- 0:40[SPEAKER_02]: Well, good sports fans in the Central Indiana Sports Report for Greg versus Will versus the World's Phil in the Greg versus Will stage.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_02]: We will include the world starting in August about five weeks will we're going to start doing this thing for real, have a format we're going to, it's going to be really cool but so much we wanted to talk about over the last few weeks that it felt like we needed to have
- 1:10[SPEAKER_02]: Are you been?
- 1:12[SPEAKER_01]: Craig, I've been good.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a very busy summer.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I've been everywhere, nowhere at the same time, but I'm looking forward to getting started in August.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking forward to today.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_01]: I think that there are a lot of important topics to be discussed.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're going to talk about the World Cup in particular Team USA.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk some major league baseball, some NBA, and some NFL already.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_02]: So we got a lot to talk about.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get right to it.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_02]: I'm barely even going to mention the score here.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_02]: The score is will 13.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_02]: Four.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_02]: So it's time to make up some of that will with topic number one, I'll let you lead this off.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_02]: Will Team USA advanced to the elite by beating Belgium on Monday.
- 2:04[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Greg, if flow balligan was playing, I would have probably said it was an automatic because I think that he has been just electric at the forward position without him though with the red card that he got against Bosnia, I think it becomes more of a toss-up.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_01]: The odds still kind of lean in the United States' favor.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Belgium played particularly well in their round of 32 matchup against Senegal.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_01]: With that being said, Senegal was up until the 80 fifth minute.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_01]: They were up too nil.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_01]: So I think there is a conversation of Belgium.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_01]: They clutched up.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_01]: They got the job done when they needed to, but I would be remiss to say that they played particularly well in that game.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_01]: I watched that game was on the floor.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_01]: Team USA and Bosnia.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the United States looked really good to be completely honest with you.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_01]: I really feel that Matt Frees is kind of coming into form.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: I was really worried.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_01]: about the gold and their situation for came to say coming into it, but another claim she had against Bosnia, I think Tim Reing for being as old as he is as playing really well.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_01]: And the defense Chris Richards, who is a crystal palis guy, does play overseas.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's been kind of the own song, hero of team USAF to this point.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's been maybe their best player outside of flow ball again.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I've gone in a roundabout way, but
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think the USA wins.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to get the boost at home in their home country.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think Belgium is getable.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_01]: Why not, even a flow balligan doesn't play.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: I think Policic, who has been Captain America for this team for the better part of the last five years shows up against Belgium, he's kind of been quiet because flow balligan has been so good.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_01]: I think Western McKinney potentially gets some of the scores.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_01]: I like this team USA line up.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're super athletic.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to give Belgium some issues.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: I think they go after the ball like a bunch of rabbit dogs.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_01]: They are just all over the ball.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: The possession there, when they had 11 on the field before Balagans Red Card was observed, they had the possession 65, 70% of the time.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_01]: That obviously changed a little bit as they kind of hunkered in and let Bosnia get a little further into the offensive zone and they had been, I like this team USA, I think they're good.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_01]: I think we get to the round the beat.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_02]: coming into this world cup.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_02]: I was incredibly pessimistic.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_02]: Five years ago, I was incredibly optimistic about this team.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_02]: I was looking at that world cup out there five years out and thinking, man, this is by far the most talented team.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_02]: The USA has ever had.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to come together, right there at that world cup.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_02]: And then for five years, they just did nothing but let me down.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_02]: including leading up to the World Cup, and I thought this could possibly be a disaster.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_02]: I spent all of Wednesday night just expecting the United States to lose that game to figure out a way to blow it, especially when they went to man down.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact that they continued to own possession for most of the game, a man down,
- 5:23[SPEAKER_02]: The fact will that they have owned possession in every game they've played so far.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_02]: They've been easily the better team in every game they've played so far.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_02]: We've never experienced this in this country.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_02]: By far the most talented team we've ever had.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they're going to win now.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_02]: I think the question is now, can they be Spain or Portugal to get to a place they've never been before?
- 5:52[SPEAKER_02]: even maybe yes.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't think they're all they agree.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they're on the same level as France and Argentina, but I think there's good as anybody else right now.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_02]: And I think their chances are as good as anybody else right now.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think they are at best the third best team and it works the fifth.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could make an argument that
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could make the argument.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_01]: I think Portugal and Spain's probably a toss-up.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_01]: Whether I just think they've played really good, I think they did benefit from a pretty bad group, but the Turkey was not supposed to be bad.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_01]: They were supposed to be the favorite winning that group.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_02]: They're still playing.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Paraguay has been great.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, Greg, I think that they're only weakness.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_01]: I think when it comes down to everybody else as I think their goal toening is so poor, compared to the other five.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_01]: And that's just because free space in the MLS.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't think that it's on the same league as any European league one.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see, the hell, maybe they'll just win it all.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_01]: They're not that bad.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_01]: They're not so bad against the others that they couldn't win it.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't think so.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_01]: I think if they played their four best games, the rest of the way out, they could win the World Cup.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_02]: Tell it wise they're on par.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: They're at least closer to on par than they've ever been before.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're the most athletic team left.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_01]: I think they are a team full of athletes, whether they're a team full of great soccer players.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_01]: That's, I guess you could put that up for discussion.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they obviously don't have them in Bob Bay and they obviously don't have a, you know, all, they don't have a messy, but they've got enough talent.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_01]: I think the other tin to make up for that.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they need it.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: Flow ball gets played as good as anybody has.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's been a rising star.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe they didn't take away that red card.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_02]: Between the game, I thought for sure they would say, it was weak.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_02]: They got that wrong.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_02]: Let him play the next game.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_02]: I thought for sure they would, but oh well, you're still going to be belted.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_02]: Well, question number two is going to be who is going to win the world cup, but we agreed and the answer is France.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_02]: And that's too bad.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_02]: Please, for instance.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_02]: Question number two will and I'm going to start on this when who is going to win the NL East.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_02]: We've just been under the assumption for the last two months that it's going to be the Atlanta Braves and they've lost five games on Don Maddingley's Philadelphia Philly's over the last 10 games.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_02]: The Marlins are coming.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_02]: The Nationals are coming.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Braves are in trouble will.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the Philadelphia Philly's are going to win that division as I predicted before the season.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_02]: their top end of their pitching has been better than the brains top end of their pitching and the lineup is uh it's been getting healthier and coming along and I think the fillings are winning this will.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's necessarily wrong that you say that the fillings are probably going to win the division because I do think that they are on paper probably better
- 9:25[SPEAKER_01]: I think the brave's rotation is better than people give a credit for.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think Martin Perez has been great, Chris Sale, and his age 38 season has been awesome.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_01]: Ronaldo Lopez, I think is kind of a little bit in the culture.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, right now they're with Aliconia, who I do think makes a difference.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_01]: He's not been the same guy that he,
- 9:48[SPEAKER_01]: typically isn't his career this season, but he spent two stints on the I.L.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_01]: of hamstring injuries.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: He's still batting to 50 got 15 steals.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_01]: Great lead off, bitter.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_01]: I think when he comes back, you'll see this brave's roster churn out a little bit more.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still waiting when he's Austin Riley going to figure it out because we're still not even at 10 home runs.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: We're halfway through the season.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: This is a guy that did 40 home runs just a few years ago.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what's been going on with him, not sure if it's injury or whatever.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_01]: When you talk about this brave line-up, though, when you've still got Aussie albums, you still have Drake Baldwin.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_01]: We've not even mentioned Matt Olsen.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_01]: They've got talent all the way around.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Harris, the second is a phenomenal center field, or he's having an all-star caliber season.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: I think when a Cunie gets back, he stays healthy the rest of the year.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: I think the brave still comfortably win this division by five games, just from this standpoint of they had a better start.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_01]: The Philly still have a negative run differential and they've been a lot now that's because they were starting at minus 50 when they made this come back don't get me wrong.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing great, but I just feel like the braves lineup has enough guys performing well enough that the Philly's don't have a chance to make the ground up.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_01]: Even if even if it's only two games right now, I just feel like the braves are just as well matches the Philly's and I feel like the Philly's have an injury waiting and I don't know who harpers.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: kind of always a potential I.L.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_01]: risk.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of see that happening somewhere.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_02]: Marlin's national.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_02]: See either one of them making a run.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they're both good enough teams.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think they're good enough.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_02]: Well, question number three.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_02]: The NBA draft was a couple of weeks ago.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_02]: And uh,
- 11:38[SPEAKER_02]: There are four really good potential rookie of the year candidates, so my question number three to you is, well who's going to be rookie of the year?
- 11:49[SPEAKER_01]: Well Greg, I said my rookie of the year is probably going to be AJ Devonsta, because I think he is the most NBA ready of the four.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_01]: Not that Darren Peterson's not great, I think they're both guys, they're going to have close to 20 in game.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think the band says going to a better situation in terms of Washington.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: I think trade young is enough for him.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think Darren Peterson's going to have to go to Utah on me the guy.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just not sure that.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_01]: even at a rookie I'm not sure that he's ready to be the guy he's going to get an opportunity to take a lot of shots so we're going to see quickly how efficient can you be I think he's a tremendous three level school where I just think the band says that even better athlete and I think that there's this push from the NBA.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_01]: I think the number one picks get the benefit of the doubt a lot because in my opinion, Knippel showed a absolutely one rookie of the year this year.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_01]: I still have it to Cooper Flag, which it was close, but I think if it's close, it's going to go to the number one pick because they want to sell that that's the guy, I'm still curious to see what issues resolved between Utah and Darren Peters and I feel like there's still some latent kind of feelings there, you know, in terms of him not wanting to work out, maybe him not wanting to go there.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think Cam Booser is going to have a really good season.
- 13:11[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think that he's going to have a good enough season to warrant review the year.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think he's a guy, he was, he was my number one.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: If the Pacers got the number one pick, I want to take Cam Booser because I thought he was going to be the player that helped them win the most in this win now.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_01]: Right now, yeah.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because I think it's floor so high and I think the band says this too.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not, you know, I do think he is absolutely the best player in this draft and the key is the best potential of any player in this draft, which is why you take the number one pick with him.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to see what you said, because I feel convicted that the wizards are going to be pretty good, probably at top six seed, especially if Anthony Davis is still there.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that level of publicity, but the turnaround gives the bands of the leg up on everybody else.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_02]: I think if the question is who's going to have the better career?
- 14:09[SPEAKER_02]: I think you probably go with Debanta, you probably go with Peterson.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_02]: But I think Rookie of the Year is going to be Cameron Booser.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_02]: Everything is set up for him to have a great rookie season.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_02]: As you said, he's probably the most NBA ready guy.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_02]: He'd look like an NBA player last year as an 18 year old, honestly.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_02]: Will he is a thinker of the game, unlike
- 14:34[SPEAKER_02]: like few players we've seen in the NBA he is a step ahead of everybody and I think he's going to be a step ahead of the other rookies.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_02]: And I think it's a really good situation for him.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a team that's not going to have any expectations, but I think they're going to win a little.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's teams going to be better than people think a pretty nice young talented
- 15:02[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to see a, that's going to be a very impressive rookie season by Cameron Bozer.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_02]: Give me Cameron Bozer as you're working at the year.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think everything you said to foul, I couldn't imagine this Chris is team of Desmond Vayne and John Morant were so going to be on it.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_01]: This would be potential favorite in the West.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's how good I think this roster is.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_01]: You've got me kind of thinking maybe my takes wrong.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_01]: I still I really do agree with the career arc conversation.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_01]: I think the defense is probably going to be the guy a long term.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_02]: I just if I talk you into.
- 15:39[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to talk me into.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still I'm still feel convicted, but I think you make great arguments all the way around that.
- 15:46[SPEAKER_01]: He's a very polished player right right now.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he's a guy.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: He might give you a 15 and 10 as a rookie easy 15 10 and 5.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: that legacy of his father being a tremendous NBA player.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_01]: Well, tremendous is probably a stretch.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_01]: A good NBA player definitely helps.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: He's been around the locker.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_01]: We know how the game and how the league works.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: I think that that's very helpful.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_02]: I see his dad was a very good NBA player.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_02]: He's a guy who as an I always use an example of a guy who
- 16:28[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'll add something to the game every year, so just such a pro, nobody liked him, but he was just such a great basketball.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_01]: He seems like a mistest player for me over of a legacy in terms of NBA like, you know, is this player better than Carlos Bouser or is are they worse?
- 16:52[SPEAKER_01]: It's like he's kind of one of those like where he like he's the bridge between like good and very good like star and role player.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was kind of the David West.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a David West perfect.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_01]: And that's a four a power four that would not be able to function in today's game, but was very good for the era, the hell.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
- 17:25[SPEAKER_02]: And question number four, will you and I were joined on the culture report by your dad this past week and
- 17:32[SPEAKER_02]: Went through the cold schedule game by game, and toward the end, the question came up of who was going to be the best team in the F.C.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_02]: West.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_02]: So question number four, will is who's going to win the F.C.
- 17:45[SPEAKER_02]: West, and I'm going to lead off, because I told you already on the culture port that is going to be the Los Angeles Chargers.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_02]: You have spent the last two years completely dishonoring the name of Jim Harba, who will be your coach of the year,
- 18:03[SPEAKER_02]: the Los Angeles Chargers, one of the top three or four best teams in the AFC, a true Super Bowl contender.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they're better than the chiefs.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're better than the Broncos.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_02]: I think the chiefs are going to have a bounce back season.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to make the playoffs.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Broncos are going to take a step back.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_02]: and the raiders are going to be just absolutely awful.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_02]: Well, so that's my assessment of the AFC West.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_02]: Still what seems like half a year before the season begins.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Greg, I'm going to stay with my guy.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_01]: I've been convicted on for the last two years.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: I believe he is a great football player.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_01]: That's bone X. I think that he is just a winner.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_01]: They win.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_01]: They won.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_01]: That's what they do.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: He's made more playoff appearances in his first two years than Justin Herbert did.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the coaching is negligible between Harball and Sean Peyton.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_01]: I think the addition of jail and water to this offense makes the material above the chargers I think now you're charging out a toy Franklin who really started to come on as a impact player
- 19:15[SPEAKER_01]: I think that you have Portland Sutton who is a good what on down, doesn't he?
- 19:20[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_01]: I think Sutton is your two is ridiculous because he is an 80, 20 ball guy if it's tossed up.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to go get it.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_01]: I've really like Jalen Wano a lot.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_01]: I think Bonyx likes to push the ball vertically.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's Jalen Wano strengthy so fast.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he's also a lot more polished of a route runner than people like to give Jalen Waldo credit for.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: I think he got overshadowed a lot by Tyrekeel early in his dolphin's career and he was equally as good if not better at times than Tyrekeel was.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the Broncos offensive line is stayed relatively
- 19:59[SPEAKER_01]: healthy over the course of the last two years I expect that to continue.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think the RJ Harvey is good enough.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_01]: I do think the chargers probably win the backfield battle if I'm giving you the honest truth.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_01]: But I think RJ Harvey for what though nix is a quarterback helps he's a really good receiver out of the backfield.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's available for check downs a lot.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: One area that I do think the chargers are going to be a lot better as tied in, which I do think is an impact position.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_01]: I think around Ray Gazzden, and also the addition of David and Joku from Cleveland to do make a big difference.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_01]: But I've seen more of the bow than I have just and I know that I'm going to get a lot of flag for that because I do think Herbert is probably a better quarterback on paper.
- 20:40[SPEAKER_01]: but the game's not played on paper, it's play on the field.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: And Bo Nix is a reason that the Broncos were 13 and four last year and honestly his injury game against Buffalo.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if he's healthy and that game against New England, maybe we're talking about the Broncos being the Super Bowl.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we're talking about the Broncos, the Super Bowl.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_01]: We are.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_01]: We are for sure.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think it's easy to discredit what they did last year.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_01]: And I get they played a three schedule, but they still were 10 and 7 made the playoffs the year before they faced the team in Buffalo, they got absolutely obliterated by two years ago in the playoffs, beat them at home, which helped to get some calls down the way that helped them out.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_01]: But I just, I like this Broncos team.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_01]: I think Bo Nix is a guy.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that him being back healthy, I'm not worried at all.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_02]: with the addition of jail and water.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_02]: There's a chance the Broncos are an elite team.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_02]: I don't I still don't think they are.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're, but there's a chance that they're an elite team right there with Buffalo Baltimore, anybody in the AFC anybody in a frail.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_01]: The one thing I will say to your argument,
- 21:52[SPEAKER_01]: is the inverse schedule is going to be difficult.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to play a one schedule.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the best thing to do.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly what I'm going to say.
- 21:59[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're going to find out if the Broncos or legit are not.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it changes the calendar.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_02]: You ask, here's one thing about the chargers will is that just an Herbert, the last couple of years, has not been able to stay upright as offensive lines been horrible.
- 22:16[SPEAKER_02]: And if it's healthy this year, it's going to be a very, very good offensive line.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_02]: And that changes everything.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_02]: And I think he has shown me that he has the elite skills at quarterback to lead a team.
- 22:31[SPEAKER_02]: And I just feel like he'd give Jim Harball this much time.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to win.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_02]: And I won't be surprised if they're the champions at the end of the year.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Greg, we're going to get the opportunity.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a point that's probably going to come down to be 18 when these two teams play each other.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_02]: So are we completely discounting Patrick Mahomes and Anne B. Reed or, they're going to be pretty good?
- 22:59[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be good.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think their roster is as good as either one of the other two.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_01]: And for whatever reason, I just don't think the home's has been as good.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know when he's going to come back from the knee injury.
- 23:11[SPEAKER_01]: I have he's going to look.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'm my doctor.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_02]: Oronday Gatston, speaking of Carlos Booser being your standard.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_02]: Oronday Gatston to this day is the standard for an undrafted weather see where his father is such a great player.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure you probably don't even remember.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember him.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_02]: Susie remembers him.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_02]: One of Dan Marina's favorite targets late in his career.
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: Well, at Dan Reno's the one throw on the pill, too, and I got to give him respect.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_02]: Undrafted free agent, a career that I admired as someone who is not adults in prison.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fairly confident that Dan Reno had played an entire career and started his broadcasting career before I was born.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't remember anything of that.
- 24:07[SPEAKER_02]: It's too bad.
- 24:08[SPEAKER_01]: But I...
- 24:09[SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen anybody throw the ball like he did, man.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, well, I hope you have a great 4th of July, happy birthday America, we love you.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great country ever.
