  Speaker 3: Car accident you need Ramos Law medical doctor and attorney
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: ramas Law dot com. Head coach of the Avalanche Jared
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Bednar joining us fresh off a sweep of the LA
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Kings in the first round. Coach, how you doing this morning.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks, especially coming off a sweep. I know that always
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: feels good. Now, that was a different type of series.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: LA makes it very very difficult. Games are tight. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: have to imagine, and I don't want to speak for
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: you and tell me if I'm off here, but it
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: felt through four games where LA was daring you to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: kind of break out of the game plan and get
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive and impatient offensively. Your guys
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: stayed in tune with that in discipline. Is that one
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: of the things you're more proud of in that first round?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah, I think you can expect those games to
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: be I mean, they played fifty three or fifty eight
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: one goal games this year, So that's their identity and
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: how they play. And we knew that going in, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: we knew we were going to have to be very
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: disciplined and very good on the defensive side of things,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and I think we were both. And we felt like
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: we just stuck with that plan that we would be
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: able to chip in enough offense to win hockey games,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: and that we should expect every one of those games,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, in the playoffs in general against the LA
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Kings in general, to be close games, and that they
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: weren't going to open up and they were going to
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: stay disciplined. It's a vetured team with some good leaders
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: over there, and we just had to, you know, commit
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: to it and do it longer and harder than the
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Kings were able to. And I thought, it's so great
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: discipline from our team, and we found a way to
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: get it done and for and earn some rest here
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and watch it do other series and get prepared for
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: our next one, and you know, it should set up
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: for us for a round two.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting as a coach, you're always picking
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: up things. Even when you sweep a team, you're you're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: finding out by your own team what did you learn
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: about the ads after those four games?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Well, it's what I was hoping for and what we're
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: trying to instill in these guys all year long. Is it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: The defense is how you win come playoff time, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: and you need to commit to that. And even though
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: we did a great job all year long, I can't
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I can't say we didn't. You know, we led the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: league goals against, and I think we saw enough of
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: it down the stretch where even the games it didn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: mean a lot. At the end of the year, we're
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: only giving up one goal and I eat. But you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the team did not get frustrated and they just they
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: just expected the games to go that way. It was
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: very mature approach to that series from our guys. It
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: was great to see. The thing is for me is
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I feel like we can win regardless of what type
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: of game you're trying to play against us. I feel
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like we can give ourselves an opportunity to win it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: And that showed showed me a lot in that series
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: that we were able to stick with it through for
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: our games, no frustration, different lines, chipping in every night,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: and just playing the right way in order to get
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: the job done.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: See.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I told the guys that's what you'd be most proud of.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: They didn't believe me, coach, Look at you, Oh you
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: did believe me. I've been victim and somebody didn't. You
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: know that. I love the way you say that, though, coach,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: because you're going to get into the thickest things again here,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you're gonna fund yourself trailing. It's going to be hard
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to get through a trap or whatever it is. How
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: much now that that you guys stuck with the plan and,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: as you said, a very professional win in round number one,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: how much you're gonna be able to rely on those
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: moments in that series to say, guys, look, let's go
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: back to here. Because that team was hello, good defensively.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We can do this. I mean, just just that little
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: extra knowledge that's built into your squad.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's great and I think you can
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: always do that. There's no question. You know, like you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: in the first round and you're going back to you
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: know why you won all the games that you did
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: in regular season and why you had a great regular season,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and you know that's what the regular season for me
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: is about. Developing those habits and that belief that you
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: can you you can get through whatever obstacles in your way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And we have that strong belief and we have that
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: discipline and commitment, and we showed it in round one.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: And you know that doesn't that doesn't automatically or make
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: it automatic for round two or three or four, if
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: you're fortunate enough to get there. It just means that
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: you know you're now drawing back on that first round.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: There's going to be different challenges. You compare the next
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: team that we play to the Kings and what they
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: do similar and what they do different and what we
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: need to be aware of it. Just like you said,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: it's just added knowledge that you have and added experience
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that you have as a group, and something that's fresh
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: in your head instead of going back to times during
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: the year when you played the right way. There's all
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: games during the year too that your players remember. But
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to have this one knocked out and knocked out convincingly,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I think it says a lot about our team and
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: we'll be able to draw on that for sure.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Head coach Diev Jared Bednar with us all conversations with
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the coach or thanks to our friends at mister Ruter
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Plumbing proudly rooting for Colorado's hockey team. No matter who
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you play in the next round. There's something that I noticed,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and this is nice. When you have a sweep and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: you were successful, you can pick some knits at some things.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Dallas and Minnesota were two and three in power play
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: percentage this year. It felt like you guys took a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: lot of penalties in that first series. What do you
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: think went into that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I this is this next series regardless,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: we have to be disciplined. I think part of it
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: is the referee sort of setting stage for the playoffs
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: and what they're going to allow and not allow. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: didn't you know there was one game or two games
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: in there where we nullified some power plays and took
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: some penalties reaching in. For the most part though, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: didn't mind our discipline, but you were like against I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you look at Dallas's power player for instances number one
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: all year, and they're running at fifty percent in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: playoffs and not scoring a lot of five on five goals.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: So if you're playing them, it's you know, that's how
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: they're you know, advancing and how they're winning hockey games.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: It's the number one topic that you have to be
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: aware of. So discipline is a major factor. And our
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: penalty kill is number one, so I like our chances
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: of being able to kill it. But there's you definitely
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: don't want to give them multiple opportunities because they're they're
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: also stingy defensively, right. And then you got Many who
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: has scored a bunch of five on five goals against
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Dallas but in the in two big wins, you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: win one and the win last night. They also were
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: highly effective on the power play. So it's a power
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: play with a group of five guys, it's zipping it around,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: it's unpredictable, and it's and it's hard to stop with
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: some of their shooters in the way they throw it
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to the net and bring it to the net. So,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: regardless of who you're playing, PK and special teams are
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: going to be a big part of it, and your
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: discipline is going to be a big part of it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: How do you watch that game last night? Like, as
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a coach who's going to take on one of those
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: two teams? Do you have a bias watching it? And
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to ask you to reveal
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: which team you're going to play that'd be a stupid question.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But when you're watching it, are you pulling for one team?
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: No?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Are you pulling for a seven game series? Are you
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: rooting for Dallas now in game six just to go
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: seven games?
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't hurt. Yeah, I mean we want it to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: be a long drawn out series, no question whether it's
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: six or seven. I don't know that that's a huge difference.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I guess it could be. You know, they're I'm watching
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that game, kind of studying both teams, like what did what?
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: You know, what they do well, what some of the
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: weaknesses are, Like how's Dallas having success against Many and
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: vice versa, and kind of looking at it at it
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: that way and not definitely not as a fan. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: just kind of watching it and sort of trying to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: pick up whatever I can on how they're deploying their guys.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: So it's all just really fresh and in my head
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: going into this prep and we're gonna sit down and
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: talk about a couple of these teams here today and
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: you know, really start digging in on some prep work.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: So we're you know, we're not in the cram session
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: come the end of the week, because it will come quickly.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Now you know, entering game six, it could be over
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: tomorrow night. If not them advise us a little bit
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: more time to get prepared and get our guys prepared.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Coach, we were talking about the favorite players in that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: first round series and I said to myself, I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I said to Brett, I, Mike, you could really pick
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: anybody in that series? Is boy? I really like this guy?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Thought everybody. Everybody brought it. That being said, do you
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: have any even more good news today on a certain
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: defenseman who did miss Game four?
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: No, I don't have any news I get to we're
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: kind of monitoring him day to day and he's pushing
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: to try to get back as quickly as he can.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: That will say this though, this time certainly helps. You
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: know a guy like that, if you're you know, can't
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: go today and you know comes back in two days
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: from now, he's feeling a little bit better, you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: a long series can help him get back quickly. So
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: the time off for some guys I think would be
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: really good. We've handled time off pretty well this year
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: or not, we don't practice a lot anyway. Guys are
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: highly committed to what they're doing off the ice and
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: their rest and recovery and their preparation. We will have
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: a few good skates in here and still give them
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: more time off yet before we start, is my guess.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: As we kind of monitor this series and some of
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the time off for a few guys that get nick
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: kept and dinged up during the round, one will benefit
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: a lot from this extended series from Dallas at Mini.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Obviously most just talking about Josh Manson there, but on
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: that subject, and maybe you just kind of answered the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: question coach, but I was going to ask you the
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: rest Russ discussion, which is, if this does go seven
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: games between Dallas and Many, that's a minimum of eight
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: days off that you're going to have in between games.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Is there part of you that doesn't like that or
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: is it all just kind of like, hey, it's a
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: better chance to get rested up.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I think big picture, it's a better chance to get
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: rested up. You again, leaving our guys and what and
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: how they handle themselves like at and away from the
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: rink and the importance of what is to come, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: then have a good chance to prepare them and give
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: them information and you know, in a timely fashion, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: we'll go and have some good skates and hard skates
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: and make sure that they're fresh and on the ice.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: There'll be ice from here until we start, and some
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: players will use it on their own, even if it's
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: a team day off, and they'll kind of individually get
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: what they need to be at their best. And I
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: trust that process for our team. It's worked for us
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: in the past, and we've handled these breaks well, including
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: coming out of like the Olympic break and things like that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I think we take the rest we can
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: get it, get healthy, be energized. Like this game at
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: this point in the year, it's it's such a battle
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: that energy is the most you know, determining factor for
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: any team and trying to go get away and if
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: you if you can pick up a quarter step on
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: a team, you know, it pays dividends in so many
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: different areas.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: What did the boys do the last couple of days?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I haven't seen him yet. They're coming
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: in this morning.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: What you do.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I went to the ranch and walked around in the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: wilderness for a couple of days.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: That's a good getaway. I mean, that's just go listen
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to mother nature and hang out, chop a piece of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: wood or something, that's that's really good, hey, coach, real
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: quick though, my last one watching that first round series
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and senior captain, you know, Landeskog is flying around. He
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: had a couple of big goals, just everything that he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: bringing to the to the table right now on and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: off the ice. As a coach, does it just feel
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like normal to you? Now? Do you just feel like, okay,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: this is this is normal and this is good.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a simple answers. Yeah, it's like and he
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: was phenomenal, Like I had him on the Cadre line
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: with Nick Wah and they scored some big goals and
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: played really well, and you know, Game four and moved
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to the McKinnon line and you know they have a
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: big night. Like it doesn't it's not a coincidence, you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: it's just trying to make sure we get all four
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: lines going and contributing in one way or another. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: but in that series, it's like wherever I kind of
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: moved land is where all the action was right. So,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: and we had a lot of guys that have had
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: had great rounds in Nick wall being one of them,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: and I just and our D played so well and
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Wedge played so well, like guard defense in the series
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: was I thought they were exceptional and suppressing scoring chances
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: of the way we defended and using our skating and sticks,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: which it was fun to watch, but definitely Round one
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: you watch wherever the action was the most dangerous we
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: could possibly be, and it seemed like Lady was always
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: a part of it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I have one last comment, not having a question, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a comment, because you know, people have their favorite players,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and sometimes the favorite players are the superstars. For me, though,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I've come to this conclusion, I cannot get enough of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: our toury and the way he plays, and just the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: dog in him and the fight in him and the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: feistiness in him and the no quit in him. How
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: do you manufacture that? Where does that come from? And
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is it contagious? At times? Do other players pick up
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: on it?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: I think it is contagious. Yeah, you want many of
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: those type of guys you can possibly have, and I
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: think guys on the on the ice see it, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: prospects see it like you're you know, we get guys
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: in the draft and we start developing guys and it's,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: you know, like he's one of the guys that we
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: show them video of just how we're letless. He is,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: but a tremendous amount of detail in his game as well,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Like he is an intelligent, intelligent player, but he just
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: always putting himself in the right spot to get the
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: right touch on the top to help his line move
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: north and get on the attack if we need to
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: play defensively. Is there touch the dollars of our game
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: most special teams then five on five and as you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: like it's he's one of those guys. The bigger the game,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: the more he shows up. Kind of thing. So that
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I think how you manufacture it, I'm not really sure.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Like you can encourage it, you can point it out,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: you can use it as an example, but I think
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: a lot of that comes from just within, Like it's
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it's inside you and you have it and you've developed
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: that over time, and I think it's something that you
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: can develop as a player, like what you take pride in,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: I think your habits and the detail and the competitiveness
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: of your game, which is what we're always working on
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: with our guys. But lots of times that's a slow process.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: I think could get him to the spot where lucky
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it is. I believe that he's probably a guy that's
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: been developing those skills his whole life.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Jared Bednar's weekly visit is brought to you by Chili
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: One's Beer, One Chili one at a time. Just very quick, coach,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I get two things and they'll be super fast.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I saw a miked up episode you guys going through
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: the handshake line with Copatar. Just what's it like playing
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: against a guy like that? And what'd you say to
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: him after the game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I get so much respect for, you know, all
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: the guys in the league, but like a guy like
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Coppatar who's just done it for so long, the model
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: of consistency through his career. You look at his numbers,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: it's just you know, top defensive player, high end contributor,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: offensively captain, you know, champion two times over. I like
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: to be able to do it as consistently as he's done.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: It is incredible. I just told him, I hope he
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: enjoys the heck outter retirement because he's here and did
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and what a fabulous career. I'm sure like the best
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: similar message from every one of our guys that you
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: know that went through and got to shake his hands.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's hard to do it. For a couple
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: of seasons in her own never mind twenty or whatever
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: he played. It's crazy.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: And then finally, I just want you to be aware
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: because I don't know if we're going to talk to
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: you before the next series starts, but if it does
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: happen to be Minnesota, I just want you to know that,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: largely because of our show in specifically VIC, the entire
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: state of Minnesota hates us, hates the state hates all
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: of our teams. If you plague, and it's all due
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: to this Nuggets and Wild series I'm sorry Nuggets and
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: t Wolf series that's going on right now. So if
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: you guys do get Minnesota, I guarantee you Ball Arena
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and in Minnesota, both of those buildings will be jacked
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: up and fired up for you guys and against you guys,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: So be prepared.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I like that. I like to get the emotion
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: in the series right away.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Good job, I am your lucky, My goodness, Coach, always
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: appreciate the time.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Congrats on the first round series. When we'll talk to you.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Next week, all right, take care.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: See when you get an added boy from the coach.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels good, doesn't It feels good?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And he knows.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: There is an announcement that just happened, by the way,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: with the Broncos recently, on a player that is now retired.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: That's when I was hinting at, Yeah, this was a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: big This was the big secret, right, Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I thought, we'll talk about it when we come back.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have a secret. But you know whatever, Uh,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: we'll get to it next. All right, Victor. We got
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: a announcement from the Broncos, one of the fan favorites
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: there announcing retirement. Go ahead, well you gotta you gotta
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: sit down that coffee. Get done with that first.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, choke it down, baby, choke it down.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to step on the announcement because that's
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the Broncos doing. But I knew about it last week
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: with Justin Simmons and I played golf last week and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: he told me what he was doing, and it caught
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: me a little bit off guard because we were discussing
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: his future. And you know, there's a reason he didn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: play for a team last year and he sat last
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: season out. He looks like he's still very much in
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: football shape. He looks like he still has some mileage
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: on his body. He could play somewhere, but he's so
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: committed to staying here with his family that he wasn't
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: going to throw that away for a one year deal
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: on a team that can't contend. He's one of the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: few Broncos who endured an entire career here, thrived here,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: was a ballhawk here, did a lot of good here,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and never played in a single playoff game here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Today, at ten am, they'll make it official with the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: jersey and all that business. He will retire as a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Denver Bronco today. It'll be a little odd with him
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and Sean Payton. I assume Sean Payton is going to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: be there because the very reason Justin Simmons left the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Broncos is because of Sean Payton. So good on him, Sean,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and good on the Broncos to bring him back and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: make him a Bronco for a day, to retire as
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a Broncos well deserved. Justin is a good man, an
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: earnest man. He lives here, he loves it here, wants
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to raise his family here. He's part of this community.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: It needed to happen, So congratulations all around.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I was just talking about him earlier and this was
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: more surrounding there's a story from Luca Evans about von
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Miller wanting to come back to the Broncos either as
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a player or eventually as somebody in the front office.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: And we can talk about that a little bit later,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: but I was talking about how it was the idea
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: that Sean Payton felt like he wanted anybody of the
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: quote old old Guard before he came here, leadership from
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the old guard. He didn't want a round because he
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: wanted to do his own thing. And Justin Simmons is
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a good player and a good man, and they booted
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: him out I think just because of that, because here's
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: what I said about Simmons. It was one of the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: worst stretches of Broncos football history, especially in the more
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: modern era of Broncos football. And I don't think you
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: could have asked for a better steward in face of
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the franchise than Justinson.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I told him that to his face, I say, you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: we're playing by the way, guys. He hits a hell
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of a great draw. He picked up golf just a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: few years ago. I think he's played for two or
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: three years. He's gonna be really good game. He hits.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just starting to kind of you hit it draw
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: only when it's an accident exactly.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: He hits this natural draw where he starts it over
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the trees and comes back to the middle of the fairway,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and when you watch it, you're like, wow, that is
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: great hands. It's just he's got great hands on the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: golf course.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'd rather start. I'd rather have somebody who's knew a
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: golf start with a draw than with a push by
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: a mile.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent, because he's already you could tell he's
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: got the hands to play.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: He's already got the inside track.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: That's what we'll get justin on and and we'll break
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: down his golf swing at some point. But in regards
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to his career, here the multiple head coaches he went through,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the multiple defensive coordinators he went through, he went through
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the sale of a team, the unrest with ownership, he
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: went through so much. As a player again, never once
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: sniffed a playoff game, and every damn time somebody had
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to account for the play on the field, he was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: that somebody in the locker room. He was the guy
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: who all the reporters went to. He was the guy
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: who had to speak of his teammates, even at times
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: critically he was that guy. And I'm telling you right
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: now that is not an easy thing to do. You
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: look at every team, like for the Nuggets right now,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you know who that guy is. It's Christian Brown. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I know everybody's critical of Christian Brown because the way
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he's playing. But who if you watch every postgame in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: in defeat, who's the guy Nicola does it too. Who's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the guy that is willing to address the way the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: team played?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: It's NICOLEA and CB.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: That's not an easy thing to do. It's never an
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: easy thing to do.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I've got a I've got a story about Big fifty
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: and Tom Green to listen to this day. Big fifty
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: feels bad for yelling at Tom Green. This is way
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: back in the eighties. Long story. I'll tell them later
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: some other time.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, Vic, there was a time You're welcome.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: But there was a time when when guys would come
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: off the field for practice, you could just interview them
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: right then before they got into the locker room. Ry,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: can I get a couple of minutes with you? Whatever?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: So when Justin Simmons was a rookie just out of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Boston College, like, I like this guy, so I asked
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: him if I could shoot the breeze with him a
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: little bit. He said absolutely, And from that moment on,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like this this guy is I really really liked
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this guy just I mean as a as a human being,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: as he's just a you can tell you's just a
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: good person, right, incredibly thoughtful. Uh, just a just a
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: great dude. And I like this. I like the hand he.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Can draw the golf ball changes. How is his short
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: game like everyone's short game at times choppy, at times
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: really good. But he's got the fundamentals down. And you
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: if you can draw, here's the deal for me. If
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you can draw the golf ball, naturally, you can be
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: my friend.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Can we do the other story that I was just
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: kind of talking about, By the way, Luke Evans had
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: something in the post earlier today where he talked to
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Vaughn and here's his little blurb on Twitter that's setting
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: up the story. It says this von Miller wants to
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: be with the Broncos again eventually, and maybe not as
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: an outside linebacker.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Quote.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: If I don't go back to Denver in play, I
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: would like to go back to Denver and be in
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: the front office. So the story is Lucas is talking
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: with Miller about his dream to be an NFL GM.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Now tell me if I'm wrong on this. And Vaughn
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: is one of the greatest players at his position in
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the history of the league. He's obviously one of the
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: greatest Broncos. He's ever lived Broncos. Vaughn has been standing
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: outside the Broncos facility in Dove Valley like John Cuzack
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: from Say Anything, with a giant boombox and a trench coat,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: begging them to take him back. For about three years now,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: this has been happening, and the Broncos at each turn
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: have said no, thank you. Now, to his credit, von
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: was a thirty seven year old player. Do you how
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: many sacks he had in Washington last year? Take a guess, uh,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: eleven did nine nine. That's a really good numb for
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: a situational pass rusher at this point in his career.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: But the Broncos are just like, no, thanks, I'm good
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: And I don't know how much longer Vaughn's gonna keep
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: doing this thing where he's standing outside in the rain
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: in a trench coat asking to be let in. But
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: it is just like every offseason. Guys, we've had the
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: same thing, haven't we. Vaughn's posting pictures of him saying
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I want to be a Bronco again or whatever, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: I just at some point, is Vn just like they
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: don't want me?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: You know what's interesting? And I had this conversation with Justin.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You know why so many people out there want to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: come here? You know the number one reason? Why do
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you see it?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: The Walton Pett group.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Exactly right, exactly right. They know that, they know it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Word gets around, right, word gets around.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: These people are These people have the bread and they
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: are they got it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at what they're doing already.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Like is it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: They have a good reputation of taking care of players,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: all of it. It's it's sort of all of.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: It right now. Yeah. I think the new stadium coming
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: online here in about what six years?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Five years? Your practice facility will be done here in
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a few days. I just drove I just drove by
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that a week ago. They're getting to move on. I mean,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: they haven't demolished anything on the other side yet, but
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: they're they're still hauling. But and it looks gorgeous, the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: whole rock on the outside looks pretty awesome.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you the same question I asked Mouse earlier,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: and this is actually perfect with Justin Simmons this time.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't I don't want to cast his spursions
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: in anybody, but I know what you're gonna ask.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: If Justin Simmons says, Gosh, I'd love to be part
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: of the front office one day'd be like, I get it, bro,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: totally get it. Is there any world where you see
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: von Miller the front office executive?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what you know. There
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: are some players that have gone to front office roles
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that I never expected to and have thrived. I don't know.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he's like behind the scenes. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if well, how do you go?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Vic? Okay, let me let me let me pose the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: question this way. And I again, I don't know what
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: his skills are off the field, But how do you
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: go from Club fifty eight to NFL GM?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Did you there was a video?
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not what.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: There was a video on social media where he's being
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in and he admitted that his house here was basically
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a frat house where you have everybody just he said
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: he had.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Four to five sweat, four to five hundred people in
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: his basement at times.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean better to be there than out
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: in the open. Yeah, Holmes, James, I'm member of toy story.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking of any NFL so good. It's any NFL
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: g is Howie Roseman? Has there been a time in
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: his life where he had four to five.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Hundred people in his rights with a DJ booth and
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: a bar and James and.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Hassakic ever done that he has?
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: He don't think so. And again that's listen, that's young Vaughn. Listen.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: If I'm my god, if I'm in my late twenties
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: and i am a Super Bowl MVP, hey, well yeah,

• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he's not He doesn't have GM material.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Now I'm saying that I asked you the question, does
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: he strike you as an NFL front office executive?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Now? But you know, people mature differently. People developed. I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a fifty I'm assumed to be fifty seven year old. Man,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'm still not mature.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I agree, I couldn't be a front office member.

• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's what's your dude card, that's what you get.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I've been looking up recently.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: The point is, he just doesn't. He doesn't strike me. Look,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I think of these gms like you talk about how
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: we were. I think about Ozzie Newsom for all those years, right,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I mean he didn't have Club Ozzie Cleveland, right, I
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: just I don't know I'm just saying that. You know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: people can change paths.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: You know Taft was too fat to get out of
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the bathtub by him, Yeah, you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Told me that. Yeah, how would you like to be
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the guy? Let me ask you this, would you rather
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: feed the elephant? Feed the elephant or help the elephant out?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Or help William Taft in all of his glory out
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: of the bathtub? Every time?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: How much did he wag? Could he well give me
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: his dimensions? I mean we're in the combine right now
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in the presidential town. I got it, okay on a half,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: you can put it hold.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: On all right? Ready? He dot.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I mean he was here. We go anywhere from three
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: thirty to three fifty four at five foot eleven. Okay,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: so but for three point fifty you got a thing
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: back when he was in office, which was early nineteen honerds,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're a behamoth a little bit of time.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Just imagine how much history would change if if Ozepic
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: were around back then.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: He had weight fluctuations throughout his life, including losing seventy
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: pounds at one point before regaining all of it seventy
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: but by the time.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: By the time he got to nineteen twenty nine, he
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: got down to two fitty.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Dude. I've told you guys this before in terms of
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: build and just you know, brick house ready to play ball.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Take a look at George Washington's dimension. It's underrated his dimensions.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: He could he could ball, dude.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I could put him in at tailback. I could play
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: him at safety.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: George Washington was a freak at his side back.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But you know, have you ever been in the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Smithsonian and seen his suits? Like he was kind of
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: skin he was thin. Man.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Those look at his dimensions was because he was like
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: six foot four, which is like seven foot two.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm just Sandy Warson snapped.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I could see he was time.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I could see him playing middle linebacker and just waiting
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to fill the fill the gap.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I could just see that we filled that British gap.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Didn't he personal foul?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: There's a joke in there somewhere.
• 32:34

• 33:10
  Speaker 3: family feud is gonna come your way at nine to twenty.

  Speaker 3: We've got a couple of nights off, so we're gonna
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: do that at nine to twenty. Here's one, Hey to.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Rock that game.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Mo.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Nathan McKinnon is not up for the Ted Lindsay.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: That's weird, thoughts.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: What is the Ted Lindsay again? Guy said, there's so
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: many awards in hockey on this.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Track is one most outstanding player? You won an award?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Bendo. Uh it's the most outstanding players voted by the players.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: The finalists are McDavid, kocher Off and Celebrating. There's only
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: three spots. McKinnon has been left off.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: So the players vote on this correct they don't see
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: mac as one of.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: The top three. I'm sure they see him as top
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: in the league. But look celebrate. He's the young kids.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Do they think he's winning the heart And it's just
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: like we'll give this to somebody else sort of thing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you won the show. I don't know, to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: be honest with you, I really have no idea. And
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: by the way I've seen this, well, do players not
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: like Nada? It has nothing to do with any of that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: But it feels to me like, because let me tell you, koutro.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Off eighth, the most popular dude in the league.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Well, it feels to me like in the NFL, how oh,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen wins the MVP, but Sakuon Barkley wins Offensive
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Player of the Year. And I'm like, don't they both
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: play on offense? Why would that be any different? And
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: maybe that's the kind of vibe to this. I don't know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: but it is weird. No one else is weird. This
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen very often. Undrafted free agents nflgms. They love
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: this because they can find their diamonds in the rough
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and they can do it for virtually no risk. Right,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: how about Diego Pavia signing a three year deal with
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: the Ravens as an undrafted free agent three years?
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Diego Popkin, by the way, is smaller than you.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They're going to develop them obviously, try to you know
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: him at any time. I would not be surprised if
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they bring him in as a quarterback and then try
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: him elsewhere. I'm not sure what other positions you could play.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe an Edelman tight.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Specialized.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. I gotta know.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: By the way, congratulations to former Broncos Shelby Harris, who
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: keeps on keeping on. He just signed a deal with
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the New York Giants.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, Hm, Shelby's been around for a while, he has.
• 35:37

  Speaker 3: Runners left in scoring position?

• 39:44
  Speaker 1: good category. The Colorado Rockies lead the league in ABS
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: challenges one five, so when they challenge a call, they're
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: normally a winner on that call. So that means those
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: catchers they can see the strike zone better than the
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: umps can't.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
