- 0:18Speaker 2: And the Denver Broncos have won their 16th straight one-score
- 0:23Speaker 2: game in the regular season.
- 0:25Speaker 3: That is a.
- 0:26Speaker 4: New NFL record. Victory formation, it's over. Denver 26, Carolina 21.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Part of it pisses me off because there's been a
- 0:37Speaker 2: few of them that you would say shouldn't have been
- 0:40Speaker 2: one-score games.
- 0:41Speaker 5: And then obviously there's some that are.
- 0:43Speaker 2: And it's not that you're never satisfied, but we still
- 0:46Speaker 2: have some– work to do. When those things keep falling
- 0:49Speaker 2: your way, then that's not by accident.
- 0:52Speaker 5: I don't care.
- 0:52Speaker 6: At the end of the day, in 10, 15 years,
- 0:55Speaker 6: nobody's going to care about it, and they're going to
- 0:57Speaker 6: talk about wins instead.
- 0:59Speaker 5: Of the streak.
- 1:02Speaker 4: It's cool right now, and it's great as we go,
- 1:04Speaker 4: but it definitely would be nice to win by more
- 1:08Speaker 4: than a score. It's a Rally House football.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Monday.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Rally House, shop every team in town.
- 1:18Speaker 6: Vic the Leprechaun is with us because he was in
- 1:20Speaker 6: South Bend this weekend in what was a wild finish
- 1:23Speaker 6: to a game, but they do get the win, so
- 1:25Speaker 6: I'm sure we'll hear a lot about that later in
- 1:28Speaker 6: the show.
- 1:29Speaker 3: No butts. Remove that butt from your mouth.
- 1:32Speaker 6: There's one butt at the very end of it.
- 1:35Speaker 3: You take that butt right out of your mouth.
- 1:38Speaker 4: That much butt? You know what?
- 1:43Speaker 6: It's interesting in watching this game yesterday because the Broncos,
- 1:47Speaker 6: it's what I thought would happen. The Broncos are a
- 1:49Speaker 6: better football team. The Broncos don't lose to teams that
- 1:52Speaker 6: they are favored against, and they will find a way
- 1:54Speaker 6: to win, but it'll probably be a game that's close.
- 1:57Speaker 6: The way you got there was crazy. They start the game, Vic.
- 2:02Speaker 6: This was another game in which I thought the offense
- 2:03Speaker 6: took another step forward.
- 2:05Speaker 3: It's slow.
- 2:05Speaker 6: It's baby steps, but they're getting there. Throwing the ball
- 2:09Speaker 6: deep early in the game.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Actually attempting the forward pass.
- 2:16Speaker 6: In the way that it was designed, which is not
- 2:19Speaker 6: forward like two yards forward, like 25 yards down the
- 2:22Speaker 6: field forward.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:24Speaker 6: It was, you know, going deep to Cortland Sutton, one-on-one situations,
- 2:29Speaker 6: you know, drawing pass interference calls. Like all of that
- 2:32Speaker 6: is great. And then you hit a lull in the
- 2:35Speaker 6: middle and the Panthers worked their way back. But what
- 2:40Speaker 6: do the Broncos do? This is the most tried and
- 2:43Speaker 6: true thing that will happen in a Broncos game. The
- 2:47Speaker 6: score is 14-13. The Panthers are at the one-yard line
- 2:50Speaker 6: with a chance to go up eight points in the
- 2:54Speaker 6: fourth quarter. In a play in which everybody thought was dead,
- 2:59Speaker 6: ball bounces up in the air just right to the
- 3:01Speaker 6: arms of Devon Key standing in the end zone, and
- 3:03Speaker 6: they're like, oh, all right, let's move on to second down.
- 3:06Speaker 4: And they go, wait a minute. I think that hit
- 3:09Speaker 4: the dude's hand. And not the turf.
- 3:12Speaker 6: And ever since then, Vic, you get the one lucky
- 3:15Speaker 6: break to go your way and you flood gates open.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Is Key the same guy who made that tackle down
- 3:21Speaker 3: the stretch in the goal line stand against Kansas City?
- 3:24Speaker 4: No, that was Skinner.
- 3:25Speaker 3: That was Skinner. Okay, that was the other backup safety. Correct.
- 3:27Speaker 3: So think about the plays the backup safeties have made.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Think about this for a second. I mean, they have
- 3:35Speaker 3: made game-saving, game-changing plays. Working for the starting safeties.
- 3:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Remarkable stuff, man. It really is. Again, another Broncos game
- 3:46Speaker 3: in which, yeah, you're uneasy. Like at that point, you're
- 3:49Speaker 3: uneasy because Carolina's got a chance to go up two scores, right?
- 3:53Speaker 3: You're uneasy, but you're not panicking. And as a fan,
- 3:57Speaker 3: if you're not panicking, imagine the players. They're fine. They're fine.
- 4:01Speaker 3: And that is the Broncos' superpower. The ability to just
- 4:05Speaker 3: be chill when everything is chaotic.
- 4:08Speaker 6: They are the most comfortable team in uncomfortable nature.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yes.
- 4:12Speaker 4: But they are super uncomfortable when things are comfortable.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It's weird.
- 4:16Speaker 4: It's like they need to be prodded a little bit.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Yeah, when they have a lead, like even late when
- 4:21Speaker 3: it looked like the game was over.
- 4:23Speaker 7: It wasn't over.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. The touchdown pass to Pat Bryant, you're like, okay, now,
- 4:27Speaker 3: all right, it's over. Let's go ahead and finish.
- 4:28Speaker 4: I gave my buddy a fist bump. Congrats. Your team won.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Good job.
- 4:33Speaker 3: And then it's not.
- 4:34Speaker 7: Nope.
- 4:35Speaker 3: And then it's not. You're right. That's how they operate.
- 4:39Speaker 4: But here's the thing. I am not complaining at all
- 4:43Speaker 4: this morning. I think that's a great win.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I totally agree.
- 4:45Speaker 4: I think that game was set up for you to fail.
- 4:48Speaker 4: You overcame some.
- 4:49Speaker 6: Of the stuff that we talked about, which is maybe
- 4:51Speaker 6: riding those emotional highs from last week, looking ahead to
- 4:54Speaker 6: the bye week. Guys go down in the middle of
- 4:56Speaker 6: that game. You lose Waddle to a concussion. You lose
- 4:58Speaker 6: Moss to a concussion. And you find a way to
- 5:01Speaker 6: grit it out.
- 5:02Speaker 7: And.
- 5:03Speaker 4: I think the offense looked fine.
- 5:05Speaker 6: You know, I set a low bar for them, but
- 5:07Speaker 6: I think over the last three weeks, they've hurtled the
- 5:10Speaker 6: low bar that we've set.
- 5:11Speaker 3: You know, Brett, in my world travels, I've noticed every
- 5:15Speaker 3: NFL team and every NFL fan base after a weekend,
- 5:19Speaker 3: even a weekend victory, everybody has something to grumble about.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Like even the Bears fans, they had something to grumble
- 5:26Speaker 3: about the way that finished yesterday.
- 5:28Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:28Speaker 3: And I think that's what we like to do now.
- 5:30Speaker 3: We grumble a little more often because... No team in
- 5:33Speaker 3: the league right now can say they've won 16 straight
- 5:35Speaker 3: one-score games. No team can say that. In the history
- 5:38Speaker 3: of the league, nobody can say that. Hasn't it happened
- 5:41Speaker 3: once before?
- 5:42Speaker 4: 16's a brand new number, baby.
- 5:43Speaker 3: It's a new number?
- 5:44Speaker 4: Okay.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Yeah, no team can do that. No fan base can
- 5:46Speaker 3: do that. So, yeah, grumble away. But at the end
- 5:50Speaker 3: of the day, this team, you're so right, is comfortable
- 5:54Speaker 3: being uncomfortable. And that makes me comfortable. It makes me
- 5:58Speaker 3: comfortable to know that my team is uncomfortable, and at
- 6:01Speaker 3: times being comfortable being uncomfortable makes me comfortable.
- 6:05Speaker 6: Texture says this. I don't want to hear anything about
- 6:07Speaker 6: this defense being good this game. They were not outside
- 6:10Speaker 6: of several big plays.
- 6:10Speaker 4: They were trash. Let me explain something to you, though.
- 6:14Speaker 6: I don't care what you guys think about the Carolina Panthers.
- 6:19Speaker 6: They're a difficult team to defend. They have talent on
- 6:21Speaker 6: the offensive side. I think Bryce Young is blossoming into
- 6:24Speaker 6: a really, really good quarterback. Some of the throws that
- 6:27Speaker 6: he made in that game, Vic, tight window, timing throws,
- 6:31Speaker 6: Chuba Hubbard's good in the backfield.
- 6:32Speaker 4: That's a good offense you faced.
- 6:34Speaker 6: You're without your starting two safeties in your number two corner,
- 6:38Speaker 6: you know, a quarter and a half into that game.
- 6:40Speaker 6: You're going to struggle a bit against a team that's
- 6:43Speaker 6: good throwing the football. What I didn't expect, Vic, I
- 6:46Speaker 6: didn't expect that Darren Waller to turn back the clock
- 6:48Speaker 6: to 2019.
- 6:49Speaker 4: That was weird.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Did you see that? Yeah, Waller was out there balling.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Did you see that graphic that ESPN put up there
- 6:58Speaker 3: about total yards and margin and where the Broncos stand?
- 7:02Speaker 4: No, they've been out gained, I think, in almost every
- 7:04Speaker 4: single week.
- 7:05Speaker 3: They're minus 699 in yards. Yeah. Minus 699, which means, yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 3: they'll give you a few, but they're not going to
- 7:13Speaker 3: let you in. Now, when the game's on the line.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing.
- 7:18Speaker 6: It's like, The Panthers get the ball back, and oh
- 7:21Speaker 6: my God, man. Another example of the Broncos just can't
- 7:26Speaker 6: be comfortable. You got a chance to ice the game,
- 7:30Speaker 6: you're up five. You throw a pitch to Jonah Coleman
- 7:33Speaker 6: that hits him in the shoulder face area. Well, it
- 7:36Speaker 6: was back there. He got his hands up, didn't make
- 7:38Speaker 6: the catch. And I thought, oh my goodness. are the
- 7:42Speaker 6: Panthers going to jump on this football at the 20
- 7:44Speaker 6: yard line with a chance to win?
- 7:45Speaker 3: That was scary.
- 7:46Speaker 4: So the Broncos got the ball.
- 7:48Speaker 6: Back, but Vic, you completely flipped the field position in
- 7:51Speaker 6: one play. So now you're giving them all the ball
- 7:53Speaker 6: at the 50 after a punt.
- 7:55Speaker 4: But what happens?
- 7:57Speaker 6: Nick Benito shows up strip sack. We're fine guys.
- 8:01Speaker 3: We got you. See, I think the offense and defense
- 8:03Speaker 3: compliment each other so well in those moments, in those
- 8:06Speaker 3: heroic moments, like they need a, they needed an heroic
- 8:09Speaker 3: moment at that point. And, Benito pulls a Von Miller
- 8:13Speaker 3: and says, I got you. Yeah. Calm down. Calm down. But,
- 8:16Speaker 3: you know, it's interesting, that pitch play. The inability at
- 8:20Speaker 3: times for this team to just line up and say,
- 8:23Speaker 3: we are going to run, announce to the other team, hey, hey,
- 8:26Speaker 3: we're going to run it. They can't do it.
- 8:29Speaker 6: Well, we'll talk to Schefter in an hour.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Things are happening already, by the way, bro.
- 8:36Speaker 7: What's that?
- 8:37Speaker 3: Things are happening. Oh, I know.
- 8:38Speaker 6: Jesse Bates was traded this morning for a second and
- 8:41Speaker 6: a fifth as he goes to Jacksonville.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Are we all on the Brett Cain train now? Got
- 8:47Speaker 4: to do something?
- 8:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you have to do something
- 8:51Speaker 3: for the sake of doing it, even though, again, they've
- 8:53Speaker 3: won five in a row. They lead the AFC West.
- 8:57Speaker 3: They have the second-best record in the AFC.
- 9:00Speaker 6: Could be first by the end of tonight, depending if
- 9:02Speaker 6: the Bills lose to Minnesota.
- 9:04Speaker 3: You would think at this point, yeah, all is well.
- 9:06Speaker 3: But I think we recognize that you need something, a
- 9:11Speaker 3: charge somewhere, somehow, a spark. And why not? What are
- 9:15Speaker 3: you saving it for?
- 9:17Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing, man. You are once again... Like,
- 9:22Speaker 4: we thought, Vic, that it would.
- 9:23Speaker 6: Be almost impossible for this team to get back to
- 9:26Speaker 6: 14 wins, right? They're well on their way to going
- 9:30Speaker 6: back to 14 wins. Like, they're well on their way.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Hell yeah, they are.
- 9:33Speaker 3: I mean, at this point, you look at the rest
- 9:36Speaker 3: of the schedule and you say to yourself, Oh, remember
- 9:40Speaker 3: how we kept saying, how can they do this every week?
- 9:42Speaker 3: Can you look at the rest of the schedule? Yeah,
- 9:45Speaker 3: they can do that again.
- 9:46Speaker 6: They have two really difficult games left too. And they're
- 9:49Speaker 6: back-to-back weeks starting on Christmas. It's the bills and it's
- 9:52Speaker 6: the Patriots. They have a quasi tough one. I think
- 9:54Speaker 6: they play on the road at Pittsburgh sometime in the next,
- 9:57Speaker 6: in the middle of this five game stretch.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Um, but if you're going to be back in that position.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Then you operate as if you're winning the super bowl
- 10:05Speaker 6: this year, which means sell out, man, go get something,
- 10:09Speaker 6: get something to help out your backfield, help out the
- 10:11Speaker 6: depth in that backfield. Um, Jonah Coleman, you know, everybody
- 10:15Speaker 6: talked about this was going to be the week that
- 10:16Speaker 6: the Broncos running games really starts getting going because the
- 10:19Speaker 6: Panthers defense stinks. I mean, Jonah had some nice moments
- 10:23Speaker 6: in that game, but at the end of the day, Vic,
- 10:25Speaker 6: it was 17 carries for 57 yards.
- 10:28Speaker 4: What's really interesting, did this surprise you?
- 10:32Speaker 3: J.K.
- 10:32Speaker 4: Dobbins, like, didn't get the football at all.
- 10:35Speaker 6: We know that Sean Payton likes to run with a
- 10:37Speaker 6: multi-back backfield.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Dobbins got four carries. Jonah Coleman got 17. I think
- 10:41Speaker 4: that tells you a lot.
- 10:43Speaker 3: That's going to be a weird deal moving forward. Like,
- 10:47Speaker 3: your top running back that you paid a little bit
- 10:49Speaker 3: of money to in the offseason, if you do go
- 10:52Speaker 3: get another runner, what happens? Like, you just keep him
- 10:56Speaker 3: in the back of the stable. Will he be okay
- 10:59Speaker 3: with that? Will he murmur? Will he rumble?
- 11:02Speaker 4: My way of looking at it would be like, how
- 11:07Speaker 4: do I put this?
- 11:09Speaker 3: J.K.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Dobbins is not good enough this year for me to
- 11:12Speaker 4: care about how he feels. Just being honest.
- 11:15Speaker 6: So if he wants to be upset about this and
- 11:18Speaker 6: be some sort of malcontent, then I'll just cut you
- 11:20Speaker 6: if I make a move for a running back. I
- 11:22Speaker 6: don't know how else to put it because there's... You
- 11:26Speaker 6: are on a path to making a Super Bowl you
- 11:30Speaker 6: do not have time to worry about if people don't
- 11:33Speaker 6: like the role on this roster.
- 11:35Speaker 4: You just don't.
- 11:37Speaker 3: And again.
- 11:38Speaker 6: I don't know if you heard Jonathan Taylor after that
- 11:40Speaker 6: Colts game. Vic, he did a farewell press conference in
- 11:43Speaker 6: the locker room. He did the, I really appreciated.
- 11:47Speaker 4: My time in Indianapolis thing.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Well, they've all been doing that, man. The whole team
- 11:51Speaker 3: is giving it bow. It's ridiculous. Have you seen, by
- 11:56Speaker 3: the way, have you seen a sell-off of this nature
- 11:58Speaker 3: like the Colts are doing this year? I don't remember
- 12:00Speaker 3: this in the NFL. I don't remember a team before
- 12:02Speaker 3: the deadline just fire-sailing everybody.
- 12:06Speaker 6: Well, the The problem for them, I think they feel
- 12:11Speaker 6: like they have to. Because remember, they gave up two
- 12:14Speaker 6: firsts last year for Sauce Gardner because they thought they
- 12:16Speaker 6: were Super Bowl contenders.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Sure.
- 12:18Speaker 4: And now they're tearing it down. They're like, well, we
- 12:20Speaker 4: need capital back.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:22Speaker 4: In a hurry.
- 12:23Speaker 3: But the assemblage was quick. And now the disassembles even faster.
- 12:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:27Speaker 3: It's fast. I mean, that house of cards is coming down.
- 12:31Speaker 3: They're making sure. All those notes she's taken, she's taking
- 12:33Speaker 3: those notes furiously right now.
- 12:35Speaker 6: Notes are you gone, you gone, you gone. But anyway,
- 12:41Speaker 6: I don't care what anybody says. I think that's a
- 12:43Speaker 6: fantastic win yesterday. It didn't look pretty.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Fine.
- 12:47Speaker 6: I thought that that game, it played out almost the
- 12:51Speaker 6: exact way I thought it would in which you looked
- 12:54Speaker 6: to be the better team. But there was just a
- 12:57Speaker 6: lot about that game. Emotional high. leading into bye week,
- 13:02Speaker 6: the following week, all these different things where you could
- 13:05Speaker 6: have been set up for some trouble and you weathered
- 13:07Speaker 6: it and got through it, which is all you had
- 13:09Speaker 6: to do. Now, Vic, you look ahead. Safety room, I
- 13:13Speaker 6: would assume after the bye week is going to be healthy.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Hufanga was practicing this week, just didn't play in the game.
- 13:18Speaker 6: So I'd assume he's back after the bye. Brandon Jones,
- 13:20Speaker 6: I think will be enough time for him to get
- 13:22Speaker 6: back in the lineup. It'll be enough time for both
- 13:24Speaker 6: Waddle and Riley Moss, I would assume, to clear concussion protocol.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Perfect time for a bye.
- 13:30Speaker 7: Yep.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Perfect time. Mark Mosher, why is your hair all jacked up?
- 13:34Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, dude. This is a really bad
- 13:36Speaker 7: look for me. I'm at the airport. I got to
- 13:38Speaker 7: be on a plane in about 45 minutes to go
- 13:40Speaker 7: to Toronto. This is really bad. Yeah, the whole thing
- 13:44Speaker 7: is really bad. Guys, Brett, let me say this. As
- 13:46Speaker 7: we get to the first break of the day, okay,
- 13:50Speaker 7: I listened to you the entire way in, the entire
- 13:53Speaker 7: appetizer hour. It took me forever to get out of here. Yeah.
- 13:57Speaker 7: I don't know that I have ever agreed with you
- 14:00Speaker 7: more in my entire life than I do today. I
- 14:04Speaker 7: think your analysis was right on the money. I'm not
- 14:08Speaker 7: going to call you brilliant, but I'm going to call
- 14:09Speaker 7: you correct. I'm going to call you accurate.
- 14:15Speaker 6: You called me a wuss in the pregame show for
- 14:17Speaker 6: saying the game was going to be close.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Mojo, I will call you late.
- 14:21Speaker 7: Well, thanks. Oh, where's me lucky charge? Jackass. I'm just
- 14:32Speaker 7: saying I think you're right on the money. Dude, I
- 14:36Speaker 7: have problems because I'm a science guy, right? I like science.
- 14:40Speaker 7: When we come back, I'm going to explain to you
- 14:45Speaker 7: science versus the universe. And, Vic, I know you're going
- 14:49Speaker 7: to love this. God dang that hat.
- 14:53Speaker 4: A very smart man once said.
- 14:54Speaker 7: Stupid jackass, South Bend jerk wagon.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Well, you've had it.
- 14:57Speaker 3: You've added a ton of content to this segment.
- 15:00Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Let me back you up.
- 15:02Speaker 7: You're welcome.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Let me back you up for a second.
- 15:03Speaker 6: There's a very wise man named Mac from It's Always
- 15:05Speaker 6: Sunny in Philadelphia who once said, science is a liar sometimes.
- 15:10Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you, Brett, when we come back,
- 15:12Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you, well... It might not be,
- 15:15Speaker 7: but I am so blown away by this Denver Broncos
- 15:19Speaker 7: team that I can't even fathom it.
- 15:20Speaker 6: So we'll get to that in just a couple of minutes.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Keep it covered. I wish I had a freaking leprechaun
- 15:27Speaker 6: hat like you have.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Keep that covered because it's poofy and weird.
- 15:30Speaker 6: We're going to get to a break because we have
- 15:32Speaker 6: a lot of things to discuss. Adam Schefter is going
- 15:34Speaker 6: to join us at 8 o'clock back after this.
- 15:36Speaker 7: Oingo Boingo, baby. Come on now.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Get some.
- 15:38Speaker 7: Get some Oingo Boingo going, baby.
- 15:40Speaker 4: So there's a lot we got to discuss from over
- 15:42Speaker 4: the weekend.
- 15:42Speaker 6: We had the trifecta of wins between the Broncos, the Avs,
- 15:46Speaker 6: and the Nuggets.
- 15:47Speaker 4: All of those teams playing well.
- 15:49Speaker 6: I'll just sort of repeat where we started this morning.
- 15:52Speaker 6: I think that's a great win. I don't know what
- 15:54Speaker 6: people feel about Carolina. I think you can clearly see
- 15:57Speaker 6: that Carolina has ability.
- 15:59Speaker 4: Like they have.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Talented players, especially on the offensive side. Bryce Young looks
- 16:03Speaker 6: like he's becoming a very good quarterback in this league.
- 16:07Speaker 6: They have very talented players in that offense. They're going
- 16:10Speaker 6: to push you if you make mistakes. And if you
- 16:12Speaker 6: go down three members of your secondary, which you did
- 16:15Speaker 6: after Riley Moss was hurt in that game, yeah, there's
- 16:17Speaker 6: going to be an extra stress on your defense. Coming
- 16:20Speaker 6: away with a win in a week that I think
- 16:22Speaker 6: felt like a trap game, but you were still the
- 16:25Speaker 6: better football team, good for you.
- 16:29Speaker 4: That's the way I look at it.
- 16:30Speaker 3: I'd like to have one of their tight ends. They
- 16:31Speaker 3: got two capable tight ends on that team.
- 16:33Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Do you ever look around at teams that you play
- 16:37Speaker 3: and say, gosh, I want that guy?
- 16:39Speaker 7: Yeah. You know, Peter McNabb and I, the late, great
- 16:43Speaker 7: Peter McNabb and I, we get on the airplane after
- 16:46Speaker 7: a game years ago. We played a game flying somewhere
- 16:50Speaker 7: between Winnipeg and Columbus or whatever. If you could take
- 16:53Speaker 7: one guy off the other team, one guy, and put
- 16:57Speaker 7: him on your team right now, who would it be?
- 16:59Speaker 7: Based on that game. We did that. Anyway, it was fun.
- 17:03Speaker 7: Good talk.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Okay.
- 17:07Speaker 7: I've got to get to science. I'm sorry.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 17:12Speaker 7: I only have, damn it, I only have another 36
- 17:14Speaker 7: minutes with you guys.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Hey, the stage is yours now that you've eliminated that
- 17:19Speaker 3: bouffant puff thing at the front of your head.
- 17:21Speaker 7: Dude, I know. It was so stupid. I hate my hair.
- 17:24Speaker 7: I do.
- 17:25Speaker 3: You're right. Go ahead.
- 17:26Speaker 7: So, Vic, you went to college. Brett, you went to college. Nelly,
- 17:30Speaker 7: you played flute in college, whatever it is you did.
- 17:33Speaker 7: All right, so there's at least a little advanced education
- 17:35Speaker 7: going on. Okay. As we sit here on this November 9th,
- 17:43Speaker 7: one of two things is true, okay? Either one of
- 17:46Speaker 7: these two things. The Broncos are a team of destiny.
- 17:50Speaker 7: What do you think about that statement? I think it's...
- 17:55Speaker 7: They are a team. Vic, they are a team of destiny.
- 17:58Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. Let me explain.
- 18:00Speaker 3: You can't use that. After last year's run.
- 18:03Speaker 7: Tommy Tremble. The Tommy Tremble hand. The end zone hand
- 18:08Speaker 7: does not happen in real life. I'm dead serious. It
- 18:13Speaker 7: doesn't happen to real human beings. It doesn't.
- 18:16Speaker 3: I don't buy that destiny thing. Suck it.
- 18:18Speaker 7: No, no, no, no. Dude, it doesn't happen in real life.
- 18:25Speaker 7: When you're falling down in the end zone and the
- 18:28Speaker 7: ball comes off your fingertips and goes into Q's hands
- 18:31Speaker 7: and he stands there like, what the hell just happened?
- 18:33Speaker 7: That doesn't happen in real life, okay?
- 18:35Speaker 3: I know.
- 18:36Speaker 7: That's destiny. I'm just telling you that's the universe talking.
- 18:38Speaker 3: But it happened early in the game. Things happen. It doesn't, Matt.
- 18:41Speaker 7: It doesn't. What do you mean early in the game?
- 18:43Speaker 3: You make it sound like every single break has gone
- 18:46Speaker 3: the Broncos' way. They've had breaks against them, too. Calm down.
- 18:49Speaker 7: You're right, Vic, but what I'm trying... Just for the.
- 18:52Speaker 6: Record, the hand of God that Mosher's talking about, that
- 18:55Speaker 6: happened in the fourth quarter with the chance for them
- 18:57Speaker 6: to go up eight points.
- 18:58Speaker 7: Yeah, you idiot. It was 14-13. Listen, what I'm trying
- 19:01Speaker 7: to tell you.
- 19:03Speaker 6: End of the third quarter, I should say.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Okay.
- 19:07Speaker 7: Nobody listens. What I'm trying to tell you is that
- 19:09Speaker 7: just doesn't happen. Brett, I texted you and DMACC, right?
- 19:17Speaker 3: Yep.
- 19:17Speaker 7: What I'm trying to tell you, they have to be,
- 19:19Speaker 7: I don't know what it means, Vic, esoterically. I don't
- 19:24Speaker 7: know what team of destiny means. I don't know what
- 19:27Speaker 7: that means, okay? I can't define it for you. I
- 19:30Speaker 7: can't put it out on a piece of paper and
- 19:32Speaker 7: slide it across the table and say, hey, Vic, this
- 19:34Speaker 7: is what it means. I can't. What I'm telling you
- 19:37Speaker 7: is that what I see and what I'm witnessing doesn't
- 19:42Speaker 7: happen in real life to teams. It doesn't happen to
- 19:46Speaker 7: real human beings. That's one. That's the universe side. Now, Brett,
- 19:49Speaker 7: let's get to the science.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Side.
- 19:51Speaker 7: Newton's third law. Do you know what that means? Do
- 19:53Speaker 7: you know what that is?
- 19:55Speaker 4: I'm not a learned man, no.
- 19:56Speaker 7: Okay. Well, Sir Isaac Newton, he had three laws. Law
- 20:01Speaker 7: of inertia, the law of force and acceleration. That's one
- 20:03Speaker 7: and two. Law three is action and reaction. For every action.
- 20:08Speaker 3: Okay. The law of just puffy hair.
- 20:13Speaker 7: Okay, thank God I'm going to Canada.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 20:18Speaker 7: I don't want to be around either of you.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Law and order SVU?
- 20:22Speaker 3: Please.
- 20:23Speaker 7: Law and order SVU. So Newton's third law, for every action,
- 20:29Speaker 7: there's an equal and opposite reaction.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Correct.
- 20:33Speaker 7: So I think that applied last year to the Broncos
- 20:35Speaker 7: in the AFC title game. You're skating by. You're doing this.
- 20:39Speaker 7: You're doing that. You're pulling rabbits out of your tail. You're,
- 20:42Speaker 7: you know, Tommy Tremble, hand of God stuff, right? So
- 20:47Speaker 7: one of these things is true. There's going to be
- 20:49Speaker 7: an equal and opposite reaction to all of this somewhere
- 20:53Speaker 7: down the line. And I don't know when that is.
- 20:55Speaker 7: It could be week 14. It could be the playoff
- 20:58Speaker 7: game one. It could be the AFC title game again.
- 21:00Speaker 7: It could be the Super Bowl, right? Either that's going
- 21:03Speaker 7: to happen or they are a team of destiny and
- 21:06Speaker 7: they're going to win the whole damn thing and it
- 21:08Speaker 7: doesn't matter what happens.
- 21:09Speaker 3: And you're right.
- 21:11Speaker 7: Things happen to the Broncos. They make their own luck
- 21:14Speaker 7: and so on. Vic, what I'm saying to you is
- 21:15Speaker 7: that these things keep happening at an inordinate rate for
- 21:21Speaker 7: a professional football team. Sean Payton was pissed in the postgame.
- 21:25Speaker 7: He was mad because he knows... that Newton's third law
- 21:28Speaker 7: is probably coming for him, or he's a team of destiny.
- 21:30Speaker 3: He accused a man of smoking a dart when he
- 21:34Speaker 3: was a pen.
- 21:34Speaker 7: I understand. That's what I'm talking about.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Here's Sean, though, in the postgame.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Part of it pisses me off because there's been a
- 21:41Speaker 2: few of them that you would say shouldn't have been
- 21:44Speaker 2: one-score games.
- 21:45Speaker 5: And then, obviously, there's some that are.
- 21:47Speaker 2: And it's not that you're never satisfied, but we still
- 21:50Speaker 2: have some work to do.
- 21:52Speaker 5: When those things keep falling your way, then that's not
- 21:55Speaker 5: by accident.
- 21:57Speaker 7: No, it's not by accident, but it's not. It may
- 22:01Speaker 7: be habitual, but it's got to change, and that's the
- 22:05Speaker 7: scary part about it. That's Newton's Law or universe. I'm
- 22:09Speaker 7: one or the other.
- 22:10Speaker 3: That's it.
- 22:10Speaker 7: I'll shut up now.
- 22:11Speaker 3: No, you don't have to shut up.
- 22:12Speaker 7: No, I'm going to shut up. No, you and your
- 22:14Speaker 7: stupid hat. I'm going to shut up.
- 22:15Speaker 3: After your confusing monologue, I can just tell you this.
- 22:17Speaker 3: It's pretty simple. It's very simple when you look at
- 22:20Speaker 3: the Broncos. The best way to be critical of your
- 22:23Speaker 3: team is in a way– You win the game and
- 22:27Speaker 3: then be critical. I mean, it's a coach's dream. They've
- 22:31Speaker 3: won five in a row, and you can be critical
- 22:33Speaker 3: of all five wins. Think about that for a second.
- 22:36Speaker 3: You can scrutinize all five wins, the little things that
- 22:39Speaker 3: aren't being done, but you won five in a row.
- 22:41Speaker 3: No more trying to explain this. No more trying to
- 22:45Speaker 3: come up with ridiculous scientific theories. laws about this. No more.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Just accept this. This is what it is.
- 22:52Speaker 7: Slandering Sir Isaac Newton. What a jerk.
- 22:55Speaker 3: Dude, somehow when I pick up a little machine in
- 22:58Speaker 3: my hand and I talk into it, I could speak
- 23:00Speaker 3: to somebody on the other side of the world. I
- 23:02Speaker 3: can't explain it. I just accept it.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing, though.
- 23:07Speaker 6: There's one, the detail that has kept consistent and true
- 23:13Speaker 6: through two years with this team Is if they are
- 23:16Speaker 6: given the opportunity to make you pay for a mistake
- 23:20Speaker 6: in a crucial moment, they do it.
- 23:22Speaker 3: You're damn right they do.
- 23:24Speaker 7: Yes, they do.
- 23:24Speaker 4: When they're on.
- 23:25Speaker 6: The doorstep of going up eight points heading into the
- 23:29Speaker 6: fourth quarter and you get. A texture says tipped interceptions
- 23:33Speaker 6: happen all the time. That wasn't some big offensive lineman
- 23:36Speaker 6: getting a paw on it and it popping up in
- 23:38Speaker 6: the air.
- 23:39Speaker 7: Correct.
- 23:39Speaker 6: That was the ball was hitting the turf and the
- 23:41Speaker 6: guy's hand was laying on the spot. It was going
- 23:43Speaker 6: to hit the turf and then pop back up.
- 23:45Speaker 7: It doesn't happen in real life. It doesn't.
- 23:47Speaker 4: But once that does happen.
- 23:51Speaker 6: The Broncos, whose offense was struggling at that time in
- 23:54Speaker 6: the game, then puts together an 80-yard touchdown drive to
- 23:58Speaker 6: take the lead again.
- 23:59Speaker 7: Yes.
- 23:59Speaker 6: And then they get the ball back, and they throw
- 24:01Speaker 6: another touchdown drive on top of you. If you're given
- 24:06Speaker 6: the opportunity to make a team pay, I've never seen
- 24:09Speaker 6: a team as consistently make you absolutely go to the
- 24:14Speaker 6: dirt face in the mud for a mistake that you made.
- 24:17Speaker 7: And this is why today, November 9th, 2026, is Brett's
- 24:21Speaker 7: day of all days. This is your day. I'm telling you, Brett,
- 24:25Speaker 7: this is your day because you are 1,000% correct. You'll
- 24:28Speaker 7: never hear this out of my face again.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Your reaction is awkward and weird this morning. Why?
- 24:33Speaker 7: Because... Because, dude, you know why, Vic? I'll tell you why. Dadgummit.
- 24:38Speaker 7: I got to get all this in now because I'm
- 24:39Speaker 7: going to be on a damn airplane in 30 minutes.
- 24:43Speaker 7: I can't understand it. I like to understand things, Vic.
- 24:47Speaker 7: I like to learn. I want to know. I need information, right? Knowledge.
- 24:53Speaker 7: What they're doing and what's happening with them, there's nothing
- 24:57Speaker 7: involved in that.
- 24:58Speaker 3: It happens. Moshe, it happens in the inverse, too. You're
- 25:01Speaker 3: the guy. who cheerleaded the L.A. Chargers like the second coming,
- 25:05Speaker 3: and look at them. They can do no right. Oh,
- 25:07Speaker 3: they suck. You can't explain it. No, I didn't cheerlead them.
- 25:10Speaker 3: They suck. You can't explain it, though. They have the quarterback.
- 25:13Speaker 3: They have the coach. They have all of it, but
- 25:14Speaker 3: you can't explain it. It's just happening. Quit trying to
- 25:18Speaker 3: explain it and enjoy it.
- 25:19Speaker 7: But that's what I need to do on this program.
- 25:22Speaker 7: That's what this program is about, explaining why things happen,
- 25:26Speaker 7: why the Broncos do this.
- 25:28Speaker 3: We don't explain crap.
- 25:29Speaker 7: They didn't even run the damn football. The Panthers' defense sucks.
- 25:35Speaker 7: Their run defense is terrible, and you couldn't run the ball,
- 25:38Speaker 7: but you pull out 26 points out of your tail.
- 25:42Speaker 7: It's incredible. I'm happy.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. It sounds like you're having a
- 25:46Speaker 3: nervous breakdown.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Hang on a second. This game, I think, is the most.
- 25:52Speaker 6: Understandable of ones, at least in recent memory. They actually
- 25:56Speaker 6: played a decent football game. Like, their offense moved the football.
- 25:59Speaker 4: Was it great?
- 26:00Speaker 6: No, but for their standards, they moved the football. They
- 26:03Speaker 6: were 6 of 10 on third down. Like, I think
- 26:05Speaker 6: they played a pretty normal football game in this one.
- 26:08Speaker 3: They didn't go into hibernation for a quarter and a
- 26:11Speaker 3: half in this game. They showed signs of life throughout
- 26:14Speaker 3: the game. Your reaction is weird. I mean, you should
- 26:19Speaker 3: be over that.
- 26:21Speaker 7: Okay.
- 26:21Speaker 3: You should be over that. I mean, they've done it
- 26:24Speaker 3: 16 straight times now. Get over it.
- 26:26Speaker 7: Okay, so what we're witnessing. So let me get this straight.
- 26:30Speaker 7: Let me get this straight. I'm sitting here at the
- 26:31Speaker 7: frigging airport. 16 straight one-score games, the Broncos have come
- 26:37Speaker 7: out on the correct side. Am I right about that? Yes. Moj.
- 26:41Speaker 4: An NFL record.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Moj. Explain how cell phones work. Explain it.
- 26:46Speaker 7: I can't. I'm like Chad Andrus. I can't. I don't
- 26:48Speaker 7: know how a phone works.
- 26:49Speaker 3: There it is.
- 26:50Speaker 7: I don't know. Why is there wind? How in the
- 26:54Speaker 7: hell is there wind? What makes wind? The molecules I
- 26:57Speaker 7: can't see and the trees blow? I don't know, Vic.
- 27:00Speaker 7: We are witnessing what I'm trying to tell you. You
- 27:03Speaker 7: guys just simply cannot understand a bigger concept, I guess.
- 27:07Speaker 7: We are witnessing NFL history right now. 16 straight one-score games,
- 27:13Speaker 7: and they win every single one of them. There's something
- 27:17Speaker 7: else at work here. Tommy Tremble's hand of God in
- 27:20Speaker 7: the end zone, and Q's sitting there going, thank you, Lord,
- 27:25Speaker 7: or thank you, universe, or whatever. I mean, the ball popped.
- 27:27Speaker 7: He's like, thank you. I mean, it's crazy.
- 27:30Speaker 4: Here's the thing, though.
- 27:31Speaker 6: Let's say that didn't happen, and the Carolina Panthers punch
- 27:34Speaker 6: that in for a touchdown, and they go up eight.
- 27:36Speaker 7: The game is totally different.
- 27:37Speaker 4: But do you know what I think happens?
- 27:38Speaker 7: What?
- 27:38Speaker 4: I think the Broncos win.
- 27:40Speaker 7: Okay.
- 27:40Speaker 4: Still. Down eight with a full quarter to go? Guess what?
- 27:44Speaker 4: That's where the Broncos live, baby.
- 27:46Speaker 3: You're right. I could give you every scenario. Let's say
- 27:48Speaker 3: they go up eight, and the Broncos, every single offensive
- 27:52Speaker 3: lineman gets hurt. They're drinking water that's contaminated. They start
- 27:56Speaker 3: vomiting violently, and they have to play defensive backs, and
- 28:00Speaker 3: they have to play running backs and defensive backs on
- 28:02Speaker 3: the O-line. Yeah, Broncos still win.
- 28:04Speaker 4: I'll tell you this much.
- 28:05Speaker 6: Do you know who made a huge impact in this game?
- 28:08Speaker 7: Running backs and DBs on the O-line?
- 28:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 28:10Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness. Okay.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Welcome back, Pat Bryant.
- 28:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 28:14Speaker 4: That guy made a difference immediately.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Yeah, the longest play of the game.
- 28:17Speaker 4: In a play in which you needed. You know what's funny?
- 28:20Speaker 3: Did you see what he did right after that, though?
- 28:22Speaker 3: He should know better.
- 28:24Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
- 28:25Speaker 3: Right after that touchdown catch he made. Did you see
- 28:28Speaker 3: what he did? I don't think I did.
- 28:30Speaker 4: What happened?
- 28:30Speaker 3: He pulled a Steph Curry sleepy night. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 28:33Speaker 3: And I said, ooh, it's a little early, Pat. It's
- 28:36Speaker 3: a little early. It was early. It was early to
- 28:40Speaker 3: pull the sleepy, sleepy.
- 28:41Speaker 6: But we all felt that way. It felt like the
- 28:43Speaker 6: game was going to be over, but whatever. His return
- 28:47Speaker 6: to the lineup meant a lot, especially when Jalen Waddell
- 28:50Speaker 6: gets hit and he goes out with the concussion.
- 28:52Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't like that at all. I did not
- 28:55Speaker 7: like that at all.
- 28:56Speaker 6: Well, he's got two weeks to pass protocol now, so
- 28:58Speaker 6: that's the good news. In the cases of both him
- 29:01Speaker 6: and Riley Moss, those guys have two weeks to clear
- 29:06Speaker 6: concussion protocol, get back in the lineup. I think they
- 29:09Speaker 6: should be fine. It's just a matter of, like, this
- 29:13Speaker 6: is where I disagree with you most. There's been plenty
- 29:15Speaker 6: of examples this year in which the Broncos have, like,
- 29:17Speaker 6: by miracles, come back to win football games.
- 29:21Speaker 4: That don't make a lot of sense.
- 29:22Speaker 6: That game just felt like a pretty normal football game
- 29:25Speaker 6: with a weird play mixed in.
- 29:26Speaker 3: On the Richter scale of comebacks and craziness, this is
- 29:31Speaker 3: a lower tremor.
- 29:33Speaker 7: Okay, you're right.
- 29:35Speaker 3: All right, rank them. Okay, 16 one-score games. Rank them
- 29:38Speaker 3: right now off the top of your head. your head.
- 29:40Speaker 7: To be honest, okay. I'll tell you right now, the
- 29:42Speaker 7: Giants game is number one. The Giants game is by
- 29:45Speaker 7: far number one. Kansas City game is number two. 33
- 29:48Speaker 7: points in the fourth quarter is insanity.
- 29:50Speaker 3: I think given the nature and the magnitude of the game,
- 29:53Speaker 3: Kansas City is number two. On that list.
- 29:56Speaker 4: Just as far as crazy comeback games?
- 29:58Speaker 7: Okay, Philly.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Unexpected wins.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Philly was that last year.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Philly is number three.
- 30:02Speaker 7: Let me explain. Nick Sirianni says we have the best
- 30:07Speaker 7: running back on planet Earth. The best on planet Earth.
- 30:11Speaker 7: And I'll tell you what we're going to do. Hey, guys,
- 30:13Speaker 7: I got it. I got it. We're not going to
- 30:15Speaker 7: give him the ball ever again. Yep. I mean, that
- 30:19Speaker 7: doesn't happen, bro. I'm telling you, these things don't happen
- 30:24Speaker 7: to real people.
- 30:25Speaker 3: So what's your problem?
- 30:27Speaker 7: I'm blown. I don't have a problem. I told you.
- 30:31Speaker 7: You don't listen. It's either Newton's third law or it's
- 30:35Speaker 7: the universe saying they're a team of destiny and nothing's
- 30:37Speaker 7: going to stand in their way. It's one or the other.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Okay, hang on a second.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Hang on.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Before we get to a break, I need to play
- 30:41Speaker 6: this for you guys because I just came across this
- 30:43Speaker 6: in the break. So you mentioned the Chargers earlier and
- 30:46Speaker 6: how they don't make sense because they were supposed to
- 30:49Speaker 6: be good, and they're terrible, right? Charlie Kohler, their tight
- 30:52Speaker 6: end on that team, asked a question after the game.
- 30:57Speaker 6: They went 37 consecutive offensive drives without a touchdown, and
- 31:05Speaker 6: they asked him about it?
- 31:07Speaker 4: I had a stretch of 37 straight drives without a touchdown.
- 31:10Speaker 7: 37?
- 31:10Speaker 8: 37 straight drives without a touchdown.
- 31:13Speaker 3: I wish you wouldn't have told me that.
- 31:14Speaker 8: I'm sorry, but it kind of.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Leads to the question of how do you find that
- 31:19Speaker 6: consistency in the midst of that?
- 31:20Speaker 7: 37? Yeah.
- 31:24Speaker 8: Honestly, you get so present. When you're losing, we're 0-8 now,
- 31:32Speaker 8: and you have to be... It's so hard mentally and
- 31:37Speaker 8: emotionally to be present. I didn't even know that. What
- 31:43Speaker 8: was the question?
- 31:46Speaker 6: Somebody said 37 consecutive drives without a touchdown and his
- 31:51Speaker 6: brain broke.
- 31:52Speaker 4: He went 37? 37? Oh my God. I wish you
- 31:57Speaker 4: didn't tell me that.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Moshe, I feel sorry for you. I really do. You're
- 32:00Speaker 3: trying to explain the unexplainable rather than just embracing it.
- 32:03Speaker 3: You're trying to explain things that happen in nature that
- 32:06Speaker 3: none of us can really fathom or understand. How to
- 32:09Speaker 3: put together a major IKEA product. I don't understand it.
- 32:13Speaker 3: I won't. But just do it. Just feel it and
- 32:16Speaker 3: live it.
- 32:18Speaker 7: It's hard to live. I see Mark. Mark, I chiming in. David.
- 32:24Speaker 7: David's chiming in.
- 32:25Speaker 3: All these people.
- 32:27Speaker 7: Broncos have made Mosier turn into a senile old man. Maybe.
- 32:30Speaker 7: Maybe they have. Because I'm telling you, it's inexplicable. This
- 32:35Speaker 7: is not real life. I don't know what to do
- 32:38Speaker 7: about it. I'm here for it. Believe me. When it's
- 32:41Speaker 7: all said and done, guys, I'm going to go, this
- 32:44Speaker 7: is one of the most remarkable, amazing things I've ever
- 32:47Speaker 7: seen in my entire life. But we're in the midst
- 32:50Speaker 7: of a National Football League record. It's insane.
- 32:53Speaker 3: All right, Gramps, let's get you to bed.
- 32:55Speaker 7: Thank you. Let's go to bed. Fine.
- 32:58Speaker 6: When we return, I do want to take a look
- 33:00Speaker 6: at the abs and the nuggets from over the weekend.
- 33:02Speaker 6: Adam Schefter will join us at 8 o'clock on this
- 33:04Speaker 6: Rally House Football Monday.
- 33:05Speaker 4: Stick around.
- 33:05Speaker 6: It's a Rally House Football Monday. Rally House shop every
- 33:09Speaker 6: team in town. Adam Schefter will break down all things.
- 33:12Speaker 6: Does anybody know off the top of their head the
- 33:15Speaker 6: time that the trade deadline is tomorrow? I know it
- 33:17Speaker 6: ends tomorrow. Is it 2 p.m.? Something like that.
- 33:20Speaker 4: I think 2 or 3 Mountain Time, somewhere around there.
- 33:23Speaker 3: I think the juiciest piece of information that... Adam has
- 33:27Speaker 3: given us over the weekend and much more to come
- 33:30Speaker 3: is the Broncos checking in on Mr. Colorado himself, the
- 33:35Speaker 3: pride of Fort Morgan. Yeah.
- 33:37Speaker 4: To which the Arizona Cardinals said, get away from my wife.
- 33:41Speaker 3: That's what they said. Trey McBride. Listen, Trey McBride on
- 33:45Speaker 3: that team is he is the offense and I understand it,
- 33:47Speaker 3: but negotiation is always negotiation. You never know. And the
- 33:51Speaker 3: fact that they're looking in that direction, they're looking at
- 33:54Speaker 3: tight ends. What if they don't go running back at all?
- 33:57Speaker 3: What if it's a tight end they bring in? I
- 33:58Speaker 3: think they need something.
- 34:00Speaker 6: I heard from a little birdie that that might be
- 34:03Speaker 6: the direction they're looking for the deadline. It feels like
- 34:06Speaker 6: something's going to be happening, whether that's tight end, running back,
- 34:10Speaker 6: something could be improved in the offense. We'll talk about
- 34:12Speaker 6: that with Adam Schefter here at 8 o'clock.
- 34:15Speaker 7: Brett, again, back to I only have 15 minutes. You've
- 34:18Speaker 7: been brilliant this morning, and I'm really proud of you.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 34:21Speaker 7: You've been awful. Agreed. My hair's awful. Agreed. It's an
- 34:28Speaker 7: early morning for me. I was on the road at
- 34:30Speaker 7: six getting to the airport. Couldn't get hooked up. Thank
- 34:33Speaker 7: God it finally worked. I'm just saying you've been brilliant, Brett,
- 34:38Speaker 7: in the fact that you have an opportunity here. This
- 34:41Speaker 7: goes back to my Newton's third law or universe. If
- 34:45Speaker 7: it's the universe, you have an opportunity.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Say universe again. Say third law or Newton again. I
- 34:51Speaker 3: dare you. Do it one more freaking time. This is
- 34:54Speaker 3: a sports talk show. We're talking about a nice win,
- 34:56Speaker 3: and you won't shut up about your laws.
- 34:58Speaker 7: Okay. They have to do something to solidify the running game.
- 35:04Speaker 7: They've got to do something.
- 35:05Speaker 6: There has to be a move to be made. Now, again,
- 35:09Speaker 6: we'll talk about that with Schefter at 8 o'clock.
- 35:10Speaker 7: By the way, Kiefer's on this trip, Kyle Kiefer, okay? Travis,
- 35:15Speaker 7: our director, everybody's here waiting to get on the airplane.
- 35:19Speaker 7: They all listened to the show on the way in.
- 35:21Speaker 7: They agree with me. They understood it perfectly. Their feeble
- 35:24Speaker 7: minds are not feeble. You guys have feeble minds. You
- 35:27Speaker 7: can't understand what I'm trying to say.
- 35:30Speaker 3: So, wait, you're saying that, hold on, Brett, hold on.
- 35:33Speaker 3: You're so good at explaining the unexplainable, right? You're doing
- 35:36Speaker 3: it right now. You're trying to give us Newton's third
- 35:38Speaker 3: law and all that.
- 35:39Speaker 7: You're so good.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Explain how the Avs were mowing down everybody until they
- 35:43Speaker 3: got to the conference finals.
- 35:45Speaker 7: Well, I wish I.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Could.
- 35:49Speaker 6: Can I talk about the trifecta of wins now over
- 35:51Speaker 6: the weekend? Because the Avs and Nuggets also played on Saturday.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Both played very, very well. Now, I will say, the
- 35:59Speaker 6: Nuggets playing in Mexico City, really interesting to see even them.
- 36:04Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys caught midway through that
- 36:06Speaker 6: first quarter. There was a moment in which it was
- 36:09Speaker 6: like Defense leading to transition buckets on both sides.
- 36:12Speaker 4: Bam, bam, bam, bam.
- 36:13Speaker 6: And it's a track meet up and down the floor.
- 36:17Speaker 6: And I wondered, what does an extra 2,000 feet in
- 36:19Speaker 6: elevation do to you? Turns out everybody dies is what happens.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Everybody was hands on their knees. There was one pacer
- 36:26Speaker 6: that dove out of bounds for a loose ball. He
- 36:28Speaker 6: laid on the ground for 10 seconds. Oh, my God,
- 36:31Speaker 6: they're dead.
- 36:32Speaker 3: It's amazing how a little bit of extra altitude. And Mosher,
- 36:36Speaker 3: the reason I said that is because Things happen in
- 36:39Speaker 3: sports that you can't explain and leave it at that.
- 36:43Speaker 3: That's why it's sports. That's the beauty of it. It's unexplainable.
- 36:46Speaker 3: The Nuggets going to Mexico City, taking care of business,
- 36:50Speaker 3: winning the game, and then having their plane break down
- 36:53Speaker 3: where they had to spend an extra day in Mexico City.
- 36:56Speaker 3: They spent eight hours on the tarmac in Mexico City.
- 37:00Speaker 3: And now their entire team is listed as questionable for
- 37:04Speaker 3: tonight's game in Houston.
- 37:05Speaker 7: That's called the unexplainable.
- 37:07Speaker 3: So don't try to explain the unexplainable.
- 37:11Speaker 7: And we got causes on a text thread with me
- 37:14Speaker 7: and Vic.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Oh, it was miserable from the sounds of it.
- 37:17Speaker 7: And you saw it too, yeah. It's absolute misery.
- 37:21Speaker 4: Now, can I say this?
- 37:23Speaker 6: The big thing that I noticed with the Nuggets was
- 37:28Speaker 6: that Man, Spencer Jones helps out a lot, doesn't he?
- 37:31Speaker 3: He does.
- 37:31Speaker 6: Immediate impact. First 30 seconds on the floor, he gets
- 37:35Speaker 6: a block shot. He plays like a veteran.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Yes.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Even though he's only a second-year really contributor, he plays
- 37:40Speaker 3: like a veteran.
- 37:40Speaker 6: I think the Nuggets, at the time that he entered
- 37:42Speaker 6: the game, they were 0 for 8 from 3. They
- 37:44Speaker 6: still controlled the game, but they were 0 for 8
- 37:47Speaker 6: from 3. He steps in, immediately knocks down two corner threes.
- 37:51Speaker 4: He was just excellent.
- 37:53Speaker 6: And it's that combined with... Cam Johnson, when he's on
- 37:57Speaker 6: and he's working, is also huge for that roster.
- 37:59Speaker 7: Correct.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Huge.
- 38:01Speaker 7: And what I really liked, to be honest with you,
- 38:04Speaker 7: they spaced everything out, scoring-wise. Everything was, everybody got a taste.
- 38:10Speaker 7: Everybody got a piece. At halftime, I thought the game was,
- 38:13Speaker 7: I'm like, this is over. You know, I was on
- 38:15Speaker 7: the way to the rink to do my own game.
- 38:19Speaker 7: I'm like, this is a good, maybe it's my favorite
- 38:23Speaker 7: win of the season. I know it's in Mexico City,
- 38:24Speaker 7: but it It might be my favorite win.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Well, they held the.
- 38:27Speaker 6: Pacers to 33% from the floor in the first half.
- 38:30Speaker 7: Yeah, A.G. was not good, but that's about the only
- 38:33Speaker 7: thing that I was not happy with.
- 38:37Speaker 3: A.G.
- 38:37Speaker 4: Was okay.
- 38:38Speaker 6: He couldn't hit a three, but I think he realized, okay,
- 38:40Speaker 6: if I'm not hitting my threes, I've got to get
- 38:42Speaker 6: down low, and he did that a couple of times,
- 38:43Speaker 6: which was nice.
- 38:44Speaker 3: You know, you've been on every trip, and again, I
- 38:47Speaker 3: say to those of you who travel full-time, I don't
- 38:49Speaker 3: know how you do it, Moj. It's truly remarkable, but
- 38:52Speaker 3: listening to that or reading... The text exchange and finding
- 38:57Speaker 3: Katie talk about the road trip from hell and what
- 39:01Speaker 3: it does to you. It's the first game of the
- 39:04Speaker 3: road trip.
- 39:04Speaker 4: I know.
- 39:05Speaker 3: So now they're a day behind. They don't get into
- 39:07Speaker 3: Houston until a day later. Their body clocks are all
- 39:11Speaker 3: jacked up. They really are. They had to sit in
- 39:14Speaker 3: a plane until 5 in the morning. And people are
- 39:17Speaker 3: going to wonder, so? So? Well, I mean, Moshe, can
- 39:20Speaker 3: you explain why that affects an elite athlete's biology?
- 39:25Speaker 7: Yeah, I can try. Again, it goes back to science.
- 39:30Speaker 7: These guys, these professional athletes are creatures of habit. They are,
- 39:34Speaker 7: their body clocks are like this, right? Which is why
- 39:39Speaker 7: I remember years ago, the Vancouver Canucks had a sleep,
- 39:43Speaker 7: like a sleep doctor. What was it? Because Vancouver is
- 39:47Speaker 7: isolated up in the Pacific Northwest and they got to
- 39:49Speaker 7: travel and so on. They had a doc who basically
- 39:53Speaker 7: his whole job was to monitor their biorhythms and sleep
- 39:58Speaker 7: cycles and so on and so forth. It jacks you up.
- 40:01Speaker 7: And so for me, like, Vic, you talk about going
- 40:03Speaker 7: to Europe. Always good. No problem. My body clock resets
- 40:06Speaker 7: right away. Coming home from Europe, dude, I'm telling you,
- 40:09Speaker 7: I've done it a billion times. I can't get right
- 40:11Speaker 7: for at least a week.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Well, here's the bigger problem is that.
- 40:15Speaker 6: Go sit on a tarmac for eight hours and then
- 40:17Speaker 6: have your plane delayed by basically a full day, and
- 40:19Speaker 6: the next day you'll run a marathon.
- 40:21Speaker 4: You aren't going to be very good, number one. Number two, there's.
- 40:23Speaker 6: An added element to this trip that I wouldn't realize, honestly,
- 40:28Speaker 6: unless I wasn't filling in for you, Vic, is that
- 40:31Speaker 6: the amount of things that those players have to do
- 40:33Speaker 6: when they travel to a place like Mexico City, you
- 40:36Speaker 6: don't just land, go to the hotel room, play your
- 40:38Speaker 6: basketball game.
- 40:39Speaker 4: You land, you do media stuff, you.
- 40:41Speaker 6: Go– interact with the kids around the city, doing some
- 40:45Speaker 6: NBA Cares things. It's a full docket of scheduling stuff
- 40:50Speaker 6: that you're doing before the game even starts.
- 40:52Speaker 7: By the way, you did really well. I'm proud of you. Yeah,
- 40:55Speaker 7: how'd it go? I thought you were good. You had
- 40:57Speaker 7: no hat. I thought you were good.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Everybody at TV, they made the job really easy.
- 41:01Speaker 3: Are you saying that my job's easy?
- 41:03Speaker 4: No, I think your job is very hard, actually. I
- 41:06Speaker 4: think it's a very hard thing to do. I'm very important.
- 41:09Speaker 6: The people that I was working with made it a
- 41:11Speaker 6: lot easier for me, is what I'm saying.
- 41:13Speaker 3: All right, good. Well, I'm glad you did it. Don't
- 41:15Speaker 3: get too comfortable.
- 41:16Speaker 6: By the way, I saw what Jason Richardson was wearing.
- 41:19Speaker 6: Not wearing a sport coat ever again. If that's not required,
- 41:21Speaker 6: then we are not doing that again.
- 41:23Speaker 3: Don't like it. Did you wear your one and only
- 41:26Speaker 3: sport coat?
- 41:26Speaker 4: I have two of them. I wore one of my two, yes.
- 41:28Speaker 3: What was Jason wearing? I didn't watch it.
- 41:30Speaker 4: He was wearing just like a polo collared shirt, T-shirt.
- 41:34Speaker 4: And I'm like, you know what? That looks very comfortable.
- 41:36Speaker 4: I think I should be doing that.
- 41:38Speaker 7: Uh, on our set.
- 41:39Speaker 4: So you were overdressed for the first time in your life. Yes.
- 41:42Speaker 4: I felt way overdressed. I hated all of it.
- 41:44Speaker 7: Yeah. Uh, Saturday night, uh, both Kyle Keefe and John
- 41:48Speaker 7: Michael Lyles did not wear socks with their dress shoes.
- 41:53Speaker 7: And I thought that I, like, I didn't get the
- 41:54Speaker 7: memo that there, From now on, apparently, socks are not
- 41:57Speaker 7: required for the broadcast.
- 41:58Speaker 3: That's a hockey thing. No, that's a hockey thing. They
- 42:00Speaker 3: wear the short pants. And actually, they're dressed very to
- 42:03Speaker 3: the nines. They're really well-dressed. They are, but there's no socks.
- 42:05Speaker 3: They wear the short slacks, the short trousers, and they
- 42:08Speaker 3: show a little ankle. A little love, a little sex.
- 42:10Speaker 3: There's a little sex. Get up a little bit with
- 42:12Speaker 3: that ankle.
- 42:15Speaker 7: It's like Paris women. In 1903, like a little ankle.
- 42:19Speaker 7: You're just showing a little ankle, baby.
- 42:21Speaker 4: It's like being like, you know, like if an Amish
- 42:24Speaker 4: woman was promiscuous. It would be like, see a little
- 42:26Speaker 4: bit of this ankle here. What do you think of that?
- 42:29Speaker 7: Is that a mole on your ankle?
- 42:30Speaker 6: Speaking of Moj, I thought the Avs played great. Not
- 42:33Speaker 6: to mention, good Lord, Mackenzie Blackwood's been on a heater lately.
- 42:38Speaker 6: He has been absolutely awesome.
- 42:40Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been terrific. A lot of things in that
- 42:44Speaker 7: game I liked. I mean, the final two periods especially.
- 42:48Speaker 7: The first period was not a bad period. They just
- 42:51Speaker 7: kind of got out of the gates a little sluggish.
- 42:54Speaker 7: Blackwood was great, which is what you need your goalie
- 42:56Speaker 7: to do sometimes. By the way, I thought Riker had
- 42:58Speaker 7: a really, really good analysis of that. He goes, this
- 43:02Speaker 7: is what you want to see. Your goalie is winning
- 43:04Speaker 7: you a game, number one, cool. Number two, your power
- 43:08Speaker 7: play had three power play goals on Saturday night. And
- 43:12Speaker 7: if you get those two things cooking, I'm telling you,
- 43:14Speaker 7: the sky's the limit, dude. They played with a purpose.
- 43:19Speaker 7: They were engaged physically and mentally. And, you know, the
- 43:24Speaker 7: Landy fight I loved, but I loved Nas mixing it up.
- 43:27Speaker 7: I loved Juleson mixing it up in the corner. I
- 43:29Speaker 7: loved all that stuff. Everything about it I liked. Although,
- 43:33Speaker 7: I don't know where these people live. Like, in some,
- 43:37Speaker 7: you know, some, I guess... grand rapids basement brett you've
- 43:42Speaker 7: you live there you tell me what grand rapids is
- 43:44Speaker 7: all about oh landis got god is ass kicked i'm
- 43:47Speaker 7: like you know what you just i don't know what
- 43:49Speaker 7: these announcers are thinking i'm like would you just shut
- 43:52Speaker 7: up just just just shut.
- 43:54Speaker 6: Up i think um one thing is very clear and
- 43:57Speaker 6: it's what we've known forever this team is very very
- 44:00Speaker 6: good five on five if you add a power play
- 44:03Speaker 6: that goes three of five on their opportunities they're They're unstoppable.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Unbeatable. Yeah.
- 44:08Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 44:09Speaker 4: I mean, and we've known that. You don't need to be.
- 44:12Speaker 6: Some sort of expert to just realize when your team's
- 44:14Speaker 6: really good five on five, if they execute on the
- 44:16Speaker 6: power play, you're damn near unbeatable.
- 44:18Speaker 4: It's exactly what happened.
- 44:20Speaker 6: Moj, before you got to head out on the plane,
- 44:21Speaker 6: can you tell the people about November being Hockey Fights
- 44:23Speaker 6: Cancer Month?
- 44:24Speaker 7: Yeah, it is Hockey Fights Cancer Month, and the Avs
- 44:26Speaker 7: and Vitalant have teamed up. By the way, Hockey Fights
