  Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: In a while, these shoes, you know, to be around
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: a good group of people. Definitely a fun challenge going
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: against a guy like that, you know, and I hope
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you get healthy.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: It's just perfect.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, from now on, he needs to be interviewed
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: after every game and just have that track in the background.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: I absolutely love that guy, man. Love that guy. Because
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: he talks at one speed and then he's... Great stuff.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: It's really... It's impressive how quickly... Because.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: You can hear every word. You have to listen close,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: but you can hear every word.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Man, it's real big. It's real big. We just got
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: to keep it on metal. Impressive. Keep it pushing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Enjoy this one, Dallas.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Appreciate it. Thank you.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Moshe, what did you think of the Avs last night?
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Well, I listened to Connor, so the best I could
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: possibly glean is that they weren't their best last night.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: They played a lot of young guys. They wanted to
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: get a look at a lot of very young players. Again,
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? See what they'll do in
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: the future, that kind of thing. But they've got some
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: promising guys.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: What's the Nabokov plan?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Is he once....
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Wedgwood has his contract run up this year. Is he
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: next in line? Is that what it feels like? I
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: think he probably, he's probably the future.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I will say this. My first look at him was
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: the other night and I was highly impressed. Now he
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: seemed a bit unorthodox at times. He, he, but the
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: way he moves is so quick. His push is incredibly quick.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I've got to see more of his glove hand, more
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: of his blocker, more of that sort of thing. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: he almost at times had a little Dominic Hachik going
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: on inside of his game, but he's so quick. And
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: he's not the biggest goalie in the world. It's amazing
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: because now you get goalies. Or, oh, let's say, okay,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: he's six foot. Oh, he's tiny because you've got all
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: these behemoths in the National Hockey League, the Ottingers and
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: the Hellebucks and these guys who are 6'4 and 6'5
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: and this kind of thing. But he seems really good.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: And by the way, You know, he's only 23 years old,
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: wanted to come over and play in the North American market,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: get over to North America and play this type of
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: game because it's going to be different than he had
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: in the K. Yeah. Because what he's– I love the
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: way Jared Bednar said it the other day. He said, look,
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: I don't watch a whole lot of KHL hockey. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: don't really have time for that. But in the pro game,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: in the AHL and in the NHL, guys go hard
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: to the front of the net. And you've got to
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: be able to operate. You've got to be able to
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: play your game with guys all in your kitchen. I mean,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: right there up on in you. So he's got to
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: kind of get used to some of that kind of thing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: But I was impressed. I thought his quickness was outstanding.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: And he's pretty much done. Everything you can do in
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: the KHL. I mean, he's kind of... You're seasoned. Yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: he's been very, very good in that league. And now
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: here he comes.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Moj, I'm intrigued by this Zachary LaRue character. Give me
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: a comp.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: He... Boy, Vic... I'm going to try to because... It's
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: difficult to really pigeonhole this guy because he's not the
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: biggest guy in the world, but he's a motor, always
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: going kind of guy. And the interesting part is he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: a former first-round pick. So you don't draft a guy
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: in the first round to be a fourth-line winger. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: he's 23 years of age. I think he's still got
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: plenty of growth possibilities. But he's a real motor, always going,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: going to be under your skin, in your face, all
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the time kind of guy. I don't think he's ever
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: going to be a first-round talent goal scorer in the
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: National Hockey League, but he definitely will have a job
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: for a long time. He's only 23. Yeah, he is.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: But again, what you did as a junior.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: doesn't always necessarily translate to the National Hockey League in
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: terms of scoring. I think Tyson Joe's college guy is
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: an example of that. But this guy has adapted his
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: game to be able to find a job, and he's
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: just a hard-working– he's like a smaller version of Logan O'Connor.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: How's that? Okay.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: God, how small is he?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: 5'11.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: There's no way.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's 5'11. Okay. Opener is 8'.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Days away, by the way, Adam Schefter is going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: join us at nine 20. Mosher mentioned something at the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: beginning of the show that I'd like to revisit, which
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: is this. You thought it was disrespectful that the Broncos
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: were underdogs heading into this week against the Rams.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Now, well, I mean, it feels disrespectful. I can logically
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: see why they would be, but it feels to me,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: it feels disrespectful.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Let me, let me ask the question a different way.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Forget the opponent for a moment. Cause you're, you're facing
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: one of the best teams in the NFL and you'll,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I will say that for the next three weeks after this, too,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: because that's just the way the schedule is setting up.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: But the Rams were Super Bowl favorites to start the year.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Let's just put that off to the side. Just through
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: two weeks, what do you feel about the Broncos? What
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: would your assessment of the Broncos be through two weeks?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: They can beat anybody, and then they can lay an
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: egg in opportune times. A lot of it's going to
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: depend on if the offense is up for it. I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: good on the defense. I think the first week was
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: an anomaly. I think the first week was a tackling anomaly.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I think this defense is as good as.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: It's ever been.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: You know what I would say? I don't disagree with that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I don't disagree with that. I would say.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: This is how you know you have a good football team.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Is if you can say this. I don't think the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Broncos would lose to a bad opponent. I know it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the NFL and that can happen to anybody.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: And blah, blah, blah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I just think they're too solid... in the areas that
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: matter most, to where if they played one of the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: bottom-tier teams in the NFL, they're beating them.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Even on a bad day, they beat them. These are
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: the teams they would not lose to. Jets, Dolphins, Browns,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Steelers right now, Titans, Chargers. Be careful on the Chargers.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: They've struggled with the Chargers over the last few years. Washington.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: But you know what I'm talking about here.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: If you're facing a bottom-rung team in the league, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: think even on a bad day for Denver, they would
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: still find a way to get the win.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, so what does that make the Chiefs?
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Uh, Chiefs are good. They're a good team. Yeah, they're good.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy how quickly things can turn? I, what,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: what's turned with the Chiefs?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Well, there was a lot of suspicions coming in. Ah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: you know, Mahomes isn't going to be ready. He's nine
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: months removed.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Ah, big deal.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker, he's not going to single-handedly turn them around.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Defense is too soft. I still have questions about their defense,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: but it's a good team.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: That's... Yeah, that's the thing. I think everybody figured the
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Chiefs would be good.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of would they be back to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: AFC championship game every year level Chiefs? That I'm still
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: curious about.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: We'll see. Well, the Chiefs were, okay, they're going to
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: win the division. How far will they go in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: playoffs every single year? That's the old Chiefs. Now, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: don't think they're that. But they're obviously a good team.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: They're very good. But as far as the Broncos go, I.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Still have a question on It's kind of like the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: same way I would speak about Bo Nix. Bo Nix
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: is a good quarterback. I don't know where the height
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: of that is. And I would say for the Broncos
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: this year with the schedule that they're facing, I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: know where the ceiling of when they operate at full capacity,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: what does that look like?
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Correct. Also, I go back to, oh my goodness, against
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Kansas City in week number one, Jalen Waddell was targeted twice,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: had one catch, and he had a nothing-nothing game.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: And then... He.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Did drop a first down.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: He did. Yeah, well, then he comes on out with
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: 138 yards receiving and looked super dynamic against the Jaguars.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Best player on the field.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so where is the truth in regards to that?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Is it somewhere in the middle? Is it closer to
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: the higher end? You know what he is, Moshe?
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I think he's a player too. You've got to give
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: him a taste early. Give him a taste. Let him go.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: So, Vic, where is he going to be on any
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: given week? Is he close to a 100-yard guy every week,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: or is it a little bit lower than that? I
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: don't know, but this is just such a small sample
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: size so far. But I'm encouraged. I really am encouraged.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: We'll see. Look, you were able to knock down the
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: high-flying offense of the Jacksonville Jaguars. You held them to
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: 13 points. They hadn't been lower than like 22 or
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: 24 points.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I think it's 23 in 12 straight games or something.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 12 straight games, and you held them to 10
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: less than that. So that's pretty dang good. The Rams
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: are a high-flying offense. So how many points will you
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: need to score this week? I'm guessing it's going to
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: be north of what you scored against the Jaguars, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: that was 20. The thing that they.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Need to focus on with the Rams is just if
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: you could limit how many big plays you're going to have,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: they're going to have a few, okay? Their offense is
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: too good. They're going to pop you a few times
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: for 20, 30-yard passes to Puka or to Devontae or whoever.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It's going to happen. Can you limit that, and can
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: you stiffen up in the red zone? You know, this
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: is one of those games, and this is why when
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: people were telling me I was being too negative following
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: a win, I think of games like the Rams in
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: which they're going to score and you're going to have
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to keep up. You can't putter out in the red zone.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: You can't not convert on third and short. You can't
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: not convert on first and goal from the one-yard line.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: That'll be the stuff that loses you games against teams
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: like this. And that's where that stuff matters. And so
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: it is a red flag to me moving forward against
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: good competition like this. There ain't going to be a game,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and that includes last week where the defense did a
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: phenomenal job of holding the.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Jags at bay.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: But there ain't going to be a game here in
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the next few weeks outside, ironically, maybe the Chargers, in
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: which you aren't going to have to put up 20-some
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: points to probably win that football game. Like, the Rams,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: you aren't going to win that game 13-10. You aren't
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: going to do that against the Niners. Maybe the Chargers
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: because they've been terrible.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Seattle.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Seattle, you aren't going to be able to do that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Darnold will be back by then.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Drew Locke's throwing the ball everywhere.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: He did. He did this past week.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: So you're going to have the next four games are
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: going to be games in which your offense is going
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: to have to pull its part equally to the defense.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Okay, so... Last night for the Rams, their rushing and
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: passing was pretty similar. 31 passes, 28 rushes. I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: that when you're looking ahead to Sunday night.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's the exact same number as the Broncos
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and the Jags.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Correct. But again, if you're putting... I don't know if
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Harvey's going to be able to go. And we heard
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: that J.K. is, quote, good. I don't know what that means.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Is that 100% good? What's Harvey's situation? But the Rams
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: run the football pretty effectively, too. They had over 160
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: yards of rushing last night. They got a good one-two punch. Listen,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Kyron Williams obviously caught a touchdown so he can catch
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: the football, but Blake Corum, they utilize him as well.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, they switch those guys out, and these guys
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: are pretty effective at running the ball, man. Corum's a
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: good back. So if you're talking about trying to balance
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: attack with balance attack, What's going to be your running game,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: the situation this coming weekend? I don't know what it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: going to be. I think we'll all wait this week, Vic,
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: with bated breath to see if these guys practice and
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: if they can go.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: It's the key areas of, you know, the ones that
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: coaches look at at the end of games that are
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: pretty much the indicator of success and failure.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Third down, red zone. If you don't convert on.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Both of those things at least a decent clip this weekend,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: then you're going to be in for some trouble. Because
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I know one thing, the Rams are going to, like
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: they're going to do that. They are very, very good.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, there is going to be
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: a huge spotlight on Riley Moss this weekend. He played
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: great against Jacksonville. He's going to have to do that
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: again because it doesn't matter if we're talking about Puka
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: or Devontae Adams or whoever. I bet you Stafford, who
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: watches film and likes to throw a deep ball, especially
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: if you're on one-on-one coverage.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: They're going to test him.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: They're going to test him.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think so much to the point of like,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I bet you I can beat this guy with a throw.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I bet you we can get a 40-yarder out.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Of this off a flag.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going to put these guys one-on-one because Broncos
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: love to play man, jump ball game, and we'll see
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: if the ref throws the penalty or not.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: And it's going to be a lot of that. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: you might walk.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Around shaking your head Sunday night saying that is not
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: a penalty, but you could be damn sure. I'm surprised
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: more teams don't try that, especially with big receivers. And
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: at the core, I believed on that third down interception
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: that Bo Nix threw, The other day, the attempt was
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to just give Cortland Sutton a chance, a jump ball. Now,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the defender played it perfectly. And maybe he was throwing
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: too far in front of Cortland Sutton. But I can
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: see Stafford down the sidelines.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: He's going to throw Devontae Adams and Puka if Puka
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: plays some jump balls.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Stafford is so good, too, at this play. He's good
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: at the guys on a fly pattern down the sideline,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: and he throws it short, and the guy turns around
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: and lets the defender run through him.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the auto-PI. Right, then it's an easy fly.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, Stafford, he knows every trick in the book,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: and Devontae Adams has been around forever, and I don't
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: know if Puka's going to play. We'll see, but if
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: he does, it's going to be exponentially more difficult.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: We have another big high school football game on Friday
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: night between No. 5 Legend and No. 8 Arapahoe. Kickoff
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: is at 7 p.m. on AM 950. It's brought to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: you by Wings Credit Union. Financial decisions can stack up fast.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Wings Credit Union can help. Let's figure it out together.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Visit wingscu.com.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter in about an hour. Stick around.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Every Tuesday at 820, we go around the weekend that
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: was in the NFL.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: And on Sunday....
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Panthers and Falcons. Panthers dominate. The Falcons are terrible. The
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Falcons made the decision mid-game that Cooper Rush is so
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: bad that we can't continue with this. We're going to
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: put in somebody that you've never heard of.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: A man by the name of Jack Strand.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Who walked in and threw a pick immediately and then
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: also had a fumble that was lost. The Falcons are
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a mess, but my bigger thing is maybe Bryce Young
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: found something? The first two weeks, he's put up 650
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: yards passing, six touchdowns.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: The reason they lost to the Bears was not Bryce Young. No,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: it's because they gave up 59. Because they gave up
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: 59 points to Caleb Williams and company. That's right.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: But it's been a remarkable first couple of weeks for
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young. Panthers now 1-1, the Falcons 0-2.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: That offense is pretty potent. Maybe we should pay attention
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: to that because they put up 37 in a loss
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and then 34 in a drubbing. Yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Well, he's got some consistency in the offense now. You
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: can tell. You can feel it. Plus, Jack Strand sounds
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: like an SNL character.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it does. He sounds like a guy that stars
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: in like a Navy SEAL movie.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: So Vikings and Bears, it was a rainy, sloppy mess.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: We all know the big story that Caleb Williams goes
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: down with the injury.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I cannot believe his career is over. might be able
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: to play this weekend. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: conflicting reports. I thought there was an amputation involved.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: He might play this year and he was screaming and crying.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Here's the thing. I did not know that there was
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: a might play this weekend.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: He's Vicky's considered week to week, but they're not ruling
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: him out for Sunday against the Eagles.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Um, But here's the thing. Going into the game, I
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: was really intrigued by this because Brian Flores, I think,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: is the best defensive play caller in the league, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Ben Johnson might be the best offensive play caller. No
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: points were scored, not a single touchdown in that game.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: The Vikings win 9-3, but to their credit, the Vikings
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: are 2-0 against the Packers and the Bears, two divisional opponents,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: with Carson Wentz as their starting quarterback.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: I was going to say the same thing, man. Is
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connell that good? O'Connell.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: O'Connell.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: O'Connell, is he that good as a head coach?
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Yes. He might be.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, can he whisper any quarterback?
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, let me get your reaction to this. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: heard last night that Kyler Murray's going to be ready.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: They're going to put him back at starting quarterback. Yep. Yep,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: he announced that yesterday. On the road to the winless
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What happens if Kyler loses?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not like Wentz tore it up.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Understood. Did win two games, though. He did when he
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: came in in relief, he did.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Vikings 2-0 the Bears 1-1. Eagles and Titans. The Titans
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: had this game late, allowed a late touchdown from Philly
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to come back. They win the game 24-20. A couple
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: of really bad decisions by Jalen Hurts, but then he
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: comes back and makes a couple of really good throws
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: towards the end of the game. Felt really like Broncos'
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: offense-y with what Philadelphia was doing, but they improved to
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: 2-0 and the Titans are 0-2. Big question, though, is Titans,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: brand new coach this year, Robert Sala. If they don't
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: start to rack up some wins, it might be two
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: years and done for Cam Ward, maybe.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: But see, this is what these kind of teams do.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: They have an opportunity to win the game. They probably
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: should win the game, and they blow it. Yeah. You
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: see what I mean? They just can't put it together.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: And when wins are going to be hard to come
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: by for a team, you can't. You can't let it
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: slip out of your hands on the home field even
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: if it is 187 degrees.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I think you have to give more than two years
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: to your first overall pick.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, your first round draft pick.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, Bryce Young. Remember, Bryce Young had some bad
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: days too early in his career.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Exactly right. And he came back.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Speaking of, you said teams that are bad that don't
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: find ways to win at the end of the game.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I want to go to the Packers and Jets because
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the Jets had that game on a string. Packers were
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: looking awful. They allow them to come back in the
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, put up 10 points, send the game into overtime.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Jets don't score an OT. Packers do. They win 20-17.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I get a lot of questions about what Green Bay
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: is going to be this year because they are talented.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: They obviously, and you could tell by the end of
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: last year, miss Micah Parsons on that defense. They were
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a different team with Micah in the lineup, and they're
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: still waiting for him to get healthy. But the big
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: thing is, like, I keep waiting for Jordan Love to
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: try and take this thing over. And for Packers fans
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: who have been spoiled for 30 years of Brett Favre
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: and Aaron Rodgers, I just don't think Jordan Love is
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: the next guy in line.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: He's a good quarterback. He's a good kid.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Kid.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: This is my litmus test. You realize they signed Jordan
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Love to a four-year, $ 220 million contract extension. And I
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: love the way he throws the football. But is he.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: And you're saying, well, he's good.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: He's good.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: He's good.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: But not great.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Okay. At least not.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Look, man, when you're spoiled like Packers fans have been,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I think you expect Favre and Rodgers.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: But my point is to commit that kind of money
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: to a guy that he's middle of the pack of the, gosh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: should we pay him kind of guy. It's tough, man.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: These are hard decisions for teams.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, Steelers and Patriots. Patriots, not a
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: great couple of first weeks for them, especially on offense.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Drake May, who was this close to winning an MVP
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: last year, not quite at that pace. But the Patriots
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: do win that game 20-3 because the Steelers, as I
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: will say every week with.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Them, what's the point? What's the point of this football team?
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: What are they?
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: What is this?
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: They're operating like.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You know, the golden state warriors have like Steph Curry
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: and they're like, well, I don't want to totally give
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: up on this because we have this guy. The Steelers
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: are pretending that Aaron Rogers is that, and he's not
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: that anymore.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: He's just not selling us.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Um, funny thing is, he got destroyed.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, credit to him for a man of his age
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: to take a hit like that from the blind side
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and still remain in the game is crazy.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: Forgive my ignorance. Who coaches the Steelers again?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Um, Did you guys hear what Aaron Rodgers said after
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: the game?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: How is this for, I'm going to sound like I'm
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: taking responsibility while also completely pooping on my coaching staff?
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: This is a great line.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Go ahead. In a game like today where there wasn't
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: a lot of flow to it, we need to be better,
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: and it starts with me, at making sure Mike knows
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: what's working, what's not working, our coaches know, and so
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: we can call stuff that we feel like has a
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: better chance.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I need to take responsibility of letting my coaches know
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: they're doing a terrible job calling plays.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Their play calling is crap.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: They might as well just let him call the plays.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, you know what?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: You inherit a guy that old that's been around that long.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Just say, okay, go ahead, do it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Vic, who's the last quarterback that called his own plays?
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Is it Terry Bradshaw?
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: God, I don't know.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Has it been 50 years or so? It used to
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: be very common. It was very common. Google that right now, please.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Last quarterback to exclusively call his own offensive plays.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Because, and I'm going to be honest with you, it
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: can't hurt if you say, okay, Aaron, it's on you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Call your own plays in the huddle. It can't hurt.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Jim Kelly said that he called about 95% of the
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: plays when he was in Buffalo.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're kidding.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Only deferring to head coach Marv Levy for specific short
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: yardage or goal line situations. Wow. That was in the, yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: later in his career.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: You know, as often as Peyton Manning would just ad
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: lib and change plays, I mean, you could essentially say
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: he called his own plays.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: He would change them up all the time.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: He had the authority to do it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Patriots 1-1, Steelers 1-1.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Browns-Bucks.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: The Buccaneers who did not, they haven't lost a season
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: opener since 2020. They have not gone 0-2 for even
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: longer than that. They're at home against the Browns, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: you're thinking, okay, well, this is an easy way for
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield to get back on it. After a two-hour
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: delay because of a monsoon that came through, the Browns,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: who held the lead before the final two minutes, hold
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: on the final drive, and they win their first game
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: of the year, 23-19 over Tampa, and send Tampa to 0-2.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: That game is the.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Reason our survivor pool ended after week two.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. Tampa's going to be hosting Minnesota this week, too.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: You call it a Fluss Flynn? Oh, for them? Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I told some folks that our survivor pool is over
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: after week two, and they said, how dumb are you?
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: And I said, really dumb. We're really dumb people.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: It's over, pal.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: If you guys missed it, by the way, Mike Tomlin
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: last week, in week one, when the Browns got demolished,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: said this.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: On Sunday Night Football.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Starting for the first time since week seven of 2024,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: but it was not a good showing, Coach T.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: No, not off to a good start here. He throws
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: an interception.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: In the words of my friend Juju Smith-Schuster, the Browns
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: is the Browns.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Browns is the Browns. Here's Todd Monken after the game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Browns are going to Browns.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: F * * * that.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: So, the guys took that to heart.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you something.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Monk can get all of your chest thumping out of
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the way right now because I feel like you're not
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: going to have a lot of weeks like that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: But the Browns are 1-1. The Bucs are 0-2. Saints
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: and Ravens.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I told you, man. Why is going into week three
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: for the Bucs a must win? I like the Saints, Moshe.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I think the Saints look great. They should be 2-0.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: They should have beat Detroit.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: I'm going to give you credit.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: At the beginning of the season, end of the summer,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: we were asked one day on this show, and I
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: don't know who asked it, what team may surprise you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: And you, Brett Cain, mentioned the Saints. And I thought
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: about it. I was like, well, maybe. And so far,
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: you were right.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: They should be 2-0. They should have beat Detroit in
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: week one. In week two, they come out with a
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: great fourth quarter, and they beat Baltimore in Baltimore. And remember,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: that's a Ravens team that looked like world beaters the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: first week of the season.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: I'll say this.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I know that Bryce Young is playing really well right
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: now in that division as Baker Mayfield. So there's two
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks you're like, yeah, they're pretty good. I'm really curious
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: what Tyler Shuck's going to be. That kid makes some throws, man,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: that are like top-of-the-heap type of throws, tight window on
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: the money, in stride, and he did that towards the
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: end of the game against Baltimore.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: When he was at Louisville, though, I had— I couldn't
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: envision he'd be this kind of guy.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't either, but I noticed at the end of
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: last year, remember, they drafted him, he sat on the
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: bench for a while, and then towards the end of
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: the season, he took over.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: They said, screw it, we're going to play him.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: He won like five of the final seven games since
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: taking over as a starter, and it's just continuing to
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: be that way.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, you know what he's got that other people
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: don't got?
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: What's he got?
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: He's got an Olave.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Yet, remember, this team doesn't even have Jordan Tyson, who
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: was drafted ninth overall.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Chris Olave... This guy's a stud. Is he one of
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: the most underrated wideouts in the league, you think? I
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: think he's getting hid in New Orleans. I think so, too.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: How many Ohio State receivers are dominating the NFL?
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: They are everywhere, dude.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: It is unreal.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: So the Saints, one and one.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Ravens, one and one. Jackson, Smith, and one.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Juba.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Bengals and Texans. Cincinnati, we're all looking for a— Can
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. Houston, we have a problem. Well, Houston does
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: have a problem.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Now, everybody's looking for Cincinnati to be a lot better
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: since Joe Burrow is healthy. Here's... Cincinnati gets a big
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: win the first week of the season. So they go out.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: First week, they play against Tampa. They beat Tampa 33-27. Now,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know what type of team Tampa is, but
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: it's a good win. They now go out, beat the
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Texans in Houston in week two. Offense going up against
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: a very good Houston defense. They put up 20 points.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: They get the dub. I'm kind of over Houston, to
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: be honest with you.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Stroud threw the ball 55 times in that game. I know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: You ain't going to win.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Well, think about this, Vic. He threw the ball 55 times.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, good Lord, dude.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: This is crazy. C.J.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Stroud, who has been somebody that He has struggled over
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years. You're playing against Cincy. You
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: got to win some time at possession battle. They ran
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the football 18 times in that game. Three of them
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: from CJ Stroud. You just went out, spent some money
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: on David Montgomery in the offseason.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: He was their leading rusher.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Well, I know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: You just went out, though, made the trade for David Montgomery,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: and you're going to give him six carries?
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: That's it?
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Six carries, 10 yards.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: You got to stick to it. Hey, I'm old enough
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: to remember on a Monday night football game a couple
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: of weeks ago when the Broncos didn't run the football
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: at all either. You got to win some time of possession.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: You're absolutely right.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Texans 0-2 to start the year. Bengals 2-0.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I think. There's no way. There's no way. They're not
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: that good.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: The Raiders go into L.A. They beat the Chargers 26-14.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is three touchdowns. The Chargers, I think I
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: heard this right. Somebody fact-check me on this. I don't
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: think the Chargers have ran a play in the red
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: zone through the first two weeks of the season.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: That's the Falcons.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: No, I think the Chargers are with the Falcons. Ask
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: that question again. Again, fact-check me here because I know
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the Falcons are one. I believe the Chargers have not
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: had a play in the red zone through two weeks.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: That can't be true. That's just, that's crazy. Look it up, Nelly.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, they've scored four touchdowns. They all came from
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: outside the red zone.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: They were huge touchdowns though.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Wow. And that's their problem is that they don't sustain drives.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: That's their issue. No, I think that's wrong. Dude, there's
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: trouble in Chartertown, man. They got to go to Buffalo
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: this week. They are going to be 0-3. My guess
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: is they have a good chance of being 0-7 to
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: start the year. Forget everything I said that's not true.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know where I heard that.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: That's like just speaking dumb stuff into a mic and
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: then getting fact-checked later.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Well, look, I did say fact-check me on this.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Okay, fact-check me on this one.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: I don't think a single human being has worn a
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: uniform for the Chargers. They've all been zoo animals that
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: show up on game day.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Fact-check me, though. I will tell you this. Justin Herbert
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: is playing like a left-handed monkey. I'm telling you right now,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: that guy's head is not in the game of football, dude.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: He looks like a mess. He's an absolute sloppy pig mess.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: What's more fraudulent through the first two weeks? Let me
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: ask you this question. Is it the Raiders being 2-0
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: or is it the Chargers being 0-2?
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: I think I'm.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Surprised by both in the same manner.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: We were never supposed to be in this position. Dude,
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins has six touchdown passes through two games. I know.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: I mean, what world are we living in, man?
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: So, again, Raiders 2-0, Chargers 0-2. But hold on a second.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: They had a terrible preseason, the Raiders did. Clint Kubiak's like, yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: we're going to be ready and stuff.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Cowboys and Commanders. Cowboys win 37-20. The bigger news for
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Washington is their only hope was maybe that Jaden Daniels
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: returns to form like he did in the NFC Championship
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: game a couple years ago. Jaden Daniels now has an
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: elbow that went inside out, and that's going to be
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: a big problem for Washington because I don't think Washington's
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: that talented to start with. And now they're on a
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback who is Marcus Mariota. Good luck with that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Cowboys 1-1, Commanders 0-2. Seahawks, even without Sam Donald, continue
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: to impress. They're 2-0 as they beat the Cardinals 31-7.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Drew Locke comes in, throws three touchdown passes. All to
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jigba, by the way, who had nine
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's so good. He's so good
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: at catching the football. He's so good. Gosh, the Seahawks
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: are so solid everywhere.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Niners and Dolphins. Niners win that game, obviously, 35-13. The
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Dolphins are really, really bad. I feel bad for guys
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: like A-Chain who are stuck in that offense with nothing
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: to work with.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: I've always wondered if the, the dolphins made the decision.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: We're going to be terrible this year, right? That's why
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: they cut everybody that had a big contract. They're like,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: we're going to stink and we're just going to eat
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: this season. Why would they keep the running back?
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Out of all positions. Like if you're like,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: he's young, he's, he's not, he's not an older player.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: No.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: And so maybe you're thinking trade bait later in the season.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: But if you're looking for a two-year rebuild and then
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: maybe you're back in the discussion, that's your hope.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: He's going to be 27 by the time he gets there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: You know, when I look at the Niners, 2-0, obviously
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: just rolling right now, I can't help but think how
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: long before something happens. Because that's a team that something
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: happens at some point.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Someone goes down at some point and it affects, it's
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: like a domino effect. I don't want it to happen,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: but you always have that feeling that something's going to happen.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Real quick on the flip side, the Niners are super good.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Niners 2-0, Dolphins 0-2, and then finally the Sunday night
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: game was Chiefs and Colts. Chiefs find a way to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: win in overtime, 33-30. I will say this, two plays
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: on both ends of the spectrum. Number one, can't believe
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: that they overturned the downs fumble that should have ended
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: the game for the Chiefs in overtime to start with.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: But then, the Chiefs get the benefit of one thing.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: On third down before the fourth and eight for the Colts,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: that they settled for a field goal to tie the
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: game on. Daniel Jones is running the ball out of bounds.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: He's got a foot out of bounds. And he gets
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: a healthy shot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Vic. I'm just going to say it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: If that's Mahomes, that's flagged.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: That's flagged.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Because he'll make a.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Here's where you're right. Mahomes will make a case about it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Yes, he will.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: He'll turn around and go.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Daniel Jones didn't do anything.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: He didn't do anything. But I'm not saying.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Anything about that's the reason the Chiefs won because I
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: think that they were the non-benefit of the overturned fumble thing.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Chiefs 2-0, Colts 0-2.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, next. Oh!
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Absolutely nothing to do with all that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: By.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: Anime, Star Wars, Star Trek.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: The... The toilet suddenly shattered and collapsed beneath them. Way...
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Are you still driving that Honda?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way... With Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Pay attention and stop looking at that squirrel.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: we feel like you should be aware of.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: I know. Let me start things out. Oh, by the way, Vic,
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I know that... Caleb Williams' list is questionable this week.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: May go against the Eagles. But I am so thankful
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: that his hammy has a grade one strain and he
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: went through all those histrionics. I'm thankful as a human
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: being and a sports fan. And why is that? Because
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: the amount of memes that continue to pour out about
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: it are spectacular memes. And they're hysterical. So if I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: feeling a little down or a little bummed or a
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: little whatever, all I've got to do is search for
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Caleb Williams and look at all the memes, and immediately
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I put a smile on my face. It doesn't stop.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: It's fantastic. I've got to be honest.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: It was a great weekend in football for the memes alone,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: whether it was Caleb Williams or the amount of Taylor
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Swift pointing at the ring saying, that's my husband things
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: that I saw.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Of somebody saying... Has your wife ever done that? No.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Would your wife ever, ever do that?
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Don't call me that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: When I mow straight lines in the yard, my wife...
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: That's my husband. All of those were great. How about
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: if you're on your deathbed? She's going to be going, yeah.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: That's my husband. How about this? I know that there's
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of things to fear. It's so hysterical, I've
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: got to... I got to send it to Nelly. The
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams screaming and shrieking.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, good.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things to fear this weekend when
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: the Rams come to town. There's a lot. And I
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: think there's one aspect of the Rams that we have
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: not touched on. When you have an absolute unit of
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: a kicker like this, the Rams kicker stands at 5'11,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: 243 pounds. He's an absolute gargantuan. To the likes I
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: haven't seen since like Sebastian Janikowski.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: Pat McAfee's not exactly small.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: No, this guy, dude, he's got a spare tire. Yeah,
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: that's it. This guy's got a spare tire that's held in.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: Is he wearing a rib protector? No, that's his belly.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: This guy's 250 pounds.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: When he kicked off last night, I went, whoa. He's huge.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's funny.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: An absolute unit. A kicker who wears number 92 and
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: is fat like that has got to have a nickname.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: It's Thicker Kicker. That's his nickname. Oh, is that his nickname? Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: That's been used already.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: How about Ice Chest? I don't know. Was that a
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Little Giants reference? That's Ice Box.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: How about Beer Truck?
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, but Spike points at Ice Box and says,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I'm coming for you, Ice Chest!
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, is that what he did?
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Okay, cool. How about Jelly Roll? I got one for you. Oh,
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: by the way.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: You guys know my fascination with Andrea Bocelli. Did you
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: see what he was wearing at his concert last night?
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: Broncos jersey?
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Obviously you did not.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: No.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: So it got a little chilly at Red Rocks.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: And Andrea Bocelli warms up by wearing a Denver Nuggets
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: jacket and a sweet one at that. An old school
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Nuggets jacket.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Sick.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: A Maxi the Miner jacket for all to see. For
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: all the world to behold.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Pretty awesome.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: It was one of the coolest jackets I've ever seen.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: In fact, I might have to go get one. but
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: the fact that he was wearing one on stage was awesome.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Why are you laughing?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: No, I'm laughing because I just saw a text that
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: said that fatty cost me my fantasy game.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: He didn't miss the only field goal he attempted.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Someone said several artists do that, Vic. Yeah, not Andrea Bocelli. Yeah,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: it's one thing if, Somebody else shows up at Red
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Rocks wearing a Nuggets jacket. This is Andrea Bocelli wearing
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: a Nuggets jacket. It's a different deal.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this is like almost royalty wearing a
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: Nuggets jacket. It's true.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, if Lil Wayne is wearing a
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Nuggets jersey, a little different. Or Morgan Wallen wearing a
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Nuggets jersey, a little different than Andrea Bocelli.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, by the way. So, Jack... Be like if
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Sinatra wore a Jokic jersey. Exactly. Pretty much.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Hey, Sinatra, I thought you were dead.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: So, Jack Strand is out. Cooper Rush is out. Michael
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Penix Jr. is back in. It'll be his first game
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: since tearing his ACL during a loss to the Panthers
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: in Week 11 last year. How long does he last?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: How long will he last? Will he last the full game?
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Will he last a couple weeks? What do you think
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: the story is? Because his knees are terrible. Terrible.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, is this an oh, by the way, or
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: are you just asking a question?
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, guess who's back? Back again, Michael Pence.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, Moshe, I'd be lying to you if I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: thought he was going to get through the entire year. Again,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: nothing against the guy, but there's a lot of evidence
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: that points to probably not going to happen. Although, I
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: just want to see what the Falcons look like with
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: him at quarterback to be like, Do they look any
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: better or are they truly this bad?
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: How about this, Vic?
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, in the world of the NBA,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Jalen Duren is reportedly turning down a $ 200 million extension
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: from the Pistons.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Why? Jalen Duren.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: That's crazy to me because he did not have a
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: good playoff run. He was held in check in the playoffs.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: He was a joke in the playoffs.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: A joke.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't get that either. That's a lot of money.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think these agents are influencing these guys
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: a little too much. I don't know why you wouldn't
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: take that money.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: That is sick money.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: This feels very Jonathan Kaminga to me. This feels like,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: who was the other one? Was it Dennis Schroeder who
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: this happened to? Was offered a ton of money.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Latrell Sprewell? He was the, forever Latrell Sprewell was the poster.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Remember when he said, I can't feed my family on what?
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: How many millions of dollars a year, Vic? And then
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: he never got another offer? Yeah.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Hang on, let me look this up.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Turn down contract. So Dennis Schroeder.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Was offered in 2021 a four-year $ 84 million contract. He
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: then signed a one-year $ 5. 9 million deal with the Boston Celtics.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't get it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, this happened over the weekend, and
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure to get this in. If
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: you were watching College Game Day, you know the signs.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: It's my favorite thing, just looking for the great signs.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: There was a dude holding a sign up. An Ole
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Miss student that had a sign saying, looking for a
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: ticket and a beer, and he gave his Venmo.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: Saw this one, yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: He gave his Venmo out there. The name of the
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: student was Jim167. He laid it out there. Last count,
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: he made over.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: $ 18, 000 on Venmo.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know how everybody doesn't do this.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: This happened last year, too, when a kid made like
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: 50 grand off this.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Now, first of all, really smart. Really smart.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: But secondly, what would compel you sitting on your couch
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: to do this?
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: The second part of your question was the better part.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: And I appreciate charity. I partake in a lot of
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: charity functions.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: It's not charity. Why?
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Why are you taking the bait? Why out there are you?
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: I blame you. Why are you giving him money?
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Why? And all this is going to lead to is
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: every single one of those signs is going to have
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: a Venmo on it now.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: I need someone who gave him money. Give me a why.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: What about me money?
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Me money? Money me? Money me. Me money. Please money me.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Me needing money a lot now. Oh, Nelly, I sent
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: you one more thing here. Check your DMs. I want
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: you to pull this up behind me. So I think
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: this is the most brutal way you can get hurt. So, look,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: playoffs are right around the corner in the MLB. Everybody's
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: battling for position, trying to make a playoff spot, get
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: the right seed, whatever, so on and so forth. Chicago
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Cubs are in. They're going to make the playoffs. They're
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: not going to win their division, but they're going to
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs. Alex Bregman, big part of that roster.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: This is the worst way I think you can get hurt.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: So this is a foul tip that catches him right
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: in the face on the on-deck circle. And what's brutal
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: is there's no reaction time because even though you're aware
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: that you are in play, you're never expecting a.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Shot like that. A check swing like that to come there, yeah.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: And so it hits him in the eye. You should
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: see his face. Oh, I mean, square in like the
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: orbital bone.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: The picture of him after the game is absolutely brutal.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Nuts.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: But you talk about, like, what else can there be?
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Is it like in, I know that Bednar took a
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: puck to the face last year.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Hockey's the only other sport that you can get that
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: kind of reaction.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: But the odds of that happening right there, that on-deck circle,
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: that's incredibly rare.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: The only thing that would have topped that, if you remember,
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: years ago we went to a Rapids game together.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: And Mosher turned to speak to somebody next to him.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: And there was a shot-taking shot. Taken from right outside
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: the box.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: A rocket.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: That whipped over the bar.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: A rocket.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: And nearly took Mosier's face off.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: I would have been dead.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing. And Mosier, I love you to death.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I wanted you to get hit so bad for one reason.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: So did I. For one reason. You would have been fine.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: It would have been on TV forever. I would have
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: been a meme on the internet forever. It would have
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: been on TV forever, number one. You would have been
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: that old lady with the basketball.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: That's correct. But here's the other thing.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I think you were double fisting at the time.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Those beers would have flown everywhere. It would have been
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: the greatest thing ever.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Moshe, what scared you more? That ball coming at you
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: or the lemon at your ear?
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: Vic, I'm not kidding you, man. That ticked my ear
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: at like 80, bro. That would have really hurt me, man.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: It would have really hurt me, and you know it.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Guys, I just want you to understand. I'm standing right
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: next to Moj. It was me and Marty, and we
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: were kind of bailing out of the way. This ball,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you had to feel the wind of it go by
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: your face.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Absolutely I did. Of course I did.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: And Moj, because he wasn't paying attention, was frozen in time.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: He just looked at us and went.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: I could feel the air pressure change, yes. And I
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: could hear it.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, every day at 845, Adam Schefter
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: in 20 minutes.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Stick around.
