- 0:43Speaker 4: All right, game tonight in Winnipeg against the Jets as
- 0:46Speaker 4: the Avs start the season 2-0, and we are joined,
- 0:50Speaker 4: as we are every Wednesday at 8 o'clock, by the
- 0:52Speaker 4: head coach of the Avalanche, Jared Bednar, and the Ramos
- 0:54Speaker 4: Law Hotline.
- 0:55Speaker 5: Coach, how you doing this morning?
- 0:57Speaker 6: Yeah, doing good. Doing good, guys.
- 1:00Speaker 5: Is the plan to score, to average, seven goals a
- 1:03Speaker 5: game all season?
- 1:05Speaker 6: That'd be nice. That'd be nice. I'd take that all
- 1:08Speaker 6: day long. Yeah, I don't know. The guys are... They're
- 1:13Speaker 6: feeling it a little bit offensively here. We've had really
- 1:16Speaker 6: good finishing in these first couple games. I think our
- 1:20Speaker 6: offense was definitely better in game two, five on five anyway.
- 1:26Speaker 6: When we get a quality chance, we've been putting it
- 1:28Speaker 6: in the back of the net. That often goes in cycles,
- 1:31Speaker 6: but right now we're capitalizing on some good chances and
- 1:36Speaker 6: I'd like to see it continue.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Hey, it looks like Nathan McKinnon is playing with a
- 1:41Speaker 3: chip on his shoulder and edge. When you got into
- 1:43Speaker 3: that fight, what's going through your brain?
- 1:47Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of the same thing. I get asked
- 1:49Speaker 6: this every year. You know, it's– I think the game,
- 1:54Speaker 6: it has to be played with passion and intensity and
- 1:59Speaker 6: Nate kind of– he is our emotional leader on the team, right?
- 2:03Speaker 6: Like that's kind of his staple and I think he
- 2:06Speaker 6: has to like– walk that line in order to be...
- 2:10Speaker 6: It's part of what makes him great, right? It's that
- 2:12Speaker 6: competitiveness and that edge that he plays with. He can
- 2:15Speaker 6: play through people. I think when it comes to puck
- 2:19Speaker 6: protection and the physicality offensively, it's what makes him such
- 2:24Speaker 6: a dangerous player. So I love when he plays like that.
- 2:28Speaker 6: When he gets in a fight, it's not something that
- 2:31Speaker 6: we want him doing every day. He understands that. But
- 2:35Speaker 6: when he gets in a fight, you just kind of
- 2:37Speaker 6: make him... just holding your breath, hoping that he comes
- 2:39Speaker 6: out of it healthy, you know, that he doesn't hurt
- 2:42Speaker 6: something that, you know, is needless. But it's also, if
- 2:47Speaker 6: you try to tone down that intensity and that fire
- 2:52Speaker 6: that he plays with, then he's likely not going to
- 2:55Speaker 6: be as effective as a player as he always is.
- 2:58Speaker 6: So there's a fine line. But he's a veteran guy,
- 3:01Speaker 6: a mature guy, and I just trust him in those
- 3:04Speaker 6: situations to do what he needs to do.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Coach, he's one of the best players on the planet,
- 3:08Speaker 2: but he's also, he's tough, he's strong, you know, he's headstrong.
- 3:13Speaker 2: How much of that acts as a deterrent, you think?
- 3:16Speaker 2: I hardly ever see anybody really mess with Nathan McKinnon
- 3:19Speaker 2: at all.
- 3:21Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's, like, it's twofold. It's a respect factor, like,
- 3:27Speaker 6: you know, around the league. They know the intensity he
- 3:31Speaker 6: plays with, and, you know, like, it's just one of
- 3:35Speaker 6: those things where, The stars, they get a lot of
- 3:41Speaker 6: attention because you have to check them hard and play
- 3:44Speaker 6: them hard. And it's the guys that you focus on,
- 3:47Speaker 6: you know, the other teams will focus on our team,
- 3:49Speaker 6: but we focus on other teams. But then it's also
- 3:53Speaker 6: a respect factor. Like, you don't want to have the
- 3:56Speaker 6: reputation of, like, going after the other skilled guys when
- 4:02Speaker 6: it comes to, like, just trying to draw them into fighting.
- 4:05Speaker 6: It's just not... Everyone knows it's not their game that
- 4:07Speaker 6: they're relied on too much. So the game is... It's
- 4:11Speaker 6: hard and it's physical and it's demanding as it is
- 4:14Speaker 6: for those top guys. It's also you kind of earn
- 4:19Speaker 6: your respect over time and everyone kind of abides by
- 4:22Speaker 6: the same rules, I guess, you know, when it comes
- 4:25Speaker 6: to other team star players.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Hey, Coach of the AFS, Jared Bednar with us. All
- 4:29Speaker 4: conversations with the coach are brought to you by Mr.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Ruder Plumbing, proudly rooting for Colorado's hockey team.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Talk to me about some of the new.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Guys, Coach.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Your initial thoughts through a couple games of Jaden Schwartz
- 4:39Speaker 4: and Svechkov and T.J.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Hughes.
- 4:42Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think they're all doing a really nice
- 4:44Speaker 6: job right now. It's like... Schwartzy as a veteran guy
- 4:49Speaker 6: coming in, you know, you got a really good idea,
- 4:51Speaker 6: you know, as a coaching staff, like what he can
- 4:54Speaker 6: bring to the table. Like Hacks coached him before in Seattle. Um,
- 4:58Speaker 6: he was in the St. Louis organization. I was there
- 5:01Speaker 6: as a younger guy, does a little bit of everything.
- 5:05Speaker 6: Like he's one of those, where you can plug and
- 5:09Speaker 6: play them in different situations and knows how to handle it. Um,
- 5:14Speaker 6: He's been really good for us. The areas that you
- 5:17Speaker 6: know he's going to be good at, wall battles, strong
- 5:20Speaker 6: on the puck, getting into the dirty areas, net front
- 5:23Speaker 6: to create scoring chances, can play and compliment high-end skilled players.
- 5:30Speaker 6: He's done all that. I think he used the time,
- 5:34Speaker 6: picked up the system quickly, used the time in exhibition
- 5:38Speaker 6: and training camp to ask the right questions, look at
- 5:40Speaker 6: a little video, get dialed in on the systems, and,
- 5:44Speaker 6: I mean, he looks great, and he's chipping in in
- 5:47Speaker 6: a bunch of different ways for us. T.J. Hughes is
- 5:51Speaker 6: an interesting one, right? Like, rookie success everywhere he's had,
- 5:55Speaker 6: like his brain and his passing ability and his skill
- 5:59Speaker 6: and his ability to, like, kind of distribute the puck
- 6:03Speaker 6: and play with top players has really shown up through
- 6:06Speaker 6: the course of training camp. Um, and he's picking up
- 6:10Speaker 6: the systems. Like I think like, like I've spent quite
- 6:13Speaker 6: a bit of time with him just kind of going
- 6:15Speaker 6: through his games and doing game reviews because I, I
- 6:18Speaker 6: don't want him thinking, you know, um, I want him
- 6:21Speaker 6: skating and playing instinctual and then using his skill. And
- 6:25Speaker 6: so that, that I thought game two was much better
- 6:27Speaker 6: than game one. Game one was better than, um, than
- 6:30Speaker 6: the exhibition games. But he's a guy we plugged into
- 6:33Speaker 6: our top power play unit, um, because of his brain
- 6:37Speaker 6: and his ability to think offensively and play with top
- 6:40Speaker 6: end guys. And, and also because of the handedness, like
- 6:44Speaker 6: him being a right hand shot is beneficial to our
- 6:47Speaker 6: power play, I think. So he's, he's been a nice fit.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Hopefully he can continue to grow and get more dangerous
- 6:56Speaker 6: on a daily basis as we continue to play him here.
- 6:59Speaker 6: And then that's, A guy I didn't know a lot about,
- 7:03Speaker 6: like we played against him when he was in Nashville,
- 7:07Speaker 6: kind of bounced around on different roles. We're trying to
- 7:10Speaker 6: settle him into a good role here where he's penalty killing,
- 7:15Speaker 6: where he's playing, you know, bottom six, third line center
- 7:20Speaker 6: right now. playing with some skilled guys like Schwartz and Hughes,
- 7:24Speaker 6: because I think he's got, he's a real responsible guy.
- 7:28Speaker 6: He's a good skater. He's big, long and strong. And
- 7:31Speaker 6: I think he can get, you know, better in all
- 7:34Speaker 6: those areas. And, um, I like the way he checks.
- 7:39Speaker 6: I like the way he thinks the game on the
- 7:40Speaker 6: defensive side of it. And a little bit like, say,
- 7:43Speaker 6: a Parker Kelly when we got him, you know, now
- 7:45Speaker 6: we want him to grow a little bit offensively and
- 7:48Speaker 6: continue to help out because I think he has the
- 7:50Speaker 6: skill and ability to be able to do that. So
- 7:53Speaker 6: he's a little project for us as well. And I
- 7:57Speaker 6: think the culture of our team and the leadership of
- 8:00Speaker 6: our team and how offensive-minded we are will really help
- 8:03Speaker 6: this game to be a really nice football team.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Hey, Coach, real quick, I wish you could see Vic's face.
- 8:09Speaker 2: You can't. I love the natural sound from the rink.
- 8:13Speaker 2: I think it's absolutely awesome. But a couple of those
- 8:15Speaker 2: slappers behind you, especially off the iron, you should have
- 8:17Speaker 2: seen Vic's face.
- 8:18Speaker 3: I keep flinching.
- 8:19Speaker 2: He's scared.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Coach, he's scared of it.
- 8:21Speaker 2: He's scared of it.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Because I've been in that situation, you know, where you're
- 8:24Speaker 3: set up behind the glass, behind the goal, and you're
- 8:27Speaker 3: at a practice, and all of a sudden it hits
- 8:28Speaker 3: the glass, and you just, like, jump for what just happened.
- 8:31Speaker 3: So I'm not used to it like you are, Moj.
- 8:34Speaker 3: I get it.
- 8:35Speaker 7: Hey, Coach.
- 8:36Speaker 6: Like in the rink here in Winnipeg, if you're down
- 8:39Speaker 6: in the locker rooms, I'm guessing I'm not getting a
- 8:41Speaker 6: lot of great service. So they got a handful of
- 8:44Speaker 6: guys out here from Winnipeg skating this morning. We're at 1030.
- 8:50Speaker 6: So this is the best spot out in the bowl.
- 8:52Speaker 6: Just watching some of these guys warm up and have
- 8:55Speaker 6: a little chat with you guys before we get going.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Oh, I get it.
- 8:58Speaker 3: It's all right. Is LOC ready to go?
- 9:02Speaker 6: He is close, yeah. We've got him and LaRue both
- 9:09Speaker 6: with us. And I think... like opening after a lower
- 9:15Speaker 6: body injuries for both of these guys, that's opening on
- 9:18Speaker 6: a back to back is an ideal, right? So, um,
- 9:22Speaker 6: LaRue's going to play tonight and then we'll, we'll adjust
- 9:25Speaker 6: for tomorrow. So, um, but both guys are, are, have
- 9:29Speaker 6: been doing really good and, um, and they're feeling good.
- 9:32Speaker 6: So we'll just kind of set the lineup for today, um,
- 9:36Speaker 6: to readjust for tomorrow, but I think there's a good
- 9:39Speaker 6: chance we get everybody in here and go in and
- 9:42Speaker 6: have all of our options available.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Head coach of the Fs, Jared Bednar, joins us every
- 9:46Speaker 4: single Wednesday. Coach, always appreciate the time.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 9:49Speaker 6: Okay, appreciate it, guys.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Thanks.
- 9:51Speaker 5: Head coach of the Fs, Jared Bednar.
- 9:53Speaker 2: By the way, this is an early game tonight. You
- 9:56Speaker 2: realize that, right?
- 9:57Speaker 3: 5.30, right?
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so that's...– well, yeah, the puck will actually
- 10:01Speaker 2: drop about 5.45 Denver time, 6.45 Winnipeg time. But that's
- 10:07Speaker 2: why everybody's on the ice so early. And he's right.
- 10:09Speaker 2: The rink, it's kind of like a little sarcophagus. If
- 10:14Speaker 2: you're out by the– if you're over by the locker rooms,
- 10:15Speaker 2: the signal– It might as well be a nuclear bunker.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 10:22Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 10:23Speaker 6: Sure.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:24Speaker 5: Well, he's out there getting work.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Yes.
- 10:25Speaker 5: Doing his job.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Yep.
- 10:27Speaker 5: So, again, game tonight at 530. It is funny, Moj.
- 10:30Speaker 4: He's talking about, you know, McKinnon fighting. They all know
- 10:35Speaker 4: this isn't something we want to happen often.
- 10:38Speaker 5: Okay?
- 10:39Speaker 4: Last thing you need is a busted-up knuckle.
- 10:41Speaker 3: They all know there's not much you can do about it.
- 10:43Speaker 5: But that, too. If Nate wants to fight, then Nate's
- 10:46Speaker 5: going to fight.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Sure. Listen, he doesn't, he's not a, quote, fighter, all right?
- 10:52Speaker 2: But what he is, is he's a guy who can fight,
- 10:55Speaker 2: and he's strong. And that first slipped right over the
- 10:58Speaker 2: top on Clark was flipping awesome. And he's a guy
- 11:01Speaker 2: who's not going to back down, and he's got that
- 11:03Speaker 2: intensity about him. So it does act as a deterrent
- 11:06Speaker 2: for other guys around the league who would jack with him. Nobody,
- 11:09Speaker 2: if you notice it, guys, nobody ever jacks with Nathan McKinnon.
- 11:13Speaker 2: There's never any face washing, there's never any you know,
- 11:16Speaker 2: extracurricular activity stuff because they know if they mess with
- 11:19Speaker 2: the bull, they'll get some horns. And after the Morris situation,
- 11:25Speaker 2: nobody jacks with Joker.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Well, last night they did.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Oh, they did a little bit? I didn't see that.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Oh, last night there was some Joker. Joker got teed
- 11:34Speaker 3: up at one point, I believe, and he had a
- 11:36Speaker 3: hard foul on Jackson Hayes. Jackson Hayes, the former Laker guy,
- 11:40Speaker 3: he and Joker were going back and forth.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Really? I didn't see that.
- 11:43Speaker 3: They needed to get Joker out of the game, and
- 11:45Speaker 3: they did. He was getting mad.
- 11:47Speaker 4: How about Jackson Hayes just takes the seat? How about that?
- 11:51Speaker 4: You're Jackson Hayes. Going to get in the face of Joker, really?
- 11:57Speaker 4: Stack resumes against each other and see if this should
- 12:00Speaker 4: be worth talking about. But it's funny, Moj. The first
- 12:06Speaker 4: couple of games here from... Some of these new guys,
- 12:09Speaker 4: we got the answer from Jared Bednar, Schwartz, and Svechkov,
- 12:14Speaker 4: and Hughes. How would you evaluate Hughes through two games?
- 12:18Speaker 2: I think that right now the game is a little
- 12:19Speaker 2: fast for him. I just think it's a little speedy,
- 12:22Speaker 2: a little quick. I think that will come in time.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I also think that because he is such a smart player,
- 12:31Speaker 2: he's still getting his chances. And you can see why
- 12:34Speaker 2: the coach likes him on any given shift, right? He's
- 12:37Speaker 2: just going to learn, Brett, that guys get from point
- 12:39Speaker 2: A to point B and they get on your butt very,
- 12:42Speaker 2: very quickly. That's exactly what happens. They just get on you.
- 12:47Speaker 2: And all the time, this is a big boy league
- 12:50Speaker 2: with the best players on the planet. And it'll happen
- 12:54Speaker 2: for him. It will.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Again, that game tonight is at 5.30 right here on
- 13:00Speaker 4: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Ian Eagle is going to join
- 13:03Speaker 4: us at 9 o'clock to give us a preview. He's
- 13:05Speaker 4: on the call for the Broncos game this weekend, yes?
- 13:07Speaker 3: Moser, while you're watching a practice, have you ever been
- 13:10Speaker 3: hit by a straight puck?
- 13:11Speaker 2: No. Okay, close. I take that back. I've had some
- 13:15Speaker 2: hit the netting above my head. Yeah, and then fall down. Yeah,
- 13:18Speaker 2: but I've never been hit with one, knock on wood.
- 13:21Speaker 3: So that happened to me last year in the playoffs.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Do you remember when you and Riker and JML were
- 13:26Speaker 3: sitting watching from behind the goal and I came up
- 13:28Speaker 3: to say hi to you guys?
- 13:29Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:29Speaker 3: And somebody slapped it, went up the netting, fell and
- 13:33Speaker 3: hit me on the top of the head.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:35Speaker 3: So I took the puck home.
- 13:37Speaker 2: You should. Say thank you.
- 13:41Speaker 5: It's given a gift.
- 13:42Speaker 3: And that hurt.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Oh, it does hurt.
- 13:46Speaker 5: A frozen piece of rubber?
- 13:47Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not... It doesn't tickle, bro. I mean, I've been.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I've had pucks thrown at me. I've been hit with pucks.
- 13:58Speaker 2: But not standing at the rink at morning skate.
- 14:03Speaker 4: The Avs are averaging seven goals a game, and they're
- 14:06Speaker 4: back on the ice tonight with the early game in Winnipeg.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Berto has pregame powered by Ramos Lot 5. Then Connor
- 14:11Speaker 4: brings you the action starting at 5.30 on your home
- 14:14Speaker 4: for the Avs. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Ian Eagle in
- 14:17Speaker 4: 45 minutes, but NFL True-False next. Ian Eagle's going to
- 14:20Speaker 4: join us at 9 o'clock to break down the Broncos game.
- 14:23Speaker 4: He's on the call for that this weekend against the Chargers.
- 14:25Speaker 4: But first, how about.
- 14:26Speaker 3: Some NFL True-False? Can I be real for a second?
- 14:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:30Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever expressed my opinion about this segment.
- 14:33Speaker 5: I love this segment. I don't care what you say.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Moshe, have you ever heard my opinion about this segment?
- 14:38Speaker 2: No, I haven't. No, but the problem is, Vic, you
- 14:41Speaker 2: don't even know what it is. You call it the
- 14:42Speaker 2: wrong thing every time, so it doesn't even really matter
- 14:44Speaker 2: what your opinion is. You don't matter.
- 14:46Speaker 5: By the way, you have expressed your opinion, and you
- 14:48Speaker 5: do it every time we play this game.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Have I?
- 14:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:51Speaker 3: All right, for those who missed it, I hate this segment.
- 14:54Speaker 3: It's so stupid.
- 14:55Speaker 2: I love it. That's two against one. You can just
- 14:58Speaker 2: take the time off, Jack.
- 14:59Speaker 5: Nelly, are you in or out on this segment?
- 15:01Speaker 7: I mean, I'm totally in. I love to see you
- 15:03Speaker 7: guys struggle with Brett.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I love it.
- 15:06Speaker 7: Honestly, because Brett words things in a confusing fashion and
- 15:09Speaker 7: then you guys get confused.
- 15:10Speaker 2: I love it. It's great.
- 15:11Speaker 6: Hey, Vic.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Segment stance.
- 15:15Speaker 2: The ruling has been made.
- 15:16Speaker 4: True or false? Bo Nix will gain the Broncos fans
- 15:22Speaker 4: confidence by the end of the year.
- 15:26Speaker 2: True. If he is who I think he is, Brett,
- 15:28Speaker 2: I think the answer to that is true. I cannot
- 15:30Speaker 2: see him regressing throughout the course of the season in
- 15:34Speaker 2: year three. I just can't.
- 15:35Speaker 3: One-word answer, Moj. Nobody cares what you think. This segment
- 15:38Speaker 3: is designed to provide a one-word answer.
- 15:40Speaker 5: No, you give a true or a false, and then
- 15:43Speaker 5: you explain your reasoning behind it.
- 15:44Speaker 3: I'm not going to gift you that.
- 15:47Speaker 2: All right.
- 15:48Speaker 5: True or false?
- 15:49Speaker 2: The Broncos secondary. Your Honor, Your Honor. Permission to treat
- 15:52Speaker 2: the witness as a hostile witness. It is hostile, yes.
- 15:55Speaker 5: I hold you in contempt.
- 15:55Speaker 2: You're in contempt.
- 15:56Speaker 3: That second is dumb.
- 15:58Speaker 4: And in this case, in contempt means you need to
- 16:00Speaker 4: speak more to the judge. True or false, the Broncos
- 16:03Speaker 4: secondary will be fine without Sertan and Riley Moss.
- 16:06Speaker 3: What is your definition of fine, sir?
- 16:08Speaker 2: Define fine.
- 16:09Speaker 3: What is fine?
- 16:10Speaker 2: Listen.
- 16:10Speaker 5: What is fine?
- 16:11Speaker 2: Listen.
- 16:11Speaker 5: What do you mean it's fine?
- 16:12Speaker 2: I'm going to need you to define what is, is,
- 16:14Speaker 2: and what fine is.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Like, they won't start getting torched by opposing offenses, that
- 16:18Speaker 4: they'll be fine.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Well, if, okay. if they're playing the dog butt chargers
- 16:23Speaker 2: and Justin Herbert, who's lost his brain, they'll be fine.
- 16:27Speaker 2: If they were playing the Rams this weekend, they'd be destroyed.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Okay.
- 16:32Speaker 5: Follow up to that. True or false.
- 16:34Speaker 4: The Broncos secondary will get at least one interception off
- 16:38Speaker 4: of Justin Herbert this weekend.
- 16:39Speaker 6: True.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I think true. And it may not come from
- 16:42Speaker 3: the secondary. It may come from a linebacker.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Yeah, Brett, he's lost. I'm telling you right now, your
- 16:47Speaker 2: boy Herbert is lost.
- 16:48Speaker 3: He's in love, Moj.
- 16:50Speaker 5: He's in love.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Well, he's got a job, but he's quitting his job
- 16:54Speaker 2: is what he's doing.
- 16:55Speaker 5: All right, two more on the Broncos front.
- 16:57Speaker 4: True or false, the Broncos will finish with a bottom
- 16:59Speaker 4: 10 rushing attack this year.
- 17:01Speaker 6: True.
- 17:02Speaker 2: True. True.
- 17:02Speaker 3: I don't see this getting fixed anytime soon. I mean,
- 17:06Speaker 3: I don't know how you fix it. I don't know
- 17:07Speaker 3: how you suddenly go from... You tell me. Is Jonah
- 17:12Speaker 3: Coleman going to come in and average 100 yards a game?
- 17:14Speaker 4: Yeah, everybody's kind of hoping for Jonah Coleman to be this.
- 17:16Speaker 4: And I think Jonah Coleman will be okay, but he's
- 17:18Speaker 4: not going to fix that.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Don't put your hopes on a rookie, man. Don't do it. No,
- 17:22Speaker 2: the answer is no, Brett.
- 17:24Speaker 5: True or false, Nick Benito will finish with at least
- 17:26Speaker 5: 10 sacks?
- 17:28Speaker 2: True.
- 17:29Speaker 5: He's at one through four games.
- 17:31Speaker 2: He may get four this weekend.
- 17:32Speaker 7: Okay.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Herbert gets hit a lot.
- 17:37Speaker 3: It's abundantly clear. Those bookends, when you have a bookend,
- 17:40Speaker 3: your job becomes a lot easier.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:44Speaker 3: You talking about Jonathan Cooper? Yes. Having a guy on
- 17:47Speaker 3: the other side. I mean, when DeMarcus Ware and Von
- 17:51Speaker 3: Miller were doing it, it's a lot easier.
- 17:54Speaker 5: True or false? Playing the Chargers in L.A. still makes
- 17:57Speaker 5: you nervous.
- 17:58Speaker 2: False. False.
- 18:00Speaker 3: That's a false for me. I'm not nervous. I mean,
- 18:02Speaker 3: it's a Broncos home game. What do you mean nervous?
- 18:04Speaker 5: Well, they don't play well in L.A. They don't.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we went to that game when it was
- 18:08Speaker 3: in the small stadium. And you saw, you will notice
- 18:11Speaker 3: that again this week. The Broncos dominate the attendance figures there.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Look at the numbers.
- 18:16Speaker 5: They play the Chargers in L.A. They still struggle there
- 18:18Speaker 5: for some reason.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Not this week, Brett. Not this week.
- 18:21Speaker 5: True or false? Kenneth Walker is the league MVP through
- 18:24Speaker 5: four weeks.
- 18:26Speaker 2: He's right there. False, but he's close. False, but he's, Brett,
- 18:33Speaker 2: he's right there.
- 18:35Speaker 4: I know he's a good running back. I'm shocked on
- 18:38Speaker 4: how good he is this year on that team.
- 18:40Speaker 2: I think Bijan is going to have something to say
- 18:42Speaker 2: about it before it's all said and done. If you're
- 18:44Speaker 2: talking about the top running back in the league. But, Brett,
- 18:47Speaker 2: it's just not his production. It's how he's playing the game.
- 18:51Speaker 2: He looks like he's better and faster than he ever
- 18:55Speaker 2: has been, which is crazy. And he was a Super
- 18:57Speaker 2: Bowl MVP.
- 18:59Speaker 5: True or false? Very simple one here. The Raiders are good.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Medium. Yes, true. They're good.
- 19:09Speaker 3: They should be respected. Unlike Mosier, I like to give
- 19:13Speaker 3: the opposition respect.
- 19:15Speaker 5: We were never supposed to be in this position.
- 19:19Speaker 2: They beat the crap out of the Dolphins. The Chargers stink.
- 19:22Speaker 2: The win against the Saints on the road was pretty
- 19:25Speaker 2: impressive to me.
- 19:26Speaker 3: They played the Chiefs tougher than we did.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Yeah, but they lost at home to them. I'll say medium.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Not an answer, but okay. I don't know how else
- 19:35Speaker 2: to categorize it.
- 19:36Speaker 5: True or false?
- 19:37Speaker 4: The 3-1 Giants or 3-1 Browns are a playoff team.
- 19:43Speaker 2: False, false, false, false.
- 19:46Speaker 3: I think that's.
- 19:46Speaker 2: False as well. False, false, false, false.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Although I find myself rooting for the Browns, and I
- 19:52Speaker 3: don't know why.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I do.
- 19:54Speaker 3: I'm pulling for the Browns. I want the Browns to win.
- 19:57Speaker 4: You cannot pull for the Browns. Everybody has to pull
- 20:00Speaker 4: for the Browns.
- 20:01Speaker 3: They're the Browns.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Brett, I know why. It's because you're stupid.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Let me back one up on that.
- 20:09Speaker 2: True or false?
- 20:10Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson finishes the year as the Browns' starting quarterback.
- 20:14Speaker 2: That's a true.
- 20:15Speaker 3: I think it's a false. He could get hurt for
- 20:17Speaker 3: a stretch or two here.
- 20:18Speaker 2: It's very difficult.
- 20:19Speaker 5: Let me say outside of injury, just by play.
- 20:21Speaker 2: That's a true.
- 20:22Speaker 3: That's a true.
- 20:23Speaker 5: All right. True or false? An 0-4 team will finish above. 500.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Here's your options. The Dolphins, the Texans, the Titans, the Chargers,
- 20:34Speaker 5: and the Bucs.
- 20:37Speaker 8: Uh.
- 20:38Speaker 2: The only one that has a chance, in my opinion,
- 20:41Speaker 2: are the Bucs, who are just two games out of
- 20:43Speaker 2: first place in their own dang division. So I'm going
- 20:45Speaker 2: to say, God, why do I keep doing this to myself?
- 20:49Speaker 2: I'll say true.
- 20:49Speaker 5: I still believe in.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I don't necessarily believe.
- 20:54Speaker 5: You believe their division's junk.
- 20:56Speaker 2: You're asking them to go 9-8, though. That's 9-4 the
- 20:59Speaker 2: rest of the way. I think they could do it
- 21:02Speaker 2: because their division's junk.
- 21:03Speaker 6: Yes.
- 21:04Speaker 2: True or false? False.
- 21:07Speaker 5: The Rams will finish third in the NFC West.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It could be true. That could be true and still
- 21:14Speaker 3: make the playoffs.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:15Speaker 7: Sure.
- 21:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:16Speaker 3: I mean, there's Seattle and San Francisco.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Aren't going anywhere. I'll argue to you the Rams could
- 21:21Speaker 2: finish third in the NFC West and still win the
- 21:23Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
- 21:24Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Hell, they finished second last year in the NFC West
- 21:27Speaker 3: and almost got there, right?
- 21:28Speaker 2: Yep.
- 21:30Speaker 4: True or false, Nick Sirianni will not be the Eagles
- 21:33Speaker 4: coach next year.
- 21:34Speaker 2: True.
- 21:34Speaker 3: And the heat is on.
- 21:35Speaker 2: True.
- 21:36Speaker 3: If they fail to make the playoffs, he'll be gone,
- 21:39Speaker 3: so I'll go with the true as well.
- 21:41Speaker 5: True or false? Drake May and the Patriots are back.
- 21:46Speaker 3: False.
- 21:47Speaker 2: That's a false for me, too. One game does not
- 21:51Speaker 2: a back make. That's the only way I can put it.
- 21:56Speaker 2: But they're a 500 team. Who do they got this week?
- 21:59Speaker 2: Let me see. Mama Mia, yeah. Can't pull it up
- 22:04Speaker 2: because my computer is low. The Patriots have. They have
- 22:08Speaker 2: the Raiders at home. The Raiders.
- 22:10Speaker 5: And then the Jets.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Oh, I swear to God, if they lose at home
- 22:12Speaker 2: to the Raiders this week.
- 22:16Speaker 3: That schedule is pretty comforting. I mean, they could win
- 22:18Speaker 3: two straight and be four and two.
- 22:21Speaker 6: Back.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Back, baby.
- 22:24Speaker 5: All right, two more. True or false, Tyreek Hill will
- 22:26Speaker 5: be a chief.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Falls, have you seen some of the stuff that's happening
- 22:30Speaker 3: right now off the court or off the field with.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Him in the courthouse? Yeah, that was, that's, right now
- 22:36Speaker 2: the testimony is going on through the divorce trial. Yeah.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And the soon-to-be ex-wife, I guess, has laid out some
- 22:43Speaker 2: pretty damning things. I don't know, man. I'm not sure
- 22:46Speaker 2: I'd like, I'm not sure I'd want to get involved
- 22:48Speaker 2: in that right now at all. I wouldn't put it
- 22:50Speaker 2: by the Chiefs, though.
- 22:51Speaker 5: I was just going to say, the Chiefs would never.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Chiefs don't care what Mark Mosher thinks.
- 22:56Speaker 4: All right, and then finally, I just think this one's
- 22:58Speaker 4: fun because this is interesting. True or false, the Atlanta
- 23:04Speaker 4: Falcons will win the NFC South with a healthy Michael Penix.
- 23:07Speaker 6: True.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I like that team.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Started off poorly, too.
- 23:12Speaker 3: I like that team.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Here's what's funny.
- 23:14Speaker 4: The Atlanta Falcons, the first two weeks of the season,
- 23:16Speaker 4: did not run a snap inside the red zone. Michael
- 23:19Speaker 4: Penix gets inserted in the lineup. They played road games
- 23:22Speaker 4: at Green Bay and at New Orleans, two of the
- 23:25Speaker 4: loudest places you're going to play in the league. They
- 23:27Speaker 4: put up a combined 70 points in those games.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Yes, they did. I don't know that I've seen. Here's
- 23:33Speaker 2: what's so crazy. They scored 13 points in week one.
- 23:37Speaker 2: They got shellacked by the Panthers 34-3 in week two.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Then they explode for 35 at Green Bay and 45
- 23:45Speaker 2: at New Orleans. Yeah. Somebody explain that to me other
- 23:48Speaker 2: than Michael Penix is a gift from heaven. I don't
- 23:52Speaker 2: know what else to say, but I'll say true. I'll
- 23:55Speaker 2: say true.
- 23:56Speaker 4: And that is NFL True False. I have a piece
- 24:00Speaker 4: of audio from Adam Schefter.
- 24:01Speaker 3: That segment is dumb.
- 24:07Speaker 5: I have a piece of.
- 24:08Speaker 4: Audio here from Adam Schefter. And I've thought this through
- 24:12Speaker 4: the first four weeks. It's been driving me nuts. And
- 24:15Speaker 4: I thought maybe I'm just like sort of prisoner at
- 24:17Speaker 4: the moment.
- 24:17Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 24:20Speaker 5: The ref show has to stop in the NFL. It's ridiculous.
- 24:23Speaker 3: 963 penalties through the first four weeks. That's the most
- 24:27Speaker 3: penalties in the NFL since 1978 through four weeks.
- 24:31Speaker 5: Here you go to back you up.
- 24:32Speaker 8: There were more penalties called in week four of the
- 24:37Speaker 8: NFL season than there had been in any week since
- 24:41Speaker 8: week two of the 2015 season. So if you're watching
- 24:45Speaker 8: the games and you're thinking, what's going on here? in
- 24:49Speaker 8: the Seattle Charger game where each team got flagged, I think,
- 24:52Speaker 8: 13 or 14 times. And it seems like every game
- 24:55Speaker 8: is being stopped repeatedly with penalties. And it seems like
- 25:00Speaker 8: the NFL, which is back flag football, didn't intend it
- 25:03Speaker 8: to become flag football the way it did in week four.
- 25:07Speaker 3: But that's what's happened.
- 25:09Speaker 4: It's driving me nuts. I can't stand in any sport.
- 25:15Speaker 4: I can't stand a ref show. In basketball, where they
- 25:17Speaker 4: call every ticky-tack foul. I'm like, would you just let
- 25:19Speaker 4: them play?
- 25:21Speaker 5: Let them play. What are we doing?
- 25:24Speaker 2: Did you see what I sent you a little bit earlier?
- 25:26Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 25:29Speaker 5: What was it?
- 25:30Speaker 2: Well, that NFL referee got busted and suspended, right, for
- 25:34Speaker 2: saying a bad word to Trey McBride, correct?
- 25:38Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:39Speaker 2: And then the clip Continues on with various, over the years,
- 25:44Speaker 2: NHL referees just getting in cursing matches with players. Tell
- 25:52Speaker 2: them to go blank themselves.
- 25:54Speaker 3: I mean, all hockey refs can do whatever they want.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Speaking of flags, the NFL has rescinded that fine it
- 26:02Speaker 3: imposed on Kyle Juchek, the chugging the beer fine for $ 14, 900.
- 26:06Speaker 3: They've rescinded that one. I wonder if they rescind the
- 26:12Speaker 3: one that they handed to Quinn Miners for rolling of
- 26:15Speaker 3: the dice.
- 26:16Speaker 6: They should.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Stupid.
- 26:21Speaker 3: But what, what crosses the line? If I did a,
- 26:26Speaker 3: I don't know, like what would I do? What would
- 26:31Speaker 3: Mosher do? What would he be known for that would
- 26:33Speaker 3: cross the line for a flag?
- 26:35Speaker 7: Well, who was our boy on the Falcons that did
- 26:37Speaker 7: the gun celebration and the NFL fined him, and then
- 26:40Speaker 7: he came out and he said, no, no, no, I
- 26:41Speaker 7: was shooting off a T-shirt cannon into the stands. It
- 26:44Speaker 7: wasn't a gun.
- 26:45Speaker 5: Is that Drake London or somebody?
- 26:46Speaker 7: Drake London, yeah.
- 26:47Speaker 3: But a gun one is easy to identify, and there's
- 26:50Speaker 3: no mistaking that.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Would they fine a bazooka if I went like this?
- 26:56Speaker 3: Jock and Rock, you make a good point. If Mosier's
- 26:59Speaker 3: stomach went berserk during the game, would he be fine
- 27:01Speaker 3: for that?
- 27:02Speaker 2: No.
- 27:13Speaker 3: No, that's just not human.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Okay, hang on. Sorry.
- 27:15Speaker 6: Hang on.
- 27:17Speaker 5: How about this? Because this happened in college football.
- 27:19Speaker 4: I don't think they can't find college football players, but
- 27:22Speaker 4: if you sack somebody and then pretend to pee on them,
- 27:25Speaker 4: is that something that should be illegal?
- 27:29Speaker 3: Why'd you switch your format there, Moj?
- 27:31Speaker 2: Because my computer is dying in Winnipeg. It's dying.
- 27:34Speaker 3: Why don't you get your charger on it?
- 27:36Speaker 2: The charger is on it, but for some reason, for
- 27:42Speaker 2: some reason, it's not. Maybe I have too many things
- 27:45Speaker 2: open or whatever, but for some reason, it's dying on me.
- 27:48Speaker 2: So I'm going to go to the phone here for
- 27:50Speaker 2: a little while. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 27:52Speaker 5: This is a great tech. It's a great question.
- 27:56Speaker 4: When we do lay it down every Friday, Mosher always
- 27:58Speaker 4: starts it with really ham-handedly licking his fingers and playing
- 28:03Speaker 4: air drums. If you did the finger-licking thing, I'm fining
- 28:06Speaker 4: you immediately. Like, no question, because I don't know what
- 28:10Speaker 4: you're doing. I don't know what that means, but I
- 28:12Speaker 4: don't like it.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Okay, if we're to throw flags during a round of golf,
- 28:16Speaker 3: when Mosher does his snot rocket stuff before he tees off,
- 28:19Speaker 3: that's an immediate fine, right?
- 28:22Speaker 2: Yep.
- 28:22Speaker 3: That's so gross.
- 28:24Speaker 2: You've got to have your... Your sinus is cleared in
- 28:28Speaker 2: order to bomb it off the tee.
- 28:30Speaker 5: When Mosher breaks his putter against his golf cart.
- 28:34Speaker 3: When Mosher offers his Coke juice to somebody else.
- 28:42Speaker 2: That's so gross.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Notice how this is all Mosher?
- 28:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I've noticed that. Didn't take me long.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Bottom line is, It's insane, and it's a problem that
- 28:53Speaker 4: the NFL needs to fix. Nobody wants to watch 25
- 28:56Speaker 4: flags a game. It was Cincinnati and who last week?
- 29:01Speaker 5: I forget.
- 29:01Speaker 3: It's early in the season, though, Brett. Jason Richardson made
- 29:04Speaker 3: this point last night.
- 29:05Speaker 2: It was Jacksonville.
- 29:06Speaker 6: Yes.
- 29:07Speaker 3: We're watching Nuggets preseason, and these games are taking forever
- 29:10Speaker 3: because there's a lot of whistles, and they're trying to
- 29:12Speaker 3: enforce certain rules that they said they would. So the
- 29:15Speaker 3: first couple months of an NBA season— It's going to
- 29:18Speaker 3: be whistle after whistle after whistle. And then as the
- 29:20Speaker 3: season progresses, they'll just relax.
- 29:22Speaker 2: A little bit.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Happens in every sport.
- 29:24Speaker 5: Funny thing is the Broncos in Niners game last week
- 29:27Speaker 5: wasn't like that. They actually let them play.
- 29:29Speaker 4: The Broncos got way more flags because the Broncos were
- 29:32Speaker 4: doing things that were obvious pre-snap stuff that you have
- 29:34Speaker 4: to call.
- 29:38Speaker 2: You have to call that kind of thing, but I
- 29:39Speaker 2: can tell you if you implement some new rules or
- 29:43Speaker 2: there's things you want to emphasize, these officials are basically
- 29:46Speaker 2: beaten over the head with, hey, let's really, really get
- 29:51Speaker 2: on this to start the year. It's happened in the
- 29:52Speaker 2: National Hockey League on a couple of occasions where you
- 29:57Speaker 2: come out of the gates and they're calling like every
- 30:00Speaker 2: stick foul, every, I mean, you know, they, because they're
- 30:02Speaker 2: clarifying things and they want players to learn early on
- 30:04Speaker 2: in the season. And then it relaxes a little bit
- 30:07Speaker 2: as the year goes on and guys, you know, tend
- 30:10Speaker 2: to adjust their game to the new rules. I'm not
- 30:13Speaker 2: saying that that's happening in the national football league, but
- 30:16Speaker 2: there's gotta be a reason why there are so many,
- 30:18Speaker 2: so many flags on the field. There's gotta be a reason.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Well, the flags for actual football, Actual fouls doesn't bother me.
- 30:27Speaker 3: If you get flagged for pass interference, that's a foul.
- 30:30Speaker 3: It's the arbitrary flags for, for example, the ones we
- 30:34Speaker 3: just discussed for taunting or whatever they deem taunting. It's
- 30:38Speaker 3: such a subjective issue. I mean, who, who's the judge
- 30:41Speaker 3: and jury on that? Like if I score a touchdown
- 30:44Speaker 3: and my celebration is old, like a Travolta style, I'm
- 30:49Speaker 3: going to comb my hair. Is that taunting?
- 30:52Speaker 5: I think, I think you'd be fine.
- 30:54Speaker 3: What if I did it toward a bald player?
- 30:59Speaker 2: I think you're still in the clear.
- 31:01Speaker 3: I'm taunting the bald player.
- 31:03Speaker 2: I think that it obviously comes from up top. It
- 31:08Speaker 2: has to. I don't think these officials are arbitrarily just saying,
- 31:11Speaker 2: I don't like the look on your face. I'm going
- 31:13Speaker 2: to throw a flag or you're drinking beers or whatever.
- 31:16Speaker 2: I think it's got to be pounded into them from
- 31:19Speaker 2: the higher powers in the National Football League to Let's
- 31:23Speaker 2: keep everything on the up and up in this league.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Protect the shield and all this kind of crap. None
- 31:30Speaker 2: of it bothers me, to be honest with you. I
- 31:32Speaker 2: like it. So when they throw all these flags for
- 31:35Speaker 2: unsportsmanlike and just silly things, I just roll my eyes
- 31:38Speaker 2: at it.
- 31:40Speaker 5: It needs to stop. That's all I'm saying.
- 31:42Speaker 3: 303-504-0925.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Ian Eagle is going to join us.
- 31:48Speaker 4: In 20 minutes, and he'll give us a breakdown on
- 31:50Speaker 4: the Broncos and Chargers this weekend. He'll be on the
- 31:52Speaker 4: call for that. High school football this week takes us
- 31:55Speaker 4: to Arvada. Rivalry matchup between No. 7 Ralston Valley and
- 32:00Speaker 4: Arvada West.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Ralston. Ralston.
- 32:03Speaker 5: No, I was thinking about doing the. Vic Lombardi's going
- 32:06Speaker 5: to be on the call.
- 32:07Speaker 3: I'm right here. I get to do the game with CJ,
- 32:11Speaker 3: Charles Johnson.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Haven't worked with CJ in a long time.
- 32:14Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 32:14Speaker 4: So that's going to be Friday night at 7 on
- 32:16Speaker 4: your home for high school football, Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 32:19Speaker 4: It's all powered by Sport Clips, pros in men's hair.
- 32:23Speaker 4: So we'll talk to Ian Eagle at 9 o'clock.
- 32:25Speaker 5: Vic's right there. Oh, by the way, he's next.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Bye.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Anime, Star Wars, Star Trek. The toilet suddenly shattered and
- 32:35Speaker 3: collapsed beneath them.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Wait. Are you still driving that Honda?
- 32:38Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, with Mosher Lombardi and Kane.
- 32:42Speaker 5: Pay attention and stop looking at that squirrel.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
- 32:51Speaker 4: we feel like you should be aware of. I'll start
- 32:54Speaker 4: here real quick because we have four different playoff baseball
- 32:58Speaker 4: games today starting at 2 o'clock. The White Sox with
- 33:01Speaker 4: a chance to close things out against the Guardians and
- 33:04Speaker 4: head to the ALCS. Dodgers up 2-1 over the Braves.
- 33:09Speaker 4: That's at 4 o'clock. They have a chance to close
- 33:11Speaker 4: things out and go to the NLCS. Rays can sweep
- 33:16Speaker 4: the Yankees and go to the ALCS, and then San
- 33:19Speaker 4: Diego wins last night.
- 33:21Speaker 5: They now are down 2-1.
- 33:23Speaker 4: To Milwaukee who has a chance to move on after today.
- 33:26Speaker 4: So a whole bunch of baseball games with clinching scenarios.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Bro, did you watch the end of that Padres game
- 33:32Speaker 3: last night? That Padres-Brewers series is downright awesome. Every single
- 33:38Speaker 3: game comes down to the last drop.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Those teams are so fun to watch. That one is
- 33:45Speaker 4: probably my favorite series of any so far. Dodgers-Braves has
- 33:50Speaker 4: been okay. I'm over the Dodgers.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I'm over them.
- 33:54Speaker 5: And I don't think the Braves got the horses to
- 33:56Speaker 5: do it.
- 33:56Speaker 2: I've been over them for several years now, Kaner. Oh,
- 33:58Speaker 2: by the way, how much basketball is too much basketball?
- 34:02Speaker 2: I'm going to ask that for this.
- 34:03Speaker 3: There's never too much basketball.
- 34:05Speaker 2: If I was a pro basketball player that couldn't make
- 34:08Speaker 2: it in the NBA, I'd be very happy with this.
- 34:10Speaker 2: But did you see where... The EuroLeague in Europe, obviously,
- 34:14Speaker 2: has rejected a formal offer from the NBA to merge
- 34:18Speaker 2: and create a single NBA Europe. The EuroLeague says, no,
- 34:21Speaker 2: we want to expand. We want to continue to do
- 34:23Speaker 2: our own thing. Meanwhile, Vic, the NBA is still going
- 34:26Speaker 2: to continue forward with plans for an NBA league in Europe.
- 34:31Speaker 2: So we're going to have competing leagues in Europe? Is
- 34:34Speaker 2: that even possible?
- 34:35Speaker 3: What's going to happen is they're going to try to–
- 34:37Speaker 3: it's clearly going to saturate the market in Europe, and
- 34:40Speaker 3: the NBA– is going to spend enough money to the
- 34:42Speaker 3: point where the EuroLeague is going to relent. That's what
- 34:47Speaker 3: this is right now. So the NBA is saying, hey,
- 34:50Speaker 3: why don't we join forces here? We'll take your existing teams.
- 34:54Speaker 3: We'll give them an NBA title, and you'll sort of
- 34:57Speaker 3: be our development league in Europe. The Europeans are like, no, man,
- 35:00Speaker 3: we've been around a long time. We're not doing that.
- 35:03Speaker 3: We ain't going to do that. And I don't blame
- 35:05Speaker 3: those teams, by the way.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I don't blame them one bit.
- 35:07Speaker 3: But it's going to come down to a financial standoff.
- 35:09Speaker 8: Right.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, it's a market saturation, and I don't
- 35:14Speaker 2: know how much the.
- 35:16Speaker 3: You're underrating, underestimating how popular basketball has gotten in Europe. Moj,
- 35:22Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I've seen it firsthand over the last
- 35:24Speaker 3: 30 years.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Okay.
- 35:26Speaker 3: It is huge. I mean, Europe and basketball, after soccer
- 35:32Speaker 3: and Formula One, those are still the two most popular
- 35:34Speaker 3: sports there. It's basketball, number three.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Two things in hockey, oh, by the way.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Did you guys see Dylan Larkin got booed in his
- 35:44Speaker 4: home stadium last night only to score a goal at the,
- 35:48Speaker 4: I don't know, seven minutes left in the first period?
- 35:51Speaker 5: And the whole crowd.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Cheered, and I think they were very confused on how
- 35:54Speaker 4: to react when Dylan Larkin scored.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Saw that, yep.
- 35:57Speaker 5: What happens here?
- 35:59Speaker 4: So Larkin's going to play. The fans hate him. He
- 36:02Speaker 4: doesn't want to be there, but they're just stuck.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Well, it's sort of like Hellebuck tonight in Winnipeg. He's
- 36:07Speaker 3: nowhere near the rink, right? No, he's on the couch.
- 36:12Speaker 3: I guess I have no idea.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Where he is.
- 36:13Speaker 4: But yeah, that's if Hellebuck was going to play tonight,
- 36:16Speaker 4: but he's not. Dylan Larkin's playing with a fan base
- 36:20Speaker 4: that now can't stand him in his hometown that he
- 36:23Speaker 4: grew up in.
- 36:25Speaker 5: He grew up there.
- 36:27Speaker 2: As a child.
- 36:28Speaker 4: He played in college there. He got drafted by the team.
- 36:30Speaker 4: He became the captain, and now they all hate him. Yeah,
- 36:33Speaker 4: because he wants out.
- 36:35Speaker 2: It is tough. Do you have another hockey thing? I do.
- 36:38Speaker 5: Yeah, because this was.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Can I play or am I allowed to play?
- 36:41Speaker 5: No, you're boxed out.
- 36:42Speaker 4: This was TSN on the call last night. Overtime, Predators
- 36:46Speaker 4: and Leafs. A 3-on-1, or I'm sorry, a 3-on-0 breakaway
- 36:51Speaker 4: for the Leafs to win this game in OT.
- 36:53Speaker 2: And Austin Matthews, and he's.
- 36:55Speaker 6: Going to give it to him.
- 36:57Speaker 8: It's a 3-on-0 to Matthews, to Rowley, to Cowick, shoots,
- 37:00Speaker 8: throws the same.
- 37:03Speaker 2: What? It was stuffed.
- 37:05Speaker 5: A 3-on-0 in overtime, couldn't put it in.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Well, there's a goalie there still.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it's 3-on-0. What? That's absolutely fantastic. That's probably what
- 37:20Speaker 2: Riker's reaction would be, too, if the Avs had a
- 37:22Speaker 2: 3-on-0 to win tonight in Winnipeg and were stuffed. Hey, oh,
- 37:25Speaker 2: by the way, did you see the Florida Panthers? You know, they're, again,
- 37:29Speaker 2: a favorite to win the Cup after missing because of
- 37:31Speaker 2: what they did in the offseason. The guy's getting healthy. Well,
- 37:33Speaker 2: Alexander Barkov is now out four to six weeks with
- 37:36Speaker 2: a knee. Did you see what happened to Brad Marchand
- 37:39Speaker 2: last night against the Kings? I did not. Side of
- 37:43Speaker 2: the net, his left knee just buckles, and he goes
- 37:45Speaker 2: hard into the end boards, and he's laying there on
- 37:47Speaker 2: the ice, and he's holding that knee. It's the, ah, ah.
- 37:53Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to be evaluated today, but it
- 37:55Speaker 2: looked awful. He might be gone for the season, and
- 37:59Speaker 2: I'm telling you guys, that's where this injury factor scares
- 38:02Speaker 2: me to death in hockey and football, and really everything, man,
- 38:06Speaker 2: because everything can change on one silly injury.
- 38:10Speaker 3: I got one for you.
- 38:10Speaker 5: Yeah, do you want to play?
- 38:11Speaker 2: Yeah, can I play? Sure.
- 38:13Speaker 3: This hits home for you there, Brett Cain. University of
- 38:16Speaker 3: Nebraska Memorial Stadium. They are selling the old troughs they
- 38:20Speaker 3: used for urinals. And they're selling them for $ 3, 000 each.
- 38:25Speaker 3: And I find this intriguing. First of all, do they
- 38:28Speaker 3: got new bathrooms? What's going on?
- 38:30Speaker 5: I'm sure they're just renovating.
- 38:31Speaker 2: I have no idea.
- 38:32Speaker 3: They're renovating. So they're taking the old massive urinals, troughs,
- 38:37Speaker 3: and saying, who wants these?
- 38:39Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 38:39Speaker 3: And people are buying them for $ 3, 000 each. First of all,
- 38:44Speaker 3: two things, two things. Number one, my uncle has a
- 38:48Speaker 3: urinal at his business, and I think it's the coolest
- 38:50Speaker 3: thing in the world. It's just sitting there.
- 38:53Speaker 2: To be used.
- 38:53Speaker 4: I was this close to putting one in my basement.
- 38:56Speaker 4: The guy who was doing the basement says, do you want.
- 38:57Speaker 5: A urinal in here? And I was like, yeah, but no.
- 39:02Speaker 3: So what prevented you from taking that on?
- 39:05Speaker 4: It was a smaller bathroom that just would have felt crowded,
- 39:10Speaker 4: and I don't really know how to clean urinals.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Got you. The other point I had on this is,
- 39:15Speaker 3: you're not going to remember this, neither of you, but
- 39:18Speaker 3: the old south stands at the old mile high, we're
- 39:20Speaker 3: talking back 1980s, south stands underneath them. They had the
- 39:25Speaker 3: largest trough I've ever seen in my life. I mean,
- 39:27Speaker 3: this thing, it's like one of those cow troughs. and
- 39:30Speaker 3: everybody went to the bathroom in this thing.
- 39:33Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 39:33Speaker 3: I want to know whatever happened to that.
- 39:35Speaker 5: Well, it's a great question. I'm going to say something here.
- 39:37Speaker 5: I like peeing in a trough.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:42Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you. You throw the
- 39:44Speaker 4: ice in there. You watch the ice melt. It's a
- 39:46Speaker 4: fun little game that you're playing.
- 39:47Speaker 2: For, I don't know, 20, 30 seconds.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Oh, so it's a game.
- 39:50Speaker 4: It's a fun little game. You watch the ice just
- 39:52Speaker 4: kind of go down. I like it, but I don't
- 39:55Speaker 4: know what I would do. Like, first of all, these
- 39:58Speaker 4: ones that they're selling from Nebraska Stadium, how big are they?
- 40:03Speaker 5: Like, where are you putting it?
- 40:04Speaker 3: The standard six footer.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I don't know what you do. If you own a bar,
- 40:09Speaker 2: you could advertise that, hey, listen, come pee in Memorial
- 40:13Speaker 2: Stadium's trough. Is that a selling point? I don't know
- 40:17Speaker 2: what you do.
- 40:17Speaker 5: Wait, I'm pretty sure, doesn't the DNVR bar have a
- 40:20Speaker 5: trough in there?
- 40:21Speaker 2: I don't remember.
- 40:23Speaker 3: First of all, is the pronunciation trough or trough?
- 40:25Speaker 2: Trough.
- 40:26Speaker 5: Trough.
- 40:26Speaker 2: What do you mean trough? What are you saying? Who's trough?
- 40:31Speaker 5: I'm going to do a segment within a segment here.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Hold, please.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Stropo.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 40:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:39Speaker 5: Do you like to pee on ice?
- 40:40Speaker 2: Cause I do. Yes or no.
- 40:44Speaker 4: I mean, I I'm just, I look, my job is
- 40:48Speaker 4: to be honest with our audience. I'm just telling you,
- 40:50Speaker 4: I like it. Hey, did you guys see, this is,
- 40:54Speaker 4: this is an odd story. I don't know what's going
- 40:58Speaker 4: on necessarily. Philadelphia, the Eagles, they already have like a,
- 41:02Speaker 4: a whole bunch of problems. Their offensive line is being decimated,
- 41:08Speaker 4: and they got the news today that Hall of Fame
- 41:10Speaker 4: tackle Lane Johnson is retiring. Now, there's some sort of
- 41:15Speaker 4: personal thing that's in the middle of this.
- 41:17Speaker 5: I don't know exactly what it is, but.
- 41:20Speaker 2: He says it's like a mental health thing, right? Like,
- 41:22Speaker 2: for his mentals?
- 41:23Speaker 5: I don't know if it's that or family health stuff.
- 41:26Speaker 5: I'm not sure. But he retires midseason, which is rare.
- 41:30Speaker 5: Don't see that all that often. But the Eagles now,
- 41:32Speaker 5: with their whole strength and power, remember.
- 41:35Speaker 4: they have the tush push that's set up by having
- 41:38Speaker 4: all these great old linemen that get push off the
- 41:40Speaker 4: line of scrimmage.
- 41:41Speaker 5: Well, they're without Lane Johnson. Uh, uh, Dickerson is another
- 41:46Speaker 5: offensive lineman of theirs. It's out with injury.
- 41:47Speaker 4: They're in some trouble, but Lane Johnson, I mean, he
- 41:51Speaker 4: is one of the best to do it. I mean,
- 41:53Speaker 4: that guy's been around for, I don't know, two times
- 41:56Speaker 4: Superbowl champ. He's been here for 13 years or something
- 41:59Speaker 4: like that.
- 41:59Speaker 5: It's a good player. It's now gone. Um, Anybody else?
- 42:06Speaker 6: No?
- 42:07Speaker 2: I've got one more. Last night was Lionel Messi's final
- 42:10Speaker 2: game for the country of Argentina. 208th in final game,
- 42:14Speaker 2: scored his 126th goal for his country. And Vic, they
- 42:20Speaker 2: were playing, is it Benin? Is that how you pronounce
- 42:23Speaker 2: that country? Benin? Not Benin, it's Benin? I did.
- 42:29Speaker 5: I had no idea that was a country, so I
- 42:31Speaker 5: don't know what you're talking about.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Are you talking about Brazil?
- 42:35Speaker 2: Nelly, help me out, please.
- 42:38Speaker 7: Mosher, it's benign is what you're talking about. Not malignant, benign.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Benign, okay. No, I'm kidding.
- 42:43Speaker 7: Is that a country? I honestly have no idea what
- 42:45Speaker 7: you're talking about.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Are you talking about Belarus?
- 42:48Speaker 2: No, it's Benin. You guys are idiots. Anyway, the point
- 42:51Speaker 2: is this, is that Argentina, and he's done, but he said,
- 42:55Speaker 2: I wish I could play forever. And for one of
- 42:59Speaker 2: the greatest on the planet, Vic, that's kind of like
- 43:01Speaker 2: a fitting way. I mean, he scores a goal and said,
- 43:03Speaker 2: I wish I could play forever, and then that's That's it, man.
- 43:06Speaker 2: His Argentina career is done.
- 43:10Speaker 4: The Republic of Benin is a country in West Africa.
- 43:14Speaker 4: It's bordered by Togo to the west and Nigeria to
- 43:17Speaker 4: the east.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Oh, okay. You're welcome. Hang on.
- 43:23Speaker 4: What's the population here? 15 million. 15 million people.
- 43:29Speaker 5: If you want to know their gross domestic product, it
- 43:31Speaker 5: is $ 76 billion.
- 43:33Speaker 2: What's their number one exportable good? Hold, please.
- 43:40Speaker 5: Export of palm oil and cotton.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Ooh, really? There you go.
- 43:45Speaker 5: Nelly, you said you got one on.
- 43:45Speaker 2: The way out?
- 43:46Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 43:46Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, Vic, you are this show's master
- 43:49Speaker 7: of metaphors, similes, analogies. I mean, just yesterday, you were
- 43:53Speaker 7: talking about the Broncos running game and how it pertains
- 43:56Speaker 7: to what?
- 43:56Speaker 2: The chicken.
- 43:57Speaker 7: The egg, the farmer, the known universe.
- 44:00Speaker 2: It's a gift.
- 44:01Speaker 7: So I need a ruling on what C.J. Stroud had
- 44:03Speaker 7: to say post-game after the Texans fell to 0-4. He
- 44:06Speaker 7: was asked, why is last year's success not translating to
- 44:10Speaker 7: this year?
- 44:10Speaker 9: Every year is different. Last year's bread isn't going to
- 44:15Speaker 9: feed us this year. So you've got to find new ways.
- 44:18Speaker 9: I remember in college, Coach Day used to always say,
- 44:20Speaker 9: you have to be an iPhone. You have to upgrade
- 44:22Speaker 9: every year.
- 44:24Speaker 3: I think it's great.
- 44:26Speaker 7: You think that's a good Lombardi quality metaphor there?
- 44:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's perfect. You better upgrade because the
- 44:30Speaker 3: battery goes bad.
- 44:31Speaker 5: That iPhone needs an update every three weeks. Drives me nuts.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Well, the batteries automatically start to... Like Mosher, for example.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Mosher is doing the show on his phone because for
- 44:43Speaker 3: some reason his computer is not holding battery charge.
- 44:46Speaker 2: What's so sad is looking at my computer, it said
- 44:49Speaker 2: 10% a moment ago.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Now it says 9%. Now it says 8%. Maybe your
- 44:53Speaker 3: charger's bad. Clearly, if it's not taking charge, you've got
- 44:57Speaker 3: a bad charger.
- 44:58Speaker 5: Does everything break around you?
- 45:00Speaker 3: You know what, Moshe?
- 45:02Speaker 5: He's that guy.
- 45:03Speaker 3: He's that preschooler whose nose is always running.
- 45:05Speaker 5: That's a good analogy.
- 45:08Speaker 2: That's another good one.
- 45:09Speaker 3: That's a great one. It's always running. He's got snot everywhere,
- 45:13Speaker 3: snot bubbles. He can never keep the equipment working. Everything's
- 45:17Speaker 3: broken all the time.
- 45:19Speaker 5: Just get healthy.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Poms are falling off. Stomach's grumbling.
- 45:24Speaker 4: Ian Eagle's going to be on the call for the
- 45:25Speaker 4: Broncos and Chargers this weekend, and he joins us next.
