  Speaker 2: holiday budget. Back to the Broncos here Sean Payton yesterday
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: on his team's ability to respond.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Historically, you can only go by this season. You know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: we've been able to week, week by week get onto
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the next opponent, and that same thing has to exist
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: obviously coming off a loss. Look, this is a confident team,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: and I would say this. There wasn't a guy in
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the locker room yesterday. I don't know, you guys probably
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: spent more time with him that felt like we didn't
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: get beat. You know, this wasn't an officiating. This was this.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: We got beat and Jack spill was a better team yesterday.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: And I think I think our players.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Know that, all right, guys, So how do the Broncos
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: bounce back off the mat. I was watching the Patriots
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: talk after their win over the Ravens on Sunday night,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: after dropping one to the Bills, and they were talking about, hey, look,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: maybe this win was actually a good thing. Maybe it
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: provided some perspective. But they were able to then respond
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: by playing another team that had to compete for the playoffs.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Does it matter that the Broncos have to respond by
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: playing a team who's really not trying to win football games.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: It's gonna help that they get this team.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: If they had the Chargers this week, if the games
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: were flipped, I'd be a little bit concerned because the
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Chargers were another good team, and to me, it feels
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: like this is a get right opportunity. Look, I didn't
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: watch any of the Chiefs in Titans game at all.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Did you pay attention to that football game at all?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: I kept looking at the score, saying, why am I
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: even bothering?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I'm the sick o.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on, you're a geek.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: If you watch that, it's on red zone. So I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: caught that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: And I don't know how the defense looked for Kansas City.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they're still trying to play. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That was one of the better games cam Mood has
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: played this year. Yeah, they they mean, Look, they've rested
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys. Their injury report was huge heading
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: into the game. In fact, right after we got off
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the air on Friday, Kansas City basically released that like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: nine starters were gonna be out. They're not trying to win.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: No, they're not trying to win. So that's what the
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: idea is. Now.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: The idea is, this is a get right game. Kansas
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: City's got a ton of guys that are going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: be out. They've got a quarterback nobody's ever heard of
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: playing the game, the over unders thirty six, and most
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: of that probably will be the Denver Broncos.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So this is a terrific opportunity.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Now, vic I would also say that in this particular game,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: on the defensive side of things, I think style points
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: are going to matter. Now, again, you're playing a lesser opponent.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: We'll see if Kareem Hunt gets crazy for two hundred yards.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but style points to me going about
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: how you respond to what just happened to you getting
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: beat by a better team that day, how you do
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: it is going to be.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Big for me.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: You just said something, and focus on this because I
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: think it's going to be the only way Kansas City
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: can keep his They're going to run the ball. They're
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: gonna focus on running the ball, and Denver better be
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: ready to deal with that. I mean, set the table
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: up front, because these guys, what.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Else are they going to do?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Michael Oloa, cand You're gonna go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Up top, Chris al Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's Sean Payton
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And this is a fascinating exchange with Mike Cliffs. We've
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: talked about this. Are they regressing defensively? And here's the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: exchange between Mike and Shawn yesterday.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Mike, I don't buy it. I mean you can. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: can listen. Our defense played pretty well last week, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know, you look for those trends, and I think
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: our defense has been outstanding this year. They played a
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: good offense yesterday. Look, they struggled. We didn't play well
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: yesterday defensively, but certainly the week before against the good offense,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: we played well, had a big win. So I don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Vic. Are you buying that they've regressed defensively?
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I'm buying that the last two games
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: they haven't been as good defensively. So if that's the
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: definition of regression, what is your definition of regression? How
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: many games do you need?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I'm really glad you asked. Can I give you some numbers?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Sure?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Before the buye the Broncos defense, on average was allowing
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: opponents seventeen and a half points per game. After the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: buye twenty five point eight little disturbing.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: How many games after the buye four? How many? So
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: it's not the same amount of games.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: No, sir, it is not an equal sample size on
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: both sides. Does that matter to you?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: It matters only because I think that the competition you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: going to be playing moving forward is going to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: better competition, and I think that's more indicative of what
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: your defense is. The better the competition, right, the better
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: the quarterback correct?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: So, maybe it's not a defense that gives up ten
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: to fifteen points. Maybe it's a defense that gives up
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: twenty to twenty five and you got to adjust.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: How about this one? On the on the shot massa
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: text line motion. Broncos are going to Arrowhead in December
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and you're worried about style points. Hell, no place has
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: been a house of horrors for us, especially this time
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of year. Just win the damn game. Don't care how it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, fine, that's that's completely fine. I agree whin the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: dang game? Whoever who sent that?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: A texter? I don't have a name for you, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a texter both the three to two six? Okay, oh
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: three two six? Do you know what you're facing on
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Christmas Night?
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: You're facing a team, as you talked about Matt resting,
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: a bunch of guys, sitting a bunch of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Guy, whatever the case.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: You're talking about a quarterback at twenty eight years of
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: age who didn't ever play a snap in the NFL
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: until last week when he had to come in an
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: emergency duty because Mincehew got banged up. He's making his
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: first career start against this defense. Now, by the way,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: if it was Vick, you've been to Kansas City in
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: the icy rain.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: I wanted to bring something up here.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Freezing cold sleet ice where you get hit in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: face with like these little chunks and it hurts, looks
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: at diamond like ow ow. It's going to be what
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: your boy by say, It's gonna be like sixty five
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: and purfocse.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: I need to bring that up such a great point
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: it almost angers me that. Do you guys know that
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: every Broncos home game has been played in temperatures above
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: sixty degrees this season?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Pretty crazy, isn't that?
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Did you guys know that a Christmas Night game at
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City will be played at sixty
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: plus degrees? Do you also know that the coldest I've
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: ever been in my life is at Arrowhead Stadium on
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: two or three different times when I literally I was
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: cowering in the corner, just wanting to go. I was
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: like looking at my makers saying, take me, let.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Me backfick up on this. I've been in Kansas City
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: where the weather causes pain, like what's falling from the sky.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: It hurts.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: It's in the bones, pain like deep in the bones,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Like just let's end it. What's going into it? Right now?
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: I almost got taken out by a tornado in Kansas
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: outside Kansas City that swept by about two miles away.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I thought, were We're stuck on the freeway,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: bumper to bumper in the elevated road, nowhere to go.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I'm dead, God, God, I think we're going.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: In Yeah, how about the news yesterday that the Kansas
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: City Chiefs are moving their operations to Kansas. Dude, it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: literally a five minute drive, doesn't matter Kansas. Okay, you
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: realize that Kansas City, I know what it is, Missouri
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: and Kansas, I get you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Get that right, They're now in Kansas. It's like the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Broncos are moving their operations to.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, I I don't even how to describe it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: It's like if Denver was cut in half. On the
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: other side of twenty five was another state.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: You mean, like just moving the stadium to loan Tree
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: as opposed to burn them yr.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Well, not not even that far. I mean, it's really
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: not that far.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Are you surprised that the Kansons agreed to take on
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: the bill of two billion dollars to move the team?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Dude, they're all one people. This messes as a Knson
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: blank Fissouri, Okay, whatever, you.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: But they're footing the bill for it. Yes, that's surprising
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: to mean, it's it's a lot of bread.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But this is another reason why the Hunts are disliked
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: across the NFL. Look, they've got a great reputation, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: this is why I was complaining about Chicago the other day.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Owning an NFL franchise in twenty twenty five is not
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: for the people who have five billion in the bank.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: It's for the people with twenty billion in the bank,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that's and in assets. That's who it's for. Now, you're
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: dumping all of this responsibility on the taxpayer to do that,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And Kansas is like great, I mean, we've been trying
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to get you guys to come over here for years.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: In fact, actually, well.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: For the kids people, the prairie, Prairie Village chiefs. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: like that Jerry Village.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Sure. I saw a lot of people saying we need
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to drop the city and just call them the Kansas chiefs.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm good with whatever. I think. The
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: more pressing point here is that you're removing again one
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of the oldest stadium's outdoor stadiums, you know, left in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the NFL.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Quite frankly, yes, here's a question. Well, they fancy themselves
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: on that, right mose. They fancy themselves on being the
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: loavest outdoor stadium, and now they're abandoned in that stadium.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Well, how many domes are we going to have in
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: this league? I think there's only a certain there's only
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: a certain I mean, look, I know they want to
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: have year round stuff inside of a dome. We're going
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: to get one here in Denver too. But if you
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: think like, oh, now we're gonna get this super Bowl too,
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: and we're gonna get the final, no man, Jered World. Listen,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: all these you know, Phoenix, Jered World, all these guys.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Are still going to get the goods.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Someone on the text line, everybody wants a dome, Matt,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: why are you pretending that the Chiefs game and the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: outcome is even in doubt it's an automatic blowout win.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't believe I ever said it was in doubt.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Number one, When did I say.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: That, Oh you've been crying all morning about have I?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that whatsoever. I'm glad this textter has
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a different memory than I do. I think the point
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: we're trying to illustrate here is it's a division game.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: The Chiefs aren't trying to win football games, but you
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: still have to take care of business in a place
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that has not been kind to you over the years.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And again, that wasn't even the point that I was
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: trying to illustrate at the beginning. However, here's my question.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Let's just say the Broncos lose this game, whatever, hell
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: freezes over, pigs fall out of the sky, Broncos lose.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Where does that rank as far as most significant and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: disappointing losses in team mystery?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: That rebound.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: You're not the only documentary getting knocked out by the Jaguars.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: That was pretty sick.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: That team was super Bowl A significant That hurts so
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: damn bad.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: It's hard to make any historical measurement on a game
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: that hasn't happened yet and we don't know what happens after.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They cop out. It's not like cop out.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not a cop out because they're still playoff bound.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: No, it's not if you lose one.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: What if they lose this game and then went out
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: and go to Super Bowl? What how significant is it?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Well it's not, but it won't be, but in the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: moment it will be because you'll have to go on
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the road most likely. I mean if the one seed
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: stays in it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: The year that the Denver Broncos won the first Super Bowl,
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: they went on the road and want playoff.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Games, but they had been there a bunch of times
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: with a lot more of an experienced roster.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: No, I'll make you a deal.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll make you a deal.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: If they lose this game, I'll say it's going to
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: be it'll rank up their big time.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: And this is why.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: If they lose this game, the only way they lose
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: this game.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Is through catastrophic injury.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Well, no, if they lose this game, it's because of
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: this two things. Okay, Thursday night, short week to prepare,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: and we've seen them on a Thursday night already this season,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: and they did not look good at home against the Raiders. Okay,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: so beware, and I've said this before, beware of the
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Thursday night divisional games. Those are trap games all the time,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: no matter who you're playing. A divisional foll on a
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: short week is never easy. I don't think it's gonna
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: be as easy as Moser makes it out to be.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: It's because if you had, you've had a pure catastrophic
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: injury type of game, and then then I will say
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: that's significant, Matt, because then all your hopes and dreams
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: are gone. That's the only scenario that would play out
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: where I would agree with you one of the worst
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: of all time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It'd be bad.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be really bad, really really bad.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Do you see the Pro bowlers were announced, by the way.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I did. Broncos got six and I'll tell you exactly
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: who made that list. On the other side, it's Matt
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Smith with Mark Moser and Vic Lombardi, Moser Lombardi and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Kan on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two to five. Moser
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Lombardi and came with Matt Smith. Happy Tuesday to you,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: by the way, Nuggets ticket Tuesday or Aves ticket Tuesday.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, Nuggets ticket Tuesday. It's been a long Tuesday
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: so far. If you want to win tickets to Aves
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and Kings on the twenty ninth, text bottleneck. That's bottleneck
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: one word to three h three five, four h nine

• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's an AVS Ticket Tuesday and it's powered by Matthews
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Fine Watches and Jewelry. The keyword for this hour is bottleneck.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Text it now and we'll announce our winner coming up
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: in the next segment.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's happened?
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Well, the plane the Los Angeles Kings and the words
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: have been gridlock, jam, bottleneck, So it's all having to
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: do with traffic and Los Angeles has notoriously some of
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: the worst traffic unplaneted Earth.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Right, m hm, that's what it is. I figured it out.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I will say this.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: You come, You come a long way to get to
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: the show in the morning.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah you haultail.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Vic, I'm here to tell you when I drive
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: to work at six fifteen in the morning, you live
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: right next door, but only I get him plenty of
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: time when I drive to work. Okay, it feels like nowadays,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm in the eighty five hundred. Okay,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: I was doing eighty one miles per hour. To me,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: I got passed by a garbage truck.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I'm not even blanking you.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: I got passed on the freeway by a garbage truck
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: and I was doing eighty one.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Are you asking? Are you asking for people to start
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: figuring out where Mark Moser lives and setting up the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: speed trapp Why are you admitting that?
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: But we are getting a little wild on the roads
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: with our speed.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Dude, after the games, coming home from from Ballerina, coming
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: down South.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, maybe maybe drive safer. Maybe that's a youth.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I'm I think I'm doing the proper speed.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I'm doing eighty.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: I feel great. I'm in total control, and I feel
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: like I'm standing still.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Well out there in your car. You know, don't don't
• 14:57

• 15:05
  Speaker 6: the morning.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Then my commute back up the stairs after you get
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: my coffee is a little sloer.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I imagine. By the way, if you did not have
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: a chance to listen an hour ago, VIC, thank you
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: so much. Had John Elway come on the program, the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Duke of Denver joined us. The new Elway documentary was
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: released yesterday on Netflix, just in time for Christmas. For
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Broncos fans, it's a great one if you got the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: whole family coming over for the holiday. Look, we know
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: that the two football games that are leading up to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Broncos and Chiefs on Christmas night suck.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: They're horrible.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: What do you want to watch? Josh Johnson? Maybe Mariota.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Johnson. I mean they Max
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Brosmer for the Vikings. Note if you want to turn
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: on Netflix with the whole family, sit around the couch
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and revelentd some nostalgia. That's what you want to do.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Listen to me, I would say, VIC, Yeah, before you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: get I'm gonna back you up here. Parents, be a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: good parent. You owe it to your children. If they
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: don't know, you owe it to them. In fact, I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: would say, you order them to sit and watch the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: documentary with you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Period. End of story.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: I called all my buddies, my childhood buddies, high school buddies.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: I said, you guys got to watch it, and they
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: all beat me to the punch. You know, rich Apple,
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: He said, I watched it the moment it came out yesterday.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: If you're from Denver, especially and you grew up in
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: that era, you're gonna watch it. So I have to
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: relay one quick story. I didn't want to say this
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: when John was on the air because it's pretty embarrassing,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: but it just goes to show you the lengths we
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: will take as kids. Some adults do this. The drive
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: against Cleveland that year. I was at my buddy Todd
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Miller's house watching that game, and we thought the Broncos
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: were going to lose, I mean pretty obvious. Late in
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: the game when they had the ball in the two
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: yard line. They were going to lose. So I remember
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: distinctly sitting there, just four or five feet away from
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: the television. Todd's on one side, I'm on the other,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: and I'm on all fours, and they got a first
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: down and I did like a donkey kick. So he
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: said to me, we gotta do that donkey kick all
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: the time now because once you did it, they got
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: a first down.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You have a camera, could you back up from your
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: camera and demonstrate would I'm not gonna do it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Listen to me, I'm a fifty six year old man
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: telling you at one point in my life, I was
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: doing donkey kicks on all fours watching the drive against
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Cleveland because I thought if if I didn't do the
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: donkey kick, they would not win the game.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: And it worked.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: You know, Vic, I can't prove that your donkey kicks
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: willed the Denver Broncos on the drive and John Elwall
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: and I know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: There are other people like me, more are other people
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: that were doing something, but I can't prove it didn't
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: can't prove it didn't help. Right, listen to me with.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: The visual like I am, do you need him to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: back up?
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I got I got it for you want to see
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: the visual.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I was on all can you do it
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: near me though, that'd be great?
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: And I was doing donkey kicks every time a first
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: down was made.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, put that camera, reel down, get the low angle.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Here's mos on Twitch or else zoo TV.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, now get up there, get your back feet, get
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: behind the haunches high. Yeah, no, no, no, no.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Doublego it was yes, oh yes, one more. You can't
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: even get off the Hey he did it. Fifty At
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: least he did it. You're sitting there in your golden
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: throne stretch kick. Yes, years later, fifty, thank you. Now,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: now I have a visual in my head. I appreciate it, demonstrating.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Years later that's what I was doing during that game.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy. Fun memories. I mean a lot of
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: fun memories. You know what's interesting is, so, let let's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: see Broncos winning ninety eight. Right, that puts me six
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: years old at that point in time. Right, I'm thirty three.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Now do you remember?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Those are my first football memories? Truthfully, like, those are
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: my first football memories because the Packers used to play
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: all the time. And I was thinking about this when
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I was watching the documentary last night, Like I hadn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: been that familiar with the Broncos. Obviously I was a child,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: but I wasn't that. I wasn't like we got to
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: watch Denver games all the time in Chicago. I mean
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: it was regional for the most part. Do you watch
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: the Bears, the Vikings and the Packers, you know what
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I mean? That's basically what it was. Nobody watched the Lions.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Nobody gave a craft. Sorry Brad, but I remember I
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: remember watching that Super Bowl and being like, man, you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I remember rooting for far because that was what I knew,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and then Denver won and being disappointed. And then I
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: remember the next year rooting for Denver because they were
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: who I knew being a kid, and it brought back all.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Those memories if you were, because.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You understand how bad I wasn't really do you know
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: how bad the Bears were when I was grown up.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Think about the stretch of ninety two to like, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: don't know, two thousand and five for Bears football pre
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Erlacker era. I mean, it was a Marcus Robinson, Kate
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: McNown like. It was. It was that and Randy Moss,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: it was Farving, who's.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: That little quarterback from Florida.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Uh what was his name? Grossman?
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, the one that was later lost to Manning
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: in Miami in the rain.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: And so that was in the Super Bowl. He came
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: along a little bit later. Anyway. The point was, is
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I all those memories of like being a being a
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: child came rushing back to me and I remember, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and yeah, I'll tell you this. I've gotten a chance,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: as you both have to work with a lot of
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: these guys that were on that on those teams, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: in those days, that's a special group. Man. You're just
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: looking at all those names, You're like, wow, him and him,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: and look at he did something with his life and
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: he did something with his life that doesn't happen all
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Jeff says, here, where were your donkey kick kicks? In
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl forty eight against the Seahawks. Unfortunately I was
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: in the press box. It was much more difficult to
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: get a donkey kick, and I couldn't get one off
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: because the game was over on the first snap.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: It was, yeah, hey, what are the donkey kicks?
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: When the Niners were hanging fifty five on them?
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: You know, at that point I kicked myself so many
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: times I ran out of gas.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: That was the other thing, is what it must have
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: felt like for John after all of those trips to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and not just trips, you got blown out,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I mean you got embarrassed, humiliated in the Super Bowl.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Was what was the prevailing thought nationally on l way
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: before they made it back and finally got over the hunt.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what it was because I was in
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: college at the time, and I had these arguments with
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: my college buddies. Every time the Broncos advanced to the
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. It was a dread because, oh, great, them again.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: They're gonna lose again, them again. And when you think
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: back at it, like I'll give you a classic example,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: the Buffalo Bills are the first team ever to make
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: four straight Super Bowls and lose four straight. When you
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: look back at that that Jim Kelly led Bears, Buffalo Bills,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: is that a great team or bad team?
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: It was a great team, a great team. It was
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: a great team.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: They lost four Super Bowls in a row, but that
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: was a great team team.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Also, why did he sign the highest contract in the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: NFL When he was drafted?
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: Contracts are much different and that was used against him
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: by the way. I wish I would have asked, damn it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: I forgot to ask John if he still hates Terry Bradshaw.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That was on my list too. By the way, I completely.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Forgot about that because he you know, Bradshaw killed him.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Oh sign that absolutely he did well. Bradshaw killed him
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: before that.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was for the move.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: It was for he didn't want to play for the Colts.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: And by the way, when you go back, what was
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: what was the name of the documentary with with Marvin
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Demof on ESPN VIC what was it called?
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: From eighty three?
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: No, I think it's from Melway to Marino. I think
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: is the name of the of the documentary. But Marvin
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Demoff goes the notes he took were meticulous and awesome.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't have played for the freaking Baltimore Colts either,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: not a chance in hell.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: But could you believe it?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Withers he was a nut.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: It was classy regarding Bradshaw as Bradshaw just serrated him
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: and always never really publicly rip Bradshaw.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I would have.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Somebody on the text line, who's this guy? Do you
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: think we were rooting for the Raiders in the seventies
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: when the Broncos were terrible. I'm talking about I grew
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: up without a father, Okay, I had no male role
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: model in my life, and I didn't know what to do.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I was just loving good football with Farvin Moss. I'm sorry,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but I find that funny that you that you bring
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that up about John, because I was sitting there, going, man,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: this is the first overall pick, and he's making more
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: money in the league. And then he shows up and
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: he's like, I'm not playing for that team. Everybody must
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: have hated this guy at the start of.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: This well, opposing players didn't like him because he was
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: making more money than they were and he was a rookie.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Right, and he was terrible. That was the thing. When
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: he started, he was not good. He was one of eight. Okay,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: first game, all.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Right, So think about that, think about everything, and everybody
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: wants to pay John as some spoiled rich kid from California.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: He had to go through a lot of that crap
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: right in his early years. He had to go through
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of it. He was despised, he was attacked,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: he was I mean, people wanted to take his head off.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: He lost a lot, he was terrible look at his
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: first game.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: It was pretty interesting to me. And I don't want
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: to give too much away if you haven't seen it,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: but it was pretty interesting to me where he said,
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: you know, everything was kind of golden. I mean, but
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: you know, play great in high school Stanford blah blah
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: blah blah blah, and you know, people liked him until
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: that moment. He said that the attitude started to turn
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: in a big way and nobody people did not like me.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, that's I wouldn't have played JOHNA got
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: your back. I wouldn't have played for Baltimore either. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: would have wanted any other place on the planet except that. Okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: it was a very difficult position for him. I have
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: to bring this up. I didn't ask him this question,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: but I jog memories for me. So this year, we
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: have seen bo Nicks rally his team on several occasions.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: It's been uncanny to watch him do it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: We saw him do it against the New York Football
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Giants a game in which the Broncos were down nineteen. Correct,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: they were down nineteen, and he rallied his team in
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. And I remember the game. The last
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: time a Broncos quarterback rallied his team down nineteen in
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. Was John Elway in his rookie season
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: against the Colts of all teams, yep, and they want
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: twenty one nineteen? Do you have the the Lway sound?
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: When I asked him about Bo Nixon, what character trait
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: is needed for a quarterback to rally his team.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: I think it's just being a great competitor and feeling like,
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: you know what you know once you know, as long
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: as there's time left on the clock, you know you
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: always have a chance to win. I think the attitude
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: that you know, you feel like you always have a chance.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: And the second thing is a being a great competitor.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: And I think that's what Bo has and I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: that's why you know, he's going to continue to grow
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: and he's getting you know, he's he's under launch pad
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: to be in a great quarterback in this league for
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: a long time.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: He believes it. Do you think that's just him talking.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Do you think always just saying that to be nice,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: or do you think he believes it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: I think he believes it. That sounded to me like
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: he believes it. And we didn't have enough time with
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: John this morning. We had twenty minutes for Krenta a lot,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: but it seems like, you know, you could ask a
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: billion questions.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: He could have been an in studio for three hours.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ask him about his and you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: he owned it. He owned the end of his tenure
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: as the GM, and he said in the documentary it
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: was time and so on. But do you have those
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: regrets because I know for a fact he liked Josh Allen. No,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: for a fact, he liked Justin Herbert. But after the
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Paxton Lynch thing, man, I don't think he was going
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: to go that route anymore. I think because when you
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: miss on a first round quarterback, it hurts. I wanted
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: to ask him if he had any regrets about some
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: of the decisions at GM in terms of the draft,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: because that Paxton Lynch was obviously.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Was a total disaster.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. Yeah, I'm sure, yeah, I mean,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: how could you not?
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: But at the time, I mean, but if he says,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: he might could say, but you know, at the time, honestly,
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: our scouts and everybody else we thought it was a
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: really damn good pick. It's just that guy never panned out.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Guy never could could get it.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: If there's one thing we all have is regrets? Correct?
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Is that correct?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: No?
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Rugrats?
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: We all have them. We all deal with them differently,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: and they they all look so easy in hindsight.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I totally get it. Yes, sorry, I
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: have two things going on in my ear. No regrats. Yes, yes, yes,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I know. Okay, Vick, I'm listening. Sorry.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying is we all have them, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: it depends on how you look at it. I mean, clearly,
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I think the way John's tenure ended as a GM,
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: it didn't end the way he had hoped, but he
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: still produced a Super Bowl championship and a Super Bowl appearance.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: How many GMS have done that? How many gms in
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: this league right now? Current gms have been at two
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Super Bowls in one at least one of them. And
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: shut them up and chef, he pointed it out, count
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: them up for me right now.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: He's the only man ever who won a Super Bowl
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: as a player, player and a GM.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Ever, I asked John about that piece of advice he
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: brought up that his dad gave him, because every once
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: in a while in life, you'll get something that somebody
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: hits you with a saying a phrase, and certainly, as
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a professional athlete, you're inundated with, you know, motivational phrases
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: and sayings all the time by a gazillion different coaches.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: But I thought the point he made you're gonna have
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: to do things you don't want to do in life,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: but it's your attitude when you're doing them that determines
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: how you'll do. Man. You know how many people trip
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: themselves up because they don't grasp that concept. I mean,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: really like, you gotta do the best you can and
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: all you can do is the best you can and yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and look, I mean, I'm sure he painted that to
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: fit his own narrative within the documentary, and I'm sure
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: made it flattering to himself, because I mean that was
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: kind of the tone of this dock. It didn't really
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: get into any of the hard stuff except the Reeves
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: and l Way dynamic and of course his sister. But
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I feel like you look around
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: and there's so many people who lament different things. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do this. I don't want to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: do that. I want to drive hero.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: You know, life's gonna suck, but it's your attitude when
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you're dealing with that, and that goes a long way
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: as a champion. That's how you weather adversity.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wish my attitude were better during adversity. MA
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: attitude sucks during adversity.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: But I mean even, but that's kind of what I'm saying,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: is like, even somebody like you, and I think, is
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: there a shred of truth in that or not?
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: What what you just said?
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: No, it's the truth. I wish. I wish I had
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: that kind of poise during adversity. I wish That's why
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: it's a special trait what Bo has and what he's
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: displayed and what La had for his entire career. When
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: you're down fourteen points, you're still nothing affects you. Your
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: heartbeat is still slow, your pulse is still normal, You're
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: not over. I don't have that. Most of us don't,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: do you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I try as best I can. I mean, sure, we're
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: all human, we all have our own moments. But I
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: don't want to get up for work today, but you know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: might as well do it with the best attitude, because
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: what else. I mean, this stay is just gonna suck.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I just think this day is gonna suck. So this
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: stay just sucks. No, you got to You gotta control
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: some of that mentally, I think, and I think, especially
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: for a champion at the top of their field, that's
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: so important.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I had a buddy tell me some years ago, still
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: true to this day, you are in charge of your
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: own happiness. Yep, period, period, end of story. You are
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: in charge of your own happiness. You don't need anybody
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: else to make you happy, you don't need things to
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: You're in charge of your own happiness. And if you
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: go through your life with that kind of mentality, I
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: think you're gonna be a happier person, a better person.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: I think maybe not, maybe not.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: I mean some people like to blame and figure point
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: all this kind of thing.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: You're in charge of.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Your own happiness right absolutely his story.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: The only reason I brought it up with him is
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: because clearly so much of that docum menory was about
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: family and about the relationship that he had with his father.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And you heard his sister even talking about what Jack
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Elway was like around the house and how winning, you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: determined his mood and if they lost, then everybody'd be
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: real quiet, and you know it would be a much
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: tougher time in the house. Well, John's kids said the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: same thing. They said the same thing about what it
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: was like when John was playing the life of a
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: coach's kid. I mean, that's another parallel that I drew
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to bo.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Hey in that last thing for me on that documentary
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: when when he was talking, when Jack Elway was talking
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: and in his his wife was there, his wife Janets
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: sitting right there and he's talking about, you know, with
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: the boys, and da da da da da da da
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: dhi uh. And then they zoomed the camera in on
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: her face. You could tell there's there's a little pain there, right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's very revealing because you these guys
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: are always at the at the field, they're always in
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: the you know, they're always watching film, they're always doing it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Just but it's that generation too. You're right. The women
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: had to sacrifice to make the home.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And you could it all over her face. It was
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: a fascinating what it really was.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: It was. I think, who do you say, Kenny Rogers?
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: I guess is the guy's name not.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: He's the guy that directed it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he did a great job, really good job.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Five to seven four five. Let me just answer the question,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: didn't Azzie knew some win Super Bowls as a player
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: in a GM. No Ozzy knew some played for Cleveland.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: He's the guy that was persecuted by John Elway and
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: the Broncos every year he won as a GM then
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: not as a player. Elway is the first and only.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: By the way. That keyword again for this hour for
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: tickets to Abs and Kings on the twenty ninth is bottleneck.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Text that to three zho three five be four oh
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: nine to two five winner coming up in the next segment.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: We'll get back and wrap up a Tuesday before Christmas.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: On the other side, Mostion Lombardy and kan on Alt
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Dude Sports Radio ninety two five, A congratulations is in order, gentlemen,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: A big congratulations is in order to a member of
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: our Kroncky family, and that's the Colorado Rapids, who have
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: zeroed in on their new head coach. First team assistant
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: coach Matt Wells of the Tottenham Hotspurs has been hired
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: as the new head coach of your soccer team, football team.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Very very cool stuff, very real stuff.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, he's coming from Tottenham.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Coming from across the pond.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: That's pretty cool.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Just two hours ago.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just did huge hire. Just happened, big deal, very
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: very cool stuff. And I saw what was it the
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Denver Summit. We had a big event. The women's National
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Women's Soccer League had a big event the other day
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: and kind of like announcing where their stuff's going to
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: be and everything.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: So very cool Stuff's going down.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Man, Denver, it's a place to be.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: It's going down.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: It's the absolute place to be, all right. So it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: a back to back tonight in Dallas for the Nuggets
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and we talked about it. Huge win last night over
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: the magic. You know. I gotta say I was doing
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the math here. If Jamal Murray's not an All Star
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: this year, then knock me over with the feather because
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no way with the numbers he's putting up.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I just I don't see how you leave him off.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: Well, he's gonna have competition in the form of Laurie Markinen,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: who is averaging twenty. I'm just telling you, no, you're right, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: continue Denny Advia of Portland. Ye, he catches a break
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: because Franz Wagner is now hurt. Uh listen, I don't
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: care what you say about this kid. But he's an
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: All Star. The center in Houston is an All Star.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Shng Gun.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Shanegun's an All Star. He's playing at an all Star capacity.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree. You gotta but but Jamal's the top
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: twenty score in the league right now.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I think I think Jamal is in too. All I'm
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: telling you is what emerges is these other players who
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: played for worst teams that have better numbers for some reason.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: But if you if you put Jamal Murray on on
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: a bad team, his numbers would thrive, His numbers would flourish.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Usage, Yeah, no question about it, just like MPJ in Brooklyn. No,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt. So goodwin for the Nuggets. They're in Dallas,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and then I guess they've got, you know, a brief
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: day off before a Christmas Christmas Day game at you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: know the final Listen.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: I know they played a night, but that game on
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: Christmas Night against Minnesota, Minnesota, you know ant Man is
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: gonna get up for that game. It's a national stage.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Everybody should be up for that one.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: And and the Nuggets are going to be about two
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: starters again, and they're they're already two and zero against Minnesota.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: They've beaten them twice in their barn. That will be
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: a difficult game. Te pups are playing pretty these listen
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: to that will be a difficult game. They're mad you've
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: beaten them twice at their place, and you're missing to
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: your best defensive players.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, on the text line, and since we
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: had this conversation, I do want to bring this up because.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I thought real quickly one nine of their last eleven.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: But that's why it'll be fun. Christmas Day is supposed
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: to be a test, even without multiple starters. And now
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: that you know, I look, hopefully the Broncos take care
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: of business in the first half so we can all
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: shift our attention primarily to nuggets as the Broncos, you know,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: move one step closer towards clinching the West and the
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: AFC in general. But I did want to bring up
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: this text because as we were having that last conversation,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I thought about it. You guys saying you're in control
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: of your own happiness clearly doesn't understand mental health issues.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And we were talking about the Lway documentary, which which
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: dropped on Netflix yesterday, and I respect what this person saying.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I would say to that person if you feel like
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: you're not in control of your own happiness, reach out
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: to friends, reach out to family, if you have the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: means or the resources. Don't be afraid to seek professional
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: help either, because I think there's plenty of people who
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: we just pass by in life and don't really talk to,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: and those people are all struggling. We all deal with
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: our own stuff. I know, Vic, you're dealing with stuff, mos,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I know you're dealing with I'm dealing with stuff. Everybody
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: has their own.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Stuff, absolutely, I mean, if you've got serious issues of
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: that nature.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: But don't be afraid to reach out to people. People
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: are there to help.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Also, if you go through life looking for things to
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: be miserable about, that's on you.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what we were saying, is that it's
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a choice at the end of the day. Now, if
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you're struggling to make that choice, then absolutely seek some
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: seek some assistance there. And sure there's plenty of things
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: that can happen. But I did want to address that
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: because I thought about that too, So no question about it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Really great documentary. Once again, Vic, that was an awesome
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: interview that you brought up. And have you decided tomorrow
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: will the Grinch be joining us for Christmas.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: I doubt I'll be with you guys, because my wife
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: has some plans that I've got to partake in, so
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: this will be my last show. Okay, let me let
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: me say this Friday.
• 37:43

• 37:50
  Speaker 5: She's gonna sleep until eight.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: But she can wake up next to her husband.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: She probably doesn't want to do that either.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Okay, listen, I will work tomorrow, but I want that
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: day off then some other time. I'm gonna I'm taking
• 38:03

• 38:44
  Speaker 2: dipper roo. Tonight we've got alves and nugs And that
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: is pregame at five point thirty. It's on a nine
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: fifty powered by Ramo's Law, Joined Cause and the broadcast
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: down in Dallas. And if you want to check in
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: on the Avs, you keep it right here two five
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: pre game six thirty, also powered by ramos Law. And briefly,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: since it is the Avs and the Mammoth, which do
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: we how do we feel about the mammoth name that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: they landed on Utah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: I don't like the effected to the mammoth because we
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: have our own mammoth here.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I think the logo's kind of cool.
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that the state of Utah gotta figure
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: they've stolen two names that don't befit them, the Utah
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Jazz in Salt La. Give me a break, give up
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: the name, and then this mammoth thing that's already belongs
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: to another team.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I figure it out. Although I will tell you this,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of that owner, Ryan Smith.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's an he's he's a go go do it
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: takes chances.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: When you get new owners into the league, that's the
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: type of guy you want, somebody who's really trying to
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: promote the game and trying to do everything. I saw
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: that they were building a bunch of outdoor rinks around
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Utah to try and promote the game. And plus he's
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a hooper too. Yeah. Oh, big time, big time, huge
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: basketball guy. So very cool and anyway, I just wanted
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: to bring that up. But with without further ado moj jingle, jingle, show.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: What average guys to wear.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: It's the Johnsonado Plaza cheese to the game. Johnsonado Plaza
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: experienced the power of the Plaza when they had the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Keys to Performance in style with Ram Jeep, Chevy, Pwick
• 40:11
