  Speaker 7: like really good turning games. It was a fun watch
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: all week and long. But can I start with something
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: we discussed on Friday regarding the Avalanche. The Avalanche in
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: this heated battle with Dallas and Mose, we kind of
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: looked at the schedules moving forward. You played against two
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: teams that are not very good this weekend. Now, wasn't
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: the easiest way to grab points yesterday, but got them
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: got to So you finished that weekend with four points.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: And we looked at Dallas's schedule, Well, they got to
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: go on the road at Minnesota and then they have
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: a back to back against Vegas.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: How's that gonna look.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: Well, they only took one of four points as they
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: lost to ot to Minnesota and then lost yesterday to Vegas.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: You've now pushed your lead in the division back to
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: five points with a game in hand on Dallas. Dallas
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: is now as far away from you as Minnesota is
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: to Dallas. For second place in the division, which overall
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: couldn't ask for anything more.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I completely agree. I mean this is kind of the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: way that it needed to go. Gentlemen. Good to talk
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to you live from Pittsburgh.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I'm in Pittsburgh, bro.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're delayed big time, but anyway, go on, He's
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: all right. Sorry.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: How many years did are that the thing? Uh?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: How many years ago was it? Thanks Netley tomorrow. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: planned to be at the rink tomorrow, I do, But
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: how many years ago was it that it was doing
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh bro thing?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: I forget like six this long time. When he said,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: I don't know he was we're giving him grief. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: think there was something wrong with his connection. And he
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: yelled at us, I'm in Pittsburgh, Bro, I don't know.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Is it always Pittsburgh. Does Pittsburgh not know how to
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: how to do the internet?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Or well? No, but I will say this thick, well
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: that was I was at the rink that day, but no,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: this is uh it's overcast, strainy, and the trees outside
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the window were doing this like that kind of thing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So I tried to log onto the interwebs here at
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the hotel, and it kept like going. I don't really
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: don't feel like working today. No, sorry about that, So
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I had to hook my unit up to my phone,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and I don't think people really care. I'm gonna try
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: my very very best. Yeah, okay, sound great. That's the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: way it's supposed to go. Before you leave, you take
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: care of the first two against teams you should beat. Yesterday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I know it was more difficult. You could have beaten
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Chicago eleven to one. I mean that's you won four
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to one. It could have been eleven to one. The
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: kid made a bunch of good saves. You had forty
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: nine shots on goal. You had eighty two attempts to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: forty two. I mean, you completely dominated every friggin aspect
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of the game. So now you move on to revenge tour.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You had Pittsburgh coming up tomorrow night, and then you're
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: at Winnipeg on Thursday.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Uh, yesterday, the game got a little scary, clearly, But
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know how much more proof we need. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: numbers prove it. When Gabriel Landeskog plays, the Avs win. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: when he plays, they win. He played, they won.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Most Now that that penalty took late was yes tough one,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: but they overcame it and won.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you have the audio.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: All I saw was quotes, But when he talked about
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: the injury he suffered and said, quote, had a quick
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: surgery to fix some things after taking a shot in
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: the nuts, he said, I don't know what surgery that is.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: It was probably a tear somewhere down there. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: that's the surgery. That's what That's what it is. Yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: you don't like it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I don't like that at all.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: No, No, I don't like the idea take your head.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: You don't like it of aasectomy given to gab landeskog
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Off a slap shot, but count a car.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Most do you like it?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I won't. No, No, I I don't. We had a
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: funny conversation, Well none of it's funny. We had a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: conversation of private conversation in the hallway last week about
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: who's intact? Are you intact? Are you intact? That kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of thing, and uh, it's these conversations. He's the one
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: who initiated. I was not asking about intactness of stuff.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: He's the one that is.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: He taking like a sense of a source of pride
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: in this.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I think he might be. I think I don't know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I told him. I think he's probably going to me
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: said things in the future. It was funny, but it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: out there. Man, it was ninety miles an hour. Vic.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: What do you want me to say, I mean, it
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: broke some stuff.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Just get out of the way.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: It's always Kale. It's just it's always Kale. By the way,
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: in the middle of that, he did reveal it's kind
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: of what we thought happened. But if you go all
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: the way back to that Florida game where he crashed
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: in the post, and my initial concern was it looked
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: like his knee buckled for a second, and that was fine.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: He broke his ribs against the post, and that's why
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: he missed all that time, which we kind of figured.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: But to see the Avs persevere through whatever, and then
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: the Stars to not collect any points, and now you've
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: got a comfortable little I'm not saying it's over.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: By any means.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: There's still a lot of season left. Well not a lot,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: but enough season left. It's comfortable.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: You gotta admit you feel a lot better today than
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: you did after that Stars game.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Well, most this is what I wanted to get to
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: is that if you can continue to take care of business,
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: your next slash last, huge, gigantic big game is not
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: this Saturday, but the following Saturday, when you play Dallas
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: one more time.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: It may be inconsequential.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Well, if you play that game and you beat Dallas
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: that night, you have a real opportunity, and I think
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: this should be the goal. Now, play well leading up
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: to it, beat Dallas on the fourth and then you
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: have a handful of games left still, but maybe you
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: can treat those as like, hey, McKinnon, get a rest tonight,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Hey Marty Nachos, get a rest tonight. Mccarr take a
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: break tonight, like that sort of thing. That should be
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: the goal.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Now, you're absolutely you're absolutely correct. You know what I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: think the ideal plan here is, boys, this is for
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: moj is that when you look at some of those
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: games down the stretch, especially that trip to Edmonton and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Calgary back to back, you know what, you say, why
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: don't you stay home? Yeah, why don't you stay home?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You know what? Take some time. You know, you want
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: to be able to put yourself in a position where
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: if guys are dealing with anything, if they want to
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: play great but if they're dealing with anything, you leave
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: them home, you go to Mintondo couch because it won't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: matter for Jack flipping squat.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: By the way, do you know what I found out
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: about that Saturday of the fourth. It's a one o'clock
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: puck drop against Dallas. Yeah, that is also a one
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: o'clock tip against San Antonio for the Nuggets exact same time,
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: two biggest games left in the schedule.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute, the Nuggets don't play San Antonio on
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: the fourth.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: According to schedule they do.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: You better look at your schedule.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at it right now, Prime Video.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: One o'clock Saturday, April fourth, San Antonio Spurs here.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Correct, Oh, I thought you're talking about there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Sorry, no, No, they just play San Antonio.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: They end the season in San Antonio as well.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, but I'm saying that's their their next like that's
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: their biggest game left on their schedule too, is what
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: I'm saying. They play San Antonio at the same time
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: that the Avs play against Dallas.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: What are you gonna make some.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Bones right now? My man, my man was adamant. Don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: let him tell you he wasn't.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Wait, does Vick have a vacation plan that he's gotta make.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: No, I'm just aware of that game at San Antonio,
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: and I was under the assumption you were talking about
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: that game because that's the final game.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: No, but I feel like that game is gonna be
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: inconsequential because they're gonna they're gonna be in playoff mode
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: by that time anyway, So when they play them on
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: the fourth, I mean, that's gonna be a serious game,
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: that's all I'm pointing out.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be a big day here because San Antonio,
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: at that rate, they'll still have something to play for
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: and sold the Nuggets. I mean, in fact, that might
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: be the toughest game left on the schedule for the
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Nuggets and certainly for the Avs. Same Saturday.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, at the exact same time, both at one o'clock.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: But only the Avs. For those who don't look at
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: the standings, the Aves, with a game in hand, they
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: have one extra game, are now five points ahead of
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: the Stars. The Stars are five points ahead of the Wild,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: So a little bit of a room to breathe here
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: with that extra game in hand, and you can't I'm
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: not saying you can't ask for anything better, but after
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: that loss in the shootout to Dallas, moj You can
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: breathe a little today, You can breathe without any issues.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, fine, a little bit, And yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I completely agree, Vic, And I always treat that game
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in hand like a win, So I like to think
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: of it. Okay, that's seven points ahead at this point.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: So we'll, I mean, we'll, we'll, we'll see, we'll see
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: how it goes. But you gotta keep you got to
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: keep it up. Do yourself a favor. Keep winning now
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: so that you can chill guys out toward the end
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: of the regular season. It won't matter for a squad
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and then you just move on and get ready for
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the good stuff. But to see the captain filter back
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: into the lineup, to think that perhaps you've got other
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: guys that could play before you know, the end of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: this road trip, or at least come back sometime in
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the next week, that's a that's a really good thing.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: Wait, I forget to mention this too, Bro, The Rockies
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: play Philly that day too. If you guys know that,
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: Oh hell, the Rockies start this Friday, right this Friday
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: opening day.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: God, that's not at home, but that's yeah.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: That's hey, about the the NHL standing's emotion. So if
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: you're the Avs and you're sitting here and let's I'm
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: not going to make any assumptions because it's not over,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: but you're sitting pretty okay. Let's say that you waltz
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: in as that number one seed. Who would you rather see?
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: In the two seed? Who would you rather see? The
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Stars or the Wild?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Hosting?
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Or does it really matter at that point when they
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: play each of them?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I think in my mind right now, Minnesota's
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: locked into the three. Okay, So that to me, it's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: gonna be Dallas, Dallas hosting Committee boring some crazy crazy thing.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Dallas will host the Minnesota Wild. That's what I see.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I thought you're gonna ask who do you want to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: see in the first round? Well, that's if you're the Avalanche.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Do you want to see? You know, Nashville, the Kings
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: or the Kraken or the Sharks for crying out loud,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: but it again, the Sharks have sort of they've sort
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of played their way out of it. They've lost four
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: in a row, Cracking lost three in a row, Kings
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: have lost three in a row. That's allowed in Nashville,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Who's won four in a row to get to the
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: number two spot, so the APS could host the Preds
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: in round number one. If you can believe that right now?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Who would be? Yep, bless bless you? Okay, yes, Victory.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: I told Vic before this show started. I was like, dude,
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: these allergies are kicking my ass. Like for the last
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: four days I have I've had to have blown my nose.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: I think two hundred and fifty times. The tip of
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: my nose is like raw.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The plants are saying, hey man, all right, cool at
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Gopher saw his shadow or whatever. You know. I don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: know what the story is, but early so they're starting
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to release their spores.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: I do want to say one thing real quick before
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: we move on to the Nuggets, and in college basketball,
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: that shift by Marti Nacho's in open overtime, like to
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: recognize how tired that defense was because they couldn't get
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: off the ice, and to continue to cycle and just
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: make them move, just make them move.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: All right, here comes a little three sixty. Now I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: gonna go around the net.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna tire you out that way to get to
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: that perfect point where you find Brock Nelson unreal.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: He looked like it was crazy.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: He looked like he was doing a figure skating routine
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: and he was the only one on the ice.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Vick. It's not just that you're out there for over
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: a minute, right, it's what you're doing. And Ryker pointed
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: it out last night. It's those quick sea cuts. It's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: those quick reversals that where the legs are. I mean,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: because you're just throtting those legs up so quickly, so
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: much wrong, wrong, that kind of thing that that's where
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the fatigue comes in. Not just tooling around and coasting
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of crap. This is where you're
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: changing direction really hard hard cuts change the direction. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I said, it's like you're driving a Ferrari. And then
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: he is filling up on the fly at ninety miles
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: an hour, you know, I mean, he just keeps going
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and going. He was. I can't tell you how great
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: he's been since the Olympic break, but he was great.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Not only that, he's got a new career high in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: points pick he's three clear and it was last year
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: combined between Carolina and the Avs, when he said his
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: career high. He's three above that now and he's looking
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: for more. And this is what you love a guy
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: who signs a brand new deal. You know what he does,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: He gets better. Yeah, it's it's every GM's now.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: He's gonna have to prove it in the playoffs. Let's
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: be honest. That's a different gear. Gotta hit it a
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: different gear come postseason.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: We'll get to that in just a second.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Lot to get to from over the weekend, a great
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: slate of college games, but the Nuggets also with a
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: two and L weekend and for the first time since
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: I think you mentioned this Vic November twelfth, a fully
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: healthy roster. We'll get to it next, all right, So
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: the Avs take care of business over the weekend, as
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: do the Nuggets, and the Nuggets got something that's even better,
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: which was a healthy Peyton Watson back in the lineup.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Came off the bench twenty minutes yesterday, scored fourteen points.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Played without a shoe for a while, played.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Without a shoe.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: But what the Nuggets did over the weekend they played
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: against a good Toronto team and both games had momentary
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: like I don't know what's going on here Toronto was
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: the third quarter where defense was optional. First quarter of
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: the Portland game, defense was optional, but did buckle down
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: towards the end to make sure they got the win.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: But having you said this stat the other day yesterday
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: VIC which blew me away. First time since November twelfth,
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: they've had a healthy roster.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean a lot of teams have gone through this.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: It's not just the Nuggets. If you look at the
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: list of teams, Oklahoma City's been that way, there are
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: a lot of teams that have been injured from top
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: to bottom that haven't had a healthy roster. It's pretty rare. Actually,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: you get a healthy roster this late in the season,
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: right to note that here they are. They're intact everything
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: you would hope for as a Nuggets fan. You've got Now.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: You still have plenty of time before the postseason to
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: get these guys going. Hopefully they stay healthy. But you
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: have your rotation, and I think over the last couple
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: of games you got a glimpse of your rotation. You
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: know what it is going to the playoffs. You know
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: what your first five is. You know who's coming off
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: the bench. They've gone small ball the last couple of
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: games to get back into games to inject some defense.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: If you notice that well, Valentchunas didn't play.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: He hasn't played.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: You said, you get your starting five. So you don't
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: think that they're gonna put Peyton Watson in the five.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: Oh not right now. Not if everything's going well, if
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: everything continues to go, I mean, why would you mess
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: with it? Cam Johnson's he's playing great. Yeah, if you're winning,
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: why would you mess with it now? If you need
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: to shake things up, sure, but right now, you leave
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: it the way it is. They've looked good. There was
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: no defense to speak of in the first quarter from
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: either team. Yes, and then suddenly second unit comes in.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: They play a little bit early in the fourth quarter.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Again they go small in that small unit. I'll say this, man,
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: those guys ball They play hard, Yes, they do it,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: and they play defense, and I like it. It's something
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: different about the Nuggets. I like it, and I hope
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: they can keep that up because the schedule is much
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: more forgiving than it has been the last couple of weeks.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: I don't think you're catching the Lakers. They keep winning
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: by hook or by crook. I don't know how that
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: they keep winning. They don't lose anymore. So the three
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: seed unless they fall apart is probably out of the question.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: So you take the four seed and you await your opponent.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: What you think, dermoge, what.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Do you think is the best part? I'm gonna see,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna test your guy's knowledge of ball.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're gonnavict to us. You're gonna You're gonna vict us.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna vick you out here right now, Vic,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna vick you. What was the best part about
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: yesterday's game?
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: The best part about yesterday's game? That is such a
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: ridiculously generalized question that I don't even know where to
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: go with.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: See see what you do to us?
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: I actually, I'm gonna I'm gonna answer.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna answer this question. Let me. I'm trying to
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: look at it through the eyes of Mosure. The best
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: part of Oh, I know, I know how answer. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: know how Moser would answer this. It was Rocky's birthday
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and they celebrated at the arena.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: That's how it was just dumb.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Fourth quarter defense.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, dumb that can I try again? Cam Johnson just
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: launching and making Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: It was that. That was awesome. The best part to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: me when I guys, I watched some of it because
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: we were on and then you know, getting to the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: bus and the blah blah blah. But the best part
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: when it was all said and done and I realized
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: that he had to blow out wind coming and so on.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I looked at the box score and the minutes, the point,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the production from the different guys. It looked that box
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: score to me looked exactly like I want a starting
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: five box scored. Look me personally, Joker's not going he
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to go crazy. He's got twenty two to
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: fourteen and fourteen pretty damn good. So it's a triple double. Obviously,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: he's pulled down the boards. He's dished it out great.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Cam's hitting, Jamal's fifty percent from the floor, right, Christian
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: is hitting, and the miniats are spread out of a
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: bunch of dudes and Vic the production was spread out.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: So that's the way I love it to look against
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: a Portland team. I'm not talking about the postseason, but
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: a regular season Portland team that's hovering around five hundred.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: To me, that is a perfect So.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Your question to me and everybody else, what was the
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: best party yesterday's game? And your answer is the box score?
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: I no, I get what he's saying it was an
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: even distribution of production.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: That's what he's getting at it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: And he is right, like your your big dogs are
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: gonna be a leading scorers twenty two a piece for
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: both Yokitchen Murray. But even if you look at Peyton
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Watson gave you fourteen off the bench, Bruce Brown gave
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: you thirteen, Christian Brown fifteen, Aaron Gordon twelve, Cam Johnson,
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: it was even from everybody.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Cam Johnson's Cam Johnson. And where he is today versus
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: a month ago. Remember a month ago he was in
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: when I asked him about it in the locker room yesterday,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: because it was one month ago where he sat there
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: and he spoke to reporters and said, I I'm I'm
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: I'm struggling right now. Yeah, and he's figured it out. Man,
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: It's not easy to do mid season Midstridetorio.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Vittorio was even two weeks ago and I said to you, okay,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: you put yourself there, you pull Cam aside, what are
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: you say? And you said, I don't know, And I
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: completely agree with you. I wouldn't know what to say either.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: But it looks like he has worked his way out
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: of that crap. But he just looks not feeling it. Yeah,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: he does. He looks good shots going in and that
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: just build like this and it's a great thing to see.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Did you guys see that pass that Aaron Gordon had
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: to Nicola yesterday when the ball was fumbled away and
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: he just threw it behind his back? No? Look, Yeah,
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: do we not talk about that enough? Because I don't
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: think I did enough. After that game, I passed upon
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: a second look was ridiculous?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Well, there was.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: You tried to sniff out like a truffle pig if
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Jokic's offensive foul early in the game was like sort
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: of a tone setter thing, Yeah, here was his response?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Was that your message then when you took that foul, Hey,
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: let's let's go. Let's get physical here.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: No, uh no, I tried to stop the big and
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: I did it, but not by regulations.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: It was an ill advised foul to take.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: The reason I asked that question is because what he
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: said right before that. Did you hear what he said
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: right before?
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: He was asked why the first quarter was so high scoring.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: He said, because we're not playing physically enough. We're not fouling,
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: we didn't commit any fouls, Yeah, to which I responded,
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: is that why you committed that ill advised foul because
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: it was not a SMA. Weren't foul, But maybe he
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: was trying to send a message. So context context, Yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I just love.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Nope, not at all. Now.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: You did talk to Peyton Watson on the floor after
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: the game. I loved his response of how do you feel.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Peyton Watson fourteen points? It's been a while since you
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: shuit it up? How does your body feel?
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: Feels good? It feels good. This altitude got to me tonight.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: I was tired as hell, but we pulled through. We
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: got the W.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: I noticed that you wanted to challenge yourself. You played
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: a couple of minutes without a shoot. What happened there? Man?
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: Stuff happens. You just got to be ready for anything
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: out there. I wasn't afraid to shoot.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Is that the protocol? You just throw the shoot at
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: the stands when it falls off?
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: I ain't know what to do, man, I was just
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: deal with the first thing came to my mind.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: All right, ten games to go, this is the stretch run.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: What's the mentality for this team and he's last ten?
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: Just to do everything the right way. We know that
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: we got a great team, and it's been a while
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: since we had our full team. So I think when
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: we're healthy, nobody in the league can beat us.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: First time, Sin's Umber twelve. You guys have been fully healthy.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: It's been a while. Good to see you back, my friend.
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: So let's go Negas Nation.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Come on, all right? So I had a great idea
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: now that he said, if you really want to slow
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: down the pace of the NBA, because they're so fast,
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: now make them play just with their socks.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no tracks, could you imagine?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Well, it might as well they don't call. They don't
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: call traveling anymore. Anyway, you might as well they didn't.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: At least you can go full caruso and try and
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: block a shot with a shoe.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I know that's what I was thinking in the back
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: of my mind. He threw it, so the shoe comes off,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: He just tosses it into the stands. Yeah, just got it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Like a hockey stick. In hockey, you're not allowed to
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: touch the stick. Is that?
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Or you can't regain the stick. You can't go down
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: pick it back up again? Right, can't play with a stick?
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: No, like a broken stick if it's broken you must
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: drop it immediately.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. You can't even like half a stick,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: you can't use it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Nope. Once you realize it's broken, it's out of your
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: hands and you got to go get a new twig
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: or stay on the ice and try to defend.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: But who's in charge of moving the stick in the
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: middle of the ice?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Uh, Nope, they'll let it. They'll let it hang there
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: until the puck's out of the zone or whatever. And
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: then sometimes guys like you saw the other day in Chicago,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: there's a broken stick and they're trying to they're trying
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: to make a push. Dude took half the stick from
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: like right at the top of the circles and he
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: flung it all the way back to his own end.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: The black Hawks player, he's.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Like, get it out of the Yeah, I know you
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: guys watch them tournament games as well over the weekend.
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: I gotta tell you, my wife, who loves her Huskers,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: doesn't really care about the basketball team that was into
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: it because of you know, it's first time they've been
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: in the tournament, won a game whatever. That was the
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: most unbelievable finish I think ever, the fact that Vanderbilt's
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: heave did not go down. Those still shots have the
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: ball like three in.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: I don't know how that did not go in.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: Unreal And that would have been like the play of
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: the tournament had he finished.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Two shots over the weekend. That just had me going,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: whoa the shot that should have gone in by Vanderbilt,
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: how does.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: It pull my drop? Look at that?
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: That was a three quarter court heave. And then the
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: shot by Kentucky to beat Santa Clara. Yeah, with two
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: seconds left, the guy basically double pumping in the air
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: off the backboard. Insanity, yep, absolute insanity for those two
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: shots to occur. Hey, could you imagine if this one
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: goes in? Though, if that one goes in, that trump's
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: all of them? Uh yeah, but you know what, can
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: I make an admission? I was happy for Nebraska. Really
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: I was happy for Nebraska. I really was. I was
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: happy that Nebraska won that game.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: For what what was the emotion?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: It was just.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: They're just not there often and they took advantage of
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: their situation. And before this tournament they had never won
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: an NCAA tournament game. And now here they are in
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: the sweet sixteen and they're playing Iowa right yeah, oh
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: my god, Oh my god.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: It's the one school they hate most. Now most you
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: don't look like you have the same feeling.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm happy for Nebraska. I am.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're I know, but you're a more evolved person. Vic.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: It just that's the way it is. You're happy for
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the Lakers when they win and happy for the corn
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: when they win, and yeah, it's cool deep down inside,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: On top of that, I've been the first to admit
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: that I thought this tournament could get uh, was not
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: going to be as entertaining because of all the different
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: rule chains.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Dead wrong.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: Like, it's been unbelievably good. It's not just like the
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: the Little Engine that Could. Stories and upsets like high
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: point the fact that they almost beat Arkansas to follow
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: up beating Wisconsin in the first round. That was a
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: hell of a game. But all of these games, most
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: of them anyway.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Really tight late like really tight.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Finishes, playing hard, the rumbling, they're into it. It's been
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: a fun tournament.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: However, at the end of the day, it's still the
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: blue bloods. At the end of the day, it is
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: fun to see teams that aren't used to being there,
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: right Nebraska is not used to being there, right, They're
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: just not.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: But how far are they really gonna go? I was
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: a nine seed, therefore, I mean they they win there
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: in the Elite eight. Never would have thought that, you know,
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: but you're right. This is kind of what happens in
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: the tournament though, and this is what I want. You'll
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: weed them out a couple of weeks of like, hey,
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: could these smaller teams make it? And usually the answers know,
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: you get a win, maybe two, and then it kind
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: of weeds itself out to your Michigan States and Utah's
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: and Michigan's and all those heavyweights.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Starting to feel Yeah, it's starting to feel very chalky
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: right now, Vic, you know what I mean. It's that's
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: when you get to the sweet sixteen. I know that
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Texas has played well and they're gonna play per due,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: but I mean Texas out of the SEC is an eleven.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: You know, one of them play into but you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: it's they can put stuff together. It's starting to feel
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty damn chalky twos and threes, ones and fives,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you know that kind of thing fours in there, that stuff.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: I like the story of Fred Hoiberg and his son,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Sam Hoiberg. I just like that team. I don't know
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: what it is about it Hoiberg Oiberg and yeah the Sun,
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah Jack. I think I love Iowa. I love that
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: team that There's certain teams that you you start to
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: follow and and I guess those are the guard for Arkansas.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: That kid a Cuff. Yeah, he reminds me the way
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: he moves, Darius Acuff, the way he moves, and he's
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: a thicker version to me of Alan Iverson. I'm not
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: comparing him to AI. I'm not saying he's AI, but
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: the way he moves, the way he shoots, the way
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: he takes his body at certain angles. Watch him play
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: and tell me if that doesn't remind you of Allen Iverson.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Speaking of Iowa, did you guys see him the head
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: coach of Iowa and the head coach of Florida get
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: into it like.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Late in that game, and I'm glad Florida lost because
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: of that. Todd Golden was just being I mean, calm down.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Dude, So what was what was the beef?
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: The beef was over that loose ball that they were
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: after and the jump ball and they wouldn't give it
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: up and now who knows Todd Golden went crazy and
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: then Todd Golden went brain freeze at the end.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Of the game.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I know, well Florida again being a one seed upset
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: by the nine seed Iowa. So if you're keeping track
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: of our not another bracket challenge. By the way, the
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: leader right now is Kevin. He has four teams still alive,
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: including number nine Iowa and number eleven Texas, so we
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: hit both of those to get to the Sweet sixteen.

  Speaker 3: Well, last time I looked. Last time I looked, it
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: was Lindall.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm done because that took too many chances. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: had Utah State and all these damn teams.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Well you think you took too many chances? Lindall is Lee.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am one point behind in second place, which
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: is amazing because I thought I'd be dead last in this.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: But it turns out Berto's last.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: And if you want to know why he took number
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: ten Texas A and M, number thirteen, cow Baptists, number fourteen,
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: North Dakota State, number fifteen, Queens, and number sixteen. He
• 30:16

• 30:27
  Speaker 6: with us, no longer with us.

  Speaker 7: No teams left, although Howard was. I mean they were

  Speaker 7: up nine and a half against Michigan in that first round.

  Speaker 7: You're like, oh boy, so Moe's you are in fifth place,
• 30:39

  Speaker 7: Well, you got Duke, Illinois, Texas Tech, North Carolina and
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Saint Louis.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Saint Louis is gone. They got throttled yesterday.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: So I saw a crazy stat is he said, Is
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: it Duke and Saint John's in the next round?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: I believe? So yes.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Do you know that Duke five national titles? They've never
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: won a national title without beating Saint John's Every national
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: title they've had. Yes, every title Duke has had has
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: come with a victory over Saint John's at some point
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: in the bracket.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Goodness, Hey, before you take a break, breaking news here
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: from the NFL.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Jackson Smith in Jigba Jackson Smith, good Juba.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: I'm just gonna say, as our boy mad Dog would
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: call him, he has signed an extension four years, one
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: hundred and sixty eight point six million dollars.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: It's an average forty two point one point five per
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: that includes one hundred and twenty million guaranteed in that contract.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Well, when you win it all, you know, there come
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the prizes in the spoils. Right yeah. Wow.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: So when he played it at Ohio State, see if
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: you guys can recollect, he played on a very stacked team.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: He was not even considered the best receiver on his
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: team at the time. So Chris o'lave no, who was
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: the guy? God, somebody else helped me out. There was
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: another guy on that team who was considered wide receiver one.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Ola was.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: No, it was somebody else whose name escapes me right now.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: But the point, well, I'm just telling you when you
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: go back and look at the roster, and that's the
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: point I'm trying to make.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: But that was crazy because that was JSN For a minute.
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: Jamison Williams was there before he transferred to Bama. Was
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: it McLaurin, No, Lauren, Terry McLaurin.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: You guys figure it out. Marvin Harrison junior was on
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: that team. Yeah, that's the guy, Marvin Harrison. He was
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: considered wide receiver one. He was the guy that was
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: gonna get all the NFL.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson, No, it is Garrett Wilson.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: So it was Marvin Harrison. He was on that team
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: to they were loaded. Dude, they had receivers.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I don't think Marvin Dyson was there. I think that
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: he was too young.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Okay, well there was somebody before that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Maybe it was.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: Junior, but it was no, it was jas En, it
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: was Garrett Wilson, it was a lave.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: I think Marvin Harrison junior.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Sure, and Jamison Williams was on there before he transferred
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: to Good play.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Think about all the players you just mentioned on that
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: one Ohio State team. That's ridiculous. So that's a ridiculous
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: amount of wide receiver talent.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: He speaking to wide receivers. You talked to one before
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: the Nuggets game. I did, Marvin Mims Junior, and he
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: was pretty revealing with you about the trade for uh
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: Jaylen Waddell.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: What that means for him. We'll get to all that
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: in just a couple of minutes. Take around first and ten.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: They're going after him, going for the inso over the shoulder.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Oh Memes calls it. M What does this Waddle trade
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: mean for that guy?
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: Marvin Mims, who was the pregame guest to the Nuggets
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: game yesterday, and Vic I got two cuts here, so
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: you tell me where you want to start. One of
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: them is talking about the AFC Championship game. The other
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: is talking about Jayleen Waddle and Davis web.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Well, let's get to the heart of the matter here.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: He was a guest of ours, he was on our
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: pregame show. Marvin showed up with his entire family, mom
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: and dad, his missus. They were eager to watch the
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Nuggets play. But I could tell when it comes to
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: this Jalen Wattle business, he's a competitor. He gets it
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: when you go out and get somebody that basically fits
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: your prototype, right. I said it the day they did it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: I love the Wattle acquisition, love it. Great trade. But
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: if I'm Marvin Mimms, I'm wondering aloud, what does this
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: mean for me? Yeah, well I asked him roll it.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: The good news is Bo's gonna come back healthy. The
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: majority of your team's going to come back. The Broncos
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: just signed Jalen Wattle, and we were talking before this,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: you can never have enough talent on the team. How
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: did you react when you saw that trade?
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, I think it really surprised me, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: just bringing in a guy like that. But I mean
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: if you look at his I mean his career ever
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: since high school to college and now. I mean, he's
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: just an explosive playmaker, and I think offensively, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: he always need more playmakers. I think it'll be a
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: really fun to watch. So we'll just see how it
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: all comes out this season.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Do you ask yourself, what does that mean for me?
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: Since you guys are essentially the same type of player.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit.
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: You know, it's just interesting to see how I'll fit
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: in in the offense by the end of the day.
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: You know, just for me the past few years, I mean,
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: the thing I've taken bride In has been able to
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: play running back, you know, be the returner, be a receiver.
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: So anyway I can affect the game, you know, I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: happy to go out there and do it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the good news is, you know, talent
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: can be found, and you were a talent and you
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: proved it in that game against Buffalo. You were targeted
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: eight times, you caught touchdowns, you did a little bit
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: of everything. How do you expect the play calling to change,
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: if at all, now that Davis Webb is calling the
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: play Yeah, it will.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Be a little different.
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: You know, we'll see whenever we start practicing and in
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: the meetings and stuff like that. But especially Webb, you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: being a younger guy. You know, he's I mean he's
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: really recently removed from the league. You know, I had
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: a good tenure with the Giants, really good college career.
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: So I'm excited just to be able to learn from him,
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: him to have the you know, the headman in the
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: offense and kind of just get us going.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Okay, let me ask you a question as you talked
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: to him. The demeanor of Marvin Mims. Was it that
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: of I can't wait for the challenge or was it
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: that of somebody who was a little bit miffed?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: You think, I don't know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: If he was miffed. Is is what it is? What
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: it is type of demeanor, you know. I mean, I
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: can't change what they do. I can't. Yeah, he's proven.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: I was reading Twitter after I ran that, and somebody
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: responded with this, and I responded to him, and I
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: couldn't understand the response. Somebody said on Twitter, I love Mimes,
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: but there's a reason this move was made. He's so inconsistent,
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: to which I responded, what are you talking about? What's
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: inconsistent about Marvin Mims Outside of how he's used. When
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: he's in the game and he's thrown the ball and
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: he's given the opportunity to catch the ball and run
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: the ball, there's nothing inconsistent about him. He's always produced.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: The only inconsistency is how he's used.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's never been like, hey, Marvin Mims can't play
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: because he gets a case of the drop seas every
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: once in a while.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: That never happens.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Somebody tell me, yeah, out there where, he's inconsistent Because
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: every time I watch Marvin Mims play for the Broncos
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: and they utilize him, he thrives.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Vic. That's such a good point. He doesn't play consistently
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: enough for us to know if he's consistent, you know
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: what I mean. It's like you can't you can't. You
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: can't use a guy spot him in, spot him out,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: depending on the weak or whatever. If he was a
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: regular dude who was in the lineup all the time,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: that'd be one thing. But you can't say he's inconsistent
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: because they they don't play him enough for us to
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: get a bearing on that. So until he proves that
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: he's not, I'm saying that he is. And by the way,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I like Marvin. I like him as a guy. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: just think he's got a good head on his shoulders.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: He's eager, good teammate kind of guy. If he wanted
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: to bolt and go someplace else to try to show
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: off his wares, I wouldn't blame him.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Fellows Well, I mean, deep down, I don't know how
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: he's feeling. He did mention we were talking privately away
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: and he said, I would love to be able to
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: be on the field at the same time with Jalen
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: because you have a couple burners on the field. Put
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: him on opposite sides. And see what happens. I mean,
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: you want to scare a defense. Yeah, put two guys
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: that can go the distance.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: Well, here's the other thing. Like, I know that they
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: value him greatly as a return guy. He's the best
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: returner in the league, has been since the second he's
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: steped foot on the field of Dove Valley his rookie
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: year All Pro. My question is, as much as you
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: value that if they do not see him as a
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: piece of the offense. What if somebody comes in and says, hey,
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: I'll give you ex draft pick for it. How highly
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: do you value return men? Why would you even entertain that?
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: Can somebody explain to me? And this is a message
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: to all of Broncos country. Marvin Mims has given you
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: some of the best highlights on this team over the
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: last two years.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Yes or no?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yes or no?
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: Yes, okay Marvin Mims. Without him, you don't win the
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: game against Buffalo.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Yes or no.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, he is.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: He's a walking touchdown when he's returned. You never know
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: if he can return one or put you in great
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: field position. Why in God's name would you entertain harding
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: company with somebody like that that? That's dumb. You don't
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: trade talent. You don't trade proven talent. Now it's up
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: to you to utilize him. It's up to you to
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: inject more of him into this offense. It's not up
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: to him. His frustration is how he's you, it's not
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: how he plays.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: But that's it, though, isn't it?
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: Like if you aren't going to use him, then what's
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: the purpose? And I get it returning great Like, I'm
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: not discounting an important part of the three phases of football.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: With your special teams.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: But if that's all he's going to be, because now
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: he had a hard enough time getting on the field
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: when it was without Jaalen Model, when it was Troy
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: Franklin and Pat Bryant and little Jordan Humphrey, Well that
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: only moves him down a slot. Now, what do you
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: accuse Sean Payton of when it comes to receivers being hightest? Okay,
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: did you happen to see the interview I did with
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: Marvin Mims?
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't see it in its entirety.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: Now did you see it?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Newie?
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: Did go ahead and tell these guys how tall am
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: I next to Marvin Mims? And what do you consider me.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: I thought you looked short.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: You're in the ballpark.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Ballpark, we're the same size. Well, yeah, I have the
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: tweets saved over here.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: We're the same size. Hang on, So if you if
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: your contention is there's some I don't know what the
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: term you use, I said, heightestightst If that's the contention,
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: then you see what's going on here. But then they
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: go out and get it who's smaller.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: That's what doesn't compute with me, is like, if that's
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: the case, you just went out and got somebody that
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: is the same, the.
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: Same exact size. I mean, come on, dude, but sorry,
• 41:30
  Speaker 10: I can't say I know you can't. They're the same, dude,
• 41:33
  Speaker 10: they're the same high.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Now you're you're closer to the camera. He's further away.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: That's why you look the same.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: Most I'm not closer to the camera. Shut up, you're
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: not there.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Nope, he is not.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: I'm not closer to the camera with the same size.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: We went back to back after the show. He might
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: be like a half an inch. The point is, The
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: point is I don't know. The point is I don't.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if you're talented, Yeah, doesn't matter. Why
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: should that matter. You don't win the Buffalo game without
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: that man on that screen right there.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Put him on the field.
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, do you this might seem Yeah, it is silly
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: because I know that they were in on trades at
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: the deadline surrounding Jaylen Moddel's name. But I wondered, with
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: Davis Webb calling the plays, did that make it easier
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: to facilitate a trade.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: For somebody like Jalen Watt.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: I'm being dead serious about this because I can't figure
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: anything else out about why Marvin Mims doesn't play more.
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: And you ask anybody. Look, there's few people in this
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: world whose football judgment I trust more than Jeff Lagwald.
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: Jeff Lakewald just told us last week. You guys, remember
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: what he said to us about Mims. It is the
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: most one of the most confusing things that he's ever
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: experienced in his decades covering football, of why that guy
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: doesn't play.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: Here's another texture and again textures. Tell me why you
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: feel this way, because I don't. I have no idea
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: what you're talking about. This is from two nine to
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: five six. Waddle is better, Franklin is better. That's why
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: you get that pickback that you how is Troy. I'm
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: just I'm trying to figure this out. Why would you
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: consider and this is nothing against Troy Franklin, why is
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: he better than Marvin Mims because he's taller.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Inconsistency is a lot easier label to throw at Troy
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: Franklin than it is Marvin.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: But the word better, I would agree with that.
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: The word better, How do you label him better in
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: what what I think opportunity because he's gotten a lot
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: more opportunity.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, if Marvin Mims had the
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: same opportunity that Troy Franklin had, I think his production
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: would be much higher than what Franklins was.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I really do, and.
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: I've just I've seen it too many times of like
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: the stretch of games that Marvin Mims put together in
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: the second half of last year, not this AFC championship season.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: The one before that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: Was as good as any wide receiver play we've seen
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: in years around here. And then he stopped playing at
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: the beginning of the season. Again, you are what your coaches.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: Allow you to become a lot of times, and that's
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: what you are. And for those of you who watch
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: a football game and you don't see the talent in
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: Marvin Mims and what he can become. You're blind. I agree,
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: you're blind. I don't know what you're watching, because every
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: time he touches the ball, he does something dynamic. Every
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: time he's given an opportunity, he thrives. And if you
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: don't see that, open your freaking eyes.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: After a win over Portland is sporting a healthy roster.
• 44:36
