  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Vic asked the question, are you excited about Bo Nix?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And I said yes. Well, no, I'm not excited. What
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I am is I'm happy. Content? More than content, but yes,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: that fits. Happy. I like him. All of these things
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: are true, but to say, are you excited, that adds
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: another level to the conversation, the situation. So I'm not, quote, excited,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and then people are jumping on me. I don't know
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: why people like Tobias. Or could I call– it's Tobias. Anyway,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: so I don't like what you said about my quarterback. Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't say anything bad about your quarterback. I'm not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: anti-Bo Nix at all. I mean, I'm pro-Bo Nix. I'm
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: just not, oh, my God, I'm excited about Bo Nix.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not at that level yet.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Is that what you meant?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: By the Bo Nix thing? You seem like you're upset
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: that people– As a majority disagreed with your opinion on this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Brett, there was a time in this town. This is
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: what amazes me, Vic. You know as well as anybody. Brett,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you weren't here. But there was a time in your town,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in this town, if you said, you know what? I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just don't think Tim Tebow is going to be a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: long-term NFL quarterback. And people were ready to slash your
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: tires and call you every name. You're the dumbest M
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: blank on the planet.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: What would Tim Tebow do right now?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Can I read you some of this? Sure. Vic, can
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I read you some of this, please? Because you're the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: one that asked the question. Here's some of the responses
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that we got. Has that guy ever watched him? He's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: too flashy, if anything. Is Bo Nix too flashy?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That's one of the responses. Bo Nix is especial. He's especial.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Not exciting or flashy? Ridiculous argument anyway. It's his third year.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: What a way to tell people you haven't actually watched
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Nick's play. What's the definition of exciting? He checks most
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of the boxes, in my opinion. He's a winner and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he's clutch, and that's exciting. There's no scenario where someone
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: can have actually watched any significant amount of his career
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and come to the conclusion that he's not exciting. L-M-F-A-O.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: He's laughing his bleeping butt off.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: With all due respect... Mosier might be a blank, blank idiot.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Nix isn't flashy.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Do respect.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: News to anyone who's ever watched him as a pro,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: makes something out of nothing consistently, and has been one
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of the most prolific big play passers since entering the league.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know how insulting he's going to make this
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: a better segment.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Like, Caleb Williams is flashy. He's not flashy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Last one. Last one, Vic. This is bait. Not only
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: is he clutch, but he's a scrambler with a deep
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: ball as well. Grow up.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I will say, I will grow up, Moj. When I
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: ask the question, how can you not be excited about
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix? I want you to know what it's going
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to feel like around September 13th.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: That is a Sunday. That is the opening day of
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: the NFL.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: And then the next day, the Broncos play September 14th.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: You don't think you're going to be walking around Denver
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: All Bronco fans saying, God, I can't wait for Bo
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Nix against Patrick Mahomes tonight.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: That is going to be exciting. That's going to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: fun to watch.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I cannot wait.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: That's the definition of exciting. What more do you want?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: What's your problem?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Vic, you're missing the point. You aren't.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: If he's missing the point and I'm missing the point,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: nobody's missing the point. You aren't clarifying your point.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what your point is.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Let me clarify my point then. Am I excited about
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix? Okay, am I excited about... What's your point?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: What's your point?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Am I excited about Marty Natchez? No, because he is
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: who he is. Can Marty Natchez be excited?
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Marty Natchez is exciting.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: He's about as exciting and flashy. He's as flashy as
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: they come.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know what language are you speaking.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I know what this is.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Exciting is a candlelight visual of the Def Leppard cover bands.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: That's exciting to him. That's exciting.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, you just said out of all people in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the apps, Marty Natchez isn't the exciting. Marty Natchez is
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: incredibly exciting. He skates backwards into the zone.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: How long have you been this dumb?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I know you've been dumb, but this dumb, how long
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: has it been? Serenity now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Mojo, do you mean Bo Nix isn't that like flashy, cocky?
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: He's not Baker Mayfield. He's not going to throw a
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: touchdown and then like grab his junk and plant the
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: flag at midfield.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: He's not that kind of guy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: No. Like, what do you mean by this?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: You're missing the point.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I've been trying to get you to tell me the point.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well, if you'd shut your pie hole, I'll explain. It's shut.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Can Bo Nix be exciting? You're damn right he can.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I've seen it. He's excited me. Vic, I explained to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you that I haven't jumped off my couch about a
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: quarterback in years, and he's made me jump off my couch.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You're damn right he can be exciting. He has exciting plays.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: When I watch him run with the football and I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: watch his feet, that's exciting.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: But?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But am I excited about him?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Nelly, Nelly, Nelly.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Those are two different things, you idiots.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Let's do this a different way. Don't need to lash
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: out at me because you're making your point poorly. Who
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: in the NFL fits that bill? Whatever you're talking about then,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: who are you talking about?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: If I thought that Bo Nix was going to turn
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: into Josh Allen, I'd be excited about Bo Nix.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, give me another one.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: If I thought Bo Nix was going to throw for 5,000
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: yards and 42 touchdowns, I'd be excited.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you're saying he's not an elite quarterback yet.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not excited about him, but he can do very
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: exciting things.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Did you go to school?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: This makes no sense.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I don't understand the school.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: What did you learn?
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: What did they teach you at Sac State?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: If you're just saying he's not as good as Josh
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Allen yet, I think it would be like, yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: He's not as good as Stafford or Mahomes yet. Yes, agreed.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: But he plays an exciting brand of football. The issue
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that he's had... Does he really? I think he does.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Does he really?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: He doesn't play exciting for three quarters, but that fourth
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: quarter is pretty dang exciting, Moj.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: It's exciting with inconsistencies in the middle of it. Is
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that what you're.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Trying to say?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: You guys are being way too detailed here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: The question I'm just trying to figure out what he said.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to help him. I'm trying to help our boys.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Moses lost Moses. It's a simple question.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, you guys excited about Bo Nix this year?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, delve deeper into that. Give me
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: 10 minutes. I'm going to go into the production studio
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: with no windows and touch myself. That's how excited I am.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you want me? Is that what you
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: want from me? What do you want from me?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: What do you want from me? You want me to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: do cartwheels? I mean, what do you want from me?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: My wife, my wife, this is like arguing with my
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: wife about something that is, like last night we went
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: to go watch, you know, she.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Wanted to go to the movie.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Here's another great big story.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Do it. Well, I have to veer off the road
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: because you make, you're so illogical right now that I
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: have to veer off the road. We went to go
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: watch the new Spider-Man movie and I, I'm not into cartoons.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: And she was so mad, so mad at me that
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: I did not know who Tom Holland and Zendaya.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Who are they? I didn't know who they were. She's like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: you don't know who they are?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: They just got married.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I go, who are they?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I have no idea who Zendaya is and Tom Holland.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I have no idea who these people are.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: She was so mad.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: She said, I want you to ask that question to
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Moj and Kane and everybody else. And I guarantee you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: going to look stupid.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: So I will ask you. Do you know who Tom
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Holland and Zazaya are?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Do I know who they are?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've seen any of the movies that
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: either one has been in.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: That is also correct.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Did you know they were married?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I knew they were together.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I had no clue.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I knew they were together.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't have... This is not in my database.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I don't follow Tom Holland news.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, can I address something here? Texture says, if two-yard
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: dump-offs are exciting, then Boa is your guy. I really need,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: this is another one where I feel like I am
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: in the middle of two really dumb arguments, which one
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: faction of people says that Bo Nix is some sort
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: of check down, dump off artist, and that's how he
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: gets his yards.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He is not that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And the other side is saying that Bo Nix is
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: some elite deep ball thrower, and he's not that either.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Here's what Bo Nix is. He is at the moment
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a very high floor quarterback, with an unknown ceiling that
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: for now seems to be lower than you'd like. He
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: is your, again, a good quarterback who is not great yet,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: who could get too great, could get there. And I
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: think with the addition of a highly athletic weapon like
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Jalen Waddell in the offseason, you could see his game
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: take a jump. But all the Bo Nix stuff, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: think it's pretty simple. What does he as a quarterback?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: He's fine.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: He's good.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I would put him in the same category as I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: would put a Sam Darnold, or a Brock Purdy, or
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a Jalen Hurts, and you know what people are going
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to say? They're going to say, oh, really? Two quarterbacks
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: who won Super Bowls? And they're the same people that
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: are like, if Bo Nix played in the AFC championship game,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the Broncos would be in the Super Bowl. The team
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: is good enough, just like with Sam Darnold, Seattle was
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: good enough around him to where would anybody trade, would
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: you call Sam Darnold a bona fide top 10 quarterback
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in the league? No, I don't think you would. Could
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: he be? Like, at times he plays like he is.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But you wouldn't say that about him. But you're capable
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: of winning a Super Bowl with that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Listen, I don't fancy myself as some sort of genius.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Although I am. But I don't fancy myself that. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I'm open to interpretation. I am open to being convinced.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I'm open to full-on discussion about anything you want regarding
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: this quarterback. But what I can't understand is how my
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: position is so alarming to people.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Because you've explained it poorly. I don't know how else
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to say it to you. I still don't know exactly
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I've explained it perfectly. There's a difference between being excited
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and something can be exciting. That's all I'm saying.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: All right, Grandpa, let's get you to bed.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's about to happen. All the kiddies
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: out there going to school, earmuffs, earmuffs. Vic, I know
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: where you live. Nelly, I know where you are. Brett,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you want some? I'm about to beat some ass. That's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: what's about to happen. Really? Not really, but it sounded tough.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I thought Vic was reaching for a weapon right there.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's going to get his Harry Potter wand.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I did. I went for my wand.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: He's going to put a spell on me.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I went for my wand.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: What are you going to do now, sucker?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: You want to be in Kansas City when Denver opens

• 13:43
  Speaker 6: did the voiceover work on that last spot.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know if this guys, if this ever happens
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: to you guys, when I was saying the word battle,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I didn't know I was overthinking it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: I was going, do I hit the T really hard?
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Do I need to emphasize the B? And so I
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: do these takes where I was like, battle, battle, battle.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: And I would end up saying it 30 times. And
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: by the end I was going, is this even a word? Well,
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: like you say it so much that eventually it doesn't
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: sound real anymore.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I think people know it's battle.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Battle.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: You know how to spell it. Battle.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Battle.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Um, I have a couple things here. Number one, watching
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the Rockies last night, they dominate the Nats. The Nats
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: are also not a very good baseball team, but a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: grand slam by Connor Norby pretty much shut the door
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: on any hopes of a comeback. Cole Carrick homered last night,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: as did Hunter Goodman, his 36th home run of the season.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So that puts the Rockies at 52 wins on the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: year only. What are we at now?
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: 11 away?
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: 11 wins away from not 100 losses on the year?
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: You'd like that, wouldn't you?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I would really like that, actually. So the Rockies try
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and keep that going as they play again today against
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the Nats, the getaway game at 11 o'clock this morning.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: So the Rocks update is Connor Norby, since being called up,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: by the way, playing pretty well. I like him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Did you see Jonathan Kaminga found a home?
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: That's the other thing I wanted to talk about.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I don't, from a Nuggets perspective, I don't know what
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Minnesota is going to be because they have a lot
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: of young sort of firecracker players who they can get
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: out of hand, but they're also very talented. And I
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: don't think we in Denver are in a position to
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: assume that you can beat Minnesota considering having been able
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: to beat Minnesota in the playoffs.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: That team got better with Jonathan Kaminga.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like, for that reason, I don't like this.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Kaminga is a, he's sort of Peyton Watson-ish where it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like he's got a ceiling to him that you don't
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: really know what it is.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: He's only 23.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: He's young.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: They needed a big.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, they shipped out Julius Randle. Nas Reed left
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: this offseason. They went very guard heavy with the trade
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: for LaMelo. They needed to have a big. Here's what
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: blows me away, though. Kaminga's making only half a milli
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: more a year than Spencer Jones?
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I don't understand NBA salaries anymore. I just don't understand it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Going back to the Benedict Matherin deal with New Orleans,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: two years ago, less than two years ago, last year,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the word on the street was Jonathan Kaminga did not
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: want a three-year $ 70 million extension with Golden State.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: He passed on that. He said, now I can do better.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Three years, $ 70 million. He could do better than three years,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: 70 million. And now he's signing two years, 13. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: what happened? Either his agent let him down or I
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: don't understand the sport anymore.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I don't get it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: So just to be clear, Peyton Watson, who again, you're
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the person speaking right now, the two here right now
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: is somebody that is as, as bullish on Peyton Watson
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: as anybody's going to be.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I am that guy, but for him to be making
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: $ 22 million a year over four years, Benedict Matherin to
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: be making eight over two, and Kaminga to be making
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: six and a half over two.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: It makes no sense.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Seems very odd.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: It makes no sense.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Very.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: It makes no sense. It makes zero sense. Now, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: can say what you want about Peyton Watson. I'm glad
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: he got his bag. But you cannot tell me he's
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: that much better than Kaminga and Benedict Matherin.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Kaminga's kind of, I mean, I guess he's dipped a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: little bit since his, you know, early start with Golden State.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: He hasn't played all that much the last couple years. Yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the last couple years, he hasn't played a bunch, Vic.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: He's had bone bruises and tweaked ankles. Yeah, so it's like,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: you know, if I was a team, I'd be like, dude,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: you played 70 games your rookie year, 67, and then
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you played 74 games. And then you haven't come close since.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: So you better prove to me that you can actually
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: get on the dang floor if I'm going to pay
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you big money.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: But that's, Vic's right about this, Samoj. Minnesota got better
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: with him.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Well, they filled the need. They filled the need.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: They basically needed an extra forward because their starting five
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: is pretty damn good.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Heck, their top six is pretty damn good. Look at
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: their top six.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to, but look at my computer screen. ESPN
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: has now eliminated most of the league from their NBA.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on here.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I went to their NBA tab, and there's only like
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: 10 teams on here.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Maybe they know something we don't.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Half are going to.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Europe, okay?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Is that NBA Europe is just taking all these teams?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Here's what's left. In the Atlantic Division, there's the 76ers
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and the Raptors. In the Southwest, it's the Grizz, Pelicans,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and Spurs. In the Central, it's just the Bulls. In
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the Northwest, it's the Blazers and Jazz. In the Southeast,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it's just the Hornets. In the Pacific, it's the Warriors, Clippers,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and Suns. That's all the teams that we have now
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: in the NBA.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Let me give you the top six for Minnesota, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: you tell me if this is pretty good. LaMelo Ball
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: is obviously new there. Anthony Edwards is the shooting guard.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: They've got Ayo Dusumnu, who put 40 on the Nuggets
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: in the playoffs. Jaden McDaniels, enough said. And Rudy Gobert.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: And now Jonathan Kaminga is an extra. They can either
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: bring Kaminga off the bench. They could start Kaminga, bring
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Dusumnu off the bench. I don't know. But that's their
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: six-man rotation. After that, they got the likes of Terrence
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Shannon Jr. We saw a little bit of him. They
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: got Bones, who's a backup point guard. They've got, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the bench gets really thin really fast in Minnesota, like
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of benches.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: But that rotation of six, pretty good.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Pretty good. Yeah, I don't know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It weirded me out.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: And not to mention Dante DiVincenzo, who's out, obviously, with
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: the issue.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Half a million dollars more than Spencer Jones per year.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Just weird to me. So the NFL has axed the
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowl.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: It's done.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: It's over.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: What has it been the last few years?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Junk.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, though, Vic. Totally agree. But I
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: never thought they would get rid of the Pro Bowl
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: because the Pro Bowl is still probably the most watched
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: show on television that day. I don't know how many...
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I looked up the ratings. Now, last year was different.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowl viewership by year. The reason I thought it
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: would never go away is because, did you know in 2024,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the ratings for the Pro Bowl were 5.8 million viewers.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Nothing on TV that day did more than 5.8.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Guaranteed.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: But why?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Hang on. 2025, it was 4.7 million viewers.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: But why?
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I guarantee nothing on TV did more than that that day.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Last year was two.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: In each year, viewership has dropped to the point to
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: where you got to 2 million. I don't even know
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: if they're making money off 2 million viewers.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe they still are a little bit, but here becomes
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: the real problem, and I think this is what the
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: NFL was struggling with. Do you know who was a
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowl quarterback last year? He had a 56% completion percentage.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: He threw for 1,400 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 10 picks.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Jaduer Sanders. Pro Bowl used to mean something. When Jeff Legwald,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: who we'll talk to at 9 o'clock, gets into these
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame committee meetings and they start bringing up
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: reasons why this guy should be a Hall of Famer,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: they use Pro Bowls in those discussions. Hey, this guy
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: made nine Pro Bowls in 13 years in the league.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: They're still going to name Pro Bowl players. You understand that.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: But this is the point. Doing it this way, there's
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: no replacements anymore. The pro bowlers are the pro bowlers.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Like getting rid of the game.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Here's your pro bowlers.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: It's like naming the all-star team without actually playing the game.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: It's the same deal. Obviously that's what this version is,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: but the pro bowl game itself, it was more than
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: just the game. I used to, I went to like
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: several pro bowls back in the day and I was
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: at the pro bowl where Peyton Manning was still playing
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: for the Colts and representing the Broncos at that pro
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: bowl was Jay Cutler. And they threw Jay Cutler in
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: the pool, sort of like a, Not.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: A hazing exercise, sort of a welcome to the Pro
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Bowl moment.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: And he was wearing his contraption that he just got
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: for his diabetes.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: And it was, yeah, I was like, uh-oh. Anyway, the
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowl was a, hey, remember how you heard Carmelo
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: talk about get together with the guys, camaraderie?
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That's what it was. Well, because what happened was.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: That's what it was.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: It was get together in Honolulu.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: All the boys.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Let's chill.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: And let's play this little fake football game on the side.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: We'll have fun.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: But it's not about the game.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: It's about taking our families to Honolulu on the NFL's dime.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: We'll stay at this exotic hotel. We'll have a great
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: time on the beach. We'll party at night. We'll drink Budweiser's.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: And then we'll play this game.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: That's exactly correct.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: It went away from that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: They took everybody to Hawaii, Brett. And it was a big...
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Hawaii would be different. For all the players in the families,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: it was a big... I mean, it was a week-long
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: vacation basically for free.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: That's all it was.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: But then it was a chance to, yeah, I mean,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and guys wanted to go. They wanted to be there.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Then when you started to get into, oh, we're going
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to do it in Orlando, everybody's like, I don't give
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a rat's rip about that crap. As soon as they
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: left Hawaii and said, we're going to do it stateside, boom, gone.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And guys just, I mean, you ask Atwater, go look
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: at some of these games back in the day.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, Chad, we just talked to Chad Brown a couple
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. These guys would really love the Pro Bowl.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they loved it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Look up Rod Smith Pro Bowl.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Look up Rod Smith and look at the hit that
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Rod Smith took in the Pro Bowl. And this must
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: have been 1997.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seven.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Look it up.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Try and find it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, Texture says, so Shador killed the Pro Bowl.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Shador is just the last in a long line of,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: if you remember in 2022, do you know who made
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl in 2022 as a quarterback? Tyler Huntley,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: who threw for 658 yards and two touchdowns that year.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I think Trevor Simeon made the Pro Bowl one year.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I just looked it up. It's most obscure Pro Bowlers.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: There was a Bronco in 2001 that is on that list.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Most obscure Pro Bowlers, being guys who did not... Have
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: a bunch of numbers and accolades.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Put your thinking cap on. 2001.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: It's an offensive player, not a quarterback.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Okay. Is it a lineman?
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Was a former lineman.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Turned tight end?
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Turned tight end.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sniffing up the right tree.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, you are.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Vic, help me.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: 2001.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Was he a tight end turned lineman?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he went the other way. Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Who was the lineman turned tight end?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Let's just go the other way.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of this guy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Well, just give me his name.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Dwayne Carswell? Yes!
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Dwayne Carswell. House.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: So he made the Pro Bowl in 2001, and that
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: was a year in which he had 34 catches and
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: 299 yards.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: My man.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Two things killed the Pro Bowl. Two things.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Because, again, I remember how much fun it was. They
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: changed the date. It used to be after everything was done, okay?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: And when it was all said and done, people just unwinded.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Everybody was fine. Then they changed it to the week
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: before the Super Bowl, and they took it out of Hawaii.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Hawaii didn't want it anymore. They weren't making money. They
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: didn't get enough fans to go there to watch the game.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Nobody's going to go there. They got some fans, but
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: not enough.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And every year, Vic, there was some clown on TV, Brett,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: with his shirt off and his jammed shorts. And he
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: had a son that said, hi, mom, right? Yeah. Hi, mom,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: send snow.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Ha, ha, ha.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Every year, some clown had a hi, mom, send snow
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: sign on television. But anyway, but they used to really play. Vic,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what also killed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: The Pro Bowl.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Guys are making so much money that you cannot risk.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: When Robert Edwards tore up his knee in that sand pit,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: That sand flag football game. Yeah, and that was part
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: of Pro Bowl week. Yeah, he blew his knee up.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: The guys were like, we're not doing this. We're not
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: risking a damn thing. Because I've got a $ 15 million
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a year contract.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: So in Oahu, there was this golf course across the
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: street from the hotels where we all had access to
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: this golf course. And all the players and anybody who
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: loved golf, I'd go play every damn day.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Who was the pass rusher? that played for the Chiefs
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: at the end of his career. Before that, I believe
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: he was with Minnesota. He's a Hall of Famer.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Why is his name?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Jared Allen?
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Jared Allen.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: He showed up, played golf, and he ended up in
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: our foursome. Played the round without a shirt. Took his
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: shirt off.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Just enjoying it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: It was the greatest round of golf I've ever been
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: a part of because the guy's so much fun. And
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: he was just running around. And that's what the Pro
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Bowl was. It was about having fun. It wasn't about
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I can attest to this, Vic. I hate the Vikings.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: He's one of the few guys that I liked in
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: the Vikings.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: He was a cool dude.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: He's a cool guy. He did the little paddle roping
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: thing after every sack until the NFL said he can't
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I think he's a real cowboy. Isn't he from Dallas?
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I think he is, yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Now, if I was sports dictator of the world, would
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: you be on board with me making this decree, this
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: official sports decree? All-star games are all done except for baseball.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: I don't disagree.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Baseball can do the all-star game. They can do the
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: home run derby. All the other sports, you're done with it.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I'm a basketball guy.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: It's the only thing that resembles the actual game.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I'm a basketball guy.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: You guys know me.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: I can't stand the NBA all-star game. I think it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: a complete waste of time.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And their U.S. versus the world thing didn't work last year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: You know, for a couple guys, Wemby got into it,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: but not enough guys were invested.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Hell, Joker was not invested in that game.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Because I was trying to explain to people before this
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: thing happened. I'm like, dude, it's going to be different
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: this year because they're doing U.S.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Versus the world.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The four nations. They're playing for their countries, not for
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: something called the world.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't. I still like the hockey
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: all-star game is a joke to Moj.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I know. Listen, I still like the. I like
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: the skills competition in hockey. I like to watch guys
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: skate fast and stick it all in. But it's no,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: it really is.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I've killed them all. I'm already the dictator motion.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: There's no, there's.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Look at the size of that kid.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: You know, Brett, you make a point, especially since a
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: lot of these games are midseason. Do you think an
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: NBA player is going to go as hard as possible
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: and risk injury in February when the playoff run is coming?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Are you crazy?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Are you crazy?
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: And I know people are going to say, well, what
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: about the old days when they really went hard? And
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: these ain't the old days anymore. They're not doing it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: They're not.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: MLB All-Star Game and Home Run Derby. Those things are
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the only things that exist still that I will allow
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: in my sports world. And here's the other thing. Like,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: this stuff is important too. You know what makes baseball
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: a little bit different with their All-Star game? Those guys
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: want to be there. They enjoy the All-Star weekend. They
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: like doing that stuff. I don't think in any other sport, Moj,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: if the guys weren't forced to do it, would they
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: even go? Like, would McKinnon want to go to the
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: All-Star game?
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Probably not.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Joker doesn't want to go to the NBA All-Star game.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Trust me, he's there.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: The greatest All-Star weekend I've ever seen, and it was
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: actually two weeks.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Was what hockey gave us. Well, the Four Nations.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: The Four Nations is the greatest event I've ever seen.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: But you can't.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Do that every year.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I know, but I'm just saying.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: That was essentially All-Star weekend, right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Sure. That's what it was.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Did they have an All-Star game that year as well?
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: No. No. Okay.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: So that served as the All-Star weekend.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Rick. Yeah. Put the wand down.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Stop pointing at me, Voldemort.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not a believer in magic. But with that in
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: your hand, it's sort of weird. Put the wand.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, listen. All-star weekend has served its purpose.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Your knife is better, yes.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Cut them all. They're all done. Except for baseball. 303-504-0925.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Look how cool this looks.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: These guys are playing the old school Pro Bowl in 93.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And you have your AFC and your NFC, but everybody's
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: wearing their own helmet. Those are the good old days, man.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: That's the one thing about baseball, by the way. Let
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the guys wear the hats of their teams with the uniforms.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Do that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Moshe, how about this? Is that a pencil?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Is that a number two?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: What does it say?
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Augusta.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Gee, come on.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Augusta National Golf Club.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You stole a pencil from Augusta? Nailed it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Never allowed back. Did you just smell that? All right,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: back after this. Oh, by the way, stories around sports
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: in the world, we feel like you should be aware of.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Jeff Lightwild's going to join us in 15 minutes, but
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: did you guys see.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: What the Denver Broncos are doing at their home games
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: this year. They're selling large food item. Beast in a
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: blanket mosh. It's a two-foot grilled hot dog with barbecue
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: brisket burnt ends, goat cheese, sharp cheddar, puff pastry, crispy onions,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: jalapeno slices, avocado crema, and mile-high secret sauce.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Is that a mosher thing?
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: So, come on, I need to ask a serious question here.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I know it's all dressed up.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Is that like for a party of four? One human
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: can't eat that, right? That's not for one human to devour,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: is it?
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: No, no, that's not.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Like, who eats that?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but like,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: who says, oh yeah, I gotta have some of that?
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's like a party, I don't know, what?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Mojoo and me could probably, it's a foot-long hot dog.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: It's one six-footer I can't handle. Hey, girls, you want
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to party?
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I think, Mos, you and me, if we just cut
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: that down the middle, we could get through that, you
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: and me.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, a foot long with all that stuff,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, it would take me a while probably. But, yeah, listen,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: any human who could get through this thing on their
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: own probably shouldn't. And I don't care how big you are.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Unless you're a 6'5, 320-pound tackle, then you can house that,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: no problem. But for normal humans like you and me,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: but I tell you what, Vic, I would eat the snot.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Out of that.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: It does look good.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: It looks terrific.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: It does?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Seriously? Yes, it does.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: I think it does.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: It's two feet long, so you guys would each split
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: it up and take one foot. You guys think you
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: can handle that?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: A foot-long hot dog? Yeah, I mean, I could if
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I was really hungry. It'd take me a while.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I think so. I could do it. I could do it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't even take a bite of that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: But it's just, look, man, it's a hot dog with
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: some barbecue brisket on there, and that's it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: How about a good beet salad?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, you and your, Vic wants the nectarine stand inside
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: of Mile High.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Honest to God, if you gave me the choice, and
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I speak to you now, Denver Broncos, be the first
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: to pull this off. Instead of giving me this ridiculous
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: fat fest is what it is, how about a fruit stand.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: At Mile High Stadium?
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: A nice fruit stand. Watermelon.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Nectarines, peaches.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to throw some raspberries up there,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: offer fruit for your fans.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I got to be honest, Vic. The more I look
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: at this, the better it's looking to me. I think
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: it looks delicious. This is a knife and fork situation.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: That's not a bare hand situation. You don't need all
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: that mess on you. Oh, by the way, I mean,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: this is sad, but I was blown away yesterday because
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: it was just... inundated with all these videos from Nepal,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: that flood that came through was unbelievable.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Did you see what started that? I thought it was AI,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Glacial movement up in the.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Top of a mountain somewhere.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: The tallest mountains in the world.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: It released a lake, and the whole lake came down
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the mountain. I thought it was AI, especially the one
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: with the buildings and the tiny people running. It's just tragic, dude.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Horrible.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I just, it's.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Another reminder, not that we want or need these, but dude,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: mother nature is just, if it decides it's doing something,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: you got no shot. You know what I mean?
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Nothing you can do. You think?
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Especially at that magnitude, it's sad.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: So here's something else. When we're watching this weekend, this
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: is week zero of college football coming up this weekend.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: So we're going to have the Dublin game with USC
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: and Northwestern. ESPN is going to remove the bottom line
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: ticker during college football games this season.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: It says to free up more on-screen real estate. I
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: guess I'm in the minority. I kind of like when
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I'm watching a game and I see the ticker at
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: the bottom and I see all the other games and
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: what the scores are.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I think that's a reflection of society now. Everybody's watching
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: a game with a secondary screen, either a phone in
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: their hands, a.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Laptop, something else.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: So if you really want to follow other games or scores,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: you have them nearby anyway.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: And that's the way they see it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: But here's how I use it. And let's do this
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: real quick while we're on the show. Do you want
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: the ticker on the bottom of the screen or not?
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Just text yes or no to 303-504-0925. Because I might
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: be a minority.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it can jostle you to do something like change
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: the channel to another game.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Like if, if I'm watching whatever game,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: if I'm watching CU or something like that, and I see,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Hey man, Georgia and Auburn, it's a minute and a
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: half left in there. Georgia's down four with the ball.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I will change the channel because I saw it on
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the screen. I'm not constantly looking at
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: my phone for every game. You know what I mean?
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, um, in all the Sean Payton
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: talk yesterday, uh, He says, of course, that Friday night
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: at Mile High Stadium, Bo Nix will not play in
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: that game.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: They've seen enough of Bo Nix.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Also mentioned Taylor Rapp, the guy that they signed the safety,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: came in the camp, and now he left camp. He's
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: got some personal matters to deal with, but Sean Payton
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: made it sound like he's coming back, that they've seen enough.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: It was almost like an extended tryout. He's coming back
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: at some point to play for the Broncos. He made
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: it known.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: There's some personal stuff he's dealing with. By the way,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: this is like, It's almost unanimously yes on the text line.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to see what other scores are happening,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: what other games are doing, that kind of thing. I
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: like that. Oh, by the way, I was reading Fox Sports,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and they came out with a list. If the NFL
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: expands internationally, what are the five most likely cities to
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: get a team?
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: London.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Mexico City.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: No?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't Mexico City get a team? Well, not yet. Munich?
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Munich?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, no. Uh, yes. Munich is on that list.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Paris, London, London, Munich, and Paris are one.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Two, three.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: That's correct. Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Are there two other ones? You said five.
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: Give me four, five, uh, Rio de Janeiro.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. Uh, Madrid, Madrid is four.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: And what's the fifth?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: And it's a lot, it's a lot closer than you think. Toronto, Toronto, Canada. Correct.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Mexico City wouldn't? They like football.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Well, they just gave their top five. I think they
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: would get a team, yes. You know what?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: When they get that plane going that gets to Europe
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: in four hours rather than eight, then maybe we're talking
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: because that trip from Seattle to Munich, that won't be
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: a friendly.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, man.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Put one in Puerto Vallarta and move there.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Again, I've been watching. What's it called?
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: The E?
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: What am I watching?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: ESPN.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: It's called ESPN.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Stupid European League. I don't know why you're watching it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I am either, but it's on
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: early in the morning on a weekend, so it's just
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: on TV. But Munich, when you look at all of
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the history of world football, Munich always has a team.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Munich is always in there. You wouldn't think Munich. Well,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: I guess there's a lot of football fans in Munich, Germany.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Or as they say in Germany, how do they say it?
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Deutschland.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Munchen. Munchen.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: You guys know when the NBA went to NBC last year, right,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: for some of their national games, and then they would
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: cut away during, like, halftime, and it would be Tirico
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: with Michael Jordan for, like, two minutes being like, so
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: how awesome were you back in the 1995 season? I
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: guess that's not happening anymore. There's no more Michael Jordan
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: interviews that are happening. And I just got to ask,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: were people watching those? Or is that just sort of filler?
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I thought that the Michael Jordan features on NBC were
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: going to be live.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's the latest? All it was was one interview
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: they did a month before the season. And they cut
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was dumb.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: It was dumb.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Catch more of our conversation next week.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And it's like, no, I think I'll pass. You know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: they sold it as if Michael Jordan is going to
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: be a part of the broadcast.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Remember that?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: This year we got Michael Jordan. Like he's talking about
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: the game that's in front of you or something like that.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, the NHL released its full national schedule.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: And Moj, I'm sure you were first to know this.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: 16 Avalanche games going on national television. Is that usually
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: the number? Is that a little low?
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: It's likely 17. Okay. Well, no, it used to be. OK,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: you're talking about 17 national games, Vic, but I think
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: only 15 of those can be exclusive, which means we'll
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: do side-by-sides, and I think we're still working out on
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: what the side-by-sides are going to be. But what they
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: do with the Avalanche, and I understand why, they take
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: away the max allowed by the contracts. Because the Avs
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: are a very desirable team for the world, for the country,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: for every... You see what I'm saying? So they take
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: away the maximum they can from us. Now, they can't...
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'd probably take away 30 if they could,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: but they can't because, you know, we have our own
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: network and we do our own games.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Nelly, got one?
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, last week, ESPN sent out a
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: push notification to everyone's phones at 10 p.m. Eastern, so
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: it'd be 8 p.m.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Here, that said.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: New Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris shoots and kills
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: an armadillo in his yard. Who at ESPN thought that
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: that was necessary to notify everyone on their phones at
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: 10 p.m.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: At night?
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Chase.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Wait, what do you mean? I didn't get any.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: Like, I don't do that notification thing.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I don't either.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I don't do that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: If you get the notifications that appear on your home screen,
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: you would have seen that pop up on your phone.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Why do you do that?
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: I'm just curious.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Like, you want your phone buzzing all day?
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Just if you want to be notified on breaking news
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: right when it breaks.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Like in the middle of your set on a Saturday night,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: your phone starts buzzing. Nelly's like, hold on, hold on.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Stop the music. Stop the tunes. Stop the tunes. I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: got to put down my flute. I just got breaking news.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State's football coach shot an armadillo.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: Shot an armadillo and killed an armadillo.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Shot an armadillo. Hey, man, Vic, you've been to the South. Brent,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: have you ever been to the South before?
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: I lived in the South.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Well, is Texas considered the South of the Southwest?
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is. It is. What are this two?
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: What's considered the South.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Dude, you can't go to the South without seeing a
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: dead armadillo on the side of the road. Those mother
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: truckers get hit like rabbits out here, dude. They get smoked. Armadillos,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: they ain't very fast, and people just run them over.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to ask a really dumb question of what's
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: considered the South and not the South. West Virginia doesn't
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: feel very South to me, but it's the South.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Neither does Virginia.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, West Virginia is next to Ohio.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: How is that the South?
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't get it either.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: There's this thing we had called the Civil War. Yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: But we're talking now about the South.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: But if you're talking pure geography, he's right.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Missouri considered part of the South back
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: in the day.
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: You know, it's funny you say that.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Because Missouri's mid-friggin' west.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: It's almost like Denver. You know you're from Denver. What
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: is North Denver, right? And someone said, well, North Denver's
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: north of I-70. No, that's not North Denver. The Highlands.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: That's north of Denver, but that's not North Denver. Sometimes
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: it doesn't make sense geographically. You just have to understand it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at a map right now, and I'm trying
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: to figure out where I would draw the line on
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: what I consider the south.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Right here.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: And I think it's right where North Carolina and Tennessee
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: come in the picture.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Well, Kentucky's got to be in it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, so let's do this.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: You got to start at Virginia, and you just got
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: to go kind of like right there.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Coming up with the Mason-Dixon line here.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Cut it right there. Isn't it the Mason-Dixon line? Arkansas, yeah.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: And then East Texas, and that's the South.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: All right, hang on, hang on. So, Mos, there you go. So,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: I think it should start where Tennessee starts. Kentucky isn't
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: south enough for me. I know they have an accent.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: It's not south enough.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, but it's got to be like this. It's got
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: They're connected to Indiana.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: That's not south.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Virginia is essentially D.C. Kentucky's got some toothless Southerners.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: No, I understand. If we're just talking... Nobody can hear you, Moshe.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: If we're just talking about, like, mannerisms and stuff, that's
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: one thing. I went to Kentucky. I officiated a wedding
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: in Kentucky. I actually loved my time in Kentucky. I
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: thought it was a great place. I think Kentucky's beautiful.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: It's an awesome place.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: There's also some.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: Some hill people in Kentucky.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. The most beautiful state
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: in the Union ain't Colorado, although Colorado's awesome. To me,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: the most beautiful state in the Union is right here.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Just say it. Just say it. He pointed to West Virginia.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: West Virginia is friggin' gorgeous. Now, yeah, don't get off
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the main roads a little bit because you might run
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: into a... But West Virginia is absolutely beautiful.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Good talk.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Jeff Legwald, ESPN.com, joins us next.
