Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome into it Broncos Country Tonight. I'm your host Grant Smith,
filling in for Benjamin Albright as he is on k
WA Sports all this week covering the NFL combine with
Ryan Edwards in here with.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
My guy Nick Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Nick, you know why we played that birthday song from
the Beatles, right?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Uh, it's Zach Seager's birthday. Nope, it's Kathy Walker's birthday. Nope,
it's happy birthday that Nope. Oh is that my birthday?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's bow Nicks's birthday? Is it twenty five years old?
We're twenty five years young?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Kk, you really say twenty five years young.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I know a lot of people usually see it and
use it that way, and usually that you do it
when you're on a composite side of thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
On the wrong side of thirty, according to Zach Segers.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Last night, wrong side of twenty five. Now that's good, yes,
but happy birthday too.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The Broncos franchise quarterback Bow Knicks twenty five years old
going into his second year, a little older than most
second year quarterbacks, but we all know is a historic
career with Oregon and Auburn before that, and the most
starts ever in college football until this past year when
Oregon quarterback Dylan Gabriel surpassed him on That makes me
(01:13):
beg the question to you, Nick and Zach, if you
want to chime in on this, what's the best and
worst birthday gifts you've ever received?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Ooh, best gift? O? Silence?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Now that is an old man's birthday president, Right, there
was that old man's gifts. I mean, listen, because you've
heard enough of the noise of the world and you're like, please,
just everybody shut up for a day.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yes, I don't think it's an old man thing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I think it's just a thing of just being alive
because there's so many chaotic things around us every single day.
And if you have one of these video boxes, as
my dad would call.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It, that's a TV right day video boxes.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
It has so much stuff that's on sports, entertainment, politics.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And and gets drive you crazy. Right, Sometimes silence is great.
And what I mean by that is turning off the TV.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, right, sitting there talking to your family, picking up
a book.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Right, crossword puzzle? Are you good at? Let's define good? Well,
here's how I'll define it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I am not good, Okay, I don't know why. I
was really good at math in high school, but it's
just my brain does not work that way.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know why. I just can't can't crack the code.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
See I can, I can do it, but I wouldn't
say that if we were trying to gauge.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know, am I expert?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
My wife does those things a lot. I'm just gonna
stick with a traditional crossword.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Puzzle, right, I do that. There you go.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm also not very good at those. Maybe I'm just dumb.
Is that what I'm figuring out right now? Just talking
out loud?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, all right, grant see I'm not gonna allow you
to do that. No negative self time, no, no self talk.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well, we all learn at different stages and levels. Like
for me, I'm a visual learners. I gotta be hands on, right,
I got to get my hands into dirt. Don't just
tell me okay do this, No no, no, no, I need
to get my hands dirty. But but anyway, I mean,
for you, will you think about, you know, your best
birthday gift?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Because mine was just sometimes it's just pieces, just like
some quiet time, some quiet time. Yeah, what let's you
what's yours. I've always had the same answer for this question.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
If you want to get involved, let us know your
best or worst birthday gift you've ever received. Chime in
on the Common Spirit Health text line at five six
six nine zero. The best gift I ever received I
think I was maybe eleven, eleven or twelve years old.
I got a Sega dreamcast oo, and I thought that
was the most.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Unreal thing I had ever seen.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Had been playing video games my whole life, you know,
but I feel like that was the first one I
got where I'm like, damn, this looks real, Like this
is better, you know, because that was before HDTV.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're like, this looks better than sports on TV.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
When I'm playing my NBA two K game or whatever
it was at the time, my favorite game was Crazy Taxi.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's like Crazy Taxi? Oh man.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it's just like this wild driving game where your
cab and you go around and pick people up and
then you have to get there in a certain amount
of time and if you get there fast enough, then
you get more time for the next ride.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
And my whole family would play it really Yeah, such
a fun game.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I've never played that game so you talk about video
games like and merely I thought about the own Nintendo game. Yeah,
well you had to continue to blow This looks like,
wait a minute, how did the manufacturer become so destructive? Well,
you can't even insert your game into the console. Happen
a number amount of times without having.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To kind of Jimmy rigg it in order to get
to work.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh. Man, So I had the Sega dream or Sega
Genesis console before I had the Sega dream Cast, and
there was this that was called like Michael Jordan Versus
Larry Bird, and it was my all time favorite video game.
But then I jumped from that to a Sega Dreamcast
where you're like, these graphics are just the pixels?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yeah, just a game changer, man. So that was the
first one.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Was that the first time Sonic Game was introduced to
Sonic Game.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh yeah, I had Sonic on there too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And then I remember one time my dad came in
and he walked in and I was playing my NBA
game and he's like, I didn't know this game was
on TV today.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I said, Dad, this is a video game.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I didn't make it a minute.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I know the systems were when you were going up
a lot better than mine. But I don't know if
if the visuals were that great where it looked like
a live NBA.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Game, Well, maybe my dad had a couple of bud
bleizers that they who knows, you know, maybe he had
his spirit gog goes on.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But was that you haven't told us your best or
worse birthday gift?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I was stumped for a second, but Grant talking about
the Sega Dreamcast has me thinking the Madden NFL O seven.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Funny enough a game you were in.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I remember playing with the Denver Broncos and starting safety
Nick Ferguson. I swear you were like an eighty five overall.
But that game isn't undrinted. That game is imprinted in
my mind. That's like my first ever Madden game. Definitely
helped me fall in love with a football. Shawn Alexander
on the cover. But yeah, that was a big moment
in my life getting that one. Douggy my mom to.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Get me that game from target and go ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I will say this man. For me, it was a
Techno Bowl, Yeah, that very first Techno Bowl. Just run
the ball a boat jasher, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It down, left down, out of the game. But that's
that's what it is. Like, what do you think so
for Bowl right now, with today's being his birthday, what
do you think is probably the biggest thing on his
mind that he's thinking. Okay, well, not just a gift
he wants to give. I mean he wants to receive
for the gift he wants to give.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Well, I know the gift he wants to give at
least the Broncos country. What's that that's a super Bowl victory?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Super Bowl victory.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I mean, I loved some of his comments at the
end of last year, where you know, everyone's praising him
for such a great rookie season. He said, we didn't
really accomplish anything this year. We got way bigger goals.
We made it to the playoffs, but now we want
to compete in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I love his attitude towards that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
But I think the biggest gift he would love to recive,
at least according to Susie Warden, who I had on
my podcast Taking It for Granted, the podcast on the
free iHeartRadio app you can set k away as a
preset if you'd like, and also my podcast. But Susie
Wargen got to work with bow at an event at
a watch store this past year, some fine jewelry store,
(07:45):
and she said, I had no idea how into watches
bow was said he picked up.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Four or five that day, So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Maybe his significant other is getting him a nice new watch,
very expensive watch, a very expensive new watch.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Well you know what that was kind of when I played,
that was one of my vices. Like some guys had
no adult beverages. Yeah, you know, things that kind of
resonated with the mile high area.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm down with that. Or maybe it was women,
But for me, my vice were watches. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I had to tell myself that if I walked into
any mall, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I go past the store that so watches. Yeah. See.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
My big obsession as a kid was the latest signature
basketball shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Signature basketball. Yeah, so like.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Alan Iverson whenever he put out a new shoe every year.
The answer I was getting that he was my favorite player. Yes,
so yeah, when he had the one with the zippers.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
On the front.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, I remember getting those from my I forget what
year it was, maybe eighth grade basketball season.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I was like, I have the coolest shoes. Out of anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I'm gonna play all year because I got these white
Iverson's with the black sides.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And the zipper the front.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
See, I'm a sneaker guy myself. And my daughter told.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Me the other day, She's like, dude, you have too
many sneakers? Never, yes, yes, and like some of them
where A lot of them are in storage?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Right in storage. You don't even wear them?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, I don't what size you got up ten and
a half eleven depending on a sneaker.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Too big for me. Give me a new home if
you need to.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That was the thing, man, because I approachase sneakers, but
I would never wear them. I was just opened the box,
look at them and just put them back in storage
just to know that I have them.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Can't get the creases, yes, you don't what creases or
dirt on them? And just ruin the shoe. Yeah, yes, see.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
The other thing I was obsessed with as a kid.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And we'll talk a little bit about Sean Payton and
George Peyton talking today at the NFL Combine just in
a minute. But uh hats and that has never left me.
My wife is a same way as your daughter with
your shoes. She's like, you have fifty five hats and
you only wear the same seven all the time. And
I'm like, I don't know what I'm gonna need that hat?
When's is gonna match with the perfect outfit or the
(10:11):
right party whatever we're doing.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know, I got to save that for a special occasion.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, you know what this is why when I think about,
you know, my kids, and just think about someself when
you were younger, and every opportunity that you could to
kind of entice your parents to go to a store
to buy toys, right, you would. And it's just like
the moment you open that first one, it was just like, Okay,
I open it, I have it. Now, I'm moving right along.
(10:35):
It's kind of that type of thing. And I know
it's not just with me. It may be with other
people as well, but it's great. Today is a bow
Knick's birthday, and you're right, the greatest gift that he
could ever give or bestow on the Broncos country could
be a super Bowl because that now puts his name
(10:56):
in that ring of fame with John no Way in.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Peyton Manning, only two to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, the only two and then no One is though
the Broncos have never Bo would be the first Bow
would be the first Broncos quarterback to ever be drafted,
developed by this team.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And bring them a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Isn't that wild to take adviz with the storied franchise
that the Broncos are and they've never drafted a quarterback
that has won the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
For him, that is wild.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But most most people don't know this, and I'll always
give this as a tribute question.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Who was the.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Only quarterback drafted by the different Broncos to win a
playoff game?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Jake color hoop?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Uh not Jake Palmer, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Tim Tebow Oh yeah, the miracles, yeah, God shining down
on him last day and with that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Past Timmy Tibo, Yeah God, what a great call, man.
That's still one of my favorite ever Dave Logan calls.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I remember watching being home watching it play and watching
the Steelers defense like sounds about to happen because Troy
Poulamlo is doing those Troy Paulamlo things.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Why you so close in life? Why he was cheaking
up so close up?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And then all of a sudden, DT ran a slant.
Oh man, I still remember where I was too.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I was hanging out in college at at my apartment
with a couple buddies and had a buddy who was
a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, and this was before I had.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Any connection to the Broncos other than my dad being
a huge John Elway fan growing up. But I remember
him just losing his mind, Like I thought he was
going to legitimately cry when Tebow completed that pass to
DT and they won that game.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Oh well, to be fair, there were some people who
did cry because you got to think about it. At
that time, no one thought that the Broncos were capable
of doing what they did that particular year, and there
was a lot of negative things that was said, aright
from me, So I totally understand about Tim Tebow and
his limited skills set, But to do that in that
(13:02):
particular moment and that call from Dave Logan to that
particular team and knowing his though he's stiff on I
til on the way to the end zone.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, man, what a special moment for Broncos country rip DT.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What a great dude he was too. But yeah, that's
like I still think that, you know, I'm not the
most religious person ever, but I think God was literally
playing with Tim Tebo, like God's arm on him, because
you know Tim Tebo can't throw the ball right, but
that was a freaking perfect strike.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Like that was some divine intervention right there.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I would I am a god fearing man, and I too,
like like you Grant think that you know what, there
were some angels in the outfield.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, man of movies. From myseld was it was ages in.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
The outfield on that particular play because no one saw
that it was like the first place, that's what we
call the one hitter quitter.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Out Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well, you know, speaking of the next quarterback that has
been been drafted by the Broncos to lead them to
a playoff win hopefully this upcoming year, bo Nix Sean
Payton was asking and was asked about how he could improve,
how he could grow in year two as a Broncos
starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You just had to watch the games.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
You know, the narrative, and you just have to watch
the athleticism, the learning curve. Look if if I if
I did this, let's just say from immediate perspective for
a living and I have this vision as to what
I think he is and then all of a sudden.
You know, look, he's got plenty of arm strength.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We saw it.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
You know, just look at all the numbers relative to
his completions downfield. I think he was third and twenty
yard completions. I mean, and I this last year respectfully,
I just think it's a tough position to evaluate. And
there's a difference between entertainment.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Entertainment and.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Then from the club side where it's everything, and so
the entertainment, and that's with no disrespect, but the access
to truly evaluate it properly. But it's a it's a
good lesson yearly that it can it can move a
club certain directions if you're not paying attention any position.
(15:34):
And so we felt pretty confident that and at that
time a year ago, it wasn't like we didn't know
who that was. We just felt like we'd be able
to get that right or at least have a good
likelihood of getting it right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So obviously, and A Sean peyton Way didn't really answer
the question that was posed to him, but loves bo Nix,
and you can hear that whatever he talks about him,
gush is about him. Would how would you improve bnicks
if you're working with the Broncos this year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What would you.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Say Bownix needs to improve this offseason to take take
the next step going into year two.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Footwork For footwork, I don't care how many years you've
been in the league, you can never go rome with
constant details as it pertains to your footwork and knowing
as though quarterbacks use their feet to throw the ball,
and those sounds uncommon because we always think about, well,
he has used his arms to throw the ball, but
(16:33):
guess what his feet sets the table for where he
throws the ball. That's why when you see a quarterback
going through their progressions, it is hitch one, hitch two.
And what that means is that he's looking at a receiver.
Now he's coming off of that guy. He's got to
reset his feet, He's now got to readjust he's got
to reframe his sneaking and how he wants.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
To throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Those things are where I would like to see Bow improve.
Because we've seen Dak Prescott with the drills that he
would do the Secura type drills just on live that's right,
and we've seen Peyton Manning do similar type of drills
and his footwork. That is where Bo needs to continue
to improve and if he continues in that area and
(17:13):
improves in that area passes down field, man, that's just
me Like, that's just like butter.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, I agree, man.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, we'll ask Ryan Edwards about that when we come
back from break here. He's going to be joining us
live from Indianapolis covering the NFL combine for KOA and
we'll get to that next on Broncos Country tonight.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
And when we leave you with this, before we go
to break.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Vers football first snap of overtime here tied at twenty
three line of scrimmage, the.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Bronco twenty shotgun for Tim Tebow. Short motion is that
he Royal Tim playfakes in the pocket, sets throws past
top to Mary's Thomas. How over the forty five midfield.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Here we go forty thirty five foot race, twenty fifteen
ten touchdown den Fury. So that's all for a dead work.
(18:08):
The crowd has lost their mind. It is over the
first play of overtime, a.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Play faked by Tim Teball, a pass to Tamarus Thomas
to the end zone in eighty yar play, and the
Broncos are headed to Foxborough to play the Patriots next Saturday.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Thing would be having a chance to visit with these
guys in person. I don't know how many years this
has been now, Remember the beginning of the combine was
to combine medical information, and that was.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
The purpose of it.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
We were, you know, as a league, we were all
the teams were going to see these guys, asking them
to basically get looked at multiple times. So and then
they ran them on a forty. Then we had some
other drills and then we said let's interview them.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And so it's grown.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
But I would say for me, it's having a conversation
in a twenty minute timeframe, maybe an informal conversation, but
putting a face with the name and the film that
we're going to study and we'll get all this on video.
But I think that's one part of it. And then
two seeing them, you know, kind of on the hook,
(19:28):
you know, so to say, you're seeing them in person.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Welcome back to it, Broncos Country Tonight, I'm your guest
host Grant Smith filling in for Benjamin Albright alongside Nick Ferguson.
I was Sean Payton talking to the media today at
the NFL Combine on the value of the NFL combine
and someone who is out there covering it for the station,
our very own Ryan Edwards, the OG.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Of Broncos Country.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Tonight, Ryan, how.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Are you man?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
First time, longtime?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, Ryan, I want to ask you that same question
that Sean Payton was asked earlier today. What is the
value of the NFL combine in your eyes?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Well, I mean he said it there what it would
originally was. I do think it's morphed into a lot more.
And of course the NFL has found ways to monetize it,
and anytime you can monetize something that adds value obviously,
but I think there's an opportunity really to you know,
just you know, pieces of the puzzle, you know, and
that that was a point that was made earlier today
by Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Dolphins, and
(20:28):
he said, yeah, I mean this is just you know,
one of those pieces and you're getting more information and
you know, some people will say, well you can have
over analysis, and we've we've seen that backfire on teams
right where.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
They've gotten too much information to a.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
A certain extent, and well, you know, it doesn't really
help you very much. I mean, when you draft a guy,
you know, top of the draft and he ends up
being a bus and you feel like, gosh, we did
all of our homework and it still doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
But I'd say, you know, an opportunity to pick their
brain if there's something that is said or something they do.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
That that can sort of help you lean one direction
or the other. You just as human, and.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what we do.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
We kind of dial back into our memory of things
and say, Okay, you know, my lasting memory of this
was this experience. And so I think that you add all.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Of that with the fact that also.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
You know, you get a chance to do the medicals,
you got the interviews, you get some of the on
field workout stuff. You know, once in a while there's
a guy that really pops, you know, he does something
out there on the field and you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Say, well, gosh, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Think he was that fast, or oh well he's a
little slower than I thought.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
He was going to be, and then you get to
go back to the film and sort of marry that up.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
So I just I think there's a significant value in
the combine. Plus is an opportunity.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
It's a bit of the preview to free agency, a
lot of deals get done. We already know that George
Payton really got that deal with Russell Wilson done. I know,
I hate to bring that up, but I mean it
did get done out here.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So we get a chance to sort of get a
sense of the direction of things, and you know, all
these themes get a chance to talk to each other.
So a long we did answer. There's a lot of.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Value in the NFL combine, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Way it's interested that you say that, right, because for
years you've always heard that this kind of alleger or
ego tampering period. Anytime you get that many NFL executives
and one building, even though it's shaped around the NFL combine,
there's gonna be conversations that take place.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I know, when you think about the Denver Broncos,
there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Things that they need to help bo Nix out so
he could become the player that he needs to be.
Do you think coming out of this particular weekend that
there's gonna be some other breaking news, maybe some news
with the Broncos as far as other moves that they
may make in free agency.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah, I think they're catching the waters on a few things.
They're trying to.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Find out a little bit of guys that might be available.
You know, for example, Aaron Jones right with the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
They have interest there, There is definitely some interest there.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
But the fact.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Is is most of the rumors or reports are that
he's going to try.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
To stay in Minnesota. And I think you get a
chance to feel that out a little bit because his
representation is going to be out here and you know,
I don't know get the breaking news per se, but
I think that for the team, they get a chance
to talk to agents, they get a chance to talk
to the other teams, and you see what the market's
going to look like for any one of these players
that they may have intererson.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
You know, again, because you.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
Have free agency on the other side of this, Uh,
it's such.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
A quick turnaround.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
We're two weeks.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Away basically as soon as.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
The combine is. We're two weeks away for a free agency.
You know, you really can find your footing on what's
going to be available and then what you're going to
really have to buckle down on for the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, and you guys got an exclusive interview.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You and Benjamin Albright with Broncos GM George Payton. We're
going to replay later in the show tonight. But back
to players that are participating in the combine. Who are
a couple of players that you have an eye on
for the Broncos in this draft?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Well, I mean we'll start.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
With, you know, the running backs. I mean the ash
Jenny's not going to work out. I mean, which is
fine because I think but there's there's not much you
could do that would not make him a first round
pick or the first running back off the board.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
But I excited to.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
See Marian Hampton because I think he has a chance
to be a bit of a riser here. I think
he's faster than maybe he's getting credit for.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
He's not the same time of running back as Javanti Williams.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Like if you watch for Marion Hampton at UNC and
just because they went to the same college, that that's
really where it ends. He's got much better vision, he's
he's faster. I think he's got maybe even a little
bit better hands, and he's a great and pass pro.
So he's he offers a lot of really really high
quality things that he.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Might end up pushing for one of the top spots.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
As far as running backs, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
He's gonna surpass Ashton.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
Janny, but I wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
If he finds himself in the first.
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Round conversation after this weekend.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
You know, on tight end, we found out today that Colson.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Lovelin's not going to work out because he's got a
shoulder injury that he's rehabbing at again, maybe that opens
the door for for somebody else.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I want to see how Harold's.
Speaker 10 (24:51):
Fan and I mean I really like him, but he
looks a little stiff to me, So I really want
to see how he works out.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
You know, people keep comping like Antonio Gates to him,
and man, I tell you what, you caught Hall of famers.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
To any of this project.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
You better be sure about that.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
So I don't want to see how he looks because
he looked a little shipped to me out there at
the Senior Bowl. But yeah, I mean those two position
groups are going to be I think what a lot
of Broncos fans are going to have their.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
Eye on, or should be.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
All right, it's something interesting about this time of the year,
as though it is before the season starts.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
So I got to ask you because inquiring lines.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Want to know, right are there going to be some
some tattoo bets that you make about the upcoming season
or the draft, because once again these things start flying around, man,
guys start making you know, wagers and bets and talk
about tattoos, and I just want to know if Ryan
Airwoods is in that business.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
I'll be very clearly, You've known me long enough. I
love to put things out there that I absolutely have
to pay off later on and make myself, you know,
just embarrassed by now. Listen, No, I will I will
not do something like that.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I will say though that you know, the more I'm around.
And that's why one of the reasons.
Speaker 10 (26:01):
I love coming out here, because once you get your
feet on the ground, you get a chance to get
a sense of what people are thinking. And the boy
last forty eight hours has been enlightening for me on
kind of.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
The direction I think the Broncos are gonna go. We
talked about it a lot on Kaay Sports. I mean,
I as much as I it pains me, I mean
to my core to agree.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It's been all bright.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
He's kind of had a beat on a lot of
these things.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
And you know, the since I got that've been here.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
For the last you know, seventy two hours or so,
is his boy.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
They they really believe that they are really good.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
To the trenches and that if they had a couple of.
Speaker 10 (26:39):
Pieces, they're going to be pretty dangerous this year. And
you know, it's fun to say those kinds of things
in February and.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
You certainly have to back it up.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But they believe in.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
Their ability to scout these players, and they think they've
sort of started to identify who are those players that
are really going to put them over the top.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, and of course, you know the big breaking news
that Rob Gronk Cassel he's going to be the newest
member of the Denver Broncos. You know the in depth
research done on that on next favorite podcast, Dudes on Dudes.
You know, that's big news for Broncos country. But I
want to ask you what is the biggest news that
is not Broncos related that.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Came out of the combine today.
Speaker 10 (27:17):
Well, I thought that the Colt's news was pretty big.
I mean, and once again I go to Ben and
I say, are you shocked by this? And he usually
says no. But I thought opening up a quarterback competition
for your guy that you drafted just a couple of
years ago, speaks to volumes about what they think about
Anthony Richardson, and you know, you sort of wonder if
(27:38):
they kind of have to do this in some way
to say face, if this is just something that's mostly
directed from the locker room because of him tapping out.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean, there's a.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Multitude of questions that.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Really come off of this.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
But I thought that was significant, and especially when you're
going into a draft, it's not particularly deep at quarterback.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I mean, there's some some interesting guys that you could.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
Take some dart throws on, but I don't know, I
don't get the sense from anybody out here that they're.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
In love with this class.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
And that could change, obviously, But you're wondering, okay, so
then if they're going with the VET option, what VET option?
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Because if you know, Justin Fields was sort.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Of floated out there because of the mobility factor. But
Justin Fields is also a bit of an incomplete prospect too.
So the Indianapolis Colts, who kind of viewed themselves for
so many years as a contender, now all of a
sudden looked extremely shaky. Just by one statement today made
to the press.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well, r you know, there's a lot of news coming
out of Indy about the Denver Broncos, but more importantly
the different inside the ball Andrew Sanders. When he was
first drafted, the question was where's he going to play?
Is the inside guy or he's an outside guy? But
today it seemed like it was the hammer was dropped.
He's going to be an inside linebacker. Do you think
with that news dropping, the Broncos will be out of the.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Market for a veteran inside linebacker. I don't think so.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
I think that it's it's an opportunity to you know,
it could mean that they see a path for him
getting on the field the world bit more as an
inside backer more so than an edge But it doesn't
feel like you'd.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Want to put all the eggs in the basket. Sorry,
cloud noise, people with lad trucks will never understand it. Yeah,
you don't want to put put all your eggs in
the basket of Alex Singles and coming off of injury.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
And a guy that hasn't played a full time you
know role there at inside linebacker. That doesn't sound like
a very smart plan. So I do expect that they're
still going to add there, and I really.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Do expect it to be something that they.
Speaker 10 (29:37):
Add in free agency because you want experience there.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I mean, unless they really.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Fall in love with somebody guy, maybe a.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Day two player. But the fact is there's not there's
not an inside linebacker in my opinion, that's going to
be going in.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The first round.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
There's a couple of guys that I do like that
have a chance to I take that back.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
There is one inside linebacker at Alabama that's probably gonna
go in the first round. But out sart of that,
you know, the Broncos are probably in their best situation
to try to look for experience there and that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That makes the most sense to me.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, Ryan, thanks so much for making some time for
us peasants here back in Denver after you were hanging
out with the Broncos brass at the Nuggets Pacers game
last night. We'd appreciate that so much and have a
great rest of your time out there.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We look forward to.

couple of minutes.
Speaker 3 (30:43):

thought about was that scene from Old School.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh, I just watched Out the Other Night Man. What
a great movie.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I just you just shut in the neck with these.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Boys, starts slowing down. What's going on? What's going on?
I think it just guts shot. That was hilarious.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Will Ferrell is the man. He is the man. He
is a man. Absolutely, so many great movies.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They actually referenced when I was running the board for
KWA Sports earlier, they referenced, what's the movie with Mark Wahlberg?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Were there the Cops? No? No, no, no, there was
Bad Cops something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I can't remember, but that's there's that scene in it
where it's like I'm a.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Peak, guys, Yeah, where Mark Wahlberg is like I'm a peak.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Will Ferrell, you know, talking about his previous life. I
won't reference too much of that out there, but yeah,
if you missed the conversation.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
With Ryan Edwards the og of Broncos Country.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now you can find it on the free and totally
redesigned iHeart Radio app where you can set Kowa as

the middays, set KBCO as a pre set, and then
set Taking It for Granted as a preset.
Speaker 2 (32:31):

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Oh okay, dude, I'm thinking we are we cooking. You
mentioned the.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Comment to Ryan if he was going to get any
tattoos because of a.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Story that came out last year of Jarrett Bailey. They
actually caught up with Jared Bailey earlier today.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
He's a guy that covers the Steelers and is a
noted Broncos hater.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
So this is their interaction from earlier today.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
You can find the whole interview on Koa, Colorado on Twitter.
Speaker 11 (33:06):
Join now here at the NFL, combined by Jarrett Bailey
on Bodex's Birthday of all days, All day of all Days. So,
I don't know, man, you made some waves this offseason
when you said that the Broncos for so you get
a tattoo if they make the playoffs. Now you said
that Peter Schrieger absolved you that we on Denver don't
really feel that.
Speaker 12 (33:26):
Way, you know, after a long debates. By the way,
nobody's more upset about this with my girlfriend because I
was like, I gotta, I gotta actually.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Do this now.
Speaker 12 (33:35):
She's like, I mean you really don't.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
So, like I went on Twitter, I was like, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
How about this.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Well, we'll do like a giveaway of some sorts. A
week went by and I was like, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Like I'll eat it.
Speaker 12 (33:43):
So, Broncos fans, I promise you, before twenty twenty five
is done, GMFB will be on my body somewhere I
don't know where yet, but well, we'll get it done.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
We do as I say, we do it lower back
hitter side something like that. Yeah, I mean, at least
have a good story.
Speaker 12 (33:58):
Associated with it, right, So we'll figure out the part
and then once it's up. I'm not gonna announce it
in advance. I'm just gonna tweet a picture of it.
Once it's done, Broncos fans can have their fun with it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Make sure it's work safe. It will be.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 12 (34:11):
We're not gonna have any sort of you know, leak situation,
but it'll it'll get done.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Leave it to Benjamin. I'll right to ask if the
tattoo is going to be on the lower back, right.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Only Benjamin all Bright? Like, would you ever do that?
As a fan? I know that you love sports teams
here in Denver, but you also love your beloved Bengals
and Joe Burrow? Would you ever do something like that?
Like if Cincinnati won a Super Bowl? Would you get fit?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
You know his number Cincinnati being out?
Speaker 9 (34:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Oh okay no, No, Coach Magana's got the Celtics tattoo.
But I say my my tattoos for real importance. So
it's things that like mean something to me, maybe something
me and my brother have, you know, things like that.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
See, that's a whole different level of fandom that I'm
not sure that I'm you're willing to embark on, because
once you get.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
That ek on you, I mean, it's definitely it's there
unless you burn it off.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well, and then Willeby, you burn it off. It just
really burned it off.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Now we're gonna ask George Saddano if he has any
tattoos coming up and talk about Joker's historic performance last night.
We'll get into that next on Broncos Country to Night
Speaker 5 (35:19):
On KOA fifty am and ninety four to one FM
Welcome into it Broncos Country Tonight. I'm your host Grant Smith,
filling in for Benjamin Albright as he is on k
WA Sports all this week covering the NFL combine with
Ryan Edwards in here with.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
My guy Nick Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Nick, you know why we played that birthday song from
the Beatles, right?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Uh, it's Zach Seager's birthday. Nope, it's Kathy Walker's birthday. Nope,
it's happy birthday that Nope. Oh is that my birthday?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's bow Nicks's birthday? Is it twenty five years old?
We're twenty five years young?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Kk, you really say twenty five years young.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I know a lot of people usually see it and
use it that way, and usually that you do it
when you're on a composite side of thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
On the wrong side of thirty, according to Zach Segers.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Last night, wrong side of twenty five. Now that's good, yes,
but happy birthday too.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The Broncos franchise quarterback Bow Knicks twenty five years old
going into his second year, a little older than most
second year quarterbacks, but we all know is a historic
career with Oregon and Auburn before that, and the most
starts ever in college football until this past year when
Oregon quarterback Dylan Gabriel surpassed him on That makes me
(01:13):
beg the question to you, Nick and Zach, if you
want to chime in on this, what's the best and
worst birthday gifts you've ever received?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Ooh, best gift? O? Silence?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Now that is an old man's birthday president, Right, there
was that old man's gifts. I mean, listen, because you've
heard enough of the noise of the world and you're like, please,
just everybody shut up for a day.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yes, I don't think it's an old man thing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I think it's just a thing of just being alive
because there's so many chaotic things around us every single day.
And if you have one of these video boxes, as
my dad would call.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It, that's a TV right day video boxes.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
It has so much stuff that's on sports, entertainment, politics.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
And and gets drive you crazy. Right, Sometimes silence is great.
And what I mean by that is turning off the TV.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, right, sitting there talking to your family, picking up
a book.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Right, crossword puzzle? Are you good at? Let's define good? Well,
here's how I'll define it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I am not good, Okay, I don't know why. I
was really good at math in high school, but it's
just my brain does not work that way.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know why. I just can't can't crack the code.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
See I can, I can do it, but I wouldn't
say that if we were trying to gauge.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know, am I expert?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
My wife does those things a lot. I'm just gonna
stick with a traditional crossword.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Puzzle, right, I do that. There you go.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'm also not very good at those. Maybe I'm just dumb.
Is that what I'm figuring out right now? Just talking
out loud?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, all right, grant see I'm not gonna allow you
to do that. No negative self time, no, no self talk.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well, we all learn at different stages and levels. Like
for me, I'm a visual learners. I gotta be hands on, right,
I got to get my hands into dirt. Don't just
tell me okay do this, No no, no, no, I need
to get my hands dirty. But but anyway, I mean,
for you, will you think about, you know, your best
birthday gift?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Because mine was just sometimes it's just pieces, just like
some quiet time, some quiet time. Yeah, what let's you
what's yours. I've always had the same answer for this question.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
If you want to get involved, let us know your
best or worst birthday gift you've ever received. Chime in
on the Common Spirit Health text line at five six
six nine zero. The best gift I ever received I
think I was maybe eleven, eleven or twelve years old.
I got a Sega dreamcast oo, and I thought that
was the most.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Unreal thing I had ever seen.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Had been playing video games my whole life, you know,
but I feel like that was the first one I
got where I'm like, damn, this looks real, Like this
is better, you know, because that was before HDTV.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're like, this looks better than sports on TV.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
When I'm playing my NBA two K game or whatever
it was at the time, my favorite game was Crazy Taxi.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's like Crazy Taxi? Oh man.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So it's just like this wild driving game where your
cab and you go around and pick people up and
then you have to get there in a certain amount
of time and if you get there fast enough, then
you get more time for the next ride.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
And my whole family would play it really Yeah, such
a fun game.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I've never played that game so you talk about video
games like and merely I thought about the own Nintendo game. Yeah,
well you had to continue to blow This looks like,
wait a minute, how did the manufacturer become so destructive? Well,
you can't even insert your game into the console. Happen
a number amount of times without having.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To kind of Jimmy rigg it in order to get
to work.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh. Man, So I had the Sega dream or Sega
Genesis console before I had the Sega dream Cast, and
there was this that was called like Michael Jordan Versus
Larry Bird, and it was my all time favorite video game.
But then I jumped from that to a Sega Dreamcast
where you're like, these graphics are just the pixels?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Yeah, just a game changer, man. So that was the
first one.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Was that the first time Sonic Game was introduced to
Sonic Game.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh yeah, I had Sonic on there too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And then I remember one time my dad came in
and he walked in and I was playing my NBA
game and he's like, I didn't know this game was
on TV today.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I said, Dad, this is a video game.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I didn't make it a minute.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I know the systems were when you were going up
a lot better than mine. But I don't know if
if the visuals were that great where it looked like
a live NBA.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Game, Well, maybe my dad had a couple of bud
bleizers that they who knows, you know, maybe he had
his spirit gog goes on.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But was that you haven't told us your best or
worse birthday gift?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I was stumped for a second, but Grant talking about
the Sega Dreamcast has me thinking the Madden NFL O seven.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Funny enough a game you were in.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I remember playing with the Denver Broncos and starting safety
Nick Ferguson. I swear you were like an eighty five overall.
But that game isn't undrinted. That game is imprinted in
my mind. That's like my first ever Madden game. Definitely
helped me fall in love with a football. Shawn Alexander
on the cover. But yeah, that was a big moment
in my life getting that one. Douggy my mom to.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Get me that game from target and go ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I will say this man. For me, it was a
Techno Bowl, Yeah, that very first Techno Bowl. Just run
the ball a boat jasher, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
It down, left down, out of the game. But that's
that's what it is. Like, what do you think so
for Bowl right now, with today's being his birthday, what
do you think is probably the biggest thing on his
mind that he's thinking. Okay, well, not just a gift
he wants to give. I mean he wants to receive
for the gift he wants to give.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Well, I know the gift he wants to give at
least the Broncos country. What's that that's a super Bowl victory?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Super Bowl victory.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I mean, I loved some of his comments at the
end of last year, where you know, everyone's praising him
for such a great rookie season. He said, we didn't
really accomplish anything this year. We got way bigger goals.
We made it to the playoffs, but now we want
to compete in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I love his attitude towards that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
But I think the biggest gift he would love to recive,
at least according to Susie Warden, who I had on
my podcast Taking It for Granted, the podcast on the
free iHeartRadio app you can set k away as a
preset if you'd like, and also my podcast. But Susie
Wargen got to work with bow at an event at
a watch store this past year, some fine jewelry store,
(07:45):
and she said, I had no idea how into watches
bow was said he picked up.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Four or five that day, So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Maybe his significant other is getting him a nice new watch,
very expensive watch, a very expensive new watch.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Well you know what that was kind of when I played,
that was one of my vices. Like some guys had
no adult beverages. Yeah, you know, things that kind of
resonated with the mile high area.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm down with that. Or maybe it was women,
But for me, my vice were watches. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I had to tell myself that if I walked into
any mall, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I go past the store that so watches. Yeah. See.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
My big obsession as a kid was the latest signature
basketball shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Signature basketball. Yeah, so like.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Alan Iverson whenever he put out a new shoe every year.
The answer I was getting that he was my favorite player. Yes,
so yeah, when he had the one with the zippers.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
On the front.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, I remember getting those from my I forget what
year it was, maybe eighth grade basketball season.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I was like, I have the coolest shoes. Out of anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I'm gonna play all year because I got these white
Iverson's with the black sides.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And the zipper the front.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
See, I'm a sneaker guy myself. And my daughter told.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Me the other day, She's like, dude, you have too
many sneakers? Never, yes, yes, and like some of them
where A lot of them are in storage?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Right in storage. You don't even wear them?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No, I don't what size you got up ten and
a half eleven depending on a sneaker.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Too big for me. Give me a new home if
you need to.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That was the thing, man, because I approachase sneakers, but
I would never wear them. I was just opened the box,
look at them and just put them back in storage
just to know that I have them.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Can't get the creases, yes, you don't what creases or
dirt on them? And just ruin the shoe. Yeah, yes, see.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
The other thing I was obsessed with as a kid.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And we'll talk a little bit about Sean Payton and
George Peyton talking today at the NFL Combine just in
a minute. But uh hats and that has never left me.
My wife is a same way as your daughter with
your shoes. She's like, you have fifty five hats and
you only wear the same seven all the time. And
I'm like, I don't know what I'm gonna need that hat?
When's is gonna match with the perfect outfit or the
(10:11):
right party whatever we're doing.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know, I got to save that for a special occasion.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, you know what this is why when I think about,
you know, my kids, and just think about someself when
you were younger, and every opportunity that you could to
kind of entice your parents to go to a store
to buy toys, right, you would. And it's just like
the moment you open that first one, it was just like, Okay,
I open it, I have it. Now, I'm moving right along.
(10:35):
It's kind of that type of thing. And I know
it's not just with me. It may be with other
people as well, but it's great. Today is a bow
Knick's birthday, and you're right, the greatest gift that he
could ever give or bestow on the Broncos country could
be a super Bowl because that now puts his name
(10:56):
in that ring of fame with John no Way in.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Peyton Manning, only two to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, the only two and then no One is though
the Broncos have never Bo would be the first Bow
would be the first Broncos quarterback to ever be drafted,
developed by this team.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And bring them a Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Isn't that wild to take adviz with the storied franchise
that the Broncos are and they've never drafted a quarterback
that has won the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
For him, that is wild.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
But most most people don't know this, and I'll always
give this as a tribute question.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Who was the.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Only quarterback drafted by the different Broncos to win a
playoff game?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Jake color hoop?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Uh not Jake Palmer, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Tim Tebow Oh yeah, the miracles, yeah, God shining down
on him last day and with that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Past Timmy Tibo, Yeah God, what a great call, man.
That's still one of my favorite ever Dave Logan calls.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I remember watching being home watching it play and watching
the Steelers defense like sounds about to happen because Troy
Poulamlo is doing those Troy Paulamlo things.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Why you so close in life? Why he was cheaking
up so close up?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And then all of a sudden, DT ran a slant.
Oh man, I still remember where I was too.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I was hanging out in college at at my apartment
with a couple buddies and had a buddy who was
a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, and this was before I had.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Any connection to the Broncos other than my dad being
a huge John Elway fan growing up. But I remember
him just losing his mind, Like I thought he was
going to legitimately cry when Tebow completed that pass to
DT and they won that game.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Oh well, to be fair, there were some people who
did cry because you got to think about it. At
that time, no one thought that the Broncos were capable
of doing what they did that particular year, and there
was a lot of negative things that was said, aright
from me, So I totally understand about Tim Tebow and
his limited skills set, But to do that in that
(13:02):
particular moment and that call from Dave Logan to that
particular team and knowing his though he's stiff on I
til on the way to the end zone.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, man, what a special moment for Broncos country rip DT.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What a great dude he was too. But yeah, that's
like I still think that, you know, I'm not the
most religious person ever, but I think God was literally
playing with Tim Tebo, like God's arm on him, because
you know Tim Tebo can't throw the ball right, but
that was a freaking perfect strike.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Like that was some divine intervention right there.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I would I am a god fearing man, and I too,
like like you Grant think that you know what, there
were some angels in the outfield.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, man of movies. From myseld was it was ages in.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
The outfield on that particular play because no one saw
that it was like the first place, that's what we
call the one hitter quitter.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Out Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well, you know, speaking of the next quarterback that has
been been drafted by the Broncos to lead them to
a playoff win hopefully this upcoming year, bo Nix Sean
Payton was asking and was asked about how he could improve,
how he could grow in year two as a Broncos
starting quarterback.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You just had to watch the games.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
You know, the narrative, and you just have to watch
the athleticism, the learning curve. Look if if I if
I did this, let's just say from immediate perspective for
a living and I have this vision as to what
I think he is and then all of a sudden.
You know, look, he's got plenty of arm strength.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
We saw it.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
You know, just look at all the numbers relative to
his completions downfield. I think he was third and twenty
yard completions. I mean, and I this last year respectfully,
I just think it's a tough position to evaluate. And
there's a difference between entertainment.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Entertainment and.
Speaker 9 (15:10):
Then from the club side where it's everything, and so
the entertainment, and that's with no disrespect, but the access
to truly evaluate it properly. But it's a it's a
good lesson yearly that it can it can move a
club certain directions if you're not paying attention any position.
(15:34):
And so we felt pretty confident that and at that
time a year ago, it wasn't like we didn't know
who that was. We just felt like we'd be able
to get that right or at least have a good
likelihood of getting it right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
So obviously, and A Sean peyton Way didn't really answer
the question that was posed to him, but loves bo Nix,
and you can hear that whatever he talks about him,
gush is about him. Would how would you improve bnicks
if you're working with the Broncos this year.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What would you.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Say Bownix needs to improve this offseason to take take
the next step going into year two.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Footwork For footwork, I don't care how many years you've
been in the league, you can never go rome with
constant details as it pertains to your footwork and knowing
as though quarterbacks use their feet to throw the ball,
and those sounds uncommon because we always think about, well,
he has used his arms to throw the ball, but
(16:33):
guess what his feet sets the table for where he
throws the ball. That's why when you see a quarterback
going through their progressions, it is hitch one, hitch two.
And what that means is that he's looking at a receiver.
Now he's coming off of that guy. He's got to
reset his feet, He's now got to readjust he's got
to reframe his sneaking and how he wants.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
To throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Those things are where I would like to see Bow improve.
Because we've seen Dak Prescott with the drills that he
would do the Secura type drills just on live that's right,
and we've seen Peyton Manning do similar type of drills
and his footwork. That is where Bo needs to continue
to improve and if he continues in that area and
(17:13):
improves in that area passes down field, man, that's just
me Like, that's just like butter.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, I agree, man.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, we'll ask Ryan Edwards about that when we come
back from break here. He's going to be joining us
live from Indianapolis covering the NFL combine for KOA and
we'll get to that next on Broncos Country tonight.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
And when we leave you with this, before we go
to break.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Vers football first snap of overtime here tied at twenty
three line of scrimmage, the.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Bronco twenty shotgun for Tim Tebow. Short motion is that
he Royal Tim playfakes in the pocket, sets throws past
top to Mary's Thomas. How over the forty five midfield.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Here we go forty thirty five foot race, twenty fifteen
ten touchdown den Fury. So that's all for a dead work.
(18:08):
The crowd has lost their mind. It is over the
first play of overtime, a.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Play faked by Tim Teball, a pass to Tamarus Thomas
to the end zone in eighty yar play, and the
Broncos are headed to Foxborough to play the Patriots next Saturday.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
Thing would be having a chance to visit with these
guys in person. I don't know how many years this
has been now, Remember the beginning of the combine was
to combine medical information, and that was.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
The purpose of it.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
We were, you know, as a league, we were all
the teams were going to see these guys, asking them
to basically get looked at multiple times. So and then
they ran them on a forty. Then we had some
other drills and then we said let's interview them.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And so it's grown.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
But I would say for me, it's having a conversation
in a twenty minute timeframe, maybe an informal conversation, but
putting a face with the name and the film that
we're going to study and we'll get all this on video.
But I think that's one part of it. And then
two seeing them, you know, kind of on the hook,
(19:28):
you know, so to say, you're seeing them in person.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Welcome back to it, Broncos Country Tonight, I'm your guest
host Grant Smith filling in for Benjamin Albright alongside Nick Ferguson.
I was Sean Payton talking to the media today at
the NFL Combine on the value of the NFL combine
and someone who is out there covering it for the station,
our very own Ryan Edwards, the OG.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Of Broncos Country.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Tonight, Ryan, how.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Are you man?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
First time, longtime?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, Ryan, I want to ask you that same question
that Sean Payton was asked earlier today. What is the
value of the NFL combine in your eyes?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Well, I mean he said it there what it would
originally was. I do think it's morphed into a lot more.
And of course the NFL has found ways to monetize it,
and anytime you can monetize something that adds value obviously,
but I think there's an opportunity really to you know,
just you know, pieces of the puzzle, you know, and
that that was a point that was made earlier today
by Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Dolphins, and
(20:28):
he said, yeah, I mean this is just you know,
one of those pieces and you're getting more information and
you know, some people will say, well you can have
over analysis, and we've we've seen that backfire on teams
right where.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
They've gotten too much information to a.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
A certain extent, and well, you know, it doesn't really
help you very much. I mean, when you draft a guy,
you know, top of the draft and he ends up
being a bus and you feel like, gosh, we did
all of our homework and it still doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
But I'd say, you know, an opportunity to pick their
brain if there's something that is said or something they do.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
That that can sort of help you lean one direction
or the other. You just as human, and.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what we do.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
We kind of dial back into our memory of things
and say, Okay, you know, my lasting memory of this
was this experience. And so I think that you add all.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Of that with the fact that also.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
You know, you get a chance to do the medicals,
you got the interviews, you get some of the on
field workout stuff. You know, once in a while there's
a guy that really pops, you know, he does something
out there on the field and you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Say, well, gosh, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Think he was that fast, or oh well he's a
little slower than I thought.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
He was going to be, and then you get to
go back to the film and sort of marry that up.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
So I just I think there's a significant value in
the combine. Plus is an opportunity.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
It's a bit of the preview to free agency, a
lot of deals get done. We already know that George
Payton really got that deal with Russell Wilson done. I know,
I hate to bring that up, but I mean it
did get done out here.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So we get a chance to sort of get a
sense of the direction of things, and you know, all
these themes get a chance to talk to each other.
So a long we did answer. There's a lot of.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Value in the NFL combine, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Way it's interested that you say that, right, because for
years you've always heard that this kind of alleger or
ego tampering period. Anytime you get that many NFL executives
and one building, even though it's shaped around the NFL combine,
there's gonna be conversations that take place.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And I know, when you think about the Denver Broncos,
there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Things that they need to help bo Nix out so
he could become the player that he needs to be.
Do you think coming out of this particular weekend that
there's gonna be some other breaking news, maybe some news
with the Broncos as far as other moves that they
may make in free agency.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah, I think they're catching the waters on a few things.
They're trying to.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Find out a little bit of guys that might be available.
You know, for example, Aaron Jones right with the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
They have interest there, There is definitely some interest there.
Speaker 10 (22:47):
But the fact.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Is is most of the rumors or reports are that
he's going to try.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
To stay in Minnesota. And I think you get a
chance to feel that out a little bit because his
representation is going to be out here and you know,
I don't know get the breaking news per se, but
I think that for the team, they get a chance
to talk to agents, they get a chance to talk
to the other teams, and you see what the market's
going to look like for any one of these players
that they may have intererson.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
You know, again, because you.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
Have free agency on the other side of this, Uh,
it's such.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
A quick turnaround.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
We're two weeks.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Away basically as soon as.
Speaker 10 (23:18):
The combine is. We're two weeks away for a free agency.
You know, you really can find your footing on what's
going to be available and then what you're going to
really have to buckle down on for the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, and you guys got an exclusive interview.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You and Benjamin Albright with Broncos GM George Payton. We're
going to replay later in the show tonight. But back
to players that are participating in the combine. Who are
a couple of players that you have an eye on
for the Broncos in this draft?
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Well, I mean we'll start.
Speaker 10 (23:47):
With, you know, the running backs. I mean the ash
Jenny's not going to work out. I mean, which is
fine because I think but there's there's not much you
could do that would not make him a first round
pick or the first running back off the board.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
But I excited to.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
See Marian Hampton because I think he has a chance
to be a bit of a riser here. I think
he's faster than maybe he's getting credit for.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
He's not the same time of running back as Javanti Williams.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Like if you watch for Marion Hampton at UNC and
just because they went to the same college, that that's
really where it ends. He's got much better vision, he's
he's faster. I think he's got maybe even a little
bit better hands, and he's a great and pass pro.
So he's he offers a lot of really really high
quality things that he.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Might end up pushing for one of the top spots.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
As far as running backs, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
He's gonna surpass Ashton.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
Janny, but I wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
If he finds himself in the first.
Speaker 10 (24:38):
Round conversation after this weekend.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
You know, on tight end, we found out today that Colson.
Speaker 10 (24:43):
Lovelin's not going to work out because he's got a
shoulder injury that he's rehabbing at again, maybe that opens
the door for for somebody else.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
I want to see how Harold's.
Speaker 10 (24:51):
Fan and I mean I really like him, but he
looks a little stiff to me, So I really want
to see how he works out.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
You know, people keep comping like Antonio Gates to him,
and man, I tell you what, you caught Hall of famers.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
To any of this project.
Speaker 10 (25:03):
You better be sure about that.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
So I don't want to see how he looks because
he looked a little shipped to me out there at
the Senior Bowl. But yeah, I mean those two position
groups are going to be I think what a lot
of Broncos fans are going to have their.
Speaker 10 (25:15):
Eye on, or should be.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
All right, it's something interesting about this time of the year,
as though it is before the season starts.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
So I got to ask you because inquiring lines.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Want to know, right are there going to be some
some tattoo bets that you make about the upcoming season
or the draft, because once again these things start flying around, man,
guys start making you know, wagers and bets and talk
about tattoos, and I just want to know if Ryan
Airwoods is in that business.
Speaker 10 (25:45):
I'll be very clearly, You've known me long enough. I
love to put things out there that I absolutely have
to pay off later on and make myself, you know,
just embarrassed by now. Listen, No, I will I will
not do something like that.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I will say though that you know, the more I'm around.
And that's why one of the reasons.
Speaker 10 (26:01):
I love coming out here, because once you get your
feet on the ground, you get a chance to get
a sense of what people are thinking. And the boy
last forty eight hours has been enlightening for me on
kind of.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
The direction I think the Broncos are gonna go. We
talked about it a lot on Kaay Sports. I mean,
I as much as I it pains me, I mean
to my core to agree.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
It's been all bright.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
He's kind of had a beat on a lot of
these things.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
And you know, the since I got that've been here.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
For the last you know, seventy two hours or so,
is his boy.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
They they really believe that they are really good.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
To the trenches and that if they had a couple of.
Speaker 10 (26:39):
Pieces, they're going to be pretty dangerous this year. And
you know, it's fun to say those kinds of things
in February and.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
You certainly have to back it up.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But they believe in.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
Their ability to scout these players, and they think they've
sort of started to identify who are those players that
are really going to put them over the top.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, and of course, you know the big breaking news
that Rob Gronk Cassel he's going to be the newest
member of the Denver Broncos. You know the in depth
research done on that on next favorite podcast, Dudes on Dudes.
You know, that's big news for Broncos country. But I
want to ask you what is the biggest news that
is not Broncos related that.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Came out of the combine today.
Speaker 10 (27:17):
Well, I thought that the Colt's news was pretty big.
I mean, and once again I go to Ben and
I say, are you shocked by this? And he usually
says no. But I thought opening up a quarterback competition
for your guy that you drafted just a couple of
years ago, speaks to volumes about what they think about
Anthony Richardson, and you know, you sort of wonder if
(27:38):
they kind of have to do this in some way
to say face, if this is just something that's mostly
directed from the locker room because of him tapping out.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Earlier this year.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I mean, there's a.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Multitude of questions that.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Really come off of this.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
But I thought that was significant, and especially when you're
going into a draft, it's not particularly deep at quarterback.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I mean, there's some some interesting guys that you could.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
Take some dart throws on, but I don't know, I
don't get the sense from anybody out here that they're.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
In love with this class.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
And that could change, obviously, But you're wondering, okay, so
then if they're going with the VET option, what VET option?
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Because if you know, Justin Fields was sort.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Of floated out there because of the mobility factor. But
Justin Fields is also a bit of an incomplete prospect too.
So the Indianapolis Colts, who kind of viewed themselves for
so many years as a contender, now all of a
sudden looked extremely shaky. Just by one statement today made
to the press.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well, r you know, there's a lot of news coming
out of Indy about the Denver Broncos, but more importantly
the different inside the ball Andrew Sanders. When he was
first drafted, the question was where's he going to play?
Is the inside guy or he's an outside guy? But
today it seemed like it was the hammer was dropped.
He's going to be an inside linebacker. Do you think
with that news dropping, the Broncos will be out of the.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Market for a veteran inside linebacker. I don't think so.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
I think that it's it's an opportunity to you know,
it could mean that they see a path for him
getting on the field the world bit more as an
inside backer more so than an edge But it doesn't
feel like you'd.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Want to put all the eggs in the basket. Sorry,
cloud noise, people with lad trucks will never understand it. Yeah,
you don't want to put put all your eggs in
the basket of Alex Singles and coming off of injury.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
And a guy that hasn't played a full time you
know role there at inside linebacker. That doesn't sound like
a very smart plan. So I do expect that they're
still going to add there, and I really.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Do expect it to be something that they.
Speaker 10 (29:37):
Add in free agency because you want experience there.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I mean, unless they really.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Fall in love with somebody guy, maybe a.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Day two player. But the fact is there's not there's
not an inside linebacker in my opinion, that's going to
be going in.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
The first round.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
There's a couple of guys that I do like that
have a chance to I take that back.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
There is one inside linebacker at Alabama that's probably gonna
go in the first round. But out sart of that,
you know, the Broncos are probably in their best situation
to try to look for experience there and that.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
That makes the most sense to me.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, Ryan, thanks so much for making some time for
us peasants here back in Denver after you were hanging
out with the Broncos brass at the Nuggets Pacers game
last night. We'd appreciate that so much and have a
great rest of your time out there.

Speaker 3 (30:43):

thought about was that scene from Old School.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh, I just watched Out the Other Night Man. What
a great movie.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I just you just shut in the neck with these.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Boys, starts slowing down. What's going on? What's going on?
I think it just guts shot. That was hilarious.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Will Ferrell is the man. He is the man. He
is a man. Absolutely, so many great movies.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
They actually referenced when I was running the board for
KWA Sports earlier, they referenced, what's the movie with Mark Wahlberg?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Were there the Cops? No? No, no, no, there was
Bad Cops something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I can't remember, but that's there's that scene in it
where it's like I'm a.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Peak, guys, Yeah, where Mark Wahlberg is like I'm a peak.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Will Ferrell, you know, talking about his previous life. I
won't reference too much of that out there, but yeah,
if you missed the conversation.
Speaker 2 (31:56):

Speaker 1 (32:46):

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Story that came out last year of Jarrett Bailey. They
actually caught up with Jared Bailey earlier today.

Speaker 11 (33:06):
Join now here at the NFL, combined by Jarrett Bailey
on Bodex's Birthday of all days, All day of all Days. So,
I don't know, man, you made some waves this offseason
when you said that the Broncos for so you get
a tattoo if they make the playoffs. Now you said
that Peter Schrieger absolved you that we on Denver don't
really feel that.
Speaker 12 (33:26):
Way, you know, after a long debates. By the way,
nobody's more upset about this with my girlfriend because I
was like, I gotta, I gotta actually.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Do this now.
Speaker 12 (33:35):
She's like, I mean you really don't.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
So, like I went on Twitter, I was like, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
How about this.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Well, we'll do like a giveaway of some sorts. A
week went by and I was like, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Like I'll eat it.
Speaker 12 (33:43):
So, Broncos fans, I promise you, before twenty twenty five

tattoo is going to be on the lower back, right.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Only Benjamin all Bright? Like, would you ever do that?
As a fan? I know that you love sports teams
here in Denver, but you also love your beloved Bengals
and Joe Burrow? Would you ever do something like that?
Like if Cincinnati won a Super Bowl? Would you get fit?

Oh okay no, No, Coach Magana's got the Celtics tattoo.
But I say my my tattoos for real importance. So
it's things that like mean something to me, maybe something
me and my brother have, you know, things like that.

not sure that I'm you're willing to embark on, because
once you get.
