- 1:05Speaker 4: beginning of this schedule, it is just keep your head
- 1:11Speaker 4: above water. Make sure that the beginning of this schedule
- 1:15Speaker 4: does not bury you in a way that you need
- 1:17Speaker 4: to come back from later in the year. And I'll
- 1:19Speaker 4: say this. Moe, as you were asking all offseason, hey,
- 1:23Speaker 4: healthy Joe Burrow, healthy Lamar Jackson. Teams are going to
- 1:26Speaker 4: jump up in the AFC playoff picture that weren't there
- 1:29Speaker 4: last year. Who's going to fall out? The Chargers, I guess,
- 1:32Speaker 4: are the answer to that.
- 1:35Speaker 3: I laugh. When the Chargers lose two home games, you
- 1:39Speaker 3: know the first person I see when the Chargers lose?
- 1:41Speaker 3: Who's the first person you see?
- 1:43Speaker 2: Who?
- 1:43Speaker 4: You see Mosher's face.
- 1:44Speaker 3: You see Mosher. Who is, I mean, glossed, and I'm
- 1:48Speaker 3: not going to say the word that one, he's glossed
- 1:50Speaker 3: the Chargers for the last three years.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Who?
- 1:52Speaker 4: Mosher. Mosher.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I mean, just could not get enough.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Why are they that bad? I told you last week,
- 1:59Speaker 2: they're a fraud. That quarterback has his head so far
- 2:03Speaker 2: out of the game, it's unbelievable. And the only reason
- 2:06Speaker 2: I did that is because I was worried about them.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I was worried about the Harbaugh hiring. I was worried
- 2:10Speaker 2: about her. I have absolutely zero affinity nor connection to
- 2:16Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Chargers of Anaheim.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Every time we did an NFL story, like, hey, you
- 2:20Speaker 3: got to add something NFL.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 3: He'd go to the Chargers every time for the last
- 2:24Speaker 3: two or three years. So, you know, we notice it.
- 2:26Speaker 3: We know your idiosyncrasies here.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I do.
- 2:28Speaker 3: But that looks so bad. So bad.
- 2:32Speaker 4: So bad. Multiple turnovers again for Herbert.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But the one pick... Listen to me. I'm not even
- 2:39Speaker 2: going to say it. The Raiders are 2-0. Yeah, I realize.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And Kirk Cousins is playing like. The Raiders are 2-0.
- 2:45Speaker 3: You like that? You like that?
- 2:47Speaker 2: That's what Kirk Cousins is doing right now at 800
- 2:49Speaker 2: years old. We were never supposed to be in this position.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Not him.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Yeah, the Raiders are 2-0. The Chargers are 0-2. It's unbelievable.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Just like we all predicted.
- 3:03Speaker 2: By the way.
- 3:03Speaker 4: And by the way, they're doing it without Brock Bowers.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I'll get this out of the way right now. We're terrible.
- 3:13Speaker 4: It shouldn't be this hard. But Vic's the only survivor
- 3:17Speaker 4: in the survivor pool right now because the Browns beat
- 3:19Speaker 4: the Bucs.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I noticed that.
- 3:21Speaker 2: What in the world?
- 3:22Speaker 3: What in the world?
- 3:23Speaker 4: I win.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Week two.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Two weeks in, you're in. Everybody, I win.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Here's what happened last week. No, no, hold on a second.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It is week.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Two of the NFL season. And I won already our
- 3:39Speaker 4: survivor pool.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Think about that for a second.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Here's what's funny.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Think about that. Is Vic, you took the Miami game.
- 3:46Speaker 4: I was going to do it, but I was like,
- 3:47Speaker 4: I don't want to pick the same game as Vic.
- 3:49Speaker 4: I'll just pick the other guaranteed winner, which is the
- 3:51Speaker 4: team that's playing the Browns.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Can I say one thing?
- 3:56Speaker 4: I actually think the Bucs would have won that game
- 3:58Speaker 4: if they didn't have to wait five hours in the
- 4:00Speaker 4: locker room to play the last two minutes of it.
- 4:02Speaker 4: The Bucs are going out, have to score a touchdown
- 4:05Speaker 4: to win the football game. Did you guys see the
- 4:08Speaker 4: field when they were in the weather?
- 4:11Speaker 2: It was underwater. It was sick. It was ridiculous.
- 4:16Speaker 4: I can only imagine Baker Mayfield is sitting in the
- 4:18Speaker 4: locker room for what felt like, I think it was
- 4:20Speaker 4: like close to three hours. Two hours, maybe.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Two hours.
- 4:24Speaker 4: And he's like, I have two minutes in one drive
- 4:27Speaker 4: to win the football game and I'm going to go
- 4:29Speaker 4: out there cold. It had to be the weirdest feeling
- 4:31Speaker 4: in the world.
- 4:32Speaker 2: But the It's unbelievable. By the way, I'm looking. The
- 4:38Speaker 2: Chargers in the elimination pool on ESPN, the one that
- 4:41Speaker 2: I joined just for the heck of it before week one.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Have killed everybody?
- 4:47Speaker 2: The Chargers have caused, in week one, I think it
- 4:49Speaker 2: was 188,000 or 190. Now it's 272.1 thousand people have
- 4:51Speaker 2: been eliminated. Yesterday, Another 189,000.4 were eliminated by the Buccaneers.
- 5:03Speaker 4: By the way, Moshe, are you double eliminated from the
- 5:06Speaker 4: survivor pool?
- 5:08Speaker 2: Yep.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Moshe, in two weeks?
- 5:14Speaker 6: Moshe, you wanted to pick the Browns game. And then
- 5:18Speaker 6: Brett said, no, no, no, you can't.
- 5:19Speaker 5: We're the winners. We get to pick.
- 5:21Speaker 6: You can't double up on our pick. And I think
- 5:23Speaker 6: he forced you to switch to the rams with me.
- 5:26Speaker 4: No no he's he's got the he had the bucks
- 5:28Speaker 4: too i did i had i had a double double.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Pick okay so so you're you're so then you're double out.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Hang on hang on moj moj you need to continue
- 5:35Speaker 4: to do this so that anybody in a survivor pool
- 5:39Speaker 4: can pick the opposite team sounds.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Good sounds good hey does anybody does anybody want to
- 5:43Speaker 2: find out how lay it down went.
- 5:45Speaker 3: No right now i oh okay i have to ask
- 5:47Speaker 3: i have i have to ask one more question please
- 5:50Speaker 3: i need research done by every listener out there I
- 5:53Speaker 3: need you to research this. You've all participated in survivor
- 5:58Speaker 3: pools of some sort.
- 5:59Speaker 5: I know you have.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of a survivor pool being done
- 6:04Speaker 3: over with before the final game of week two? The
- 6:07Speaker 3: final game hasn't even been played yet. We're in the
- 6:10Speaker 3: middle of week two, and this one is already over.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Has that ever happened in the history of survivor pools?
- 6:16Speaker 3: Is this the quickest win ever?
- 6:18Speaker 2: It has to be. I mean, you had a team
- 6:20Speaker 2: favored by 10.5 and a team favored by 8.5, and
- 6:23Speaker 2: they both lost at home. The odds of that happening
- 6:26Speaker 2: are almost impossible.
- 6:30Speaker 4: By the way, Vic, you were at the game yesterday.
- 6:34Speaker 4: They're starting this new tradition of planting a flag, and
- 6:36Speaker 4: the flag flies off the actual pole.
- 6:39Speaker 3: That was funny.
- 6:42Speaker 4: We were being yelled at. All weekend on social media
- 6:45Speaker 4: by people from Jacksonville calling us idiots for saying that
- 6:49Speaker 4: the Tim Tebow doing the flag thing was a big deal.
- 6:52Speaker 4: For anybody listening in Jacksonville, we didn't say that. Your
- 6:57Speaker 4: reporter we had on from your area did.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Why do you care what Jacksonville thinks about our radio show?
- 7:03Speaker 4: It's just, you know, we keep getting in these fights
- 7:05Speaker 4: from people in other parts of the country and other
- 7:07Speaker 4: parts of the world. And this time, it's, I think,
- 7:10Speaker 4: the first time that they have been unjustified in yelling
- 7:13Speaker 4: at us about it.
- 7:13Speaker 6: You hold your head up, all right?
- 7:15Speaker 3: What'd they say about us?
- 7:16Speaker 4: They kept calling us idiots, saying nobody in Jacksonville cares
- 7:18Speaker 4: that Tebow's doing this. They go, well, we didn't say that.
- 7:21Speaker 4: A reporter said that. Hey, hold on.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Listen up, Jacksonville. You want to be mad? I got
- 7:27Speaker 3: some things you can be mad about. That's nothing to
- 7:29Speaker 3: be mad about. You ever been to Jacksonville?
- 7:32Speaker 4: I have not.
- 7:32Speaker 2: I have never been to Jacksonville.
- 7:33Speaker 3: I almost took a job in Jacksonville many years ago.
- 7:36Speaker 3: I went there. Got out the plane, looked at it,
- 7:39Speaker 3: and said, yeah, I'm going back home.
- 7:41Speaker 4: What's wrong with it?
- 7:43Speaker 3: It's just vast. It's by the ocean. It's nice. But
- 7:47Speaker 3: it's not even Florida. It's Georgia, basically.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I've been through Jacksonville. I've never stopped in Jacksonville. I've
- 7:54Speaker 2: just been through it.
- 7:55Speaker 4: So what's wrong with it?
- 7:55Speaker 3: Not a fan.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Not a fan of Jacksonville. Well, you don't like the
- 8:01Speaker 2: water anyway because you can't swim.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I don't know how to swim.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Yeah, the water does nothing for you, does it? It's there.
- 8:10Speaker 2: I know we're waiting for Ryan. I know we are,
- 8:13Speaker 2: and hopefully we'll get him sometime.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Well, as we're waiting for Ryan, then let's do this.
- 8:19Speaker 4: What do you think from yesterday, if you had to
- 8:22Speaker 4: pinpoint the specific change that happened in the second half
- 8:26Speaker 4: that led to the comeback? Because I have something that's,
- 8:30Speaker 4: I think, it's two things boiled into one. It was
- 8:35Speaker 4: what we saw all of last year, which was The Broncos,
- 8:39Speaker 4: specifically on offense and specifically Bo Nix, have a comfortability
- 8:44Speaker 4: with being down late. That is a really good trait
- 8:47Speaker 4: to have. And you almost look more comfortable in that
- 8:50Speaker 4: situation than you do early in a football game. But secondly,
- 8:55Speaker 4: it was some pretty big mistakes from Jacksonville at crucial moments.
- 9:00Speaker 4: The pick was brutal. And I think the entire game
- 9:03Speaker 4: changed with the missed field goal. That's when it felt
- 9:05Speaker 4: like the tide officially turned towards the Broncos.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Well, the pick is when it changed because they were
- 9:10Speaker 3: down 13-6 and the Broncos were on the way of
- 9:12Speaker 3: scoring 17 unanswered points. But for me, offensively, what sparked
- 9:18Speaker 3: the offense, and I've already mentioned this, Broncos had the
- 9:21Speaker 3: ball on the 43-yard line. And Bo Nix runs a
- 9:26Speaker 3: planned keeper. You remember the keeper?
- 9:28Speaker 6: Yes.
- 9:29Speaker 3: And it looked good.
- 9:30Speaker 2: It did look good.
- 9:31Speaker 3: He ran it for a first down. And it unlocked
- 9:34Speaker 3: Bo Nix, in my opinion. He got hit. He got
- 9:37Speaker 3: back up.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 9:38Speaker 3: He was a different quarterback after that. Waddle, crossing pattern,
- 9:41Speaker 3: 16 yards.
- 9:42Speaker 4: Waddle, 8 yards.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Bo fade to Franklin. There were some plays in there.
- 9:48Speaker 3: The Atkins touchdown. He looked like a different quarterback after
- 9:51Speaker 3: he ran the ball.
- 9:52Speaker 2: And I think that was the difference. That's what's so
- 9:54Speaker 2: stunning to me is that visually you can see it.
- 9:57Speaker 2: You can see it in, Vic, you can see it
- 10:00Speaker 2: in his dropbacks and the way he throws the ball.
- 10:03Speaker 2: I mean, visually, Brett, he looks like a much more
- 10:06Speaker 2: comfortable sort of gunslinging kind of guy. Yeah. And maybe
- 10:10Speaker 2: that's who he is deep down inside of his soul.
- 10:13Speaker 2: And it's just been sort of coached out of him
- 10:14Speaker 2: by Peyton in the first halfs. for his first two-plus seasons, right?
- 10:20Speaker 2: But it's almost like he thrives in the chaos. He
- 10:25Speaker 2: thrives in the, all right, boys, let's go get it, right?
- 10:28Speaker 2: And then the guys rally behind him. I mean, of
- 10:33Speaker 2: all the traits, I would love to have that trait
- 10:35Speaker 2: the most. I know you're like, I'd like to be
- 10:38Speaker 2: precision from the.
- 10:39Speaker 7: First quarter on, the first drive, let's go 73 yards
- 10:42Speaker 7: for a touchdown and put the team– But when I
- 10:46Speaker 7: watch him play in these chaotic situations where they've got
- 10:50Speaker 7: to make up ground, they have no choice.
- 10:52Speaker 2: He seems to just be a different guy. And visually,
- 10:55Speaker 2: I mean, I did the DiCaprio thing, pointing at the television.
- 11:00Speaker 2: I'm like, that's the guy. That is the guy I
- 11:05Speaker 2: wish was there in the first half.
- 11:07Speaker 4: Can I just say something to you?
- 11:09Speaker 7: What?
- 11:10Speaker 4: The little tone you did of me there for a second.
- 11:14Speaker 4: bleep me for wanting to score some points early in
- 11:17Speaker 4: a game. Is that what was it? Oh, I want
- 11:20Speaker 4: a touchdown to start the game.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:22Speaker 4: That sounds pretty cool. What do you mean?
- 11:24Speaker 3: Hey, what do you guys think about the division as
- 11:26Speaker 3: a whole? What do you think of the chiefs?
- 11:27Speaker 2: Are they back? Uh, Indy played really well last night, dude.
- 11:31Speaker 2: And the Chiefs beat them again because the Witch got
- 11:33Speaker 2: the ball in overtime.
- 11:34Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs have an elite offense. They've got
- 11:37Speaker 3: maybe a top three offense.
- 11:38Speaker 4: Walker helps.
- 11:39Speaker 3: I think their defense has some holes in it. Even
- 11:41Speaker 3: the Indy Colts exploited those holes. I'm not sure why
- 11:44Speaker 3: the Broncos could not. The defense has some holes. But
- 11:47Speaker 3: if you give that offense, if you give Mahomes the ball,
- 11:51Speaker 3: as Indy had to make that tough decision late, they
- 11:53Speaker 3: gave them the ball, and it cost them dearly. You
- 11:56Speaker 3: can't give them the ball with time on the clock.
- 11:59Speaker 3: You just can't do it.
- 12:00Speaker 2: The Raiders are fake, right?
- 12:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not ready to believe in the Raiders yet.
- 12:05Speaker 2: I'm just not.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Who is?
- 12:06Speaker 2: The Chargers obviously stink. They're a fraud. So you go
- 12:09Speaker 2: to their joint and you beat them up. And you
- 12:11Speaker 2: busted up Miami in week one. They stink. Miami won't
- 12:14Speaker 2: win a damn game this year.
- 12:18Speaker 4: The play in overtime. Let me ask you guys a question.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Fourth and eight. The Colts have the ball.
- 12:23Speaker 4: No, no, not that one.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:25Speaker 4: The one that was set up by that.
- 12:27Speaker 3: All right.
- 12:27Speaker 4: Deep throw.
- 12:28Speaker 6: Catch.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Catch.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Downs, I think it was, gets up, gets the ball
- 12:33Speaker 4: punched out. I don't know they overturned that. And for
- 12:39Speaker 4: all of the people, and I want to point this
- 12:40Speaker 4: out just to be fair, because I have been on
- 12:43Speaker 4: the same page as some people where I go, I
- 12:45Speaker 4: don't think it's a conspiracy, but I did find it
- 12:47Speaker 4: odd that it felt like the Chiefs get the benefit
- 12:50Speaker 4: of a lot of calls, especially a lot of calls
- 12:53Speaker 4: in critical situations.
- 12:54Speaker 2: They did not.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And I don't know how you overturned that because that
- 12:58Speaker 4: looked very, very questionable.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Well, again, we've entered that realm of DNA testing in
- 13:04Speaker 3: pro sports. We've seen it in the NBA. You've seen
- 13:07Speaker 3: it many times before the ball goes out of bounds
- 13:09Speaker 3: and it barely flicks the fingernail of a player and
- 13:12Speaker 3: they ultra slow-mo and all that stuff. And in the NFL,
- 13:16Speaker 3: the ultra, I saw that time and time again, and
- 13:19Speaker 3: I could not decisively tell if he was touching him
- 13:21Speaker 3: when the ball was in possession or Because you can't
- 13:23Speaker 3: tell what possession is.
- 13:24Speaker 7: Right.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So I agree with you. The call was made, and
- 13:28Speaker 3: maybe karma took over, and rightfully so, Kansas City won
- 13:32Speaker 3: the game. But I'm going to ask you guys. It's
- 13:34Speaker 3: fourth and eight. You take the field goal, you tie
- 13:37Speaker 3: the game, but you give the witch plenty of time
- 13:39Speaker 3: to win the game. What do you do if you're Indy?
- 13:41Speaker 3: Did they make the right call there?
- 13:44Speaker 2: I guess they had a play. Steichen said they had
- 13:46Speaker 2: a play. But then when they got into– they got
- 13:49Speaker 2: into– to see what the defense was like, this is
- 13:54Speaker 2: not going.
- 13:54Speaker 3: To work, but they thought it's a long way.
- 13:56Speaker 2: It's a long way. And so you could see him coming.
- 13:57Speaker 2: You could see him waving it off on the far sideline.
- 13:59Speaker 2: You could see, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 14:02Speaker 2: And so they kicked the field goal. I think that was,
- 14:03Speaker 2: that was probably their best bet.
- 14:05Speaker 4: If it's fourth and two, it's different. Everybody's going to
- 14:10Speaker 4: call you a loser. If you say this out loud.
- 14:13Speaker 2: But.
- 14:15Speaker 4: If you end that game in a tie, Ties do
- 14:20Speaker 4: help people at the end of the year. They're super
- 14:23Speaker 4: helpful for tiebreakers and stuff like that. Like, hell, man,
- 14:27Speaker 4: the Packers got into the playoffs in large part because
- 14:29Speaker 4: they tied a football game last year. That's what snuck
- 14:32Speaker 4: them into that final wildcard spot. Nobody likes it, but
- 14:36Speaker 4: I think in that situation, I would have done the
- 14:37Speaker 4: same thing.
- 14:38Speaker 2: I would have kicked.
- 14:40Speaker 4: I would love to say that, no, I'd be hyper-aggressive,
- 14:42Speaker 4: and I think it's also different, like, Daniel Jones, if
- 14:46Speaker 4: I had Josh Allen, maybe I'd think differently on that.
- 14:48Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I agree with it, though.
- 14:52Speaker 4: I think I would have kicked the ball and then
- 14:53Speaker 4: hoped he got the stop.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Let me read a text, and we'll talk about this
- 14:58Speaker 3: when we come back. We always talk about fandom. What
- 15:01Speaker 3: is it? And I think fandom is purely subjective. Not
- 15:05Speaker 3: an objective piece of material here. It's subjective. You are
- 15:08Speaker 3: what you are. Can't tell you how to be a fan.
- 15:10Speaker 3: I'm going to read this text. We'll discuss. Broncos fans
- 15:14Speaker 3: are weird. says the texter, 7-9-8-9. It's the only fan
- 15:19Speaker 3: base I've ever heard boo their team and yell, Nick sucks,
- 15:23Speaker 3: and then two plays later, screaming that they love him.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Discuss that next.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody. Mark Mosier's show here on this Monday.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Broncos defeat. Jacksonville Jaguars by a final score of 20-13
- 15:37Speaker 2: and a lot to get to still. About this team,
- 15:40Speaker 2: what we're expected to see coming up next week, the
- 15:42Speaker 2: Rams will play tonight, so they'll have to come into
- 15:44Speaker 2: Denver on a short week. I think that's good. Are
- 15:48Speaker 2: the Rams going to bounce back and then bring it?
- 15:50Speaker 2: Coming up next week, we'll find out, and we'll get
- 15:52Speaker 2: to more of that as we continue on. Hi, guys.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Welcome back. Listening to you do a show by yourself. Listen,
- 15:56Speaker 3: let's be totally abundantly honest and clear. There's only one
- 15:58Speaker 3: of us who can do a show by himself, and
- 16:01Speaker 3: Brett does it. Brett does the appetizer.
- 16:03Speaker 2: There's no way I can do it by myself.
- 16:06Speaker 3: I have to talk to human beings. I don't know
- 16:09Speaker 3: how you do that. Like Mosier's like, hey everybody, Broncos win.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Second game of the season. I'm just stalling until you
- 16:16Speaker 2: fools get back in here.
- 16:17Speaker 3: I know, but this guy actually does.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Well, if I had to really do it by myself,
- 16:20Speaker 2: then I absolutely could.
- 16:21Speaker 4: All right, do it.
- 16:22Speaker 7: Go ahead.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I don't want to.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Vic, you said this. Hexter says, Broncos fans are weird.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Only fan base I ever heard boo their team and
- 16:36Speaker 4: yell that Knicks sucks and then two plays later screaming
- 16:40Speaker 4: that they love them. Fan bases do react that way
- 16:45Speaker 4: more often than you think, but I will say this.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Here's what's funny to me. I, this morning, am being
- 16:52Speaker 4: yelled at for being too negative after a win, which
- 16:55Speaker 4: I've been accused of for an entire year previous to
- 16:58Speaker 4: this one. But after the first week, when I was
- 17:03Speaker 4: pointing out, it's not as bad as you guys think
- 17:06Speaker 4: it is. And it's, no, man, Nick sucks. Would you
- 17:10Speaker 4: give him a $ 55 million contract? Of course you wouldn't.
- 17:13Speaker 4: He's terrible. And I was like, it's been a week.
- 17:16Speaker 4: How about you just chill out?
- 17:17Speaker 2: I did not say he's terrible.
- 17:18Speaker 4: I'm not saying you, but you did ask me the question.
- 17:20Speaker 4: It's like what a lot of people were saying. It's like, oh,
- 17:23Speaker 4: would you still give him the giant contract? They go,
- 17:25Speaker 4: I think one bad game isn't a big deal. And
- 17:27Speaker 4: he does that kind of every year to start the season.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Have you ever paid
- 17:31Speaker 3: for tickets to go to an NFL football game?
- 17:33Speaker 1: Yes.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Sure. Okay.
- 17:34Speaker 3: So you're at the game. Why do you go to
- 17:37Speaker 3: sporting events? What's the... The number one thing. What's the
- 17:40Speaker 3: reason you attend sports?
- 17:42Speaker 2: Because you're a fan of the team that you're buying.
- 17:44Speaker 2: You go to be entertained, right?
- 17:46Speaker 3: Yes, correct. You go to be entertained. Is it entertaining
- 17:48Speaker 3: when the first three series of the game, your offense
- 17:51Speaker 3: does nothing? Is that entertaining?
- 17:52Speaker 1: No.
- 17:53Speaker 3: I have no problem whatsoever with fans expressing their dissatisfaction
- 17:59Speaker 3: with what they're watching through three possessions. And if it
- 18:03Speaker 3: comes in a boo, fine. Those same fans exited the
- 18:07Speaker 3: stadium today. yelling, let's go, Broncos.
- 18:09Speaker 2: You're damn right they did.
- 18:10Speaker 3: Did they sound hypocritical? Yes. But I have no problem.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Hypocrisy is part of fandom.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Well, we can't pretend.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Emotion is part of fandom.
- 18:17Speaker 2: We can't pretend that a three and out, four and out,
- 18:19Speaker 2: and five and out are good. I'm not. We can't
- 18:23Speaker 2: pretend that it's even. Brett, I made fun of you
- 18:26Speaker 2: a little bit earlier. But you know what? It's really
- 18:28Speaker 2: not acceptable to get to halftime of that game and
- 18:31Speaker 2: have one touchdown scored in six quarters of football to
- 18:33Speaker 2: start the season. That's not good, and it's not acceptable. Now,
- 18:37Speaker 2: they rallied. And again, that defense, the defense kept them
- 18:41Speaker 2: in it. The defense just kept doing their job and
- 18:43Speaker 2: doing their job. And thank God that that defense is
- 18:46Speaker 2: so good. And Benito had a terrific game and so on.
- 18:49Speaker 2: But you can't pretend that all that first stuff doesn't
- 18:52Speaker 2: matter because it does. Because in the long run, it's
- 18:54Speaker 2: going to bite you right in the butt. So.
- 19:00Speaker 4: It's shining his shoes during the segment. Here's my problem.
- 19:05Speaker 4: I'll reiterate something that I said earlier in the show,
- 19:07Speaker 4: but I think this matters. I think this highlights my
- 19:09Speaker 4: perspective on this more than anything else. The issues that
- 19:14Speaker 4: I have, even going back to last year with the
- 19:16Speaker 4: way that they were winning, it's a credit to them.
- 19:20Speaker 4: I will continue to say for a quarterback and a
- 19:22Speaker 4: team overall, a team that performs its best when the
- 19:27Speaker 4: game is at its highest pressure is is maybe the
- 19:30Speaker 4: best quality you can have in a team and a quarterback.
- 19:32Speaker 2: I agree.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Here is my problem. People seem to think that if
- 19:37Speaker 4: you get off to a slow start, hey, that game
- 19:40Speaker 4: can turn into a loss by a field goal, meaning
- 19:42Speaker 4: you're still in it. What I'm trying to tell you is,
- 19:46Speaker 4: was there any difference on the scoreboard between this week
- 19:51Speaker 4: and last week against the Chiefs?
- 19:53Speaker 2: Yes.
- 19:54Speaker 3: No, there wasn't.
- 19:55Speaker 4: You were down seven. You were down seven and a half.
- 19:56Speaker 3: I thought you meant the final score.
- 19:58Speaker 4: No, no, no. At halftime.
- 19:59Speaker 2: You've got to clarify yourself. God dang.
- 20:02Speaker 4: At halftime.
- 20:03Speaker 2: You didn't say at halftime.
- 20:05Speaker 4: That's my bad. At halftime, you were down seven.
- 20:08Speaker 5: Today.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Both games. Today.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Both games you're down seven.
- 20:12Speaker 3: On carpet?
- 20:13Speaker 4: Here's the difference. Jacksonville throws a pick.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Yes.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Jacksonville misses a field goal.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Yep.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Now you have the opportunity to win. You know what
- 20:21Speaker 4: happened in the Chiefs game in the second half?
- 20:23Speaker 6: Boom.
- 20:23Speaker 4: They threw a pick. You returned it to the four.
- 20:27Speaker 2: And then you backed up.
- 20:27Speaker 4: You didn't capitalize on it. But here's the main difference.
- 20:31Speaker 4: The Chiefs didn't give you any more opportunities to stay
- 20:35Speaker 4: in the game. They went down and scored a touchdown. Now,
- 20:38Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're down 14. Oh, no. We
- 20:40Speaker 4: got to really turn it on. Oops, we punted again.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Chiefs score again. The game gets away from you in
- 20:46Speaker 4: a hurry. The opportunity to do the comeback thing in
- 20:48Speaker 4: the fourth quarter if the other team takes care of
- 20:50Speaker 4: business doesn't mean you lose by a field goal. You
- 20:53Speaker 4: lose by 21. That's what happens. And that's my fear
- 20:57Speaker 4: is that if you continue to enter games with six
- 21:00Speaker 4: points with 12 minutes left, you don't have the opportunities
- 21:03Speaker 4: against a lot of the better teams in the league
- 21:05Speaker 4: to make this comeback.
- 21:06Speaker 2: But isn't it so much easier to see... Why Jacksonville
- 21:09Speaker 2: cost themselves that game yesterday. Yes. It wasn't an easy
- 21:13Speaker 2: to see why the Eagles cost themselves that game last year.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Yes.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Why the giants did.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Now to the Broncos credit most like, no, they capitalize.
- 21:22Speaker 4: You make the play. You get the interception. You do this.
- 21:24Speaker 4: That's exactly right. But you have, how about this? The Broncos,
- 21:30Speaker 4: to their credit, guys, I'm not even kidding, on offense,
- 21:33Speaker 4: they played a borderline perfect fourth quarter.
- 21:36Speaker 2: They certainly did.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Two touchdown drives when you needed them most, you get
- 21:40Speaker 4: the ball with five minutes left in the game, and
- 21:42Speaker 4: you milk it until there's zeros, and you get the win.
- 21:44Speaker 4: That's perfect football.
- 21:45Speaker 2: And it was a great drive. Great drive.
- 21:48Speaker 4: You leave no margin to make a mistake. That's a
- 21:53Speaker 4: really tough way to live. Cause you made mistakes against
- 21:56Speaker 4: the chiefs and you got buried by 20. That's the
- 21:58Speaker 4: difference here though. It's like, if you play better earlier
- 22:01Speaker 4: or you get results earlier, it allows you to like, oops,
- 22:05Speaker 4: we had a three and out. Cause that happens sometimes.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I thought the Broncos defense was superb. Excellent.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Excellent.
- 22:13Speaker 3: I thought they were superb. I thought they kept the
- 22:16Speaker 3: team in the game long enough to get the engine
- 22:19Speaker 3: started offensively. And that's, and that's exactly what this team
- 22:23Speaker 3: was last year. What is the story of the 2025 Broncos?
- 22:28Speaker 3: I'll tell you what the story is. It's a defense
- 22:31Speaker 3: playing its heart out until the offense warms up.
- 22:36Speaker 4: Yes, of course.
- 22:38Speaker 3: And that's what we saw yesterday. Keep it competitive until
- 22:42Speaker 3: the offense gets the engine started and gets going.
- 22:44Speaker 2: What did you.
- 22:45Speaker 4: Ask going into that game, though? You asked for something specific.
- 22:48Speaker 3: I asked for offense.
- 22:49Speaker 4: You asked for the offense to carry the day, right?
- 22:52Speaker 4: The defense had to carry you all the way to
- 22:54Speaker 4: the end.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Nothing changed.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Nothing.
- 22:56Speaker 3: That's why I said after the game. My takeaway from
- 22:58Speaker 3: that game is this game reminded me a lot of
- 23:01Speaker 3: last year's games. And that's what the Broncos are. Maybe
- 23:04Speaker 3: we're asking for something that's just not there. Maybe we're
- 23:08Speaker 3: asking for something that's not possible.
- 23:10Speaker 2: This is what I said to start out the program.
- 23:11Speaker 4: But it is there because they do it late.
- 23:13Speaker 2: It's in there.
- 23:14Speaker 3: It's in there.
- 23:15Speaker 2: This is what I said, though. Actually, I said it
- 23:17Speaker 2: before the program started. Brett called me in when I
- 23:19Speaker 2: put my stuff down during the appetizer.
- 23:21Speaker 4: What'd I say, Kaner? That it looked like last year?
- 23:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're going to just have to come
- 23:26Speaker 2: to grips and accept the fact that this is who.
- 23:28Speaker 6: They are, man.
- 23:29Speaker 3: Yeah. Winning is winning, though. Winning is good. No, no, absolutely.
- 23:33Speaker 2: You're damn right it is. And I'll take winning over
- 23:35Speaker 2: prettiness any single day. That being said. It doesn't look
- 23:40Speaker 2: like it's going to change anytime soon. It looks like
- 23:44Speaker 2: we're probably going to get the same dang thing week
- 23:46Speaker 2: after week, and we just better accept it. My only
- 23:49Speaker 2: fear with that is, again, last year, in my opinion,
- 23:52Speaker 2: it was a complete anomaly. You can't win all those
- 23:56Speaker 2: one-score games like that again. I mean, I guess you can,
- 24:00Speaker 2: but in the history of the National Football League, the
- 24:02Speaker 2: odds would tell you that Brett... You're going to come
- 24:05Speaker 2: back to the mean, are you not?
- 24:07Speaker 4: Yes.
- 24:08Speaker 2: You're going to come back to the mean, and you
- 24:10Speaker 2: can't live on that edge. And Sean Payton, ladies and gentlemen,
- 24:14Speaker 2: preached that all offseason and through training camp long that
- 24:18Speaker 2: you can't live on that edge. You're going to have
- 24:20Speaker 2: to be a better starting team. Well, they pulled it
- 24:22Speaker 2: out of their keister again yesterday. So maybe you can.
- 24:25Speaker 3: You know what was weird about the first half? I
- 24:27Speaker 3: wrote this down.
- 24:28Speaker 4: They're 13-3 dating back to last year in more score games.
- 24:30Speaker 2: There you go. Which is, again, that's an anomaly.
- 24:33Speaker 3: This is really a two-score game. They could have put
- 24:35Speaker 3: more points on the board late. They just ate them.
- 24:38Speaker 2: True.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Let's be honest. They could have put more points on
- 24:40Speaker 3: the board. The Broncos' first half, right? They trailed the
- 24:43Speaker 3: half 10-3. And yet they outgained the Jacksonville Jaguars 188-153.
- 24:50Speaker 3: The Broncos produced more offense. They just couldn't do anything
- 24:53Speaker 3: in the red zone. And I thought the biggest difference,
- 24:56Speaker 3: I wrote this down, overall and at halftime, too many penalties.
- 25:01Speaker 3: I wrote it down. The mechanical penalties that shut down
- 25:05Speaker 3: drives before they even start. The fall starts at the
- 25:08Speaker 3: beginning of a drive. You got something going and a
- 25:12Speaker 3: hold pushes you back 10 yards. And the offense is
- 25:15Speaker 3: not equipped. I guess it's not good enough to overcome
- 25:18Speaker 3: those mistakes. But to have 14 penalties on the day.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Was it 14? But they finished with.
- 25:23Speaker 4: Hold on a second.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Ten.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Okay, ten penalties on the day, 14 total for the game.
- 25:28Speaker 3: And they only have four, Jacksonville. There's something going on there.
- 25:33Speaker 3: You've got to be more disciplined. They are undisciplined whistles
- 25:38Speaker 3: that are costing this offense before it even gets a
- 25:40Speaker 3: chance to get going.
- 25:42Speaker 4: When was... Yeah, right here. It was the first drive
- 25:46Speaker 4: of the second half.
- 25:48Speaker 7: So.
- 25:50Speaker 4: Uh, Nick's threw a ball to waddle that converted on
- 25:53Speaker 4: third down 16 yards. Then it was a big reverse
- 25:56Speaker 4: for Pat Bryant for a first down. Then they took
- 26:02Speaker 4: a delay a game on first down.
- 26:03Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Can't do that.
- 26:04Speaker 4: That can't happen.
- 26:05Speaker 2: You can't do that.
- 26:07Speaker 3: No, you can't do that.
- 26:08Speaker 4: And that puts you, it was third and five at
- 26:09Speaker 4: the end of that. Nick's was almost sacked. You had
- 26:12Speaker 4: to settle for a field goal. Like that's the stuff.
- 26:13Speaker 4: That's a killer.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right here. First and 10 in
- 26:16Speaker 3: the second quarter. First and 10. You got the ball
- 26:19Speaker 3: at the 40. Ideal field position.
- 26:21Speaker 5: First play of the drive.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Illegal formation. You can't do that.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:26Speaker 3: How do you have illegal formation?
- 26:28Speaker 2: I don't know, Vic.
- 26:31Speaker 3: These are the things they have to clean up. Very
- 26:33Speaker 3: first drive of the game. Motion penalty.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Waddle in motion.
- 26:38Speaker 3: You can't do that.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Yeah. You scripted your plays, right? Yep.
- 26:44Speaker 4: You should know them like the back of your hand.
- 26:47Speaker 4: But again, this is the battle that I had all
- 26:51Speaker 4: of last year. It's you're doing things so incredibly well
- 26:57Speaker 4: at some points in that game. The way that you finish,
- 27:00Speaker 4: your execution late in games is so almost elite level
- 27:06Speaker 4: that you could look at it and say, well, if
- 27:09Speaker 4: you're doing that, then who really cares how the start is?
- 27:12Speaker 4: It's hard for me not to, though.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:14Speaker 4: It's hard for me to look at the crucial areas
- 27:17Speaker 4: that you need to be good in the NFL, third
- 27:19Speaker 4: down in red zone. They aren't very good at those.
- 27:22Speaker 4: They just aren't. They were one of six on third
- 27:23Speaker 4: down in the first half.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Plenty more Bronco talk in store. Texter3686, I know you
- 27:28Speaker 3: guys are talking about the Broncos. Are you going to
- 27:30Speaker 3: touch on Cam Whitmore with the Nuggets in last night's
- 27:34Speaker 3: Avs game? I'll touch on Whitmore a little bit. Cam Whitmore,
- 27:37Speaker 3: Villanova product. Hasn't really hung on in the league. Can't
- 27:41Speaker 3: catch on in the league for whatever reason. Average is 10-4.
- 27:45Speaker 3: He can score. He can do some things. The Nuggets
- 27:47Speaker 3: don't have the financial wherewithal or space to give him
- 27:51Speaker 3: a regular contract. So they managed to get him on
- 27:54Speaker 3: a two-way deal, which surprises me that he decided to
- 27:58Speaker 3: take that. And it leads me to believe, because this guy,
- 28:02Speaker 3: I'm telling you, he could stick. He could stick. Cam
- 28:04Speaker 3: Whitmore can help this team. Now, a two-way deal? He's
- 28:09Speaker 3: limited to 50 games. Maybe there's a conversation. Hey, come
- 28:14Speaker 3: here on a two-way. We plan on making some moves
- 28:17Speaker 3: at the deadline. And by the deadline, you'll have yourself
- 28:20Speaker 3: a roster. Maybe that conversation took place.
- 28:24Speaker 4: Well, listen to this, Vic. This is from Bennett Durando.
- 28:26Speaker 4: The Cavs are on the hook for $ 1. 8 million in
- 28:29Speaker 4: dead cap for each of the next three seasons after
- 28:32Speaker 4: acquiring and subsequently waiving Cam Whitmore. The Nuggets are on
- 28:37Speaker 4: the hook. Raise $ 0 cap in.
- 28:40Speaker 6: Yes.
- 28:40Speaker 4: He's free.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Free, yes.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Unless they sign him. You got to get a roster spot.
- 28:45Speaker 3: You got to put him on that full-time roster spot.
- 28:48Speaker 3: Right now, they're still stuck in that tax hell. So
- 28:51Speaker 3: it's going to take some navigation to put him there,
- 28:53Speaker 3: to get him there. Now, I love this deal because
- 28:56Speaker 3: what it's going to do, it's a prove-it deal from
- 28:58Speaker 3: Cam Whitmore. It's a two-way deal. Show us that you
- 29:01Speaker 3: can play. Show us that you can be relied upon.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Show us what you can do, and we will make it.
- 29:08Speaker 3: We will move heaven and earth to make sure you
- 29:10Speaker 3: get a roster spot.
- 29:10Speaker 2: He had a pretty decent rookie year with Houston, pretty decent.
- 29:15Speaker 2: And he played almost 19 minutes a game. He's a
- 29:18Speaker 2: first-round pick, but he's only 22 years old.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still young.
- 29:21Speaker 2: He's still very, very young, very.
- 29:23Speaker 3: All right, what about the Avs last night? You called
- 29:25Speaker 3: that game on radio for me.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it was great to see some guys who
- 29:30Speaker 2: they're going to be looking toward the future with, like
- 29:32Speaker 2: Beckett Hamilton, kid from Red Deer, 18 years old. Puts
- 29:36Speaker 2: himself in a great spot. Marty Nates just delivers. Knocks
- 29:39Speaker 2: it home. Gavin Brindley.
- 29:41Speaker 3: The Avs won the game, by the way, in case
- 29:42Speaker 3: you're wondering.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin Brindley was the best player on the ice,
- 29:45Speaker 2: in my opinion.
- 29:45Speaker 4: I'm a big Brindley guy, you know that.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Best player on the ice, showed that he wants to
- 29:49Speaker 2: be in the NHL, which is going to be tough
- 29:51Speaker 2: with how stacked this Avalanche lineup is.
- 29:53Speaker 4: When LOC was out last year, There was a hole
- 29:57Speaker 4: that was missing of a my boy territory because he
- 29:59Speaker 4: was missing for so long. Gavin Brindley filled that for
- 30:01Speaker 4: a second. That holds my heart.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Brock Nelson, Vic. And again, you're talking about the Mammoth
- 30:07Speaker 2: brought some dudes, not a ton of dudes. Brock Nelson
- 30:10Speaker 2: had a power play goal. Great shot. And then the
- 30:13Speaker 2: goal of the night was Taylor McCarr. He collides with
- 30:17Speaker 2: Vincent Trocek in the neutral zone. Trocek goes down like
- 30:20Speaker 2: a sack of wet cement. He picks up the puck,
- 30:23Speaker 2: skates it into the zone. Two Mammoth players get on
- 30:26Speaker 2: his back. Carcone and Butt get on his back, and
- 30:29Speaker 2: he goes short side, rocking.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Back for the goal.
- 30:32Speaker 2: It was killer. So he, listen, these guys, while the
- 30:38Speaker 2: odds of them making the opening night roster are incredibly
- 30:41Speaker 2: slim because the abs are pretty stacked, and they've got
- 30:44Speaker 2: guys on one ways. Fact of the matter is, is
- 30:47Speaker 2: that these guys are going to be in a prime position,
- 30:50Speaker 2: and they're going to be called up at some point.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Injuries happen to everybody. These guys will be in a
- 30:55Speaker 2: prime position to come in and contribute because I think
- 30:57Speaker 2: both of them really want it badly.
- 30:59Speaker 4: By the way, they announced last week the renovations that
- 31:02Speaker 4: are going to be happening to Ball Arena. I saw
- 31:06Speaker 4: the mock-ups for that. Looks pretty sick.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Well, this is all part and parcel with the entire
- 31:12Speaker 3: redevelopment project that's taking place. What people need to understand,
- 31:16Speaker 3: these are going to come one stage at a time, right?
- 31:19Speaker 3: You're not going to put a redevelopment project in that
- 31:21Speaker 3: whole area without redeveloping the hub of that area, which
- 31:24Speaker 3: is Ball Arena. So they're going to make Ball Arena.
- 31:27Speaker 3: They're going to basically reinvent the thing. They have to, right?
- 31:30Speaker 3: It's 25 years old.
- 31:32Speaker 2: I will say this again, but when you go around
- 31:35Speaker 2: the league, the buildings that are of similar age, maybe
- 31:38Speaker 2: a couple years before, a couple years after, maybe, heck,
- 31:42Speaker 2: right around there, Ball Arena holds up like a mother.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Ball arena is, I mean, it's not as big as
- 31:50Speaker 2: some and whatnot. Concourses, that sort of thing. But the
- 31:54Speaker 2: upkeep on that building is top notch.
- 31:57Speaker 4: We're going to talk to Ryan Harris. He's going to
- 31:59Speaker 4: join us either next or at 9 o'clock, one of
- 32:01Speaker 4: the two. But we'll get his thoughts on the Broncos game. Oh,
- 32:03Speaker 4: by the way, in the mix of that as well.
- 32:04Speaker 4: Stick around.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Oh, stories out there that are weird and dumb.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Bye.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I'm sick of this alien crap. The.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Is this for your information? What's the name of this segment?
- 32:13Speaker 4: Way. Oh, by the way.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Oh, by the way.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Oh, by the way.
- 32:16Speaker 4: A Mexican Batman duct taping thieves to light poles.
- 32:19Speaker 1: With Mosher Lombardi and Kane. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. I
- 32:23Speaker 1: like turtles.
- 32:27Speaker 4: To Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio. Rally
- 32:29Speaker 4: House shop every team in town. And this is Oh,
- 32:32Speaker 4: by the way. stories around sports in the world we
- 32:36Speaker 4: feel like you should be aware of. Ryan Harris will
- 32:37Speaker 4: join us in 15 minutes. But can I start here?
- 32:43Speaker 4: I thought the most intriguing game of the NFL weekend
- 32:48Speaker 4: was the Bears and Vikings, and it was really interesting.
- 32:50Speaker 4: It was a rainy mess, but it was maybe the
- 32:54Speaker 4: NFL's best play caller on offense going up against maybe
- 32:58Speaker 4: the NFL's best play caller on defense in Brian Flores
- 33:01Speaker 4: in Minnesota. So Chicago in Minnesota, nobody's scoring. It's field
- 33:08Speaker 4: goals and punts being traded. And Caleb Williams on the
- 33:13Speaker 4: doorstep of scoring a touchdown takes off and scrambles and
- 33:17Speaker 4: falls and screams. Like, screams in pain and frustration.
- 33:24Speaker 2: It was loud, yes.
- 33:26Speaker 4: He's carted off the field. He's crying going to the
- 33:28Speaker 4: locker room. They're getting an MRI on his hamstring today.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Early indications say that it might be a grade one
- 33:35Speaker 4: hamstring strain. If that's the case.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Say it.
- 33:42Speaker 4: Do you need to get carted off and cry over
- 33:46Speaker 4: a grade one hamstring strain? Remember, a grade two is
- 33:49Speaker 4: something that Aaron Gordon played through in the playoffs.
- 33:51Speaker 3: You ever pulled a hamstring?
- 33:53Speaker 4: I did a year ago.
- 33:54Speaker 3: The first time you pull a hamstring, it's such a
- 33:56Speaker 3: foreign feel. It's just like, what just happened? Did somebody
- 34:00Speaker 3: shoot me in the leg? I think he was just scared.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but he sees.
- 34:09Speaker 4: To be carted off and in tears for something that
- 34:12Speaker 4: might be a two to three week injury. Just felt weird.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Just say it.
- 34:18Speaker 4: It makes you look like a wuss. I don't know
- 34:20Speaker 4: how else to put it.
- 34:21Speaker 5: It really does.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Now, maybe it's worse.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Maybe they'll get the MRI today and it's going to
- 34:27Speaker 4: be something, maybe it ripped off the bone.
- 34:29Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'm not going to do it.
- 34:31Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about my situation. I'm just
- 34:33Speaker 2: not going to do it. I'm sorry. I refuse, okay? Huh?
- 34:37Speaker 2: But there's no.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Well, you know, the... Oh. The thing with the thing
- 34:43Speaker 2: and the lower leg and the thing, okay? Hey, oh,
- 34:45Speaker 2: by the way, 6-0, baby, 6-0. It's what the Rockies
- 34:51Speaker 2: have to go to round out this season to avoid
- 34:53Speaker 2: 100 losses.
- 34:54Speaker 4: I got faith.
- 34:55Speaker 2: They got to go six.
- 34:56Speaker 3: You'd like that, wouldn't you?
- 34:58Speaker 2: 57 and 99 is where they are. 57 and 99.
- 35:03Speaker 3: So, Coach Sanford's prediction, where do we stand on that?
- 35:07Speaker 2: He had it September 25th. Today is the 21st.
- 35:11Speaker 4: He cannot get it.
- 35:13Speaker 3: What's that?
- 35:14Speaker 4: He cannot get it.
- 35:15Speaker 2: No. Well, if they win, if they. Yeah, he can.
- 35:18Speaker 3: If they win their next three.
- 35:22Speaker 4: You said they need to go 6-0 to avoid.
- 35:24Speaker 2: 100 losses, but Sanford predicted their 100th loss in game
- 35:28Speaker 2: 160 on September 25th.
- 35:29Speaker 5: No, that's when he predicted the 63rd win.
- 35:32Speaker 4: The 63rd win.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Oh!
- 35:33Speaker 4: Yeah, he can't get it.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Oh, then they can't get it. No, they can't get it. Wait. Yeah,
- 35:38Speaker 2: they can.
- 35:39Speaker 3: You guys are dumb.
- 35:41Speaker 4: No, not in time.
- 35:43Speaker 2: They have 57 wins, plus 6-63.
- 35:48Speaker 4: By his date. When does his date say it?
- 35:50Speaker 2: Oh, the 25th. Okay, my bad. Oh, Jesus, God. Okay,
- 35:53Speaker 2: my bad.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Everybody here is dumber for listening to that segment.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Hey, the Rockies are at 99 losses. They're going to
- 35:59Speaker 2: lose 100.
- 35:59Speaker 3: All right, Grandpa, let's get you to bed. All right. Oh,
- 36:01Speaker 3: by the way, I have to say this, not only
- 36:03Speaker 3: because we broadcast the game, but that finish to the
- 36:06Speaker 3: Valor Cherry Creek Friday night high school football game. First
- 36:11Speaker 3: of all, the scene, the climate, the sold-out stadium atmosphere
- 36:16Speaker 3: It was one of the craziest finishes I remember. It
- 36:19Speaker 3: was one of the greatest high school scenes in Colorado
- 36:22Speaker 3: history for a regular season game. There was a concert afterwards.
- 36:27Speaker 3: There was intensity. There was emotion. Creek was down 12-0
- 36:30Speaker 3: late in the game.
- 36:33Speaker 4: Rallied back.
- 36:34Speaker 3: They had like 9, 10.
- 36:36Speaker 4: 12 lives.
- 36:37Speaker 3: They win the game at the buzzer. And I know
- 36:39Speaker 3: Coach Sanford wasn't happy with the result, but I think
- 36:42Speaker 3: both of those teams are going to meet again in
- 36:44Speaker 3: the playoffs.
- 36:44Speaker 2: I really do.
- 36:46Speaker 3: That game was insane. Insane. It's the only way to
- 36:50Speaker 3: describe it.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Well, it was, what, one of the best high school
- 36:53Speaker 4: matchups in the country.
- 36:54Speaker 3: And the players on that field, Tyler Plumbis mentioned it
- 36:58Speaker 3: during the broadcast, there's maybe $ 5 to $ 7 million in
- 37:00Speaker 3: NIL money walking around that field.
- 37:02Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, for sure. That's crazy. Oh, by the way,
- 37:08Speaker 4: can I give you guys some clips of broadcasting from
- 37:11Speaker 4: over the weekend?
- 37:12Speaker 1: Sure.
- 37:12Speaker 4: And just get your thoughts. First of all, Jim Nance...
- 37:16Speaker 4: Had a Vic moment. Jim Nance, who is as professional
- 37:21Speaker 4: as professional gets.
- 37:22Speaker 2: I heard this.
- 37:23Speaker 4: I want you guys to listen at his best Vic
- 37:25Speaker 4: Lombardi impression.
- 37:26Speaker 2: He talked to us about how emotional he got after
- 37:29Speaker 2: that first win, getting the game ball from Aaron Rodgers,
- 37:32Speaker 2: and just how special it was.
- 37:34Speaker 3: He got the game ball, too, in the locker room
- 37:38Speaker 3: from Aaron Rodgers after quite a moment.
- 37:41Speaker 2: It was captured.
- 37:42Speaker 3: So you know what that tells me? He basically repeated
- 37:45Speaker 3: what J.J. Watt said. And I feel for Jim because
- 37:48Speaker 3: I know what Jim is going through. I do that
- 37:49Speaker 3: often on this show. If you've been a long time listener,
- 37:51Speaker 3: I repeat what I said. It's because my co-hosts, they
- 37:55Speaker 3: bore me to such a degree. They drone on and on.
- 38:00Speaker 3: And the voice track gets lost. You don't even pay
- 38:03Speaker 3: attention to him anymore.
- 38:04Speaker 4: No, you're just not a professional. I guarantee what happened
- 38:06Speaker 4: with Jim Nance is somebody was probably in his ear
- 38:09Speaker 4: while J.J. Watt was talking. And he's like, oh, you said,
- 38:13Speaker 4: I actually got the game ball.
- 38:15Speaker 3: See, I think, and he's going to catch all the
- 38:17Speaker 3: heat for it, but it's actually the producer who's in
- 38:20Speaker 3: his ear who distracted him.
- 38:22Speaker 2: Yes.
- 38:22Speaker 3: So every time I do that, It's Steve Nelson.
- 38:25Speaker 2: It's Nelly in your ear.
- 38:26Speaker 4: Copy, okay. So a couple more broadcasting setups here.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Tom Brady.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Getting a little casual in the booth on a couple
- 38:35Speaker 4: different instances. This is him in reacting to the dislocated
- 38:39Speaker 4: elbow of Jaden Daniels.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Gets stepped on. The right guard foot, I think, comes over.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Was that his center?
- 38:46Speaker 3: Alec Reddy.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Oh.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Excuse me.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Was not expecting to see that.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Ha ha.
- 38:54Speaker 4: So he curses later.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Can I defend him first? When an elbow goes the
- 38:58Speaker 2: wrong way, okay, like an alien, when an elbow goes
- 39:01Speaker 2: the wrong way, I would say the same thing.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Here's another one later in the game.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Second and long here.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Rifles one, seed Eli.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
- 39:10Speaker 7: Beauty of a throw from Dak Prescott on target. absolute
- 39:21Speaker 7: piss missile up the sidelines.
- 39:23Speaker 5: Samer's still stinking in cover two.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I don't think you can say that on a national broadcast.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Can you say it on the radio? Sure you can.
- 39:31Speaker 2: You just did.
- 39:33Speaker 4: Sure you can.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Sure you can. What's wrong with that?
- 39:35Speaker 4: It's just for a Fox national broadcast audience might be
- 39:39Speaker 4: a little bit.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Absolute piss missile. Okay. Look.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Makes me sound clean.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Fact of the matter is, I would like to say
- 39:46Speaker 2: that too. I mean, I know exactly what he means.
- 39:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:49Speaker 2: When he says that, if I have, and I didn't
- 39:52Speaker 2: hear that. I didn't watch that portion of it. But
- 39:55Speaker 2: I know exactly, in my head, I know exactly what
- 39:58Speaker 2: he's talking about. Here's one more.
- 40:00Speaker 4: One more from over the weekend. This is Ohio State
- 40:02Speaker 4: and Kent State. Gus Johnson's on the call. Gus Johnson
- 40:06Speaker 4: has been criticized by a lot of people for what?
- 40:08Speaker 2: Being too crazy.
- 40:09Speaker 4: Overly animated.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Well, he's taking it the other way now. Is he almost.
- 40:16Speaker 4: Is he almost intentionally doing this as like a bleep
- 40:20Speaker 4: you to people who criticize him? This is the first
- 40:23Speaker 4: touchdown of the game from Ohio State. This is how
- 40:25Speaker 4: it sounded.
- 40:25Speaker 5: Second and four at the 11-yard line.
- 40:27Speaker 6: Jacoby Jackson checks in and he'll give it to Jacoby.
- 40:32Speaker 5: And he breaks it back. Touchdown, Buckeyes.
- 40:37Speaker 4: I know the game is against Kent State. It's not
- 40:39Speaker 4: some huge matchup, but it's 7-0. The game just started.
- 40:45Speaker 4: I almost feel like he's doing that intentionally.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Dialing it down on purpose. Yeah. As to lose the rep?
- 40:52Speaker 2: I'd just rather have him be himself. I'd rather just
- 40:55Speaker 2: have him be himself.
- 40:56Speaker 3: I've got one for you.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, did you see what happened yesterday
- 41:01Speaker 2: in Nashville? The temperature was 97 degrees.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Vic, the turf.
- 41:08Speaker 2: At the stadium was so hot, it was 157. Players'
- 41:13Speaker 2: cleats were melting and Nick Sirianni of the Eagles needed
- 41:17Speaker 2: an IV. He had to have an IV during the
- 41:23Speaker 2: game because he was gonna pass out.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:27Speaker 2: That's crazy. I saw the spring, the cleats with water thing. Yeah,
- 41:32Speaker 2: that turf is, that turf just sucked all the heat
- 41:35Speaker 2: right into it, man. And they're building a new stadium,
- 41:38Speaker 2: so is it going to be turf or is it
- 41:41Speaker 2: going to be grass?
- 41:42Speaker 3: Okay, oh, by the way, this bears repeating, if you
- 41:45Speaker 3: missed it in the first hour of the show, it
- 41:47Speaker 3: has to be a world record. We have our own
- 41:50Speaker 3: survivor's pool here in our morning radio show. And you
- 41:54Speaker 3: know how an NFL survivor pool works. Normally these things
- 41:58Speaker 3: go the full season. There are people still alive at
- 42:02Speaker 3: the end of the season. Our survivor pool is over
- 42:06Speaker 3: week two.
- 42:07Speaker 2: It's done. I've won it. Week two.
- 42:12Speaker 4: It's over, pal.
- 42:16Speaker 3: Think about how dumb the people I work with have
- 42:19Speaker 3: to be for this to be over week two. Think
- 42:23Speaker 3: about how dumb they are.
- 42:25Speaker 4: How are the Bucks going to lose to the Browns?
- 42:27Speaker 4: How are they going to do that?
- 42:29Speaker 2: How are the Chargers going to get worked by the
- 42:31Speaker 2: Cardinals the same way they got worked by the Raiders?
- 42:33Speaker 2: I reckon they stink.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Think about just how insane, how crazy, I don't know
- 42:39Speaker 3: what word to give it. How stupid do you have
- 42:42Speaker 3: to be to be eliminated in a survivor pool in
- 42:44Speaker 3: the first two weeks?
- 42:45Speaker 2: Hey, Nelly, how did lay it down go for Ole
- 42:48Speaker 2: Mos this weekend?
- 42:49Speaker 4: Don't worry about it.
- 42:51Speaker 5: Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
- 42:56Speaker 4: Nelly, I had two plays I want to show before
- 42:59Speaker 4: we get out of here. First one, this is elder abuse.
- 43:04Speaker 4: You can't do this to this guy. Did you guys
- 43:07Speaker 4: see the hit that Aaron Rodgers took over the weekend
- 43:09Speaker 4: as a 42-year-old man, 43-year-old man? Folded. I mean, for
- 43:14Speaker 4: him to stay in the game after that hit is
- 43:16Speaker 4: actually pretty remarkable. Zelda abuse. You can't do that. By
- 43:19Speaker 4: the way, I said this at the beginning of the
- 43:21Speaker 4: year with the Steelers. I'm going to say it again.
- 43:23Speaker 4: What's the point? What's the point of the Pittsburgh Steelers?
- 43:26Speaker 4: They aren't doing anything. They aren't good enough to do anything.
- 43:30Speaker 4: I just don't get it.
- 43:32Speaker 3: They're running in place is what they're doing.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:34Speaker 3: It's that person at the stoplight that's waiting for the
- 43:37Speaker 3: light to turn green and they're running in place.
- 43:39Speaker 4: Did they actually think that McCarthy and Rogers were going
- 43:42Speaker 4: to take them to the postseason? There's no way. That
- 43:44Speaker 4: team's terrible. Here's the other play, by the way. It
- 43:46Speaker 4: might be the catch of the year. Did you guys
- 43:47Speaker 4: see the Pirro wedding catch of Jamar Chase over the weekend?
- 43:51Speaker 2: At the pylon?
- 43:53Speaker 7: Yes.
- 43:54Speaker 4: He's falling down. He gets tripped up. Somehow keeps his balance.
- 43:58Speaker 3: That's sick.
- 43:58Speaker 4: Tiptoes it.
- 43:59Speaker 3: That's sick.
- 44:01Speaker 4: It's been this way for a while, but there's no
- 44:04Speaker 4: argument to me. That's the best receiver in the league.
- 44:06Speaker 4: That guy is unbelievable. Look at that catch.
- 44:09Speaker 2: How do you do that? Thank God the Bengals were
- 44:12Speaker 2: on the schedule last year and not this year.
- 44:15Speaker 3: You know, as good as that catch is, I thought
- 44:17Speaker 3: the Troy Franklin catch may have been better.
- 44:20Speaker 4: It was great.
- 44:21Speaker 3: Did you guys see how.
- 44:23Speaker 4: Hard that is to go over the opposite shoulder?
- 44:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:28Speaker 4: We'll talk more about that with Ryan Harris in just
- 44:32Speaker 4: a couple of minutes. Again, the NFL weekend isn't over
- 44:35Speaker 4: until Monday Night Football wraps up. Tune in for Giants

- 44:47Speaker 2: All right, I can commiserate from the 9017. Vic, my
- 44:52Speaker 2: girlfriend is watching right now and was eliminated from her pool.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Please apologize.
- 44:58Speaker 3: She must not be very bright when it comes to
- 45:00Speaker 3: football pools because these two, same thing. They're both eliminated
- 45:03Speaker 3: week two. I'm not apologizing.
- 45:05Speaker 4: Mosher was double eliminated in two weeks. Mosher. Mosher. That's
- 45:11Speaker 4: so funny.
- 45:12Speaker 3: Think about her. Think about how dumb Mosher is. He
- 45:15Speaker 3: was given a mulligan after the first week.
- 45:18Speaker 4: And you banged it in the woods again.
- 45:21Speaker 3: Again.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Ryan Harris next.
