  Speaker 6: watching ability. Only two games last night, huge games though
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: at game seven, and he knew that Spurs and Thunder
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: was gonna be, you know, cinema, but to get those
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: quality of games unbelievable. And starting with the hockey, moge like,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: I'm watching the opening to Game seven and they're panting,
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: They're showing the crowd all waving the towels in Buffalo
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, man, Buffalo. I hope they get one.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: And to lose in that fashion, And we were just
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: talking about this the other day. You lose a game
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: like that in front of your home crowd. It is
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: like the worst feeling ever. But what an unbelievable game
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: that was Montreal jumping out two to zero early in
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: that game. You battle back, tie it up to to
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: send it to OT, give yourself a shot. Looked like
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: multiple times Buffalo was going to score in that Ot
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: just couldn't quite finish. And who finishes thing out once
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: again for the second straight game seven. Alex Newhook scores
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: the game winner.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to tell you this.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: This is another example why playoff hockey can be so
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: freaking brutal. I mean, just it feels like life isn't fair.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, imagine that game seven against Tampa.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: What happened? You remember what happened in that game seven
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: against Tampa for Montreal.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: They had nine shots on goal.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: They didn't do jack squad douche, squad douche. It's like
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Vic on our scramble team, he ain't doing jack squad douche.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Except Vic, fetch me another corps light please.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of people can say that, the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: one person that can't is you. It's you, moj I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: want to ask you one thing about that month. Treo
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Buffalo game less nicknamed from Mos three off the tee. Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: all right, MOSR mulligan any day, Jacks? What Moser? Why
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: was that goal disallowed? Why was the Why did the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: whistle blow?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Because they, I think honestly because the city had it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And by the way, in the NHL, this may be
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: up for ridicule. Vick's probably gonna do it. It's not
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: even that the whistle blows its intent to blow the whistle.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: So let's say the referee intended to blow the whistle,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: but he just couldn't quite get it up to his
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: mouth quickly enough.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That that's the dumbest sentence I've ever heard in my life.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That right there, ladies and gentlemen, everybody listening to the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: radio this morning, everybody listening to talk radio in the world,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I just want you to hear what this man said.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: What came out of.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The intent to blow the whistle, the intent to talk,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the intent to shoot the What the hell? That might
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: be the dumbest rule I've ever heard in my life.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: You know what, I think there's a whole bunch of
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: AVS goals that they've allowed this year that shouldn't be
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: allowed because Leggie or Black would have the intent to
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: make the save.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: We think about what you just said. How dare you
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: tried to impose on you know, what was common you?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: You preempted it by saying you're reaction.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: That's why I preempted it, because I can read him
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: like a book. You're like the TV guide. Forget me,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Let's just go to it. Let's go to an objective observer. Yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: what do you think about that rule?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: First of all, kids have no idea what TV guides
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: are anymore. It's very sad.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Second of all, yeah, I think it's stupid. It's either
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: you blow the whistler you don't.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: So hey, my grandfather, My grandfather used to get the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: TV guide in the mail.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Most has a referee ever disallowed a goal because of
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the intent?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, well I hope he was laughed all the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: way either way the whistle blew and then it was
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: pounded in. But I think he had at least he
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: had it cradled against his body, got poked, went through him,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and then that kind of thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Now, can I say this because I know that new
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Hook not only had you know, back to back game winners,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: he had a really good series against Buffalo, had six
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: goals in this series in these seven games, including two
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: games with multi goals multigle game. I went back and
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: looked at it just for those curious, because there was
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: two guys in that series that the ASTHME trades for
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: in recent history to lead to a team that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: They have now.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: So I looked at the trade of Alex Newhook and
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: if you remember, he's traded the Montreal on June twenty
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: seventh of twenty twenty three. In that trade, you received
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: the thirty first overall pick, the thirty seventh overall pick,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: and a defensive prospect, Johnny Fairbrother.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Those eventually became.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Mikhail Guyayev with the thirty first overall pick, and then
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: they took Ethan Gautier, which they then flipped shortly after
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the draft for Ross Coulton, who's making an impact for
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: you right now. Connor Timmins was also on the ice
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: in that game. Connor Timmins was another guy that you
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: traded early.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Con Timmins, Yeah, but he's the guy who dealt with concussions. Yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: he had a bad concussion situation and he's played for
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a couple of different teams, yeah, and finally found a
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: home with the Buffalo Sabers.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Do you remember what the trade netted you for Connor
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Timmins off the top of your head.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was he was part of the cattery trade. Nope, No,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: he was part of the on.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: It was Timmins in a first rounder and a conditional
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: third four.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Darcy Kemper.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Darcy Kemper was the guy that had concussion problems. Yes
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: he did.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So I'm watching that game less.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: So it was the little guy what ended up going
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to uh to Arizona than the Utah kerkfoot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, win the category trade. I'm watching that game and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I can't help but think those two markets, Buffalo and Minneapolis.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: We saw it this week, Buffalo and Minneapolis. How cursed
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: are those two teams, those two cities, those two fan bases,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: those two everything. They can't win anything.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I felt so bad for Buffalo.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: They can't win anything. Buffalo can't win anything. Minneapolis Saint
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Paul can't win anything. They can't win, they can't win, championships,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: can't happen. It's tough for me. Can't do it. I'm
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: not necessarily worried about Mini. Yeah. Poor Buffalo though.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Last night, do they control outside of that first period again?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got blitzed early.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: The first goal goes in. How you see it? I did.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It goes off dude's skate. He's trying for a redirect.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He misses the redirect.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And then and it goes off his toe.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's playoff hockey, right, You're like, that's bounced.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: That's luck new He comes in in overtime and it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: not a muffin. Okay, it's not a muffin, but it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: not it's not like the it's not the Joe Sachick ristshot. Yeah,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: but he gets it through traffic, it gets deflected and
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: goes down and goes under the glove and above the path.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: It's like, dude could try I mean, give him credit
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: for throwing it on net.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He could do that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's just an even rush into
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the zone. He could do that another one hundred times
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and never even hit the net.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Buffalo midway through the game, thanks for getting a four
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: minute double minor for a high stick, only to find
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: out that their own.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Guy, their own guy, And you're like, oh great, It's.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Just it's brutal.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I got a buddy of mine who's a big Sabers guy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And he's feeling it. He's feeling he's feeling it that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: he says to me at the end, he goes, why
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: do I even open my mouth? Hang on, let me
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: see I feel bad for him? He says, uh yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: He goes, uh, why did I even say that?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Why did I Before the game? He said, By the way,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: tell your boy new hook the simmer down. They says,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: why do I even say that?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And that's.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm not not even in the slides any regard
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: because they.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Play against you, right, that's why you don't feel bad
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: for them. But they're an animal.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, That's that's what I'm.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Trying to do.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You feel bad for the Dodgers.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: No, that's what I'm trying to get to.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You feel bad for Buffalo because they're not in front
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of you. Yeah, but you know what they have to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: deal with.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: But they've missed for so many years and they get
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: they capture lightning in a bottle and they play great.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've I've never seen a GM bump before.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: They play great. They were the better team in this series.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, most here we go.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Do you feel bad for the Buffalo Bills when they
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: came in here and.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Lost to the Roncos. Not a chance? Why same market.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would have felt bad for Buffalo if they
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: lost that way to not the Broncos, but not to
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: my team.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: No, Now, on the other side, here's what's funny. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: knew I was going to root for the Spurs in
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: the series.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I knew it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't keep down right, it's there, No, I knew it. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: there's no way you can. You can escape the anti
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: OKC fandom.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Here's what's really funny, though, vic I didn't know the
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: fervor in which I was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Going to be rooting for the Spurs.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: When Wimby crossed half court thirty seconds left in ot
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: and throws up a three from the parking lot, A
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: seven foot six guy throws up a three from the
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: parking lot, Well no, My first reaction was, what are
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: you doing? You're only down three running offensive set and
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: he buries it, and then I was just like, you
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: know what for him to play.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Remember, we all.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: Had the same sort of feeling regarding the Spurs. They're
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: a very good basketball team, but they're probably a year
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: or two away, really young. Their star player hasn't had
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: that much experience for him to do that in that
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: situation against the defending Chains, Game one on the road.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: It's one of the more unbelievable things I've seen from
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: a young player.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what we've noticed about forty twenty four Victor
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Webman Yama. The stats speak for themselves, but here's what's
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: developed in San Antonio with the kid. We know he
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: has the unreal body, right, I mean, you don't make
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: them that big with that kind of skill. We has that,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: he's got the fight. But what he has already at
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: his age, and the fact that the San Antonio Spurs
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: trotted out the youngest starting five in the history of
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the Conference Final ever last night, what he possesses that
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: is so rare to have all that skill, all that talent,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: all that size, all that genetic gift. He has a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: killer instinct you cannot teach. He already has it as hit.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: He wants to eat you, he wants to eat your children.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: He has that, and not many guys at that age
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: have it. You guys see it right, Yeah, he possesses
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: something that's so rare and it is so wonderful to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: watch because he raises all boats with that man Wemby,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It's over fellas, it's over, best player on the planet.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: As long as he doesn't get hurt, it's over.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: So here's what blew me away yesterday. And I don't
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: mean that in ah, it just it is what it is. No,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: he is he's that good.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: When you have that talent mixed with the genetic makeup
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: of that, I mean, what do you do with it?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Whatever?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Where do you get one of those?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: A science lab? Frankenstein? I don't know.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: But the looks, the looks on the OKC faces when
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they tried, is they like what bothered me most last night?
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Did you see that shot when I mean Alex.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Caruso played his butt off, he shoved the camera, shoves
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the camera out of the huddle. And I immediately turned
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and I said, does he understand that?
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: How they all make their salaries? Oh, but things weren't
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: going well for them that day.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And it's the same that's the same group that mugs
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: for the camera after every game.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, can't find a camera quick enough. So but hang
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: on a second. Here's what blew me away, moses the
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: leader and I know that this this status in the
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: NLB all can get screwy at times. The leader in
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: plus minus in that game was Wemby because he was
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: the best player on the floor. He's a plus sixteen.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: You know, the worst player was SGA. Shay, you're kidding,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Shaye was fifteen.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't I haven't looked at that yet.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: The OKC Thunder were fifteen points worse when Sga.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Was on the floor and he sat for much of
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the overtime in double.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: That's that's okay.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: So I look at the defensive purposes, but I thought
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: that was only Joker from that year.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I thought Joker is the only MVP that has defensive lapses.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: This is a one off? Can we all agree on that?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: For the Oklahoma City Thunder, this game is a one.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Off in what sense? What you mean?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Shae is not going to be leading in minas again, No,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: it's not a one off.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Have you seen their record against the San Antonio this year?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: They've lost four and a five. Yeah, this is not
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: a one off. San Antonio to Oklahoma City is what
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Mini is to Denver. Here's here's the problem that they
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: have one off Shae in this series.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It's a one off. I don't care about regular season
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in this series.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Here's their problem, and this is a problem.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: They can't fix Shay's bread and butter is getting to
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: the rim and drawing a foul.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Right, can't do it against this team.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Victor and Minyama doesn't have to foul you to stop
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: you from getting a lamb.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And it's not just Victor Minyama, Stephan Castle and Devin
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Vassal and all those guys. They have the ability to defend.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: They have the ability to defend Vassal all of the Well,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: it's very evident Castle.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you something.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: If Wenby is otherworldly, Castle is not too far behind.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll say this kid's fast is great.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I'll see this. You are.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: How about a killer?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: If? What do you want to place on game two?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: What do you want to place?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: What do you mean five bucks?
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, well this isn't but I need to be getting
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: better odds in that you're asking for a team to
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: go up two to oh on a team on the
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: road who's the defending champs.
• 15:24

  Speaker 2: Typically, Nella, You're much more clever than that, my bed.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm ashamed at myself. I thought I was the bigger man.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I thought i'd be able to watch like a game
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: last night Spurs Okac without any like concern with who wins,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: just neutrality, just right down the middle.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I just can't help myself. Why is that? What is that?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Stem you insecurity?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, no? You you want who do you
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: want to win?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I can't stand oclomus. I just can't stand.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: And I'll never Every single player on their team bothers
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: me for some reason. Name a player and I'll tell
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you why that person that player bothers me. Hartenstein just
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it is the fact that he plays for Denver left
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and got better that bothers me.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: You know what, I got something to talk about later.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Did he get better or did you just not do it?
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: But we can get that one.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: We're going Every single player on that team bothers the
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: hell out of me.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Caruso, Caruso. I saw a he did a podcast where
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: he's telling the teammates, hey man, do you want me
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: to play good now in June?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: You know he's one of those.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: But you you said to me even three weeks ago
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: that I really respect Caruso's the way he plays it
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: gets you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Don't don't get this, don't don't get this twisted. I
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: would take him on my team right now. Nicola topic, Yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I don't care about that. I would take a Caruso
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: on my team now. It doesn't it doesn't mean he
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: doesn't bother you when he plays for the other team.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: You know how this works.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Moment greed Vic, But I you know what it's. I'll
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: tell you what's what I've noticed about you. If you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: if you'll allow me to this NBA postseason. And I
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: think part of it has to do with Hal the
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Nuggets lost, when they lost, and so on. You have
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: been more sensitive, an angst ridden, trance, snippy, snappy about
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: this postseason than you have in the last six years.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm not even because I saw.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: I see what's happening. You don't have to be a
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: genius to see what's happening.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: But something something NBA wise, not not other sports, no
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: other sport, not the Broncos, not anything else. But something
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: about this year's NBA has you snippy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Again because I know what's happening. These young teams are
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: going to start to dominate unless you get younger.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I see what's happening, and you should too. Oh, I
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: mean it's not that easy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I see it. It doesn't make me more snappy about the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: whole the league as a whole.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Well, I want to I want to get into CAUs Mosier.
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: You've you've taken and I'm shocked. There's a giant piece
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: of paper with copious notes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: On there regarding the A F series.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: I don't want to get to in just a second,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: but I have one final question To'll just take a minute.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the problem is and I don't
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: know why this happens this way. So they're doing the
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: you know, when Jokic does some amazing thing they know
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: not sense Wilt and they put up the graphic of
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: him and Wilt next to each other. Right, So, women,
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Yama just did something last night that is a not
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: sense Kareem.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: But they keep going to the lou alsindor route.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And I try that again, this count, What are you saying?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: What absolutely Butcher put the emposis on the wrong salav.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Fix that up, fix it up, and try again.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Louel Cinder luel Cinder. Okay, but hang on, hang on,
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: why don't they just go Kareem. It's like, I understand
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: his name didn't change yet, but it's like when people
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: go to cash is Clay, It's like, just say, Muhammad Ali,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: he changed his name.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Can I'm asking you guys who have worked in television
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: and have been in the graphics game before, is there
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: some sort of rule that you have to do regardless?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Perhaps it just puts a date on when it happened.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Before he was Kareem, he was luel Cinder. And by
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the way, do you know how to spell the lou
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and luel cinder lwr'sore?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: But I okay, never mind then, Like I said, it
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: just takes a minute. I don't know why people do that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Though he changed his name, he wants to be known
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: as Kareem abut Bill Jabbard. Just call him Kareem anyway,
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Moje to the ABS, There's two things I want to
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: talk about, and we'll get to your notes in a moment.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Number one, when it comes to what is really going
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: to be impactful in this series. And I've harped on
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: this before the playoffs even started because I've noticed this
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: trend and it seems to continue. Vegas has been one
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: of the better teams in the postseason as far as
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: special teams go.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: On both penalty kill and power play.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: They've been good on both correct and by the way,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: they were pretty decent on both. Decent on both in
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the regular season.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Well that's what I was getting at.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: There were like top seven in each category in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: regular season too, so that's not any sort of surprise.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But and that went up. I say decent because at
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: times they went down. Then they had stretches where they
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: were really good. The ass need to stay out of
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the box. They've done a poor job at that. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: think post Olympic break. They've done a poor job at that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: And we talked about Norm. We'll talk to him tomorrow
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: before this series gets going. He thinks that is playing
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: with aggression, which is something that's like, okay, as long
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: as you're being aggressive, you can live with it. You
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: just can't do it too often.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Don't do silly things though.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, there's a difference between taking a good penalty because
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you're being aggressive, you know what I mean, even something
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: you can live with, and doing something silly with your
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: stick right right, and I think or taking a stupid
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: aggressive penal, Like what I don't want to say.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Is you're trying to blow a guy up. Oh, I
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: don't need I don't know. I don't want to.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see an interference pedalty in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: offensive zone when you're one hundred and ninety three feet
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: away from your own net.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I got one from it. I don't want to see that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: I think it was Parker Kelly just threw a stick
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: right in the numbers of Caprice off with nobody around him,
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: in front of God and everybody that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Was like Minnesota's trying to exit the zone and he
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: just blows them. That can't happen.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: That can't happen.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: That's that's dumb. That's a dumb penalty. So those things
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: can't go down. You want to be aggressive, you want
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: to try and make a play. You live with that stuff.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: That's that's part of sports. But you can't make a
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: parade to the box like you have. I think for
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: a good portion of this postseason, the Kings weren't. They
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: didn't have the ability to hurt you if you did it,
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: so that one didn't bother you at all. You did
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: well on the PK for the most part. Against Minnesota
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: they had a few. But that's that's one thing. The
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: other is and it doesn't matter what anybody can say
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: or do. I am pretty damn scared of I know
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Kale's playing. I want to know what version of Kale
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: I'm getting when he's playing.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I'm worried that, like mid game, he's gonna have to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: be tended to again.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't want a Kale that's shying away from contact.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: And there's no point can't.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no point in saying, Mo, it's an upper
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: body injury, it's his right shoulder.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: We all know exactly what's bothering him right now, and.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: It might be other things, but it certainly his right shoulder,
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: and I am still scared if it's something that is
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: like a nagging injury that can just crop up and
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: get worse with one single hit. Is he going to
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: be a little bit more shy about throwing a shoulder
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: into somebody on the boards or fighting for a puck
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: on the boards knowing a HiT's coming.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: God's ho his truth.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know this second, this particular second, I don't
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: know any more than you know. God's ho his truth.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And a lot of times I know a lot more
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: than you know, but I don't say it because I
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: can't say it God's honest truth. I don't know any
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: more than you know. Yeah, right now, that being said,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the only saving grace, the only silver lining end of
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the tunnel, however you want to categorize it, is the
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: fact that he came back in that game against Many.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: The fact that he came the fact that he went
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: off theoretically examined, perhaps even looked at by machines.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: But did he even play in the six on five?
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: He did not, No, not in that Well, now he
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: was not on the ice for the game winning goal,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: but he came back in that third, late in that
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: third period and.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Played did play an overtime a little bit.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was that he wasn't on. Yeah, he
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: wasn't on for the six on five or the game winner,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: but he did come back and that if if there
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: was something I think that was majorly wrong, like majorly,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I think they probably would have sat him because you
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: have the option of a game seven right sure. Now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is I have. I have
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: no idea weak rest will that help?
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Today isn't it's Today's clearly a pain
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: tolerance injured. That is correct.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: And we've all been shot up before. I find it
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: quite relieving.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think we've all been shot up before. I've
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: been shot up. You've been. I don't see Nelly's a
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: guy who's been shot up, maybe who shoots himself up.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: I don't see him as a sh I've been shot up.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Nelly has that smack going, Yeah, what why are you asking?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Vicki Gatza, jeez bread, have you ever been shot up?
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: When I went to the dentist, Okay, to.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Relieve pain, it is a glorious thing. I mean it
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: you feel like.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And it's not.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: It's you gotta keep doing I mean, how do I
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: describe it. I wouldn't even say instantaneous, but when the
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: pain goes away.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And you're like, oh mama, yeah, oh mama.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Doesn't make you look but you give it one of
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: those omamas if you can, if you can survive doing that,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: then okay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I truly do.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Not know, but I said this, you know, to make
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: a comparison. I was talking about this during the Nuggets series.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: We all know the importance and the X factor in
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: the championship level you can get to when Aaron Gordon
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: is healthy and playing. But there's a difference between playing
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: your game and then worried about your injury as you're playing.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: And I just I hope that that's not gonna be
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: the case for Cale because you said it most He
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: did come back and finish the game in Game five,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: but he was very clearly aware of his injury.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Oh sure, and he was aware of if that.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Was about to take another hit or not for somebody,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: because it was hard to play hockey that way.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: And because he was aware, we were all aware. Yes,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: because it I mean it was apparent now again, will
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: this week off help?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: But what I was trying to say, well, for you
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: lucked in like a puma on a fawn. Is that
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: today is going to be a very big day. The
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: team will practice at ball Arena today. I'm gonna go
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: down there. It's a very big day because this is
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the day before game one in the Western Conference Final,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna see who's on the ice. I think
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: if you go buy, I guess I'll bets are off
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: in the postseason. But the APS typically want guys to
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: have a full practice day under their belt before they
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: throw them in. That's if a guy's missed, though, that's
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: if a guy has been out of the lineup. Kala
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: has not been out of the lineup. Malinsky's been out
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: of the lineup like he's been out of the lineup, right,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Manson came back to the lineup.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Expect that most, if not all, of those guys will
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: practice today.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I would expect, as far as Kala.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Is concerned, even if he took mornings skate tomorrow, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: would think that he could jump in and play the game.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I would have no qualms about that whatsoever.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: To give him maybe one more day of whatever treatment
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll dive deeper into these numbers that you got
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: in front of you, emotion, we give us just one
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: here for a couple of minutes.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: If I give you one.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: See what's different about Vegas right now is that, here's
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing to know. They weren't a bad regular
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: season team. They weren't bad at all. They were a
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: playoff team. It's just they weren't up to their potential.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: And one thing vic they did not do in the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: regular season that they're doing now is they're beating good teams.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know how good you think Utah is, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: don't know how good you think the Ducks are, But
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: in the regular season against good teams, Vegas are just
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: kind of piddling around man going to overtime, losing and
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the shootout blah blah blah blah blah. It's kind they
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: kind of just kicked. They kind of just kicked their
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: way around the regular season. Sure is what they team
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: as a good team, as a team that again, when
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: their power play was on, it was deadly. And then
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: it got their numbers up to where it looks real,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it looks good.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what they did. They did what the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves did. Peddled around and then turned it on
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: in the postseason pretty much. And as you said, they
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: got the substitute teacher bump.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: That's what they've gotten, didn't They Also, they've been through
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: several goalies and they eventually have now settled on Carter Hart,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: whom they signed and then eventually brought him in and
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: now he's the guy between the pipes. But against teams
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: like the Colorado Avalanche in the regular season, they didn't
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: do so hot.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: They kicked around. It's a different team now.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: And when I look at the numbers, I look at
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the goals per game. Now, everything that Vegas has in
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the postseason, everything.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Vegas has is better than it was in the regular season.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to find things where it's
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: not as good. The PK is better than it was
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: in the regular season. The power play is better than
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: it was in the regular season. The save percentage is
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: better than it was in the regular season. Everything that
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: they're the goals against are better than they were in
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the regular season.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Now, you mentioned this the last couple of days, but
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: I do think a huge factor of that is they
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: didn't have to go through the Dallas Stars or Minnesota
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: or the Avs to get to this point. You didn't
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: have to go through the cream of the crop of
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: the Western Conference to reach the Western Conference finals. Correct,
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: So maybe those numbers are a little inflated by opponent
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: that you played. And that's why you're saying, like, I
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: don't know what you think of Utah.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Here's what I know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: Utah isn't Utah, isn't Dallas, Utah isn't the Wild Utah
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: isn't the Avs. And so I think you can look
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: a little bit better when you're facing teams like that
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: on your way here as opposed to well.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I think the people's Utah. Yeah, but I think people yeah, agreed, agreed.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I think people though still pooh pooh the La Kings.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I think they look at the La Kings and say, ah,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: they squeaked in, you know, and this.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're the one who told us that. Yeah.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: But but what I'm trying to tell you, Vic is this,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the style they employed was incredibly difficult to play against.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: There's hardly any threat of you getting scored on at times.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Totally get that.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: But but the way they played defense and committed to
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: it was bombed.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: It's a grind.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a discipline.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've thought about this for a long time the
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: past tensive squeak is what squawk?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It should well squeaked, but it should be squake.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: They squake by.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that sound? Doesn't that feel natural to you? Squawkeed?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I mean they squake in that feels natural to me?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I I in fact, I don't know what I have
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: to do. You're throwing an in in there when you
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: don't have to. There's there doesn't need to be an
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: n vic threw. I could think of tea in there?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Right? Would you throw in there? Walked? Excuse squawked? You
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: threw like a you dude? That's yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: What reminder to you guys, if you want to get
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: in the building for that game one, text the keyword
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: pebble right now in your first and last name to
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: three zero three five four nine two five.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying I think that if things go the
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: way I hope they will, I think the people will
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: look back on the La King's defensive effort in that series,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: even though they have swept, and we'll give it more
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: respect than it's gotten so far.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: So a lot more to get to as we are,
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: uh day away from Game one in the Western Conference Finals.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: We'll talk to Bednar tomorrow at eight o'clock. Stick Gram, what.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Is this crap?
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: This is a newfound glory, man, have some respect?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Hey, So why does every single commercial break there needs
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to be commentary on music? I don't know, man, It's
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: just the way my brain works.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: You need to relax over there. Chill.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Need to chill.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Why is Alex Caruso pushing a camera off the huddle?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, dude, bic, this NBA postseason is getting
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And I agree with you.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I I I know we'll get to more of that
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: coming up a little bit later. I agree with you
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: because I feel it. I feel the sand slipping through
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: our fingers, and I don't like it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Why is Aaron Rodgers extra large helmet bothering me? It
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: bothers the hell out of me too.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: It bothers it bothers him too, though, you know, can
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: I just play something here? This is from a couple
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: of days ago.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: But if there's one thing that I know, we are
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: now h You know, we've we've found out that media
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: sources might have some ways where they get information through
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: personal relationships, and I know one thing. There is a
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: relationship that is going on between and has been going
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: on between Colin Coward and Sean Payton.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: For a while.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: And I don't know if you guys feel the way
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: that I do. Whenever Coward talks about the Broncos, it
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: feels like Sean Payton speaking through Colin Cowhard's voice.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: I can't help just shaking the fact that it feels
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: like anytime Coward says something about the Denver Broncos, he's
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: saying what Sean Payton told him, And so you're acting.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Like this is rare relative too, not that it's.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Rare, but when he says something like this.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: I think Sean Peyton has a mixed relationship with a
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: league office. He's taken shots at quarterbacks, He's taken Russell Wilson,
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: He's taken shots at coaches. NFL does not like friendly
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: fire zip it. Look at Denver schedule. They're punishing them
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: the first six game. That's the toughest six game schedule
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: I have ever seen in my life. And I'm a
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: geek on this stuff. I am a nerd on schedules.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: I've never seen anything like that at Chiefs Jags, Rams
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: at Niners, at Chargers at Seahawks. They could have thrown
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: an Arizona game in there, a Panther's game in there.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: They could have thrown that Steeler game in there, the
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Raider game in there. Nope, front heavy with Bownicks coming
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: off a surgery.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is me, this this is my translation. This
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: is the most translator. Hey calling it Sean, what's up?
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: League's trying to screw us? Look at the start of
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the season.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: It I literally I feel like cowhard.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: And I don't mean this like disrespectfully to him or anything.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: It's just like, I feel like he is the spokesperson
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: for the grievances of Sean Payton and he uses it
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: through the radio show.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Let's cut to the chase.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Stop, stop, stop, it's a dumb topic.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: What do you think the league is trying to purposely
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: punish the Denver Broncos. No, but I think that Sean
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Payton thinks that it's a mist thing I've ever heard
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of in my time. Do you think the league you're
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: not just punishing Sean Payton, You're punishing the ownership group.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Do you think the NFL likes the Broncos ownership group. Yes,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I think they love them. Do you think they're I
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: mean they're very welcomed, right, I mean that's an ownership
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I think so. Do you think the League, despite it,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: is going to punish just Sean Payton. It's the dumbest
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: thing I've ever heard in a long time.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: You're answering the wrong question. You're answering the wrong thing.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: I said that Cowherd feels like he's getting info from
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: Sean Payton. Do you think Sean Payton feels that way?
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: There is no question Sean Peyton has felt like he
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: has been unfairly punished by the league in multiple instances
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: throughout his career because of yes, a number of different things.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: What was the gate called back in the day.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been personally disciplined for that. But to dis
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: plan an entire team for a coach, that's ridiculous, you
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: know what? And that's where coward, I guess has to
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: look in the mirror and say, do I really believe
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: this or am I just going to parrot what a
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: coach tells me.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I will say this for a guy who has a
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: perceived grievance, and maybe it's not even perceived, maybe it's
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: real that the league is.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Somehow against him.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: I could understand how he would take this if this
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: is Sean Payton's way of thinking as a personal slight
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: towards him, because it is.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: We talked about it. It's an insane for I got
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: a quarterback.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: I got a quarterback coming off of ankle surgery. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: got these six games against the Bohemos. They're ready to
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: you know, bust us up.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, we're the AFC Championship game with a
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: lead at halftime and no homegn.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: We got to start the year.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: And we gotta go on the road to Kansas City
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: to open the season. He vic Vic. There's what I'm
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: getting at. You're you're You're. I think you're right about
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. And I think they love the Penner,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: the Walton Penner group. They should.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: They've done a great job for your goodell God, he
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: must look back and go I don't have to worry
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: about Denver's ownership group ever, about them doing anything stupid,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: saying anything dumb, getting involved.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: You know, he they are absolute stars in his eyes.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: And that being said, I think it's easy to jump
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: to a conclusion, whether it's true or not, when you
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: look at the first six weeks of the season and
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: starting on the road at Arrowhead in that hype game
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: when Mahomes comes back, It's easy to make that determination
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: or jump to that conclusion that tell us, God, that
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: league is trying to screw me, tell us trying to
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: screw this.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Thing to do is to blame the league for everything.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I get it, I know what we want to do.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Who else you're gonna blame?
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Vick? I get it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I mean you've got to have a punching bag.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Asking you again, I'm going to ask you again.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Do you believe the National Football League went out of
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: its way to screw the Broncos because of because.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: They don't like Champayton?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: No, but that again, is not what I'm talking about.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I know, talking of Colin Coward. I get it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: We all acknowledge that, we know this, know that Sean Payton.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: And look, I know one thing we all know this.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Does Sean Payton have.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: The ability to hold a grudge? Yeah, Sean.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: All I'm saying is this sounds like this is coming
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: directly from Sean Payton without coming from Sean Payton.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: And that being said, whether or not it's true, he
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: thinks it's true, So.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: What his world?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: It is true.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Here's here's the one thing though, and I would say, like,
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: crags me up. Maybe this is a more than glass
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: half full way of looking at a glass three fourth
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: full whatever. If you're able to get through that initial stretch,
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: let's say, with the somehow like a foeurign two record. God,
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: you set yourself up well, haven't you, because you got nice,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: little cushy middle part of the season, and that if
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: you can get through that initial thrust, you can make
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: some hay as you go along, like you can do
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: some real damage in the middle of it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: A great britt But we've already discussed that. And I
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: had how many of those? Did I have them winning
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: out of that middle eight? But I think went seven,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: six or seven guys. That being said, you better make
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: hay and who knows what condition you're going to be
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: in when you get to that middle eight.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when I when I went off on
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: the NBA for screwing the Nuggets because they had to
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: go back to Memphis and they played more back to
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: backs than anybody.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Remember that? Yeah, So I went on the air and I.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Tweeted it and I said, it's ridiculous and I actually
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: got on a phone call with somebody at the NBA
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: office and had a very deep, deep conversation about it,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: and it hit me when he said, Vic, every team
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: in the league, at some point or another, thinks they're
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: getting screwed by the league because of their schedule.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: You don't think we get these calls all the time.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: You don't think we get these claims all the time.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Every team has a claim at some point getting screwed
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: by the league. So I just don't buy it.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I don't and I won't. Now I understand why they
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: say it, but I don't buy.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: It except the Lakers. The Lakers can have no beefs.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: They have the most cushy schedule you can get a
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: Every single year, it's always like who's the team has
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: the least back to back, So, oh it's the Lakers.
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: Get out of here, no way. Crazy Textures asked this
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: just real quick. Would you rather the schedule be front
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: loaded or backloaded? If you had to choose with the
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: tough games, like if you had the six game stretch,
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: would you want at the beginning or the end?
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I like it the way.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I like it the way it is only because Peyton's
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: teams have notoriously been finishers. They they've gotten better as
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: this season goes on, right, no matter who they start with,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: it's been a slow.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Start, and then they really ratchet it up.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they get going. That's been the trend.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: So what does it matter? Who doesn't matter who you
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: play early, ratchet it up.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: When need be. Well.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: Again, it's an AVS playoff ticket Tuesday, so we have
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: keywords every hour on the twenties. Your chance to get
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: in the building for Game one tomorrow against Vegas or
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: stay tuned for that as we go along.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Back after this
