1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,640
Speaker 1: As we head out to the Kawe Common Spirit Health

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: high Line and bring on roy Bean ROMI always good

3
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: to catch up with you. How are you?

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what.

5
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 3: I'm better now.

6
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Guys, we appreciate you. Go us a few minutes.

7
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: So just to start there, right, we were talking about

8
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: football in the elements. We heard from Greg Pinner after

9
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the season saying working in with conjunction with the NFL

10
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: the league, they would have likely had the roof, the

11
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: retractable roof up over the game in the AFC championship games.

12
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Some Broncos fans have pushed back, saying, no, no, no, football

13
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: should be in the elements. You got Nate Jackson over here,

14
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: old man Jackson, who's saying that it should be in

15
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: the elements.

16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: I don't know where do you come down and all that?

17
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: You know what?

18
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 4: You know what's funny about this is I feel conflicted

19
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 4: because I've always.

20
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: Been like, no football in the elements. Like play it,

21
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: you got to play it with the weather and all

22
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: of that. So there's a piece of me that loves

23
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: football in the elements. For example, I like that Buffalo

24
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: is going to make sure that the field is still

25
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: you know, that feels very Buffalo, and I'm okay with that.

26
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: But I think at the same time, like when you

27
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: look at the AFC Championship game, I don't look at

28
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: it as all the Roncoes would have won if there

29
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: wasn't snow.

30
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 3: But essentially I think the product would have been better

31
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: if there wasn't if there wasn't that snow. So I

32
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: think there's like I think there's time and place.

33
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: I'm okay with the elements and playing in the elements,

34
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: but I'm also okay with.

35
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 3: It's going to be a blizzard and it's going to

36
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: be an awful.

37
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: Game and maybe the best team is not going to

38
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 4: win because you just you don't get.

39
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: A good product on the field. I've become more progressive.

40
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: I'm more okay with them closing the roof in those

41
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 4: situations so that we get a really good product. And

42
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: you know, I feel like you got to balance it sometimes,

43
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: you know, let's let the snow come.

44
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 3: Down in November.

45
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: But in a winner take all AFC Championship game, I

46
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: think I've actually changed my opinion and I'd be okay

47
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 4: with a closed roof.

48
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 5: Okay, Roby, Well, let me ask you this question from

49
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: a sort of a different perspective. What if it was

50
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: the Miami Dolphins coming into town, who have notoriously had

51
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 5: a hard time playing cold weather, would you employ some

52
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: gamesmanship when it came to deciding whether or not to

53
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 5: close it.

54
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think absolutely.

55
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: I think one of the interesting things about this season

56
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: was the Broncos were almost at a disadvantage with the

57
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: weather because we had this unseasoned, unseasoned, nobly nice fall

58
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: and winter.

59
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 3: So normally the snowy weather that would have been a competitive.

60
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 4: Advantage, but we've had such a warm, warm, year that

61
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: it almost turned out to be a disadvantage.

62
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: Though the Patriots who played that really didn't really have

63
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: much to say about it either, So yes, I agree.

64
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 4: Go back to that Kansas City game. The Miami team

65
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: literally froze and couldn't move in that playoff game, So

66
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: I'm here for the gamesmanship. Hence why I like the

67
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: Buffalo is making sure that the field can still get

68
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: the sound.

69
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: What's been the reaction so far from them from what

70
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: you've seen of Broncos fans about the new stadium and

71
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: going in down there at Burnham Yard.

72
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think everybody's excited about it, and I think

73
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: a big reason people. At least the perception I've got is.

74
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 4: So excited about it is because up to this point,

75
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: the Walton Penner group have done everything the right way.

76
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: You even go back to that first season when they

77
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: were like the grass for one game, and so I

78
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: think fans have a lot of confidence and excitement about

79
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 4: what's going to be built and feel like it's going

80
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: to be built in a way that favors them and

81
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 4: the gamesmanship and the game to experience, and you know,

82
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: I obviously I think privately.

83
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: Funding it goes a really long way, because that's just

84
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: I think for a lot of fans. You look at

85
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: some of these other teams where they're look at Kansas

86
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: City and they're moving.

87
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: To a different state, and they're asking for a lot

88
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 4: of tax payer money. So I think that just the Walton.

89
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: Penns has done everything the right way. So people are

90
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: really excited about it.

91
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: I think the national concerns right ticket prices and the

92
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 4: seat licensing and all of those things which are TVD

93
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: what we'll find out parking.

94
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm a little curious about parking how that works out,

95
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: you know, But.

96
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: I think that I think it's going to be a destination,

97
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: not just not just football stadium.

98
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be great, and it's going

99
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: to be so great guys down the road when Denver's.

100
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: Getting Super Bowls and NCAA tournaments and all of these things.

101
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: You know, the draft, to combine all of these amazing.

102
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: Things, it's so much more going to be more than

103
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: just what happens on Sundays.

104
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, romy but what about Broncos Country?

105
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: What about the fans who have been here since the

106
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: sixties the seventies have been through the doldrums or are

107
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: the die hard fans? Are those fans going to be

108
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 5: able to participate with this team and go to games

109
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: the same way they are now?

110
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: You know, I hope so. You know, it's that part.

111
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: I think.

112
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: You know, things change, and with these new stadiums and

113
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: a lot of these things, with more sweets being available

114
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: and licensing fee than all of those things, it does change.

115
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: I think it changed when the new Mile High was

116
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: built from the old Mile High.

117
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: So you certainly hope so, because they're in the fabric of.

118
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: What Broncos Country is and who the Broncos are.

119
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say.

120
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: I hope so. But I don't know. That's expensive too. Man,

121
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: that's not a great answer.

122
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: I know, romy it's always great to catch up with you.

123
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, did you hear any of

124
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Christian Fourier. We're going to hear a sound coming up

125
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: in a little bit. You hear is Rance?

126
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: You know what I did not?

127
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Well it's pretty entertaining, but basically, he's just not

128
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: a fan of Coach Prime and he went on and

129
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: on and about how he feels like he's not a

130
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: very good coach and that he I think a lot

131
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: of frustrations really come down to just not winning. And

132
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: so I guess my question for you is how much

133
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: pressure is on Coach Prime this upcoming season to win

134
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: and show proof of concept there?

135
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: You know, I'm really curious to see. I think this

136
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: is a chance for Fernando Lovo to make his mark,

137
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: you know, one way or the other is you know,

138
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: Dion and Rick George had a very friendly relationship, but

139
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: maybe it wasn't super transactional. And a new ad comes

140
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: in and this is his chance to kind of demand

141
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: some things. And I'm looking forward.

142
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: He's a young guy, you know, I think that's probably

143
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: a tall task, but I'm looking forward to seeing how he.

144
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: Challenges, you know, coach Tryman and how he handled the situation.

145
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: But I do think there is.

146
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: A premium on winning because you know, a couple of

147
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: a lot of money to get him here. Obviously he's

148
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: brought the university a lot of money. But at the

149
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: end of the day, you know, it comes down you

150
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: got to win ball games.

151
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: And I think I'm interested to see what happens this year.

152
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 3: I think I understand the vision.

153
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: Going for instead of you know, kind of powerful retreads,

154
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 4: going for a lot more.

155
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: You know, group of five kids who want to prove themselves.

156
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: You can count on their work ethic. I can buy

157
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: into what they've done this year in the transferport of

158
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: but we'll see if it translates.

159
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, it has to translate,

160
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: because then you're getting to a point where I think

161
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of fans, a lot of people,

162
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: you know, are are tired of everything that comes with

163
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: it if.

164
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: You're not going to also supply the wins.

165
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, last one I have for you. We're debating

166
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: this in the studio. Winter Olympics or Summer Olympics. What's

167
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: your favorite?

168
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, okay, so what I love is comparing

169
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: the difference.

170
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: Between the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics.

171
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 4: Like, the Summer Olympics feel like summer camp, right, like

172
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: for who can run the.

173
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: Fastest from here to here? Who can throw this giant

174
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 3: state over here? And then Winter Olympics is like, let's

175
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: see if you can go down a death trap in

176
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: a coffin with four people at mock speed and we'll

177
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: put you on a sheet of ice and see what happens.

178
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: And you know, or the biathlon where you're competing and

179
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: then you're shooting, like, yes, I just love the concept

180
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: of the Winter Olympics. Sports are insane and I.

181
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Have to tell you this double luge has a choke

182
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: hold on me.

183
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 3: Yes, you came up. Was like, let's add a second guy,

184
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: and then my question is who decided who is the battle?

185
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: It has to be the bottom guy.

186
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: The chaos of the Winter Olympics is way more entertaining.

187
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: But you know, I got mister California over here telling

188
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: me the summer Elimpses is better.

189
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just nuts.

190
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

191
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 5: Right Wait, wait, Roman, you're going winter. You're saying winter

192
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 5: is superior to the summer Olympics.

193
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: I mean you got like every single person in the

194
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: Winter Olympics is an absolute insane adrenaline junkie. Like the

195
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: stuff they come up with, just think about it's just

196
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: like human depth traps.

197
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: But it's all just sliding down ice. Not true.

198
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: Every every Winter Olympic event is just sliding on ice

199
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 5: some different equipment, is it not?

200
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean yes and no it is.

201
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: But at the same time, I mean a lot of

202
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: Summer Olympics is running on dirt, right, No.

203
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: You get you get track and field, you get basketball,

204
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: you get swimming, you get water polo, you get all

205
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: kinds of cool Summer Olympic Games events that are a

206
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 5: lot different than sliding on ice.

207
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: I just just the concept of the Olympic I've watched

208
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: every Olympic sport and what I've said to whoever I'm

209
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 3: like with or if I'm at work, I'm like, who

210
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: came up with this event? Like, every time you watch.

211
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: An Olympic sport, I want you to think back through

212
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 4: who was thinking of this event?

213
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: Like even halfpipe, right, we're gonna have them fly flying

214
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: in air and doing a million tricks on this big

215
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: swirly sheet of ice. Who came up with all these ideas.

216
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Let's start with skateboarding though you know that's you, but.

217
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 6: But it's on ice, Yeah, which is cooler. It's like

218
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 6: way way more interesting. And to Broby's points, the more

219
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 6: chaos you have no idea what's coming next.

220
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 5: You're just a chaos agent. You just want to see.

221
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: You're just like holding your breath because when they take crashes, they're.

222
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: Like they're terrifying, right, So yeah, it's just like an

223
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: adrenaline rush for you to make sure they.

224
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: Can make it down safe.

225
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 6: Also, all right, it's been settled. Thank you, Roby.
