- 0:27Speaker 3: of minutes. Again, if you missed that interview we just
- 0:30Speaker 3: had with Joe Sackick, that will be on the podcast
- 0:32Speaker 3: shortly as he talks about signing Cale and heading into
- 0:35Speaker 3: this year. It is weird, man, because you're right. Av
- 0:41Speaker 3: season starts in 29 days.
- 0:44Speaker 2: That fast.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Coming right around the corner. So I was just asking Moj, Nelly,
- 0:47Speaker 3: do you know this? When are we going to start
- 0:49Speaker 3: talking to Bedsy again? Is that like three weeks, four weeks,
- 0:51Speaker 3: somewhere in there? Got to be.
- 0:53Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but yeah, now it's the time of
- 0:54Speaker 4: year that we got to figure that out. So I
- 0:56Speaker 4: will work on that and let you know.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Hey, speaking of the Avs, by the way, Bernie, the mascot,
- 1:01Speaker 3: he's up for an award. USA Today is looking for
- 1:03Speaker 3: the best NHL mascot, and Bernie's in the running. So
- 1:06Speaker 3: if you want to vote for Bernie, just text BERNIE
- 1:10Speaker 3: to 303-504-0925, and we'll send you a link.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I've seen them all.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Seen them all what?
- 1:15Speaker 2: Every single one of them.
- 1:16Speaker 3: The mascots?
- 1:17Speaker 2: In the NHL, yeah. Great.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Lucky man you are.
- 1:23Speaker 2: He's really good.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Who's it?
- 1:26Speaker 2: What?
- 1:26Speaker 3: Probably Gritty is going to win.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Probably. He's weird.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Some of these mascots are kind of lame.
- 1:34Speaker 3: So anyway, we'll talk to Adam Schefter here in just
- 1:36Speaker 3: a second. Again, as we are awaiting this one last
- 1:40Speaker 3: sort of dead week until the football season officially kicks off. Now,
- 1:46Speaker 3: I do want to ask if Adam has any information
- 1:49Speaker 3: on what's going to happen with Jonathan Cooper now that
- 1:51Speaker 3: a court date is set. Will he be taken off
- 1:55Speaker 3: the exempt list and then eventually be allowed to play
- 2:00Speaker 3: in the meantime until that? Because that's not the only thing. Like,
- 2:02Speaker 3: think about it, guys. I just saw that Shiloh Sanders,
- 2:05Speaker 3: his court case just started yesterday.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:08Speaker 3: And remember, Deion is supposed to be deposed at some
- 2:12Speaker 3: point in this. On Thursday.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Or Friday.
- 2:16Speaker 3: On game day?
- 2:16Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Like, via Zoom.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Oh, so they're going to do it via Zoom.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Okay.
- 2:22Speaker 3: So at least he's going to be able... It's not
- 2:23Speaker 3: going to be like you got to hop on a
- 2:24Speaker 3: PJ real quick and fly to the game in Georgia Tech.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Two witness depositions on Monday identified Shiloh as the aggressor
- 2:32Speaker 6: in a 2015 incident in Texas where school security guard.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 2:37Speaker 6: You know, a lot of this case, man, is here's
- 2:39Speaker 6: an adult gets into a fight with a young man.
- 2:42Speaker 3: It sounds.
- 2:44Speaker 2: It sounds fishy to me, to be totally honest.
- 2:47Speaker 3: The problem is that guy, he suffered, like, I think
- 2:50Speaker 3: life-altering injuries, something with the neck.
- 2:53Speaker 2: He claims. We don't know all the circumstances.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Adam Schefter joins us now on the Ramos Law Hotline.
- 2:58Speaker 3: I know that you're the NFL guy, Adam, but do
- 3:01Speaker 3: you have any information? Like the Deion Sanders, he's going
- 3:04Speaker 3: to be deposed in his son's bankruptcy case or anything
- 3:07Speaker 3: like that. Do you have any information on that?
- 3:10Speaker 5: No. I don't even know anything about this. First I'm
- 3:12Speaker 5: hearing about it. Gotcha.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Uh, we can just move on then. Can I go
- 3:16Speaker 3: from court case to court case with you?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Uh, so with Jonathan Cooper, he's on the commissioner's exempt
- 3:21Speaker 3: list right now, but his court case is set for
- 3:23Speaker 3: November 10th. Typically what happens can, will the NFL take
- 3:28Speaker 3: him off this and let him play until the court
- 3:30Speaker 3: case or what, what usually happens?
- 3:32Speaker 5: Well, I think we're a little bit uncharted territory.
- 3:36Speaker 7: Um, It's a situation where I think the NFL is always,
- 3:42Speaker 7: always going to err to the side of caution. They
- 3:47Speaker 7: don't care that he's missing football games, frankly, right now.
- 3:51Speaker 7: They care about making sure that the integrity and image
- 3:55Speaker 7: of the league is upheld. That is the most important
- 3:58Speaker 7: thing to them. And if there is information that surfaces
- 4:01Speaker 7: that shows that Jonathan Cooper will prove that he's innocent,
- 4:05Speaker 7: then he would play. And if there's not, then it'll
- 4:07Speaker 7: just linger out there until there is clarity or until
- 4:11Speaker 7: the NFL has the information it needs, whenever that is.
- 4:14Speaker 6: Well, because his next court date is not expected until
- 4:17Speaker 6: early November.
- 4:18Speaker 5: So you mean to tell me that could just— Right,
- 4:19Speaker 5: November 10th, I think.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the NFL is not.
- 4:25Speaker 5: In any rush. They don't care that Jonathan Cooper is
- 4:27Speaker 5: not playing. I think they would care about being fair.
- 4:30Speaker 7: But they care about, again, preserving the image and integrity
- 4:35Speaker 7: of the league, and that's very important to the league.
- 4:37Speaker 2: So that's obviously then a big setback for the Denver Broncos. Adam,
- 4:40Speaker 2: we were talking about it earlier. Isn't that the way
- 4:42Speaker 2: coaches don't have to prepare now? Sean Payton, like this guy,
- 4:45Speaker 2: he's not dead to us, but I just, I can't
- 4:46Speaker 2: even think about him. I've got to think about now
- 4:49Speaker 2: how to get this rotation at defensive end or linebacker,
- 4:52Speaker 2: how to get that correct.
- 4:55Speaker 5: I think that's right.
- 4:55Speaker 7: I think that you have to operate as if he's
- 4:58Speaker 7: not there, not going to be there until he is there.
- 5:02Speaker 7: They know that they can't count on having him the
- 5:05Speaker 7: early part of the season. And if, by the way,
- 5:07Speaker 7: something develops and it happens to be that he is
- 5:11Speaker 7: available and eligible, then great.
- 5:13Speaker 5: But right now you can't think that way if you're
- 5:15Speaker 5: the Broncos.
- 5:16Speaker 3: So Adam Schefter with us. I was watching the waiver
- 5:18Speaker 3: wire yesterday. The Dolphins picked up two Broncos players who
- 5:21Speaker 3: won waivers, one of them being the fifth-round pick, Justin Jolie.
- 5:24Speaker 3: What I didn't know until I was reading further into
- 5:26Speaker 3: it and saw your tweet, they claimed seven players off
- 5:29Speaker 3: of waivers, which first of all feels like it's got
- 5:31Speaker 3: to be close to a record. Second of all, what
- 5:34Speaker 3: by percentage of cap, they're paying $ 181 million in dead
- 5:38Speaker 3: cap to guys who aren't on the roster. Do you
- 5:41Speaker 3: know a team that's been close to that in recent memory?
- 5:44Speaker 6: No, no.
- 5:45Speaker 5: The Broncos, when they carried Russell Wilson's money, it was
- 5:49Speaker 5: $ 140 million.
- 5:51Speaker 7: So this is $ 182.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Million in dead cap space.
- 5:55Speaker 7: So I don't think we've ever seen anything like that
- 5:58Speaker 7: at this point in time. It's an extraordinary number. They
- 6:02Speaker 7: claimed seven players. I don't remember the last time I
- 6:04Speaker 7: saw a team claim seven players on waivers. They've got
- 6:09Speaker 7: a lot of rookies on their roster. Is that how
- 6:11Speaker 7: you pronounce the pet in?
- 6:13Speaker 5: Jolie? Jolie.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Jolie.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Justin Jolie? I didn't realize that. Okay, well.
- 6:19Speaker 7: Justin Jolie may go on to have a great career
- 6:23Speaker 7: in Miami, but I think Denver obviously saw what it saw,
- 6:27Speaker 7: and it's the reason that the Broncos waived him.
- 6:30Speaker 6: You know, it seems like Sean Payton is smart, and
- 6:33Speaker 6: he and George Payton are working the margins. When they
- 6:38Speaker 6: construct their roster, they always have a couple veterans that
- 6:41Speaker 6: they throw to the practice squad, so they don't end
- 6:43Speaker 6: up on the roster early, but they bring them back.
- 6:45Speaker 6: Is that sort of the mode now? Is that what
- 6:47Speaker 6: every team is doing? Because Sean's been doing that for
- 6:49Speaker 6: a couple of years now.
- 6:51Speaker 7: Well, they changed the practice squad rules. So like Josh
- 6:53Speaker 7: Johnson just signed with the Bengals practice squad. He was
- 6:55Speaker 7: in Cincinnati's camp. And I think you have to know.
- 6:58Speaker 7: When they have a feel, you have a feel. Who's
- 7:00Speaker 7: going to be claimed? Who's not going to be claimed?
- 7:02Speaker 7: Who's going to sign?
- 7:03Speaker 5: Who wants to come back? You're talking to the guy.
- 7:05Speaker 7: So if you have a great relationship with the guy
- 7:08Speaker 7: and he's happy with your team, of course they want
- 7:10Speaker 7: to be on the roster.
- 7:10Speaker 5: There's a lot of money at stake.
- 7:12Speaker 7: But if he knows that, look, the truth of the
- 7:14Speaker 7: matter is, I mean, you can cut a veteran and
- 7:17Speaker 7: if he's got a team that's going to give him
- 7:19Speaker 7: a roster spot, he's going to go there. But if not,
- 7:21Speaker 7: chances are he'll just stay where he is and he'll
- 7:24Speaker 7: continue on in the practice squad. But of course they're
- 7:26Speaker 7: going to want, they're going to want a regular roster
- 7:30Speaker 7: spot with a regular salary, but if there's not one there,
- 7:32Speaker 7: if they have a good relationship and they like being
- 7:35Speaker 7: in that organization, then they'll go back to that practice squad.
- 7:38Speaker 6: Okay, is there a standardized practice squad? Like, could you
- 7:41Speaker 6: throw the practice squad players a couple extra bucks to
- 7:44Speaker 6: stick around?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Or is it, hey, man, this is what you get,
- 7:47Speaker 3: and that's what every NFL player gets? In other words,
- 7:50Speaker 3: can the Broncos buy practice squad players to pay them more?
- 7:53Speaker 5: Well, I think you can.
- 7:56Speaker 7: But every team has the same salary cap. So if
- 7:59Speaker 7: you decided to blow a million dollars on a practice
- 8:02Speaker 7: squad player, like, I don't know why you'd be doing that.
- 8:04Speaker 5: Why he'd be getting a million dollars and why somebody
- 8:06Speaker 5: wouldn't be picking him up in their roster. So yeah, yeah.
- 8:09Speaker 7: I think you can pay a practice squad veteran more,
- 8:14Speaker 7: but I think there are limits.
- 8:15Speaker 5: And like, why are you going to do that if
- 8:16Speaker 5: he's on the practice squad? Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
- 8:21Speaker 2: We talk NFL quarterbacks, Adam. I see some teams have
- 8:24Speaker 2: four at the moment. Some teams have two at the moment,
- 8:27Speaker 2: like the Jets. They just named the kid as their
- 8:29Speaker 2: backup to Geno. But the Broncos, they kept three. And
- 8:32Speaker 2: there was a time, I think, in the league where
- 8:34Speaker 2: three quarterbacks was the standard. Everybody had three, so on.
- 8:37Speaker 2: And then it started to really move away from that
- 8:40Speaker 2: some years ago. but they didn't want Ellinger to go anyplace.
- 8:43Speaker 2: When you talk to executives around the league, what is
- 8:45Speaker 2: their ideal situation, or is it just whatever fits that
- 8:49Speaker 2: particular franchise?
- 8:51Speaker 5: Well, first of all, it's the most important position in sports.
- 8:54Speaker 7: Secondly, it's important to have chemistry in that room, to
- 8:57Speaker 7: have guys that really like each other and like being
- 8:59Speaker 7: around each other. So you want the position to be solidified.
- 9:02Speaker 7: You want the room to be strong. There's a lot
- 9:05Speaker 7: of elements in place that you want to have happen.
- 9:09Speaker 7: So whatever it takes to secure that position. Yeah, we
- 9:13Speaker 7: saw a bunch of teams this year carry four. because
- 9:16Speaker 7: sometimes they're betting on the upside of a player, like
- 9:19Speaker 7: the Eagles drafted Cole Payton, the quarterback, and saw enough there.
- 9:22Speaker 7: They want to keep him. The Browns drafted Taylor Green,
- 9:25Speaker 7: and I've seen enough there. They want to keep him.
- 9:29Speaker 7: So it just depends. But quarterbacks are valuable. So whatever
- 9:32Speaker 7: you can do to keep the right guys, you're going
- 9:34Speaker 7: to do that at all times. But there's no right
- 9:37Speaker 7: or wrong. I'm sure some teams have two. I'm sure
- 9:41Speaker 7: some teams have four. Some teams have three.
- 9:43Speaker 5: It just.
- 9:44Speaker 7: You know, you want to do whatever you can to
- 9:46Speaker 7: secure that position in the best way possible.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Adam Schefter with us, ESPN. Explain this one to me, please, Adam.
- 9:52Speaker 3: The Dolphins are in cap hell because they're paying a
- 9:55Speaker 3: whole bunch of money to guys who aren't on the roster.
- 9:57Speaker 3: And then the Rams have spent money on everything. over
- 10:00Speaker 3: the last five years and then found $ 20 million in
- 10:03Speaker 3: a couch cushion to sign Donald back. How did they
- 10:05Speaker 3: get this cash? How does that work for them?
- 10:09Speaker 7: Well, first of all, teams can always spend whatever cash
- 10:13Speaker 7: they want to spend.
- 10:13Speaker 5: That's number one. Cash is king in the league.
- 10:17Speaker 7: And, but, but everybody's got the same cap space.
- 10:21Speaker 5: And so the Rams found the cap space.
- 10:23Speaker 7: And I think that obviously it's like a credit.
- 10:25Speaker 5: It's like, it's like an allowance. If I give you
- 10:27Speaker 5: a hundred dollars, you'd go spend $ 80 at the nightclub,
- 10:30Speaker 5: but you only have $ 20 to pay your bills on Sunday.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Right?
- 10:33Speaker 7: Like, so it's just a question of what you want
- 10:36Speaker 7: to do and how you want to spend it. And
- 10:37Speaker 7: it's no different for the Rams. They're just spending it
- 10:39Speaker 7: in high profile places right now. And so you're seeing it.
- 10:44Speaker 7: But I know that initially when the idea of Aaron
- 10:46Speaker 7: Donald came up, I was told it was going to
- 10:49Speaker 7: be very hard to afford him. So however they did it,
- 10:52Speaker 7: like they structured the contract. It's like I think it's
- 10:55Speaker 7: the salary cap charge is closer to 10 million. But
- 10:58Speaker 7: then it's they push the money into future years. eventually
- 11:02Speaker 7: they're going to have to pay the bill. A better analogy,
- 11:05Speaker 7: the best analogy, of course, is credit cards. You could
- 11:08Speaker 7: go to the mall and go buy $ 10, 000 worth of things,
- 11:12Speaker 7: and you could pay up that bill however you want
- 11:14Speaker 7: to pay it off, but eventually that bill is going
- 11:16Speaker 7: to be paid off, sometimes with interest, okay? So you
- 11:20Speaker 7: could go have a great day, at the Cherry Creek
- 11:22Speaker 7: mall right now, but that bill is going to come
- 11:25Speaker 7: due and the bill is going to come due for
- 11:26Speaker 7: the Rams. It may be more so in 27 and
- 11:30Speaker 7: 28 than it is in 26, but the bill is
- 11:32Speaker 7: going to come due.
- 11:34Speaker 3: The other question about surrounding Aaron Donald and, and look
- 11:37Speaker 3: for my money in my lifetime, I'm 36. I think
- 11:40Speaker 3: he's the best defensive player I've ever seen. Like to
- 11:42Speaker 3: dominate from the interior of a defensive line like he
- 11:44Speaker 3: did is crazy. But he's been out of the game
- 11:47Speaker 3: for three years. Is there a question to like, how
- 11:50Speaker 3: effective is he going to be? Because I think people
- 11:53Speaker 3: are expecting him to be the same guy from three
- 11:54Speaker 3: years ago. And I'm like, that'd be tough.
- 11:57Speaker 7: Well, I think that was part of what was going
- 12:00Speaker 7: on here during the entire time that you had him
- 12:05Speaker 7: staying away and working out on his own and getting
- 12:08Speaker 7: back in football shape is that, you know, they wanted
- 12:13Speaker 7: to make sure, he wanted to make sure that, that
- 12:17Speaker 7: he was going to be able to help the Rams
- 12:21Speaker 7: when he came back.
- 12:22Speaker 5: He wanted to feel like he was as close to
- 12:24Speaker 5: being Aaron Donald as he could. Is he going to
- 12:26Speaker 5: be the same player?
- 12:27Speaker 2: No.
- 12:28Speaker 7: Is he going to be the defensive player of the year?
- 12:29Speaker 7: That would surprise me. Is he going to be a
- 12:31Speaker 7: really tough player that other teams get to game? Yes.
- 12:35Speaker 5: I do think that that's going to be the case.
- 12:37Speaker 7: And when you pair him with miles Garrett, it's going
- 12:40Speaker 7: to become even more so like that.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Hey, how does the NFL think about these players?
- 12:46Speaker 6: Who go to training camps, play for the team for
- 12:49Speaker 6: a bit, and then go back to college.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Does the NFL have any say so? I mean, the
- 12:54Speaker 3: colleges care. What does the NFL think?
- 12:56Speaker 7: Yeah, but the NFL has made it clear. It sent
- 12:59Speaker 7: out a memo last week at the owner's meetings, Vic. Like,
- 13:01Speaker 7: players aren't allowed to be in two drafts. Like, you're
- 13:04Speaker 7: in one draft. You get drafted, great.
- 13:06Speaker 5: You're going to be eligible for one draft in your life.
- 13:10Speaker 5: That's it.
- 13:10Speaker 7: You can't be eligible, try out, go back to college,
- 13:14Speaker 7: reenter the draft.
- 13:15Speaker 5: It ain't going to happen like that.
- 13:17Speaker 7: So the league has existing rules in place. We've never
- 13:21Speaker 7: really known about them. We've never known that they had
- 13:23Speaker 7: to be enforced or even read aloud. But that's what's
- 13:27Speaker 7: going on right now. There are rules against this. The
- 13:29Speaker 7: league is safeguarded against this. They will continue to do so.
- 13:32Speaker 7: And it's only come to light now with all the
- 13:34Speaker 7: recent current events in the football and college football world.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Well, you talked to Moj 20 years ago. I couldn't
- 13:40Speaker 2: even believe where we are now, Adam. And I couldn't
- 13:42Speaker 2: believe that it's even possible for a guy to be
- 13:45Speaker 2: a free agent or whatever it is, be in an
- 13:47Speaker 2: NFL training camp and then go back to college. But
- 13:50Speaker 2: I mean, that's, it's just the wild West nowadays. You
- 13:53Speaker 2: know what I mean? It's just, nothing surprises me anymore.
- 13:57Speaker 7: Well, we're in unprecedented times and these are, I mean, honestly,
- 14:00Speaker 7: it's like, You could have a player making more playing
- 14:04Speaker 7: for LSU than you could playing in the NFL. That
- 14:08Speaker 7: tells you where we're at, the oddity of today. How
- 14:11Speaker 7: could a player actually make more from LSU than the
- 14:14Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns?
- 14:16Speaker 5: But that's possible, and that's the world we're living in.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Last thing for you, Adam. Appreciate the time. I know
- 14:21Speaker 3: it's the week before the week, but what's your number
- 14:24Speaker 3: one story heading into the season?
- 14:27Speaker 2: Oh.
- 14:27Speaker 5: Number one story heading into the season.
- 14:33Speaker 7: Honestly, what I would just say is that the games
- 14:35Speaker 7: are here. Like week one is coming. There's going to
- 14:38Speaker 7: be great storylines that are in fold. Like every summer,
- 14:40Speaker 7: there's something last summer. It was the summer of Micah Parsons.
- 14:45Speaker 7: The year before was the summer of, I think it
- 14:48Speaker 7: was like wide receiver holdouts, like CD lamb. This summer
- 14:52Speaker 7: was Aaron Donald.
- 14:53Speaker 5: He's back.
- 14:54Speaker 7: So to me, you know, going into the season, what's
- 14:57Speaker 7: the number one story? Well, who's going to win the
- 14:59Speaker 7: Superbowl in LA? Like that's the number one story. It's,
- 15:02Speaker 7: It's predictable, but it's true like that. Everybody's starting the
- 15:05Speaker 7: season and there's a lot of teams that believe that
- 15:08Speaker 7: they're in a good spot and where they need to
- 15:10Speaker 7: be to have a realistic chance to make a realistic
- 15:12Speaker 7: run at reaching the Super Bowl in LA, which if
- 15:15Speaker 7: you haven't heard, it's on ABC and ESPN.
- 15:17Speaker 3: There you go. Adam Schefter joins us every single week.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Appreciate the time, Adam.
- 15:20Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Heard a little something about that. Good to see you, buddy. Thanks, man.
- 15:24Speaker 5: Guys, have a great week. We'll talk next week after
- 15:26Speaker 5: Labor Day. That's wild too.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Wow. Adam Schefter joins us every single Thursday.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Thanks, Adam.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Again, I do. It sounds dumb because, Moshe, I know
- 15:36Speaker 3: you're all gung-ho about Donald and Garrett playing together. When's
- 15:41Speaker 3: the last time a guy in the NFL hasn't played
- 15:42Speaker 3: for three years and came back?
- 15:45Speaker 2: I mean, we just watched it with Gabe. Yeah, that
- 15:47Speaker 2: doesn't happen in the NFL.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Three years?
- 15:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't happen. Not in the NFL, it doesn't.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I was thinking about the other thing, too.
- 15:53Speaker 6: You mentioned about the Rams going all in, and they
- 15:56Speaker 6: clearly are. I mean, if there's a time to go
- 15:59Speaker 6: all in, it'd be now because also the Super Bowl
- 16:01Speaker 6: is in L.A.
- 16:03Speaker 2: It's at SoFi.
- 16:04Speaker 3: So if there's ever a year to take a big swing, this.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Is it for them.
- 16:09Speaker 3: It's Super Bowl and SoFi. You have a 38-year-old quarterback
- 16:13Speaker 3: who's coming off an MVP season. Who knows how long.
- 16:15Speaker 2: That's going to last.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you take a big swing?
- 16:19Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 16:19Speaker 2: 303-504-0925.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Back after this. All right. Back to back. Big time interviews.
- 16:24Speaker 2: We had....
- 16:26Speaker 3: Joe Sackick followed up by Adam Schefter. So if you
- 16:28Speaker 3: missed that, it'll be on the podcast shortly. iTunes, Spotify, Mojo, Lombardi,
- 16:32Speaker 3: and Kane. Reminder to you guys, we have the Rock, Paper,
- 16:36Speaker 3: Scissors contest. We're sending somebody tonight to Kansas City. A
- 16:40Speaker 3: trip for two, airfare, hotel, and tickets to the Opener.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Denver at KC, and if you did not qualify via text,
- 16:48Speaker 3: you can just show up there tonight at Rooftop Social
- 16:50Speaker 3: in Rhino, and we're picking at least four people to
- 16:53Speaker 3: participate in this thing.
- 16:54Speaker 2: It seems like it's still too good of a prize, man.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Who told you that?
- 16:58Speaker 3: That's happening at 6 o'clock tonight, so come by, say hi,
- 17:01Speaker 3: and maybe you got a chance.
- 17:02Speaker 5: Who knows?
- 17:03Speaker 3: An at-large bid going to KC?
- 17:05Speaker 2: So what am I supposed to do between now and
- 17:07Speaker 2: the kickoff on the 14th? Well, there's a lot of
- 17:10Speaker 2: other football games. Yeah, true, true. I mean, starting Thursday night,
- 17:14Speaker 2: I dig.
- 17:15Speaker 6: What's funny about these games this week, these college games,
- 17:19Speaker 6: first of all, it's not funny, it's interesting. The big rivalry,
- 17:22Speaker 6: the in-state rivalry games. Do you know who plays in
- 17:24Speaker 6: the Apple Cup?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Washington and Washington State. That's this week. Yeah, but
- 17:29Speaker 2: Washington State, bro, they're homeless. I know, I know, but
- 17:32Speaker 2: I mean, what.
- 17:33Speaker 6: Used to be reserved for late season, rivalry week, it's
- 17:37Speaker 6: now week one, right?
- 17:38Speaker 3: So is the border war. Wyoming and CSU.
- 17:42Speaker 2: It's week one now.
- 17:44Speaker 6: A lot of these games, because of the change in
- 17:46Speaker 6: conferences and all this stuff, they're moving their dates, and
- 17:50Speaker 6: now at least you kick off the season with a bang.
- 17:54Speaker 3: I'm looking something up right now because I just saw
- 17:56Speaker 3: Bronco Nagurski.
- 18:01Speaker 2: What about him?
- 18:03Speaker 3: So he retired from the Bears in 1937 due to
- 18:06Speaker 3: a contract dispute, and then he came back to play
- 18:08Speaker 3: in 1943. It's a pretty long layoff between playing.
- 18:15Speaker 6: In other sports, I mean, World War II caused a
- 18:18Speaker 6: wreak havoc, obviously. Ted Williams took time off. Yogi Berra
- 18:22Speaker 6: took time off. Bob Feller took time off.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Baseball shut down for a year, like for four years.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Bronco Nagurski came back and he had 16 carries for
- 18:30Speaker 3: 84 yards. That was the rest of his career.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Yeah, so he came back a little less than he
- 18:35Speaker 2: was before. You know, you've got... Vic, you were talking
- 18:38Speaker 2: about the spreads this week, right? Overall, even on the
- 18:41Speaker 2: weekend itself, you know, 27 and a half, 42 and
- 18:45Speaker 2: a half, 40 and a half, 31 and a half,
- 18:47Speaker 2: except LSU against Clemson. That's already a pretty damn big
- 18:54Speaker 2: game to start things out.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Wait a minute. Sorry. One last thing on this.
- 18:56Speaker 5: How can we forget?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Guys, this just happened the year before last year. Somebody
- 19:02Speaker 3: was out of the league for four years and came
- 19:04Speaker 3: back and played. Phil Rivers?
- 19:05Speaker 2: Phil Rivers, yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 3: I totally forgot Philip Rivers came back and plays.
- 19:09Speaker 2: As a short stint.
- 19:10Speaker 3: It was, it was, it was, you know, not even half.
- 19:15Speaker 3: It played in three games. Yeah. College football starting up though.
- 19:18Speaker 3: I do want to go back. We were talking about
- 19:19Speaker 3: CU for a second. Um, and a texture said, maybe
- 19:24Speaker 3: I said about Juju coming back to the same system.
- 19:26Speaker 3: What I meant was the same team really just in,
- 19:28Speaker 3: in college football. If you have a quarterback that returns
- 19:31Speaker 3: to the same team, that's a rarity. You don't get
- 19:34Speaker 3: guys who play two years in a row, and I
- 19:36Speaker 3: think you should have a pretty high expectation, despite the
- 19:38Speaker 3: fact that Juju's still, what, 18? But two years at
- 19:42Speaker 3: the same place, I think, expect something from him.
- 19:47Speaker 2: College football has become the ultimate mystery.
- 19:50Speaker 6: Box because of all the transfers and all the new
- 19:52Speaker 6: players and all the, just everybody's gone. And you start
- 19:57Speaker 6: a new every season. I can't wait to see what
- 20:00Speaker 6: the buffs look like Thursday night, because I have no idea.
- 20:03Speaker 2: It's a new offense. It's a new coordinator.
- 20:05Speaker 6: It's a new defensive coordinator, bunch of new players. I
- 20:08Speaker 6: have no idea what we're going to see. And you're
- 20:11Speaker 6: lying to yourself if you think you do. I hope
- 20:14Speaker 6: what I don't see is more, like, timeout errors and
- 20:18Speaker 6: costly turnovers and penalties and this and that because that
- 20:23Speaker 6: won't bode well.
- 20:23Speaker 3: That's such a great point, Vic. Like, if nothing else,
- 20:27Speaker 3: can we eliminate this? Can I set this standard for
- 20:29Speaker 3: CU this year? Because I don't know what their record's
- 20:30Speaker 3: going to be. I don't know how good their team is.
- 20:32Speaker 3: I don't know any of that stuff. Can we just
- 20:34Speaker 3: set a baseline here going into year four for Deion
- 20:37Speaker 3: and Can we cut out the mental BS, the mental
- 20:42Speaker 3: miscues that happen seemingly every week?
- 20:44Speaker 2: Do you call timeout there?
- 20:45Speaker 3: Like clock management stuff, when to use timeouts.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Do you call timeout there?
- 20:50Speaker 3: Pre-snap penalties. Can we just cut that stuff out for
- 20:53Speaker 3: this year?
- 20:54Speaker 2: So when was the time to call timeout?
- 20:57Speaker 3: I'm telling you, do you guys remember? I was like
- 20:59Speaker 3: incensed last year after that.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I know. I think everybody should have been. All of
- 21:03Speaker 2: us fans should have been.
- 21:04Speaker 3: And I was like, don't. I've played Madden. I know
- 21:09Speaker 3: when to use my timeouts. Okay, don't act like I'm
- 21:12Speaker 3: crazy for saying you should have taken a timeout.
- 21:14Speaker 2: I'm one of those good weather men.
- 21:16Speaker 3: This felt like, it felt like the Hackett first game
- 21:21Speaker 3: where you're seeing, you know, Peyton's doing this over and
- 21:24Speaker 3: over again on the Monday Night Football set. And it's like,
- 21:27Speaker 3: everybody knows that's when you take the timeout. But to
- 21:29Speaker 3: be in the post game and tell me, act like
- 21:33Speaker 3: I'm wrong.
- 21:33Speaker 2: No. Let's do drills that say.
- 21:35Speaker 3: It won't rain.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Actually, this CU game against Georgia Tech, I am looking
- 21:41Speaker 6: at the lines. I'm looking at the point spreads of
- 21:43Speaker 6: all college football this week. It's really when college football
- 21:46Speaker 6: gets going. Do you know, I've counted right now. I'm
- 21:50Speaker 6: going down this list. There are less than 10 games
- 21:54Speaker 6: on the slate.
- 21:56Speaker 3: 10 out of what?
- 21:59Speaker 2: 60? Less than 10.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Games with single-digit point spreads.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Think about that.
- 22:06Speaker 3: For the entire first week?
- 22:07Speaker 2: For the entire first week of college football.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Every game's a blowout. Every game is expected to be
- 22:12Speaker 3: a blowout.
- 22:13Speaker 6: I mean, Old Dominion's favored by 41.5 over Norfolk State.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Ohio State's favored by 50 over Ball State. Virginia Tech, 55.5
- 22:23Speaker 6: over VMI. BYU, 51.5 over Utah Tech. What the hell
- 22:29Speaker 6: is Utah Tech?
- 22:31Speaker 2: Never heard of it.
- 22:32Speaker 5: What in God?
- 22:34Speaker 1: What is Utah Tech?
- 22:37Speaker 3: Speaking of, never heard of? Guys, I got a couple
- 22:39Speaker 3: more for you as I'm going down this list.
- 22:42Speaker 2: UTSA, which, again, they have a football program.
- 22:47Speaker 6: UTSA is favored by 28.5 over something called UT Rio GV.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Again, UT, University of Texas, Rio GV.
- 23:01Speaker 2: That's Rio Galveston. Rio Grande Valley, okay. It's got to
- 23:05Speaker 2: be Galveston. No, it's Rio Grande Valley. Is that what
- 23:07Speaker 2: that is?
- 23:07Speaker 3: It's got to be Rio Grande, right? Rio Grande something.
- 23:09Speaker 2: When the hell is that?
- 23:11Speaker 4: And by the way, Utah Tech was what used to
- 23:13Speaker 4: be Dixie State.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Oh, that's right.
- 23:16Speaker 2: That's what we talked about them before. Dixie State in Utah,
- 23:18Speaker 2: that's right. Here it is, Vic. I got it for you.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Where is it?
- 23:22Speaker 2: It's a public research university with its main campus in Edinburgh, Texas.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Oh, hang on, hang on. New Mexico State is playing Mercyhurst. Yeah,
- 23:32Speaker 3: I looked at that one, too. Where is Mercyhurst?
- 23:35Speaker 5: Hang on, hang on, hang on.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Let's just offer a suggestion.
- 23:38Speaker 6: I'm going to say Mercyhurst is in Mississippi or Arkansas.
- 23:42Speaker 2: No, I bet it's in New Jersey. Where is it?
- 23:45Speaker 3: Look, I would have guessed more with Vic because I
- 23:47Speaker 3: think of Mercy. It's got to be like Jersey. Oh, Mercy.
- 23:49Speaker 3: I just think Southern.
- 23:50Speaker 2: It's not.
- 23:50Speaker 3: It's Pennsylvania.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Pennsylvania. Okay.
- 23:52Speaker 6: Tennessee is favored by 46.5 over Furman.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Where's Furman located?
- 23:56Speaker 2: Furman is in Carolina, right? Yeah, it's in North Carolina,
- 23:59Speaker 2: I believe.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Is Furman in the Carolinas? I don't know.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Check it out.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Oh, if you're looking it up. Yeah, Greenville, South Carolina.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Oh, South Carolina. Damn it.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Boom.
- 24:10Speaker 2: You win a prize for that.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Do you know which... I counted them up, Vic. There's
- 24:15Speaker 3: 11 games that are single-digit spreads the first week of
- 24:18Speaker 3: college football if you go all the way to Monday
- 24:19Speaker 3: where it's SMU and Florida State.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Okay.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Do you know what one of those 11 single-digit spreads are?
- 24:27Speaker 2: Yeah, CU and Georgia Tech. Six and a half.
- 24:30Speaker 7: And.
- 24:31Speaker 2: And CSU and Wyoming.
- 24:32Speaker 3: CSU, Wyoming. Two of the best.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Games of the weekend are Colorado teams.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, every other game is expected to be
- 24:39Speaker 3: a blowout.
- 24:40Speaker 2: So, that's where we are. I mean, last time I
- 24:44Speaker 2: watched a UT Rio GV game. Jesus.
- 24:54Speaker 3: You know what?
- 24:56Speaker 2: This is what we've come to. And I get it.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Football is a big part of our culture. It's the
- 24:59Speaker 3: American culture. There are too many teams.
- 25:03Speaker 6: Not everybody has to have a football program. DU's done
- 25:06Speaker 6: very well without football. University of Denver has carved its
- 25:09Speaker 6: own niche. They don't have a football program. Gonzaga doesn't
- 25:11Speaker 6: have a football program. There's a lot of teams out there,
- 25:15Speaker 6: a lot of schools who have achieved greatness without football.
- 25:18Speaker 6: Not every team has to have a damn football team.
- 25:20Speaker 3: Why does it bother you that UTGRV has a school?
- 25:24Speaker 3: I think it's saturated the market.
- 25:25Speaker 2: That's all.
- 25:26Speaker 3: It doesn't bother me. I think it's saturation. It's saturation.
- 25:29Speaker 3: That's all it is. You want to pay somebody a
- 25:32Speaker 3: million bucks to go get their butts kicked? I'll sign
- 25:34Speaker 3: up for it.
- 25:35Speaker 7: Sure.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Let's put me and Moe's quarterback and running back.
- 25:40Speaker 2: My sister went to med school at UTGRV, heck of
- 25:42Speaker 2: a school.
- 25:44Speaker 5: Great.
- 25:44Speaker 2: I'm sure they make great gynecologists. Okay.
- 25:47Speaker 6: They play great football. Oh, good for you. Kansas is
- 25:51Speaker 6: a 39.5 point favorite over LIU post.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Long Island, baby.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Post.
- 25:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:00Speaker 3: What's post?
- 26:01Speaker 2: I told you it used to be CW Post.
- 26:04Speaker 3: So now they just combined them and called it LIU Post?
- 26:08Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it. All right, how about this one?
- 26:12Speaker 2: You know the one that always screwed me up doing
- 26:13Speaker 2: college basketball was IUPUI. All right, I got another one
- 26:18Speaker 2: with letters.
- 26:18Speaker 3: You ready for this one?
- 26:19Speaker 7: Sure.
- 26:20Speaker 6: Missouri is a 53.5 point favorite over UAPB.
- 26:25Speaker 5: UAPB.
- 26:27Speaker 2: UAPB.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Arkansas Pine Bluff.
- 26:32Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. That's what I think it is.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Arkansas Pine Bluff's been.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Around for a while. Okay. I know that.
- 26:37Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 26:37Speaker 3: It just, it just hit me as I'm reading.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Now I feel stupid.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Um, you know, let's go ahead and do this. Mosher
- 26:44Speaker 3: said he wanted to do it. Let's do it. Cause
- 26:46Speaker 3: we missed it with Joe Sackett. Let's do a little, Oh,
- 26:48Speaker 3: by the way, stories around sports in the world. We
- 26:50Speaker 3: feel like you should be aware of. I need to
- 26:52Speaker 3: start with this though. Um, Jonathan Kaminga had a $ 75
- 26:58Speaker 3: million offer on the table from the Golden State Warriors.
- 27:01Speaker 3: He turned that down and he bet on himself. And
- 27:03Speaker 3: this is a classic case of when betting on yourself
- 27:06Speaker 3: goes wrong. He then signed a two-year deal at $ 6. 5
- 27:11Speaker 3: million a year. Half a million more than Spencer Jones' contract.
- 27:15Speaker 3: His agent went on a podcast with Kevin O'Connor. I
- 27:18Speaker 3: need you to listen to the introduction that Kevin O'Connor
- 27:21Speaker 3: gives Aaron Turner... agent of Jonathan Kaminga.
- 27:25Speaker 2: All right, joining me now is NBA agent Aaron Turner. Aaron,
- 27:28Speaker 2: how are you doing?
- 27:30Speaker 5: I'm good, Kevin.
- 27:31Speaker 7: How are you doing?
- 27:32Speaker 8: So Jonathan Kaminga just signed a two-year, $ 12. 4 million deal.
- 27:36Speaker 8: Gilbert Arenas called it a Costco member deal. Ty Lawson said,
- 27:40Speaker 8: pack your agent up immediately. Sam Vecini called it malpractice.
- 27:44Speaker 8: Max Kellerman said you're hustling backwards. It's been a busy
- 27:46Speaker 8: weekend for you.
- 27:47Speaker 5: Aaron Turner.
- 27:48Speaker 8: How would Aaron Turner describe everything that's transpired this past year, though?
- 27:51Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. Holy cow.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Everybody who's respected in this sport thinks that you're an
- 27:57Speaker 3: idiot and a bum.
- 27:58Speaker 2: I'm now joined by the dumbest human alive.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Seriously.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Aaron Turner, explain yourself.
- 28:05Speaker 3: You didn't soft pedal anything there.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Who was the cleanup hitter for the Arizona Diamondbacks? Oh,
- 28:11Speaker 2: by the way.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Is it Aronado?
- 28:13Speaker 2: It's Marte. Oh, yeah. Marte started the lineup. Yeah, he's
- 28:17Speaker 2: sort of been an at-will employee. He went AWOL on
- 28:21Speaker 2: August 17th. And stayed away from the team for two weeks. Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And then he comes back and they put him right
- 28:29Speaker 2: in the lineup hitting cleanup. Obviously got some things going on.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, Moshe. I don't know if you
- 28:34Speaker 3: know the other part. Like, nobody knows any details around
- 28:37Speaker 3: this story. That's why it's been a big thing. It's
- 28:38Speaker 3: so weird. And the Diamondbacks are good. Like, they're, what,
- 28:41Speaker 3: 70 games over 500, something like that? They asked the
- 28:46Speaker 3: manager about it like two weeks ago, and he started
- 28:48Speaker 3: tearing up when they asked him about Quetel Marte. So
- 28:50Speaker 3: there's something happening that they just don't want to make public,
- 28:53Speaker 3: I suppose?
- 28:54Speaker 2: I think they were back east someplace. It was like
- 28:57Speaker 2: they were in New York or they were in Philly.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Maybe Boston. Boston. And he just is gone. Now he
- 29:06Speaker 2: was rehabbing his knee, and then he went to the casino,
- 29:09Speaker 2: and then.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you an example.
- 29:10Speaker 2: But that's just so weird to me, man.
- 29:12Speaker 3: There was... Now, Brenton Doyle didn't go AWOL. Like, they
- 29:16Speaker 3: put him on a list. I forget what it's called.
- 29:18Speaker 3: It wasn't IL. But when his wife had a miscarriage,
- 29:21Speaker 3: I mean, it could be something like that. You know
- 29:23Speaker 3: what I mean? Like, it could be a number of
- 29:25Speaker 3: different things. I don't think there's anything nefarious to this story.
- 29:28Speaker 3: I think it's just, it's weirding people out that they
- 29:30Speaker 3: don't have any details to it. Where a star player
- 29:33Speaker 3: on a team that's going to make the playoffs, likely,
- 29:36Speaker 3: just kind of disappears and nobody says anything as to why.
- 29:40Speaker 3: That's the weird part of the story to me. When
- 29:43Speaker 3: I saw the manager tear up when they asked about it,
- 29:46Speaker 3: I was like, okay, I don't know what's going on here,
- 29:47Speaker 3: but it's probably not good. I don't know.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I got another one for you. Oh, by the way,
- 29:52Speaker 2: the San Diego Padres are calling up a 20-year-old catching
- 29:54Speaker 2: prospect named Ethan Salas. Move comes as major league baseball
- 29:59Speaker 2: active rosters expand from 26 to 28. He's the youngest
- 30:03Speaker 2: catcher to be called up to the bigs since whom?
- 30:11Speaker 2: The youngest catcher since?
- 30:13Speaker 3: Posey.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Nope. Yogi Berra.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Longer back?
- 30:16Speaker 2: Longer back. Way farther? 1991, this guy was called up.
- 30:21Speaker 2: All right, hang on.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Sandy Alomar. Nope.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Benito Santiago.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Santiago. Nope. Pudge Rodriguez, Hall of Famer. That's my next one.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:32Speaker 2: So anyway, if you're 20 years old and you're getting
- 30:34Speaker 2: called into the bigs for the stretch run, that's kind
- 30:36Speaker 2: of cool, right?
- 30:37Speaker 3: That is cool.
- 30:37Speaker 2: A little Crash Davis, a little cup of coffee in
- 30:39Speaker 2: the bigs. I have a note, by the way.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Remember I said, gosh, why are there so many NBA
- 30:42Speaker 3: teams being.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Bought and sold, right?
- 30:45Speaker 3: So the numbers now are in front of me.
- 30:47Speaker 6: Since 2019, over the last seven years, the NBA's had
- 30:50Speaker 6: 13 sales sales of teams 13 of them have been
- 30:56Speaker 6: sold in the last seven years that blows away every
- 31:01Speaker 6: other professional league it's only three sold NFL teams in
- 31:04Speaker 6: that time span and five in major league baseball and
- 31:08Speaker 6: yet the NBA's had 13 of them it's almost half
- 31:10Speaker 6: the league yeah you might think to yourself what is
- 31:12Speaker 6: going on and yet the NBA.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Their revenue Their record revenue, the net worth of these teams,
- 31:22Speaker 3: has sextupled in those seven years. That's how much they've
- 31:27Speaker 3: increased in value. At some point, you're just like.
- 31:31Speaker 2: All right, I have 4x to my money.
- 31:32Speaker 5: Exactly right.
- 31:33Speaker 2: I'm going to cash out. That's what it is. The
- 31:35Speaker 2: Boston Celtics guys did it in the perfect spot, did
- 31:37Speaker 2: they not? You win a title, you're like, she's for sale.
- 31:41Speaker 2: You know what it is? It's that ridiculous, well, not ridiculous.
- 31:44Speaker 6: It's that gorgeous television, national television package that they got
- 31:49Speaker 6: two years ago that just skyrocketed the revenues of these teams.
- 31:54Speaker 2: I cannot believe, I really can't believe they got the
- 31:58Speaker 2: kind of money for that. Are they getting, well, you
- 32:01Speaker 2: talk about ratings, Vic, you know better than me. Is
- 32:03Speaker 2: it worth it?
- 32:04Speaker 3: You are what the market says you are. Tua put
- 32:07Speaker 3: out an Instagram post, by the way, that was pictures
- 32:11Speaker 3: of him in a Falcons uniform from the preseason games,
- 32:13Speaker 3: and it says, Tua for the A, Atlanta. The first
- 32:18Speaker 3: response that he got was, we're so proud of you,
- 32:21Speaker 3: you got this heart emoji from Tua.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Wait, he talked to himself and said we're proud?
- 32:31Speaker 5: What?
- 32:31Speaker 3: Yeah, might be a, I forgot to switch the burner emoji.
- 32:36Speaker 3: I forgot to switch the burner account. And yeah, it's
- 32:43Speaker 3: pretty embarrassing. Pretty embarrassing.
- 32:46Speaker 2: If you want, if you want to know how to
- 32:48Speaker 2: do that, you got to talk to Kevin Durant.
- 32:50Speaker 3: You guys want to hear something crazy here in a
- 32:53Speaker 3: five year span. The Oakland Raiders in 2002, they drafted
- 32:59Speaker 3: linebacker Napoleon Harris. Do you know the very next pick was?
- 33:04Speaker 2: Ed Reed.
- 33:05Speaker 3: In 2004, they drafted Robert Gallery. You know who the
- 33:08Speaker 3: next pick was? Larry Fitzgerald. In 2005, they drafted Fabian Washington.
- 33:14Speaker 3: You know who the next pick was? Aaron Rodgers.
- 33:17Speaker 6: What's sad is I know all those names they drafted
- 33:20Speaker 6: at the time.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Robert Gallery was going to, yeah.
- 33:24Speaker 3: In 2007, they drafted Jamarcus Russell. The very next pick
- 33:25Speaker 3: was Calvin Johnson.
- 33:26Speaker 5: Oh, that's.
- 33:28Speaker 3: That's pretty brutal in a five-year stretch to have that.
- 33:30Speaker 2: You could have had Fitzgerald and Megatron on the same team.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Ed Reed, Fitzgerald, Megatron, and Aaron Rodgers.
- 33:36Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 33:36Speaker 2: It's a pretty good roster, man. That's pretty good, dude.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Pretty good team. One last one for the way out here.
- 33:45Speaker 3: I didn't know this was happening until Nelly sent this
- 33:46Speaker 3: last night. We were having a Tupac murder trial. Yeah,
- 33:51Speaker 3: I saw that, and I was like, wait. And the
- 33:54Speaker 3: guy's guilty? They found the guy who killed Tupac?
- 33:56Speaker 7: Yes.
- 34:00Speaker 2: How'd that happen?
- 34:01Speaker 3: I don't know the law. Is there a statute of limitations?
- 34:04Speaker 2: Not on murder, there isn't.
- 34:05Speaker 5: Not on murder one.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Apparently not.
- 34:08Speaker 3: How did this happen, though? After all the years of
- 34:11Speaker 3: nobody knows anything about anything in him and Biggie's murders.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Because this guy talked. Oh, he's a loud mouth? It's
- 34:19Speaker 2: one of the first convictions to come down with really
- 34:23Speaker 2: no evidence other than a confession.
- 34:26Speaker 7: Okay, but.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Don't people falsely confess to crime sometimes, like high-profile ones?
- 34:31Speaker 2: Yeah, but then they started to put things together, and
- 34:32Speaker 2: they placed him there, and his nephew got beat up earlier,
- 34:35Speaker 2: or his brother or somebody. Hmm. I don't know.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Dwayne Kef D. Davis was found guilty of orchestrating the
- 34:44Speaker 3: murder of Tupac Shakur.
- 34:46Speaker 2: There you go.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, usually every day around 845.
- 34:50Speaker 5: Yes, Marsha.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Which is why I got so excited when Nelly came
- 34:53Speaker 2: back with a bumper California love earlier in the program.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Throw it up, throw it up!
- 34:56Speaker 3: Oh, one last thing, by the way.
- 34:58Speaker 2: What?
- 34:59Speaker 3: Did you guys see that Justin Herbert's brother is now
- 35:01Speaker 3: on the Chargers? That Patrick Herbert tight end, his bro?
- 35:05Speaker 2: I didn't even know that was his brother.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Isn't it?
- 35:07Speaker 2: Is Giannis his brother on the team? Yeah, and that's
- 35:10Speaker 2: Jake Plummer's kid playing for Ball State.
- 35:14Speaker 3: That perhaps was the greatest. No, no, that's his older brother.
- 35:17Speaker 3: It is Justin Herbert. The Jake Plummer thing was the
- 35:19Speaker 3: greatest error I think ever we've ever heard.
- 35:22Speaker 2: On the show.
- 35:23Speaker 7: What, Jack?
- 35:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that was funny.
- 35:24Speaker 5: Come on, man.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Hey, as we roll on, I want you guys to
- 35:27Speaker 2: hear something from Spittin' Chicklets. We had Joe Sackick on.
- 35:30Speaker 2: You heard the news conference yesterday. You want to get
- 35:32Speaker 2: another idea as to really how awesome this is?
- 35:35Speaker 3: Okay, we'll get to the Chicklets next.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I haven't heard of Bruce Hornsby in the range in
- 35:39Speaker 2: a long time, man. What? What? This is Bruce Hornsby
- 35:42Speaker 2: in the range.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Nope, this is Tupac changes.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Oh, this is Tupac, but that's... Oh my God, that
- 35:48Speaker 2: is so good.
- 35:49Speaker 5: This is Tupac.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Isn't that just... That is so good. That's just the.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Way it is.
- 35:53Speaker 3: I see no changes.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Wake up in the morning when I ask myself. Is
- 35:56Speaker 2: life worth living? Oh my God. One guy lives in
- 36:00Speaker 2: the 80s.
- 36:00Speaker 3: His literal brain is stuck in the 80s.
- 36:03Speaker 2: It hasn't moved. It is idle.
- 36:06Speaker 3: It dropped off in 1985. It hasn't moved.
- 36:09Speaker 4: Well, fine.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Bruce Hornsby in the range.
- 36:11Speaker 5: I know.
- 36:11Speaker 3: But it's just a classic example of that. I mean,
- 36:14Speaker 3: it was just so beautifully laid out.
- 36:17Speaker 4: Yes, Moshe, it is a sample of that song.
- 36:19Speaker 2: You're right. Well, I'm not as dumb as I look then.
- 36:25Speaker 6: Now do in the air tonight and now do a
- 36:28Speaker 6: couple more samples and see what happens.
- 36:32Speaker 3: See what, hey, that's Phil Collins.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I don't do samples, man.
- 36:36Speaker 3: What do you mean you don't do samples?
- 36:38Speaker 2: I do real music. I don't do samples. Really? Yeah.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Everything's a sample, Moshe. Everything's been Everything's been redone.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Hang on a second. Did Van Halen take any samples?
- 36:58Speaker 2: No, but Tone Loke sampled Van Halen. Tone Loke sampled
- 37:03Speaker 2: Van Halen.
- 37:04Speaker 3: He says they haven't. No, they did not. They did not.
- 37:07Speaker 2: The intro drum track. This is from Jamie's Crying.
- 37:12Speaker 5: Right here.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Crank it.
- 37:16Speaker 3: I've told you guys this. It's so funny.
- 37:18Speaker 2: This will always be Tone Loke. It will not be
- 37:20Speaker 2: Jamie's Crying.
- 37:21Speaker 3: I agree with you. Whether it's Wild Thing or Funky
- 37:26Speaker 3: Cold Medina or whatever from Tone Loke, I knew those songs.
- 37:30Speaker 3: But this is what's funny. When I was a kid,
- 37:31Speaker 3: I loved Ace Ventura. Had no idea that that was him.
- 37:37Speaker 2: But when you get to Funky Cole Medina, the guitar
- 37:39Speaker 2: riff is from Forrest.
- 37:41Speaker 3: That's okay. That's okay.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Check it and see. I do have an important question, though, Brett.
- 37:46Speaker 4: Do you like Regulators by Warren G, or do you
- 37:49Speaker 4: prefer our boy Michael McD?
- 37:54Speaker 3: Regulators is better.
- 37:55Speaker 2: It is better. That's a tough one.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I mean, it's the best of both worlds. Regulators is
- 37:59Speaker 3: the best of both worlds when you think about it.
- 38:02Speaker 2: It's the same... It's the same song, but updated a bit.
- 38:07Speaker 2: It's like Yacht Rock.
- 38:07Speaker 3: A little Yacht Rocky. Yeah, a little Yacht Rocky.
- 38:11Speaker 2: All right, so can I get to my thing now?
- 38:14Speaker 2: Is that cool? Yeah, let's do it.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Okay.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Spitting Chicklets, it's announced that Kale McCarr is going to
- 38:19Speaker 2: agree to a brand new contract. And Ryan Whitney, who
- 38:23Speaker 2: played the position in the National Hockey League for an
- 38:24Speaker 2: awfully long time, was ecstatic.
- 38:27Speaker 9: At this point, who cares if it's 160, 164?
- 38:30Speaker 2: I said right away on Twitter, underpaid. I don't know
- 38:33Speaker 2: what to say. And I had analytical people saying, what
- 38:36Speaker 2: are you talking about?
- 38:37Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know.
- 38:38Speaker 2: I'm going eye test on this guy, boys. He is,
- 38:41Speaker 2: I think.
- 38:42Speaker 9: second best player in the league are we giving mcdavid
- 38:45Speaker 9: number one mckinnon's right there either way he's one of
- 38:48Speaker 9: the greatest defensemen to ever play the things he does
- 38:51Speaker 9: on the ice his skating his vision he competes like
- 38:55Speaker 9: a mother out there and it's just like a dream
- 38:58Speaker 9: player he was built in a lab i love watching
- 39:00Speaker 9: the abs play mainly because of him it's incredible what he.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Does so anybody who would question hey gonna get.
- 39:09Speaker 3: It done.
- 39:11Speaker 2: It's funny, I asked Joe, I said, hey man, is
- 39:13Speaker 2: this as big a no-brainer as you've had? Or I said,
- 39:15Speaker 2: is this the biggest? He's like, well, yeah, that and
- 39:18Speaker 2: Nate's last contract, that's as no-brainer as it gets in
- 39:23Speaker 2: the NHL. But look at Nate's.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Nate was the highest-paid player in the league, and now
- 39:27Speaker 3: Nate is signed for Peanuts.
- 39:31Speaker 2: Well, it ain't Peanuts, but it ain't what guys are
- 39:32Speaker 2: getting this year.
- 39:33Speaker 5: It is.
- 39:34Speaker 3: When people are making $ 20 million and Nate is a
- 39:36Speaker 3: top-three player in the world, it is Peanuts.
- 39:39Speaker 2: It's 12.6.
- 39:39Speaker 10: And it'll be 12.6 this year and next year and
- 39:47Speaker 10: the year after that and the year after that and
- 39:48Speaker 10: the year after that.
- 39:50Speaker 3: So think about that far down the line.
- 39:55Speaker 2: So yes, it is.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Hey, before we close the show, for those who missed it,
- 40:00Speaker 3: the manner in.
- 40:01Speaker 6: Which the Colorado Rockies lost last night, their 10th straight
- 40:05Speaker 6: at Coors Field, which is a franchise record, all right?
- 40:08Speaker 6: They're on the way to another 100-loss season, but the
- 40:11Speaker 6: fact they've lost 10 in a row at Coors Field,
- 40:13Speaker 6: and that's never been done before in the history of
- 40:15Speaker 6: Coors Field. As bad as some seasons have gone, They've never,
- 40:19Speaker 6: ever lost double digits straight at home. Well, they did
- 40:21Speaker 6: last night, and they did it in the most ridiculous way.
- 40:25Speaker 6: They had a chance to walk off the Orioles. The
- 40:30Speaker 6: ball was hit 425 feet, man.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Yes.
- 40:32Speaker 6: I mean, it was well done. McCarthy's at the dish.
- 40:34Speaker 6: He hits one to center field. It looks like a
- 40:36Speaker 6: walk-off homer, and then this happens.
- 40:38Speaker 5: Go, go, go!
- 40:40Speaker 6: Fly ball, deep center field, going back.
- 40:44Speaker 5: Cousins still going back.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Leaves.
- 40:48Speaker 10: He caught it!
- 40:53Speaker 2: Oh my goodness!
- 40:54Speaker 4: That went from a winger to the most painful loss.
- 40:59Speaker 2: In a while.
- 41:01Speaker 6: That bang you heard was the dude banging against the wall.
- 41:04Speaker 3: That's the Drew version. Did you hear the Orioles version?
- 41:08Speaker 3: Make your pitches, but know where to miss.
- 41:11Speaker 2: McCarthy deep center field. Couser racing back. Couser near the wall.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Jumps.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Couser!
- 41:17Speaker 5: He made the catch! He made the catch! It might
- 41:20Speaker 5: be the.
- 41:21Speaker 9: Greatest home run robbery game-ending catch you'll see in your life!
- 41:27Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding me! Unbelievable! The Orioles win it.
- 41:34Speaker 2: They are 500 for the first time in four months.
- 41:39Speaker 3: So again, just to put context on this, the Orioles
- 41:43Speaker 3: with that win are now a half game back of
- 41:45Speaker 3: the wild card. It's huge for them at 500, but
- 41:51Speaker 3: I want people to, to understand something. If you hit
- 41:55Speaker 3: a ball 425 feet, there is no reason that should
- 41:59Speaker 3: not be out of the park. I, It's got to
- 42:02Speaker 3: be the longest home run that's ever been robbed. But
- 42:07Speaker 3: here is the stat from OptiStats. The walk-off home run
- 42:12Speaker 3: went an estimated 425 feet. It's the longest distance of
- 42:17Speaker 3: a game-ending robbery of a potential walk-off home run in
- 42:20Speaker 3: the wildcard era.
- 42:21Speaker 2: I mean, the deepest part of Coors Field has to be.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Has to be.
- 42:27Speaker 3: I don't know if there's any other home run that's
- 42:29Speaker 3: been robbed.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Past 425 feet. I do. The Polo Grounds.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Vic Wirtz hit a ball estimated to be almost 450
- 42:41Speaker 2: feet at the Polo Grounds.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Willie Mays steal it?
- 42:43Speaker 2: The Willie Mays catch over the shoulder. Well, that's not
- 42:46Speaker 2: a home run robbery. Yeah, but that wasn't over the fence, though.
- 42:48Speaker 3: No, that was just.
- 42:50Speaker 2: But that would have been a home run. I know, but.
- 42:52Speaker 6: This one was, listen, I'm going to respect the Willie
- 42:55Speaker 6: Mays catch like no other.
- 42:57Speaker 2: This was harder.
- 42:59Speaker 5: Sorry.
- 43:00Speaker 3: This guy ran full speed, turned, slammed against the wall
- 43:04Speaker 3: at full speed. His glove had to be two feet
- 43:08Speaker 3: past the fence when he made the catch, and he
- 43:10Speaker 3: landed directly on his tailbone.
- 43:11Speaker 6: He's going to have to see a chiropractor today because
- 43:13Speaker 6: he hit that wall as hard as you can hit
- 43:15Speaker 6: a wall.
- 43:16Speaker 3: You heard it on the first call.
- 43:17Speaker 5: It was ridiculous.
- 43:18Speaker 3: It was Colton Calliser who made the catch, by the way.
- 43:19Speaker 3: It was insane. Absolutely insane.
- 43:21Speaker 2: By the way, that guy better be able to field.
- 43:23Speaker 2: He's a 218 career hitter. Dude, think about this.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Think about how good the American League East is. The
- 43:29Speaker 3: Orioles are now fourth place in the.
- 43:31Speaker 2: East, 500.
- 43:32Speaker 6: And they're right there in the wild card race. The
- 43:36Speaker 6: team behind them, the Blue Jays, they're two games below 500,
- 43:40Speaker 6: and they're right.
- 43:42Speaker 2: There in the wild card race. Every team in that
- 43:45Speaker 2: division is in playoff position.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Okay, so this reminds me, last year, the NFC South
- 43:51Speaker 3: got the Panthers into the playoffs with an 8-9 record, right?
- 43:55Speaker 3: And in the NFC North, not a single team finished
- 43:58Speaker 3: with a below 500 record. All four teams in that
- 44:02Speaker 3: division all finished above that 500 mark. That's like the
- 44:05Speaker 3: AL East. The AL East is always like this, though.
- 44:08Speaker 5: Always.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Because you know who's good again? Surprise, the Rays!
- 44:13Speaker 3: Ray is just always good.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Always good at baseball. No payroll. No money. No nothing.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Just always got being surprised by them being good. They
- 44:20Speaker 2: must have the best scouting staff in baseball. They have
- 44:22Speaker 2: no money. And they're always winning.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Think about how long it's been since. You guys remember
- 44:28Speaker 3: Evan Longoria? Remember him?
- 44:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Think about how long it's been since Evan Longoria. They've
- 44:33Speaker 3: been that good all the time.
- 44:35Speaker 5: It's insane.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Vic, Polo Grounds, New York City. Your former stomping grounds. 1954,
- 44:42Speaker 2: how far was center field?
- 44:44Speaker 3: 478 feet. I think it's over five.
- 44:50Speaker 2: I think 490. 483 feet to dead center.
- 44:55Speaker 6: Yeah, that's because it's not a baseball stadium. But see,
- 44:57Speaker 6: they also played football games there.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Yeah, they played everything there, including polo. It's not a
- 45:01Speaker 2: baseball stadium. Now it's a couple of apartment buildings or something. Joke.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Nelly, fact check, please.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So I can't believe I haven't brought this up on
- 45:10Speaker 1: the show yet. A couple months ago, Carolina M.I.C.
- 45:26Speaker 4: Our boy who wrote the If You Had $ 150, 000 song,
- 45:30Speaker 4: he tracked us down and he emailed our boss and
- 45:33Speaker 4: he reached out to him and said, hey, I hear
- 45:35Speaker 4: you guys have been playing my song. I appreciate it.
- 45:37Speaker 4: Way to give me some spins. Let me know if
- 45:39Speaker 4: you ever want to chat. And so I emailed him
- 45:42Speaker 4: back and I asked how he found us. And evidently,
- 45:44Speaker 4: when you release your music on streaming services, Apple Music
- 45:48Speaker 4: has an artist portal that will track if radio stations fail.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Spin your songs.
- 45:53Speaker 4: And so our call letters appeared on that, and so
- 45:56Speaker 4: he tracked us down, emailed Kevin, and he said that
- 45:58Speaker 4: so far, we're the only radio station that has responded
- 46:01Speaker 4: to him.
- 46:01Speaker 3: Okay, can we ask him to make a song for us?
- 46:04Speaker 4: I asked him if he wanted to do a.
- 46:06Speaker 3: I want a theme song for us.
- 46:08Speaker 4: I asked him if he wanted to do a Broncos
- 46:10Speaker 4: or Colorado-specific version.
- 46:12Speaker 3: No, no, no, do it for the show. No, ask
- 46:13Speaker 3: him to do Moser, Lombardi, and Kane. Yes, Moser, Lombardi,
- 46:16Speaker 3: and Kane song. And say we'll use it as an intro.
- 46:19Speaker 4: I'll see if he's down to do that because he
- 46:20Speaker 4: was not down with doing a Colorado or Denver sports
- 46:23Speaker 4: themed 150,000. Probably residual pain from Super Bowl 50, you know,
- 46:27Speaker 4: no hurt feelings.
- 46:28Speaker 3: He's got his teams. We can't ask him to do that.
- 46:30Speaker 3: But to make one for our show.
- 46:31Speaker 2: I can start it out. If you have three hours
- 46:35Speaker 2: to kill.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Nope. Why don't you write it for him if you're
- 46:40Speaker 3: so sure of yourself? No, but he's the artist. You
- 46:42Speaker 3: let him. Look, no ghost writers for Carolina MIC. Make
- 46:47Speaker 3: your own stuff.
- 46:49Speaker 2: If. Yeah. Can you guys.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Imagine every day at 7 o'clock if this is what
- 46:54Speaker 3: you heard?
- 46:54Speaker 2: Carolina, MIC.
- 46:55Speaker 10: Get on it.
- 46:55Speaker 2: iTunes, Spotify, Mojo, Lombardi.
- 46:57Speaker 5: And Kane.
- 46:58Speaker 3: Have a wonderful Tuesday. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Love you.
- 47:01Speaker 3: See you.
