10-13-26 Hour 3: Some Seahawks Talk/Adam Schefter Joins The Program/Finally... Mose's Keys to the Game · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter is going to join us at 9.20 this morning.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: The No. 2-ranked Valor Christian Eagles head to Falcon Stadium
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for a tilt against Pine Creek at Air Force Academy
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this Thursday evening on AM 950. It's all brought to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you by Wings Credit Union. Financial decisions can stack up fast.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Wings Credit Union can help. Let's figure it out together.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Visit wingsco.com. Can I give you guys a stat real quick?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here all day waiting for you to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: ask me.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: And quite frankly, at this point, at 9.01 in the morning,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: my feelings are kind of hurt. Let me see. Let
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: me think.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He wants the keys to the game. We have a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: time that we do this. I'm going to go whenever
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Mosier's ready. That's not how it works.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Why does everything have to work on your time? Because
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm me and you're you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That's why. Let me give you this stat real quick.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: So this is EPA per play. It's basically a stat
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that says, hey, the play should have been this. The
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: better number is the better you did on the play, whatever.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It's a nerdy number.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: But I just want to show you guys something.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Listen to this guy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Who said, what frigging... Who came up with this? Pocket
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: protector propeller head.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to come up with a stat called EPA.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: What the hell does that even mean? Is that a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: coach's stat? Oh, look it, we drew it up. It's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: supposed to be a touchdown every time. Hey, the play
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: didn't work.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: It sucked, but hey man, if we had executed it,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: we could have got 87 yards out of it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: How stupid are you right now? It's so dumb.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Points added per play is what it means. Now, In
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: this category.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Did you get in the frigging end zone or did
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you not?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And I know.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It focuses on the offense. So all of this would
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: make sense. The best teams in the league in this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: category is exactly who you'd expect it to be.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: The leader is Buffalo. After that, it's Detroit. After that,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: it's Dallas. Then San Francisco. Then KC. Then Baltimore. Jacksonville.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It goes on and on.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So teams that can put the ball in the end zone.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The Broncos in this category are seventh worst. So not
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the worst offense in the NFL.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Can I guess who's behind them?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Please do.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Miami. Tennessee.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Miami is not behind the Denver Broncos.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Miami is not.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: The Chargers.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The Chargers are dead last.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Buccaneers.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good... Arizona.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: These are the ones that are going to surprise you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Jets?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You know who has, according to this number, a worse
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: offense this year than the Broncos?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's the Seattle Seahawks.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Told you. They've been turning the ball over since Sam
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Donald returned to the lineup, and they can't run.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a turnover problem and a run game problem.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Last year, they won the Super Bowl largely because they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: could run the ball whenever they wanted to.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: It's kind of amazing when the Super Bowl MVP says,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I'm going to get.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Some bread in Kansas City. Your running game goes downhill.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Well, and then you lose Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hurt and all that stuff. I mean, they're down to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: their third string.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Is there a possibility that Charbonnet could be in Thursday?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He was limited in practice, so I don't know. He
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: could be. But here's the interesting thing. These are the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: teams that are statistically worse than the Broncos according to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this EPA number. Tampa Bay, Seattle, Tennessee, Philadelphia. And here's
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the last two teams. How funny is this? The worst
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: offense in the league is the Los Angeles Chargers, who
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: are 0-5. The second worst offense in the league is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's because their defense is killer.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The Vikings defense, Vic, when you're talking about, we
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: talk about the Broncos defense, and it's elite. I mean,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: it's very, very good. But also, look at those dang Vikings.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: They are super good, dude. And so you don't need
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Kyler Murray to go crazy, right? I guess he needed
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Carson Wentz that one time. But you don't really need
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: that because your defense is so good.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But I want to explain something to you guys just
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: real quick. The Seattle Seahawks offense, statistically, worse than the Broncos.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ignore week one because Sam Donald was hurt.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: It was a weird circumstance. Drew Locke comes in probably unprepared.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They still won that game 13-10. Here's the points they've
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: scored since that game with that offense. 31-31, 30-29.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So what you're saying is, and what I was going
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to say, and the reason why I've not said a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: damn thing over the last five minutes, there are too
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: many stats in the sports world today. That stat that
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you started this segment with is the dumbest thing I've
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: ever heard of. And I never want you to bring
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: it up again.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: What it shows you is this. They don't have consistent offense.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They have two or three big plays a game. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: what they do. I don't care.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, what else do they have, Brett, that's very similar
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to the Broncos? A good defense. They have a very
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: good defense. I can give you a stat for everything.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: The Broncos, for example, have the worst explosion play offense
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in the NFL in the first quarter of games. Bo
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Nix ranks dead last in the first quarter in explosive plays.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. Use your eyes. Watch the games.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: This wasn't about Denver. This was about Seattle.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I bring this up.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: But you're saying to me, you're saying to me, use
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: your eyes. You're saying to me, you want me to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: believe based on your EPA stats. By the way, I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: once worked for the EPA off of 6th Avenue when
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I was a kid. I did it during college. It
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: was a great summer job. I was basically a clerk.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares. Once saw a tornado off of Colfax on
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the way home. Nobody cares.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Did you only see it because you worked for the EPA?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You said that like that was part of it. Everybody
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: else who worked at Jack in the Box, they didn't
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: see the tornado. Only EPA people did.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It was the EPA goggles.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus God.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Continue, please. Yeah, please continue. You're trying to convince me,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: based on your EPA stats, that the Seattle Seahawks offense
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: is similar to the Broncos offense. I want you to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: take those EPA stats. I want you to grind them up.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Put them in a blender. Grind them up. Grind them up.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Put some protein shake stuff in there. Put some maybe blueberries, bananas,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a couple apples. Dice them up.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: maybe creatine, put the creatine powder in there, put it,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: pour it in a big cup and just gurgle it down.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Just drink it. Cause that's what I think of those stats.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd tell you this.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: The reason why I think this is relevant is because
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks offense is.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Not one that grinds you down. It's not that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And here's why I think it's extra relevant. When you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have a game where you could be missing three of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: your top four secondary players, Now, Moss was limited in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: practice yesterday, which is a good sign, but Sertan did
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: not practice. Hufanga did not practice.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Those are both really bad signs.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It's not the kind of offense that is going to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: torch you because you're missing a couple of guys. By
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the way, Jadé Barron and Chris Abrams-Drain, I thought, did
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a really good job last week.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I thought they played great. I thought they played great.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: You know why?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Because they were playing DB against you. You don't even
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: know who was catching the football for the Chargers. You
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: never heard of them before.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: This is the tenet. This is the hypothesis that Big
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Red here is bringing to the table today. Fear not
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the Seattle offense. All they do is a couple explosive
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: plays here and there. I want to apologize to our
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: listeners for having a What do you mean? Got through
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: this segment. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: EPA stat. I mean, what's your point? I don't like it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I've told you what the point is. Is that, yes,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they have scored points. I don't think that's going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: happen against this defense because I don't think they'll give up.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: The explosive plays. Okay, so how good is Seattle?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I think they keep them in check. They have really
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: one person you're worried about on offense, and that's JSN.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And he is a whale to stop. He's going to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get numbers in this game.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: When you look at the Seattle defense, Brett... It's currently
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: number one in the National Football League in terms of
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: yards given up. Yeah. Right?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Total?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Now, they give up 21 points per game, but you
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: know why they do that?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: It's because their offense gives the ball to the opposition
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: on their half of the field.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: If there's one thing that we know the Broncos can
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: at least capitalize on that we judged from last week is.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Turnovers.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Put the ball in the 40-yard line, we'll come up
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: with something at some point.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: 100%. Yes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Now, I just... I wonder, was Sam Darnold, who's had
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a magical two years, and it feels like a lot
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of people, myself included, I've had a hard time turning
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the corner.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I'm being like, Sam Darnold's good at football.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You think reality check time?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Is this it?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Could be. Could be. What's Sam Darnold without a running game?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Five interceptions in three games? When he had Charbonnet and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker in the backfield, maybe ease things up a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: little bit? I mean, look, you're playing against this team
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: on a short week, and you're going to be missing
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: some key defensive players. And Sertan is obviously the biggest one.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Hufanga is a huge miss if he can't play.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: He's huge.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He does everything. He blitzes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: He attacks in the run game. He's great in coverage.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He does it all.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: He's a disruptor even when he's not making the tackle.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: The potential of the Denver defense missing three starting defensive
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: backs doesn't scare you. when it comes to your EPA stats?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: You aren't listening.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It does scare me, but it's not as if the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Seahawks have an offense similar to last year in which
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they put points on people in a hurry and they
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: did so efficiently and well. If they're turning the ball over,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we asked all year, what can the Broncos
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: improve on defensively?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: It's getting turnovers.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: They've been able to do that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I think they've been a lot better in that category
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I'm curious about Smith and Jigba, though. I know he
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: was limited himself with an ankle.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Do we know anything more about him? They said he's fine.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: He dropped a big pass in that game. Against the Niners?
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he did.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But here's, I guess, overall... This feels to me like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: this is going to be another low-scoring game, which would
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: favor the Broncos. It's what they do. They live here.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: They know what this is like. This is every week
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of their lives they do this. What, one play can
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: make all the difference because it's a three-point game and 17-14? Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It's where they live. I feel better about the Broncos'
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: chances this week than I did, not last week, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: certainly two weeks ago against San Francisco.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: You know what's crazy? You just said something. I wouldn't
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: be surprised one bit if the Broncos win this game. No,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, I'm not
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: saying I expect them to, but I wouldn't be surprised
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: at all. I wouldn't be sitting here going, Oh my God,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: because they can, because they've done it because they have
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that resolve. And still, and still I would have questions
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: after the game. I know what they are. I mean,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: isn't it weird? Isn't it the ultimate, like, what are
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: we talking about?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Like again, again, Why can't I just believe? Why can't
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I just believe that this is okay?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Faith and belief are two different things.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: There is a very good chance we do the show
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: on Friday.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And the Broncos win.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Broncos are 4-2.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And they win.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: They're 4-2.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And we're like, but they didn't score in the first half.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Again, you're talking about the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: same things over and over again. And who knows? If
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they lose this game, it's not going to feel soul-crushing.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think it will.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you're 3-3, and you're exactly where we anticipated they'd
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: be after this six-game march.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Hey, a text says the Broncos are going to get rocked.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to get rocked either. How
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: about this text? It's from JB. This came earlier. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: got to be honest with you guys. I'm really tired
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: of hearing you be blank. and moan and whine and
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: cry about the Broncos. Enough already. Curse word. There are
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: teams that somehow, this is a team that somehow keeps
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: winning football games. It's the NFL. It's more competitive than ever,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and you've played a bunch of really good blank, blank teams.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Stop being a little whiny blank, blank, and be happy
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: that you're winning football games. You could be the Dallas
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Cowboys with all the offense in the world, but no blank,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: blank D. You could be a lot of teams that
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: are worse, so stop blank, blank crying and blank, blank it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Try supporting your team. Love, J.B.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know how else.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not here to pretend that what I see is
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: not real.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't lie to you. I can't lie to you.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Look, I do think it's great, and we've said it
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a number of different times in a number of different ways,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that the Broncos winning in this manner is a skill.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: There's no question. I have no heart to lie. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You know what it feels like? It feels like your
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: kid is a B student.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: When you know they could be an A student easily
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: if they just tried.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I guess my message to JB is, I'm not the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: emotional support dog. It's not what we are. I'm not
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: going to wear a vest and climb on your lap.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: She's not doing it. Hey, do you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Do you remember... Excuse me.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: When you could breathe?
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: People bringing on all sorts of animals onto airplanes and stuff, like,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Goats and ferrets.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think people brought goats on an airplane.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Frigging, you know, with claws. I argued with my sister-in-law
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: about this, and she finally admitted it. Because she would
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: bring her dog into all the restaurants and all that stuff.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And she has the emotional support. And I said, how
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: did you get that license? She goes, all right, bottom line,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: we didn't want to keep going home to let the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: dog out. We wanted to bring it with us when
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: we go out on vacation. and we got a lot
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: of stuff going on, and we figured out how to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: do it, and we beat the system. Thank you for
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: admitting it. You admitted it. Finally, someone came to the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: table with an admission and said, you're too lazy to
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: go home, let the dog out, so you go get
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a fake emotional support license to bring it with you.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how the medical weed licenses came out? You
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: go to your doctor, and he's like, is there any
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: way I can get this? And he goes, well, does
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: your back hurt?
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: And you go, yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So here you go.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Smoke all you want now.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, listen, Doc, my toenail's ingrown. There you go.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's good for that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I want to bring a javelina on an airplane. A what?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: A Halloween? Javelina.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You know what a javelina is?
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: It's a type of angry pig. It's a pig. An
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: angry pig. Angry pig. I want a javelina next to me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Javelina.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter joins us next.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Denver is in my soul. It's always a part of me.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: This just now breaking in the NFL.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 presents America's number one sports reporter,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: our pro football insider, Adam Schefter.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Johnson Auto Plaza.

• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Let's head out to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com. We're
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: joined as we are every Tuesday by Adam Schefter, who
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: joins us, it looks like, post-workout. Hello, Adam. Hello there, guys.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Getting your buff on, are you?
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Trying to, at least. I mean, at least I could do, right? Like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: you sit around and stuff your face for four days,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: got to work out, you know, sometimes.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Well, turn Vic's mic on, please.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: What do you do? What did I do? I didn't
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: hear you, Vic. Your mic was off.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: What is your exercise regimen?
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, I have a guy that I train with, you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: once a week and just get done with him. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: he just does, we do some lifting, some boxing, just
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: a little bit of things to kind of stay in
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: shape if we can, if we can.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Any karate, by chance?
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: No karate. No karate.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Adam Schefter with us.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Do you have any updates? You know, the game's only
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a couple days away. Statuses on guys like Sertan or
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Riley Moss or anything like that?
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: No, I think I'd be surprised if Sertan played. I mean,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: that would be a quick turnaround. It's a short week.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: They could certainly use him against JSN, Jackson Smith, and Jigba,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: but I haven't gotten any indication that he's playing. It
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean he won't, but I have not been told
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: one way or another.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Again, Adam Schefter is with us. And from what you've
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: seen over the weekend, you jump on all these shows,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the get-ups and first takes, and you talk to smart people.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Who had the best reaction to recapping the end of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the Giants and Commanders game from this last week?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, there are a lot of takes on that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: You could do a greatest hits of when teams do
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: something like that. It's pretty self-explanatory. I mean, you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: it brought me back. It brought me back to when
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: I was a kid in New York. I think it
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: was 1978, maybe 1979, in the fumble where Joe Przorczyk
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: went to handoff to Larry Zonk in the final minutes. Fumbled.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Herm Edwards recovered it. Ran in for a touchdown. It
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: was the fumble. It was pretty incredible that anything like
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: that could happen. I think this was along those same lines.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I've got to be honest with you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: When something goes bad, I love hearing Rex's reaction to
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: it because it's unfiltered.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: So he's like, this is atrocious.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: This will never happen again in the history of our lifetimes.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: It's pretty funny stuff because, Adam, I mean, you're talking
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: about the very basics of winning, the very basics of football,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the very basics of clock management. It's just insane that
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: something like that could happen in today's.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Day and age.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Rex called the dumbest plays seen or
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: the worst clock management. Some kind of hyperbolic expression that
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: tried to sum up what he saw, what we all saw,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: which we had a hard time believing. Those are the
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: kinds of plays that I think stay with you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, Adam, last week we went through a big news
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: week with the play calling duty shifting from Davis Webb
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to Sean Payton, and when we spoke to you a
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: week ago, you heard whispers of this. Why do you
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: think it took so long for them to just admit it?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Why didn't they just come out and say, hey, here's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: what we're doing? It took a little prodding. It took
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the news to leak before Sean Payton went out and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: said it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Vic. You need somebody to confirm it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: And even though I think it and believe it, it's
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: sort of like the Marvin Harrison trade over the weekend.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I think, I know he's traded. I think it's going
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: to be Houston, but I don't know it's going to
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: be Houston. And the danger is if I report he's
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: being traded to Houston without knowing it, and then it
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: falls apart, which we've seen enough trades fall apart, then
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: you're wrong. And then you're an idiot, right? Same thing
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: on this. There's subtleties in context to it. You hear
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: it's happening. You think it's happening, but you don't know
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: exactly to what extent is it Sean just taking it
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: fully over is he is he taking over the majority
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: of it is he and you don't know exactly you
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: need somebody somebody to spell that out until that's spelled
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: out you don't know what it is and it's hard
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: to you're not going to report at least i'm not
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: other people do i'm hearing i'm here hearing doesn't work
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: for me okay I hear a lot of things. I
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: can't go by what I'm hearing, okay? I can go
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: by what I'm confirming, what I know. And so there's
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: different thresholds. So I think a lot of people heard
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: that this could be in the works, didn't know exactly
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: the full extent of it, what it meant, whether it
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: was Sean in its entirety, whether it was Sean keeping
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Davis involved, whether Davis should have a say. You didn't
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: know exactly what it was, but you knew something was happening.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Does it surprise you that it took only four weeks
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: for that move to be made?
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: I would look at it the other way. I would
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: think that he would have been afforded more time, to
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: be honest with you. So, you know, I think when
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Sean Payton had his play calling duty stripped in New
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: York from Jim Fossil in 2002, the Giants went seven
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: and two from that point on. So nine games. So
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: he had seven games into the season. Four seems to
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: me to be a little quick.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, Adam, just real quick on top of that. What
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: are the prospects?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, Davis Webb was somebody who got OC interviews
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in the offseason. He got head coaching interviews in the offseason.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Do you think that him getting stripped of duties four
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: games in changes the way that other teams perceive him
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: as a coaching candidate?
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe initially some, but I think in the long run,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: he's going to have a big say at the age
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: of 31 in determining and spelling out what kind of
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: coach he's going to be. Like Sean Payton, when he
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: had his play duty stripped, he left that organization, the Giants,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: after that season, went to the Dallas Cowboys, worked for
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Bill Parcells, got hired as a head coach. Could I
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: see Davis Webb leave? I mean, you know, let's see
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: how the season plays out. All options will be on
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: the table. Wouldn't shock me. And then it'll be up
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: to him to kind of, I don't know, just kind
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: of continue to define the type of coach he is
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: and build his brand.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Adam, after all these years, do you have a spidey
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: sense when a coach is getting frustrated with his starting quarterback?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Does that pop up on your radar from week to week?
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I just think you have it. You know, you can
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: just kind of feel certain things on anything in the league.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: You know, whether that's a coach getting frustrated with a
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: quarterback or whatever it may be. Any trade, a firing,
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: a hiring. Like, you just kind of take and play
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: calling back. Like, whatever it is, right? Like, they're just little...
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: hints and subtle indications that you can read into that
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: sometimes helps get you to a certain spot.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Well, what's interesting is because I think the way Bo
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Nix plays the game, at least I thought this when
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: he was a rookie, but it really hasn't changed a
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: whole lot, you know, adverse to the middle of.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: The field and pushing it downfield and so on.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: And, and, flushing out of the pocket. I thought that
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: maybe this was trained into him by Sean Payton because
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: don't turn the football over, don't do anything stupid, don't
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: fumble it, don't give it to the opposition, you know,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: that sort of thing. But then when I hear Payton
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: come out after the game and say he needs to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: let her rip, I'm thinking, well, maybe this is just more.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix than anything else.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that Sean is frustrated with him,
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: but if you start to lose, those two things can
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: get accelerated, can they not?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, here's
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: what I would say. I mean, I think that they
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: believe in Bo Nix. They have confidence in Bo Nix.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: And a couple of weeks ago, we had the football
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: world questioning and criticizing Drake May. And since then, he's
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: bounced back with two of the better games he's played.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Do I think that Bo Nix is capable of that?
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I absolutely do. You know, he's got to get it done.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: He hasn't looked great so far, but it's early in
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: the season. There's a long way to go, and I'd
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: rather be peaking in January than in October.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Sensei Schefter. Jonathan Cooper went to court yesterday
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and they announced a new trial date in March. Can
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you please play lawyer? What does this mean for his
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: suspension and all that business?
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I got to call the league this week and find out.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know exactly. And I wouldn't want to comment
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: because obviously it's a very serious situation. And I don't
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: have answers. I wouldn't speculate there. This isn't like talking
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: about a trade or a coach's future. It's turned out
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: a very serious situation. I don't have the answers to
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: that right now, Vic.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: But you've seen before where the league, you've told us others,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the league doesn't care. They make their own rules, right?
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Correct. Correct. They do what they want to do and
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: what's in the best interest of the NFL and protecting
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: the integrity of the game.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: All conversations with Adam are brought to you by Johnson
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Auto Plaza with a huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. One thing, I know
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it's a shock that the Chargers are now 0-5 on
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the year after being sort of an off-season darling. My
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: question is, I know people are thinking about Jim Harbaugh.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Is he long for that job if this continues to
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: go this way? What is the status of Justin Herbert
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: within that organization? If this season goes really south, because
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they have a really tough next month of football games
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: where it's going to be hard to win. If this
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: goes really south and they're picking top three in the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: draft or something, is there any question about moving on
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: from him?
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: It's a good question. It's the third time I've been
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: asked this today. And I actually addressed it on my podcast,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: which I'm waiting to have pop up on Spotify or
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Had an extensive conversation,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: but in a nutshell. I had another team talk to
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: me about the Chargers trading Justin Herbert last week, like
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: why it made sense. It was very interesting. I called
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: and spoke to one of the people that I know
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: at the Chargers, and they could not have dismissed it
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: any more forcefully and quickly. Again, could things change? Always.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Like the Dallas Cowboys, we're not trading Micah Parsons. We're
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: not trading Khalil Mack. We're not doing this. Things happen.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: But I'm just going to tell you, based on the
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: conversation I had last week, which I talked all about
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: in my podcast today, nothing. Nothing there.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Help me understand something. I'm still puzzled by the Chargers'
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: move to L.A. Now, I get it. It was a
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: stadium thing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: But the L.A.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Market for two teams renting or one renting the same stadium,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't feel right for the Chargers. Do you
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: ever see a day where they may go back home
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: or leave L.A.? Are they going to be leasing there forever?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: What do you think happens in long term?
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Well, again, not being as educated on that topic, not
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: having checked into it in years, I do remember that
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: they left there because it was a stadium issue. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know the viability of the viability and. chances
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: of there actually being a new stadium in San Diego.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know whether they could just leave a lease
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: that they've signed for so far. There's a lot of
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: questions I don't have answers to. But I will say this.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: I love them in San Diego. They felt like they
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: were San Diego. They don't feel like they're L.A.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely true.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: It's 100%.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: And not only that, you saw all the orange in
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: that stadium on Sunday, Adam. It's been probably six years
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: since we all did the show. We went to L.A.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: in that little soccer stadium as they were building SoFi. And, Adam,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: it was more than half Broncos. I mean, it was
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: packed with Broncos fans. It's just got to be a
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: tremendous disadvantage knowing that everybody who comes into your joint
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: is bringing their fans with them.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't think it was exclusive to Sunday's
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: game against Denver, to your point. I think that's probably
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: a regular occurrence, and it's kind of the way that
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: they operate. And, again, that's why, you know, in San Diego,
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: I remember going to games there every year, and that
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: stadium was a tough place to play, Jack Murphy Stadium,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: like that. You remember that, Vic, right? Like, it was loud.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, Adam, Adam, I went to San Diego a couple
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: months ago to go to a Padres game, and that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: place was crazy.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and San Diego loved the Chargers, and then it
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: became a stadium issue, a money issue, and they left
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: for L.A., and the rest is history.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter with us, all conversations with Adam, brought to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you by Matthews Fine Watches and Jewelry in Highlands Ranch
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Town Center and online at MatthewsFineWatches.com. I do want to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: ask you about this, because I know you worked with him.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: If you've got a good story that you'd like to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: share about your time with Mike Ditko, who passed away recently.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, there are many stories. We talked about this
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: on Sunday Countdown, and before I share something that was there,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: I remember in 2009 being hired at ESPN and being
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: told that I was going to be on Sunday Countdown.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: And I remember driving up that Sunday morning for the
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: very first show where I'm going to be in a
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: studio with the legendary Chris Berman, the legendary Tom Jackson,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: the legendary Chris Mortensen, and the legendary Mike Ditka. And
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I walked in there 2009, I would have been 42,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: 43 years old. And, uh, even at that age, I was,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: I was in awe.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: You know, Mike, Mike Dick was a man's man. He was,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: he was warm inside, but tough on the outside. Like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: and I remember I went to graduate school in Chicago
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: in 89 when he was still the coach there. And,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: He presented such a towering figure. Like, he was an
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: intimidating guy. Like, Vic, you remember Dan Reeves in Denver? Oh, yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I think Ditko was next level in terms of intimidating,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: and Dan was very intimidating.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Is it true that he gave away $ 100 bills to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: random people?
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: The most incredible thing I'd ever see. He would walk
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: around with a fat wad of cash, all $ 100 bills,
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: all the time. And he would take out his wad,
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: and he'd be walking past the PAs at ESPN. Hey,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: thanks for the work today. Thanks for the work today.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: You're kidding me.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: We'd be in a restaurant. He'd say, hey, could I
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: get a beer? And they'd be like, $ 8. And he'd
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: give the waitress $ 100, keep the change.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Like, I mean, and I heard Jim Nance tell the
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: story where he did that when he was on CBS,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: the Today Show, or whatever they call their pregame show.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: He would show up. He would come to New York
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: 20 times a year, you know, for the regular season
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: of playoff games. And he'd bring $ 5, 000 a weekend, $ 100, 000
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: for the year, and he would literally give out $ 100, 000
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: over the course of it. And I saw him do it. Like,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: I saw him do it. Like, we'd be somewhere, like
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: the bellhop would grab his bags. We'd be walking into
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: a hotel.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Here's $ 100.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Wow. Like, $ 100 for everybody. $ 100. C-notes. C-notes for everything.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Here's 50 pesos.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, last thing in regards to that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I only had a couple of interactions with Mike Ditka
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: in my life, but I had him on the show
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: about probably 20 years ago, something like that. So if
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: you were in Chicago then, I was in Chicago then,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: do you recall the Bears game where Don Mikowski won
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: it for the Packers at the very end, but there
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: was controversy? I brought that up to him, and I said, Coach,
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I want to take you back to 1989, blah, blah, blah.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: And he goes, and I said, it was against the Packers.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: And he immediately goes, Mikowski was over the line of scrimmage.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: He goes, it never should have happened. It's one of
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: the worst calls I've ever, I mean, like it just,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, like he flashed back to that exact moment.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that's a damn football coach is what that is.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a great man. And Greeny shared this
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: one story with me where there was one Sunday, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: I remember it because I was working to confirm that
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Von Miller was being suspended for And been in cahoots
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: with the drug testers and was facing a potentially year-long suspension.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: And it was like I was scrambling for like three
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: days getting the details of the story, confirming it. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden they said, hey, come over to
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: the jugs machine. I didn't even know what was going on.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: And there they had Ditka and Tom Jackson and Chris Berman.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: I have to go back and look at the video
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: because it happened like 15 years ago. And they're like,
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: let's see if you catch these passes off the jug machine.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: And literally, I caught one, and it was so forceful
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: that it knocked me backwards, and I fell into a
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: water cooler. Like, all you have to do is, you know,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Google Adam Schefter, Judge Michelle, come up. And Greeny told
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: me the story that, you know, Dick was on Mike
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: & Mike that Monday morning, and Greeny's mentioned something to me,
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: and Dick has said to him, in Greeny's words, I
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: love people who love their jobs, and Adam Schefter loves
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: his job. Like, that— and, like, you know, I hadn't heard it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: It was— It just was very powerful and coming from
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: somebody like that. So it was emotional to hear that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter joins us every single Tuesday. Always appreciate the time, Adam.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Have a great day, guys. Thank you.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Adam Schefter, ESPN.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I actually saw that, what he's talking about. I was
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: watching NFL Sunday Countdown when that was going on.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: It was really cool. Greeny relaying that story. Adam never
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: heard it before. He got a little teary-eyed. It was
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: really Nate.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: But I can't imagine just having a wad of $ 5, 000
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and just go, like, dumb and dumber. Like, here you go.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Here you go.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Just to everybody that you see.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You know what Ditka is? Ditka is the antithesis of Mosher,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: who's always asking people for cash.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mosher would say, give to me. Give to me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Give to me. Two bucks. Mosher, two bucks. Here.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Me, me, mine, money, me.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not moneying you. Me needing a lot now.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: You are not getting moneyed.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we'll get keys to the game. Coming your way
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in just a few minutes.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: No, you won't.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: The Avs face the stars tonight. All action is right
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Tune in for pregame
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: powered by Ramos Law at 6. And Connor will have
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: all the action shortly after at 6.30.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Somebody texted and says, 6269, hey, boy, this is really random.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Why do we get these? Hey boys, which day was
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: it when Vic drank that Monster Energy drink? Oh, that
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: messed with me big time. Do you remember that?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I told you.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Because you're an amateur.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: That taurine, that niacin is going to get you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Dude, that made me... Like, I'm a spaz to begin with. Yeah, but...
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: But that took me to very spastic levels. But the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: question I have is... Why do you need to know that?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Months later, 6269, what is the purpose of that question?
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Are you going to go back in time and pull it,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: or what are we doing here?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: It's a valid question. Why would somebody be hankering to
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: see Vic drink a Monster Energy drink? Although you were insane.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: That was a rough day for you, dude. You couldn't
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: even drink it all, remember? It was red, right?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Vic said he liked it the first five minutes. I go, yeah,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: just give it a second.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: He's like this, I really like this.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: It's good. It's really good, man. You guys, you people
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: who do drugs, I see where it can affect you.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Drugs?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I see now what it does to you. And that
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to me is like a drug.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's called an upper. First experience with an upper?
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get this done.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Do whatever it takes to win. It's the Johnson Auto
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Plaza Keys to the Game. Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Experience the power of the plaza where they have the
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: keys to performance and style with Ram, Jeep, Chevy, Buick,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: and GMC and a huge selection of used all in
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: one place.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Here's Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Keys to the Game. Abs and stars. Tonight.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: 6.30.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Right here on 92.5. Mosher.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Mosher?
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Mosher. Mosherino.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want to do keys.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: No, I'll do it. Okay, you can do it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Keys to the game tonight brought to you by what?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it, Vic. Just give me the keys
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to the game. I'll take care of that later.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: Score.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I got a key. Blackwood's got to make a couple
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: of saves. Ones that... are unexpected, saves above expected. He
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: needs to see some of that for two reasons. Number one,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: to win the game tonight. And number two, build some confidence.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I wholeheartedly agree with you. Even though the Avs have
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: given us some of the most entertaining form of hockey.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Spit it out.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Jesus.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: If you're going to do it, spit it out. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: want one of those defensive gems tonight. I want a
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: 2-1 classic. I want one of them. One of them games.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Vic.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, we don't care what you have to say. Yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you do. No, you're going to care now. It's done.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: The time is done.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: You had your time.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: We don't play your little games.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: The time is done.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Jake Ottinger, this season is 2-1-1.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Those are keys to the game. Brought to you by
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Johnson Auto Plaza with a huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and Jeep all in one place. Experience the power of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: His two wins are both shutouts.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: He's averaging giving up less than a goal per contest
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: at 0.74.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: But the Dallas Stars can't score right now.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: So if you get to three as the highest scoring
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: team in the league, if you get to three, you're
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: going to win.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Get to three. That means get in Ottinger's kitchen. Get
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: on him. Get up in him. Get up in there.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Get up in there. Somebody on the text line says,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: if Bo Nix throws for over 225 yards on Thursday,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Vic promises to drink an energy drink on Friday. I'll
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: do that. What's the number?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: 225?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Can we get it up to 250, or is that
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: too much?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Well, Bo Nix this season. Give me one second here, Vic.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Let me check this out. Because he has had multiple
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: games in which he has not thrown for 200 yards
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: That 123, by the way, the second fewest of his career.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: 39 starts.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: He has hit 225 yards. Once this season, it was
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville where he had 288. So four out of five, Vic,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: have not gotten to 225 passing yards.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I'll do it for him. I'll get all spastic if
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: he hits that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You know what I would love? I would love Bo
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Nix to run for 20 yards.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Can you just run?
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I just watched Josh Allen run for 120 yards last
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: night by just making something happen.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: And he puts his head down, too, at the end.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: He's plowing, guys.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I don't need that.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: No, I know you don't, but I was just talking
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: to somebody yesterday about this. Big Bronco fan. Like, Bo
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Nix is going to be fine.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, is he?
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: He goes, oh yeah, he's going to be totally fine.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, okay.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: He said, but why doesn't he run anymore? I said,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know why he doesn't run anymore. He doesn't
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: run and they don't design plays for him to run anymore.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Um, Two things here.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Number one, somebody said it's going to be poor weather
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. I see 66.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Wait, not Sunday. That's Thursday.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 50 and rainy. Not great conditions.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: What?
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: High of 50 tomorrow.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Broseph.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: What about on Thursday?
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: What about my flip flops?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: It's 49 and rainy. It's going to be like that
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: the next two days. Now, uh, Vic, how about this
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: for a deal?
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: If he hits 225 yards, then you drink the energy drink.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Motion's got to give up something.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: If he hits 300 yards, you have to do crack
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: live on the air.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Well, an energy drink is like crack to me. I'll
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: tell you what, Brett's going to go scare up some
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: meth for you, okay? Nothing goes in this tank. And
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: you just got to hork meth during the show.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: One crack rock is all you need to do.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: It's all I need to see.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Mosher, if he throws for 300. Yeah. Three sheets, as
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: you would say. If he throws for three sheets.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: What do you want? You have to promise never. To
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: wear your flip-flops again. Oh, I can't do that.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: For the rest of football season.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I'm the king of the flip-flop.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Whose flip-floppings these are?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Whose is the flip-flops these are?
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: You have way too many. Way too many flip-flops.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Just do what I do and just put your socks
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: on your feet. What's the difference between the flip-flops and
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the slides? Because I put my socks on and then
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I put them in slides. You can't put socks on
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: with flip-flops. That's the point.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Get slides.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Um anyway i i'm gonna go back to this i
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: can feel i can feel it creeping guys i i
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: just know it people are having with mckenzie blackwood some
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: forgive vibes right now that i want to dispel immediately
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: and i gotta be honest moj i kind of feel
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it too i'm not confident with black well.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: What about his confidence moj because last year he was
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: supposed to be Goalie number one, and obviously he had
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: to share those duties. He came into this season more prepared, injury-free,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: and he's already given up a couple big numbers. So
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: his confidence, this is a big move for him next
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: couple games.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: I completely agree. I mean, the coach that I want
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: to see, you know, we need a couple saves that
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: you're not expected to make. I completely agree with that.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, that game the other night against Toronto, take
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: the empty netter aside, could it have been a 5-5? Listen,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: it would have been a 5-5 game if you don't
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: ring it off the crossbar with two empty nets staring
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: you in the face. Nate Natchez did it, and Kadri
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: did it. Now, one of those was a 6-on-4 situation,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: but we'll call it a 5-5 game, and then who
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: knows what the hell happens. And that's with Bobrovsky making
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: a ton of saves in the second period above expected. Yeah,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: I know. You more than doubled your attempts at the net.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: You more than doubled your chances. I just don't want them.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: You couldn't pull out a point.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want them losing games because when this happens,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it drives me nuts. When there's a giant chasm between
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: your shots, your opponent's shots, and you shoot them out
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: at a 40 to 22 or something like that, and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: you lose, that drives me insane.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Just absolutely.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: And I know there's, like, good scoring chances or high
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: scoring chances, whatever you want to call it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: High danger.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: High danger chances, whatever. Bottom line is, when somebody makes
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: 38 saves on 40 shots and you make 19 saves
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: on 23, that drives me nuts.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, Moj, is this the finals? Are the
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Stars moving? Are they moving to that suburb? They're supposed
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: to move, yeah. North, is it... Not Frisco, is it? Yeah,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: it's a Frisco. Because the Mavericks are moving. The Stars
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: are moving. They play in the same building now. So
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: they're going to be in two different buildings? Is that
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: what's happening? They hate each other, by the way.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: They do?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: The new owners of the Mavericks. And now, I have nothing.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: And now, I have nothing.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been in an argument about that building for
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: an awfully long time.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: But they don't like each other.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: And I... For whatever reason, Stars won out of downtown.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know what they're going to do with American
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: Airlines Arena when both teams want to go someplace.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Else, but that's a gigantic arena, and it's really nice.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Dallas is going to be one of those
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: cities where all the sports teams are long drives. Everything's
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: so far apart.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: It's so weird.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: It is weird. You could hit a rock.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: If you stood at Union Station, you'd throw a rock,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and you could hit Coors Field, Ball Arena.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Or Mile High. They're all right there.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Um, now we have a couple more days to talk
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: about this Broncos and, and Seahawks game. Um, what's your feeling?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I know it's all going to be dependent on like
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: sort of how it looks, but what's your feeling if
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: they lose this game and the offense looks bad. If
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you get both, if you get one of those, not
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: even like a blowout, if you get one of those
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: like 20 to 13 losses, to.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Be honest with you, it won't be that much different
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: than winning the game over the weekend. And the offense
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: looked bad. If the offense looks bad, you know, it's bad.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: If they win the game with the offense bad, I
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: have to train my mind into understanding how and what
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: they are. And this is what they are.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: How would you feel if they lost like the Rams
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: last night? High scoring game. You get a field goal blocked.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: You know, we were talking to Ryan Harris about that.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: He's like, what do you want to win? Or do
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: you want to, do you want a fancy loss?
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: I just want to see them break. I want to win.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: So do I, but I'd like to see them break
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: out of their show. Why can't we do both?
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: If the offense came out of its cocoon and blossomed
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: into a big, explosive playoff offense, I'd be pretty excited
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: about that, to be honest with you.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: And to do it against that team, too.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: If you get some offensive production against that Seattle defense,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: that sort of doubles. Again, it's not just playing good
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: teams the first six weeks of the season. It's playing
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: really good defenses. And so that is a factor in
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: all this, but a lot more to break down as
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: we got a couple more days until Thursday night football.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Avs in stars tonight, 6.30.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I just looked it up.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: The top contenders for the world's most beautiful butterfly, because
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Vic said they got to metamorphosize out of this cocoon.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: It's known as the Blue Morpho, South and Central America.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Did you say mofo?
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: It's a blue mofo.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: It's a blue mofo. Look at that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Beautiful blue mofo.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: That's a great, you know what? I'll never forget that now.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: What's your favorite butterfly?
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Which is asked to me all the.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Time, by the way.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get that a lot. That's a big ask.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody wants to go monarch, but how about
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the blue mofo?
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite food?
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: What's your favorite color?
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite butterfly? Funny you should ask.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: It's the blue mofo.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Anyways, iTunes, Spotify, Mojo, Lombardi, and Kane have a wonderful Tuesday.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: See you.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
