really have to do anything. I just wanted to be around. Yeah,
my day to be around the family. And as a dad,
you kind of get that one day. Whatever you want
to do, whatever you want to eat that day, that's
it because after Father's Day goes back to what it

and onions?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Man?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
When wait, when I was in high school and I
was playing football, that was the thing to go to
that was the go to meal.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I couldn't do it. I couldn't do chop liver. Man
a lot of things. That's one of those things.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I'm just like, man, you sautated with onions, some lettuce, tomatoes, mayo.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here's here's the here's the first. Here's the first.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Way to know that something is disgusting is if you
say you food is disgusting, and then they instantly go
to know what if you if you do this to it.
It's the first thing they do with brussel sprouts. Brussels
sprouts are always going to be gross. No, always grow.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
No, Brussels sprouce are awesome. I used to think they
were terrible. You get Brussels sprouts, you get some turkey bacon, and.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Then you regular bacon nonk the glaze on top of it.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You know, it's even better if you take that turkey bacon,
the balsamic glaze and you just take the Brussels sprout
and throw it directly in the trash.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And the sprouts are so they're gross. They are gross,
and I like vegetables, they're gross.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
No, they're not. They're really good for you right there.
That's in it too. If you want to everyone. You know,
you can go different ways.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I don't want to have to chop a forest down,
drown it and vinegar and throwing bacon on top of
it just to make something palatable.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
See, I always thought Brussels sprouts were gross, and my
mom great cook growing up, she did not know how
to cook Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Soggy and soft. Yeah, you can't steam, you have to
bake them.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Has your wife or been, in your case, anyone and
that you've dated ever did this to you when they
see something and they go like, oh, this smells terrible
and then give it to you and have you to
smell it, And I'm always yeah, or she's like, oh
this tastes terrible, taste this, I'm like for what I.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Already got a review?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, especially with a pregnant wife, Yes, I'm the first smeller.
Oh before she before she even thinks about smelling it.
Because with odd man, Yeah, like can just derail them?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Then my my goal for you is at some point
in your life, whenever that is down the road, that
you have an opportunity to experience it because it is
just that an experience.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Because when my wife was pregnant.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I had just had knee surgery, so and we had
stairs in our place in George, so I had to think.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I had to go upstairs to her.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
But by the time I got up to the top stair,
she was saying, guess what, she didn't want it anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It's too late. You got to do it right now.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Then I gotta lit back downstairs and try to fix
something else.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Some manytimes you fall upstairs.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
No I know.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Even if I did, I'm not gonna tell you.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
But here's what you do where you have a leg answer,
you put your back against the.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Wall and you starting to slide down the stead.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You needed one of those seats of the hook.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's for old people.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
But anyone out there, your wife is being married, you've
gone through that same thing because she has urges and
and it seemed like they change every trimester.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Right, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Something that she loved three months ago. Can't even smell
it now, can't look at it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So that means if she can't eat it, you can't
eat it either, exactly. Can't be in the house, yes,
can't be in the house at all.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's why I like my life.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I don't have to worry about that. No, that's selfish, Ben,
Now sure, I'm cool with that. I was shoe lonely? Yes?
Who said lonely?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Benjamin Albright said about lonely Ben one, night stands can
only take you so far, far, so far?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Forty five years in count He's like, now serving thirty
two is okay? Twenty one? I'm saying if you do.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Anyway, there's not to be like the scene from Hitch
where he's like he's talking to.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Michael Rappaport as his brother in law or whatever, and
he's like, oh, oh, do you want me to go bring
the girls over here? Fellaws?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
So you want to stick with your you know, I'm
telling you to make comments on my life?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Are you what happened to Hitch?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
In that movie? That's right. He wound up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Meeting another stone cold ten.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
He ended up he needed to involved with.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yeah, he wound after doing all that, he's still wound
up with a stone cold ten.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Is that what you think is gonna happen for you?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
One way or the other?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Okay? I e the way, Dan, I wish there might.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Not be a one in It might just be a zero.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Hey, either way, I wish that happens for you where
you're life.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You want me to get somebody pregnant at four I'm
forty five years old.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, yes, I want you to have the luxury
of knowing what it is to be.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I would be sixty years old with an eighteen year
old that that ain't happening.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean there are guys out there over.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yes, over sixty three years old, or you know, if
it happened right now, sixty four years old, I'll be
sixty years old with a teenager.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That ain't happening.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Hey, listen, man, you can actually see your life and
live vicariously through your child.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's a good thing. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't need to live vicariously. I live just fine
on my own.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
M sounds like someone is very selfish. Grant sure, good
that he's alone. I don't need a younger, cuter me
to compete with. Oh is that why you got a dog?
Speaker 9 (08:58):

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Why you got it? Russian wolf found? Is it a
Russian wolf found? Yeah? It is. Yeah, she's only like
eight weeks old.

right now, and it's a she.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, it's a she.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Interesting on purpose? On purpose. Why did you think I
was getting a boy? Dollars are the worst for the
first two years. Yeah, they're fine after that, they can be,
but they're the worst for the first two years.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And she's on rid enough. I'm good.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I mean it took me. It took me a week
to get her house trained.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
But but then, so what do you watch the games
with being able to go to a Broncos game.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I've worked with the Broncos games. I'm there at the game.
I don't watch them with anybody, but that's watching you at.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The burn down on the way yez, but you.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
But that's the way that you can expand and share
all of this that you have with someone else.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
By not watching them with them anyway because I'm working them.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yes, but they can but they can now embrace what
you're doing, and it's like, oh, this is awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I get chance to go to the game.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I get a chance to sit in areas that most
people don't get a chance to sit.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You share that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
That's the whole thing of like being a parent, that
you're able to share those moments with someone else.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I wouldn't get to share that.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
They would just sit there while I worked.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
What do you think happens when my kids go with
me to the game.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
They they get to sit in the most while I
while I while I work, and they get a chance
to see that it inspires them to go out and
wanted to achieve whatever God has for them in life.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'm not trying to inspire anybody. See, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm so not.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
If you if I'm if I'm your pinnacle, if I'm
the goal for you, You've shot too low.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Saying we already know that you have to type a
guy that lowers the bar anywhere.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Look I'm and still manages to limbo under it. That's uh,
you know, it's how uh we got that went on
forever we got. Robbie Bean comes up in the next segment.
By the way, the text line is like here the
three or three ba, I'm on your side. Forty four

in the marriage in a relationship. You just got through
telling me you get one day a year to do
all this what that that's because of his Father's Day.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
That's just do you get to do the rest of that.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You get to eat what you want.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
When you want after you guys just got through telling
you to throw out all the bacon house your wife's
got prevan.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh yeah, I'm a grown I'm a grown ass man.
Of course I do what I want. Is she listening
right now? He's gonna start lighting up here to bout
forty five seconds. Listen. I could call my.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Wife and I and and I'm sure that she would
confirm that I would be I can you whatever I
want within the ravifications of our marriage.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, Yeah, I don't need I don't have I don't
have any ramifications.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I do what I want when I want.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
If my wife says it's okay, she grants it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That, I could do it sometimes if she's in a
good mood. I'm just saying, you, guys, capitable.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
You know, I don't answer that you know, I don't
answer to anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
See, but it's not just you're not answering to anyone
because you're making these decisions collectively as one unit.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, makes all the decisions, you know what.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
See, he wants to be James Harden the sports, right,

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, I can go to the gentleman's club, because that's.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
What I'm talking about. Yes.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
The fact that dribbling off the ball and thinking everything
is based on them is you know what, If that
is the way that you like it.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Then then so be it. Because think about it this way.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Okay, if you were a professional athlete, and let's just
take bow knicks for example. Bow has the ability to
be able to do some of what he wants on
a football field. But if coach Peyton calls and specify
a play, he needs to run that play. And if
he doesn't run that play, he now needs to come
(13:27):
back to the sideline if that play is unsuccessful, and
he needs to explain why you chose to do what
you did.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't have any of that.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
I'm my own coach, Jack quarter you, I'm Jaen in
the AFL where I'm the coach and the quarterback and
we're winning championships.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But yeah, but you're you're winning them in the Indoor
Football League. You're not winning them in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
There's the difference always in the minor leagues of life
without a partner.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
But I enjoy my life. I do what I want.
What I got up at noon today and had breakfast.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
I couldn't do that if I had a patchful of
critters running around.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Wow, patchful of critters. Interesting, that's where it's a line
from Firefly. What movie is that?
Speaker 5 (15:28):
It's the TV show Nathan fill from the Road. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's a line from there. So one nice has been
when you're sixty four, you'll be all alone. I don't
even know if I'm gonna make it to sixty four.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I live. I lived a really rough life. No optimism beyonder.
That was a little more of it. I'm sorry. Maybe
maybe I will be, Maybe I won't be.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I don't know. Maybe I'll be running the Senior Home.
Maybe I'll be at the Glorious Pines or whatever, running
the place.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I'm just saying, Ben in the Senior Home single, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Disco fighting with people on Twitter, disco.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Ball hanging from the ceiling.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Got a disco ball hanging from the ceiling with some Martha,
what's going on? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
How you doing? Oh Jim passed away? Really, Benjamin's here
for you.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I'm right here for you.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh Roby be He's gonna save us from uh whatever.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
This was next Broucus Country tonight, going down to the
Kwait Cuma Sprell Hotline to bring on a good friend,
romy Bean from CBS Colorado.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Romy How you doing, I'm.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Doing good friends, doing pretty well.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
A little dejected about the Nuggets, but then the Abs
come out and hang fifteen goals and whatever their fifteen
goals in that game.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Uh after I think.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You had a tweet about it after they only had
how many in the series and then nine in the
first game.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Uh so, at least we got something going for us
right now positive here in Colorado.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Yeah, you know, it was still like the as we're
going to get the vengeance on Minnesota that the Nuggets
didn't have, and you know, Frankly worked right up to
the task.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
If we're going to be honest, Roman, before you join,
as we were talking about well what's kind of the
future for David Adaman and Jamal Murray's name came up,
and when I talked to Ben, he was at the
frame of mind those are two guys that he would
be willing to watch the.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Nuggets part ways with it. I mean, do you feel
the same way about it?
Speaker 8 (17:25):
You know, I think and it's kind of talk at
this point, but the report's coming up that the Nuggets
will listen to calls on anybody, and I think they
should absolutely listen to anybody not named Nicoliokis. I think
the biggest problem with the Nuggets is who's going to
want to take off these contracts? They got big, big contracts.
You know, a guy that Nuggets fans will hate me
for saying. But I think when you look at and
(17:47):
Aaron Gordon, he's just a liability at this point. You know,
Aaron Gordon is the heart and soul of this team
in so many ways, but he has not been fully
healthy since the championship year. And it's hard for me
to believe that his body. I think his body, and
we see this so much, is just kind of failing him.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I don't know how.
Speaker 7 (18:07):
I think that's the lie of the ability. I think
that's a concern.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
But with his contract, that's not a tradable contract because
any other team's going to look at that same way.
You know, Jamal Murray is a guy that I think
obviously they've kind of never consider that and he's been
off the table, But I would put him on the table.
I think when you're at the point now when you
look at what happened in this series with Minnesota and
(18:30):
the defense and the defensive the way it's been played,
even with Jamal Murray, you know, like his defense that's
certainly not his trung suit, and I think you have
to look at do we blow this whole thing up,
so to speak, quote unquote, and he has to look
at it. You absolutely have to look at it. Jamal
Murray's a guy that I think that if it's the
right offer and you can get in the right pieces
(18:53):
to make this turnaround quick, then you should absolutely do it.
Shouldn't do it for anything you know that's not of
a good value, but anyone not named n Qaulijokic should
be on the table. Unfortunately, the way the contracts pan out,
a lot of teams aren't going to want to make
deals for.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
A lot of these guys.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Yeah, that's sort of the thing that the Nuggets are
a tough spot because complete pieces that you probably need
to move or under absurd contracts. The Jamal Murray contracts
look weird. The Aaron Gordon contract I said the same thing.
The body looks like it's it's breaking down. He's thirty
years old. The Christian Brown deal that should have never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And then you know.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
You've got to you've got a head coach as well
that you know, I mean, what are we doing here?
It looks like they're going to bring him back, and I,
for the life of me can't understand why.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
I mean, I think that I think David Adam is
a good coach, like he still led this team to
fifty four wins with some of the most absurd lineups
we've ever seen. But I think that, you know, there's
what I think that this team is lacking is a
leadership in the sense of who's the motivator on that team?
(19:55):
And I think that David Adam is a really good
exits of those coach, but who's the guy that's going
to kind of in your face? And they look like
the players got tired of Michael Malone's way, and he
was that guy that didn't mind doing that, So I
understand why they kind of went the opposite way. But
a lot of times, I'm of the opinion that that
doesn't necessarily have to come from head coach, like that
can come from players in the locker room, right, But
(20:17):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
This Nuggets team necessarily has any of those guys.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
And I think that Aaron Gordon was one of those
guys that they thought would be one of those guys.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
But you know, bless his heart, all the trauma that
he's been.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Through in the tragedy, I just don't think, you know,
he can be that guy. I think Jamal Murray, you know,
he's so fiery, but I don't know if Jamal Murray
is capable of motivating an entire team. He motivates himself
really well. Like, my bigger concern is where's the leadership
within this locker room. You've seen this on any championship teams,
player led teams, right, and I feel like they're a
(20:51):
little devoid of that. And so for me, that's almost
a bigger concern honestly than the head coach.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Well, here is something that's not of when it comes
to locker room leadership and that continuity.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
The Devin blocos and their locker room.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
We just kind of went through the draft kind of
a week ago and they've added some what I feel
is though some key addition to some young players who
I can't wait to see develop.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But I have to ask you when we look at
the running.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Back position, because that was one of those positions outside
the linebacker that fans said they wanted address. Now you
draft Jonah Coleman, albeit in the fourth round, how do
you think he could make an impact on this team
in the twenty twenty sixth season, if at all.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Yeah, I'm very eager to.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
See what he can earn.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
You know, what kind of refs you can earn, And
I think the biggest thing for him really does come
down to third down, and you know, and seems like
of all the running backs, kind of a lot of
people were kind of posting about this, how well he
did you know in past row and that's something that
was severely lacking, and I know the fans just couldn't
stand see, you know, Tyler out there on third downs.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
So this is a guy I think has the potential
to really.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Earn an opportunity to get some pivotal important roles there,
depending on how quickly he can pick up on the
speed and everything of the NFL game. Of course, and
you talk about leadership, I think that was a big
thing with JK Dobbins, right, But having another guy that
you can kind of haver Jk's cares to try and
keep him healthy. And you got a guy that.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
As a rookie, if you can you know, come along
quickly and see the game quickly and.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Is really impactful and pass pro, then then I feel like,
all right, you got a guy as a rookie that
would be kind of incredible if he could jump into
that role. So I'm eager to see how he develops,
how quickly he can get out there and let the
pro game come to him.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
I think it's gonna be a fun learning curve and
fun to see how how quickly he develops.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Tyby Robbie Bean from CBS Colorado.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Robbie the the Broncos are running it back, and you
know there's a reason for that. You got to the
SCU Championship game, probably could have gotten further if you
had a healthy bon Nicks.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You added, you know, a piece in Jalen Waddle.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
There are, for all intents and purposes, running it back
on the optimism of what they did the previous season.
The Nuggets appear to be looking like they're going to
be running it back, but it's a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
They already ran it back and it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
What is the difference between those?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Is he just you know, a case of if you're
the Broncos, I mean, this is what you do.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But if you're the Nuggets, you're in a different spot.
And yet both appear to be running it back.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Yeah, I mean, and you hit the nail on the
head right with the Broncos. Who knows what last year
ends up if bo doesn't get hurt. So this is
a window very much so wide open, and this team
is young, intact hungry. You know, they got they added
in really key playmaker there and Wattle as well as
what appears to be another really good draft. And so
(23:46):
now you're running it back with your quarterback. Okay, now
we're actually going to see what's going to happen if
you get a full season with Bo, there's no reason to,
you know, upset the apple cart.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
You look at the.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Nuggets, and it's crazy because this just shows you how
fast life moves in the NBA and in sports period.
Right three years ago, the Nuggets were the young guys.
They were running guys off the court. They looked old
in that Minnesota series. And now you got the thunder
which are super young. You got the Spurs which are
super young. You got Houston, which, besides Kevin Durant pretty young.
(24:18):
Like so, all of a sudden, the West is just
so quickly matched what the Nuggets had in twenty twenty three.
And the Nuggets have kind of stood pat for the
past few years, and they've had injuries and you know,
kind of this and that. So but it just shows
you how fast this league moves, and that now the
(24:38):
Nuggets are at the point where you're teetering on you
look out a little bit slow. You look kind of
like a little bit of kind of the old guys.
They have to get younger, they have to get more athletic.
You got to question with Payton Watson, which it doesn't
seem like Payton Watson going to be here next year.
I mean, Nuggets have the right to match, but it
seems like.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
You might want to be somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I don't know. I mean, it'd be great if they
keep Payton watching. They need to, but we know he
wants starting minutes right and now you've got a lot
of money tied up in guys that can you give
him those starting minute opportunities. So I mean the difference
is that the Nuggets are very clearly on the tail
window of the window as is. If you want to
have Nicolie Okich's window two point zero, you have to
(25:19):
get younger, You have to revamped. You can't stand pat
as is, or you're just going to keep circling the drain.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, you're right, you will at some point continue to
circle to drain.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And that's all based on how you build your roster,
how you construct the roster, and I know that there's
no perfect way to do it, whether you're talking about
the Nuggets or the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, when we look at what's happened with.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
The Broncos roster, let's talk about free agents in comparison
to guys that were drafted and they would develop. I
would dare to say that George Payton has done a
great job as far as that is concerned, when when
you look at some of the moves he's made to
bring in rookies edition. And I know I don't like
to live in a world of grades, but how would
(26:05):
you kind of frame that if you were to say
something about what he was able to do from a
roster standpoint with young guys.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah, I think George Bayton has done a fantastic job.
I think he gets a lot of undue criticism.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
You know, Look, the Russell Wilson thing was a huge gas.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
But like, okay, but when we look at at the
core of what a good GM does, you know, draft
and developed. George Payton since he's gone here, gotten here
has drafted really so many faces of this franchise. And
he when Sean Payton came in and Sean wanted a
completely different style of team and style of player, George
adapted and he has gotten the right players for Sean's system.
(26:48):
And you know, every single player that he's drafted, on
every single a lot of the players that he's drafted,
they found a lot of gems and guys that are
faces of the franchise. And I think Pastor Tenon for right. Yes,
So so you started there and people were mad that
he took a corner and taking a generational.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Future Hall of Fame talent, Nick.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
Benito, Marvin Man. I mean you go down the list
of all of these guys that he's drafted. He's a
scout at heart, right, And I think that in the
regard to drafting and develop a team so that you
don't have to go and you know, blow all your
money in free agency, George Payton has done such an
excellent job of it and I think he will just.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Continue to try.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
With romy Bean from CBS Colorado, you know, yeah, on
that note, I mean, you have a Minnesota team that's
about to start their general manager search. They've hinted around
that we expecting to see a contract extension for George
Payton here soon.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Sean Payton has talked about it and said they need
to get it done. But are we expecting to see
that soon.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
I would think, so, you know, at some point it's
what are you waiting for?
Speaker 6 (27:52):
It?
Speaker 8 (27:52):
Think he's really proven himself in I think he's you know,
proved himself in a lot of ways. Look at his
relationship with Sean Payton that first year, where it almost
like Sean was kind of testing them out. And what
has George done. He didn't nothing but prove himself and
really excel at the job. And I think if Sean
is advocating for him as well, then you certainly wouldn't
want to break up a really good partnership. So I
(28:13):
can't imagine that ownership would stray in any way. It
seems like a no brainer.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Well, mean, I have to ask you this because Ben
and I talked about it last week when it comes
to the injury with bow Nicks and what was said
to what has happened now, As far as you know,
the idea of a cleanup and the cleanup is not
that serious. When you first heard that, did you think
that there was some information that was being left out
(28:42):
or you just viewed it as Hey, this is just
a simple clean up with both nicks and he's going
to be available during training camp.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
You know, I think that it's a lot of questions
worked up because of the way this.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
Whole let's call it a saga, has gone.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
How when both first broke zag and you know, Sean
said it was the predisposed thing, and then he had
to backtrack on that, and then bo got upset and
called his own zoom. The whole thing has been very dramatic, right,
So then some more news comes out, and all of
a sudden, the question becomes, well, you know, are we
hearing the full story? And you know the way it
(29:19):
came out that you know, in the at the end
of the draft, how you know, Sean said, everything's good,
nothing to worry about, And I think, but I think
there was kind of questions in people's minds just because
of how the information seems to have been a little
bit different on everyone's side from the beginning of this.
And so I think that's why there's a little okay,
(29:42):
so what what what is the real situation? And it
still feels like we don't really have that information based
on kind of how it came out, and then some
of the reports that have come out.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
So as far as I know, it was a clean up, right.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
I don't have the information beyond on that, but it'd
be nice to I think, have a little bit of
clarity on what that means and it is that normal
and maybe just a screw cup loose, but I don't know.
So it'll be good to eventually hear from bo as
well when when whenever we get to hear from him,
which I guess won't be for a little bit here,
but I think just it's been a it's been kind
(30:19):
of a dramatic little bit soap overy the whole deal.
So you're kind of waiting for the other shooter drop
on this one as well, but hopefully all as well.
And it was just a little clean up. And then
he posted the video of him running, which I don't
know when that was.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, that's the other thing is like.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Everybody's doing the cringiest thing possible with this stuff, like
trying to make it look like like trying really hard
to make it look like it's no big deal and
inadvertently making it look like a bigger deal.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Every time they do well, you know.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
They say like honesty is the best policy, that it
feels like dancing around it. It's just straight up said,
this is the situation, good, bad, or somewhere in the middle,
then there'd be less speculation.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Okay, okay, so tell me this is it. Do we
live in a world where the team has to be
that up front with the player's injury to tell the
media constantly, Hey, here's what's going on day to day
with bo?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Is that where we are now?
Speaker 8 (31:15):
No? No, I mean the team can do whatever whatever
they want. They can choose to do whatever they want.
But then you can't get upset if people speculate if
you choose to not be upfront about it. So it's
two sides of the same point. You know, it's not
they can say or not say whatever they want. It's
probably one of the funniest things about hockey, right, So
say O, it's an upper body injury and it's probably
the guy's left toe. They can do whatever they want,
(31:37):
you know, but that means people.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Are also allowed to think whatever they want.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
It's kind of gray. Information is given.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Robbie Bean from series cover. One last question here is
came in via the text line.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
So I'll let you answer this said ask why the
Kronkeys are cheap on the pockets for the Nuggets, but
the pockets are wide open on acquiring people around Kale
and make Kennon.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
The pockets are wide open on Kaylin McKinnon.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I guess, I guess hockey salaries, Yeah, that's is this
a funny Huh?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Well, I don't just.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
Gonna make like seventy five million next year, and I
think Nathan McKinnon makes like twelve, right.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
And certainly, I mean they paid Christian Brown, you know,
an obscene amount of money. Jamal Murray makes a bunch
of money. You know, basketball salaries are different, so I
don't I guess I don't get the whole premise of
the question here, but uh, it seems like he's saying
they're willing to spend on the ABS and not the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
But they certainly spend plenty on the Nuggets.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
I would argue that they've spend more on the Nuggets
if you look at hockey salary, I mean the NHL
salary cap. It's just a joke. But they're pretty like
tied up in regards to what they can do and
to who they can pay. And they weren't even willing
to pay for me Grant and which has worked out
tremendously for them with Martin Isshus. But I would never
look at hockey and say, oh, yeah, those guys are
(32:54):
spending a lot of money.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Plus Nathan McKinnon and Cal mccarr the two of the
best hockey.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Play in the world, and they still I think, what
does kel mccarr make eight or nine million a years?
Theechnology makes eight million years and a half. Yeah, so
that's really Apple's oranges.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
That's hard to hard to compare.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I think, Well, Romie, we appreciate the time.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
As always, We'll let you go, uh but uh, I
appreciate you jumping on here and look forward to talking
to again soon.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Hey, great with the bath go.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Af all right, romy Bean Rome underscore being on Twitter.
You can find her on CBS Colorado Anchors and the
sports there.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
A little bit of a break. We'll be back after
this
