Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like we leave the show and you were like, hey,
how was the shows?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Like, I think it was good?

Speaker 3 (00:02):
Yeah right. I mean that's you. You developed that if
you do talk radio long enough. As soon as like
you leave the studio, by the time you're in the
elevator and down to the first floor walking.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
To your car, you have no idea what it's like.
Sever exactly right, exactly right. You don't even believe what
you said anymore.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yeah, tilt in the back of your head. You're like,
I I think you just hit a three hour show.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I felt like pretty quick though, Yeah, yeah, I just
got in the elevator.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Bar k was Walker Case? Yeah right, Holy Ghost? That
would be my walk up like that. Do you have
a walk up song?

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Here comes the Boom Yeah by Shaggy. I think it
is you Gotta Know You Gotta Know Who and Shaggy
it comes to boom bouncing.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Nice dat. Did you play baseball?

Speaker 5 (00:46):
I am the biggest baseball fan you probably met. I
love baseball. I loved it playing. I was a fantastic
first baseman. H My, my freshman baseball coach, said something
to me that I believed him, so I didn't come
back out for the varsity baseball. But I love it.
I go by myself sometimes. I went my first Father's Day,

(01:07):
went by myself.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
To a Rockies game day game. It was arguably the
best of the day. Right.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
I love it to the point where I wouldn't even like,
there's a question, what kind of what kind? What's the
best sporting event for a first date? And somebody said baseball.
I was like, if you talk during a baseball game,
that's that's you're cutting yourself from the roster here, I
mean really in between innings, sure, but you're talking.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean you're there to watch the game.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
I love baseball, I think, and I always thought playing
tackle was like being a pitcher, so I always you know,
CC Sabbathi is one of my favorite pitchers, and he
would just change up as his best pitch. But he
might be down to nothing after the first inning. He's
gonna finish seven with that score still gonna be two points,
you know, two runs.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
So I love baseball.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I love the the first start by the pitcher yesterday
for the Rockies.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
A huge baseball fan, that was great. Yeah, he had
a he looked pretty good out there. Rockies twelve runs day, right,
offensive explosions.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Second and third, aning there's some defensive gems too.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
I was getting worried, like Friday and Saturday. I'm thinking, Oh,
I know they're gonna win a game in the stand.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
He guess the Athletics. And that's sounds to say that
the Athletics couldn't find a way to be decent this year.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, that's saying the Athletics will not find a way
to get a man.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
That's a stadium they're building in Vegas, though, I'm sure, But.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's the thing, like it was one thing for us
a talker. So Hey, the Phillies are tough. The Phillies
are going to be a good team, right, Tampa Bay
might actually be a pretty decent team. He started on
the road, you got only one win. You come home,
it's time to get right. You're taking on the Athletics,
and then they just get killed in those first two games.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think Buddy Black has to change the home routine. Oh,
I really don't. I don't. I understand that in baseball
at altitude, there are different things, right, you can the
hitters are gonna hit farther than all those things.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
How come it's not the Rockies though? How come is
everybody else but the Rockies that hit the ball.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Further when what although they are going to get some
torpedo backs in there, guess Ryan.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
McMahon is that what? Oh my goodness for Peters are awesome.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
And in fairness, they didn't get They lost in extra
Indians the game too, they lost.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
They get killed. Well, no, they killed Friday. They had
chances to win.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's you know, i came on raft of the game saying,
I'm still pretty optimistic about this team because the pitching
has been good, the starting pitching, and their bullpen was
great on Friday night too, yep. I mean they had
they had all those things working on. But yeah, Chase
Dale Wonder is great. Zach Vian in the call up.
Very excited about him, Yeah, very excited about him.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
So, yeah, the Rockies are right there.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Another thing for the weekend, Alex Noovechkin, I've been playing
some highlights on the television in here. Eight ninety five.
He did it. I mean, he passed.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
You think about it. It's remarkable.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
We talked about stat that we never thought we'd ever
get beat, you know, when we didn't bring up Tom
Brady's touchdown record of six hundred and forty nine, because
the next one is Drew Brees at five seventy one.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
So six forty nine, you'd have to throw thirty plus
for more than twenty years.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
And that, you know, one of the things that scus
that stat which I'm a huge fan of the year
they did it when he had Randy Moss. I mean,
I really believe that was some of Tom Brady's best football.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
He played. What Moss catch that year twenty three.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
I think it was something like twenty two or twenty three,
and half of them there was nobody around. There's nobody
around when he caught the ball. I mean, you want
to you want to go in to deep dive, you
got a you know situation, hell situation. You gotta stay home.
Go ahead and put on the highlights of Tom Brady
in that season. I think it was that twenty two
thousand and seven.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
That was seven and yeah, he caught twenty three touchdowns.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Unbelievable play that year four and ninety three seven. That
was one player he had, no just one player, one player.
I mean that those games were unreal. And I got
to watch Randy Moss growing up in Minnesota, and you
know when Chris Carter taught him to watch a big
screen in the metronome.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I thought it was the coolest thing.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
So by comparison, okay, so we said Tom Brady the
top six forty nine active players who are currently with
their records, Aaron Rodgers has five hundred and three. He's
not taking one hundred and forty six more passing touchdown
he'd have to throw.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
I mean, he'd have to have one hundred and forty six.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, he'd have to literally have really good years and
play for four years, right.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
An amazing like MVP caliber year.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
How many did you throw last year with a horrible
Jets team? I'll give me a second year. He had
pretty good year.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, he ended up having a pretty good year.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
He threw six picks twenty eight touchdowns and how many
picks eleven?

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Isn't it funny that twenty eight touchdowns doesn't sound like
a lot anymore? That used to be a heck of
a season for a quarterback.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Sure, other quarterbacks that are are currently active, Matthew Stafford
has three seventy seven, so he's like half of Tom
Brady Russell Wilson, God bless him passing touchdowns.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
By the way, he didn't even give his number. He's
just he just hes blessing with the Lord. He just
didn't even give his number.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Uh, Russell Wilson got Russell Will bless.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
His heart three fifties trying three fifty for him. Kirk
Cousins is too eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
So do you think Russell Wilson gets to four hundred
in his career? No?

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Did you see the handshake, by the way, when he
met I think Dabel was more excited to meet Sierra
than he was Russell Will. Did you see that interaction?
Like Brian Dabele like quickly damped up Russell and he
starts talking to her. Hi, great to see it, great
to see you, and all right, we'll see you later.
He's a big Sierra fan, I mean must be, you know.
I think he's the reason why he got Russell in there.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Derek Carr and Jill Flacco we have two fifty seven
and Patrick Mahomes is two forty five.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
You don't think Brian Dabele listens to level up man?

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I mean I have a question though, you got me
you know, well, were we happy when the closing store
in d i A Closed?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I think we were happy.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
I think we're like you know, happy, so strong you
feel bad about it. You weren't like, oh no, they
should keep the fashion store open.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
And you feel so strong? What what? And I still think.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
There's been a move like that where the town is
so past the player that they're like, yeah, I get
the Stay in Park medals too, didn't they?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I think? So, yeah, you're sad about that, of course not.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I'm sad that people be so strong.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Well, I just think that's strong because there are people
that lost their jobs, right, I mean, there's people working
there at this store that don't make this kind of
money that Russell Wilson is here to make.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And they relied on that income. So I'm not going.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
To single closing.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
He's walk in support.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
It's like theoretically, I'm talking theoretically speaking in like a
hypothetical world. There are people working in that store and
I don't know what happened to them. I feel bad
for them. I should have bought a shirt or too,
just to help them. Clearly, yeah you're gonna use that,
Now what.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Kind of shirts do you? I don't even know what
kind of short what kind of apparel was that?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I don't either?

Speaker 5 (08:12):
There how can you not have a flannel shirt in Colorado, right,
I mean, it just doesn't.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
I would have told Rush from the very beginning that
place is doomed unless you start Karen flannel.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
If he's if he made an orange and blue flannel,
that thing he sold out sold out.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Ryan gets it.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
I'm an economist. I am one of my degrees in economics.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I thought that was an interesting point that was sort
of brought up when Alex Ovechkin passed Wayn Gretzky, which
is a stat we thought, I mean goals. We never
thought that would that would fall eight hundred and ninety five.
And yeah, Tom Brady's six hundred and forty nine passing
touchdowns with the next guy closest at Drew bides the
five seventy one, Peyton Manes five thirty nine, Brett favth
five eight the next.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
How many years did Brady get in twenty two?

Speaker 5 (08:55):
I thought it was well, you know, the question is, though,
is Ken mahone do it?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Well, see that's what I'm saying, Like, so he's at thaning,
near the bottom of this list. At least they put
it out he's six years to forty five, So he
would be the one that would sort of jump out
as you'd think, has a chance to get there.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
How many Brady get? How many years? Yeah, Hold on
a second.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Mahomes had twenty six passing touchdowns this year, so I
almost think that they need to sort of ramp him
up back to what he was because there was a
time when he was kind of tracking.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
For that first year as a starter, he threw for
fifty Yeah. This last year he threw.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
For five well, I know he threw for five thousand.
I think he threw for fifty touchdowns. I thought it
was fifty two. I thought it was fifty as well.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I meant.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
But the point of it is is this last year,
like a lot of the goal line stuff, they just
went to the running backs and it really wasn't that
big a deal. All Right, Tom Brady played, so he's
drafted in two thousand and he went to twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
So twenty three yeah, yeah, so twenty three seasons.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
So Mahomes hypothetically would have how many what means you
got now seven? So sixteen more years. He's not gonna
First of all, he's not going to play them. The
guys today makes so much money.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Malmes has eight years, actually eight years, so he'd have to.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Play fifteen more years. I don't see any way in
the world he's going to do that. I don't think
so either. And I know Andy Reid from playing with him.
He doesn't do that Wednesday off for the veterans. He
doesn't none of that. He is an old school coach.
You got a number in a jersey you're practicing. Yeah,
so I don't.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
And I And what Dave's saying is, on your tenth
year of making fifty million dollars, how much more do
you want to protect your spleen.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
When you go to work. I don't know. I don't know.
I'd have something better to do.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I mean, he's still like Patrick Mahomes. As much as
I think we here in Broncos Country want to hope
for the fall of the Empire of the Kansas City Chiefs,
he still just does some unbelievable things at the line.
He still gets his guys in position. So even passing
for twenty six touchdowns. They were in the Super Bowl

(11:06):
for crying out a loud because I think a lot
of it is, and it's kind of our conversation we're
talking about with the Nuggets earlier this year.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
A lot of it is is whatever.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
They you almost have to find a way to ignore
the regular season as much as possible because they're going
to be in the postseason and that's really when their
season starts.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, I mean, they've I mean that's why I think
it's up to the Broncos this year. And I think
the Broncos have to think this way. They've got to
win the West this year, no matter what that means,
whether you beat Kansas City twice or you split and whatever.
At the end of the year, they've got to have
a better record than Kansas City so they can host
a playoff game, which means Kansas City has to be

(11:44):
a road team, a wildcard team.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Doesn't mean that they can't get there, because again.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I go back, maybe the most impressive thing of this
Kansas City run. I know they lost this past Super Bowl,
but the previous year they had to go to Buffalo
and beat Buffalo and then go to Baltimore and beat Baltimore.
That was the year that somebody had to get them.
And you know what, neither the Bills nor the Ravens could.

(12:12):
And they beat the breaks off the Ravens in that game.
It wasn't even close.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, well, I mean the Ravens decided to not do
the thing that actually makes them good, which is run
the ball.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, but that's the thing, that's the joy.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
I do want to say though, with Ovechkin, and I
love watching him play hockey. He probably has the loosest
skates in NHL history, right, But Wayne Gretzy's goals, that
to me is not That's not the Wayne Gretzky stat
it's the points. Two thousand, eight hundred and fifty seven points.
No one's touching that, and that is it's so insane

(12:45):
to even say out loud. So it's like happy for him, right,
It's like, is this somebody beat Drew Brees's passing record.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
You're happy for him, but like, is.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
That a record record or is it you know, did
you win a Super Bowl like Drew Brees?

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Did you win more Super Wilson, Drew Brees, you know,
things like that. So that's always funny to meet hockey.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
They're celebrating this, Sovetkin and some I'm kind of like,
you're celebrating an award.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
That man.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Eight hundred and ninety five goals is kind of a big.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Goals, a lot of goals, and he's got one championship.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Oh, that's true.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
He might play three or four more years, though, I
think so Alveskin doesn't look like it broke his leg
this year.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, and came back. Hello hockey players. I mean he could.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
He's He's plenty tough, so I I don't think we've
seen the end of Alex Ovechkin.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
He's got Yager hanging over him too. I mean Comra
Yager War six eighth. By the way, Hey, back to
the Broncos for just a second. I did want to
throw a hypothetical at you.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Guys, since we're kind of marching our way up to
the draft here in two and a half weeks. Is
there a scenario I think a lot of Broncos hays
like to see the Broncos trade back from twenty and
I've seen some discussion about should you trade up. Is
there a player like say Ashton Jenny, that'd be worth
trading up for. Is there a scenario in your mind, Dave,
where you'd want to have two first round picks this

(14:02):
year or is this class because we've discussed it as well,
from picks fifteen to I don't know fifty, A lot
of teams seeing those players as comparable talent? Is this
the year to not do something like that. The only
reason I ask is because I think about it in
terms of if you could.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Get two premiere players.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
When you recognize you're in a window here with bow
Nicks and you want to try to get as many
starting caliber premiere players as possible, maybe you force it
a little bit now because you do have the quarterback.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, I think my answer would be qualified if you
feel like you could trade up and get two players
that you think are those two guys.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Right that you're not going to be able to get.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
A guy without giving up draft capital that.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Is very similar to him.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
If it's one of those deals, then I would be
in favor of it, because I do think there's merit
to loading up in the next couple of years as
best you can with bow Knicks here to try to
make a run at this thing while he's under a
rookie contract. Much the same way really as the forty
nine ers, although the forty nine ers, I mean when

(15:10):
they got Christian McCaffrey. To me, that was exactly the
missing piece that they felt like they needed.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
They give up draft capital, the equivalent of a first
like it was a bunch of picks, but it was
the equivalent of the fir.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
It was a bunch of picks. It wasn't a first
nor a second. I don't think might have been. It
was not a first for sure. Yeah, but they felt
like in that offense they were one piece away, a
really multi talented, versatile back that could run it between
the tackles, that had breakaway speed, excellent pass receiver, nobody
really like him in the league.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
So it was a twenty twenty three second, third, and fourth,
and then a twenty twenty four to fifth.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Okay, so four picks for Christian.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Now, if there are a couple of guys again that
you could load it up with, then I probably would
be in favor of. But but I you know, they
would have to identify who they are, and we're certain
we can. If we do this, we're gonna we're gonna
wind up getting the guys that we want.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
I just want to remind everybody Bill Belichick dropped out
of the first round all the time, right, He constantly
traded out of the first round.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
I think a lot of Broncos says want to trade out, Yes,
like trade trade out with that.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
But what I'm saying is this is a precedent that
has success. Yes, of course, and you're gonna find more value.
I honestly think you could trade twice out of the
first round.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I think you could trade with Washington.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
The problem is that the latter parts of the first
round now are kind of packed with the AFC West. Right,
you got the Chiefs in there, you try out the
Chargers in there, you got the Texans in there. You
don't want to get the Texans any better, right, the
Ravens so uh. But if you look at a team
that's trying to do more, that to me is Washington.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Right.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
You could trade down to twenty nine, and then maybe
you could trade down again, so you could try I
would try and trade twice out of the first round.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
You wouldn't try to trade back into the first round.
There would be nothing there for you.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
You have a solid veteran defense bolstered by the free
agent picks. I mean, I can't say enough about what
they got in the free agency, and you're missing a
tight end. And to me, the player that I keep
falling in love with, I'm falling more in love with
is Jake Ferguson or out of Oregon or Terrence you know,
and those are players that are going to be able
to give that. O Nicks is going to be able

(17:21):
to He already has communication established with him. Things like that.
You can get Ferguson in the second, maybe even the
third round. Mitchell Evans is out there at tight end.
He's a fantastic tight end out of Notre Dame at
ACL injury two years ago. Didn't have the year that
he had previously, but he was there and open and
he man caught three balls with one arm this year,
two of them for a first down, won them for
a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
That's a guy.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Well, and then they're gonna come away with the tight end.
I imagine they already said they're coming away with a
running back. I guess I looked at it in terms
of for the Broncos as they're trying to maximize this
opportunity that they're in with the quarterback. If they're looking
at say the end of a tier of players like
for example, wide receiver, right, I think there's some interesting
depth wide receivers that could developed into some things. But
the top of the draft has four or five guys,

(18:05):
and then I say top up, saying first round into
the second round, there's four or five guys that you
could profile as day one starters, and then the rest
of them become more of developmental players defensive line. Maybe
there's a drop off in the tier tight end. To
your point, there's a bit of a considerable drop off
for most people out there after Ty Warren, Yes, after Warren,
and maybe after Colston Lovelin, depending on how you've Well,

(18:27):
I'm just saying like this is a consistent discussion. So
that's where I would say for the Broncos that they're
eyeing this thing, they say, we can take whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
We take a twenty maybe it's best player available.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
We take best player available, and then we take a
look at how the board is falling, and maybe you
get yourself back in there. You add yourself a fifty
year option and a player, and you're getting a day
one starter out of it.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Well, let's just think, though. I agree, I think that's
the way to go. I also think you have to
look at who have they been drafting. They've been drafting
team captains who have won a lot of football. That's right, right,
and that's consistent now since coach Peyton got here and
George Peyton's been here. So when you talk about receivers.
I don't know. Did McMillan in Arizona? Did he win

(19:08):
a lot? I didn't see a captain's thing on his chest.
I like the Golden Kid out of Texas. I really
like him.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But love of Buka, of course, I know you love him.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
And here's the thing. He was the second best receiver
on his team. We've already been through this now, Jeremiah Smith,
you could yeah to bad, he can't come out, Oh
my gosh, right.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
But he could push for first overall, honestly.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
So when you're looking in your if you're a Broncos fan,
you're hearing all this, what should they do? Remember that
they've got a litmus test. It's a team captain who's
won a lot of football games. And so if names
start coming out and those guys aren't team captains or
didn't win a lot of football games, that lowers the
percentage chance you're gonna get him here, in my.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Opinion, And we got a national championship game tonight. And
it's a little bit different than at least I expected.
I really, despite the fact.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
That you were not, you didn't really talk about I
mean one of the all I mean that was one
of the all time, all.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
Time Yes, especially when Cooper Flag missed his jump shot.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
You get nine point ly with two minutes to go.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Can't inbound the ball fading away at six foot nine.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Twenty five to eight run to close out the last eight.
Cooper Flag had the only baskets for Duke the last
thirteen minutes.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
When we say that about Luke Nicole Yokis all the time,
nobody gets mad.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
He didn't make it when it counted, though, But he's
gonna have opportunities to do that.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
I don't know if I'm gonna judge him completely one play.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
If he goes to the Lakers, then great, he's not well,
he's not gonna do it the Lakers. The Lakers are
gonna be playing like they're gonna be in the tournament.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
So if anybody controls that lottery the name is Lebron James.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
You gotta be kidd me.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
There's no there's no there's no way that the Lakers
end up getting out. If you want to talk to
me about I don't know. I'm trying to look at
a team that might the seventy six ers somehow getting
in there, or can you mention the same.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Talk about Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Can you mention the San Antonio Spurs about getting that
thick after getting wimby last year. Yeah, the conspiracy theorists
out there will lose their minds.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
They make the they make the team's lottery ball that
they want to win, they make it lighter.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Everybody knows this. You can see the memo. That's what
they do. I can't.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I still can't believe Duke lost that game.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I just can't.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, and that's no, there's no disservice there to Houston.
We talked about Kellen Sampson in the in the break.
I mean, he is unbelievable coach. He had his guys playing.
They executed the inbounds plays way.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Better than they were, just tougher physically and tougher mentally
than Duke.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
They were prepared for the moment. I can't stand Duke
for the life of me.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
I get it that. It's a blue blood program. Went
to Notre Dame.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
Yeah, way better school than Duke, way better, you know. Yeah,
but at least we at least we put that blood
through musus and performance and production. Duke, Come on, man,
come on, man.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Right, you really have no room whatsoever?

Speaker 5 (22:08):
You know, I'm just saying I probably saw more of
Duke than anybody because Riley Leonard was a quarterback at
Notre Dame and that says everything anywhere where.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Do you think he's gonna get drafted sixth round? He?
I love him as a person. Dave really do the
next Josh Allen? I have heard?

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Uh No, I think I'm sure who. The kids are
teaching me a new word mid. They say mid for
like mid level. He's got a mid arm he has
He does not throw with anticipation, excellent footwork until stuff
starts going wrong. Can't throw the won't throw the deep
ball with the life of scared to death of throwing

(22:47):
you an interception.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I don't want that quarterback.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
I'd rather have ten picks and thirty touchdowns than twenty
five touchdowns and two picks.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Nope, somening thing what you just said. No the hell
you would.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
So I want my quarterback ten picks. I'd rather twenty
five touchdowns and two picks. I want my gunner slanging. Yeah,
I want him throwing balls. I want him throwing touchdowns.
And it's that's okay, we'll learn.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Maybe it's a Ryan thing. Maybe that's that's what's going on.
Here because I know how to win.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Dave's head.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
If you just said, if you just said thirty and ten,
I'd as opposed to I'd rather have that than like
twelve and oh okay, okay, that.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Kind of thing. The guy's scared of throwing a pick.
I don't want my quarterback throwing I don't want my
quarterback worrying about mistakes. Now he's got to hands on
the ball. You know, I really I feel bad because
I think Riley Leonard could have been in this conversation
with Shador leading me. Runs pretty well, good athlete, and
in the first drive of the game. He ran four

(23:56):
times in the National Championship and was gassed for the
rest of the game.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Seventeen play driver or something like that.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's like, yes, yes, but he
was done.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
He was done.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah he was Colin Coward that said he was the next.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
You know what I want to do.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I want to I want to start tracking the people
that didn't play. Who make these comparisons. Paxton Lynch as
smart as who Peyton Manning? You took the test? Who
said that?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
You know, well, for Paxton, I did not say that.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Stop it.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Maybe another Ryan, because Ryan's say things.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, that's about us.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Never played the game that makes though, So you know,
give him that is it his.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
You'll see crest, you'll think real hair. I mean, I
don't know. You think Jimmy Foley this is real hair?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
I do, Okay, I haven't seen Jimmy fallon advances in
modern technology.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Haven't just been on.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Your computer, brother, like implants or what? Do you think
the rug is much nicer?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Rock think? I think Jimmy fou Jimmy got a rug?
That is that's an accusation.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
You got something to back that up.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
You can't just say that about Actually, yeah, that's just
and all of a sudden, oh, some already tweeted out
that per Ryan Harris is a rug.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah that's good.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
I'm just saying, and I'm not mad at him. You know,
but your hair cuts the same every single week.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, he gets paid a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Took the same every single week. Is he still on TV?
He is still doing the late late night him and
his rug. I thought he was. He's not leaving though
tonight show. That's what it is. Is he leaving?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Not that I don't know who are waiting somebody, Jimmy,
somebody is though, a late night guy, right.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Is Jimmy Kimel that's leaving? Maybe it's maybe it's Kimmel.
There's a lot of Jimmy's out there, Yeah, Jimmy's and Ryan's. Yeah,
Ryan's are better than Daves nearly enough. It's kind of
a boring name, old school, but it was.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah about back to the National Championship tonight.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
I don't know, Dave, who do you got? Ryan? Who
are you feeling about?

Speaker 5 (26:01):
I love the city of Houston when I lived there
for two years. I love that Samson had his guys
ready for the key situation. I mean, I'm watching it
in the inbound how many times we actually see a
team double team and on the inbound get the ball?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I mean that was phenomenal. So I'm Houston all day.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
I really want Houston to win, partly because I want
Ben to lose.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
But Ben has been picked, and.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I guess it's only nine percent of all the brackets
had Houston go into the final. Nine percent of all
the brackets in the entire world. But I want I
want Ben to suffer, So I really am. I'm pulling
for Houston.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Wet blanket all right, Yeah, because he picked Florida because
he picked Florida. You make decisions out of spite a lot,
just in this case, because my bracket's done. I had Duke.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I had Duke all the way, and I was with
you what you deserved.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
You want to get? You are not to day. You
don't get to talk.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
I get to talk a lot. I'm actually here to talk,
and I'm telling you, no, damn completely different stratosphere than Duke.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
It really isn't, though, like any anybody else. Only get
to say that as a.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Dover, namely three Hall of Fame football players from Duke.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
While you're waiting on that. They're a basketball school. Oh
so just singularly focused, not like Notre Dame. Dave.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
You wanna you wanna work on the No, he didn't
like Duke either, Well, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Like I don't like Duke. I just thought they were
the better team.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
I thought they were the best team in the tournament,
picking them that I told David at the time.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
I said, engaging in their arguments where you actually have
a chance to win or lose.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, otherwise you just.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
No chance over there.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
In Isley Brothers songs, yourself, that's what I do, all right,
Switzerland over here, Yeah, no kidding, all right, pick a
side of your Dave bitch with all bright Broncos country today.
Come over the top of the our high band. How's
uh your house?

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Your bracket?

Speaker 4 (28:00):
I know you've been waiting all day to to puff
out your chest.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
I mean it's perfect. You know it's perfect. So you
already know? Are you like to? Was talking to take
Florida the Under.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
It's funny because the public is all over Houston in
this one.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
And a half on Florida in the Under.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
I think, uh Duke should have won that game.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
But you know, much like Antonio Cammarti, I don't even
know everybody knows where that one's going. No, I'm okay, Look,
they just couldn't pull it out.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Is the second time someone's trying to get me fired already,
I'm a guest.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
In a day, in a day, in one day, you know, listen.
I I think it's gonna be a lot of fun
in this one. I don't know, I mean the tournament
in general. Some people some of the complaints I heard
is that they haven't had a lot of March Madness moments.
But gosh, that is as close to you get as
Houston beating do because as you can for a much
bad Flarda came.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Back from being the round too.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
But you're gonna see that from now on mid majors
and you can't keep players anymore in the NIL level
like mid majors can't keep players anymore.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
People buy them up.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
And even if you're going against a player that you
think you like, you can, hey, bring them over with
the NIL, put them on the bench, make sure somebody
else doesn't have.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Exactly what it is so that you just these mid
major stories that you used to have are gonna be
even fewer and far between with the current way the
NIL thing works.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, you might.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
You might start getting salary cap tournaments like tiers in
the in the salurar, like the N I becomes the
mid salary cap and the you know, you're gonna have
salary cap tournaments because that's what you're gonna have to
do in order to separate these things by money.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know, Dave.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Do you think we lose something by not having the
cinderellas of the uh past?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, a little bit, sure.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I think it was always kind of a cool I
mean more so in March Madness than than any of
the college sport. You knew that it could happen, right,
fifteen could beat the two and then at fifteen could
win the next game and then make a deep run
and look at was the Florida and Atlantic Florida golf
call Grant Davidson.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, he has a connection to Gulf Coast, to Dunk City.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
You we're shoa smart these days.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
He's at he's the head coach West Virginia virg oh Marquette.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yes, at least the Lamire's shacka smart and all that stuff.
I mean, yeah, we love the Cinderella stories.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
When Bryce Drews fired up threes, you know, to make
those you just you just don't get that stuff anymore
because again, the teams with the money buy those players up.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
They just do.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
So, I mean, the Cinderella stuff is I'm not gonna
say I don't enjoy I definitely enjoy it. But then
at the same time, you're thinking about we had four
number ones here in the final four, and those are
those are clearly the four best teams in college basketball.
And we got treated to tremendous games on Saturday night.
So like it's it's kind of a one head of
the other.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Was that was one. Yeah, all four number ones, right, yeah, one.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
Do you guys tell that Auburn guy with the dreads
that start halfway in the back of the tag, tell
them to cut it off. Man's got fake hair up front.
You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
What is this like a kick?

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Ever since being bald myself, I am a certified sworn
in deputy of the hair Police.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Well, look the economy and the only thing I've got
up here too many's the hell of a player. Now.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
He shot the ball four times in the second half.
I'm just saying, if you if you're an Auburn fan
and you lose that game, and the and the He
was the SEC player of the Year this year in
the regular season.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
He got four shots in the second half.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
He looked like he was tired of the whole process,
like he was just move on.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, he was ready to move on. Ran. This was
a lot of fun. I appreciate you, Bro, great to
be with you always.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
All right, thank you very much, great, great job as always,
