1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: We got Rockies Baseball coming up at the top of 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: the hour. Rocky's looking for another series win. Love hearing that. 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Earlier we talked a little bit about Michigan beating Yukon 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: in the National Championship. R Kway Tournament updates are presented 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: by Expinity and Dave Smith Motors, low prices that are 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: hard to beat, a Ramjeep, GMC and Chevrolet again five 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: six six nine zeros are Kwa Common Spirit Hill text Line. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: The Nuggets, by the way, hanging in there at the 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: number three seed. They won't play again until tomorrow night. 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, they are currently as I pulled this up 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: here for just a moment, by my tabs, they are 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: a half game up on the LA Lakers, who once 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: again are in dire strait. 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: I saw something. Is Lebron shutting it down? That I 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: see that? Yeah, yeah, he's out tonight. I'm saying that 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: he's shutting it down. Okay, but I mean with foot sword. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: Yes, you're going to be playing thirty eight minutes in 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs every single game every. 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 4: Day, man, not just in the playoffs the rest of 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 4: the regular season. They're gonna be working Lebron like a dog. 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 4: Take a day off while you can, because once this 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 4: playoffs hit, you are the team now until you can 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 4: get Luca back, you are the team. You are the 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 4: team's only hope and making it to the next round. 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: Now they are. So they're right now at the four seed. 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: They are one game up on Houston, Okay, and they've 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: got four games to play. So I guess, I mean, 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: does it I mean, I guess it kind of matters 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: if you're the four of the five because you get 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: the home court, right, So, I mean that does matter. 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: But they're pretty much locked in to be either the 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: four or the five. So is the rest of Lebron 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: and trying to get your I don't know whatever you're 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: going to be in the postseason right now? 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: Is that worth more than trying to hang on. 36 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: To the four seed? I no, I mean you're gonna be. 37 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: I still say you're gonna be without Doncic and maybe 38 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: because I don't think they'll get out of the first 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: round of the playoffs and I don't think he'll be 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: ready to play in the first round of the playoffs. Reeves, 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 3: I don't think with the oblique, I mean that could 42 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 3: be as long as Dauncic. 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: So I don't think it matters whether you're four or five. 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: You just want to You want to have Lebron as 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: healthy as you possibly can. So I would rest him 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 3: as long as I needed to, because if you're five, okay, 47 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: you got to win a game in Houston, Yeah, and 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: hole Court in LA. 49 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't think they beat Houston without Doncic or Reeves. 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: No, not a change, no way. 52 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: But you know, when you talk about, you know, trying 53 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: to position yourself, you know, then you can kind of 54 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 4: disrupt the flow of how the season has been going. 55 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: And the idea obviously is to win as many games 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: as possible. But at the end of the year, you know, 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: you got to try to work on positioning. But I 58 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: just think you just got to roll with whatever you get. 59 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 4: I'm not a believer of trying to position yourself because 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: you've already putting yourself in that mindset. And I just 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 4: believe that you have to go out there and just 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 4: try to win every game because it's hard to turn 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: it off and then turn it back one and turn 64 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 4: it off, turn it back one, and I get it. 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: You can sit there and try to sit people like 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 4: you know, but you have to you have to play games. 67 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about last night's game with the Nuggets. 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Is that more encouraging because we've seen games like that 69 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: all season long, like the Utah Jazz game a few 70 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago, where they it looks like you were going 71 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: to lose the entire way and then finally in the 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter they just mustard up enough to get past them. 73 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: But even they weren't very thrilled about that. 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Last night, you were down sixteen to the fourth quarters, 75 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: you pointed out against Portland, you find a way to 76 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: come back and win that game. Is that encouraging to 77 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: you because you have the medal to do something like that, 78 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: or is it a little bit discouraging because this is 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: a team you probably should be able to put away. 80 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: No, Portland's playing great. 81 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: I mean, Portland was eight and two of the last 82 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: ten coming in so they and they've been on a heater. 83 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: They've got some great young scorers. So I mean, I 84 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: thought there'd be a little bit of a letdown because 85 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: of the game on Saturday, the overtime win against San Antonio. 86 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: I mean, they're down twelve going into the fourth. 87 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: It required a herculean effort by the Nuggets to force 88 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: an overtime, then you got to play another five minutes 89 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: and find a way to win. 90 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: So I thought they would be, if not. 91 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: Flat, maybe not at that peak because it's it's damn tough, 92 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: almost impossible to accomplish that. So I think it's a 93 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: plus for them that in a game that they had 94 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 3: every sort of opportunity to say, listen, it's just not 95 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: our night. We're still worn out from Saturday. You're sixteen 96 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 3: down with eight minutes to go, and they still found 97 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: a way to come back and win against a team 98 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: that has been playing really good basketball. 99 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: I think to me that's a plus. Hey, a win 100 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: is a win, a win is a win. 101 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: And they were down sixteen in the fourth and so 102 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 4: the idea and the message I would have for the 103 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: players is we see how we can play. You know, 104 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: we got the win. Yeah it was close to the 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 4: and well we expected, but we see how good we 106 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: can be. We just have to do that all the time. 107 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: I guess I sort of equated a bit to the 108 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: way the Broncos were winning last year, right, And maybe 109 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: this is a terrible way to bring these two topics together, 110 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: But last year, Dave, we heard over and over and 111 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: over again, how the Broncos, though they were winning and 112 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: they were winning close right eleven to one score games, 113 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: they weren't putting away the teams that they were supposed 114 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: to quote unquote pro way like, they weren't just dominating 115 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: where meanwhile, teams like the Patriots were winning. They were 116 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: they were winning those games by multiple scorers, and people 117 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: had more faith and belief. And that's why Drake May 118 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: was an MVP front runner versus the Broncos who were winning. 119 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: They won more games, but. 120 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't impressive to people because they weren't dominating quote 121 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: unquote lesser opponents. So that's where I say, Okay, is 122 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: that a picture of who they are as in this 123 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: is what we should expect on them in the postseason? 124 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: And even though they only got one game with bon 125 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: Nicks or is this something that's just it just happened 126 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: to be the way? Is it win win? 127 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: Who will say not? Well, people say they tell you players, 128 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: players and say, all win. 129 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: Hey, if I walk out one to oh, I don't 130 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: care how I got there. That's all that matters is 131 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 4: we leaving this game one and oh it could be 132 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: the ugliest game possible. We figured out the end, Hey, guys, 133 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 4: we had a lot to work on, but hey, want 134 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 4: to know, see you on Tuesday, you know what I mean? 135 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: Like all that, like that Wednesday on Wednesday, to see 136 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 4: you on Wednesday. Like That's the only thing that matters 137 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 4: to players is getting the win. And you know, obviously 138 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 4: talking can't see something to talk about. Even though with 139 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 4: the Broncos, we could talk all the time about how 140 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 4: one score game is, Hey, they wanted, didn't they It 141 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: could completely go the other way and we'd be talking 142 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 4: about how the Broncos had the lead and then lost it, 143 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 4: but or they were losing and they didn't and they 144 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 4: didn't give a fourth quarter comeback all that stuff, and 145 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 4: all that matters is later in the season, that experience 146 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: is going to come come back to help you at 147 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: maybe a very opportune time when you need in the playoffs, 148 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 4: you're down ten in the fourth even like God, if 149 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: we've been here before, we got this, we're gonna get 150 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: it done. Then that's the belief part of it. They're 151 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 4: getting that belief system right. So now if they're ever 152 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 4: in this situation again, they're never going to give up. 153 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: They know they can do it. And because they did 154 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: it during the regular season, and they're going to keep 155 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: doing it. He's absolutely right. 156 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I agree with that sensement. I certainly 157 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: made a similar argument with the Broncos last year. Like 158 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: I said, I just I've seen some fans, some Nuggets fans, 159 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: pointing to this as reasons why they don't believe this 160 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: team can go all the way. 161 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: Is they're just not putting away teams that they should 162 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: put away. 163 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's silly. I mean, that in and of itself 164 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: is silly. Again, Portland has been a pain in the 165 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: ass for a lot of teams lately. They've been playing 166 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: very good basketball. 167 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: What about losing to Memphis like last month. 168 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: Or yeah, that's that's not a good that's not a 169 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 3: good loss. I mean, the Nuggets are The Nuggets are 170 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: going to finish third and then I think as long 171 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: as everybody's healthy, everybody can stay healthy and or get healthy, 172 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: I think they're going to make a run in this 173 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 3: thing that they're capable of winning the West and going 174 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: to the finals, and the winner of the West I 175 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: think will be favored over anybody out of the East 176 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: in the finals. But I'm telling you the Nuggets are 177 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: capable of doing that. I think, I mean I picked 178 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: them to do that back in December, and it's been 179 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: There have been some frustrating moments. 180 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: There have been some guys get injured. 181 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: It's like, man, oh man, can anybody else not get 182 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: injured on this team. I understand the frustration in that 183 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: regard when they're playing, man, you know, they've got grit 184 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: and really good offensive skill. The thing for them will 185 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: be how do they play defense at a crucial time 186 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 3: because their offense, you know, Cam Johnson has stepped up, 187 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: Brown's starting to hit a couple shots. Christian Brown ag 188 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: is dependable on both ends of the court, and you 189 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: know what you're gonna get from the Joker and from 190 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: Jamal so I, man, just get to the end of 191 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: the season. Don't get anybody else nicked up. Peyton Watson, 192 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: you know, get him healthy and ready to go, and 193 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: then they make a run. 194 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, versus the name of the game, and the Nuggets 195 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 4: have had a lot of it at this point in 196 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 4: the year going into the playoffs soon, and I think 197 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: that's going to actually be their biggest strengths is that 198 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 4: they've dealt with so much stuff throughout the year. They've 199 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: had to play so many different lineups. People in out. 200 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 4: You've gotten to see stuff out of certain players Jalen Pikett. 201 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: Like all these guys who which usually don't play that 202 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 4: much for you, you know what you can get out 203 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 4: of them now. And that's the best thing that's happened 204 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: to the Nuggets. They have to learn how to live 205 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 4: without Ag. They have to learn how to live without Joker, 206 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 4: and they figured it out. I think this guy's limit 207 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 4: for this team like that, That right there scares me 208 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: if I'm every other team is because this team has 209 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 4: found ways to win without their best players, and they're 210 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 4: going to continue to find ways to win with their 211 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 4: best players. So they've done it in times where they 212 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: don't even have their best scorers. So I'd be terrified 213 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: if I'm any other team. If I got to play 214 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 4: this team, it's a close game, it's over for you. 215 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, converseonally. 216 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: I guess for a moment, Oklahoma City keeps blowing out teams. 217 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: They barely even play fourth quarters, it seems like most 218 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: of the time, so they may not know what that 219 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: feels like. Again, they won a championship last year, so 220 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: we'll will ultimately see. I did want it for a 221 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: moment before we hit the bottom of the hour I 222 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: wanted to. 223 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: I know we don't do a lot of mock drafts here. 224 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: So before we lose our minds, I'm not going to 225 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: go through an entire mock draft. But Peter Schrager puts 226 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: out two mock drafts every year, and it's usually more 227 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: of like what he's hearing more so. 228 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: Than like, this is who I like like go into 229 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: this team type of thing. So it's like where Milk 230 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: Kuiper tends to do. 231 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: The I'm you know, I want this guy to go 232 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: to this team because it would be fun. Peter figure saying, oh, 233 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm hearing these kinds of things, so quick overview a 234 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: couple of things obviously for Nana Mendozo going at the top, 235 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: David Bailey going to the Jets there at the second pick, 236 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: which is a little bit earlier than I've seen most mocks. 237 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love going to Tennessee at four, Sunny Styles going 238 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: to Washington just in case you care about this, the 239 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: Giants at five. Francis Malanoa, the offensive tackle from Miami. 240 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: The one that that really piqued my interest right here 241 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: is Jordan Tyson, the wide receiver at Arizona State. It's 242 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: coming off of some signific significant handstring injuries. He's torn 243 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: other ligaments before, but he's considered one of the biggest 244 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: boombust picks in the draft and he's going to Kansas 245 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: City at nine here. 246 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: So the question your mock had the Giants taking a 247 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: tackle at five. Yeah, offensive tackle. 248 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 4: And they had that makes no sense. They just sign 249 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: a lumin or back and they have. 250 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: Thomas. 251 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes no sense. How do you know so 252 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 4: much about the James. I know a lot about every team. 253 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: I'll tell you that I know a lot about every team, 254 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 4: and obviously I play these teams. That's why I think 255 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: maxer are ridiculous, because that right there makes no sense. 256 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: They just pay the right tackle. The left tackle is 257 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: a premier left tackle, but we're gonna go with our 258 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: high draft pick and draft to tackle. Obviously, these guys 259 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 4: don't do much recent Well this is. 260 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: But this is, like I said Peter Scheger, which is 261 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: a little bit different because he is doing this based 262 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: on intel. This isn't even so much a fit so 263 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: much as he's just saying, this is what I'm hearing 264 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: that they're interested in. So for what it's worth, But 265 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: the question I have for you guys is with a 266 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: first round pick, especially when they're at nine. When you're 267 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: talking about a boom Bus player, are you of the 268 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: mindset the Broncos aren't drafting one this year? I'm I'm 269 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: swing for the fences. Is it depending a bit on 270 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: what your roster is constructed? As I tend to be 271 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: more of a high floor. I want like players I 272 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: know can play and feel pretty good about that. I mean, 273 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: if you're nine there for the Chiefs, that feels like 274 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: a bit of a risk taking a guy that may 275 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: not play well. 276 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: I think, I think if you're Kansas City, you probably 277 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: have to factor in their need for a wide receiver. 278 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: So maybe it's a reach in some people's minds, but 279 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: sooner or later they've got to start factoring in some 280 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 3: some receivers. 281 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: That are going to be able to help ma Homes. 282 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, so, I mean, I hadn't 283 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: thought one second about what the Chiefs might do. But 284 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 3: he's a good I mean, he's a good player. I 285 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: had a chance to see a couple of games. Impressive 286 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: impressive wide receiver. 287 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: Do you like him more than Carnal Tate? 288 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: I haven't studied both of them, and I'm not going 289 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: to sit up here and act like I have Tates. 290 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I like Tate and he's around some great 291 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: players and so he gets it. He he looks like 292 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: he's another one of those guys. But I have not. 293 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: I don't know who I would take first. Tates projected 294 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: to go higher he is. He actually goes after Jordan Tyson. 295 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was assuming that I would see the 296 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: Chiefs probably try to trade up, they get a receiver, 297 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 4: because that's you know, that's the Chiefs m O. They like, 298 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: if they like the guy, they're going to jump to 299 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 4: go get them. 300 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: And yeah, they they're pick of either wide receiver in 301 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: this mock, and they went with Tyson over Tate. 302 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 4: Now, I just have a hard time believing that that 303 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: those two guys will be there at nine. 304 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: Like, well, if the Giants take offensive tackle, I mean 305 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: that's I mean, you're helping out the Chiefs there. 306 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you know what he would need the 307 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: offensive tackle. He would need a veteran defensive tackle to 308 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: show him the ropes in training camp, and whomever that might. 309 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: Be makes a lot of sense. Yeah, you help me 310 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: get acclimated to the NFL. 311 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: I uh, Caleb Downs who is projected by some people 312 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: to be the best player in this draft. Some people 313 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: to safety out of Ohio States. He falls away to 314 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys at twelve. So Jerry Jones would be doing 315 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: backflips even in his advanced age, if he got Caleb 316 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: Downs at twelve. 317 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 4: He says, was mess like he has some chronic knee 318 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: issues or eighty years old. 319 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: He's like, well, you get to eighty and see what 320 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: you're feeling. 321 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 4: No, but yeah, so that guy has been a dominant 322 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: college player. 323 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: For three years. Oh, he's about three years. 324 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: If dominant college football. So that's another surprising one. 325 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: Well, you know. 326 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 4: Safeties though, but that's that's why the issue. Safeties don't 327 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 4: usually go top ten. 328 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, mean you've got to be on another level. 329 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: And I thought, I think Caleb Downs, to be honest, 330 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: should be in that conversation. But you're right, there are 331 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: some teams. Why don't we think that, as Dave, Why 332 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: why do you think teams I always say devalue safety, 333 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: but they just don't view that as a player. You 334 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: tend to take very high in the draft, Like we 335 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: feel like we're in an era of football where you 336 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: want high level dbs at every position. 337 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's more. 338 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: I mean, there's more of a premium to get a 339 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: high level corner because more times than not, you know, the. 340 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: Best wide receivers in the. 341 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 3: World are guys that play outside in your corners matchup 342 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: against them. 343 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: Safeties, I mean. 344 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 3: I think they would take guys that they felt like 345 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: were generational guys. But I but I think, I mean, 346 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: it's a little bit like running back. If I mean, 347 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 3: love is going to go very, very high. 348 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,119 Speaker 2: But over the last. 349 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: Handful of years, the running backs come back a little bit. 350 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 3: But there was a time period not long ago in 351 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: which they the NFL, I think the conventional wisdom was, 352 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: and man, we can get a good running back late second, 353 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: mid third, early four, you know, because there's so many 354 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 3: of them, and we're not going to expend a first 355 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: round pick on a running back unless he's a generational 356 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 3: talent because they burn out, they run themselves into and 357 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 3: out of the league with too many carries. I think 358 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 3: a little bit of that thinking is also applicable to safeties. 359 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 3: There's a lot of safeties out there. You want a 360 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 3: guy that can be a runfit guy. You want a 361 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: guy that occasionally can play the middle of the field. 362 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: But very few times are you asking your safety to 363 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: go outside, you know, and cover Pukinakua or one of 364 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: the great wide receivers. And so his skill set's much 365 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: much different than those corners that you're going to pay 366 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: a premium and draft them at a premium position than 367 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 3: a safety. 368 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 4: Well, if you even look at the All World safety 369 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 4: Kyle Hamilton, it was fourteenth overall. 370 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 2: That's what I mean. 371 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean so, And that plays right 372 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 3: to the fact that what Shelby just said plays into 373 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: why safeties normally you're not going to get drafted higher, 374 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: because everybody will say, Kyle Hamilton, pretty damn good, we 375 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: got him at fourteen. Why do we need to go 376 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: seven on a safety this year? 377 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: Speak of the Ravens. They get Kenyon Sadek at fourteen. Yeah, yeah, he. 378 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 2: Would have been fun. 379 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: If for some reason the Broncos could have been arranged 380 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: for him, you would have been He'd have been fun. 381 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: Here is it you a joker? No? 382 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 3: I I just think I hate I hate that joker 383 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 3: dog play. 384 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: Tied the one guy. 385 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: There is one guy that that would be kind of interesting. 386 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: Eli Stowers is a tied end. But he's been viewed 387 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: as a little bit more of a quarterback. It's right, 388 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, a lot of people are are. He's 389 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: visiting the Broncos next week, is one of their thirty visits. 390 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: And he's an athletic joker, is a joker. No, I 391 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: just meant he was an athletic joker. You know he's 392 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: he's an athlete. 393 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 394 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: So, but he and Rathport even put out this morning 395 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: that a lot of teams are viewing him as more 396 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: of a big wide receiver than necessarily a tight end. So, 397 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: but there's been some mocks having the Broncos taken him 398 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: at sixty two. 399 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 3: So I would guess on this the what day, seventh 400 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: of April, that he will not be there at sixty two, 401 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: just to guess. 402 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: He's considered besides Sadik, he's considered the best receiving tight 403 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: end in the draft. 404 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: They would have to trade up at least into the 405 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 4: second I think you have to trade into the second 406 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 4: round because now you've see these teams and what they're 407 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 4: doing with these athletic tight ends, they're now a premium. 408 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 4: You know, you see the Kyle Pitts, you know, you 409 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 4: saw the Isaia Likely Like these guys, they're moving them 410 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 4: all around, and they're using them in all these different 411 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: type of ways. And so you know, these offensive play 412 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 4: callers are out there and they have all the plans 413 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 4: in the world for this guy of how he can 414 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 4: expand their offense. You know, look at a Chargers team 415 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 4: that could possibly you know, all these teams that have 416 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 4: creative play callers would love a guy. 417 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: Like that Bie five six six nine Zeros or Kawekoma 418 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: Spirit Health text line. We got news traffic here at 419 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour with Chad Bauer, Lis and 420 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Iran get to the next looking to win. 421 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: A series, the second series of the season again. 422 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: How about that remarkable last year you didn't win a 423 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: series till June, I know, and here we are with 424 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win the second series. 425 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: Rock the Rockies could get to five and six. Keep 426 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: building it up, you know, I'm just kidding. Got Kyle 427 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 2: Freeling in the Mountain tonight. Look good, it's first two starts. 428 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: I'm ready. I know you are. You got a two 429 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: eight ninety R. I like that. Banky staff has done 430 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: really well. Yes, I mean honestly, with the exception of 431 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: Lorenzen on opening days, well. 432 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 4: That was yeah, gave up seven of the first man 433 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 4: also struggle. But you know they've they've responded. I find 434 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 4: as well. And I think that was probably the worst 435 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 4: start of Lorenzon's career. 436 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: I believe. I don't think it was. 437 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 4: And that's that was tough. But also as a fan 438 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 4: for Opening Day, that was tough going there. We you know, 439 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 4: I feel bad, were outside, talked about all this optimistic stuff, 440 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 4: and they go in there and get my It was 441 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: exactly how I crawled it too. When I got home 442 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: from calling, you know, from doing the pregame thing, I 443 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 4: get home and it's eight to one. I said, oh, 444 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 4: that's back. That's terrible, that's okay. Again, it's a long 445 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: season show. They responded, though they did, they responded. They 446 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 4: could have laid down the rest of the series, and 447 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 4: they didn't. They fall back. 448 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 2: They lost two to one on Saturday, close game one, 449 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: four to one on Sunday. And on Sunday. And now 450 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: that we're you said, we're on a one game heater. 451 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: What is two games? 452 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: Just two games heater? Two game heater? Right, that's right now. 453 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: We'll see if we canna make it three tonight. Uh, 454 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: Bernana Mendoz is not going to go to the draft. Uh, 455 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna be selected number one overall. Trevor Lawrence, I 456 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: believe was the last first overall. 457 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: That is true. He's gonna hang out with his family, 458 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, but the league hates that. I was just 459 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: gonna stay. Joe Thomas was fishing. 460 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 4: He was fishing. He was fishing with his dad, right, 461 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: but he was when he found out. I remember watching 462 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: that when I was I had to be like whether 463 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 4: fourteen or something like that, and I thought it was awesome. 464 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: You know, spend the time with the people that were 465 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 4: They were with you from the beginning, and you know, 466 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 4: showed them that they are more important than this. You know, 467 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be here with this moment if it was 468 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 4: not for you. And so I want to spend this 469 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 4: moment with you because it's one of the last quiet moments. 470 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: We're good. 471 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: I wonder what the League said to him though when 472 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: he left him know whether he was an email or 473 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: a text. 474 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 4: Or is this really for dandel Mendozo. 475 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: We'll call your family in too. Yeah, we'll bring them all. 476 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: We'll put them all in their own room. Though the league, 477 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: the League would actlutely. 478 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: Love to have him there, but like Shelby said, I 479 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: think it's cool. I think it's uh, it's cool that 480 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 3: he's doing that. 481 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I guess I do too, and I 482 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: actually I never never falls a player for for making 483 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: that decision to hang out with their family. 484 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 5: Well, it's just yes, there is yes, yes, you know, 485 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 5: I actually grew up and we had great relationships with 486 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 5: our fathers, and our fathers loved us and we loved them, 487 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 5: and we can appreciate what Fernando Mendoza is doing. 488 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: For those maybe they grew up in a different. 489 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 3: Type relationship with their father, well, then maybe they look 490 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: at it differently. 491 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 4: Well, I didn't have a relationship with my father. But 492 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 4: I'll tell you this though, as being a dad, I know, 493 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 4: I know, But as being a dad, I think that 494 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 4: would probably make me feel so good if my son 495 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 4: was like, yeah, like that, I want to spend this 496 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: time with you instead of going there. I might even 497 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 4: shed a tear because. 498 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 2: That shows one for you. 499 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, because that just shows it like you really did 500 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 4: a good job raising them. And that's a scary part 501 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 4: about raising kids. You only get one shot, and so 502 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: you hope you're doing everything the right way, and that's 503 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 4: a way that you find out you did the right thing. 504 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter about your athletic accomplishments, and you still 505 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 4: want to spend time with me when you don't have to. 506 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 2: Let me ask you. 507 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: Is it a little deflating that we've known who the 508 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: first over pick has been basically since the end of 509 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: the college football season. 510 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 2: No, I mean, normally that's the case. It is. 511 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: Well, sometimes there's a little bit of speculation into it's rare. 512 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 4: Walker nobody that was kind of that's true, that was one. 513 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 4: But usually when it's a quarterback, you know, other than 514 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 4: we have times where well, Bakery, it's between two quarterbacks 515 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 4: like Alex Smith Aaron Rodgers, there was one or the other, 516 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: and nobody expected Aaron Rodgers to drop. 517 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: The Peyton Manning and uh it hit from Yeah. 518 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: Well that like the Baker Mayfield year, there was some 519 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: discussion about who was going to be first overall that 520 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: that one wasn't there. 521 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to remember, I mean Donald, who 522 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 2: else was. 523 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Josh Allen, But Josh wasn't expected to be first. 524 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: Zach oh was that well, you know the same year, 525 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: was it? No, no, no, no, no. Zach Wilson was the 526 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. 527 00:24:51,680 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: Here, no, Josh Rosen, Josh Rose Josh seventeen. Yeah, and 528 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 3: released the next the head coach got fired the next year. 529 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they went they moved in a different direction. 530 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 4: That was a fun game playing him, I'll tell you that. 531 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 4: When I was with the Broncos, that was great because 532 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 4: he was laid on every throw. And I remember Todd 533 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 4: Davis had that interception for a touchdown where he high 534 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: five Chris Harris Junior running down the field, And I 535 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 4: told me it seemed like everybody had a sack of 536 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 4: the game. 537 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 3: It was. 538 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: It was. It was a fun game. You know. 539 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: My memory for that is von Miller calling the shot beforehand, 540 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: like guaranteeing the win. You almost never see that, but 541 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: he was. He did his press conference and he said, 542 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: I guarantee we are not losing to this team. 543 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: I think he did it again and we lost. What 544 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: was the other game? I think he did like the 545 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: next game? Really, No, I remember the next game. I 546 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: remember that one exactly because we won. Think, David, you 547 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: ever guarantee a win while you were playing? Oh? 548 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: Hell no, hell no, no, no, absolutely not. 549 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: I listen. 550 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: I I remember I was talking about it on the 551 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: air saying well, this is going to go obviously one 552 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: of two different ways. You know, if they win, maybe 553 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: this catapults the Broncos for remainder of the season and 554 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: everybody's excited about what they can do. And if they lose, 555 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: then everybody's gonna look to Van and say nobody's got 556 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: his back in the locker room, which is maybe not 557 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: completely fair, but but there are none of course, was 558 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: struggling at that time. I wonder, so Banana Mendoza is 559 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: going to get a pretty long leash. We were talking 560 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: about that mock draft a little bit. Uh Ty Simpson 561 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: out of Alabama. I think he goes in the first round. 562 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's I think there's a pretty good 563 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: chance he does. You know, I mean I saw quite 564 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: a bit of him last year. He's he's a rhythm 565 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: thrower and on time thrower. He's accurate with the ball. 566 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 3: Doesn't have a big, big, big arm, but enough arm. 567 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: And again we talked about this every single year with 568 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: this position in this league, there's such a dearth of 569 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 3: starting quarterbacks that you, I mean, if you need a quarterback, 570 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 3: you don't want to be the team that passed on 571 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 3: a guy that eventually goes somewhere and turns out to 572 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: be a dude. 573 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 2: That's how you get fired as a GM. 574 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: Now, on the other hand, if you draft him and 575 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: he turns out to be a bust, you're probably gonna 576 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 3: get fired as a GM also. 577 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 578 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 4: I say, don't draft him if you don't have the coaches. 579 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 4: And I don't say that lightly because you know, we 580 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 4: blame these quarterbacks for not developing and becoming the players 581 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 4: that we expect him to be, but we don't ever 582 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 4: actually think about why they didn't. And a lot of 583 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 4: the times it's because you don't have the coaching, you 584 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 4: don't have the evaluators, you don't have the right guys 585 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 4: in place to develop this quarterback. And we've seen a 586 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 4: lot of teams to kind of go through quarterbacks over 587 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 4: and over and over again. And I think he can 588 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 4: be a slam dunk if he goes to the right team. 589 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: He can be a dud if he goes to the 590 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: wrong team. And so it's a matter of, you know, 591 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 4: whatever team picks him up will will determine his future. 592 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: And that's a sad thing to say. 593 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was listening to UH very quickly. 594 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: I was listened to Peter Schreeger talking about his mock 595 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: draft today and they were kind of give him a 596 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: hard time because of how vocal dan Or Latsky's been 597 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: about ty Simpson saying he's the best quarterback in this draft. 598 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: And then Peter Schreuger puts out a mock and ty 599 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: Simpson's not in the first round, and he said, well, 600 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: the reason why he wasn't in my first round is 601 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: because you get to the back half of the first 602 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: round and nobody. 603 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 604 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: He's like, so I'm not doing trades, He's like, but 605 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: I could absolutely see He's like, the two teams I 606 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: think probably would be the most interesting to him is 607 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: the Jets and the Cardinals, and they are picking right 608 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: at the top of the first of the second round, right, 609 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: So he's like, ty Simpson isn't going second overall, He's 610 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: not going third overall, right, but he could go maybe 611 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: back half of the first round if one of those 612 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: guys want to. 613 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: I would be surprised if he slips out of the 614 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 3: first round. 615 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: I I'm going to say that someone's going to trade 616 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 4: back in. Yeah, so somebody's going to be willing to 617 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 4: trade out go on one of these more successful to 618 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: nice leeve this year. This draft, it's not it's not 619 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 4: a great draft. Why it's the Seahawks trade out. You know, 620 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 4: they can get a running back anywhere, you know what 621 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 4: I mean, They don't have to necessarily get it in 622 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 4: the first round. 623 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: Cool, but they Gotenarian Price in this draft. Oh that's 624 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: such a good fit. 625 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 4: But what I can see a team trading out and 626 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 4: let and and uh whoever trading back in to come 627 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 4: get a Ty Simpson and hopefully is a team where 628 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 4: he doesn't have to start right away. Hopefully is the 629 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 4: team where you can sit back and watch and develop, 630 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 4: like how he's supposed. 631 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: To Gladiator yesterday. Yeah, I gotta mixed up for a moment. 632 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: As soon as I said it, I knew it was wrong. 633 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: But don't they take on Freedom? It was Gladiator. It 634 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: was such a proud look too. 635 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: Well, let's be honest, it's that's the worst thing I've 636 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: ever said on the air. 637 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: And that's that's true. 638 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: I was a little embarrassed after saying Gladiator when I 639 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: knew it was Braveheart. 640 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 2: But then Maddy got it wrong too, She did so 641 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: did she said it was I. 642 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: Think she just said William instead of saying braveheart. So anyways, 643 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: we got Rockies baseball come up here at the top 644 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: of the hour our standings because we got an NBA 645 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: game to pick. Actually, this is I can't wait to 646 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: see what you guys end up doing on this.
