- 0:18Speaker 2: All right, so a lot to get to today. We
- 0:19Speaker 2: get the double Dipper road tonight, the Canucks against the
- 0:23Speaker 2: Avs and the Nuggets against the Jazz, both teams playing
- 0:25Speaker 2: against arguably the worst teams in each respective league. Double Canucks,
- 0:32Speaker 2: no doubt, right, mos, I mean they are like eighteen
- 0:34Speaker 2: points back of the second worst team in the league.
- 0:37Speaker 2: They're at fifty. I mean they're challenging the ad forty
- 0:40Speaker 2: eight point season and one second set again, Mosch, go ahead, Well, they.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Already have more than that of you, barely, barely, barely, merely.
- 0:54Speaker 2: But both teams should have what you would you would
- 0:58Speaker 2: hope would be comfortable. I'll say, wins. And let's hope
- 1:02Speaker 2: that the Nuggets don't do what they did the last
- 1:04Speaker 2: time they played Utah, which was need Jamal Murray to
- 1:07Speaker 2: go crazy the last five minutes of the game in
- 1:09Speaker 2: order to beat them.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Whatever I think of Vic saying the Nuggets are playing
- 1:14Speaker 3: with their food, Yeah, there's one thing that sticks out
- 1:17Speaker 3: of my mind, and maybe other people can relate to this.
- 1:21Speaker 4: You recall the movie Christmas Story.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I Love Christmas Story.
- 1:25Speaker 3: So when Randy's eating his meat loaf, this is before
- 1:28Speaker 3: the right when the leg gets there.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Right right the lamp, the lamp.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, meat loaf beat love. He hate meat low.
- 1:36Speaker 4: He's like making a song about it. Uh huh, playing
- 1:39Speaker 4: with his foot.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Show me how little piggies eat. That happens that.
- 1:42Speaker 4: That is correct, Mobby's little piggy.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Anyway, The point is that he don't do that. He's
- 1:47Speaker 3: playing with his food. That's the Nuggets against the jazz
- 1:50Speaker 3: jazz schmaz snashy flaz.
- 1:52Speaker 5: I hate the jazz.
- 1:53Speaker 4: That's what it feels like.
- 1:54Speaker 2: You know, well, I need the Nuggets to show me
- 1:56Speaker 2: how little piggies eat tonight, because that's what I need.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here's the thing, MOO is we're gonna talk
- 2:02Speaker 2: to Bennar at eight o'clock this morning to get an
- 2:04Speaker 2: update on Cam mccarr, which is, from what we've seen yesterday,
- 2:08Speaker 2: a good update if you can have that for a
- 2:11Speaker 2: guy getting hurt this late in the year. According to
- 2:14Speaker 2: Pierre Lebron, my boy, here's the latest. Team is still
- 2:20Speaker 2: evaluating his recovery. Timeline, but is not believed to be
- 2:23Speaker 2: long term. He will likely miss a few games in
- 2:26Speaker 2: order to get him to one hundred percent before the playoffs,
- 2:30Speaker 2: which is the only part of that sentence you need
- 2:32Speaker 2: to hear.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Everything is coming together in a positive way. The Dallas Stars.
- 2:38Speaker 3: For those of you who are not math majors out there,
- 2:41Speaker 3: let me do some math for you. The magic number
- 2:45Speaker 3: for the Colorado Avalanche to secure the number one spot
- 2:48Speaker 3: in the West and president strophe is three. Any combination
- 2:55Speaker 3: of three regulation wins for the Avs or three regulation
- 2:59Speaker 3: loss for the Stars, and the ABS have got it clinched.
- 3:03Speaker 3: That means the Avs. That means the Stars can lose
- 3:05Speaker 3: another one and the Avs win too, they clinch.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah, Stars can lose two, the.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Abs win one, they clinch. The Avs can just win
- 3:11Speaker 3: all three they clinch. The ABS can win five out
- 3:13Speaker 3: of the last nine games, and they're blowing their doors off.
- 3:16Speaker 3: You get what I'm saying.
- 3:17Speaker 2: How about the Stars just do what they've been doing,
- 3:19Speaker 2: which is lose.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, I mean, that's that's absolutely true. I'm
- 3:23Speaker 3: just saying to you that any combination and you are there.
- 3:27Speaker 4: You're ready to go. So the fact is that resting
- 3:32Speaker 4: kil mccarr.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Could have been on the agenda anyway, right, So I
- 3:36Speaker 3: don't see this as anything other than a man.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Dodge did a little bit little dodgy dodge. Yeah, can
- 3:46Speaker 4: dodge or ranch.
- 3:47Speaker 2: You can dodge a puck, chill out and be ready
- 3:51Speaker 2: to go. The great thing here is that you know
- 3:57Speaker 2: whatever route you want to take, and you're right. Maybe
- 4:00Speaker 2: this has gotten to the point where you're thinking about
- 4:02Speaker 2: resting guys already. I mean, I know you stuff will
- 4:04Speaker 2: win a couple of more games. We all kind of
- 4:06Speaker 2: get that, but it really feels like to me motion
- 4:10Speaker 2: the Avs, with how they're playing, they could sleepwalk the
- 4:13Speaker 2: last portion of the schedule and get the necessary amount
- 4:15Speaker 2: that they need.
- 4:16Speaker 4: I want you to do that today. Ladies.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Don't jump my gun. Only I can jump my own gun.
- 4:24Speaker 3: You don't jump my gun, Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I
- 4:27Speaker 3: would request today that Brett Kane Saity coach Bednar that
- 4:33Speaker 3: looks like you guys can just sort of sleep walk
- 4:35Speaker 3: the rest of the way and then see what his
- 4:38Speaker 3: reaction is. Because he likes you for god knows what reason. Yeah,
- 4:44Speaker 3: and because of that, I think he'd probably throttle it
- 4:46Speaker 3: back a little bit. But if it was me asking
- 4:49Speaker 3: that question, he'd probably go, but you're an idiot. I
- 4:51Speaker 3: would never say that to a coach. I would never
- 4:55Speaker 3: do that because I know what the response is. But
- 4:57Speaker 3: for me, a fan that doesn't need to worry about.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Staring guys face in the locker room, I can kind
- 5:02Speaker 2: of say whatever I want.
- 5:06Speaker 4: What going to be.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Shut them off for a second nelly place, set them
- 5:11Speaker 3: off for a second place.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Just shut them off.
- 5:14Speaker 3: This is going to be a very tough emotional day
- 5:19Speaker 3: for our partner when I watch Italy play soccer against
- 5:26Speaker 3: the dregs of Earth.
- 5:27Speaker 4: And that's that's all it is.
- 5:29Speaker 3: The teams that are not already into the World Cup
- 5:31Speaker 3: at this point, they are dregs of the earth, right
- 5:35Speaker 3: They might as well live on an island somewhere in
- 5:38Speaker 3: the middle of the Indian Ocean and never seen a
- 5:40Speaker 3: soccer ball. That's who these teams are trying to get in. Yet, yesterday,
- 5:47Speaker 3: the Italians, with a long splendorous history of soccer four
- 5:52Speaker 3: World Cups to their name, tied Bosnia Herzegovina in regulation.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Shouldn't been lost in penalties to miss the World Cup.
- 6:03Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
- 6:04Speaker 2: So for the second consecutive time.
- 6:06Speaker 4: Yeah, we will not be rubbing it in today.
- 6:08Speaker 2: No, anybody, I'd never.
- 6:11Speaker 4: First of all, you.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Third consecutive time, third straight World Cup.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Oh, I was just trying to help you.
- 6:19Speaker 5: Sports has become too important for me. No, I'm dead serious.
- 6:25Speaker 5: I'm dead serious. I mean, these the older I get,
- 6:29Speaker 5: I thought I would be able to relax more and
- 6:33Speaker 5: like just shake it off. I was up at three
- 6:38Speaker 5: point fifteen am watching YouTube videos from people in Italy,
- 6:44Speaker 5: the morning shows in Italy discussing what's happening. What are
- 6:48Speaker 5: they saying? Shut it down, pull it up, shut it down,
- 6:56Speaker 5: and blow it up. I again, most people listening to
- 6:59Speaker 5: this show ninety nine percent don't care. And I get it.
- 7:03Speaker 6: I get it.
- 7:03Speaker 5: But just understand where I'm at today. Understand where I'm
- 7:06Speaker 5: coming from. Today. At least we have baseball.
- 7:11Speaker 2: You know what, can you.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Imagine twenty twenty six team Italy playing in the semi
- 7:21Speaker 3: finals of the World Baseball Classic, yet their soccer team
- 7:26Speaker 3: can't even qualify against the dregs of Earth to get
- 7:31Speaker 3: into the World Cup. I mean, you should see some
- 7:34Speaker 3: of the countries that are in the World Cup.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Well, the qualifiers are stupid too, the way they geographically
- 7:40Speaker 5: allow some teams in. I mean, you know, it's very
- 7:43Speaker 5: much like it's it's anti what I mean, the best
- 7:47Speaker 5: team should be in the World Cup, the best teams,
- 7:50Speaker 5: the best forty eight teams, whatever it's it's expanded to.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Now they let everybody in and they couldn't even get in.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, not quite exactly. I texted Vic this morning because
- 8:04Speaker 2: he was a couple of minutes without his screen being on,
- 8:08Speaker 2: and I didn't realize he just needed a second to
- 8:11Speaker 2: WU saw before this. I asked him, what was today
- 8:14Speaker 2: the jury duty day?
- 8:15Speaker 5: I wish?
- 8:17Speaker 2: I wish, because I swear you would have sent people street.
- 8:21Speaker 2: You would have taken out that Italian anger on whatever
- 8:24Speaker 2: poor soul was sitting stilty, old lady Jesus, you shouldn't
- 8:28Speaker 2: have been walking there.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Oh my god.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Anyway, again, Bednar's gonna join us at eight o'clock this morning,
- 8:35Speaker 2: and the good news from yesterday is and we'll get
- 8:38Speaker 2: more detail on this with him. I mean they're in
- 8:40Speaker 2: about an hour. Is that cal mccarr does not seem
- 8:43Speaker 2: to be missing any expanded time, which would include postseason.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Can I offer one last thing about my problem? Here
- 8:50Speaker 5: today because my brothers, you know, we watched the game together.
- 8:53Speaker 5: Moja didn't show up as.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Usual because I was not going to bring pizzas.
- 8:57Speaker 5: But we got our own pizzas. We didn't need your
- 8:58Speaker 5: stupid pizzas. And my brother said, what is this like?
- 9:03Speaker 5: What is this equal to? What is this like? And
- 9:06Speaker 5: I said, this would be like. This would be like
- 9:10Speaker 5: Duke basketball not making the NCAA tournament for twelve consecutive years.
- 9:17Speaker 5: That's what it would be like. It's similar to that.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Yeah, if Mosha showed up with Little Caesar's pizza, would
- 9:25Speaker 2: that be more offensive than no pizza at all?
- 9:27Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 9:27Speaker 5: We just left them at the door.
- 9:29Speaker 3: I just want to know what happened to all the
- 9:31Speaker 3: great Italian soccer players of the last thirty years. Did
- 9:34Speaker 3: they all go celibate? They're not making little soccer babies.
- 9:37Speaker 4: What are they doing?
- 9:38Speaker 5: I don't know, but like I said yesterday, I said.
- 9:42Speaker 4: No soccer babies in Italy.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Bro here, here's what you have to do. Close the borders,
- 9:47Speaker 5: stop producing pizzas, espresso, Lamborghini's ferraris, Stop exploiting all that stuff.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Olive oil, dude, all oil, everybody, shut it all, shut
- 9:57Speaker 5: it all. Down. No tourists alive, but the olive oil
- 10:00Speaker 5: so good. No tourism at all, and focus on fixing
- 10:04Speaker 5: your game. That's it.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Focus on getting it on. That's what I would That's
- 10:10Speaker 3: what I would do. I would just focus. I get
- 10:12Speaker 3: all the great soccer players and say how much you.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Got left in you.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't know what else to do,
- 10:19Speaker 2: because they're.
- 10:21Speaker 5: Terrible great news though on Kale. I mean some would
- 10:24Speaker 5: see it as bad news.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Most you're pointing this out, and
- 10:28Speaker 2: I think it's it's true. Look, it's not the scenario
- 10:30Speaker 2: that you wanted. But my guess is with Dallas losing
- 10:34Speaker 2: again last night, you only need you only need a
- 10:38Speaker 2: couple more wins in order to clinch this number one
- 10:42Speaker 2: overall seed. You're eight points up, you have two games
- 10:44Speaker 2: in hand on Dallas. You get a couple more wins,
- 10:46Speaker 2: this thing's wrapped up.
- 10:47Speaker 4: It's over.
- 10:47Speaker 2: You're probably thinking about resting him at some point in
- 10:51Speaker 2: the near future anyway, so you can just use this
- 10:53Speaker 2: as another reason to it. Now. Maybe you want to
- 10:57Speaker 2: get him in for what Mosa game or two before
- 10:59Speaker 2: the playoffs. One hundred percent.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not just gonna go in Willie Million say hey,
- 11:03Speaker 3: have fun. No, man, you're absolutely going to. Uh, you're
- 11:07Speaker 3: absolutely going to you know, put him in there and
- 11:11Speaker 3: get him some time and get him back feeling good.
- 11:14Speaker 4: He doesn't need much. I mean, he's the best in
- 11:16Speaker 4: the world, so he doesn't need much.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, there is I think a a massive sigh
- 11:22Speaker 2: of relief within that room, because again we're all trying
- 11:26Speaker 2: to remember we were parsing through the tone of Bennar
- 11:29Speaker 2: after the.
- 11:29Speaker 4: Gamebody went out to get evaluated. Well, we'll know more tomorrow.
- 11:35Speaker 4: I don't have an update.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Really Well, it turns out that it's not all that
- 11:39Speaker 2: bad seemingly now. I also think unless kel mccarr's arm
- 11:46Speaker 2: or whatever was ailing his upper body was about to
- 11:49Speaker 2: fall off, my guess is he would probably inject something
- 11:52Speaker 2: in him to be ready for the playoffs. Anyway, you've
- 11:54Speaker 2: been injected before, right to keep going. I have not.
- 11:59Speaker 4: It's a wonderful feeling well less.
- 12:02Speaker 2: But like a tortole or something like that, Yeah, where
- 12:05Speaker 2: have you had it?
- 12:06Speaker 4: It helps?
- 12:07Speaker 3: It helps a lot. Corrizona tort all that helps legs, elbow.
- 12:11Speaker 5: They give you the goo, yeah, the go.
- 12:16Speaker 4: We're gonna get more to it with the coach here
- 12:17Speaker 4: in about forty five minutes.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a I've got a plan for Vic
- 12:24Speaker 3: and his his heritage country. I don't know, Vic, I
- 12:28Speaker 3: don't know if you're up for this. I think you're
- 12:29Speaker 3: probably up for anything. Here's what you deal if you're
- 12:33Speaker 3: the government. Do they have like navy seal teams in Italy?
- 12:37Speaker 5: Guy, my breath is awful this morning. I'm like, I
- 12:42Speaker 5: almost vomited on my own breath.
- 12:43Speaker 4: He's smelling his own self.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Okay, I swear have you ever done that before?
- 12:48Speaker 4: Smelled myself?
- 12:49Speaker 6: No?
- 12:49Speaker 5: Like, well, you got a whit for your own breath,
- 12:52Speaker 5: and you're like, what the hell did you brush your teeth? No,
- 12:56Speaker 5: I'm not doing anything.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, you're just giving up.
- 12:59Speaker 5: Yeah. In one of those modes, I was up for
- 13:01Speaker 5: three and a half hours looking at YouTube videos.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Right, there's what you do whatever.
- 13:06Speaker 3: The Italian answer to navy seals is, first of all,
- 13:10Speaker 3: you kidnaps Loton.
- 13:13Speaker 2: I don't think that you'd have to kidnap him. I
- 13:15Speaker 2: think he'd be willing.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Well, okay, first of all, you got to break up
- 13:17Speaker 4: his marriage.
- 13:19Speaker 5: Well, that you have to do.
- 13:19Speaker 3: He's not well to do that. Now this is off
- 13:22Speaker 3: this is for the country. This is not you know,
- 13:25Speaker 3: nobody wants to do that, but this is for the
- 13:26Speaker 3: betterment of the world. Right fact, then he says a
- 13:29Speaker 3: lot time once you come on and uh, honorary Italian citizenship.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I don't know at this point. I guess I would
- 13:36Speaker 3: be willing to try anything.
- 13:37Speaker 4: I don't know. Well, he already has that in mind.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that the seed was planted in
- 13:43Speaker 3: his mind twenty five years ago should tell you something.
- 13:46Speaker 3: We got double dipper roots an the ass will be
- 13:49Speaker 3: on ninety two five at six point thirty, the Nuggets
- 13:53Speaker 3: on a nine fifty at seven o'clock.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Can we come back? I want to.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Want to talk to some people about some things about
- 14:02Speaker 3: this hockey thing.
- 14:03Speaker 4: If that's all right?
- 14:04Speaker 3: What uh yep, there's people chiming in. Well, I just
- 14:09Speaker 3: want to lay I want to lay it out one
- 14:10Speaker 3: more time to make people feel good about where they are.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Get to that.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I have Sean Payton audio yesterday from the owners meetings
- 14:17Speaker 2: as well some comments that he made about Joe what
- 14:19Speaker 2: specifically what's been going on with their roster instruction this
- 14:23Speaker 2: off season and why it's been very resigned heavy so
- 14:26Speaker 2: We'll get to all that in a couple of minutes.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Instagram yum, muh uh your mom, oh, yumm uh yeah, ma,
- 14:36Speaker 3: ma huh, mom, mama, your mom, mamma, and your mom
- 14:41Speaker 3: and your mom and your mom and your mom.
- 14:47Speaker 2: All right, moj I want to get to Sean Payton audio.
- 14:50Speaker 2: So what did you have to say to somebody?
- 14:52Speaker 4: Just real quick?
- 14:52Speaker 3: For Joe see Joe chimes in the Magic Numbers four.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I'm like, Joe, man, come on, man, Joe.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Being so rude to him.
- 15:02Speaker 3: Because people just make declarative statements like they think that
- 15:05Speaker 3: they're the authority on this. And I love Joe's enthusiasm.
- 15:08Speaker 3: But Joe, let me explain. The Dallas Stars have seven
- 15:11Speaker 3: games left in the regular season. So if they win
- 15:14Speaker 3: all seven games, Brett, how many points is that?
- 15:18Speaker 5: Sorry?
- 15:18Speaker 2: I wasn't paying attention. I was looking at something to
- 15:19Speaker 2: say it again?
- 15:22Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, the Stars have seven games left, Yes, if
- 15:24Speaker 3: they win all.
- 15:25Speaker 4: Of them, how many points total is that?
- 15:26Speaker 2: Fourteen?
- 15:27Speaker 4: They currently have one hundred points, So what's the maximum
- 15:30Speaker 4: number of points they can get?
- 15:31Speaker 3: And fourteen the Avs have one hundred and eight? How
- 15:33Speaker 3: many points do they need to get to one hundred
- 15:36Speaker 3: and fourteen six. How many wins is that three? What's
- 15:39Speaker 3: the magic number three? Because the Abs hold every tie
- 15:42Speaker 3: breaker against the Dallas Stars, the magic number is three.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Any combination over of three regulation wins for the Abs, and.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Stop it.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Well, Joe is and Joe makes me frustrated.
- 15:57Speaker 5: No, Joe's not fighting that, He's just fighting your numbers.
- 15:59Speaker 5: He just wants to fight. Okay, love you, Joe. It's over.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Love you, Joe. Okay.
- 16:03Speaker 3: So that's that's the story there, magic numbers three, go ahead.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Brett Sean Payton yesterday at the owner's meeting, so they
- 16:10Speaker 2: made some rule changes. Now we'll get to those in
- 16:12Speaker 2: a bit. But he was talking about the beginning stages
- 16:15Speaker 2: of free agency and why the Broncos weren't participants in that.
- 16:19Speaker 7: He said this, that time of this season has been
- 16:23Speaker 7: marketed right in front of every one of your eyes.
- 16:27Speaker 7: What's the next word that comes after free agency? From
- 16:30Speaker 7: the NFL Network, from NFL dot com, what is it? Frenzy?
- 16:34Speaker 7: Frenzy is is what you don't want, and frenzy implies
- 16:39Speaker 7: it has to happen. Chaos. Ah, it's all marketing. So steady, right, decision,
- 16:49Speaker 7: what's our plans, stick with our plan, tune out the noise.
- 16:52Speaker 6: SAME's going to apply to this draft.
- 16:55Speaker 2: So I understand his point here, but you can't. That
- 17:02Speaker 2: feels like a little bit of a misleading statement. I
- 17:05Speaker 2: know it's build his free agent frenzy. But I know
- 17:07Speaker 2: when Sean Payton first took over here, they were the frenzy.
- 17:12Speaker 2: They got Ben Powers, Mike McGlinchey, and Zach Allen in
- 17:14Speaker 2: the span of like three hours. Too huge.
- 17:18Speaker 3: If there's huge, If there's a tackle, if you're desperate
- 17:21Speaker 3: for a tackle and there's a tackle you really like
- 17:25Speaker 3: and you have the money for it, you know what
- 17:27Speaker 3: you do? You sign him immediately? Or are you part
- 17:31Speaker 3: of the frenzy? Yeah, you're part of the problem. Sean,
- 17:33Speaker 3: don't friend, don't throw this frenzy out of me. When
- 17:36Speaker 3: you frenzy your frenzy off just to frenzy it, don't
- 17:39Speaker 3: I mean, don't, don't be smug like no, we were
- 17:42Speaker 3: smarter and cool with everybody else. We want to take
- 17:44Speaker 3: it what we want to take its loose.
- 17:45Speaker 2: What did that guy say to me? We don't want
- 17:48Speaker 2: to Uh? The texture said we don't want to be
- 17:51Speaker 2: something at the beginning of free agency, and it set
- 17:56Speaker 2: me off because I was just talking about how the
- 17:57Speaker 2: Broncos having signed a single player in like five days.
- 18:00Speaker 2: What was that word, something about.
- 18:03Speaker 5: Wildly aggressive? Yeah, yeah, violently, violently aggressive or something like that.
- 18:08Speaker 2: You can't you can't fall into a vicious cycle, Yeah,
- 18:12Speaker 2: a vicious cycle of signing free agents. Now, look, I
- 18:15Speaker 2: think if they came out and they said this, but
- 18:18Speaker 2: this is what they aren't willing to do, And that's
- 18:20Speaker 2: why I'm confused. If they just said, you know what,
- 18:23Speaker 2: we only have X amount of cap space and we
- 18:26Speaker 2: liked our own guys a lot, so we decided to
- 18:28Speaker 2: spend money on bringing our guys back, I think that's
- 18:32Speaker 2: the answer that you're looking for. And then, hey, guess what, guys,
- 18:35Speaker 2: we went out, we made the big move of going
- 18:36Speaker 2: to get Jayleen Model.
- 18:39Speaker 4: But they didn't say that.
- 18:41Speaker 2: They're almost making this seem like it's normal for a
- 18:44Speaker 2: team to have this little activity in an off season.
- 18:47Speaker 2: It's not. Look, I'm not even saying it's wrong, but
- 18:50Speaker 2: it's certainly not normal what the Broncos did this offseason,
- 18:53Speaker 2: which was nothing for like over a week, and then
- 18:57Speaker 2: make a big trade like that's not a normal offseason
- 19:00Speaker 2: for really anybody even really really good teams. But he
- 19:05Speaker 2: goes on to talk about a couple other details, and
- 19:08Speaker 2: one of them I was very confused by, I think
- 19:11Speaker 2: a lot of people were, was the re signing of
- 19:13Speaker 2: Troutman for the number that they signed him to. This
- 19:16Speaker 2: is Sean Payton on why they resigned Adam Troutman.
- 19:19Speaker 7: You know exactly what you're getting in the player, and
- 19:22Speaker 7: so look, if we want to run the ball, well,
- 19:26Speaker 7: he's one of the better blocking tight ends. He's really
- 19:29Speaker 7: good in pass protection.
- 19:31Speaker 6: We evaluate every ounce of the tape.
- 19:33Speaker 7: So like beade leary of someone that grabs three clips,
- 19:37Speaker 7: we know exactly what Adam is and that was just
- 19:40Speaker 7: going to take time to see where the market valued him.
- 19:43Speaker 7: And so I'm glad he's back, and I don't take
- 19:46Speaker 7: him for granted because we knew. Look, when you have
- 19:50Speaker 7: Declan who's left, and you have these other coaches, Pete
- 19:54Speaker 7: and Jim.
- 19:55Speaker 6: The other challenge with that is they have a little bit.
- 19:58Speaker 7: More exposure to your free agents relative to and so
- 20:03Speaker 7: that was a little bit.
- 20:04Speaker 6: Of a concern.
- 20:05Speaker 5: Okay, I can buy all of that. He knows his
- 20:07Speaker 5: players better than we do.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Clearly.
- 20:10Speaker 5: I guess my bottom line would be if if he's
- 20:14Speaker 5: such a great blocking tight end, and I get it,
- 20:16Speaker 5: he might be, he might be upper tier. Why do
- 20:19Speaker 5: they have trouble running the ball? If all this is correct? Right,
- 20:25Speaker 5: So if I'm to believe this all right, then let
- 20:28Speaker 5: me put it all together. They have one of the
- 20:30Speaker 5: best offensive lines in football. Correct. Yes, they have one
- 20:35Speaker 5: of the best blocking tight ends in football. Correct supposed
- 20:40Speaker 5: to correct? Yeah, so what's the problem.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Well, that can take me to another clip if you'd like.
- 20:49Speaker 5: I'm just putting those together. So if you have all
- 20:52Speaker 5: of that, we saw all of that, We understand all
- 20:55Speaker 5: of that, and I agree with you. You can assess your
- 20:57Speaker 5: players better than we can. Neo fights. We have no idea.
- 21:02Speaker 2: So why Kate you run again?
- 21:06Speaker 6: Vic?
- 21:07Speaker 2: I'm gonna push back on you on this.
- 21:09Speaker 5: I know you. I know what you're gonna say. Well,
- 21:11Speaker 5: they were a great running game, they were a great
- 21:13Speaker 5: running team, and then they and then they fell off.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I know what you're saying. So you mean to tell me.
- 21:18Speaker 2: That the wheels will fall off.
- 21:21Speaker 5: If that one particular running back is not in the game.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Well, I'll bring this back again. Something if the.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Wheels fall off in Seattle when they lost one of
- 21:28Speaker 5: their running backs.
- 21:30Speaker 2: No, but they had two good backs And this is
- 21:35Speaker 2: why I keep on.
- 21:37Speaker 5: So what am I telling in a circle? What am
- 21:39Speaker 5: I telling you?
- 21:39Speaker 2: Well, this is what I was trying to get at.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Yesterday when we were talking about this, I said they
- 21:43Speaker 2: were a good running team with JK. Dobbins.
- 21:47Speaker 4: JK.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Dobbins was the fourth highest leading rusher in the league
- 21:51Speaker 2: when he left, And I said, I think they're their focus.
- 21:57Speaker 2: And how many times have George Peyton Sean Payton mentioned
- 22:01Speaker 2: the idea of helping out the running back room. Why
- 22:03Speaker 2: do you think they were? At least in on conversation
- 22:06Speaker 2: conversations on Travis ETN. Why reportedly was Breece Hall franchise
- 22:12Speaker 2: tagged because they were scared the Broncers are going to
- 22:15Speaker 2: throw a number at him. So here's what he said
- 22:17Speaker 2: about the running back room.
- 22:19Speaker 6: So right now, I'm going to answer the question.
- 22:20Speaker 7: But that could be a position that gets addressed if
- 22:24Speaker 7: the opportunity presents itself. Look, we love the way our
- 22:27Speaker 7: j played. We ran it more consistently earlier in the
- 22:31Speaker 7: year than we did later in the year. I don't
- 22:33Speaker 7: like how we rushed it in the postseason. It's one
- 22:36Speaker 7: way to take pressure off your quarterback and I think
- 22:40Speaker 7: that's that'll be a focus.
- 22:42Speaker 3: But dude kills me though, Dude, dude kills this. Dude
- 22:44Speaker 3: absolutely slays me. What dude, when you don't do something,
- 22:54Speaker 3: everyone else is in a hole and they're feeding into
- 22:57Speaker 3: this marketing scheme.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Okay, but hang on, hang on, hand Oka, before you
- 23:00Speaker 2: go back to that. Sure, I just want to touch
- 23:03Speaker 2: on this thing because, oh please do I'm sorry. He
- 23:05Speaker 2: talked about the running back room and how that's Hey,
- 23:08Speaker 2: it sounds like that's still a major priority for them,
- 23:11Speaker 2: like that could be a major target in draft.
- 23:13Speaker 4: I think it should be.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Why it's not because solely JK. Dobbins gets hurt a lot.
- 23:23Speaker 2: It's because I don't say I saw a quote two
- 23:28Speaker 2: months ago from Sean Payton saying, we really like RJ. Harvey.
- 23:31Speaker 2: He needs to work on his running game. What's his position.
- 23:35Speaker 2: It's running back. So maybe you like him catching the
- 23:37Speaker 2: ball out of the backfield, or maybe you like X,
- 23:39Speaker 2: Y and z of what he does. But I think
- 23:41Speaker 2: all of this translates to number one. They're happy with JK. Dobbins,
- 23:46Speaker 2: but they know he can't stay healthy and when he
- 23:48Speaker 2: inevitably gets hurt, what do we do now, and I
- 23:51Speaker 2: don't think they want that answer to be go back
- 23:52Speaker 2: to ur J. Harvey again, I don't think.
- 23:55Speaker 5: So, which is why I'm one hundred percent with you.
- 23:59Speaker 5: Why I firmly believe they're going to either draft a
- 24:02Speaker 5: running back or trade for another running back.
- 24:06Speaker 4: I believe that. Now.
- 24:08Speaker 5: What sets that, what makes that complex is if you're
- 24:11Speaker 5: going to do that, why would you resign all the
- 24:14Speaker 5: other backs.
- 24:14Speaker 2: That you had in case in case it doesn't work.
- 24:18Speaker 5: In case so okay, but then now you're committed to
- 24:21Speaker 5: those salaries.
- 24:22Speaker 2: I mean again, the report was Breese Hall was franchise
- 24:26Speaker 2: tagged by the Jets because the Broncos were sniffing around
- 24:29Speaker 2: a lot on Breese Hall.
- 24:30Speaker 4: I don't mind that.
- 24:31Speaker 5: That was like for the JK.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Dobbins thing though, before they signed Jbbs.
- 24:35Speaker 5: Yes, yes, and you know we've heard all those stories
- 24:38Speaker 5: and then they went to JK. Dobbins. What I'm saying is,
- 24:41Speaker 5: if your intention is to go bring another running back
- 24:44Speaker 5: into that room, which I believe they should do, I
- 24:47Speaker 5: really do. I believe the running back room can use
- 24:50Speaker 5: a bigger back, a bigger back, then why resign every
- 24:54Speaker 5: running back in your cycle?
- 24:56Speaker 4: Why?
- 24:58Speaker 2: Security is the only thing I can think of.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Okay, and here's the second thing, because yesterday somebody brought
- 25:02Speaker 5: this up. Somebody argued this point, and I felt the
- 25:05Speaker 5: same way. I said, if you can't run the ball
- 25:08Speaker 5: in certain situations, and the best case, you've got the
- 25:11Speaker 5: ball on the thirty three yard line in the AFC
- 25:14Speaker 5: title game on your home turf, and granted there was
- 25:17Speaker 5: a mini blizzard happening, but the ball's on the thirty
- 25:21Speaker 5: three yard line. Not only can you not gain a
- 25:24Speaker 5: yard running the ball, you lose yards running the ball.
- 25:27Speaker 5: And people said, well, then what's your problem? The problem
- 25:30Speaker 5: is probably the offensive line. The problem is that the
- 25:33Speaker 5: offensive line cannot run block properly. And would I would
- 25:37Speaker 5: believe most of you when you say that. I would say, Okay,
- 25:40Speaker 5: you're right, you make a great point. Maybe they're not
- 25:42Speaker 5: as good as we think they are. Until I ask
- 25:46Speaker 5: somebody like Terrell Davis, And I asked him at the
- 25:49Speaker 5: Super Bowl. I asked him, this is a couple weeks later,
- 25:52Speaker 5: what is wrong with this run game? Why couldn't they
- 25:56Speaker 5: gain a yard when they needed a yard? He said,
- 25:59Speaker 5: it's the running back, He said, it's the running backs.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Do you remember that? Do you remember what he said?
- 26:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, he.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Said the running backs that if the offensive line doesn't
- 26:09Speaker 5: have belief in the back behind him, you're not gonna
- 26:12Speaker 5: get anywhere. He blamed the backs. So what have you
- 26:16Speaker 5: done to the backfield?
- 26:17Speaker 3: It's the same backfield that you've done nothing so far?
- 26:19Speaker 3: So far, you've done nothing. Can I get to the
- 26:22Speaker 3: part that slays me?
- 26:22Speaker 5: Though?
- 26:23Speaker 4: Sure, dude kills me.
- 26:27Speaker 3: He's not necessarily wrong where the NFL wants to market
- 26:30Speaker 3: free agency and wants to be your tops and all
- 26:33Speaker 3: the talking head shows in ESPN and everything else in
- 26:36Speaker 3: great Greg.
- 26:36Speaker 4: Right, he's not wrong about that.
- 26:38Speaker 3: The NFL is nothing but a marketing arm in addition
- 26:42Speaker 3: to football.
- 26:44Speaker 4: But to act like you're above the fray, to act like, well.
- 26:48Speaker 3: We you know, we don't participate in such shenanigans.
- 26:53Speaker 4: We're above all that.
- 26:55Speaker 3: We looked down on nose upon those teams that jump
- 26:58Speaker 3: into the market.
- 27:00Speaker 4: It's marketing.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Yeah, by ass.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Last year, what do you you know what even I mean,
- 27:06Speaker 3: let's just go back one year ago.
- 27:08Speaker 4: What happened last year?
- 27:11Speaker 3: They couldn't wait to throw money at Hufanga in green
- 27:14Speaker 3: Law before free agency even began. You want to talk frenzy,
- 27:19Speaker 3: the deals were announced two days before free agency even started.
- 27:24Speaker 3: And yes, so don't act like you're above the free
- 27:28Speaker 3: You were frenzied last year. You're like, we gotta get
- 27:31Speaker 3: the safety out of San France, we gotta get green
- 27:35Speaker 3: lot of sand fran We gotta get Zach Gallen re signed.
- 27:37Speaker 3: I mean they were frenzied up there. They were foaming
- 27:39Speaker 3: at their own mouths.
- 27:41Speaker 2: I don't think it, but I just.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Don't like that.
- 27:45Speaker 3: You can, you know, saying, look, we like some guys,
- 27:48Speaker 3: but not at the price they came at.
- 27:51Speaker 4: That's fair. That's fine to say that's fair.
- 27:53Speaker 3: But don't act like you're cooler and better than everybody
- 27:55Speaker 3: else because we don't do that kind of thing.
- 27:58Speaker 4: That's a putoff.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Man.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit dishonest what he was
- 28:03Speaker 2: talking about. Oh you think like it's just it's look, man,
- 28:09Speaker 2: I wasn't suckered into some marketing scheme. I was waiting
- 28:13Speaker 2: for a team that was on the cusp of a
- 28:14Speaker 2: Super Bowl to make an external move that could help them,
- 28:17Speaker 2: that's all. And if they said we looked at the market,
- 28:20Speaker 2: we didn't find anybody for the right price that we
- 28:22Speaker 2: thought could do that for us. So we decided to
- 28:24Speaker 2: sign our own guys back. I think everybody would be like,
- 28:27Speaker 2: whether they agreed or disagreed, they'd be like, okay, like,
- 28:29Speaker 2: obviously that makes sense considering your actions. And that's what
- 28:33Speaker 2: you did.
- 28:33Speaker 5: You know it is April Fool's Day, so you mentioned
- 28:35Speaker 5: the word suckered. Have you guys gotten hit yet? And
- 28:38Speaker 5: I've gotten a few of these. Have you gotten hit
- 28:40Speaker 5: with the fake traffic ticket like red light? Fake red
- 28:46Speaker 5: light ticket with a take a picture of a citation
- 28:51Speaker 5: and text it to you and demand payment. Have you
- 28:54Speaker 5: gotten that yet?
- 28:55Speaker 2: Haven't gotten that? I got hit with the four seventy.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Your account is overdrawn. You're gonna be pulled over unless
- 29:01Speaker 2: you give me eight thousand dollars.
- 29:03Speaker 5: I got it with a couple of those out of
- 29:05Speaker 5: state too, out of state like you say for your toll.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Didn't you say Italy hit you with one of those?
- 29:10Speaker 5: Yeah? I think that was real. Now anything every time
- 29:14Speaker 5: I said an email, that's.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Why it missed the world, because you weren't paying on
- 29:18Speaker 2: their money.
- 29:19Speaker 5: I sent an email to Italy after I got they
- 29:21Speaker 5: asked me for my money. I said, fix your freaking
- 29:24Speaker 5: soccer team and you will talk.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Dude, every time I go to it, I guess I
- 29:27Speaker 3: got one too. They have like up to a year
- 29:29Speaker 3: to sinu a citation.
- 29:31Speaker 5: It's a joke. I'm not paying LEAs like this. Oh yeah,
- 29:35Speaker 5: by the way, you ruin my day, you ruin my week.
- 29:37Speaker 5: You ruined everything for my family. My family looks forward
- 29:40Speaker 5: to two things together we do. You know, it's funny.
- 29:42Speaker 5: We do several things together as a family. When I
- 29:44Speaker 5: say my family, I mean we get together and that's
- 29:47Speaker 5: one of those things we really cherish. We get together
- 29:49Speaker 5: and watch those games. And now you're denying me that
- 29:52Speaker 5: opportunity this summer. You ruin my family experience. You ruin
- 29:56Speaker 5: my nuclear family.
- 29:57Speaker 4: You did it.
- 29:58Speaker 5: You don't get any of my money, so shut up.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Italy's like this, She's completely correct, Like oh yeah, by
- 30:04Speaker 3: the way, when you were in Tively, you touch the
- 30:07Speaker 3: curb that had a piece of white paint on it
- 30:09Speaker 3: or something.
- 30:10Speaker 4: Camera saw it. Why I can't prove that I did it.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I don't.
- 30:15Speaker 3: I mean I drive so carefully in Europe, dude, like
- 30:18Speaker 3: I don't go down the road ways.
- 30:21Speaker 5: The young ends on this on this show are laughing
- 30:24Speaker 5: at us, at the olds because we're suckers, right, But
- 30:26Speaker 5: I cannot begin to tell you how many older people
- 30:30Speaker 5: with cell phones are getting suckered into some of these
- 30:33Speaker 5: things and phone calls. I'd love to know that how
- 30:38Speaker 5: much money is being pilfered by these robbers who call people,
- 30:42Speaker 5: these fake marketing companies. Yeah, the olds in our in
- 30:46Speaker 5: our country are getting absolutely robbed, and it's happening every day,
- 30:50Speaker 5: and it's sad mosh.
- 30:52Speaker 2: What you said reminds me of a joke from the
- 30:54Speaker 2: student saw over a decade ago. He said, I got
- 30:59Speaker 2: pulled over by the cops. I said, I said, do
- 31:02Speaker 2: you know I know what we pulled you over for? Said, no,
- 31:06Speaker 2: you ran a red light? And I said, who could
- 31:09Speaker 2: tell at the speed I was going?
- 31:13Speaker 4: Horror?
- 31:13Speaker 6: Horror, horror.
- 31:15Speaker 5: You know what I used, the old you know, the
- 31:16Speaker 5: excuse I used once I'm color blind. Yeah, he said,
- 31:20Speaker 5: that's no excuse.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like when you got pulled over
- 31:24Speaker 2: and he said, sorry for speeding, my speedometer is not working.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Here's another ticket for you.
- 31:29Speaker 3: Then here's what I want to know, as we get
- 31:31Speaker 3: to break VIC. Has anybody ever driven in Italy and
- 31:34Speaker 3: not gotten a ticket through the mail, Because I think
- 31:38Speaker 3: that they just they must be the government must know
- 31:40Speaker 3: every rental car across the country, and they just sent
- 31:43Speaker 3: him out. Yeah, you know what you did? No, I
- 31:46Speaker 3: drove very carefully in the speed limit.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Uh.
- 31:48Speaker 5: From the text line.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Bird, you know, Bird looked at you wrong?
- 31:52Speaker 5: Wick five four nine six. I'm a cop. I can
- 31:55Speaker 5: confirm with Lombardi's saying people are getting hundreds of thousands
- 31:57Speaker 5: of dollars stolen every day over cell phone schemes.
- 32:00Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:00Speaker 5: And then another person, William says, Vic, do you know
- 32:04Speaker 5: googling this? You could just google those things and you'll
- 32:06Speaker 5: find it's already reported as a scain. Hey, listen, dude,
- 32:09Speaker 5: Not everybody's a private investigator. I'm talking about some of
- 32:11Speaker 5: the olds in our society that were getting ripped off
- 32:14Speaker 5: every day. They're not googling everything. They're paying up. They're
- 32:17Speaker 5: just giving them money to people. It's sad, it's ridiculous.

- 33:09Speaker 2: a ton of movies. This dude, what dude?
- 33:14Speaker 3: Now?
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yes, him Nick Searcy, give me another picture. That's a yeah.
- 33:18Speaker 2: He's been in like he was in the TV show Justified.
- 33:21Speaker 2: He was in a whole bunch of movies in my life.
- 33:26Speaker 2: This guy started cooking me yesterday.
- 33:28Speaker 5: He did on X.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Yes, Nick Searcy is his name.
- 33:33Speaker 5: What did he say? Hey, let me try and go back, Nelly,
- 33:35Speaker 5: get him on the show. I'm dead serious, Let's get
- 33:39Speaker 5: him on the show.
- 33:39Speaker 2: The ref came to him afterwards and said nothing but
- 33:41Speaker 2: hearing Spry about it to put easier pain blowing a
- 33:44Speaker 2: nineteen point makes the whole thing even more delicious. I said,
- 33:47Speaker 2: I hate Duke, and he was then stop lying for
- 33:50Speaker 2: them like Nick I like when he I like movies
- 33:54Speaker 2: you're in? Or are you getting after me?
- 33:57Speaker 4: Do you hear what Hurley said?
- 33:58Speaker 3: By the way, he said that he thought the referee
- 34:02Speaker 3: was coming to him to chest bump.
- 34:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Well, my first reaction all the time after I do
- 34:07Speaker 2: something cool is the refor definite time left on the class, sir.
- 34:14Speaker 2: That's how I know. That's how I am even more convinced.
- 34:17Speaker 2: So you u confidence you listen to me, good, I'm
- 34:19Speaker 2: even more convinced that I'm correct on this. There is
- 34:22Speaker 2: no scenario in which a ref is going to walk
- 34:25Speaker 2: up and congratulate a coach when the game's still going on.
- 34:28Speaker 5: Nothing stokes the tribal fire like sports, especially on social media,
- 34:35Speaker 5: it's truly remarkable. If you have a take, or if
- 34:37Speaker 5: you say something you honestly believe, you will be attacked
- 34:40Speaker 5: from all angles. My latest welcome to the club, by
- 34:43Speaker 5: the way, thank you. My latest has been the SGA.
- 34:47Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys saw the stat from
- 34:49Speaker 5: SGA NBA NBA bases who tweeted it. SGA has twenty
- 34:56Speaker 5: five free throw attempts in one single game, which was
- 34:59Speaker 5: the other. That's more than Wimby and Joker have had
- 35:03Speaker 5: in each of their last five games combined. Okay, so
- 35:08Speaker 5: I retweeted that saying unreal. Oh my god. All I
- 35:13Speaker 5: said was the word unreal. And the responses have been
- 35:20Speaker 5: I'm telling you combative to say the least. Did you
- 35:22Speaker 5: get called a fruitcake?
- 35:23Speaker 6: Beta?
- 35:23Speaker 5: I've got called everything in the book because that's what happens.
- 35:26Speaker 5: You know, I'm into it with some guy that has
- 35:28Speaker 5: a cooking show in Oklahoma or something going on, and
- 35:31Speaker 5: this is what happened. That's a you know, sports is tribal.
- 35:33Speaker 5: It's your side, my So you.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Say a guy with a cooking show in Oklahoma's on you?
- 35:37Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 35:38Speaker 3: But Vick, what does Dan Hurley think that I'm a moron?
- 35:42Speaker 3: I know, now I may be I may be a moron.
- 35:45Speaker 2: But does he the worst commentators in the leak?
- 35:49Speaker 3: Well, you least you don't have that coming at you
- 35:51Speaker 3: because he was stupid as feed one more commentators broke
- 36:01Speaker 3: that's universal though, you would be pretty much this Dan
- 36:04Speaker 3: Hurley is that you. He says, Mike, are you ready
- 36:07Speaker 3: for this? This is how disingenuous this guy is.
- 36:11Speaker 2: I think I have this, I can send it to all,
- 36:12Speaker 2: but go ahead.
- 36:13Speaker 3: And now they must think, I mean, he must think
- 36:15Speaker 3: that we're all just this dumb, because who in the
- 36:18Speaker 3: world buys this explanation? You ready, really, at that point
- 36:21Speaker 3: in the game, we had had won, and Aers is
- 36:24Speaker 3: such an easy guy to work with during the game,
- 36:26Speaker 3: I thought he was coming over to chest bump me
- 36:28Speaker 3: to celebrate the shot. When in the history of college basketball,
- 36:32Speaker 3: even if the game is over, has a referee gone
- 36:36Speaker 3: to chest bump a coach. You're such a lying, disingenuous.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Get let me let me defend God, let me defend
- 36:46Speaker 5: him for a second.
- 36:48Speaker 2: I want to hear him. I want to hear your.
- 36:51Speaker 5: I'm playing Devil's advocate here. What if he and this
- 36:53Speaker 5: ref have a great relationship, So what the what.
- 36:56Speaker 3: If would ever chest bump ahead coach.
- 37:00Speaker 5: I'm not saying there's going to be a chest bump
- 37:03Speaker 5: is off the charts. I'm just saying, what if for
- 37:06Speaker 5: some reason, he thought that the ref was in his
- 37:09Speaker 5: face to say, yeah, shut him at job. I don't
- 37:12Speaker 5: I agree with you. I'm just saying I'm trying if
- 37:15Speaker 5: this were a court of law, and I'm laying out
- 37:17Speaker 5: all the evidence that would probably be the only evidence
- 37:20Speaker 5: I have.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Vic, we're friends. Let's say that you're coaching, so I
- 37:25Speaker 2: don't make those assumptions we're acquaintances. Let's say that you're
- 37:28Speaker 2: coaching Yukon and I'm the ref of that game, and
- 37:31Speaker 2: I just watched that wild finish and I know there's
- 37:34Speaker 2: point three left on the clock. I'm not gonna go
- 37:37Speaker 2: over there and give you an ass smack and at
- 37:39Speaker 2: a boy, I have a job that I'm doing. Okay,
- 37:44Speaker 2: that's impossible. In fact, if that did happen, that would
- 37:48Speaker 2: be in some ways, I think even worse than a
- 37:51Speaker 2: ref is that buddy buddy with one of the coaches
- 37:54Speaker 2: in the Elite eight, that there's maybe there's a conflict
- 37:57Speaker 2: of interest. I don't know.
- 37:59Speaker 3: I thought he was coming over to me to chest bump.
- 38:04Speaker 3: There's not even the most sick of fant husky lapping
- 38:09Speaker 3: morons on the planet. Don't believe that they can't because
- 38:13Speaker 3: if they do what it means, they can barely fog
- 38:15Speaker 3: a mirror. No, this is ridiculous, Vic, What if?
- 38:19Speaker 2: What if what's his name from Yukon? The kid who
- 38:21Speaker 2: hit the shot? What's his name again? Whatever his name is,
- 38:23Speaker 2: I can't remember his name. He hits and that ref goes, yes,
- 38:28Speaker 2: all right, all right, ball out of bounds? Is that
- 38:32Speaker 2: what he's saying? This guy was doing. He contained himself
- 38:34Speaker 2: long enough until he walked over to her.
- 38:36Speaker 5: I agree with you.
- 38:38Speaker 4: You gotta get seriously on find his representative.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Vic.
- 38:41Speaker 5: I don't know who that guy is. All right, let's
- 38:42Speaker 5: talk some serious basketball because the tournament, you know, that's
- 38:45Speaker 5: later on this weekend. We can discuss last night. A
- 38:48Speaker 5: couple of developments have occurred, and I'm starting to wonder
- 38:52Speaker 5: what this means to the Nuggets, right because I am
- 38:54Speaker 5: scoreboard watching like a madman. That's what I'm doing. Now,
- 38:57Speaker 5: that's what you do. Now, First he score, watch, you
- 39:00Speaker 5: set things up. What's gonna happen?
- 39:02Speaker 6: Next?
- 39:03Speaker 5: The Lakers win again. The Lakers have now won. They
- 39:07Speaker 5: beat Cleveland pretty handily forty two points for Luca. Get this,
- 39:12Speaker 5: the Lakers have won thirteen of their last fourteen. They've
- 39:17Speaker 5: won sixteen of their last nineteen games. They've got a
- 39:21Speaker 5: two game advantage on the Nuggets, actually three, because they
- 39:24Speaker 5: own the tiebreaker, so they would have to lose three
- 39:27Speaker 5: for the Nuggets to have a chance that race. In
- 39:29Speaker 5: my opinion, and my humble opinion, it's over.
- 39:32Speaker 2: It's done.
- 39:32Speaker 5: All right, it's over. This is nice as Stars avs.
- 39:35Speaker 2: It's done.
- 39:35Speaker 5: Yeah, that's over. So the Lakers will have the number
- 39:38Speaker 5: three seed. The Nuggets will have the four seed. All right, fine, fine,
- 39:41Speaker 5: that's I hope the Nuggets can hold out to the
- 39:43Speaker 5: four seed. The Nuggets, meanwhile, have a game and a
- 39:45Speaker 5: half advantage over Minnesota and Houston. The development that occurred,
- 39:49Speaker 5: Houston won last night, a game I didn't think they
- 39:51Speaker 5: were gonna win. They beat the Knicks and they're currently
- 39:54Speaker 5: deadlocked with Minnesota. The t Wolves have their own issues
- 40:00Speaker 5: Jaden McDaniels, and they've been pretty healthy, relatively healthy all
- 40:04Speaker 5: season long, the Tea Wolves, they've been one of the
- 40:06Speaker 5: healthier teams in this division. Well, Jaden McDaniels is out
- 40:11Speaker 5: at least through the playoffs or until the playoffs. I
- 40:14Speaker 5: should say he's we got a bone, Bruis. Yeah, and
- 40:17Speaker 5: they don't know about his availability come playoff time. That's
- 40:20Speaker 5: a key piece to their lineup. That's a key piece. Now.
- 40:24Speaker 5: I was telling you guys, I don't want to play
- 40:27Speaker 5: Minnesota in the first round. I want to play Houston.
- 40:30Speaker 5: Should I change my tune now that Jaden McDaniels is
- 40:33Speaker 5: if he what should I what should I want? Now?
- 40:36Speaker 3: Well, typically i'd say, what do you want to take
- 40:38Speaker 3: it on the wounded team. I think the answer is
- 40:40Speaker 3: yeah you do, oh, wounded team, wounded Badgeri'll fight even.
- 40:43Speaker 4: Harder to know.
- 40:44Speaker 5: I still want Houston, Okay.
- 40:47Speaker 4: And that's fine.
- 40:48Speaker 5: That's fine too, That's my preference.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Speaking of wounded. This was Adaman on PhD yesterday talking
- 40:52Speaker 2: about the Nuggets.
- 40:53Speaker 8: Aaron went through practice, which is a major positive. Doesn't
- 40:57Speaker 8: mean for certain he'll play tomorrow, but he went to
- 41:00Speaker 8: what he could go through as Heke and Spencer did
- 41:02Speaker 8: not practice today. We do have a shoot around tomorrow,
- 41:06Speaker 8: so that allows them another space to possibly get themselves active.
- 41:10Speaker 8: But yeah, man, that was crazy. Everybody from the same
- 41:14Speaker 8: position went down one day. But I was good to
- 41:16Speaker 8: see ag out there in active.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Joe, that's your update on Aaron, Gordon, Zeke, and Spencer Jones.
- 41:23Speaker 5: By the way, by virtue of Phoenix losing last night,
- 41:25Speaker 5: the Nuggets have clinched a playoffs spot. What I mean
- 41:27Speaker 5: by that they don't have to work their way through
- 41:29Speaker 5: the play in The worst they could do is the
- 41:31Speaker 5: sixth seed currently in the four seed, and you're looking
- 41:36Speaker 5: at how many games left. Six games remaining starting tonight
- 41:40Speaker 5: at Utah, one of two remaining road games. If they
- 41:44Speaker 5: can get to fifty two wins, which I think is
- 41:47Speaker 5: very much, very much doable, fifty two wins, it'll be
- 41:52Speaker 5: fifty two and thirty on the season. I think that
- 41:55Speaker 5: secures the four seed. Then you get home court in
- 41:57Speaker 5: the first round. And now it's a matter of who
- 41:59Speaker 5: you want. Do you want Minnesota or Houston?
- 42:03Speaker 4: I want Houston personally.
- 42:05Speaker 5: Do you want Houston or wounded Minnesota? Brent, Who do
- 42:08Speaker 5: you want Houston?
- 42:13Speaker 2: Just because Minnesota can still beat you up.
- 42:15Speaker 5: Even without McDaniels. He's a key piece to their defense,
- 42:18Speaker 5: to key piece five.
- 42:22Speaker 2: I hesitate though, because I'm just it might be just
- 42:26Speaker 2: an aura thing or whatever, but KD does make me
- 42:29Speaker 2: nervous no matter what.
- 42:30Speaker 3: Yeah, And did you see Shingoon passing the basketball the
- 42:33Speaker 3: other night? Dude, he's laying Dude, He's laying up some
- 42:37Speaker 3: of these be First of all, he's shooting it pretty
- 42:40Speaker 3: damn well, but he's laying up to some of these
- 42:41Speaker 3: beautiful ali oops.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Vic.
- 42:43Speaker 3: He's just floating up and I'm like, shing goon. Dude,
- 42:47Speaker 3: he's he's a good player.
- 42:49Speaker 5: That game, you, guys, is a good player. Fascinated or
- 42:52Speaker 5: worried about or maybe the proper word is, do you
- 42:57Speaker 5: have a new appreciation in fact for the La Lakers
- 43:02Speaker 5: after what they've done over the last two months of
- 43:04Speaker 5: the season?
- 43:06Speaker 4: No?
- 43:07Speaker 5: No, no, okay, So you don't think they're real.
- 43:11Speaker 2: I think they're as real as they were two months ago.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Just haven't changed.
- 43:14Speaker 4: Those are such different questions, Vic.
- 43:17Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, let me let me make it. I think
- 43:19Speaker 5: it hasn't changed my mind on an Okay, do you
- 43:21Speaker 5: think the Lakers can win the West?
- 43:23Speaker 4: No? No?
- 43:24Speaker 5: Do you think the Nuggets can win the West?
- 43:26Speaker 4: Yes? Okay.
- 43:26Speaker 5: So what's the difference in the Nuggets and the Lakers.
- 43:29Speaker 4: Nuggets are a deeper, better team.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Lakers are real top heavy. If one little thing goes
- 43:34Speaker 3: wrong for them, they are screwed. Not that the Nuggets
- 43:37Speaker 3: aren't either, I'm just saying Nuggets are a deeper team.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Vic, I don't know you.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Do you have an appreciation now for the Lakers?
- 43:44Speaker 2: Huh?
- 43:46Speaker 4: Do you have a new appreciation for the Lakers? Nod?
- 43:48Speaker 5: I'm just I don't saluate these teams. I'm trying to
- 43:51Speaker 5: get a sense of what you think of these teams.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Actually want to I want to get back to this
- 43:55Speaker 2: in just a little bit, but we got to make room.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Jared Bednar is going to join the program in five
- 43:59Speaker 2: minutes to get an update on a car and everything
- 44:00Speaker 2: else to grab
