- 0:33Speaker 4: a half to go on Houston. And this thing is Alva.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Half court shot by Jeff Green is an airball that
- 0:43Speaker 2: goes out of mountain.
- 0:46Speaker 4: The Denver No, that's handy. Houston rockets their largest loss
- 0:50Speaker 4: of the season by far. Denver blows out Houston one
- 0:55Speaker 4: twenty nine to ninety three.
- 0:59Speaker 5: This is huge Euston to say, again, please Houston, we.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Have a problem.
- 1:05Speaker 6: We're very obviously going to talk about the Nuggets here.
- 1:08Speaker 6: But Vic, I started the show like this yesterday, so
- 1:10Speaker 6: I started to get hey, mos most calm calmet allmit hallmit.
- 1:19Speaker 6: Not only was the singing not grade at seven am,
- 1:22Speaker 6: it was also delayed.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Bad dog, Vic.
- 1:29Speaker 6: God bless your Italians, Baby, God, bless your Italians getting
- 1:32Speaker 6: us through. I don't want Vinnie Pats Guinino with three
- 1:36Speaker 6: express shots last night. I like it, So I just
- 1:39Speaker 6: want to start there. I said I hated your Italians yesterday.
- 1:41Speaker 6: I'm gonna say I love them this morning, just to
- 1:42Speaker 6: be fair in the sense of fairness.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Now, I really love you anti Italian than me. Man
- 1:47Speaker 3: that I don't know. It just sounds kind of you'll
- 1:49Speaker 3: get yours.
- 1:51Speaker 6: Yeah, I already got mine. Uh you beat us. Anyway,
- 1:57Speaker 6: that was a breath of fresh air and something much needed.
- 2:01Speaker 7: Things becason why I'm allowed to real quickly, the reason
- 2:05Speaker 7: why I'm allowed to pull for Team Italy in baseball,
- 2:08Speaker 7: and normally I would always pull for the American team
- 2:11Speaker 7: is because it's all Americans.
- 2:13Speaker 6: That's true.
- 2:15Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why they're all Americans.
- 2:17Speaker 6: But I'm glad the guy who hit three home runs
- 2:19Speaker 6: has a very Italian name.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Yes, they have.
- 2:22Speaker 7: Names, but they're American. I want to know how many
- 2:25Speaker 7: of those guys on that team, Moser are real At
- 2:27Speaker 7: times I can speak the language two.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Very fee you probably okay, but but hey, all have names.
- 2:36Speaker 6: But hang on, what a breath of fresh air last night?
- 2:40Speaker 6: You think God you needed one like that? And I'll
- 2:43Speaker 6: tell you what if they lost that game? Yesterday. It
- 2:48Speaker 6: could have sent me into a tailspin. It really could have.
- 2:50Speaker 6: And to win that way is just like, Okay, I
- 2:53Speaker 6: can breathe again. It's you and three other teams, You, Minnesota, Houston,
- 2:59Speaker 6: and a Laker, all tied with forty wins. Now on
- 3:02Speaker 6: the year, you very easily could get back to a
- 3:05Speaker 6: three seed. But it was the way in which they won.
- 3:10Speaker 6: It was the way. And I'll tell you this. I
- 3:15Speaker 6: know that there's a whole bunch of different things you
- 3:17Speaker 6: could point to last night that you love the most.
- 3:21Speaker 6: What a difference a confident Cam Johnson and Christian Brown
- 3:24Speaker 6: are What a difference that is?
- 3:26Speaker 7: Difference in the game, yep, difference in the attitude, difference
- 3:30Speaker 7: in everything, the confidence level of both of those players.
- 3:32Speaker 7: You could see that that Christian was shooting the ball
- 3:36Speaker 7: with confidence and Cam was moving the ball with confidence.
- 3:41Speaker 7: Just his mannerism, yep, everything about that game.
- 3:44Speaker 6: He went to the rim, he was aggressive that way.
- 3:46Speaker 7: Cam Johnson had seventeen, Christian Brown had nineteen. But it's
- 3:50Speaker 7: the way they were moving the activity. If you get
- 3:53Speaker 7: those guys playing that way, all right, we got something
- 3:58Speaker 7: because the other guys, you know, the Nuggets blew out
- 4:01Speaker 7: the Houston Rockets in a game moje in which Aaron
- 4:04Speaker 7: Gordon scored as many points as you did.
- 4:08Speaker 3: There was a three pointer by Cam in the corner
- 4:11Speaker 3: to him and he knocked it down in stride vic
- 4:14Speaker 3: and rhythm, and I'm going, man, that that looks good
- 4:18Speaker 3: and that's what we were hoping when the deal went down.
- 4:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna preface this also this morning by saying this,
- 4:25Speaker 3: I'm hooked up. Everything's cool. If I'm a little bit delayed,
- 4:29Speaker 3: I want to apologize in advance. You're fine, You're fine.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I'm doing some great best I can. Okay, I'm just
- 4:39Speaker 3: I'm just, you know, preemptive strike here on the.
- 4:42Speaker 6: On the you're fine, you're fine.
- 4:44Speaker 7: Well, I mean, if you really wanted to send that message,
- 4:46Speaker 7: you shouldn't have started the show by singing. I mean, honestly,
- 4:50Speaker 7: I mean maybe a little little interior voice. Don't start
- 4:53Speaker 7: the show by singing.
- 4:55Speaker 8: Let's have a Oh that's a good point. Let's have
- 4:57Speaker 8: a code word.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Okay, Like, if I get a little bit delayed because
- 5:00Speaker 3: I'm way up here in Seattle and you know this
- 5:03Speaker 3: place is like a bunker, shut up. Let's have a
- 5:05Speaker 3: code word that only us will know. All right, that
- 5:08Speaker 3: the listeners won't know you say the code word because
- 5:11Speaker 3: you're okay, well, no, that that could come up anyway,
- 5:17Speaker 3: and then that wouldn't be the code word. I mean
- 5:19Speaker 3: that just might like porpoise or fish market.
- 5:21Speaker 6: You're fine, You're fine, then you're fine.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Okay, just give me a code word and then when
- 5:26Speaker 3: you say it, I'll reset.
- 5:29Speaker 6: It's a spray bottle, that's what. It's a spray bottle
- 5:31Speaker 6: to the dollar bot.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Hey, but listen, open vic in all honesty, that that
- 5:37Speaker 3: that three in the corner, he just I mean he
- 5:39Speaker 3: was wide open, but he just pull him and I'm like, God,
- 5:42Speaker 3: he looks like he feels good.
- 5:43Speaker 8: And that that was it. That was just a terrific feeling.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Last year.
- 5:46Speaker 6: You had a little bit everything. You had a great
- 5:48Speaker 6: defensive performance, you had, you closed out the game. And
- 5:52Speaker 6: I remind people, closing out the game doesn't mean what
- 5:54Speaker 6: you do always in the last three minutes. It's we
- 5:57Speaker 6: gotta lead big one heading into the fourth. Let's not
- 6:01Speaker 6: put our starters back in. That's closing out a game.
- 6:03Speaker 6: And they did that last night. They held Kevin Durant
- 6:07Speaker 6: to a season low eleven points last night.
- 6:09Speaker 7: Not only that, Durant. Over his career, he's played over
- 6:12Speaker 7: fifty five games against the Nuggets. He has averaged twenty
- 6:16Speaker 7: eight and a half points against Denver, I mean, close
- 6:18Speaker 7: to thirty points last night, the lowest of his career.
- 6:21Speaker 7: Eleven And that's because they suffocated him. They doubled him,
- 6:24Speaker 7: they blitzed him, they wouldn't let him shoot. And to
- 6:26Speaker 7: be frank with you, Houston is not that good a
- 6:29Speaker 7: shooting team.
- 6:30Speaker 6: They're horrible.
- 6:31Speaker 7: There was no one else to turn to on that team.
- 6:33Speaker 6: Yeah, uh, it's funny make you say he's lit up
- 6:37Speaker 6: the Nuggets. He averages twenty eight points a game. He
- 6:40Speaker 6: averages twenty seven for his career. It's just kind of
- 6:42Speaker 6: what he does to everybody. But to hold him to
- 6:45Speaker 6: eleven points suffocating defense. Adaman on CB's defense on him yesterday.
- 6:50Speaker 5: And I just thought CB just was in his aerospace
- 6:52Speaker 5: throughout and then he used his teammates behind him, And
- 6:54Speaker 5: I think we all need to take a breath and
- 6:56Speaker 5: realize who CEB's been Garden this week. He's been incredible,
- 7:00Speaker 5: fact his effort level. These are all star players, Hall
- 7:03Speaker 5: of Fame players. They're gonna score They're really I mean,
- 7:06Speaker 5: they're all great players, but his overall effort and just
- 7:09Speaker 5: attention to detail, not to mention the night, the nineteen
- 7:11Speaker 5: points in the three threes, and again being our rim runner.
- 7:15Speaker 5: He was incredible to night getting on the rim. So
- 7:17Speaker 5: just an overall great game by him offensively and defensive.
- 7:20Speaker 6: That thing the activity last night, Vick, we talked about
- 7:23Speaker 6: this most. We talked about this. It feels too often
- 7:28Speaker 6: that the Nuggets have these moments in which they're just
- 7:31Speaker 6: watching Jokic with the basketball and there's not people cutting,
- 7:35Speaker 6: there's not people moving to the rim, there's no action
- 7:37Speaker 6: around him. Last night, there was guys moving everywhere, Like
- 7:41Speaker 6: that's what you need to see. Cam Johnson cutting to
- 7:43Speaker 6: the hoop, Christian Brown cutting to the hoop. Those backdoor
- 7:46Speaker 6: cuts that used to be a staple in this offense
- 7:48Speaker 6: haven't seen it for a while. They were there last night.
- 7:50Speaker 7: Well, not just that fast break points running the court.
- 7:54Speaker 7: How many times did CB benefit from a fly route
- 7:57Speaker 7: from Nikola Jokics Just get down the court. That's what
- 7:59Speaker 7: got paid last Yeah, when you know, you know last year.
- 8:02Speaker 7: The biggest difference in the Nuggets this year and last
- 8:06Speaker 7: from an offensive perspective, because it's still an elite offense.
- 8:10Speaker 7: Last year they dominated the paint. They were dominant in
- 8:13Speaker 7: the paint this year not so much. And a big
- 8:15Speaker 7: reason why is because they're not running as much. They're
- 8:19Speaker 7: not fast break points.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Yeah, yep, totally agreeing.
- 8:25Speaker 3: It just seems to me, Brett, when when the legs
- 8:29Speaker 3: are engaged for the Denver Nuggets, you're the cutting the
- 8:33Speaker 3: effort that when the legs are truly engaged, everything else
- 8:37Speaker 3: engages and that's the outcome. You see. That was a
- 8:41Speaker 3: needed win in more ways than one. And you mentioned
- 8:43Speaker 3: it not just that you want and not I mean,
- 8:45Speaker 3: I didn't need a blowout win, but that's what it was.
- 8:48Speaker 3: But it's just the way that they behaved from the
- 8:51Speaker 3: start of the game all the way through the game.
- 8:54Speaker 3: That's the way it's supposed to look. And that may
- 8:56Speaker 3: that's what makes me feel good. So it makes me
- 8:58Speaker 3: feel better. Now you've got a blueprint here, Vic that
- 9:01Speaker 3: you can cut and paste, hopefully down the way. I'm
- 9:05Speaker 3: not saying they're gonna do it tonight. That's a pain
- 9:07Speaker 3: in the butt game in San Antonio, but you see
- 9:09Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Now, they've got a blueprint to go
- 9:11Speaker 3: to that they can rely upon.
- 9:14Speaker 7: Above and beyond blueprints. There are sixteen games to play
- 9:17Speaker 7: for the Nuggets in this NBA season, and now you
- 9:20Speaker 7: start looking at the standings, you start doing scoreboard watching.
- 9:23Speaker 7: I know I am last night that victory was big
- 9:27Speaker 7: because first of all, you gain a game, you also
- 9:31Speaker 7: win the tiebreaker against Houston, and I'm telling you right
- 9:34Speaker 7: now there are gonna be some teams tied at the
- 9:36Speaker 7: end of the season. You also own the tiebreaker currently
- 9:39Speaker 7: against Minnesota. Well, guess what Minnesota lost last night. They
- 9:43Speaker 7: got throttled by the Clippers, rushed, and they have the
- 9:46Speaker 7: same record as the Nuggets. By virtue of the tiebreaker,
- 9:49Speaker 7: they're behind the Nuggets. So Denver moves up to the
- 9:51Speaker 7: five seat. If you can win in La on Saturday,
- 9:55Speaker 7: huge game, you win the tiebreaker in that series. You
- 9:58Speaker 7: would own the tiebreaker essentially against the three teams. You
- 10:01Speaker 7: have it against Phoenix as well, four teams, three teams
- 10:04Speaker 7: that you're battling for seating in this West, So big wins.
- 10:09Speaker 7: Down the stretch, scoreboard watching is taking place, and tonight
- 10:14Speaker 7: in San Antonio, I can't tell you how screwed the
- 10:17Speaker 7: Nuggets got by the schedule. They left last night after midnight,
- 10:21Speaker 7: probably got into San Antonio. Let's see one o'clock. Crazy
- 10:24Speaker 7: they got into San Antonio, I would gather.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they probably three thirty four am.
- 10:30Speaker 7: Is when they got to bed in San Antonio and
- 10:32Speaker 7: they play at seven o'clock San Antonio six Denver time.
- 10:37Speaker 6: How is that even allowed?
- 10:38Speaker 3: Stupid?
- 10:41Speaker 6: And I guess nobody could have forecasted how good San
- 10:44Speaker 6: Antonio was gonna be this year. But still, Nuggets typically
- 10:48Speaker 6: good on back to backs. This one is stupid, hillatious,
- 10:52Speaker 6: like stupid. It's tough, but man, think about it, even
- 10:58Speaker 6: if they don't get the win tonight, if they get
- 11:00Speaker 6: the win Saturday against the Lakers, which, as you pointed out, Vic,
- 11:05Speaker 6: you'd own the tiebreaker against him. If you get that one,
- 11:10Speaker 6: it would be a nice little on ramp to win.
- 11:12Speaker 6: The schedule really eases up if you look up, if
- 11:15Speaker 6: you look at the schedule that's left for him after
- 11:18Speaker 6: the Lakers game on Saturday, you tell me the toughest
- 11:21Speaker 6: game here, because there's one that sticks out above all else.
- 11:24Speaker 6: But I'm just rapid fire, real quick. It's Philly, Memphis, Toronto, Portland, Phoenix, Dallas, Utah,
- 11:31Speaker 6: Golden State, Utah, San Antonio, Portland, Memphis, then the last
- 11:35Speaker 6: two games, okay, see san Antonio, they might be folding
- 11:39Speaker 6: up shot by then, Like the one san Antonio game
- 11:42Speaker 6: on on the fourth is your toughest one. But after that,
- 11:46Speaker 6: what is it? Golden State Phoenix like they don't got
- 11:50Speaker 6: a lot left you could eat.
- 11:52Speaker 3: No, you have a chance to You have a chance
- 11:54Speaker 3: to really put some things together here before the end
- 11:57Speaker 3: of the regular season. String some wins together, make up
- 12:01Speaker 3: some ground, and feel good, go to the playoffs. That's
- 12:03Speaker 3: what you have a chance to do. We'll do it.
- 12:06Speaker 7: You guys gotta you know, be careful about what you
- 12:08Speaker 7: think is going to be an easy game, because there
- 12:11Speaker 7: are a lot of things in consideration. Towards the end
- 12:13Speaker 7: of a season, you just don't know what teams are
- 12:16Speaker 7: playing for. For example, it's it's it's not san Antonio,
- 12:20Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna do it.
- 12:22Speaker 6: You don't try your cap.
- 12:30Speaker 3: How's that?
- 12:31Speaker 7: For example, Portland is a game that you look at
- 12:34Speaker 7: and say, how how viable is that game? Portland's gonna
- 12:38Speaker 7: be playing for something. They got playing seating, all right,
- 12:41Speaker 7: they're playing for some Golden State still playing for something.
- 12:45Speaker 7: Phoenix is playing for something. So don't think these teams
- 12:49Speaker 7: are playing for nothing.
- 12:50Speaker 6: I understand, but there's something. Golden State and Portland are
- 12:52Speaker 6: sub five hundred teams. It's not Oklahoma understood, understood, but they're.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Playing for something. You you know, we're not. We're not
- 12:59Speaker 7: just we're not ejecting these games as if they don't
- 13:02Speaker 7: matter for those teams.
- 13:04Speaker 3: They do.
- 13:05Speaker 7: They made her a ton and that's all I'm saying. Yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 7: sixteen games to go, you are in no position right now,
- 13:11Speaker 7: the Nuggets, in no position to assume you're gonna beat teams.
- 13:16Speaker 6: No, no, But it's just all I'm pointing out. It's
- 13:19Speaker 6: not this murderer's row of the last two weeks that
- 13:22Speaker 6: you've been on so far.
- 13:23Speaker 7: That's of course. Yeah. But again tonight with Wemby, he
- 13:28Speaker 7: is questionable. He's got a sore knee. They're still very
- 13:31Speaker 7: good without him. They're ten and four without Wemby this season.
- 13:34Speaker 7: By the way, I'm gonna ask you guys a question.
- 13:37Speaker 7: Aaron Gordon played twenty two minutes last night. He didn't score.
- 13:40Speaker 7: It didn't have to didn't have to play much. Do
- 13:43Speaker 7: you even dare trot him out there tonight on the
- 13:45Speaker 7: second game of the back to.
- 13:46Speaker 6: Back, especially not the though it'd be one thing if
- 13:53Speaker 6: they played at five o'clock, got on the plane at
- 13:57Speaker 6: you know, nine thirty, got in at midnight something like that.
- 14:01Speaker 6: I'm not doing it. When you're getting in the hotel
- 14:03Speaker 6: getting in bed at four thirty in the morning, I'm
- 14:05Speaker 6: not doing that.
- 14:06Speaker 3: No, okay, just go full full dolphin, VICI you know
- 14:09Speaker 3: what full dolphin is.
- 14:14Speaker 7: Nope, So just saving for the Lakers game.
- 14:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I look, if we're just if you're playing the
- 14:21Speaker 6: odds here too, the odds of you beating a San
- 14:25Speaker 6: Antonio team that just doesn't lose anymore to start with,
- 14:28Speaker 6: but also given what you're facing tonight, you probably aren't
- 14:32Speaker 6: a great place to say, yeah, I got a good
- 14:34Speaker 6: shot to win, right. So I'm not saying you toss
- 14:38Speaker 6: this game to the side, But I am saying, like,
- 14:41Speaker 6: if we're playing the odds here, on which game should
- 14:43Speaker 6: you be wise with? With Aaron Gordon? This is absolutely
- 14:46Speaker 6: when I'm like, no, thank you, not doing it. It
- 14:49Speaker 6: is a Nuggets ticket Thursday, keywords on the twenties of

- 15:31Speaker 6: Yep.
- 15:33Speaker 3: How awkward is this whole Max Crosby thing? Theary for everybody?
- 15:41Speaker 3: You recall what Sean Payton did after Max Crosby got
- 15:45Speaker 3: traded to the Baltimore Ravens.
- 15:47Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he called uh, Jay Glazer the bottle
- 15:51Speaker 6: of cherkinsexphone, right.
- 15:56Speaker 8: I'm always comping.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Hawk calls Jake Lady. He fired up the Raiders for
- 16:03Speaker 3: the Max Crosby texted Crosby saying he's gonna pay for
- 16:06Speaker 3: the private one way flight to Baltimore. And then you're like, oh, okay,
- 16:12Speaker 3: and Crosby says, well, I'm a raider. Now he's committed.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I'm a raider. I'm back. Whatever you know, did that
- 16:19Speaker 3: happen on ours by what.
- 16:22Speaker 7: The Crosby not going there? Now we know that was
- 16:26Speaker 7: after our show.
- 16:27Speaker 6: That was that was after no Hendrickson got signed during
- 16:31Speaker 6: the show, not the trade.
- 16:35Speaker 3: But it's awkward for Sean Payton too, telling the raider
- 16:38Speaker 3: or telling Crosby, yeah you're gone and all this kind
- 16:40Speaker 3: of thing and now ah, you're back inside the division.
- 16:43Speaker 3: That that feels a little weird. I guess we'll talk
- 16:45Speaker 3: to Leggy about it. Come up here in about an hour.
- 16:47Speaker 7: You know, I can't wait to talk to Leggy because
- 16:49Speaker 7: free agencies three days basically when the new league start,
- 16:52Speaker 7: New year league starts. Everything now is okay? I I
- 16:56Speaker 7: I did not anticipate the Broncos completely avoiding free agents.
- 17:00Speaker 6: I'm pissed.
- 17:01Speaker 3: I mean they I was the.
- 17:03Speaker 7: One telling you guys to calm down. They'll be fine,
- 17:06Speaker 7: calm down. At this point, I'm looking at them going, hello,
- 17:10Speaker 7: you know that meme or a stick? Yeah, hit the person,
- 17:13Speaker 7: do something.
- 17:14Speaker 6: Yeah. See, here's the problem that there's like not really
- 17:20Speaker 6: anything left here. You know, there there are I guess
- 17:25Speaker 6: risky cases, trade opportunities, trade opportunities. I get like Tyreek
- 17:31Speaker 6: Hill is still out there. I suppose if you're interested
- 17:34Speaker 6: in that, Like, there's just not a lot of options
- 17:37Speaker 6: free agency wise, And I think it's totally fair to
- 17:43Speaker 6: be upset or have a level of impatience about this.
- 17:49Speaker 6: The only thing that's happened for the Broncos since this
- 17:52Speaker 6: new league year has started is they've lost players on
- 17:55Speaker 6: their roster. That's it. They brought in nobody knew, not
- 17:57Speaker 6: a depth piece, not a backup lineman, nothing.
- 18:01Speaker 7: So they've lost jfm PJ Locke, two guys that made
- 18:05Speaker 7: critical plays, right, Dre green Law, Dra green Law who's cut.
- 18:10Speaker 6: There was a couple others.
- 18:12Speaker 3: You know.
- 18:13Speaker 6: I'll give you an example, though, Vick, of where like,
- 18:16Speaker 6: what really makes me nervous? And again, they can announce
- 18:19Speaker 6: a Wattle trade in five minutes and all this could
- 18:21Speaker 6: be for not right, Like then he could be like, Oh,
- 18:23Speaker 6: there's your big move. One area that really has bothered
- 18:29Speaker 6: me that you looked at kind of three different spots
- 18:34Speaker 6: on this team to thinking to yourself, if you could
- 18:36Speaker 6: improve maybe two of these three, you'd be in good shape.
- 18:40Speaker 6: And you focused on the running back all off season. Vick,
- 18:43Speaker 6: I don't disagree with you. They've made the decision, at
- 18:45Speaker 6: least for now that they're gonna run it back with
- 18:47Speaker 6: that room in JK Dobbins ever long JK stays healthy, and.
- 18:51Speaker 7: They're gonna run it back. It looks like with the
- 18:52Speaker 7: tight end room too, because all the tight ends have
- 18:54Speaker 7: been resigned.
- 18:55Speaker 6: That's the one that kills me. That's the one that
- 18:57Speaker 6: makes no sense. It's like, you did it and get
- 19:01Speaker 6: any significant production out of that room. I don't care
- 19:04Speaker 6: what the box score says or what the season stats
- 19:06Speaker 6: are for Evan Ingram. None of it was significant. And
- 19:10Speaker 6: it's not just that Vic, It's and Troutman and Nate
- 19:16Speaker 6: Atkins and Lucas Kroll and Adam Prentice. I'm like, how
- 19:21Speaker 6: many of the same guy are we gonna have in
- 19:23Speaker 6: this offense to.
- 19:23Speaker 7: Find a god damn joker most At some point you
- 19:26Speaker 7: start asking and listen again, this is not a panic
- 19:30Speaker 7: move by any means, but it's a legit question. Are
- 19:34Speaker 7: you watching the same game we're watching?
- 19:39Speaker 6: Like offensively especially Yeah? Like, are you seeing the same
- 19:42Speaker 6: offense that we're saying right now?
- 19:44Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, I guess The point is the only deciding
- 19:47Speaker 3: X factor at this point is Davis Webb and is
- 19:52Speaker 3: he going to make that big of a difference? Can
- 19:54Speaker 3: he turn. Listen, the Broncos weren't chicken blank you know.
- 19:58Speaker 3: I mean they were pretty good offense, but the black.
- 20:02Speaker 6: Man, No, they weren't. I'll push back on that. Most
- 20:05Speaker 6: they weren't pretty good. They weren't. They were bad.
- 20:07Speaker 3: So wait a minute, So one a second bad to
- 20:11Speaker 3: me would be bad to me, would be ranked twenty
- 20:13Speaker 3: seventh in the league. That would be bad. Okay, they
- 20:16Speaker 3: weren't that. Okay?
- 20:19Speaker 6: Can you how about this?
- 20:20Speaker 3: No?
- 20:20Speaker 7: No, no, wait, wait, you mean to tell me that
- 20:22Speaker 7: the Broncos hopes and dreams and ambitions to improve their offense.
- 20:26Speaker 7: Rest on and listen. I think Davis Sweb can be fantastic.
- 20:30Speaker 7: He's never done it. And now you're taking that job
- 20:33Speaker 7: away from a guy who's done it his entire career,
- 20:36Speaker 7: giving it to a guy who's never done it. And
- 20:37Speaker 7: you're telling me take the same guys bringing back give
- 20:40Speaker 7: it to a guy who's never done it. While I
- 20:42Speaker 7: you're fixed, Come on, David, I can, I can?
- 20:45Speaker 8: I completely agree with you.
- 20:46Speaker 3: My point is that that's all we have to hang
- 20:48Speaker 3: our hats on right now. Is that? Okay? That you know?
- 20:52Speaker 3: With overall Brett, let me see total yards the Broncos
- 20:55Speaker 3: were one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight. They
- 20:58Speaker 3: were tenth in the league in total total yard.
- 21:00Speaker 7: Hang on the most.
- 21:01Speaker 8: Okay, okay, go ahead, Yeah, but the point.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Is this, The point is maybe he can make something
- 21:06Speaker 3: more dynamic out of that. That's that's all. But I'm
- 21:09Speaker 3: not saying I believe that. I'm saying that's all we
- 21:11Speaker 3: have to go on. Right now.
- 21:12Speaker 6: Here's what I'm gonna tell you. All of the numbers
- 21:15Speaker 6: surrounding the Broncos offense, for the most part, are totally screwed,
- 21:20Speaker 6: Like they're screwy. Tenth in total yards. They wouldn't move
- 21:25Speaker 6: the ball for three quarters and then move it for
- 21:26Speaker 6: two hundred and the fourth.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Like.
- 21:27Speaker 6: That's not a real offense. That's not something that you
- 21:30Speaker 6: can rely upon every single week. And they did it
- 21:32Speaker 6: last year. Credit to them. If they're thinking that's gonna
- 21:35Speaker 6: happen again this year, I highly doubt it. Davis Webb
- 21:40Speaker 6: doesn't make Adam Troutman faster. He doesn't do that. He
- 21:44Speaker 6: might find ways to get guys maybe a little bit
- 21:46Speaker 6: more open. Maybe, like we don't even know, I don't
- 21:48Speaker 6: even we don't even know if he's a good play caller.
- 21:50Speaker 6: He's never done it. That's why I want the fallback
- 21:55Speaker 6: option of why do you think this offense is better?
- 21:58Speaker 6: Because I know this guy that brought in is really good.
- 22:01Speaker 6: That's what I wanted to say. I just wanted to
- 22:02Speaker 6: point to somebody and be like, oh, well, why are
- 22:05Speaker 6: they better Because they made a trade for Jayalen Waddell
- 22:09Speaker 6: and I've seen him play, and that guy can play.
- 22:11Speaker 6: That's why, because that's reliable, and people are saying, well,
- 22:13Speaker 6: if they still have the draft, maybe they do something there.
- 22:16Speaker 6: It's the same problem I have of I don't know
- 22:19Speaker 6: if that guy's gonna be good or not.
- 22:21Speaker 7: So the Broncos haven't done anything free agency wise. They
- 22:24Speaker 7: haven't added anybody. I don't think Seattle has has Seattle
- 22:27Speaker 7: in the last day settle.
- 22:29Speaker 6: I think Seattle and the Jags are two other teams
- 22:32Speaker 6: that have not brought in any external help yet.
- 22:34Speaker 8: Well, yeah, they just wanted dating Super Bowl though.
- 22:36Speaker 6: Wait a minute, I think the Jags just changed that.
- 22:38Speaker 6: They signed Chris Rodriguez.
- 22:40Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they're running back from Washington. Yeah, yeah, who
- 22:43Speaker 7: I liked. He's the guy that he runs hard man,
- 22:46Speaker 7: big physical back.
- 22:48Speaker 6: I think they just signed him though, you think.
- 22:52Speaker 7: Yeah, I I am, you know, I'm gonna throw my
- 22:55Speaker 7: hands up. I don't know what this is. I don't
- 22:57Speaker 7: know what they're doing. I know what they're doing obviously,
- 23:01Speaker 7: but I don't know what they're doing, Nor do you.
- 23:04Speaker 7: They have a plan. I'm sure they sat there with
- 23:07Speaker 7: the plan and said, here's our plan.
- 23:11Speaker 6: How about this? Did they either it's one of two things.
- 23:16Speaker 6: Did they not identify anybody that they truly liked enough
- 23:20Speaker 6: and that's why they're here, or did they try and
- 23:22Speaker 6: get people and they missed?
- 23:24Speaker 7: Did they get see It would be hard for me
- 23:26Speaker 7: to believe that they got out bid me, because they've
- 23:30Speaker 7: got the money to spend, so I think it's just
- 23:33Speaker 7: part of the plan. I don't think they.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Got out bid.
- 23:36Speaker 7: I'd be shocked if they got out bid on particular
- 23:39Speaker 7: offensive players. No, I refuse to believe that it's just
- 23:43Speaker 7: what they haven't This is what they planned.
- 23:45Speaker 6: I'm gonna go back to something that I've said with
- 23:50Speaker 6: two other teams in this town when I have been
- 23:53Speaker 6: questionable on their approaches. George Payton has my trust. I
- 23:58Speaker 6: think he's very very good at what he does. I
- 24:00Speaker 6: have no idea what's going on here, though, no.
- 24:03Speaker 7: Idea are they are they required to tell you, because
- 24:07Speaker 7: if they tell you some strategical no, no, I'm just
- 24:11Speaker 7: asking out loud. This is a rhetorical question. Is a hey,
- 24:15Speaker 7: we don't want to show you our hand type.
- 24:17Speaker 6: Well, they've certainly done that with trades, and that's what
- 24:20Speaker 6: I'm kind of holding out hope for. Like when the
- 24:22Speaker 6: broadcasts big a trade for somebody, it don't you don't
- 24:25Speaker 6: hear anything about it beforehand, just like boom, there it is.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Listen. They clearly went to the salad bar and looked
- 24:32Speaker 3: at it and go, you know what, nothing here looks good.
- 24:35Speaker 3: You know, I'm just gonna go home and cook, right.
- 24:37Speaker 3: I mean, they that's and it's hard to blame them.
- 24:40Speaker 3: When I was going through that list of free agent
- 24:42Speaker 3: running backs, I mean a couple of guys were like,
- 24:44Speaker 3: oh yeah, okay, great. But as you said, Brett, I mean,
- 24:48Speaker 3: the free agent market overall wasn't necessarily that appetizing, you
- 24:54Speaker 3: know what I mean. I'm not sure you really wanted
- 24:57Speaker 3: to go and fully dip your toes in that water,
- 24:59Speaker 3: beca cause it just didn't look that good. It really
- 25:03Speaker 3: didn't to me anyway. I Mean there's some guys that
- 25:05Speaker 3: you think, oh yeah, I would like to have that guy,
- 25:07Speaker 3: but not like I'm gonna pay up to get that guy.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Like you wouldn't give Alec Pierce the kind of money
- 25:12Speaker 3: that the Colts gave him to resign, would you.
- 25:15Speaker 6: No, But there's plenty of guys that I would have
- 25:17Speaker 6: given the contracts too, Like I thought, somebody like, look,
- 25:22Speaker 6: if you're just looking for new blood somewhere, a guy
- 25:26Speaker 6: like Isaiah likely is not somebody that's outside your price range.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Tyler Algiers, not outside your price range, you know what
- 25:32Speaker 6: I mean? Those are two guys that I think could
- 25:34Speaker 6: have helped your offense. That maybe they aren't like, oh
- 25:37Speaker 6: my god, signings, but they could have helped something as
- 25:39Speaker 6: opposed to, Hey, here's another three years of Adam Troutman
- 25:43Speaker 6: and uh, we'll throw Lucas Croll in there, and Nate Adkins.
- 25:46Speaker 6: Adam Prentiss, the autumn guy from Tampa.
- 25:49Speaker 7: I don't know much about him. I'll be totally honest
- 25:51Speaker 7: with you, but the money that Tampa gave Taunt and
- 25:55Speaker 7: rather than resigned to your tight ends, Yeah, do you
- 25:58Speaker 7: fit the ville?
- 25:59Speaker 6: Yes, exactly right. And that's sort of what I'm getting at, Like,
- 26:03Speaker 6: you can't tell me there's not a single guy that
- 26:07Speaker 6: was on this free agent market that the Broncos weren't Like, yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 6: I'd take him on my team, you know, for again,
- 26:13Speaker 6: like Kate Aughton. By the way, Kate Aughton had fifty
- 26:16Speaker 6: nine catches for five hundred and seventy two yards and
- 26:18Speaker 6: a touchdown last year. Is that amazing? No, But if
- 26:21Speaker 6: you want your two way tight end, fifty nine catches
- 26:25Speaker 6: is two way.
- 26:27Speaker 3: You know what.
- 26:27Speaker 7: I'm getting a little bit too much of the feeling of, well,
- 26:31Speaker 7: we can coach him up.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:33Speaker 7: I hate I'm getting a little too much of that
- 26:35Speaker 7: right now, that will coach him up feeling, because at
- 26:37Speaker 7: the end of the day, players win. Coaching matters. I'm
- 26:41Speaker 7: not saying coach he doesn't matter. Of course, it matters.
- 26:43Speaker 7: Play calling matters, But at the end of the day,
- 26:45Speaker 7: players play. Players win, and I'm getting that sense that
- 26:49Speaker 7: we'll coach them up here.
- 26:52Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you, I might have some sort
- 26:55Speaker 6: of PTSD on this too. I watched the Nuggets for
- 27:03Speaker 6: years and Yokich's prime, try and do that. Hey, we
- 27:08Speaker 6: don't need outside help. We'll develop Hunter Tyson. And it's like,
- 27:12Speaker 6: how about you just get a guy who can play?
- 27:14Speaker 6: Can we just do that. Can we just get a
- 27:16Speaker 6: guy who can play instead of waiting and seeing and
- 27:19Speaker 6: hoping and crossing our fingers that this guy eventually get there.
- 27:21Speaker 6: Don't worry, guys, helps on the horizon, you want guard play?
- 27:24Speaker 6: Give me three years with Jalen Pickett. Can you just
- 27:27Speaker 6: give me a point guard? Can I just have a
- 27:28Speaker 6: guy that's ready to play right now? Why am I
- 27:30Speaker 6: waiting for this? We're in the window. Give me a
- 27:33Speaker 6: proven player. And that's what makes me nervous about Hey,
- 27:37Speaker 6: don't worry, guys, We'll find it in the draft.
- 27:40Speaker 7: Hey, daddy, I want your golden goose.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm vukas salt I am. I want it right
- 27:45Speaker 6: now now.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Oh she was I'll tell you what that verruka dude?
- 27:50Speaker 3: Oh is she a pain in the tail? I'm telling
- 27:53Speaker 3: you right now.
- 27:53Speaker 7: But you know, I love Sean Payne and what he's
- 27:57Speaker 7: brought to this culture. He's changed the culture and the
- 27:59Speaker 7: dynamics of the franchise. But he is that sort of
- 28:02Speaker 7: coach him up type of personality, right, yeah'll coach him up.
- 28:05Speaker 6: I think that's why they've been so passive on the
- 28:07Speaker 6: skill position.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Guys.
- 28:09Speaker 6: I've said this forever. Sean Payton strikes me as somebody
- 28:11Speaker 6: because he did this in New Orleans. To a certain extent,
- 28:14Speaker 6: they didn't have any super ball out wide outs in
- 28:18Speaker 6: New Orleans. They had guys who were good. Marcius Coulson
- 28:21Speaker 6: was good, Michael Thomas was good. But I think he
- 28:27Speaker 6: was just like, hey, run my place. I'm a genius
- 28:30Speaker 6: and if you do then it works.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, and when you have a Hall of Fame quarterback,
- 28:35Speaker 3: it works and that Okay? Are we forgetting about the
- 28:39Speaker 3: Hall of Fame quarterback? I mean, the guy's total stud
- 28:43Speaker 3: hang on, makes everybody around him better, can make every throw,
- 28:46Speaker 3: do everything.
- 28:48Speaker 6: But mos I think if you ask Sean Payton, he
- 28:52Speaker 6: would say he had an equal hand in why that
- 28:55Speaker 6: was good. That's that's why I say it. I'm not
- 28:56Speaker 6: just saying Sean Payton, It's it's his mentality. You don't
- 29:00Speaker 6: think that Sean Payton thought to himself, was Drew Brees
- 29:02Speaker 6: that good before he met me?
- 29:05Speaker 3: Hey? No? But but but at the same time, I'm
- 29:09Speaker 3: not going to downplay Vic how good Whopries was as
- 29:12Speaker 3: a quarterback.
- 29:13Speaker 7: I'm not gonna course, all right, does this perhaps change
- 29:17Speaker 7: your expectations?
- 29:19Speaker 3: Uh? Today?
- 29:21Speaker 7: NFL teams listing the players they have to designate post
- 29:25Speaker 7: June one release. The Broncos did it with Drake Greenlaw,
- 29:29Speaker 7: Cardinals did it with Kyler Murray, Dolphins and Tua Cleveland
- 29:34Speaker 7: Browns have released David and Juku and Joko. I'm gonna
- 29:37Speaker 7: call him in Juku.
- 29:40Speaker 6: So what you want a seventh tight end in here?
- 29:42Speaker 3: Well?
- 29:43Speaker 7: Remember no No, you brought him up. I love no,
- 29:46Speaker 7: I love in jokes, you brought him up. I want
- 29:48Speaker 7: a guy who can help your team. What's wrong with
- 29:51Speaker 7: bringing him in and may the best man win?
- 29:54Speaker 6: That's fine. I everything that I've seen from what they've
- 30:00Speaker 6: done this offseason so far tells me they aren't bringing
- 30:02Speaker 6: in the tight end though, Okay, Like I would love to,
- 30:06Speaker 6: if you're asking me, yes, I think he would be
- 30:09Speaker 6: a giant upgrade over what they currently have. But they
- 30:12Speaker 6: just signed back like four different guys, and I so,
- 30:18Speaker 6: what you sign him and cut Ingram? I guess maybe
- 30:20Speaker 6: maybe I'd take it. I would totally take it, but
- 30:24Speaker 6: I just I don't. I'm seeing all of the directions
- 30:27Speaker 6: they're going in by resigning everybody that was there last year,
- 30:30Speaker 6: and I'm like, Okay.
- 30:30Speaker 7: What time is Leggy joining us? He's at eight twenty Okay,
- 30:37Speaker 7: because I heard Leggae on earlier this year twenty he
- 30:39Speaker 7: had some numbers that were unreal. The tells that the
- 30:42Speaker 7: Broncos offense give opposing teams when they have Adam Trautman
- 30:46Speaker 7: in the game versus Evan Ingram in the game and
- 30:49Speaker 7: basically telling the opposition what they're going to do, run
- 30:52Speaker 7: or pass, so until they and they're they're fine with that.
- 30:56Speaker 7: Apparently they're very comfortable with that.
- 30:59Speaker 6: The tell.
- 31:01Speaker 7: You need a tight end that doesn't give you a tell.
- 31:03Speaker 6: Adam Troutman played a ton of snaps last year, And
- 31:08Speaker 6: I mean you don't have to be a genius to
- 31:10Speaker 6: figure this out. A guy who plays a ton of
- 31:13Speaker 6: snaps for a team that has twenty catches, what do
- 31:18Speaker 6: you think he's out there to do?
- 31:19Speaker 7: Of course?
- 31:21Speaker 6: And that's my problem with Adam Trumpman is that he
- 31:25Speaker 6: says he's a two way tight end. Where's the second way?
- 31:30Speaker 6: Only see one? Where's the second? Like Kate Totten is
- 31:34Speaker 6: a two way tight end. He's a blocker and a catcher. Remember, Howie,
- 31:37Speaker 6: what I just tell you how many catches he had
- 31:39Speaker 6: last year.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Fifty nine.
- 31:41Speaker 6: You don't know what the hell they're gonna do with
- 31:42Speaker 6: him when he's on the field. That's a two way player.
- 31:47Speaker 6: And again I'm confused. So I apologize everybody if I
- 31:51Speaker 6: sound whiny about the Broncos offseason. But when you're this
- 31:54Speaker 6: close to a super Bowl and the GM tells you
- 31:57Speaker 6: we're gonna be aggressive, and through three days literally nobody
- 32:02Speaker 6: knew was in the building, I'm a little lantsy. I
- 32:06Speaker 6: want some golden goose. There's my golden Ewes, my golden goose. Ashang,
- 32:12Speaker 6: that's my golden goose. That's why I want bring me him. Uh.
- 32:17Speaker 6: Keyword for this hour reminder is Jones. So text that
- 32:21Speaker 6: in your first and last name to three zero three
- 32:23Speaker 6: five four nine two five Yes.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Vic, last text I'll read.
- 32:26Speaker 7: If you go into this vicious cycle, right, seven zero
- 32:28Speaker 7: niney five, if you go into the vicious cycle of
- 32:30Speaker 7: just adding free agency here after a year, you end
- 32:33Speaker 7: up like we did the Peyton Manning era and have
- 32:35Speaker 7: nothing left at the end. Nobody's asking the Broncos to
- 32:38Speaker 7: go crazy in the free agent bin. Nobody's saying go
- 32:41Speaker 7: out there and shop and spend all your money. We're
- 32:44Speaker 7: three days into it, nothing just one offensive impact player, right,
- 32:50Speaker 7: Nobody's saying go spend all your Christmas money here. Nobody's
- 32:54Speaker 7: asking for that. I mean, I I I'm even remember
- 32:57Speaker 7: I was the guy day one of Free Agency on
- 32:59Speaker 7: this show who told these guys to calm down because
- 33:01Speaker 7: they didn't have any Christmas presents to open and that's
- 33:03Speaker 7: why they were upset. But this is like going through
- 33:05Speaker 7: the holidays with me. Give me something.
- 33:08Speaker 6: They're gonna kill me. They're gonna kill me.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Brett.
- 33:12Speaker 8: Last thing, who is that Texter that said that's what
- 33:16Speaker 8: was the name of that?
- 33:17Speaker 7: Seven zero nine five?
- 33:19Speaker 3: Seven zero nine to five? They won a frigging super Bowl? Okay,
- 33:28Speaker 3: that is the goal. The goal is to hang on
- 33:31Speaker 3: your money, hang on to it, and then in twenty
- 33:34Speaker 3: thirty six there may be a guy. The goal is
- 33:37Speaker 3: to win a super Bowl. So if you if you
- 33:40Speaker 3: don't what the goal is.
- 33:42Speaker 7: To get one of those little rubber little coin holders
- 33:44Speaker 7: and put every single coin in that coin holder.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Yes, like, I just, I mean just really, I dig
- 33:52Speaker 3: what you're saying. Seven zero, what's whatever your number is?
- 33:56Speaker 3: I dig what you're saying. Point is you want to win, bro,
- 34:00Speaker 3: you want to win?
- 34:04Speaker 6: All right, I'm just gonna say this here say it.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Okay, Frustrated Seattle.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Just say it, vicious cycle of getting free agents every year.
- 34:15Speaker 6: Do you hear yourself? Do you hear yourself? Here's what
- 34:20Speaker 6: I said. Can I have a wide receiver? That's what
- 34:24Speaker 6: I said?
- 34:24Speaker 3: Can I?
- 34:24Speaker 6: Can I have a wide receiver?
- 34:26Speaker 3: Hey?
- 34:26Speaker 6: Man, let's take it into a vicious cycle of signing
- 34:29Speaker 6: a player in the off season. But you know how
- 34:32Speaker 6: vicious it is. Don't get too vicious by signing a
- 34:35Speaker 6: single guy outside your organization.
- 34:37Speaker 8: Let's not.
- 34:38Speaker 9: Let's not talk crazy here. That's a vicious world out there.
- 34:44Speaker 9: If free agents running all over the place. Can I
- 34:46Speaker 9: have one new guy on this roster? Dude, you're talking
- 34:49Speaker 9: crazy right now.
- 34:51Speaker 7: Not a great plan, but yeah, don't.
- 34:53Speaker 6: Be the Raiders and spend eight billion dollars in the
- 34:56Speaker 6: first day of free agency. I agree with you. Can
- 34:58Speaker 6: I have one one player to help improve an offense
- 35:02Speaker 6: that was bad?
- 35:03Speaker 7: That's it?
- 35:05Speaker 6: Hey, By the way, because if you do that, mos,
- 35:09Speaker 6: you you're gonna win a Super Bowl potentially. I mean,
- 35:14Speaker 6: that's gracious. Vicious cycle, that's that is. The cycle is
- 35:21Speaker 6: to win.
- 35:22Speaker 3: And the Broncos under the Peyton Manning era won a
- 35:25Speaker 3: Super Bowl and went to another and probably should have
- 35:28Speaker 3: gone and won another. So I don't know what you want.
- 35:32Speaker 3: I don't give a rat's rip of the copveroage bear
- 35:34Speaker 3: at the end of the Peyton Manning area. You want
- 35:35Speaker 3: a freaking super Bowl world here.
- 35:39Speaker 7: Take a take a big mouthful of that powdered creamer.
- 35:43Speaker 6: Get some creamer.
- 35:43Speaker 7: Calm you down a little bit.
- 35:45Speaker 6: Just like I hate when I say, can the Broncos
- 35:49Speaker 6: sign a guy and people are like, you need to
- 35:51Speaker 6: calm down and be patient. It's like one guy, one
- 35:56Speaker 6: key word is Jones. So text that to three others, three, five, four.
- 36:01Speaker 3: N.
- 36:04Speaker 7: No players the first team. We're gonna coach them up.
- 36:07Speaker 7: Well we have no players, yeah, but we'll coach them up.
- 36:10Speaker 3: We're not gonna draft anybody or anything. Hey, Vic, will
- 36:12Speaker 3: we come back?
- 36:13Speaker 6: You call me when Adam Trumpman has nine touchdowns this year.
- 36:16Speaker 6: Call me when that happens.
- 36:18Speaker 3: We come back. I've got a question for you regarding Vinnie,
- 36:23Speaker 3: and it's an important question.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Okay, get to it next, all right, most before you
- 36:27Speaker 6: do a thing, can I just say one more thing
- 36:28Speaker 6: real quick?
- 36:30Speaker 3: Please?
- 36:30Speaker 6: I got more coffee. I don't know if I need it,
- 36:34Speaker 6: just a simple exercise. It's another texture says you don't
- 36:38Speaker 6: you just want them to get a guy. You don't
- 36:39Speaker 6: care if he's.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Good or not.
- 36:40Speaker 6: You just want them to get somebody. Not true. I
- 36:43Speaker 6: am concerned because I feel like this team is more
- 36:46Speaker 6: comfortable with this offense than they should be. That's my concern.
- 36:51Speaker 6: That's why. And I hate to keep going back to this.
- 36:54Speaker 6: The Adam Troutman signing weirds me out six million dollars
- 36:58Speaker 6: for a player at twenty catch is last year? Okay,
- 37:02Speaker 6: And so let me just ask you a question, usually
- 37:06Speaker 6: just some playoff teams from last year. Would you take
- 37:09Speaker 6: the Broncos offense or the Seahawks? Which one?
- 37:14Speaker 3: Well, Seattle obviously Seattle.
- 37:16Speaker 6: The Broncos are the Jags?
- 37:20Speaker 3: Jags?
- 37:21Speaker 6: Broncos? Are the Patriots? Well, Patriots offense scored like twenty
- 37:28Speaker 6: nine points a game, man, like they were good? I
- 37:30Speaker 6: know the last three.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Weeks twenty three? Okay, okay, Buffalo, Why is it taking
- 37:39Speaker 3: you so long time? Yeah? Why aren't you?
- 37:40Speaker 6: Why why are you thinking of?
- 37:41Speaker 7: This is easy? This isn't physics here. My point is,
- 37:45Speaker 7: can you participate in the.
- 37:47Speaker 6: Eagles, the Rams, the Niners, the Packers, the Lions, like
- 37:50Speaker 6: all these different teams? How many can I get to?
- 37:52Speaker 6: Are you alive before people recognize the offense just isn't
- 37:56Speaker 6: very good and they need to improve. And I have
- 37:59Speaker 6: a concern that they're like, no, we're actually better than
- 38:01Speaker 6: you guys think. I'm like, I don't think so. I
- 38:03Speaker 6: think it's exactly what I'm seeing every single week. And
- 38:06Speaker 6: I'm really concerned that it's gonna lie too much on
- 38:09Speaker 6: the shoulders of bow Knicks to do everything. And I
- 38:11Speaker 6: think it's unfair to him. I think you need to
- 38:13Speaker 6: make his life easier.
- 38:15Speaker 7: Exercises with motion kidding, you've lost that privilege just.
- 38:19Speaker 6: Waiting I was like a call in response thing. I
- 38:21Speaker 6: wasn't getting responses.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Well, I was the only one responding.
- 38:25Speaker 6: That's true, because you were asked by him to respond.
- 38:29Speaker 8: Oh. I thought it was a generalistic type of open error.
- 38:34Speaker 6: So that's that's it.
- 38:36Speaker 7: I am.
- 38:36Speaker 6: I am uncomfortable because it feels to me the Broncos
- 38:41Speaker 6: believe their offense was pretty close to being fine, and
- 38:45Speaker 6: I disagree with that.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Okay, well then, but then let's let's let's get down
- 38:49Speaker 3: to the root of that. Brett is that old Sean Payton. Oh,
- 38:51Speaker 3: it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. What does he have
- 38:54Speaker 3: a bunch of freakin' yes men around him. If that's
- 38:58Speaker 3: If that's the case, then somebody need to step up
- 39:00Speaker 3: and say, hey, coach, it's gotta be a little bit
- 39:03Speaker 3: honest with you here.
- 39:04Speaker 7: If Sean Payton won, weren't specific motion, if Sean Payton
- 39:08Speaker 7: wanted a specific free agent, would they get it? Well,
- 39:12Speaker 7: you think they try, You think they think the attent
- 39:15Speaker 7: you know the answer, you know the answer to that question. Okay,
- 39:18Speaker 7: Well the agency he earmarked a specific player and said
- 39:22Speaker 7: I want they would get.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Then this is a Jeff Legwald question today twenty What
- 39:27Speaker 3: the heck are they not? Why are they not doing anything?
- 39:30Speaker 3: And what the heck are they doing?
- 39:32Speaker 6: Can I ask you all right, last thing on this,
- 39:34Speaker 6: we'll move on. If they didn't have these insane comebacks,
- 39:40Speaker 6: So they didn't have the insane comeback against the Eagles
- 39:43Speaker 6: and the Giants and you take let's remove three of them,
- 39:45Speaker 6: four of them from the table fourth quarter, just insane comebacks.
- 39:50Speaker 6: I think they're behaving differently right now. And that's my
- 39:53Speaker 6: problem is that they look at the record and they
- 39:56Speaker 6: look at where they finished, and it's like you can
- 39:59Speaker 6: trick you yourself into believing that, ah, we're fine, We're fine.
- 40:06Speaker 7: This is a text from a guy named Chris Treikowski
- 40:10Speaker 7: on the text line who disagrees with you, Brett. You're
- 40:16Speaker 7: angst over this, he writes in, and that's why you're
- 40:19Speaker 7: a talking head on the radio.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Brett.
- 40:21Speaker 7: Let the adults run the team. Okay, all right, Chris,
- 40:23Speaker 7: I'll tell you what. We're just gonna run some smooth
- 40:26Speaker 7: jazz albums. Let the adults run the team, and then
- 40:30Speaker 7: we'll just give you the scores on Monday mornings and
- 40:32Speaker 7: smooth jazz the rest of the week. I mean, let
- 40:35Speaker 7: let me tell you some Chris. Let me tell you something.
- 40:36Speaker 7: You are the worst kind of fan that exists. Zero
- 40:41Speaker 7: feedback from a guy like you, zero zip. You don't
- 40:47Speaker 7: care what they do, zero criticism.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Nothing, just a cheerleader.
- 40:52Speaker 7: If that's the case, because let me tell you something else.
- 40:55Speaker 7: The biggest, the biggest threat, are you gonna get that
- 40:58Speaker 7: music off because this is what we're doing.
- 41:01Speaker 6: You said we're playing on the jazz. Here you go,
- 41:03Speaker 6: I think wants to be angry. You gotta take it.
- 41:04Speaker 7: You can't get that off of there because what your
- 41:09Speaker 7: biggest fear is as a fan is that they don't
- 41:11Speaker 7: see what we all see. For example, Can you imagine
- 41:15Speaker 7: if the Avs didn't see that they have a power
- 41:18Speaker 7: play problem that we've all seen it. Yeah, if they
- 41:22Speaker 7: just said, oh yeah, we'll fix it and there's no problem,
- 41:24Speaker 7: what are you talking about? Or if the Douggets didn't
- 41:27Speaker 7: see that, we see they have a defense problem, a
- 41:31Speaker 7: turnover problem, or just name a team. The issue with
- 41:36Speaker 7: the Broncos is the offense at times went to sleep.
- 41:41Speaker 7: It was a problem. You want to fix that, you
- 41:44Speaker 7: need more playmakers. I think we all see that. Yeah,
- 41:47Speaker 7: they failed to add another playmaker? What is wrong with
- 41:50Speaker 7: saying that? As the adult Troy?
- 41:53Speaker 6: What does that even mean as of now? Again, that
- 41:55Speaker 6: could change. They could announce the trade in two minutes
- 41:58Speaker 6: and I could be eating crowing all all of this,
- 42:00Speaker 6: and that'd be I would welcome that. But most you
- 42:03Speaker 6: said he had something for Vic go ahead?
- 42:06Speaker 3: Well yeah, I was looking about, well, the future and
- 42:11Speaker 3: what's in store for Team US? Said, I guess they're
- 42:12Speaker 3: gonna win the whole damn thing. Now is that probably
- 42:14Speaker 3: the case? Now they've gotten the second lease on life
- 42:17Speaker 3: in this World Baseball Classic, They're gonna win the whole thing.
- 42:19Speaker 6: If they pitched the way that they did against Italy.
- 42:21Speaker 6: They aren't.
- 42:22Speaker 7: Anything can happen with these shortened pitch You know, you
- 42:24Speaker 7: can't go your full rotation because guys are limited how
- 42:28Speaker 7: many pitches they can throw. It's sort of let's be honest.
- 42:31Speaker 6: I've said this before too. I think the US has
- 42:34Speaker 6: one thing that is hurting them that the other teams
- 42:37Speaker 6: don't seem to have, which is a lack of They
- 42:40Speaker 6: don't care as much as these other teams seem to.
- 42:42Speaker 7: Did you see the folks in the Dominican Republic watching?
- 42:45Speaker 6: Oh my god, dude, they're all over it.
- 42:49Speaker 7: But go ahead, can we admit there's zero well in
- 42:52Speaker 7: terms of just patriotism for your world baseball team, it's
- 42:56Speaker 7: not even close.
- 42:58Speaker 6: Two things happen most Yeah, Bryce Harper said before this
- 43:03Speaker 6: thing started. Yeah, it's cool, but it's not the Olympics.
- 43:05Speaker 6: So that set the tone immediately. And the manager of
- 43:08Speaker 6: the US team, do you know who he is?
- 43:12Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a dude.
- 43:12Speaker 8: He's an announcer.
- 43:14Speaker 7: Dude, he's got my job.
- 43:16Speaker 3: Yeah, he talks to a mi K.
- 43:19Speaker 8: Vinny Pasquentino, he's the d H for the Royals.
- 43:24Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:26Speaker 8: Uh, this guy grew.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Up in Richmond, Virginia. Is there anybody in Italy even
- 43:35Speaker 3: remotely watching this stuff. Vic Most what I mean, it's
- 43:39Speaker 3: like Kenny Powers pitching in the in the Mexican League.
- 43:43Speaker 8: You know, he's like, what are we most?
- 43:47Speaker 3: What do we do? What are we? What are we doing?
- 43:49Speaker 7: You know better than what you went with me to
- 43:51Speaker 7: Italy a few years back. We brought a ball and
- 43:55Speaker 7: a glove. My son was really into baseball at the time. Yeah,
- 43:58Speaker 7: and nobody can. They're like, what is that? What are
- 44:02Speaker 7: you guys doing? Trust me, nobody. There aren't any streets
- 44:08Speaker 7: in Italy now suddenly playing baseball because of this. I mean,
- 44:12Speaker 7: it's absolute lunacy. These are Americans, They're not even they're
- 44:16Speaker 7: Americans with Italian last names. It's sort of stupid, to
- 44:20Speaker 7: be honest with you, when I think about it, it's stupid.
- 44:24Speaker 3: I was reading about old Vinnie Pascuinina was of Italian descent.
- 44:28Speaker 8: Oh you don't say, dude, he's.
- 44:34Speaker 3: I don't know how far back they it goes, but
- 44:38Speaker 3: this guy's like, hey, how you doing. Benny been at
- 44:41Speaker 3: Pascantine my nicknames Pasquatch. Yeah, that's who I am. And
- 44:45Speaker 3: he's like playing for I don't know, it's just this
- 44:49Speaker 3: whole thing to me is kind of funny. Man. So
- 44:51Speaker 3: there's not one guy in the Italian baseball team that
- 44:53Speaker 3: speaks Italian.
- 44:55Speaker 6: I just did some research. Here many baseball players in
- 45:02Speaker 6: MLB history. Do you think we're born in Italy? Born
- 45:08Speaker 6: in Italy, in Italy, that's what you're talking about most, right,
- 45:12Speaker 6: Like born in Italy. Well, what are you guys saying
- 45:15Speaker 6: twenty guys that are born in Japan or born in Cuba.
- 45:19Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I know, but not born now. I mean,
- 45:21Speaker 7: if you went back to the fifties and you wanted
- 45:24Speaker 7: to field an Italian baseball team, they have direct descendants
- 45:28Speaker 7: in the fifties. I mean, Joe DiMaggio, Don Demio. I mean,
- 45:32Speaker 7: there are so many players from that era whose parents
- 45:35Speaker 7: came right off the boat.
- 45:37Speaker 6: No I understand.
- 45:38Speaker 3: I mean we go all the way back to to
- 45:40Speaker 3: Babe ruth a Roni. I mean, you know he was
- 45:42Speaker 3: he was a real good play.
- 45:43Speaker 7: I know you're joking their most but in the fifties.
- 45:46Speaker 3: He just cut he just cut it off. Though when
- 45:48Speaker 3: he came to the States when he's a baby, cut
- 45:50Speaker 3: it off. From Ruth Roni to Ruth.
- 45:51Speaker 7: And fifties they were prominent.
- 45:56Speaker 3: And there were a ton of Italian players. Yeah, I
- 46:00Speaker 3: mean the Demagoes. Obviously, there's no whole family.
- 46:03Speaker 6: Nine total born.
- 46:05Speaker 3: In nine guys born in Italy who are play will
- 46:09Speaker 3: have played in the bigs we're playing, who have played.
- 46:11Speaker 6: There's two active ones right now.
- 46:12Speaker 7: This is just you know, it's a way to field
- 46:14Speaker 7: enough teams for the WBC.
- 46:16Speaker 3: And the way to field is he who's.
- 46:17Speaker 7: Got a bunch of last names in America that are ethnic.
- 46:20Speaker 7: That's what it is. Oh you got some Myspanics. Okay,
- 46:22Speaker 7: what what country? Oh you got some Oh you got Italians? Okay,
- 46:25Speaker 7: wait great, all right, let's do this. That's all it is.
- 46:30Speaker 6: Hang on, let me see this real quick. Uh Randy
- 46:33Speaker 6: Arose Arena is playing for Team Mexico. He was born
- 46:39Speaker 6: in Cuba and now lives in the United States. I mean,
- 46:45Speaker 6: you realize there was a.
- 46:46Speaker 7: Picture there's a picture for the Brooklyn Dodgers by the
- 46:49Speaker 7: name of Vic Lombardi, a lefty.
- 46:54Speaker 8: I was not aware of that.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Yeah, and well now you.
- 46:56Speaker 6: Are Lombardy MLB stats.
- 47:01Speaker 3: He was a.
- 47:01Speaker 7: Heroic type of picture too.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Really, I did not know that heroic in what way?
- 47:08Speaker 7: He pitched in the major leagues for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
- 47:10Speaker 6: Dude, he kind of looks like you. That's weird. I
- 47:14Speaker 6: don't like that.
- 47:15Speaker 7: Does he really?
- 47:16Speaker 3: You realize he knows a guy named Ernie.
- 47:19Speaker 6: D Mosh Not only do I I think this guy
- 47:23Speaker 6: from the one picture I'm seeing right now kind of
- 47:25Speaker 6: looks like Vic. He's five to seven and fifty eight pounds,
- 47:30Speaker 6: I tell him, and he.
- 47:34Speaker 7: Was a picture.
- 47:36Speaker 6: He kind of looks like him. Look at most on
- 47:39Speaker 6: the screen.
- 47:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that looks like Vic. Yeah, that kind of looks
- 47:43Speaker 3: like you, bro, Yeah, it kind of does.
- 47:45Speaker 7: Can you imagine trotting out of five to seven picture
- 47:48Speaker 7: today when Billy Wagner Billy Wagner threw one hundred and
- 47:53Speaker 7: he was one of about five to nine.
- 47:56Speaker 8: Yeah, he was the like five nine, five ten.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Yeah. He My Campten dealed. He wasn't a big guy.
- 48:01Speaker 3: Arnie Moser played. Uh, he had five at bats for
- 48:06Speaker 3: the Reds back in nineteen thirty seven. There you go.
- 48:09Speaker 3: That's that's not too bad either.
- 48:11Speaker 6: Very cool texture, says Otani is half Italian.
- 48:17Speaker 3: He got a valve of his name.
- 48:18Speaker 7: I'm surprised they didn't take him.
- 48:20Speaker 6: All right, get back to the Nuggets next
