8-13-26 Hour 1 - No Nix in preseason game #1/Russell Westbrook retires/Pre-preseason rankings · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00
Speaker 1: Kind of our first real practice devoted towards Atlanta, we'll
0:04
Speaker 1: kind of go through the roles, expecting our starters to
0:08
Speaker 1: play around fifteen plays. Bo won't play in this game,
0:10
Speaker 1: he'll play next week.
0:12
Speaker 2: Is that like because of the where you're at on
0:15
Speaker 2: the offensive line or just your you're playing.
0:17
Speaker 3: No.
0:17
Speaker 1: I think, look, if we were playing a game, you
0:19
Speaker 1: guys have watched practice, he would you know he wants
0:23
Speaker 1: to play, and we've got he'll play the next two weeks.
0:26
Speaker 1: I think that was probably something that was already decided, maybe.
0:32
Speaker 4: Like a month ago.
0:34
Speaker 1: But if we were playing a game, I would say
0:37
Speaker 1: he would play, and you'd have to ask him, but
0:39
Speaker 1: I would say.
0:43
Speaker 5: Probably smart.
0:45
Speaker 3: Sean Payton yesterday talking about bow Knicks not playing. You
0:49
Speaker 3: will travel to Atlanta to be with the team, but
0:52
Speaker 3: not gonna play in that first preseason game.
0:56
Speaker 5: But why, you know, abundance of caution?
1:01
Speaker 3: Like, guys, if tomorrow was the chiefs opener, onex's playing football,
1:07
Speaker 3: of course he's playing. So I just think it's an
1:10
Speaker 3: abundance of caution. You're like, you know, why push it?
1:13
Speaker 2: Fine?
1:13
Speaker 4: You guys always say that, But why what's up from? Again?
1:16
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
1:17
Speaker 4: I think it's an SNL skit. You guys always do it.
1:21
Speaker 4: I leave myself out of it because I think it's
1:24
Speaker 4: kind of stupid.
1:25
Speaker 3: You know, but you always I'm sorry, far far be
1:28
Speaker 3: it to say something stupid on this program.
1:31
Speaker 4: All right, So I usually excuse myself and remove myself
1:35
Speaker 4: from that particular conversation between you two hooligans.
1:38
Speaker 3: But one of my favorite things I've said on the
1:40
Speaker 3: show is because you're stupid.
1:44
Speaker 4: Stupid. Curiosity killed the cat at seven oh two in
1:47
Speaker 4: the morning. Go ahead, So Bonis Boenix is gonna travel,
1:51
Speaker 4: He's gonna get a big steak on the airplane. He's
1:53
Speaker 4: gonna listen to Davis Webb call in plays, to Stidham
1:56
Speaker 4: and to Ellinger Ellinger, Ellinger. I'm going with Ellinger. I
2:02
Speaker 4: guess I'm calling him Ellinger. I guess it comes down
2:05
Speaker 4: to this.
2:05
Speaker 6: By the way, did did coach specify which of the
2:08
Speaker 6: quarterbacks will start?
2:09
Speaker 4: Uh?
2:09
Speaker 3: Well, Stidham's listed is the number two on the unofficial
2:12
Speaker 3: depth chart, so I would assume he is going to
2:14
Speaker 3: get that.
2:15
Speaker 6: I assume that the bon Nicks move is more out
2:18
Speaker 6: of hey, if we're gonna play him in any of
2:20
Speaker 6: these preseason games, let's play him at home in front
2:23
Speaker 6: of the hometown fans who get a chance to see him.
2:25
Speaker 6: And this way he doesn't have to play on turf.
2:28
Speaker 6: You know, one extra hurdle?
2:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, clear.
2:32
Speaker 6: It could have something to do with the offensive line,
2:35
Speaker 6: and the shuffle at center could have something to do
2:37
Speaker 6: with that. But yeah, nothing to see here.
2:40
Speaker 4: I guess. Oh, everybody's saying it's Will Ferrell doing Harry Carey.
2:45
Speaker 4: But why? But why? I don't know about that.
2:49
Speaker 5: Here's here's what I tell you.
2:50
Speaker 3: And there's things, and this is part of our job.
2:55
Speaker 3: There's things that like, I'm not all that interested in that,
2:58
Speaker 3: a lot of other people are, so I'm willing to
3:01
Speaker 3: talk about it for the sake of other people wanting to.
3:07
Speaker 3: I saw that Stidham's number two on the depth chart.
3:11
Speaker 3: I just have There's nothing in me that gets riled
3:15
Speaker 3: up about the backup quarterback thing. And I'm almost convinced
3:20
Speaker 3: now that the people that want Stidham gone and want
3:23
Speaker 3: Ellinger to be the number two. It's the same concept
3:28
Speaker 3: as if you have a bad starting quarterback, the most
3:31
Speaker 3: popular guy in your room is the backup. And why
3:36
Speaker 3: is that? Because I know what the starter can't do.
3:41
Speaker 3: I don't know what the backup can or can't do,
3:45
Speaker 3: so I want to see it. And I think a
3:47
Speaker 3: lot of people are basing their opinion of Jared Stidham
3:50
Speaker 3: off of an AFC championship game with a lot of
3:53
Speaker 3: variables that were thrown in the middle of it. One
3:55
Speaker 3: being he hasn't played an NFL snap for two years.
3:58
Speaker 3: The other being that the second half of that game
4:00
Speaker 3: he couldn't even see his wide receivers. And they're like, well,
4:03
Speaker 3: he was terrible in that game, and I go, yeah,
4:05
Speaker 3: and Drake May threw for eighty yards, Like, it's hard
4:09
Speaker 3: to really judge what that guy's capable of in that
4:13
Speaker 3: specific game because the circumstances were so weird.
4:16
Speaker 4: Now when the ball got knocked out of Drake May's hand.
4:20
Speaker 5: Now, listen to me. Here's my opinion.
4:24
Speaker 4: MOS.
4:24
Speaker 3: If you say I want sam Ellen Ellinger Ellinger to
4:27
Speaker 3: be the backup quarterback, you know what.
4:28
Speaker 5: I tell you. Okay, fine, I'm not gonna argue, go
4:33
Speaker 5: ahead and do it.
4:34
Speaker 3: But I think everybody's basing this off of an AFC
4:37
Speaker 3: championship game with Jared Stidham, in which I would tell
4:40
Speaker 3: you the circumstances surrounding that in the opportunities that he
4:43
Speaker 3: had to be successful weren't great, not ideal.
4:48
Speaker 4: Not ideal at all. And so yeah, it's the last
4:51
Speaker 4: reference point that you have. Is that game against the Patriots,
4:55
Speaker 4: a ten to seven ugly, ugly, disgusting, stupid game. I mean,
5:02
Speaker 4: if you look, if you look just directly at the stats,
5:04
Speaker 4: which is and everybody remembers the chess pass and so
5:07
Speaker 4: on and so forth. But as you talked about Kaner,
5:09
Speaker 4: if you look just at the stats, a guy who
5:13
Speaker 4: was an MVP candidate was terrible for through for eighty
5:18
Speaker 4: six yards on ten of twenty one passing with a
5:21
Speaker 4: rating of fifty eight point eight. It was the other
5:23
Speaker 4: guy who everybody wants the railroad out of town threw
5:26
Speaker 4: for one hundred and thirty three yards and a touchdown. Yeah,
5:29
Speaker 4: and had a rail of sixty three. I mean the
5:31
Speaker 4: stats were, I mean, the one pick.
5:34
Speaker 3: But same Allinger didn't do anything. So now same Allinger
5:37
Speaker 3: is the.
5:37
Speaker 4: Right, But yeah, he was just sitting around in a park,
5:39
Speaker 4: and so let's go, let's get that guy in there.
5:42
Speaker 6: You know, those cities always going to be evaluated, and
5:45
Speaker 6: you're always going to assess that game based on that
5:47
Speaker 6: one mistake.
5:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that one.
5:49
Speaker 6: You know when Shovel highlights of the AFC title game
5:51
Speaker 6: twenty years from now, it's the you know, the chess
5:54
Speaker 6: pass backwards.
5:55
Speaker 2: It's gonna come down to that.
5:56
Speaker 6: By the way, can you look up for me rushing
5:59
Speaker 6: yards New England versus Denver in that game because.
6:03
Speaker 4: Patriots had one hundred and forty one the Broncos had
6:05
Speaker 4: seventy nine.
6:06
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I mean that's that's the difference in the game.
6:08
Speaker 6: Can't run the ball. Can't run the ball.
6:11
Speaker 2: It's it's a blizzard. It's really the only thing you
6:14
Speaker 2: can do.
6:14
Speaker 4: During I mean, Marvin Mims had four catches for sixty
6:17
Speaker 4: two yards.
6:18
Speaker 3: Not to relitigate all this stuff because it doesn't matter, Like,
6:21
Speaker 3: can I just say I want to go on record
6:23
Speaker 3: with this, and there's nothing you or anybody listening can
6:27
Speaker 3: say to change my mind or go to my grave.
6:30
Speaker 3: I don't think that Shovel passes backwards. I still don't.
6:34
Speaker 3: I think he was falling backwards. He threw the ball forward.
6:37
Speaker 3: But as you fall back and you throw the ball forward,
6:39
Speaker 3: the ball is going to move back a little bit.
6:41
Speaker 5: It was going like this, It.
6:43
Speaker 3: Went in front of him, but was still traveling back.
6:47
Speaker 4: Okay, man, I look, I freakin hated geometry in high school.
6:53
Speaker 4: Hated it.
6:54
Speaker 5: I think that's physics.
6:56
Speaker 4: Oh geometry, Well, it's geometry's lines.
7:00
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the physics of things in motion.
7:02
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm talking about the geometry of angles to where
7:06
Speaker 4: the ball started to where it ended. Right, you know
7:09
Speaker 4: what I'm talking math analysis, Well, you talk all you
7:13
Speaker 4: I hate all of that stuff. My brain, that's backwards.
7:17
Speaker 4: That's what backwards looks like. That's not what the ball did.
7:20
Speaker 4: How about if I show you what backwards looks like
7:22
Speaker 4: with your head right now? Okay, go ahead, right, No, dude,
7:27
Speaker 4: maybe you're right.
7:29
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter.
7:30
Speaker 4: I'm gonna need one of those soon. Yeah. I mean, look,
7:36
Speaker 4: we'll find out tomorrow night how these guys look and
7:39
Speaker 4: what they do and blah blah blah. I mean again,
7:42
Speaker 4: this is where Stidham has one of these great preseason games.
7:45
Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is, though Victorio listen closely
7:48
Speaker 4: to me, the Broncos are really looking at the other
7:52
Speaker 4: guy too.
7:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
7:53
Speaker 4: I think I think to do your due diligence as
7:57
Speaker 4: a as an organization, as a coach, you've got to
8:00
Speaker 4: be keeping all your options open at all times, and
8:05
Speaker 4: that's what I think they're doing.
8:08
Speaker 3: Another factor in this that people keep bringing up, and
8:10
Speaker 3: I think, Vick, you addressed this the other day and
8:12
Speaker 3: I'm with you on it, it's that Jared Stidham and
8:17
Speaker 3: his contract. He sounded a two year, twelve million dollars deal.
8:20
Speaker 3: He's in year two of that. If they cut him,
8:24
Speaker 3: they save like four and a half million dollars or
8:27
Speaker 3: something like that. And I'm just like to do what
8:28
Speaker 3: with you have four and a half million for this
8:30
Speaker 3: year and then what.
8:31
Speaker 6: You need it next year? You don't need it this year.
8:33
Speaker 6: You're not doing anything with it this year. You might
8:35
Speaker 6: as well play keep him on the roster next year.
8:37
Speaker 6: It's a different story, right right.
8:40
Speaker 3: But that's one aspect of this unofficial depth chart being released.
8:43
Speaker 3: The other one was, did you guys see they have
8:46
Speaker 3: three starting wide receivers on this team.
8:48
Speaker 5: It's Courtland Sutton, It's Jalen Model.
8:50
Speaker 4: And Marvin Mims.
8:52
Speaker 3: Mims surprised by that that it's not Pat Bryan over there?
8:57
Speaker 4: No, I think, yeah, I Brian backs up, Yeah, that's
9:01
Speaker 4: his that's his deal.
9:04
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, I I feel, and maybe I
9:06
Speaker 3: should go back and look this up.
9:07
Speaker 5: But I feel like this is right.
9:09
Speaker 3: I think Mems was in the same spot last year
9:11
Speaker 3: at this point in the calendar and then didn't play it,
9:15
Speaker 3: didn't play again.
9:17
Speaker 4: Every time I look up, he's making plays.
9:19
Speaker 5: I know.
9:19
Speaker 4: I just done told you that he was the leading
9:21
Speaker 4: receiver in the AFC title game, in that friggin squall.
9:24
Speaker 5: Well, when two guys have a concussion and Hammy agreed.
9:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just saying that it's they utilize him at
9:32
Speaker 4: times out of need or out of want.
9:36
Speaker 5: Who's gonna snap the ball tomorrow night? Yeah, I don't know.
9:40
Speaker 4: That's my mom do that. I don't know. I'm having
9:44
Speaker 4: a day. I'm already having a day.
9:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's your problem? Is unnecessary? What's your deal?
9:50
Speaker 4: I got out of the house a little bit late today.
9:52
Speaker 4: Oh and then on my own street, I had to
9:55
Speaker 4: wait for a deer crossing. A bunch of deer took
9:58
Speaker 4: their time crossing my including a baby, like there was
10:02
Speaker 4: a fun. I'm like, that's too late in the season
10:04
Speaker 4: for fun. Is Luke Wattenberg cleared? I don't think he is.
10:10
Speaker 4: I don't know.
10:11
Speaker 5: Well, here's what's foresight.
10:12
Speaker 4: I don't think he is.
10:13
Speaker 5: Two days ago they were asked. They Sean Payton about
10:16
Speaker 5: the centers.
10:16
Speaker 4: Here you go, we'll work it. Yeah, we have guys
10:19
Speaker 4: that are flexible. We'll be we'll be fine.
10:23
Speaker 3: Same question.
10:23
Speaker 5: We'll be good on that.
10:25
Speaker 4: No, okay, no, no, I just eleborate. Okay, Like, is
10:28
Speaker 4: Pelchuwsky gonna fill in there? I mean he's gonna go
10:30
Speaker 4: from tackle to center or.
10:31
Speaker 3: What he has he has, but I don't know. Like,
10:35
Speaker 3: and I think Vic you said this to start the show.
10:38
Speaker 3: I would say the same thing if bo Nicks is
10:42
Speaker 3: ninety seven percent healthy instead of one hundred and you're
10:45
Speaker 3: on center number four to start, No, thanks, just I'll
10:48
Speaker 3: pass pass.
10:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you have to start the game to Gavin
10:51
Speaker 6: or take it with all due respect.
10:53
Speaker 5: But he might be the guy snapping for all we know.
10:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, that poses an issue.
10:58
Speaker 6: That's it's the caution of the preseason never ceases to
11:03
Speaker 6: amaze me.
11:04
Speaker 2: Coaches, the depths, they will go to be cautious.
11:08
Speaker 6: I watched last night Fellas the first two episodes of
11:12
Speaker 6: Hard Knocks with the Seattle Seahawks to catch up. Yeah,
11:17
Speaker 6: that coach is a good coach, coach, Donald Mike McDonald, Yeah,
11:23
Speaker 6: not only a great singer.
11:24
Speaker 4: You don't know me, but I went Super Bowl.
11:28
Speaker 6: But he's a great culture coach, gets it, and I
11:33
Speaker 6: could see why Seattle has achieved what it has achieved
11:36
Speaker 6: so far.
11:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, give me, give me a little nelly vic.
11:39
Speaker 7: I saw the clip going around where there was some
11:41
Speaker 7: defensive end. I think, who is really getting after Sam
11:44
Speaker 7: Donald in practice? And he kept he kept saying, hey,
11:46
Speaker 7: you're getting too close to the quarterback. And the guy
11:48
Speaker 7: was getting up in his face and saying, Hey, I'm
11:50
Speaker 7: just trying to do my job, coach. And then Mike
11:52
Speaker 7: McDonald looks him right in the eyes and goes, turns out,
11:54
Speaker 7: I'm running the bleep in practice.
11:56
Speaker 2: I saw that.
11:56
Speaker 4: I did see the boy, Mike.
12:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he turned real quick.
12:01
Speaker 6: You know, he goes from fun loving coach off the
12:03
Speaker 6: field to once once the practice starts he's in control.
12:06
Speaker 4: Well and there's go ahead. Sorry.
12:08
Speaker 5: I just that matters, man. Culture matters.
12:11
Speaker 4: It matters in.
12:12
Speaker 6: Every sport, how you operate your franchise, how how the
12:16
Speaker 6: players react to one another and the coach.
12:19
Speaker 2: That stuff matters.
12:21
Speaker 3: Not to mention, he took over for Pete Carroll, Like
12:23
Speaker 3: that's not an easy thing just to take over for
12:26
Speaker 3: in all time great. Now, I'll tell you this. That's
12:29
Speaker 3: why I thought the conversation that he had with the
12:34
Speaker 3: Spurs head coach went my blinking on his name, Mitch, Mitch,
12:39
Speaker 3: Mitch sure, uh, Mitch miss Johnson, Mitch Johnson. Those two
12:45
Speaker 3: guys were in similar spots. He takes over for a
12:48
Speaker 3: hall of fame level head coach and Pete Carroll Mitch
12:51
Speaker 3: Johnson takes over for hall of fame head coach Greg Popovich,
12:54
Speaker 3: and it's like, how do you deal with that dynamic? Now,
12:56
Speaker 3: there's some audio from that that we'll get to a
12:58
Speaker 3: little bit later that I wanted to play. Yes, I
13:00
Speaker 3: forgot about it, but they they're talking about how to
13:04
Speaker 3: team build, and the Spurs basically go, well, here's how
13:07
Speaker 3: you do it when you have to. When you see
13:10
Speaker 3: a sixteen year old who's seven foot five and you
13:12
Speaker 3: can play basketball, you suck for a couple of years.
13:15
Speaker 2: And here's the term.
13:16
Speaker 6: The assistant GM of the Spurs during that conversation said, quote,
13:21
Speaker 6: we turned the team over for a chance to go
13:24
Speaker 6: get him. In other words, they tain't, Yeah, it was
13:28
Speaker 6: worth the risk.
13:29
Speaker 5: We'll get to that audio in just a little bit.
13:31
Speaker 4: Bread. I can't believe Nelly just knocked out what a
13:35
Speaker 4: fool believes. And I'm the only one who did anything.
13:38
Speaker 4: That's like one of Vic's favorites things to do in life.
13:41
Speaker 4: I know, I'm listening to the yacht rock version of
13:43
Speaker 4: it and it's even better. And then you don't like
13:46
Speaker 4: not better? I know you don't like it. Can you
13:48
Speaker 4: just throw from the take it from the top, please?
13:51
Speaker 5: No, we don't have to stand. What is yacht rock?
13:55
Speaker 6: It's taking that kind of music, right, that kind of music,
13:58
Speaker 6: bringing it back and giving it a little more flavor.
14:00
Speaker 7: Well, yacht rock is the genre, but you're talking about
14:03
Speaker 7: yacht house and people do remixes of it. Basically, the
14:07
Speaker 7: genre of yacht rock is like smooth kind of jams
14:11
Speaker 7: from the seventies and eighties that you would want to
14:12
Speaker 7: listen to when you're floating on the yachta.
14:14
Speaker 5: Yes, that's exactly So what what is it?
14:17
Speaker 4: But stuff like this, It's like somebody, somebody categorized all
14:20
Speaker 4: these songs. Is yacht rock? Give me Pablo Cruise.
14:25
Speaker 7: Phely Dan, anything by Christopher Cross, give me.
14:27
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
14:28
Speaker 4: Yes, give me some Pablo Cruise. If you.
14:34
Speaker 5: How about this is how about you just shut up
14:36
Speaker 5: still jukebox off.
14:37
Speaker 4: We're not playing your little.
14:40
Speaker 6: No, we're not doing this today. Okay, okay, we're not doing.
14:43
Speaker 6: Moser steps in all of a sudden starts to make
14:45
Speaker 6: a requests.
14:46
Speaker 5: Not only is he asking for songs, Jesus, he's giving
14:50
Speaker 5: him a finger gun.
14:51
Speaker 4: I got a partner with crime.
14:55
Speaker 7: It's it's an all request breakfast though Bojah Lobardi and
15:00
Speaker 7: in Chile.
15:03
Speaker 4: As a yacht.
15:09
Speaker 6: You know what's interesting, Moser as you sing that, you
15:12
Speaker 6: and Mike Michael McDonald have the same face.
15:15
Speaker 2: So it's very I could.
15:16
Speaker 5: See you do a bit crew if you just had
15:18
Speaker 5: a white go tea, if you had a white.
15:20
Speaker 2: Go tea, you have the same exact face. What man,
15:27
Speaker 2: and the words mean nothing. I don't even know what
15:29
Speaker 2: these words even mean.
15:31
Speaker 5: Man has the power?
15:32
Speaker 4: What the hell is that? Well, it's because you're dumb.
15:35
Speaker 4: You would not know that it could be dumb.
15:37
Speaker 2: It's about the melody. Nobody cares about the music.
15:40
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh my god, do you just need a
15:43
Speaker 5: white go tea?
15:44
Speaker 4: Dude?
15:45
Speaker 2: And I know you, I know you paint the top,
15:47
Speaker 2: Let it go. I'm not lately great.
15:49
Speaker 4: There is zero paint on this ma. How would I
15:52
Speaker 4: possibly paint.
15:53
Speaker 3: All right, Sorry, another dumb question because i've I've I've
15:56
Speaker 3: seen Scorsese too many times. He's why we alwod's got
16:00
Speaker 3: some caterpillars above his eyes? Why does the eyebrows not
16:04
Speaker 3: gray with the rest of his face?
16:07
Speaker 4: Wait?
16:07
Speaker 2: Can you get there? There's parts of the body that
16:09
Speaker 2: are still dark.
16:11
Speaker 4: But it's just it's.
16:12
Speaker 3: Striking how the eyebrows stay the same color, but the beard,
16:16
Speaker 3: the hair.
16:17
Speaker 4: So it's just like it's like, what's his face the
16:20
Speaker 4: dull hole that was here? Nurkic grapes don't match the carpet,
16:24
Speaker 4: that's it.
16:26
Speaker 2: How would you know that?
16:27
Speaker 4: Yeah?
16:29
Speaker 2: Awkward? Every time.
16:33
Speaker 4: Wed thing to say. Weird. If you look at Nurkic's head,
16:36
Speaker 4: it doesn't match his beard, Like there's two we're talking
16:39
Speaker 4: to totally different colors. That is not the context of
16:41
Speaker 4: the same that's the way I'm using That's not what I'm.
16:44
Speaker 5: Saying means.
16:49
Speaker 4: The carpet doesn't match the drips? Is that all right?
16:53
Speaker 5: All right?
16:55
Speaker 3: Three oh three five O four O nine two five
16:58
Speaker 3: A lot more to get to todays stiingram and it.
17:00
Speaker 4: Serves a hundred chips a day. Loneless Sailors passed the
17:06
Speaker 4: time away and talk about their home.
17:13
Speaker 5: In this hobby town, and she was like, I see most.
17:24
Speaker 4: No, you got me on it. No, hey, uh.
17:28
Speaker 3: I do have something that I would like to say
17:31
Speaker 3: regarding a certain player that I have always been fond of.
17:35
Speaker 6: I know where you're going, Yes, just a guess I
17:40
Speaker 6: didn't know where you were. Next words, name that tune?
17:43
Speaker 6: You want to shout out.
17:44
Speaker 2: The great career of Russell Westbrook?
17:45
Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
17:46
Speaker 5: Because Russell Westbrook retired yesterday.
17:49
Speaker 3: I guess he had offers from like the I think
17:52
Speaker 3: it was Kings and the Wizards, and he's like, nah,
17:54
Speaker 3: I'm done. But here's the thing, And I'll never understand this.
17:58
Speaker 3: I've tried to have people, ain't it to me. People
18:00
Speaker 3: have done a poor job of doing so. I have
18:03
Speaker 3: loved Russell Westbrook. He got in the league in two
18:04
Speaker 3: thousand and eight. I've loved him from two thousand and
18:07
Speaker 3: eight last year. I've long said I don't think there's
18:10
Speaker 3: anybody in any sport that has.
18:13
Speaker 5: Ever played harder than Russell Westbrook.
18:16
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean he's the best, but I'm talking about pure hustle, effort,
18:21
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. I don't think anybody's done that
18:23
Speaker 3: to a better extent than Russell Westbrook.
18:26
Speaker 6: Agree, You name another player in the league now who
18:29
Speaker 6: plays as hard and again, sometimes too hard sometimes missus
18:34
Speaker 6: wide open layup over does it? Yeah, but name another
18:38
Speaker 6: player who can match his hustle, his passion and his
18:42
Speaker 6: want to when he's on the court.
18:44
Speaker 5: Tell you this right now.
18:46
Speaker 3: If Russell Willisbrook, Russell Westbrook was on the Nuggets roster
18:50
Speaker 3: last year when Lou Dort stuck his keyster out and
18:54
Speaker 3: hit Yokichen the knee when he was running back down
18:56
Speaker 3: the floor after his knee injury, there's gonna be.
18:59
Speaker 5: Some repercussions for it.
19:00
Speaker 3: If McDaniels, yes, If Jayden Daniels, Jayden McDaniel daniels, I'm
19:04
Speaker 3: gonna do that forever.
19:06
Speaker 5: If Jaden McDaniels.
19:09
Speaker 3: Says what he says in the playoffs about the Nuggets
19:12
Speaker 3: roster and then playing defense, he's gonna feel something for it.
19:15
Speaker 6: If Russell Westbrook's on the roster. We thought about former
19:18
Speaker 6: NBA player and I brought up that exact thing.
19:21
Speaker 2: And it's not just me.
19:23
Speaker 6: Sometimes I think it's just me being that, you know,
19:25
Speaker 6: small man syndrome. Why didn't anybody do something about it?
19:29
Speaker 6: But I brought up that same sit and he said
19:31
Speaker 6: this former player said the same thing. Series was over
19:34
Speaker 6: in Game three when the Nuggets did nothing about Jayden McDaniels.
19:39
Speaker 4: We we said it. We said, were like, that's it.
19:43
Speaker 4: That's all I need to know.
19:45
Speaker 5: If that's gonna be the response, then that's all you
19:47
Speaker 5: need to know about the series. But that's the thing.
19:50
Speaker 6: Like then, Russell Westbrook, if he were on the roster,
19:53
Speaker 6: I'm completely confident.
19:55
Speaker 2: He would have done something about it.
19:57
Speaker 3: The competitive nature that he had is something that I
20:01
Speaker 3: truly think is unmatched. And I've never understood the hate
20:04
Speaker 3: that he gets. I'm never somebody explained it to me,
20:07
Speaker 3: Oh hates Russell Westbrook.
20:08
Speaker 2: There's certain things that.
20:11
Speaker 5: That he's a bleepole. Okay, the what that he's a
20:15
Speaker 5: bleep pole?
20:16
Speaker 2: No, I don't see.
20:17
Speaker 6: I don't think he's that in the locker room. Actually,
20:18
Speaker 6: he is a great guy. First of all, he does
20:22
Speaker 6: a lot of things for charity and the community. I mean,
20:25
Speaker 6: you go back to Oklahoma City and ask them what
20:27
Speaker 6: he's done for that community.
20:28
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things he does.
20:29
Speaker 4: Probably he'll be an okay, see legend forever, right Vick.
20:32
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, I saw him show up to a
20:34
Speaker 6: Nuggets practice one day and he gave every single member
20:36
Speaker 6: of the organization a set of his shoes, a pair
20:38
Speaker 6: of his shoes that he gets.
20:40
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean.
20:40
Speaker 6: Everybody, security guards, everybody. He's passing them out. So, I mean,
20:44
Speaker 6: I don't think that's the case. I think there are times.
20:47
Speaker 6: The only criticism I'll have of Russell Westbrook is this,
20:51
Speaker 6: there are times where he cares a little too much
20:54
Speaker 6: about his own personal stats.
20:56
Speaker 2: I've seen that.
20:58
Speaker 5: That's true.
20:59
Speaker 6: I've I've seen him going to that realm where stats
21:03
Speaker 6: are something that mattered to him.
21:06
Speaker 2: I can tell you this the one stat he's known for.
21:09
Speaker 5: He currently holds the holds the NBA record for triple doubles,
21:13
Speaker 5: two hundred and nine career triple doubles.
21:15
Speaker 4: That's gonna be surpassed maybe this season year.
21:18
Speaker 6: It might be surpassed by Christmas Joker is second right
21:23
Speaker 6: now with one hundred and ninety eight, so he needs
21:26
Speaker 6: eleven to catch twelve to surpass Nikola Jokicic will have
21:30
Speaker 6: that title by the obviously midpoint of this season.
21:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, that will I'm gonna be on record right now
21:38
Speaker 4: that will never be surpassed again.
21:40
Speaker 5: You never know, Well, I'm not won't be for a while.
21:43
Speaker 4: Well, okay, let's put it this way. When Joker is
21:45
Speaker 4: done with his career, he will set a triple double
21:48
Speaker 4: record total that will never be surpassed by another human being.
21:52
Speaker 5: It'll it'll feel.
21:53
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:54
Speaker 6: Somebody asked me, why wouldn't the Nuggets make you know,
21:57
Speaker 6: Nuggets need another ball handler, Nuggets need another guard on
22:00
Speaker 6: this roster they could only afford a veteran minimum. Why
22:04
Speaker 6: wouldn't they go back and bring Russell Westbrook to this
22:08
Speaker 6: roster now it don't want to play. I think there
22:11
Speaker 6: are a lot of I think it's a deeper issue.
22:13
Speaker 6: The way he left probably is the reason why he would.
22:17
Speaker 4: Not come back.
22:18
Speaker 6: He had a year left on his contract player option.
22:21
Speaker 6: He chose not to exercise that because, as he was told,
22:24
Speaker 6: he was not invited back.
22:26
Speaker 3: Why would they hold that against him if they didn't
22:28
Speaker 3: want him back and he said no, isn't that the
22:31
Speaker 3: right thing to do as opposed to holding the team
22:33
Speaker 3: hostage for a contract and forcing them to trade you
22:35
Speaker 3: or something.
22:37
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just telling you it could be a reason
22:40
Speaker 5: why he's not.
22:41
Speaker 3: All I'm asking vic is I don't that would almost
22:45
Speaker 3: be doing the Nuggets a favor as opposed to trying
22:47
Speaker 3: to salary dump him somewhere. Him just saying I'm not
22:49
Speaker 3: coming back because you don't want me is actually I
22:52
Speaker 3: think nice of him.
22:53
Speaker 6: Oh and by the way, the other one, and I
22:55
Speaker 6: think I don't have to make this official. I think
22:58
Speaker 6: you guys can see the right in on the way
23:00
Speaker 6: all here. Bruce Brown's last game as a Nugget was
23:03
Speaker 6: in the playoffs.
23:04
Speaker 2: He's not coming back.
23:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty clear. He wants to play still, Bruce
23:08
Speaker 5: dus Bruce is actively working out.
23:11
Speaker 4: He wants to play, but.
23:12
Speaker 2: He's not gonna play for the Nuggets this season.
23:15
Speaker 4: That's funny.
23:15
Speaker 6: So that's one of those comebacks where god, you know,
23:18
Speaker 6: you you just hold onto yesteryear and you say, gosh,
23:22
Speaker 6: it was such a And I'm not going to compare
23:25
Speaker 6: it to Noskadre because but it feels a lot like
23:28
Speaker 6: you go back into the well and you think magically
23:32
Speaker 6: that this is going to turn into something special again,
23:34
Speaker 6: and it just doesn't.
23:35
Speaker 3: I asked the question when they brought him back, and
23:37
Speaker 3: everybody was pumped about it.
23:38
Speaker 5: I was excited too. I love Bruce, but I said,
23:41
Speaker 5: does anybody find it weird?
23:42
Speaker 3: That he's played for like four teams in two years
23:45
Speaker 3: and everybody kind of like not plays him.
23:47
Speaker 5: Isn't that weird.
23:48
Speaker 4: I'm forever gonna be happy for him though, that he
23:50
Speaker 4: did get paid after the championship. Yeah, he took. I
23:52
Speaker 4: mean he absolutely and he should have gotten paid. And
23:57
Speaker 4: good for him because that, I mean, he leveraged his most. Yeah,
24:02
Speaker 4: he leverages time with the Nuggets in a good, good way.
24:04
Speaker 2: Now, championship season netted him fifty millie.
24:07
Speaker 6: He'll never won for a Cowboy hat ever again, and
24:11
Speaker 6: he may never buy a beer here in Denver again
24:13
Speaker 6: because fundamental peace.
24:16
Speaker 2: No doubt that championship season.
24:18
Speaker 3: The schedule, at least for the NBA comes out at
24:19
Speaker 3: one o'clock today. Now they have announced four additional games
24:24
Speaker 3: on the Nuggets schedule, and these are the NBA Cup
24:26
Speaker 3: games that they're playing in, so we know. The opening
24:29
Speaker 3: game is against OKC on the twenty second of October.
24:33
Speaker 3: They're playing Christmas Night against Golden State at eight thirty.
24:37
Speaker 3: Here's the other games. On October thirtieth, they're going on
24:40
Speaker 3: the road at Phoenix. On November twentieth, They're playing Houston
24:44
Speaker 3: at home on November twenty fourth, they're playing Dallas at home,
24:48
Speaker 3: and on November twenty seventh, they're playing at Utah. There's
24:52
Speaker 3: Those are the other games that we know of as
24:53
Speaker 3: of right now, with everything else coming out at one
24:55
Speaker 3: o'clock today.
24:56
Speaker 4: Are they still forcing this down my throat?
24:58
Speaker 2: The NBA Cup? Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a
25:04
Speaker 2: big fan of the NBA Cup.
25:06
Speaker 6: I'm not sure why they're so well, I know I
25:10
Speaker 6: know why, and most ads who promotes the NBA Cup
25:15
Speaker 6: I have no idea because I don't care. Brought to you, oh, Emirates. Yeah,
25:19
Speaker 6: look up the price tag for the NBA Cup, the
25:22
Speaker 6: sponsorship price tag.
25:24
Speaker 4: Look it up.
25:25
Speaker 6: How much did Emirates pay to promote and sponsor the
25:29
Speaker 6: NBA's NBA Cup And there's your reason.
25:33
Speaker 5: Hold on, please hold, please holding Now.
25:38
Speaker 2: Some of those games do get more exciting, some of
25:40
Speaker 2: them do.
25:41
Speaker 4: But the concept of the Cup, they're just trying to they're.
25:44
Speaker 2: Moving it this year. The championships no longer in Vegas.
25:47
Speaker 2: It's at Hinkle, that Henkle Arena and Butler.
25:51
Speaker 5: All right, so here you go.
25:52
Speaker 3: What the exact financial cost price at the multi year,
25:55
Speaker 3: multi year Emirates partnership has not been public publicly disclosed. However,
26:03
Speaker 3: company executives noted that a wide arranging global marketing partnership
26:07
Speaker 3: is estimated to help drive up to five hundred million
26:10
Speaker 3: per year in advertising and media value.
26:12
Speaker 5: So whatever that means. But yeah, uh, the the answer
26:17
Speaker 5: is a lot of money. I ain't asking for the
26:19
Speaker 5: world here now.
26:21
Speaker 4: I miss him.
26:22
Speaker 2: I missed that role. I missed that show.
26:24
Speaker 4: I know.
26:24
Speaker 3: Somebody said the Gemstones back. Somebody said that asking for
26:28
Speaker 3: eight mall and two million dollars. Somebody said that that.
26:31
Speaker 3: But why it's from that right?
26:34
Speaker 4: No, no, it's not. Okay, Well, I don't know.
26:37
Speaker 3: By the way, Walton Goggins in any show with Danny
26:40
Speaker 3: McBride is just fun.
26:42
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys watched show Vice Principles.
26:44
Speaker 4: That show was great for I thought it was pretty funny.
26:48
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing I wanted to give you guys
26:50
Speaker 3: from yesterday. So the Rockies win six to four. I
26:55
Speaker 3: just told you guys, tama Yuki Shugano has twelve wins
26:57
Speaker 3: on the year as a Rocky starter. The next closest guy,
27:00
Speaker 3: who's Ryan Feltner, had four. He now has five after yesterday.
27:05
Speaker 5: But I was doing the math.
27:08
Speaker 3: There are thirteen series left in the Rocky season thirteen,
27:13
Speaker 3: they're at forty eight wins. They need to get sixty
27:17
Speaker 3: three to avoid another one hundred loss season, which means
27:20
Speaker 3: they need a win in each series with two wins
27:24
Speaker 3: in two of them to reach that number. That's really doable,
27:28
Speaker 3: sounds extremely doable. It also is right on the money
27:32
Speaker 3: for what Sandford has shot. Four, which is the first
27:36
Speaker 3: game of the last series of the year against the
27:39
Speaker 3: Chicago White Sox. And I'm starting to get really scared
27:42
Speaker 3: about Mike Sandford over here.
27:44
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, so mind in fact, so scared that I
27:47
Speaker 6: finally went out and discovered where it lay.
27:51
Speaker 2: But I found it.
27:52
Speaker 5: Oh so, if he's right, I'm gonna turn him into
27:57
Speaker 5: a pumpkin or something.
27:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to.
28:00
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing.
28:02
Speaker 4: He very cinderellative.
28:03
Speaker 5: You did you guys watch the game yesterday at all
28:05
Speaker 5: middle of the day?
28:06
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did. Yeah.
28:08
Speaker 3: Do you see Zach Vine in his first game and
28:10
Speaker 3: a call up hitting the power?
28:14
Speaker 2: You know it's three eighteen power.
28:16
Speaker 3: I said this earlier, uh in the season, that they're
28:19
Speaker 3: going to have an interesting sort of dynamic in their outfield.
28:23
Speaker 5: Now they've made one decision. They traded Breton Doyle to
28:25
Speaker 5: the White Sox.
28:26
Speaker 3: But Tyler Freeman I think he got the call up
28:29
Speaker 3: because Freeman's on the ten dail right now. So you
28:32
Speaker 3: have Jake McCarthy, you have Mickey Moniac, you have Cole carrig,
28:35
Speaker 3: you have now Zach Viene, Tyler Freeman when he comes
28:39
Speaker 3: back from injury. You have all these different guys that
28:41
Speaker 3: are fighting. Not to mention, Jordan beck Is back on
28:44
Speaker 3: the big league roster.
28:45
Speaker 4: Too many outfielders. They got a ton but Vic I
28:48
Speaker 4: was listening to Drew talk about it yesterday. Then the
28:50
Speaker 4: guys were bentering back and forth and the bases were loaded.
28:54
Speaker 4: At the time, it was about a probably seventh inning
28:56
Speaker 4: something like maybe something like that. But you're looking at
28:59
Speaker 4: the guys on base, and Drew made the point, they've
29:01
Speaker 4: never been this athletic maybe ever. I know they are.
29:04
Speaker 4: Really if you look at these guys, Vic, you look
29:07
Speaker 4: at the way they run, the way they hit, the
29:09
Speaker 4: way I mean everything about that outfield. I mean really overall,
29:14
Speaker 4: they're a pretty athletic team. The first they can do,
29:17
Speaker 4: that's why they can lay down, beat out buns and
29:19
Speaker 4: you know, stripe into the alley and all kinds of stuff.
29:22
Speaker 3: Well, here's here's a getting more of it the next
29:25
Speaker 3: I would assume the next couple of years, the first
29:27
Speaker 3: seven guys in your lineup are going to look a
29:30
Speaker 3: lot like last night, which is McCarthy, Carrig, Rumfield, good Minmoniac,
29:35
Speaker 3: Zach Vine. They played Willie Castro at third, but that's
29:37
Speaker 3: usually Kyle Karros Like, that's all young players that are
29:41
Speaker 3: probably gonna be on their roster for the next couple
29:43
Speaker 3: of years. If you can just figure out some sort
29:45
Speaker 3: of pitching, maybe you got something fun to work with.
29:49
Speaker 3: But Zach Vine gets called up in the first game,
29:50
Speaker 3: drops bomb or right center.
29:52
Speaker 5: Love to see it?
29:54
Speaker 4: Good talk? What nothing? Good talk?
30:00
Speaker 5: Do you know what that was?
30:00
Speaker 3: By the way, what yesterday represented for the Colorado Rockies.
30:05
Speaker 3: It's the first time they've won a series in Arizona
30:07
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty two.
30:09
Speaker 5: Jesus, wow, see four years?
30:16
Speaker 4: All right? Think about that?
30:19
Speaker 3: Think about how many series have been played in Arizona
30:22
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty What's weird about that ballpark?
30:24
Speaker 7: Though?
30:24
Speaker 4: Even though it's the daytime, it feels like a nighttime
30:29
Speaker 4: game because the roof is closed, and it feel because
30:33
Speaker 4: it's so flipping hot down there and they have to
30:35
Speaker 4: close that roof and crank the ac. It feels like
30:38
Speaker 4: a night game. It just feels weird. I wish you
30:41
Speaker 4: had a natural sunlight coming through. I would you imagine the.
30:43
Speaker 2: AC bill on a joint like that in the middle
30:46
Speaker 2: of it.
30:46
Speaker 3: Well, they have they have a retractable roof, right, Oh,
30:49
Speaker 3: yeah they do, yes, But yeah, you're not doing that
30:51
Speaker 3: in August in Phoenix.
30:52
Speaker 4: It's like a one hundred and twelve.
30:54
Speaker 3: But moj I was there in August in Phoenix three
30:57
Speaker 3: years ago. He went to a d Backs and Rockies
30:59
Speaker 3: game there either.
31:00
Speaker 4: And then you've got you've got in a play fight
31:02
Speaker 4: with the right fielder and blah blah blah. No, no
31:04
Speaker 4: a left fielder.
31:06
Speaker 5: Dalton var Show was not playing.
31:08
Speaker 4: Oh he wasn't.
31:09
Speaker 2: He hated us.
31:09
Speaker 5: Oh, Randall Gritschik was the coolest guy in the world.
31:13
Speaker 4: That was your guy. That was your guy.
31:15
Speaker 3: Yes, But I walked in and I don't know if
31:18
Speaker 3: you guys have played indoor soccer before.
31:20
Speaker 5: It felt like an indoor soccer vibe. It was really weird.
31:24
Speaker 2: By the way, indoor soccer is violent.
31:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's physical. Vick, you lived in Arizona. You
31:31
Speaker 4: lived in Phoenix. Yes, I was there when they built
31:34
Speaker 4: that arena. My folks at stadium, Yeah, it's really nice.
31:38
Speaker 4: My folks live half the year in in Phoenix or
31:41
Speaker 4: at the Phoenix area. And I don't know, I don't
31:44
Speaker 4: know why. It was in July one year, I'm down
31:46
Speaker 4: down there and my dad was played golf. We teed
31:48
Speaker 4: off like a seven thirty in the morning, and Vick,
31:51
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding you, by nine I was dying. And
31:56
Speaker 4: I said to my old man, I got to quit
31:58
Speaker 4: after nine holes because I don't I don't feel well
32:00
Speaker 4: and I'm just down in bottles of water. And he
32:02
Speaker 4: says to me, well, I feel great. I said, yeah,
32:06
Speaker 4: I know you feel great, old man. I know that
32:09
Speaker 4: I can see that I'm going to die. So you
32:12
Speaker 4: get used to it. You know.
32:13
Speaker 6: The one thing about Arizona, it's not the heat in
32:16
Speaker 6: the morning, because you can understand it's going to get
32:19
Speaker 6: hotter as the day goes by. When I used to
32:21
Speaker 6: get out of work at ten thirty at night after
32:23
Speaker 6: a newscast, and you'd walk to your car and it's
32:25
Speaker 6: still one hundred and ten and the asphalt is so
32:27
Speaker 6: hot you can't take a step, and it's pitch dark.
32:30
Speaker 2: That's the part that's intolerable.
32:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I took a three eight. I took a
32:34
Speaker 4: cold shower and then fell down for three hours because
32:38
Speaker 4: I was dying.
32:38
Speaker 5: Well, guess what, Denver's becoming more and more like Phoenix
32:41
Speaker 5: every summer sea it was hot, this summer it was hot.
32:45
Speaker 5: Starting to change though today right eighties.
32:48
Speaker 4: For the next week, that's supposed to rain.
32:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, rain, rain, that's gonna be tough. The Savannah Bananas
32:53
Speaker 6: are in town this weekend.
32:56
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, I don't know if Moser knows this.
33:00
Speaker 3: There's somebody that's currently on our zoom feed, our television
33:05
Speaker 3: screen that is going to the Savan of Bananas.

33:31
Speaker 6: Who do you think the songwriter song their performer of
33:34
Speaker 6: choice will be that always has sort of an association
33:37
Speaker 6: with Denver.
33:38
Speaker 7: I didn't even know that they had a performer of choice.
33:40
Speaker 7: I'm just I'm just studying up on my Indianapolis Clowns stats.
33:43

Speaker 4: So keep your hot open cause love will find so.
35:37
Speaker 3: NFL dot com they've released their uh pre preseason power ranking.
35:44
Speaker 3: I'm just curious about how you guys feel about something.
35:47
Speaker 3: Just take a guess top of your head. The Denver
35:49
Speaker 3: Broncos rank where in NFL dot COM's pre preseason power rankings.
35:54
Speaker 4: I would say they are top five.
35:56
Speaker 5: Second, they are second.
35:59
Speaker 4: Wow.
36:01
Speaker 5: The only team ahead of them is the Rams. Rams
36:06
Speaker 5: are one, Broncos are two. Here's my question.
36:08
Speaker 4: That's that's a little lofty.
36:14
Speaker 5: Rams one, Broncos two.
36:15
Speaker 4: I only put them top five because I thought there'd
36:18
Speaker 4: be some residual effect from the AFC title game. But
36:21
Speaker 4: that's that's a little lofty to me. Dude.
36:24
Speaker 5: What do you think the Patriots are the team that
36:26
Speaker 5: won the AFC last year?
36:27
Speaker 4: Seventh? Yeah, siber ruder on there, twelfth, twelve.
36:31
Speaker 2: Wow, Well they had an easy schedule, easier.
36:37
Speaker 4: Sure, it's going to be a harder. What's that? It's
36:40
Speaker 4: going to be more difficult this year, obviously.
36:43
Speaker 5: And maybe it's them saying was Drake may Reel?
36:46
Speaker 4: Was that real? Let's see what happens. I don't know.
36:50
Speaker 3: So the Broncos are the only team in the AFC
36:53
Speaker 3: in the top five outside of Buffalo, who is at five. Uh,
36:57
Speaker 3: then it's Baltimore at six, Scinnati's at eight.
37:02
Speaker 5: Here's what's funny.
37:03
Speaker 3: I think we're still doing this math here of well,
37:07
Speaker 3: just for the most part, we'll find the best quarterbacks
37:10
Speaker 3: and then we'll put them all in the top ten
37:11
Speaker 3: and then we'll kind of go from there and separate
37:12
Speaker 3: it out.
37:14
Speaker 5: Nix is probably the exception to that rule.
37:17
Speaker 4: Now.
37:17
Speaker 3: In their little blurb that they wrote underneath the Broncos,
37:21
Speaker 3: it was they return most of their starters. And I
37:24
Speaker 3: do think that the retention rate of that team is
37:27
Speaker 3: a big factor. And why you think they're gonna be good.
37:31
Speaker 3: You just got to repeat your success with the same dudes. Okay, Okay,
37:33
Speaker 3: Well that's easy to do in your head. Yeah, because
37:36
Speaker 3: the success came in very odd ways.
37:40
Speaker 4: Two games were gifted to them, maybe even three or
37:44
Speaker 4: four if you really want to get down to the
37:45
Speaker 4: linglong here. But they won all these one score games,
37:48
Speaker 4: and you know, the comebacks were great. But is that
37:52
Speaker 4: now routine that you're just gonna come back every time
37:54
Speaker 4: you're down. You're gonna win eleven straight. The schedule's more
37:57
Speaker 4: difficult to me. Again, I don't think the Broncos any
38:00
Speaker 4: worse of football team. I just think they're going to
38:02
Speaker 4: run into more obstacles along the way that's going to
38:05
Speaker 4: prevent them from getting to fourteen wins. And again, if
38:08
Speaker 4: you look at your little odds thing, the over underfer
38:12
Speaker 4: the win total is nine and a half for the
38:14
Speaker 4: Denver bronc. Yes, so that's what the betting public thinks
38:18
Speaker 4: and NFL Network thinks to the second best team in
38:20
Speaker 4: the league. So those two things are not meshing.
38:24
Speaker 3: I mention all of this because it's funny because ESPN
38:27
Speaker 3: has this on right now. The number four team they
38:30
Speaker 3: have in these power rankings is the Eagles. And have
38:34
Speaker 3: you just seen what is like a story right now?
38:38
Speaker 3: Because it is the preseason. The Eagles released a video
38:41
Speaker 3: from their training camp yesterday. They were doing eleven on
38:45
Speaker 3: eleven and the tweet said right on Q and it
38:50
Speaker 3: was their cornerback Quinnon Mitchell picking a pass off of
38:54
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts And people are saying that this was mean
38:58
Speaker 3: to do to Jalen Hurts. Me what that they showed
39:03
Speaker 3: a video of an interception when people are already kind
39:05
Speaker 3: of criticizing Jalen Hurts last year saying he can't throw
39:08
Speaker 3: the ball over the middle. Then they throw they show
39:10
Speaker 3: a highlight of him throwing the ball over the middle
39:11
Speaker 3: and getting picked off.
39:14
Speaker 5: And I could not believe how sensitive people are. Mosher,
39:18
Speaker 5: What does this say?
39:18
Speaker 4: Right here? What is the Gwennyan Mitchell's interception of Jalen
39:22
Speaker 4: Hurts gets over fifteen million views.
39:24
Speaker 3: That's what they're discussing on ESPN right now. Imagine, imagine
39:32
Speaker 3: the conversation surrounding your quarterback is so yes soft that
39:36
Speaker 3: they can't put up a highlight of a defensive player
39:39
Speaker 3: making a play.
39:41
Speaker 4: I was gonna when I saw the video, when I
39:43
Speaker 4: saw people complaining about it, vic, I was going to
39:47
Speaker 4: chime in because clearly the dB jumped the route, right, Yeah,
39:55
Speaker 4: do you know why the dB jumped the route? Why
39:56
Speaker 4: you made that interception? Because he knows what it's telling
40:00
Speaker 4: me because he knows where the paul is going to
40:02
Speaker 4: be thrown, because he's defended that play eight hundred thousand
40:06
Speaker 4: times in practice. And it doesn't mean Jack Also, Quinion
40:10
Speaker 4: Mitchell is really good. He's also really good, but he
40:12
Speaker 4: jumped the route. I mean, he knows what this is it.
40:16
Speaker 5: Just now, if they did this.
40:18
Speaker 4: Why are people making mountains out of molehills?
40:20
Speaker 3: You guys, we all know this video, right, Remember the
40:23
Speaker 3: video that Ryan Green had of t Bow the pass
40:28
Speaker 3: that that wobbly end over and duck that he threw
40:32
Speaker 3: that just kind of bounced to nobody. And I think
40:35
Speaker 3: in the background somebody goes, what was that?
40:38
Speaker 5: Like you can hear it?
40:39
Speaker 2: That was when that was when I was that was
40:41
Speaker 2: a Channel four Dave Willie shot that.
40:43
Speaker 5: He's the Dave will Channel four. I would see Ryan
40:45
Speaker 5: Green posting it, so I just forget who.
40:48
Speaker 2: I think he was the one saying that.
40:51
Speaker 3: If the Broncos put out that video, then that's mean
40:55
Speaker 3: to do to your quarterback.
40:56
Speaker 5: That's not something you've put out. That was a corner
41:00
Speaker 5: making a play in a practice.
41:02
Speaker 4: What are we getting so sensitive about?
41:04
Speaker 5: And I think, again, there is I.
41:09
Speaker 3: Always said this for like three years, and the Eagles
41:12
Speaker 3: have always been good. Is there not a powder keg
41:15
Speaker 3: in that place? That just feels like one spark is
41:17
Speaker 3: gonna light off that entire thing. You have a super
41:20
Speaker 3: Bowl winning quarterback and a super Bowl winning coach and
41:23
Speaker 3: it feels like the fan base at least half of.
41:27
Speaker 5: Them hates both of them.
41:29
Speaker 4: That's weird, weird, very weird. It's bizarre.
41:33
Speaker 5: They had a wide receiver last year that complained so much.
41:36
Speaker 6: They're like, all right, fine, leave dude. Philadelphia sports as
41:41
Speaker 6: much success.
41:41
Speaker 2: As they've had.
41:43
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see the dynamic when Lebron is
41:45
Speaker 6: there and that team's assembled. How the fans respawn in
41:48
Speaker 6: certain moments, like how because they don't mess around. Here's
41:51
Speaker 6: the past and this is the infamous wobbler.
41:58
Speaker 4: Yep, that's Dave.
42:00
Speaker 5: That's Dave, my boy, Dave Willie.
42:02
Speaker 4: That's back in the day where.
42:04
Speaker 5: Fellas we uh oh my god, I'm you know.
42:09
Speaker 6: In fact, I don't forget those practices because we got
42:13
Speaker 6: to watch practices a little more intently than we do today,
42:17
Speaker 6: Like you wouldn't be able to get that kind of
42:19
Speaker 6: stuff today.
42:20
Speaker 3: Okay, can I ask you just a quick question before break?
42:23
Speaker 3: If I had to, like gun to your head, who
42:26
Speaker 3: wins the championship this year? The Sixers of the Eagles?
42:29
Speaker 3: Who's got a better shot?
42:31
Speaker 4: Sixers?
42:35
Speaker 2: Most just playing attention?
42:36
Speaker 4: I think, I think, I'm thinking, I think, I guess
42:39
Speaker 4: think the question is, Yeah, it's probably gotta be the
42:43
Speaker 4: Sixers because getting through the Rams is going to be
42:46
Speaker 4: virtually impossible. Seahawks, Yeah, both of them.
42:52
Speaker 5: Isn't that weird to say?
42:53
Speaker 4: Though?
42:53
Speaker 5: Like Philly's been in that why is it weird to
42:55
Speaker 5: say they just stacked their team?
42:57
Speaker 6: Well, I know, stack their team like a Sunday Morning
42:59
Speaker 6: Wreck Center team, But the Eagles have been the multiple
43:02
Speaker 6: Super Bowls and still win like twelve games a year.
43:05
Speaker 3: I mean that's that feels like a guaranteed playoff team.
43:08
Speaker 3: I mean, sort of the Sixers, but still.
43:11
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this to me real quick.
43:14
Speaker 4: The Philadelphia fan is a microcosm of today's society. People
43:20
Speaker 4: love to be miserable. In fact, I think people like
43:26
Speaker 4: when I saw the thing for the Burnham Yard yesterday
43:28
Speaker 4: from the Denver Broncos and looked at the comments. I'll
43:30
Speaker 4: get to that as the show goes on, but I'm like, why,
43:34
Speaker 4: why is everybody just so mad about stuff all the time.
43:38
Speaker 4: I think that's what Philadelphia fans are. I just think
43:40
Speaker 4: they love to be mad. I saw some of those.
43:43
Speaker 6: Comments you posted, and I laughed, and I expected that
43:46
Speaker 6: because it's hard to make change. Change is hard for anyone,
43:54
Speaker 6: and someone's always going to be angry about change, whether it's.
43:57
Speaker 2: Good or bad.
43:58
Speaker 4: Hey, I got a dirty septic tank that and somebody's
44:02
Speaker 4: gonna buy it from me and they're going to clean
44:04
Speaker 4: it up and make it. I mean, what are we doing? Sorry, Brett, No, no,
44:08
Speaker 4: you can get to.
44:09
Speaker 5: You're talking about the renderings that they had of the.
44:11
Speaker 2: The community meeting.
44:13
Speaker 6: Community meeting, they went through play by play, piece by
44:16
Speaker 6: piece of what the neighborhood is going to look like,
44:18
Speaker 6: how the current homes and the neighborhoods will not be
44:21
Speaker 6: impacted or affected, nobody'll be.
44:24
Speaker 4: The amount of negativity, whining, bitching, moaning, complaining. I was
44:31
Speaker 4: floored by it. Vic. I hope that my I hope
44:34
Speaker 4: that my tweet made sense. Well, uh, we'll get to
44:37
Speaker 4: that in just I mean, I know, I hope if
44:40
Speaker 4: you're home, I hope that it lands with somebody.
44:42
Speaker 6: Most listen, I'm not gonna cast Dix versions on anybody,
44:46
Speaker 6: because if your home butted up next to a brand
44:50
Speaker 6: new stadium district, you would have questions and concerns, as.
44:53
Speaker 4: I absolutely would. But I tell you, I tell you what.
44:55
Speaker 4: I take that over the septic tank, crap hole, that's
44:58
Speaker 4: burner yards right now.
45:00
Speaker 5: We'll get there.
45:01
Speaker 4: Just rather live next to a crap hole or a
45:03
Speaker 4: beautiful stadium and figure out a way to make some
45:06
Speaker 4: revenue on game day.
45:07
Speaker 3: We'll get there in just a couple of minutes. Jeff
45:09
Speaker 3: Lakewell joins us in an hour, no stick around,
