- 0:18Speaker 1: All right, let's head out to the Ramos Law hotline.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Our good buddy, Ryan Harris, treating this show with the
- 0:27Speaker 1: respect it deserves.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Look how good he looks, man.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Come on, boys.
- 0:31Speaker 1: It's football season, boys.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Let's go. This is how I demand every guest from
- 0:36Speaker 2: now on. You let Schefter know. You let Legwald know.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Chad Brown. I want coat and tie if you're going
- 0:41Speaker 2: to be a guest on this show. Good job, Brian.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Here's good Notre Dame man, my friend.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Thank you, my brothers. Great to be with you fellas
- 0:48Speaker 3: on this football Monday.
- 0:50Speaker 1: So let me tell you something, Ryan. We'll get to
- 0:52Speaker 1: the Broncos, Chiefs in just a second. But NFL weekend,
- 0:56Speaker 1: one game left, had all the games yesterday. I got
- 0:58Speaker 1: to ask you, because I think this is.
- 1:01Speaker 2: A big deal.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I think this could lead to problems later in the
- 1:04Speaker 1: NFL season. The sack fumble that wasn't in the New
- 1:08Speaker 1: Orleans-Detroit game. What happens from here on out when a
- 1:12Speaker 1: quarterback gets hit and the ball comes out?
- 1:15Speaker 3: It's going to be rule to fumble. I think that's
- 1:17Speaker 3: all we can say, right? I mean, I just, I
- 1:20Speaker 3: don't understand sometimes how they can get it so wrong.
- 1:24Speaker 3: It feels like every year we're finding this rule that
- 1:26Speaker 3: we're like, wait a second, that's not how it's supposed
- 1:29Speaker 3: to go, right? So I just, I think we saw
- 1:32Speaker 3: that in hockey towards the end of the hockey season
- 1:34Speaker 3: last year, right? In the playoffs when there was the
- 1:36Speaker 3: penalty that had to get called back. So this is
- 1:38Speaker 3: something that they got to fix. But in the meantime,
- 1:41Speaker 3: what happens is the NFL will get together with the
- 1:43Speaker 3: referees and say, hey, look, We're going to call it
- 1:45Speaker 3: this way. We're not going to do this again. And
- 1:48Speaker 3: so there's an informal process as well that the NFL
- 1:51Speaker 3: will go through to make sure referees get it right.
- 1:54Speaker 2: What was it like for you getting ready for game
- 1:56Speaker 2: one of this season? Because I've been kind of moaning
- 1:59Speaker 2: about it, Ryan, for three months. I'm like, let's get
- 2:01Speaker 2: there already, right? Well, here we are getting ready for tonight.
- 2:04Speaker 2: But what was it like for you as a player
- 2:06Speaker 2: gearing up for that first week and knowing that you're
- 2:09Speaker 2: kicking off what is a long season?
- 2:12Speaker 3: Well, if you're a rookie, you're terrified, right? If you're
- 2:14Speaker 3: a rookie, all the things that were great, you made
- 2:16Speaker 3: the team, it's all good, but you're, oh God, like
- 2:19Speaker 3: the lights are on and this is the time. And
- 2:21Speaker 3: I got to listen to coach for 70 plays. If
- 2:23Speaker 3: I'm not getting in every player, I got to be ready.
- 2:25Speaker 3: And if you're a veteran, man, you're just so excited.
- 2:28Speaker 3: You're so excited to get past the noise, past training camp,
- 2:31Speaker 3: past the coaches who are freaking out with an extra
- 2:34Speaker 3: day of practice on installing another package that you're not
- 2:37Speaker 3: going to use. Like you're just ready to get to
- 2:40Speaker 3: the game. And I think Bo has said it as
- 2:45Speaker 3: clearly as you're going to hear from him. He's excited
- 2:48Speaker 3: to play. And I think part of the reason is
- 2:51Speaker 3: because of this roster. I mean, you guys were at
- 2:52Speaker 3: training camp. Jalen Waddell, what does he add to this offense? 1,000 yards? 1,500?
- 2:58Speaker 3: I mean, what does he add to R.J. Harvey's rushing
- 3:01Speaker 3: ability or J.K. Dobbins when he's drawing double coverage? So
- 3:05Speaker 3: I think this is the most excited I've seen Sean
- 3:07Speaker 3: Payton as a head coach and definitely Bo Nix as well.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Follow my logic on this one, Ryan, because I just
- 3:12Speaker 4: think playing at Arrowhead is just a wild.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Card type game.
- 3:15Speaker 4: I think the Broncos are the better team on paper,
- 3:18Speaker 4: in person, whatever the better team. But I wouldn't be
- 3:20Speaker 4: surprised if they lose a game like that, like tonight,
- 3:23Speaker 4: given the conditions, given week one of the season, the
- 3:26Speaker 4: return of Mahomes.
- 3:27Speaker 2: A Broncos loss.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Would not set panic in my system. And I'm just,
- 3:32Speaker 4: I guess, setting people up for that. If they lose,
- 3:34Speaker 4: calm down. It's one of those weird games. Openers are
- 3:37Speaker 4: always weird games.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Do you agree?
- 3:38Speaker 3: 100% agree. Look, you don't know what blitzes Spagnuolo is
- 3:43Speaker 3: going to dial up or the Chiefs are going to
- 3:45Speaker 3: dial up, but at the end of the day, you
- 3:47Speaker 3: want this if you're the Broncos. This is an opportunity
- 3:50Speaker 3: to show not only Kansas City, but their entire fan
- 3:53Speaker 3: base that they are going to be at number two
- 3:56Speaker 3: at best. in the AFC West. I mean, it just,
- 3:59Speaker 3: and to your point, though, Vic, I mean, let's celebrate this, right?
- 4:03Speaker 3: I mean, does it feel like the Rams season is
- 4:05Speaker 3: over because they lost the game?
- 4:07Speaker 2: No.
- 4:07Speaker 3: I mean, like, there's a few teams in the NFL
- 4:10Speaker 3: that you'd say, oh, well, you lost the game? Don't
- 4:12Speaker 3: worry about it. And the Broncos are one of them,
- 4:14Speaker 3: and it's because of the defense and the offense and
- 4:17Speaker 3: Bo Nix.
- 4:18Speaker 2: And rivalry games, right? The Rams lost a rivalry game.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Those things happen.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Yeah. Those things happen, and the thing that's benefiting the Broncos, though,
- 4:27Speaker 3: is that they're on the road here. Now, both teams
- 4:29Speaker 3: were on the road in Australia, didn't get to see
- 4:31Speaker 3: Ray Gunn. What the heck? But here, if you're the Broncos,
- 4:35Speaker 3: you've been with your guys for the last 25 hours.
- 4:38Speaker 3: You took a flight yesterday at 1230, and you guys
- 4:42Speaker 3: are sharing Scooby Snacks and whatever else you want on
- 4:45Speaker 3: the plane, and you get there, you get to watch
- 4:47Speaker 3: a full movie, maybe catch up on some of that
- 4:49Speaker 3: Jack Reacher you missed during training camp, and bam, it's
- 4:52Speaker 3: time for football. So these guys have had three whole
- 4:54Speaker 3: meals together. They can't wait to get after the Chiefs.
- 4:58Speaker 3: And it's one of the few times in my career
- 5:00Speaker 3: where you can just go, they have that term, go
- 5:03Speaker 3: see red, hit red. You can see red, hit red
- 5:05Speaker 3: at about 7.30 tonight.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Ryan Harris joins us. Thanks to Carrier Colorado. Colorado weather

- 5:18Speaker 5: Turn to the experts.
- 5:19Speaker 1: So Ryan, on that subject, here's one thing I can't shake.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Last year, I think a lot of people point to
- 5:26Speaker 1: the Chiefs and they say, well, they fell apart. Mahomes
- 5:28Speaker 1: got hurt. They weren't a playoff team with Mahomes through
- 5:31Speaker 1: 14 games. Is that a sign that maybe the Chiefs
- 5:34Speaker 1: are falling back to earth and maybe more middle of
- 5:37Speaker 1: the road?
- 5:38Speaker 5: Or do you think it's a bounce back year?
- 5:40Speaker 3: It's a bounce back year. You're talking about a guy
- 5:43Speaker 3: in Patrick Mahomes who has never had a January offense.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I mean, we've all been married on this show. How
- 5:49Speaker 3: hard is it planning your wedding? You want to give
- 5:51Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey some credit for planning a thousand-person wedding at
- 5:55Speaker 3: Madison Square? It's not happening again, right? I mean, they somehow,
- 5:59Speaker 3: I think, found more distractions last year, the Chiefs, than
- 6:03Speaker 3: they had ever previously found. And it kind of coalesced
- 6:06Speaker 3: in addition to, can we keep a receiver from the
- 6:09Speaker 3: Chiefs out of the court system? I mean, what is
- 6:12Speaker 3: going on? So they've had successive things that they can
- 6:16Speaker 3: control go wrong. distractions have been paramount. Everybody on the
- 6:20Speaker 3: team wanted to go and be at Taylor Swift's wedding,
- 6:23Speaker 3: and now it's all gone. Some people didn't go. Some
- 6:25Speaker 3: people did go. Some people are still mad. Doesn't matter.
- 6:27Speaker 3: It's time for football. But what I know from playing
- 6:29Speaker 3: with Andy Reid is that he's going to get his
- 6:32Speaker 3: guys a game plan that he thinks is going to
- 6:34Speaker 3: be successful. He's one of the best coaches that I
- 6:36Speaker 3: played with that is willing to change that game plan.
- 6:39Speaker 3: But you better get ready for some smash-mouth football because
- 6:42Speaker 3: one thing Andy Reid believes is running the football in
- 6:44Speaker 3: divisional games, and that is a winning recipe.
- 6:46Speaker 2: See, Ryan, that's where I have a hard time kind
- 6:48Speaker 2: of disseminating what the Chiefs really are going to be
- 6:51Speaker 2: or what I think they're going to be. Because I
- 6:52Speaker 2: know in hockey, teams that play into May or June,
- 6:55Speaker 2: you know, repeatedly, right, eventually the body and the mind
- 6:59Speaker 2: just wears down and you need a decompression year where
- 7:02Speaker 2: everything sucks and you kind of write it off and
- 7:05Speaker 2: then you get that hunger and you want everything back.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Is it the same way in football? I tried to
- 7:08Speaker 2: explain to these guys that the Chiefs have played a
- 7:10Speaker 2: lot of important football. Maybe they just needed a year off.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I think there's some truth to that. And what it
- 7:16Speaker 3: looks like in the NFL is, oh man, you know,
- 7:19Speaker 3: I'm tired of these ticket requests. I'm tired of it. Man,
- 7:21Speaker 3: you better be low. You better be happy. You're getting
- 7:23Speaker 3: some ticket requests in January. You know, the Browns haven't
- 7:26Speaker 3: had ticket requests in January for about 10 years. Right.
- 7:30Speaker 3: So it could be worse. And, and, and there is
- 7:33Speaker 3: something to that guys. Let's not pretend that just because
- 7:36Speaker 3: people are paid as professional athletes, that they have more ethics, morals,
- 7:39Speaker 3: and virtues than the rest of us. I mean, When
- 7:42Speaker 3: you are having success, discipline is the hardest thing. We
- 7:44Speaker 3: all know that. And I think you got that piece
- 7:47Speaker 3: of that in Kansas City, especially in a smaller town
- 7:50Speaker 3: compared to the rest of the NFL. I mean, can
- 7:53Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey go to the grocery store? I mean, where
- 7:55Speaker 3: do you go hang out with the team? I mean,
- 7:57Speaker 3: he had to shut down a restaurant to take out
- 7:59Speaker 3: his girlfriend. So I think there's just a lot that
- 8:02Speaker 3: can happen in success. A lot of guys can get distracted.
- 8:06Speaker 3: And I think that happened to the Chiefs last year.
- 8:08Speaker 4: All right, Ryan, the retention rate for the Broncos was
- 8:12Speaker 4: on a new level, basically the same team they had
- 8:15Speaker 4: last year outside of Waddle.
- 8:17Speaker 2: The Chiefs have a lot of positions they've had to fill.
- 8:19Speaker 2: They're secondary.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Hell, their left tackle, as a guy who played that position,
- 8:24Speaker 4: Ryan Harris, you played the tackle spot. How tough is
- 8:27Speaker 4: it for this guy who's never played in an NFL
- 8:31Speaker 4: game to suddenly take on.
- 8:33Speaker 2: The likes of the Broncos week one?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Well, he's lying to himself right now, guys. You know,
- 8:38Speaker 3: he woke up this morning. He got his breakfast. He
- 8:40Speaker 3: was like, Nick Benito ain't that bad. He's not that bad.
- 8:45Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Nick Benito, I think, has been
- 8:47Speaker 3: the quietest defensive player here in the offseason. He's going
- 8:50Speaker 3: to eat this young man's lunch. Sounds like the former
- 8:53Speaker 3: CU buff is going to be playing left tackle tonight, too.
- 8:56Speaker 3: So that's even a bigger issue. And so if you're
- 8:59Speaker 3: Nick Benito, you don't want to win too early. You
- 9:01Speaker 3: don't want to beat this guy in the first quarter.
- 9:03Speaker 3: You want the coaches to think he's doing a really
- 9:05Speaker 3: good job. So then the third and fourth quarter, you
- 9:07Speaker 3: come in and you lay down the hammer. And it's
- 9:10Speaker 3: not just going to be him. If I'm Vance Joseph,
- 9:13Speaker 3: he's going to bring out Zach Allen to that tackle
- 9:17Speaker 3: just to scare him. Even if he's going to the B-gap,
- 9:19Speaker 3: he's going to say, hey, I want you to line
- 9:20Speaker 3: up in that tackle. I want you to ask Nick Bonito, hey,
- 9:23Speaker 3: we're double teaming this guy right here. Point at him.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Make him scared. Make him shake in his boots. And then, oh,
- 9:28Speaker 3: by the way, you're going inside. So there's going to
- 9:30Speaker 3: be a lot of chicanery. That's the fun of the NFL.
- 9:33Speaker 3: That's the stuff that you can't make up. And as
- 9:36Speaker 3: Vic mentioned earlier, this is where you have the experience
- 9:39Speaker 3: of this Broncos defense working together, working together in Kansas
- 9:44Speaker 3: City and winning in Kansas City.
- 9:46Speaker 2: You've seen a lot of defensive linemen in your career.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Let's say the rookie's out there and they got to
- 9:52Speaker 2: run it back to help out all the time, right?
- 9:54Speaker 2: They got to just keep throwing help with the kid.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Maybe design plays away from the kid, like get away
- 9:59Speaker 2: from the blind side, that sort of thing. How can
- 10:01Speaker 2: the Broncos then exploit that, especially with a guy like
- 10:03Speaker 2: Allen in the middle? Because if you let him one-on-one,
- 10:06Speaker 2: he's going to blow up that offensive line interior.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Yeah, you get him feeling early and often that they
- 10:14Speaker 3: can't get away from the problem and what that means
- 10:18Speaker 3: is okay if the left tackle is all alone I'm
- 10:20Speaker 3: going to blitz from the right side they might have
- 10:22Speaker 3: a blitz key opposite of this left tackle tonight depending
- 10:25Speaker 3: on how it looks okay we're going to send the
- 10:27Speaker 3: Mike linebacker backside we're going to send the wheel backside
- 10:30Speaker 3: we're going to send Jaquan McMillan on the backside for
- 10:33Speaker 3: a blitz like he got last year right so you
- 10:35Speaker 3: have multiple ways to kind of force a bottleneck when
- 10:39Speaker 3: a team knows that they have a known weakness. Now,
- 10:44Speaker 3: you might benefit, too. The Chiefs might not think they
- 10:46Speaker 3: have a weakness. The Chiefs might think it's great to
- 10:48Speaker 3: put a guard at tackle. Heck, they made it all
- 10:50Speaker 3: the way to the Super Bowl a couple years with
- 10:52Speaker 3: Tooney at tackle, right? But Nick Benito's a different animal.
- 10:55Speaker 3: I think you're going to see him have his best year.
- 10:58Speaker 3: He looks bigger, faster, stronger, and he already got paid.
- 11:01Speaker 3: So I really like linemen who work, defensive linemen who
- 11:05Speaker 3: work hard after getting that bag.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Ryan Harris with us, and he will join us every
- 11:08Speaker 1: single week during the football season. I do want to
- 11:10Speaker 1: ask you something about college football, Ryan, because when you played,
- 11:13Speaker 1: if you suffered a loss early in the season in
- 11:15Speaker 1: the BCS era, maybe that's the end of your national
- 11:18Speaker 1: championship run.
- 11:19Speaker 5: You don't know.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Now it's different. You just got to get in the playoff.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Do you think that loss, albeit a bad way to
- 11:26Speaker 1: lose by giving up that lead, Ohio State and Texas,
- 11:29Speaker 1: do you think it hurts Ohio State or could it
- 11:31Speaker 1: possibly help?
- 11:33Speaker 3: It's going to help them. Look, they've got Jeremiah. What's
- 11:36Speaker 3: his last name? I'm sorry. I always get it mixed
- 11:39Speaker 3: up with love. But Jeremiah Smith is just the number
- 11:42Speaker 3: one receiver in college football.
- 11:44Speaker 5: He's incredible.
- 11:45Speaker 3: If they lost the game, a coach needs to be
- 11:48Speaker 3: fired because you have the antidote. You have the super play.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Whatever it is, you just throw it to Jeremiah Smith.
- 11:56Speaker 3: So they got to get their act together. And I
- 11:57Speaker 3: think this happens with Ohio State. Remember the year they
- 12:00Speaker 3: won the national championship, they had a loss. So You know,
- 12:03Speaker 3: you can't get over it. Here's the question in college football, though, guys.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Will the players have their head coach in the playoffs?
- 12:09Speaker 3: That's what we need to start wondering. Is there going
- 12:12Speaker 3: to be another coach that leaves in the semifinals to
- 12:15Speaker 3: go get more money? Is there going to be another
- 12:17Speaker 3: coach that does that this year? Come on, man. Let's
- 12:20Speaker 3: make sure that we're keeping all college conversations focused on
- 12:23Speaker 3: coaches where it should be.
- 12:25Speaker 2: You've always been pro coach. I'm sorry.
- 12:28Speaker 4: Pro player and anti-coach when it comes to leaving. And
- 12:31Speaker 4: you make a great case because coaches are allowed to
- 12:34Speaker 4: leave and there's no low back like Lane Kiffin did it.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin did it in the middle of a run.
- 12:39Speaker 4: But would you acknowledge this as much, Ryan? There's got
- 12:42Speaker 4: to be a system in place for players to at
- 12:45Speaker 4: least play more than a year at a school before
- 12:48Speaker 4: taking off again. Doesn't there have to be something there
- 12:52Speaker 4: in college football?
- 12:53Speaker 3: If there is for the coaches, there is. If there
- 12:55Speaker 3: is for coaches, let's do it. But right now, not
- 12:58Speaker 3: only do I believe in the opportunity of players, Vic,
- 13:01Speaker 3: I'm also a capitalist at heart. And let me tell
- 13:03Speaker 3: you something we don't do. We don't restrict somebody's earnings.
- 13:07Speaker 3: And any single restriction you're going to place on players
- 13:10Speaker 3: without including players in the conversation, you know, like bringing
- 13:13Speaker 3: up 100 coaches to Congress but not a single player,
- 13:17Speaker 3: you've got to be careful about what you're missing. And
- 13:19Speaker 3: whether or not somebody needs to stay there for a year,
- 13:21Speaker 3: I agree with you, but I also am not going
- 13:24Speaker 3: to limit somebody's opportunity. That's something where coaches lie so
- 13:29Speaker 3: much that fans don't see. And let's just take CU
- 13:32Speaker 3: for an example. Would you have blamed any player for
- 13:34Speaker 3: leaving at CU after last year? I don't know, especially
- 13:37Speaker 3: if Alabama's knocking on the door or Notre Dame.
- 13:41Speaker 2: That's what Seton did. He took off and he doubled
- 13:43Speaker 2: his money.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we want to limit earnings. So any
- 13:48Speaker 3: limit we're going to place on players, you have to
- 13:51Speaker 3: place it on coaches as well. And until we're ready
- 13:53Speaker 3: to do both, don't do anything.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Ryan, you do color commentary for the Irish, correct?
- 13:58Speaker 1: Correct.
- 13:59Speaker 2: No, not anymore. Oh, not anymore. Not anymore.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Just Westwood won. Westwood won. My first game will be
- 14:05Speaker 3: at Dallas on October 8th. And, boys, I'm going to
- 14:08Speaker 3: Mexico City.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Can you believe they gave me a passport? Okay. So
- 14:14Speaker 1: I bring this up for one reason, is that you're
- 14:17Speaker 1: well-versed in the commentary game, is all I'm saying. Correct.
- 14:20Speaker 1: And if you called a game with Vic Lombardi, how
- 14:23Speaker 1: would you respond if this happened?
- 14:24Speaker 2: Floor is going to throw. Flora, this time it's picked off.
- 14:29Speaker 2: One hand job.
- 14:30Speaker 1: What a pick.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Get the towel because it's finished.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Incredible effort. What do you think, Ryan?
- 14:39Speaker 3: Get the towel because it's finished. Are we on FX here?
- 14:45Speaker 4: Ryan, simple minds don't understand how it works.
- 14:49Speaker 2: When you're in the yard, is it a one-man job
- 14:51Speaker 2: or a two-man job? It's a one-man job. That happened
- 14:54Speaker 2: to be a one-hand job. So what's the difference?
- 14:57Speaker 1: A one-handed interception, by the way, is what he's talking about.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we call a wide stance, right? When
- 15:03Speaker 3: you got a position that is just untenable, but you
- 15:06Speaker 3: got two legs anyways. That's a wide stance there, Vic.
- 15:09Speaker 3: But I'm here for you. I'll be in the booth
- 15:10Speaker 3: for you.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Ryan, you're the best, buddy.
- 15:12Speaker 5: We'll talk to you every single week.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Appreciate you.
- 15:14Speaker 3: See you, buddy.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Good to see you, brother.
- 15:15Speaker 5: There you go. Ryan Harris is going to join us
- 15:17Speaker 5: every single week during football season.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Don't appreciate you guys weaponizing me. My hard work on
- 15:23Speaker 2: Friday night high school football. I see.
- 15:25Speaker 4: To the point where you're trying to entertain the masses
- 15:28Speaker 4: for my foibles. It's not appreciated.
- 15:33Speaker 2: This is why my margin of error is so small
- 15:37Speaker 2: when I'm doing hockey. One hand job. It's because I
- 15:41Speaker 2: know it's going to end up on this show. And
- 15:45Speaker 2: I know that you are going to be merciless about it.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Hang on.
- 15:48Speaker 1: As we go to break.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Straw pool.
- 15:54Speaker 1: What's better? Vic's call, one hand job, or.
- 16:00Speaker 2: A one hand job. You gotta pause a little bit.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Or our buddy Drew Goodman's second Beck shot that he had.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Which one is better? Text in 303-504-0925. Yeah, side by side.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Side by side.
- 16:15Speaker 2: One hand job. Second dick shot. Which one is better?
- 16:25Speaker 1: One hand, thank you, ma'am. Oh, hey, whoa. Back after this.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Love having Ryan Harrison. One hand job.
- 16:40Speaker 5: One Headlight's a great song, by the way. It's a
- 16:41Speaker 5: great song.
- 16:42Speaker 1: It is.
- 16:42Speaker 2: You know, as soon as I said it, I, like, froze.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Did you look at Sanford?
- 16:51Speaker 4: No, I didn't even look at him. I couldn't because
- 16:53Speaker 4: I'd start laughing. I just froze.
- 16:57Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute. This is a high
- 17:00Speaker 2: school football game. Vic, we've all said something like that,
- 17:04Speaker 2: that you're like, oh, goodness gracious.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Splendid Serbian hooker shot.
- 17:10Speaker 2: But you know what I meant, at least, right?
- 17:13Speaker 5: Yeah, a one-handed interception is what you meant.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Which would have been just as easy to say. But
- 17:19Speaker 2: it's not as colorful. The point is to color up
- 17:23Speaker 2: the game a little bit.
- 17:25Speaker 5: Can I just tell you something real quick?
- 17:26Speaker 1: A splendid Serbian hooker shot.
- 17:28Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you something right now.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Oh, good.
- 17:32Speaker 1: It's one of the proudest moments I think I've had
- 17:35Speaker 1: on this show.
- 17:35Speaker 5: We've been here for a while.
- 17:38Speaker 1: The fact that I asked and almost immediately 100 people
- 17:43Speaker 1: texted in the words H.J.
- 17:45Speaker 5: To our text line is one of.
- 17:48Speaker 1: I don't even– I didn't think it would be something
- 17:50Speaker 1: I'd ever have to do. But look at the text line.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Bunch of HJs on there.
- 17:56Speaker 2: One hand job.
- 17:57Speaker 4: What this proves to me once again, here's what this
- 18:00Speaker 4: proves to me, and this is the last I'll bring
- 18:02Speaker 4: it up, is how pure a thought process I have,
- 18:07Speaker 4: how pure I am as an eight-year altar boy, head
- 18:10Speaker 4: altar boy one year.
- 18:12Speaker 2: I just don't think that way.
- 18:14Speaker 4: And my mind is just driven by the game and
- 18:17Speaker 4: what happens out there. Those of you who think that way,
- 18:20Speaker 4: that's your mind. So I'm glad that I live in purity.
- 18:24Speaker 2: And I appreciate that. One hand, thank you, ma'am.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Were you trying to save it?
- 18:32Speaker 2: You were saving it with that?
- 18:33Speaker 1: You were racing in your brain to find another one-hand
- 18:36Speaker 1: thing to try and negate what you said before.
- 18:38Speaker 2: That's what you tried to save it with? I tried. Oh,
- 18:43Speaker 2: my God.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Anyway, we're going to start doing this on Tuesdays, but
- 18:49Speaker 1: the Broncos play tonight. So in the meantime, Nelly, let's
- 18:54Speaker 1: take a look around the weekend that was in the NFL.
- 18:57Speaker 1: We start with the early games. Bucs and Bengals. So
- 19:03Speaker 1: it was a really odd game for the Bucs. They
- 19:07Speaker 1: played actually okay. I thought they played pretty decent football.
- 19:11Speaker 2: But kept turning the ball over.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Kept turning... Baker Mayfield had three fumbles lost in that game.
- 19:18Speaker 5: And if not for that.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Well, he got pummeled. He did.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Pummeled. But Cincinnati, they had these grand dreams of a
- 19:26Speaker 1: healthy Joe Burrow and how much better they would be.
- 19:28Speaker 5: They win 33-27. They start the year 1-0.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Call my kid. Doesn't answer. I'm like, what's going on?
- 19:35Speaker 1: I get a call back. I don't know.
- 19:41Speaker 4: What's happening I don't know what you're saying I don't
- 19:43Speaker 4: know what that means can you obviously provide some context
- 19:47Speaker 4: to those who have no idea what the hell you're
- 19:48Speaker 4: talking about I got a taste of the atmosphere because
- 19:50Speaker 4: my kid was at the game.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That's all. People were excited about Joe Burrow. Preview that
- 19:54Speaker 2: next time before you go into your voice because we
- 19:57Speaker 2: have no idea.
- 19:57Speaker 1: What you're referring to.
- 19:58Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty apparent.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Lions and Saints. Lions were leading this game 21 to nothing.
- 20:03Speaker 1: It felt like it was over. And then the Saints
- 20:05Speaker 1: caught fire. Tyler Shuck caught fire. But the big story
- 20:09Speaker 1: from this game was this. Oh, golf hit, lost the football.
- 20:14Speaker 1: A race for it.
- 20:15Speaker 2: It's still loose. Saints recover. Touchdown, Jonas Sanker.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Turns out that didn't happen because the intention was to
- 20:22Speaker 1: throw the ball forward, and now that's an incomplete pass.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Vic, you've got to get on the Kane family Sunday
- 20:29Speaker 2: football text. I'm sure it was entertaining yesterday. Troy Kane,
- 20:34Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man. They're going to drive him to
- 20:37Speaker 2: an early grave, Brett.
- 20:38Speaker 5: I don't know how they haven't killed him already.
- 20:39Speaker 2: I really don't. Because he's... Your defense is not good, Brett.
- 20:42Speaker 2: The secondary sucks.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Oh, that secondary is terrible.
- 20:45Speaker 1: It's terrible.
- 20:45Speaker 2: That's a terrible defense.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
- 20:46Speaker 1: It's actually decent pass rush, horrible secondary. Horrible secondary. And
- 20:51Speaker 1: that goes all the way to the last second. The
- 20:52Speaker 1: Saints score to go down one in overtime. That was
- 20:56Speaker 1: the response drive. They actually went for it.
- 20:59Speaker 5: As they should.
- 20:59Speaker 1: I was going to ask you guys. Are you going
- 21:02Speaker 1: for two every time in that scenario?
- 21:04Speaker 3: Right?
- 21:05Speaker 2: I am. Yeah, on the road. I think so. On
- 21:07Speaker 2: the road, you're trying to sneak out with a dub
- 21:09Speaker 2: against Goffin. Just a bad play. I mean, you could
- 21:11Speaker 2: tell Detroit snuffed it out from the beginning. They saw
- 21:14Speaker 2: the tape. They saw it coming. Didn't work.
- 21:16Speaker 5: Detroit survives their 1-0, Saints 0-1.
- 21:19Speaker 1: The Jets start their season on the road at Tennessee,
- 21:22Speaker 1: and they get the 23-10 win over the Titans. Now,
- 21:26Speaker 1: the Titans might be terrible, but I told you guys,
- 21:28Speaker 1: I think that the Jets are kind of intriguing. Not
- 21:30Speaker 1: that they'll be good. I think they can sneak up
- 21:33Speaker 1: on some teams this year. Brees Hall's a good running back.
- 21:36Speaker 1: You have Garrett Wilson out healthy again at wide receiver.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Omar Cooper, another one. And you see Kenyon Sadiq?
- 21:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 21:43Speaker 1: What was he, 13th overall pick out of Oregon? Yes.
- 21:47Speaker 1: First touchdown of the year, they run the old Noah Fant.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It was a tight end reverse and took it in
- 21:52Speaker 1: the end zone because he runs a 4-3-40.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not intrigued by the Jets at all. And
- 21:58Speaker 2: Tennessee stinks, even with a new head coach.
- 22:00Speaker 6: True.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Next game, Ravens-Colts. Not surprised that the Ravens win, but
- 22:06Speaker 1: I got to tell you guys, I thought that maybe
- 22:08Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was losing a step, some injuries, stuff like that.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Eh!
- 22:13Speaker 1: That offense was ridiculous in the first half.
- 22:15Speaker 2: On Friday, who did I pick as my darling?
- 22:19Speaker 1: The Ravens?
- 22:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Dude, I'm telling you, I just think the old
- 22:26Speaker 2: Harbaugh thing got stale. I think that franchise is rejuvenated.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Certainly Lamar Jackson looks rejuvenated. Lamar looks unstoppable. Lamar looks unstoppable.
- 22:35Speaker 2: He looks like superhuman. Did you see that? He was sacked.
- 22:38Speaker 2: They had him. They cut him in half.
- 22:41Speaker 4: And he got out of it and gained 17 like
- 22:43Speaker 4: it was nothing.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Vic, dig this. They were talking about going five wide,
- 22:47Speaker 2: spread offense, all this kind of thing, get back to
- 22:49Speaker 2: what he did at Louisville.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Okay, fine.
- 22:51Speaker 2: So what does that leave for Derrick Henry? Derrick Henry
- 22:55Speaker 2: was awesome yesterday. Yeah, still.
- 22:58Speaker 1: He's still this.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Blah!
- 23:01Speaker 3: Blah!
- 23:01Speaker 2: I mean, he's just running fools, trucking fools.
- 23:04Speaker 5: Here's a big question, though.
- 23:05Speaker 1: The Colts were really good to start the year last
- 23:07Speaker 1: year with Daniel Jones until he got hurt.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Now what?
- 23:11Speaker 5: He didn't look great.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Touchdown, a pick about 160 yards.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Their defense looked worse, though. Remember their defense at the
- 23:18Speaker 4: beginning of last season? That was a very, very good D,
- 23:21Speaker 4: and they got just torn apart.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Ravens 1-0, Colts 0-1. Steelers and Falcons. God, was that
- 23:28Speaker 1: a miserable game. I said this before the season started.
- 23:32Speaker 1: I have no use for the Steelers. There's no point
- 23:35Speaker 1: to them. They'll win a few games. They're inconsequential. Aaron
- 23:39Speaker 1: Rodgers looked old yesterday. And they barely snuck out a
- 23:43Speaker 1: win against the Falcons. We're starting their third string quarterback.
- 23:46Speaker 4: The Steelers are that old electric shaver that sometimes gets
- 23:50Speaker 4: the job done, but starts pulling on your hairs and
- 23:53Speaker 4: you know, you got to get rid of it. It's
- 23:54Speaker 4: not going anywhere. That's exactly what they are. It's a
- 23:57Speaker 4: great description, Vic.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Very, very good.
- 23:59Speaker 1: Steelers want to know Falcons 0-1. Is Ben Johnson the
- 24:03Speaker 1: best play caller in the history of the league?
- 24:05Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, but the Chicago Bears
- 24:08Speaker 4: right now, After years, decades of just the worst offensive
- 24:13Speaker 4: collection you've ever seen, that is.
- 24:15Speaker 2: The most entertaining team in football.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Here's the thing, though.
- 24:18Speaker 1: They win 59-37. They might score a billion points this year,
- 24:21Speaker 1: but they might give up 900 million.
- 24:24Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on with that defense.
- 24:27Speaker 1: I looked, they were up 21, and then I blinked,
- 24:29Speaker 1: and the game was tied, and then I blinked again,
- 24:31Speaker 1: and they were up 20 again. It was so weird.
- 24:33Speaker 2: It was insane, because I'm thinking to myself, man, Bryce Young,
- 24:36Speaker 2: he's in there mixing it up toe-to-toe with Caleb and company,
- 24:40Speaker 2: and he was for a long time. But do you
- 24:42Speaker 2: realize that they had not one, but two 100-yard rushers yesterday?
- 24:46Speaker 1: Two! They had six rushing touchdowns. It's not like Caleb
- 24:50Speaker 1: Williams threw for 500 yards. He still played great.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Vic, DeAndre Swift had 18 carries for a buck 24,
- 24:55Speaker 2: and McGonigal... A McGonaghy, excuse me.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Menon guy.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Menon guy. I can't say that guy's name.
- 25:01Speaker 1: McConnickle.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I got a guy. They got me.
- 25:03Speaker 1: He had 100.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Yards exactly on 10 carries, 10 yards rushing per. Did
- 25:07Speaker 2: you see that pass that Caleb Williams threw to the
- 25:10Speaker 2: left side? Menon, McGonaghy. That full commit touchdown catch?
- 25:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Where he put it only where commit could catch it? Yep.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Now you got me messed up on names. You messed
- 25:21Speaker 2: up a name. Now I'm trying to figure out. Well,
- 25:22Speaker 2: Cole commits. Of course it is. Cole commits an easy
- 25:25Speaker 2: one to say.
- 25:25Speaker 1: All right. So the bears want to know the Panthers
- 25:27Speaker 1: own one. All right, boys, the season's starting. We've committed.
- 25:32Speaker 1: We're sticking with our guy.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Watson under pressure shift. He throws to his left. Intercepted
- 25:37Speaker 2: at the 20 yard line, right out.
- 25:39Speaker 4: Of the gates.
- 25:41Speaker 6: And the Jaguars will get the football.
- 25:44Speaker 5: The Browns are an embarrassment. Okay, an absolute embarrassment. Here's
- 25:46Speaker 5: what happened.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Had red zone on. They cut to the Browns game.
- 25:50Speaker 1: It's Deshaun Watson throwing a pick immediately. They cut back
- 25:53Speaker 1: to the game. Jags score. They cut back to the Browns.
- 25:56Speaker 1: It's Deshaun Watson fumbling. Cut back to the game. Jags score.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Cut back to the Browns. Almost throws his second pick
- 26:01Speaker 1: of the first quarter. And I'm sitting there. I'm like,
- 26:03Speaker 1: just take him out.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Just be like, sorry.
- 26:06Speaker 1: We already know. We messed up.
- 26:07Speaker 2: They won't do it.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Hey, man. Trevor Lawrence had a game. You realize he
- 26:12Speaker 2: found nine different receivers yesterday? He threw four touchdown passes.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Can I ask another question about that? Because the Jags
- 26:19Speaker 1: offense is, you know, it's a machine. What are they
- 26:23Speaker 1: going to do with Travis Hunter here? They gave him
- 26:25Speaker 1: a run. They gave him a catch. And he didn't
- 26:27Speaker 1: really play. He was the second overall pick.
- 26:31Speaker 2: He plays defense.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I know, but it's still, it's just like.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but he plays defense. I mean, what are you
- 26:36Speaker 2: talking about?
- 26:36Speaker 1: Wasn't he drafted number two to kind of do both?
- 26:39Speaker 1: I know they said they're taking him away a little
- 26:40Speaker 1: bit from the offensive side. That's too much talent.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Use the kid.
- 26:44Speaker 1: What are we doing here?
- 26:45Speaker 4: I wouldn't complain after winning 34-10, but that game is
- 26:48Speaker 4: significant for one of the reasons. It allows Brett and I,
- 26:51Speaker 4: you and I win the survivor pool.
- 26:53Speaker 1: That's right.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Mosier's out. Week one, Mosier's out of the Survivor pool. Hilarious.
- 26:59Speaker 1: We'll get to your game in a second. Wait, who
- 27:00Speaker 1: was your pick, Nelly? Didn't you pick, like, the Colts?
- 27:04Speaker 6: I picked the Robert Sala Titans in that bald, shiny head.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Oh, so you're both out.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Oh, you're out. You're both out. That's correct. Week one,
- 27:12Speaker 2: and half of our guys are out of Survivor.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Hang on.
- 27:15Speaker 5: We'll get to the game. You picked the Chargers, right?
- 27:18Speaker 2: Of course he did. Okay. All right.
- 27:19Speaker 1: So hang on. We'll get to that in a second.
- 27:20Speaker 2: You know damn well I did. You don't have to
- 27:23Speaker 2: play this game. You know damn well I did. The
- 27:25Speaker 2: biggest Chargers apologist we've ever met.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Bills and Texans. First of all.
- 27:29Speaker 2: What a game.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Great game.
- 27:31Speaker 5: Second of all.
- 27:33Speaker 2: C.J.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Stroud, the turnover problems continue. Two fumbles in that game
- 27:37Speaker 1: prove costly. And the Bills win 36-31. A couple of
- 27:41Speaker 1: interesting notes in this one. The addition of D.J. Moore
- 27:44Speaker 1: to the Bills' offense seems pretty good. 100-yard day.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Pretty good.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Really good.
- 27:49Speaker 5: They utilize the hell out of their tight end.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Oh, Dalton Kincaid. A couple of catches he made were incredible.
- 27:54Speaker 4: Buffalo will find another way to lose in the playoffs.
- 27:58Speaker 4: When I see Buffalo, that's all I see.
- 27:59Speaker 5: Here's what I'm going to say, though. There's questions surrounding C.J. Stroud.
- 28:04Speaker 1: They went out this offseason, they traded for David Montgomery.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Montgomery looked great. Three touchdowns in that first game for them.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I think he adds something to that offense that could
- 28:11Speaker 1: get a little bit stale.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Houston's a good football team. Their defense is really good.
- 28:15Speaker 2: The fact that Allen was able to carve them up
- 28:17Speaker 2: and do what they did... They found something they could exploit,
- 28:21Speaker 2: and that was Dalton Kincaid. They used him effectively.
- 28:24Speaker 1: So, Bills 1-0, Texans 0-1. The worst game of the week,
- 28:28Speaker 1: at least one of them, Raiders and Dolphins. The Dolphins
- 28:32Speaker 1: are every bit as bad as I think we thought
- 28:34Speaker 1: they'd be. Maybe worse.
- 28:36Speaker 5: They are so.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Every.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Well, it's one week.
- 28:42Speaker 1: The Raiders' defense was so not scared of Malik Willis
- 28:46Speaker 1: and just being like, we're stopping A-chain. That's all they
- 28:48Speaker 1: worried about, and that's all it took. They go out
- 28:50Speaker 1: and they win the game despite having turnovers galore, but
- 28:53Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins finishes with three touchdowns. Still feels a lot
- 28:57Speaker 1: to me like Mendoza halfway through the year is going
- 28:59Speaker 1: to take over. But they start the year 1-0. The
- 29:01Speaker 1: Dolphins are 0-1. Here's the interesting game, and I think
- 29:06Speaker 1: this is fascinating. Packers-Vikings. Vikings, as they're trying to do
- 29:11Speaker 1: this reclamation project of Kyler Murray, and it feels like
- 29:13Speaker 1: a lot of their season is riding on, can you
- 29:15Speaker 1: turn him into a Darnold-type quarterback?
- 29:17Speaker 5: Because they are talented.
- 29:19Speaker 1: I thought he broke his neck.
- 29:21Speaker 2: I thought so, too. Judging from the reaction, I was like,
- 29:25Speaker 2: oh my God, is he Is he died.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Dick, it was really, really scary. I mean, I think
- 29:30Speaker 2: he got incredibly lucky because that left shoulder took like
- 29:34Speaker 2: half the brunt of it.
- 29:36Speaker 1: They're down 22 to 10. Carson Wentz comes in. and
- 29:40Speaker 1: they score 29 unanswered points to beat the Packers by 17,
- 29:45Speaker 1: which leads to a question. What's the Packers here?
- 29:50Speaker 2: What are the Packers? I totally agree with you. It's
- 29:52Speaker 2: like enough of the hype of the Packers.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Like Jordan Love, again, I know he did better at
- 29:58Speaker 1: not turning the ball over last year, but turned the
- 30:00Speaker 1: ball over at a crucial time in that game. If
- 30:03Speaker 1: you can't beat the Vikings when they lose that.
- 30:06Speaker 4: Here's another example. This is why I'm wary of tonight's
- 30:09Speaker 4: game in KC. A rivalry game in division to start
- 30:13Speaker 4: the season.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Anything can happen. Okay, fine. But it looked, that game
- 30:19Speaker 2: looked remarkably good. Like the Giants against the Broncos last
- 30:24Speaker 2: year where that one team just stopped playing football. Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Vikings 1-0, Packers 0-1. Eagles barely outlast the Commanders 24-22.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Now, see, don't... The Commanders might still be... They might
- 30:36Speaker 2: be a good football team. No, that's what I'm saying.
- 30:39Speaker 2: You don't really know at this point, do you?
- 30:40Speaker 1: I didn't mean that as an insult to Philly. I
- 30:43Speaker 1: think the Commanders could be a pretty good team again.
- 30:48Speaker 3: It's just.
- 30:49Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of Jaden Daniels right
- 30:51Speaker 1: now either. It's a very good defense that he faced.
- 30:53Speaker 1: He was hurt last year. Played okay in that game.
- 30:57Speaker 1: But it wasn't anything crazy like we saw from his
- 30:59Speaker 1: rookie season. But the Eagles 1-0, the Commanders 0-1. Mosier's
- 31:04Speaker 1: game in which he called, I believe, Ginsu Knife Game. Correct?
- 31:11Speaker 5: It was your survivor pick. It was the Chargers over
- 31:13Speaker 5: the Cardinals.
- 31:14Speaker 1: And.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Look for them to be aggressive here and... Cardinals bringing
- 31:18Speaker 2: the heat. Oh, they come and they get him again.
- 31:19Speaker 2: A third sack.
- 31:21Speaker 3: This time, Buda Baker.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Like a torpedo up the middle.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Throws him for a loss.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Back to the 27.
- 31:28Speaker 5: Chargers looked awful. All the hype about Mike McDaniel being
- 31:31Speaker 5: brought over this offense. What can they do?
- 31:33Speaker 1: They look terrible.
- 31:34Speaker 4: And Jacoby Brissett for Arizona, the perfect quarterback right now
- 31:37Speaker 4: for their situation.
- 31:39Speaker 1: He's a stopgap.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a stopgap, but he played well.
- 31:46Speaker 1: What you got to say for yourself, Moshe?
- 31:47Speaker 2: How embarrassed are you? Seriously, how embarrassed? Every year, you
- 31:51Speaker 2: jump on the Chargers train. And every year, it was
- 31:54Speaker 2: your first game in the Survivor Pool. I'm not on
- 31:57Speaker 2: the Chargers train. I'm worried that they might be good.
- 32:01Speaker 2: I'm no longer worried that they might be good. They
- 32:04Speaker 2: are junk. I'm sorry. They are frauds. They are junk. Herbert...
- 32:09Speaker 2: That kid better get his priorities straight because football ain't
- 32:12Speaker 2: it right now. I think bigger than that. How shocking
- 32:15Speaker 2: is it?
- 32:15Speaker 4: They all this hubbub about Mike McDaniel going in there,
- 32:18Speaker 4: becoming their OC and allowing, you know, let's run this
- 32:22Speaker 4: offense on a different level.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Their offense. That's the worst. Their offense has looked in years.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
- 32:28Speaker 2: They were a 10 and a half point favorite.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I got to say as bad as Moses pick was
- 32:32Speaker 1: that he's out after the first week. I don't think
- 32:33Speaker 1: Nelly understood the concept of the game. Cause if you
- 32:35Speaker 1: pick the Titans in a survivor pool in the first week,
- 32:37Speaker 1: what are you doing?
- 32:39Speaker 6: Well, Okay, honestly, full disclosure, when you guys were talking
- 32:44Speaker 6: about that, I was editing the recap of Mosher's Lay
- 32:46Speaker 6: It Down, and then you were like, Nelly, pick a game!
- 32:49Speaker 2: And I went, Titans!
- 32:51Speaker 1: Sneaky pick, Titans!
- 32:52Speaker 2: I think Nelly gets a mulligan. Mosher does not. Mosher
- 32:56Speaker 2: does not get a mulligan, but we'll give Nelly one.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Final game.
- 33:00Speaker 2: I'm still going to give you.
- 33:02Speaker 1: A survivor pick.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Well, we won't accept it.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Just quickly here. Sunday night game. Giants and Cowboys. Giants
- 33:08Speaker 1: win 28-20. Maybe the Giants got something with Jackson Dart
- 33:10Speaker 1: and Cam Scataboo.
- 33:11Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Seeing the Cowboys offense look that stagnant was weird. George
- 33:17Speaker 1: Pickens only three catches for like 20-some yards. Only five
- 33:20Speaker 1: catches for C.D.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Lamb.
- 33:22Speaker 5: The fact that they weren't able to, I mean, get
- 33:24Speaker 5: something going offensively.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Hey, man, you think you know, Vic? You think you know, Vic?
- 33:30Speaker 2: But you don't know.
- 33:31Speaker 1: That is a look around the league. You can listen
- 33:34Speaker 1: to us anywhere in the world on the Altitude Sports
- 33:36Speaker 1: Radio app. It is powered by the Wilhite Law Firm.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Andrew Lurz, go to WilhiteWins.com. That's WilhiteWins.com.
- 33:41Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, next.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
- 33:44Speaker 1: we feel like you should be aware of. And I
- 33:46Speaker 1: want to start here. So I want to point something out.
- 33:49Speaker 1: In watching how bad and embarrassing the Cleveland Browns were
- 33:54Speaker 1: in that opening game, And going back to the decisions
- 33:57Speaker 1: they made leading up to it, where they committed to
- 34:00Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson out of, I think, cowardice. They were like,
- 34:05Speaker 1: I know this guy stinks, but we're paying him a
- 34:06Speaker 1: lot of money. And we talked about it. When he's
- 34:08Speaker 1: being booed by his own fans in a preseason game,
- 34:11Speaker 1: pretty bad, right? So Schefter brought up this point of, well,
- 34:15Speaker 1: their first two games are on the road. Maybe they
- 34:17Speaker 1: give him those first two. And if he looks okay,
- 34:19Speaker 1: then he starts at home. There's no way that happens now. But,
- 34:23Speaker 1: Let me give you another scenario. Not apples to apples,
- 34:26Speaker 1: but in the fruit family, we'll call it. There's another
- 34:30Speaker 1: team that had a decision like this about a starting
- 34:32Speaker 1: quarterback where there would have been no sort of comments
- 34:36Speaker 1: or criticisms if they went with this guy. In Minnesota,
- 34:40Speaker 1: not only did they go away from their first round
- 34:43Speaker 1: pick in J.J. McCarthy after a few games because they
- 34:45Speaker 1: realized he wasn't good. They also put him as an
- 34:48Speaker 1: inactive for that game. And do you remember the reason
- 34:51Speaker 1: why Kevin O'Connell said that? Why would you do that?
- 34:54Speaker 5: He said, because it gives us the best chance to win.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but the price tag is different, though.
- 35:00Speaker 2: You're not looking at the price tag.
- 35:01Speaker 5: But there's still commitment levels to this.
- 35:03Speaker 2: But there's price tag. Price, cost of business is always
- 35:07Speaker 2: a factor.
- 35:08Speaker 4: It's the very reason why the Broncos went the bulk
- 35:10Speaker 4: of their season with Russell Wilson before they demoted him.
- 35:13Speaker 2: You always err on the side of the price tag.
- 35:15Speaker 5: But hang on, hang on. Here's the difference.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Even when the Broncos knew they didn't want to move
- 35:20Speaker 1: forward with Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson was the best quarterback
- 35:24Speaker 1: on the roster. You can't tell me nobody can play
- 35:29Speaker 1: better than what Deshaun Watson did in that first game.
- 35:31Speaker 1: You can't tell me Shador or Dylan Gabriel or Talon
- 35:34Speaker 1: Green or whoever would look worse than that. That's the point.
- 35:38Speaker 1: And here's the credit I give to Kevin O'Connell. He
- 35:41Speaker 1: put J.J. McCarthy as an inactive quarterback. And you're thinking, well,
- 35:44Speaker 1: they aren't going to use Wentz the opening week. Turns
- 35:46Speaker 1: out you did. And he scored 29 unanswered points to
- 35:50Speaker 1: win a game.
- 35:50Speaker 2: But you said, when I brought up Carson Wentz, you're like,
- 35:53Speaker 2: I said, well, he was an MVP candidate at one point.
- 35:55Speaker 1: You're like, long time ago.
- 35:56Speaker 2: About 87 years ago, Moshe.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Yeah, let me tell you this. If Kevin O'Connell can
- 36:03Speaker 1: win football games with Carson Wentz or Kyler Murray, J.J.
- 36:08Speaker 1: McCarthy might be the worst quarterback to ever live. Like,
- 36:11Speaker 1: might be the worst ever. Anyway. Oh, by the way, don't.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Look now, but 100 losses for your Rocks is definitely happening.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it's done.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Vic, they've lost seven in a row. Oh, they're terrible.
- 36:23Speaker 2: They got trucked by the Tigers yesterday. They've got 94 losses, bro.
- 36:29Speaker 2: They need to go eight and five in their final
- 36:31Speaker 2: 13 to avoid 100 losses. That is not going to happen.
- 36:36Speaker 2: They're done.
- 36:36Speaker 1: No, they're done.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Rockies officially are going to lose 100 games plus again.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Sad day.
- 36:43Speaker 1: It is.
- 36:44Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, I am obsessed.
- 36:49Speaker 1: With Utah.
- 36:51Speaker 5: Do you know why?
- 36:52Speaker 2: With the state or the school or what?
- 36:54Speaker 1: The Utah Utes.
- 36:58Speaker 5: If you guys haven't seen this, turn on a Utah game.
- 37:02Speaker 5: It's fascinating.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Utah is running an offense with two quarterbacks on the
- 37:06Speaker 1: field at the same time.
- 37:08Speaker 2: What? You're kidding.
- 37:11Speaker 5: It's Devin Dampier- and Bird Ficklin.
- 37:14Speaker 1: They're on the field at the same time, and you
- 37:16Speaker 1: don't know who's throwing, who's running, who's doing whatever. They
- 37:19Speaker 1: ran an option.
- 37:21Speaker 2: I had this idea years ago, and everybody laughed at me.
- 37:24Speaker 5: Nelly, I gotta show you, or I gotta have you
- 37:25Speaker 5: pull up a video.
- 37:28Speaker 1: It's... Those two guys, they literally ran basically both in
- 37:34Speaker 1: the backfield, one took the snap, handed it off, ran
- 37:37Speaker 1: an option with the guy, pitched it back to him,
- 37:40Speaker 1: and you don't know if he's going to throw it
- 37:41Speaker 1: or not. And he took off and ran for like
- 37:42Speaker 1: 20 yards. It's fascinating.
- 37:44Speaker 4: Yeah, they better be option quarterbacks because you can't do
- 37:47Speaker 4: that with two throwing quarterbacks.
- 37:49Speaker 2: It wouldn't work.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Well, no, they both can move. They both can move. But, Nelly,
- 37:52Speaker 1: I'm sending you a DM right now, and I want
- 37:54Speaker 1: you to watch just one of the plays that they're implementing.
- 37:57Speaker 1: It is amazing to watch.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Amazing. Oh, by the way, guess who says, okay, I'm sorry.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Steve Ballmer has accepted the NBA's punishment.
- 38:10Speaker 1: What's he going to do?
- 38:13Speaker 2: We are committed to putting this chapter behind us. We
- 38:16Speaker 2: have communicated to the NBA we are complying with penalties.
- 38:19Speaker 2: I've paid the fine, and they're moving forward. You know,
- 38:22Speaker 2: I imagine that conversation. I have sincere regrets, he says. Yeah,
- 38:26Speaker 2: because you got caught red-handed.
- 38:27Speaker 1: You got caught.
- 38:28Speaker 2: You got caught, bro. As soon as the FBI became involved,
- 38:32Speaker 2: you guys heard about that? The DOJ. The DOJ, yeah.
- 38:35Speaker 4: As soon as they got involved, and I'm sure they
- 38:36Speaker 4: got involved after the NBA said, oh, really, you want.
- 38:38Speaker 2: To play this game, Steve? You want to play this game?
- 38:40Speaker 2: You know why, Vic? Because if you started getting into
- 38:43Speaker 2: the RICO laws— And he keeps pressing. He's going to
- 38:47Speaker 2: open up all the other. He's going to open up
- 38:49Speaker 2: so many other things. So many books. I mean, we
- 38:52Speaker 2: could be talking about criminal charges. They conned me.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Here's for those watching on Twitch, on YouTube, and on
- 38:59Speaker 1: Altitude Television. Here's just one of the plays that Utah ran.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Both quarterbacks in the backfield.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Look at this. Look at this.
- 39:03Speaker 5: Moe, you're the play-by-play guy.
- 39:04Speaker 1: You do it.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Well, is he under center or is he in the shotgun? No,
- 39:07Speaker 2: it's shotgun.
- 39:07Speaker 5: It's like pistol.
- 39:08Speaker 2: All right, so 15's in the shotgun. Four's behind him.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Fakes the handoff. Or actually, no, he hands it off.
- 39:14Speaker 2: He does hand it off and ran the option. That
- 39:16Speaker 2: is so cool. To quarterbacks.
- 39:18Speaker 4: They set up in the pistol. Quarterback hands it off
- 39:21Speaker 4: to the running back. Running back runs toward the tackle
- 39:24Speaker 4: gap and then pitches it back to the quarterback for
- 39:26Speaker 4: a sweep around the right side.
- 39:27Speaker 1: And he could if he wanted to because it's a lateral.
- 39:29Speaker 2: He could have thrown it.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Yeah. But when you say he gave it to the
- 39:33Speaker 1: running back, it's not a running back. It's a quarterback,
- 39:35Speaker 1: but he's lined up.
- 39:36Speaker 2: As a running quarterback. I can't wait to see this.
- 39:40Speaker 2: So the first snap of the game against Arkansas.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Ficklin, one of the quarterbacks, threw a 36-yard pass to
- 39:49Speaker 1: the other quarterback, Dan Peer.
- 39:51Speaker 2: That's cool, man.
- 39:52Speaker 5: I'm telling you, tune into a Utah game.
- 39:54Speaker 1: It's fun.
- 39:54Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, CU and CSU 2-0, both 2-0
- 39:58Speaker 4: for the first time since 1994. 1994, the last time
- 40:05Speaker 4: both state schools here in Colorado started a season 2-0.
- 40:09Speaker 4: They both run roughshod over their respective opponents, Southern Utah
- 40:12Speaker 4: and Weber State.
- 40:13Speaker 2: What did we learn from those two games? Nothing. I mean,
- 40:16Speaker 2: those teams are terrible. Here's what I wish would.
- 40:18Speaker 4: Have happened, to be honest with you. And I know
- 40:20Speaker 4: the reasons why, but I wish. And I express this
- 40:23Speaker 4: via X. Why didn't Southern Utah just play Weber and
- 40:26Speaker 4: see you play CSU? And I was told, well, that's
- 40:29Speaker 4: because Southern Utah played Weber last week. To which my
- 40:32Speaker 4: reply is, play again.
- 40:34Speaker 2: I don't care. That's not my problem. You guys get
- 40:36Speaker 2: to play two weeks in a row. See you play CSU.
- 40:39Speaker 2: I agree.
- 40:42Speaker 5: That's what should work.
- 40:43Speaker 2: That's kind of funny. The Rams are going to get
- 40:46Speaker 2: a hell of a test. I mean, BYU is coming
- 40:48Speaker 2: to town this weekend, dude.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Oh, dude, I'm so excited.
- 40:50Speaker 1: I think they got a good shot. You think they
- 40:52Speaker 1: got a puncher's chance? Yes, I do. I believe in Maura.
- 40:55Speaker 2: BYU is 11 in the country, bro.
- 40:56Speaker 1: I believe in Maura.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Speaking of that, this is a gratuitous shot. How bad
- 41:03Speaker 2: does Arkansas stink?
- 41:05Speaker 5: Well, you just want to do that. You just want
- 41:07Speaker 5: to poke at Brandon.
- 41:08Speaker 6: Of course.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Those pigs are terrible. Hey, can I give you a
- 41:12Speaker 1: couple more things here real quick? Oh, by the way,
- 41:14Speaker 1: we talked about this for a second on Friday, but
- 41:16Speaker 1: do you guys remember the quote from Nikola Jokic? So
- 41:21Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions about Jokic. Why didn't he
- 41:23Speaker 1: sign his extension? You know, Lakers fans want to gear up, try.
- 41:26Speaker 5: And, like, get him, whatever.
- 41:27Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Here's the quote from Jokic though that's getting criticized. I'm
- 41:32Speaker 1: getting more and more bothered by popularity. This is going
- 41:35Speaker 1: to sound corny, but I'm getting ruder to people who
- 41:37Speaker 1: approach me. Honestly, it's tiring. Some people around me know
- 41:40Speaker 1: I don't take pictures because it's my time. I'll sound
- 41:43Speaker 1: rude again, but what can I do? If people can
- 41:45Speaker 1: understand me, I understand everything, but it's been 11, 12
- 41:48Speaker 1: years and enough is enough. Look, when you're in the
- 41:50Speaker 1: public eye, this is part of the territory that comes
- 41:52Speaker 1: with it. When you're making, you know, $ 70 million a
- 41:55Speaker 1: year to play basketball, that's part of the game is
- 41:57Speaker 1: that you're going to be somebody who gets recognized and
- 41:59Speaker 1: probably accosted in public. You know what that doesn't sound like?
- 42:05Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like somebody that wants to go to
- 42:07Speaker 1: Los Angeles.
- 42:08Speaker 3: No, no.
- 42:09Speaker 4: So, you know, so like, I think Joker in that interview,
- 42:13Speaker 4: I think it was a human moment where he's like, listen,
- 42:16Speaker 4: I'm human.
- 42:16Speaker 2: It's hard.
- 42:17Speaker 4: I'm sort of tired of this. I didn't sign up
- 42:19Speaker 4: for this. He was never in it for the popularity
- 42:21Speaker 4: to begin with, and now he's just, you know, he
- 42:23Speaker 4: can't go anywhere. At the same time, I think he's
- 42:27Speaker 4: got to understand there's 70 million reasons why you have
- 42:30Speaker 4: to tolerate that stuff per year. Just put on a
- 42:32Speaker 4: fake smile.
- 42:33Speaker 2: And that's just the way it is.
- 42:35Speaker 4: And I have zero, and I do mean zero, empathy
- 42:39Speaker 4: for any pro athlete who cries about it when you're
- 42:41Speaker 4: making that kind of money.
- 42:42Speaker 3: I'm with you.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Zero. Zero.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I mean, Vic, you get stopped at ball arena all
- 42:46Speaker 1: the time. Mos, you get stopped all the time. You
- 42:49Speaker 1: guys aren't making 70 mil a year. You know what
- 42:51Speaker 1: I mean?
- 42:52Speaker 2: It's just part of the deal for, I mean, listen, man.
- 42:55Speaker 1: I'm very important.
- 42:56Speaker 4: You got to live if you're, if you're like, we
- 42:59Speaker 4: had this debate before. How would you like to be
- 43:00Speaker 4: Peyton Manning in Denver? You can't go anywhere.
- 43:02Speaker 2: John Elway in Denver.
- 43:03Speaker 4: You can't go anywhere, right? Your private life is no
- 43:06Speaker 4: longer yours. You can't go anywhere. I feel sorry for them.
- 43:09Speaker 4: I hate, I would hate that. At the same time,
- 43:12Speaker 4: that's what you got.
- 43:13Speaker 1: I think there is a certain line, though. If you're
- 43:15Speaker 1: out with your family or something like that, maybe that's
- 43:19Speaker 1: one thing.
- 43:20Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 43:20Speaker 5: But it comes with the territory.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Let's be honest. I can go anywhere.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Bronco land.
- 43:27Speaker 1: All right.
- 43:28Speaker 5: One last thing here. Oh, by the way, you guys remember.
- 43:31Speaker 1: When Akron auctioned off the opportunity for somebody to call
- 43:36Speaker 1: the opening drive?
- 43:38Speaker 2: Was it an auction or was it like a contest?
- 43:40Speaker 1: Or a contest, whatever it was. But somebody could call
- 43:44Speaker 1: the opening drive of the team's home opener. Well, that
- 43:48Speaker 1: happened as Akron played Robert Morris this weekend. Would you
- 43:51Speaker 1: like to know how the drive went?
- 43:52Speaker 2: Yes.
- 43:54Speaker 5: It was all no huddle. It was a 12-yard run,
- 43:58Speaker 5: a two-yard pass, a seven-yard run, a false start, and
- 44:01Speaker 5: then a fumble.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 44:04Speaker 1: I thought it was going to end with a break.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I know. It started out well. It did. Yeah.
- 44:09Speaker 1: It started out okay. It started out pretty good. Um,
- 44:13Speaker 1: we got time for one more, maybe one more. I
- 44:18Speaker 1: know that people are probably aware of this already, but, uh,
- 44:21Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, that experiment has already taken a turn. He
- 44:23Speaker 1: is now on the IR after getting, uh, a meniscus scope,
- 44:28Speaker 1: I believe something like that, a scope on his knee.
- 44:31Speaker 1: So he is out for at least four weeks and
- 44:33Speaker 1: all the magic of the Rams off season, uh, at
- 44:36Speaker 1: least in that, came crumbling after a single week, in
- 44:39Speaker 1: which they lost by 20. Hey, you'll think they're going, hey, Aaron.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, how you feeling, buddy?
- 44:46Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
- 44:47Speaker 2: You ready? We could use you.
- 44:49Speaker 5: Oh, last thing real quick. I'm so sorry. I wanted
- 44:51Speaker 5: to get to this.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Did you guys see in the pregame of Sunday Night
- 44:54Speaker 1: Football last night how much they talked to Odell Beckham Jr.
- 44:56Speaker 5: About being back in New York, being a giant again?
- 44:59Speaker 2: It was nauseous. It was nauseous.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Did he even play?
- 45:02Speaker 2: I don't know. Was all of it? Nauseous.
- 45:04Speaker 1: He was dancing around pregame. It felt like he thought
- 45:08Speaker 1: he was going to come back and put up 200 yards,
- 45:10Speaker 1: and I don't think he got a target.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Zero. Well, the Malik Nabors situation was tough for them. Like,
- 45:17Speaker 2: was he going to play? Was he not going to play?
- 45:19Speaker 2: Turns out he did play.
- 45:21Speaker 4: And the fact that the Cowboys were on Sunday Night
- 45:23Speaker 4: Football again.
- 45:24Speaker 3: I know.
- 45:25Speaker 4: Cowboys-Giants again. That, to me, was the least entertaining game
- 45:29Speaker 4: of the day, for crying out loud.
- 45:31Speaker 2: What's your point? What's your point?
- 45:33Speaker 4: When you're watching Red Zone, everything's entertaining because they always
- 45:36Speaker 4: go to the most entertaining portion of the.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Game, I guess.
- 45:40Speaker 1: So when we come back, it's go time, boys. Monday
- 45:44Speaker 1: Night Football, Broncos and Chiefs. Get another look at it.
- 45:47Speaker 1: What do you expect to happen tonight? And what are
- 45:51Speaker 1: you most concerned about?
- 45:53Speaker 5: We'll get to it next.
