- 0:18Speaker 3: So that's the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident, you need
- 0:21Speaker 3: Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com. Chad Brown joins us.
- 0:26Speaker 2: What's up, Chuck?
- 0:28Speaker 3: What's happening, folks? Why does your name say Chuck on there?
- 0:32Speaker 4: It's a nickname in a men's group that I'm in. Sorry,
- 0:35Speaker 4: I didn't get that changed before.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Oh, no, it's totally fine. I like it, too. I mean,
- 0:40Speaker 2: I know your real name is Chadwick, but I'm like,
- 0:43Speaker 2: is there a Chuck in there? It's like Chadwick Chuck Brown.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Chadwick Chuck.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I have a fake name, too. I use it in
- 0:50Speaker 1: my group.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Chad, thanks for joining us. Going back to Monday night,
- 0:59Speaker 3: The tackling. I looked up the numbers on this because
- 1:04Speaker 3: I had to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
- 1:07Speaker 3: The Broncos weren't getting pushed around on the offensive line.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Their point of contact, on average, was at the line
- 1:13Speaker 3: of scrimmage. They just couldn't tackle. Is the reason for
- 1:17Speaker 3: not tackling because they don't tackle in training camp?
- 1:22Speaker 5: Yes. You get good at what you emphasize.
- 1:24Speaker 4: And so for them to not tackle to the ground
- 1:27Speaker 4: in training camp, How could you expect to possibly be
- 1:30Speaker 4: good at this in a regular season? Somehow you're going
- 1:32Speaker 4: to go over to the wall and flip a switch
- 1:33Speaker 4: on it, and now it's regular season time, and suddenly
- 1:36Speaker 4: I'm going to be a great tackler? It doesn't work
- 1:37Speaker 4: that way. There's an easy solution for all of this. Now,
- 1:40Speaker 4: is the coach and the team willing to possibly play
- 1:43Speaker 4: the price? Could someone get injured tackling to the ground
- 1:46Speaker 4: during training camp?
- 1:47Speaker 5: They certainly could.
- 1:48Speaker 4: But at the same time, if you expect to hit
- 1:50Speaker 4: the ground running and be a great defense on game one,
- 1:53Speaker 4: that's the price you have to pay in this game.
- 1:57Speaker 4: I certainly tackled to the ground in every one of
- 2:00Speaker 4: my 15 training camps. Now, of course, I retired in 2007.
- 2:03Speaker 4: That was almost 20 years ago. So times have changed,
- 2:07Speaker 4: and clearly this seems to be an acceptable way to
- 2:11Speaker 4: start the season. I know Bronco fans hated watching it,
- 2:14Speaker 4: but they weren't the only fan base disappointed in the
- 2:16Speaker 4: way that their defense tackled.
- 2:18Speaker 1: You know what I noticed, Chad, is they would hit
- 2:21Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, but just hit him and not wrap him
- 2:24Speaker 1: at times. I mean, there was that one run, as
- 2:25Speaker 1: Brett mentioned, where he's down the sideline, Brandon Jones caught
- 2:28Speaker 1: up to him, tried to push him out of bounds,
- 2:30Speaker 1: and he didn't go anywhere. It felt as if they
- 2:33Speaker 1: were still in a training camp practice where, you're right,
- 2:36Speaker 1: don't tackle to the ground, just push the guy. That's
- 2:39Speaker 1: what it looked like during the game.
- 2:43Speaker 4: Well, there's a difference between, hey, we're going to take
- 2:46Speaker 4: care of each other this practice period. We're not going
- 2:49Speaker 4: to thud each other. We're going to hit each other,
- 2:50Speaker 4: but we're not going to wrap up. We're not going
- 2:52Speaker 4: to bring him to the ground. And so if that
- 2:54Speaker 4: is how you've been practicing for the last month, then
- 2:57Speaker 4: suddenly to flip the switch and become a physical wrapping
- 3:00Speaker 4: football team where you grab cloth, you put your face
- 3:03Speaker 4: on somebody, that's not an easy switch to flip. And
- 3:06Speaker 4: it showed up out there on Monday night.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Do you think they did it at practice this week?
- 3:11Speaker 2: Nope.
- 3:12Speaker 5: I don't think so.
- 3:13Speaker 4: I think it was talked about. I think it was emphasized.
- 3:15Speaker 4: I think they maybe got out the pads and the
- 3:19Speaker 4: giant foam wheels and and all the things, but they
- 3:22Speaker 4: didn't go tackle to the ground because who were they
- 3:24Speaker 4: going to tackle to the ground? Everyone on this team,
- 3:26Speaker 4: on the NFL team, is supposedly valuable, and I'm not
- 3:30Speaker 4: saying that they're not, but again, you've got to tackle
- 3:32Speaker 4: to the ground. There's only one way to play this
- 3:35Speaker 4: game and to prepare to play this game, and that's
- 3:37Speaker 4: to play it in practice, at least in some periods,
- 3:40Speaker 4: as physically as you would during a regular game.
- 3:42Speaker 2: You know what they should do? Just get some guy
- 3:45Speaker 2: in the practice squad who's a former college running back.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Just get Vic Lombardi in some pads and let the
- 3:53Speaker 2: defense just tee off on him for like an hour
- 3:55Speaker 2: and a half.
- 3:56Speaker 1: That would be awesome.
- 3:59Speaker 4: I've been on teams where that is a thing. In
- 4:02Speaker 4: my last couple years as a Patriot, we would typically
- 4:04Speaker 4: do tackling during training camp. Of course, we had a
- 4:07Speaker 4: big roster because it was training camp. But once regular
- 4:09Speaker 4: season hit, about halfway through the season, Bill would have
- 4:12Speaker 4: a couple of days of tackling drills. And we started
- 4:15Speaker 4: that again once we got into the playoffs. So there
- 4:18Speaker 4: was always a couple of guys who were recruited from
- 4:21Speaker 4: practice squad, a practice squad tight end, a practice squad receiver,
- 4:24Speaker 4: a couple of practice squad running backs. And they would
- 4:26Speaker 4: be lined up for us as soon as practice was
- 4:29Speaker 4: over and everyone had to get at least one or
- 4:31Speaker 4: two tackles in on this guy or guys. to show
- 4:35Speaker 4: Bill that we were ready to.
- 4:36Speaker 5: Still continue to be... Human pinatas?
- 4:38Speaker 3: Hey, Jimmy.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Hey, Jimmy.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Human pinatas was our title, yes.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Hey, Jimmy, get on over here. Yeah, it's your turn
- 4:43Speaker 2: to get your ass kicked.
- 4:44Speaker 3: All right?
- 4:44Speaker 2: Okay, have fun. No, but Chad, in all seriousness, though,
- 4:47Speaker 2: we talked about it on Tuesday. If you're going to
- 4:49Speaker 2: get a wake-up call like you did, you got it
- 4:52Speaker 2: on Monday night, game one.
- 4:54Speaker 5: And so.
- 4:55Speaker 2: theoretically the heads are going to be on straight, the
- 4:57Speaker 2: focus and the purpose is going to be there against
- 4:59Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm sure you had plenty of wake-up
- 5:02Speaker 2: calls in your career. What is that like in that
- 5:05Speaker 2: week preparation leading up to the game where you need
- 5:09Speaker 2: to seek redemption on both sides of the ball?
- 5:13Speaker 5: It's a tough week.
- 5:13Speaker 4: It should be a tough week. You should be a
- 5:15Speaker 4: little upset with yourself, with the effort you put out there.
- 5:18Speaker 5: You should be embarrassed.
- 5:19Speaker 4: But this is the game you've had the most time
- 5:21Speaker 4: to prepare for, Yet you didn't show up in a
- 5:24Speaker 4: physical manner. Everyone knows typically each week, the most physical
- 5:28Speaker 4: football team finds a way to win. Clearly the Broncos
- 5:31Speaker 4: weren't that. So they got to try to find a
- 5:32Speaker 4: way to do that this week versus a Jags team.
- 5:35Speaker 4: They got a big win. That's coming in riding high.
- 5:38Speaker 4: That's coming in feeling incredibly confident. So it's going to
- 5:41Speaker 4: be confidence versus redemption. And we'll see which emotion is
- 5:46Speaker 4: more important to winning a football game. And my belief is,
- 5:50Speaker 4: Confidence is always the more important emotion because we executed.
- 5:53Speaker 5: We did it.
- 5:54Speaker 4: We repped it during training camp. We went out and
- 5:57Speaker 4: we executed. Now we're going to make our biggest leap
- 5:59Speaker 4: of improvement from week one to week two. The Broncos
- 6:03Speaker 4: are still trying to get to good. Jags already got there.
- 6:06Speaker 4: I'm not saying that's an impossible hill for them to climb,
- 6:09Speaker 4: but from an emotional standpoint, from a tone of the
- 6:12Speaker 4: locker room standpoint, I'm taking a confident team over a
- 6:15Speaker 4: redemption team every single time.
- 6:17Speaker 3: All conversations with Chad are brought to you by Surfside.
- 6:20Speaker 3: 100 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and zero bubbles. It's
- 6:22Speaker 3: not a seltzer. It's Surfside.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Well, damn, that doesn't make me feel too good, Dan, man,
- 6:26Speaker 2: because we were just talking about the Jags. Chad, they're
- 6:29Speaker 2: for real. I mean, I don't know how they do
- 6:32Speaker 2: it offensively, but Brett pointed it out. Over the last
- 6:34Speaker 2: 12 games, they've averaged over 32 points per game, and
- 6:38Speaker 2: their defense is pretty damn good, too. So when you
- 6:40Speaker 2: say that, man, it doesn't make me feel any better
- 6:43Speaker 2: about Sunday.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Well, let's think back to that Jags game last season.
- 6:48Speaker 4: They actually came out and punched the Broncos in the
- 6:50Speaker 4: mouth several times in that game. And let's think about
- 6:53Speaker 4: the last couple of Bronco performances going back to the
- 6:56Speaker 4: playoffs last year, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
- 7:00Speaker 5: Those have not been great. So is that a trend?
- 7:03Speaker 4: Is that are we supposed to just treat those as, hey,
- 7:06Speaker 4: those are two good teams in the playoffs and we
- 7:08Speaker 4: didn't show up here in week one. We're going to
- 7:09Speaker 4: get it going here in week two. It seems to
- 7:12Speaker 4: be a trend to me. It seems to be, at
- 7:15Speaker 4: the very least, you've got to be concerned that the
- 7:17Speaker 4: last three times this Bronco team showed up to play,
- 7:20Speaker 4: the other team rushed for over 100 yards against them,
- 7:23Speaker 4: was the more physical team most of the game, and
- 7:25Speaker 4: found ways to exploit this Broncos defense that we all
- 7:28Speaker 4: think is so great, but clearly has some holes, not
- 7:32Speaker 4: just from a personnel standpoint, but some of the structure
- 7:35Speaker 4: and the origins of.
- 7:36Speaker 5: How it's built.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Well, Chad, on top of that, you know, We can
- 7:40Speaker 3: talk about the defense all day. Bottom line is the
- 7:42Speaker 3: offense needs to be able to pull their weight too,
- 7:45Speaker 3: and it can't be reliant on the defense to hold
- 7:47Speaker 3: teams at 17 points every week. So what was the
- 7:50Speaker 3: most egregious thing that you saw on the offensive side?
- 7:52Speaker 3: Was it Bo Nix? Was it play calling? What was it?
- 7:57Speaker 4: I would say it was Bo Nix, followed closely by
- 7:59Speaker 4: some of the play calling. Davis Webb was not terrible,
- 8:02Speaker 4: but there was certainly a number of plays I think
- 8:04Speaker 4: we would all want back.
- 8:06Speaker 5: The third and one.
- 8:07Speaker 4: If you're going to go five wide or go empty
- 8:09Speaker 4: on third and one, you don't do that at that
- 8:12Speaker 4: part of the field. You do that when you're closer
- 8:14Speaker 4: to your own end zone and you're willing to go
- 8:16Speaker 4: for it on fourth down. Because all play callers do
- 8:21Speaker 4: that on a second and one. Hey, I'm going to
- 8:24Speaker 4: try to get a bomb in here, sneak it in,
- 8:26Speaker 4: because I know on third and one we get a
- 8:27Speaker 4: chance to convert and continue this drive. But when you
- 8:30Speaker 4: do that on third down, where he did it on
- 8:32Speaker 4: the field, you don't have that fourth down option. So
- 8:35Speaker 4: I don't really mind the play call as much as
- 8:38Speaker 4: you didn't pay attention to the other situations going on
- 8:41Speaker 4: around that play. But for Bo Nix, we saw him
- 8:45Speaker 4: in his limited action in the preseason, particularly early when
- 8:47Speaker 4: he got in the game, being overanxious. Some of the
- 8:50Speaker 4: sped up play that we saw from him last year
- 8:53Speaker 4: showed up again in week one, just like it showed
- 8:55Speaker 4: up in that preseason game. So the thought was, hey,
- 8:58Speaker 4: we get Davis Webb. He'll get the play call in
- 9:00Speaker 4: five seconds, seven seconds, nine seconds faster than That would
- 9:03Speaker 4: give Bo enough time to be calm and collected by
- 9:06Speaker 4: the time the ball snaps. It didn't really add up.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Is it week one? It is week one. And, you know,
- 9:12Speaker 4: I did a broadcast last week. I was on the
- 9:14Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills-Houston Texans broadcast.
- 9:16Speaker 3: What a game.
- 9:17Speaker 4: It was a tremendous game. But let's just say it
- 9:20Speaker 4: was week one for us as broadcasters.
- 9:22Speaker 5: Some of the engineering.
- 9:24Speaker 4: need to be a little bit better. Some of the
- 9:27Speaker 4: wires got crossed between the talkback and the producer and
- 9:32Speaker 4: the station and us in the booth. So it's week
- 9:34Speaker 4: one for everybody. So I'll have some grace for Bo Nix.
- 9:37Speaker 4: I'll have some grace for Vance Joseph. I'll have some
- 9:39Speaker 4: grace for this Broncos defense. Just as we had grace
- 9:42Speaker 4: for that engineer for that game last week. Hey, but
- 9:45Speaker 4: week two comes around. You better fix that. You better
- 9:48Speaker 4: fix it. It better be buttoned up tight by Tommy
- 9:51Speaker 4: walking to the booth here on week two. And the
- 9:53Speaker 4: Broncos defense better be a better tackling unit. And Bo Nix,
- 9:57Speaker 4: get calm.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Get centered. Take some meditations.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Classes. Listen to some plinky-plunky yoga music before the game.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Do whatever you got to do to get yourself ready
- 10:05Speaker 4: to not be too fast and not be too sped up.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Chad Brown, identify for me the reason Sean Payton gave
- 10:13Speaker 1: up play calling duties.
- 10:16Speaker 4: Because Sean Payton clearly is beginning to slow down a
- 10:21Speaker 4: bit with his play calling. And I think Father Time
- 10:24Speaker 4: is undefeated. And that's OK for Sean Payton to recognize that.
- 10:30Speaker 4: I think to be a head coach and to be
- 10:32Speaker 4: overseeing all things, I would have loved to have seen
- 10:34Speaker 4: a better job being the overseer and creating those those
- 10:37Speaker 4: temps and hints there.
- 10:39Speaker 5: For everyone else.
- 10:39Speaker 4: So if you're going to be the overseer, you've got
- 10:41Speaker 4: to be on the headsets constantly giving instruction to those coaches.
- 10:44Speaker 4: So I think it was game one for Sean Payton too.
- 10:47Speaker 4: What does he do with his hands? Like, you know,
- 10:49Speaker 4: Ricky Bahavi in Talladega Nights. What did he do on
- 10:52Speaker 4: the sidelines? How much does he say to these people?
- 10:56Speaker 4: That probably would not be frowned upon, but it may
- 10:58Speaker 4: have woken some people up who needed it. The ability
- 11:01Speaker 4: for a head coach to step back and change roles
- 11:04Speaker 4: and become the overseer on the sideline. I think that's
- 11:07Speaker 4: a skill set And I got a chance to watch
- 11:10Speaker 4: Bill Coward do that. I got a chance to watch
- 11:13Speaker 4: Bill Belichick do that. And they were constantly in communication
- 11:17Speaker 4: with their coordinators and their position coaches. And they were
- 11:20Speaker 4: truly overseeing the game. I saw Sean who was watching
- 11:23Speaker 4: his offense and not necessarily overseeing his offense.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Man, I feel a lot worse than I did. 12
- 11:32Speaker 2: minutes ago before you came on.
- 11:34Speaker 1: And it's not a way of doing that to people.
- 11:36Speaker 2: It's not you, but it's the... Chuck does that. Yeah,
- 11:40Speaker 2: he's like the bad Chad is Chuck. But it's the
- 11:43Speaker 2: information you're giving out because you're 100% correct. But my
- 11:47Speaker 2: fear now, Chad, where my brain goes is, damn, man,
- 11:51Speaker 2: they better turn it around this week because if you're
- 11:54Speaker 2: 0-2 with the schedule to start the season the way
- 11:58Speaker 2: it is, Brother, this thing could get tough in a hurry.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I just, God, I'd hate to see you get away
- 12:05Speaker 2: from them early.
- 12:05Speaker 5: I'd hate it.
- 12:06Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams are coming up and the Niners
- 12:08Speaker 2: on the road. Damn it.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Tough.
- 12:11Speaker 5: It's a tough schedule.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Is that a question?
- 12:13Speaker 5: I'm with you.
- 12:14Speaker 2: No, not really. I'm commiserating.
- 12:17Speaker 4: The daunting nature of these first six games puts all
- 12:21Speaker 4: this importance. We're heaping all this importance upon this. It's
- 12:24Speaker 4: a long season.
- 12:25Speaker 5: It's a marathon.
- 12:26Speaker 4: The best teams shouldn't be at their best week one.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Do you want to tackle good in week one? I
- 12:32Speaker 4: think you do, but you shouldn't be at your best.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Your plan structurally should be, we want to be at
- 12:37Speaker 4: our best in late December and in January and in February.
- 12:40Speaker 4: That's when the real money is made. We want to
- 12:42Speaker 4: find ways to improve every single week. Clearly, they've got
- 12:45Speaker 4: an opportunity to improve. and play calling and overseeing the
- 12:49Speaker 4: entire football team and tackling and slowing down mentally if
- 12:53Speaker 4: you're Bo Nix, there's lots of space to improve. You
- 12:55Speaker 4: make your biggest improvement from week one to week two.
- 12:58Speaker 4: So I think we'll get a chance to see that.
- 13:00Speaker 4: And even if they start the season 0-2, it does
- 13:03Speaker 4: not mean this thing is over. They just got to
- 13:05Speaker 4: find ways to keep chopping wood and improving. And you
- 13:08Speaker 4: can't be emotionally drained by being 0-2. There's still lots
- 13:12Speaker 4: of football left. There's 15 games left after this weekend.
- 13:16Speaker 5: Lots of football left.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Chad, last thing for you. Always appreciate the time. Your
- 13:20Speaker 3: boys start the season 2-0. The Buffs now go to
- 13:23Speaker 3: Chicago to take on Northwestern. They're 3.5-point dogs. Do you
- 13:27Speaker 3: think this is a game they should win?
- 13:30Speaker 5: Should win. Yes, I will say that.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Considering what we've seen the first two weeks, obviously, Coach
- 13:38Speaker 4: Prime did a thing that a coach does after you
- 13:41Speaker 4: blow out an inferior opponent, poke holes in all the
- 13:43Speaker 4: things that he saw, not the great things, but all
- 13:45Speaker 4: the bad things, and rightfully tried to get his team's
- 13:47Speaker 4: mind right. You're so busy patting yourself on the back,
- 13:50Speaker 4: you're going to break both arms. You got to focus
- 13:53Speaker 4: on what we got coming up here. So I like
- 13:56Speaker 4: that from Coach Prime. I think this game is going
- 13:59Speaker 4: to be a check for where this program is because
- 14:03Speaker 4: we've seen– a great initial start from them before. And
- 14:06Speaker 4: then once the things get to the meat of the schedule,
- 14:09Speaker 4: they were unable to sustain in some of these seasons
- 14:12Speaker 4: in the past.
- 14:13Speaker 5: Hopefully they found a way to do that.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Hopefully the culture is different because the play on the
- 14:17Speaker 4: field is different. They run the ball and they stop
- 14:20Speaker 4: the run. And that's some of the most football one-on-one
- 14:23Speaker 4: things you can do. And if you can do that
- 14:25Speaker 4: week in and week out, you give yourself a chance
- 14:26Speaker 4: to win week in and week out.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Quick story. You just jogged my memory on something. See
- 14:31Speaker 1: you playing Northwestern. Gary Barnett. Big CU guy, also the
- 14:35Speaker 1: head coach of Northwestern during their heyday. He took Northwestern
- 14:39Speaker 1: to the Rose Bowl. 1996, Chad, and this just goes
- 14:43Speaker 1: to show you how much college football has changed on
- 14:45Speaker 1: the money part of it. 1996, Northwestern's going to the
- 14:49Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. They have a week off before the game.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Darnell Autry, do you remember that name? Remember Darnell Autry,
- 14:55Speaker 1: the running back?
- 14:55Speaker 6: Yes, sure, of course.
- 14:56Speaker 1: So he's from Phoenix, and I'm doing a show in Phoenix,
- 14:59Speaker 1: a Sunday night sports show on the news on Channel
- 15:02Speaker 1: 5 back then. He comes on the show, and at
- 15:05Speaker 1: the end of the show, I said, Darnell, can you
- 15:06Speaker 1: just look into the camera and say, hey, I watch
- 15:08Speaker 1: Channel 5, KPHO, and he did that. Two days later,
- 15:12Speaker 1: we get a letter from the NCAA. You can't do that.
- 15:15Speaker 1: That goes against NCAA violations. You cannot have one of
- 15:18Speaker 1: our players promote your show.
- 15:20Speaker 2: You have to.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Retract it, or he's ineligible for the Rose Bowl. I
- 15:24Speaker 1: had to write a letter to the NCAA office in
- 15:28Speaker 1: compliance to allow Darnell Autry to play in the Rose Bowl.
- 15:33Speaker 4: I 100% believe that story because I've heard all the
- 15:36Speaker 4: ridiculous NCAA stories that are out there. And because of
- 15:41Speaker 4: that ridiculousness, now we're in the space that we're in
- 15:44Speaker 4: because they were unwilling to operate in a fair and
- 15:47Speaker 4: reasonable and equitable way to players. Now we find ourselves
- 15:51Speaker 4: in the wild, wild west. They went too far overboard
- 15:54Speaker 4: with that, trying to justify their existence. And now they've
- 15:57Speaker 4: been legislated out of existence. And now we've got this
- 16:00Speaker 4: crazy landscape where we got guys trying to come back
- 16:03Speaker 4: from NFL training camps, and we've got guys being sued
- 16:07Speaker 4: by other teams for taking NIL money, and this awful
- 16:11Speaker 4: landscape that college football is in is because of exactly
- 16:14Speaker 4: what you just talked about.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Can you say, hi, I'm Chuck, and I listen to
- 16:17Speaker 3: Altitude Sports Radio?
- 16:19Speaker 4: Yes, I can, because I don't get an NIL deal. Hey, everybody,
- 16:22Speaker 4: this is Chad Brown, also known as Chuck, and I
- 16:25Speaker 4: listen to Altitude Sports Radio every single day, and I'm
- 16:28Speaker 4: on with these guys every Thursday morning.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Hey, what game you got this week?
- 16:34Speaker 4: I have this week off, but next week, I've got
- 16:37Speaker 4: Oregon and USC.
- 16:39Speaker 5: It's at USC.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Oregon's a fraud.
- 16:43Speaker 4: Oregon looks not so good to start the season, but
- 16:45Speaker 4: the crazy part is that it's going to be a
- 16:47Speaker 4: Big Ten game. Oregon and USC at USC, and it's
- 16:51Speaker 4: a Big Ten game?
- 16:52Speaker 5: Okay.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, Chad. Whenever I think about
- 16:56Speaker 3: Big Ten, I think of palm trees. I don't know
- 16:58Speaker 3: what you're talking about.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Chad, you're the best.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Thanks for the time, buddy.
- 17:01Speaker 5: See you guys. Bye-bye. Thanks.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Chad Brown joins us every single Thursday.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I know when I say, hey, Cal is in the ACC.
- 17:09Speaker 2: It's stupid.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Stanford's Stanford's in the ACC, correct?
- 17:12Speaker 2: What the hell are you talking about in the ACC? Oh,
- 17:15Speaker 2: by the way, Brett, the PAC 12 was dead. And
- 17:18Speaker 2: now it's the PAC state college. 12, whatever.
- 17:22Speaker 6: Palo Alto and Berkeley, California are both on the Atlantic coast.
- 17:26Speaker 6: I don't know why you're making such a big deal
- 17:28Speaker 6: out of this.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Put the globe on its side. And I mean, the
- 17:32Speaker 1: water all touches at some point.
- 17:33Speaker 3: If you look on the other side of the room.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:36Speaker 1: You're always looking left.
- 17:37Speaker 3: All right. Um, Thanks to Chad Brown. Jeff Leglow will

- 18:23Speaker 3: you have a transformation?
- 18:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen anything like this, to
- 18:28Speaker 1: be honest with you. Very rarely do I see a
- 18:31Speaker 1: picture of somebody, a photo, and go, who the hell
- 18:33Speaker 1: is that?
- 18:34Speaker 3: But I saw one.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And now I know who it is, but upon first glance,
- 18:38Speaker 1: I could not believe my eyes. And Nellie, go ahead
- 18:41Speaker 1: and put it up in the screen behind Brett Cain.
- 18:44Speaker 1: When I saw this gentleman yesterday, I go, wow, that's
- 18:47Speaker 1: a dashing young man. Who might that be? There's no
- 18:52Speaker 1: way you could tell me that is who it is.
- 18:54Speaker 1: It's Brent Burns? Are you kidding me?
- 18:59Speaker 2: That is Brent Burns, bro.
- 19:01Speaker 3: That's Brent Burns. He has 90s boy band hair and
- 19:05Speaker 3: two front teeth.
- 19:06Speaker 1: That's Brent Burns right there.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Look at his beard.
- 19:09Speaker 3: And his beard is pared down to a model.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Have you ever seen, listen, I hate to go here,
- 19:17Speaker 1: but it just, that's him on the right, Brent Burns
- 19:21Speaker 1: that we saw last season, and the Brent Burns on
- 19:23Speaker 1: the left is the one that presented himself at Avs
- 19:26Speaker 1: Media Day. Is it look young, feel young?
- 19:30Speaker 3: Is that what we're going for here?
- 19:31Speaker 1: I don't know. Or just found hygiene?
- 19:35Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what it is. Well,
- 19:37Speaker 2: he did bathe. I've been around him enough to know
- 19:40Speaker 2: that he bathes. I know.
- 19:41Speaker 1: I know. It's an amazing transformation is all I'm saying.
- 19:45Speaker 1: It reminds me. Do you guys ever see those social
- 19:47Speaker 1: media videos? And I love them. Where they find. some dude,
- 19:50Speaker 1: some random, sometimes it could be somebody on.
- 19:52Speaker 2: The street guy.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 19:54Speaker 2: And they, and they cut him up. Yeah.
- 19:56Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I mean, I.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Mean the haircut and shape.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Yeah. It is like, whoa, this is what it looks like.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Like he's on a TV show or something.
- 20:09Speaker 5: Okay. Yeah.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Extreme makeover. Last year, Brent Burns does not have a job.
- 20:17Speaker 3: He is relying on his girlfriend, who is this close
- 20:21Speaker 3: to kicking him out of the house, and he says, babe,
- 20:25Speaker 3: the band's going to make it. That's what he says.
- 20:27Speaker 3: This Brent Burns works for a Fortune 500 company and
- 20:32Speaker 3: has a trust fund from daddy. That guy's on a
- 20:37Speaker 3: yacht on the weekends.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Yes.
- 20:39Speaker 3: This guy is going to a local dive bar in
- 20:46Speaker 3: a corn cover band.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Moj, explain it to me like I'm five.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Hey, man, maybe this is like a new year, new me,
- 20:54Speaker 2: let's finally get it done.
- 20:55Speaker 3: No, Moj, I think it's look young, feel young.
- 20:59Speaker 2: He's 41 years old, bro.
- 21:01Speaker 3: That looks like a 29-year-old.
- 21:03Speaker 1: That looks like a 22-year-old man.
- 21:04Speaker 2: I'm going to be God honest with you. I haven't
- 21:07Speaker 2: seen him with his two front teeth. I haven't seen
- 21:10Speaker 2: him with his teeth.
- 21:12Speaker 5: Ever.
- 21:12Speaker 2: In a long, long, long time.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Those aren't permanent. That's not the EJ treatment yet, right?
- 21:21Speaker 2: That's the stick it in.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Those are just like a mouthpiece.
- 21:23Speaker 2: I'm sure they are.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Because there's no reason in getting that done until your
- 21:27Speaker 3: career is over. Just in case you get popped in
- 21:29Speaker 3: the mouth again.
- 21:29Speaker 6: You ever seen what he looked like as a rookie
- 21:32Speaker 6: back in like 2003? Throw it up. And do you remember,
- 21:34Speaker 6: by the way, pop quiz. Throw it up, throw it up.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Pop quiz before. Who drafted him? Do you know the first?
- 21:38Speaker 3: The Minnesota Wilds.
- 21:39Speaker 5: Minnesota, yeah.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Pop quiz. Oh, my goodness.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Okay. This is the biggest transformation in the history of man.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Put him in order.
- 21:50Speaker 3: He does look like a boy band member.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah, put him in order. Put that guy and then
- 21:55Speaker 1: sort of like Grizzly Adams guy and now– And now today,
- 22:01Speaker 1: a successful entrepreneur guy.
- 22:03Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that guy's going on. The guy on the
- 22:07Speaker 3: very side, the new Brent Burns, who is clean, not clean-shaven,
- 22:11Speaker 3: but has the well-manicured beard with the hair that looks
- 22:17Speaker 3: like it could have frosted tips, but it doesn't. Like,
- 22:20Speaker 3: that guy has got something to sell you on Shark Tank.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Brent, these are three different human beings. We got Napoleon
- 22:25Speaker 1: Dynamite to start the show there on the far left.
- 22:29Speaker 1: There's no way that is Brent Burns. I refuse to
- 22:31Speaker 1: believe it. We got Grizzly Adams Burns who goes out
- 22:35Speaker 1: and eats raw meat. That's what the middle guy does.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And then we got a dude who is, I mean,
- 22:41Speaker 1: that's Wolf of Wall Street.
- 22:43Speaker 3: Hang on a second. At the bottom of this rookie picture,
- 22:47Speaker 3: it says, Brent Burns through the years presented by Great Clips.
- 22:51Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Clean shaven, long blonde hair, by the way, blonde hair.
- 22:56Speaker 3: And then homeless guy and then Fortune 500, dude. Pretty remarkable, Vic.
- 23:01Speaker 6: I agree.
- 23:01Speaker 1: See, you guys should have presented all three of those
- 23:04Speaker 1: photos to teammates and asked if they knew who he was.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Like the one on the far left. I guarantee half
- 23:10Speaker 1: the guys would have gone, who?
- 23:12Speaker 2: Who the hell is that guy? Hey, you know, I
- 23:14Speaker 2: thought you were going to go this direction, Vic, when
- 23:15Speaker 2: you said the transformation. But there's one other thing I
- 23:18Speaker 2: thought of. I thought you might go Bill Belichick's boobs.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Because he's had implants. There ain't no doubt in my mind.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I did not have that in mind.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Vic, Vic, have you seen the photo that Mosher's talking about?
- 23:36Speaker 1: What websites are you on? He has.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Listen to me when I say this. Bill Belichick, everybody listening...
- 23:43Speaker 3: I mean, the man's in his 70s. Bill Belichick has
- 23:46Speaker 3: absolute cannons.
- 23:50Speaker 2: I mean.
- 23:52Speaker 3: You know that Sidney Sweeney commercial everybody's like mad about?
- 23:56Speaker 3: Can't hold a candle to what I just saw from
- 23:59Speaker 3: Belichick yesterday. Not a candle to it. And Nelly, you
- 24:02Speaker 3: got to pull it up and show it. I don't...
- 24:06Speaker 3: Give me the Zoom.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Vic.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Vic.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Hammers on this guy. Give me a Zoom, Nelly. Look
- 24:17Speaker 3: at what we're dealing with here.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I'm not commenting on this.
- 24:22Speaker 3: This is him sitting down for an interview at something.
- 24:25Speaker 3: He's talking to, I don't know.
- 24:28Speaker 2: UNC. It's some UNC mouthpiece.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Right or wrong, Vic?
- 24:35Speaker 1: I don't participate in objective physical torture. Objectifying people? Yeah,
- 24:41Speaker 1: I don't objectify people.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Ready?
- 24:44Speaker 1: Okay. My boyfriend's got really big boobs.
- 24:50Speaker 3: I've just got a really nice rack is what you
- 24:51Speaker 3: should say.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Go team. Can I get, I can give you, I
- 24:56Speaker 1: can give you a medical reason why that happens. And
- 24:58Speaker 1: then we'll get into another topic and it can get
- 25:00Speaker 1: really dark in here. So I don't want to go there.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Okay.
- 25:04Speaker 2: I mean, I know exactly what's happening.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Why can't I just have fun? Why do you have
- 25:08Speaker 3: to do that to me? Why can't I have fun?
- 25:09Speaker 1: Because I know exactly what's happening there.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Just let me have my fun. I wanted to make
- 25:16Speaker 3: one Sidney Sweeney joke, and we could move on, and
- 25:18Speaker 3: Vic's going to be like, well, if you want to
- 25:20Speaker 3: be sad for a minute. I don't want to be sad.
- 25:24Speaker 3: I do have a question for you guys.
- 25:25Speaker 2: I saw a dog get hit by a car yesterday.
- 25:27Speaker 2: You want to talk about that?
- 25:28Speaker 5: Hang on.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Have you seen these guys on social media, too, that
- 25:34Speaker 1: are selling these things you put under your clothes that
- 25:37Speaker 1: make it look like you have muscles? These pads?
- 25:40Speaker 2: Okay, so can— We're not going this direction.
- 25:45Speaker 3: No, I'm going to because I have to say something
- 25:47Speaker 3: about this. I've always thought it was fraudulent because I
- 25:49Speaker 3: always wondered what happened. You know when... Well, there's this
- 25:52Speaker 3: product that women wear that's like.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the spandex thing.
- 25:54Speaker 3: It's not a girdle, but.
- 25:55Speaker 1: It's something that like.
- 25:56Speaker 2: I know exactly what it is. Spanx. Yeah, it's like Spanx.
- 25:58Speaker 5: So.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Yeah, Spanx.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean... Yeah, I mean, DMACC wears it when
- 26:02Speaker 1: he rides his bike.
- 26:03Speaker 5: So.
- 26:04Speaker 3: So my question is, like, if you're going to a
- 26:06Speaker 3: bar and you're wearing that and you're trying to, like,
- 26:09Speaker 3: pick somebody up or something like that, when you get home.
- 26:13Speaker 3: That's going to be an awkward day. It's the same
- 26:16Speaker 3: thing with the muscle stuff. If you're a dude who's
- 26:19Speaker 3: wearing the muscle shirt, going out to the bar, he's
- 26:21Speaker 3: like leaned over.
- 26:22Speaker 1: He's like, look at these pecs. Moj, you got to
- 26:24Speaker 1: do that for a broadcast.
- 26:25Speaker 3: These biceps and these shoulders. And then some goes like,
- 26:29Speaker 3: that's hot. What happens when the guy takes off his
- 26:34Speaker 3: fraud suit?
- 26:35Speaker 1: Moj, please, I will buy it for you. I swear
- 26:38Speaker 1: to God. Please order one of these. Show up at
- 26:42Speaker 1: Av's Skate. And just buff up.
- 26:45Speaker 6: Just walk around.
- 26:45Speaker 1: It would be funny. It would be so funny. No, no,
- 26:48Speaker 1: not that. Mike, your suit. No, put the suit on.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I'm not wearing a muscle suit. No, I'm not doing
- 26:54Speaker 2: that crap. Come on, dude. No, I'm not doing that crap.
- 26:56Speaker 2: How much do I have to give you?
- 26:58Speaker 3: Be my clown.
- 26:59Speaker 2: I'm not your clown. Please be my clown. No, I'm
- 27:02Speaker 2: not your clown for hire guy.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Hey, I have a question for you guys. Regarding, what
- 27:10Speaker 3: is this?
- 27:11Speaker 6: That's one of the muscle suits, Moj. You got to
- 27:13Speaker 6: put that on and roll up to an average broadcast.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Oh, that's a suit?
- 27:15Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a fake suit.
- 27:16Speaker 2: That looks pretty legit.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:17Speaker 6: Get a nice one, Moj.
- 27:20Speaker 3: I have a question for you guys regarding this weekend
- 27:22Speaker 3: in the league. I know there's a lot of fun
- 27:25Speaker 3: games that we can discuss. One in college football that
- 27:27Speaker 3: I think is going to be fascinating. It's Lane Kiffin
- 27:29Speaker 3: playing against his old school Ole Miss.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Without his quarterback.
- 27:32Speaker 3: And Sam Levitt is doubtful for that game. But a
- 27:37Speaker 3: whole bunch of intriguing matchups. Can I tell you one
- 27:41Speaker 3: that I think is fascinating for this weekend? The Chicago
- 27:45Speaker 3: Bears just put up 59 points last week. Ben Johnson
- 27:50Speaker 3: might be the best play caller in the league, right?
- 27:53Speaker 5: Might be.
- 27:54Speaker 3: He's facing a Minnesota team that has maybe the best
- 27:57Speaker 3: defensive play caller in the league in Brian Flores, who
- 28:00Speaker 3: they found a way to beat the Packers on their
- 28:04Speaker 3: starting camp third string quarterback. Here's what Ben Johnson said
- 28:07Speaker 3: about that matchup.
- 28:08Speaker 7: Not only is he very accomplished, but someone that you
- 28:10Speaker 7: have faced so many times. Is there ever a trap
- 28:13Speaker 7: to avoid of just overthinking and trying to guess what
- 28:16Speaker 7: he thinks you think he thinks you think he.
- 28:19Speaker 5: Thinks you're going to do? Yeah, yes, there is. How
- 28:24Speaker 5: do you avoid going down a path where you're just
- 28:27Speaker 5: overdoing it? I'm in that path right now.
- 28:31Speaker 3: I think the Bears-Vikings game, let me tell you this
- 28:33Speaker 3: right now, if the Vikings find a way to beat
- 28:35Speaker 3: the Bears, Then all of a sudden I'm just like, okay,
- 28:39Speaker 3: then the quarterbacks don't matter for Kevin O'Connell and the
- 28:41Speaker 3: Vikings will just always win. It doesn't matter. But at
- 28:44Speaker 3: the same time, if the Bears put up 40 points
- 28:47Speaker 3: on the Vikings defense, then they're going to be the
- 28:49Speaker 3: highest scoring offense that's ever existed. And I don't understand
- 28:55Speaker 3: how a coach, and this is much the same way
- 28:57Speaker 3: as Liam Cohen when he took over for the Jags.
- 29:00Speaker 3: How does a coach take virtually the same talent that
- 29:03Speaker 3: somebody else had And just absolutely demolish with it. We
- 29:07Speaker 3: played the clip the other day. You guys remember this?
- 29:10Speaker 3: Remember what we played over and over again two years
- 29:12Speaker 3: ago when Matt Eberflus was the head coach, Caleb Williams
- 29:15Speaker 3: rookie year.
- 29:16Speaker 2: The phone call thing?
- 29:19Speaker 3: Your phone connection's as bad as your offense?
- 29:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Coach, your cell phone's as bad as the offense right now.
- 29:25Speaker 3: And we were like, wow. This is 2024.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Can we get a freaking landline?
- 29:30Speaker 3: And Ben Johnson takes over. And that team scores a
- 29:33Speaker 3: billion points with like the same dudes.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's a reflection of your coach's attitude.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I mean, and, and, your coach comes in with that attitude,
- 29:42Speaker 1: like Ben Johnson.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Did, your team starts to play like, yeah, we're going
- 29:46Speaker 3: to score, of course.
- 29:47Speaker 1: And they're having fun. I mean, I know it sounds stupid, but, like,
- 29:52Speaker 1: some of the post-game shenanigans that Ben Johnson does, players
- 29:55Speaker 1: love it.
- 29:55Speaker 2: I know.
- 29:55Speaker 5: I know.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Ripping his shirt off and stuff like.
- 29:57Speaker 2: That in the locker room.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it becomes ingrained, man.
- 30:01Speaker 2: If you go back to his time with the Lions, too,
- 30:04Speaker 2: he started working his way up the food chain on
- 30:06Speaker 2: the offensive side of the football before he finally became O.C.
- 30:10Speaker 2: He was a quality control guy, then he was a
- 30:14Speaker 2: A tight end guy. And then he was a passing
- 30:17Speaker 2: game guy. Then he finally took control of the whole. Oh,
- 30:20Speaker 2: and this is in his 30s he's doing this.
- 30:21Speaker 3: And that's when the Lions offense exploded.
- 30:23Speaker 2: And that's when the frigging Detroit. That's when Jared Goff.
- 30:28Speaker 2: That's when they finally took off. And Goff looked like.
- 30:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Looked like the guy that the Rams thought they were
- 30:35Speaker 2: going to get when they drafted him. You know what
- 30:36Speaker 2: I mean? It's amazing. Just amazing.
- 30:39Speaker 3: It's incredible to me how, like, just one coach can
- 30:43Speaker 3: do that. He can just take over with similar talent
- 30:47Speaker 3: to the year prior and just be like, yeah, your
- 30:49Speaker 3: 17 points per game that you scored is now going
- 30:51Speaker 3: to turn into 30. Because I'm just, I know more.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Sean Payton did it in Denver.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Sure he did.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Now, we're talking about the Broncos offense needing to be
- 31:01Speaker 3: better now.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Yeah, but Vic, he didn't really. I mean, he cleared
- 31:06Speaker 2: out his fair share of guys who were the old regime.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Man, I've seen some coaches take off with the same
- 31:12Speaker 1: talent before. Do you remember? What year was it? I'm
- 31:17Speaker 1: not going to go to the internet. I'm not going
- 31:19Speaker 1: to resort on AI. I'm just going to guess. Do
- 31:23Speaker 1: you guys remember, Moj, when George Carl came in mid-season
- 31:28Speaker 1: to take over the coaching duties in Denver?
- 31:30Speaker 2: Oh, that's got to be 2000 and... And then they
- 31:31Speaker 2: ran off the street.
- 31:32Speaker 1: That was absolutely insane. Yeah, 2000... They won... Brett, Brett.
- 31:37Speaker 1: He took over in like late January, February.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Like 05? And the run that the Nuggets went on
- 31:42Speaker 2: was absurd.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to say like, Oh, four or five.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Right. Right around there.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:49Speaker 1: And it was the same team.
- 31:51Speaker 3: And just took off.
- 31:52Speaker 1: It just, all of a sudden, I think they went
- 31:55Speaker 1: 38 and three or something stupid like that. Finish that.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Well, think about this. Uh, another example, Mark Jackson was
- 32:02Speaker 3: the coach of golden state with Steph Curry and dream
- 32:04Speaker 3: on green and clay Thompson. And the next year, Steve
- 32:07Speaker 3: Kerr took over and he ran that small ball lineup
- 32:10Speaker 3: and they dominated once.
- 32:12Speaker 6: They did it.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Um, What did you say, Nelly?
- 32:15Speaker 5: Sorry.
- 32:16Speaker 6: We got a keyword.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Oh, we got a keyword.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Keyword for this hour is waiting. So
- 32:21Speaker 3: text that in your first and last name to 303-504-0925.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Gives you a chance to get in the door on
- 32:27Speaker 3: opening night.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Last thing.
- 32:28Speaker 2: The late, great Bum Phillips. You know, his thought for
- 32:34Speaker 2: a good coach? Yep. He can take his in and
- 32:36Speaker 2: beat your in, and he can take your in and
- 32:38Speaker 2: beat his in.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. What the best ones do. Oh, by the way, next. Oh,
- 32:42Speaker 3: by the way, stories around sports in the world we
- 32:45Speaker 3: feel like you should be aware of. There is one thing,
- 32:47Speaker 3: if I can start. We didn't really talk about this much.
- 32:53Speaker 3: So there is obviously a lot of attention that's being
- 32:57Speaker 3: brought on Prime going into year four and what he
- 33:01Speaker 3: can do with the CU team that started 2-0. Can
- 33:05Speaker 3: he get an upset win against Northwestern this weekend? But
- 33:08Speaker 3: there's another story that I think equally is as big
- 33:12Speaker 3: Another team that started the year 2-0, and that's Bill
- 33:14Speaker 3: Belichick's UNC Tar Heels. We kind of, like, didn't discuss
- 33:21Speaker 3: what felt like a pretty big story of Michael Lombardi
- 33:24Speaker 3: resigning under some scrupulous circumstances, and now his son, Steve Belichick,
- 33:29Speaker 3: who was the defensive coordinator, resigned. He was on medical
- 33:33Speaker 3: leave since August 6th. It's a big story about this,
- 33:36Speaker 3: a possible drug use going on, like... A lot of
- 33:39Speaker 3: weird things happening around the UNC. We got weird stuff,
- 33:42Speaker 3: but we are a good team. We're going to win
- 33:45Speaker 3: again this week. And can't you see?
- 33:46Speaker 1: Remember when Michael Lombardi was a weekly guest on this show?
- 33:50Speaker 2: I sure do.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Well, it's just, it's pretty bizarre that that has been
- 33:56Speaker 3: sort of swept under the rug. Remember when the Belichick
- 33:59Speaker 3: era started and it was the Jordan Hudson news all
- 34:02Speaker 3: the time and they weren't very good. Like it felt
- 34:04Speaker 3: like this could have been heading for disaster and If
- 34:07Speaker 3: they continue to win, maybe all this gets brushed off
- 34:10Speaker 3: to the side, but that's a pretty wild start.
- 34:12Speaker 2: So what are you telling me? They're going to blast
- 34:14Speaker 2: Clemson this weekend?
- 34:16Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I just think Clemson is terrible.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Going to Clemson, I don't know. I'll tell you what, though, man.
- 34:22Speaker 3: UNC to start the year that went against TCU, it
- 34:25Speaker 3: was ugly in Dublin, but it was a good win.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Who did they beat last week? I didn't pay attention.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Eastern Tennessee or something like that. But Clemson, I think
- 34:33Speaker 3: they'll win. Then they got the big test the following,
- 34:35Speaker 3: or two weeks after that, Vic, against your boys, Notre Dame.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, Vic, do you realize, I can't
- 34:42Speaker 2: believe this, Lionel Messi and Inter Miami won the, I
- 34:46Speaker 2: want to say it, Nelly, you have a good Spanish accent,
- 34:49Speaker 2: say the cup that they won last night. The campeones? The, uh, Campeones?
- 34:53Speaker 6: Copa de tu madre? What are you talking about?
- 34:57Speaker 1: The Campeones Cup. So it's the winner of....
- 35:03Speaker 2: MLS plays the winner of the Mexican League. League of Mexico.
- 35:07Speaker 5: You know what?
- 35:07Speaker 3: I want the cup of your mom to be super true.
- 35:11Speaker 2: But he scored it... Vic, you ready for this? Vic,
- 35:14Speaker 2: you ready for this? He scored his 100th goal for
- 35:18Speaker 2: Inter Miami last night in the win. How weird is...
- 35:22Speaker 2: He's only been here four years. The guy's just pouring
- 35:24Speaker 2: it in the back of the net still.
- 35:25Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Oh, by the way.
- 35:27Speaker 3: He also just recently was the player of the tournament
- 35:34Speaker 3: in the World Cup.
- 35:35Speaker 2: I know.
- 35:36Speaker 1: At the age of 37.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is a frigging machine, man. It's crazy.
- 35:42Speaker 5: Anyway.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, the Atlanta Hawks are crazy. That's
- 35:47Speaker 1: a crazy franchise. These people are crazy. Who owns that
- 35:49Speaker 1: franchise again? Who's that actress?
- 35:53Speaker 2: The chick from Lost Boys. What's her name? I don't know.
- 35:56Speaker 1: You know the 80s.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Lost Boys chick.
- 35:57Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. All right.
- 35:59Speaker 1: So last year, if you guys remember, and the NBA
- 36:02Speaker 1: wouldn't allow it, they tried to have a stripper night
- 36:05Speaker 1: at one of the games.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Yeah, Magic City.
- 36:06Speaker 4: Remember that?
- 36:07Speaker 1: Magic City night.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:10Speaker 1: And it got denied. And finally, the NBA, the adults said, no,
- 36:15Speaker 1: we're not doing that. So this year, you know what
- 36:17Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks are doing? They just released the press release.
- 36:20Speaker 1: It's called Single AF Night. Single AF Night. Designed to
- 36:30Speaker 1: bring singles together for an unforgettable night of basketball entertainment
- 36:36Speaker 1: and connection. Single AF Night will provide fans with unique
- 36:40Speaker 1: opportunities to meet and mingle while experiencing the excitement of
- 36:45Speaker 1: Hawks basketball.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Hey, also, Vic, in November, they have Copa de Tumadre night.
- 36:55Speaker 1: I still think Copa de Tumadre needs to happen.
- 37:00Speaker 3: What can we, hang on, hang on. We got to
- 37:02Speaker 3: come up with some game on the Broncos schedule that is,
- 37:05Speaker 3: you know what, the second Chiefs game is Copa de
- 37:07Speaker 3: Tumadre night.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Game break.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, oh, by the way, when the
- 37:13Speaker 2: Colorado Avalanche face the L.A. Kings on opening night, the L.A.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Kings will have a brand-new captain who's actually been there
- 37:20Speaker 2: for 18 years.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Drew Dowdy.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Drew Dowdy.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 37:27Speaker 2: Yeah, because Dustin Brown was the captain when he was gone.
- 37:30Speaker 2: They named Kopitar as the captain back in 2016. So
- 37:34Speaker 2: Dowdy's never had the captaincy, despite being– one of the
- 37:37Speaker 2: best players in franchise history, and now he's got it.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, we know that, look, it happens,
- 37:46Speaker 3: but it's pretty rare, guys, when a hometown announcing team
- 37:51Speaker 3: gets really critical of the team that they're talking about, right?
- 37:55Speaker 3: The best example of somebody that I know does this
- 37:58Speaker 3: is Paul Allen in Minnesota for the Vikings. Paul Allen
- 38:01Speaker 3: has no idea.
- 38:02Speaker 2: He wears it on his sleeve.
- 38:03Speaker 3: No problem ripping his own guys. But how rare is
- 38:06Speaker 3: it for the hometown broadcaster to rip the hometown players, right?
- 38:09Speaker 2: It's not often. It doesn't happen that often.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Unless you're the Mets. Pop Fly, they're playing against Baltimore.
- 38:18Speaker 3: By the way, Pete Alonso hit another absolute nuke against
- 38:22Speaker 3: his former team. Pop Fly left field. In left field,
- 38:25Speaker 3: you have Juan Soto. At third base, you have Bo Bichette.
- 38:30Speaker 3: And at shortstop, you have Francisco Lindor. Three really good
- 38:32Speaker 3: players that are worth a whole bunch of money. Pop
- 38:36Speaker 3: flies in between all of them. They're sort of closing
- 38:38Speaker 3: in the triangle, right? And then this happens. Terenzo is
- 38:41Speaker 3: one of the best defensive catchers in baseball.
- 38:44Speaker 5: Gets that one in his favor.
- 38:45Speaker 3: And Encarnacion Strand pops.
- 38:47Speaker 6: An 0-2 up.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Lindor ranging out into shallow left.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And the ball will drop!
- 38:52Speaker 2: Lindor, Bichette, and Soto....
- 38:55Speaker 3: About a billion dollars worth of Mets out in left field,
- 38:59Speaker 3: and none of them could pick it up. A billion
- 39:03Speaker 3: dollars worth of Mets in left field and nobody would
- 39:05Speaker 3: pick it up?
- 39:06Speaker 2: That's a pretty good line. That's a pretty good line.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, if you're looking for a show
- 39:15Speaker 1: on television, I know, Mose, you have no time for
- 39:17Speaker 1: television shows. You always tell us you don't. But those
- 39:20Speaker 1: of us who do watch television on occasion, a wind down, whatever,
- 39:23Speaker 1: I can't believe I love this show. I can't get
- 39:26Speaker 1: enough of it. My wife and I watch it together.
- 39:28Speaker 1: Very few shows that we watch together, to be honest.
- 39:30Speaker 1: with you, and this is one of them. Chad Powers.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I can't do it.
- 39:35Speaker 3: It looks too nerdy.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I heard it's funny. I'm telling you right now, you
- 39:38Speaker 1: have to give it a chance. You look at it
- 39:40Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, this is stupid. It's a takeoff
- 39:43Speaker 1: on what Eli Manning did with his masquerading as a
- 39:45Speaker 1: fake quarterback. It is one of the most well-written... Shows out.
- 39:51Speaker 1: It is hilarious. It's so dumb. The plot's so dumb
- 39:55Speaker 1: that it's funny. But the lines in this show, I'm
- 39:58Speaker 1: telling you, you will not be disappointed.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Is he supposed to be a former pro quarterback who
- 40:03Speaker 2: goes back to college?
- 40:04Speaker 1: No, he's a college quarterback who used all his eligibility.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Later in life, he wanted to redeem himself. Went undercover
- 40:11Speaker 1: at South Georgia University. And it is, I'm telling you,
- 40:16Speaker 1: You'll sit there and look at some of the lines
- 40:18Speaker 1: and just laugh your butt off. It is so good.
- 40:21Speaker 1: We binged like four episodes last night.
- 40:23Speaker 2: I did go back and watch Eli's Chad Powers thing.
- 40:26Speaker 2: I think it was last week, but it was still
- 40:29Speaker 2: really well done. I thought it was really well done.
- 40:31Speaker 1: But this is next level. This is like real Hollywood
- 40:34Speaker 1: writers and actors. The actor, the lead actor is that
- 40:37Speaker 1: guy who played in Top Gun 2. Right.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Wait, what's his... Miles Teller? Glenn Powell.
- 40:44Speaker 2: No, no, Glenn Powell.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Glenn Powell.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Oh.
- 40:47Speaker 2: He's the one that shot the fighter jet off the
- 40:53Speaker 2: tail of the F-14.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's so ridiculous.
- 40:56Speaker 2: It's funny.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Every great show, by the way, it's all funny. It's comedy.
- 41:00Speaker 1: But there's always an undertone. There's always a love story.
- 41:05Speaker 1: And there's a love story in Chad Powers, believe it
- 41:07Speaker 1: or not. So Chick falls in love with some guy
- 41:12Speaker 1: wearing makeup. Like a fake nose? And then happen to you?
- 41:17Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, what do you think of this, Moj?
- 41:19Speaker 3: Is this accurate? Nikita Kucherov, at their press conference heading
- 41:23Speaker 3: into training camp, said, quote, the game is faster, but
- 41:27Speaker 3: it's very dumb. Low IQ.
- 41:30Speaker 2: They're talking about the speed of the game.
- 41:34Speaker 1: You know, I.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Think there's something to that. I mean, you've got to
- 41:40Speaker 2: be able to skate now to be able to play
- 41:41Speaker 2: in this league, though. You've got to be able to skate.
- 41:44Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a must. Brett, there was a
- 41:46Speaker 2: time when guys really couldn't skate that well, if you
- 41:48Speaker 2: can believe that. Or Peter McNabb would tell me stories.
- 41:52Speaker 2: He had a guy on his team that couldn't skate backwards.
- 41:56Speaker 5: What?
- 41:56Speaker 3: But he was a pro?
- 41:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:57Speaker 3: What?
- 41:58Speaker 2: In Boston. I mean, he could, but he was awful.
- 42:00Speaker 2: The guy was awful. And now it's like, holy crap.
- 42:05Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit to that, yeah.
- 42:08Speaker 1: A little bit.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Emphasis on one part of the game and maybe not
- 42:12Speaker 2: the brain side of the game. But listen, Kucherov's brain
- 42:14Speaker 2: is huge. He's an unbelievably good playmaker, so he can
- 42:17Speaker 2: say it.
- 42:19Speaker 3: Can I say something real quick, by the way, going
- 42:20Speaker 3: back to Monday night's game? So Taylor Swift was in
- 42:22Speaker 3: attendance to watch her husband play football. And we know
- 42:25Speaker 3: the cutaways to Taylor Swift that happen all the time,
- 42:27Speaker 3: especially when she's sitting next to Tom Cruise. There's going
- 42:29Speaker 3: to be a bunch. But she, I actually, you know what?
- 42:35Speaker 3: I feel bad for her. How many times, if they
- 42:40Speaker 3: did a cutaway to Travis Kelsey on the field, was
- 42:43Speaker 3: it an immediate cutback to Taylor Swift? And there was
- 42:45Speaker 3: a point in that game where they're showing Travis Kelsey
- 42:49Speaker 3: in the Chiefs offense in a huddle. And she's looking
- 42:53Speaker 3: at the TV that's inside her luxury suite. And she
- 42:57Speaker 3: is saying, don't show me, don't show me, don't show me.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Get it off, get it off, get it off.
- 43:01Speaker 3: She's annoyed as hell by it, too. But you know what?
- 43:03Speaker 3: Good for you. I'm sure she would be. But I
- 43:06Speaker 3: think we're all annoyed by it, including the person who's
- 43:08Speaker 3: the subject of it.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Agreed. Oh, by the way, Tom Cruise, what's his real name?
- 43:14Speaker 1: He changed his name?
- 43:16Speaker 3: Is that a Hollywood name?
- 43:17Speaker 6: It's like Thomas Mopother III.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Thomas Cruise Mopother IV. Really?
- 43:24Speaker 1: Really.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:25Speaker 1: I didn't know he changed his name.
- 43:26Speaker 2: He's a Maypother.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, by the way, one last one quickly. I
- 43:31Speaker 1: have to admit this. So we're preparing for the game
- 43:34Speaker 1: of the year. Valor, Cherry Creek. Number one versus number
- 43:37Speaker 1: two tomorrow night at Valor.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Coach Sanford, Coach Logan. I'm on the phone with Coach
- 43:42Speaker 1: Logan yesterday. We're trying to go through his roster. And
- 43:46Speaker 1: I said, I asked AI, I asked my AI, hey,
- 43:49Speaker 1: give me the updated Cherry Creek roster. And as I'm
- 43:52Speaker 1: going through it, So I'm starting to spit out these
- 43:54Speaker 1: names at Logan. I'm saying, hey, is this guy going
- 43:55Speaker 1: to play? I spit out three straight names. And he goes,
- 43:58Speaker 1: I've never heard of these people. Hey, I just made
- 44:00Speaker 1: up names.
- 44:03Speaker 3: So you can't really trust Seth for your prep?
- 44:07Speaker 1: I gave him three straight names. He's like, I don't
- 44:09Speaker 1: know who that person is.
- 44:10Speaker 3: Hey, cutie. I'll tell you something right now. Tom Maypother
- 44:15Speaker 3: is not a movie star.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Do you think he'd be the same? Do you think
- 44:18Speaker 1: he would be as successful?
- 44:19Speaker 3: Tom Maypother is not Top Gun. Tom Maypother is not
- 44:24Speaker 3: Mission Impossible. Tom Maypother is a CSI Extra. Tom Cruise
- 44:29Speaker 3: is a star.
- 44:32Speaker 2: And what's he do best, Vic? What's he do best?
- 44:35Speaker 1: Runs.
- 44:36Speaker 5: He runs.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Sprints. Hey, you shouldn't talk, Brett Cain. Spells his name
- 44:40Speaker 1: differently for the show.
- 44:41Speaker 3: My name is Brett Cain. That's my name.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:44Speaker 3: That is my name.
- 44:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:44Speaker 3: I didn't change my name. That's my name.
- 44:46Speaker 1: All right, Brett. All right, Brett Cohn.
- 44:48Speaker 3: That's not my name.
- 44:49Speaker 1: My name is Brett Cohn. Okay, Brett Cohn. How do
- 44:51Speaker 1: you spell your name, Brett Cohn?
- 44:52Speaker 2: Is it too late in life for me to become Giancarlo?
- 44:55Speaker 5: No.
- 44:55Speaker 1: You can do it any time you want.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Can I? I want to be Giancarlo Chavez.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Moj, you can be Giancarlo if you wear the muscle suit.
- 45:05Speaker 5: 100%.
- 45:07Speaker 3: If you wear the muscle suit, I'll call you Giancarlo.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Hey, you don't want me to go by my real name.
- 45:11Speaker 1: There's not enough room on the graph. Yeah, you know what?
- 45:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:15Speaker 1: If you want to do the name thing, I'll go
- 45:17Speaker 1: by my real name and we'll see what happens.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Was that a Bambini thing or a great easy thing?
- 45:21Speaker 2: Where'd that come from?
- 45:22Speaker 3: Which one? Or both? I don't know. Because it's long.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Got to get to Jeff Legwald. He joins us next.
