead of time given
- 27:33Speaker 7: the both the temperature and the potential precipitation.
- 27:37Speaker 4: Who knows if that.
- 27:38Speaker 7: Would have had any outcome on the on the game
- 27:40Speaker 7: either way. This would have been more around just what
- 27:43Speaker 7: was going to be good for the fans. So it's
- 27:44Speaker 7: pretty rough.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Can I ask you guys this question, because I think
- 27:49Speaker 4: we all agree they probably would have he just said it,
- 27:51Speaker 4: They probably would have closed the roof with what if
- 27:54Speaker 4: they were playing Josh Allen that day?
- 27:57Speaker 2: Do you leave it open?
- 27:58Speaker 5: Depends on what your team is. What's your team?
- 28:01Speaker 4: But this was the Broncos, the backup quarterback, good defense,
- 28:04Speaker 4: Josh Allen, MVP candidate every single year. I mean, do
- 28:06Speaker 4: you do you leave it open knowing that that weather's
- 28:09Speaker 4: coming to mess with them?
- 28:10Speaker 5: Do you have a running football team that can slog
- 28:12Speaker 5: through it? The Broncos are not that. So if the
- 28:15Speaker 5: Broncos are what we saw, they were right and they
- 28:17Speaker 5: needed to close, they will close the roof if it
- 28:20Speaker 5: helps your team. Certainly you think about that. That's why
- 28:24Speaker 5: you have home field advantage. If you have a run
- 28:27Speaker 5: first team that just goes right at you and you
- 28:30Speaker 5: know that they can't stop it. Yeah, yeah, of course
- 28:33Speaker 5: that's not what they are. And that's the point. That's
- 28:37Speaker 5: why you fight, and there you win and you scrap
- 28:39Speaker 5: to get home field. When you have home field, you
- 28:42Speaker 5: choose to do whatever the hell you want with that roof. See,
- 28:44Speaker 5: And that's where people are wrong on this, and that's
- 28:47Speaker 5: why I think the roof is important.
- 28:49Speaker 2: That gives you the option.
- 28:50Speaker 5: Is the home team now if five years from now,
- 28:53Speaker 5: when they do get a new stadium and a new
- 28:55Speaker 5: roof and all that stuff, maybe they're a different kind
- 28:57Speaker 5: of team. They play a different kind of way, and
- 29:00Speaker 5: they have that choice.
- 29:04Speaker 4: I always thought about, like, what if you were the
- 29:07Speaker 4: fan that's like, yeah, I know they're playing in January,
- 29:09Speaker 4: but it'll be fine. They'll close the roof and that's
- 29:11Speaker 4: the day that they decide five degrees outside, six inches
- 29:14Speaker 4: of snow, No, no, no, this is gonna help us today.
- 29:16Speaker 4: Leave this sing open. You're like, oh, come on, it's
- 29:19Speaker 4: expecting warm.
- 29:20Speaker 5: Well, I will say this as Greg Greg says, it's
- 29:24Speaker 5: for the fans, right, It's it's for the game. What
- 29:28Speaker 5: will give you the better benefit in that game?
- 29:31Speaker 4: And text says, hey, Brett josh Allen plays in Buffalo.
- 29:33Speaker 4: He's used to those conditions, not snow like that.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Snow like that.
- 29:37Speaker 5: Nobody, nobody's used to that. I'm gonna repeat this, and
- 29:41Speaker 5: I'm going to be very clear. There's a lot of
- 29:43Speaker 5: people that play in the cold and the snow, and
- 29:46Speaker 5: nobody is used to the conditions we saw in the
- 29:49Speaker 5: fourth quarter. Nobody, those were ridiculous conditions.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Could you repeat that and be very clear for me? Please?
- 29:58Speaker 2: I don't understan and I need to re repeat it
- 30:01Speaker 2: and very clearer, if you would please.
- 30:06Speaker 4: That nobody's used to those conditions.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Nobody's used to those conditions.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Thank you, Oh, thank you. Hang on.
- 30:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I was lost yesterday what was coming here?
- 30:18Speaker 6: And we shouldn't understand what he's doing. No, I don't
- 30:20Speaker 6: like I don't like this quarterback thing. Let me let me,
- 30:23Speaker 6: let me let me go a little bit further. You've
- 30:25Speaker 6: that burnt up of that it huh yeah, you're damn right,
- 30:27Speaker 6: am okay, you're damn right. And because it's it's about decorum,
- 30:30Speaker 6: and it's about it's about I understand where he's coming from.
- 30:36Speaker 6: If I'm if I'm bon Nick's, I get it.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Where's our decorum?
- 30:40Speaker 2: Gavel? You don't do did somebody take it?
- 30:43Speaker 8: Did d Mac lift that too?
- 30:45Speaker 6: So they steal our money and they steal our gavel.
- 30:48Speaker 6: This is ridiculous, man, gosh, this is absolutely outrageous. It's gone,
- 30:54Speaker 6: can't find it. That's outrageous. I just don't look. Hey, somebody,
- 31:00Speaker 6: somebody texted it. Would you rather have a ten year
- 31:02Speaker 6: quarterback or a coach? I'll take the quarterback. Hey man,
- 31:05Speaker 6: as of right this second, I want everybody to listen
- 31:07Speaker 6: to me. As of right this second, Sean Payton has
- 31:12Speaker 6: made that kid so far, he's made him and he
- 31:14Speaker 6: can make him more. But that's what's happened so far.
- 31:18Speaker 4: He's hand in this emotion.
- 31:23Speaker 6: Understood, But I'm telling you right now what we've said
- 31:25Speaker 6: it since day one. This coach has a vested interest
- 31:28Speaker 6: in this quarterback succeeding.
- 31:29Speaker 5: They're tied at the hip.
- 31:31Speaker 2: They're tied at the hip. So I don't I don't.
- 31:33Speaker 2: I don't like that. I don't like it.
- 31:36Speaker 6: You want a new head coaching here, coaching that kid. Fine,
- 31:39Speaker 6: you want to get you want to get another horse's
- 31:42Speaker 6: tail in here, and that ain't his guy. You want
- 31:45Speaker 6: to talk about fun, We'll have a lot of fun.
- 31:47Speaker 6: Hold on, I just think this needs to settle this
- 31:49Speaker 6: needs to settle down right now and move forward.
- 31:51Speaker 2: But I don't. I just I don't like the outside
- 31:54Speaker 2: the fence thing. I don't like it most.
- 31:57Speaker 5: But I don't you know, you you give me the
- 32:00Speaker 5: the thoughts now that perhaps Sean Payton is sitting at
- 32:03Speaker 5: home grumbling that bone Nicks held the press conference. I
- 32:06Speaker 5: don't think that's the case at all. I think he's
- 32:07Speaker 5: sort of like, yeah, go ahead, man, it's it's your
- 32:10Speaker 5: right kid.
- 32:11Speaker 6: No, pin, that's that's totally fine. Okay, Well, you can
- 32:15Speaker 6: think whatever you want to think. We don't know the
- 32:17Speaker 6: true story. If it was me and and you know
- 32:22Speaker 6: my quarterback did that, then I would be I would
- 32:26Speaker 6: it wouldn't sit Well, that's a behind the closed doors
- 32:28Speaker 6: type of thing.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Hey, coach, come on, man, don't don't just don't talk
- 32:32Speaker 2: about this anymore.
- 32:33Speaker 6: Okay, maybe, Hey man, I appreciate it if you wouldn't
- 32:36Speaker 6: if you wouldn't explain my surgeries and that sort of thing.
- 32:38Speaker 6: By the way, I thought what Peyton said was very benign.
- 32:41Speaker 6: I I mean, it wasn't like you threw him in
- 32:43Speaker 6: under any friggin bus and you got to call your
- 32:45Speaker 6: own zoom call.
- 32:46Speaker 2: I I mean I think I don't know. I just
- 32:49Speaker 2: I found it to be awkward and I found it
- 32:51Speaker 2: to be a little bit excessive, so that, in my opinion,
- 32:55Speaker 2: I want to hear.
- 32:57Speaker 5: Did we already play bone Nicks talking about it? Yeah, okay,
- 33:00Speaker 5: I'm because I felt that.
- 33:02Speaker 4: I mean, this is the first I'll give you the
- 33:03Speaker 4: first ten seconds again, because we'll.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Do this well.
- 33:05Speaker 10: I'll predisposed issues. Man, my ankles were feeling really good.
- 33:10Speaker 10: I don't think he really should share how many surgeries
- 33:12Speaker 10: I've had in the past, to be honest with you,
- 33:14Speaker 10: because I don't, you know, he doesn't really even know that.
- 33:17Speaker 10: But I think it's gonna be good.
- 33:19Speaker 5: Okay, That's where I completely he doesn't really know that.
- 33:25Speaker 5: You would have to be a fool to think that
- 33:28Speaker 5: an organization and in the NFL and a head coach
- 33:32Speaker 5: who completely scouted you thoroughly wouldn't know how many surgeries
- 33:36Speaker 5: you've had on those ankles.
- 33:37Speaker 4: They would know if you had a moleramove, they would
- 33:40Speaker 4: know if you if you shave your legs.
- 33:42Speaker 5: They would know everything about you. Trust me, they knew
- 33:47Speaker 5: how many surgeries he's had on those ankles.
- 33:50Speaker 6: The organization has his best interest at heart. He's acting
- 33:55Speaker 6: like like uh uh, like I don't know, like the
- 33:58Speaker 6: organizations against him were, you know, or trying to put
- 34:01Speaker 6: dirty laundry out there when they're not.
- 34:04Speaker 2: No, that's all I don't I don't get it.
- 34:06Speaker 5: You said it best. I think it was you who
- 34:08Speaker 5: said it, Moser or perhaps Greg with two g's. That
- 34:14Speaker 5: was a strike, That was a message, don't mess with
- 34:16Speaker 5: my second contract.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that was three or three.
- 34:20Speaker 6: You know what, if you don't have Sean Payton, you
- 34:21Speaker 6: maybe ain't getting no second contract with his franchise.
- 34:24Speaker 4: We'll get back to this in a bit. Three oh
- 34:25Speaker 4: three five oh four oh nine two five. Reminder of
- 34:27Speaker 4: the keyword for this hour is movie. So text set
- 34:30Speaker 4: in your first and last name to three ozho three
- 34:31Speaker 4: five oh four oh nine two five. It's a chance
- 34:34Speaker 4: to get in the building for tomorrow's game against the Clippers.
- 34:39Speaker 4: When me come back, it's the return of MPJ Tonight
- 34:41Speaker 4: and I talked about this a little bit in the appetizer,
- 34:43Speaker 4: and I was really really surprised by some of the
- 34:46Speaker 4: responses on this. So we'll get to it in just
- 34:48Speaker 4: a second. Back after this, we're double dipping tonight, Aves
- 34:50Speaker 4: and Nuggets turning on Am nine point fifty starting at
- 34:53Speaker 4: four thirty to your pregame coverage of AVS in Canadians.
- 34:57Speaker 4: It's powered by Ramos Law. The Nuggets welcome MPJ back
- 35:00Speaker 4: Denver with the Nets. Pregame starts at six thirty, also
- 35:04Speaker 4: powered by Ramos Laws. So I was talking about this earlier.
- 35:08Speaker 2: You will that quick.
- 35:09Speaker 6: The Abs are wearing the Quebec Nordique sweaters tonight in Montreal.
- 35:12Speaker 6: It's gonna be kind of cool.
- 35:14Speaker 5: And I want to get back to some stuff, Sean
- 35:16Speaker 5: Payton said, because Chris Thomasin had a wonderful article in
- 35:19Speaker 5: the Gazette today talking to recently fired Joe Lombardi. Yeah,
- 35:23Speaker 5: and it'll tell you a little background on how on
- 35:27Speaker 5: the relationship between Sean Payton and his coaches and players,
- 35:31Speaker 5: and it'll make that whole thing with BO seem like
- 35:33Speaker 5: no big deal.
- 35:34Speaker 4: So we'll do that at eight o'clock. So I mentioned
- 35:38Speaker 4: this earlier that if MPJA is grated with anything but
- 35:40Speaker 4: eighteen thousand people standing up and clapping for him tonight,
- 35:43Speaker 4: then I think you're nuts. Because MPJ it's such a
- 35:49Speaker 4: weird sort of story arc here because he's with the Nuggets.
- 35:53Speaker 4: I think a lot of Nuggets fans we live this
- 35:56Speaker 4: almost every game, thought that MPJA was disappointing to drop
- 36:01Speaker 4: a Sean Payton term relative to what he was being paid.
- 36:07Speaker 4: And I tried to remind people over and over again
- 36:10Speaker 4: that a third option on a championship level team averaging
- 36:12Speaker 4: eighteen points and seven boards, which he did his final
- 36:15Speaker 4: year here, is exactly like in line with what everybody
- 36:19Speaker 4: has done. And I pointed to Chris Bosh when he
- 36:22Speaker 4: was in Miami. Remember Chris Bosh was putting him like
- 36:24Speaker 4: twenty six a night when he was playing for Toronto.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Got to Miami, third option behind Lebron and d Wade,
- 36:29Speaker 4: he averaged eighteen and seven because the ball can only
- 36:31Speaker 4: go around to so many people. And now this year
- 36:35Speaker 4: he's averaging almost twenty six points a night because he's
- 36:38Speaker 4: a really good offensive talent who is now the marquee
- 36:41Speaker 4: guy for a bad team.
- 36:42Speaker 5: Nobody should be surprised by mpj's numbers. Nobody should because
- 36:47Speaker 5: we saw his ability to score when he was here.
- 36:49Speaker 5: But you know, he was in a system in which
- 36:51Speaker 5: you only had so many chances. You had to play
- 36:53Speaker 5: within the system. And it's funny because yesterday I did
- 36:56Speaker 5: one of those sit downs with Peyton Watson where we're
- 36:58Speaker 5: at the restaurant. We were stk and we sat there
- 37:00Speaker 5: for about an hour talking about things, and he brought
- 37:03Speaker 5: this up himself. He said to himself, he said, the
- 37:06Speaker 5: one thing about playing in the NBA and being a young,
- 37:10Speaker 5: developing hope to be star is patience. Ye, because patience
- 37:16Speaker 5: is everything. I mean, think about it. When you're drafted
- 37:19Speaker 5: by the Denver Nuggets, you have to be very patient
- 37:24Speaker 5: when it comes to attention, numbers, stats, notoriety because it's
- 37:30Speaker 5: not going to come as quickly as if you were
- 37:32Speaker 5: drafted by Charlotte or Brooklyn or those teams. When you
- 37:37Speaker 5: go to those teams, those teams suck, so young talent
- 37:41Speaker 5: is going to shine right away. Your wars are going
- 37:44Speaker 5: to shine right away. When you go to a championship
- 37:47Speaker 5: level team, you're going to sort of get stuck in
- 37:49Speaker 5: the numbers you got. It's a different deal. Patience is
- 37:53Speaker 5: going to be important. MPJ went through it, and now
- 37:56Speaker 5: Peyton Watson is going through the same thing.
- 38:00Speaker 4: By the way, the third option on the Nuggets right
- 38:02Speaker 4: now is probably Aaron Gordon. Now right when everybody's healthy,
- 38:06Speaker 4: you know what Aaron Gordon's averaging eighteen and seven, because
- 38:11Speaker 4: that's the third option, and with Porter, I want people
- 38:15Speaker 4: to like. I will remind people of this every opportunity
- 38:18Speaker 4: I get. No matter what you thought of him and
- 38:20Speaker 4: his game compared to what his salary was, I don't
- 38:25Speaker 4: think there was more of a team guy you could
- 38:27Speaker 4: ask for than Michael Porter Junior in his time here.
- 38:29Speaker 4: I really don't. I mean, how many times, Vicky, I
- 38:31Speaker 4: mean you do sidelines? How many times did? It was
- 38:34Speaker 4: late in the game and Michael Malone made the decision
- 38:37Speaker 4: to bench Porter for Bruce Brown or somebody at that
- 38:40Speaker 4: time to play some defense, and his response is always like, cool,
- 38:43Speaker 4: do it? Ultimate, team, dude. Ultimate.
- 38:47Speaker 5: There are certain trades, and there are a handful of
- 38:51Speaker 5: them where both sides benefit, and this was one of them.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Yeah, this was one of them.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Both sides benefits, and you nuggets.
- 38:59Speaker 4: You've barely even gotten any evidence of the guy that
- 39:02Speaker 4: you acquired him for. We know the stuff that followed
- 39:07Speaker 4: those guys, the Valentunis and Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway stuff.
- 39:11Speaker 4: We've barely seen Cam Johnson though barely. That's what's weird.
- 39:15Speaker 5: Well, what's interesting is the guy you traded him for
- 39:19Speaker 5: is probably so far the least productive of the guys
- 39:23Speaker 5: you got, and he's the centerpiece. Yeah, it's not even
- 39:27Speaker 5: probably it is, he's the least productive of the guys
- 39:30Speaker 5: you got.
- 39:30Speaker 2: In return.
- 39:32Speaker 4: What sucks the MOJ is that it felt like before
- 39:34Speaker 4: Cam Johnson got hurt, he was finally starting to find
- 39:37Speaker 4: his rhythm a little bit, he.
- 39:38Speaker 6: Will because he was getting he was getting more because
- 39:41Speaker 6: of the other injuries. He was becoming more and more
- 39:43Speaker 6: an option finding his way. Excuse me in a Denver
- 39:49Speaker 6: Nuggets system understanding it more. I mean, you're talking about
- 39:53Speaker 6: a guy who's coming to a completely different environment MP
- 39:56Speaker 6: Jake and his gun in Brooklyn. If he wants to,
- 39:58Speaker 6: they got twelve wins of the year. But if you're Cam,
- 40:00Speaker 6: you gotta come fit into what the Nuggets are doing.
- 40:03Speaker 6: And yeah, he finally was coming around and being that
- 40:07Speaker 6: guy and it was great, and then the injury happens. Vic,
- 40:10Speaker 6: you have to help me out here. Do they do
- 40:12Speaker 6: video tributes when guys come back in the NBA that.
- 40:15Speaker 5: Day, they will do one at the first time out today,
- 40:17Speaker 5: there will be a big video tribute for Michael Porter Junior,
- 40:20Speaker 5: trust me, and it's gonna make a lot of Nuggets
- 40:22Speaker 5: fans in attendance. Uh, you're gonna react emotionally, it's pretty cool.
- 40:26Speaker 6: Well, if they don't include a little shit to beg
- 40:28Speaker 6: Ja coblum in that, then I'm then then bets are off.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Oh we're gonna have to play it on the show
- 40:32Speaker 5: today in honor of Michael Porter.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Do you think you know? And the other thing? Wait?
- 40:37Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait wait question question? Is there anyone
- 40:42Speaker 2: you want? Is there anyone out there right now listening
- 40:46Speaker 2: to our program?
- 40:48Speaker 6: I find it hard to believe, but we have more
- 40:50Speaker 6: and more people coming to the program every day. Is
- 40:52Speaker 6: there anybody who doesn't know what we're talking about?
- 40:54Speaker 2: Brett?
- 40:56Speaker 5: I'm sure there are, Yeah, maybe a couple.
- 40:58Speaker 6: Really you think you think there are people in this
- 41:00Speaker 6: universe who have not been exposed to step back, Jacob Bloom,
- 41:04Speaker 6: you're kidding me.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Well, most we didn't get that that lab It was
- 41:07Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, So you're talking about four years ago.
- 41:10Speaker 4: When we No, no, it's twenty twenty one. Posts right,
- 41:14Speaker 4: Oh it's been five years.
- 41:16Speaker 2: You know what, stop our universe stop it. I know
- 41:19Speaker 2: the universe is expanding.
- 41:20Speaker 6: I know that our solar system, inside of our our
- 41:25Speaker 6: our galaxy are expanding. At a rate near the speed
- 41:29Speaker 6: I get all of that. But it can't be five years.
- 41:31Speaker 6: It can't be Brett.
- 41:32Speaker 2: It can't be. Now, that's an impossibility.
- 41:36Speaker 5: I know Brett's gonna be on the same page as me. Now,
- 41:38Speaker 5: do not play that song because Moser doesn't deserve it
- 41:42Speaker 5: after he went behind our back to record that crap
- 41:45Speaker 5: that they did on the av side country song. So
- 41:48Speaker 5: because he got greedy and decided, oh look at me,
- 41:52Speaker 5: I'm a singing talent, I'll go do this, we're not
- 41:54Speaker 5: playing that song.
- 42:01Speaker 4: I mean, Moses is here, he's in a band with
- 42:03Speaker 4: the Beatles, and he wants to go to a duet
- 42:06Speaker 4: with Yoko.
- 42:08Speaker 5: So guess what, because because you did that, because you
- 42:12Speaker 5: you went behind our backs, we're not going to.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Give you what you want. Most well, I just formed
- 42:18Speaker 2: a supergroup, you know, on the side, a big deal.
- 42:21Speaker 5: It's not a supergroup.
- 42:22Speaker 8: Well here, most like, maybe here's the way that we
- 42:24Speaker 8: that you can win us back. There's a highlight in
- 42:26Speaker 8: the beginning of the song, and the first player mentioned
- 42:29Speaker 8: in the highlight, the person passing the ball to MPG,
- 42:32Speaker 8: is set up his shot. What's the player that cause?
- 42:35Speaker 8: Mentions in Fernando compozzo, close compazzo. But yes he is
- 42:40Speaker 8: the first say you said, Fernando.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Fernando, I got windos on my mon I got a AB.
- 42:45Speaker 8: Was a great band. I love Fernando as much as
- 42:47Speaker 8: the next guy. But yes, Faku's in the highlight. Bro,
- 42:49Speaker 8: that's how long ago this.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Was real quick Monique chimes in, thank you, Monique.
- 42:56Speaker 6: Monique must be the anti Loretta, which is nice, says
- 42:59Speaker 6: my eight and eleven year olds randomly say yeah, ony.
- 43:03Speaker 5: On exactly, think about love.
- 43:06Speaker 2: I love that.
- 43:06Speaker 5: I want you to think about that. We produced that
- 43:09Speaker 5: song five years ago and it still resonates you. Guys
- 43:13Speaker 5: attempted to do some crap knockoff that nobody wants to
- 43:17Speaker 5: hear anymore, and you're telling me that we have to
- 43:21Speaker 5: acquiesce to you.
- 43:22Speaker 2: I mean, you blew it.
- 43:24Speaker 5: You went behind our backs.
- 43:25Speaker 2: You blew it.
- 43:26Speaker 5: So we're not doing that song until you apologize directly
- 43:29Speaker 5: to us for going behind our backs and playing that
- 43:32Speaker 5: game a sincere apology. Wow, you know, do you agree
- 43:37Speaker 5: with me?
- 43:38Speaker 2: And how.
- 43:41Speaker 5: Mute motion doesn't matter?
- 43:43Speaker 2: Mute him?
- 43:45Speaker 4: The guy just spent fifteen minutes going off on somebody
- 43:49Speaker 4: on the subject of what decorum exactly Lord just spent
- 43:54Speaker 4: fifteen minutes doing that. Hey, you need to honor the
- 43:57Speaker 4: person who got you to where you're at exactly. You
- 44:00Speaker 4: gotta acquiesce to him. This is something that's behind closed doors.
- 44:04Speaker 2: And what does he do?
- 44:06Speaker 4: No to coorn FROMOJE rules for THEE.
- 44:08Speaker 5: So once he apologizes a sincere apology, and I will
- 44:11Speaker 5: be the judge. If it's a sincere or not, then
- 44:13Speaker 5: we'll play it for those of you who don't get
- 44:15Speaker 5: to hear it orpen or that's your problem. You talked
- 44:17Speaker 5: to Moses about it. As for tonight's game, you know,
- 44:20Speaker 5: I know we're all gonna have fun with Michael Porter
- 44:22Speaker 5: Junior being back, and it's gonna be great for Nuggets fans.

- 44:34Speaker 5: starters again tonight. Four starters are out. You gotta win
- 44:39Speaker 5: this game. Brooklyn beat him last time in Brooklyn. Yeah,
- 44:42Speaker 5: that was one of the worst performances on that road trip.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 44:45Speaker 5: That was a game in which Do you remember That's
- 44:48Speaker 5: where coach Adalman said, we need a more professional approach.
- 44:52Speaker 5: Do you remember that? Yeah, So tonight, given the way
- 44:56Speaker 5: the schedule hardens and it does, gotta win this game.
