- 0:05Speaker 1: every weekday morning from 7 to 10 on Altitude Sports
- 0:08Speaker 1: Radio 92.5 and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Did you have any players come to you asking if
- 0:20Speaker 2: I'd go back to college?
- 0:22Speaker 1: I have not.
- 0:23Speaker 2: I have not. What did you think about that when
- 0:25Speaker 2: you heard that?
- 0:25Speaker 1: Well, I asked.
- 0:27Speaker 2: You still play college.
- 0:28Speaker 3: But I can't move well enough. I'm not really up
- 0:31Speaker 3: to speed on, like, I feel like I'm in the
- 0:34Speaker 3: dark with it all, and I don't have time to, like,
- 0:36Speaker 3: read up on it, but.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Certainly it's unusual, right?
- 0:42Speaker 2: Sean Payton yesterday talking about this memo that was sent
- 0:46Speaker 2: around the NFL regarding players like.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Daquan Wright, Zavian Harris.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Guys who were in NFL training camps that were cut
- 0:57Speaker 2: and then wanted to go back to college for another year,
- 0:59Speaker 2: mostly to go play for Lane Kiffin at LSU. Here's
- 1:03Speaker 2: what the memo said. They held a special meeting Wednesday
- 1:09Speaker 2: that reminded teams any players signed to an NFL contract
- 1:12Speaker 2: who was subsequently cut is a free agent. That player
- 1:16Speaker 2: can sign with another NFL club, join the CFL, or
- 1:20Speaker 2: return to college. Any player cut by the NFL team
- 1:23Speaker 2: who returns to college will still be considered a free
- 1:27Speaker 2: agent and therefore not subject to a future draft. So
- 1:31Speaker 2: here's what the NFL said. Not my monkey, not my circus. NCAA,
- 1:36Speaker 2: this is on you. We don't care.
- 1:38Speaker 4: The guy's cut.
- 1:39Speaker 5: He'll be a free agent forever.
- 1:40Speaker 2: If he goes back to college, has a amazing season
- 1:43Speaker 2: where he's got like a first round draft pick. Well,
- 1:45Speaker 2: he's not going to the draft. So whatever.
- 1:48Speaker 4: You said something about that, Vicky.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You said something about that.
- 1:52Speaker 6: I don't know, two days ago, three days ago, and
- 1:54Speaker 6: we were talking about Daquan and the judges ruling and
- 1:56Speaker 6: all this kind of thing, and I said, you know,
- 2:00Speaker 6: the NFL, I said, they won't do anything. They're like,
- 2:02Speaker 6: we just don't want a part of it. We don't
- 2:04Speaker 6: give a rat's rip.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Get out of our face. This guy's a free agent.
- 2:08Speaker 2: We're done.
- 2:09Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, they're hands-off with this, but they were
- 2:11Speaker 7: certainly hands-on.
- 2:14Speaker 2: With Brendan Sorsby. Completely different take on that one.
- 2:17Speaker 6: Well, that's because he's trying to get back into the league.
- 2:20Speaker 6: This guy's trying to get back. Out of the league
- 2:22Speaker 6: and back to college.
- 2:22Speaker 8: I understand.
- 2:23Speaker 7: But at some point, the NFL is going to have
- 2:27Speaker 7: to acknowledge that they're a partner in this game.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:30Speaker 2: At some point. They're a partner in this development league
- 2:34Speaker 2: that is college football. Here's, I think, the main problem
- 2:38Speaker 2: with this.
- 2:39Speaker 6: And.
- 2:39Speaker 4: You.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Know, we talked about how college football... People can only
- 2:44Speaker 2: handle so much change at once. And you've had to
- 2:46Speaker 2: deal with a lot of change in college football. But
- 2:48Speaker 2: I've maintained... That the actual, the teams that are at
- 2:55Speaker 2: the top, the teams that are at the bottom, hasn't
- 2:59Speaker 2: changed all that much. What these new rules have allowed,
- 3:02Speaker 2: they've allowed Indiana, through an influx of money, to be
- 3:05Speaker 2: part of this bigger conversation in college football. It's allowed
- 3:08Speaker 2: Texas Tech to be part of this bigger conversation. But
- 3:11Speaker 2: when you look at the teams in the top 25,
- 3:14Speaker 2: it's the same old suspects for the most part. The
- 3:18Speaker 2: big difference that I see in college football right now
- 3:21Speaker 2: is that they are fractured in a way that that
- 3:24Speaker 2: league really hasn't been in my lifetime in this sense.
- 3:27Speaker 5: They all kind of pulled in.
- 3:28Speaker 2: The same direction. You know, there were teams that skirted
- 3:32Speaker 2: rules and teams that got favorable treatments as opposed to others, obviously.
- 3:36Speaker 2: But when they kind of decided as a group, meaning
- 3:41Speaker 2: the NCAA, which I'll remind you, Do you know how
- 3:44Speaker 2: much money they make a year in revenue as a whole,
- 3:46Speaker 2: the NCAA? It's $ 20 billion. It's a gigantic corporation. It's
- 3:53Speaker 2: the fact that they aren't on the same page anymore.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And I think it kind of started when the SEC goes, well,
- 3:59Speaker 2: what if we just broke off and did our own thing?
- 4:01Speaker 5: What do you think about that?
- 4:02Speaker 2: When you start to threaten that we aren't together anymore,
- 4:07Speaker 2: we're separate things, well, No wonder the SEC comes out
- 4:12Speaker 2: with no NFL players are allowed in college again. And
- 4:15Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin goes, oh yeah? What if I find a
- 4:18Speaker 2: judge that says differently? You aren't together anymore. You're totally
- 4:21Speaker 2: fractured and everybody's looking out for themselves. It's different than
- 4:24Speaker 2: what college has been pretty much in my whole life.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, man?
- 4:30Speaker 6: The SEC and Big Ten, I think they realize they
- 4:33Speaker 6: need each other.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Well, they certainly do.
- 4:37Speaker 6: Yeah, but outside of them, they've sort of been on
- 4:40Speaker 6: their own away from the ACC and the Big 12
- 4:42Speaker 6: and the rest of college sports for quite a while now.
- 4:46Speaker 6: The SEC and the Big 10 live on their own island.
- 4:49Speaker 6: So you talk, we're not all together. Well, they're not
- 4:51Speaker 6: all together. They look out for themselves, number one, and
- 4:57Speaker 6: then the rest sort of falls in line behind them.
- 5:00Speaker 2: The power is starting to transfer over, though. Follow me
- 5:05Speaker 2: on this one.
- 5:06Speaker 7: For years, college football coaches in colleges, when it came
- 5:10Speaker 7: to recruiting football players, the goal was, we're going to
- 5:14Speaker 7: get you to the National Football League. We're going to
- 5:16Speaker 7: make you professionals. We're going to make you a ton
- 5:18Speaker 7: of money. Well, now the colleges can pay money freely.
- 5:22Speaker 7: So they have entered the power vacuum and taken some
- 5:26Speaker 7: of that back.
- 5:27Speaker 2: It's true.
- 5:27Speaker 7: Why do we have to rely on the NFL to
- 5:30Speaker 7: send you somewhere when we can give you the money ourselves?
- 5:33Speaker 2: Now, they can't pay them until they're 35 years old, but. No,
- 5:37Speaker 2: but they can pay them for four to five years. Well, here's,
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'm just trying to look ahead and see what could
- 5:43Speaker 2: potentially be a problem for the NFL. And here's what,
- 5:46Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. So money's different now from
- 5:49Speaker 2: 15 years ago, understood in both leagues. But I think
- 5:56Speaker 2: the issue that they could run into is something like this.
- 6:01Speaker 2: As an undrafted free agent, NFL signs you to a contract.
- 6:07Speaker 2: You're making pennies on the dollar compared to what a
- 6:10Speaker 2: first-round pick's going to make, right? Especially in guaranteed money.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You get no guaranteed money. If you have a Chris
- 6:16Speaker 2: Harris Jr. that steps into your training camp and plays really,
- 6:19Speaker 2: really well, you know how much Chris Harris Jr. got
- 6:23Speaker 2: paid his rookie season in the NFL? $ 375, 000. Well, he
- 6:29Speaker 2: was an undrafted player. Well, this is my point. In
- 6:31Speaker 2: year two, because he's on the undrafted contract, it's $ 465, 000.
- 6:36Speaker 2: In year three, he got paid $ 555, 000. What if, I'm just,
- 6:43Speaker 2: I'm trying to think down the road, Lane Kiffin goes, well,
- 6:48Speaker 2: you can play for $ 375, 000 for the Broncos, or I'll
- 6:52Speaker 2: give you $ 4 million to play this year for LSU. Right.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Try and buy out your contract. Is that allowed? Or
- 6:58Speaker 2: do you hit.
- 6:59Speaker 5: A Jonas Valanciunas-Panathinaikos situation?
- 7:02Speaker 2: I don't know. But did he use up his college eligibility?
- 7:04Speaker 2: Let's say he's got a year left. He's got a
- 7:06Speaker 2: year left. That's a different story. I mean, could you.
- 7:08Speaker 5: Go to the NFL team and be like, I'll buy
- 7:11Speaker 5: out his contract?
- 7:12Speaker 4: Question for Vic.
- 7:14Speaker 6: I want Vic Lombardi's undivided attention and logical response to
- 7:20Speaker 6: this question.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Vic, if the SEC and Big Ten.
- 7:27Speaker 6: Had their way, how much college eligibility would Would they
- 7:34Speaker 6: allow to their players?
- 7:35Speaker 2: Unlimited.
- 7:37Speaker 4: You're frigging right.
- 7:39Speaker 8: Unlimited.
- 7:39Speaker 6: You're damn right. Listen, Brett, here's what I'm getting at.
- 7:42Speaker 6: We're going to see a day when you have players.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Representing the college, but not necessarily going to college.
- 7:51Speaker 4: That is correct.
- 7:53Speaker 6: I would argue to you, they're going, okay, well, you know,
- 7:56Speaker 6: we're going to, Four or five years, whatever it may be.
- 8:01Speaker 6: They're going to fight for 10 years because there are
- 8:03Speaker 6: plenty of very, very good college football players who will
- 8:08Speaker 6: not make it in the NFL. They just won't because
- 8:10Speaker 6: of the numbers and because of everything else, right? They're tweeners.
- 8:14Speaker 6: But in college, listen, the SEC and the Big Ten,
- 8:19Speaker 6: the worst NFL team would beat the snot out of
- 8:22Speaker 6: the champions of either of those conferences.
- 8:24Speaker 4: That's the way it is because they're pros versus college players.
- 8:27Speaker 6: But these guys could play in college until they're 35.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I'm not kidding you.
- 8:32Speaker 6: So when do we see the day, Vic, when the
- 8:36Speaker 6: SEC and the Big 12, or Big 10, excuse me,
- 8:38Speaker 6: finally go, all right, screw it. 10 years of eligibility. Oh,
- 8:42Speaker 6: we'll draw the line at 10 years. So 18 to 28.
- 8:46Speaker 6: I'm telling you, that day is going to come.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Well, it depends on how you define. All right, let
- 8:51Speaker 2: me ask you a question. What is college for? Why
- 8:55Speaker 2: do you go to college? Why do you go to college, Moshe?
- 9:00Speaker 2: Are you asking me? I'm asking either of you.
- 9:03Speaker 5: Answer a simple question.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I'm asking either of you. A human being that lives
- 9:09Speaker 2: in the United States of America. To get a degree
- 9:12Speaker 2: in a field that you could get a job for.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Why do you go to college? What's the ultimate goal?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Have some pizza. Learn about Cuba. It's to get a degree.
- 9:20Speaker 2: It's to have the college experience. It's to hang out
- 9:22Speaker 2: with friends. It's to live on your own. It's to
- 9:25Speaker 2: become an adult, we'll say. I think I've simplified even more.
- 9:29Speaker 2: You go to college. To get a job. To get
- 9:31Speaker 2: a job. Yes. What if you already have a job
- 9:34Speaker 2: while you're there? I did. And that's your job.
- 9:38Speaker 7: Just like a college professor can work at a college
- 9:42Speaker 7: until they're 80 years old.
- 9:44Speaker 2: There's no limit.
- 9:45Speaker 7: There's no term limit on a college professor. He or
- 9:48Speaker 7: she represents the college. Mo, you're on to something. I
- 9:53Speaker 7: wouldn't be surprised if college sports went that route and
- 9:56Speaker 7: they basically said, You know, this whole, hey, come to
- 9:59Speaker 7: our school. school and go to school and, you know,
- 10:01Speaker 7: get a degree. That's fine and dandy. But we want
- 10:05Speaker 7: a marketing arm. And our marketing arm is our football team,
- 10:08Speaker 7: our basketball team. And as long as they're just marketing
- 10:11Speaker 7: for us, I don't.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Care if they get degrees. I don't care if they
- 10:14Speaker 2: get 40 degrees.
- 10:15Speaker 6: You're watching Michigan and whomever, Michigan and Purdue on– ABC
- 10:21Speaker 6: on a Saturday. And the commercials come on. What's on
- 10:26Speaker 6: those commercials?
- 10:27Speaker 7: It's usually these sappy commercials about why you should go
- 10:30Speaker 7: to school at your university.
- 10:31Speaker 4: It's exactly right.
- 10:33Speaker 6: Michigan, our science program and our space, and we like
- 10:37Speaker 6: to mate frogs, and we have the greatest teaching academy
- 10:41Speaker 6: in the history of college. So college football is a
- 10:45Speaker 6: marketing arm for the university, period. That's why it floats
- 10:49Speaker 6: all boats. That's why when you had these idiots in Boulder... going,
- 10:54Speaker 6: shut down the football program. I'm like, you stupid suckholes.
- 10:57Speaker 6: Do you even know what the football program is doing
- 11:00Speaker 6: for your school? Do you have any idea? And now,
- 11:03Speaker 6: because the applications for Colorado, when Prime took over, dude,
- 11:10Speaker 6: that's why very few college-bound students in Colorado can even
- 11:15Speaker 6: get into the mother. It's because the national applications flooded CU.
- 11:21Speaker 6: It floats all boats, and whether you like it or not,
- 11:25Speaker 6: you better understand it because that's the way it goes, Vic.
- 11:27Speaker 4: You're absolutely right.
- 11:28Speaker 2: You know what's interesting?
- 11:30Speaker 7: College sports might just, if the NFL refuses to support
- 11:35Speaker 7: the development portion of college football, right, if the NFL
- 11:38Speaker 7: just looks the other way and says, nah, we're just
- 11:40Speaker 7: going to pick your best players every year and utilize
- 11:43Speaker 7: them for the rest of their lives, what's to stop
- 11:47Speaker 7: college footballs to say, okay, we're just going to compete
- 11:50Speaker 7: against you?
- 11:51Speaker 2: In a different way. Like, go to the state of
- 11:54Speaker 2: Ohio right now. Who do you think is a more
- 11:57Speaker 2: popular football team? Ohio State University or the Cleveland Browns? Buckeyes.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Who's a more popular team in the state of Ohio?
- 12:10Speaker 2: I honestly don't know.
- 12:11Speaker 6: No, because the Buckeyes are, you got people from all
- 12:14Speaker 6: over Ohio who take pride in the Buckeyes because that's
- 12:18Speaker 6: the number one school.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Because they're good.
- 12:23Speaker 5: My buddy Ryan, who's a diehard of both of them,
- 12:25Speaker 5: I asked him the question.
- 12:26Speaker 2: If you could get a Super Bowl for the Browns
- 12:29Speaker 2: or three more natties for Ohio State, what do you take?
- 12:31Speaker 2: And he would take the Browns.
- 12:33Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do to Ryan.
- 12:36Speaker 6: I'm going to get him when he's sleeping.
- 12:38Speaker 4: I'm going to shave his head.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I'd be rude of you.
- 12:40Speaker 6: I know.
- 12:41Speaker 7: So I think what you're saying is it's a circle
- 12:45Speaker 7: because there was a time in the early– you know,
- 12:49Speaker 7: 100 years ago, college football was more popular than pro football.
- 12:52Speaker 2: You understand that, right?
- 12:53Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Pro football was nonexistent. Nobody played pro football. Pro football then, hell,
- 12:58Speaker 2: college football ran the show in the United States.
- 13:01Speaker 7: It got very dangerous. Congress thought about eliminating college football.
- 13:06Speaker 2: They survived. Pro football actually grew from that. So it's
- 13:10Speaker 2: not like pro football is the root. The root is
- 13:12Speaker 2: college football. And if the colleges decide, you know what?
- 13:18Speaker 7: Why do we have to masquerade like we're here to
- 13:22Speaker 7: promote student athletes?
- 13:24Speaker 2: These guys are just working for us. Like the janitor
- 13:27Speaker 2: works for us. Like the professor works for us. Like
- 13:30Speaker 2: anybody else at the school works for us. And their
- 13:33Speaker 2: role is to market on a big stage. Why can't
- 13:37Speaker 2: they do that? What's wrong with that? You know, there's
- 13:41Speaker 2: players and athletes that represent Arsenal.
- 13:45Speaker 7: They represent different Cities across the world, why can't they
- 13:49Speaker 7: represent schools?
- 13:52Speaker 2: Counter-argument is, isn't life pretty good already? Some things I
- 13:59Speaker 2: always wonder with the NFL in college football. Don't you
- 14:02Speaker 2: guys got it pretty good? You're making billions of dollars
- 14:05Speaker 2: every single year. You got a product that, for the
- 14:08Speaker 2: most part, people seem to really, really like. Why push
- 14:12Speaker 2: the envelope even further and further? Why push it to
- 14:15Speaker 2: the point to where you're You're potentially upsetting your customer
- 14:20Speaker 2: base who likes your product. I'll give you another example,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and I could pick a lot of these, too.
- 14:25Speaker 5: What do they call it?
- 14:25Speaker 2: Is it New Coke?
- 14:26Speaker 5: What was the clear Coke that they came out with?
- 14:28Speaker 5: What was that called?
- 14:30Speaker 2: Coke Zero? No, no. There was like a clear Coca-Cola
- 14:33Speaker 2: product that came out back in the day. New Coke
- 14:35Speaker 2: and Crystal Pepsi?
- 14:36Speaker 5: Yeah, New Coke and Crystal Pepsi.
- 14:38Speaker 2: We don't want that. No.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Just give us the product that we like.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Who do you think, what football team carries more weight
- 14:46Speaker 2: in the state of Indiana? The Indianapolis Colts or the
- 14:50Speaker 2: Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Notre Dame.
- 14:54Speaker 7: I could pick a bunch of these and just throw
- 14:56Speaker 7: them your way. And I'm telling you right now, if
- 15:00Speaker 7: they really wanted to disenfranchise and break the rules, that's
- 15:04Speaker 7: how you do it.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Hey, Brett.
- 15:05Speaker 8: Brett.
- 15:06Speaker 6: The San Francisco 49ers or the Sac State Hornets?
- 15:10Speaker 2: That's a tough one. It's right down the middle. I'm
- 15:14Speaker 2: not saying you're wrong, Vic, but I'm just– I'm questioning
- 15:17Speaker 2: how– Like, is that true? If you took all these
- 15:21Speaker 2: people that were in Indiana and said, Notre Dame national title,
- 15:28Speaker 2: Colts Super Bowl, what would you take? Or you took,
- 15:32Speaker 2: you know, the same thing, like, I know in Michigan,
- 15:34Speaker 2: a bunch of Michigan and Sparty fans out there, I
- 15:39Speaker 2: think the Lions are bigger than they are. Well, me.
- 15:41Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 15:42Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:43Speaker 6: What I'm saying is that at the very, at the worst,
- 15:46Speaker 6: it's 60-40 at the worst. Probably even, and maybe in
- 15:51Speaker 6: some areas, Wolverines or more.
- 15:54Speaker 7: The collective of the NFL is obviously more popular, the collective.
- 15:58Speaker 2: But the regionalization of some of these schools, it's not
- 16:00Speaker 2: even close. See, you didn't go to a college football school.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I don't think you witnessed it. I did. Vic, I
- 16:09Speaker 2: grew up in Nebraska.
- 16:11Speaker 4: What do you mean?
- 16:11Speaker 2: So you did witness it. So you did witness it.
- 16:15Speaker 2: So you can understand where I'm coming from on this.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Of course. I know exactly how these people feel about
- 16:20Speaker 2: their team. Now, the difference is Nebraska didn't have a
- 16:23Speaker 2: professional franchise that was down the street from them. So
- 16:26Speaker 2: I have nothing to compare that to. But no, I
- 16:28Speaker 2: know the fervor for college football very, very well.
- 16:30Speaker 5: I know it.
- 16:32Speaker 2: And those people are crazy. They would do horrible things
- 16:35Speaker 2: for Nebraska to be good at football.
- 16:36Speaker 7: When I lived in Austin, Texas, the fervor and the
- 16:39Speaker 7: loyalty to Texas football from what I noticed around was tremendous.
- 16:43Speaker 7: Higher demand than it was for the Dallas Cowboys or
- 16:45Speaker 7: the Houston Texans or Houston Oilers at the time.
- 16:50Speaker 5: A texter says, Kansas basketball is the biggest sport in Kansas.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:54Speaker 5: He says, I know it's a technicality.
- 16:55Speaker 4: All right, fine.
- 16:56Speaker 5: I was going to say, not bigger than the Chiefs.
- 16:59Speaker 2: They're not.
- 17:00Speaker 5: They're big, not bigger than the Chiefs.
- 17:02Speaker 7: Again, you're weighing a team that is, it's a cross-country sport.
- 17:06Speaker 7: The NFL is a country. College sports is regional. It's
- 17:12Speaker 7: largely regional.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:14Speaker 2: And I think they dominate their regions. Well, they have to. Hey,
- 17:18Speaker 2: I brought this up before with you guys, and I'm
- 17:20Speaker 2: going to get everybody to disagree with me again. Moshe,
- 17:22Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you again. I'll ask you. College
- 17:25Speaker 2: football or the NFL? If you gave me one weekend,
- 17:29Speaker 2: you got to watch one sport over the other. It's
- 17:31Speaker 2: not even close. I'm picking college football every single time.
- 17:35Speaker 2: I get more out of it. It's more fun for me.
- 17:38Speaker 2: The NFL... When compared to college football, to me, second rate.
- 17:45Speaker 2: To me.
- 17:45Speaker 5: That's fine. That's your opinion.
- 17:48Speaker 2: It is entirely my opinion.
- 17:49Speaker 7: It's based on what makes you more of a fan.
- 17:53Speaker 2: There's plenty of people who think that way, too. There's plenty.
- 17:57Speaker 2: NFL ratings, though, they're untouchable. Of course.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Untouchable.
- 18:02Speaker 2: There's no denying the numbers. I'm just telling you how
- 18:04Speaker 2: I feel, and I'm not the only one. College football,
- 18:07Speaker 2: for me, is much more entertaining than NFL football. Always
- 18:11Speaker 2: has been, always will be. Not the only thing that
- 18:13Speaker 2: we'll get to from the NFL and news from over
- 18:15Speaker 2: the weekend. Get some audio, by the way. I want
- 18:16Speaker 2: to play from Sean Payton yesterday as well.
- 18:18Speaker 6: 303-504-0925.
- 18:19Speaker 2: And by the way, these Bo Nix people, they're trying
- 18:25Speaker 2: to fry me.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Well, it's because you.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Said something stupid yesterday.
- 18:28Speaker 4: You said he wasn't exciting yesterday.
- 18:33Speaker 2: He's an exciting player.
- 18:34Speaker 4: I did not say that.
- 18:34Speaker 2: You did say that.
- 18:36Speaker 6: I was asked, am I excited about him? I didn't
- 18:38Speaker 6: say he's not excited.
- 18:40Speaker 5: Don't you try and do the wordplay stuff on me.
- 18:43Speaker 4: You know what?
- 18:43Speaker 2: What's today?
- 18:43Speaker 4: Thursday?
- 18:44Speaker 8: Semantics!
- 18:45Speaker 4: Today's the day, Steven. You better be on the dump button.
- 18:48Speaker 6: I'm telling you right now because today is the day
- 18:51Speaker 6: stuff is coming out of my mouth.
- 18:52Speaker 4: And you're not going to.
- 18:54Speaker 8: The SE.
- 18:56Speaker 6: The FCC is not going.
- 18:58Speaker 8: To like it. You know what?
- 18:59Speaker 2: The FCC might get into this game, too.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure they're going to use the same language
- 19:03Speaker 4: I will.
- 19:04Speaker 2: So, got keywords coming up here. A chance to get
- 19:06Speaker 2: you in the building Monday night. Denver at KC. Another
- 19:11Speaker 2: keyword next. All right, got a keyword coming sometime in
- 19:13Speaker 2: the next 20 minutes.
- 19:14Speaker 5: I'm watching.
- 19:15Speaker 2: We have two screens on it. It's ESPN and ESPN2.
- 19:17Speaker 5: We have the Little League World Series going on. And
- 19:20Speaker 5: there is a kid.
- 19:21Speaker 2: I was shocked to see this, Moshe. kid from Davenport, Iowa.
- 19:27Speaker 2: And it lists, it says their name and then a
- 19:29Speaker 2: favorite something, favorite food, favorite dessert, favorite whatever. His was
- 19:33Speaker 2: favorite artist. And he said, Eminem. And I go, that
- 19:37Speaker 2: seems a little young for Eminem. I'm well versed in
- 19:41Speaker 2: the Eminem catalog. Which songs is he listening to exactly?
- 19:46Speaker 2: In which version of those songs is he listening to?
- 19:49Speaker 4: This 11 year old is favorite group is N.W.A.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Favorite movie?
- 19:53Speaker 4: Scarface.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Anyway, good for that kid. You know what? He's growing
- 19:59Speaker 2: up to be just like Vic. Good for you, bud.
- 20:01Speaker 5: A rap connoisseur, we will say.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Gangster rap. Yes, gangster rap. Gangster rap, yeah. Of course.
- 20:09Speaker 5: There are, like.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Bigger, sportsier stories to get to, but I got stuck
- 20:15Speaker 2: on something again. It's much like when I saw the
- 20:17Speaker 2: Jed York story. I couldn't get it out of my head.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I can't get this out of my head. I got
- 20:20Speaker 2: stuck on something, too, I want to get to. Okay,
- 20:22Speaker 2: can you hold it for a second? Yeah, I'm going
- 20:24Speaker 2: to hold mine.
- 20:24Speaker 6: Okay.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I'm just holding it. My beef with Carmelo Anthony has
- 20:30Speaker 2: always been, because I wasn't here when he left. I
- 20:33Speaker 2: wasn't here for the aftermath. My beef with him because
- 20:35Speaker 2: I've adopted this town. This is my town now. This
- 20:37Speaker 2: is my town. And if you talk bad about my town,
- 20:40Speaker 2: I get mad.
- 20:40Speaker 4: Today is the day I curse hard. Yeah, I can
- 20:43Speaker 4: feel it coming, Vic. Right now, I can feel it.
- 20:45Speaker 7: Okay, I've not heard this story. Obviously, Carmelo did something
- 20:50Speaker 7: to anger you and Denver.
- 20:51Speaker 2: So this is— No, no, no.
- 20:53Speaker 5: This has nothing to do with Denver. I'm just setting
- 20:55Speaker 5: up why this made me angry.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Okay.
- 20:56Speaker 8: Okay.
- 20:59Speaker 2: He will take shots at Denver, but then he'll talk
- 21:01Speaker 2: to Vic and say how much he loves Denver, and
- 21:03Speaker 2: my whole thing is you're being disingenuous. You're only saying
- 21:05Speaker 2: this because you feel like, one, you have to say it,
- 21:07Speaker 2: and two, you just want people to like you. I
- 21:10Speaker 2: just feel like he's not being honest. So the dishonesty
- 21:14Speaker 2: is what bothers me about Carmelo. He was on a
- 21:17Speaker 2: podcast with Rudy Gay, and they were talking about how
- 21:21Speaker 2: they wind down as basketball players, and I want you
- 21:23Speaker 2: guys to listen. Nelly, go ahead.
- 21:26Speaker 9: And I'm glad that you were able to tell this
- 21:27Speaker 9: story about Magic City in a sense, but we utilized
- 21:33Speaker 9: those moments to go to places like that. And it
- 21:37Speaker 9: was very, at times, it was very respectful, though.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Pause for a second.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Magic City is the famous strip club in Atlanta.
- 21:43Speaker 2: That is what he's discussing. He's discussing strip clubs. Go ahead.
- 21:47Speaker 9: We were going, like, yo, we don't want no girls. Like,
- 21:49Speaker 9: there's no girls around us. Like, we coming here, we chilling,
- 21:51Speaker 9: we bonding. We got to get our mind right.
- 21:53Speaker 8: We going to come and eat. We going to have.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Chili's is pretty.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Good too though, boy. Just let him go. Just let
- 22:00Speaker 2: him go.
- 22:00Speaker 9: We got to get our mind right. We're going to
- 22:02Speaker 9: come and eat. We're going to have a good team outing.
- 22:04Speaker 8: No girls.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Leave it alone. You might lose two or three games
- 22:08Speaker 2: in a row.
- 22:08Speaker 1: All right, we're going to magic. We're all going to
- 22:10Speaker 1: get together.
- 22:11Speaker 6: No girls.
- 22:11Speaker 4: We're just going to laugh, chill, have a drink, eat, whatever.
- 22:14Speaker 8: Everybody thinks that.
- 22:15Speaker 9: You are going there to get lap dances. You're going
- 22:18Speaker 9: there for the boys. No, you're not going there for the.
- 22:22Speaker 9: You're really going there to clear your mind. You're going
- 22:25Speaker 9: there to just relax and clear your mind. Might have
- 22:27Speaker 9: a drink, might have some food. Most strip clubs got
- 22:29Speaker 9: the best food. So you prefer to go there. You
- 22:33Speaker 9: get everything in one. You get music, you get food,
- 22:38Speaker 9: you get good vibes.
- 22:40Speaker 8: You get to watch the games.
- 22:42Speaker 2: So, let me just tell you something. That might be
- 22:46Speaker 2: the most disingenuous conversation I've ever heard in the history
- 22:51Speaker 2: of podcast, broadcast, cast, cast. When I'm talking about disingenuous
- 22:58Speaker 2: and flat out lying, I cannot think of something that
- 23:01Speaker 2: lies more than that conversation I just heard for the
- 23:04Speaker 2: last minute.
- 23:04Speaker 8: Most strip clubs got the best food.
- 23:07Speaker 4: Okay.
- 23:08Speaker 2: You could go, you know that Gordon Ramsay Michelin star restaurant?
- 23:13Speaker 2: Doesn't hold a candle to Magic City and the dudes
- 23:15Speaker 2: working back there. Not a candle to it.
- 23:17Speaker 6: Shanahan's has a back room. You know, you can go
- 23:19Speaker 6: have steaks in the back.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on.
- 23:23Speaker 5: We're going to the strip club, Moj.
- 23:25Speaker 8: Hang on.
- 23:27Speaker 4: For good food, good vibes.
- 23:30Speaker 5: Camaraderie.
- 23:31Speaker 2: And to watch the game, which sounds like places I
- 23:34Speaker 2: go to all the time with fully clothed women. They're
- 23:39Speaker 2: called sports bars or breweries. Now, do people listen? Back
- 23:46Speaker 2: in the day, if you attended one of those clubs,
- 23:51Speaker 2: the intent, the intent. Let me just speak on behalf
- 23:55Speaker 2: of the men who attend those clubs. The intent and
- 24:00Speaker 2: the reason you attend is for the tourism attraction. The tourism.
- 24:10Speaker 2: It's not for the food. It's not for the camaraderie.
- 24:14Speaker 2: It's not for any of that. That is the biggest
- 24:18Speaker 2: lie I've ever heard in my life. In my life.
- 24:22Speaker 10: I just need a place to, you know, kick back,
- 24:24Speaker 10: have some brewskis, watch the game with my boys, recharge
- 24:26Speaker 10: after a two or three game losing streak.
- 24:28Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. You guys remember
- 24:30Speaker 2: the clip from Steve Ballmer where he said, they conned me, right?
- 24:34Speaker 2: You always know when somebody's telling the truth when they
- 24:36Speaker 2: hit that octave. That one up here.
- 24:39Speaker 5: Can you play that again for me, Nelly?
- 24:40Speaker 8: Most strip clubs got the best fool.
- 24:43Speaker 7: Well, what it sounds like to me is a couple
- 24:44Speaker 7: dudes just trying to legitimize some of their vices.
- 24:48Speaker 2: That's all.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Look, they conned me.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Wasn't it Lou Williams? Who was the player?
- 24:51Speaker 7: Was it Lou Williams who decided not to go to
- 24:54Speaker 7: the bubble because he was infatuated with Magic City's chicken wings?
- 24:58Speaker 10: Yes, he left the bubble, and I think he had
- 25:00Speaker 10: a family obligation, but on the way back, he swung
- 25:02Speaker 10: by Magic City just for chicken wings.
- 25:05Speaker 2: The wings. I'm sure he got them to go.
- 25:09Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not trying to be, you know, This
- 25:12Speaker 7: is not about being morally superior.
- 25:14Speaker 2: It's just, don't lie. Just be honest. I don't care
- 25:18Speaker 2: what you do with your free time. I don't care
- 25:20Speaker 2: what you do with your boys.
- 25:21Speaker 7: Hell, I got in trouble once when I was helping
- 25:24Speaker 7: coach my kids' baseball team.
- 25:26Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you how old they were.
- 25:27Speaker 2: I took them to Hooters. I got in trouble for that.
- 25:31Speaker 2: What's he going to say?
- 25:32Speaker 5: It sounds like Melo is describing.
- 25:34Speaker 9: More of Hooters.
- 25:37Speaker 4: You know that old magazine, Playboy? Well, you read it
- 25:43Speaker 4: for the articles. Yes, of course.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Like Rube Baker did in Major League.
- 25:47Speaker 6: Vic, do you recall when Playboy had their college football
- 25:50Speaker 6: All-American issue and all that kind of thing? Yeah.
- 25:53Speaker 2: And it was an honor. These guys, they came cross-country.
- 25:56Speaker 4: These guys wanted to be in Playboy. These dudes, yes.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Was that the old, was that the one where Bob
- 26:02Speaker 2: Hope introduced them? Or was that a different one?
- 26:04Speaker 4: That was a different one.
- 26:05Speaker 6: Okay. But Playboy had their All-American team. I'm not kidding you, dude.
- 26:10Speaker 6: I read it for the articles.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Come on. Can I ask you something? You know, stop.
- 26:14Speaker 5: I've never done this before, but just can I ask
- 26:16Speaker 5: you something?
- 26:16Speaker 2: Yes. If I went to one of these establishments, if
- 26:20Speaker 2: I went to Shotguns, Okay, let's.
- 26:22Speaker 4: Just say this.
- 26:23Speaker 2: You've been to one of these establishments. No, no, of course,
- 26:26Speaker 2: of course. Let's not try to lie to our audience here.
- 26:29Speaker 2: We're not in the lying mode here. No, a handful
- 26:32Speaker 2: of occasions. And your intent on that establishment, let's continue.
- 26:35Speaker 7: Your intent was not to enjoy some camaraderie and great food.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Well, this is my question. Of course, I think that
- 26:42Speaker 2: every man has been there. Have you been on a
- 26:45Speaker 2: bachelor party? It happens. What I've never done is this
- 26:49Speaker 2: when I'm at the strip club, though. I've never dined
- 26:55Speaker 2: and tucked the napkin into my shirt as I'm eating
- 26:58Speaker 2: the wings. That I've never done.
- 27:01Speaker 6: So are we, you want me to say it? I'll
- 27:03Speaker 6: say it because I'm the one who's got the biggest
- 27:04Speaker 6: problem with him.
- 27:08Speaker 4: He's a fraud.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Of course.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Mello is an absolute fraud. I don't want him back here.
- 27:15Speaker 4: That wasn't the discussion, but okay. Well, I'm making it
- 27:17Speaker 4: the discussion. I don't want his name in the rafters.
- 27:19Speaker 8: Most strip clubs got the best for you.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Still, it's my favorite thing.
- 27:25Speaker 6: And you're so right. He's like, yeah, he talks to Vic.
- 27:29Speaker 6: Buddy's up to Vic. Oh, yeah, I love Denver. Denver's
- 27:31Speaker 6: my people, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then every other opportunity
- 27:34Speaker 6: he has, he badmouths the team.
- 27:39Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, was Carmelo at the Nuggets championship parade?
- 27:42Speaker 2: No. Was he at New York's?
- 27:44Speaker 10: Yes.
- 27:45Speaker 2: He lives in New York. I'm going to be very
- 27:48Speaker 2: upfront about this. Don't you?
- 27:49Speaker 4: He lives in New York.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Don't you?
- 27:52Speaker 2: He lives in New York.
- 27:53Speaker 6: Me. He can't afford the Southwest flight out from New
- 27:56Speaker 6: York to Denver.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Can I finish my statement, please?
- 27:59Speaker 7: I'm very biased when it comes to this because I
- 28:02Speaker 7: had a personal relationship with the guy when he was here,
- 28:05Speaker 7: and it's different than the one you might have.
- 28:08Speaker 2: So I've seen the good in him. I have. I
- 28:11Speaker 2: understand also where there's some holes in his logic. And
- 28:14Speaker 2: there's some holes in his logic. I acknowledge that. There
- 28:17Speaker 2: really is. He wants it so badly. You know, for
- 28:21Speaker 2: him to see the Knicks win a championship probably made
- 28:25Speaker 2: him feel better because the team he left won one
- 28:27Speaker 2: before his team, his new team won one.
- 28:29Speaker 8: True.
- 28:30Speaker 2: And they both won one without him.
- 28:35Speaker 5: Can I bring you guys something? By the way, this
- 28:36Speaker 5: is from.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Oh, look at this. Elliott Friedman. Hey, Brett, can I
- 28:43Speaker 2: bring you something first?
- 28:44Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, go ahead.
- 28:45Speaker 1: It's time for another Rock Paper Tickets keyword.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Avoid. You know, we all know on defense to avoid
- 28:51Speaker 2: the quarterback, right?
- 28:52Speaker 1: Sometimes they get too close, and we simply remind them.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Avoid.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Text it in now to 303-504-0925. That's your keyword. It
- 28:59Speaker 1: is avoid.
- 29:06Speaker 5: In your first and last name to 303-504-0925.
- 29:07Speaker 2: They get you in the building at Rooftop Social on
- 29:11Speaker 2: Tuesday for the Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. If you win
- 29:14Speaker 2: it all, you're off to KC with flights, hotel, and
- 29:17Speaker 2: tickets to watch Denver at KC Monday night to open
- 29:20Speaker 2: the year. This from Elliott Friedman. About to go offline
- 29:24Speaker 2: for a bit, but the much-anticipated extension for Kale McCarr
- 29:27Speaker 2: in Colorado is closing in. Going to be a biggie,
- 29:31Speaker 2: but a critical piece of business for the abs. So
- 29:35Speaker 2: it looks like kale is right there at the two
- 29:38Speaker 2: yard line about to get this deal done.
- 29:40Speaker 7: You know, when, when are we going to understand that? And,
- 29:44Speaker 7: and Mojo, I know you get it. Joe Sackick doesn't
- 29:48Speaker 7: mince words. He doesn't mess around. He doesn't play games.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Yep.
- 29:52Speaker 2: When he said the other day, it's fine. We're going
- 29:54Speaker 2: to get it done. A lot of people shrug that
- 29:57Speaker 2: off as, yeah, that's what he thinks. No, That's what
- 30:00Speaker 2: he means. It's not what he thinks. That's what he means.
- 30:03Speaker 2: He's not going to sensationalize anything. He's not into that.
- 30:08Speaker 2: If he believes something's going to get done, it's going
- 30:10Speaker 2: to get done. If he believes it's not, it's not.
- 30:13Speaker 6: All you have to do is listen to what he says,
- 30:17Speaker 6: and you're going to learn. Take him at face value. Vic,
- 30:23Speaker 6: after the Avs lost and they had this season wrap-up
- 30:25Speaker 6: news conference.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very matter-of-fact. Yeah, we weren't good enough.
- 30:28Speaker 2: No excuses.
- 30:30Speaker 6: And he said, look, Cale's going to be an avalanche
- 30:32Speaker 6: for life. Okay, so what do you want from me? Essentially,
- 30:35Speaker 6: he's what he said.
- 30:37Speaker 7: Yeah, stop trying to nitpick this. Stop trying to look
- 30:39Speaker 7: at every angle. Stop trying to speculate. Stop trying to rationalize.
- 30:43Speaker 7: He's going to be with us forever.
- 30:44Speaker 2: That's it.
- 30:46Speaker 6: Every time we've discussed this topic, I've come on these airwaves,
- 30:50Speaker 6: and I've said, it's going to get done. And, Brett,
- 30:53Speaker 6: you laid it out there perfectly. You were Joe Sackett. Hey,
- 30:56Speaker 6: Cale– Do you want to take a little bit?
- 31:00Speaker 4: No, I don't think I... Okay, well, then just sign
- 31:02Speaker 4: right here.
- 31:03Speaker 6: I mean, that's the way this goes because you're talking about.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Here's the check.
- 31:07Speaker 5: Write the number down and I'll throw my name on it.
- 31:09Speaker 2: It's exactly right. Let's have a contest right now. Let's
- 31:13Speaker 2: all throw out terms. What do you think the number
- 31:16Speaker 2: and the term is going to be if it's signed today?
- 31:19Speaker 6: 18.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Well, let me do the math.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I don't think... I mean, just don't throw out just
- 31:23Speaker 2: one number. Okay, 18 for.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Stop.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I'm just asking for eight balls and $ 2 million.
- 31:35Speaker 6: It's going to be an eight-year $ 152 to $ 155 million contract.
- 31:40Speaker 2: What is that per?
- 31:42Speaker 6: That's 19 to 19.8 per.
- 31:46Speaker 2: So you think he's going for the highest in the league? Probably.
- 31:50Speaker 2: I'd say maybe he gives him a little bit of
- 31:53Speaker 2: a haircut. I got a number. I'm going 18 and
- 31:56Speaker 2: a half. I got five years and $ 90 million.
- 31:59Speaker 4: No, what?
- 32:00Speaker 6: Divided by five equals 18 per.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I got five years, 90 million written down.
- 32:07Speaker 6: So he's going to take less than Macklin Celebrini's getting
- 32:10Speaker 6: in San Jose.
- 32:12Speaker 2: We're playing prices right here, all right? We've all had
- 32:14Speaker 2: our guesses. I got 590. That's the guess I got.
- 32:17Speaker 6: Okay, well, I think it's going to be a long term.
- 32:20Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's going to be a max deal.
- 32:21Speaker 6: I mean, eight years is what you can sign.
- 32:23Speaker 4: If he gets it done.
- 32:25Speaker 4: Now he can get eight years. Vic, term is a
- 32:29Speaker 4: big thing.
- 32:29Speaker 5: 18 and a half over eight years.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Equals what?
- 32:33Speaker 2: 148. Okay, I'm guessing. Eight at 148.
- 32:36Speaker 6: I'm going to say it's 150 or north of 150.
- 32:38Speaker 6: That's my guess.
- 32:39Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a shorter deal than
- 32:40Speaker 2: you think. I think it's 590.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Really?
- 32:42Speaker 2: Yeah. That's just my guess. I mean, I don't have
- 32:46Speaker 2: any insight. So Evan Rawal said they, hang on, I
- 32:50Speaker 2: just had it pulled up.
- 32:51Speaker 5: One moment, please. McCarr extension should be done soon. Got
- 32:54Speaker 5: word they.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Agreed late last night on terms. Guess Sackett was not
- 32:58Speaker 2: worried for a reason. Okay, see, so.
- 33:02Speaker 6: Stop for a second. This is for my own personal psyche. Vic,
- 33:07Speaker 6: you're a doctor of some things. Be a psychologist right now.
- 33:12Speaker 6: Why is it when Elliott Friedman says it or Evan
- 33:15Speaker 6: says it, Why does that carry more weight than when
- 33:18Speaker 6: I say it?
- 33:19Speaker 2: Because it's unbiased, and I understand where people are coming from.
- 33:22Speaker 8: What are you saying?
- 33:22Speaker 2: We're biased. We're biased.
- 33:24Speaker 7: It's just like when I say something, when I told
- 33:26Speaker 7: you what the Nuggets were going to do, and I
- 33:28Speaker 7: told you this four months ago.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Right. I said it four months ago, and it happens.
- 33:32Speaker 2: It's because we are biased, and I get it.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Well, people have been freaking out a little bit. The
- 33:36Speaker 6: Avs fans who are maybe hypersensitive to these kind of discussions.
- 33:41Speaker 6: I said, it's going to get done. I said, don't worry. It's...
- 33:45Speaker 6: He's an avalanche, and he's going to be an avalanche.
- 33:47Speaker 6: He's going to go down in history as one of
- 33:50Speaker 6: the greatest defensemen to ever play this game.
- 33:52Speaker 4: He's got a couple Norris. There's more Norris coming.
- 33:55Speaker 6: That's who this guy is, and it took me forever
- 33:59Speaker 6: to believe it in my own head because when I
- 34:01Speaker 6: discuss Bobby Orr, that's like discussing an apostle. But when
- 34:08Speaker 6: you look at the numbers and where things stack up
- 34:10Speaker 6: and how things compare, If things continue on the current track, Vic,
- 34:14Speaker 6: that's what this is. So why is it when I
- 34:17Speaker 6: talk about, dude, just relax.
- 34:19Speaker 2: It's fine. I don't think that many people are freaking
- 34:22Speaker 2: about this.
- 34:25Speaker 4: I don't think people are freaking.
- 34:26Speaker 6: Never underestimate a sports fan's ability to freak.
- 34:33Speaker 4: I see it online. Oh, my God. You know, they're
- 34:35Speaker 4: going to get this done.
- 34:36Speaker 2: The deadline's going up. That kind of thing.
- 34:38Speaker 4: I'm like, look, dude, it's going to be fine.
- 34:42Speaker 2: 303-504-0925. Remember, tune in at the 20-minute mark and 40-minute
- 34:49Speaker 2: mark of each hour for those keywords each show, your
- 34:52Speaker 2: chance to get in for that Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament
- 34:54Speaker 2: and a chance to go to that Monday night opener,
- 34:57Speaker 2: Denver and KC.
- 34:58Speaker 8: Yes, Vic?
- 34:59Speaker 7: I used to know this by heart, and I had
- 35:01Speaker 7: to look it up again because I forgot a couple,
- 35:03Speaker 7: but let me test Mosher. How many of the 12
- 35:05Speaker 7: apostles can you name, Mosher?
- 35:11Speaker 2: Peter, Paul, Matthew, Luke.
- 35:16Speaker 8: Judas. Judas.
- 35:17Speaker 2: John. Hold on, hold on. Did you say Luke? Yeah.
- 35:21Speaker 2: There's no Luke. Gerald. There's no Gerald or Austin. Francisco.
- 35:34Speaker 2: He doesn't exist.
- 35:34Speaker 8: Come on.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Let's get to all 12. Let's go. Come on.
- 35:40Speaker 8: Amos.
- 35:41Speaker 2: No, Abus is not an apostle.
- 35:47Speaker 8: Come on.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Matthew. Matthew, good job. I'm just thinking. Just do basic
- 35:55Speaker 2: religious type names and you'll probably hit them. Come on.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Africa Bambada and the Zulu Nation. Mackenzie. Nope. Mackenzie Phillips
- 36:06Speaker 2: is not an apostle. Bartholomew.
- 36:11Speaker 4: Bartholomew, there you go.
- 36:12Speaker 2: I love this. Good old Bart. I love this from
- 36:14Speaker 2: a texter. Mosher, just say it like Stephen A. Smith
- 36:17Speaker 2: breaking down college basketball teams during NCAA tournament time. With authority.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Jesus Christ and them boys.
- 36:26Speaker 6: Andrew.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Andrew's an apostle.
- 36:30Speaker 8: Simon.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Did you mention Simon?
- 36:31Speaker 4: No, I didn't mention Simon.
- 36:32Speaker 2: You're right.
- 36:32Speaker 6: But here's the problem with these other kind of apostles
- 36:36Speaker 6: over here, Vic, like Andrew and Simon, they're just kind
- 36:38Speaker 6: of hanging out for the wine.
- 36:40Speaker 4: Ezekiel? They're not really involved in the goodness of the good.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Is there an Ezekiel? No, there's no Ezekiel. How many
- 36:49Speaker 2: did we get there?
- 36:49Speaker 4: He's just coming up.
- 36:50Speaker 2: With religious names now.
- 36:52Speaker 4: You told me to come up with religious names.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Muhammad.
- 36:55Speaker 2: No, Muhammad's not an apostle. Joseph? Joseph is not an apostle, nope.
- 37:01Speaker 4: Oh, that was his dad.
- 37:04Speaker 2: We got most of them. I just wanted to test
- 37:06Speaker 2: you there, Moj.
- 37:07Speaker 4: I did pretty good.
- 37:08Speaker 2: You did.
- 37:09Speaker 6: The guys that hang out, the guys that are just
- 37:11Speaker 6: there for the bread and the wine.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Jonah and or the whale. No.
- 37:15Speaker 6: There's guys over here just there for the bread and
- 37:17Speaker 6: the wine. They kind of hang out and walk around,
- 37:19Speaker 6: but they don't really do anything. I named all the
- 37:22Speaker 6: ones that did stuff. I'd be that apostle. I'd be like,
- 37:26Speaker 6: bread and wine time, boys.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Hey, Jesus, you got a little beer over there? You
- 37:33Speaker 4: got a little nice IPA?
- 37:34Speaker 2: I'd be the activities apostle. Hey, dunk hoop, scepter, dinner.
- 37:38Speaker 2: All right. A little golf?
- 37:41Speaker 8: 303-504-0925.
- 37:41Speaker 5: Chad Brown will join us at 8 o'clock.
- 37:43Speaker 11: Stick around. 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4.
- 37:53Speaker 2: All right, so we're awaiting this Kale McCarr contract details.
- 37:57Speaker 2: The reports are the deal is pretty much done. It's
- 38:00Speaker 2: just we don't know the term nor the money, nothing.
- 38:04Speaker 2: So we're waiting on that, but Kale seems to be
- 38:06Speaker 2: locked in long-term for the Avs. So if you are
- 38:10Speaker 2: one of those, I think, few people that are freaking
- 38:12Speaker 2: out about this, deep breath.
- 38:15Speaker 5: It's all fine.
- 38:16Speaker 4: When are we going to get back into the Bo
- 38:18Speaker 4: Nix discussion?
- 38:19Speaker 2: What's what's to discuss. He's not playing Friday night as expected.
- 38:24Speaker 2: They've seen enough. He's fine. And I'm excited about Bo Nix.
- 38:28Speaker 2: You may not be. Here's what Peyton said yesterday.
- 38:30Speaker 8: We'll see.
- 38:31Speaker 3: I mean, do I talk to you guys tomorrow?
- 38:34Speaker 2: All right.
- 38:35Speaker 3: He probably won't play in this game.
- 38:37Speaker 6: All right.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Let's not go through everyone else.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Let's give you a couple more here from Sean Peyton yesterday. Um,
- 38:47Speaker 2: He's asked who's the backup quarterback and are they going
- 38:49Speaker 2: to keep three on the roster this year? No, not yet.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Good question.
- 38:58Speaker 3: If there were like eight roster questions, it's one of
- 39:02Speaker 3: the eight as you're looking at building your roster.
- 39:06Speaker 8: Huh? Interesting.
- 39:08Speaker 7: First of all, interesting that he said good question because
- 39:11Speaker 7: if you've noticed something about Sean Payton, if he follows
- 39:14Speaker 7: your question with a good question, That means he's been
- 39:17Speaker 7: thinking about it.
- 39:19Speaker 6: Vic, I love the fact... You're pretty omniscient, Vic. Yeah,
- 39:25Speaker 6: if he says good question, like he said to DMACC, right?
- 39:28Speaker 4: After the game.
- 39:28Speaker 2: He's been thinking about it.
- 39:29Speaker 4: If he says.
- 39:29Speaker 6: I appreciate your question, that means it's been on his mind.
- 39:33Speaker 6: He just ain't going to tell you what you want
- 39:34Speaker 6: to know.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Is that almost like a teacher asking a question to
- 39:37Speaker 2: the class and a student gets the answer right and
- 39:39Speaker 2: it's like a good job? Is that what it is?
- 39:42Speaker 2: Good job.
- 39:42Speaker 6: Yeah, but he thinks– I don't know that he thinks this,
- 39:46Speaker 6: but he probably assumes that all the muggles out there,
- 39:49Speaker 6: as DMACC calls them– Are stupid.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Are dummies, right.
- 39:52Speaker 6: They're dummies, and they're not going to get into his
- 39:57Speaker 6: private world. But when somebody brings up something, Vic, you're
- 40:00Speaker 6: so correct, that he's really been contemplating– He's like, that's
- 40:04Speaker 6: a good question. I ain't going to tell you, Jack, squat,
- 40:07Speaker 6: but thank you.
- 40:07Speaker 4: For asking that question.
- 40:08Speaker 2: That's why I asked that to Schefter earlier in the week.
- 40:11Speaker 2: It's still on the table. I am not convinced that
- 40:13Speaker 2: they're going to keep three quarterbacks. I'm not.
- 40:15Speaker 4: What's interesting, Vic, is that when we have Leggy on–
- 40:18Speaker 4: Leggy's today, is he not?
- 40:19Speaker 2: Leggy is today.
- 40:20Speaker 5: And I made a mistake. Chad Brown will start next
- 40:22Speaker 5: week with us.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Okay, you got your Leggy's and your Brown's mixed up.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Well, no, I knew Leggy was coming too.
- 40:27Speaker 6: So Leggy said, Vic, on multiple occasions– that Ellinger had
- 40:34Speaker 6: an opportunity last season to be on an active 53,
- 40:39Speaker 6: and he chose to stay with the Broncos on the
- 40:42Speaker 6: practice squad and bounce up on game day and so
- 40:44Speaker 6: on and so forth for a reason. He chose to
- 40:48Speaker 6: stay here, or they convinced him to stay here for
- 40:51Speaker 6: a reason. That, to me, sounds like, hey, man, he's
- 40:55Speaker 6: got an opportunity to be on the 53 here on
- 40:58Speaker 6: a regular basis. I almost feel like, golly, and nobody's
- 41:04Speaker 6: going to say this, I almost.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Feel like it's his to lose. It's his backup job
- 41:11Speaker 4: to lose.
- 41:13Speaker 2: You think?
- 41:16Speaker 6: He stayed for a reason. Put it in your brain, Vic.
- 41:20Speaker 6: What was said by Sean Payton to Sam Ellinger last
- 41:23Speaker 6: year to convince him to stay with the Denver Broncos
- 41:27Speaker 6: on the practice and bounce up and down.
- 41:28Speaker 4: I know exactly what it was. As opposed to go
- 41:30Speaker 4: to a 53 someplace else.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Stick around. You might have a chance sooner than you think.
- 41:35Speaker 6: At the very least. I think that's at the very least. Or, hey, listen,
- 41:39Speaker 6: going into next year, dude, we like you. We think
- 41:43Speaker 6: you have a good chance to be our backup. No
- 41:44Speaker 6: offense to Stiddy. You know, for the right price, too.
- 41:48Speaker 6: Stick around because we really like you.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's also a chance maybe you just,
- 41:57Speaker 2: he thought he was getting really good tutelage underneath a
- 42:01Speaker 2: very good offensive-minded head coach.
- 42:03Speaker 6: Yeah, that could be it too, but look, man, if
- 42:05Speaker 6: you have a chance to make good money as a
- 42:08Speaker 6: backup on a 53, then you usually take that.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Can I ask you, if you could be the backup,
- 42:17Speaker 2: it was a bad franchise. Tennessee? Tennessee. Sure, Tennessee. If
- 42:22Speaker 2: you could be the backup to Cam Ward in Tennessee,
- 42:25Speaker 2: or you could be the third-string quarterback under Kyle Shanahan
- 42:28Speaker 2: or under Sean McVay, there's some value. I think it
- 42:34Speaker 2: would be a discussion about if I could learn under
- 42:38Speaker 2: Shanahan or learn under McVay, who just seem to turn
- 42:41Speaker 2: guys into gold.
- 42:42Speaker 6: No, because you're one play away from being on the
- 42:44Speaker 6: field and playing. I would take the frigging backup job
- 42:47Speaker 6: any day.
- 42:48Speaker 2: I get it. I'm just saying the opportunity to learn
- 42:51Speaker 2: from a master of the craft.
- 42:54Speaker 4: Vic, a 20 spot to you. Who's the backup in Tennessee?
- 43:00Speaker 2: Right now?
- 43:00Speaker 4: Behind Cam Ward.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Will Levis. It is not. It's not Will Levis?
- 43:05Speaker 4: On the depth chart, it's officially listed as?
- 43:06Speaker 2: Hang on, hang on, hang on.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Been around. This guy's been around a little bit.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Case Keenum?
- 43:13Speaker 6: Nope.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Not that much around.
- 43:16Speaker 6: You want me to tell you where he's played before?
- 43:21Speaker 2: Yes. Sonny Jurgensen. Close.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Chicago and Buffalo.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Chicago and Buffalo. Tyrod Taylor. Mitch Trubisky. Mitchie Trubisky.
- 43:31Speaker 4: That is correct. Good job, Brett.
- 43:33Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 43:34Speaker 4: Where's Will Levis? He's there, too, but he's been relegated
- 43:38Speaker 4: to three. Him and his mayonnaise. Look at the big
- 43:40Speaker 4: brain on Brett.
- 43:42Speaker 2: I mean, he gave me some help. Yeah, yeah. We
- 43:46Speaker 2: could play that game all day, backup quarterback game. That's
- 43:49Speaker 2: a tough game. That's a hard game in the NFL.
- 43:52Speaker 2: It really is.
- 43:53Speaker 4: That's not an easy game to play.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Well, they move more than transfer quarterbacks in college football.
- 43:57Speaker 6: You know what's so funny? My guy, Zach Wilson, has
- 43:59Speaker 6: a job, right? When we start talking about Ellingers and
- 44:02Speaker 6: Stidhams and whatnot, I go back to my guy.
- 44:03Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. Where's Zach at? Yeah, where is he?
- 44:06Speaker 4: He's the third stringer in New Orleans.
- 44:09Speaker 2: How is.
- 44:11Speaker 4: I know.
- 44:11Speaker 2: I do.
- 44:12Speaker 4: I know. And this is what breaks my heart. Who's
- 44:15Speaker 4: the starter with the New Orleans Saints?
- 44:17Speaker 8: Shuck. Shuck.
- 44:18Speaker 4: Tyler Shuck.
- 44:19Speaker 2: That's correct. Spencer Rattler's a backup. Yes.
- 44:21Speaker 4: Rattler's right now officially listed as the backup. And my boy,
- 44:26Speaker 4: pretty boy.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Who has more experience than both of those guys.
- 44:29Speaker 4: And a better arm, perhaps, than both those guys.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Shuck played really well towards the end of the year.
- 44:33Speaker 4: No, he did.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Be careful. No, he did.
- 44:35Speaker 4: And he's got a lot of way to throw to still.
- 44:37Speaker 2: The Saints were winning football games when he started.
- 44:40Speaker 6: What? I don't know how the Saints stink. They've got
- 44:45Speaker 6: Etienne as the running back. They've got Baylor as the third.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Well, they do now.
- 44:48Speaker 5: They didn't last year.
- 44:49Speaker 4: Well, I know.
- 44:49Speaker 6: But, I mean, they're going to be maybe pretty decent
- 44:52Speaker 6: or at least a 500-football team.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Other defense ain't so great.
- 44:56Speaker 8: Well, we'll see.
- 44:57Speaker 2: We'll see. So, anyway, we're awaiting the term of this
- 45:01Speaker 2: McCarr news. It looks like a deal got done late
- 45:03Speaker 2: last night. We just don't know what that deal is yet.
- 45:06Speaker 4: By the way, who's their backup tight end?
- 45:09Speaker 2: We can start doing backup tight end games now. In
- 45:12Speaker 2: New Orleans?
- 45:13Speaker 5: Okay, so it's got to be Fant?
- 45:15Speaker 8: Yes!
- 45:16Speaker 2: Noah Fant. Look at the big brain on him.
- 45:18Speaker 4: I'm so proud of you.
- 45:20Speaker 5: It would be a former Bronco. It was either that
- 45:23Speaker 5: or like Albert O.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Riley Odoms.
- 45:27Speaker 8: All right.
- 45:27Speaker 2: Let's not. Would you guys allow me 30 seconds?
- 45:31Speaker 4: Don't go over the top today, please.
- 45:33Speaker 7: Would you allow me 30 seconds? I don't understand how
- 45:38Speaker 7: this happens. Were you guys by chance driving around Denver
- 45:43Speaker 7: when that microburst hit yesterday?
- 45:46Speaker 4: Oh, dude, I was on the golf course. For over
- 45:49Speaker 4: two hours, it was a nightmare.
- 45:50Speaker 8: Okay.
- 45:51Speaker 2: On the north side here, on the west side, north side,
- 45:54Speaker 2: it came in quick. You didn't even see it. Couldn't
- 45:57Speaker 2: even see it. One second you're looking up, oh, clear skies.
- 46:00Speaker 7: The next second, hail and intense rain, like a tropical
- 46:04Speaker 7: rain coming through. Anyway, we're on Wadsworth driving north. And
- 46:10Speaker 7: there's the I-70 bridge. Hail started coming down. Little hail,
- 46:17Speaker 7: not the big hail.
- 46:18Speaker 2: All of a sudden, traffic comes to a complete stop.
- 46:23Speaker 7: And I'm talking about a mile of traffic. There's about
- 46:26Speaker 7: four or five cars that decided, we're going to wait
- 46:29Speaker 7: under the bridge while the hail stops.
- 46:32Speaker 2: And the rest of us behind them are just, you
- 46:37Speaker 2: lose musical chairs, you're stuck in the road. Everything stops.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Everyone's like, what is going on? There must be an
- 46:42Speaker 2: accident up there.
- 46:43Speaker 7: No, just a few cars that thought that they were
- 46:47Speaker 7: too nice, too good to be exposed to the hail
- 46:51Speaker 7: decided to stop under the bridge.
- 46:52Speaker 5: I'm telling you right now.
- 46:53Speaker 2: What kind of punishment should come of that? Get their
- 46:55Speaker 2: plate numbers, turn them into the police, or give them
- 46:59Speaker 2: to me, and I will hog tie them and roll
- 47:01Speaker 2: them over the border.
- 47:02Speaker 7: Can you believe the selfishness in that?
- 47:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty silly, dude.
- 47:07Speaker 2: But here's the thing, Vic.
- 47:08Speaker 5: A lot of times.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Moe, you come across as a guy that would do
- 47:10Speaker 2: that with your new car. Not a chance in hell.
- 47:12Speaker 2: A lot of times, if you are driving, it's like
- 47:14Speaker 2: if you just go another quarter mile, you aren't in
- 47:16Speaker 2: hail anymore.
- 47:17Speaker 5: And then nobody's in hail.
- 47:18Speaker 6: I've been caught in hail on my motorcycle before. So yeah,
