- 0:00Speaker 1: It's a Rally House Football Monday on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5
- 0:03Speaker 1: Rally House shop every team in town. Before we move on,
- 0:08Speaker 1: I need to say something. Something I've become obsessed with.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Yeah, and I gotta take issue with something you said
- 0:12Speaker 2: in the previous segment.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Me?
- 0:15Speaker 2: Yeah, but go on. Say your something.
- 0:19Speaker 4: I have an addictive personality.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It's why I've stayed away from many things in my
- 0:24Speaker 1: life because I know if I do something, I will
- 0:26Speaker 1: just continue to do it.
- 0:27Speaker 4: It happens with everything. It happens at this job.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I give you the lions.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Yes. Brett, Brett, try this crack.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I would be the worst Breaking Bad character you've ever seen.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Okay?
- 0:42Speaker 1: It's just my personality. I can't shake it. I now
- 0:46Speaker 1: have a new addiction. And I want you guys to
- 0:49Speaker 1: indulge my addiction. Anytime you come across this, I need
- 0:52Speaker 1: you to send it to me. Anyone who finds the
- 0:58Speaker 1: team that lost on the outstanding Tiny Desk concert where
- 1:03Speaker 1: they AI the people.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Oh, that's so funny.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Any one of those you find, send them to me.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I want to watch all of them.
- 1:09Speaker 2: I can't get enough of them. You see, Mosier is
- 1:14Speaker 2: completely lost in social media.
- 1:15Speaker 4: Okay, you know the song Outstanding? We played it last week.
- 1:17Speaker 4: It's by the Gap Band.
- 1:18Speaker 3: It's Charlie Wilson.
- 1:19Speaker 2: It's a big trend. It's a big trend going on
- 1:21Speaker 2: right now.
- 1:21Speaker 4: Outstanding. Girl, you knock me out.
- 1:25Speaker 3: That song.
- 1:26Speaker 2: They did it with the BYU team, and it was
- 1:28Speaker 2: so funny. It was so good. If you're a member
- 1:31Speaker 2: of a losing team or coaching staff, whatever, they put
- 1:34Speaker 2: this group together. Mosier, you're missing out. I don't know
- 1:38Speaker 2: you know what you're talking about.
- 1:38Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about. I know
- 1:40Speaker 3: you do. I know you do. Well, how can I
- 1:41Speaker 3: not know?
- 1:41Speaker 2: You're 114 years old.
- 1:42Speaker 1: This is going to be bad because I'm just doing
- 1:44Speaker 1: it through the phone, but this is after the Packers lost.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Somebody did this.
- 1:49Speaker 2: It's all AI.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:50Speaker 4: But it's Jordan Love's in the background. All those videos.
- 1:53Speaker 3: You're talking about when Vrabel.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And Diana Rossini was on the sacks.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Any one of those that you find, send them to
- 2:00Speaker 1: me because I am obsessed with these.
- 2:02Speaker 4: I will watch all of them.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Okay, can I challenge what you said in the earlier segment?
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:06Speaker 4: I don't even remember what I said, so please.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You talked about parodying college football and losing here and there.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I believe the parody is... You said, is the Big
- 2:15Speaker 2: 12 any good? Is anybody in the Big 12 good? Well,
- 2:18Speaker 2: I can say the same thing about any conference.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Well, that's my point.
- 2:21Speaker 4: I said that about the Big 10, too.
- 2:23Speaker 2: And the SEC.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Miami's pretty good, dude.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Well, who have they played?
- 2:27Speaker 3: Well, no, I understand, but I mean... Yeah, I understand
- 2:30Speaker 3: what you're saying. Ohio State's pretty good, dude.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Who is Miami played?
- 2:35Speaker 3: Nobody.
- 2:36Speaker 2: So before we reserve judgment on who's good, let's.
- 2:39Speaker 3: And that's what I'm getting at. You're going to get
- 2:42Speaker 3: a real opportunity with Catholics versus convicts again. You're going
- 2:45Speaker 3: to get a real chance. I know.
- 2:46Speaker 2: By the way, you can't show up with that shirt anymore.
- 2:48Speaker 2: That used to be a thing. You can't do that. Well,
- 2:52Speaker 2: good luck with that. Anyway, I'm going to ask you
- 2:55Speaker 2: this question, Brett. What's a more acceptable loss for you?
- 2:59Speaker 2: BYU losing on the road to an unranked Central Florida
- 3:05Speaker 2: or Georgia losing at home to an unranked Auburn?
- 3:15Speaker 1: I know what it's going to be. I mean, the
- 3:17Speaker 1: more acceptable one is going to be Georgia. I would
- 3:20Speaker 1: probably agree because UCF.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Is awful, man.
- 3:22Speaker 4: They're bad.
- 3:23Speaker 2: What's Auburn?
- 3:25Speaker 4: Auburn is not as good, but UCF is worse than
- 3:29Speaker 4: what Auburn is.
- 3:31Speaker 2: But one team lost at home. The other one lost
- 3:34Speaker 2: on the road, though.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I get it. And?
- 3:40Speaker 4: I don't know what to say.
- 3:41Speaker 2: But, see, you're falling into that practice is what I'm saying. Oh, well,
- 3:45Speaker 2: it's the SEC.
- 3:46Speaker 1: If Auburn played UCF, I think Auburn would beat UCF.
- 3:49Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way I do the math there. Now, again,
- 3:51Speaker 1: because it's college football and that's how we have to
- 3:53Speaker 1: do things, and I hate it that way, I don't know.
- 3:55Speaker 4: I don't know is the proper answer.
- 3:58Speaker 2: That's the beauty of this season. We don't know about anybody.
- 4:02Speaker 2: We don't know about anybody. There's no dominant team. There's
- 4:05Speaker 2: going to be a one-loss, two-loss champion.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Guaranteed. I'll tell you what I think is kind of funny.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Tennessee at home beat Alabama last week, and they got
- 4:16Speaker 3: fined 500 grand that they have to pay to Alabama
- 4:19Speaker 3: because their fans stormed the field. Tennessee lost at South
- 4:23Speaker 3: Carolina this week, and they're going to get 500 grand
- 4:27Speaker 3: from South Carolina because their fans stormed the field. So
- 4:30Speaker 3: the volunteers are sort of breaking even. I mean, they
- 4:32Speaker 3: aren't sort of. They're breaking even here.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Yeah, college football is really tough this year, really tough.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Because I think everyone can get got. I think Miami. Look,
- 4:44Speaker 1: Miami gets to tap the undefeated record. But it's what
- 4:47Speaker 1: you said, Vic. They haven't really played anybody. I think
- 4:49Speaker 1: the next two weeks will give you a better understanding.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I think that the game they have coming up at
- 4:54Speaker 1: North Carolina is not going to be easy. I bet
- 4:56Speaker 1: they get tested in that game. And then they have
- 4:59Speaker 1: Notre Dame after that.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Four things I saw from the Broncos game that stand out.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Can I give you four? Please. Number one. And we
- 5:08Speaker 2: haven't talked about this yet. That felt like a home
- 5:10Speaker 2: game for the Broncos. Did you see how much orange
- 5:12Speaker 2: was in that stadium?
- 5:13Speaker 4: Dude, I was shocked. So first drive of the game,
- 5:16Speaker 4: Broncos are moving, right? They hit R.J. Harvey with a
- 5:19Speaker 4: dump off.
- 5:20Speaker 1: It's called OPI on Adam Troutman. And the crowd's booing. loudly,
- 5:26Speaker 1: and they pan to the crowd.
- 5:27Speaker 4: I go, oh, my God.
- 5:30Speaker 3: It's orange.
- 5:31Speaker 4: It's all orange in there.
- 5:32Speaker 2: You think we live in a transplant town? I lived
- 5:34Speaker 2: in Phoenix. I understand. I understand what it's like there.
- 5:37Speaker 2: And it's like that for almost every game because everybody's
- 5:40Speaker 2: from somewhere else.
- 5:42Speaker 3: When the Coyotes were there, Vic, you ought to see, especially,
- 5:46Speaker 3: I mean, the Canadian Snowbirds who would come down. Oh, my.
- 5:49Speaker 3: And the Avalanche fans who would sell that joint out. Oh,
- 5:53Speaker 3: my God.
- 5:54Speaker 2: The amount of orange in that stadium. And I'm colorblind,
- 5:57Speaker 2: and I noticed it. That tells you something. That's the
- 5:59Speaker 2: first thing I noticed. Number two, watching our boy Bo.
- 6:04Speaker 2: If he had long hair, it would be flowing behind him.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Watching him finally escape. It's like he was escaping prison,
- 6:10Speaker 2: that 62-yard run.
- 6:12Speaker 3: It really was.
- 6:12Speaker 2: It was like he just escaped Alcatraz, and he's running
- 6:15Speaker 2: to free.
- 6:16Speaker 4: It was his Shawshank.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Yeah, Alcatraz dude's an island, so he wouldn't be running
- 6:20Speaker 3: too far, if you know what I mean.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Well, he could run on water, walk on water.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Okay, walk on water.
- 6:24Speaker 2: That's what it felt like to me. You know, even
- 6:26Speaker 2: though he was going fast motion, it felt like a
- 6:28Speaker 2: slow motion reveal, like I am now free of these shackles.
- 6:32Speaker 2: He was literally parting.
- 6:34Speaker 3: It's Forrest Gump when the braces fall off his legs,
- 6:36Speaker 3: like Brett said.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I can even go biblical for you. He was Noah.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He opened the Red Sea, the Red Sea of Cardinals.
- 6:43Speaker 2: He parted it and then ran it.
- 6:46Speaker 3: That's Moses. I'm sorry.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Moses, my bad. You're so right.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Bro, you got it. You got it. I got that
- 6:52Speaker 3: one messed up. Come on, Catholic.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 6:54Speaker 3: I mean, come on. Holy family. My ass. My ass.
- 6:58Speaker 3: My bad.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Can you name the people that ran the Red Sea
- 7:01Speaker 2: in front of him when he parted?
- 7:02Speaker 4: Change the subject that you were stupid for a second.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Don't you dare.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I misidentified one of the one of the great football
- 7:09Speaker 2: players of our time.
- 7:10Speaker 3: It was the Egyptians who were chasing him. And then
- 7:12Speaker 3: the seas came back in and wiped out all the
- 7:14Speaker 3: Egyptians and the Pharaoh.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And that's exactly what happened yesterday in Arizona. The other
- 7:19Speaker 2: thing I noticed, that's two things. Number three, Alex Singleton
- 7:23Speaker 2: had 19 tackles.
- 7:24Speaker 3: 19.
- 7:25Speaker 2: He already leads the NFL in tackles. 19, including what
- 7:29Speaker 2: I considered the most violent hit of the game, where
- 7:33Speaker 2: he forced Jacoby Brissett to levitate for five yards. And
- 7:36Speaker 2: he got called for personal foul on it. I don't
- 7:38Speaker 2: know why.
- 7:39Speaker 4: But I still don't get it. You hit him in
- 7:40Speaker 4: the midsection.
- 7:41Speaker 2: What are we doing? It was a perfect hit. It
- 7:43Speaker 2: was awesome. And the last thing is, I wish I
- 7:46Speaker 2: had me a Trey McBride on this team. Although having
- 7:49Speaker 2: a Trey McBride and using one, two entirely different topics, right?
- 7:52Speaker 2: You got to utilize them.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Well, I think that you would use Trey McBride if
- 7:56Speaker 1: you got Trey.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Can I ask you a simple question? How does he
- 8:00Speaker 2: always get open? Because I'm watching all these. I'm like, oh,
- 8:03Speaker 2: there's another big catch. It must be Trey McBride. Oh,
- 8:05Speaker 2: there's another one. Trey Mc... How is he... Like, what's happening?
- 8:09Speaker 1: Well, this is the beauty of having a tight end
- 8:13Speaker 1: that is a Trey McBride or a George Kittle or
- 8:16Speaker 1: a Sam Laporta. You choose the top ones in the league.
- 8:21Speaker 1: They're too big for a corner. But they're too fast
- 8:24Speaker 1: for a linebacker.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Correct.
- 8:25Speaker 2: And you can move them around on the line of scrimmage, too.
- 8:27Speaker 1: You can put them in the slot. You can line
- 8:28Speaker 1: them up at the line of scrimmage. You can line
- 8:30Speaker 1: them up out wide.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Like, it's a weapon. It's an absolute weapon.
- 8:35Speaker 3: And....
- 8:37Speaker 4: Here's the other thing, Vic. He's really good.
- 8:40Speaker 1: And really good wideouts that you know that a team
- 8:43Speaker 1: is selling out to stop.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Guess what?
- 8:45Speaker 1: Do you think the Chiefs were very aware that JSN
- 8:48Speaker 1: was somebody they had to keep an eye on in
- 8:50Speaker 1: that Seahawks game? Still had 150 yards.
- 8:53Speaker 3: I was just going to say, when you go to JSN, Vic, okay,
- 8:56Speaker 3: do yourself a favor.
- 8:57Speaker 4: He's like their only weapon on offense.
- 8:59Speaker 3: Right. And the thing about it is that it doesn't
- 9:01Speaker 3: matter if you game plan to double team him or...
- 9:06Speaker 3: run a safety every single, it doesn't matter. He still
- 9:09Speaker 3: is going to find a way to get open. And
- 9:12Speaker 3: that win yesterday, again, he went off and he went crazy. Now, again,
- 9:16Speaker 3: against the Broncos, his numbers were still good. His numbers
- 9:19Speaker 3: were still big-time numbers against the Denver Broncos, and you
- 9:22Speaker 3: know what's coming. You just can't do anything about it.
- 9:24Speaker 3: You just try to mitigate as much as you can.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, though, Moj, about Trey McBride. Vic,
- 9:31Speaker 1: you said he always gets open. He made a lot
- 9:33Speaker 1: of catches yesterday. He was not open. But he's got
- 9:37Speaker 1: bear paws for mitts. And anything that hits his hand
- 9:41Speaker 1: stays in his hands. The touchdown that he had, that
- 9:43Speaker 1: little slant, he had people draped all over him.
- 9:45Speaker 4: Didn't matter.
- 9:45Speaker 1: He's just too strong. Like, he's just a really impressive player.
- 9:49Speaker 1: And wholly likable. Did you guys see the interview before
- 9:51Speaker 1: the game started?
- 9:52Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Grew up a Broncos fan. Said he just nothing but
- 9:57Speaker 2: love for the franchise he grew up watching. But today...
- 9:59Speaker 2: they're the opponent. I love Trey McBride, man. The Fort Morgan,
- 10:04Speaker 2: I don't know how they did it. Joel Dreesen was
- 10:07Speaker 2: a product of Fort Morgan. But, dude, they're hitting the
- 10:09Speaker 2: national stage now. Props to Fort Morgan. Whatever you're feeding
- 10:13Speaker 2: those kids, it works.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Yeah. Beef. A lot of beef out there. A lot
- 10:18Speaker 3: of beef in Fort Morgan.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of the course. They got
- 10:20Speaker 1: a nice little golf course in Fort Morgan I played
- 10:22Speaker 1: a couple months ago.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Really?
- 10:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Like 50 bucks, too.
- 10:26Speaker 3: It's funny. Every time I drive through Fort Morgan, I
- 10:29Speaker 3: look to the, I guess I would say the north, right?
- 10:32Speaker 3: You're driving through, on your way to Nebraska, and you
- 10:34Speaker 3: look to the north. It always reminds me of like
- 10:38Speaker 3: the Shire from Lord of the Rings. I don't know why.
- 10:43Speaker 3: I just feel like a bunch of hobbits live out there.
- 10:45Speaker 3: But no, it's all tight ends. It's all big holes
- 10:49Speaker 3: in the earth with Titans coming out of it.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Texture says Noah was parting the Red Sea and Moses
- 10:54Speaker 1: dropped by in a speedboat with a couple animals.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Dance straight. What you got on there?
- 11:01Speaker 4: Is that a ferret?
- 11:02Speaker 3: You got a couple ferrets on there?
- 11:04Speaker 2: Who do you think was a better athlete, Moses or Noah?
- 11:07Speaker 3: Hey, you remember the Virgin Candy?
- 11:11Speaker 2: Let me ask you, who would you rather have quarterback
- 11:13Speaker 2: your team? A guy who led all.
- 11:16Speaker 4: These animals onto a boat. I got to tell you.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Noah, Moses, or Jesus?
- 11:21Speaker 2: No, you can't include Jesus.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Moses has some age concerns. I think he's 600 and
- 11:26Speaker 1: some years old. I don't know if he's going to
- 11:28Speaker 1: hold up.
- 11:28Speaker 2: But he's durable, dude. He's durable. I mean, you could
- 11:34Speaker 2: throw Abraham in there, too.
- 11:35Speaker 3: What did he live to? Moses, I don't know.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Dude, you're underrating Noah's skill at being able to organize.
- 11:44Speaker 4: He was only 120.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Dude, Noah at the line of scrimmage being able to
- 11:47Speaker 2: organize an offense would be just next level. Look at
- 11:50Speaker 2: what he did. You got everybody on that damn boat.
- 11:53Speaker 3: You run the same pattern. Two by two over here.
- 11:55Speaker 3: I got two backs in the backfield. My bad.
- 11:59Speaker 4: I got them confused. I pulled a Vic. Noah was
- 12:03Speaker 4: 950 when he died. Moses was 120. So I have
- 12:07Speaker 4: age concerns about Noah. That's what I meant to say.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Okay.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I mean, before the flood, he was 500 years old.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I mean, that's before he... But think about it. At 500,
- 12:19Speaker 1: he built that ark?
- 12:21Speaker 2: Having said that, Moses would fear no rival. Ramsey's tried everything.
- 12:26Speaker 2: And he showed up with that stick that said, what
- 12:27Speaker 2: you got?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Yep, pretty much.
- 12:31Speaker 4: To answer your question, Vic, I'm going to go Moses.
- 12:33Speaker 4: I'll take a Moses. Anyway, 303.
- 12:36Speaker 3: 504-0925.
- 12:36Speaker 4: One last thing, real quick on this.
- 12:40Speaker 1: The two things that I think stuck out the most,
- 12:43Speaker 1: and I do truly believe this. When Bo Nix ran
- 12:48Speaker 1: for the touchdown, it did feel like the weight of
- 12:52Speaker 1: a million pounds came off his shoulders. It felt like
- 12:55Speaker 1: I got a confidence now in a thing that I
- 12:58Speaker 1: do well.
- 12:59Speaker 4: I just shown I can do it.
- 13:01Speaker 1: He took off and ran for another big game later
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the game, which, look, we didn't see any of that. Moshe,
- 13:06Speaker 1: he doubled his rushing yards on the season. He had
- 13:11Speaker 1: 37 going into the game. He finished with 73.
- 13:14Speaker 3: In that game. And, Vic, I get a guy's want,
- 13:18Speaker 3: and Sean Payton kind of did the same thing. Well,
- 13:20Speaker 3: you know, we know what's in there. We have full
- 13:22Speaker 3: confidence in this room and all that. Okay, I get that.
- 13:25Speaker 3: And so I get that he wants to, like, say, hey, look,
- 13:27Speaker 3: you know, I can still do it. Ha-ha. But he
- 13:30Speaker 3: hadn't done it, right? And he looked like a different player. So,
- 13:34Speaker 3: you know, don't put it on us. I would say,
- 13:37Speaker 3: where's it been? That's where my questions lie.
- 13:41Speaker 4: The other thing was, yeah, go ahead.
- 13:43Speaker 2: What did I want the Broncos to do from the
- 13:45Speaker 2: very get-go? What did I want them to come out
- 13:47Speaker 2: and do? Get out and rip it.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Slinging the pig. Rip it.
- 13:49Speaker 2: What did they do on the opening play from scrimmage?
- 13:52Speaker 2: They slung that pig 20 yards down the middle of
- 13:54Speaker 2: the field. Middle of the field. Get him going. Get
- 13:58Speaker 2: him going. Hit the electric start button. Let's go.
- 14:02Speaker 1: The other thing was Jonah Coleman just looks like he's
- 14:04Speaker 1: your feature back now, and he was in nine carries.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Those were the best nine carries of the season, it
- 14:10Speaker 1: felt like, for the Broncos. Now, one last thing here
- 14:13Speaker 1: before a break. Texture says, and makes a great point,
- 14:15Speaker 1: this is why I shouldn't be a GM. He says,
- 14:17Speaker 1: so take Noah in his prime, you get 400 years
- 14:19Speaker 1: of a franchise quarterback. That's the way you look at things.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what? Here's the problem. He's going
- 14:24Speaker 3: to drive the salary up, okay? Because, like, in year 387,
- 14:28Speaker 3: he's going to be making a lot of money. He's
- 14:31Speaker 3: going to be– your cap's going to be screwed. You've
- 14:34Speaker 3: got to.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Be a team guy. I don't know what to tell you.
- 14:36Speaker 3: You've got to get him, like, in the late 100s,
- 14:38Speaker 3: like 183. You know what I mean? When he's still
- 14:40Speaker 3: on that entry-level deal. 183-year-old entry-level deal. 303-504-0925, by the way.

- 14:58Speaker 1: The weekend isn't over until Monday Night Football is in
- 15:00Speaker 1: the books. Tonight, it's Cowboys-Eagles on Altitude Sports Radio AM 950.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Westwood One coverage starts at 6. Monday Night Football is
- 15:07Speaker 1: powered by Twin Peaks.
- 15:09Speaker 4: Eats, drinks, scenic views.
- 15:11Speaker 3: So what are you on tonight, Brett? What are you
- 15:14Speaker 3: focusing on this evening in terms of your sports watching?
- 15:19Speaker 2: Well, Nuggets.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Nuggets is going to be number one.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Obviously.
- 15:26Speaker 4: It's a good question because it's the other one. I
- 15:29Speaker 4: got two TVs.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Nuggets are on one, the main one. The other TV
- 15:34Speaker 1: is either going to be the World Series or Monday
- 15:36Speaker 1: Night Football.
- 15:36Speaker 3: It's going to flick around, right?
- 15:37Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I think it's going to be on the World Series
- 15:39Speaker 1: because I don't really care about Cowboys and Eagles.
- 15:42Speaker 4: They're both terrible. And they're both not going to matter
- 15:44Speaker 4: at the end of the year.
- 15:45Speaker 3: I sure would like to see the Rays get back
- 15:47Speaker 3: in this thing, man.
- 15:48Speaker 4: I think they can. No, they're heading back home.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you feel about the 2-3-2?
- 15:58Speaker 4: I think it should probably be 2-2-1-1-1. Like, that feels.
- 16:04Speaker 3: It just.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I think 2-3-2 lets the lesser seed in games that
- 16:10Speaker 1: can flip.
- 16:13Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, it just feels like
- 16:14Speaker 4: you're giving them too much of an advantage.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Too comfortable.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah. To me, it would favor the road team. If
- 16:20Speaker 3: you can split in the first two, then you get
- 16:23Speaker 3: three straight at home. I mean, it feels like it
- 16:25Speaker 3: should favor the road team. But I'm telling you, the
- 16:29Speaker 3: Brew Crews, that's a pretty damn good club, man. But
- 16:32Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta is going to go tonight for the Rays.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Why do they do that?
- 16:36Speaker 3: Why? Why? Why do?
- 16:38Speaker 1: It can't be something like, well, we're worried about weather
- 16:41Speaker 1: and an extra day.
- 16:42Speaker 4: It can't be something like that.
- 16:43Speaker 3: I have no idea. I have no clue.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I almost kind of think, you know, we talk about
- 16:51Speaker 1: this in football a lot, that football, you play all year,
- 16:56Speaker 1: and quarterbacks make $ 55 million a year, and then you
- 16:59Speaker 1: can have a playoff game decided like the AFC Championship was.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is why the Broncos lost, but
- 17:05Speaker 1: just a snow globe comes in, and then all of
- 17:07Speaker 1: a sudden, $ 55 million quarterback can't do $ 55 million things.
- 17:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 17:12Speaker 1: And part of me just thinks in baseball, that's meant
- 17:15Speaker 1: to be played in good weather, okay? They cancel games
- 17:17Speaker 1: for rain. If that's the case, maybe when it comes
- 17:20Speaker 1: to the World Series, just put something in a climate-controlled
- 17:22Speaker 1: environment and just neutral-sighted or something.
- 17:25Speaker 3: You know, I saw the other day, Vic, in Nashville,
- 17:28Speaker 3: they're working on that new stadium in Nashville. And it's
- 17:32Speaker 3: got a roof on it and the whole nine yards.
- 17:34Speaker 3: I mean, that's where everybody's going now, so it doesn't
- 17:36Speaker 3: matter what. is happening outside. You know, and again, the
- 17:40Speaker 3: trop is a sarcophagus anyway. They should get out of
- 17:43Speaker 3: that frigging ballpark, but I'm not sure. I don't know.
- 17:47Speaker 3: They should have the stomach in Tampa to build a
- 17:48Speaker 3: new joint. They should.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Hey, why didn't they open the roof in Glendale yesterday?
- 17:53Speaker 2: Because it was like 80 degrees in Phoenix. It was fine.
- 17:55Speaker 2: It wasn't suffocating heat by any means, and they had
- 17:59Speaker 2: the roof closed for that Broncos-Cardinals game.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I don't know. But what I want to do, is
- 18:05Speaker 3: I want to give props to Broncos fans for traveling
- 18:07Speaker 3: so well.
- 18:08Speaker 4: They're awesome.
- 18:09Speaker 3: They are awesome. Now, I know we get a little
- 18:11Speaker 3: bit verklempt when, like when the Lions were last in town, Brett,
- 18:15Speaker 3: you know, I had a game downtown, but there's just
- 18:18Speaker 3: Lions fans everywhere, right? I mean, people will come here
- 18:20Speaker 3: and do the same thing. Steelers fans, Packers fans, they're
- 18:23Speaker 3: all notorious. Chiefs fans. But Broncos fans, they're showing out
- 18:29Speaker 3: on the road. They really are, and I'm proud of them.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Good job, you guys. Now, I know... L.A. and Arizona
- 18:34Speaker 3: are pretty easy to go to when it starts to
- 18:36Speaker 3: chill out a little bit. But good job. That stadium
- 18:39Speaker 3: yesterday was full of orange, full of it.
- 18:42Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 18:43Speaker 1: Well, I guess you're working tonight. If you weren't working
- 18:46Speaker 1: and you were at home, how would you do your
- 18:49Speaker 1: watching tonight? The Nuggets would be on for sure.
- 18:51Speaker 2: I've got two televisions in my office.
- 18:55Speaker 1: That's my thing, and I'm trying to decide. I think
- 18:57Speaker 1: it's World Series over Monday Night Football.
- 18:59Speaker 2: But I also have a third option. I can use
- 19:00Speaker 2: my computer screen as an option. So tonight I would go.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Nuggets primary. I would put World Series on the television,
- 19:11Speaker 2: the other second one, and then I'd do Monday Night
- 19:13Speaker 2: Football and other assortments on the computer.
- 19:15Speaker 4: That's how I'm doing it.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I don't know how you guys have the brainpower to
- 19:19Speaker 3: sort of pay attention to everything at one time. I
- 19:23Speaker 3: got to focus on one thing.
- 19:24Speaker 4: A lot of commercials. Just kind of bounce back and forth.
- 19:29Speaker 2: The only problem I'm having right now, and I can't
- 19:30Speaker 2: figure it out.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Huh.
- 19:33Speaker 2: It's a technical issue, but I turn off one remote,
- 19:37Speaker 2: one television and it turns everything off.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Oh, that's mine. Does that too?
- 19:41Speaker 2: Like my entire house turns off.
- 19:42Speaker 4: You got to, you got to give it one of
- 19:43Speaker 4: these Vic, wherever the TV, you got to, you got
- 19:46Speaker 4: to do that. This, this number.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I try to hide it. I try to mask it.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Like I, even talked to them.
- 19:50Speaker 4: Hey, just one.
- 19:53Speaker 3: You've got people on this planet. You've got to go
- 19:56Speaker 3: to the river and carry water. back.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Did they know what it's like to have all your
- 20:01Speaker 1: stuff turned off with a remote though?
- 20:03Speaker 3: You're like, I hit this button and everything turns on
- 20:05Speaker 3: and off. It's just crazy. I had to walk a water. Oh, crime.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And he went to pay me.
- 20:10Speaker 4: I had to walk a mile to get water with
- 20:11Speaker 4: a bucket.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You ever had your, your Netflix turn on three different
- 20:16Speaker 1: TVs at once.
- 20:17Speaker 2: This thing, this thing hurt me too.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Yesterday.
- 20:19Speaker 2: It hurt me, hurt me deeply.
- 20:20Speaker 3: I pride myself.
- 20:21Speaker 2: I'm being on top of the news immediate, right? Fast, fast. Yesterday.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I'm on the phone, a group phone call.
- 20:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:29Speaker 2: With my brothers during the Broncos game. And one of
- 20:33Speaker 2: my brothers, Mario, had the game at least one minute
- 20:37Speaker 2: before me and Adalio.
- 20:39Speaker 4: I can't do that.
- 20:39Speaker 2: No. And he's like talking about stuff. And I go, nope.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Get off.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Get off the phone call. And this whole streaming thing
- 20:47Speaker 2: has done that now. Where everybody's watching the game at
- 20:49Speaker 2: a different level, a different time. And I can't converse
- 20:54Speaker 2: with people.
- 20:54Speaker 1: If somebody's texting me during the game, I literally wait
- 20:57Speaker 1: a minute before I read the text.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Because I can't. have you jumping me. That's a serious issue.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Is that what happened yesterday when I was in Nashville
- 21:05Speaker 3: watching the Lions game? Is that what happened?
- 21:07Speaker 1: I literally didn't even, I don't think I looked at
- 21:09Speaker 1: your text for like 20 minutes.
- 21:10Speaker 2: I was just, I.
- 21:11Speaker 4: Was so angry.
- 21:14Speaker 3: So angry.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Anyway, I do think, just to put a bow on this,
- 21:20Speaker 1: and we'll get to some nuggets and abs and keys
- 21:21Speaker 1: of the game and all that stuff. I think that
- 21:25Speaker 1: that game yesterday needs to be your standard. If you
- 21:30Speaker 1: get that game every week, then I think you should
- 21:34Speaker 1: be happy, offensively.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Yeah, 30 points every week? Yeah, I'd say so.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Well, forget the points, because they.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Scored 30 points against the Rams, and that still didn't
- 21:42Speaker 1: quite feel that way.
- 21:42Speaker 4: You got to pick six in the middle of that.
- 21:45Speaker 4: You know, the Seahawks.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Score a bunch of points this year. Their points per
- 21:48Speaker 1: game is okay, but their offense is bad. All I'm
- 21:52Speaker 1: saying is, the way that that entire offense was operating...
- 21:58Speaker 1: I think that should be your standard. It wasn't anything
- 22:01Speaker 1: that blew you away, but the passing game was all right.
- 22:03Speaker 1: The running game was all right. And if you do that,
- 22:06Speaker 1: you're going to win a bunch of football games with
- 22:07Speaker 1: that defense this year.
- 22:09Speaker 3: You're right, but you do realize they were also still
- 22:11Speaker 3: on the wrong side of what typically are key stats.
- 22:16Speaker 3: You realize that, right?
- 22:17Speaker 4: Like third down conversions?
- 22:19Speaker 3: Yeah, time of possession, third down. I mean, yeah, all
- 22:21Speaker 3: these different, the amount of first downs you had in
- 22:24Speaker 3: the game, All these different things, you're still on the
- 22:27Speaker 3: wrong side of it, yet you're still finding a way
- 22:30Speaker 3: to win. And yesterday was a decisive win. It wasn't
- 22:32Speaker 3: just like, hey, we squeaked it out or, you know,
- 22:35Speaker 3: the knucklehead threw a pick. It was, hey, man, a
- 22:41Speaker 3: pretty damn decisive win. That fourth quarter, it was all decided.
- 22:44Speaker 2: You know how I know it's a decisive win and
- 22:46Speaker 2: a win that they're going to. I mean, do you
- 22:48Speaker 2: see how giddy Sean Payton was after the game?
- 22:50Speaker 3: Yes. He was so happy.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That he asked himself the hard question about the reverse.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Nobody asked it. He asked himself the question.
- 22:59Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Maybe we should do that on a daily basis on
- 23:05Speaker 3: this show.
- 23:06Speaker 2: No, we should.
- 23:07Speaker 3: No, we shouldn't.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Hey, do you have any hard questions for yourself, Coach?
- 23:11Speaker 3: Yeah. No, we shouldn't because we give each other enough
- 23:13Speaker 3: of a hard time anyway that we don't need to
- 23:16Speaker 3: ask ourselves the hard questions.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Let me present the question to you that was asked
- 23:20Speaker 4: to me by Vic earlier, Mo.
- 23:21Speaker 3: What's that?
- 23:22Speaker 1: Were we too hard on Bo Nix after the Seahawks game,
- 23:25Speaker 1: considering what the Seahawks did to Patrick Mahomes?
- 23:30Speaker 3: Perhaps. I mean, maybe. Yeah, maybe. But again, this goes
- 23:33Speaker 3: back to Joker and his comments after the game on
- 23:36Speaker 3: Saturday night. I have high expectations of a former 14-3 team.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I have high expectations. I know what wins in the
- 23:45Speaker 3: National Football League. I know what it looks like. I
- 23:48Speaker 3: know how it behaves. I know the metrics that go
- 23:51Speaker 3: into it. I know the numbers that you have to
- 23:53Speaker 3: be on the correct side of. And you got more
- 23:57Speaker 3: correct on some of the numbers. on some of the
- 24:00Speaker 3: numbers yesterday, but you're not correct on all of the numbers. So, yeah,
- 24:05Speaker 3: I think so because I think Seattle's defense spread is
- 24:07Speaker 3: honestly really good. And the Seahawks did not lose to
- 24:10Speaker 3: the Broncos because of their defense. They lost to the
- 24:12Speaker 3: Broncos because their quarterback is a knucklehead.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Keep an eye on one thing, though.
- 24:16Speaker 3: He threw two picks at the most inopportune time.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Keep an eye on one thing with the Broncos offense.
- 24:20Speaker 2: The changing of the guard is literally happening now. Jonah
- 24:23Speaker 2: Coleman is going to be the featured running back on
- 24:25Speaker 2: this team. He was yesterday. And J.K. Dobbins did not
- 24:29Speaker 2: talk to the media after the game. You could tell
- 24:31Speaker 2: he's not happy about it. It is what it is.
- 24:33Speaker 2: You've got to go to Jonah Coleman. I just wonder
- 24:36Speaker 2: how that's going to work moving forward. You know what?
- 24:41Speaker 1: I'm just– I would kind of be in a place
- 24:43Speaker 1: of– I'm not sure I'm really concerned about it. J.K.,
- 24:46Speaker 1: you aren't good enough to feel– have any feelings towards this.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I don't know how else to put it. Like, you
- 24:52Speaker 1: just aren't. And you had six games. to take the
- 24:57Speaker 1: bull by the horns. And in the single game that
- 25:00Speaker 1: Jonah Coleman played, he looked better than any running back
- 25:03Speaker 1: you've had all year.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Could he have anything to do with the opposition? Well,
- 25:08Speaker 2: how about this, Vic?
- 25:09Speaker 3: Hey, J.K.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Looked good on a couple of runs. Give him that.
- 25:11Speaker 3: He did. He looked okay.
- 25:12Speaker 2: On a couple of runs yesterday, he looked smooth.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Here's what happened, though. He had three carries on the
- 25:16Speaker 4: opening drive. How many carries did he have after that?
- 25:18Speaker 3: Right. Well, Vic, yeah, I would say that, look, it
- 25:21Speaker 3: may be coincidental that Coleman is healthy and now you're
- 25:25Speaker 3: playing the Cardinals who... Their defense gives up a lot.
- 25:29Speaker 3: But so what? I mean, it's feed him the rock
- 25:32Speaker 3: and let him go do his thing. I mean, that's–
- 25:36Speaker 3: I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. You've got
- 25:38Speaker 3: to cut out the penalties. Again, you're on the wrong
- 25:41Speaker 3: side of penalties, first downs, third down conversion, and time
- 25:44Speaker 3: of possession. Typically, that's going to burn you, and it didn't.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Now, you don't want Dobbins being a malcontent right now
- 25:52Speaker 1: because Tyler– Tyler Bidet is on the IR. So the
- 25:56Speaker 1: guys who run the football for the Broncos, because R.J.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Harvey is not that, it's Dobbins and Jonah Coleman right now.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Those are the two.
- 26:05Speaker 3: R.J.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Harvey catches the ball. That's what he does. I mean,
- 26:08Speaker 4: I don't think they want to run.
- 26:10Speaker 1: You have to run Harvey sometimes to not totally give
- 26:12Speaker 1: away what you're doing on offense. But we all kind
- 26:15Speaker 1: of know. If Dobbins is in the game, is it
- 26:17Speaker 1: typically a running play?
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 26:20Speaker 1: If Harvey's in the game, is it typically a passing play?
- 26:23Speaker 2: By the way, that was a perfect call on a
- 26:24Speaker 2: perfect situation. They brought the blitz from the right side,
- 26:26Speaker 2: and they threw it right to the blitz. It was great.
- 26:29Speaker 3: So good. I guess my question is, you call the
- 26:33Speaker 3: play not knowing what the defense is going to do.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I get lucky sometimes.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But no, but it looked genius. I'm telling you, it
- 26:42Speaker 3: looked like a genius play call.
- 26:44Speaker 2: The way Coach Sanford explained it to me, the 62-yard
- 26:48Speaker 2: touchdown run by Bowe, the perfect defense to do it against.
- 26:51Speaker 3: Perfect.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I mean, that defense, they don't call that defense all
- 26:54Speaker 2: the time.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Right.
- 26:55Speaker 2: They call this man-to-man cover two deal where they send
- 26:58Speaker 2: the safeties deep and people turned around. And Bo saw it.
- 27:03Speaker 2: And he was at 62 yards. Doesn't happen all the time.
- 27:06Speaker 2: They basically begged him to run the ball.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Oh, he did.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question about R.J.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Harvey. Does he have more carries or receptions at the
- 27:14Speaker 1: end of the year? He's at 24 carries and 25
- 27:16Speaker 1: catches right now.
- 27:17Speaker 3: More catches. He's going to have more catches.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Well, especially if Jonah Coleman... Plays that feature back.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:24Speaker 4: Now, in the meantime.
- 27:25Speaker 3: By the way, I'm starting to get a little giddy
- 27:29Speaker 3: at 9.33 in the morning. Walked in the door. Well,
- 27:35Speaker 3: I mean, walked in the door about, what, 1.35, 1.40,
- 27:36Speaker 3: something like that.
- 27:37Speaker 2: You better not say anything about your laundry. Because I
- 27:41Speaker 2: threw some laundry in last night myself.
- 27:43Speaker 3: No, I did not do any laundry at 2 in
- 27:45Speaker 3: the morning. I did not. But, you know, you get home.
- 27:48Speaker 3: It was kind of a bumpy flight, the last half
- 27:50Speaker 3: of the flight coming home. Headwinds and all that kind
- 27:52Speaker 3: of thing, right? You know?
- 27:54Speaker 2: What are you saying? Spit it out.
- 27:57Speaker 3: I'm just a little tired. I'm going to crash hard.
- 28:00Speaker 4: You said you're getting giddy. Nothing you said meant giddy.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Okay, I'm getting a little goofy.
- 28:06Speaker 2: So what do you want me to do?
- 28:09Speaker 3: I could use a massage.
- 28:11Speaker 4: I know we do. Mosher shuts up when we do this.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Oh, hang on.
- 28:14Speaker 4: Turn on my hot keys, please. My bad. Oh, there
- 28:17Speaker 4: you go.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Very good.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Right here, Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 tonight. The Nuggets are
- 28:39Speaker 1: back at it after a win against New Orleans, a
- 28:41Speaker 1: overtime thriller.
- 28:42Speaker 4: They take on the Warriors at 8 o'clock tonight.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Vic? My recommendation to the Nuggets is not to follow
- 28:48Speaker 2: the same script they followed Saturday night. You don't want
- 28:51Speaker 2: to get down 23 to the Warriors. The Warriors are 0-3.
- 28:54Speaker 2: They've yet to win a game. They're obviously injury riddled, okay?
- 28:59Speaker 3: Oh, they are. Everybody is out on that team. I
- 29:02Speaker 3: love it.
- 29:03Speaker 2: But Steph Curry's going to play tonight. Raymond Green is
- 29:06Speaker 2: going to play tonight. So they're going to have enough.
- 29:08Speaker 2: And if you're down 19 to that bunch in the
- 29:11Speaker 2: fourth quarter, good luck. You're able to come back against
- 29:13Speaker 2: New Orleans because the Pelicans are very good at blowing leads.
- 29:17Speaker 2: And I guess that is the issue tonight. Play with
- 29:20Speaker 2: energy early. Bring it early. I don't care what the
- 29:23Speaker 2: final score is, but bring the energy early, not late.
- 29:28Speaker 2: That is my one and only key tonight.
- 29:30Speaker 3: You know, do you realize Porzingis has this tachycardia thing
- 29:33Speaker 3: going on?
- 29:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel bad for him, dude.
- 29:35Speaker 3: Dude, I do too. He might be, I mean, he
- 29:37Speaker 3: might be done playing. They're trying to trade him. Jimmy Butler,
- 29:42Speaker 3: obviously Jimmy Butler is still coming back from that torn ACL.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Wasn't Draymond out the other day with a bad back
- 29:48Speaker 3: or something like that?
- 29:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they sat both Draymond and Steph Curry. Yeah.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Keys to the game.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Powered by Johnson Auto Plaza. Huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
- 29:56Speaker 1: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
- 29:58Speaker 1: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza.
- 30:01Speaker 4: One thing I want to say real quick about the Warriors.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Real quick. Real quick. Have energy. Oh, what a key.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Come on with some energy, man. Feel it, man. Energy.
- 30:12Speaker 4: I got to tell you something.
- 30:13Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about, Mosier. I mean,
- 30:16Speaker 2: my key was to provide some defensive energy early. That's it.
- 30:21Speaker 2: I don't need to go into it. useless detail like
- 30:23Speaker 2: you do when you provide your keys.
- 30:25Speaker 4: Everybody stop for a moment.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Beam in.
- 30:27Speaker 4: I have to say something that I'm not particularly proud of.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Okay.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I don't like the Warriors. I'll never like the Warriors.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Kind of like this Linda board guy.
- 30:38Speaker 2: So do I.
- 30:38Speaker 4: I kind of like him.
- 30:39Speaker 2: So do I. After every game now, he's just popping
- 30:42Speaker 2: off in the postgame press conferences talking about, well, Yeah,
- 30:45Speaker 2: this is a league of floppers. I'm learning now. I'm
- 30:48Speaker 2: learning these little nuances, these little moves to become a
- 30:51Speaker 2: flopper myself.
- 30:52Speaker 1: This is his quote after their last game. Just seeing
- 30:56Speaker 1: the way the NBA is, I guess a lot of fouls,
- 30:59Speaker 1: a lot of free throws. So, I mean, I think
- 31:01Speaker 1: I just got to adapt what this is evolving to be.
- 31:05Speaker 1: I'm going to learn all the sweep throughs and all
- 31:07Speaker 1: the bump and flops. Eventually, I'm going to get good
- 31:09Speaker 1: at it and be able to shoot as many free
- 31:10Speaker 1: throws as possible.
- 31:12Speaker 3: UK, I like this kid, too. And I like this
- 31:16Speaker 3: kid because he's got a pure basketball heart. And he's
- 31:19Speaker 3: come into the NBA and he's realized, you know what?
- 31:22Speaker 3: This is a bunch of crap. It's like, you know
- 31:26Speaker 3: what it is like, Brett? It's like you have a
- 31:28Speaker 3: corrupt police department.
- 31:29Speaker 4: I was just going to say, like a politician. Like,
- 31:31Speaker 4: I want to do good. Right, right.
- 31:33Speaker 3: No, you have a new recruit coming in. Kind of
- 31:35Speaker 3: takes me back to Goodfellas a little bit. But you
- 31:37Speaker 3: have a new recruit coming in. Not Goodfellas. Sorry. What's
- 31:41Speaker 3: the one with Serpico? No, the frigging one with Al
- 31:45Speaker 3: Capone and... Untouchables? Untouchables. Jesus. But you get a new
- 31:51Speaker 3: recruit coming in out of the police academy, and he
- 31:53Speaker 3: comes in, he's all gung-ho, he's ready to go, and
- 31:56Speaker 3: let's catch some bad guys, and they're like, hey, hey, hey,
- 31:58Speaker 3: hold on, first of all.
- 31:59Speaker 2: The Departed.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Here's where the drug money comes in.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Training Day.
- 32:02Speaker 4: There's a million movies like this.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Okay, so.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Police Academy 5.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Tackleberry. No, but he comes in with bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
- 32:14Speaker 3: to the NBA out of Michigan, and he's like, you
- 32:17Speaker 3: know what, I'm going to play hoops. And he's like,
- 32:19Speaker 3: I got a bunch of floppers and whiners and bitchers
- 32:21Speaker 3: and moaners.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Next thing you know, Ethan Hawke's doing PCP.
- 32:24Speaker 3: And you're like, what happened? I mean, that's what it
- 32:27Speaker 3: feels like with this kid, right? I agree. I like
- 32:29Speaker 3: this kid as well. He's outspoken, but he's right on
- 32:33Speaker 3: the money. He's a kid after my own heart, Vic.
- 32:36Speaker 3: He's a 24-year-old kid. who I can identify with.
- 32:39Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what Trevin Brazil has in
- 32:41Speaker 2: store for an encore tonight. He is the reason the
- 32:45Speaker 2: Nuggets got back into that game. He and that second
- 32:48Speaker 2: unit to start the fourth quarter, who brought a semblance
- 32:50Speaker 2: of energy and intensity to the defensive end, gave the
- 32:54Speaker 2: Nuggets life, cut that lead in half, and allowed the
- 32:56Speaker 2: starters to come back in and then whittle it away.
- 32:59Speaker 2: So I'm really anxious to see what he can do.
- 33:02Speaker 2: The more he plays, the rookie I speak of now,
- 33:04Speaker 2: the more other teams are going to scout him. and
- 33:06Speaker 2: actually tend to him. So we'll see how he handles
- 33:08Speaker 2: that challenge.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Games tonight right here on Institute Sports Radio 92.5 at
- 33:12Speaker 1: 8 o'clock.
- 33:13Speaker 4: Monday Night Football is going to be on AM 950.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Back after this. Alright, again, game tonight against the Warriors.
- 33:19Speaker 1: A chance for... Can I just find, like, an in-between
- 33:22Speaker 1: for the Nuggets? Let's take whatever you did in Game
- 33:24Speaker 1: 1 and whatever you did in Game 2 and just
- 33:26Speaker 1: kind of, like, mush those together. I mean, a little
- 33:29Speaker 1: better offense than Game 1, a little better defense than
- 33:31Speaker 1: Game 2.
- 33:32Speaker 2: The defensive intensity was so extreme against OKC, and then
- 33:36Speaker 2: It's almost as if just subconsciously they relaxed. And I
- 33:40Speaker 2: think that's human nature.
- 33:41Speaker 3: You're at home.
- 33:42Speaker 2: You're playing a team that played the night before, had
- 33:45Speaker 2: to travel from Utah, had to come east, a lesser opponent.
- 33:50Speaker 2: You just don't bring the energy.
- 33:53Speaker 3: It is what it is.
- 33:54Speaker 2: And they didn't bring it until the fourth quarter when
- 33:56Speaker 2: they needed it most.
- 34:00Speaker 1: So, Moj, just to recap this, what happened Friday and
- 34:05Speaker 1: what happened Sunday?
- 34:07Speaker 4: How do both of those teams exist in the same weekend?
- 34:09Speaker 3: That is a great question, Kaner. I'm not, I don't know.
- 34:13Speaker 3: I think, again, if Bednar doesn't know, I don't know.
- 34:16Speaker 3: I don't know why they didn't come out with more intensity.
- 34:20Speaker 3: I don't know why they're getting beat to pucks first.
- 34:22Speaker 3: I don't know why they can't seem to fight through it.
- 34:28Speaker 3: I don't know. The frustration level builds up. It's sort
- 34:32Speaker 3: of like things build on each other in these situations.
- 34:36Speaker 3: I really don't know. I wish I did, Brett. Here's
- 34:39Speaker 3: what I do know. Let's start with what I do know.
- 34:41Speaker 3: I do know they're a good hockey club. I do
- 34:43Speaker 3: know they're a good team. Their goaltending has been fine.
- 34:47Speaker 3: If not good, I mean really good at times, right? But, man,
- 34:51Speaker 3: teams are getting on them like this. Teams are getting
- 34:55Speaker 3: right on them quickly and taking away all time and space.
- 34:59Speaker 3: It's up to you to break out of that. And
- 35:01Speaker 3: that requires jump. It requires legs. It requires attack. If
- 35:07Speaker 3: you have to go south to go north, then do it,
- 35:09Speaker 3: but you better do it quickly because teams are jumping you.
- 35:11Speaker 3: They're forechecking you like crazy. They're standing up in the
- 35:13Speaker 3: neutral zone. It's not necessarily pretty hockey, but they're forcing
- 35:17Speaker 3: you to be frustrated in things you don't want to do,
- 35:19Speaker 3: and they're taking advantage, and that's what's happening.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Early things that you like. For the Nuggets, it's Trevor
- 35:23Speaker 1: and Brazil is playing well. For the Avs, did you know, Moj,
- 35:26Speaker 1: that Torrey Lekanen is on pace for a 70-goal season?
- 35:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:31Speaker 4: He's got 10 already.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Yeah, he does.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's because Brock Nelson only has three. That's because,
- 35:38Speaker 2: you know, other guys, he's having to put up those
- 35:40Speaker 2: numbers because other guys aren't putting up the numbers that
- 35:42Speaker 2: we normally see.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Well, there's a bigger problem that you're going to run into,
- 35:45Speaker 1: which is Arturi Lekanen is in a contract year. And
- 35:49Speaker 1: if he puts up 30-some goals this season, then that
- 35:53Speaker 1: contract is going to be sizable.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Sizable.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. I loved what happened yesterday. Riker, I think,
- 36:03Speaker 3: was the only one talking to Coach Bednar after morning skate.
- 36:07Speaker 2: By the way, that shirt-tie-jacket combo, thank God I'm colorblind.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Because whatever Rycroft put on television with that combination, it
- 36:17Speaker 2: looked like something that I would find in a vat
- 36:20Speaker 2: of my mom's pasta sauce.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it did. I'm going to be honest with you.
- 36:27Speaker 3: It was pretty horrible.
- 36:30Speaker 4: But he strives for horrible, doesn't he?
- 36:32Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's zero concern whatsoever.
- 36:35Speaker 3: It's zero concern for the viewer. No, it's zero concern
- 36:37Speaker 3: for the viewer's brain and the eyeballs and the way
- 36:40Speaker 3: they process colors and shapes. It's zero concern. See, and
- 36:44Speaker 3: that's maybe the arrogance of Riker. It's zero concern for
- 36:47Speaker 3: the consumer. You see what I'm saying? He's wearing all
- 36:51Speaker 3: orange ties in the month of October, yet he puts
- 36:56Speaker 3: these shirts with him. Last night I could have put
- 36:58Speaker 3: a vest on him and asked for a sarsaparilla and
- 37:00Speaker 3: a whiskey. Yes. You know, an old-timey, what can I
- 37:03Speaker 3: get you? The old-timey barkeep, that's what he could have
- 37:05Speaker 3: been last night.
- 37:07Speaker 2: He makes non-colorblind people colorblind.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Yes.
- 37:10Speaker 2: By what he wears.
- 37:11Speaker 3: That's a great way to put it. He inflicts damage
- 37:15Speaker 3: on people's DNA. Yes.
- 37:17Speaker 2: So, thank you.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Yeah. It's true. But to the realism of it, Brett,
- 37:23Speaker 3: I expect a full recovery and a full rebound against
- 37:26Speaker 3: the Devils coming up on Wednesday night. You know, it's
- 37:29Speaker 3: a revenge game. you know hellebuck or no hellebuck the
- 37:33Speaker 3: thing is though the devils the devils can skate and
- 37:36Speaker 3: if teams have a blueprint on you now you've got
- 37:38Speaker 3: to be able to counteract that and you've got to
- 37:40Speaker 3: be able to break through it they just have to
- 37:43Speaker 3: and i'm sure they will today and off day tomorrow
- 37:45Speaker 3: they'll uh they'll get back at it a lot of
- 37:47Speaker 3: film a lot of practice and ready to go.
- 37:50Speaker 1: So uh with a few minutes left the broncos are
- 37:53Speaker 1: now after getting the win yesterday five and two on
- 37:56Speaker 1: the year They have one more really tough game here
- 37:59Speaker 1: before the schedule eases up at least a little bit, okay?
- 38:02Speaker 1: Because I don't know what you guys want to do
- 38:04Speaker 1: with Carolina. Is Carolina good or not? Some weeks they
- 38:07Speaker 1: look pretty awesome. And other weeks, like this last weekend,
- 38:10Speaker 1: where they lost 43-13, where the opposing quarterback threw for
- 38:14Speaker 1: 64 yards.
- 38:15Speaker 4: They look terrible. But do you guys know the number?
- 38:19Speaker 3: I keep.
- 38:20Speaker 1: I keep meaning to go back and look at this,
- 38:22Speaker 1: what the Broncos record is at home over the last
- 38:25Speaker 1: couple of years. Like it, aren't they like 17 and
- 38:28Speaker 1: one in the last 18?
- 38:29Speaker 2: Jacksonville at home. And I can't remember. This is not
- 38:33Speaker 2: playoffs included, obviously.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Right.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Cause they lost the AFC championship game. So they lost
- 38:37Speaker 2: to JV at home last year. That was that their
- 38:39Speaker 2: only home loss last year. They haven't lost at home
- 38:43Speaker 2: this year.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, it was their only home. Okay.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Well, that would make them. What were they? Eight and
- 38:49Speaker 2: one last year.
- 38:51Speaker 3: At home?
- 38:52Speaker 1: They were 8-1, so they're 11-1 so far through this
- 38:57Speaker 1: year and last year. I'm just trying to figure out
- 39:00Speaker 1: the year before that.
- 39:02Speaker 2: What's even more amazing, and we said this going into
- 39:04Speaker 2: the Arizona game, their all-time record against Arizona is now 11-1-1.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Yeah, they're 16-1 in the last 17 home games.
- 39:13Speaker 3: How many games have the Cardinals lost at State Farm?
- 39:16Speaker 2: Nine straight.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Nine straight. So, I mean, think about... Those numbers where
- 39:21Speaker 3: the Broncos are 11-1 last year into this year at
- 39:26Speaker 3: mile high. And the Cardinals have lost. nine straight at
- 39:31Speaker 3: home in Glendale? That's insane.
- 39:34Speaker 2: By the way, Jesse Trujillo, who's at that game, informs
- 39:37Speaker 2: me the reason they didn't open the roof in Glendale,
- 39:40Speaker 2: it was 80 degrees. They said that it adds 15
- 39:43Speaker 2: degrees to the field, and they felt that the addition
- 39:46Speaker 2: of that 15 degrees would be too much.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Too hot. Yeah, dude.
- 39:51Speaker 1: For the last three years, including the playoffs, the Broncos
- 39:54Speaker 1: are 21-4 at home.
- 39:56Speaker 3: Yeah. 21-4.
- 39:57Speaker 2: You know what, though? That's the way it should be
- 39:59Speaker 2: in Denver. And I've always felt in every sport, you
- 40:02Speaker 2: should utilize the hell out of that altitude and home
- 40:06Speaker 2: field advantage here. It should be an advantage. A distinct advantage.
- 40:12Speaker 2: It always has been. Why not?
- 40:16Speaker 1: Just out of curiosity, Mo, who do you think is
- 40:17Speaker 1: favored in this game against the Chiefs this weekend?
- 40:21Speaker 3: I would think Kansas City would be.
- 40:23Speaker 2: I'm going to say right now, I haven't even seen
- 40:24Speaker 2: the numbers.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Kansas City by two?
- 40:26Speaker 2: Kansas City one and a half right now.
- 40:28Speaker 3: One and a half, two?
- 40:29Speaker 1: The spread opened with the Broncos one and a half
- 40:33Speaker 1: point favorites. It has shifted to Kansas City as one
- 40:35Speaker 1: and a half point favorites.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Oh, so all that money went on Kansas City.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Yeah, the results of the opener, I think, are influencing that, right?
- 40:44Speaker 3: Well, but Kansas City, they seem to be better, obviously.
- 40:49Speaker 3: And they just got pounded.
- 40:50Speaker 4: Yeah, do you see that as a, is it, how
- 40:52Speaker 4: about this?
- 40:53Speaker 1: Is it a good or bad thing that Kansas City
- 40:55Speaker 1: played that poorly last weekend?
- 40:57Speaker 3: This is the unknown, Brett. Here's where we have the unknown.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Kansas City of four years ago, it's a bad thing.
- 41:04Speaker 3: A really bad thing because they're going to be proud
- 41:07Speaker 3: and PO'd and so on and so forth. Kansas City
- 41:10Speaker 3: of last year and this year, well, last year, it's
- 41:13Speaker 3: a good thing. Because now they have doubt in their minds.
- 41:18Speaker 3: I don't know where they are mentally as a team.
- 41:20Speaker 3: They seem to have rebounded and come out better. Kenneth
- 41:23Speaker 3: Walker was stuffed by his former team last night. Stuffed
- 41:27Speaker 3: by his former team. You can't let him get crazy.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Well, here's the question, Moshe. Are you going to be
- 41:34Speaker 1: able to tackle anybody on the Chiefs? Because you couldn't
- 41:37Speaker 1: do that the first week of the season. And as
- 41:39Speaker 1: long as you're able to do that, you got a
- 41:41Speaker 1: good shot.
- 41:42Speaker 3: Well, I would go to the Chiefs locker room, Vic,
- 41:44Speaker 3: and see if anybody's covered in Crisco. That's what I
- 41:46Speaker 3: would do.
- 41:47Speaker 2: I still can't get over that PI call on Riley
- 41:50Speaker 2: Moss yesterday. I'm looking at a replay of that. And
- 41:53Speaker 2: when I saw it in real time, so I saw
- 41:55Speaker 2: it and I said, okay, obviously he must have held
- 41:58Speaker 2: before the camera got there, right? There must have been something.
- 42:00Speaker 2: And then they showed the replay. I'm like, huh?
- 42:03Speaker 4: I'm just going to say it. It's racist.
- 42:06Speaker 2: I think they can. I just think the official was
- 42:09Speaker 2: poorly positioned. The official was behind the receiver, so couldn't,
- 42:14Speaker 2: or behind Moss, couldn't see where his hand was and
- 42:17Speaker 2: just assumed. It was an assumption call.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, guys sell stuff all the time,
- 42:23Speaker 3: you know. Oh, because he was falling backwards like this,
- 42:26Speaker 3: was like this. One of those kind of deals.
- 42:29Speaker 2: But he'd made no contact with him.
- 42:33Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, optically from behind, that's what it
- 42:36Speaker 3: looks like.
- 42:36Speaker 2: And then there was a makeup call later because Riley
- 42:38Speaker 2: did interfere later in the game and there was no call.
- 42:41Speaker 4: That was a horrible interference, actually.
- 42:44Speaker 2: That's an interference. And there was no call. And I
- 42:47Speaker 2: guarantee that was in the back of their minds. That
- 42:52Speaker 2: they missed one earlier.
- 42:55Speaker 1: It's so funny I forgot about that, Vic. Because he had,
- 42:58Speaker 1: that was a brutal P.I. And I was like, there's
- 43:01Speaker 1: really not a flag here.
- 43:02Speaker 4: And it just had to be our bad.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Our bad.
- 43:05Speaker 4: Shouldn't have done that earlier.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Happens in every sport. I think the referees, maybe the
- 43:10Speaker 2: other official came up to him and goes, dude, he
- 43:12Speaker 2: didn't touch him.
- 43:14Speaker 4: I don't know what the hell you were doing.
- 43:17Speaker 1: So anyway, a lot to discuss as we head into,
- 43:20Speaker 1: this is a huge game.
- 43:22Speaker 4: You win this weekend. Guess what, boys? You got control
- 43:27Speaker 4: of the AFC West again.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
- 43:29Speaker 4: That's all it is.
- 43:30Speaker 1: Like, Kansas City, who was 5-0 heading into this weekend,
- 43:33Speaker 1: you win this weekend, you're back on top.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Well, this is a two-win game. They go to, what,
- 43:40Speaker 3: 6-1 if they win, and you go to 5-3 if
- 43:44Speaker 3: you lose.
- 43:44Speaker 4: Not to mention.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Big brain on that guy.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Well, not to mention, though, Moj, they now own two games.
- 43:50Speaker 4: They win the tiebreaker.
