- 0:12Speaker 3: App First and Foremost Order in the Court. We found it.
- 0:25Speaker 4: It was in the podcast studio. I was about to
- 0:28Speaker 4: go nuclear, so.
- 0:29Speaker 5: D Mac took it. He's the only one who uses
- 0:31Speaker 5: that studio, and I haven't just.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Haven't bangs. Haven't banged the gavel in a long time anyway.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Uh so we do have it back now.
- 0:46Speaker 4: There is I mean, you mentioned this Chris Thomason's story
- 0:50Speaker 4: because he talked to Joe Lombardi.
- 0:51Speaker 3: It is The quote from Lombardi is an odd one.
- 0:56Speaker 3: I think it's it's weird.
- 0:58Speaker 5: But it gives you, gives you an inside look at
- 1:01Speaker 5: the relationship between these longtime Sean Payton assistance and Sean Payton.
- 1:06Speaker 1: And it's the same.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Type of relationship I think he has with bo Nix,
- 1:09Speaker 5: which is why I think it's.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Important to go down this road.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I wish that real quick. I wish that you that
- 1:16Speaker 2: all of us were interviewed separately by somebody. You want
- 1:22Speaker 2: to see some dynamics. Let's all get interviewed separately about
- 1:25Speaker 2: our show by somebody else. That's that's the wedding. I'm
- 1:30Speaker 2: setting that up. Go ahead, what are you talking? Well, oh,
- 1:36Speaker 2: you'll see talk about dynamics and talk about, you know,
- 1:40Speaker 2: how how relationships work. I'm setting it up.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about that you don't
- 1:46Speaker 1: have to All.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Right, cool? Moving on?
- 1:50Speaker 1: Where was I?
- 1:51Speaker 4: There's Thomason's article Relationship of Joe Lombardy and Sean Payton.
- 1:57Speaker 5: So Sean Payton fires Joe Lombardi and the news comes
- 2:01Speaker 5: down after his press conference, Chris Thomasin catches up with
- 2:05Speaker 5: Joe Lombardi. Quote, Sean decided to move on, and I
- 2:09Speaker 5: guess that's all there is to say. I don't think
- 2:12Speaker 5: it's ever a surprise in the NFL, not really.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I think you can.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Tell he Sean Payton was in one of those moods
- 2:19Speaker 5: where he felt like some changes needed to be made,
- 2:22Speaker 5: and I guess he decided.
- 2:24Speaker 1: One of those was me.
- 2:26Speaker 5: So I've been around long enough to kind of read
- 2:27Speaker 5: the tea leaves. I guess that right there is all
- 2:31Speaker 5: you need to know about long time Sean Payton assistants,
- 2:34Speaker 5: because there are many more on the team. By the way,
- 2:37Speaker 5: there's other guys on the team that have been around Sean.
- 2:39Speaker 5: He really is a moody dude. And if one day
- 2:43Speaker 5: he feels no, I need to make a change, the
- 2:46Speaker 5: next day he'll call him, Hey, you're back on. Wasn't
- 2:50Speaker 5: most remember the relationship George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin had
- 2:53Speaker 5: in New York.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Sure, he fired him three times.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and kept calling him back. It's the same thing.
- 3:00Speaker 1: This is who Sean Payton is.
- 3:02Speaker 5: I mean, this guy's basically telling you, yeah, we've been
- 3:05Speaker 5: down this road before.
- 3:07Speaker 1: You know, we lost the game.
- 3:08Speaker 5: Someone's gonna catch astray, and it's my turn to catch astray.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I'll go on.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Here's what Lombardi said when asked if he was made
- 3:16Speaker 5: the scapegoat quote, well, we made it to the AFC Championship.
- 3:20Speaker 5: I don't know why there needs to be a scapegoat,
- 3:22Speaker 5: So I'm not sure what I'm being scapegoated for. I
- 3:24Speaker 5: thought it was a good season, so no, I don't
- 3:26Speaker 5: feel like that in anyway. I just think Sean Payton
- 3:28Speaker 5: just wanted to go in another direction.
- 3:32Speaker 4: I think that that's very, very weird that he said
- 3:37Speaker 4: he fired me, because he was in one of those
- 3:39Speaker 4: moods doesn't seem like.
- 3:40Speaker 3: A very good reason.
- 3:43Speaker 4: Now, I have not been a fan of Joel Lombardi's
- 3:47Speaker 4: style of offensive football for a long time.
- 3:49Speaker 1: How do you know what it is?
- 3:50Speaker 5: Though he's been an offensive But if you have no
- 3:52Speaker 5: clue what Joel Lombardi is as.
- 3:54Speaker 3: He was the OC in Detroit, I know exactly what
- 3:56Speaker 3: it is.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Okay, what is?
- 3:57Speaker 4: It's very dank and dunk didnking Doug everywhere he goes.
- 4:01Speaker 4: It's just little drop offs here. There's not a lot
- 4:03Speaker 4: of tacking downfield like that's I don't like that style
- 4:07Speaker 4: of football. I think it's too hard to do over
- 4:09Speaker 4: the course of four quarters without making mistakes. Now I
- 4:13Speaker 4: don't know what he was doing in Denver.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I don't like it.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Feels like if you're the coordinator for somebody who's calling plays,
- 4:18Speaker 4: whether it's offense or defense, your job is to be
- 4:20Speaker 4: that guy's boy, right, it's to be his pal, go out,
- 4:24Speaker 4: help him with the game plan whatever he needs. You
- 4:26Speaker 4: kind of do this, do that for him. You're like
- 4:28Speaker 4: an assistant, like like an aid. But to fire somebody
- 4:34Speaker 4: because he was in one of those moods, like if
- 4:38Speaker 4: if RPD Kevin came up to me after the show
- 4:41Speaker 4: today and he fired me, And I mean, why am
- 4:44Speaker 4: I fired?
- 4:45Speaker 3: He's just like, I'm just in one of those can
- 4:49Speaker 3: you give me a reason doing something right?
- 4:51Speaker 2: You know?
- 4:52Speaker 1: But but this is the guys, this is what you
- 4:54Speaker 1: need to understand.
- 4:55Speaker 5: This is Sean Payton's reputation around the league that he's
- 4:59Speaker 5: died babolical like this. He's enigmatic, he's crazy, he does
- 5:02Speaker 5: things like this. Jay Gruden, John Gruden's brother, was also
- 5:07Speaker 5: interviewed by Chris Thominson in this article and he said, quote,
- 5:11Speaker 5: I hate the scapegoat.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Thing because to me, Sean is the one with the
- 5:16Speaker 1: play sheet.
- 5:17Speaker 5: He's the one putting the plays together, He's putting the
- 5:20Speaker 5: game plan together.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I don't think any coach should.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Be fired when they go to the AFC Championship game
- 5:24Speaker 5: with a backup quarterback and lose by three points based
- 5:27Speaker 5: on the decision the head coach made.
- 5:29Speaker 1: That's what bothers me. Court to Jay Gruden, it's true.
- 5:34Speaker 3: I mean, and again, I think your reasoning was.
- 5:40Speaker 4: More accurate after the press conference got done when you
- 5:43Speaker 4: said Vic that maybe he didn't like the way the
- 5:45Speaker 4: running game was being put together, and maybe that's something
- 5:47Speaker 4: that Lombardi had a hand in. But it is kind
- 5:50Speaker 4: of like, look, man, if they fired Vance Joseph because
- 5:54Speaker 4: the defense was bad, that would make sense because you're like,
- 5:56Speaker 4: you're calling the plays, you're in charge of it. It's stunk,
- 5:59Speaker 4: See you later. But I don't know what he does.
- 6:03Speaker 4: I don't know what Lombardy's.
- 6:05Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 6:06Speaker 5: Do you fire him because you didn't do enough to
- 6:08Speaker 5: help me or to change my mind or to.
- 6:10Speaker 1: What was it?
- 6:11Speaker 2: What?
- 6:12Speaker 5: I don't think we know because we don't know exactly
- 6:14Speaker 5: what his role was. Yeah, we know what his title was.
- 6:18Speaker 5: We know what Joe's Joe's title is OC, but what
- 6:21Speaker 5: was his role?
- 6:23Speaker 3: No, no, no idea. I mean most you're on the
- 6:27Speaker 3: decorum train today? Is this lack decorum?
- 6:31Speaker 2: No? I think it's I find it to be interesting.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Come in deal with Russy. People take their side. Mostly
- 6:40Speaker 2: Ruscott pummeled. I mean Russcott pummeled like that UFC guy
- 6:45Speaker 2: in the corner, just getting pummeled right.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Well, it is just kind of like when russ came
- 6:49Speaker 4: in here, it was a convenient thing of anything that went.
- 6:51Speaker 3: How about this, Yeah, when they.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Took me it's by the way, I'm tired of Peyton
- 6:57Speaker 2: bringing a packet anymore. It's four years ago, man, and
- 7:00Speaker 2: the four seasons. You go, enough of this crap. No
- 7:02Speaker 2: more Hacket. If I if I hear Nathaniel Hackett or
- 7:04Speaker 2: previous regime one more time, I'm gonna puke. Enough of
- 7:07Speaker 2: that crap.
- 7:08Speaker 4: From a straight pr standpoint, though, Russell Wilson's like the
- 7:11Speaker 4: best thing you could ask for when you got here,
- 7:14Speaker 4: and anything that went great, you were the genius that
- 7:16Speaker 4: turned it round.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Look at his face.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Look at his face, and anything that wom with that,
- 7:20Speaker 4: anything that went wrong, You're like, well look at this
- 7:23Speaker 4: dumb dumb right, what does it do with this?
- 7:26Speaker 2: I didn't bring this guy in. He's he's cooked any Okay,
- 7:31Speaker 2: but you see, then you get to the playoffs, then
- 7:34Speaker 2: you get to a number one see blah blah blah.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Look at these layers of the onions starting to be
- 7:38Speaker 2: peeled back one by one, you know, concerning this coach
- 7:44Speaker 2: shit is former o C. I would be fascinated to
- 7:48Speaker 2: hear an interview with the other two assistants just got
- 7:51Speaker 2: got I just got the ziggy. I'd be fascinated to
- 7:55Speaker 2: hear that. Then the quarterback situation, I mean you just
- 7:57Speaker 2: see this is not abnormal. I mean because again it's
- 8:01Speaker 2: pro sports, high ego, well, a lot of pressure, all that
- 8:04Speaker 2: kind of thing.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Well, he fired out.
- 8:05Speaker 5: Wide receivers coach because apparently he didn't have his thumbs
- 8:08Speaker 5: together when he caught passes.
- 8:09Speaker 2: That one.
- 8:09Speaker 3: That one actually makes sense though you almost led the
- 8:11Speaker 3: league in drops. That's a problem. Why did okay, why
- 8:14Speaker 3: don't the cornerbacks coach get fired?
- 8:17Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I'll tell you why you think?
- 8:21Speaker 5: There are a couple occasions when he walked in into
- 8:23Speaker 5: the corner coach and said, hey, why is Riley Moss
- 8:26Speaker 5: having all these pis?
- 8:27Speaker 1: Can we fix that?
- 8:28Speaker 2: Police? Okay, well that's how much of that it's on
- 8:31Speaker 2: Riley Moss. Hold on a second, Hold on a second.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you.
- 8:35Speaker 5: I'm just I'm giving you re See, we have reasons
- 8:38Speaker 5: to think why these people were fired. I still don't
- 8:41Speaker 5: know what Joe Lombardi did inside the intricacies of his
- 8:44Speaker 5: job to understand why.
- 8:45Speaker 3: He was let go.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton is not dropping balls because he's not keeping
- 8:49Speaker 2: his thumbs together. So this is just listened to. Would
- 8:53Speaker 2: you just listen to yourself talk, listen to your own
- 8:56Speaker 2: damn self for once instead of lah. So I'm not
- 8:59Speaker 2: talking about you Vicar or you Bret. I'm talking about just.
- 9:02Speaker 3: By I wish you were talking to vic Yeah.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Well you know what, Hey, hey, what about that the
- 9:07Speaker 2: touchdown you actually scored against the Buffalo Bills. Well Sutton
- 9:10Speaker 2: kept the stumps together on that play? I cry Well,
- 9:14Speaker 2: I almost said it for crying out loud? Can we
- 9:18Speaker 2: just be real about this for it's Yeah, maybe he's
- 9:21Speaker 2: in a mood, whatever it may be. I don't know.
- 9:25Speaker 2: But these layers are being peeled back one by one,
- 9:28Speaker 2: and there are some interesting dynamics like there always are
- 9:31Speaker 2: with these pro teams. There are dynamics that we don't
- 9:34Speaker 2: know about. Now we're getting exposed to them just a
- 9:36Speaker 2: little bit.
- 9:37Speaker 1: So then about it and take a step back. Think
- 9:39Speaker 1: about it.
- 9:40Speaker 5: The Denver Bronco's overachieved so much this year. They got
- 9:44Speaker 5: to the AFC title Game and they hosted it. The
- 9:46Speaker 5: overachieving is through one seed. How many overachieving one seeds.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Fire three offensive assistance after getting there? That's crazy.
- 9:54Speaker 3: It's two right, two and then a cornerback.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Corner three assistant coaches fired. That's what when you think
- 10:01Speaker 1: about it, that is pretty nuts.
- 10:03Speaker 4: A Texter says this, he goes, oh my gosh, I
- 10:05Speaker 4: head football coach in charge fired his assistance Oh it's
- 10:08Speaker 4: the end of the world. Doesn't Andy Reid do the
- 10:10Speaker 4: same thing in Kansas City? You know what, I don't
- 10:13Speaker 4: know what the rate of assistant coaches being fired for
- 10:16Speaker 4: successful seasons after successful seasons are, but I can.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Tell you this.
- 10:20Speaker 4: The weird thing about it is one of if one
- 10:24Speaker 4: of them came up to a reporter after he was
- 10:26Speaker 4: fired in Kansas City and he goes, yeah, Andy was
- 10:28Speaker 4: just in one of those moods and now I'm gone.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Wouldn't she be like, well, that's a weird thing to say.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Well, and the thing is, Lombardi was with Peyton in
- 10:37Speaker 2: before he went to the Chargers. He was with for
- 10:38Speaker 2: a long five years, Yeah, in New Orleans, or maybe
- 10:42Speaker 2: even longer than that. I think longer than that. So
- 10:46Speaker 2: he Yeah, he was with Sean Payton for a long time,
- 10:48Speaker 2: so we obviously knows him. Well, here's what I do know,
- 10:52Speaker 2: or at least what I think I know. The Broncos
- 10:58Speaker 2: are not not in the Super Bowl because of Lombardi
- 11:03Speaker 2: and the two other assistants. Okay, it's confluence of circumstances,
- 11:07Speaker 2: injured quarterback, you know, fourth down call, I mean, whatever
- 11:11Speaker 2: the case may be. I mean, it's just look, man,
- 11:15Speaker 2: well it's not my team started.
- 11:18Speaker 3: I mean, it's this is how simple it is.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I would but I would think starter in the AFC
- 11:23Speaker 4: Championship game and it snowed, you weren't going to score.
- 11:25Speaker 3: That's why you weren't in the super Bowl.
- 11:27Speaker 2: I would think with a team that was one quarter
- 11:30Speaker 2: away from a Super Bowl berth overachieving as a one seed,
- 11:34Speaker 2: you don't just go, you know what, we really we
- 11:36Speaker 2: have a bunch of screw ups here. Let's let's change something.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Do you think if they win the game, do you
- 11:40Speaker 5: think if they go to the super Bowl, Let's say
- 11:42Speaker 5: they lose the super Bowl, do you think these changes
- 11:43Speaker 5: are made?
- 11:44Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. You look at Buffalo, Sean McDermott
- 11:46Speaker 2: was gone. Whether he won or not.
- 11:47Speaker 5: That was six years though. But that was see, that's
- 11:50Speaker 5: that's that was a different deal. That that's that was coming.
- 11:53Speaker 5: You could feel that coming. This was sort of I.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Actually do I actually do if they won the super Bowl,
- 11:59Speaker 4: I maybe it's a little bit different, but you're right,
- 12:04Speaker 4: Teams that overachieve to the level the Broncos did. Were
- 12:08Speaker 4: we're the season was starting, We're like, gosh, can they
- 12:11Speaker 4: just compete for the AFC West? Can they can compete
- 12:14Speaker 4: just with Kansas City? And they were the best team
- 12:17Speaker 4: in the AFC. They were the best team in the league.
- 12:20Speaker 5: They hit record, pecked every box, they checked every box,
- 12:23Speaker 5: and then something.
- 12:24Speaker 3: But when that happens.
- 12:24Speaker 4: But when that happens, VIC, you lose coaches when that happens,
- 12:27Speaker 4: because they get hired in other places.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we just have to come to terms
- 12:31Speaker 5: with the capricious nature of Sean Payton. This is who
- 12:34Speaker 5: he is and this is what he does, and his
- 12:36Speaker 5: reputation preceded him, and everybody in the NFL knows that.
- 12:40Speaker 1: You know, oh well you're gonna get this with him. Yeah,
- 12:43Speaker 1: And I think that that's why I don't.
- 12:45Speaker 5: I don't sneeze at that whole Bowl and Sean Payton
- 12:48Speaker 5: press conference. Think it's just I think it's bo saying, yeah,
- 12:51Speaker 5: you guys know, Sean, he opened his mouth when didn't
- 12:53Speaker 5: you didn't have to.
- 12:54Speaker 1: So I don't think it's a big deal. I really don't.
- 12:57Speaker 3: I don't either.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm on the same page I tex you, says,
- 13:02Speaker 4: to be fair, you guys did complain about the offense
- 13:04Speaker 4: all year. I fully understand. That's why I'm not all
- 13:06Speaker 4: that surprised by that stuff. The cornerback one actually does
- 13:10Speaker 4: surprise me, like they were pretty damn good.
- 13:12Speaker 5: I thought we did complain about the offense, but the
- 13:15Speaker 5: complaint who organizes the offense.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Sean Payton.
- 13:22Speaker 3: He's not going to fire himself.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I just I just responded. I said, yeah, but it's
- 13:25Speaker 2: Peyton's offense, his play calling, Dave.
- 13:28Speaker 5: You know, firing, I think firing a guy who you
- 13:31Speaker 5: don't know, who's what role he had, would be like me,
- 13:34Speaker 5: I want to fire Mark Moser because his face forces
- 13:37Speaker 5: me to say things I don't want to say. His
- 13:39Speaker 5: face you fired, don't do me any favorites, jerk, But
- 13:45Speaker 5: you know what I mean, that's sort of the rationale here, Dude,
- 13:49Speaker 5: if anybody got fired because of their face, you would
- 13:52Speaker 5: have been gone in twenty nineteen.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Let's be honest about it.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Probably maybe that's it, if his job is just kind
- 14:00Speaker 4: of be Sean Payton's pal.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Maybe just got sick of them, it's tired of hanging
- 14:05Speaker 3: around him, Like maybe I don't.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Know even we need to even we need a break
- 14:11Speaker 2: from each other sometimes, and I'm gonna get a big
- 14:13Speaker 2: one in about a week, week and a half.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Most of you thought about your apology or no, well yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Yeah, Vicker's what I thought about it. I don't give
- 14:22Speaker 2: a rats flip and tail whether we play it or not.
- 14:25Speaker 2: You ain't getting.
- 14:25Speaker 1: Jack squad out of me, So you're not gonna apologize.
- 14:28Speaker 2: If if you want to punish the listeners because of
- 14:30Speaker 2: your ego, you go right ahead and do that.
- 14:32Speaker 1: It's not just Brett. Are you on the same page
- 14:34Speaker 1: he or is it just me?
- 14:36Speaker 3: I just like the back and forth I'm hearing you
- 14:39Speaker 3: guys today.
- 14:39Speaker 2: I like it.
- 14:40Speaker 5: Hey, hey, someone said, hey, powder haye powder Yeah, yeah,
- 14:46Speaker 5: get bent too.
- 14:47Speaker 2: You're you're not immune from this crap.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Took a whole second and a half of a pause
- 14:52Speaker 3: to say get bent.
- 14:53Speaker 1: To right right. Somebody's saying that I'm gonna say something
- 14:56Speaker 1: a lot worse.
- 14:57Speaker 2: But I'm I'm holding my tongue today because I'm colding
- 14:59Speaker 2: my ontreol.
- 15:00Speaker 5: A couple of people in the text line said, boy,
- 15:02Speaker 5: you guys sound very jealous of Moser and what he
- 15:05Speaker 5: produced with that wagon song.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Let me tell you some powder, you know enoughing about me?
- 15:11Speaker 5: If you think there's any hint of jealousy for that
- 15:13Speaker 5: trash they put out there into the into the blogg
- 15:17Speaker 5: Is Fear or whatever that podcast is, fear, I will
- 15:19Speaker 5: look that you think I'm jealous over that?
- 15:21Speaker 3: I have to toot my own horn. But did you
- 15:23Speaker 3: guys hear my rap verse in that song?
- 15:25Speaker 1: I mean, did you hear our our our song versus?
- 15:28Speaker 1: I mean, are you kidding me? Jealousy?
- 15:31Speaker 2: What it is?
- 15:32Speaker 1: It's sympathy, not jealousy, sympathy.

- 18:03Speaker 5: They're not gonna have Joker available. Those guys, so they're

- 18:11Speaker 5: We'll see if they show up on the injury report
- 18:13Speaker 5: for that one. But the way things stand, I don't
- 18:16Speaker 5: think Joker will be available for that game Sunday night
- 18:19Speaker 5: at this rate.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Well, they said reevaluated in a week. When was that
- 18:24Speaker 3: was that Monday?
- 18:25Speaker 1: That was on Tuesday?
- 18:26Speaker 3: Tuesday or Tuesday? Yeah, so probably not.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Now, going back to the ash from last night, here's
- 18:35Speaker 4: what my sort of I guess synopsis of that was.
- 18:40Speaker 3: They're done.
- 18:41Speaker 4: They just want this break to get here. They're tired
- 18:43Speaker 4: of it. They want whatever that is, three weeks what
- 18:47Speaker 4: is it, most three weeks off something like that. They
- 18:50Speaker 4: can see it. They've played really good hockey this year.
- 18:53Speaker 4: They got a few guys banged up, but they just
- 18:56Speaker 4: had nothing last night. Don't believe me. Listen to the coach.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Yeah, flat, almost the whole team.
- 19:02Speaker 2: I can't.
- 19:03Speaker 4: I don't want to group everyone into that because it's
- 19:06Speaker 4: not accurate, but the bulk of our team flat. There
- 19:10Speaker 4: is no scenario in which the Abs midway through a
- 19:13Speaker 4: hockey game, at the halfway point of it, have six
- 19:15Speaker 4: shots on goal.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Not in the history of not in the history of mankind.
- 19:20Speaker 2: In fact, well, they had eight shots bread through two.
- 19:23Speaker 2: It was eight total, and I pat the stat sent
- 19:28Speaker 2: it to me. It's the least amount of shots they'd
- 19:31Speaker 2: had in it through two periods and over two years,
- 19:36Speaker 2: and the previous load this season was sixteen. Yeah, so
- 19:39Speaker 2: it just shows you that everything was just off. If
- 19:42Speaker 2: you look, they're a really good team in the back
- 19:45Speaker 2: to back. They were five to one and one in
- 19:47Speaker 2: game number two, of four to one and two in
- 19:49Speaker 2: I mean game number one, four to one and two
- 19:51Speaker 2: in game number two. Tonight's the second of the back
- 19:53Speaker 2: to back. They should be motivated. They're gonna be wearing
- 19:56Speaker 2: obviously the Quebec Nordice sweaters. But you're in Montreal, I mean,
- 20:00Speaker 2: you're at the Bell Center here. They're gonna be fired
- 20:03Speaker 2: up to play you. You need to be fired up
- 20:05Speaker 2: to play them.
- 20:06Speaker 1: That's a good point.
- 20:07Speaker 5: On top of that, you know it was Ottawa team
- 20:09Speaker 5: that you disassembled the last time you played them.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You know it's not a top notch team.
- 20:14Speaker 2: But it's just here's what you're gonna get, buddy, You're
- 20:19Speaker 2: gonna get as you get further on here. I mean,
- 20:22Speaker 2: look these last couple of games before the break, but
- 20:24Speaker 2: certainly coming out of the break, you play five in
- 20:28Speaker 2: seven coming out of the Olympic break, you're gonna be
- 20:31Speaker 2: hitting some desperate teams, either for position or just to
- 20:34Speaker 2: get in like Utah. And then of course you're gonna
- 20:38Speaker 2: you're gonna square up against Minnesota. La Is gonna be desperate.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Annaheim's gonna be desperate. You're gonna go to Dallas, then
- 20:45Speaker 2: you get Mini again. I mean, these teams are gonna
- 20:48Speaker 2: be garnering position or fighting for a position, or just
- 20:51Speaker 2: like last night Ottawa, they gotta go now. If they
- 20:54Speaker 2: don't go now, they are not gonna be able to
- 20:57Speaker 2: battle for a playoff spot. So they know that, and
- 20:59Speaker 2: they played very hard and very stingy last night.
- 21:02Speaker 5: So the remaining schedule before the break Montreal tonight, then
- 21:05Speaker 5: two against Detroit, one in Detroit, then at home on Monday,
- 21:09Speaker 5: and the final before the break is San Jose next
- 21:12Speaker 5: Wednesday night. So those games, those final four cannot get
- 21:16Speaker 5: here and be played soon.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Enough, that is correct.
- 21:20Speaker 1: The how many is it three weeks off? Exactly? Three
- 21:24Speaker 1: weeks off for the break.
- 21:26Speaker 2: The next game will be on the twenty fifth, So
- 21:28Speaker 2: the fourth through the twenty fifth, yeah, twenty one weeks. Yeah,
- 21:31Speaker 2: but again the freeze, the actual freeze is the fourth
- 21:36Speaker 2: through the twenty second.
- 21:38Speaker 1: All right, So the guys who are playing in the Olympics,
- 21:40Speaker 1: clearly they're going to be doing. Everybody else is just
- 21:43Speaker 1: vacation time. They just take off.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Suh. Yeah, Brud, give me your favorite Dug, give me
- 21:51Speaker 2: your favorite.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Child, because that's you know what this is not being
- 21:55Speaker 1: talked about. The teams that are gonna be able.
- 22:00Speaker 5: To get it back together again and continue on whatever
- 22:03Speaker 5: pace they had.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Before the break. That's a long time off. It's a restart.
- 22:08Speaker 5: Oh it's it's it's more than a restart. That's a
- 22:11Speaker 5: that's gonna be important. Those ramp up days leading up
- 22:13Speaker 5: to that first game back, those are gonna be vital.
- 22:15Speaker 3: By the way, just quickly, because I had Nelly got
- 22:18Speaker 3: this up for me. This was me watching the Avs
- 22:21Speaker 3: game last night.
- 22:22Speaker 4: If you guys remember in the Hangover when Chow is
- 22:25Speaker 4: singing the Hurt song by Johnny Cash.
- 22:29Speaker 3: This was me watching the Avs.
- 22:36Speaker 1: What am I watching?
- 22:41Speaker 2: I was just like, what is this?
- 22:43Speaker 3: This is not the Avalanche team.
- 22:45Speaker 4: It was like watching them sing Hurt by Johnny Cash
- 22:48Speaker 4: for three straight periods.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it did, certainly, it certainly did not look like
- 22:53Speaker 2: the Avs that we know. I mean, finally it started
- 22:56Speaker 2: to bretton that third period. It did, but by that
- 22:59Speaker 2: point it's in a little too little, too late. His
- 23:01Speaker 2: room made a great play. You know, they the guys
- 23:06Speaker 2: got behind the abs a little bit black would actually
- 23:08Speaker 2: save their bacon on more than one occasion. You know,
- 23:11Speaker 2: a couple of breakaways, a couple two on one is
- 23:14Speaker 2: that kind of thing.
- 23:15Speaker 5: The other thing I find interesting is in the second
- 23:18Speaker 5: half of the season, it's gonna play itself out.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Who's goalie won on this team?
- 23:25Speaker 2: Well, I think it's Mackenzie Blackwood, is it? But it
- 23:29Speaker 2: could be But it could be Scott Wedgwood. I mean,
- 23:31Speaker 2: I think Jared Bedner will tell you who's ever playing
- 23:33Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, they're both under contract and they're both
- 23:35Speaker 2: really good. He was I thought he was. He gave
- 23:39Speaker 2: up three, but I thought he was fine. I mean,
- 23:41Speaker 2: I thought it was more than He made.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Some huge saves though, huge, big.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Big, big saves. The Abs were gonna win that game.
- 23:48Speaker 2: And he's got to find that rhythm because he's been
- 23:50Speaker 2: in and out of the line. If you heard him
- 23:51Speaker 2: the other night we talked to him, He's like, it
- 23:54Speaker 2: totally sucks because I can't. You know, you want to
- 23:57Speaker 2: get in and you want to get your rhythm going.
- 23:58Speaker 2: He's like, but I'm in and I got this injury.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Nobody's more frustrated than he is. So yeah, it stakes Hey.
- 24:04Speaker 4: By the way, uh quick a side here. I'm gonna
- 24:07Speaker 4: play a piece of audio and then I'm going to
- 24:12Speaker 4: put it up to a straw poll.
- 24:13Speaker 1: So hang with me.
- 24:15Speaker 3: This is a former Denver athlete, beloved athlete, not Michael
- 24:19Speaker 3: Porter Jr. It said this the other day. Next year,
- 24:23Speaker 3: this Denver Broncos team is gonna be scared.
- 24:25Speaker 1: And I think that's where you enter Von Miller.
- 24:27Speaker 5: If you win a Super Bowl in two different eras,
- 24:29Speaker 5: that'd be these other crazy.
- 24:31Speaker 2: You know, I'm not throwing anybody under the bus.
- 24:32Speaker 5: But that play at the end of the game where
- 24:35Speaker 5: Drake may rolled out but a blue legg and got
- 24:37Speaker 5: the first down, I think makes it play.
- 24:40Speaker 3: I think fingers ain't nobody I'm I'm just saying me.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I'm just saying me. I make that play.
- 24:45Speaker 5: Wait and maybe the Broncos get another chance at the
- 24:47Speaker 5: ball when Vum makes that say, everybody goes.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Great, straw.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Take the temperature of the room, yes or no? Would
- 25:01Speaker 3: you want Von back?
- 25:02Speaker 2: Now? I love There's no point, No, I love him
- 25:04Speaker 2: to no. No is he is he pulling a Ricky
- 25:07Speaker 2: Henderson there by the way, Yes he is. Yeah.
- 25:09Speaker 1: It was a lot of He's on his own podcast
- 25:12Speaker 1: talking about himself.
- 25:13Speaker 5: In the third person, and by not trying to criticize
- 25:17Speaker 5: a player, he criticized the player.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like, don't like how I he was
- 25:21Speaker 4: throwing Jonahlis under the bus, number one, number two, and
- 25:25Speaker 4: keep those coming in.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Yes or no?
- 25:26Speaker 4: Would you want von back? I just want to see
- 25:28Speaker 4: where people are at. The reason I say no to this,
- 25:33Speaker 4: like I always kind of judge this when things pull
- 25:35Speaker 4: out your heart strings and you get nostalgic about, you
- 25:37Speaker 4: know what, what things used to be.
- 25:40Speaker 3: You have to give me this answer.
- 25:43Speaker 4: And to be fair, Vaughn had nine sacks last year.
- 25:46Speaker 4: It's not like he wasn't producing. He had nine sacks.
- 25:49Speaker 4: But if von Miller wasn't a former Bronco, beloved, former Bronco,
- 25:52Speaker 4: one of the greatest players of all time, would you
- 25:54Speaker 4: want von Miller on this team?
- 25:56Speaker 3: That's how you have to view this.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It's not a position of need, that's the thing.
- 26:01Speaker 5: And I have a maybe you were a receiver or
- 26:04Speaker 5: a tight end or a running back, and then I'd
- 26:06Speaker 5: be okay, let's talk about it.
- 26:07Speaker 1: But it's not a position of need right now. It's
- 26:10Speaker 1: a it's a luxury item.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Here's the thing, but just just quickly, here motion, let
- 26:14Speaker 4: me get this out. Get this out, because you can
- 26:18Speaker 4: never have enough pass rushers. And understand that. I have
- 26:22Speaker 4: a bigger concern of like, is Vaughn gonna come in
- 26:25Speaker 4: here and try and be a leader type?
- 26:27Speaker 3: They they got that under control. They're fine. I think
- 26:30Speaker 3: you need people to fit.
- 26:31Speaker 4: In now instead of try and create their own thing.
- 26:35Speaker 4: They have a working machine right now that was very
- 26:39Speaker 4: very good this last year. But if you eliminate nostalgia
- 26:43Speaker 4: from the discussion, would you be wanting this to happen?
- 26:45Speaker 2: Yes or no?
- 26:46Speaker 3: And I think most people's answer is no, Yeah, go ahead, motion.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Would you like an analogy? Okay, I've had three pickup
- 26:52Speaker 2: trucks in my life, and every time I sold that truck,
- 26:57Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man, like the truck driving away and
- 27:00Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, I want a truck, you know what
- 27:02Speaker 2: I mean? Like, because if you don't have a truck,
- 27:05Speaker 2: you need a truck. You really need a truck. Right.
- 27:07Speaker 2: It feels to me like the Dave von god dealt
- 27:11Speaker 2: driving out of the parking lot. Vic. You remember that
- 27:12Speaker 2: day's trying in his rig. Remember, Yeah, Like since that day,
- 27:16Speaker 2: he's wanted to be a Bronco again. Since since his
- 27:19Speaker 2: tires left the parking lot at Dove Valley. He's like,
- 27:22Speaker 2: I want to be a Bronco, So this doesn't surprise
- 27:25Speaker 2: me at all. It's just not a position of need.
- 27:26Speaker 2: And I love von Miller, I really do. I just don't.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I don't know where he would fit on this squad.
- 27:32Speaker 2: And you're telling me that Vaughn would a truck down
- 27:34Speaker 2: drake me on the on the naked boot.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I don't know you, And let me end the argument.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Even if he does. Let's say he reads the play
- 27:40Speaker 1: and he tracks him down for a loss of three.
- 27:43Speaker 2: So what.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Then?
- 27:46Speaker 2: What then?
- 27:47Speaker 1: What happens? Well, you gotta get the ball back and
- 27:49Speaker 1: move the ball. Have they been able to move the
- 27:51Speaker 1: ball at all?
- 27:52Speaker 3: That would have forced a punt?
- 27:53Speaker 4: But okay, and then what Yeah, he would have to
- 27:56Speaker 4: go down and I wouldn't give you That's what I'm
- 27:58Speaker 4: getting at.
- 27:58Speaker 1: He would be giving you a shot, okay, But it
- 28:00Speaker 1: doesn't solve the problem. The needs of the team, the needs?
- 28:04Speaker 1: What are the needs? Yeah?
- 28:06Speaker 4: You know what's really weird about this too? And maybe
- 28:10Speaker 4: this can tell you something. Do you guys value George
- 28:12Speaker 4: Payton's ability to evaluate talent?
- 28:16Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 28:17Speaker 1: I think he's earned as much.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Yes.
- 28:20Speaker 4: For two straight years, Von Miller has been John Cuzac
- 28:22Speaker 4: and say anything just outside the facility with the boombox,
- 28:26Speaker 4: and they've just kept the door shut. He has been
- 28:30Speaker 4: begging to come back here for multiple years now, and
- 28:33Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, I think we're good for me.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Let me give you a little insight too.
- 28:38Speaker 5: So Sean Payton has already chased away vocal players like
- 28:41Speaker 5: guys who go outside the box and yeah, very vocal.
- 28:44Speaker 5: Do you think he's going to listen to a dude
- 28:46Speaker 5: on his own podcast to out the fact that he
- 28:48Speaker 5: could have made a play and going to say to
- 28:50Speaker 5: that dude, oh yeah, we want some of that here.
- 28:52Speaker 1: What happened?
- 28:53Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I just was talking about.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Though.
- 28:55Speaker 4: It's like there's a personality fit thing that maybe worked
- 28:59Speaker 4: for Vaughn you know ten years ago, that doesn't I
- 29:02Speaker 4: don't think.
- 29:02Speaker 3: It would work now.
- 29:04Speaker 5: Don't ain't gonna happen. Hey, So you know of the
- 29:07Speaker 5: free agents that are veil we didn't even bring this up.
- 29:11Speaker 5: Who's gonna play linebacker for the Broncos next year?
- 29:14Speaker 2: I don't know they're gonna sign Singleton, the leading tackler.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Singleton said this would be the richest player ever.
- 29:21Speaker 4: Right, we have a lot of free wrestling money, right,
- 29:24Speaker 4: I'll take I'll figure it out from there.
- 29:27Speaker 2: No, yeah, I want to be back here, you know.
- 29:29Speaker 2: I help Vj's back first, and then you know, just
- 29:31Speaker 2: more so I mean our defense.
- 29:33Speaker 5: Hey, yeah, he wants to be back, you know, regarding
- 29:35Speaker 5: the VJ thing. Let's let's just bring this up right now.
- 29:39Speaker 5: Vance Joseph is going to be the Broncos defensive coordinator
- 29:42Speaker 5: next year. I think that window of opportunity, judging on
- 29:45Speaker 5: all the coaching candidates, yea, all the jobs being filled,
- 29:49Speaker 5: that's gone, right.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Would he would have been gone by now, he would
- 29:52Speaker 2: have been gone by now, got a job or he
- 29:54Speaker 2: wanted a job.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's gone.
- 29:56Speaker 5: So Vance Joseph will be your DC next year unless
- 30:00Speaker 5: has one of those days or one of those moods.
- 30:02Speaker 3: Unless he's in a mood.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:04Speaker 7: So.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Jim Leonard now is.
- 30:06Speaker 5: By the way, the Baltimore Ravens have requested permission to
- 30:09Speaker 5: interview Jim Leonard for their DC job.
- 30:11Speaker 1: He's also up for the job in LA for the Chargers.
- 30:14Speaker 1: So you got probably gonna lose a Jim Leonard.
- 30:16Speaker 2: No, the Chargers just hired somebody chrys Oh okay for
- 30:20Speaker 2: their d C at its Michigan.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha?
- 30:23Speaker 2: Hey, uh hey uh can I should I be bon
- 30:26Speaker 2: for a second like this? Yeah? So yeah. And like
- 30:30Speaker 2: I'm not saying that these guys aren't good, but if
- 30:32Speaker 2: Moses calling the Olympics man over in Milan, Italy, people
- 30:34Speaker 2: like yeah, mo, yeah, oh keep calling that game, baby,
- 30:39Speaker 2: Yeah listen, I'm just saying that I would have called
- 30:41Speaker 2: a really good goal at that time. That's all I'm saying.
- 30:44Speaker 2: You know, if Team USA beats Canada, you know, like
- 30:47Speaker 2: in the final and like paper, yeah, Mos, you called
- 30:50Speaker 2: the hell out of that game, I think I'd be
- 30:52Speaker 2: really I think old Moe should be really good at that.
- 30:56Speaker 4: A texture actually pointed this out, and it's kind of
- 30:58Speaker 4: my point. I I referenced this in the appetizer regarding Vaughn.
- 31:03Speaker 4: So Vaughan is the former Bronco, former Denver guy who
- 31:06Speaker 4: obviously loves it here as most do, and wants to
- 31:08Speaker 4: come back, especially with the team that's good. And the
- 31:12Speaker 4: Texter says Bruce Brown did the same thing, and I said,
- 31:14Speaker 4: absolutely right now, Bruce Brown, I think was another one
- 31:17Speaker 4: of those nostalgist type of things. He comes back to
- 31:19Speaker 4: be like, dude, this is amazing. And I asked the
- 31:22Speaker 4: question before the season started. I go, is nobody like
- 31:25Speaker 4: a little bit curious as to why three teams passed on.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Him in two years?
- 31:29Speaker 3: And I think we can all admit Bruce has been fine.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Has he been what you thought he would be?
- 31:35Speaker 1: He's not what he was when he was here. But
- 31:37Speaker 1: he also understands.
- 31:39Speaker 2: You know.
- 31:39Speaker 5: It's funny because I spoke to him in the locker
- 31:40Speaker 5: room after the last game. He had a great game
- 31:42Speaker 5: in the last game.
- 31:42Speaker 1: This he was lost in that. He looked really he did.
- 31:44Speaker 2: He was going to the hole.
- 31:45Speaker 5: He was the only guy that was effective going to
- 31:47Speaker 5: the hole. And he said as much. I gotta I
- 31:49Speaker 5: gotta fix my jumper. And I think that's the missing
- 31:52Speaker 5: piece right now. He's not confident shooting.
- 31:54Speaker 3: He would knock down threes consistently.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Yea, his first he knows it. He's got to fix that,
- 31:59Speaker 1: and he does. I think.
- 32:01Speaker 5: I think because Bruce is still active defensively, I still
- 32:06Speaker 5: love it.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Yeah, he can fix that. You'll see the Bruce.
- 32:10Speaker 3: That's that's what I was asking.
- 32:11Speaker 4: I was like, everybody is pumped about the Bruce sning.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Iowas too, but I'm like, nobody's curious as to why
- 32:18Speaker 4: three different teams are like, no, thank you.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Okay, get me to the postseason. Get me to the
- 32:24Speaker 2: the Bruce Wi b that I know when it really
- 32:27Speaker 2: matters where you could face elimination, then I'm all in
- 32:31Speaker 2: because his tenacity.
- 32:32Speaker 1: He's a dog.
- 32:33Speaker 2: His attitude. Yeah, it is going to it's gonna make
- 32:37Speaker 2: a difference. No, mo two game crap, it's eighty two
- 32:39Speaker 2: game stuff. Now we're beyond that. Man, Get me to
- 32:42Speaker 2: the post season. You bring up a good game. I'm
- 32:45Speaker 2: in Montreal, Vick, give me to his post season.
- 32:48Speaker 1: We have three months to talk this, talk this out.
- 32:52Speaker 5: I am very eager to find out who makes the
- 32:54Speaker 5: Nuggets playoff rotation, because that job became a lot harder
- 32:58Speaker 5: over what we've seen the last two week.
- 33:01Speaker 4: One lass reminder for this hour, the keyword is binder
- 33:05Speaker 4: with a B. What we're saying finder earlier. I don't
- 33:08Speaker 4: know how much Binder like sort sorting things. Binders. So
- 33:13Speaker 4: text set in the first last name to three O
- 33:14Speaker 4: three five O four nine two five get a chance
- 33:17Speaker 4: to go to that Clippers game tomorrow at Ballerina. Yeah, Nelly,
- 33:19Speaker 4: I don't get the binder thing with the clippers?
- 33:21Speaker 2: What is that? What is it?
- 33:22Speaker 3: What's the reference here?
- 33:23Speaker 6: Help me look at look at the keywords so far
- 33:25Speaker 6: it is things you clip. We had hair clips, movie clips,
- 33:31Speaker 6: binder clips.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Uh, okay, all right, stings.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Clips not clippers.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Got you lame.
- 33:40Speaker 6: So maybe the keyword should have been aspiration trees. Yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 6: fraud the keyword scam.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Maybe the keyword should have been dork.
- 33:49Speaker 3: It could have worked.
- 33:50Speaker 4: Uh anyway, three O three, five O four, nine to five.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Jeff Legwald, you know what first question out of the
- 33:55Speaker 4: gates for leg at nine o'clock.
- 33:58Speaker 3: What did Joe Lombardi do?

- 34:03Speaker 3: We'll get to that in just what did he do
- 34:05Speaker 3: for his job?
- 34:06Speaker 2: And what did you do to get fired? That's the question.

- 34:54Speaker 7: No.
- 34:54Speaker 5: No, every single thing I do next week will be
- 34:56Speaker 5: in San Francisco at the Moscone Convention Center, which is
- 34:59Speaker 5: in San f Zisco. Every single thing. The Pro Bowl,
- 35:02Speaker 5: by the way, will be played on Tuesday. We applied
- 35:04Speaker 5: for credentials and we were denied, And I said, what
- 35:08Speaker 5: are you doing? We have six Broncos in the Pro Bowl.
- 35:10Speaker 5: They're playing the Pro Bowl flag football game in the
- 35:13Speaker 5: Convention Center.
- 35:16Speaker 2: What so wait, they denied you credentials to go and
- 35:20Speaker 2: cover something that nobody gives a rat's rip about. Anyway.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, okay, tonight, Oh hey, could I.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Get credentials to the Pro Bowl Monopoly game? Nope? Sorry, denied.
- 35:33Speaker 1: So right now I'm trying to parse out how many
- 35:36Speaker 1: wigs I'm taking with me, and which ones?
- 35:38Speaker 2: You know what, man, take them all, and you know what,
- 35:41Speaker 2: go poses somebody else. They denied you credentials to the
- 35:44Speaker 2: Pro Bowl.
- 35:45Speaker 1: And it fel is so weird about stuff like that.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Check good god a you know what, dude, I've had
- 35:50Speaker 2: about it, Brett. I'm I'm at my wits end already
- 35:54Speaker 2: here this morning. I just look out the window. It's
- 35:56Speaker 2: snowing up. Still. It means the wind is blown, it's
- 35:59Speaker 2: snowing up. I'm about my wits end. But being denied
- 36:02Speaker 2: credentials to the Pro Bowl, it's like the dumbest thing
- 36:05Speaker 2: I've ever heard from to buy your life.
- 36:08Speaker 3: What a bummer.
- 36:09Speaker 6: Vic's one of the only people that actually voluntarily is
- 36:11Speaker 6: asking to attend.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Exactly it's exactly right, doing you a favor. I was like, hey,
- 36:15Speaker 1: I know that you guys can't give these away.
- 36:17Speaker 2: I'll I'll go, oh sorry, I guarantee you people people
- 36:22Speaker 2: who are forced to cover the Pro Bowl would rather
- 36:24Speaker 2: be amputated.
- 36:27Speaker 3: You guys want to see the separation.
- 36:28Speaker 2: It's just so ridiculous of the position your.
- 36:31Speaker 4: Team is in as opposed to where it could be
- 36:34Speaker 4: could be. You got a really, really, really great ownership group.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Here Walton Penner's are I think as good an A
- 36:43Speaker 4: plus plus plus plus as far as what you could
- 36:46Speaker 4: hope for. Like here's Greg Penner yesterday on involvement in
- 36:51Speaker 4: football decisions.
- 36:52Speaker 7: My style is more to probe and ask lots of questions,
- 36:57Speaker 7: trying not to be in a position of needing to
- 37:00Speaker 7: make any final decisions on type of football decisions. But
- 37:03Speaker 7: we've got an open dialogue. I talk to those guys
- 37:07Speaker 7: every day. If we've got a critical decision we're making,
- 37:09Speaker 7: we're gonna talk about it. But you know, if the
- 37:11Speaker 7: two of them agree on something and recommend it, be
- 37:14Speaker 7: pretty unlikely that I'd ever overrule that.
- 37:17Speaker 3: That's what you want to hear from your owner.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Hey man, I'm just here to ask what's going on,
- 37:22Speaker 4: and if you two are in agreement on something, then
- 37:24Speaker 4: I'm just going to back off and let you guys
- 37:26Speaker 4: do your thing because I don't know football. You guys do,
- 37:28Speaker 4: and that's why I hired you. That's how an owner
- 37:31Speaker 4: should conduct himself.
- 37:33Speaker 2: And then you hired them to do a job. You know,
- 37:38Speaker 2: real quick, Brett, I want you to finish, But I
- 37:41Speaker 2: want to remind everybody that the one pinner group. I
- 37:43Speaker 2: didn't really know jack about the NFL and you know,
- 37:46Speaker 2: the ins and outs of daily ownership stuff until they
- 37:49Speaker 2: got in and they went through a fire hose type
- 37:52Speaker 2: of situation. They've got a pretty damn good handle on
- 37:55Speaker 2: it now. I really do. I feel very confident in
- 37:57Speaker 2: this group. Go ahead, could be this.
- 38:00Speaker 3: This is Tony Grossie on ESPN Cleveland.
- 38:02Speaker 8: My initial reaction is holy cow. My second reaction is
- 38:08Speaker 8: is Schwartz the DC or not? That would help me
- 38:11Speaker 8: accept it. If he's not, you're gonna get an offense
- 38:15Speaker 8: coordinator and a defensive coordinator off the grid that we
- 38:18Speaker 8: haven't been talking about. So let's see how the dust settles.
- 38:22Speaker 8: But this indicates that Haslam was never comfortable with Shieldhouse
- 38:27Speaker 8: and he went against the recommendation of his search committee
- 38:30Speaker 8: leader in GM, So you got to wonder about the
- 38:32Speaker 8: future of Andrew Berry. They chose offense over defense, and
- 38:36Speaker 8: they weren't comfortable with Shielhouse.
- 38:38Speaker 3: So this is all on has This is what he's
- 38:42Speaker 3: getting at.
- 38:44Speaker 4: The search committee that was hired to find a new
- 38:46Speaker 4: head coach for the Cleveland Browns and their GM that
- 38:48Speaker 4: he retained after firing their last head coach. Both said
- 38:52Speaker 4: Shieldhouse is the guy that we need to go get
- 38:54Speaker 4: out of LA and Jimmy Haslam goes, no, I'm hiring
- 38:59Speaker 4: top Monken, which at that point, what's the purpose of
- 39:03Speaker 4: even having people around you?
- 39:05Speaker 2: What is it?
- 39:07Speaker 4: And Haslam you know if you guys don't know, Jim
- 39:09Speaker 4: Schwartz is a pretty respected DC. I guess he was
- 39:12Speaker 4: so upset with how they went about stringing him along
- 39:15Speaker 4: for this head coaching gig. He goes, I'm not sticking
- 39:16Speaker 4: around here.
- 39:17Speaker 2: I'm gone.
- 39:18Speaker 3: He's gonna leave.
- 39:18Speaker 2: That's a mess.
- 39:20Speaker 3: That's what ownership could look like.
- 39:22Speaker 5: By the way, that's what Garrett Miles. Garrett just didn't.
- 39:25Speaker 5: He just put out a I want to be traded
- 39:27Speaker 5: every question.
- 39:27Speaker 3: I think that's fake. I think that was from last year.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, but who knows.
- 39:32Speaker 3: I mean, he very well could.
- 39:34Speaker 4: Isn't that just crazy though, to think about where your
- 39:36Speaker 4: ownership's at, where your guy just said, Hey, if these
- 39:40Speaker 4: two dudes want to do something, I'm on board, and
- 39:43Speaker 4: this one said everybody told me to make the other choice.
- 39:46Speaker 3: But I'm in charge. Here's what we're doing.
- 39:49Speaker 1: It's stupid, is.
- 39:50Speaker 2: What it is.
- 39:52Speaker 5: Look look at the last two organizations still looking for
- 39:54Speaker 5: head coaches.
- 39:55Speaker 1: What are they?
- 39:57Speaker 3: The Raiders and the Browns, the Raiders and the Cardinals.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and you know a lot of that comes
- 40:05Speaker 1: from ownership.
- 40:08Speaker 4: Yeah, from the top. Yes, it's always what it is.
- 40:15Speaker 4: So we'll talk to Jeff Leagwall in a couple of minutes.
- 40:18Speaker 6: One last way, Leggie is live from the Senior Bowl
- 40:21Speaker 6: in Greenbow, Alabama. All right, he'll be giving us his observations.
- 40:26Speaker 1: To discuss with Leggy about this Hall of Fame, the Shenanigans.
- 40:30Speaker 4: I think he's gonna tell you. I think he's gonna
- 40:32Speaker 4: tell you. He can't say anything. Remember, he can't.
- 40:35Speaker 3: He's not allowed to say anything until the results are out.
- 40:37Speaker 5: Oh I know, I know, But I mean the Hall
- 40:39Speaker 5: of Fame, the curator of the Pro Football Hall. Ye
- 40:42Speaker 5: issue to press release yesterday saying we're going to do
- 40:45Speaker 5: some things.
- 40:45Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. So we're just curious.
- 40:47Speaker 4: We'll talk to about that, along with the the decisions
- 40:52Speaker 4: to let go some coaches, including Joe Lombardi. I got
- 40:54Speaker 4: one more piece of audio. I want to play you
- 40:56Speaker 4: guys though. You guys remember very very good player, the
- 40:59Speaker 4: honey Tyron Matthew Right.
- 41:01Speaker 1: I loved his game, So if you remember early in.
- 41:04Speaker 4: His career, even dating back to when he was at LSU,
- 41:06Speaker 4: he had a lot of weed problems. He kept getting
- 41:09Speaker 4: popped with drug tests that always came up positive. He
- 41:11Speaker 4: got suspended, all that different stuff, Right, you guys remember this?
- 41:15Speaker 1: Not really, but I'll go with it.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Oh, it happened to him. He was like, who's the
- 41:21Speaker 3: receiver out in Cleveland, Josh Gordon?
- 41:23Speaker 1: Is that his names?
- 41:24Speaker 2: Gordon?
- 41:25Speaker 4: Same sort of story, Randy Gregory, same sort of story,
- 41:27Speaker 4: Like they kept getting popped with positive drug tests. He
- 41:30Speaker 4: couldn't stop. So he's on a podcast and he was asked,
- 41:33Speaker 4: what lengths did you go to try and to try
- 41:37Speaker 4: and pass these tests?
- 41:38Speaker 9: Listen to this the couple tests before I realized it
- 41:41Speaker 9: was gonna kick me out of school, I'm sitting in
- 41:43Speaker 9: a circle. I'm on Google trying to figure out, man,
- 41:45Speaker 9: how to past this test. And I'm just scrolling, scrolling,
- 41:48Speaker 9: and I come across from let's say it, man, just
- 41:51Speaker 9: put a little bleach in the top and put it
- 41:53Speaker 9: in your Coca Cola. And so I did that, and
- 41:56Speaker 9: I'm like, yo, what Like my whole inside was just
- 42:01Speaker 9: like erupting. You know what I'm saying?
- 42:02Speaker 1: I ended up throwing that up.
- 42:04Speaker 9: At that probi man that ran out of tricks, right,
- 42:07Speaker 9: I don't know what to do, but I remember sitting
- 42:09Speaker 9: in front of that building man with a cap full
- 42:11Speaker 9: of bleach in a coke bottle, and I thought that
- 42:14Speaker 9: was gonna save my life.
- 42:16Speaker 2: It didn't. It backfired.
- 42:19Speaker 3: What he drank the leach to try and pass a
- 42:23Speaker 3: drug test.
- 42:25Speaker 5: You know, this is nothing to joke about because the
- 42:29Speaker 5: addiction is real, right, Yes, you can get addicted to
- 42:31Speaker 5: that stuff. And it's pretty clear the addiction is there,
- 42:35Speaker 5: so addicted that he's willing to drink a cap of.
- 42:38Speaker 4: Bleach mixed with Coca cola? And so is he saying, Nelly,
- 42:45Speaker 4: you heard the whole clip? Was he saying he filled
- 42:48Speaker 4: a cap the cap of the bleach bottle and drank
- 42:51Speaker 4: that and then chased it with coke?
- 42:54Speaker 6: I mean, I know you drank a cap of bleach
- 42:57Speaker 6: and Coca cola, whether they were mixed or whether he
- 42:59Speaker 6: shot it. And I think we're kind of splitting hairs here.
- 43:02Speaker 6: But but and also he googled it, which means somebody
- 43:05Speaker 6: went on Google and said next a viable option. And
- 43:08Speaker 6: he saw that and said, I agree.
- 43:11Speaker 3: Give that a shot. Consult your doctor first, maybe before
- 43:15Speaker 3: consuming bleach.
- 43:16Speaker 2: Well, would you rather do that or use the wizator?
- 43:19Speaker 3: He said, he used one, He said no, No, he
- 43:21Speaker 3: used earlier.
- 43:22Speaker 2: In that he said us.
- 43:25Speaker 4: He said, I used friends pee, I used fake peas,
- 43:29Speaker 4: I used like all that different stuff. Yes, he said,
- 43:32Speaker 4: he tried everything. That's why he got to the point
- 43:34Speaker 4: of bleach. Couldn't pass one, couldn't do it.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 43:40Speaker 2: There you go.
- 43:41Speaker 3: Kids, don't do that.
- 43:42Speaker 1: It's very bad for you.
- 43:43Speaker 4: Your insides will erupt, as he said three, three, five, four,
- 43:48Speaker 4: nine two five.
- 43:49Speaker 3: Jeff Lagwell next,
