- 0:44Speaker 4: All right, let's head out to the Ramos Law Hotline.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Did Craigman call you, Chad? Chad Brown with us. The mother,
- 0:54Speaker 4: or I'm sorry, the monster of God? Is that what
- 0:56Speaker 4: he just called you?
- 0:58Speaker 5: That is what he called me, yes.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Have you not seen that series yet? Have you seen
- 1:03Speaker 2: that series, Brett?
- 1:04Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I didn't know.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
- 1:06Speaker 6: What is it?
- 1:06Speaker 2: Well, it's these crazies like Chad who are into reptiles.
- 1:12Speaker 6: And they.
- 1:14Speaker 2: I mean, Chad, I don't know if you know Chad's history.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I'm well aware.
- 1:18Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Of your reptilian tendencies.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unreal, the lack of fear for him, for
- 1:24Speaker 2: a guy like him.
- 1:25Speaker 6: He fears.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Have you ever been afraid of a snake, Chad?
- 1:29Speaker 5: I was in Indonesia, and there were some 18- and
- 1:33Speaker 5: 20-foot pythons. And to walk into a cage with an
- 1:38Speaker 5: animal that large, it was the first time in my
- 1:42Speaker 5: life I realized that. I could possibly be prey. But
- 1:46Speaker 5: outside of that circumstance, no, in a U.S. setting, I've
- 1:51Speaker 5: never been afraid of a reptile. It was in the
- 1:53Speaker 5: wilds of Indonesia where I thought, yeah, there's something out
- 1:56Speaker 5: here that could snatch me up and end my life quickly.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Okay, and I don't want to turn this into reptile hour.
- 2:03Speaker 2: But you're mowing the lawn, as I do. I love
- 2:05Speaker 2: mowing my lawn. And you're mowing along the fence line.
- 2:09Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, you happen upon a rattlesnake.
- 2:14Speaker 2: What do I do? What's my move? What do you do? Yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 2: what would your move be? What would your move be
- 2:21Speaker 2: in that situation?
- 2:22Speaker 5: Well, my move would be to go over there and
- 2:25Speaker 5: hopefully get that snake and move it to a safe place.
- 2:28Speaker 7: How?
- 2:28Speaker 6: Your move? How? Yeah.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Because I'm a skilled snake handler, I would get a
- 2:34Speaker 5: trash can or something and maneuver the snake into a
- 2:38Speaker 5: trash can. Rattlesnakes are typically pretty slow in their movements.
- 2:43Speaker 5: So to get a hoe or a shovel and pick
- 2:46Speaker 5: it up and put it into a trash can and
- 2:48Speaker 5: move it to a safe place would be very easy.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Oh, I can find a hoe.
- 2:52Speaker 5: Yeah. For you, you call animal control. Don't do anything
- 2:58Speaker 5: with a hoe or a shovel, any related tool set.
- 3:02Speaker 5: You call animal control and let the professionals handle that
- 3:05Speaker 5: for you, Dick.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 3:07Speaker 5: You're going to do something dumb and you're going to
- 3:10Speaker 5: hurt the animal or you're going to hurt yourself.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Correct.
- 3:13Speaker 6: Now, Chad.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Just call my wife and say, move this thing.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Yeah, true.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Chad, I want Vic to relay something to you that
- 3:20Speaker 4: he had an exchange yesterday.
- 3:22Speaker 3: And Vic, just give him what you heard.
- 3:24Speaker 6: Well, the word on the.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Street is that Sean Payton is going to take over
- 3:27Speaker 2: play calling duties. I did some due diligence, made some calls.
- 3:30Speaker 2: And it turns out that. There is a movement that's
- 3:32Speaker 2: going to be made, and I don't know the extent
- 3:35Speaker 2: of his play-calling duties. I don't know if he's going
- 3:37Speaker 2: to take full ownership of it, take a bigger role
- 3:39Speaker 2: in it. But something is a-popping at Dove Valley and
- 3:42Speaker 2: Bronco headquarters. Today we'll find out. Davis Webb, he has
- 3:46Speaker 2: turned to speak to the media. He will be asked
- 3:48Speaker 2: about this play-calling exchange. He will answer. I wonder how
- 3:54Speaker 2: much Sean Payton will take over the play-calling. But he's
- 3:57Speaker 2: taking over some of it today, Chad.
- 4:01Speaker 5: I'm not shocked with the ineffectiveness of the offense, but
- 4:04Speaker 5: you don't have to do a very deep dive into
- 4:06Speaker 5: Broncos tape to see that Bo Nix needs to release
- 4:09Speaker 5: the ball. There are certainly opportunities where he is in
- 4:12Speaker 5: the pocket, where the protection is good, and he's not
- 4:14Speaker 5: reading the routes down the field. There are receivers that
- 4:17Speaker 5: have gotten separation, and he's dumping the ball down. When
- 4:21Speaker 5: you have 214 yards of passing, but 180 of those
- 4:25Speaker 5: yards are yards after catch, that's an indicator that you're
- 4:28Speaker 5: not pushing the ball down the field. and becomes impossible
- 4:31Speaker 5: to operate your offense if your quarterback is constantly checking
- 4:35Speaker 5: it down. The safeties have no reason to stay back.
- 4:38Speaker 5: They can come up fast against the run. They know
- 4:41Speaker 5: nothing's going over their heads. So it compresses the run game.
- 4:44Speaker 5: It compresses the pass game. Your quarterback has to press
- 4:47Speaker 5: the defense and attack the defense. So maybe there is
- 4:51Speaker 5: a play-calling component to this, but I also see a
- 4:54Speaker 5: Bo Nix issue in this as well.
- 4:56Speaker 2: So how would a different voice in his ear? Let's
- 4:59Speaker 2: say Sean Payton does handle it. How would that change
- 5:02Speaker 2: what you just described?
- 5:05Speaker 8: Wow.
- 5:06Speaker 5: How would that change what I just described? You know,
- 5:09Speaker 5: the play caller has an opportunity to add things into
- 5:13Speaker 5: someone's ear other than just the play call. So if
- 5:17Speaker 5: Davis Webb is just... giving the play call and not
- 5:21Speaker 5: giving some kind of instruction on where he wants the
- 5:23Speaker 5: ball to go. Maybe Sean Payton assumes that's going to
- 5:26Speaker 5: be the difference. I'm going to call this particular play
- 5:29Speaker 5: spider Y2 banana, and I want you to hit the banana.
- 5:34Speaker 5: I don't know what that conversation was like with Sean
- 5:36Speaker 5: Payton and Bo Nix in the past, but if that's
- 5:38Speaker 5: the missing piece of some kind of prompt or instruction
- 5:42Speaker 5: to go where to go with the football, then maybe
- 5:46Speaker 5: that's the difference between that Sean Payton is looking to
- 5:48Speaker 5: include by taking over some of this.
- 5:50Speaker 4: You know, Chad Brown with us. All conversations with Chad
- 5:53Speaker 4: are brought to you by Surfside. 100 calories, 2 grams
- 5:55Speaker 4: of sugar, and zero bubbles. It's not a seltzer.
- 5:57Speaker 3: It's Surfside.
- 5:58Speaker 2: It's something that I thought about.
- 6:01Speaker 3: It's so odd to me.
- 6:03Speaker 4: And one thing is confirmed, if this is true, that
- 6:08Speaker 4: the decree given to give up play-calling duties did not
- 6:11Speaker 4: come above Sean Payton. Because if that happened, then he
- 6:13Speaker 4: wouldn't be taking them over four weeks into the season.
- 6:16Speaker 4: This was a Sean Payton decision, which leads to why
- 6:19Speaker 4: did he do it in the first place? If this
- 6:21Speaker 4: was going to be, if he was going to take
- 6:24Speaker 4: the reins back this quickly, especially given the fact that Chad,
- 6:27Speaker 4: they faced four of the best defenses in the NFL.
- 6:33Speaker 5: So I'm trying to accept Vic's birdies and what they've
- 6:37Speaker 5: told him, but I immediately have those same thoughts that
- 6:41Speaker 5: you just talked about. It seems very early in this experiment.
- 6:45Speaker 5: It seems if you were to give play calling up
- 6:47Speaker 5: to somebody that there's got to be more of a
- 6:50Speaker 5: window of opportunity there. You've got to– now often when
- 6:56Speaker 5: we see Sean on the sideline and the offense is
- 6:59Speaker 5: calling plays, Sean's got hands on knees. He doesn't seem
- 7:02Speaker 5: to be in constant communication with his play caller. So
- 7:07Speaker 5: I would think that would be an intermediate step rather
- 7:10Speaker 5: than you taking over.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:13Speaker 5: This series, let's keep it on the ground early. Let's
- 7:16Speaker 5: attack them on third down. I've heard Bill Cowher say
- 7:20Speaker 5: that to an offensive play caller, even though Bill Cowher
- 7:23Speaker 5: wasn't calling plays. I've heard Bill Belichick do that. So
- 7:28Speaker 5: I've heard all kinds of coaches give a play caller
- 7:31Speaker 5: a theme or some kind of level of instruction and
- 7:34Speaker 5: then still left the individual play caller up to the
- 7:37Speaker 5: play caller. So there's a middle part of that if
- 7:41Speaker 5: Sean Payton is truly taken back over play calling, that
- 7:44Speaker 5: would have been leaped over and been a common part
- 7:47Speaker 5: of my football experience in the past that they have
- 7:50Speaker 5: not done.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Chad Brown with us. I want to play a clip
- 7:52Speaker 4: from Bo Nix yesterday. He was talking about risk-taking. And
- 7:57Speaker 4: this is about 40 seconds, but I want you to
- 7:59Speaker 4: listen and get your response.
- 8:00Speaker 9: What does the play ask for? What situation in the
- 8:03Speaker 9: game are we? Are we in the fourth quarter to
- 8:05Speaker 9: where we're down by eight? It doesn't matter. I got
- 8:07Speaker 9: to do this anyway. yeah, then let's, let's do it.
- 8:10Speaker 9: But at the same time, we weren't in that situation.
- 8:12Speaker 9: Majority of the game to where it's just, you know,
- 8:14Speaker 9: all or nothing, let's just be dumb. So at the
- 8:17Speaker 9: same time is like, I want to be aggressive. I
- 8:19Speaker 9: want to be really when it's open, let's hit it.
- 8:22Speaker 9: But at the same time, I've been gotten too many
- 8:25Speaker 9: times trying to do too much in this day and
- 8:27Speaker 9: age in our offense. I don't have to be a
- 8:29Speaker 9: hero on every play. I don't have to do too much,
- 8:31Speaker 9: get the ball to RJ and he'll run for 20.
- 8:33Speaker 9: You know, that's just as good as sometimes throwing it
- 8:35Speaker 9: 20 yards in the air. I'm, Actively looking at it,
- 8:38Speaker 9: seeing where I can grow. But the labels and stuff,
- 8:41Speaker 9: that's where you can sort of get caught up in it.
- 8:44Speaker 9: And if you're not careful, turnovers may go through the roof,
- 8:48Speaker 9: and that's just not what I need to be doing.
- 8:50Speaker 3: What's your reaction to that?
- 8:54Speaker 5: I think that's an incomplete telling by Bo Nix. You
- 8:58Speaker 5: don't want to turn your quarterback into some gunslinger. You're
- 9:02Speaker 5: not looking for Jameis Winston-esque stats. not looking for 30
- 9:06Speaker 5: touchdown passes and 30 interceptions. But just as there's a
- 9:10Speaker 5: gray area between Davis Webb calling plays and Sean Payton
- 9:13Speaker 5: calling plays where they're in collaboration, there's a gray area
- 9:16Speaker 5: between Bo Nix becoming check down Charlie and Bo Nix
- 9:19Speaker 5: becoming a gunslinger. You have to press the ball downfield. Now,
- 9:23Speaker 5: sometimes it is smarter to take the safer dump down
- 9:27Speaker 5: and allow your athletes to run. But if RJ Harvey,
- 9:30Speaker 5: it keeps having 10 receptions a game, that's taking away
- 9:33Speaker 5: receptions for wide receivers. That's taken away the ability to
- 9:37Speaker 5: be aggressive with the defense and force them to respect
- 9:41Speaker 5: intermediate and deeper throws and keeps the safeties back. So, yeah,
- 9:46Speaker 5: it's not one or the other. We're not asking you,
- 9:49Speaker 5: Bo Nix, to be a gunslinger. We're asking you to,
- 9:53Speaker 5: on a couple of third downs, a half, press the defense,
- 9:57Speaker 5: throw the ball deep, get the defense to respect you.
- 10:00Speaker 5: which then opens up other things so you it doesn't
- 10:03Speaker 5: have to be one or the other there's another place
- 10:05Speaker 5: in the middle that we can go to and and
- 10:07Speaker 5: i think he's in that answer really stepping over that
- 10:11Speaker 5: and missing what i'm trying to communicate here Yeah, there's
- 10:15Speaker 5: an opportunity to do that. You don't have to press it.
- 10:18Speaker 5: We're not asking you to play it outside of yourself.
- 10:20Speaker 5: We're not asking you to take sacks and hold the
- 10:23Speaker 5: ball too long and put the ball in harm's way.
- 10:25Speaker 5: That's not what the request is. The request is, again,
- 10:29Speaker 5: if you've got 214 yards passing, 180 of those are
- 10:32Speaker 5: yards after catch, that means you didn't throw the ball
- 10:35Speaker 5: very far down the field, and it does not affect
- 10:37Speaker 5: the defense the same way a more aggressive approach would.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Last question on this topic and we'll move on. Again,
- 10:45Speaker 2: I've been told, good authority, that play calling duties are
- 10:49Speaker 2: shifting back towards Sean Payton. How much of those duties
- 10:51Speaker 2: remain to be seen? But I'm very interested today when
- 10:54Speaker 2: Davis Webb meets with the media. Nobody wants to be embarrassed.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Nobody wants to go through this. Nobody wants to be
- 11:00Speaker 2: put in the public light that, oh, it didn't. How
- 11:03Speaker 2: do you think he'll answer the question when he's asked
- 11:04Speaker 2: about play calling? Let's say that Sean Payton is taking
- 11:10Speaker 2: a bigger role in this. What does Davis Webb say?
- 11:15Speaker 5: I think he could accurately say the offense hasn't been
- 11:18Speaker 5: what we would hope it would be. That's an actual, factual,
- 11:22Speaker 5: true thing. And the offense has been the limiting part
- 11:27Speaker 5: of this football team so far. That's actual and true
- 11:30Speaker 5: as well. I'm a fan of coaches taking accountability. I
- 11:34Speaker 5: know there's a thing. with coaches and politicians and CEOs
- 11:39Speaker 5: where they step up and they spin things and they
- 11:41Speaker 5: try to present a different side rather than what we're
- 11:44Speaker 5: at with the question that's asked. So I love the
- 11:46Speaker 5: fact that coaches are willing to stand in front of
- 11:48Speaker 5: the media and some coaches are willing to take accountability.
- 11:51Speaker 5: And hopefully Davis Webb does. This would be a great
- 11:54Speaker 5: lesson for him. This would be a great feather in
- 11:57Speaker 5: his cap when he becomes a head coach eventually down
- 12:00Speaker 5: the line in this league, that that future owner goes, okay,
- 12:03Speaker 5: I like this guy. He's stepping up to the mic,
- 12:05Speaker 5: and he's taking accountability, and he's saying the truth here.
- 12:10Speaker 5: He doesn't have to say, I was awful. He can
- 12:12Speaker 5: just say the office wasn't what it would be. The
- 12:14Speaker 5: head coach is in charge, and he's decided to change things.
- 12:18Speaker 5: And I am going to, as my job, assist Sean
- 12:22Speaker 5: Payton and assist Bo Nix the absolute best way that
- 12:26Speaker 5: I can because my obligation is not to me and
- 12:28Speaker 5: to my glory. It's to the district.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Oh, we missed the very end of it.
- 12:38Speaker 2: It was going to be so good, too.
- 12:40Speaker 4: It was going to be good.
- 12:41Speaker 2: That was going to blow the top off this place.
- 12:44Speaker 2: It really was. We've got to get him back because
- 12:47Speaker 2: I've got to ask him about Prime on accountability. I
- 12:49Speaker 2: have to ask him about what's going on at CU.
- 12:52Speaker 4: As we try and get him back, Vic, one thing
- 12:54Speaker 4: that I heard from Chad Brown and both Bo Nix
- 12:57Speaker 4: and Sean Payton is there's a middle ground. to what
- 13:00Speaker 4: they're doing that they are just completely skipping over. There,
- 13:05Speaker 4: there is a Bo Nix doesn't need to be everything
- 13:09Speaker 4: or nothing at all.
- 13:10Speaker 3: There is a middle ground to that.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Sean Payton doesn't have to go from I'm calling the
- 13:15Speaker 4: plays now, or I'm not doing anything at all. There's,
- 13:20Speaker 4: there's a middle ground to both of these. Now it
- 13:22Speaker 4: looks like we got Chad back. So Chad, um, Vic
- 13:26Speaker 4: has another question here regarding college football.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned coaching accountability. How did it make you
- 13:31Speaker 2: feel after the most recent CU loss where the coach
- 13:34Speaker 2: met with the media afterwards and was asked what's wrong,
- 13:37Speaker 2: and he pointed to the quarterback?
- 13:40Speaker 5: That's a dereliction of coaching duty in my mind, a
- 13:43Speaker 5: dereliction of coaching duty. You are the coach. It falls
- 13:46Speaker 5: on you, particularly if you have said things like, I
- 13:49Speaker 5: handpicked every player on this roster. So if you're the
- 13:53Speaker 5: coach who's handpicked these players– and they don't perform up
- 13:56Speaker 5: to expectations, unfortunately, I think that's someplace where you should
- 13:59Speaker 5: take accountability. If I'm going to talk about Davis Webb
- 14:02Speaker 5: stepping to the mic and doing that, I would love
- 14:04Speaker 5: to see Coach Prime do that. And I did not
- 14:07Speaker 5: think that presser after the last game against Texas Tech
- 14:11Speaker 5: was him taking accountability at all. So very disappointing. And
- 14:16Speaker 5: particularly from a college standpoint, we're not looking to blame
- 14:19Speaker 5: the kids. You as a coach have to take that
- 14:22Speaker 5: responsibility there. That's got to be on your shoulders. it
- 14:26Speaker 5: was very ugly and unfortunate for me, and hopefully the
- 14:29Speaker 5: next press availability, there's a far more accountable tone from
- 14:34Speaker 5: Coach Prime.
- 14:34Speaker 4: It's also very weird that a guy makes his first
- 14:37Speaker 4: start for you, and you're forcing him to throw the
- 14:40Speaker 4: ball 44 times, and he runs the ball 17 times,
- 14:42Speaker 4: and you're saying that's his fault. That feels like a
- 14:44Speaker 4: lot on somebody's plate for a first start, number one.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Number two, what did you think about the playbook being found?
- 14:52Speaker 5: Well, before I get to the playbook, there's a clip
- 14:54Speaker 5: of coach prime at halftime saying, we're going to run
- 14:56Speaker 5: the ball down their throats. And then you go out
- 14:59Speaker 5: and I think you run the ball four times in the,
- 15:01Speaker 5: in the second half. So how is this connecting? How
- 15:05Speaker 5: is this adding up? How you're doing a proper to
- 15:08Speaker 5: this guy in your first start, as you just mentioned,
- 15:11Speaker 5: it has to be some kind of play call and accountability.
- 15:13Speaker 5: And then this is the playbook issue is one of
- 15:17Speaker 5: those details that is just so easily handled. Anytime anything
- 15:23Speaker 5: is handed out, it has the player's number on it
- 15:26Speaker 5: or the coach's initials on it. And then when we
- 15:29Speaker 5: get back together after our time at the hotel, those
- 15:33Speaker 5: things have to be turned in. And there is someone
- 15:35Speaker 5: on the staff who is responsible for checking all of
- 15:38Speaker 5: those off. This is not very difficult. This has been
- 15:42Speaker 5: a part of football since I was at CU when
- 15:46Speaker 5: we had paper playbooks. You handed those in on game day.
- 15:51Speaker 5: You handed those in after the preparation for the week.
- 15:55Speaker 5: So if your team is not doing some of these
- 15:58Speaker 5: basic football things that are conventional football wisdom to ensure
- 16:03Speaker 5: there's no lost playbooks, to ensure that there are not
- 16:08Speaker 5: eight or nine guys on the field, when you do
- 16:10Speaker 5: things counter to conventional football wisdom, you get counter to
- 16:14Speaker 5: conventional football wisdom results. And we've seen how those results
- 16:18Speaker 5: have gone for CU's offense and for CU's special teams.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Well, and I was just, sorry, last thing on this.
- 16:24Speaker 4: The special teams part is crazy because you don't have
- 16:26Speaker 4: a special teams coordinator, which I think they got to
- 16:29Speaker 4: be the only school in the country that doesn't have one.
- 16:31Speaker 4: But to have that, and then you have eight guys
- 16:34Speaker 4: out there on special teams, you have to call a timeout,
- 16:36Speaker 4: only to have nine guys out there afterwards is pretty nuts.
- 16:41Speaker 5: It's bananas. Not every team has a special teams coordinator.
- 16:44Speaker 5: When I was with the Buffs, we did not have
- 16:46Speaker 5: a special teams coordinator, but Coach McCartney himself coached the
- 16:51Speaker 5: punt team. And hey, no surprise. We were typically the
- 16:55Speaker 5: best punt team in the country.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Until you had to punt it to Rocket Ismail.
- 17:01Speaker 5: I was going to go there. But outside of that circumstance,
- 17:07Speaker 5: we were incredibly successful as a punt team. And that's
- 17:10Speaker 5: where Coach Matt got his confidence that, yeah, even if
- 17:12Speaker 5: we missed a kick, we could kick it to him
- 17:14Speaker 5: like Rocket and get him down. Because There were guys
- 17:16Speaker 5: who were starters covering those punts. I was a starter
- 17:20Speaker 5: at CU for four years. I was also a starter
- 17:22Speaker 5: at left guard on punt team for four years. So
- 17:24Speaker 5: Coach McCartney ensured that that was a very viable unit
- 17:27Speaker 5: because it was such an exchange of field position. So
- 17:32Speaker 5: you don't have to have a special team coordinator, but
- 17:34Speaker 5: the head coach has to be involved in some way
- 17:37Speaker 5: in special teams rather than Being upset on the sideline,
- 17:41Speaker 5: that's not the right number of guys on the field.
- 17:43Speaker 5: What unit are you coaching, Coach? Gary Barnett talked about
- 17:47Speaker 5: the same thing at his time at CU. He did
- 17:49Speaker 5: not have a special teams coordinator, but he personally coached
- 17:52Speaker 5: one of the four special teams units.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Who you got this week?
- 17:56Speaker 5: I am off this week, but next week I got
- 17:58Speaker 5: Ohio State at Indiana. Last week I had Ohio State
- 18:02Speaker 5: at Iowa. So Ohio State seems to be for real.
- 18:06Speaker 5: Julian's saying Indiana. Maybe playing some of the best quarterbacks.
- 18:09Speaker 6: In the country.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith.
- 18:11Speaker 5: He's better than just the best wide receiver in the country. Sorry,
- 18:14Speaker 5: Malachi Toney. He is the best football player in college
- 18:19Speaker 5: in this country.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Chad Brown.
- 18:20Speaker 4: He talks to us every single Thursday. Always appreciate it, Chad.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 18:24Speaker 5: Thanks, guys. Have a good one.
- 18:25Speaker 4: Texture said, when Chad's feed cut out, did he get
- 18:28Speaker 4: eaten by one of those pythons? Chad Brown joins us
- 18:33Speaker 4: every single Thursday. We will talk to Jeff.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Legwald at 9 o'clock. Stick around. It's a Nuggets ticket Thursday.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Club level seats to the home opener against the Pelicans
- 18:42Speaker 4: are up for grabs. Text Thomas with your first and
- 18:46Speaker 4: last name to 303-504-0925. Limited tickets still available for October
- 18:51Speaker 4: 24th at Nuggets.com slash tickets. But again, the key word
- 18:55Speaker 4: for this hour is Thomas. So we just talked to
- 18:58Speaker 4: Chad Brown. We'll talk to Jeff Laywald about this. Looks
- 19:02Speaker 4: like Sean Payton in some capacity is going to be
- 19:04Speaker 4: more involved within the offense. And we'll get there in
- 19:07Speaker 4: a second.
- 19:07Speaker 3: But Moj is joining us from Calgary.
- 19:09Speaker 6: Hi, Moj. What's up?
- 19:12Speaker 2: Got a cute little flowery room there, Moj. Good job
- 19:14Speaker 2: on the call last night. I know you had a
- 19:16Speaker 2: tough turnaround. So appreciate you joining us this morning.
- 19:20Speaker 6: Got to get used to that getting to the hotel
- 19:22Speaker 6: at like 1245, 1 a.m. thing, you know, kicking around
- 19:27Speaker 6: behind the TV, finding a way to hook up the
- 19:29Speaker 6: equipment and then going, oh yeah, I got to sleep
- 19:32Speaker 6: because I got to wake up in four hours. That's,
- 19:34Speaker 6: I got to get used to that again.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Well, can I, can I, Vic didn't want me to
- 19:38Speaker 4: say it, so I didn't say it. Can I say
- 19:42Speaker 4: the Avs got a little G'd last night?
- 19:46Speaker 6: Don't do it. I ain't going to do it either.
- 19:49Speaker 6: You know why? Because man, they got a little. Yeah, listen,
- 19:53Speaker 6: Skinner played well early. But, you know, you've got to
- 19:57Speaker 6: make your own breaks in a game like that. Winnipeg
- 19:59Speaker 6: is so top-heavy. They're a one-line team. And when the
- 20:03Speaker 6: one line for Winnipeg scores all three goals for them
- 20:06Speaker 6: and you got a minute to go in the game
- 20:08Speaker 6: and they got a partial rush on you, you know,
- 20:11Speaker 6: partial odd man rush and you don't gap up on
- 20:13Speaker 6: them quite the way you should. And you allow these
- 20:16Speaker 6: things to happen. You deserve your fate. And they'll learn
- 20:19Speaker 6: from that today. I'm sure this morning in meetings and
- 20:22Speaker 6: film and then have something to say about it against Calgary.
- 20:25Speaker 6: But that's just one of those, that's one of those
- 20:27Speaker 6: classic Vic hang around type of games. You can double
- 20:30Speaker 6: up shots. You can double up scoring chances. You can
- 20:32Speaker 6: double up this and that, and you can have, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 6: the better team, but unless you, Unless you play the
- 20:38Speaker 6: right way all the time, man, you're going to get
- 20:40Speaker 6: bit in the butt in this league.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I warned you about Connor, by the way. I don't
- 20:45Speaker 4: know what it is about that guy against the Avs.
- 20:47Speaker 4: He always makes plays.
- 20:49Speaker 6: He really does. You know, guys, he's such an underrated guy.
- 20:53Speaker 6: Coming into this year, he's got eight straight seasons of
- 20:57Speaker 6: 30 or more goals.
- 20:58Speaker 3: He's already at five.
- 21:00Speaker 6: Yeah, Riker thinks he's going to get to 50, and
- 21:02Speaker 6: he very well could. Now, listen, no offense to Winnipeg.
- 21:06Speaker 6: But if this guy played in New York or this
- 21:08Speaker 6: guy played in Denver or this guy played in, you know,
- 21:11Speaker 6: I mean, wherever, he would be an absolute star. And
- 21:16Speaker 6: he is. He really is. He's an all-star. People recognize
- 21:19Speaker 6: how good he is. But, again, he's just kind of
- 21:21Speaker 6: buried north of Minnesota in Winnipeg, and that's just how
- 21:25Speaker 6: it goes. But he's a damn good player, that guy.
- 21:28Speaker 2: It just feels like, man, at least a point would
- 21:32Speaker 2: have been sufficient last night to walk out of that
- 21:34Speaker 2: building– With nothing. And I know it's only game three.
- 21:38Speaker 2: You don't get frustrated this early in the season. But
- 21:42Speaker 2: why is it so hard to win there? Why is
- 21:44Speaker 2: it so hard for the Avs to get anything out
- 21:46Speaker 2: of Winnipeg?
- 21:47Speaker 6: Vic, I wish I knew. Listen, the last six trips
- 21:51Speaker 6: into that building, you've got seven goals. That's six games.
- 21:56Speaker 6: You got seven goals and you're one in five and
- 21:59Speaker 6: you're like, the hell's going on. But you recall 2024, man.
- 22:04Speaker 6: They went in there and they just spanked Hellebuck. Spanked
- 22:09Speaker 6: him and the Jets. And they put, you know, 5-6-7
- 22:12Speaker 6: on him. You recall that, right? And Val went crazy
- 22:15Speaker 6: at that time and so on and so forth. Postseason,
- 22:17Speaker 6: no problem. But in this regular season environment, even in Denver,
- 22:22Speaker 6: the Jets just present some sort of silly problem for
- 22:25Speaker 6: this Avalanche team. It's really weird, man. Weird.
- 22:27Speaker 4: You know, and I was thinking, Moj, Skinner is probably
- 22:31Speaker 4: highly motivated. to get things done this year. You know,
- 22:35Speaker 4: he finally, after years of being in Edmonton, shipped off
- 22:37Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh then says goodbye at the end of
- 22:40Speaker 4: the year. He looks at Winnipeg as, look, Hellebuck says
- 22:44Speaker 4: he wants out. He's suspended from the team. If I
- 22:46Speaker 4: play well, I could be here for a while.
- 22:48Speaker 6: You're damn right. You're exactly right. He's got an opportunity
- 22:52Speaker 6: right in front of him. And so he's, I'm sure,
- 22:55Speaker 6: highly motivated. And he's not a bad goalie. He's not junk.
- 22:59Speaker 6: I mean, he backstopped the team to two straight Stanley
- 23:01Speaker 6: Cup Finals. It's just that he ain't Hellebuck because Hellebuck
- 23:04Speaker 6: is super elite, but that ship has sailed. Hellebuck, he
- 23:09Speaker 6: ain't playing another game, I don't think, for the Winnipeg Jets.
- 23:13Speaker 6: The interesting part is that he hasn't reported. If he
- 23:18Speaker 6: chooses to report, they don't have to play him, but
- 23:23Speaker 6: they have the time that he was out, and they
- 23:26Speaker 6: have that same amount of time to get rid of him.
- 23:28Speaker 6: It's a really weird... It's not weird, but it's just
- 23:32Speaker 6: a really unique situation. And, look, you went in there
- 23:37Speaker 6: last night. I thought you needed to capitalize on your
- 23:39Speaker 6: chances early. Yeah. I mean, you were peppering him early
- 23:43Speaker 6: on in that game, and you had all these odd
- 23:44Speaker 6: man rushes and McKinnons flying around. You had a couple
- 23:47Speaker 6: of hit posts. Skinner made a couple of brilliant, I mean,
- 23:50Speaker 6: just reactive saves. The save on Marty Nates is where
- 23:52Speaker 6: it went off like his inside of his elbow. You know,
- 23:55Speaker 6: he just sort of flings and you're like, Damn, is
- 23:59Speaker 6: that the way it's going to be tonight? Sometimes you
- 24:01Speaker 6: just get that dang feeling. I hate it.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Kale rips one 102 miles an hour to start the game.
- 24:06Speaker 6: It's just like, here, eat this. You know, Vic, Bretzky, Nelly,
- 24:11Speaker 6: it's funny because watching games through all the years, you
- 24:15Speaker 6: can tell, I mean, just instantly when that puck has
- 24:18Speaker 6: tremendous heat on it. And I was like, whoa, holy crap.
- 24:22Speaker 6: I mean, it was a bomb, and he stepped into
- 24:24Speaker 6: it like a man. Moj. Yeah. Then all of a sudden, phew, blocker.
- 24:29Speaker 6: And it might have been just a reactionary blocker save, Vic,
- 24:31Speaker 6: but he made the save.
- 24:33Speaker 2: To give up the game winner that late in the
- 24:35Speaker 2: game always hurts. Just walk me through. What could Sam
- 24:39Speaker 2: Malinsky have done differently there?
- 24:41Speaker 6: Well, you've got the top line coming in, Vic. So
- 24:45Speaker 6: he's sort of drifting back a little bit into no
- 24:47Speaker 6: man's land. He can step up. I mean, he can
- 24:51Speaker 6: step up on Kyle Conner. And it's all timing play,
- 24:54Speaker 6: and it's all– And he tried to, at the last second,
- 24:58Speaker 6: get his stick on it. But part of the problem
- 25:00Speaker 6: is this. Kyle Conner is one of those guys who
- 25:03Speaker 6: can receive that pass and fire it like that. Not
- 25:07Speaker 6: a lot of guys can do it sort of all
- 25:09Speaker 6: in one motion, right? I mean, it's a very quick receive, shot,
- 25:14Speaker 6: kind of sliding to his right, short side. It's a really,
- 25:18Speaker 6: really high-end play. So I don't blame Malinsky if he
- 25:22Speaker 6: doesn't think that... that guy or, you know, the typical
- 25:27Speaker 6: guy can't do what Kyle Connor did. So he thinks
- 25:30Speaker 6: he's in a pretty good spot. Then he sort of,
- 25:33Speaker 6: he tried to go down, but Connor goes through his legs.
- 25:36Speaker 2: That's crazy. The pass I thought was just as impressive.
- 25:40Speaker 6: Yeah. It was Mark Shifley.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that was sick.
- 25:44Speaker 6: And again, they've got one scoring line for crying out
- 25:47Speaker 6: loud and that scoring line to counter for all three goals.
- 25:50Speaker 6: And it probably is going to have to throughout the
- 25:51Speaker 6: course of the season. So Molenski can gap up, Vic,
- 25:54Speaker 6: which means he can get on him quicker, right? But
- 25:56Speaker 6: he's sort of drifting back into normal. And I'm not
- 25:59Speaker 6: sure he expected that pass to come across, but you've
- 26:01Speaker 6: got to anticipate that from a guy like Shifley. And
- 26:04Speaker 6: that literally is the only line that can do that
- 26:05Speaker 6: on that team. So you have to have that situational
- 26:07Speaker 6: awareness at that time. He'll learn from it. The whole
- 26:10Speaker 6: team will learn from it. The pass could have been denied.
- 26:12Speaker 6: And it didn't, again, it's this Titanic. It didn't start
- 26:16Speaker 6: when Shifley came down the wall and made the pass.
- 26:18Speaker 6: It started back. in the Avs' offensive zone when you
- 26:22Speaker 6: were late getting out of the zone and the top
- 26:24Speaker 6: line for the Winnipeg Jets has a partial 3-on-2. Essentially,
- 26:29Speaker 6: a 3-on-2.5 is what it was. You need your rush
- 26:33Speaker 6: coverage to be better from the get-go coming out of
- 26:35Speaker 6: the offensive zone.
- 26:36Speaker 4: Well, the good news is tonight you take on Calgary,
- 26:39Speaker 4: the second leg of a back-to-back, which the Avs are
- 26:41Speaker 4: always good at, but also Calgary, who last year just
- 26:47Speaker 4: fell apart the second half of the season traded away
- 26:50Speaker 4: their guys, including cadre. Um, they have started this year. Oh,
- 26:56Speaker 4: and three being outscored 16 to three in three.
- 27:00Speaker 6: Yeah. Let me, uh, well, I don't want to cast
- 27:03Speaker 6: dispersions on anybody. They are not good.
- 27:08Speaker 3: They're terrible.
- 27:09Speaker 6: They are. They are. Listen, they got a new building
- 27:11Speaker 6: coming in. Um, They got a new building coming in
- 27:15Speaker 6: next year. So we've got two more games at the Saddledome.
- 27:17Speaker 6: I want to tell you what happened to me last night.
- 27:20Speaker 6: And this, for the first time, was a problem for
- 27:22Speaker 6: me before the game got started.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Is this a good story or a bad story?
- 27:27Speaker 6: I think it's probably a good story.
- 27:28Speaker 2: All right.
- 27:29Speaker 6: They've got some guys who I like. They've got, you know,
- 27:32Speaker 6: Morgan Frost, and they've got Matt Coronado, and they've got
- 27:35Speaker 6: Farabee and Backlund and Sharon Govich. Okay, fine. But mostly guys,
- 27:39Speaker 6: these are guys who have no business being a top
- 27:42Speaker 6: line in the league.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Okay.
- 27:44Speaker 6: They just don't.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:46Speaker 6: If their number one center is Morgan Frost, they're going
- 27:47Speaker 6: to lose a lot of games. And no offense to
- 27:49Speaker 6: Morgan Frost, but on the abs, he'd be a three
- 27:52Speaker 6: at best. You know what I mean? Okay. So, and
- 27:56Speaker 6: Dustin Wolfe is their goalie, and he's proven to be
- 27:59Speaker 6: good in the past, but you need to pace him tonight.
- 28:01Speaker 6: I mean, this is no holds barred. You need to
- 28:04Speaker 6: stick it to him. Huberto's out. Hubie Dupes, he's been
- 28:08Speaker 6: beat up since he got there. All right, so let
- 28:11Speaker 6: me explain. You've got to do the turnaround for the camera, right, Vic?
- 28:17Speaker 6: You've got to do your turnaround. You've got to talk
- 28:18Speaker 6: to the studio and that sort of thing. But where
- 28:21Speaker 6: we sit, the desk is about this wide. It's less
- 28:25Speaker 6: than a foot, okay, at Winnipeg and Calgary. And there's
- 28:30Speaker 6: a little plastic railing. But if you fall behind you,
- 28:35Speaker 6: you fall literally 150 feet straight down into the stands.
- 28:37Speaker 6: Like if I leaned back and fell over, I would die.
- 28:40Speaker 6: You'd fall just straight into the stands. I can't get
- 28:45Speaker 6: it out of my head when I'm turned around, so
- 28:46Speaker 6: I lean forward because I'm scared. Again, I'm thinking to myself,
- 28:54Speaker 6: the headline, it finally happened in Winnipeg. The bench broke
- 28:59Speaker 6: and the guys fell out of the booth into the stands.
- 29:02Speaker 6: I lean forward, but as I do that, I'm propping
- 29:05Speaker 6: myself up with my legs, but I've got to do
- 29:06Speaker 6: that for about seven minutes. At the end, my legs
- 29:10Speaker 6: are literally shaking. Not only am I scared, but they've
- 29:13Speaker 6: just been propping me up for so long right in
- 29:16Speaker 6: that weird position so we do the turnaround to then
- 29:21Speaker 6: start the game but my legs are still shaking and
- 29:23Speaker 6: my nervous system is still going like this because I
- 29:25Speaker 6: I'm afraid of heights I can fly an airplane but
- 29:27Speaker 6: I'm afraid of heights it's a really weird dynamic and
- 29:31Speaker 6: so I'm like I'm trying to get the words out
- 29:34Speaker 6: to go to the national anthems and the same thing
- 29:38Speaker 6: I'm sure will happen tonight in Calgary because it's even worse. Oh,
- 29:41Speaker 6: my God.
- 29:41Speaker 2: It's still going.
- 29:41Speaker 6: It's still going.
- 29:43Speaker 2: That's a hell of a story.
- 29:44Speaker 6: It's an even worse booth. And I just, I can't
- 29:48Speaker 6: get it out of my head. It scares me to death, dudes.
- 29:51Speaker 6: I need a harness.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Now, let me tell you a little story of my
- 29:54Speaker 2: own after we heard your story.
- 29:56Speaker 6: Yeah, great story, huh?
- 29:58Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 29:58Speaker 2: No, it's a good story.
- 29:59Speaker 6: It's a quality story. Yeah, yeah.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Um, you've met my beautiful boy, my beautiful baby boy.
- 30:06Speaker 6: Right, Moshe?
- 30:07Speaker 2: You've met my beautiful boy.
- 30:08Speaker 6: Of course. Many, many, many, many, many, many times.
- 30:10Speaker 2: How would you characterize him? He's a good kid, right?
- 30:13Speaker 6: Good kid. Oh, Dante's a great kid. Yeah, he's a
- 30:15Speaker 6: great kid. Very respectful kid. Yeah, he's very respectful. He's
- 30:18Speaker 6: a good kid. He texted the family chat last night.
- 30:21Speaker 6: Sent me a picture of you. He's got a dumb cat,
- 30:24Speaker 6: but he's a good kid.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Sent me a picture of you and sent a text, said,
- 30:28Speaker 2: Why is Mosher rocking that crazy soul patch? So, Mike,
- 30:33Speaker 2: this isn't me. This isn't me because, you know, I
- 30:36Speaker 2: pick on you a lot. This is my good kid.
- 30:38Speaker 6: This is a cool kid.
- 30:39Speaker 2: This is an objective, cool kid.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Good-looking lawyer kid who has now called you out.
- 30:47Speaker 6: It's coming off today.
- 30:50Speaker 2: We go through this all the time.
- 30:53Speaker 4: But, Moj, Moj, maybe you keep it for one more
- 30:55Speaker 4: game in case you do take a header over that
- 30:57Speaker 4: to your death.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Maybe your soul patch can flap in the wind on
- 31:00Speaker 3: the way down.
- 31:01Speaker 6: Parachute down with my soul patch. That mother trucker's coming
- 31:05Speaker 6: off as soon as I shower for the game today.
- 31:08Speaker 6: Because as soon as this show is done, I'm going
- 31:10Speaker 6: back to bed.
- 31:10Speaker 2: We do this all the time. I'm just curious.
- 31:13Speaker 6: It's coming off. We belittle you.
- 31:15Speaker 2: We have fun. And then you grow it back. Why
- 31:17Speaker 2: do you grow it back?
- 31:19Speaker 6: I was brushing my teeth last night. I don't know, Vic.
- 31:22Speaker 6: I don't know. I was brushing my teeth last night
- 31:23Speaker 6: trying to get to sleep at like 1.30 in the morning.
- 31:26Speaker 6: And I looked at it. And what it looks like
- 31:28Speaker 6: is it's about a collection of six or seven daddy
- 31:32Speaker 6: long legs stuck to my face backwards. So their legs
- 31:37Speaker 6: are going out like this. Right. It looks atrocious. It
- 31:42Speaker 6: looks ridiculous. It's coming off.

- 32:25Speaker 1: With Mosher Lombardi and Kane. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. I
- 32:29Speaker 1: like turtles.
- 32:32Speaker 6: Oh, by the way.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Stories around sports in the world we feel like you
- 32:35Speaker 4: should be aware of.
- 32:36Speaker 3: We'll get back to the.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Sean Payton potentially taking over play-calling duties thing here in
- 32:42Speaker 4: a little bit with Jeff Legwald.
- 32:44Speaker 3: But can I start with CU?
- 32:46Speaker 4: Bomani Jones on his podcast was talking about Deion, saying
- 32:52Speaker 4: that his days are numbered, he thinks.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Here you go.
- 32:55Speaker 2: This isn't going to work.
- 32:56Speaker 3: That's how I feel, is that this is not going
- 32:59Speaker 3: to work.
- 32:59Speaker 5: He hasn't covered himself in glory. He doesn't have a
- 33:02Speaker 5: special teams coordinator.
- 33:03Speaker 6: How?
- 33:03Speaker 9: How?
- 33:04Speaker 2: How?
- 33:05Speaker 7: I've never heard of a team in modern times not
- 33:08Speaker 7: having a special teams coordinator.
- 33:09Speaker 5: Why would you not do that?
- 33:11Speaker 7: That's a job we have to fill.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Who's doing that?
- 33:15Speaker 7: And that's why they was out there with eight dudes.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Eight people last week, man.
- 33:19Speaker 2: So they had to call a timeout. And then they
- 33:20Speaker 2: went out of the field again with the wrong number
- 33:22Speaker 2: of people, right?
- 33:23Speaker 6: Nine, yeah, right.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Who are these other two people?
- 33:26Speaker 3: Is it the dudes that he kicked.
- 33:28Speaker 7: Off the team for laughing?
- 33:30Speaker 2: That's one part of it.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Listen to this real quick.
- 33:33Speaker 5: Travis Hunter and Shador covered up a lot of flaws
- 33:36Speaker 5: within that program, right? That's how good of players they are.
- 33:38Speaker 7: I know people can * * * * on Shador now,
- 33:40Speaker 7: but he was a very good college quarterback.
- 33:42Speaker 3: But my other thing is that, man, everybody fails at
- 33:44Speaker 3: Colorado now.
- 33:45Speaker 5: That's not a good job anymore.
- 33:46Speaker 7: He was in a position when they were in the
- 33:49Speaker 7: Big 12 and before the money really got rolling that
- 33:52Speaker 7: the presence of Deion Sanders gave them a comparative advantage.
- 33:57Speaker 7: And that comparative advantage is gone.
- 33:59Speaker 3: I think that is the most important point of this.
- 34:03Speaker 4: I think Dion, when he got here, pre-NIL, would have
- 34:09Speaker 4: been a lot better because you weren't competing with money
- 34:13Speaker 4: so much as trying to attract just people in the
- 34:16Speaker 4: transfer portal. Once money got thrown into the equation, it
- 34:20Speaker 4: negated a lot of the assets that he had.
- 34:23Speaker 2: You're so right. You're so right. His currency was his personality.
- 34:27Speaker 6: Correct.
- 34:28Speaker 2: His motivation. his ability to lead men, that was.
- 34:31Speaker 3: The currency he used.
- 34:32Speaker 6: Being cool? Exactly right.
- 34:34Speaker 2: The currency is now replaced by actual currency. You're so right.
- 34:37Speaker 2: The game changed, and it happened in light speed.
- 34:41Speaker 4: So anyway, that's what Monty Jones' thoughts on it, and
- 34:43Speaker 4: I tend to agree.
- 34:45Speaker 6: That's pretty interesting. The winning has to take over, and
- 34:48Speaker 6: if you don't have an advantage because of the name
- 34:51Speaker 6: and so on, then something has to give. By the way, Nelly,
- 34:56Speaker 6: I just sent you something. If you could bring that
- 34:59Speaker 6: up for when I do my part, I would appreciate
- 35:01Speaker 6: it very, very much. And you can get to the chorus.
- 35:02Speaker 2: That's fine. Oh, by the way, I've got to know,
- 35:04Speaker 2: by the way, for you. Everybody has sort of that play,
- 35:09Speaker 2: sort of that act during a game that they try
- 35:11Speaker 2: to mimic when you're a kid, right? The Jordan dunk.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I mean, me living above the rim, I'm always attempting
- 35:18Speaker 2: the Jordan dunk from the free throw line during dunk hoops.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Everybody tries that play.
- 35:24Speaker 6: There's going to come a day when you just can't
- 35:26Speaker 6: do that anymore.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Nikola Jokic, Nikola Jokic Moshe has gotten to that day. Yesterday,
- 35:33Speaker 2: Houston Rockets players, before one of their games or at
- 35:36Speaker 2: their practice, were attempting the Nikola Jokic pass. And I'm
- 35:40Speaker 2: looking at this video saying, you know you've arrived when
- 35:43Speaker 2: other professional athletes are on video trying what you did
- 35:47Speaker 2: during an actual game. They're doing it during practice. The
- 35:52Speaker 2: behind-the-back length of the baseline pass, and all of them
- 35:56Speaker 2: tried it, but none of them really accomplished it like
- 35:58Speaker 2: Joker did on a whim. That's when you know you're
- 36:02Speaker 2: big time. It is crazy.
- 36:04Speaker 4: And to see them struggling to try and pull it
- 36:07Speaker 4: off in practice is hilarious to me. This guy did
- 36:11Speaker 4: it in-game, now preseason, but still, he could have done
- 36:14Speaker 4: that in any regular season game.
- 36:16Speaker 3: They can't do it in practice. Oh, by the way.
- 36:20Speaker 4: There's supposed to be some weather this weekend in the
- 36:24Speaker 4: Giants game. The Giants are a 3-1 football team. Jameis
- 36:27Speaker 4: Winston has won two consecutive games in place of Jackson Dart.
- 36:32Speaker 4: Jameis Winston was asked about the weather on Sunday, how
- 36:35Speaker 4: he's going to deal with it.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Would you guys like to hear Jameis?
- 36:38Speaker 2: I always do.
- 36:39Speaker 6: I always want to hear Jameis, everything about him.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Are you aware of the weather forecast for Sunday? Could
- 36:45Speaker 2: be stormy. Today is beautiful. The sun is shining.
- 36:51Speaker 8: The birds are chirping. I can only focus on now.
- 36:56Speaker 8: Right now, it's a beautiful day. When Sunday comes, I'll
- 37:01Speaker 8: still be glad and rejoicing in the day that God
- 37:03Speaker 8: gives us.
- 37:04Speaker 7: It's important to note that when he was answering that
- 37:07Speaker 7: question about how it was beautiful weather outside, he started
- 37:09Speaker 7: gazing off Into the distance.
- 37:11Speaker 6: Yes.
- 37:12Speaker 2: In an inside area, in a building.
- 37:14Speaker 6: With a roof. In 100 years, people will look back
- 37:18Speaker 6: and say, Jameis Winston was the greatest philosopher of our generation,
- 37:22Speaker 6: of that generation. Listen, I saw this, and Ellie, I
- 37:26Speaker 6: hope you have it up. You guys will appreciate this.
- 37:29Speaker 6: I didn't realize it, but I may have to become
- 37:32Speaker 6: an Iowa Hawkeye fan now.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Because?
- 37:37Speaker 6: Because they have a band called... Van Halen.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Huh?
- 37:44Speaker 6: It's a Van Halen cover band dedicated to the memory
- 37:47Speaker 6: of former Iowa coach Hayden Fry. And they take Van
- 37:51Speaker 6: Halen songs and they turn them into Iowa Hawkeye songs.
- 37:55Speaker 6: Like Panama, which is now Iowa. Iowa. If he can
- 38:03Speaker 6: get it. Go ahead and punt. Come on and punt.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Come on and punt is really funny, actually.
- 38:20Speaker 6: That's great. The Panama song is Iowa, Iowa. Anyway, they
- 38:28Speaker 6: have what's called the tailgate tour. So they tailgate at
- 38:32Speaker 6: Iowa Hawkeyes games. They tailgate around Iowa City and all
- 38:35Speaker 6: that kind of thing. And they all look like Hayden Fry.
- 38:38Speaker 6: They all look, they have the mustache and the glasses.
- 38:41Speaker 2: I'm so glad I wasn't paying attention during that.
- 38:44Speaker 3: It is actually pretty good.
- 38:46Speaker 4: Hey, you guys off the top of your head, name
- 38:49Speaker 4: me some teams that can win the Super Bowl this
- 38:50Speaker 4: year in the AFC.
- 38:52Speaker 6: Bills, Broncos, Chiefs.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Keep going.
- 38:56Speaker 2: I think Jacks.
- 38:57Speaker 6: Jacks.
- 38:58Speaker 3: Jacks are a great answer.
- 39:00Speaker 6: I think Ravens have a chance.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Here's what's interesting.
- 39:04Speaker 4: Imagine you have a team that is good enough to
- 39:06Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl, and the Jags certainly have that.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Good defense, great offense.
- 39:12Speaker 2: And for the.
- 39:12Speaker 4: Next two years, 26 of 30 games are played away
- 39:18Speaker 4: from your home stadium in Jacksonville.
- 39:20Speaker 6: That's so weird.
- 39:22Speaker 3: That's pretty tough.
- 39:23Speaker 4: Like, Jacksonville's finally got a team that they're like, hey,
- 39:27Speaker 4: we got something cooking here.
- 39:28Speaker 6: And because.
- 39:30Speaker 4: they're building the new stadium and all the games that
- 39:32Speaker 4: they play in London, 26 of their next 30 are
- 39:35Speaker 4: away from Jacksonville.
- 39:37Speaker 3: That's crazy.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's stupid. All right, I got one.
- 39:40Speaker 6: Wait, where are they going to play home games outside
- 39:43Speaker 6: of London?
- 39:45Speaker 3: I think it's Orlando. I'll check on that.
- 39:48Speaker 6: But I think it's Orlando.
- 39:48Speaker 2: Are they not playing in.
- 39:52Speaker 2: The Swamp?
- 39:54Speaker 6: Gators? Are they playing in Gainesville? Are they really? Maybe.
- 39:58Speaker 6: I don't know. But I do know that they sort
- 40:00Speaker 6: of take that as a badge of honor. Kind of
- 40:02Speaker 6: an all-for-one, one-for-all type of idea.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I got to know, by the way, while you look
- 40:05Speaker 2: that up. Only Mosier and I can truly appreciate this.
- 40:09Speaker 2: All right? We're the only ones. This might be the
- 40:12Speaker 2: greatest substitution stint in the history of broadcast. I've had
- 40:18Speaker 2: to sub at times. doing play-by-play for Nuggets. Back when
- 40:21Speaker 2: Marlo would get sick on occasion, I'd have to sub. Some,
- 40:24Speaker 2: at times, only had like two hours notice, right?
- 40:27Speaker 6: Whatever.
- 40:27Speaker 2: You go in, you do the job. Moj, I'm sure
- 40:30Speaker 2: you've had to sub to do things, right?
- 40:32Speaker 6: I did. I had to do game one of the
- 40:34Speaker 6: Stanley Cup final between the Avs and the Tampa Bay
- 40:37Speaker 6: Lightning because E.J. Raddick, his kid had a graduation, so
- 40:41Speaker 6: they asked me to fill in with Kevin Weeks.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Kenny Albert, a veteran broadcaster, Had to sub for Joe
- 40:48Speaker 2: Davis in the National League Division Series a couple nights ago.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Joe Davis' voice went away. It just went bad. So
- 40:54Speaker 2: they called Kenny Albert.
- 40:56Speaker 6: One problem.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Kenny Albert had begun his prep for a colonoscopy. Now,
- 41:03Speaker 2: only two of us on this show understand what prep
- 41:05Speaker 2: for a colonoscopy entails.
- 41:07Speaker 6: I do.
- 41:08Speaker 2: And I'm wondering right now how deep into that prep
- 41:11Speaker 2: he was. Because if you're prepping young people, if you're prepping...
- 41:16Speaker 2: You ain't going to be able to sit there and
- 41:18Speaker 2: call a baseball game. You'll be able to sit there.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Sit somewhere else, maybe.
- 41:25Speaker 3: How did he do.
- 41:26Speaker 6: That, Moj? I do not know. I guess it depends
- 41:30Speaker 6: on what part of the prep he was in. By
- 41:35Speaker 6: the way, I will say this. First of all, it's
- 41:39Speaker 6: not as bad as it used to be, only because
- 41:41Speaker 6: the juice tastes better than it did before, but it's
- 41:45Speaker 6: still horrible. I am never as hungry in my entire
- 41:49Speaker 6: life ever for anything as I am after my colonoscopy
- 41:54Speaker 6: is done and I finally get to eat again because
- 41:58Speaker 6: I will go to Chili's and I will eat everything
- 42:00Speaker 6: on the frigging menu, dude, like a pig.
- 42:04Speaker 2: I go to Denny's, you know, and I'm not, oh,
- 42:06Speaker 2: I just go to, I go to town.
- 42:08Speaker 6: Oh, dude, it's like your whole body.
- 42:10Speaker 2: You can't eat for two days, Brett. You know what
- 42:13Speaker 2: that's like?
- 42:14Speaker 6: It sucks. Brett, do you know what it's like?
- 42:17Speaker 5: No.
- 42:20Speaker 4: By the way, just to get an answer on this,
- 42:22Speaker 4: because they're doing a $ 1. 4 billion renovation to the stadium
- 42:25Speaker 4: in Jacksonville, they're driving two hours south to play at
- 42:29Speaker 4: Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
- 42:32Speaker 6: Okay, that's what it is. Oh, by the way, who's
- 42:36Speaker 6: the guy I hate the most on the PGA Tour?
- 42:39Speaker 2: Patrick Reed.
- 42:41Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he's... coming on out and talking. He's trying
- 42:44Speaker 6: to get back to the PGA Tour. You know, he
- 42:45Speaker 6: spent the last year on the European Tour, the DP
- 42:47Speaker 6: World Tour. And he played pretty good. But he says,
- 42:53Speaker 6: I just let my clubs do the talking.
- 43:00Speaker 2: That angered you, didn't it? That angers me.
- 43:04Speaker 6: Every fiber of my....
- 43:07Speaker 1: Okay.
- 43:07Speaker 6: Okay. I got one. I shouldn't, Vic, I shouldn't let
- 43:11Speaker 6: another human whom I don't know affect my psyche the
- 43:14Speaker 6: way it does. But I just, everything about that, dude.
- 43:17Speaker 6: I got one.
- 43:17Speaker 2: And I've suddenly become a Drake May enthusiast. Oh, by
- 43:22Speaker 2: the way.
- 43:22Speaker 6: Really?
- 43:22Speaker 2: I'm a Drake May fan all of a sudden. He
- 43:25Speaker 2: was quoted as saying, and I don't know if he
- 43:27Speaker 2: was saying this in jest, tongue in cheek. I have
- 43:29Speaker 2: no idea. I'm just going to tell you what he
- 43:30Speaker 2: was saying. He was asked about moon landings and space
- 43:33Speaker 2: and all that business. And he doesn't believe that humans
- 43:37Speaker 2: actually have gone to the moon and landed on it.
- 43:39Speaker 2: He says, quote, I don't know about the moon. I
- 43:41Speaker 2: think I could see back in the day why we
- 43:43Speaker 2: would put on the mask if we went there, but
- 43:46Speaker 2: I'm not really sure 200% if we went there or not.
- 43:50Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I'm leaning one way or the other.
- 43:52Speaker 2: I just know I'm very skeptical about it. I mean,
- 43:55Speaker 2: we see all these photos from the moon and stuff.
- 43:58Speaker 6: Come on, man.
- 43:59Speaker 2: And space and Mars.
- 44:02Speaker 6: That's a long way.
- 44:04Speaker 2: You know, I'm watching movies. I'm watching movies with Ryan,
- 44:10Speaker 2: what's his name again? Gosling. Gosling and a rock. And
- 44:15Speaker 2: how much of this is make-believe?
- 44:17Speaker 6: Hey, Kyrie, Kyrie, why don't you just take the rest
- 44:21Speaker 6: of the show off, okay? I'm here now. Daddy's here.
- 44:24Speaker 3: Nobody's explaining to me what the point is.
- 44:26Speaker 6: Daddy's here to pet your little head. Don't even get
- 44:28Speaker 6: into this conspiracy trap.
- 44:29Speaker 4: When the ball got knocked out of Drake May's hand.
- 44:33Speaker 4: I just, I don't understand what's the point of doing
- 44:35Speaker 4: the lie.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Just to show people that there's room for growth when
- 44:39Speaker 2: we get overburdened here and we have to move.
- 44:42Speaker 6: You can't move to the moon. You're telling me the
- 44:46Speaker 6: moon rocks that I've touched at the Smithsonian many, many times.
- 44:50Speaker 6: I've had this conversation with you guys. Those actually came
- 44:52Speaker 6: from your backyard dug up when you were building a deck.
- 44:54Speaker 6: They got a moon rock at Wings Over the Rockies.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Again, I don't know how many times I have to
- 44:58Speaker 2: have this conversation with you guys. If somebody said to
- 45:00Speaker 2: me today, Vic, we're going to give you a choice.
- 45:04Speaker 6: You get to decide.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Go to the moon today with our astronauts and just
- 45:08Speaker 2: check it out. I mean, it's a rare opportunity. Or
- 45:12Speaker 2: you play 18 holes at the worst Muni in town.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Gimme golf every day. It's not even close. What the
- 45:19Speaker 2: hell am I going to do up there? What am
- 45:21Speaker 2: I going to do?
- 45:22Speaker 7: What?
- 45:23Speaker 4: Let's get some info on what's going to happen this weekend.
- 45:25Speaker 4: Really at 2 o'clock for this press conference with Davis Webb.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Jeff Lightwell joins us next.
