  Speaker 1: This is Moser, Lombardy and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I just realized that moj does a really good impression
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of the guy who's in the B fifty two.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty good. A couple of things.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Would you like to show the audience your your talent.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna pass a fast bread.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Real quick. As we get back to this Avalanche game
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: from last night, I might I'm not even frustrated. In fact,
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm more happy than anything because they did so
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: many things correctly. They responded from that stupid Pittsburgh game.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: They responded so well last night. And Dallas is very
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: very good. Here's Dallas's shots on goal two, seven, five four,
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: here's the abs six fifteen, ten to three. If you
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: look at the data, data was very good. And I
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: had so many negative Nellies, no offense. Nelly had so
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: many negative Nellies on the.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Feeds last time.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Negative Steve people.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Just I mean, they want to throw everybody under the bus.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: I understand human emotion can sometimes get the best of you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Negative is relative. We're negative about the Nuggets we have, but.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: We have reason to be. These two teams are in
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: completely different positions.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying you could pay an optimistic picture for
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: anything if you really wanted to.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Okay, let me say this, Vic. If the Avalanche play
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: the game not with the Nuggets, I can't if.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: The if you're not truthful about the Nuggets today, then
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: I can't take you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: This is all truth serum today, and this is my
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: truth serum. If the Avalanche play that game that they
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: played last night, on these four games on the road,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: they're gonna win every single one of them. Well, in fact,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: you play that game, you win ninety four out of
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: one hundred games.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: Here's what's funny is that I was just talking to
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: somebody the other day and we're talking about the Nuggets.
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: And.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: I was just like, I don't I don't got that feeling.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: I just don't got it like that. They don't have
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: whatever that it is that they had.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: They have inspired you to find them now and it
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: starts with them. That's not you. No, everybody seems to think, well,
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: you gotta believe No, it's not up to me. It's
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: not up to you. It's up to them to make
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: you believe it starts with me.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: So talking about that, Neils, Yeah, I feel the same way.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: I also feel that way with the Abs. I was like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: I don't at all, Like I don't feel that way
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: at all. I think the Avs got it like they've
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: had a rough patch here and there, Like look the
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: pre Olympic break that two weeks or whatever mode was
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: pretty bad, but that was just them.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think they just geared down.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Well you know, you know what, I know lost Landy
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and Taves. They geared down absolutely.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: The thing that impressed me last night that I liked
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: out of the Avs was all those defensive breakdowns we
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: saw in the Pittsburgh games, some of the inefficient and
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: sees we solve the communication problems. They didn't have any
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: of that last night. They were sound. They were really
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: really sound on that end of the ice. They I
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: mean it again, it felt like a playoff game, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: they acted like it was a playoff game, and that
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: was great to see.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: It was like a playoff game too. It was gonna
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: take a lot. I mean, Kivranta takes a stick to
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: the face, he's got blood on the bench. They're putting
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: a towel to his face, no call.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Parker Kelly the hockey player, Rikers the president of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Parker Kelly Fan Club. Johnny's the VP. I guess I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: the treasurer. Kyle's the sergeant at arms.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I love Parker.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Parker Kelly got jacked up. That ma dude that mall
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: wanted in some tough areas. That moll wasn't even say
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: he wasn't in a tough area. He still got jacked up.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: He sought out contact, he received contact, he played a
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: he played a that was a big boy I know
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: this sounds like it's condescending, but that was a big
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: boy hockey game last night, bros.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It was that A couple of things here Victo people,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: when you lose to your rival, the Dallas Stars, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: they beat you in a shootout, Wyat Johnston.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I mentioned him yesterday. How good was his shootout goal?
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: He picked the spotlent right at it him as around.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Du last two shootouts. Weggie has been unbeatable. Guy's got
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: an unbelievable release. But people they don't they don't want
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: to hear. They don't want to hear anything positive after
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: a loss. They'd rather be miserable than whatever I'm telling
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: you right now. I the way they played last night,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: the shots on goal, the way they defended, the way
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Weggie played, the way that mentally into the game, physically
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: into the game. They were all of that. Ottinger was brilliant.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: But you give me a seven game series of that,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: you're gonna move on.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It's all good.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Number two and maybe this is what Vic needs to
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: get through his head in regards to the text line.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: So some of these people are responding to me. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: had to block one person. Then somebody said, I can
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: see what people hate mosure like because I block an idiot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I can see why people hate you.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: If I'm gonna have a new rule in life, if
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I can't meet you in person to.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Ascertain your level of competence.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: As a human being, your overall demeanor, your capacity, then
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to engage with you. Because what I
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: picture some of these people last night are like, it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: like somebody on the street corner shouting at a post.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Yet they've been given a platform that makes them as
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: relevant as anything on the planet. You know what I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: It's just it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not doing it anymore. I know what I know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I know what you what I saw. It's the truth.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: If you can't discern the differences between the Pittsburgh loss
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: and the loss last night, then there's no help for you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And I get it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Results or results. This is what Bednar said about results
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: after the game. By the way, I mean, I.
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: Watched your team play like that, and I have like
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: very little issues with the way we played. And you
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: know I've said it all along, I'm not going to
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: judge your team on results only. I think that's a
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: losing battle. I think you play like that and good
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: things will happen.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Like you, you play a game like that and you lose,
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: I get it, you're disappointed by the final result, but
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: you live with the way that you played. If you've
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: played competitive sports at all in your life, there are
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: times in which you have played well in the other
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: guy was just better. That's a lot easier to stomach
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: than what happened against Pittsburgh a couple of nights ago,
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: where you just played like ass and you got punished
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: for it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: You know, one deduction I can make for watching that
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: game last night, Wedgie's your number one goalie.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Ben Dark kind of hinted that. We asked him that yesterday.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: He said This is not set in stone that they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: still gonna like give some some reps to everybody.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: He's the guy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: But he said before the game, here's the quote. Umm,
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: he played fantastic in Dallas, got us a win one
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: five straight. He's the guy to go with right now
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, that's what he said.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: And here's the point of that. The time for Look
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: and Blackwood is beyond competent. Don't get me wrong. You
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: have to go if you're the coach with who gives
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: you the best chance that night, period, end of story.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: That's it, you know, and now it can change, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: can fluctuate, but Vic, that's that's what you have to
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: go with, especially when the postseason starts.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Most this and I'm not saying losing is ever a gift,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: but the gift that this does give you is it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: pretty simple. Now you have a two point cushion with
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: a game in hand. Every single game and point matters.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: If you want that number one seed, it matters. No
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: more messing. You can't overlook anybody, can't make excuses about anything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: It's the same situation the Nuggets have been in. You know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: you have a tough draw road game in Memphis with nose.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Every point, Every game matters from here on. How many
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: games left for the a.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: FS Uh they've played sixty three.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: No, see it's fifty seven and ten sixty seven so
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: they got fifteen.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, fifteen games.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Good job, brut that took a while.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Well I'm not good at the math, okay, So just Chicago,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: all right, Chicago, it matters two points, They matter, every
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: one of them. Because I'm gonna tell you right now,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: and I think we all understand, you play Dallas in
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: the playoffs. Those are the two best teams. I want
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: that seventh game at home. Every game matters. If you
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: want that seventh game at home.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: Here's the difference of what what is coming for both
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: of these teams. The nice part about where the Abs
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: are at. So you got a two point lead right
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: now with a game in hand on Dallas. Here's and
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: I know this is a road trip here Mos, but Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver. Uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: that is a pretty ideal stretch to go on.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: The strength of schedule for the Abs down the stretch
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: compared to the strength of schedule for the.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Stars is way back.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: I was just gonna say their next two games is
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: at Minnesota on Saturday and then back to back against Vegas.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you night after, if you're the Avalanche, Vic Brett,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: if you don't go to Chicago and waste them tomorrow night,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: it's going now now.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Then I'll be disappointed.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Then I'm turning then on Saturday morning we don't have
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: a show. I'm turning the machine on and I'm jumping
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: on the airwaves. Yeah, and I'm and I'm flaming mad.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: You know, Minnesota just went to Chicago and wonted a
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: in a in a in overtime two nights ago. So
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: nothing is guaranteed in this league.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: But if you're the.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Avalanche, you played that game last night against the Chicago Blackhawks,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: even in their joint you're winning six to one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: At the worst.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I'm not I'm not glossing anything. I
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: believe lazing or what do you call it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Glazing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I'm not glazing anything. It's the damn truth. Did you
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: see what Nashville did to nights ago against Winnipeg.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: What did they do?
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Hella Buck They won four to three in a shootout.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: The Predators did in Winnipeg, Hella Buck couldn't stop a
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: beach ball again, his same percentage was eight seventy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So he was no longer of Alvis.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Dude, Why does he because it's the Avs dude, Because
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: he's very good and when he's properly motivated, he's still
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: that guy. But the Rangers come in there, they're completely
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: out of it, and he can't. I mean it's like
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: he's got two glove hands er. You know, it's the
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Predators go in there, the bunch of dudes.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Dan what speaking of? Sorry, he can't stop it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Me put twenty shots on him. He can't stop anything.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: The one goal that Robertson scored last night that the
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: Star scored, that was almost a Hella Buckian save by
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Wedgwood with his stick, brought it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Back across his body and got a piece of it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Just couldn't get all.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: You that when it goes off the post behind you,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, when that, when that power play shot
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: went off the post behind Ottinger.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: I already I wrote it up to a It's one
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: of those nights, yes, you know, and I hated it
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: early in the season when you brought up the term goldlead.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Remember I said, you can never use that term again,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: but I can the AB's got goldid.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: As we move on in the Brett region of our
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: drop tournament, again, each segment at the end you vote
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to what's moving on four versus thirteen? The four seed
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: is what are you doing with your spirit fingers?
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: So what you're doing here spirit fingers? Yeah, that's that
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: they were spiriting.

  Speaker 5: I mean, not that they're not totally totally malfunctioned, they are,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: but you you pointed it out pretty Why why.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Do you accentuate my disabilities.

  Speaker 7: Because I was born with a disability. I'm pale on, redheaded, freckled.
• 12:29

• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Come on, I think you got something going on? Hey?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Are you honored to know? Leggy?
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: At some point Nelly told me you are a participant
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: in our drop tournament.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Do you know that he just told me that? Yeah?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, does he know? Have you picked five teams or no.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, he's got a drop in
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: our tournament.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're doing the radio thing.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say, Jeff, all the years you've been
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: on this program, I don't think you've ever said anything stupid.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: You got a really good track record, but that that
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: was a good one, right there.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: No, I've got plenty of stupid on my list.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: I got, I got stupid. Let me start this. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: got and and this is more of a media qualm
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: than anything else. These uh, these zoom press conferences are
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: now being held in sports especially you know the Broncos
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: love doing them.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, no, I know I'm.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Preaching to the choir here, Jeff.
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah no, You're really gonna limit your Super Bowl chances
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: if you let a guy hold up.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I know, I listened. I listened to the Wattle one,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: and I think Wattle is great and tremendous. But doing
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: these these zoom press conferences is the biggest waste of time,
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: in the biggest joke, in the biggest affront to what
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: we try to do in this business. And the fact
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: that these continue is I don't know what to say.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: I don't participate in them. Because they're dumb. They're dumb.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: There's I mean, I what what is your Have you
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: talked to anybody about this? Why do we still do this?
• 16:22
  Speaker 11: I've talked more than anyone else in the local mark
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: This is one of my my hills.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I will charge up every time.
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: So but yeah, it's more of a a Sean Payton
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: result of he he likes doing it. He doesn't want
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: to do in person on Mondays, so he does it
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: that way.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: So that's how they do.
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: And the only reason they did waddle is because it
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: was a trade. It was significant and people were going
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: bananas to get something. I mean, hey, they haven't done
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: anything with a free agent thing signed in the Sean
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: Payton era.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: I mean Mike McGlinchey told me he had bought a
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: suit for the press confidence that never.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Was so uh so there you go.
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: I mean, I I don't get it, but that's you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: they don't really ask me my opinion.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm telling you, I'm telling you it matters.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: It matters.
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: I will say the players would prefer a moment when
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: they sign or are traded.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: When they arrive.
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: But I mean, that's a that's a great let's make
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: be your best moment other than like if you win
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: a super Bowl with a team. I mean, that's a
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: that's a big moment. A lot of guys are just
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: signing their first real mega deal. Why not celebrate that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 11: Let him bring his family and sit in the front
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: row and take pictures and take a tour of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: facility and all all those things. But you know, again,
• 18:02
  Speaker 11: I'm just one guy, but I fight for it all
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: the time. I prefer in person. I don't think anything
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: should be zoom. But you know I text with one
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: finger too, so I'm not exactly a techno marble.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: Jeff Legwald joining us on the Ramaslah hot Line and
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: all conversations with Leggie I brought to you by the
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers IVW Local sixty eight.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Start with a job and with a career. So to
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the Wattle acquisition.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: We've talked about on this show, like what do you
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: define as a number one wide receiver and what entails
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: that and all that stuff. Like when it comes to
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Waddle and Sutton, the nice thing is they are two
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: completely different wide outs with different skill sets that you
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: have to worry about. But ideally seventeen games he stays healthy.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: What do you think the target number looks like for
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: Jalen Waddle? Does he get six a game? What do
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: you see in the districtribution.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Between the Whiteouts now and specifically him and Sutton?
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: Well, I mean, he played a different offense in Miami
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: for a little different but they ran the ball a
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: lot in that offense, and for several of the years
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: he had Tyreek Hill in the lineup And his lowest
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: target total in Miami was eighty three, So that's his
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: lowest and I think he was at least one hundred
• 19:26
  Speaker 11: in every other season, So he's a high volume player.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: It's just you know, how often are the Broncos going
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: to throw the ball where?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: You know where's it going to go?
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: I don't think you worry about the targets more than
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: what it does. You know, if he's not getting the ball,
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: he's this guy will still impact every single thing a
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: defense does on a pass play. You can't push Cortland
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: to the boundary anymore and just gang up on them.
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: I mean, look at Sutton's targets the last two games
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: of the regular season and in the playoffs. You know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: people were punishing the Broncos because they didn't have options
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: to go away from him.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: That's not the case.
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: Now, you know, this is a this is a high
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: volume player with a with who.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Is a high end route runner.
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: Like he doesn't have a route where a defense can
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: say he doesn't do that as well as he does
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: the other three. Now, this is a high end route runner,
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: very meticulous. He's in the right spots.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: It will take about a third of a practice for
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: bow Knicks to realize he can be confident putting the
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: ball toward him on any route because he's going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: be where Bo expects.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Him to be.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Well, if you look at those number of targets around
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: these parts the last decade, I'll get you a statue
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: in front of the dang stadium.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I mean that would be that would be awesome.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: That being said, they still have some work to do
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: and I know that you've been on the tight ends
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: for quite some time. Is that solvable in the draft
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: at all? And do they have another move coming their way?
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: Well, another move will take some you know, they're they're
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: kind of squished against the salary cap a little bit. Uh,
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: they're trying to position for next year and all those things.
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: So a move would require some book keeping, and I'm
• 21:18
  Speaker 11: not sure there's a player at that position I would
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: think is worthy of a significant move, especially surrendering draft picks.
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: I mean, they went from nine picks to seven and
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: the Wattle deal, so I don't I don't think you
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: want to go much lower than that when now you
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: have a roster full of large signed extensions and bo
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: Nix's contract is coming at some point, you're going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: need a lot of draft picks and a lot of
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: young players coming in or you're going to have a
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: big salary cap problem.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: So I think any deals.
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: That require them to surrender picks are not a great
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: idea for them right now. And there are tight ends
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: in the draft they can find and have some immediate
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: impact as a receiver, you know, that huge impact. You
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: might have to move up in the second round to
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: find a little of that. But one of the reasons
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: sort of the draft pick total the Dolphins gotten the
• 22:25
  Speaker 11: Wattle deal was a little higher than a lot of
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: people in the league thought was okay, was the Broncos
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: did not want to surrender any twenty twenty seven picks.
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: They have a lot of picks in that draft and
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: right now, I mean, anything can change, but right now
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: that draft projects to be pretty awesome days one through three,
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: so that was some of the reason they gave up
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: a little more this year on the board to get Wattle.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Can I ask you about the future of Marvin Mims?
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: What does this mean to Mims? Because I don't understand
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: why Mims wasn't embraced more in this offense because he's
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: the same size as Waddle. I understand he's not as
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: proven his Wattle. I get it, but we've seen him
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: on the field in key situations and he thrives. What
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: do you do with him?
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: I'd surely like to see Mems with one hundred targets
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: and see what that looks like. You know, we may
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: be talking about the same numbers, frankly, I you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: people can disagree with my draft evaluation, but I have
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: thought Marvin Mims was an impact player from the moment
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: he walked in, and it's been one of the biggest
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: I've had a lot of questions over the years in
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: my time as a beat writer, but why Mims can't
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: break through is one of the biggest I've ever had
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: here in.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Terms of personnel usage.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Is it blocking?
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: You know, I've asked everybody. I've never gotten an answer
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: that's really says it all. I don't get it. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: probably will never get it. But this, I think this
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: impacts his snaps the most. I'm going to be intrigued
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: to see how how they do this. I mean, you
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: know they made this move. This is kind of you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: button your button heads with yourself on this. They've used
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: four draft picks in the last three drafts on wide
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: receivers and then they make their most significant trade since
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: Russell Wilson on a wide receiver.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So now you've done both things.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: You invest a huge in the draft and you've made
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: a significant trade at the position. So they're either saying
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: they didn't get it right, or didn't get enough, or
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: should have drafted you know more. I don't know, but
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: they are sort of, you know, stacking on top of themselves,
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: and they're the young players they picked in the draft
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: are are going to have their snaps cut because Jayalen
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: Lonne's gonna play and he's gonna.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Play a lot.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Just to follow up on that, you know, when you
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: make a move like this, this is pushing your chips
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: to the middle of the table.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Was this something in your estimation that you know.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: We talked to Luca Evans of The Post yesterday and
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: he had an article where he heard that the Broncos
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: had a hard cap on numbers for guys in free agency.
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: It was ten million dollars a year for a running back.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: They were not willing to go higher. It was six
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: million a year for a tight end. They were not
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: willing to go higher. Is that because they knew something
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: like this was going to happen?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Do you think is that?
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: No?
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: Okay, no, that was that's their numbers. They approached the
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: draft the same way. There's a height, weight speed parameter
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: on all positions on their draft board. That's they will
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: divert from in rare cases. But for the most part,
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: they live by the metrics they've studied and they didn't
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: just pick those numbers. Those are They've got a pretty
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: high end analytics department that has looked at decades worth
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: of information about how much you should pay each position
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: compared to the output you get. Again, there, they would
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: always be an outlier, but that's why they got out
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: of the Uh. The Shane Travis, you know, we called
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: him at n for years until he finally told people
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: how to say his name. But that's why they got
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: out of that bidding. It went beyond that. They were out.
• 26:29
  Speaker 11: They they exited the process.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: I just got word by the way, we're talking about
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Marvin Mims, and I can't wait to talk to him.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: He will be our pregame host prior to the Nuggets
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: game Sunday at Ball Arena. Cool and uh, I'm interested
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: in hearing from him what he thinks about his future
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: in Denver because if i'm I'm.
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: Like, yeah, I mean, if it's up to the Broncos,
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: they want the best returner in football on their on
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: their team. But I you know, I like Marvin, And again,
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: I would like to see one season where Marvin Mims
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: gets a hundred targets and let's see what that looks like.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: But you're not going to see that here.
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: But frankly, honestly, the best offenses don't spend a lot
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: of time with that discussion. The best teams don't spend
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: a lot of time. I mean, the Bengals have Joe Burrow,
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: T Higgins and Jamar Chase, and I always hear how
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: awesome it would be to have those three guys, But
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: we don't see him in the playoffs because they constructed
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: their team improperly.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: And you know, Marvin Mims will be on a very
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: good team.
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: With the Broncos and they're gonna need him at some
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: point in the season.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: But this does.
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: Impact him, It impacts Pat Bryant, and it impacts Troy Franklin.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: But they're gonna run.
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: You know, they were one of already one of the
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: high use teams for three wide last year and this
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: will only.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Up the They're a better team today.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: That's that's what I mean.
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: You know, the good teams, the good the really good
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: teams don't worry about who's w r one, I agree,
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: and who's getting the targets. That's just not a discussion
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: on the good teams. And I I you know, it
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: could be old thinking, like go paint your cave leg walled,
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: but uh, I think when you're spending a lot of
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: time talking about a team and you're talking about who's
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: getting targets and who's getting carried, that's fantasy football stuff.
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: But the good teams internally don't really worry about that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: They worry about when you get the ball, produce, when
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: you're on the field, produce.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: That's what they worry about.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Just quickly here, Travis Eten's name is actually a chan Chane.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: Do you think that a chan from Miami's name is
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: actually etn Yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe that might be worth that might be worth checking out.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: But maybe.
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: This hits home with me because I always ask guys
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: many times how to say it, how to spell it.
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: It's one of my big things because I just remember
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: when I first started, if you messed up a kid's
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: name and a high school football story, you just the
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: family never forgot it. So, I mean, you just it
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: always became the biggest thing to me. And it's amazing
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: to me that he said he kept correcting people at
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: Clemson and they just gave up and like all right,
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: And I just can't imagine that you let somebody people
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: this pronounce your name for years because you just got
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: sick of telling them the right.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: Way, jet Greg for the first two.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Weeks you did that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: You did.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: So you've called me a lot of things.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: Lay because you're featured in this drop tournament, in this
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: matchups coming, Do you want to stick around and hear
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: your opponent in this?
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: No? I you know, I just still lose the week.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I don't worry about my opponents. I worry about myself.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Nobody is a bigger critic than I am.
• 30:09

• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Hey, I want to start things out here because this
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: lady's onto something. It has nothing to do with sports,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: but I'm fascinated because I'm a curious human. A lady
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: at a Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Hospital. She's being sued by
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: the hospital because she got discharged from the hot spital
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: last October and she won't leave. She's been in the
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: hospital room for five months and she won't leave.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? You won't leave, won't we What.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Are they gonna do? Pick her up and throw her
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: on the street.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: They're trying to evictor and they're suing her, but she
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: won't leave the hospital room.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Nice place, hey man, These new hospitals are really nice.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: They built one right here by our house. Yeah, and
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: my mom was there a few weeks ago. I wanted
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: to hang out for a while.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: I can't do the food there, though, the food is
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: just a food was stromctuous. Look when baby Boval was born,
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: you get like the room service. I don't know, is
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: it two times a day, three times a day for free.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: He's like, yeah, we'll bring you up food out. Her
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: food does every time. I was like, yeah, not for me.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can go down. You get down to the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: commissary and get a burger or something.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Hey, real quick though, because it's it's the imagined
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: emergency medical treatment the hospitals to give Medicare funds, they
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: are required by law to provide treatment that stabilizes anyone
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: coming to the emergency department with a medical condition.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, fine, but she's been there five months.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: They're like, I think you're stable.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: They're like you had a hangnail. You gotta go, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: she won't go anyway. Go ahead.
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: Hey, if you guys are really excited about the NHL
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: changing their playoff format, well I got news for you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: It's going nowhere. Gary Bettman yesterday, after repeated calls from
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: everybody who enjoys the sport of hockey to change this
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: stupid format, he said, this, it gives us a sensational
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: first round, probably the best first playoff. Our best playoff
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: first round in any sport. It's not going anywhere. And
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: it's all because Bettman.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Why is he so stubborn?
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Vic because he thinks more balls are on his sport sooner,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: and what is wrong with you?
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: He may not be wrong.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: I mean when you have a really good first round
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: matchup between two teams that you know could be the
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: like last year, the Avs and the Stars were two
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: of the top five teams in the league. Avs lost
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: in Game seven on the Stars home ice in that
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: third period and it was very compelling that entire series.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: That being sad Man, Yeah, teams get knocked out, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: you shouldn't. You shouldn't mandate and force teams to have
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: to be bounced before. It doesn't make sense to me.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Here's what I don't get it.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: I would go one through I would have the top
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: six winners of their divisions be seeded one through six,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: and then I would do seven through sixteen.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I would go one through sixteen in the playoffs.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: So listen, best playoff first round in sports.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I got news for him.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: Hockey's playoff atmosphere is as good as it gets, no
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: matter who's playing who. And I'll give you an example, vic,
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: did it take away from anything at all? When the
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Rams played the Carolina Panthers in the first in the
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: wild card round last year, it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Was a sensational.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Game, came down to the final series.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter if they hated each other or not.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It was a great game. That's all you care.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: About, agreed. Let the games dictate what we like, yes, exactly,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: not the matchups. Let the games. Sometimes the games have
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: to go where you want to go, not the matchups, vic.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: I I said last night.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: I said that any and again there's only one opinion
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: that matters, and you heard from the commissioner. But any
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: system that mandates that one of your best teams in
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: the league is forced out in round two is a
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: flawed system.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, this is my nightmare. We all know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: Our lovely airport here in Denver that is not actually
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: in Denver, is very strange in the fact that if
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: you want to get to your terminal you have to
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: take transportation.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: There is no walking there. But what happens when the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: power goes out in an airport this.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Da yesterday, where those trains are, that is a nightmare.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks like lollapalooza. How do they not have
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: backup generators?
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: That's one.
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: It's like one of the biggest airports in the country
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: and there's nothing to back things up in case power
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: goes out. And this one is like all this construction
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: going on there. I've can't put some sort of walkway,
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Like it might take a minute to get to these terminals, but.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: At least you have a way to get there.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: Nothing really, You know, if if you complain about the airport,
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: you hear from people saying you complain too much. It's
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: a world class international airport. So oh yeah, I'm done
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: complaining it. I I'm spoiled because I lived here when
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: the airport was in the middle of the city and
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: it was easy access. But I understand we outgrew that airport.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: We needed something.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Stapleton, Well you know the tower, the tower is still there. Well,
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: my boy buddy of mine owns that place.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: He has a bar there. Now, Oh that's right.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, got the airport, the old airport. Yeah, the whole
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: the time airport at the old airport.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: No, but you're not gonna believe this, but there were
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: there were runways on the other side of seventy, so
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: planes would actually taxi over the freeway to get to
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: the other side. I know landing at Stapleton was awesome.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say that.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Bottom line though, why is it when you why why
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: can't you criticize the airport?
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Why do people get so mad?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: It's so much It's so much more different. How many
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: doing on this?
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: I think is way different than oh, my flight to
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: Paris got delayed.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Like people don't want to hear that.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: Like, I'm going on a nice trip and we're delayed
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: by a couple hours.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: This is is death.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Let me give you my simple criticism of the airport,
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: and it's not a criticism necessarily of the airport design
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: or any of them. We have catered our airport for
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: international It's an international hub, which I understand. You're gonna
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: have a lot of people use the airport. They're gonna
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: fly through the airport, they're moving internationally and moving to
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: other cities. My problem is, I don't care about those people.
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: I care about Denver, and I care about the fact
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: that you have to drive so damn far to get there.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: It should cater to us. I don't care about people
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: all over the screw them that I care about us
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Vic Number one, the fact that we paid three hundred
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: and fifty g's for a death horse is ridiculous. That
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: killed that killed its builder is ridiculous. I hate the
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: death horse. Some people love it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I hate it.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: Number two. They officially began renovations at DIA back in
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: July of twenty eighteen.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: We're almost before I got here.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're almost eight years into this MA and I
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: walked through the you know, the main terminal. There's no
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: wires hanging from the ceiling, and you know, there's plywood
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: all aroun It's been eight years, bro, what do we
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: We're not building the Brooklyn Bridge?
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Just what the hell are we doing?
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Quickly?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: One other thing?
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I am done though.
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: Detroit's having this magical season in the Eastern Conference. The
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: Pistons have led that for a majority of the year.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: They're forty nine to nineteen. Well, they just got the
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: news their star Cade Cunningham, has been diagnosed with they
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: of time. Now they have a three and a half
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: game lead over Boston. But you don't have your star
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: player here. Towards the end of the year. You don't
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: know when you're gonna get him back. They don't even
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: know exactly when it happened. Their speculation it was in
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: the Washington game. He was kind of falling to the floor,
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: took a knee to like the ribs. Yeah, but I
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: collapsed lung yuck is.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Blow it back up. What's a big deal. I got
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: a compressed ro at home. Just stick it down his throat.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: And so some key players are missing here down the
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: SA trage. Anthony Edwards missing from Minnesota, Kate Cunningham in Detroit.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Let's get to another match up here in the Drop tournament.
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: It is the Brett Region today, the Nelly Region will
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: be tomorrow.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: It is a three versus fourteen. The three seed is.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: Here's how I'll put it to you. The Mavericks didn't
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: trade Luca to the Lakers. They traded him to the Nuggets.
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: Are you winning a championship?
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Are you winning a champion?
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: Should be texting that same crap championship, a champ and
• 41:30
  Speaker 12: a chip. It makes sense that goes against the fourteen seed,
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: which is Baker.
• 41:35
  Speaker 13: Mayfield also did it without his number one wide receiver,
• 41:38
  Speaker 13: Mike Evans, and you got to give a credit to
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: this rookie sensation wide receiver out of Ohio State, Emika
• 41:44
  Speaker 13: at big boo going for over one hundred dollars, Amika
• 41:49
  Speaker 13: amka at buka.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: I'm getting confused.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: I gotta be honest. I have that clip stuck in
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: my head so badly. I don't think I'm gonna be
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: able to say his name correctly.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Now, beg who it's.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: It's my favorite outside of.

• 42:08
  Speaker 7: Williamson trying to say laxa daisical and he said leadecaa
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: beg boo. That is like my favorite mispronunciation Amica at
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: beg dezine.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Because he tried to enunciate it, he was still wrong.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You have that right there. Uh So, if you want
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: the three seed to move on, you text champ are
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: you winning a champion Aship?
• 42:31
