Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five six six nine zero.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
The text line Pittsburgh Pirates knocking off the Rockies three
to one behind and pretty inspired performance by Paul Skeens
had a no hitter going on into the blue seventh,
wound up giving up two hits in eight innings, no runs,
no earned, struck out ten, and his season e RA
is down to one point nine eight.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
If it hadn't been for that disasters.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Opening day outing, his ERA would be zero point five
six for the season.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
That dude is is a monster.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
He's something else.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
And Mickey Moniac, you know, broke up at the no hitter.
How pissed would you be from a pitching standpoint that
you're pitching a no hitter and a guy in an
outfield just timing, anticipation is just off and he just
misses the ball, right, misses the ball.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, you're having words with your with your field or
if he misses it, okay, what would what would you
say to him?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Because I'm thinking the guy who's off the ball, aymen,
that's my bad.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
If he comes up that he says at first, then
we're good. If not, then I'm kind of giving him
the stare from the mound, just looking at him with the.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Like, see, I'm thinking he hands up, like what happened?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Even if he were to say that, yeah, you're like, man,
I hear you.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
But you know, man, I was pitching a no hitter,
a no hitter, and you just happened to mess it up.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
For now, see snarky me, He's gonna be like, well,
you're a good pitcher.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
There'll be more of those for you know, more about it.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
See and see now we've changed the words in the clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm like, man, do your job. I was already doing
my job.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, nobody from the Rockies walk today. Only four hits.
Johnston had a hit, Goodman back and then of course
Moniac as you mentioned there, Goodman of course had to
hit the score back on the.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Run the lone run in the ninetheenning.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
For the Rockies. The Pirates no home runs, but they
did have nine hits.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I believe a couple of three runs all total.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
And you know, with Skiings, three runs is all you
need with him, with him throwing, the Pirates move to
twenty three.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
And nineteen on the season.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Rockies, of course sixteen and twenty six as it sits,
and you know, not great for the Rockies, but certainly
a lot more competitive than they were last year.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Well, I mean, you got to give Mike Lorenzen some credit.
I mean, he was doing a heck of a job.
It just happens that he didn't get the best to
kind of wake up to help him out.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
No, no JOBU. There was no JOBU in the clubhouse.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, Lorenza went to five innings, five hits, two runs,
both of them earned. He had five strikeouts walked to
there as well. Howverson came on for an inning and
got a strikeout and no runs. Vodnik came on for
two Thursday of inning, allowed to run, and then you
had Hill and herget finish it out. Allowing one hit
between the two of them and getting a strikeout. Wasn't
a bad pitching day from the Rockies at all. But

(02:50):
you're up against Skiings, you gotta be darn near perfect.
I mean, three runs is probably gonna be an off.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, you hope that it would be enough. But here's
a crazy thing. When you look about the Rockies over
the last i don't know but to maybe six games,
they're not doing that well. And then you look at
the games they played and how they were outscored.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
We're talking about.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Forty three to eighteen over that six game space. There's
no way you're not going to be that successful. You're
not going to be that successful. And that's kind of
the thing with the Rockies, and that sometimes get frustrating.
You watch them play certain series and they do well,
Like a couple series come to mind, Astros they beat

(03:31):
them three to zero, then the mass they had a
three to zero serious lead. And so the Rockies this
season they've only won two series so far, and it's
just like, well, when at what point I think everyone's
asking this question where you're going to get like several
complete wins. What I mean by that is guys at

(03:52):
back matching what's happening at the plan. I think this
has been the most frustrating for this organization over the past.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Couple of years.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's certainly been then the problem.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I mean, the pitching has finally gotten to a pot
where it's respectable, and it's been the hitting that that
just hasn't gotten there. The the Rockies are a decent
batting average scene. They're sixth in the uh you know,
in Major League Baseball, but their bottom half of the
league runs bottom half of the league at home runs,
bottom half a league on base percent because it'll walk
very much. Uh, I'm hearing you saying this, bottom boy, Well,
you're sixth in batting average, but but you can't you're

(04:23):
not getting any walks and you're not getting not turning
that into runs and that's sort of been the problem.
So you know, on the flip side of that, I mean,
you know, you've had you've had some decent pitching this
year at times, but it has been it has been
an issue with with.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It not sinking up the hitting and the pitch.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Would you give the Rockies somewhat of I don't know,
a reprieve or would you just say, you know what,
hey man, we understand because you're pitching against you're batting
against Paul Skins.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Would would you give them somewhat of Paul Skiings?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Like what are you gonna you know, what are you
gonna do?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Like I said, if it.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Had that disastrous opening day outing for him, his era
would be point five to six on the season.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's that's as dominant as a gets.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, here's a great thing for the Rockies that in
this the next two games in the series, they don't
have to bat against Skins, right, they don't have to.
So we're hoping that maybe these next two games, that
means that the Rockets should be able to muster at
least two three runs, you would hope, my good pitching.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Way, Yeah, one run is not gonna get it done.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
But if you can get three or four, you know,
and get some decent pitching going, and then you got
a chance. As far as that kind of stuff goes,
it's just, you know, it's just been tough to watch
and the pitching, there are parts of it that have fallen.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Off, uh, you know as the season has gone along.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But the pitching started off carrying the team, and you know,
now you just need to turn it into runs. If
you're at the end of the day, you got to
turn this hitting into runs. You gotta walk more, you
gotta get more runs.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Once upon a time this team was at or above
five hundred. Yeah, they're not close.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Now they're below five hundred, yes, significantly, And I think
I'm going to tax a go grants or grant to
see what you said.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
That was eighty two games, right, Yeah, they're at thirty
eight percent. They're well below five hundred at this point
eight and fifteen on the road, eight and eleven at home.
It's not like there's a big split or big difference
there minus thirty seven runs. However, that negative thirty seven
runs is actually better than the giants in the division.
All the giants are seventeen to twenty four right now.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
If you're a skipper inside they're locker room, what words
of encouragement would you give to your team at this point?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I know it's lugging away. I guess a long games
to play, say more games play? Yeah, it's a long season.
Keep lugging away.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
We're not where we want to be yet, but you
guys are putting tape, you know, out there, you guys
are getting out there fielding this thing. And as we
continue to build it out, some of you are going
to be a part of this and the ones that
you either want to be a part of that, you
can just kind of show out here on the on
the diamond when you're out there making things happen.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now, I think I played baseball, but you know, never
at this particular level.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
And I'm wondering, you know, when the guys.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Ad play, I mean, trying to make the opposing pitcher
really work, just kind of get that pitch count up
really high, because usually that's what happens to the Rockies pitchers.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
The other teams make them work.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, right, and I'm wondering, what do you say, how
do you get players to actually kind of work that
pitching as much as you.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Would hope that they would.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
They tell them to lay off the first two pitches,
you know, like, hey, we're gonna have some days we're
just laying off.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
We want these things to get deeper in the count.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're laying off the first two pitches and try to
get this thing deeper in the count so we can
work these pitchers, make them tire them out fast, to
work them a little bit harder, those kinds of things.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
And I you know, I.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Feel like that that's uh, that's sort of the the
that's been the methodology. I mean, back when Pauli Pedestros
with the age, they famously like just took the first pitch,
you know, and then teams called onto that eventually and
they just started throw it right down the middle.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
But you know, it doesn't that require certain level of patience.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
I would like to think if I'm if I'm had
to play, I don't know everyone had that much much patient.
Bit I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I mean, everybody wants to hit the home run.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Everybody wants to no, no, no, I don't want to
hit the home run. You I know it. Hit the
ball and play. Okay, that's the problem. Everyone's trying to
hit home run.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well yeah, and everybody's just kind of champion at the bit.
I just I don't know. For me, I think patience
as a hitter is is is the key.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
You go back and look at some of the best
hitters of all time, and that's what they were.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
They were just.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Patient, wait for the pitcher to mess up and give them,
give them a meatball, you know. I mean even the
best hitters are only hitting thirty five percent of the time.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Thirty percent of the time, right the best.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
So you know, and that it behooves you to be
patient and take your take your you know, your pitch
and look for the look for the pitch that you want.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
You know, wait on it.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Don't don't just go out there chasing stuff just because
you're desperate to get a hit or put it in
play or whatever else.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Sometimes when I watch baseball, I see guys like literally
swing for the fences. They're swinging so hard that when
they come through that fallow through, it takes them right
to their knees, and I'm like, can't we just put
it in.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Play, just try to try to get it right there
and then left.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Get Yeah, I mean, well, you know, eachy row is
great at that, just just slapping the ball into the
you know, into the soft spots there, and there are
some guys that are that are.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Good at that. I just think that this Rockies team's
got a ways to go with that.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Kind of stuff and then turning that into runs like
they're already. I mean, like I said, there's a number
six batting average team in the league, right, yep. They're
making contact, putting the ball in play. You got to
turn that into run. So you got to string those
hits together consecutively.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Well, I mean in games in the past the season,
the Rockies have stranded runners on base. That's kind of
been one of those issues. They're able to get guys
on base, not today they no, No, Well, obviously Paul's
kings on above that makes it really difficult, but that's
kind of been the issue bringing some of those runs
in where they actually count.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, and that's going to be you know, something that
we have to have to continue to get better at
a couple of quick updates here. This the Spurs Timberwolves
game has been been a game of runs. But the
Spurs got out there to a pretty decent halftime lead,
and then the Wolves came roaring right back, got it
to within you know, a bucket, and now it's back
out to a ten point lead by the Spurs.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's it's been an interesting game on that one.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Currently, sixty nine seventy nine scoot me sixty nine eighty one.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Spurs are winning that one with about two point fifty
left in the third quarter. So we'll keep you up
to day on that.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
We are more Broncos country tonight when we come back.
Five sixty sixty nine zero is the text line. And
the Spurs have busted this thing back wide open. It
was a two point game. Now it's almost out the
twenty points at the end of the third seventy three
to ninety one Spurs as they.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Continue to dominate after a brief period where they let up.
Whimby's having a crazy game.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, that was It's kind of funny because it was
like I was for a minute, I was like, oh,
the Wolves caught up. Look at this, it's like fifty
nine to sixty one, and then it was seventy three
to ninety eight or seventy three ninety one.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Just just a few moments later.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
He's dominating everyone on the bors, And like, how do
you if you're a coach, what do you say when
you're playing against a dude that's seven four? I know
he's frail, but he's blocking every shot, he's pulling down boards.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
What do you say? Good luck? Okay, here's what Ibn said.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
He's really tall, but his mid section is really long,
so when you try to get underneath him, we might
be willing to take a couple of files here and
there with some elbows inside his mid section. So like boxing, Yeah,
I want to make that more to make him bring
his hands down.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I mean he's so tall, he's you know, he's
so tall that you remember when people used to like
push the ball between people's legs or whatever. I could
just dribble between his legs. I could just dribble. No, no,
you would.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Know to do that.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, he would absolutely steal the ball from you before.
But but if I were people that had any talents,
and then I would if.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
You could, if you had like a sensible crossover. Maybe
that would make sense.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
But yeah, this is uh, this game has gotten out
of hand very very quickly for the Minnesota Timber.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
What is you take in this game? I think it
took the Wolves to cover and that's it.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Over the other night, I took the under, Okay, I
think the because the over under was what to twenty
or something like that.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Two eighteen Yeah, yeah, two eighteen and two twelve.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Something anyway, yeah it was. It was one of those.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now I took the under and then the Uh. But
I think this spread was like ten and a half
or something. I think it's like the Wolves and made
a mistake there unless they get in gear here in
the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
And hey, listen, man, anything can happen, right, we've seen it,
we've witness we have they got.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
It and within two before it's not they can't do
it again. They just probably won't we Uh. You and
I were talking earlier. Are streaming services killing in the league? Yeah? Man,
they are.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
I mean, okay, how do you how do you consume
professional football?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
What are you in the.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Stadium because I have to work?

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Well me, okay, well, you're not in the stadium for Broncos. Game, Right,
how you consuming the game anymore?

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I probably watch it at a restaurant or you know,
a bar type thing, that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
So you say you don't have a TV at home, Oh,
I definitely have a TV at home. Okay, if you
were sitting at home, the Broncos are on the road, right,
it's a Sunday night, Sunday night football.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Game or whatever. Right, so you're watching at the burndown.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
If you were not watching at the burndown, where else
would you watch it? I mean, bettye let me let
me rephraeze that. How would you watch it? Because most
people you have Fox, you have ESPN, Yeah, you have NBC,
you know Sunday night football, and then you have the
other streaming services.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well, see I don't have I just have streaming service Sunday.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
You have like cable or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I mean I do right now because that was free
when I when I got the internet or whatever. But
I like most of the time I don't even have
basic cable. I just have the streaming services. So if
I were to watch it home, then yeah, that's probably
how I would do it. As stream it somehow, dude.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
That's like I mean, if you want to consume.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
In for football, and you have all the streaming service
to make sure you watch every single game that's.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Gonna cost one thousand dollars go up. That was like
sixteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, bedtime you do Direct TV and Peacock and Netflix
and at Prime and everything else.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
That's that's the one thing they get us because they
throw maybe one or two games on these streaming services,
and sometimes they're do it like you know, I think
once I'm Buffalo and Kansas City was on the Netflix
er Peacock and it's one of those games that you
wanted to see.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Because that was a matchup between Josh Allen and Mahomes
and it had seating implications.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
So it was just like, ooh, do I do I
go cheap on it and not watching it, or do
I do like everyone else and just subscribe to it.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
And watch the game?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that's and that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I don't know, I don't like watching I watch football
by myself, but I don't, you know, at the quality
in my home, But I don't necessarily Sometimes I want
the noise, you know, I want to be at a
bar and feel at the ambiance of like the fans
of the background.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Noise, I kind of do.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
I mean, if you need that noise to give you
that authentic, you know, game feeling or whatever. I mean,
don't think I have one of those noise boxes that
you can play something in the background.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I guess, but that's not the same thing.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I don't know, I guess.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
I just like the atmosphere. I like being around people
that are cheering for you know, I just enjoy that atmosphere.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
See it's difficult for me, Ben, because all right, so
when you trying to watch a game, there are people
asking you like a million questions and you can't really
watch the game, right like that that does happen, and
that does that's a bit of a problem.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
But if people don't know or they you know, if
people don't know me, or if they know or if
they do know me, they know to leave me alone,
then those shows can be you know, and you don't
want to be ruled the.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
People like, hey man, I'm trying to watch the game,
man whatever. But for me, a lot of these streaming
services have made it really tough for fans who really consume.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
The game and enjoying.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
And the one thing that the NFL can bank on
that fans are so die hard, right, They're going to
consume it no matter what, because we've seen the NFL
go through controversy after controversy on and off the field.
But fans watch anyway. I mean, like during twenty twenty
we had COVID. Of course everyone was watching because they

(16:31):
were bored out of.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Their freaking book. They couldn't go to the stadium. The
only way you could do was watching.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I mean because I think you and I were like
two of the only people in the stadiums.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yes, So look, I think the NFL, which they're never going.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
To do, they should bring some of these costs down, right.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
They should bring something because these streaming services are killing
people man, not literally but figuratively speaking, killing.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Them in a kill And right now we got inflation,
it's outpacing way journings for the first time like three years,
the economies, you know, tanking, and the NFL is looking
to looking to get you to spend more.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yes, it's always more likes. Nevertheless, how many streaming services
do you have?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Man? Five?

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Right, and it's hard to keep track with all the
different things that are out there now.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
I think I'm around four or five.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I was gonna ask you, guys, how many streaming services
do you think you need now to watch every game
in an NFL season.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
I have the answer. It's it's higher than seven or eight.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Because you are okay, so you have Amazon, Peacock, Netflix.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Uh, now you have what, uh it's not but YouTube
TV YouTube TV. Yeah. Yeah, that's one.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
So that's four right there, ESPN and ESPN plus right,
that's five.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, what am I missing? You're missing?

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Uh some of the cable channels. So NFL networks as
an exclusive game as of now. Uh, maybe that change
this song last year, so maybe that changes, which would
drop one.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, and I found out we're still has to make
flu some gams. Okay, so then that.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Would get you up to six. And then they're also
counting the different cable channels. So Fox that gets you
to seven, CBS gets you to eight, and then he
has to end plus, which we know Paramount plus.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
That's what you did in Paramount plus. See man.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Obviously dating myself when I was growing up, it was
they didn't have like CBS, NBC, Fox that was in
streaming services.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
That's just you get up and you turn the knob
and you turn the TV.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, you had three channels.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
And you see you click back and forth, you know,
or if you had a clicker that you could program.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
It in there you go.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Okay, I gotta tell you guys something funny about what
I just said. So yesterday I told my oldest son,
I said, uh, hey, man, when I was a kid,
we had to actually get up and turn the TV
with with our hands.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
And he looked at me like I had two heads.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
And my wife said, yeah, usually the adults who had
the kids act as a remote and they'll tell you
to go.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Change the channel. And he was just like, wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
So, so you guys didn't have remote controls, you actually
had to get up to turn the TVs.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I was like yeah, and he just looked. He was like, man,
like those were the Oden days. Yeah. He made it
seem like it was like he was black and white.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
He hadn't even havevented color yet.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
It was it real light.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
It was in black and white.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Did you did you guys have the hangar with the
Alumini four like we we didn't don't even look over here,
young c Yeah, no idea with that.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
I saw it a lot we didn't have because I
didn't know it.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
We didn't know the tv U till I was like thirteen,
so we didn't you know, by that point you had
the remote and you didn't have all that all that stuff.
But I certainly saw at Grandma's or at you know,
everybody had the aluminum foil and the bunny of your
antennas and all that.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I had the rabbit ears one time. Yeah, you had
it one time. Yeah, it was growing up.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
My dad went through like a cord cutting face for
I don't know, like three four years. And then I
think the Rockies were going on some some playoff run.
It wasn't ro October, but they were going on some
run or something. So we got the rabbit ears and
I remember, did you ever have this?

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Right?

Speaker 3 (19:59):
This is this is so old school, so throwback when
you lose the.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Knob on the TV and you had to use the
plying flyers. Yeah, I saw saw quite a bit. Yeah,
the clamp on plyers.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
That was yeah, that was well, that was living Oh
my goodness, yeah, that was.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's just it's it's it's you've got the media rights
deal opt out coming out in twenty twenty nine.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
The lead's gonna opt out of the deal and do new.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Broadcasting rights deals and man, I like, it's gonna go up,
and it's just gonna keep going up.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
But see, okay, it's almost like player salaries, like quarterback salaries.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
At what point something's gonna pay for those and the
broadcast rights would pay for those.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Those owners already have a crap ton of money because
when these network sign these deals, they signed long deals,
like the NFL already has a deal that doesn't expire
for another two to three years, but they're trying to
opt out, so they build in the opt out so
they can.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Earn more money.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yeah, and these streaming services are so desperate because they know,
no matter what, no matter what, we're going to watch football.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
You know why, because we're suckers. We are chucks. Well,
and we enjoyed, we enjoy watching it. But so does
it tell?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I mean, that's one of those things.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
There was there was a great bit I think it
was a ted Lasso, you know, where they tried to
start the Gatkufu League or whatever it is, and it's
it's this new league that the champion exclusive chant and
they're gonna charge through the roof and all this kind
of stuff. And then they finally realize, you know, the
lady finally speaks up and realizes that, you know, we
already make a ton of money.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
We're already billionaires. We make a ton of money. Like,
you know, what are we gonna do?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Get take this game away from the people that make
it great because they won't be able to afford to
watch it.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
But that is what's happening and unfolding right before our
very eyes. Bigger isn't always matter.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Listen, man, the price of tickets, concession parking, they've gone up.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
Now.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Someone just said, well, that's a byproduct of inflation, and
inflation happens all the time. I mean, you can account
for home inflation. But those numbers are highly inflated. I mean, well,
I mean no numbers are inflated, because that's that's what
it is. I mean, there's a market that the free
market is saying people will pay this, and they will well,
like I said, because we are suckers and chumps.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, eventually you'll get to the breaking point where well
what is the breaking point? I don't know, but eventually
you will get to the breaking Let me let me.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Let me ask young young seiers.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Since you know he has streaming services, he doesn't know
what's the first one to go and why he has Yes,
what's what's what service would be the first.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
One to go? Oh man, that's a good question. Maybe
Disney probably, Like there's something I just don't Disney. Huh.
You know I watch the football on Disney. Yeah, exactly so.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
But you don't you have like the bundle because Disney,
Hulu and ESPN usually come in to the bundle.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
That's the thing I got, the YouTube TV thing. I
used to have Hulu and I've got sick of them.
But anyways, I'm for I would maybe do that one.
But to your point, they've got the bundle Paramount plus
is pretty terrible.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
But I see that's one I would keep. Uh, but
that's because I watch all the Star Trek stuff that's
on there. I love the Star Treks stuff, but man,
what's the Star Trek like all the even the new stuff?

Speaker 4 (23:10):
All? Ok?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Which see because I watched Star Wars in Marvel, I
can't get rid of the Disney.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Can't that they're both on the Netflix would be pretty quick. Yeah,
that's the first one I got rid of.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
It used to be great and now it's like the
original shows just aren't very good anymore.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Nothing. Yeah, there, it's just been a fall off. It's
just like true crime docs. Now it's just not up
my alley.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it's it's all designed to be background noise that
you subscribe to for you know, whatever per month.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
It used to be.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I mean, Netflix was digital Blockbuster and now it's just
you know, it's just like MTV. M TV used to
be music and now it's reality shows. It's it's basically
essentially what with Netflix were the same model.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's it's hard to get rid of Amazon Prime. Yeah,
I'll always Proba keep that because they've got good originals.
Apple TV, Yeah, Apple TV.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Then also, you know, you get that bundle, you get
the you know, the whole whole foods Amazon Prime, and
you put in your Prime number, you get the discounts,
and you get football on Thursday Night football, even though
some of the games are dog of games, but still
you still get football. So I don't know, no, And
maybe that's a great question to ask some of some

(24:20):
of the listeners, like if you had to get rid
of a streaming service, which would be the first one
to go?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, Netflix was when I when I did all that,
Netflix was the first one I punted on and then
I got rid of the Hulu Disney ESPN.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Bundle and I'll figure that one out a little bit later.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
I kept Apple TV and Amazon Prime, and I had
Paramount already in my in my Amazon Prime, so I
just kept that.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
What do you think about the individuals who say, okay,
well there's a game that it's kind of a one off,
it's only one game, maybe on Christmas, And they go, well,
you know what, during the holiday times, they lessened the
amount that you pay for the subscription, so they're like, well.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
You get it for two dollars a free trial or whatever.
Ye for the trial that I bounced, And I.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Know most people go like, you know what, they say
the same thing. I'm gonna get it, watch the game,
and then I'm going to stop.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Oh I get it canceled right away, so I don't
ever forget it, and then I'll watched it.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
But see, you're better than most people because they never remember. Yeah,
that's the point.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
That's what.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
That's why they try to get you with two dollars
subscription because you se you're not gonna remember until you
see it happened three or four times and you're like, oh,
and by that by that time like twenty dollars, right,
and by that time you spent one hundred.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Bucks and they got you.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Now, I'm one of those people that are like, if
there's a free trial, the first thing I do is
cancel the trial. And then if I want to resubscribe,
I got time to do that. Man, That's the first
thing I do is cancel it.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
And just you know see.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
But once again, that's the whole kind of racket behind
the whole thing to get everyone hooked on extreamly services
and then offer you those one dollar a month discounts
for like eight months or twelve months, and you always
say that you're going to cancel.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
You don't cancel. Now they have you hooked in. And
have you ever tried to cancel one of these?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Some of them can be pretty difficult.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Were you on me? What worst when? What was the sheriff? Yeah,
we talked about that.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, the guy tried to cancel the was in jail,
so you could get more out of the commissary.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Why does it take so long to cancel the service? Well,
the people make it. It's just like gym memberships.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
You make it difficult because subscription service they want to
get your money, so they got to make it tough.
They're hoping you give up the same thing with insurance
companies denying your claim the first time, they're just.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Hoping you'll give up. It was a what was the
company that had the policy.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
That just denying every claim that came in and then
whoever refiles, then we'll do it.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
They ca your first think that everything was getting you know.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Was getting denied round.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
That takes me back to Hurricane Katrina back in New
Orleans when the flood came through and we just kind
of messed up people's homes, and when individuals tried to
kind of get their insurance claim and they were like, yeah, dog,
you didn't have wind insurance.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's like what, yeah, specific type of whatever you wind
insurance insurance against the wind.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
That's you know, come on man.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
It's like, well, the levees were not really you know,
tore down because of the massive amount of water, right,
it was the wind that was blowing the water that
actually knocked down the walls that sub merger homes.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Just everybody trying to get your money, man, They're all
trying to get your money.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Rise it at the ODB song.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Got you man, Come on man.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Oh, we got to hit a break. We got an
FL six pack.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
We come back.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Text line seven too, Oh bien, grip grip, TV channel
changer and middle close hanger antenna, the good old free
TV days, Yes, free TVs. Yeah, the three or three.
There are no good looking women at my house. We
have to go out for them and watch a game.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Hopefully they're single and not just burying their other you
know what, someone else's girl, you know. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Bryan says KS should be the first streaming service to go.
Did they have a streaming service? Which one KS?

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Because Kronky you have a streaming Oh yeah, Altitude plus
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Rud Okay, okay, I didn't even know it, juststed exactly. Yeah,
let's give it a six pack.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It's time for the NFL six pad.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm going to trade that last year insight and insight
information you can't find anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
No, the top six NFL headline. What it's like twenty
or thirty dollars a month or something crazy like real. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
I looked into it because I wanted to watch the
Nuggets and Abs during the whole you know, standoff, So
I looked into how much it was, and I was like, oh,
that'd be my most expensive streaming service by far.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I can't justify it's good for five months out of
the year when they're playing. They have other content too well,
so it's good for five months out of the year
player for Yeah, it's like the olso huh jo Jo sinko.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Here.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
In NFL dot COM's ranking of the top ten most
complete NFL rosters, the Denver Broncos ranked seventh, behind the
Rams and first, followed by the Seahawks, Eagles, Ravens, Bills,
and Lions. The Broncos rank ahead of the forty nine
ers in eighth or at eighth, and the Texans and
the Patriots surrounding out that top ten.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
What do you make of those rankings and where would
you place Denver if it was up to you? Fine,
gets pretty fair.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
I mean you could make the argument that those three
teams listed that they're ahead of those could be ahead
of them too. I mean, you know, all this stuff
is subjected. I think you're ranking them in the top
third of the league. I think you could make a
case as high as three or four. I think you
can make a case for ten or eleven. Just depends
on how you've used certain players, you know, like, what's
your opinion of right the moss, what's your opinion of
the inside backer situation, what's you know, what's your opinion

(30:01):
of the tight end room.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
So I think I think it's fair. But where'd you
say seventh? I guess bored and fair.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I think it is at this particular point because we
look at what this roster was last year, and we
know that there's some areas of this team that definitely
needs to improve, and we knew that the Broncos defense
has been the strength of the team for the past
two seasons.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
This is I would say it can change based on
some improvements on.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
The offensive side of the ball, and I think the
Broncos will be able to do that, especially with the
three headed months is.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
On offense, meaning the running backs. Of course, I fully
agree with you guys. I think it's fair.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
The only team I feel passionate about the Broncos being
ahead of that they're ranked behind here are the Lions.
I feel like the attrition the Lions have gone through.
We saw it last year. That roster isn't the loaded
squad it was, you know, two or three years ago.
Even that that offensive line isn't the same defense. I
don't think is as talented as it was. I think,

(31:03):
you know, the offensive line is kind of what the
Lions have based their whole identity off of. And the
Broncos have the better offensive line between the two teams
right now, So I'd put Denver over them.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
But otherwise I'd agree with you guys. It seems pretty fair.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, like I said, all
these things are subjective, but that seems fair.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Two Today, it was announced by the NFL that the
Falcons and Dangles will be playing each other in Madrid, Spain,
on November eighth. What do you think about the NFL
playing a game in Spain? And do you think these
two opponents are What do you think about these two
opponents squaring off in an international game?

Speaker 3 (31:36):
I mean, we got nine international games this year, up
from five last year.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's gonna keep growing, you know, one a week. Yeah,
it's gonna be one every week.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Eventually, we knew this direction they're going to go, and
it's expanding the brand globally.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
You try to expand the sport globally the same way basketball.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Did I get it?

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think there are some players that hate it.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
There's coaches that hate it, but you know, I think
some fans that hate it. But otherwise it's it's a thing.
It's here to stay and that makes money.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
We saw that Netflix was offered a package of morning
morning games by the NFL.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
They wanted nothing to do with it. It was gonna
be all international games. They wanted nothing to do with that.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
They just wanted to have like a couple of standalones
per year and that be it.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
You know, it expands the brand, but I don't know
if they figured out exactly how to monetize it the
right way yet.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Well, I definitely expands the brand. And from an offense standpoint,
you got Djon Robinson.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
I mean, you have Jamar Chase T Higgins, you have
Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Then it's just like, okay, Well, when you think about
what the Falcons are tossing out, there is to a
tongue of the low because you have to ask yourself,
will Michael Pennis be back at that particular time an
if the words of return doesn't really make that much.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Of a difference.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
And the Cincinnati Bengals defense, will they improve? I know
they have changed a lot of personnel and deven inside
of the ball. So if you have the fans in Spain,
you have to figure are you getting a top notch game?
That's the thing, because I think for me, I'm not
a betting man, but I would push my chips more
towards the Bengos.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Than I would do the Falcons.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
Yeah, I agree, I think that it's not the most
exciting game, especially on the Falcons front. I'm optimistic about
what Kevin Stevanski can do there, but oh you.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Optimistic, I am.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
I I think he, you know, made the most out
of a pretty terrible Cleveland situation. I think it got
tired by the end and both sides ultimately needed to
change the scenery. But he's probably the best head coach
in the history of the Expansion Browns, which you know
is kind of a taller than Danny DeVito contest, but still,
I do think he's probably the best head coach that
franchise has had. I just Michael Pennix into a I

(33:39):
don't think either is getting the job done for you
there in Atlanta Cincinnati. Meanwhile, I think he's going to
bounce back this year. Yeah, I think they're going to
be better.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
The defense they still got to find, though they've got
They've got to find a defense.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
In order to get that thing going to three.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Today, we also learned in terms of the schedule release
that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be traveling to
Dallas to play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Don't currently
know the other two thirds of that Thanksgiving slate, but
with this one matchup revealed, how excited for Turkey Day
are you? And which of those two teams do you

(34:16):
think is better right now?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Well?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I think the Eagles are, you know, better, until you
prove otherwise.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
We'll see. Now they got to do oc in there,
and we don't know what he's about.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I think Dallas is getting better.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
They certainly got I think they got the right Kachha,
Bryce Shotheim or I think we'll see what the defense
looks like with Christian Parker coming over from the Eagles.
So there's there's you know, the bad blood as Nick
likes to say, and that in that matchup.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Will see how that goes. I think the Eagles are
the team to beat until you beat him, though the.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Obligai the advantage right now to the Eagles. We don't
know what the team's records and what the RUSS and
the personnel going to look like from a health standpoint
by the time we get there.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
But it's going to be.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Very interesting because Thanksgiving Jerry worrel Uh Yeah, sign me
up for that, because you know last year the camera
kept panning to Jerry in the press box right, and
to me, I love to see that, especially if he's squirming.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
If the Eagles the.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Vision rible haas somewhat of elize. So I love this
matchup on Thanksgiving, But I right now would give the
nod to the.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Eagles for sure. I'm going with the Cowboys.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
Are you seeing the Eagles with the brand new offensive coordinators?
It's typically been a train wreck. I know the last
time they had one of these embarrassing seasons, they ended
up pointing out of the fire and winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
I'm not convinced history is going to repeat itself again.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
Meanwhile, I think the Cowboys have had one of the
best off seasons of anyone in the league. I love
the Christian Parker hiring to help fix that defense. They
made a lot of good defensive additions, and the offense
we saw absolutely cook last year. I think they're even
more talented they've got some more receiving options now. I
think they're gonna, you know, maybe win the whole division

(35:59):
this year. I would take the Cowboys over the Eagles today.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Okay, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I wouldn't be surprised, like it wouldn't surprise me.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
But I think it's like, you know, it's like we
said with the Chiefs and the Broncos, right, you have
to beat the Chiefs in order to become the you know,
and that Broncos did that.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
So or.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Dante Fowler Junior, a former Cowboy, told the media that
he signed in Seattle in part due to DeMarcus Lawrence,
who was his teammate back in Dallas.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Due to DeMarcus.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Lawrence's advice, which was, if you want to win a
Super Bowl, come to Seattle. What will Fowler add to
Seattle's defense? And do you think Seattle will win another
Super Bowl in the near future?

Speaker 3 (36:41):
They could.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I mean they're a good football team. He has a
tough division. You get the Rams, you get the Niners there,
that's a tough division.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
They could.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
They've got a great defense, they've got a great head coach.
It really just is can that offense adapt post Kobiak?
What are they going to look like and how are
they going to be As far as scoring, I'm.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
Gonna say no on the Seattle Sea Dogs getting back
to a Super Bowl in the next let's just say
four to five years. They could do it obviously down
the row, but look at the division that they're in.
I mean, they got the Rams that the forty nine ers.
Those teams are always competitor, competitors. I mean also then
you have the Chicago Bears who showed as though, hey listen,

(37:20):
they have skin in the game too as well. Hey
you can throw the Lions and the Packers in there.
But it's gonna be a tough road for Seattle to
kind of make it back. They've had a couple of
players apart with the biggest ones I'm gonna say is Kennith.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Walker and Clint Kubiak.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Well, we see the real Sam Donald, Like with whether
real Sam Donald please stand up?

Speaker 3 (37:43):
And I think we've got to see.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
More of who he is this year posted what we
saw in the twenty twenty five season, I think the
locker points the great one.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
You know, their offense was up and down all season long.
The defense was dominant, but the offense, even with Kubiak
was fairly up and down, and then they finally hit
this hot streak with Kenneth Walker down the stretch they
got you know, they're playing their best ball at the
right time.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
They kind of stabilized everything with the up and down
passing game.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
I mean, Jasnd's amazing, but outside of that, the passing
game was pretty inconsistent. Now, without Kenneth Walker, you're really
relying on Jadarian Price to add that explosive element alongside
Zach Charbonay. And he might, but it's a huge theory
right now. He was the second fiddle in you know,
or at Notre Dame. So can he carry that run

(38:29):
game while they wait for Zach Charbonay to come back
from a knee injury. I think it's very much TVT.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah, they'll they'll have their issues and they'll have their adjustments,
but it'll be interesting to see five.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Grease Hall said on Tuesday that he's ready to flourish with.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
The New York Jets following the recent contract extension he
signed with the club.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Will he flourish in New York in your guys's opinion,
and do you think we'll.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
See Hall traded in the next eighteen months in spite
of this contract extension.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Well, I mean, history is not on his side. You know,
running backs tend to get those big money deals and
then they tend to get traded after two years if
they're if they're unproductive. So history not on his side.
I mean, what do you that that team is still
kind of a train wreck. They're still trying to build
that thing out in New York, and I don't know
that Aaron Glenn's gonna be around for the whole thing
at the at the rate they're going, but we'll have
to see. I there was some worry that he might

(39:20):
not even make it into this year just because of
how bad they were last year.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Part of that's on on ownership.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Part of that's on the fact that they just don't
have the roster to be able to compete. You know,
Aaron Glenn fired quite a bit of that staff and
turned it over. I guess he's got guys he wants
in there now. I thought he had those guys when
he hired him the first place.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
I don't know, but.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
That's gonna be tough. It's it's tough for a running
back when you know you've got what Gino, the Ghost
of Gino Smith is gonna be the quarterback there this year.
It's I mean, does he have anything left after that
Raiders debacle?

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Well, I mean, if you read the clippings in New York,
the Jets organization, they believe in it, right And I'm
talking like, well, you have to believe in him because
that's the guy that you now have as your starting
quarterback because there's no Sarad Taylor, no Justin Fields. But
to answer your question whether Breeze Hall is going to flourish,

(40:15):
I'm going to say not as much as we might expect.
Because if you can't have those guys outside the numbers
create space for you, by backing off those guys out
of the box, it's going to make life for Breese
Hall really difficult. That's not to say that bres Hall
won't hit you with one of those tass sweeps on
the perimeter and break it. We've seen him do it

(40:36):
here against the Denver Broncos. So he's still one.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Hell of a back.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
But like Ben said, he doesn't have a supporting cash
that is going to make life easier for him. And
if the Jets have another terrible season, I do believe.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
That in the eighteen months. I guess you have his
Hall being traded.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
The Jets might look at that as they try to
part ways with their current coaches.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
You can just circle the quarterback depth chart here.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
It's Gino Smith, Caid club, Nick, Brady Cook, and Bailey Zabbey.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Come on.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
I saw a great tweet today where someone was like,
you know, if Caid Club Nick develops into our future
franchise quarterback, we could spend all three first round picks
on the roster next year.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
There was like, imagine if.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
That could happen, and someone quote tweeted it and went,
imagine if Anna de Armis started dating me. It's I think,
I will say, I think we may see a bit
of a dead cat bounce from Gino this year. I
just think the infrastructure is a little bit better than
what he had with the Raiders last season, So it's
maybe a little better. But yeah, it's going to be
ugly on that offense. The weapons aren't going to give

(41:39):
Bresee Hall a lot of help in terms of keeping
the defense. Honest, I do think they've got a solid
offensive line though, but if Paul wants to flourish, it's
going to be outside of New.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
York Yeah, that's just that ros looked rough six.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Panthers GM Dan Morgan said that free agent signing Rashid
Walker and first round pick Monroe will compete for the
starting left tackle job during training camp.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Who do you think will win that competition?

Speaker 5 (42:06):
And what do you make of the Packers investing so
much in their offensive line and only note that because
these two are filling in for Ikya Kwan Whu, they're
already established starting left tackle who previously was a top
ten draft pick.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Yeah, well she's having a heck of a uh. As
far as as far as that goes, I don't know.
I mean, Monorroal Frilly is probably gonna win that job.
You would think now Walker was Walker was brought on
to back up the kwand Wu on the left side,
and Freelan was gonna be the right tackle working.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
With Taylor Moden.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
But I guess that that, you know, injury has sort
of changed the way that works if those two guys
are competing.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Okay, Moneral Friley' is a echuable player. I think he
needs some seasoning, though, we'll see if he's gonn hit
the ground running.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Well, we definitely have to see. But investing in your
officive line.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
That is a valuable asset because you build front out, uh,
if you trying to.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Build a prolific offense.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
But also think about this, I mean, think about the
amount of pressure that Bryce Young has been under in
the Panthers' uniform. And he surprised a lot of people
last year with his ability because it seems as though
Atlanta Falcons was going to kind of win that division.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
But guess what, the Carolina Panthers came.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Out and oh, by the way, in two games against
the Los Angeles Rams, a team that everyone had predicted
would be in the Super Bowl, they pushed them. I
mean they really challenge you know, Matthew Stafford and Stafford
and both of those games turned the ball over and
I think a total four times four interceptions. So don't
sleep on the Carolina Panthers. They just need to fix

(43:41):
their offensive line. And this is Dan Morgan's way of
saying that the team's moving in the right direction.

Speaker 5 (43:46):
I think the NFC South will be fun to watch
this year. Like, I don't think there's going to be
a great team or a juggernaut out of it, but
I think they all feel like nine to eight, ten
and seven teams to me outside of maybe Atlanta, and
even then, Atlanta feels like a an In ten type team.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
I think you got the Saints with the up.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
And coming young quarterback Bryce Young's maybe not up and coming,
but he's at least established himself as a kind of fun,
hyper aggressive, low end starter that that's fun and entertaining.
The Bucks, of course, with Baker Mayfield, are a fun watch.
I just think that's gonna be a really fun division
to see play out this season.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
And by the way, the Mexico City game where the
forty nine ers vetoed the Broncos was an opponent because
they didn't want a team that was used to altitude
playing them at out suit.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
In Mexico City, it's gonna be the Vikings. So the
Broncos will not have an international game this year.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
So the San Francisco forty nine is gonna play the
miss of themselves.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
They're gonna play the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
It's like the two Spider Man's pointing at one another.
That's what it's like.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
The Broncos country, did I beg him for this
