1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Somebody asking if the uh if the cheerleaders, if I 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: was trying out for them, they had any kind of 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: flannel outfits for me. 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 2: That's a good question. Wow, I hadn't considered that. 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I might intrigue and interest went up a 6 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: couple of points if that was an option. 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would. 8 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 4: I would want to be there to offer my support 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 4: for you. 10 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: I know you would. 11 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 3: I know you would. I would. 12 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. 13 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I didn't go, you know, on a snowy day. You 14 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: think flannel. I did not go flannel today. I just uh, yeah, 15 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: most whatever. The wife bought me this, and so I thought, 16 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, shut off. Yeah, she dresses me. 17 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 5: Do you buy any of your own I do not. Seriously, No, 18 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 5: she she dresses me. I'm okay with it. Does she 19 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 5: pack your bags when you guys go on a trip, No, 20 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 5: I would. 21 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 3: Did she ever wear your pants? 22 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: I'll get back to you. No, she uh my hoodies sometimes. 23 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I got a collection of hoodies and she'll wear those sometimes. 24 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: But no. 25 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: Hi, but I know exactly where you're going at that. 26 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 4: Well, well, as long as she doesn't, it's okay. 27 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: We'll touch back on the ads. 28 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: Big move today, getting nos Caadre we'll get to that 29 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: here in just a little bit, but I want to 30 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: riunt out this conversation we're having on the wide receivers. 31 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: So philosophically, why do you think, Dave, that the Broncos 32 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: have a mindset of we're just going to continue to 33 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: draft and develop and keep the guys in the room. 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 2: You mentioned cost control. I think it's a very good one. 35 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: But when for a lot of Broncos fans it's like, hey, 36 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: this is your window, you know, go all in. You 37 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: could have theoretically, you could have AJ Brown. There's a 38 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: price tag you could pay it. Maybe it's high, but 39 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: you could pay it. You could have Davante Adams last year. 40 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: You could have loaded up at that position, even if 41 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you were spending number one in the league like the 42 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. 43 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: I don't think you. 44 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 4: I don't necessarily agree you could have had Davante Adams. Okay, 45 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: but but the AJ Brown, I would say that in 46 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 4: that position, I think you have to be more careful, 47 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: excuse me, more careful maybe any other position in football, 48 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 4: that you bring the right kind of guy into the room, 49 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 4: because it is it is a position of frustration. 50 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: It's just part of the deal. 51 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: You always, you know, everybody that's ever played that position 52 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 4: of the NFL, nate, I don't care who it is. 53 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 3: They want the ball. And so how. 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 4: You like mentally handle the fact that you might go 55 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: through a stretch of time where you're not getting the ball, 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: you're not getting targets. How you handle that is really 57 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: important and some do it better than others. 58 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: And I would say this some guys. 59 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 4: I so, in other words, the Broncos room from a 60 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 4: character standpoint, from a handling adversity standpoint, from a we're 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: not going to act like a bunch of divas standpoint, 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: I think the room is terrific. So for this more 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: of a person Nowture, I think that is part of 64 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: their formula. 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 3: And I mean, you got to be able to play, and. 66 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 4: You can't go higher like four guys off the street 67 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: and they're just great guys and great character guys and 68 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: we'll do whatever we want and we'll play specially, but 69 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: they can't play. 70 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: You got to be able to play. 71 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: And all those guys can play, but I think they 72 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 4: I think the other factors that I mentioned are maybe 73 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: more important to the Broncos than some teams. 74 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 3: And I got to be honest, about it. I have 75 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: plawed that. 76 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: What's your take on it? Yeah, the AJ Brown thing? 77 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 5: I mean, how Sean Payton gonna like it when AJ 78 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 5: Brown doesn't get a target in the first half and 79 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 5: sits on the bench reading a book, because that's what 80 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 5: he was doing in Philly, and Philly was doing well. 81 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: He's definitely a malcontent, you know. 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 5: And I think the East though of this team has 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 5: to be what Dave said, be willing to do whatever 84 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 5: it takes to win. 85 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: You know. 86 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: Rod Smith, who comes in here, talks about the pride 87 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 5: of being a run blocker, you know, and and how 88 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 5: when we win, everyone wins. It doesn't matter how many 89 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 5: balls you catch if we're winning, that's the formula, right, 90 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: And so AJ Brown has shown himself to not buy 91 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 5: into that philosophy. 92 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: Well, okay, but we're we're singling out AJ Brown and 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: from what you guys are saying about the culture and 94 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: the personality that you're looking for there. But we also 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: just got done talking about all the drops, and we 96 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: have also been talking about his drops. Oh okay, but 97 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: he's also shown the ability to perform at a higher 98 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: level than anybody else in the room. Like he's done that, 99 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: He's taken over games. And I can't think of many 100 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: times that I can say that about most of these 101 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: guys in the room. So it's it's not even being 102 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: completely down on them. It's just to acknowledge, like, Hey, 103 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: are we in this window or not? Are we going 104 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: all in quote unquote or not? And I think for 105 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: some Broncos fans out there, the signal of we're rolling 106 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: forward with the same guys again doesn't feel that way. 107 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: That's what this is about. So that's what I mad 108 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: so Ajes an example up. 109 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 5: I think they will upgrade the room. Okay, I think 110 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 5: they'll add to the room. I think more important is 111 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 5: the tight end position, in my opinion, to get a 112 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 5: guy or a couple of guys in that room that 113 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 5: make the offense better. Maybe add you know, running back 114 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 5: as well. I think they will add one wide receiver 115 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 5: to the room. But that's they're young players too, right, 116 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 5: I mean Pat Bryant's going into a second year, Troy 117 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 5: Franklin his third year, Marvin Mims is fourth. 118 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear that argument for sure. 119 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah and so, and that's their philosophical view is these 120 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: are young players developing. 121 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 5: But Courtland Sutton, who is the elder statesman in that room. 122 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: He's the highest paid guy, he's the number one receiver. 123 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: He needs to set a better standard himself as well 124 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 5: and hold guys to account. I mean, you know, if 125 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 5: there's drops happen in the room and it becomes a problem, 126 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 5: Cortland's got to stand in front of that room and 127 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 5: talk about how important it is, you know, Like you know, 128 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 5: Rod Smith was a great leader because he would call 129 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 5: guys out if they were making those mistakes. And so 130 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 5: we never would make those mistakes. And if we did, 131 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 5: we're staying after practice and hitting the jugs and do 132 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: it extra stuff to make sure that doesn't happen. It 133 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: becomes a point of emphasis. And when you make it 134 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 5: a point of emphasis, it does change, you know, Like 135 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 5: it actually does change when you say, okay, we are 136 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 5: going to focus on ball security this week because we're 137 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 5: putting the ball on the. 138 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: Ground too much. 139 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 5: So every day I practice, all the defensive players are 140 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 5: trying to punch it out. And if they punch it out, 141 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 5: you all them one hundred dollars, and you know that 142 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 5: whole thing. You turn it into a game, and all 143 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 5: of a sudden you see improvement. It really does happen. 144 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 5: And today's point, like if the ball is going get 145 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 5: is is hitting the ground too much? It has to 146 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 5: be a point of emphasis in that room and at 147 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 5: the team at large to end that. I mean, these 148 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 5: guys are not going to cast a ball, So is 149 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 5: it a mental lamp? 150 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: So are they not putting the work? I don't know 151 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: what it is. 152 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 4: What's your take on that, Dave, Well, I've already I mean, 153 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 4: I'm I mean, I've pretty much addressed it. I just 154 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: I just think there has to be a there has 155 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 4: to be a real there has to be a real 156 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: sense of pride, yeah, in how you go about your craft, 157 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 4: and everybody's a professional, all those guys are talented. 158 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: There has to be. 159 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 4: Like it almost has to be hunger Games mentality when 160 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 4: it comes to I'm you know, I'm going to go 161 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 4: get that ball. If I have to, I'll do whatever 162 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 4: I have to do to catch it. And I think 163 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: part of it is the league has changed a lot, 164 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 4: obviously from where when I played, even from when they played. 165 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: The ball's in the air a lot more, right, So 166 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: you might have a drop or two and still get 167 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: eleven targets back sort of in a different era. If 168 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 4: you had. I mean, you just weren't going to see 169 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: the ball. Like you drop a ball. There's other good 170 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: receivers on the team, and you you might get frozen 171 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: out for the remainder of the game. 172 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 5: Did you wear gloves No, Nope. Imagine imagine how you 173 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 5: would have caught that ball with those gloves. So those 174 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 5: Spider Man gloves these guys have, they're still dropping it. Yeah, 175 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 5: it's really I mean, it's tacky. 176 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 4: It's such a tacky surface of the gloves now makes 177 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: it you know, it's it's an advantage for that, I think. Also, 178 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 4: you know, and and part of it is is its 179 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 4: ball placement. Part of it is you know, I mean, 180 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: you know, Bow made a throw. He was really upset 181 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: about that throw to Pat Bryant. But I'll tell you what, 182 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 4: I gained immense respect for Bryant because he was gonna 183 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: go get that. I think Pat Bryant got more tick 184 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: as the season went on. Battled through a couple of 185 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 4: hamstring injuries, but you know, he was accountable. Obviously tough 186 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: in the running game, but he'd catch a tough ball. 187 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: It takes a little bit of like. 188 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: Stuff in the neck to run across across the middle 189 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 4: and you know, as you're looking for the ball, you 190 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: can kind of take a peek quick, but you know 191 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 4: what's in there. There's there's there's a danger of going 192 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 4: in there, and you go in there and catch that 193 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: ball and take a shot. 194 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: Man, it is such a. 195 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 4: It doesn't feel good, but it's such an adrenaline left 196 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 4: for your team. 197 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: It's like everybody's like, you know, that's let's go. You know. 198 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: So I expect them to be better this year. I 199 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: really do. 200 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 4: I just think it comes down to and I agree 201 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: with Nate too, in terms of the leadership in the room. 202 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 4: You got to be accountable to the guys that sit 203 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 4: in that room with you every single day. 204 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: The there's a report today that Howie Roseman turned down 205 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: a first and a third offer from the Patriots now 206 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: or a J. 207 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: Brown? 208 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, for a J. Brown? I believe for this city. 209 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: That's how Howie Roseman a first and a third for 210 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: a J. Brown. 211 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 5: That feels it feels pretty steep. Didn't they let Stefan 212 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 5: Diggs go today too? 213 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: Yeah? 214 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: The Patriots did. 215 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 216 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: So the Patriots are like, we need a receiver, and 217 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: they certainly are like the Broncos where they view themselves 218 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: in their way. I mean, they were just in the 219 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so they have to view themselves in that window, 220 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: and they don't have a true one. 221 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 3: I gotta be honest about it. I find that. 222 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: Near shocking that the Patriots would release Stefan Diggs and 223 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 4: then offer a one in three for AJ Brown's right 224 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 4: and you could assigned Stefan Diggs and capture one to three. 225 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 3: Yes, I don't. I don't get that. 226 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: You don't think there's much of a discrepancy between Digs 227 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: and I mean, Algie Brown is a much. 228 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: More physical receiver. He's probably a better red zone threat. 229 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: You know, he's I've seen him really good after the catch. 230 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: He's two hundred and twenty five pounds. He's not the 231 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: easiest guy to get in the ground for defensive backs. 232 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 4: I've seen him in stretches where he looks like a 233 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 4: dominant receiver, but then I've seen him, you know, where 234 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 4: he doesn't. 235 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 3: So I would not. 236 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 4: If on the Broncos, I certainly would not give up 237 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: a one and a three for aj Brown under any circumstances. 238 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 5: I mean I would be more than that. Like he said, no, 239 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 5: I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either, And and Stefan Diggs 240 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 5: and A J. Brown had very comparable seasons, pretty much 241 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 5: the same statistical seasons. So it's it's an interesting play 242 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 5: that they heard letting Stefan Diggs go, and they want 243 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 5: a J. 244 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 3: Brown. 245 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 5: But Stefan Diggs had a some drama at the super Bowl. 246 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 5: He did Cardi b and some other baby mamas. 247 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then that's the situation with the chef, with 248 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: the strangulation and all that. 249 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: I mean, the. 250 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 5: Situation with the strangulation. 251 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you mean you didn't hear about that? 252 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 5: He strangled as chef? 253 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? 254 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 5: Who hasn't at one time or another I strangled their chefs. 255 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: I mean, you don't kill him. 256 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: The sue flag was overdone. I mean it is a felony, 257 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: you know. 258 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: But a Yeah, So whatever happened with that? Did that ever? 259 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: The NFL they pushed it, and then they pushed it 260 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: till after the season. 261 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 3: I beout the chef doesn't appreciate that. 262 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure the chef does not. 263 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: Was it I'm asking for a female? Wait it was 264 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 4: a email chef? They strangled her? 265 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he don't want them around. 266 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: Now. 267 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: Notice the show, we have not been pounding the table 268 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: to bring in stuff. 269 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: Well, and I wasn't even aware of the story. 270 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they What did Cardi. 271 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: B say about that? 272 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what Cardi B said about it, but 273 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: I just say that, yeah, he's he's got he said. 274 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: In terms of some of the super Bowl ticketing seating. 275 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 5: Well, I guess like he unbeknownst to her, he had 276 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 5: also secured some front row seats for another female in 277 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 5: his life, and and so she's up in the suite 278 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 5: and then there's his other girlfriend down there. 279 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: And I think he called it diversification, but maybe, you know, 280 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 4: maybe maybe not a. 281 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: Good allegedly called diversification. 282 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean if you invest like right, you 283 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 4: don't want to put them all back by stock exon 284 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: oil only, right, That would be a bad decision. Yeah, No, 285 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 4: you have to diversify the investment fisically speaking, I mean 286 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 4: from an investment standpoint, it's a smart investment strategy. 287 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: I think. 288 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: So, speaking of smart investment strategies, we talked about a 289 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: bit in the first hour. It's my segue nots Cadre 290 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: that we're all pretty fired up. Imagine a lot of 291 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: as fans around on that. What do you think that 292 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: will do for the locker room like almost a sort 293 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: of a shot in the arm immediate. 294 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 2: I mean, they're already number one, but. 295 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 4: I would guess so, I mean, you know, the core 296 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 4: group are still here, right, they know what NAS brought 297 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: them and certainly brought them in the playoffs the Stanley 298 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 4: Cup year. So I would have to think that. I mean, 299 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: you always hate to lose teammates, but to add Law 300 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 4: and then to add Cadre as well, I would have 301 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 4: to think it's a shot in the arm. 302 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: Well. 303 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: And this thing is, as we were talking about in 304 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: the first hour, the Apps are gonna They're obviously a 305 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: playoff team either way. They're probably in finishing first in 306 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: the division. But the point of it here is is 307 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: what are you in the postseason and all the moves 308 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: you have to make in order to set yourself up 309 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: for success. So this is a third line center that 310 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: you added, and that that's obviously important thing. But I 311 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: think more than anything is now with the addition of 312 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: Nick Waugh, as you mentioned from the Maple leafs Now 313 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: he slots in there as a fourth line center, you 314 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: might be one of the best teams entering the postseason 315 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: at that position, which is a big deal. 316 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: So I mean, I think you have to you have 317 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: to look at yourself as the favorite fellas. This is, 318 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: this is our Stanley Cup. We just have to we 319 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: have to be ready and when the time comes to 320 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: get sixteen of those wins, we gotta we gotta go 321 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 4: get it. 322 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: This this is our year. 323 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 5: And him walking back into the locker room just accentuates 324 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 5: that point. 325 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 326 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 5: Here we had the hat trick on the road. Lewis Louis. Yeah, 327 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 5: there was all that drama around it, and he yeah, 328 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 5: is a big middle finger at every there. 329 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things like sometimes you bring 330 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: back a player. As you mentioned, he's been gone for 331 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: several years. Now, what was this He's been two Yeah, 332 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: so Calgary yep, yep, four years. 333 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: So he's been gone for a little bit. 334 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: But he's still I mean, obviously he still can play, 335 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: and he's making a really big contract. And now we 336 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: found out after the fact that the Calgary's going to 337 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: eat twenty percent of this deal, which is I think 338 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: part of the reason why they initially said no. We 339 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: had reports last night that Calgary, their ownership, had stepped 340 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: in because the deal was done and said we're not 341 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: going to do this because we don't want to eat 342 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: any of the money they've. 343 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: Come back to the pack. 344 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: They were able to get the deal done, but for 345 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: what Nas represents, and the question I guess I have 346 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: for you guys is is maybe, because you know, he's 347 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: been in the league since two thousand and nine, so 348 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: he's been been around a long time, he doesn't even 349 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: have to be the same player as far as his 350 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: on ice production to give the team a boost. Would 351 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: you say that's a fair statement, Nate, Yeah, but he's 352 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: a he's still got to produce. Yeah, I mean, like, 353 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: so far in the season, he's got twelve goals, twenty 354 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: nine sists, forty one total points. Right, but Calgary's not 355 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: a great team, so you know he's minus twenty seven. 356 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to put that completely on him 357 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: as far as. 358 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: His plus minus. 359 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm just going to say, like, I think that he 360 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: can still be a very effective player, even if he's 361 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: not one hundred percent of what you had four years ago. 362 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 5: Certainly, but you know, the memory is of him being 363 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 5: a playmaker, and so I think that you know, that's 364 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 5: the expectation that he should have of himself coming in, 365 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 5: and I think that's why they got him because they 366 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: know what he did for the team before. They know 367 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: what he meant to the team and their Stanley Cup run, 368 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 5: And so I think they're the reason why they traded 369 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 5: him is because they're they're hoping expecting him to have 370 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 5: that same sort of impact on a game, and it 371 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: could be as simple as a well timed goal. You know, 372 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be huge numbers, but clutch performances. 373 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: When they need him the most, Plusto may free up 374 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: their power play a bit. 375 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: That's a great point. 376 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 4: Obviously, AVS fans know that's that's been problematic this year. 377 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: To put it nicely, but nicely, Calgary, by the way, 378 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: you want to how how how far apart these two 379 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: teams are in the standings. I mean it's central versus 380 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: specific but the As have ninety one total points, Calgary's 381 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: got fifty five. So again, you know his plus minus 382 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll give him credit for this though 383 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: the last three seasons, so then you know he's halfway 384 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: through the season, or more than halfway through the season, 385 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: he played all eight to two games like he has 386 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: been at this point in his career. To be out 387 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: there every single every single game, knowing that you're skating 388 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: for a bad team. I mean, I gotta give a 389 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: lot of credit for that. It's like you're you're paying 390 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: you seven million per year and you're out there every 391 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: single game, whether you're good or not. 392 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: I have a lot of respect for that. 393 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 4: Speaking of being out there, as I segue, Jason Tatum, Yeah, 394 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 4: makes his return tonight. 395 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 3: That that of course he he Tori's achilles. It was 396 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 3: in uh I believe it was in May last year 397 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 3: in May. 398 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 4: So he is back playing in an NBA game in 399 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 4: what would that be nine months or I'd be a 400 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: little bit less than nine months, which is almost unheard of. 401 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 3: That's like Adrian Peterson stuff. 402 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 5: Why do you think the healing time is speeding up 403 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 5: for guys now? 404 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: Are they? 405 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 5: Is it like advanced treatments and pet tides and all 406 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 5: these things. 407 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 3: I have to think that's part of it, don't you. 408 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, and probably you know some some better awareness as 409 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 5: to what the proper course of rehab is for the guys. 410 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 5: And and then the surgeries themselves are better now, I mean, their. 411 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 4: Surgeries have to be better. The the as you said, 412 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: the forms of rehab they know more, so they're they're 413 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 4: better at it. And that, But that's I mean, to 414 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 4: play in an NBA game less than nine months after 415 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 4: you tear your achilles tendon. 416 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 2: And two hundred ninety eight days to be exact. 417 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 3: Is that? 418 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 4: Is that? 419 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 3: What it is?

It seems like this snows dying down a 474 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: little bit, though I don't know. I think that's that's 475 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: a mirage.

Because Gino's contract was two 526 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: or seventy five? 527 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 3: Was it in Christian wilkins door. 528 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: Yes, Christian Wilkins walked away with forty nine point eight 529 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: million dollars. 530 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 3: Wow. 531 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: Wow, And I can't even remember how the games he played? 532 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: He thought Mark Davis serious lyamfire and somebody on that deal, right, 533 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: somebody's going. 534 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna see how many. I don't even does he 535 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: even play in the league anymore? 536 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: Christian Wilkins. I don't think he played it. I think 537 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 4: he does, I don't think. 538 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 2: I don't think he doesn't have to. 539 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: Right, he's good. He played five games. Wow, he appeared 540 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: in five games. 541 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: And there was something. 542 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 4: About something he did in the locker room that right, 543 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 4: you try to kiss somebody. 544 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 2: Or to kiss somebody, Yeah, you're right, like kiss one. 545 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 3: Of the linebackers and the linebackers. 546 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little unusual. 547 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: Forty and a half million. 548 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 549 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: The next one is Matt Ryan thirty six point seven 550 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: million one year with Indianapolis. 551 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: I forgot about. Oh yeah, he Indy teddy. 552 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: Bridge in twenty twenty with Carolina thirty one million, Trey 553 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: Wayns with Cincinnati twenty twenty one, Nick Foles, A lot 554 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks on this one. The Broncos show up here 555 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: at number seventeen with case Keenum twenty two million on 556 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: a one and done. 557 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: He was a one and done. I remember that. 558 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: Yep, we gave him twenty two million and just said 559 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: thanks for the memories. 560 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 2: And then two more times here for the Broncos. 561 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: Now one of them is kind of weird because I 562 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: guess it technically was a one and done. But number 563 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: twenty six is Joe Flacco with eighteen point five Remember 564 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: when when John always stood up in front of everybody 565 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: and said he's still in his prime? 566 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 3: I don't remember it. Did he say that? Yeah? Did he? Okay? Yeah, 567 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: because I had conveniently forgot. 568 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: Lean Sports Talk Land or like, wait, what did you 569 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: just say that? And then the next one is Juwan James. 570 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that one was rough yeah, eighteen point two million. 571 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 4: I remember my postgame interview with Joe Flacco in the 572 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 4: what game is that? The Indie game? 573 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 2: The Indie game? Yes, where where he got mad at 574 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator. 575 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 3: Oh, was that if we're not going to try to win? 576 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we do? 577 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: What are we doing? Yeah? 578 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: Like as soon as he said that, I'm like, yeah, yeah, 579 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: I said this is going to be something, and. 580 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: Then suddenly he was not available for us this tea. 581 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: That's right. That was the last interview that he did postgame. 582 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's uh. 583 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Again, not a list that anybody really wants to be 584 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: on the Broncos fortunately. I mean everybody talks about the 585 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: biggest dead cap hit in history. The Miami Dolphins are 586 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: probably top that though. I think they're going to be 587 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: close to one hundred million with Tua. 588 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 3: Was that it one and done? Though? 589 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: No, No, he's not one. I'm saying, what dead cap hits? 590 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: Okay, like the biggest dead cap hits yeah in uh, 591 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: in history. 592 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: Again, this is like this quarterback thing. 593 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 5: You know, It's like you're looking for your and then 594 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 5: you jump the gun thinking you found him, and then 595 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 5: you pay him and then he doesn't pay out it 596 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: happens a lot, probably more often than it doesn't, you know, 597 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 5: because quarterbacks are looked at through the lens of do 598 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 5: you win championships? Do you win playoff games? And most don't. 599 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 5: Most of them don't, that's right, even the good ones, 600 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 5: you know. And so I think the quarterback is overpaid, 601 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: and I think there's well, of course you're saying that, 602 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 5: but I do one guy should make sixty million dollars 603 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 5: when you got other guys making under a million dollars 604 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: who are doing much more violent, dirty work than that quarterback. 605 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 5: And I understand he has a bigger responsibility because he 606 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 5: distributes the ball every play, but sixty times. 607 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: That, but you also know what you are without one 608 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: of those guys, right, well, yes to no? 609 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: I mean, would he still be performing the job as 610 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 5: well if he made forty million dollars? 611 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: I literally ask you this. 612 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: Dave, because I I've always wondered this, Are we ever 613 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: going to hit a bubble with the quarterbacks? Because it 614 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: is it going to ever burst where we say nobody's 615 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: gonna make the next tier of sixty to seventy million, Because. 616 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 4: The only time, the only time I would say that 617 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: that would be possible is if the NFL hits a 618 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 4: bubble with TV revenue, if TV stations at TV stations, 619 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 4: if TV networks ever get to the point where it's 620 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 4: like it doesn't make sense to commit a billion dollars 621 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 4: or more with a B That's the only way that 622 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: I can see it, because that position. 623 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 3: You know, I agree with Nata one hand. 624 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: I think there are other positions that are severely underpaid 625 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 4: by NFL standards. I know, not not by regular people 626 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 4: listening to the show, but by NFL standards. But I 627 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 4: also believe you can't you can't win unless you have 628 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 4: one of those guys. You just you might win a 629 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 4: game here, in a game there, but you can't sustain. 630 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: Winning unless you have one of them. 631 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Nate, No, but I agree with that. 632 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: I agree. 633 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 5: But I'm saying, like, Okay, so if you have that guy, 634 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 5: but you pay him forty instead of sixty, you have 635 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 5: an extra twenty million to pay other guys that you 636 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 5: might not be able to pay, and then your team 637 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 5: is even better and that guy becomes even better. You 638 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 5: called me a communist, Yeah, I mean, I guess there's 639 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 5: a little communism there. So forty million dollars a year 640 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 5: would still be you'd be able to put food on 641 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 5: the table if you just distribute the wealth. 642 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 3: So what about even after Texas? What about the union? 643 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 5: You know, what about a percentage of the salary cap 644 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 5: that the quarterback's room can't exceed. 645 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 4: Fifteen percent? What about that? You know, you know what 646 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 4: they would do before they'd cut the starters pay. You'd 647 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 4: have the backup quarterback and the guy on the practice squad. 648 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: Making absolute minimum. 649 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 4: Right, yes, whatever, the veteran minimum, how many years you 650 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 4: played for? All right, what are the veteran men of them? 651 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 4: For a four year quarterback, that's what you're making. 652 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: So there you go. 653 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 5: You just took money out of the other guys. 654 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: Off their table. I'm not really mad if. 655 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 5: I'm taking money from the backup quarterback and giving it 656 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 5: to a linebacker, a running back, a special teams player, 657 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: the other guys who are making this team work too, 658 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 5: because those guys do actually more than the backup quarterback does. 659 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: We have Jared stid them on the hot line here. 660 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 5: If Jared's making ten million a year, that's pretty darn it. Okay, 661 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 5: he's going all right. 662 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: One game, gosh, he's earned it though, Okay, a couple 663 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: of great games tonight.

I did see it was questionable for Cam Johnson. 671 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play.
