10-02-26 Hour 2 - The 49ers are beatable/Why would you believe in CU?/Oh, By the Way... · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher Lombardi and Kane On Demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: On the Altitude Sports Radio app. And how is your defense?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The Broncos' defense held the Rams to four straight field goals,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: including when the Rams got the ball on the 36-yard line.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You can't get, you cannot play better. And oh, by
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the way, Hufanga's interception made a huge difference. So this
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: defense is good enough to win you a championship. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: don't make me get a ring for people who say, well,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: how long can you rely on your defense to bail
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you out? I got over 200 diamonds. That says 27 weeks, boys.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: That was Ryan Harris with us on Monday following the
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Rams game. Now, again, I'll just tell you where I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: at on this Bud Light Football Friday. Broncos play against
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: San Francisco in San Francisco. This is a game that
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: if the Niners were healthy, I think the Broncos lose.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: And I know I said the same thing against the Rams,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: but in all honesty, you probably should have lost to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the Rams. It's not insulting to say that a team
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: you think they're going to lose when they're playing against
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: a good opponent on the road. But my mind has changed.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: When you tell me One of the best left tackles
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: in football is out. When you tell me one of
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the best pass rushers in football is out. When you
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: tell me they're down a whole bunch of weapons in
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the wide receiver room. When you look at the amount
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: of injuries this team has suffered and you are a
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: good football team and you are healthy. I think this
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: is now a game that you should win.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: And I don't.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: This is another one of those games where I'll make
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: a promise to you as best as I can. I
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: don't see a scenario in which you win that I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: would come in here and be like, that was stupid.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: They need to do this and that. I don't think
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: that's the case.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I think this is one, you go on the road,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: you beat San Francisco by hook or by crook, good
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: for you. You get to three and one, four weeks
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: into this season with the schedule you've had to start, Moj,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: good for you. Like, I am not here to do
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: any of the, yeah, they won, but there's no buts
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: if they win.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: None.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: So to me, after looking at the amount of injuries....
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Is Trent Williams officially out?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: So here's what they got.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Because all I can find still is questionable. I can't
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: find him out.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Well, Legge said yesterday it looks like he's going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: be out. That's what Legge told us. So I guess
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: there is still a chance that he could be in.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: But here's the injury report, by the way.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Injury report is powered by Ramos Law, the official injury
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: law firm partner of Broncos country.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Here's what it looks like for the Niners.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: You ready?
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: These are the guys that did not practice. Nick Bosa,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Mike Evans, Dre Greenlaw, Kedariel Hodge, James Thompson Jr., Keyon White.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Those were DNPs. Limited practice for Trent Williams yesterday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Limited.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: He's got the neck injury. Christian McCaffrey was back. He
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: was the DNP on Wednesday because it was a rest
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: day for him. Now, let's take that compared with the Broncos.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: The Broncos. Limited practice yesterday. You want to know why?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Rest.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: And Andre Tillman for the second straight day was the DNP.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Right, so he's out.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: That's their injuries.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Right, he's out.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, but probably. But that's their injuries
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: that they're dealing with. The Broncos have one guy who
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: was limited in practice yesterday because he was resting, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: another guy that was out who was a fourth-string edge
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: rusher for you.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Compare that to what I just gave you from the Niners.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Like, that's huge.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But, Brett, you're absolutely correct, but the Broncos, facing this
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: 49ers team, are going to face a team that somehow...
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: most of the time is able to overcome that kind
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: of thing. True. Very true. Which is crazy to me, too,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: because you have teams, typically, when you have an injury
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: situation like the 49ers have, and have had for quite
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a while, what's the biggest litmus test and the biggest
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: example you can point to for a team that folds
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: when they have too many injuries or key injuries?
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: The team that folds with too many?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: It's the Chargers. Oh, sure. Yes. Typically, teams go the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: route of the Los Angeles Chargers of Anaheim, right? They
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: go that route. Yeah. Somehow, Kyle Shanahan... I don't know
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: there's a team in the league where, quote, next man
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: up applies more than the 49ers.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: True.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: So while you're correct about all these injuries, and these
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: are key, I mean, not having to face Nick Bosa?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Praise baby Jesus. Yeah. Eight-pound, seven-ounce baby Jesus. Gold-fleece diapers. Praise.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Because that's huge. But it doesn't seem to matter. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: there's one guy on that defense. The more I think
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: about Fred Warner, the more I think, oh, man, this
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: guy is a future Hall of Famer. This guy is
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: really that good. When you think about the best linebackers
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: in the history of the game, This guy behaves like that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: He's a really, really, really good player. I was reading
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a little bit about the Broncos. This is, again, getting
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: back to this anomalous situation. The Broncos are last in
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the league in first half scoring. You realize that? Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: How many points have they averaged in the first half
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of their first three games?
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Well, they had none against KC. They had none last week.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Or no, did they have? I don't know, Moshe.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Seven?
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Three?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: 3.3. Yeah. Their first down success rate overall.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's miserable.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: On first downs is second worst in the National Football League,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: only behind the 0-3 crap hole... Packers? No.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Dolphins?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yes. The crap hole, not going to win a game,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins, who are in cap hell and... Signed 87 guys,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you know, cut guys on cut down day, right? Only
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins have been worse on first downs. First down
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: success rate. And those should tell you that by the way,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: you should just be getting your butts kicked, but they
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: don't do that. So, Brett, I don't know. I'm going
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to need to get to week nine or ten.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Probably week 14 before I can make a real assessment
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of what the hell I'm looking at.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: So two things here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Because this is what I see, what the data says
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: is one thing and what they do is something different.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Here's what's funny to me.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: And there are narratives that just kind of arise out
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: of nowhere in football. And then everybody just comes to
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: accept them. And I think it's the dumbest thing ever.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: And I'll give you an example.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: NFL pundits decided about I don't know, eight years ago,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: that running backs don't matter. You should never draft one
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: in the first round, that it's a waste of a pick,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: and you can find one off the scrap heap, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: no matter who you pick, you can have an effective
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: running game.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Look where we are now.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Jameer Gibbs single-handedly changes an offense, a team. B. John
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Robinson single-handedly changes a team. Saquon Barkley, when he got
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: to Philly, single-handedly changed that offense.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: And now all of a sudden, hey, you can take.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love third overall in the draft and nobody bats
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: an eyelash anymore.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Because you know what?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It turns out that thing I was saying about running backs. No,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: when you have a really good one, it matters. You
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: know who has that tag still now? His linebackers. Off-ball linebackers,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: people feel like, oh, it doesn't matter. You just need
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: a pass rush and a corner. That's what you need.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Go look at Fred Warner and tell me that guy
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: doesn't make a difference for that defense. When you get
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: an elite one like that. That shouldn't be a position
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: you just skimp over and be like, yeah, whatever, we'll
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: find somebody.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll be good. We'll just plug somebody in there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: If there's one criticism of the Broncos' defense, it's that
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: that position is weak. You have all pros at literally
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: every other level. Interior D-line, edge rush, cornerback, safety. Every
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: other position has an all pro on it. Zach Allen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Nick Benito, Pat Sertan, Pufanga.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: All pros. The only place you don't have it is
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: in the middle. And you know it's weak. You know it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: And I'm not calling Alex Singleton a bad player or
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Justin Stranat a bad player, but it is, you see
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the chasm between them and the elites in the league.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: It matters. And Fred Werner is one of the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Now, what you're talking about, first half offense and where
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the Broncos are at numbers-wise, there's another number I'll get
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: to in a couple of minutes. But Eli Manning was
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: on Colin Cowherd's podcast and said this about Bo Nix
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: in fourth quarters.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: The only thing I can think of is as a quarterback,
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: your two-minute plays, the plays you run in the fourth quarter,
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: you're down a little bit, you're running the plays that
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: you have run the most. These are kind of like
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: day one install. You're lining up fast. Your receivers are
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: playing fast. They know exactly what's going on. You're not
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: shifting in motion and creating like perfect plays.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: You're just running.
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: Plays that are kind of good, versus every defense and
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: the advantage of that yeah you know where to go
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: with the ball also when someone's not open you kind
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: of know it quicker you're processing that if for him
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: a guy who can run someone's not open he kind
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: of knows it it's one hit two hits all right
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: that guy's not open i gotta run it takes time
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: for that young quarterback to understand the the timing of
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: all this and when he should kind of, Hey, just
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: take the check down, get things going, kind of learning that,
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: how to kind of play with that anticipation, not trying
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: to be perfect all the time in the first three
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: quarters and a little bit more relaxed and just playing
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: football like you do in the fourth quarter.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Two things. Number one, this is what we've been talking
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: about forever.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: It's that I think Bo Nix plays his best late
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: in games when the pressure's on because he's not thinking.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: And I know that's a weird thing to say for
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: a quarterback, but you have to understand what I'm talking
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: about here. It's, To play sports, it is a reaction thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: That's all you're doing. You're reacting to information that you're processing,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: and you're reacting to physically what's happening in front of you.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: And that applies to hockey, to football, to basketball, to baseball.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this, Moj. Baseball, I think, more than
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: any other sport, is a thinking man's sport. And here's why.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Because you aren't really doing much of anything. The entire
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: thing you're processing, when you're stepping in the batter's box,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: you're thinking to yourself, Is this going to be an
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: off-speed pitch? Is this outside, inside? There's a runner on second.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Can I advance him over to third with a base
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: hit to right field or a ground ball to right field?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: All that stuff's going through your head. The second that
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: ball is thrown, there's no more thinking. It is, I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: seeing a baseball and I got to hit it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Or if you're playing in the field, the ball is
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: hit to me. You have all these thoughts of what
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: you're going to do before the play is happening.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: The man on first and second, how many outs? What's
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the score?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: If it's hit to my left, can I still get
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the guy at second base? Can I do like all
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: this different stuff? Once the ball's hit, it's all your
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: mind is just, all right, no more time to process information.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: It's time to go.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: And I think in the first half of games, Bo
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Nix is thinking, all right, well, here's our plan. This
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: is what we worked on all week. We're trying to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: get the ball to this guy. But if the defense
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: is showing this man, can I really do that? And
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I think as he snaps the ball, he's sitting in
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: the pocket and I can almost see him instead of
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: reacting to what's in front of them. It's about what
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: am I supposed to be doing right now?
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: And late in the game, We're down 16. Snap the ball.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I've got to go find somebody.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: It's the blanket attitude. It's like, blanket, let's just play football.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: That's what it is. Suggestion. Stake the 49ers to a
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: 14-point lead after the first quarter.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: How about this?
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Just let them score two touchdowns, and you're going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: have a better chance of winning if you do that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: In college football, Moj, we've seen this happen two times
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: already this year. A team is getting blown out so
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: badly that the coaches meet before the fourth quarter, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: they say, let's cut time down by five minutes. Let's
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: have a 10-minute fourth quarter. And if both agree on it,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: that happens. I think that Sean Payton should meet with
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan before the game and say, before kickoff, you
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: guys are up 14-0. And let's just play football. Here's
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: the second thing. Whenever we play clips from podcasts that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: are put on Twitter for content purposes, Nelly, can you
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: do me a favor?
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Can you have.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Lasers and whoosh sounds and stuff like that in the
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: middle of us talking?
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Can I just be talking and hear a whoosh?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It sounds like Star Wars is happening in the background. Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: It's funny.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot going on in there. So
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I want to have lasers and whoosh sounds as I'm speaking.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Next segment, when you guys are really cooking on some take,
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: I'll have some sound effects ready.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: This is funny from the 5364 text in. It should say,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Bo Nix does the good doctor thing in the first half.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: He's visualizing things in his head and not actually executing.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: But it appears that the text, whoever texted this in
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: must have typed really fast because it autocorrected to Monique.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Monique does the good doctor thing in the first half.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix in the first half is Monique. Bo Nix
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: in the second half is Bo Nix.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: State and Iowa, but that game in Iowa, I think
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Iowa's defense is tough enough to give them a run.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think they'll win, but I think they'll keep
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: that game close. You want to talk about predictability, Moshe?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: The Broncos have been the same team for a year.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Iowa's been the same football team.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: For 25 years.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Kirk Ferentz's Iowa Hawkeyes will score 17 points and win
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: nine games a year doing it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: That's just, it's what they do, okay?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: And then they'll play Ohio State and they'll lose, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: they'll lose 27 to 17 or 27 to 20 or
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: 19 to 12 or some stupid score like that. But
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: that's another big game over the weekend. Here's the one
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: that I'm curious about, though. CU is playing against the
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: number 12 team in the country in Boulder. In Texas Tech.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: They're going to start Isaac Wilson. What should I expect?
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Can I have any expectation?
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: Oh, no!
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: We suck again!
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Because here's what's going on in my head.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I think that CU, the most likely outcome of this game,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: and I hate to say this out loud, but it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the truth. I think the most likely outcome of this
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: game is that they get their doors blown off.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Blown off.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: To me, that's the most likely thing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Blown off.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: And I can't imagine you're going against the number 12
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: team in the country. You know, Texas Tech, they are not.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech has garnered a reputation over the last couple
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: of years because they have a whole bunch of money.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: That they are one of the elite programs in the
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Big 12.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: And they are.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: They are.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Well, they've got, so.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: They have a problem.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Where'd that money come from? Oil. I don't know. Is
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: it oil money or is it like venture capitalist money?
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Either way, they've had a huge, huge influx of money.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think CU should get blown out for one reason.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech has a problem in the area that matters most.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: It's quarterback. Think about this for a second. Why would
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech be going to local judges in the offseason
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: or begging them to give them a ruling that Sworesby
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: should be allowed to play. Honestly, why would they do that?
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Because they don't like their other options there.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: They went out, they got Sworesby, and in their minds
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: are like, well, that's done. We got a really good quarterback.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: They did that because they don't trust him. Will Hammond
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: has five interceptions to four touchdowns this year. I say
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: this for the only reason of this should not be
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: a game in which CU gets blown out.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: It should not.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Brett, in doing my research for.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: But in my head, it just feels like that's going
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: to happen.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in doing my research for Lay It Down, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: went to this game, and for the life of me,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I can't... I can't put together a coherent argument as
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: to why CU should win. Or could win.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: Can't either.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I can't... Not only that, not only can I not
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: put together a coherent argument about how the Buffs should
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: win this game at home, I can't put together a
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: coherent argument as to why they should cover getting 14
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and a half at home. Yeah. I can't find reasons
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: for the Buffaloes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: 13 and a half. Is that what it is?
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: 13.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: So it came down. Okay. I can't find a reason
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: why they should even cover. And I know that sounds snarky,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: that sounds mean, that sounds probably to Buffalo's fans disappointing.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's totally disappointing. But that's the God's honest truth. And
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I beg any of you out there, anybody, you go
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and find so-called, quote, experts in college football who theoretically
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: know the game well. You go find anybody who thinks...
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Not that the Buffaloes can win the game. That they
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: can even hang within two touchdowns of Texas Tech. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: you're right. Will Hammond has not been great. I guess passing-wise, efficiency,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: he's been okay. But he's got four touches and five picks.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: So he's not Sorsby, whom I've seen play a lot.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Which is why they went to the judge and so
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: on and so forth. Even that being said, I just, Brett,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I can't. I can't find a reason for the Buffaloes
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: to hang. And that sounds mean, that sounds terrible, but
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: that's the truth.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I'll give you a reason, Moj. Dave Chappelle, take it away.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Because f * * * them, that's why.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Let's go Buffs. Got nothing to lose, man.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Honestly, you're starting a new quarterback for the first time.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: You're taking on a formidable opponent. They're going to play
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: like Bo Nix in the fourth quarter. They got nothing
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: to lose, baby. No one believes in you.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, there's Nelly. That's the former Buffalo.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: No one's believed in CU for two years.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I I'm afraid, look, the unknown with Isaac Wilson is tantalizing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It's interesting. I don't listen. I don't know what this
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: junior has.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe not going from a five-star recruit prize recruit to
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: a backup quarterback is not something that I think is tantalizing.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: It's something that's disappointing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, he's unknown and maybe it turns out to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: be something glorious. Maybe I doubt it, but maybe. The
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: biggest part of my psyche and the biggest part of
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: me when looking at this game thinks that Ralphie running,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: and you know I love, don't wave your hand at
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: me about the Buffalo running. This Ralphie's badass.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Care?
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Nelly, part of me thinks that the highlight of the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: weekend is going to be me seeing Ralphie run before
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the game. Can I just take this? Is that not pathetic?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: That's sad. That's really kind of sad.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you this.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: A texter brings this up. I've been trying to tell
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: you guys this for a while. And I don't like
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: saying it because it sounds insulting. And I don't mean
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: it to sound insulting. But it's a reality that I
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: noticed immediately. I noticed it when they were putting out
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: videos in camp. Texas Tech has money. Money buys you players,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: no doubt. They have a quarterback problem, and that's a
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: big problem. Texas Tech will not finish this season ranked
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: number 12 or better.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Okay, they won't.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I think the quarterback issue is going to be too
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: much for them to overcome. But when I saw the
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: videos from camp.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: CU is a slight football team.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I see people on the field for CU, and I go,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: That does not look like a college football team from
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: their build. Like, I look at the arms of these guys.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I don't mean this to sound insulting, but it's a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: drastic difference. I turn on a Bama football game. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: turn on a Texas football game. I turn on Ohio State.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I turn on Michigan. I turn on all these different teams.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I turn on BYU. These guys are built. They have
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: girth to them.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Pfft.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Girth is necessary in the sport of football. Like, you
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: need to have size.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: And I look at a lot of CU guys, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: they're built with just, they're slight, they're fast.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: They're fast.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: But you play a team like Texas Tech, you have
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: to be able to hang in there from a physicality standpoint.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: And just visually, it doesn't look like it. And so
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: it feels like you're already behind the eight ball.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And go look at Texas Tech. Go look at those guys.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Ignore the quarterback position for a second and look at
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: the players on the field.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: They look like men. Yeah, they look beefy. Again, Brett,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: even the most diehard Buffaloes fan, here's my biggest fear.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: And Buffs fans, you've got to accept this. We're at
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the point in the season Where if they do get
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: blown out by Texas Tech at home, then we're going
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to stop talking about Buffalo's football.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not going to.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I am. There's going to be no need, Brett, to
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: talk about the Buffs versus Arizona.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but hang on, hang on.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: This is what you asked for. He's giving us our
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: sound effects.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Our podcast whoosh sounds.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: So you're going, I don't think anyone's going to be
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: talking about Dion.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing, though, Moj.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: You will be because if this thing continues to go
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: south and south and south and south, I've asked this question.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I've asked this question from the second he was hired.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Where do you need to be for there to be
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: a legitimate conversation Forget us and forget CU fans. Inside
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: that building in Boulder, about are we really going to
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: keep going with this? Because they have, and I hate
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: this discussion, but this is a part of it for them.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: You have somebody that makes you money. But you're making
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: money off of a product that your consumer doesn't find acceptable.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: And I don't know.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: how to even make a comparison to that in life.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: It would be if McDonald's is pumping out Big Macs
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: with mold on them consistently and the fries are cold
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: and not crisp and the soda machines are always done
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: and the McFlurries are always melted. And yet they're making
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: money off of all of that. Somehow it's still, forget.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Profitable, more profitable than they've been in a long time.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I don't even know how that works.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: That conversation will be, again, it will not be about
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the games. It'll be about a ticking clock. That'll be
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: the conversation. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. What do they do?
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: What do they do? What do they do? And then
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: we'll start talking about economics rather than football itself.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That being said, man, I don't want to talk economics.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Let's say you're at Florida. Let's talk big boy football here.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: You're somewhere in the SEC or Big Ten. And you've
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: got a coach with three years left on his contract
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: at 10 per. But you ain't getting it done. What
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: do they do?
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: They fire them.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: And what do they do? They pay him out.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: They pay him out, and then they hire another coach
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: for insane cash.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: You can't do that in Boulder. You don't, I mean,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: you can, but you don't have the resources to make
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: proper decisions.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: But you're right about that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: For the football program.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I take that back, Moj.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You do not have those resources.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: You do not have the money. Deion makes $ 10 million
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: a year. He's a top 10 paid coach.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: In the country.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: And they're going to go find the next biggest, I mean,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: for crying out loud, LSU fires their coach, right? Fires Kelly.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: What do they do?
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: They bring in Lane Kiffin.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: They bring in Lane Kiffin and pay him more.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Dude, they want to pay him. They want to natty
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: with Ed Orgeron. And about a year and a half later,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: fired him. Gave him an extension. Year and a half later,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: fired him. Then hired Brian Kelly from Notre Dame, poached him,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: and then fired him, paid him out, and then poached
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: That's the money they have. You don't have that. You're
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: right about that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: That's how you get it done in big boy college football.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: But to me, this is why... By.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: The way, Brett, I'm not delusional enough to think that,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, the Buffs swim in those same ponds, Big
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Ten and SEC ponds. But if you're serious about winning,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: there has to be a certain level of non-acceptance of
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: what the product looks like.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Let me nip something in the bud here real quick.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: A lot of people are texting and saying the Rockies
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: are like that. I understand why you'd make the comparison
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: because the Rockies have a bad product, but they make
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: money and people go to games still, right? That all
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: makes sense. Here's the flaw in that comparison. The Rockies
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: aren't making the money because Warren Schaefer is their manager. Right.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: That's not.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: There is no hesitation in firing the manager because you
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: feel like if you do that, the profits go with it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: It would be as if.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: How about this? It would be like if you signed.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: The equivalent of LeBron James, okay? And he's a player
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: on your roster, and he's hitting a buck 50 every night.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: He strikes out three times a game, hasn't hit a
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: home run for four months, but you feel like you
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: have to keep playing him because he's your cash cow.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: And people still show up to the ballpark because you
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: know what? I got to see LeBron James play.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Let's just say his name is Bryce Harper.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: But I need to make it such an outstanding, famous
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: human being that it can't just be Bryce Harper. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: don't even think it could be Shohei. It has to
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: be Michael Jordan when he went to play baseball for
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: the White Sox. Not a good baseball player. Was not
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: going to help your team win. But you bet your
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: ass people would pay top dollar to go see Michael
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Jordan play baseball. The buffs are in a place, potentially
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: at the end of this year, where the product is bad,
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: everybody knows it's bad, everybody wants it to stop being bad,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: but they.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Say, yeah, but.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Let me show you my checking account from the last
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: four years. That's the issue. And that's the problem.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: And I don't know how a university would deal with it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: What's the importance that you put between the financials of
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: what this brings to you over.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: The actual product that you're getting?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Agreed. A couple things before we get to, oh, by
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: the way. You know what's going on down at the,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I wish I could be at the academy tomorrow. Early
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: game down at the academy. Guess who's in town? Navy. Oh, yeah.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Love that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: And I don't care if you're an Air Force person,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: a Navy person, an Army person, whatever the case may be.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: When the service academies hook up, it is always special. Yep.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: The pomp and circumstances is always special. And by the way,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Navy has been pretty good the last couple of years.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Not off to a great start this year. But it's just...
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: It makes you proud to be an American to watch
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: those two schools go at it, and they appreciate each
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: other once the game is over. They want to beat
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: the snot out of each other, but they get together.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: It's a really cool thing. And the Rammies this weekend.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Pac-12 matchup. Yeah. They're hosting Oregon State, and I don't
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: know what to make of that. I don't know what
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: to make of the Biebs.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know what to make of CSU.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Me either.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: CSU was a dog last week because Haney was hurt.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: And then they put up half a hundred, and they
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: still lost.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: So maybe Haney wasn't the issue?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe. What's his story? I have no idea about his hammy.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: No clue.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: We'll get to that in just a second.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: 303-504-0925.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: Back after this.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that. Bye.

  Speaker 5: Here's one for you. Do you remember.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Gosh, if you can go back in your memory bank,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: over the last year, There was a slow drip of
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: information about, oh yeah, Steve Ballmer and Kawhi Leonard cheating.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Remember that?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I heard something about that. I really wasn't sure what
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: was going down.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you want to play the easiest game ever
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: of is he lying? Here's Kawhi Leonard when asked about
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Pablo Torre's Investigative report.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: Another Pupil Toria episode came out last night. I'm just
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: kind of curious as this has gone on, do you
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: pay attention to them? How do you block them out?
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: Pupil Toria, the podcast that's kind of sort of pushing
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: the investigation.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: No, I don't follow it. I don't know what to
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: think of it or really expect I'm not entertained by it. Um,
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: like I said before, the NBA did their job. Uh,
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: the PA did their job. And, um, yeah, I don't know.
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: I don't even know what he's talking about.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: I don't even, I'm sorry. Did you say Shmablo Shmoray?
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: What's that guy's name again?
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: I've never heard of that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Flynn?
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: That's, yeah, I, what? What are you talking about?
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: President, have you heard about the story that, what did
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: you say? Slaughtergate? What was that again? I've never heard
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: of it. That's crazy.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Did you say slaughter mate? What?
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Here's what's funny.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: We talk about oil.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: Oil?
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: We're saying about oil. Are you cooking? What a great episode.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Here's the deal.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out in the history of this
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: damn sport, or sports in general, has anybody gotten off
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: of a really, really serious accusation.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Better than Kawhi Leonard, who.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: The NBA literally did this.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: They traded, if you play ball with us, So we
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: can nail Steve Ballmer on some things. You get off scot-free, essentially.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, $ 275, 000, something like that? No, I think it
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: was like $ 700, 000.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, $ 700, 000.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: That's a big fine. How much money did he make
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: from Aspiration?
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: More than $ 700, 000.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: And so they're like, play ball with us. To hit
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: this guy that you will no longer be playing for,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: by the way. Remember that whole trade of you going
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: like out of the country? You don't even have to
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: look him in the eye again.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Play ball with us. Sit on that witness stand and
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: you point at him. And say, he's guilty.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: I saw it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: It's pretty damn crazy. Anyway, I just, I don't follow that.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Come on, man. It's only the biggest story in the
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: NBA in the offseason.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Pablo Escobar?
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Is that what you said?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry? I don't do drugs, man. I don't even
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: know what you're talking about. Hey, oh, by the way, Brett,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: do you know what year the New York Rangers entered
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: the NHL? Something happened last night that's never been done
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: in the history of the franchise.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: Tell me.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: They entered the National Hockey League in the 1926-1927 season. Okay.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: And something that has not happened then in 100 years.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: They've had 93 different starting goaltenders since then.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Or 93 goalies. Yep. Last night, Igor Shesterkin.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: She's twerking.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Igor, she's twerking, scored a goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: A 5-1 win. So Vasilevsky's pulled. Carlson dumps the puck
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: into the Rangers' zone. It bounces off the boards right
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: to the crease. He takes the stick and just fires it. Bang, scored.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: That's sick.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: It's never happened in the history of the New York Rangers.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: And by the way, Patrick Waugh never scored a goal. Dude,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: he tried, he tried, he tried when he was in Avalanche.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I love it. Not only that, but they would set
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: up plays for him in face-offs in the defensive zone
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: to get him the puck to try and score, and
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: he never did. So wait a minute.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Did you hear what the Lightning coach had to say
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: about that goal postgame?
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: What's great about today is that it's not yesterday.
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: Sometimes you win the game and not the score.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: That'd be cool.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Somebody, Pablo Torre, please investigate him for something. Just something.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Why do you want to take down John Cooper? He
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: never did anything to you. By the way, he says.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: What do you mean he never did anything to me?
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: He speaks. By the way, Shusterkin said after the game,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I will keep trying to score.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Funny stuff, man.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Who was the abs goalie from a couple? It was
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: a while ago. He always tried to score.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: Was it Darcy? There was an abs goalie that any
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: time late in the game, he would fire a moon ball.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: They all want to do it. Yeah. They all want
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: to score. Trust me.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: The long Detroit nightmare for the Pistons of Jalen Duren
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: is now done. He decided to sign his five-year 200th.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: $ 200 million fully guaranteed contract to return to the Pistons. Now,
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: this is a big question mark for me because Jalen
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: Dern was maybe the worst player of impact in all
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: of the playoffs last year. He was, forget invisible, he
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: was a hindrance to his team. They offered him $ 200
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: million a while ago and he said no.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: And I go, what? Who does this guy think he is?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: So smart on his part to finally sign that contract.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: He finally wised up. He could have gotten Dennis Schroeder,
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: which is they offered you $ 75 million, and he comes
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: away with a two-point-something million dollar contract. So I was
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: waiting for him to stop being stupid, and he finally did.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Good for him.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, this is the first time I've
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: heard this happen. What's the biggest college football program in
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: the state of Louisiana?
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: LSU?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: By a mile. Yeah. Well, you've got a regent in Louisiana,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: a state regent, who's urging Louisiana Tech, Louisiana, and Louisiana
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Monroe to take a slice of, quote, humble pie and
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: drop from FBS down to FCS.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Why do people care? What's his reasoning for it?
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Because the financials for these schools in college football are
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: not good. Quote, schools that are trying to play Division I,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: just a sinking hole trying to play Division I ball.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think much of public would know the difference
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: if they play all the same level.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: What did you say?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He doesn't think that if they drop
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: from FBS to FCS that the public would even know.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I think they would, but this guy is saying, hey, look, man,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Monroe faces a $ 10 million deficit, Tech 17, and Louisiana
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: is at $ 20 million. In the red. Yeah. And so
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: he's saying, look, just drop out of FBS and go
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: to FCS. You ever heard of that, though, where you
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: have a state regent for these state schools? There are
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: six state schools saying, get the hell out of FBS.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: My first year at UNO, we had a football team
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: and we had a wrestling team. Wrestling team was multi-time
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: national champion, one of the best in the country.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: They cut them my freshman year because they wanted to
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: make the jump from D2 to D1. They didn't have
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: the money to do.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: That for wrestling and football. So cut the programs.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: And like I said, two pretty story programs for Division
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: II standards anyway. I mean, UNO had, I think at
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: that time, three or four players in the NFL. Like,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: they produced some players. And just caught it and was like, nope,
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: if we're going to go D1, we can only afford
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: baseball and basketball and stuff like that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, by the way, after last night's Browns win
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and this is alternate universe crap.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: I almost said another word.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: They're 3-1 the Browns are, dude. I can't. Weird. Yep.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Very weird. After that win, who's their starting quarterback going forward?
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: But according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Browns would welcome
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: a deal for Shador Sanders or Dylan Gabriel at the
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: right price.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: If you were a team out there, would you trade
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: for Shador?
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: What's the price?
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: They can't spend an entire offseason saying that he's not
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: good enough to start over a guy who looked miserable
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: and then try and tell me he deserves a third-round pick.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying they're willing to deal him now.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: Would I take a shot on Shador?
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: 100% I would. Now, it's not going to be for
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: a high price. You want me to toss you, I
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: don't know, a seventh? Or I give you a sixth,
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: you give me a seventh? We do a little swap
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: that way?
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll take.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: A flyer on it. I can think of a handful
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: of teams that, if I was Miami, I'd do it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: If I was the Jets, I would do it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of surprised that the Giants decided we'll throw
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: a fifth at JJ. I know he's like a tenth
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: overall pick or whatever, but still.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: If I was one of those teams, I would throw them, yeah,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: a pick swap, whatever, and get him in.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Throw me a swap. I'll give you this round, or
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: you give me the round later than that, and we'll
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: do that. Nellie, you said you got one.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, Moj, I know it was tearing
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: you up that you couldn't be on the call for
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: the Avs' first game of the season. But if it's
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: any consolation, the TNT National Broadcast knows your pain, and
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: they gave you a little shout-out on the air.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: John Kelly on the call.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: The boys of the LA Kings, who we've bumped out
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: of this broadcast here tonight.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it, JK.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Tip of the cap to John Kelly and Mark Mosier.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Play guys for their respective teams playing here tonight. Have
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: to sit on the sidelines on opening night.
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: Absolutely.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: We've all been there before and it's home team. You
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: want it. You want to do those games. We're glad
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to be here for sure.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: National little John Kelly shout out little Mo shout out.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: It's Brendan Burke. How about me?
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: Nobody shouts me out.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Well, they probably saw me talking to Kendall Smith in
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: the first intermission right on the jumbotron going. She's like,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: you're not calling the game tonight. I know I'm sitting
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: here with my teeth in my mouth. How are you doing, Kendall?
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: By the way, she's really good. She's doing a great job.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: No, I'm not calling the game tonight. Those bleep holes
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: are in my booth.
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: Mine!
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: So they probably saw that go. You know what? Yeah,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: we've all been there. Burke does the Islanders games, and
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: he does some TNT stuff, obviously. We've all been there. God, man,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: that would have been... 12 goals scored, and McKinnon punches
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: out Brent Clark?
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to do that game. That would suck.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: Boring, boring game.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Boring, boring, yeah.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Speaking of, we'll get a preview of the Avs here
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: for the weekend in the 9 o'clock hour. Got Laid Down,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: got Drunk Takes, all of that on this Bud Light
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Football Friday. Stick around.
