- 1:01Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford has just thrown his fourth touchdown pass tonight.
- 1:04Speaker 2: And let me just tell you this, we are in
- 1:06Speaker 2: California tonight. If I continue to smell what I'm smelling
- 1:10Speaker 2: from the crowd, I'm going to be hunting some scotcharoos
- 1:14Speaker 2: later in this broadcast. If you know what I mean,
- 1:17Speaker 2: here comes the kickoff.
- 1:19Speaker 3: The munchies? Wow. I mean, like, we.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Need ventilation, or this call is going to get a
- 1:26Speaker 2: little distorted here in the final stages of this game.
- 1:34Speaker 6: That's what you heard last night on Altitude Sports Radio.
- 1:36Speaker 6: If you guys missed it, Kevin Harlan on the call,
- 1:38Speaker 6: Westwood One.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Bro, can I just stop you there?
- 1:43Speaker 5: We did the postgame show, Mile High Postgame Live, right
- 1:46Speaker 5: after the game, obviously, right in front of the stadium.
- 1:49Speaker 5: We were on the north end. I did not think
- 1:52Speaker 5: I'd be able to continue the postgame show.
- 1:56Speaker 3: That much? It was.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Listen, I smelled it, and I've I just don't like
- 2:05Speaker 3: the smell, first of all.
- 2:06Speaker 5: It was so intense post-game on Sunday that I believed
- 2:13Speaker 5: every single person walking out of that stadium was smoking,
- 2:18Speaker 5: including old grandmothers.
- 2:20Speaker 6: You know, I was just talking to Nelly about this
- 2:22Speaker 6: in the appetizer because I heard Harlan say that, and
- 2:25Speaker 6: I was like, man, we've just gotten really accepting of
- 2:27Speaker 6: just you can smell weed kind of wherever you go now.
- 2:31Speaker 6: I thought to myself, if that guy was smoking a
- 2:34Speaker 6: cigarette underneath Kevin Harlan, that guy's escorted immediately out of
- 2:37Speaker 6: the stadium.
- 2:37Speaker 3: If it was a cigar or a cigarette, he'd be attacked.
- 2:40Speaker 5: But for some reason, we allow weed to just go
- 2:44Speaker 5: by with no care in the world.
- 2:46Speaker 6: Well, and I was asking, I think, I was just
- 2:48Speaker 6: talking about this with Moshe, too. Like, I think I'm 36,
- 2:52Speaker 6: 37 in a couple months. I think my age is
- 2:56Speaker 6: the last one that remembers smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants.
- 3:00Speaker 6: I distinctly remember that. And all of that is gone.
- 3:05Speaker 6: And now if you have a cigarette anywhere outside of
- 3:08Speaker 6: like an alleyway 50 yards away from somebody, you are
- 3:11Speaker 6: going to be pummeled with rocks.
- 3:12Speaker 2: We need ventilation.
- 3:15Speaker 6: But watching that game last night, guys, that's the team
- 3:18Speaker 6: that you're going to play this weekend. And it's kind
- 3:21Speaker 6: of what we expected the Rams to look like, which
- 3:23Speaker 6: is a very, very good football team with a lot
- 3:25Speaker 6: of talent. We all kind of felt week one Australia game.
- 3:32Speaker 6: There's a lot of moving parts to that and why
- 3:34Speaker 6: they might not have looked great. But Devontae Adams was
- 3:41Speaker 6: out there as the number one wide receiver because there
- 3:42Speaker 6: was no Puka Nakua.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And had a billion yards last night. I mean, a billion.
- 3:48Speaker 6: He's almost 34 years old, and that guy still looks awesome,
- 3:52Speaker 6: even when he's the number one dude out there.
- 3:53Speaker 3: He's not quite as fast as he used to be.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Not quite as fast. But his hands, man. His hands
- 3:58Speaker 3: are so dang good.
- 3:59Speaker 5: That catch he made over the middle of the field
- 4:01Speaker 5: when he went way up high and got it and
- 4:03Speaker 5: then continued in stride did not break stride.
- 4:07Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing to watch.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Look, Stafford's been in the league for 16, 17, 18 years,
- 4:12Speaker 6: whatever the number is.
- 4:16Speaker 3: He's got this ability. Did you guys notice?
- 4:18Speaker 6: This happened like five different occasions last night.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Takes a snap. Play action.
- 4:23Speaker 6: And as he's turning to look at the field, he's
- 4:26Speaker 6: already like. in his throwing motion. He's like, I just
- 4:30Speaker 6: know where my guy's going to be, and it must
- 4:32Speaker 6: be by the setup of the defense. I know this
- 4:34Speaker 6: throw's going to be wide open. Plants his foot, throws
- 4:37Speaker 6: it right on target, right on the money. It's incredible
- 4:39Speaker 6: to watch that offense when they are rolling at peak form.
- 4:43Speaker 3: He's one of the best throwers of the football in
- 4:45Speaker 3: the history of the game, I would say. I mean,
- 4:47Speaker 3: he just... He.
- 4:49Speaker 6: His ball never wobbles. It's a perfect spiral every time
- 4:53Speaker 6: he lets it go.
- 4:53Speaker 3: It's a P-missile. Yes. No, he's just an unbelievably good
- 4:58Speaker 3: thrower of the football. I remember watching the old Lions games.
- 5:02Speaker 3: And I would think to myself, why can't this team win?
- 5:05Speaker 3: With this guy throwing the pig. Great question. Why can't,
- 5:10Speaker 3: why do year after year after year, they put junk
- 5:13Speaker 3: around him for the most part, especially on the other
- 5:16Speaker 3: side of the football. Yeah. Anyway, he's still elite, obviously.
- 5:20Speaker 3: And I don't know what the story is with Puka Nikuovic.
- 5:22Speaker 3: I've been kind of reading up on him. He's got
- 5:24Speaker 3: this groin slash hip slash, I don't know what it is,
- 5:27Speaker 3: but it's in that region. And I guess he bumped
- 5:32Speaker 3: it during training camp. It was kind of wonky then,
- 5:35Speaker 3: and he was trending down this week, so they decided
- 5:38Speaker 3: to hold him out. Because if you throw Puka Nakua
- 5:41Speaker 3: back in with what we saw last night... Well, we
- 5:45Speaker 3: know their offense, man. It's unbelievably good, yeah.
- 5:48Speaker 6: Even the running backs, I've always had this crush on
- 5:50Speaker 6: Kyron Williams.
- 5:51Speaker 3: They run hard.
- 5:51Speaker 6: Kyron Williams is such a fun back to watch because
- 5:54Speaker 6: he does everything. He'll step up and pass pro, catch
- 5:57Speaker 6: balls out of the backfield. But yeah, Blake Corum too.
- 6:00Speaker 6: It's a really good one-two punch. Look, they just have,
- 6:03Speaker 6: they kind of have everything. That's why everybody expected them
- 6:06Speaker 6: to be the Super Bowl favorites moving in here. Even
- 6:08Speaker 6: without Miles Garrett. Now, the sad part is, I didn't
- 6:14Speaker 6: think the Giants were as good as they showed in
- 6:17Speaker 6: week one. I thought maybe that's like the peak of
- 6:20Speaker 6: their powers of how well they can play.
- 6:22Speaker 3: But then they lose Dart. But then they lost Dart,
- 6:24Speaker 3: so it's hard to tell. And that hit.
- 6:27Speaker 6: Man, that's a weird one, because he gets sort of
- 6:29Speaker 6: high load, and it looked like his knee had whiplash horizontally.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Well, it's because the toe, Vic, was still planted as
- 6:38Speaker 3: the guy came in from the side, and so it
- 6:40Speaker 3: does that outside-in thing. I've just seen that so many
- 6:45Speaker 3: times where the knees explode. Apparently, it's a strained MCL.
- 6:49Speaker 3: It's not a torn MCL, sprained, strained, whatever you want
- 6:54Speaker 3: to call it, so... He's not going to be out
- 6:56Speaker 3: that long, but it's not season, you know, but he's
- 6:59Speaker 3: going to be out a little while. This was a
- 7:00Speaker 3: bad weekend for starting quarterbacks. No kidding. Horrible weekend. Speaking of,
- 7:05Speaker 3: did you see the latest from Chicago? Caleb? Yeah, dude.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I guess surgery today, he's going to, it's going to
- 7:12Speaker 3: be amputated. Okay, you're being. From the hip down. Yeah.
- 7:16Speaker 3: You know what? I'm really, I mean, I feel so
- 7:20Speaker 3: bad for the guy. I hate to do this.
- 7:23Speaker 6: But I'm going to sound like a barbarian and a
- 7:27Speaker 6: jerk and all this stuff. You cannot get carted off
- 7:29Speaker 6: for a grade one hamstring.
- 7:31Speaker 3: You can't. You can't do it. I had a grade
- 7:33Speaker 3: one when I was hammered in Vail. I had one.
- 7:38Speaker 6: And I walked myself back to the Airbnb and went
- 7:42Speaker 6: to sleep.
- 7:42Speaker 3: It kept drinking, actually. Did they bring a cart out
- 7:45Speaker 3: and you just started waving at random passersby?
- 7:48Speaker 6: It's the only thing I can think of, Vic, is like,
- 7:50Speaker 6: I had one of those as a hammered non-athlete in Vail,
- 7:55Speaker 6: and I walked the rest of the trip.
- 7:58Speaker 3: It hurt.
- 7:59Speaker 6: It didn't feel great, but I did it. You cannot
- 8:03Speaker 6: get carted off like that.
- 8:05Speaker 3: And cry and put a towel over your head. Yeah.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Give thumbs up like, oh my God, I just lost
- 8:11Speaker 3: my foot, but I'll be okay. You know, Vic, listen.
- 8:15Speaker 3: The one thing I'm very thankful for with all of that,
- 8:19Speaker 3: the shenanigans of the cart and the whole nine yards,
- 8:22Speaker 3: is that the memes that came out yesterday were spectacular.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Oh my God, they were so good. Absolutely amazing. Brilliant
- 8:28Speaker 3: people in this world. Which one's your favorite? Because I
- 8:30Speaker 3: have one that was bar none my favorite. I think
- 8:33Speaker 3: the one where me sleeping on the hospital couch when
- 8:38Speaker 3: my wife gives birth.
- 8:39Speaker 6: Me sleeping on the uncomfortable couch while my wife's in labor.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Dude, I'm telling you, man. There were some
- 8:49Speaker 3: really good ones, man.
- 8:50Speaker 5: People already checking his tolerance for pain.
- 8:56Speaker 3: Vic.
- 8:58Speaker 6: If he ever goes down and needs medical attention again,
- 9:01Speaker 6: you're going to be thinking to yourself, how bad is
- 9:05Speaker 6: this that I'm watching?
- 9:06Speaker 5: Okay, I'll give you an example that happened in Denver.
- 9:10Speaker 3: What man do you fear most? You fear a man
- 9:12Speaker 3: by his voice. What man is that? Garrett Bowles. Garrett
- 9:15Speaker 3: Bowles did something very similar. He did?
- 9:18Speaker 5: He was carted off, he was crying, and he was
- 9:22Speaker 5: exhorting the crowd. And then he came right back.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Okay, so.
- 9:27Speaker 6: True, there's, I guarantee you, his offensive line room has
- 9:33Speaker 6: not stopped letting him hear about that, one.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Two, it's different when you're the QB. That, Chicago. No,
- 9:42Speaker 3: I disagree.
- 9:43Speaker 6: Chicago stopped talking, they stopped breathing in that stadium when
- 9:48Speaker 6: they saw him on the ground like that.
- 9:50Speaker 3: They thought their season was over. Yeah. Do you think
- 9:54Speaker 3: he was reveling in the drama? Yeah, he seems like
- 9:57Speaker 3: kind of a drama queen. I mean, look, I'm not.
- 10:00Speaker 3: here to cast aspersions on anybody or anything like that.
- 10:02Speaker 3: That's exactly what you're doing with the following statement. No,
- 10:08Speaker 3: I'm not going to say anything because I don't want
- 10:09Speaker 3: to get my... No, I'll say it. He's dramatic. Yes,
- 10:13Speaker 3: of course he is. Of course he is. I mean, look...
- 10:17Speaker 3: He does things for attention and for effect. That's why
- 10:19Speaker 3: he paints his fingernails before every football game. Look, man.
- 10:23Speaker 3: He wears nail polish for attention and for effect. And
- 10:26Speaker 3: so I take everything he does. He's a showman. He's
- 10:29Speaker 3: a showman. And he's also a damn good quarterback. He is.
- 10:32Speaker 3: And he's fun to watch. He's amazing to watch. So
- 10:35Speaker 3: don't get me wrong here. But, Vic, I mean, you can't.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Go through those histrionics for a grade one. You can't
- 10:43Speaker 3: do it. You can't.
- 10:45Speaker 6: And even, let me, how about this? Hall Pierce is
- 10:49Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame basketball player and a champion. But
- 10:52Speaker 6: we remember him getting carried by four different trainers to
- 10:56Speaker 6: the locker room when he might have pooped his pants.
- 10:58Speaker 3: He pooped his pants. Yes. We all remember it. It's
- 11:02Speaker 3: just going to be part of your thing now. Okay?
- 11:04Speaker 3: It's part of it.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Now, can I say something else? I got a trivia
- 11:08Speaker 6: question for you guys. Jalen Waddell had 138 receiving yards.
- 11:12Speaker 6: How many Broncos since 2019 have done that? Had over
- 11:15Speaker 6: 130 receiving yards.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Since 2019. I'm sure Cortland had a game in there.
- 11:19Speaker 3: It's got to be. Yeah, it's probably one. I'll say one.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Cortland's got to be in there. He's got to be.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Cortland had one.
- 11:28Speaker 6: Came in 2021 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Is that the answer?
- 11:33Speaker 5: One?
- 11:34Speaker 3: No, Jerry Judy also did it once. Oh, you're kidding.
- 11:36Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. Judy did it twice, actually. She did.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Two times. I went back and looked. It's all over now.
- 11:43Speaker 5: That play where I believed a defender fell down, a
- 11:47Speaker 5: defender from Jacksonville, I.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Thought he slipped on the sideline. Did you see the
- 11:52Speaker 3: juke move that Waddle put on him? Yeah, that wasn't...
- 11:55Speaker 3: He didn't fall. Oh, no, he got juked out of
- 11:57Speaker 3: his pants.
- 11:58Speaker 6: Jalen Waddle made him fall.
- 12:00Speaker 3: Yeah. That's why I said... When you watch the catch,
- 12:06Speaker 3: there's no Jaguars on the screen. I mean, they physically
- 12:10Speaker 3: can't find a Jaguar, right, until he's laying on the
- 12:14Speaker 3: ground giving himself up and you have like two guys
- 12:16Speaker 3: come over and touch him. It's amazing. Simply amazing.
- 12:19Speaker 5: I did a speaking engagement last night. We had a
- 12:22Speaker 5: golf tournament for the Evans Scholars Foundation, a wonderful organization,
- 12:27Speaker 5: supplies full-ride scholarships.
- 12:28Speaker 3: To young caddies.
- 12:30Speaker 5: And the featured speaker was Greg Penner. And he was asked,
- 12:34Speaker 5: you know, about the team, obviously. And Greg could not
- 12:37Speaker 5: stop gushing about Jalen Waddell. As an owner, he's immensely
- 12:43Speaker 5: proud of the addition of this player and how it changes.
- 12:46Speaker 5: And he said it, Greg said it, that Broncos, under
- 12:49Speaker 5: his watch, have never had an offensive playmaker like this.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:54Speaker 4: Ever.
- 12:54Speaker 3: This is the first.
- 12:56Speaker 6: Yeah, Nelly, throw that up behind me. You're making that
- 12:58Speaker 6: stank face. Let everybody else see it. This is what
- 13:00Speaker 6: Vic's talking about, by the way. So that's Jalen Waddell.
- 13:03Speaker 6: This is him. You're forcing a man to touch the earth, okay?
- 13:08Speaker 6: Just a little stutter step.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Ankles. Bust the ankles. Ankles. There's no wide receiver that
- 13:17Speaker 3: has been able to do that. That here in years. Oh,
- 13:22Speaker 3: did you see that, though, on his pattern? He sort
- 13:25Speaker 3: of rounded it off before the snap. Little round off
- 13:28Speaker 3: before the snap. That's not legal. I know, but in
- 13:32Speaker 3: his motion, he just sort of rounded. Shh, shh, shh.
- 13:37Speaker 3: You don't got to mention these things. Oh, he was fine.
- 13:42Speaker 3: It was close.
- 13:43Speaker 6: Please.
- 13:43Speaker 3: It was close. But hey, it doesn't matter anyway. That
- 13:45Speaker 3: drive was the game-sealing drive, and it was a great drive.
- 13:48Speaker 3: And this guy went into the earth. Yeah, this guy
- 13:51Speaker 3: just ate Mother Earth.
- 13:54Speaker 6: Fall's officially here, and there's no better place to celebrate
- 13:56Speaker 6: than Anderson Farms. Get lost in the 25-acre corn maze,
- 13:59Speaker 6: visit the pumpkin patch, and enjoy a full day of

- 14:14Speaker 6: to 303-504-0925 and your first and last name.
- 14:17Speaker 3: AUTUMN. Help me out. Max, text in here. Bad takes, boys.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Bad takes. He got hurt with the opportunity to win
- 14:23Speaker 3: the game. I'm assuming he's talking about Caleb Williams. Is
- 14:26Speaker 3: that correct? Yeah. Okay. And? It was a grade one hammy.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Here's the thing, man. I heard all these Chicago Bears
- 14:37Speaker 3: fans defending this yesterday. I'm going to defend this much.
- 14:41Speaker 5: If you've never, ever in your life suffered a hamstring strain,
- 14:46Speaker 5: The first time it happens, whether it's 1, 2, 3,
- 14:49Speaker 5: or 20, it is a jolting sensation that you don't
- 14:53Speaker 5: know what's going on.
- 14:53Speaker 3: That is true. So I'm going to give him grace. Yeah, well, okay.
- 15:02Speaker 3: We'll get back to this later. 303-504-0925.
- 15:03Speaker 6: We'll get back to it later. Adam Schefter, 920 this morning.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Stick around. You want to try it, Vic? You can
- 15:12Speaker 3: go ahead and try it if you want to.
- 15:15Speaker 6: Huh?
- 15:15Speaker 3: Moshe Lombardi and Kane here Tuesday morning. Vic's right there.
- 15:18Speaker 3: I'm right here, Nelly. Back behind the glass. Brett's nowhere
- 15:20Speaker 3: to be found. I don't know what he's doing. Talkin'
- 15:24Speaker 3: to Broncos football today. Don't forget Adam Schefter coming up
- 15:26Speaker 3: today on the program at 9.20. So make sure you
- 15:30Speaker 3: tune in. Would you like to do your job or
- 15:32Speaker 3: do you want to just drink coffee all morning long? Moshe,
- 15:35Speaker 3: I know it's Tuesday.
- 15:38Speaker 5: This Sunday nighter, they're calling it many different monikers, but
- 15:42Speaker 5: this Sunday nighter, Between the Rams and Broncos is going
- 15:46Speaker 5: to be, what do the kids say?
- 15:49Speaker 3: Lit. Totally lit. I don't think they say that anymore. Okay,
- 15:53Speaker 3: what's the new one now? What do the kids say?
- 15:55Speaker 3: Let's get lit!
- 15:59Speaker 5: All right, kids, kids out there, what are the kids
- 16:02Speaker 5: saying now? What word are you using to describe the
- 16:06Speaker 5: scene Sunday night?
- 16:07Speaker 3: That's a great question. This game will be aura-maxing.
- 16:11Speaker 5: I think that's even old school. compared to what they're
- 16:15Speaker 5: using today. Moshe, what did you use in your day
- 16:20Speaker 5: that you continue to use even today?
- 16:22Speaker 7: Rad.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Rad. I knew that was coming out. This game will
- 16:25Speaker 3: be rad. It will be rad. You realize the Rams
- 16:28Speaker 3: are a favorite coming in here? Does that surprise you? Yeah,
- 16:32Speaker 3: it does surprise me a little bit. The Broncos, well, look,
- 16:35Speaker 3: the whole field advantage. You get so stuck on these.
- 16:38Speaker 3: I mean, it's funny. Well, it's frigging disrespectful, right? The
- 16:42Speaker 3: betting public is disrespectful to the Denver Broncos, and I
- 16:45Speaker 3: don't like it. Moj. What?
- 16:47Speaker 6: The LA Rams are the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
- 16:51Speaker 6: Why would it be disrespectful if the favorites to win
- 16:54Speaker 6: the Super Bowl are favored in a single game?
- 16:56Speaker 3: Because this team, they have the same record. This team's
- 16:58Speaker 3: coming off a dub, and they went to the AFC
- 17:01Speaker 3: title game last year. They got as far as the
- 17:03Speaker 3: Rams did. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And Pukunukua may not play. I mean,
- 17:10Speaker 3: who knows? Either way. Okay, so are you saying the
- 17:12Speaker 3: Broncos win this game? I'll let you know on Friday.
- 17:18Speaker 3: The fact that you hesitated that much kind of proves
- 17:21Speaker 3: the point. Well, I just think it's disrespectful. That's all.
- 17:23Speaker 3: I gave you last week. Broncos is a home dog.
- 17:26Speaker 3: I don't bet. But the Broncos is a home dog.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Sounds pretty good. That's just me. I gave you Broncos
- 17:33Speaker 3: over Jags last Tuesday. He did. You did.
- 17:38Speaker 6: It was one of those things where Vic didn't talk
- 17:40Speaker 6: for five minutes, and then he just.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Goes, 24-14. No, I said 24-21. Whatever. Did you focus
- 17:46Speaker 3: at all on Aaron Donald last night? Did you try
- 17:48Speaker 3: to keep your eye on him? Yeah. He didn't look
- 17:51Speaker 3: like his old self. Oh, he had that big stuff
- 17:54Speaker 3: at the goal line. Yeah. I like those unis, by
- 17:58Speaker 3: the way. I like those unis, too. Yeah. Did you
- 18:01Speaker 3: hear me? You know me. I'm a laundry guy. So
- 18:03Speaker 3: when I saw them run out with the yellow jerseys on,
- 18:06Speaker 3: I'm like, Looks pretty sharp.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Hard to decipher between the unis and the flags, but
- 18:10Speaker 5: did you hear McVay after the game discuss the opener
- 18:15Speaker 5: in Australia? Do you have that, Nelly? I sent it
- 18:17Speaker 5: to the, yeah, he's going to pull it up right now.
- 18:20Speaker 5: And I thought it was very, well, he admitted as
- 18:23Speaker 5: much when you listen to this soundbite, what went wrong
- 18:27Speaker 5: week one in Australia. We saw a lot of wrong.
- 18:31Speaker 5: And that's why it's hard to trust week one in
- 18:33Speaker 5: the NFL because teams do certain things. And this is
- 18:37Speaker 5: what McVay said after the game last night.
- 18:40Speaker 3: I think, you know, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
- 18:44Speaker 1: And, you know, sometimes you.
- 18:45Speaker 6: Have a dumbass coach that, you know, makes travel plans
- 18:47Speaker 6: that put.
- 18:48Speaker 3: You in a bad spot. There you go. So that's McVay.
- 18:54Speaker 3: So he's blaming it on the travel. That's what he's saying.
- 18:56Speaker 5: Yeah, he said that was a bad move on our
- 18:59Speaker 5: part going in hours before kickoff.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Well, dude, I still go back.
- 19:05Speaker 6: I saw the picture of, there was a picture that
- 19:07Speaker 6: was taken of Stafford and McVay standing next to each other,
- 19:09Speaker 6: just getting off the flight.
- 19:12Speaker 3: And they looked like death. Yeah. They looked like, oh,
- 19:17Speaker 3: what have.
- 19:17Speaker 6: We done to ourselves? Like, it really had that feeling
- 19:20Speaker 6: towards it.
- 19:21Speaker 5: I'm not going to call it similar, but in the NHL,
- 19:25Speaker 5: because they're required to take Christmas off, cannot play at Christmas,
- 19:29Speaker 5: You guys have to travel day of sometimes into these
- 19:33Speaker 5: cities to play games.
- 19:34Speaker 3: That is correct. What impact does it have on the
- 19:37Speaker 3: hockey team when you do that? You leave in the morning.
- 19:41Speaker 3: You go to the hotel. You have a hotel for
- 19:46Speaker 3: like just five hours. You go to the hotel. So
- 19:49Speaker 3: what you try to do is pretend that you're getting
- 19:51Speaker 3: back from morning skate so the guys can get to
- 19:54Speaker 3: that routine the best you possibly can. So you go
- 19:57Speaker 3: to the hotel. You take a nap, ski. Like yesterday, though,
- 20:00Speaker 3: for the preseason, the Avalanche flew to Winnipeg. They went
- 20:03Speaker 3: straight to the rink, did their stuff, and then flew
- 20:06Speaker 3: straight home. I mean, thank God. Thank God we're not
- 20:09Speaker 3: doing that again, personally, because it's a pain in the tail.
- 20:11Speaker 3: But during the regular season, Vic, you go and you
- 20:14Speaker 3: get in the hotel and then you get on the
- 20:17Speaker 3: bus and you go to the rink and so on
- 20:19Speaker 3: and so forth. And I think they're doing away with
- 20:20Speaker 3: that now, I think, because they've moved the Christmas break
- 20:24Speaker 3: up one day. You're now allowed to travel on the 26th,
- 20:26Speaker 3: I think. Connor would know. I think it's something like that.
- 20:31Speaker 3: But I think those days are probably behind us. The
- 20:35Speaker 3: Christmas thing where you fly– because typically the Avs always
- 20:38Speaker 3: play on the damn 27th, and you've got to fly
- 20:42Speaker 3: out the morning of the game.
- 20:43Speaker 5: And no point did you answer my question after a
- 20:45Speaker 5: minute of straight talking. I said, what impact does it
- 20:49Speaker 5: have on the Avs when you go down?
- 20:52Speaker 3: I don't think a ton because you get to the
- 20:54Speaker 3: hotel like you were there after– I'm trying to explain.
- 20:57Speaker 3: You're there like after morning skate, and then– Well, I mean,
- 21:01Speaker 3: it's got to have some impact. I just don't know
- 21:03Speaker 3: if it's like going to Australia.
- 21:06Speaker 6: Here's one thing that I was keeping an eye on.
- 21:10Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you.
- 21:11Speaker 6: Looking ahead to this matchup against the Rams, which is
- 21:13Speaker 6: going to be, it's a huge one. I mean, this
- 21:16Speaker 6: is potentially the best team in the NFL that's going
- 21:18Speaker 6: to come to town.
- 21:20Speaker 3: I don't know about you guys and where you're at.
- 21:23Speaker 6: Even with how potent the Rams are on offense, I
- 21:27Speaker 6: think the Broncos defense will be able to hold them
- 21:29Speaker 6: in check. One thing that has stayed tried and true
- 21:31Speaker 6: through two straight weeks is your past defense has been excellent.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Your secondary has played great. That is going to keep
- 21:38Speaker 6: them at least at bay. Doesn't mean you'll hold them
- 21:39Speaker 6: to 13 points, but it does mean that you will
- 21:42Speaker 6: have them within striking distance if your offense gets the
- 21:44Speaker 6: job done, which means what is your offense going to
- 21:48Speaker 6: look like against that defense? And I'll tell you this.
- 21:51Speaker 6: No Miles Garrett for the Rams last night. Byron Young
- 21:54Speaker 6: made the entire Giants offensive line look like a turnstile. Like,
- 21:58Speaker 6: if he wanted to get in the backfield, he was
- 21:59Speaker 6: in the backfield. Three quarterback hits last night. He is very,
- 22:03Speaker 6: very good. I think the impact of having just Aaron
- 22:05Speaker 6: Donald's presence there maybe gave the Giants some pause.
- 22:09Speaker 3: That's what I was looking at last night a lot, Vic, Brett,
- 22:13Speaker 3: is just having him in the middle, mucking things up,
- 22:17Speaker 3: and the attention that the offensive line has to give him. Yeah.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Opens things up. Opens it up for young. It absolutely does.
- 22:23Speaker 3: For young. Now, here's the other thing.
- 22:26Speaker 6: Their secondary is so much more improved. I know it's
- 22:30Speaker 6: hard to get a read on it because they played
- 22:31Speaker 6: against Jameis Winston for most of the game yesterday. But
- 22:34Speaker 6: they got two guys in their secondary. Trent McDuffie has,
- 22:38Speaker 6: I think, six PBUs in the first two weeks as
- 22:42Speaker 6: well as their safety, Quinton Lake. Those guys are really
- 22:48Speaker 6: sticky in coverage. He can get hands on footballs. And
- 22:51Speaker 6: this is a game in which I think that Bo
- 22:53Speaker 6: Nix is going to have to make some tight window throws,
- 22:56Speaker 6: which has been a problem over the course of his career.
- 23:00Speaker 6: Even a willingness to attempt the throw has.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Been an issue. And that's what you saw Stafford do
- 23:06Speaker 3: last night.
- 23:07Speaker 5: Stafford would make throws in windows that you're like, you
- 23:10Speaker 5: can't throw it there.
- 23:11Speaker 3: He just did.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Hey, let me ask you guys this, because we don't
- 23:13Speaker 5: know the status of Puka Nakua yet for Sunday night.
- 23:16Speaker 3: But let's say he does play. And the Broncos don't
- 23:20Speaker 3: always just go single one-on-one. They'll move guys around.
- 23:23Speaker 5: Who would you put on Nakua versus Devontae Adams? Do
- 23:25Speaker 5: you put Patrick Sertan on Adams?
- 23:32Speaker 3: I don't know. Do they make Sertan shadow? I think
- 23:35Speaker 3: they just play their sides. They move him around a
- 23:37Speaker 3: little bit. But if you had to make that call.
- 23:41Speaker 3: If I had to make the call, I would put, well,
- 23:44Speaker 3: you got to assume, are we assuming that Nakua's healthy? Yeah.
- 23:49Speaker 3: I'm okay, but no, I'm saying, just because he plays
- 23:52Speaker 3: doesn't mean he's going to be the same Puka. He's
- 23:54Speaker 3: got this groin slash, hip slash. Just pretend he's Puka. Okay.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Just play pretend here. Then put Sertan on Puka. I
- 24:01Speaker 3: would think so. Well. Okay. Okay. I would. Riley Moss. Listen,
- 24:09Speaker 3: Riley Moss can run with Devontae. He can. Riley Moss,
- 24:13Speaker 3: I thought he was incredible the other day. I thought
- 24:15Speaker 3: he was terrific. I thought he had a great game.
- 24:16Speaker 3: He can run with Devontae Adams.
- 24:18Speaker 6: You're talking about a physicality thing, though, Vic. I know
- 24:20Speaker 6: what you're talking about. Devontae Adams is huge. Sertan is huge.
- 24:25Speaker 6: And maybe the worry is if you're having one-on-one contested
- 24:29Speaker 6: balls between Devontae and Riley Moss, does it get a
- 24:31Speaker 6: little handsy?
- 24:32Speaker 3: Puka's not exactly small, either. No, he's not. He's a
- 24:37Speaker 3: big dude. But Devontae's big, big. That is going to
- 24:41Speaker 3: be a fun game. Devontae's thick. He's a little bit thick. Vic,
- 24:45Speaker 3: when you're talking about the throw that Stafford made, the
- 24:49Speaker 3: one you talked about with Devontae going up with the touchdown.
- 24:52Speaker 3: He had to throw it over a corner. Well, he
- 24:54Speaker 3: threw it, yeah. It was over a guy inside. It
- 24:57Speaker 3: was a pretty damn good throw, but you're looking at
- 25:00Speaker 3: Stafford and the ability to thread the needle and find
- 25:02Speaker 3: these windows when these guys are streaking. It's a It's
- 25:05Speaker 3: a cool thing to have, man. It's going to be scary.
- 25:08Speaker 3: You know what it is, too? I'm not going to
- 25:11Speaker 3: call it arrogance.
- 25:12Speaker 5: It's supreme confidence is what that is. Like, yeah, I'm
- 25:15Speaker 5: going to throw it in that window. I'm not even
- 25:17Speaker 5: going to hesitate. And I think sometimes Bo hesitates.
- 25:22Speaker 6: Yeah, I got to find this clip. Orlovsky just had
- 25:28Speaker 6: a really good quote on guys like Stafford and their
- 25:32Speaker 6: willingness to throw a ball into, quote, trouble.
- 25:36Speaker 3: And it's basically, why did I make that throw? Because
- 25:39Speaker 3: I'm me. Yeah. That's why. Because I can do that.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Bo has adopted some qualities that Stafford possesses. The no-look passes.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Bo did a lot of those during the preseason.
- 25:51Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 25:52Speaker 3: I think the over-under on no-look Sunday night will be three.
- 25:56Speaker 3: Three no-looks. Could be. Could be. Is it a clip
- 26:00Speaker 3: from ESPN, Brett, or are you looking for Orlovsky? Yeah,
- 26:02Speaker 3: I'll find it. I'll find it.
- 26:03Speaker 5: All right.
- 26:05Speaker 6: But in the meantime, what's really crazy is when we
- 26:09Speaker 6: talk about, hey, gosh, the Broncos have 15 tight ends
- 26:14Speaker 6: in their room.
- 26:15Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
- 26:15Speaker 6: How many are they going to carry? Did you know
- 26:17Speaker 6: that the Rams carry five tight ends on their roster?
- 26:20Speaker 6: And four of them have catches this year. Four of them.
- 26:23Speaker 3: They're willing to throw it to any one.
- 26:24Speaker 6: Of those guys, whether it's Higby or Parkinson or Davis
- 26:28Speaker 6: Allen or whoever.
- 26:29Speaker 3: So Parkinson is an interesting guy. He's huge. Have you
- 26:37Speaker 3: looked at Colby Parkinson lately? This guy, I mean, tight end,
- 26:43Speaker 3: this guy could be a power forward in the NBA.
- 26:46Speaker 3: This guy's big. I don't know. It's just that that
- 26:49Speaker 3: offense presents so many problems. It's just going to be tough.
- 26:54Speaker 3: But you know what? The Broncos showed me something on Sunday.
- 26:59Speaker 3: One thing this team has, Vic, if anything on the
- 27:02Speaker 3: offensive side of the ball, they do have guts. And
- 27:04Speaker 3: they do have resiliency, and they do have the ability
- 27:08Speaker 3: to suck it up and to come together. That's a
- 27:12Speaker 3: good quality to have. We were talking to Ryan Harris
- 27:14Speaker 3: about that yesterday, and he said it's a good trait.
- 27:16Speaker 3: It's an excellent trait because if you do get in jams,
- 27:18Speaker 3: you're not always going to win. And I don't want
- 27:19Speaker 3: to walk that razor-thin wire again this year. But when
- 27:22Speaker 3: you've got that, you're going to give yourself an opportunity
- 27:25Speaker 3: should you, again, be crappy in the first half of
- 27:28Speaker 3: the game. Sean Payton said yesterday that it's possible you
- 27:32Speaker 3: see R.J.
- 27:33Speaker 5: Harvey.
- 27:34Speaker 3: And or J.K. Dobbins. Now, I would be shocked if J.K.
- 27:39Speaker 3: plays a week after any hammy. Well, he said I'm good.
- 27:42Speaker 3: He said I'm good.
- 27:43Speaker 5: You know, it may be one of those, hey, I've
- 27:44Speaker 5: made a promise I'm going to play. He may not
- 27:46Speaker 5: be good, but he's going to be good, if you
- 27:48Speaker 5: know what I mean.
- 27:49Speaker 6: Well, okay, I want to get to that in just
- 27:51Speaker 6: a second. I found the quote, though. So Orlovsky was
- 27:55Speaker 6: Stafford's backup in Detroit. They were watching film, and they
- 28:00Speaker 6: were playing the Cardinals. And he said, Stafford threw this
- 28:03Speaker 6: perfect high-velocity ball in a tiny window on a 20-yard
- 28:06Speaker 6: corner route between a safety and a corner. And Orlovsky
- 28:10Speaker 6: pointed the screen where the running back was. He was
- 28:12Speaker 6: all by himself underneath. Could have had a huge gain.
- 28:15Speaker 6: He goes, it's first down. Why won't you just take
- 28:17Speaker 6: the boring throw? Stafford said, because I can and you can't.
- 28:26Speaker 3: That's... He ain't wrong, but he ain't wrong. Of course.
- 28:31Speaker 3: He ain't wrong.
- 28:33Speaker 6: Here's the thing with the Dobbin stuff. And again, I
- 28:36Speaker 6: mentioned this in training camp.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Here's what I hate.
- 28:40Speaker 6: I hate when guys have injury problems because it's not
- 28:43Speaker 6: a fault of them.
- 28:45Speaker 3: It's nothing that they do. It's not a character flaw.
- 28:46Speaker 6: It's I feel for guys like Joel Embiid. I feel
- 28:49Speaker 6: for guys like Ben Simmons. Like it's not something that's
- 28:52Speaker 6: wrong with you. But Vic, when you're an athlete.
- 28:54Speaker 3: You have the same feeling about Aaron Gordon? Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
- 28:59Speaker 6: When these guys who have grown up in the I
- 29:03Speaker 6: gotta be the alpha, I gotta be the big dog
- 29:06Speaker 6: no matter what, when they hear the tag injury prone
- 29:10Speaker 6: attached to their name, in their head the translation is what?
- 29:14Speaker 3: Unreliable. You're soft. And that's not the case. That's not
- 29:18Speaker 3: what it is.
- 29:19Speaker 6: But I think a lot of this offseason with all
- 29:20Speaker 6: the stuff that J.K. Dobbins was saying about, I'm going
- 29:23Speaker 6: to be healthy every game this year.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I'm going to be in it.
- 29:26Speaker 6: I thought to myself, man, is he going to have
- 29:28Speaker 6: some sort of injury that maybe if he sat a
- 29:30Speaker 6: week or two weeks, he'd be fine? But there's a
- 29:33Speaker 6: big risk for him hurting himself further. And I feel
- 29:36Speaker 6: like it might be happening already.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Do you think J.K. Dobbins is soft?
- 29:41Speaker 5: No.
- 29:41Speaker 3: I don't think he's soft. One iota. I think he's
- 29:44Speaker 3: a tough son of a gun. But my question is,
- 29:47Speaker 3: and I guess I need a doctor. Hey, Vic, you're
- 29:50Speaker 3: not a medical doctor, right? I'm a spiritual doctor. I'm
- 29:53Speaker 3: a sports doctor. Emotional doctor. Then explain to me why
- 29:57Speaker 3: some guys' bodies... perpetually break down, even in different areas.
- 30:02Speaker 3: If you have one problem area, like this guy's had
- 30:05Speaker 3: a bad right shoulder for five years, and they just
- 30:07Speaker 3: can't seem to get it fixed and get it right
- 30:09Speaker 3: and so on and so on. MPJs back in the day,
- 30:12Speaker 3: that sort of thing. But why do some guys have
- 30:15Speaker 3: different parts of their body just let them down? What
- 30:18Speaker 3: is it about their body, their physical makeup, their chemistry
- 30:22Speaker 3: that has that happen, or is it just purely bad luck?
- 30:24Speaker 5: Not enough dunk hoops. If you play dunk hoops, you
- 30:27Speaker 5: don't get hurt. You go through all that junk. get
- 30:31Speaker 5: through all that injury experience, get it over with.
- 30:33Speaker 3: Aha. Okay, so if he just, instead of yoga in
- 30:36Speaker 3: the offseason, he did dunk hoops, he'd be fine right now. Yeah. Okay.
- 30:41Speaker 3: I just, I don't question his toughness at all, Brett.
- 30:43Speaker 3: I don't question his pain tolerance or anything like that
- 30:47Speaker 3: at all. I question why his poor body keeps letting
- 30:50Speaker 3: him down.
- 30:51Speaker 6: Well, if there's any solace to this, and look, it's
- 30:54Speaker 6: a very small sample size, but I do think that
- 30:58Speaker 6: the Broncos are much more well-equipped to handle non-JK Dobbins games, minutes, carries,
- 31:05Speaker 6: whatever with Jonah Coleman back there.
- 31:08Speaker 3: I do think that.
- 31:09Speaker 6: RJ Harvey's a good back, but he's a different back.
- 31:12Speaker 6: Jonah Coleman came in and he did the JK Dobbins thing.
- 31:15Speaker 6: Run between the tackles, get extra yards, move the chains,
- 31:19Speaker 6: all that stuff. And whether he can go or not
- 31:23Speaker 6: this weekend, I'm excited about the idea of what a, a,
- 31:28Speaker 6: Jonah Coleman backfield could be.
- 31:30Speaker 3: He did do it. I just want to preface this.
- 31:34Speaker 3: He did do it, for sure. But? But he did
- 31:37Speaker 3: it when the offense was starting to hum. You know,
- 31:40Speaker 3: will he make a difference in the first quarter? Well, Moshe,
- 31:42Speaker 3: how about this?
- 31:43Speaker 6: He did it when the defense knew they were going
- 31:45Speaker 6: to run the football.
- 31:47Speaker 3: That's true.
- 31:47Speaker 6: They knew they were going to try and kill the
- 31:49Speaker 6: clock that final drive, and it didn't matter. He picked
- 31:51Speaker 6: up the first down anyway.
- 31:52Speaker 3: That is true. I would love to see a full
- 31:56Speaker 3: taste of Jonah Coleman. I would welcome that. I don't
- 31:59Speaker 3: know what I'm going to get. I'm trying to think
- 32:01Speaker 3: to myself, well, if it was Dobbins in there when
- 32:05Speaker 3: that offense was humming, would you get the same result?
- 32:06Speaker 3: I think the answer is yes. I can make a
- 32:08Speaker 3: contention that Jalen Waddell opened up everything. Of course.
- 32:11Speaker 5: That they were so leery of Jalen Waddell that linebackers
- 32:14Speaker 5: skipped a beat before they moved up to the line
- 32:17Speaker 5: of scrimmage.
- 32:17Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 32:18Speaker 5: I think he changes the way they play, the complexion
- 32:21Speaker 5: of that offense.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Sure.
- 32:23Speaker 6: Adam Schefter is going to join us at 9.20 this morning.
- 32:27Speaker 3: By the way, we were just talking about J.K.
- 32:28Speaker 6: Dobbins, his injury, and that's a look at the injury
- 32:32Speaker 6: report powered by Ramos Law, the official injury law firm
- 32:35Speaker 6: partner of the Broncos country.
- 32:38Speaker 2: J.K.
- 32:38Speaker 6: Dobbins obviously dealing with the hamstring injury. A few different
- 32:42Speaker 6: guys on the report, and we'll get the rest of
- 32:43Speaker 6: that in just a few minutes.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Back after this.
- 32:46Speaker 6: All right, there's a lot of funny audio things that
- 32:50Speaker 6: I want to play. Let's start here, because there's been
- 32:54Speaker 6: a theme. If you guys remember, over the weekend, Jim Nance,
- 32:58Speaker 6: super professional, was calling the game, and he wasn't listening
- 33:02Speaker 6: to his cohort, J.J.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Watt, and this is what it sounded like.
- 33:05Speaker 8: He talked to us about how emotional he got after
- 33:08Speaker 8: that first win, getting the game ball from Aaron Rodgers,
- 33:11Speaker 8: and just how special it was.
- 33:15Speaker 2: He got the game ball, too, in the locker room
- 33:17Speaker 2: from Aaron Rodgers after quite a moment was captured.
- 33:21Speaker 3: See, I... I don't like this presentation. You know how
- 33:24Speaker 3: I feel about Jim.
- 33:27Speaker 5: You guys are out there throwing this around like he
- 33:30Speaker 5: wasn't focusing on JJ.
- 33:32Speaker 3: No, we all feel the same way about Jim, and
- 33:34Speaker 3: we know what happened.
- 33:34Speaker 5: What was really happening and why Jim said the same
- 33:38Speaker 5: thing JJ said? There was somebody in his ear.
- 33:40Speaker 3: The producer was talking in his ear. He couldn't hear JJ.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on.
- 33:44Speaker 6: I know why Vic's getting defensive because we call that
- 33:47Speaker 6: around here pulling a Vic.
- 33:48Speaker 7: JJ what?
- 33:51Speaker 3: So that's one. That's explainable.
- 33:52Speaker 5: No, when I do it, it's vastly different. When I
- 33:56Speaker 5: do it, it's because I'm ignoring you guys altogether.
- 33:59Speaker 3: I have nothing. There's no excuse for me. But when
- 34:02Speaker 3: Jim did it, I'm telling you, somebody was in his ear.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Of course. I don't think that happened to Terry Bradshaw.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Over the weekend, though.
- 34:10Speaker 9: Jacoby Brissett. This guy has been quietly one of the
- 34:14Speaker 9: most decent quarterbacks in the NFL. He has been producing.
- 34:18Speaker 9: There's no doubt about that. And his favorite target is
- 34:20Speaker 9: Trey McBride, who, to me, is the best tight end
- 34:24Speaker 9: in the NFL right now. You can't argue that. You
- 34:28Speaker 9: can't argue that. This is going to be a close game,
- 34:31Speaker 9: but Seattle will be in control the whole time and
- 34:33Speaker 9: will win.
- 34:34Speaker 3: What about McBride? That's what he just said. What did
- 34:36Speaker 3: he say?
- 34:36Speaker 9: What did he talk about?
- 34:38Speaker 3: Brilliant mind to brilliant mind. That one is no excuse. See,
- 34:42Speaker 3: that's quality. That is quality right there.
- 34:45Speaker 6: Gronk for 20 seconds talking about the Cardinals and specifically
- 34:48Speaker 6: Trey McBride for most of it.
- 34:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:51Speaker 5: Not to defend Terry Bradshaw because that was hilarious, but
- 34:55Speaker 5: it's the way Gronk talks. It's almost hard to follow
- 34:59Speaker 5: him because he talks and then, Trey, I'm.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Like, what?
- 35:04Speaker 9: Big boo. I.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Totally agree with you. Idiris Azim. Do you know what
- 35:11Speaker 3: I'm saying? When he talks, it's like, what are you saying?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Listen to him again.
- 35:15Speaker 6: Gronk, first of all, physically imposing, which is already going
- 35:18Speaker 6: to throw you off a little bit.
- 35:22Speaker 3: I don't know how else to say this. It doesn't
- 35:26Speaker 3: sound like an adult is speaking. I don't know what, like...
- 35:31Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 35:32Speaker 9: Jacoby Brussette. This guy has been quietly one of the
- 35:35Speaker 9: most decent quarterbacks in the NFL. He has been producing.
- 35:39Speaker 9: There's no doubt about that. And his favorite target is
- 35:42Speaker 9: Trey McBride, who, to me, is.
- 35:45Speaker 3: The best target. Is it the accent? I don't know, dude.
- 35:47Speaker 3: It just doesn't. What is it? It sounds like he's
- 35:50Speaker 3: in the middle of his fourth rep on the bench.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And Trey McBride, eh. Okay, you know what he sounds like?
- 35:59Speaker 6: I think I've done this impression before. To me, I
- 36:02Speaker 6: think it's one of my better impressions that I do.
- 36:05Speaker 6: This is an eight-year-old kid who rang your doorbell and
- 36:10Speaker 6: wants to see if your son can come out and
- 36:12Speaker 6: play with him, okay?
- 36:16Speaker 3: Hi. Hi, Mr. Lombardi.
- 36:23Speaker 6: Can Dante come out and play with us today? They're
- 36:27Speaker 6: always out of breath for some reason, panting. For some reason,
- 36:32Speaker 6: that's the vibes I get from Gronk. He's a little
- 36:35Speaker 6: kid asking if your son can come out to play.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Here's some of the text coming in. 2420.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Gronk sounds like he eats the candy wrapper. Gronk sounds
- 36:46Speaker 5: like a fourth grader giving a book report.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Yes. Gronk is Patrick from SpongeBob. I don't know if
- 36:56Speaker 3: he's that. It's his cadence. It's the way that he speaks.
- 36:59Speaker 3: It's the accent. He's an upstate New York guy. Someone
- 37:03Speaker 3: said he's stupid. He's not stupid.
- 37:04Speaker 4: Trust me.
- 37:05Speaker 3: He's not stupid. No, no. Do not equate how someone
- 37:07Speaker 3: talks to intelligence. It's not even close. Some of the
- 37:11Speaker 3: smartest people I've ever known can't finish a sentence. Okay, so.
- 37:15Speaker 3: I work with one. But that's the point. I'll say
- 37:19Speaker 3: this right now.
- 37:21Speaker 6: Jameis Winston is incredibly smart, and people think he's stupid
- 37:26Speaker 6: because he speaks with that sort of Cajun accent. He's
- 37:28Speaker 6: got a little bit of that to him, right? And
- 37:30Speaker 6: he's very flowerful in the way that he speaks.
- 37:32Speaker 3: He's incredibly smart. I'm just praying for the Lord to
- 37:34Speaker 3: deliver me from pick sixes.
- 37:37Speaker 6: Here's the other audio I want to play for you,
- 37:39Speaker 6: speaking of how people sound. I saw a tweet that
- 37:42Speaker 6: said this, and I can't. Once you hear it, you're
- 37:46Speaker 6: never going to not hear it. So this is Dallas Turner.
- 37:50Speaker 6: He's a defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings. Vic, the
- 37:53Speaker 6: tweet that I saw said, Dallas Turner finishes his sentences
- 37:57Speaker 6: like an auctioneer. I want you to hear his walk-off
- 38:01Speaker 6: interview from Sunday.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Dallas Turner, what a victory. Two sacks, and you closed
- 38:08Speaker 4: it out on that one.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Your reaction?
- 38:10Speaker 7: I just want to thank God. I just thank him
- 38:12Speaker 7: for everything, for letting me live in this moment and
- 38:14Speaker 7: to walk these shoes, you know, to be around a good.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Group of people.
- 38:16Speaker 4: What is your reaction to this defensive performance against a
- 38:19Speaker 4: team that put up 59 points in week one?
- 38:22Speaker 3: You held them to three.
- 38:23Speaker 7: I mean, you know, mental toughness, you know, is one
- 38:26Speaker 7: of the keys and emphasis on defense. You know, I
- 38:27Speaker 7: feel like we just played that again tonight.
- 38:28Speaker 3: I mean, this afternoon.
- 38:30Speaker 4: What made this scheme today, this game plan from Brian
- 38:33Speaker 4: Flores so effective specifically?
- 38:35Speaker 7: Just being disciplined in our rushes and matching up in
- 38:38Speaker 7: coverage and just knowing.
- 38:42Speaker 8: The type of opponent we're going against.
- 38:45Speaker 3: He starts out at one speed and it's almost like
- 38:48Speaker 3: you speed him up like halfway through. It's warp speed
- 38:50Speaker 3: at the end of it.
- 38:53Speaker 4: How challenging to chase Caleb Williams around for most of
- 38:56Speaker 4: this game?
- 38:57Speaker 3: Hey man, I feel like... Yeah, baby!
- 39:00Speaker 7: I feel like that's one of the, he probably has
- 39:02Speaker 7: the best escapability in the NFL, you ask me, but
- 39:04Speaker 7: you know, it's definitely a fun challenge going against a
- 39:06Speaker 7: guy like that, you.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Know, and I hope you get healthy.
- 39:10Speaker 6: It's actually, dude, he could be like Busta Rhymes if
- 39:14Speaker 6: he wanted to.
- 39:14Speaker 3: He could. That was awesome.
- 39:15Speaker 7: It's definitely a fun challenge going against a guy like that,
- 39:17Speaker 7: you know, and I hope you get healthy.
- 39:18Speaker 6: In fact, Nelly, pull up Busta, my favorite rhyme from Busta.
- 39:24Speaker 6: I cannot think of the song right now.
- 39:25Speaker 3: I'm getting paper. Look at me now. Look at me now, yeah.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Give me that. The clean version, obviously.
- 39:30Speaker 6: And I want you in the middle of Busta doing
- 39:33Speaker 6: his rap. I want you to also play Dallas Turner
- 39:39Speaker 6: finishing a sentence in the middle of it because I'm
- 39:41Speaker 6: pretty sure it's the same speed.
- 39:42Speaker 3: Well, hold on. You're making Steve do it on the
- 39:46Speaker 3: fly here. This is not easy.
- 39:46Speaker 5: You know, I feel bad These guys are getting interviewed
- 39:49Speaker 5: right after a game.
- 39:50Speaker 3: He's out of breath. It's like the hockey interviews. And
- 39:55Speaker 3: I'm going to say this with all love in the world.
- 39:58Speaker 5: You know how I feel about the hockey interviews.
- 40:01Speaker 3: You know how I feel. The intermission interviews.
- 40:04Speaker 5: The biggest waste of time in television. These poor guys
- 40:11Speaker 5: don't want to be out there. They can't even breathe.
- 40:15Speaker 5: And they're sitting there answering two questions. I'm not even
- 40:18Speaker 5: sure matter. Why do we do the intermission hockey interviews?
- 40:24Speaker 3: I have some, we try to get some information, but
- 40:27Speaker 3: I like how we get, I like how we get
- 40:29Speaker 3: a guy who's just coming off the ice. Like he
- 40:31Speaker 3: was just had his last shift. He's like, and he sweat,
- 40:33Speaker 3: sweat is sweating. Yeah. I've done them. I've been there.
- 40:36Speaker 3: And I'm like, I know you have part of me.
- 40:38Speaker 3: He's like, dude, just, Go get an oxygen mask. I'm good, man.
- 40:42Speaker 3: I don't need to hear you say, yeah, pucks on
- 40:45Speaker 3: the net. We're going to get pucks on the net.
- 40:48Speaker 6: Vic, last Friday after the show, I went to Baby
- 40:51Speaker 6: Jamal Cale's preschool, and I was the mystery reader of
- 40:55Speaker 6: the day for them. So I read a book to
- 40:57Speaker 6: her class. At the end of me reading the book,
- 41:00Speaker 6: the teacher said, remember, this is preschool. Does anybody have
- 41:04Speaker 6: questions for Mr.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Brett? Oh, by the way, did your daughter figure out
- 41:08Speaker 3: that it was you? She had no idea. Okay.
- 41:10Speaker 6: But part of it was they said, he's a radio host.
- 41:13Speaker 6: Do you guys have questions for him? And everybody rose
- 41:16Speaker 6: their hand. And I said, yeah, you.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Raised. Raised their hand. I'm up for radio. Hey, Gronk,
- 41:24Speaker 3: it's raised. Everybody raised their hand. Everybody rose from the dead.
- 41:31Speaker 3: Everybody rising their hand. Hang on. Hang on. Everybody raised
- 41:36Speaker 3: their hand. And I was like, yeah, you.
- 41:38Speaker 6: I thought they were all going to have questions for me.
- 41:40Speaker 6: Here was the questions I got. I have a monster truck.
- 41:48Speaker 3: And I feel like, no disrespect, Moj.
- 41:52Speaker 6: Equal value of the hockey walk-off interview at intermission.
- 41:56Speaker 3: They're out of breath. I'm telling you right now. They're
- 41:58Speaker 3: just saying, I'm trying.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Listen, and it sounds like I'm cannibalizing our own product.
- 42:02Speaker 5: Because I understand the role. It is a complete and
- 42:06Speaker 5: utter waste of time.
- 42:10Speaker 9: It is.
- 42:11Speaker 5: Much like, hey, I'll say the same thing about the
- 42:13Speaker 5: coach's interview at halftime of a basketball game sometimes.
- 42:17Speaker 7: A walk-up.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Complete waste of time. Nelly, you said you got this
- 42:21Speaker 3: put together? Let's hear it. All right.
- 42:31Speaker 7: What is your reaction to this? Definitely a fun challenge
- 42:39Speaker 7: going against a guy like that. You know what?
- 42:40Speaker 3: I hope you get healthy. So good. Yeah, Nelly. Mix that, Nelly.
- 42:46Speaker 3: That's exactly what I wanted. Exactly what I wanted. Oh,
- 42:51Speaker 3: that was perfect. All right, I'm going to tell Producer Lee, then,
- 42:53Speaker 3: that you guys are anti-hockey. Oh, don't be so sensitive, Moshe.
- 42:57Speaker 3: I said the same thing about basketball. I do them.
- 43:00Speaker 3: I conduct them, and I think they're a waste of time. Well,
- 43:03Speaker 3: sometimes they're a waste of time because the interviewer screws
- 43:06Speaker 3: it up.
- 43:08Speaker 5: Moj, see, this is where you get so ultra-sensitive that.
- 43:12Speaker 3: It ruins your ability to be credible. What are you
- 43:16Speaker 3: talking about? I'm talking about this. Nelly hit it.
- 43:18Speaker 6: How much importance was defensively for you here tonight?
- 43:24Speaker 3: Now, that's a great question. It's a great question. Sometimes
- 43:27Speaker 3: it's ruined because the interviewer can't ask the proper questions.
- 43:31Speaker 5: So, honest to God, sometimes before I interview the coaches,
- 43:34Speaker 5: sometimes I imagine I have these dreams.
- 43:38Speaker 8: What if I just said, what's your problem out there?
- 43:42Speaker 8: And what if I asked a question like that? What
- 43:44Speaker 8: if I just went straight to the core? Why are
- 43:47Speaker 8: you guys down 20? What's your problem?
- 43:49Speaker 3: Or what about this, Vic? The old tried and true.
- 43:53Speaker 4: Thoughts?
- 43:56Speaker 3: If you just drop a thoughts on somebody, you might
- 44:00Speaker 3: get something. Vic, I'm dead serious. If the interviews went away,
- 44:03Speaker 3: it wouldn't change my life at all. I mean, it
- 44:05Speaker 3: usually comes down to this.
- 44:06Speaker 2: It's this.
- 44:07Speaker 3: First half.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Thoughts?
- 44:10Speaker 3: All right. Second half. Adjustments?
- 44:12Speaker 4: Okay.
- 44:12Speaker 3: Thank you. Yep. 303-504-0925. Back after this. How much importance
- 44:18Speaker 3: was defensively for you here tonight?
- 44:21Speaker 7: Definitely a fun challenge going against a guy like that.
- 44:22Speaker 7: You know what? I hope you get healthy.
