  Speaker 1: the head.

  Speaker 2: Watch out.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Brazil.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Oh goodness, it is his night. Get that thing like
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Eisen murdery Boro.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Hold on the retard patcho.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Oh twenty eight.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Pitch up the middle and the American League catches in.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: How the ads into score? Langlers right behind him to
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: un single Cody Bellinger. It's it hard here and that's due.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: The Yankees have knocked him three in this first inning?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: What is into score? Bellinger?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: And Rice with our DII his.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: You had to throw that highlight in, didn't you.
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 0:53
  Speaker 7: I gotta tell you yesterday was a sneaky sort of
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: fun sports night if you knew what to look for. Now,
• 1:00
  Speaker 7: I know that in life, putting things into context and
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: having perspective is the right approach to do. It's the
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: wise thing for any human being. Have perspective. It's not
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: the greatest thing you've ever seen or the worst thing
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: that's ever happened. I think Trevon Brazil is the next
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: Michael Jordan. And now I'm gonna tell you why. Uh Look,
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: I'm joking, moje. I know it's summer League. Let me
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: tell you this much.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm just getting my musk.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, let me tell you something.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: I was waiting for Trevor Brazil because I watched him
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: Game one and he was fine. I think he had
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: like five points, like he was trying to find his footing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: Bryce Hopkins was the story of the first couple of
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: games because Trevor Brazil didn't play in Game two of
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: Summer League he had a shoulder problem. And then they
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: signed him to a four year guaranteed contract, and I'm like, gosh,
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: he must have seen something in practice because I haven't
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: seen much of anything.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And then I see the game last night.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: I go, oh, I guess that's why being six foot
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: ten and two hundred and twenty pounds of being able
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: to donkey block shots and play defense and go six
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: of twelve from three point range is a pretty cool
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: thing to do.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shot the three twelve times in that game. Clearly
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: had the green light to do so, which is what
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the Summer League is all about. Which is why it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: tough to evaluate Summer League action because you just don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: know what anyone's role is going to be when they
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: play real basketball. Okay, I will say this, the kid
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: proved he's got some game. Yeah. In fact, we are
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: going to visit with his former coach at the University
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: of Arkansas, Eric Musselman.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Correct, yes, who is now USC's basketball coach at eight
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: o'clock this morning.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So wait a minute, how did we get this? He's
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: no longer at Arkansas? So why does why does he
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: want to talk to us about Trevin Brazil.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Because he loves Trevor Brazil.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: I guess like they I think they reached out to us,
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: was like, would you guys like to talk about Trevor
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: Brazil because Eric would love to.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Talk about it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Also, let me get this straight, we said, and we said,
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: we said, yeah, yeah, we sure would.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but why would the current USC coach who's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: not affiliated anymore with Arkansas want to coach or want
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to talk about a player he coached at his old
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: school on these airwaves in Denver.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Because he cared about his players.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, I love it, you know listen, I love it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: You can ask him at eight o'clock.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, why say, coach, why do you even want to
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: talk about him? You coached the Trojans.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Most You've done this enough. When is the last time
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: we got a phone call or communication from a former
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: coach saying hey, can I join you guys to talk
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: about a player. I think it's cool. I think it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: great just asking you. How often does that happen?
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Not very often, although we've reached out to plenty of
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: coaches to talk to them about guys and they said, heck, yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: i'll talk about.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you say we, you mean me and Brett.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: You haven't done crap.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Musselman's a great coach, by the way.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He is, Well, he's been around.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I saw USC. Yeah, Eric, Eric.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Musselman boys has been around I mean college, NBA, minor
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: leagues back to college. You know, he coached a team
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: called the Reno Big Horns. I don't even know what
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: the hell that is.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Think about this with Nevada in Arkansas in.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: Five or i'm sorry, four out of five NCAA tournaments
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: he made at least the sweet sixteen. That's pretty impressive
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: with two different teams. So we'll talk to him.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: When did you get the USC job? Just curious?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: A couple of years ago?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, a couple of years ago.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of years ago. But anyway, we'll talk
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: to Eric Musselman at eight o'clock. Here's the thing, man,
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: I think one thing is clear from a Nuggets perspective,
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: they looked at the offseason and they made a real
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: commitment to say, we are going to get more athletic.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: And that's what if you watch Trevor Brazil in the
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: Summer league games, where you watch Bryce Hopkins in these
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: Summer League games, or you see the se Marvin Bagley,
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: who's more that athletic big you see they're like, we're
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: going for guys who can move a little bit more. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: we felt a little bit stiff last year. Let's get
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: some athleticism in here and to have guys, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: not to be lost on this last night, as brazilgo's
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: off for thirty two points, I thought it was another
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: good game for Bryce Hopkins Vick.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: He was another one where he's.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Just like steady Eddy solid fourteen points, seven boards. He's
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: got a little bit of that game too.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: The one thing I noticed watching I don't know how
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: much you watched at the Summer League. There's a lot
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: of stuff going on. Of course I didn't watch the
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: All Star Game because I was doing the Summer League game.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But the one thing I noted is Oklahoma City their
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: very first pick of the draft that Maya kid, Yeah
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: from Michigan. Yes, he's terrible. He's seven foot three of terrible.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'm being honest. I usually don't like to make my
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: impression after what my gosh, that guy's slow and just
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: methodical and whatever. I mean, just because your seven to
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: three doesn't make you an NBA player. I saw enough
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: last night to say, wow, well who had.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: I think one of Brazil's threes was right over his
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: seven foot three frame, right, he was coming out to
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: challenge it, and he was.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Just like what right over the time.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: He can't do anything. I mean, he can't move. He
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: was beating down the court every time. Jeremy Lynn was
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: handling the analysis work last night for ESPN, and he
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: was killing the kid.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: He was killing a lot of people. Jeremy Lynn was
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: not afraid to get a little bit critical.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah he was. Oh so I didn't Again, again, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: didn't watch All Star game. You guys gonna have to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: fill me in on that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Ok.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Everybody struck out everybody game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: The American League mowed down the National League. They scored
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: no runs and the game was over.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: How's that?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: How do you not produce any offense at all in
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: an All Star Game?
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Because pitchers are really good in the All Star Game.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: This is what This is a microcosm of modern day baseball.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: You use a host of arms that throw one hundred
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: and ninety seven miles per hour with movements. Then they
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: go get Tommy John then you go get another guy.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, dude, the American League last night was just
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: dealing all over the place. But that's what it is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It's all pure, just pure power from the from the mount.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: Harry Goodman got a pinch hit a bat late in
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: the game and if you blinked you would have missed it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: He swunk first pitch and was out.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: So okay, yeah it was that fast. Now let me
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: ask you a question. Did you watch the first two
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: Summer League games or is this the first one that
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: you watched.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I watched parts of the first two. I went back
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and looked at them, and I saw Bryce Hopkins really
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: shine in the opener of Trevin Brazil really didn't do much,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: only had five points. That guys, I mean that oc kid.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, let me ask this is this is Brett.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: This is Brett's guy. So let's let's get after.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: There's two other guys like Hopkins in Brazil are obvious
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: because they're the guys that were drafted, and you would
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: assume that they're probably gonna stick around the roster in
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: some capat kJ Simpson and we know very well probably
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: a two way guy, that sort of thing.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: He is a two way guy, two other guys.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: I just want to tell you about from what I've seen,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: because I've watched all three of these games.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Now, Eric Stevenson's got a hell of a shot. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: don't know what he's gonna I don't know if he's
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: an NBA player or not.
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: But that's a smooth stroke that that guy Haska that
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: first initially the first play of the game where he
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: crosses dude up gets him to fall on his ass
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: a step back, three bam, right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: In his face.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Oh CIFO. I don't know what's going on with this guy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: He's played like twenty minutes total through three games, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: he's got like twenty four points in twenty minutes.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And he's a.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Ballimball, Yes, huge athletic. What do I do with him?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you how this works. So when
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you play on a summer league team, you're not property
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: of the Nuggets yet you have to be signed by
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets. You're just being displayed by the Nuggets. You're
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: on their summer league team.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So a lot of these guys play other scouts, other
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: teams find them and say we want this guy, or
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: they keep from unders. Yeah, so maybe the limited minutes.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know, this is just an idea. I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: know if it's fact. Maybe they're trying to hide him
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: a little bit because they know how good he can be.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: He's very athletic. I don't know if he can play yet.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I know this, the dude can do just about anything athletically.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Did you see that Blockshaw?
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, No, he's an athletic freak.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: So anyway, if you guys miss summer League, you missed
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: a hell of a game from Trevor Brazil and it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: something you want to see. Like there are roster spots
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: to be had, Okay, Like they're out there and at
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: least Brazil's gonna take one. You would think maybe Hopkins
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: is gonna take another, but who knows, Maybe one of
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: the other of these guys could find their way on
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: the roster. But to the All Star Game, Vic, if
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: you're asking, like what happened you literally didn't miss and
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: it was very, very boring. It was three runs in
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: the first inning by the American League, and then everybody
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: struck out, and then Vargas hit a home run, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: then everybody struck out and the game was over.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Who did they? They got three in the first two
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: They beat up there.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: That was Sanchez. Yeah, but after that it was just
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: a whole bunch of yawn. I mean, baka, did you
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: watch the All Star Game?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I had a volleyball game, like sand volleyball.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's fine.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Sand volleyball leagues are fun. I don't blame it for
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: that at all.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Did you hold hold on, hold on?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Did you well you play volleyball in your backyard?
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: No, no, but I mean this guy sounds like he's in
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the league.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Do you mean it's like a casual wreck.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Do you drink? Do you drink beer?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, no, No, that's I've been in these leagues.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: They're a blast. You go out, Well, they're fun.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: You hammer like four or five beers, you play a
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: couple of games. I gotta tell you, sand volleyball decent workout.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what was really?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: What was that?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: What was the place on the corner of Elift.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: And these have the volley It was the big, big
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: like sports bar in the volleyball courts of the outside.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: This is it's all gone now. It wasn't even that place. Well,
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: you wouldn't know what am I asking you for. You're
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: an idiot. You wouldn't know because you're a north side
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: or okay, anybody on the.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Stone Lift here.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Then from the it was across the street from the

• 11:55
  Speaker 3: volleyball last night.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was working out.
• 11:59

• 12:02
  Speaker 3: just I'm usually the guy that's playing sports on this show.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know another human being.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say, it's not like you're shaming him
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: for doing no, no, no.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I was stunningly happy and surprised to know that there's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: another human being on this program that actually moves his
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: body outside of the studio.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: Well, I remember I told you the other day, I'm

  Speaker 8: I haven't done any leagues in like ten years since
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: my kids were born, and I don't know why I'm
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: in two all of a sudden.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: That's my problem.

• 13:07
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, hang on, hand let me finish this. I'm

• 13:15
  Speaker 5: We have legitimately the best sleeping kids ever ever.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: Like everybody's like, it's a nightmare kids, so you gotta
• 13:23

  Speaker 6: This is what you do if you want to play,
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: like in a league, softball league or beach volleyball or
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: whatever it is you want to do, say honey, I
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: love you. You're staying home with the kids. I'm gonna go
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: drink beer and play beach volleyball.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that that'll work.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's as simple as that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: How is how is that? Even?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: That's not how it works, bro. You have to meet
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: half way. I used to just bring the kids and
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: saying hang out on the side.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's not how it works.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: But of course you have no hope or chance in
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: life of doing that bread. This is until they're a
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: little bit older.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: This is what's beautif the reason I get to play
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: golf as much as I do is because of our job.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: It's because I can play golf and get home by
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: the time the kids get home.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: And that's how I get away with it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about the golfers who bring their kids.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I've seen that. I don't know that I've ever seen
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: that little children two years old walking around as they're playing.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Hey man, sometimes you just got to get out and grind.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: And if it means you need to bring the kid,
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: you bring the kid. Let them drive, you know what,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Let the two year old drive while you drink beer.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: You know our boys Spence over at DNVR. Of course
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: he's got I think he has the stroller that has
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: the clubs in it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Well, he's a pro. So no, but I think I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: saw a video.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: He's got the stroller that's got the it's got like
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: a golf bag attached to it.

  Speaker 6: off to talk to Lee. He's over in Scotland right
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: now doing the Open. You know, he's working it, That's
• 15:05

• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Of course?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: What does he do? Lee? By the way, I think that.

  Speaker 6: Everybody knows Spencer Smith Vic you know, you know Spencer
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: and Mitche Yeah, well he's yeah, he he's a hell.

  Speaker 7: I gotta tell you, this looks like a nightmare. That
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: is never something I'd want to do. I love my daughters.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Imagine trying to put that together?
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Though, How do you think fit that in your car?
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: It's like a tank you gonna have like a semi anyway, Well,
• 15:45

• 15:47
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go off with the kid. I'm gonna need
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: the thing, them gonna need the space, and now I
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: need a big truck.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: It's just the next logical step.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Hey, last thing, last thing, Oh I told you by
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: it just real quick Bush, Yeah, I've Jedi mind tricked.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Maybe Jamal Kle The last three Sundays consecutively, she has
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: walked up to me and said, Daddy, can we go
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: to the golf course. As I take her to the
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: putting green, she brings her plastic clubs, and then after
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: five minutes until she gets bored, we walk inside the
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: clubhouse and I give her pancakes and Shirley temples and
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: apple juices and whenever she wants, And every time we leave,
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: she goes, that was so much fun.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I know, because I applied you with sugar. You're gonna
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: love this place.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: It's good.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Good job.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: But back to what Vic said at the beginning of this,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: and I know we're kind of jumping around everywhere. Somehow
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: we got on Bodka and his volleyball that it all
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: went sideway. Yeay e's up, Pacha, Jesus, I do like
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: your Nuggets at today, though you're not wearing a Yankees
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: at good job.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: But Vic is one hundred percent correct.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: But I cannot tell you over the years how many
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: times I've seen a guy or two guys in a
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Nuggets uniform. At summer Megan thought, oh baby, we may
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: have something here, and then you know what we have,
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Jack squat.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: But so counterpoint Trevoran Brazil is Michael Jordan.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Ah, Well, remember when Hunter Tyson was tearing up the
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Summer League.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: He was All Summer League. Yeah, the All Summer League team.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that was fake.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, Annual Moody eight.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Now listen, you're what I'm telling you is you're gonna
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: have to hit on one of these guys. You're going
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: to have to. I mean, you can't miss on everybody.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: And I know and I'm not saying the Nuggets, missile.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's just hard to
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: get guys because there are so few spots, second rounders
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: and free agents and what not to get them up
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: to NBA speed and be productive players. It's the amount
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: of guys who do that are very small. But you're
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: gonna have to hit on somewhat eventually. And why not
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: this guy or.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: These two guys.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Well we'll get back to this in a bit. We'll
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: talk to Eric Musselman at eight o'clock. He his coach
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: at Arkansas, now the coach at USC so he'll join.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Us at eight stick atte.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: All Right, so this is pretty great and the appetite bake,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: you showed me something Bacha filling in for Nelly all week.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: You showed me a graphic though that made a comparison
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: between the remaining going into yesterday, the remaining soccer teams
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: left in the World Cup, and the and teams in
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: the NBA. So I want to read these team because
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: I've said, you know, Argentine is playing England. I know
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: that Argentine is like the enemy of a lot of
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: people across you know, the world in soccer. I can't
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: have England win.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: And this perfectly illustrates why so the.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: Comparisons that were made here is England is the New
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: York Knicks loud fan base might finally be their year,
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: is what it says.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: And that's why I couldn't root for the Knicks.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: All it took was the Knicks to lose one game
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: to the Spurs and they started beating up sixty year
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: olds in women the ame jerseys, and I go, Nope,
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: I can't root for that. That's not something I'm rooting
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: for anymore. Because I had no problem with the team.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: I liked Brunson, I like.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Josh Hart, I like everybody on that roster. But I
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: couldn't stand the fans too much. So that's England.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Spain is elite defense led by a young superstar.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: The San Antonio Spurs makes sense.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: Argentina is the Golden State Warriors, can the goat carry
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: them one more time? And then finally, France is the
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: thunder dominant roster top to bottom.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And the thunder god bounced this year. France got bounced yesterday.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: France looked uselessly by the Spurs.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I mean it's actually pretty perfect.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Again. The only thing that bothers me about Spain's style,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: and I've talked to you guys about it, and I've
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: grown to appreciate it, to be honest with you, because
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: it's just so hard to beat their little and their
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: ability to pass the rock. So it's just, I mean,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: what do you do. They're impenetrable their defense, by the way,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, France has some of the most explosive players
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: in the world, and they couldn't do anything.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: They had that one opportunity to hell of a play
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: by the keeper. He came way out, Yeah, booted it
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: deep and bob base all alone, and it's like it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: goalies got to make a play? Was he twenty yards
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: out of his box, slides, rips the ball out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: I was like, whoa big time.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Once they once they went up on that penalty though,
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, now they're really It's like it to
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: me Vic again, God, Like, let's talk about the old
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: you know, New Jersey Devils and left wing locks and
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: neutral zone traps and all that crap. Once once you
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: got like Marty brou Door was a great goalie, don't
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: get me wrong, but he faced like nineteen shots on
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: goal in a game because once the Devil's got a
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: one nothing lead on you, they shut it down.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It's just it, it's off.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: What what would you say? What are for doing the
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: NBA team comparisons?
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: What's the US? Who were they.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Up and coming team that sort of failed to meet expectations?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Is right there? And then at the end of.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Cleveland, Yeah, I was like, or yes, Cleveland, I was
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: gonna say, like they feel like remember the Atlanta Hawks
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: like ten years ago that had that Horford Millsap Corver
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Fatigue team that was like, one, they're good, I.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Just couldn't get past a legit team.
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: Guys, that was like a sixty one team. Come on, yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: that they couldn't get past a legit Yeah, but they're
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: not that good, is my part. Well, let's relax here.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, what do you want to say that the
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: main red clause?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, Look, don't go gi league on me.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: And I'm a little bit i'the soccer it bothers me.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Let me let me say some good problem.
• 21:36

• 24:13
  Speaker 2: That's well, you know what.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: And Ellen, this last time, I'm gonna say this, if

• 24:20
  Speaker 6: name that I want, John Carlo.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: That's true, John Carlo Baca would be a badass.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's a missed opportunity. I agree.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I want to be no wonder Mike Stanton got away

• 24:42
  Speaker 7: Liono Messi.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: With who Lamina mal Oh my gosh, isn't.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: That crazy old stud for Spain?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Apparently crazy father.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: He won a contest as a baby to be in
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: the Barcelona calendar and be held by Messi.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And now that's crazy.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Look at this, that's amazing wild.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: You know what if Argentina were to beat Spain in
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the final, Oh my god, that picture is going to
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: make the wrong your daddy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well you have to go back and watch that
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: thing on ESPN about Messi the videotape and all that
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: kind of thing. And he wasn't even known in Argentina.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Then Spain like, oh my god, we've got something here
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: because he's in the Barcelona Academy right as a youngster. Yeah,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: they tried to get him. They tried to even hide
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: him a little bit, sure to have him play for
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Spain on the international stage before Argentina finally woke up.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's crazy. That's a great that's a great photo.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: That's cool, and that unbelievable was really cool.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Guys.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure me and Brett are older than La
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Migna Maul's dad. Oh god, I think he's like thirty four.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: My nephew is fifteen, and I said, what the hell
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: are you doing with your life? I mean, this kid's
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: playing in the World Cup at the highest level and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: he's making plays. He had a goal yesterday but it
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: was called back for offsides. Vaar, but my goodness, is
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: he explosive spaineling the wind. All you guys realize that,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: right Spain, it's over and it's not their offense either.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Everybody gets confused here. When you watch Alan helped me
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: out with these guys, they're they're not initiated. When you
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: watch the history of the World Cup, usually the teams
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: that win it are the ones that can suffocate you defensively.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Those are the teams that win. Yeah, and the moment
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: they're flying, yeah, that's why Brazil doesn't win anymore. You
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: get a little too crazy offensively, you expose yourself on
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: the defensive end. It's the teams that can suffocate you
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: and are organized defensively, those are the teams that win
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: World Cups.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: And they just control the ball the whole time. So
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: when they got that early goal yesterday, like it was
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: over at that point.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: It's it's amazing that you hold France to nothing though,
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: because France is offensively just a juggernaut, wouldn't get anything going.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: So, so you want some breaking news, please. Steve Eiserman
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: is no longer the GM of.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: The Detroit Red Wings.
• 27:15

  Speaker 6: his role as executive vice president and GM. He will
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: continue to serve as a senior advisor to the governor
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: and CEO Chris Illitz. So basically, it feels like Ilitch
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: is saying, hey, man, we need we need a new direction.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to fire you, right right.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Right, an Ierman because he's such a legend. I mean,
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: he's an absolute legend. Would it be like he's gonna
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: stay with the organization.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Let's say that Elway didn't have Super Bowl appearances as
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: a GM and it was just like it was kind
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: of a mess. It feels like something they'd do for
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: him in a situation like that, Like, we aren't going
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: to say that you're fired, but do you want to
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: transition to this role instead?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: And that sort of.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Thing, Nick, because the last thing you want to do
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: is disrespect one of, if not the greatest player in
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: your franchise's history.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I meanright, So, I mean listen.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Ireman was a good exec with the Tampa Bay Lightning obviously,
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: and then went to Detroit. But I think when people
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: look at the Detroit Red Wings vic and clearly it's
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: different than it was, you know, thirty years ago, but
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: they are not developing as a team quickly enough and
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: then now you have this whole Dylan Larkin thing where
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: he wants to be traded.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: As a local kid who grew up loving the Rings
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: like that's yeah, it's pretty good.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: But he's also but again and Iaman wants the moon
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: back for him. So it's things have gotten stuck there
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: and so they've decided.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: To uh to make a change. It looks like that's interesting.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: So what's happening today?
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: Most with the NHL, they're basically releasing like the big
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: games of the season.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, something like that. The full schedule comes out tomorrow.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: You and I are going to meet at that hotel
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: for NHL meetings. We're both corroderating different panels. Which time
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: are you gonna be there?
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: I'll be there at eleven, but I'm not on until
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: about twelve thirty. Okay, I'm on at eleven, right, And
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: you're not gonna stick around for my portion?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Hell?
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: No?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean imagine that question. Why would I stick around?
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I'm not gonna watch your crap.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be doing my own.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you too, Okay, I'm just The full slate is
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: coming out tomorrow eighty four game schedule, opening night and
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: signature events are announced today, broadcasting on ESPN in the
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: US and sports neting Canada.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Opening night matchups. Yeah yah.
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Sportsnet Canada announcement when we made to during the day
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: prior to the sp Awards that will feature several NHL nominees,
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: including the twenty twenty six Olympic gold medal winning US
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: men's hockey team for Best Team. So yeah, following day Thursday,
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: regular season announced and that is eighty four games.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: This year, eighty four.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Again, explain why there are eighty four games of them
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: to balance out the schedule with thirty two teams, so
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: that you're like some teams in the you know, some
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: teams would play three times, some teams we played two times, or.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Everybody from the East it's home and home. But then
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: some teams out west into a different division, you're playing
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: three times or two times. You see what I'm saying.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: And so this should balance things out.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: So like cut off a couple of preseason games, add
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: these onto the schedule.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: That is exactly correct. You don't need six preseason games anymore.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: I've always wondered when you flip a schedule like this,
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: and it's never been cutting games. That's never happened in
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: these leagues. It's always been expanding the schedule. When the
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: NFL went from sixteen games to seventeen games, there's a
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: lot of guys that played in the eighties and nineties
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: that were like, well, all of our records are going
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: to get broken.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Now, this isn't fair. Do NHL guys think that way?
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Well, hang on a second.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: They also broke a lot of records of guys who
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: played fourteen games in a season.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Understood, understood, but it does kind of mess with the
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: math on you know what I mean? What is okay
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: a quarterback had a five thousand yard season or running
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: back had a two thousand yard season like that was
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: that was a huge thing.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: But with an extra game.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: Well no back of the fourteen game schedule, a thousand
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: yard season was a big thing.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly exactly.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: But I don't know that they're too broken up about that, Brett.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think they are.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I'm rereading the classic seventy seven, the Terry Frye Book,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: and this is on the seventy seven Broncos, and I'm
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: going through it and I'm like, oh wait, they only
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: played fourteen games back then do you know that that
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: season going into that Super Bowl year for the Broncos
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: in seventy seven, they played six preseason games.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Peter McNabb and the old Boston Bruins back in
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: the day. So how long is training camp for the Abs?
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Training camp in the preseason?
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Three days?
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: It's gonna I mean, training camp itself is like, yeah,
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: three and a half days, and then you play some
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: preseason games, which I guess is technically still training camp.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You play four of those.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Now, they used to have a month back in the day,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: and the Boston Bruins would Barton storm all over in
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: New England. They play like ten preseason games, twelve.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I mean twelve.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: They go everywhere and play all the time. Yeah, I mean,
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: but but back in the day, you needed that, Vic,
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: you needed eight hundred guys in the training camp. You know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: camp was a way to get guys back in shape
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: after you know, working wherever they did in the offseason
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: and drinking beer. Now, I mean, these guys come it's
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: a year round thing and they come in perfect for
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: the most part.
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll get some release of the schedule, at least
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: today with the opening or the the entire release coming tomorrow,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: we'll talk to Eric Musselman, former Arkansas coach, the coach
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: Trevon Brazil, now head coach of USC basketball in about
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: fifteen minutes Stagram. All right, Eric Musselman is going to
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: join us in fifteen minutes as he will give us
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: a breakdown of his former player Trevan Brazil. So that
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: happens at eight o'clock. I do have a question for you, guys.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I've got several.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: We're gonna finish this off because there's only one more
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: left after this.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: By the way, we've bounced all over the place in
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: the last forty five.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a terrible first. It's been weird three segments.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, your your job is to keep us out
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: of the guardrails, and you are mean, look at my face,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Look at Vick.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: He's an idiot. You are you're feeling miserably at this.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: It's the summer. If you want to yell at Alan
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: for having the name Allen, I think that's funny.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: And it's not like a L L E. And it's
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: al A.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, isn't that best?
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Your mom was Thurston not available?
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, let's see that doesn't She wasn't from here she's
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: not from Denver.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: So telling me Brandt was not available with the DT.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: With the DT on the end of Brandt.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: Executives, coaches, scouts naming the top ten players at positions
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: for ESPN they had the wide receivers today. Here's my
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: question for you, Uh, Jalen Model is in the others
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: receiving votes? Thing I counted out, he'd be like twenty
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: fourth or something on this list.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Fine.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: At number seven is George Pickens and at number nine
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: is AJ Brown, two players that Broncos fans were kicking
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: around the idea. Pickens obviously had the contract dispute with Dallas.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: He's gonna play on the franchise tag this year kind
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: of against his will. And AJ Brown wanted out of
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Philly and he got the trade to New England. If
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: I gave you those three options right now and said
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: all money's equal and it's a one for one trade,
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: would you take Jaalen Wadel over those two?
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Or not?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Well, hold on'd you say you say yes or no?
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: I said no, Well hold on a second, let me
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: explain why I would Because with Pickens and Brown, while
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: they are superb talents, they come with a certain pinache.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: That you are going to have to deal with. But
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: that's a lot of great receivers understood.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Well, Jaylen Waddell doesn't seem to have that, bro But
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: he's not.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: A great receiver. He's a receiver, a pretty damn good one,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: but not a great receiver.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right now yeah, okay, well.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Then why canby? But he's not.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: What I don't want to do is I don't want
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: to install an element in my roster. This is me personally.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: Now that not everybody's the greatest person in the world,
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: and so on.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: And so forth.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: But when you know you've got a diva coming in,
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: do you want do you want to throw diva into
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: your room?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: That's the question?
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Do you want to throw diva in there? I agree
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: because Pickens is a diva. He was a diva in Pittsburgh,
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: is a as a rookie. It was a diva to
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: get his way to Dallas. Has been a diva in Dallas.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: And we all know about aj Brown.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: You know. It's funny in that respect. The Denver Broncos
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: have been some of the most blessed some of these
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: teams and receivers that have played here, Like I can
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: identify the two greatest receivers in Broncos history as the
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: two of the lowest maintenance receivers ever. And if you
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: think about it, Wow, Rod Smith, you talk about low
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: maintenance and blue collar Damarius Thomas, you talk about low
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: maintenance and blue collar receivers.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: They were total that, total pros.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: They did their job, they packed their lunch pail and
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: they worked and they were great.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: But most just to echo what you're saying, moj, there's
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of receivers in this league who are very
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: high profile, very high maintenance, but very very good.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: I agree with you, Mosh.
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: I just I think that if we're just basing this
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: off of talent, are both of those guys more talented
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: than Jaylen Waddel at the moment? Yes they are. They're
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: the prototypical wide out right. They're six foot four, huge,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: catch radius, big, physical, fast, strong, all the things that
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: you want, but I don't want. I said it from
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: the very beginning, before Jalen Waddle was even on the table.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: We were throwing out the idea, this was months ago,
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: of would you take Pickens or would you take aj
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Brown on this team?
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: What was my answer? Now? Like, there is nothing about
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: them that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: Fits what the Broncos are as a cohesive team unit.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Right now, there's Courtland Sutton. I went through this the
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: other day. He had I think three maybe four games
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: last year where he had one catch or no catches,
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: not a peep. In fact, they asked him at about
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: it after a game and they said, I know you
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: guys won, but do you feel the offense almost prodding
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: him into give me the diva answer?
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Give me the diva answer? And what did he say?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: We got the win?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: And maybe he did deep down, but he's not gonna
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: say that out out loud. I just think from when
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: a coach takes over a team and the first thing
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: they say at the microphone is what we're gonna change
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: the culture. Peyton changed the culture, And now do you
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: want to invite somebody like that into it. I'm trying
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: to think in his time as a coach in the NFL,
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: has he had a super diva player on any of
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: his rosters? But uh, it doesn't feel like it was
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: Michael Thomas. A little bit of that maybe maybe a
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: little bit before.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: You with the contract dispute thing, and.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Well you know it's wanted to get your money. Is
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: one thing, but causing drama. To cause drama is something
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: that's completely different.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not over the top, guys. Now, he's transformed some dudes.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jeremy Shockey was a little over the top
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: and the Giants organization came to Orleans and change.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: I just I don't think he's ever. I don't think
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: he ever wants to deal with a potential problem like that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: And maybe, you know what, perhaps Sean Payton is so
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: good in that category that he's got the structure where
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: he can he can put it on that stuff.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know when did Sean Payton take over the Saints.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: That six or something. I'm trying to it was pre Katrina, Okay.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to think if he had Joe Horn because
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Joe was a little.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well but he wasn't.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: But he wasn't, but he wasn't. He was. I don't
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: think he's a locker room problem. And you know, I'm
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: just trying to imagine here.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't think at two thousand and six
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: the irony of Sean Payton. And you're so right, he
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: just doesn't suffer fools. He doesn't do this stuff. He
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: just wants ballers who want to remain ballers and nothing more.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Sean Payton has evidenced by the recent article and we've
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: seen it, he's the diva.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Everybody else you play, I'll be I'll play that role. Yeah,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: and I mean that in a respectful way, right right right,
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: by the way.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: The whole list here, Jamar Chase was number one, Justin
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: Jefferson was two, jsni Is three.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Hookah four, Hookah four, Wow.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Aman Ross Saint Brown five, Ceedee Lamb six, Picking seven,
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Nico Collins eight, AJ Brown nine, and DeVante Adams still
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: is number ten.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: He's he's a good player.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Man, Davante.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty three too.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: He's still a really good player.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: Are you surprised there's there's twenty five names on this list.
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: I've actually asked this question before. I guess this is
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: the answer. So with the honorable mentions and then the
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: also receiving votes thing I've asked before. Do you think
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Courtland Sutton's a top twenty five wide receiver in this course?
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: He is? Well, you didn't get any.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Votes, Well, he is.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: The games, Yeah, he is.
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: The other guys that I mentioned here, by the way,
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Alec Pierce, T. Higgins, DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin, Garrett Wilson,
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: DeVante Smith, Lad McConkie, Brian Thomas Junior, Jayalen Waddel, Chris o'love.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Those are all really good players too.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: They have Jaalen Wattle ahead of Courtland Sutton.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Jalen.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Do you guys, who do you think is a better receiver?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Vic?
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: I that's Jalen.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: That's kind of an unfair question.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: And Jalen wattles and Jalen Waddell has been the number
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: two at his spot.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: He's been the second option.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: Again. I guess I'm in that prove it to me mode, right,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: I've seen enough Courtland Sutton over the years to know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, when they go to him, he produces. He's
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: produced some of the most remarkable catches in the NFL
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: over the last three years.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: Before Tua's brain got a little bit scrambled. I mean,
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: the first year in the league for Jalen Waddle, he
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: had one hundred and four catches for one thousand yards
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: and six touchdowns.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: This is his rookie season.
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: And then it was sort of like Tua would play
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: five games, miss four weeks. You know that sort of thing,
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: right now, Courtland Sutton, if we're doing that argument, has
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: done the same thing. Like he's hot passes from Drew
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: Locke and Teddy Bridgewater and Joe Flacco and Brett Rippon
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: and go down the list. I mean million different guys,
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: not exactly all pros, I guess, is what I'm saying.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: Like if I ask you right now, who leads the
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: Broncos and catches this year, do you think it's Sutton
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: or Wattleton.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Courtland Sutton.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: Could be it depends on how they want to use
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: Jalen Model. I'll tell you one thing I'm excited about,
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: and I hope they take this from the Miami offense. Now,
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: this was more of Tyreek Hill's role than Jalen Models.
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: You know what I'd love to see though, Now that
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: you finally got speed at that position, do what they
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: did with Tyreek. Put him in motion pre snap like
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: across the line of scrimmage. Snap the ball as he's
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: on a dead sprint going laterally and make the corner.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Make the decision.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: Do I get into a deep backpedal to make sure
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: I don't get beat over the top, Because if you
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: do that plan, a foot cut inside, slamming round.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, it feels like it feels like free yards.
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: It feels free, easy yards if you utilize them correct.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Think about it being a corner though, and that's happening.
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: You've got a guy who's that fast, running full speed
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: before the ball is snapped and you're like, where am.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: I gonna go?
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Moser. Had you invested the time to read that wonderful
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: article by Seth Wickersham, I read it, you would know,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: had you invested the time before we did the interview,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: you would know that part of that article got into
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: the minutia of just play calling, about how they're breaking
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: down certain plays and saying, Okay, we'll have the receiver
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: stop a yard shorter, or we'll have the receiver go
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: a different angle and the round. It's so detailed, how
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: to be the defense so ridiculously detailed what they get into.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: That's what my biggest takeaway from that article is that
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent of the game plan, you're working all
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: these hours through the night and you got all these
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: plays and what five percent are used? The rest are
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: just trash. Yeah, the game.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like, my, oh my god, my game
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: notes for hockey. Yeah, I used to I used to it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: It used to be extravagan more extravagant than it is now.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: By the end of the game, I'm like, I want
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: to have it just in case. But by the end
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: of the game, I'm like, I used maybe twelve percent
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: of all this stuff that I spent two hours writing down.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: You're prepared, Yeah, but I write them. I'm a writer
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: so far, yes I am. But now I'm like, look,
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: do they really need to know where the rookie where
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: he played high school hockey?
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: You know it's oh, you've did a couple of years
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: of the U D d D. The people would give
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: a crap about that crap.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: Yah, dude, you know that whatever.
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: Okay, uh, we'll take a break. Care get to Eric Musselman.
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: He was the coach of the man just scored thirty
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: two points in Nuggets summer League.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: That is Trevor Brazil. Eric Musselman joins US next
