9-03-26 Hour 2 - Prepping for a healthy Mahomes/Clippers punishment not severe enough/Oh, By the Way... · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher Lombardi and Kane On Demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Chad Brown here in just a couple
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of minutes and he'll give us a breakdown of CU.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: In the game tonight, we also have some Sean Payton
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: audio from yesterday that I want to get to. He
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: talks about a lot of different things.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Did he leave the door open for the backup quarterback?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Did that door feel like it's just a little bit
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: cracked open?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: No. A little bit?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Nothing?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: No.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Would you like me to explain in a very abbreviated
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: time frame before Chad Brown joins us?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Why the hell would you pay $ 8 million against the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: cap for Jarrett Stidham to be a third-string quarterback?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Because you have the money, and where else are you
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: going to spend it?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: What's the point?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Well, this is a for-now situation, Brad.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: It's a just-in-case, break glass, you need a four-game run
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: during the regular season. You can count on this guy
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: somewhat more than you can count on the other guy.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Save the season.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: It just felt to me like. I mean, he said
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Jared for now essentially is what he said. It just
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: felt like a little door open a little bit.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I think I told you guys what the plan is,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: and I think the development plan is in full effect.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: They've told Ellinger, stick around. You're the guy, full term,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: after this year when we have to pay Bo. We're
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: going to pay Bo eventually, but stick around.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And then it feels to me like, Vic, if he
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: wants one, he can have a nice, happy backup job
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: for the rest of his career with the Denver Broncos
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: is what it feels like.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny how these backup jobs are the
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: greatest security. I'm watching Hard Knocks last night, the season finale,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and Drew Locke is just so happy-go-lucky with his backup
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: job up in Seattle. Remember all the stress he went
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: through here trying to battle for the starting job? And
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: now he's sort of moved into that luxury position. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: that is just chill out. Just be reliable. Run the
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: second team.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't that a great gig?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: It's a great gig.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Drew Locke.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You just, you don't have.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: He's making 2.5 per to be happy.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: 2.5 to do this. To kind of just chill. Go
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: through practice. You're still an NFL player. You play a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: premium position. If you do get thrust into a football game.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's pretty low stakes because if you fail, people are like, well, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you're the backup.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: So everybody chill.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Sean Payton was asked about
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: prepping for Mahomes, he said.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I think, and I'm going to probably say the same
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: for Bo, you've seen enough things where he's going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: be 100% and we're preparing for his best. We know
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: how talented he is and I'm sure he's attacked the
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: rehab the way Bo has. Completely different injuries, but That's
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: kind of our approach to it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Are you expecting any sort of shortcoming physically from Patrick Mahomes?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Do you think that he is going to be noticeably
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to you different in that first game.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Of the year?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Because I don't.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I don't really.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: My question is, is he going to wear the big
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: knee brace?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Well, if he wears a big knee brace, then I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: think he's probably going to be.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Less than 100?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, no, not.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's not going to be as agile
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and quick, obviously, as he once was. If he wears
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the big knee brace. I mean, it's a bit of
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a boat anchor.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Is it not?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's big.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: But I completely agree with Sean Payton. Look, he's going
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to be 100. We're pretending he's going to... There's no
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: reason to think he's going to be anything less than 100%.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: What you're preparing for right now is a 100% Patrick Mahomes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: which you have oodles and oodles of film on. That's
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the guy you're going to be looking at.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I want to go get those. I just want to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: buy a couple of those knee braces and just wear them.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: See if they make my knees feel better.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I'm sure the restrictive nature won't make you feel better whatsoever.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: But more like intact, more safe.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: The one he was wearing at the start of camp, though,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: was the big one. It was not like the sleeve
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you put over your knee. He was wearing the thing,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the He was wearing, like.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: The big one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: With the poles and all that crap.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had one that looked like offensive lineman wear.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And that is brutal. If
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you guys, if you've been out to, like, Broncos training
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: camp or whatever, you sat close enough to the field
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: where you can see these offensive linemen up close, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the amount of them that have those braces on just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to walk because they're walking around with 300-plus pounds on them,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: plus they're doing that and getting under a squat rack
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: with 500 pounds on it, it probably hurts a lot.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Probably hurts.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I remember back, golly, I was just a young pup,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the cub reporter at San Francisco 49ers training camp, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Randy Cross. Remember old Randy Cross?
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Went on to have a great television career.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: He did. And Randy Cross and the Niners offensive linemen
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: are kind of the ones that started with this knee
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: brace stuff, Brett. And when you look at it now,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: it's like, Caveman stuff. On top and bottom, and then
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the side was just like a piece of metal. That
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: barely even flexed.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Hold!
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And all it would do is it helped prevent side impact, okay?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So that the metal wouldn't give, and so guys would
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: just bounce off so your knee wouldn't go sideways. It's
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: not like the contraptions they have today, which are space
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: polymer and every joint moves, and it's like a, you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: it's like iRobot.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, these things were like some guy in his
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: garage was making them. It's crazy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it's... Evolved to the point now where the knee
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: reconstruction is done inside out. They give you a fake
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: knee for crying out loud.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: By the way, in other AFC West quarterback news, Kirk
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Cousins was officially named the starter for the Raiders. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: don't think that's a surprise to anybody, but I'll ask
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you the same question. This is interesting from this standpoint.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He's the first number one overall draft pick at quarterback
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to not start since Baker Mayfield in week one. And.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I think, what did they say.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: The number was?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Was there like five in that time frame? Six, something
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: around there? But you don't play the Raiders until I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: believe it's week 11 of the season.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Mendoza's starting by then, right?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're going in it very carefully. They
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: may not trust their offensive line. They understand it's a
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: new head coach, new system. Let's just sort of take
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: it easy, see how it goes. And then when they're ready,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: they'll make the move, right? I find nothing wrong with this,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and I know you're more of the, hey, throw him
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: in the deep end right away. A few games to understand.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Help me get through this because I don't want Clint
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Kubiak to fail. Oh, I do. Well, okay, but he's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: a hometown kid. I watched his high school career. Bless you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Played for Big 50. I watched his football career, so
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: on and so forth. I don't want him to fail,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and I don't want him to be overwhelmed or anything
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of that nature, yet I don't want the Raiders to
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: be good. So what am I doing here?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Here's what you're doing. You're rooting for the Raiders to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: be bad.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ultimately I am. Hey, can I give you ultimately
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I am?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Just a thought exercise for a second. Just a football
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: thought exercise. What I love to do. Hold my hands, please, boys.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And let me take you to make-believe land.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Which we close our eyes?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Close our eyes.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Close your eyes. Kirk Cousins has been a good quarterback
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: in this league before. He was not last year, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I think those days are probably done. But let's just
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: say that he finds some of that. He finds that
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: fountain of you. And he leads the Raiders to a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: 10-win season and a playoff appearance.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I'm opening my eyes here. I don't know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Okay. What you doing next year? In this division?
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And let's say wins a wild card game. After that,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they're done.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: What?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Make-believe world.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: This is beyond make-believe, dude.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Well, there was a situation that happened.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Pinocchio's more believable than this.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: There's a situation that happened just a couple years ago
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in a much different team where the Minnesota Vikings said, thanks,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: see you later. We drafted somebody in the first round.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: We're going to play him next year.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Happened to him. And then they stunk, and Sam Donald
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: won a Super Bowl. So what are you going to do?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Hypothetically, just hypothetically, 10-win season for the Raiders under Kirk Cousins.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: They make a wild card. Don't even win a wild
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: card game. Let's just say they just make it. They
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: make it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: What did I say? I'm not sure where I watched
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: it the other day.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Are you going to have J.J. McCarthy sort of fears
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in this, or do you just, hey, man, I drafted
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: this guy number one overall. We said we were going
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to sit him for a season. He's going to be
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: our quarterback.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: So, Vic, do you recall what the then St. Louis
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Rams did? Do you recall the turnaround they had with
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: their team? I just was watching something last weekend, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: it was like an older documentary about Kurt Warner and
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: about how he became the Rams' starting quarterback. Remember, Trent
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Green got hurt in the preseason. Yep. And everybody's freaking out,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and Dick Vermeule goes to the team and goes, no,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: we got a guy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: His Trent was good.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to rally around Kurt Warner and be like,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: who the... Like, I mean, you had guys... You had
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: guys like throwing their helmets on the field when Trent
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Green's down in a heap with his knee blown up.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And like, no, we're going to be. They went from
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: 4-12 to 12-4. Hang on, answer my question. And Kurt
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Warner became a Hall of Famer.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Answer my question.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: So I guess it's possible.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: What?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: What do you do? If Kurt Cousins magically leads that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Raiders roster to a wild card game.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: What if aliens today land in Golden State? Colorado and
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: capture Vic Lombardi and take him to Uranus?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of different things I have to see.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Hang on, guys.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They aren't going to a wildcard game.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: No, they aren't.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: That's why we're in make-believe land. You don't need to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: tell me this isn't going to happen. I'm well aware
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: of this. I want to just, from a football-minded standpoint,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: what do you think you'd do?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Well, I could give you a couple examples. You mentioned
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: the Patrick Mahomes one. Kansas City's a pretty good team,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: and Alex Smith was gonzo no matter what happens that season. True.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, so we've seen this play out before. You stick
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: to the plan.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You know what's interesting is I wonder if J.J. McCarthy
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't hurt his rookie year. You guys remember that, right?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: He had the knee injury in training camp that kept
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: him out for the year. If they were able to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: watch him play, are they like, maybe we keep seeing him?
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: They just couldn't see it. They just know they made
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: an investment. In the following year, it was, I guess,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: not rookie, but rookie time. What's amazing to me, go
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: back and read.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Go back and read... The analysis on J.J. McCarthy. Before
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: he was drafted.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Did you hear my analysis?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: What, he sucks?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Not that he sucks, I'm just like, he didn't have
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to do all that much in Michigan. They ran the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: hell out of the football, they played great defense, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: he made like three throws a game.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: The one thing that they did.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: They did run the ball well, and that's why Michigan won.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: In their defense, it was like every game they held
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: everybody in nine points.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: They categorized him in pre-draft analysis as sluggish. Sluggish in
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: his movement and sluggish in getting through his reads.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: JJ is sluggish. Nine is not.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: What a jerk.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Texans are saying Kirk Cousins is 38, Sam was 27. Guys,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it's make-believe land.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: But you're asking us to make-believe something that is.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: The clouds are made of cotton candy in this land
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: that we're in. The flowers are lollipops.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Do you ever watch any old Disney movies?
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: What is the least believable?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I have a four-year-old, Moshe. I'm well-versed in the Disney movie.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, Beauty and the Beast, that's basically your life.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: So that's way more plausible.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Come on in, be our guest.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: It's plausible.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: But, like, Pinocchio, Snow White, the Snow White thing with
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: seven dwarves and poison apples is way more believable than
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins leading the Raiders to the postseason this year. Now,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Fantasia and, like, Pinocchio, those are way out there, bro.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it was just a thought exercise. Just what would
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you do if you were in Kubiak's position where.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You have wasted five minutes of my day?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I know, dude. And now I have brain damage. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: now I've got to go see a shrink. What are
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you doing to me?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I love make-believe land.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Did I force you guys to think too much? Use
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: your imagination?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I can use my imagination. Some things are so stupid. But, like, Vic,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: where's your Harry Potter wand?
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I've got it handy right here. I felt like making.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Fred go away.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Vic going, Canis, leave us. That would be way... And
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you poof.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Anus? Canis. Oh. Anus, Canis. The Brennan Marion offense is considered, quote,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: basketball on grass. The go-go offense. If they get to
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: 30 points tonight, the Buffs win. It's that simple. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: want to see Julian Lewis in this offense. And I
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: want to see the formations. Because one thing, guys, be
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: prepared to see some things tonight that you haven't seen.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: That you're like, what is that? Like, a running back.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: We'll set up next to– and by the way, none
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: of us have seen it because practice is usually closed.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: A running back will set up next to the quarterback
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: on the right side. Right, Moshe? The other running back
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: may come in motion or may set up right behind
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the guard, like directly behind the guard. The weirdest formations
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you've ever seen you're going to see tonight.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm telling you. If you want to, again–
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that Georgia Tech, Vic, they probably went back
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: and they watched a lot of Sac State football. I mean,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: have fun with that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: But I think this is perfect for CU. Here's why.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: It's a unique offense. It's a different offense. I'm not
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: going to call it an option offense like Air Force,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Georgia Tech used to run the option. It's not that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Although there are elements of that that expose themselves in it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: It's unique enough to where you have to force the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: opposition to get out of its norm and and research
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: and really focus on a different style of play that week. Like,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Posey teams hate playing Air Force because they know, oh, God,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: we've got to drop everything and rewire our defense. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I think that's exactly what CU is going to force
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: some teams to do, and I think it's a great idea.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, Vic. Sight unseen, I will pay
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: CU a compliment. If you do not feel as if
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you can get the same caliber of player as maybe
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the bigger teams in your conference or in college football,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you need to operate differently than those teams. Then you
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: need to do things in a different manner and trying
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: out this offense, which seems to be very different from
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a normal college offense might be the right way to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: go in the same way that Air Force can't run
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: college football offenses, right? They can't get the same type
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: of players. They don't have the personnel, correct. So they
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: got to be different. If you want to be quasi-competitive,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: if you want to be competitive at all, you have
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: to go so outside the box.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I did see, though, Vic, it came up on my timeline.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Did you see that the Academy is going to unveil
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: a Fisher to Berry statue this year?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Good for them.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's absolutely and completely appropriate.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: They've redone that entire stadium over there, so I'm sure
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: that they're adding some elements to it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Brett, you've been to a game at Air Force.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, been to a couple.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I love them.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: How much fun is that?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: We had a B-2 flyover, one of the games I
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: went to.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Dude, I saw Notre Dame one time
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: at Air Force. Vic, what year was that? 2003? They
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: played there a couple times. But it was that cold night.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: It was one of the coolest experiences. I told you
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: my mom's story. I've been to like 15 Air Force
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: games over the years because it's hard with doing hockey.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Can I quickly share my mother's story at Air Force
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: 1988, Notre Dame's national championship season. Or was it 89
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the year after? One of those two years. Maybe it
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: was 89. My mother and father go to the Notre
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Dame Air Force game in the academy. I got them tickets.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I could not go because we had finals week or something.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I usually called the games for student radio, but I
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: got them tickets to the game. So they go down there.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: They watch the game. And this is back in the
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: day where you could pretty go anywhere you want. There
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: was no massive security. My mom brings a bunch of
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: food with her. It was around Thanksgiving. I think she
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: brought a full turkey. She said, I'm going to get
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: this food to my boy.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Bambina's got turkey tucked under her arm.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: This is a true story. She goes to the team
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: buses after the game, the Notre Dame team buses, walks
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: up to a random player and says, bring this to
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: my boy when you go back. Could you imagine the
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: look on their face? Some lady just showed up with
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a box of food.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Just a bag full of spaghetti.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Bag full of food.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Bring this to my boy. Guess what?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I got the food. You're kidding me.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Did you really?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Did it keep.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: good enough a long trip we had a nice feast
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that's great here here's a catch this turkey bang it's
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: from the story it's from your mom from down from
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the springs back in south bend here can you imagine
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: ma'am if you're tony rice rocket is male and this
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: little lady walks up with a turkey and says bring
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: this to my boy.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Bring this to my son well you know.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: What dude times were seriously times were different then man
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: i can see i can see him doing it it's kind.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Of cool.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: She would have been tased on sight if she tried
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that today.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Today cuffed.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: In news, out of Colorado Springs, a woman trying to
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: bring her son food to bring back to college was
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: tased and arrested after walking up to Notre Dame's quarterback.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: A woman posing as a mother thing.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Uh, all right.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: So we'll see if we can connect here with Chad
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Brown in a couple of minutes, Jeff Legwald at nine
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: o'clock stick around. All right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So we have Jeff Legwald joining us at nine o'clock
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, going back to this Kawhi story, if
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you guys missed it, which it's hard to believe, um,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the Clippers got handed a punishment in which Steve Ballmer
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: was fined $ 30 million. He was banned for a year
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: from team activities along with the GM and another front
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: office member. Um, It was another year and six months
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: for another front office member. They were docked five first-round
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: draft picks, and Kawhi Leonard was fined $ 700, 000. That was
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: it for him. And his agent-slash-uncle, Uncle Dennis, has been
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: banned essentially from the NBA. I think it says five
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: years or something like that, but he's banned. And this
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: is all surrounding circumventing the salary cap to get extra money.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: funneled over to Kawhi Leonard in illegal means.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Can I say this too? Who's the president of the team, Frank?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: What's his name again? Oh, look it up. Is it
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Louis Frank?
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Lawrence Frank.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Lawrence Frank. Do you recall back in 2015, Vic, that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the Clippers, this is a year after Ballmer buys the Clippers,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the NBA finds them $ 250, 000. Do you recall that?
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Because they tried to get unauthorized business and investment opportunities
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: to players as they pursued the Andre Jordan.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: They did?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Who's this now?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Who are you talking about? The Clippers. With Frank and
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: obviously Ballmer. So the league finds him 250 Gs back
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: in 2015. From what I understand, Vic, Brett, they made
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Balmer and Frank watch a video about cap circumvention and
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: what not to do.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Was this grade school?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I swear to God.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait a minute.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's hilarious.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So this is one of those like, hey.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: We get these videos all the time, right?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Our HR has said that you need to watch this
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: fire preparedness video. If you see smoke.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Within your kitchen, do you, one, oh, that's hilarious, yell, run, two.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Do nothing. He has to watch one of those videos?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: So that's the, they had to get training on not
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: circumventing the cap. And then they get Kawhi in 2019,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: and all of this comes out. And the more I'm
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: watching Wendy, Vic, the aspiration part of it, the tree thing,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: is just a very tiny part of, They wouldn't cooperate.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Don't forget the scoreboard, Daktronics.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. The three other companies, Vic, apparently
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: they want to keep doing business with the NBA. The
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: NBA does not have subpoena power. They can't just go, hey,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: we're forcing you in front of a grand jury to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: testify about dealings with Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. You
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: can't do that. But because Daktronics and these two other
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: companies want to continue to do business with the NBA,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: they're like, what do you want to know? We'll tell
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: you everything you want to know. They've cooperated fully. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: so the preponderance of evidence in this thing is massive.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Let's break this down a little bit more. So Lawrence Frank,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: the guy who runs the team, essentially makes all the
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: decisions on the roster and all that business. Do you
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: believe he had knowledge that Kawhi Leonard was making money
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: under the table?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: He should have been fired.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Nah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: A six, what is it, a six-month suspension?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I think it's six.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: How did they all not know, Vic? That's the question.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: How did they all not know?
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: They did. How does he still have his job? How
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: does he still have a job?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Well, he's suspended without pay for a year.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: He should be fired.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Same with Jillian Whatserface, the director of business operations.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Steve Ballmer, executive, Jillian Zucker, a band from All Team,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: activities for a year, President Lawrence Frank for six months,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: and Uncle Dennis for five years.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: I'm reading this right now. Ballmer had previously been disciplined
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: by the NBA for a similar issue involving his pursuit
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: of DeAndre Jordan.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Hold you.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Holy moly. That's a nugget I was unaware of. I
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: didn't know that there was. And see, so many of
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: these things are coming out. This isn't the first time
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: he's tried this.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Here's the situation, guys. And it actually says, no one
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: has told me what suspending the owner would actually do.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: That's the point. We open up the show. This is
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: my thoughts on this. This sounds like something that's incredibly
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: harsh when I don't think it is at all. $ 30
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: million fine is a lot of money.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Not for him.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Not for somebody who has a net worth of $ 170 billion.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: That's a rounding error. Okay? That's what it is. Secondly,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: banned him from all team activities for a year. The
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: punishment is he can't sit courtside for a season.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: He has a television. That's it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: He doesn't sit courtside.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Well, can he go to the gym?
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: He cannot be seen in any NBA-related activities.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Thirdly, five first-round picks docked. That sounds like a big thing.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Out of anything here, it's the biggest thing that exists.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: At the same time, this Kawhi trade is still going
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: to go through now because Kawhi is not suspended. He's
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: fined when he should absolutely be suspended, but they didn't
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: want to do that because they didn't want to void
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: out the biggest trade of the offseason. So, what are
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: they going to get in return? The answer is multiple
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: first-round picks. And let me add this nugget to it,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: because this is Brian Winhorst from earlier today on ESPN.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Similar thing happened back in the year 2000 surrounding the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves with Joe Smith.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: That was Joe Smith, yep.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know the details on what exactly happened there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: But the T-Wolves were hit with a five first round
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: pick penalty just like this. But in that case, the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: T-Wolves cooperated. A year later, they were given back a
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: first round pick. And two years later, they were given
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: back another. So eventually, the penalty was only three first rounders.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: If that happens along with the trade to Toronto, maybe
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: nothing happens. From a total draft pick being docked standpoint happens.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: The biggest losers in this are the LA Clippers fans.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: No question.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: And they did start to build a bit of a fandom.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: They did. I saw it with my own eyes. Those
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: fans now are left with a team that's in shambles,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: and they're not going anywhere this year or the next
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: couple years. They're just not unless something crazy happens. So
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: they're stuck with season ticket prices they've already paid for, right?
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: They're the ones that get screwed here. So what would
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: you suggest is the proper discipline for something like this?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I think the executives should be fired and probably banned
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: from the league.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Should fans be given their money back? Should fans be
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: refunded their money if they don't want to go anymore?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Season ticket holders. Well, maybe.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: But I think that Kawhi should be suspended for a year.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: This trade should be voided. And Vic, I'm not even kidding.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: So Toronto, in effect, gets screwed here. They made the trade.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: They knew that he was under investigation.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Just so you know, I agree with you.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And then, I think Ballmer should lose his team. You
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: can't be this involved in a cheating scandal. And then
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have this persona of, oh, I welcome an investigation. Let's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: see if there's no way they're going to find anything nefarious.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Knowing what they did and then getting caught?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: No.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Brett, here's the slippery slope. Oh, you're going to take
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: my team, huh? God, I wonder how I can find
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: other instances across the NBA.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Of this happening. Well, guess what? They did this with
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the owner before the Clippers, but here's the difference. First
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: of all, Donald Sterling had a fraction of a percentage
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: of what Steve Ballmer has for money. That's one.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: And he wasn't well-received, among other things.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And number two, they hated him. Everybody hated him, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: it was the easiest thing in the world to get
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: rid of him.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Listen, the statement that the Clippers, a lawyer, sent the
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: NBA tells you everything you need to know about what
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: they would do if you tried to take the team away. Quote,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: more importantly, this is what the lawyer wrote to the NBA.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: As you well know, such introductions between player and sponsors
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: are both proper and commonplace in the league. We're confident
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: that if the league spent $ 50 million investigating any team,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: it would find plenty of instances of team personnel making
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: introductions to both sponsors and vendors in response to player requests.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: They're making the allegation that everybody's doing it. Here's the difference.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Not everybody has an owner that's investing the exact same
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: amount of money in some random fake tree company that
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: is paying that same amount of money to the player.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But if you, if you read the Daktronic side
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: of things, it's basically we're building this new building. We
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: would like you to do all of the Jumbotron and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: everything else, all the boards, everything, everything inside the new building.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Sound good.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Sure. We can handle that. No problem. We're the best
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: in the business at it. Oh, by the way, if
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: you want that job, You got to give some bread
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: to our top player. That's essentially what was accused.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: There is a Pandora's box here that now that you
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: allow your imagination to wander, what if in a couple
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: years Bo Nix is doing monster commercials for SRM Concrete?
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? There's so many. Nothing to
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: do with that. I mean.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Doesn't Jokic do commercials for Ibotta or whatever? Or what
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: was it? Or credit unions?
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: What credit union? Yeah, I mean, you can do– there's
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: nothing wrong with that, with doing commercials for basic sponsors.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: The wrong is having the investor, having the owner funnel money,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: his own money, to those companies that go straight to–
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: You can do sponsorships for anybody.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: No, but this is what I'm saying. That's not the problem.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: They can sit here and act like, oh, if you
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: spent $ 50 million investigating anybody, you'd find some dirt. Because
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: that's essentially what they're saying here. Do that for any team.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You're going to find dirt and a way to punish them. But,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Who was it?
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Hey, Moshe. Moshe.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: People have been busted for drinking and driving, and you
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: shouldn't drink and drive, right?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But we know on any given night, you're on the
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: road at 930. Anybody should be. There's probably. Yeah. number
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: of people that are above the legal limit that are
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: on the road. What the Clippers did was stick their
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: head out the window with one hand on the steering
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: wheel holding a bottle of Jack.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Going, whoo!
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: They made it that easy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It's like you didn't, you can't have somebody paid. And
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I'll let you guys know how endorsements work. Kawhi is
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: a much different stratosphere than myself, Vic, or Moj. We
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: all have endorsements, though. Company pays you to endorse their product.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They say, hey, you got some following. People like you.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic. I go there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You use the product. You like the product. Here's what
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: we need you to do. We'll pay you a little
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: bit of cash. Let's use the product. You tell them
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: how great the product is, and that's going to be
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: our exchange. Kawhi Leonard got $ 40 million.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: $ 40 million.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: That was the exchange. That's all that happened. That's not
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: an endorsement.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: And the other thing is this. I can't get over
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: this part of it. We live in an era where
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: these Supermax contracts and the amount of money that the
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: players are getting paid, how much is enough, man?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, that too.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Supermax wasn't enough for Kawhi Leonard?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: You're so right.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: So it wasn't enough to pay him back? $ 50 million.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Where are we going here? I'll take the baby max.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Is there a baby max? Yeah, I'll take a baby.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I know there's a super max. I don't need a
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: super max.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I want the vet minimum max.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: The more you discuss this, the more I think Kawhi
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Leonard has gotten off scot-free. He's played this. I don't
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: know what's going on for all this. I don't know.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: It's my uncle. I don't know. He shouldn't be playing
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: in the NBA.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: So the.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: You know, I agree with you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: He should be out of the league.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Saul Wachtler.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: American judge in 1985. He was the chief judge of
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: the New York Court of Appeals at that time. Famous
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: for saying, you could indict a ham sandwich. So yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I suppose if you look hard enough or you can
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: make things up, you can indict anybody for anything. Here's
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: my belief on this. How bad does this look for
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: the NBA? It's terrible. Do you think Adam Silver wanted
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: to do this?
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: No.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: No. Absolutely not. But you may call it not a
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: severe punishment, Brett, but it's severe enough to tell me that, look,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: they didn't want to do this, and yet it's still
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: 30 mil, five firsts. You've got to give credit to
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Adam Silver. Yeah, no, I do give him credit.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: You've got to give him credit. It could have easily
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: looked the other way forever. We assume that's what they
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: were going to do.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and who knows what happened prior to his tenure, right?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that they didn't want to do it,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and they still came up with all of this. This
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: is significant.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: What amazes me is that these five first-round picks are
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: now taken from the Clippers, and they just go poof.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: When there's a lot of teams out there that can
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: use those picks. I mean, somebody suggested to me just now,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: why not make those, dangle those as the winner of
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: the NBA Cup gets the Clippers five first-rounders. Oh, man.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Or just each year. Yeah, that's what you're saying.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, you know. Each year, the winner gets the
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Clippers first round pick. What if the Clippers win it?
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Do they get back? Hey, more power to the Clippers.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: They can win it back. You know, it would also
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: be a reminder. Actually, it's not a bad idea. Every year,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: the NBA Cups played at stake tonight. A million dollars
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: and the Clippers first round pick. You remember what they did?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe I'm just jaded.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm jaded.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: And I certainly am jaded. This feels a lot like me. Like, see,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: we did something. We don't tolerate this. In the same
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: way it was like, Donaghy, we got him. That was it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: There was no other ones. He was the only one.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Don't ask more questions. He's gone. I told you. We
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: fixed it. It's like, are you really going to try
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: and convince me there's only one guy that was acting
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: this way? And look, they were able to get by that, right?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: They swept that under the rug. But it feels a
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: lot like that. Like, see, we did it. I told you.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard ordered to pay $ 700, 000 in restitution after taking
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: millions from a fake company. Unbelievable what he got away
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: with here. Even if he didn't get it.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That's the most insulting part.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: And I just find it, he's the one that got
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: dinged the least, and he's the one that is most
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: contrite about it.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: He's the one that's most honest about it. He's the
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: one that's going like, listen, I really screwed up, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I got another one for you, Moshe.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: See?
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: We got him. The interpreter spent all the money on gambling.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: It was the interpreter. See, we did it. Don't ask
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: more questions. It's over.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Someone says Kawhi can't be punished for his uncle's actions.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: You damn right.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: What are you, a child?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: What are you, four?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: He took the money.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: And that's where I go back.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: It's in his bank.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: That's where I go back to.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It's in his bank.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: See, Moshe? The interpreter's gone. It's over.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I told you. Yeah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Shohei didn't do any... This guy stole $ 15 million from
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: his bank account without Shohei knowing it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: That happens.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the time.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: That's a thing that happens. Yeah, it does.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: 303-504-0925.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, next.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: we feel like you should be aware of.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Can I start out, please? Hey, Vic, Brett, I love
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: it when the evil empires... start to eat their own.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Let me explain. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is encouraging
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey to take, quote, all measures available,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: including suspending and removing LSU from the conference if the
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Tigers elect to roster former NFL players this season.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: LSU plays at 530 on Saturday.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, dude. What are they going to do?
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Cancel the season?
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Guys, we're two days away from this.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? We're talking about these guys who
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: were at training camp and then went back to college. Well,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Texas has an interior lineman, the center slash guard, who's
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: made 48 starts the last four years. He was in
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: many camps. Didn't get offered a contract, but he's back
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: and he's cleared to play in college. Not only that,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: but I was just reading that a St. Louis County judge,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: you ready for this? What state would that be in? St. Louis.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, Missouri?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Denied the NCAA's motion to dismiss a temporary restraining order
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: that gave Missouri defensive tackle Sterling Webb a fifth season
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: of eligibility, which means this judge in Missouri is going nuts. Hey, NCAA,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: get bent.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: He can play.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's a tiger always a tiger? I'm just saying
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: all this infighting going on in the SEC, if a
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: guy went to training camp with a team, got a
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: little bit of bread, is that any different than going
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: to a mini camper? I mean, what are we doing here, man?
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, I got this one for you.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, it is week one college football.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Better than week zero because everybody's into it this week.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: And this is where I have to make sure I
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: have to set the table. I'm going to be in
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: the mountains with the boys. We're going to sit down.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: We're going to watch college football all day Saturday.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: You're going to the mountains?
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: I'm going to the mountains for the first time in
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: a long time.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: You never go to the mountains.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I know, but I'm going with all my high school buddies.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: We're going to climb a 14. So anyway, I'm going
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: to watch college football. That sounds really lame. Maybe for
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: you because you couldn't make it, but I'm doing it.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Here's the deal. I need to know where these games
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: are going to be located beforehand. I need to prepare.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Like what channel are they on, right? Prepare yourself, folks.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: I don't want you to be put in that position
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: where you're looking for a game, you can't find it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: So Wyoming CSU on Saturday, the border war, 4 o'clock.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: It's on the USA channel. Where the hell is that again?
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: On DirecTV's channel 242.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: You know what that is? USA? Yeah. So when did
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: the USA channel carry college football? Has that been a
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: thing or am I missing this?
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: It feels like that's new. Because they're in the TBS family, right?
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Is that what that is? I don't know. So it's
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: like a TNT, TBS thing?
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: USA carried Game 7 of the Stars and Avs playoff
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: series in the bubble. And I remember that game was
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: at like 1 p.m.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: On a Friday, and it was on USA.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: And so I'll never forget, it brought up the closing
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: credits of Law & Order SVU.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: It said.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Executive producer Dick Wolf, and then the Avs played a
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: game seven. It was one of the craziest things I've
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: ever seen.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: What do you want me to do here?
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: You don't know the Law & Order theme song?
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what it is, but what do you
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: want me to do?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I want you to participate in doing the.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: That's Law & Order.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: It's fun to do.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Do you also recall that game?
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: It's that and this one.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Are you drunk today? You must be. Are you guys drinking?
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: If you recall that same day at 1 o'clock, what
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: transpired that same day?
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: What the holy... Oh, God. Was that the day?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Mosier.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Was that it?
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: That was the day.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, God bless you.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Here's one.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: Robert.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Hang on a second. Robert Sala coaches which team now?
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: He's an assistant coach.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: He's the head coach of the... Is it Atlanta? The Titans, right?
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: The Titans?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: The Tennessee Titans. Wait a minute. Who's the Falcons coach, Vic?
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Who's that again?
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Don't you look at anything. I'm not.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Come on, boys.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Come on, boys. It's the former. No, I know. I
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: know who it is.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's him.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: He was formerly the coach of, and he just moved down.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Jeff.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: It's not Jeff. No. No, no, no.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: It's Kirk. No, it's not.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: No, it's not. Kent.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: You shut up.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Kent.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Close.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Not Kent to Colby. It's the former coach of the
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: It's the guy. That guy.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski. Kevin Stefanski.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: We win the feud.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Robert Sala.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: 200 right there, Vic.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: 200.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Bing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: We win.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Robert Sala, who coaches the Titans, said this. And how's
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: this for a bold statement? Talking about Cam Ward. That
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: kid's not going to fail. I put my job on that. Hey, guys.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I said to my wife. I said to her the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: other day. I will not cheat on you. I put
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: my marriage on it. If he fails, yeah, you're losing
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: your job. That's the whole point. You get brought in
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: to fix, well, I don't know if it's fix, but
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to hone the skills of Cam Ward. It's not as
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: big of a quote as he made it seem.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: My question remains, the way Stefanski navigated that whole Cleveland
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: thing with the quarterback situation there, why did Atlanta think,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, Yeah, we need some of this.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Well, now he's got himself a Tua and appendix problem. Hey,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: but hang on a second. Oh, by the way, you're
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: telling me you're going leaf peeping this weekend on week
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: one of college football?
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: No, I don't care about the leaves. I'm exercising.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: You know what? I swear to God, dude, if I
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: even catch you looking at a leaf... I won't even look.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: I'll wear my blinders. Okay. Moshe, Moshe, the only reason
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: I'm doing this trip is to exercise. You know it,
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: and I know it.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: You sound like a liar. Oh, Brent, he's going to
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: go to the mountains and hike a 14er with his buddies.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Moshe, and if you don't think I'm going to be
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: first to the top. Okay.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: He's going to go hike a 14er with his buddies
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: in the mountains, but he's not going to look at
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: one leaf. Take a lap.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going to look at the path in front of me,
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to go hard. I'm going to go
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: rock hard up that mountain.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, one last thing here. Did you guys see on
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: the quest, my quest for the Rockies not to lose
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: 100 games, they were this close to sweeping the Baltimore
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Orioles over the weekend, if not for a robbed home
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: run in game one of that series. Did you guys
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: see how they won yesterday? And this is something I
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: give the Rocks credit for, for a bad baseball team.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: The Rocks don't quit. They will fight to the very
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: end of the game. They're down 3-2 with two outs
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: in the bottom of the ninth. Zach Veen rips a
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: double into right center, ties the game up, sends it
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: to extras.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It was the dying quail that did it for them.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: It was the dying quail to.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: They held the O's, did nothing in the top of
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: the 10th. They didn't capitalize the bottom of the 10th.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: So they go into the 11th, the O's scratch two across.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh God, this is over. Little fish shot
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: into left field from TJ Rumfield. Makes it 5-4. Runners
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: on second and third, two outs. And a similar type
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: of hit, just a blooper over short.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: A little dying quail.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Bring the boys around. The Rocks get another win.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: They are now at the record of 54-86. They need
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: to go 9-13 the rest of the way to not
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: lose 100 games.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, Our boy Mike Sanford
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: is on really good pace for this.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Really good. Man, if he does this, you realize we're
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: going to have to burn him at the stake, right?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: You realize that.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: We may have to. Carlos writes in on the text line,
• 43:43
