  Speaker 1: This is the Appetizer Hour with Brett Cain on demand.

  Speaker 1: Check out Brett weekday mornings at 6 on Altitude Sports

• 0:19
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome in. There is something that I was
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: just kicking around last night. In thinking about this game
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: this weekend, you're playing against the Super Bowl betting odds favorites.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: A team that is consisting of a reigning MVP at quarterback,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: one of the smartest coaches in the NFL, playmakers all
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: over the offense, a Hall of Famer that has returned
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to the interior of that defensive line, A team that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: has made trade after trade for corners and safeties and
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different things. A team that is
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: all in on trying to win a Super Bowl. And
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it's believable that they might. You had a start to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the year in which you were 0-1 and it felt
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: like panic. You go back to last year. You lost
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: three football games over your first 17. The only reason
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you were eliminated from the postseason was because your starting
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: quarterback got hurt with an ankle injury, and it was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: way more understandable for their exit in the postseason. You've
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: only dealt with, in the last calendar year and some change,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: four losses. How much and how capable are we as
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a collective of riding this wave? The wave of the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: difficult schedule beginning of the year. Because here's, if I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: being honest, every sports fan base is like this to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: some extent. Where you will Ride that emotional high after
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a win and you will be in the depths after
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a loss. The issue comes with the beginning of this schedule.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And if we ask the question at the very beginning, well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in the offseason when the schedule was released, hey, this
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: looks really hard to start the year. Three and three.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: seems like that should be the goal, the standard to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: be set with how difficult this is. When you get
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the attempt for 3-3, I just
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: think we aren't very used to losses around here. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that's what makes this really hard. It's the same reason
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: why losing for the Nuggets and the Avs has been
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: so hard over the last five, six years. Because they're
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: good and you're not really used to it. The general
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: feeling surrounding those two teams for half a decade have been, yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to play, I think they're going
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to win this game. And it's not because they're playing
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a bad opponent. Why do you think you're going to win?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Because I think my team's good. And they were. Are.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And now the same place that you're at right now,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is what the Denver Broncos. But if you go into
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: this weekend's game and you lose against the Rams and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you drop the 1-2, I think it's going to feel
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: much the same way as it did against Kansas City. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Kansas City did have a different flavor to it because
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you haven't lost like that in a long time. I mean,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: if you truly think about it, The final score being
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: what it was, was sort of the shocking thing. You
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: can point back to last year's Jacksonville game and say
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that was a butt-kicking two. But it's been few and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: far between where you just get your tail handed to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you from a final score perspective like you did in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that first week of the season. And I think that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: those are going to continue to be pretty few and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: far between. I don't see a world that exists in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: which the Broncos have like two or three more of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: those double-digit type losses at the end of the year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But I will say this, if you aren't on your
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: P's and Q's on Sunday, this game is capable of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: being one of them. Really, any one of your next
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: four are capable of being one of those. But that's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: part of riding that wave. I've tried my best to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: stay in the middle on both sides of it, wins
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and losses. And perhaps that's part of the reason why
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I'm criticized a lot after a win is that I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: will bring up things in which they need to be better.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And in the case of Kansas City, and this is
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: where I think I'm being fair, They need to be
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: better in some areas after the Jacksonville game. And I
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: highlighted those to criticism. And things weren't as bad as
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it seemed in the Kansas City game in which I
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: highlighted those to criticism. I try and keep it in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the middle for you as much as I possibly can.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But I think it's one of those things, if you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: are being criticized in both manners, I think that's because
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm attempting as best I can to keep perspective and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: be fair about this. Kansas City game just showed me
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: one thing. That despite playing about as bad a game
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: as you could from a fundamental standpoint, I think you were...
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: If you play Kansas City again, there's a really good
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: shot that you win the game because you'd clean up
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: on those. That was a byproduct of playing them the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: first week of the year.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And also, Brett, we're, what, a week? Over a week
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: away from that game.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: And the more I look back on it, I still
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: don't know if that game was more about the Chiefs
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: returning to their evil empire form or more about the
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Broncos just completely playing the worst possible game of football ever.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: not called the Miami Dolphins or Atlanta Falcons. Like, that
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: was just so unbelievably bad. So I don't know what
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: the bigger takeaway is. I still don't know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I would tell you this, Nelly, and I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: think it's a decent thought. The answer is probably somewhere
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in the middle that it's both. I would still lean
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: way more to, like, the Broncos just played an awful
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: game in the most fundamental and basic form. Of what
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: football is. Commit turnovers, take penalties, don't tackle. If you're
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a Pop Warner team, you're going to get your butt
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: kicked that way. The shocking thing about that game is
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't worse with how bad you were at that,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to be honest. The last time you played that way,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and that's why I wanted to point this out. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you tell me if this feels like it's more of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: an indictment of Kansas City or not. The last time
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you had similar numbers for missed tackles, missed tackle percentage,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: yards after contact. The Broncos have been in the top
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: five in two different categories over the last seven years
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in that. And that was the Kansas City game to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: open up the year this year. And it was Miami
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: three years ago. The difference is Miami didn't put up
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: 31 points. They put up 70. And I thought, it
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: is a little bit weird that you were so bad
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: in those areas and it was still a football game
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: for the majority of it. So yeah, I think the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: answer is a little bit of both. But with two
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: games now under your belt, if you go back to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: last year, the Broncos started last year 1-2. They won
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the first week against Tennessee. In large part, the Broncos looked...
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Really bad in week one last year, too. They had
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the benefit of playing perhaps the worst team in the
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: NFL with a rookie quarterback making his first start. You
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: were able to get away with it because of opponent. Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: after that, you went week two and week three, close
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: loss to Indianapolis, close loss to Los Angeles, and then
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you went on that big run. Went from one and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: two to 12 and two. That sort of streak is
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: not going to be available here. If you start one
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and two to this year, you're going to feel that nervousness,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: which you felt last year, but doesn't matter. quite hit
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the same when you aren't when you didn't look at
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: at San Francisco at the Chargers defending Super Bowl champs
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: at home the next three weeks there was a lot
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of things that were were that came together last year
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: um from both internally within the Broncos organization, things that
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: went right and that they earned, and also from the outside,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and God, we might be on our way again, of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: things just kind of falling into place of, ooh, MVP
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: quarterback goes down with an injury, team not as good.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow down with an injury again. Cincinnati can't overcome it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: A lot of that stuff just kind of came together
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for you. This, if you go out and make the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: playoffs or win the division this year, that is going
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to be one of the most deserved highlights that you're
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: going to find in recent memory. Now, to the injury thing,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what is weird. Can I ask something
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to you guys and you guys tell me if this
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is being prisoner of the moment or not? Watched a
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: lot of football in my life, a lot. And I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: know that football is a violent game where people get hurt.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Does it feel like it's a lot more now? Especially
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: early in seasons? Like, I don't recall the amount of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: major injuries that have been suffered in the first two
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: weeks of an NFL season. I mean, just quarterbacks alone
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Constantly going down. And then you look around and it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: big time players suffering these. And I thought the same
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: thing in the NBA. I'm like, there's a lot of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: guys in the NBA that seem like they get hurt
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: a lot. And like 20, 30 years ago, that didn't
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: seem to be the case. No, I've spit these numbers
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: at you before, but go look at Carl Malone's career
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: games played. Like, go to his basketball reference page, pull
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: up Malone, and look at games played in a season.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: You'll feel like a broken record. You'll just say, 82, 82, 82, 82, 82, 82, 82. Like,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: every single year, that guy didn't miss a game. But
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it feels constant. And I don't know what the reasoning
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: is for it. Maybe back in the day, When the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: season ended and these guys went, you know, if you
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: were on a Babe Ruth type of diet, I go
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: out and play baseball and then I hammer cigarettes, hot dogs,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: and beer afterwards. And I don't have an off season
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: in which I'm under a squat rack.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know what the thing is. Maybe Daft
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Punk said it best back in 2001. Everybody's just hitting harder, better, faster, stronger.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe the game gets a little more physical
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: and guys get a little more stronger every year.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Is that maybe that's why?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, Nelly. I don't have the answer,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm just asking, am I right in the assessment
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that it's happening a lot more or am I just
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: prisoner of the moment here because a lot of injuries
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: have happened and maybe it's a weird year, but it
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: feels like recently this has happened a lot. So go
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: ahead and throw it out to me. 303-504-0925. Shop Mazda
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Text Line. One price, one person, one hour. Seth Wickersham's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: going to join us. Have we nailed down a time
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for Seth?
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: 7.40.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: 7.40 he will join us. Remember, he had the big
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: article on Sean Payton. He's going to be in town
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: this week, and he's got some more insights he can
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: give us, especially on the idea of the Sean Payton-Michael
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: McDonald- Cheating allegation that was thrown out there by Michael
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: McDonald and came out yesterday. So, we'll have a lot
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: more on that with Seth Wickersham at 7.40 this morning.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: But NFL Stock Up, Stock Down next. We do it
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: every week following the NFL weekend. It is NFL Stock Up,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Stock Down. We always start with the quarterbacks.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Stock Up.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I fully believe in this yet. But
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I kind of believe in this. Bryce Young looks good
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: through the first two weeks of the season. These are back-to-back, well,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: almost 300-yard games. He didn't need 300 yards to beat
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. But he was 23 of 36 for
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: 287 yards, three touchdowns, no picks. Over the first two
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: games of the season, he has 650 passing yards with
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: six touchdowns. seven if you include a rushing touchdown from
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: week one. His team is averaging 35.5 points a game
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: through two weeks, despite being 1-1 on the season. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'm totally buying in to Bryce Young
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: being a guy who has turned his career around and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: now he is here to stay. Because I don't think
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Carolina knows. If Carolina was given the option right now
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: to sign him to a $ 55 million a year contract,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think they'd do it. And I think they'd
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: be smart not to. But in a year that is
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a proof of year for Bryce Young for two different reasons.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Number one, will you get paid or not? Number two,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: will you be considered a starting quarterback in this league
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: or not? He's had a really good impression here in
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the first two weeks. And I'll say this. In regards
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: to him, I've always had my questions about Bryce Young
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: because I've always said Bryce Young is small. And when
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you say something like that, they'll be like, oh yeah, well,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's small or Kyler Murray is small. And yes,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they're short. When I say small, I mean slight. And
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I've always wondered for a guy who is both shorter
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and thinner, can you hold up in this league? Because
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you get hit by people a lot bigger than you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And are you willing to do that repeatedly? If he's
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: willing to take the shot on the chin and keep
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: getting up and making throw after throw, then credit to him.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But I am intrigued by Bryce Young, not fully bought in,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: which takes us to quarterback stock down. And he resides
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: in the same division. Similar situation. Team was hesitant to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: pay quarterback money. Quarterback was going to go out this
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: year and prove it. And he was pissed publicly. He
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: said as much. Baker Mayfield's got a problem here. First
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: two weeks, you lose. I think we can all forgive
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: a game against Cincinnati in which you would lose 33-27.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: But to lose to Cleveland in week two is inexcusable.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And here's the problem for Baker. Baker has been the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: beneficiary of playing in the most garbage division in the
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: league for the last few years. The NFC South has
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: been an absolute dumpster fire. They have teams winning that
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: division with under 500 records. The Panthers just did it
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: at 8-9 last year. The fact that you couldn't win
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: in that season was embarrassing. I know that the Bucs
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: had a whole bunch of injuries they were dealing with.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Point is... You need to win your garbage division. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: now it feels like perhaps things have come back around
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: where things could get a little bit more difficult than
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: in the past. Just talking about Bryce Young and the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, which look like they might be a quasi-legitimate
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: team in the NFL this year. And I was high
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: in the offseason on this team, and nothing through two
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: weeks has changed my mind on that at all. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints... The New Orleans Saints look to be
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a legitimate team with a legitimate quarterback in Tyler Shuck.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: This is not some walkover in which you can fall
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: asleep for a month and a half during the season
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: and still come away the division winner. Baker Mayfield needs
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to figure it out immediately. They gave him the contract,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: albeit later than he wanted, but they gave it to him.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And now you have to go out, and I think
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he's still got to pretend he doesn't have the deal.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: He's got to play like he can get paid. big
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: time this offseason if he plays well, because if not,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that team's going to get run over. Not because teams
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: are really good in their division, but they're better. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the Bucs have been able to be asleep at the wheel,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: but it just happened to be a Waymo, and it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: would somehow find their way home. Now he's got to drive.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Figure it out. Baker Mayfield gets the stock down. Non-quarterback
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: stock up.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: A stock up for that Waymo metaphor there. That was
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: pretty good.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I just watched a Waymo on 9 News. I had
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it on TV yesterday. A Waymo drove right through a
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: farmer's market. I was like, oh, it doesn't understand that
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: if there's no barriers, but there's just tents aligning a street,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you still can't drive through the middle of that. Okay.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Non-quarterback stock up. This is based off of just one
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: game because week one was not good, but it's what
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing down the line for what could be. Jalen
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Waddle is going to lead the Broncos in catches and yards.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Cortland Sutton is still a good wide receiver, but I
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: think you've seen there was a conscious effort. in that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: second game of the year to get him the football.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Because he makes cool things happen. That's not going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: go away now with somebody with the speed and athleticism
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of Jalen Waddle. It's one thing to invest money in
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: a player. It's another thing to invest money and draft capital,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: but which the Broncos did in the offseason, Jalen Waddell,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: and I waffled on this decision, Waddell waffled, in the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: offseason of who would be the leader in targets and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: catches for the Broncos because Cortland Sutton's been that guy
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: for years. But there is a dynamic nature in home
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: run threat every time the ball is in Jalen Waddell's hands.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: When he did that route on the sideline that left
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a little stutter step, broke the ankles of... the defensive
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: back and he's wide open. There's just, there's very few
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: people in the league that can do stuff like that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And I think now that we've seen in eight catch,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: 138 yard game, should have had a touchdown, was brought
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: down at the one yard line. We've seen the capability
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: of it. I don't think it's going anywhere. Jalen Waddell
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: is going to be a guy that I think gets nine, 10, 11,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: 12 targets every single week. And it should be that way.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So he gets a stock up, non-quarterback stock down. This
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: isn't even the fault of the player. This is the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: fault of the play caller. But when you go out
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in the offseason, you're like, you know what? My quarterback
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: has been struggling over the last few years. I have
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to get him some legitimate help in the backfield. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you trade a draft pick to go acquire David Montgomery
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: in Houston. You give him money. The next step to
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that is let him run the football. They did so
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: in the first week of the season. He had 20
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: carries for only 60 yards, but they stuck to it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: He finished with three touchdowns. In their week two game
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: against Cincinnati, low-scoring game, the final score was 20-6. The
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: halftime score was 7-3. To only give him six carries
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: for 10 yards and give your running backs in general...
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: 12 carries on the day. That's just idiotic coaching and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: idiotic play calling, especially when you combine it with the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: fact of CJ Stroud is kind of ass. He needs help.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So not giving your running backs the football, especially one
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that you paid for in the offseason, is silly. But
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: now through two weeks, David Montgomery's got 70 rushing yards
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: and he's averaging 2.7 yards per carry. And I think
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: a part of that is they are so unafraid of C.J.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Stroud throwing the football that they are selling out to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: stop the run when Houston decides to do it. So
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: David Montgomery gets the stock down. NFL teams stock up.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: This is going to be like This is going to
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: be like, duh. But I have to highlight this. I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: know they're the defending Super Bowl champions. The fact that
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are still playing this well with a backup
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: quarterback since the fifth play of the season is highly
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: impressive and does say a lot about their roster and
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: does say a lot about how that team's not going anywhere.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: We love to do this in sports now when a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: team wins the title. Nobody wants to do the boring
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: thing of saying, yeah, team who won the title last year,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: still good. I think the Chargers are going to win
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I think this team that nobody had
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: winning last year is going to be the team this year.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: The boring thing is saying the defending champs are awesome.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Hate to tell you this, guys. The defending champs are awesome.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: And the fact that they are winning at the rate
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: that they have with Drew Locke in charge. is highly impressive.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke had 235 yards and three touchdowns in a
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: 31-7 win over the Cardinals. Remember that first week they're
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: taking on the Patriots. Weird situation where Drew Locke gets
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: none of the reps but steps in. He makes the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: requisite plays over Drake May. The fact that they're 2-0,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I think, is really.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Really impressive through two weeks. Now they take on the
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: commanders in week three that don't have Jaden Daniels. They
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: have the chargers in week four that look to be
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: an incredibly awful team given how much talent they have.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Like they might start the season 4-0 and not even
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: need Sam Darnold. So they get the stock up. Let's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: go NFL team stock down. I think it's Detroit. Detroit
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: cannot be taken seriously with a defense like that. And
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: you can have all the offensive firepower that you want
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to with your Jameer Gibbses and your St. Browns and
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: your Laportas and Goffs and everybody else. It's not going
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: to matter if the opposing team scores every single drive.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And watching that Bills game, I think, was a massive
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: spotlight on what Detroit's problem has been over the last
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: couple of years, which is Your defense gets torched way
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: too often and gives up big plays way too often.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: If you watch that Thursday night game with Josh Allen,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: they could have chose whether to run or pass for
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: a first down on any down and distance. Josh Allen?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: It looked boring to the Bills. They opened up a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: brand new stadium, scored a touchdown, and there wasn't some massive,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Hump dance that they did in the end zone. They're like, yeah,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: good job boys. It was almost, it looked like preseason.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: And if Detroit can't make a, an average defense would
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: be all they need to be a legitimate contender with
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: their offense. They don't have it. And I don't think
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: they're going to have it by the end of the year.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And even the offense in that game, you look at
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the final score, 41-31, it's like, wow, that game seemed
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: pretty close. The offense was very empty calories in that game, too.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: They started the game 2-3 and outs. The Bills were
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: up 21-0. And then it was like, okay, well, let's
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: get a couple of scores to get back in the game.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Never felt legitimate. I think they have big problems that
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: are largely unfixable and might find themselves missing the postseason
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: again this year. MVP stock up. I'm going to go
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: back to Seattle. If JSN is going to do this
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: every single week, guys, it's remarkable the numbers this guy's
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: putting up. Remember, with a backup quarterback in the starting
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: lineup through two weeks, he has 17 catches for 277
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: yards and four touchdowns. All this guy does every week
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: is put up 100 yards. Do you know how many
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: 100-yard games he had last season? It was nine. If
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you include the postseason, ten. Think about that for a second.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Ten hundred yard games last season. He's already two for
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: two this year. The guy seems to be unstoppable. And
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: through the gigantic list of wide receivers that have gone
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: through Ohio State. JSN might be the best of the bunch.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: He might be the one that out of all the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: people that have run through there and the super talented
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: wide receivers that have existed over the last few years
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: at Ohio State, I don't think anybody's touching the production
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: that this guy is putting up. So JSN, if he
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: continues at this rate, I know that the MVP is
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: a quarterback sort of gifted award. It will be undeniable
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: if this guy finishes with 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: He would have to be the dude. So MVP stocked down. Again,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: no fault of his own, but I think there was
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: going to be a really good shot that Caleb Williams
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: could be the MVP of this league. Even before the injury,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and we don't know how much time he's going to miss.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: They say there might be a chance he plays this weekend.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I highly doubt this weekend, maybe next week. But he was,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: if you're going to be one of the best scoring
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: offenses in the league, and you're the quarterback of one
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: of the best scoring offenses in the league, and on
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: top of that, you play in a market that seems
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to have this little engine that could thing in Chicago,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and it feels like people in the national media want
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: to root for you. I think he had a really
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: good shot to win this. Now, he put up a
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: performance in that game where they only scored three points,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: number one. Number two, he's going to miss some time
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with an injury. And number three, and I mean it,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I think getting carded off the field that way and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: then maybe being able to play the following week has
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: rubbed people the wrong way. I've made fun of it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me. I think it's funny. I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: it did bother some people where they're like, really? And
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: it's going to be hard to shake whatever narrative comes
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: out of that off of you because now you're looking
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: at a perception of That is going to be really
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: hard to change over time. So he gets the MVP
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: stock down. Best game of the week. Oh, yes. Couple options.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I think the best one was Sunday night. Colts and
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Chiefs goes to overtime back and forth. Never had a
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: real read of who was in control of that game.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: At times, it felt like it was Kansas City, and
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: then the Colts would battle their way back, and then
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the Colts would get a lead, and Kansas City would
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: battle their way back and made everything for a great
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: football game. You go to OT, both teams get a possession,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: both teams score on the possession and Kansas City ices
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: it 33 to 30. As much as I hate that
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs won, You had everything. You had controversial calls late. Like,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: everything that made for the drama in theater of a
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: great football game, Chiefs and Colts were the best. Worst
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: game of the week. Oh, my God. I have a
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: strange feeling here. And the only thing that can change
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: this is perhaps Michael Penix not dying on the football
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: field from an injury standpoint. It might just have to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: be the Falcons game every single week because that is,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: when you are a team that has not run a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: play in the red zone through two weeks, that is
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: unwatchable football. And a 34-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: was an unwatchable football game. And this comes, you guys
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: know my bias in this. Have you been listening to
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Stock Up, Stock Down for any amount of time? If
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: you give me a game in which both teams score
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: less than 10 points, that is usually an automatic on this.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: And that was the Vikings and the Bears. But the
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Falcons are so terrible, it has to be the worst
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: game of the week. At least that game was close.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: There you go. Every week, we do NFL Stock Up,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Stock Down following the football weekend as we broadcast from
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the Backus and Shanker studios. Serious lawyers for the seriously
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: injured back after this. Sorry, Nelly. That was a miscommunication
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: on my part. When Nelly said, I'm going to come
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: back with Michael McDonald, I thought he was coming back
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: with the audio of Michael McDonald, but he came back
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: with a song from Michael McDonald. No, I got it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I got the clip. I just thought you were going
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to come back with the audio. Oh, no, no, no.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: You're just going to come back with Michael McDonald. I
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: Both?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Both is good.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: There's two things I got to play for you on
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: the way out of the appetizer today because I think
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: they're both incredibly stupid. So this is Michael McDonald, the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks head coach, talking with Graham Basinger. By the way,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that is going to Sam Ellinger has messed me up
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: for life on whether I'm going with the J or
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the G. In any name like that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: And there's also an N in there, Graham Bensinger.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bensinger. But is it Kim Basinger?
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Basinger, yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Basinger? Is that Basinger?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I don't believe so.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: See, I'm done forever on this. Now, he's talking to
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: him about Sean Payton and Sean Payton with an accusation
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: from a couple years ago. Here's what he said.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: So, our first year, and so we played in our
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: first game. You know, fans will, like, tape. or like
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: post plays from training camp on Twitter. And so it's
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: like public.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: So we took like a hundred plays from their training camp.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Good for you.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: We're like scouting them, you know, and like, anyways, he
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: got wind of it and he like lost him. It's
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: like middle of the season and like, and we're, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: we won the game. So like, and we're, and we
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: were in the fight like our first year. And so
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: he called Johnny basically like threatened to come out publicly
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: and do it like a whole Patriot, like Spygate type
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: of thing.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: I'm sitting there like, oh my God.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: I'm like, we didn't cheat.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Like, you know, we thought it was a Michigan thing
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: where we had a plant and the whole thing. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: we're like, so we had to like counter with him to.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: No, really.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: Say like, hey, look, if you come out of this,
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: like we're going to sue you because it's not true,
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: you know?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Right. So this is back in 2024. This is Bo
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Nix's first game. And guys, let me just say something
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: right now. I think all of this is so silly.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: We've watched training camp. You guys have been allowed at
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: training camp. If they got the videos and you can
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: see all the signs now, like if you went to
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: training camp this year, last year, I'll tell you this Nelly,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: when we do the show out there from training camp,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: if I go on my phone to check a text message,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I feel a red dot on my forehead. Okay. I
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: feel like I feel that there is a sniper scope
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that is planted in between my teeth.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: And you have signs, even in the big bleachers that
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: were there this year, you see all those signs that say,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: absolutely no film, no cameras, no photos, no video. If
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: you think that you lost because they took some fan
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: video from training camp, you weren't well enough prepared anyway.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: You want to know why the Broncos lost to the
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Seahawks that first game of the year in 2024? Because
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: it was Bo Nix's first game. And the Seahawks are
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: good defensively. And Bo Nix struggled because he never played
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: in an NFL game before. That's why. And I just
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: think it's so silly. And I know it's, oh man,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the lengths that these coaches will go. What do you
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: think the Seahawks gleaned from this? Courtland Sutton is lined
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: up wide.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Cool.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong here? I know you want to get
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: every inch of advantage that you can against your opponent.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: But if we're losing football games and you think the
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: reason behind that is because they saw some video that
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: a fan took from training camp of you guys going
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: 50% on a play, then I don't think that's good
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: enough anyway.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: And also, are these fans Martin Scorsese? I mean, who's...
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: filming these plays good enough that you can ascertain the
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: entire game. Yeah. I, you know, somebody from the, from
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: the back of the bleachers with their phone out, grabbing some,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: some grainy Zapruder film of one play is, is enough
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: to ruin your whole game plan.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I think the entire thing is silly. And I
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: actually agree with Michael McDonald here. And, and the fact that,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: that Peyton would go and the Broncos, if this is true,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: it would go to the lengths of like, uh, we
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: want to get you guys punished for this.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Ugh.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It just feels really weak to me. And this feels
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: equally as weak. So Arch Manning, who again, I feel
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: kind of bad for Arch just in a sense that
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: he was anointed the number one overall pick when he
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: was a high school player. And I think that is
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: really unfair to do to somebody. And I think that
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning is a good player. But he is not
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: anywhere near, I think, the level that people talk about
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: him of like surefire number one overall. I mean, hell,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to Legwald tomorrow. I don't know what kind
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of deep dive he's done into next year's draft class,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: but I do want to ask him what he thinks
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: of Arch Manning as far as that perspective. But Holly
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Rowe last week, Texas and Ohio State, she tried to
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: talk to Sark and Sark was very dismissive of her
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: and just yelled like hook them and ran away.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: And there was some context to that, because they were
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: trying to do an interview with him at halftime.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: But he waited a long time.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they had technical issues, and he waited a
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: long time, and then eventually he just dipped. So after
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: the game, they were going to do a walk-off, and
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: that's when he was like, hook him, and he left.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: And so Holly Rowe came out and said, it's fine.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Like, I'm not mad at him. We had all these
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: technical issues. It's okay.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Holly Rowe, I hate when people
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: do this. I think she's excellent. I think she's really good. Okay.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: You watch her. She does a million different things, whether
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: it's that, whether it's the women's college world series and softball,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: she does a lot of different things. I think she's
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: really good at her job. And people go to that
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: loser behavior of like judging a person's looks. And I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: get it. It's television. We do this a lot. Felt
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: very over the top for Holly row. Like, one of
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: my favorite guys calling a game is Jason Bendetti out
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: of Detroit. He calls Tigers games and does a lot
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: of national broadcasts. I think he's one of the best
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: at doing that. Not exactly Brad Pitt, okay? All respect
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: to him. I'm not Brad Pitt. Point is, after that,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a Texas fan or somebody made an AI video of,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you know, one of those stupid things.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Sark.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: AI slaps Holly Roe and she goes like flying out
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: of the universe or something like that. To which Arch
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Manning laughed at it. That's his crime. He royally messed
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: up because he laughed at a fake AI video.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: And then he brought it up in a press conference.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That was the problem.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Well, they asked him, have you seen some of the
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: memes that came out of the game? And he goes,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I saw the one with Holly Roe. And he went, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: That's all he did. That's all he did. And everybody's like,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: how dare you laugh at a video of violence. It's fake.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: It's fake. And so now, when he's asked questions at
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: a press conference, this is 19 different answers, all compiled back-to-back-to-back.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Here's what it sounded like. No, not much.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: No, I'm sure I will this week. Yeah, definitely excited
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: to play. Hostile environment, SEC road game. That's what it's
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: all about.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Just being kind of us-against-the-world mentality. Just trying to find
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: that in practice this week, be consistent in practice. Excited
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: for this challenge. No, just never visiting. Josh does a
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: good job using his legs when he needs to. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: think sometimes I... don't need to.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Take these 19 different answers for a grand total of
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: 56 seconds. So he's obviously, he's either been told this
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: or he has been so pissed at the backlash that
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: he's gotten that he's like, well, then I just won't
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: say anything at all. The equivalent of people being mad
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: over laughing at an AI video would be like when
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: you watch Britney Spears, get her head ripped off in
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: celebrity Deathmatch and saying that it's rude to laugh at.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: They made an entire television show off of celebrities being
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: killed in a wrestling ring with clay figures. Like, is this.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong here? And tell me if I am.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm off base. Maybe I'm just like Arch Manning
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and I deserve a talking to for this. I have
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: no idea. I think it's okay to laugh at a
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: fake video of sports. I'll be honest with you guys.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of videos about Caleb Williams that
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I've seen that were AI. that I giggled at over
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: the last few days. Like, he had to make a
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: statement and Holly Rowe had to make a statement of, well,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: here's my perspective. There's no perspective. It's a fake video.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, Nelly. If Sark hauled off and
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: smacked Holly Rowe in the face in real life and
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: you laughed at the video, you're a bleep hole.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: If it's AI, I think it's fine because it's not real.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: And this isn't even to mention what happened yesterday in,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: in Boulder, which is the kid who said Northwestern sounds
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: like a bleeping library. What was his name again? Who
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: was that guy?
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Dewey Decimal was his name, I believe.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Whoever that player was for CU, Dion made him apologize.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Ben Finneseth?
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: And Dion made him apologize like that. The same thing.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, who cares? They're playing a football game.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: They aren't supposed to like the opponent or the place
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: that they play. I just, what's happening here?
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: And, I mean, you're trying to get your team psyched,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: fired up for the game any way you can, making
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: fun of the tiny stadium you're playing in.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Like, that's fine.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: And, look, here's the worst part about the Finissette thing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You got your butt kicked. That's why it matters. Seth
