See now this started like it sounded like Ryan Edwards. Yes,
it's like, look, we all know that the Rocky season
is not going to be what anyone may have hoped
they prayed for.

of series.

Hear as they won four of their last five, and
they are now only twenty five games out, just the
twenty five games out of second to last place.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
In the division. That's great.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Twenty five games, that's that's that's a whole lot better
than fifty games.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
As a matter of perspective, dream, that's what you get there.
If we don't really try, we can get to fifty games.

that's the life. I never heard what he knows. Just
my sunny, cheery disposition. That's snide and snarky.

for what they've do.

out of the galaxy, you know, the depressed robot.
Speaker 1 (01:53):

It's a decision.

one for doing one on one in a sixty? Did
he not know?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Did he?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Was it a no show because he had practice? I
couldn't answer that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All I can tell you is that he no showed
to court uh, and that he did not pay his
ticket off. He had gotten a ticket the sixth for
good ninety one to sixty five, and his second ticket
he got seventeenth eleven days later pulling one hundred uh
and one in a sixty in a pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It wasn't even like a sports car. He's doing it
in a pickup truck. That must have been a supercharge truck.
Because you're not doing that, You're not going that fast.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I see some people go crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Truck.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yes, you think about the old pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay, well he talking rams dirt were dirt road Arkansas pyah,
some guys market saying.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Language, I'm talking about Colorado, Colorado.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Pickup trucks here in Colorado two years Yeah, but not
going that cyber trucks and seething, you know, not that fast.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Come on, man, come on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So was he was. He was this story saying that
he would just received He received a citation and that
was it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He received a citation on June sixth. He no showed
for that citation on June sixteenth, and then on June seventeenth,
the very next day, uh, at twelve twenty four am,
he was going on on one in the sixty for
his second speeding infraction in eleven days.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Maybe wanted to see if they were paying attention or not.
They are. They definitely are just testing the radar out.
How was just checking out seat It was working, man.
Try to open it up a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Of youngsters when when they're driving, they tend to go
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My kids are getting the car, damn. I'm like, bro,
you guys know this car down huh yeah, yeah, you
gotta pot on bro Okay, I came in.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They're going this fast one in a sixty Is that
super speed?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And that's reckless? Okay, that's that's fast.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, you're going forty miles an hour over, not forty
forty over.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Story on the on the highway where it's like seventy
five and he's like eighty five.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You going eighty five or ninety. You know, resident it's
on the interstate, so not a residential. You know, it's
on the interstate. But still, I mean the speeder was
sixty five and you're going one hundred and one.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And that's fine. Maybe we let's get somewhere. Yeah, twelve
twenty four in the morning. Hey, maybe he's trying to
get back home at twelve twenty four in the morning. Yes,
might be trying to get back home.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Hey, listen, coach Herman. There was always said that nothing
good happens. Yes, after he went wrong, that that was
kind of the rule.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Maybe he was at the facility late, doing at a
little extra work, watching some tape and he had to
get home. He was just at a hurry. Yes, that
would not be the case. May have been leaving the
Gentleman's Club. Based on where he's pulled over, What.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Do you mean based on where he was pulled over?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There is a direct line between the Gentleman's Club and
his home.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, here's the question. How
is it that Ben knows that because Ben looked, curiosity
was piqued.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Hey, listen, let's just say, for the sake of argument,
the young man was trying to get from the shoe
model club to his dwelling, right.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I mean, I'm not saying that I condone it. I'm
totally against it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But when we were young, like Steve talks about his kids,
sometimes you can be a little reckless. Here's what I'm
glad that we didn't hear about this story. There was
no accident and it wasn't that intoxication. So so yes,
for this being the second time, it's Kevin Sefanski, they're
gonna have to talk to him, right, And because you
are Shu Door Sanders, it's a much larger story than.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It could be if it was another player. So they
get this on the you can pull it over and
it's swept on the rug. Nobody even hears about it, right,
I Like Dadymore, I didn't relate his story.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Kirk Cousins was pulled over for going disturbingly slow twenty
seven miles an hour on the Interest, and I was
just kidding about to say that it's like like super
safe in the city, slow in the fast letting.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But you know what, Stevens to Steve's point, it has
happened before where the officer is at the offices discretion.
You know, if he feels as though you're overly reckless
or whatever, he can give you a citation. Sometimes super speed,
he can actually arrest you. But he in this case
just gave him a citation. Just kind of let him
keep your pushing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, no, he was fortunate, very fortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, but apparently the team has already talked to him
and he's gonna be taking care of the tickets and
all that.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But yeah, that's not quarterback stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You want to see your quarterback out.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There, you know, reckless drive in twice in eleven days,
not go show it up to court.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But that's irresponsible.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, you know what, someone can look at it this
way and say, well, if you have a quarterback of
this caliber, mische door Sanders and you made the reference
to Kirk Cousins, maybe you want your quarterback to play
a little more reckless than he drives.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Or maybe he wanted attention to detail and getting your
stuff handled.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Hey listen, man, we've all been there.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, we've all been there before, right, I mean sometimes
once before.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Where can pull over for speed? Yes, never that much,
well not that much. But I'm just saying that you
were pulled over for speeding. I think I was.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Doing maybe eight over the speed limit, pulled me over,
got my licensed, restoration, ran the tags, came back, told me, hey,
slow down, dry safely and get home.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Last ticket I got I was seventeen years old. Last
time I got a ticket for what speeding? How fast
were you going?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That was like eight or nine? Over see? I think
my last one was back when I was in college. Yeah,
I was in high school when I got my last one. There?
How far? How far over the speed?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Ling?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Where were you going? That's back when the speeding of
like sixty five? I think I was going like back
when it was sixty five? What is it now? It's
seventy five fast?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And nowaday you go back? Get that expunge for me regularly. No,
I just saw it in the future. Man, there's five, six, six,
nine zeros.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Test.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I got a bunch of text coming in on and
somebody said, if someone like you or me was clocked
at one o one, it would lead to a suspended license.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Very true once again?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Possibly yes, or who's to say the cop wouldn't have
let you go.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's a strong possibility.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I mean maybe I've never if you pass it,
If you passed it, slide the military id.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, see I'll do that. Yeah, the nose touched cart wheels,
whatever it is. You know people should never do those
those sobriety tests.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, they're designed to make you faint if you haven't
been drinking. Well, if you haven't been drinking. I'm not
subjecting myself to a sobriety test.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We'll go back there, new Blood draw its fine, Yes,
let's go back, or just don't drink.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And drive to begin with, which I don't think you know,
if I drank, I was kidding more of the story. Yeah,
don't you get drive?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But Steve, if you have been in a situation where
someone puts you over and wanted you to do a
sobriety test, no, okay, exactly, and all this is on
the eve. No, I've always fit the description. I almost
put someone there. Are we gonna keep it one hundred?
But I'm just saying yes, because I never fit the description.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You don't fit, yes, but I'll do me with the
complexion of an iPhone flashlight.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But the times of the night when that kind of
stuff happens, I'm going me.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
At the house though. Oh see, I'm okay, I'm out,
I'm out, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, yes, that's what happens late late, yeah, at
midnight these days.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I walk everywhere, man, like I I'm you know, I'm
walking distance now, so it happen.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You're not that far.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You don't have to worry about me drinking and driver.
It's just thinking and driving. Get me in trouble five
six sixty nine. Yeros of text line Nick Utla says, Nick,
it's not a choice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The momforts have made been in me salty about the Rockies.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I know Rockies fans are salty about the outcome of
the season, and everyone is upset, so am I. As
far as making some changes, well those changes actually occur,
not it's not gonna happen. Like right was going and
I going his back and forth, and he asked me, well,
what what's the Rockies fans do to try to get
the pistlum and swinging opposite way?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
If you keep showing up, they're not gonna sage anything
when people are going to show up because of all
the things. Dick Monfort's a good owner on that side
of things. It's a fun experience going to Rocky game.
The stadium's nice, the party deck is fun, the atmosphere
is for the surrounding area is fun.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It sounds like you're described a six flags I mean
that particular area. He's a good owner.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
The bad the poor's a bad owner is the fact
that he hired in competent baseball people and then keep
shuffling the deck on the chair, you know, the chair
is on the on the Titanic instead of you know,
blowing that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Out and putting real baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
So Ryan told me this, I can't prove it because
I've never been on an upper deck. He said that
there is Cabana's on an upper deck, and I'm like, well,
if you have Cabana's on the upper deck, obviously you're
going to entice people to come. But they're coming for
the atmosphere. They're not They're not.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Coming for the game.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They just don't happen to see the field from the
cabanas back behind the little restaurants.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
TVs are something that you can watch the TVs.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So you're creating a party atmosphere, right, You're creating a party,
but but but not one where fans come out and
enjoy the game. Because the product is that great, the
ownership needs to do something about it. And my heart
(13:23):
goes out as as a Diehart Yankee fan, my heart
goes out to Rky's fan because this fan base deserves more.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That's just me.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why did you become Yankees fan? Because I grew up
in Florida and at the time.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. As spring trainings in Tampa Yankees were
really good when Nick was a kid.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay, So to answer your the Baltimore oarl yous used
to come down to Miami Stadium. That's where the hell
of their spring training. So my mom used to take
us to the Orioles games, just kind of spring training
to watch.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Then the Orioles up and f right. So I'm sitting
there at Orioles fan at first.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yes, okay, yes, so so we had no we had
no baseball at the time.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's no Martin Florida Panthers, no Marlins.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So I'm just sitting there at the football boarders town
watching karate flicks and then all of a sudden, I
mean I started to see an influx of Yankees games
and I was just like, okay, I was watching every
single time and boom.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's how it happened, all right, That's how it happened.
Pretty good back then too. They weren't losing, no, I
mean it's the Yankees. What years was that? Because? Uh,
I mean you don't go back to the Luke Garrit
Gays and the Luke Garrett. How old do you think
I had?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But no, but no, I mean the Yankees had some
some tough times, but they still were always competitive. So
for me watching, that's how I became a Yankees fans.
Like even though growing up in Miami, I was a
Stillness fan growing up right, so much so that I
told my mom, I said, and hey, I would like
to change my name, and she was like, to what,
(15:05):
I dan't Joe, No, frank O Harris.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
My mom said, boy, get out of my face.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Do you know what's crazy? I was still just fan
coming up to see because they were winning.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's probably that's probably the reason why.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just like you were, because because I just solved them
a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
They're just like did you see the students? They stayed
practicing there too. No no, no, no, no, just the games on television.
There we go. I was like the studiday. No, no, no,
it's the games.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It was the games on Television's just like fans here,
like they were seeing a lot of the Cubs games
because the Cubs were broadcast here on WGM exactly. So
they became Cubs fans even though they lived in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So that's kind of what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Five six sixty nine zero is the text line or
a resident in house Council profits. There's twenty percent of
solver people fail, sobriety tests one and five.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How that would be a question for him? I don't
know the answer, Brole, please text us in. Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Swear, I says the norm back in the sixties and
seventies on the highway was eighty five.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I wouldn't know. It wasn't alive then.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So NOA in the sixties and seventies you said that
in the sixties and seventies the speeder was eighty five.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I wouldn't drive it. I wouldn't lie. That sounds like
it was on an auto bombs.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
They were like heavy too, boy steel strange steel at
four pintos.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Some surprised those cars could get up. We're heavy sixties
seventies cars, boy boy, I guess they had a lot
of accidents, Like we gotta slow it down. Yeah, maybe
let's start wearing a seatelt.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Say cop, pull you over, say co, say, uh, you
were gargling with some hennessy.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't drink it. I was just goggling
with some hennessy. That's it. That passed it. With me.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Killing three Nick heart rates skyrockets all years his heart
flashed back to with Nick aka Mister Orange is prepping
for his undercover job.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The Orioles us to go down to Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I have no idea what that means, but all I
know is what I said. The Orioles were there spring
training and I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Was ors fan.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
All right, Franco, Now that does sound like an undercover name.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It just does.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A Franco fergus sounds like you worked for the cops, man,
you were for the Feds.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Wow, Now I'm an inform it now that is what
we'll call you undercover. First, his nickname Franco the Informant Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, as long as I'm not Dross mission there yeah,
I don't dross.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
All right, fair enough, we got a break. We'll be
back in for this five six, six, nine zeros of
text line mentoring. Mini caap wrapped up with a little
bit of guys that were kind of popping out there.
I mean, I'm not know as shorts and helmet, but
Hugh Robinson looks like you might be the truth, like
a real deal.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Uh boy rapped up to it. Looks like a man
out there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Actually I saw him last week at Johnny Cooper's football camp.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
He's every bit of six four. Yes, it's a big fellow.
You walk around the corner, you pump into it. I did.
I'm so sorry for being in your way.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You know what it brings something to my attention is
the love of competition and depth at every position.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Man. That's yes, the floor of this roster has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
In the George Payton era, get is built up to
the point where instead of we're having to make tough
decisions on who we're you know what we're gonna now,
We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Have to make tough decisions on who we got to keep.
You know, it used to be used to be who
we gotta get in here? Now it's like who you know,
gont go.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, And I can't think of a position that we're
not super deep at either.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm I mean I can think of one, like the
inside back of position. With the injuries. I mean, because
you cut, you got green Law coming back off.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Injury, you got Singleton coming back off injuries, not coming
back off injury. And Drew Sanders, who I mean, they
got a role for him, but he hadn't really taken.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
He can just get his stuff together this year, man
athlete is you get jerked around though.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's the same thing. Remember when Dee walk was here,
Mark Schwalker.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
They've kept moving him around, moving around, and you couldn't
And finally when they settled on a position, he had
a great breakout season there Chicago. I think if if
they can carve out a role for Sanders, Bick, this
is your role through this, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Speaking of you know, the Broncos wrapping up mini camp
and talking about the depth on the roster and the
floor of talent being so much better. Why is it
that we're not getting we're not hearing more praise about
George Peyton than we hear about maybe Sean Payton.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
What he's done with bo Knicks.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Why is it don't we don't hear about George Payton
giving him his I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
For your flowers. He can take that for granted.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I mean, you know, people take it for granted that
your general managers out there doing that. They credit Sean
Payton with, you know, the obvious thing in front of them,
the boon nixt.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Thing because they couldn't see that.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
But they don't really think about you know, a lot
of people don't think about it in terms of that.
And George Payton's done a great job since he's been here.
You know, if you listen to the media and the fans,
we would have patser Tan here.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All them dudes wanted justin fields. Look at that guy,
he's not what third third team in three years?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That is? That was?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
That was a nice uh nice nice pickup there boy soon.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And there were teams that were trying to get ahead
of the Broncos for all that they went. I got
the you know, arguably the best defensive player in the
league right now in pats are Tan.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I mean they've had good drafts.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I got Quinn Minors in the third round, one of
the best guards in football. Yeah, you know, George Payton's
had some good drafts here.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And the biggest thing for me about George Peyton the
Broncos GM is that finding those diamonds in the rough
and when you draft guys like how many teams can say, well,
there's a large number of their draft picks who actually
contributed in the big way in their first year.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Looking at what George Payton has.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Done since his time being here, and obviously sometimes there's
gonna be some missus, but for me, I don't like
to focus on those negative things. Let's talk about what
it is that he's done well. And I feel personally
that there's not a lot of conversation and dialogue about
him and what he's done and his fingerprint on this roster.
(21:11):
We always hear about the players themselves, the officive coordinator,
the quarterback, but never about this particular individual. Because am
I wrong in thinking, Okay, well, where where we saw
the team get to last year in Buffalo wasn't great?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
But he was the architect behind that, So.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Sudn'ts you know, we started talking about more about him
and his capabilities.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think we should. I mean I think that, uh,
it's just going to be interesting to see, you know,
the jump this year because you know, you get the
Chargers their second year under under Harball.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's gonna be interesting. Uh, you got Raiders, got a
new coaching staff, Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
They're not going to be a pushover pushover, you know,
And then they had gent Yeah, and yeah, there's I mean,
it's it's I think this is going to be an
interesting litmus test for this team.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And is it you know, did we did? We just
get lucky last year?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And I hate to put it that way because those
guys put in a lot of work and to say
it's lucky, he's diminishing. But we also got to play
a fairly easy schedule last year. We had the ball
bounce the right way most of the time. Obviously the
field goals the city, yeah, the right way, but we
had the ball bounce the right way. I mean, the
missed field goals. With the Jets game, there were you know,
there were all kinds of stuff. We we had some
(22:22):
players we feasted on those turnovers against the Colts win.
He dropped the ball and you know and all that
game was going the other direction. John Taylor was about
to put that thing in the end zone. Yeah, it
was going the other direction the Raiders game, where before
Sir tan House that picked six or Minshew that was
going the other way and that game.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Was getting out of control.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But everything that you were missing right now, it's pointing
in the direction of one group and that's the defense
and that and there you go, and and that's why
haul them. But guy, because they always seemed to come
plays in the cause. What you think about this, like
then you said, well, maybe might have been luck or whatever.
(23:01):
Sixty three sacks, man, sixty three seconds.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
We talk about getting home. When you think about Super.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Bowl fifteen, twenty fifteen, they had fifty two, right, they
had fifty two. Now, granted we had one extra game, okay,
give it one extra game, but still that's that's eleven
more sacks than the twenty fifteen team had. So if
this team can come together collectively try to duplicate the
(23:30):
production they had defensively, which is going to be very
difficult to do. But if they didn't even get to
fifty sacks, that is going to be a large booze
for the Broncos offense.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And now you got JK. Dobbins and RJ. Harvey Man,
I mean, do you think underestimated our defense last year.
I get did.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I remember in preseason I watching them and I was like, oh,
this defense could be good, it could be nice. I
was tweeting out about it, and people like I, oh, whatever,
you know whatever. I'm like, No, No, this defense gonna sneak
up on people's year. I'm not sneaking up on anybody now.
Everybody knows. Yeah, everybody knows. The defense is the truth.
They're not gonna sneak up on anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
The offense, you know, looks like it's starting a round
into form as well. I don't think gonna sneak up
on anybody. Everybody's gonna be prepared to get to you know,
to give to them their best punch.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
But see that that's where this team has to improve
on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You want to approve improve overall, but it's on the
offensive side of the ball. If the offense can.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Elevate their love with play to the level of production
that we saw last year from the defense, it's not
even gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Be funny to shoe.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
We had quite a few young players playing last year
and contributing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, we had some drop passes here and there.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
We had, you know, some some fumbles here and there,
but I think a year in, man, we have the
talent to do it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I think we got the players now, we now they
gotta go out and play.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
This is why, this is why.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know, I can't speak for you guys or
everyone listening, but this is why my expectations.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
For this team are out of the roof.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Now, I'm not going as far as make any Super
Bowl preditions, but Nick Ferguson has just guaranteed the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
In the regular season. No, no, no, I didn't didn't
do that.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But this team has the capabilities of winning maybe twelve
to thirteen games in my opinion. They go out there
and they handle their business and both sides do their part.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
There's no reason why this team.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
And in saying that, yes, I'm talking about the possibility
of beating Kansas City twice.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's a true possibility.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Well, I think you got to be in once in
Arrowhead before. Forget that once Ben, No, we had the road. Yes,
this team is capable of beating Kansas City twice.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
By the way, in the last game of the season,
the Broncos had five sacks, so that seventeenth game wouldn't
have mattered. They still would have been ahead of the
twenty fifteen team without Carson Wentz and Chris Luda couldn't
get the sack five times, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Okay. And then when you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Got guys who are rushed, who were edged rushers intercepting passes.
Notice I say, I didn't say fumble recovery. He's Nick
Benito intercepted a pass. Yes, yes, when you got guys
take it to the creb, Well, you got guys.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Playing like that.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
To me, it only elevates this level of play. And
then now you at all the other editions. Man, it's
it's hell Steve. If I could I get in Tom
Capsu and go and play for the Broncos again, HiT's
what I said.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If I could.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
The hell out of come back at fifty boy, what
was the bing game?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yes, because in that I show would have been Broncos
training the camp like I'm good to go?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, why do you keep rubbing your own hair? Why
you got a T shirt?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Says Balco on it. He started trying to make a
good point and then he just started here, I'll read
Broncos said the second best point DIFFRENI on the a
f C, which they did, although part of that was
beating up on the Falcons the Panthers uh Kansas City's
back ups thirty eight nothing part of that's the reason
they had a differential. The Broncos were won in six
(27:05):
and one score games. That is also correct, and you
could consider that unlucky except a lot of those one
score games. So I'm trying to catch back up last second,
like the Bengals game that they look a little bit
better than it was. He's like, screw you and you're
lucky narrative, You hateful scumbag kick rocks Benji.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, what's doing Denver?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's like exigned me a new contract because.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm so bad at this? Did you write that? No?
I did write that my fingers were not moving great?
Did you write that? No comment You're probably the most
dishonest person on the radio tool what I know?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You get these weird o clowns anyway, My favorite one,
bo Nix is about to make little Benji cry.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Why would I cry? Like to win? Like like I
want them to win? What? What?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I don't even understand people. Someday you get these weird
and I'm like, I'm talking to you, buddy. You get
these weird nerds out here, they just make the most
acidine thing up in the world.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'll get your phone number two.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Like, I'm sitting here looking at your phone number because
you texted in like an idiot, So now I know
who you are.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, you're sitting there doing like why would you do that? Good?
Being a class the off season. We want the Broncos
to win. There we go, knock it off, there you go.
I mean, I'm not even mad. I'm just like, like,
who texts the time to do?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Like you literally so mad at me in your car
right now as you're fired off text messages over like.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Close the phone. I'm thinking that was grass Man pulled over. Yeah,
it trying to get out of my skit just.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Gonside and touch grass Man, Like you gotta be something
more deeming in your life. And you know, the texting
me that kind of just stupidity, Like, I mean, he
makes a point. The Broncos were one in six and
one score games. Is that indicative of bad luck by
the Broncos and inability to close Just the way the
ball bounces, I would.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Say it's uh clothing, right, you have to have the
ability to close out games and finish games, almost like
a running back. You always hear a coaching when they
talk about running backs. We want a running back that
finishes and finishing it with physicality. And when you think
about a lot of these games last year and even
this year, a lot of these games are going to
(29:19):
be really close games because every single team is pretty
much gotten better from a roster standpoint. So can you yeah,
can you make that play when it counts?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And I go back to this because I got a
chance to see.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
It and I love them when it happens. When you
think about the no fly zone and that defense underway Phillips,
when the Broncos fans felt as though someone needed to play.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Someone always made a play.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You don't know who was going to be, but someone
made the play to allow the team to actually finish.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But is that giving you confidence in where you're going
from here?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Or does that make you step back and say we
can't rely on these you know these turn on a
dime plays, Jonathan Taylor dropping the ball before crossing the
end ze house and have picked six against you know
Minshew to stem.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The tide because we were bleeding at that point.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
But I think that at this stage we feel like
we are a better team all around. I would, and
we have more playmakers on a team. And then being
a year older, I think another year in the system,
guys are just that much more comfortable in both knicks
not in his first year. Again, he's you know, got
all the jitters out. I think that this team will
(30:26):
be markedly better, especially on offense. You know, I think
offensively we did did really well, especially considered we had
a rookie quarterback and everything.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
We had some we had some favorable matchups last year.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
We got to play Spencer Ratler on Thursday night when
the Saints were real in. We played a bad Falcons team.
We played the Raiders twice and they were reel in.
We got the Panthers, one of the worst teams in
football last year.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I mean we did get some some jenners.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I don't think we got too many of those this
year because we got to play the NFC East.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now you got the.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Giants, but beyond that, that's a tough schedule that they
got this year.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I don't say this did Jonathan Taylor play. I mean
that that was a look of the draw right that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
That doesn't. Don't Barber with the t bow game doesn't?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Right? But the PS two play, I can see that
happening because here you put the quarterback in a tough position.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Even though he had brought.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Bauers open, he decided, well, I'm gonna go for the touchdown.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And he didn't see PS two.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
That is a more likely play that could play out
again this season opposed to Jonathan Taylor. So so we
can say a lot of these games come down to
who can execute and the strategy of the coach, But
there is some luck involved. Sometimes you gotta have the
ball bounce in your way, go back.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
To can't city the game, but the football gods give
us and they take away.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Who thought that was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Nobody, exactly, Nobody like Eastwoot said, no bad, no bad.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Hit a break man Rockers cut your neck back up
for this
Hall of Fame mustache, Grant Smith spector. Gee, look at that.
Look at that thing's feathered and lethal. You're wrapping the
Rockies too. Yeah, he's got the Rocky hattle.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Even after they lost today in the eleventh inning on
a walk off home run.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Four out of five wins, Ben, four wins.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
See now this started like it sounded like Ryan Edwards. Yes,
it's like, look, we all know that the Rocky season
is not going to be what anyone may have hoped
they prayed for.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But at least cross the thing.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
As you get a couple of wins, win a couple
of series.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You appalled that man, You.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Hear as they won four of their last five, and
they are now only twenty five games out, just the
twenty five games out of second to last place.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
In the division. That's great.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Twenty five games, that's that's that's a whole lot better
than fifty games.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
As a matter of perspective, dream, that's what you get there.
If we don't really try, we can get to fifty games.
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
See this is where Ryan. I gotta get Ryan and
Ben on the same page. I'm never going to get there.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
He's not. No, at least that's right, right. Maybe, I
mean I am known for my optimism. That is the thing. Definitely,
that's the life. I never heard what he knows. Just
my sunny, cheery disposition. That's snide and snarky.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Give the Rockies a little, a little, you know, handclap
for what they've do.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You good for you? What do they lose?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
A row?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
No wet blanket? All right, he's already recording. Yeah, never
never gets man. Man, Just cheer up, man, cheer up.
I'm there of sports talk radio. The only thing will
make him happy is wins.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I'm like the I'm like Alan Rickman's character and hitchhikers
out of the galaxy, you know, the depressed robot.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I mean I could, but what would be the point.
It's a decision.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You make a decision to be that, particularly what you
can change. Ben told I got I've got too old
a chance I'm sitting the way. See see now you
sound like my dad. Yeah, I got too old, and
d said the same thing. I got too old and young,
the same thing. I'm too said in my ways I'm older.
Now what did the backstart her?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And you say that back and ready start I'm just saying,
said I'm trying to go to Daddy's for the Early
Birds festival.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Got a Brandy track suit, so I started walking the
mall looking like Al David and the white trucks, walking.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Them all at six am until the Blue Hairs. You
got too young to be talking about all.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, that's been not me, that's been trying to fast fifty.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh yeah, I'm forty four. Yeah, you're right behind me. Yeah,
I'm forty four. Yeah, young fellows, got good knees. Yes,
you looked as fall there. Ben's kind of that young
old Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
At the same time, I was twenty years Yeah, twenty
years ago exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
The body was never due. It came out. It came out.
The womb used. So he gotta tell nobody, right, Oh
five six six zero text one. You guys want to
get involved in the conversation. I don't know, yess Yes, Shelby,
I'm not to show you door Sanders thing. Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The cop pulled him over, said he was doing like
a hundred or something.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, except that's not his first speeding tickets is showing
in the browns. He was previously cited by Ohio State
Highway Patrol on June sixth for during ninety one in
the sixty five at five thirteen in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
He's got a last thirteen in the afternoon.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I said, the rest trafficking and missus Jamison the raiment
related to that on a weekend, so he no showed
maybe uh, yeah, he no showed a court on the
first ticket seventeenth.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The night after his court date, he got a second
one for doing one on one in a sixty? Did
he not know?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Did he?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Was it a no show because he had practice? I
couldn't answer that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All I can tell you is that he no showed
to court uh, and that he did not pay his
ticket off. He had gotten a ticket the sixth for
good ninety one to sixty five, and his second ticket
he got seventeenth eleven days later pulling one hundred uh
and one in a sixty in a pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It wasn't even like a sports car. He's doing it
in a pickup truck. That must have been a supercharge truck.
Because you're not doing that, You're not going that fast.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I see some people go crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Truck.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yes, you think about the old pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay, well he talking rams dirt were dirt road Arkansas pyah,
some guys market saying.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Language, I'm talking about Colorado, Colorado.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Pickup trucks here in Colorado two years Yeah, but not
going that cyber trucks and seething, you know, not that fast.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Come on, man, come on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So was he was. He was this story saying that
he would just received He received a citation and that
was it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
He received a citation on June sixth. He no showed
for that citation on June sixteenth, and then on June seventeenth,
the very next day, uh, at twelve twenty four am,
he was going on on one in the sixty for
his second speeding infraction in eleven days.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Maybe wanted to see if they were paying attention or not.
They are. They definitely are just testing the radar out.
How was just checking out seat It was working, man.
Try to open it up a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Of youngsters when when they're driving, they tend to go
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My kids are getting the car, damn. I'm like, bro,
you guys know this car down huh yeah, yeah, you
gotta pot on bro Okay, I came in.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They're going this fast one in a sixty Is that
super speed?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And that's reckless? Okay, that's that's fast.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, you're going forty miles an hour over, not forty
forty over.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Story on the on the highway where it's like seventy
five and he's like eighty five.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You going eighty five or ninety. You know, resident it's
on the interstate, so not a residential. You know, it's
on the interstate. But still, I mean the speeder was
sixty five and you're going one hundred and one.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And that's fine. Maybe we let's get somewhere. Yeah, twelve
twenty four in the morning. Hey, maybe he's trying to
get back home at twelve twenty four in the morning. Yes,
might be trying to get back home.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Hey, listen, coach Herman. There was always said that nothing
good happens. Yes, after he went wrong, that that was
kind of the rule.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Maybe he was at the facility late, doing at a
little extra work, watching some tape and he had to
get home. He was just at a hurry. Yes, that
would not be the case. May have been leaving the
Gentleman's Club. Based on where he's pulled over, What.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Do you mean based on where he was pulled over?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There is a direct line between the Gentleman's Club and
his home.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, here's the question. How
is it that Ben knows that because Ben looked, curiosity
was piqued.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Hey, listen, let's just say, for the sake of argument,
the young man was trying to get from the shoe
model club to his dwelling, right.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I mean, I'm not saying that I condone it. I'm
totally against it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But when we were young, like Steve talks about his kids,
sometimes you can be a little reckless. Here's what I'm
glad that we didn't hear about this story. There was
no accident and it wasn't that intoxication. So so yes,
for this being the second time, it's Kevin Sefanski, they're
gonna have to talk to him, right, And because you
are Shu Door Sanders, it's a much larger story than.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It could be if it was another player. So they
get this on the you can pull it over and
it's swept on the rug. Nobody even hears about it, right,
I Like Dadymore, I didn't relate his story.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Kirk Cousins was pulled over for going disturbingly slow twenty
seven miles an hour on the Interest, and I was
just kidding about to say that it's like like super
safe in the city, slow in the fast letting.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But you know what, Stevens to Steve's point, it has
happened before where the officer is at the offices discretion.
You know, if he feels as though you're overly reckless
or whatever, he can give you a citation. Sometimes super speed,
he can actually arrest you. But he in this case
just gave him a citation. Just kind of let him
keep your pushing.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, no, he was fortunate, very fortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, but apparently the team has already talked to him
and he's gonna be taking care of the tickets and
all that.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But yeah, that's not quarterback stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You want to see your quarterback out.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There, you know, reckless drive in twice in eleven days,
not go show it up to court.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But that's irresponsible.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Well, you know what, someone can look at it this
way and say, well, if you have a quarterback of
this caliber, mische door Sanders and you made the reference
to Kirk Cousins, maybe you want your quarterback to play
a little more reckless than he drives.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Or maybe he wanted attention to detail and getting your
stuff handled.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Hey listen, man, we've all been there.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, we've all been there before, right, I mean sometimes
once before.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Where can pull over for speed? Yes, never that much,
well not that much. But I'm just saying that you
were pulled over for speeding. I think I was.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Doing maybe eight over the speed limit, pulled me over,
got my licensed, restoration, ran the tags, came back, told me, hey,
slow down, dry safely and get home.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Last ticket I got I was seventeen years old. Last
time I got a ticket for what speeding? How fast
were you going?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That was like eight or nine? Over see? I think
my last one was back when I was in college. Yeah,
I was in high school when I got my last one. There?
How far? How far over the speed?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Ling?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Where were you going? That's back when the speeding of
like sixty five? I think I was going like back
when it was sixty five? What is it now? It's
seventy five fast?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And nowaday you go back? Get that expunge for me regularly. No,
I just saw it in the future. Man, there's five, six, six,
nine zeros.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Test.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I got a bunch of text coming in on and
somebody said, if someone like you or me was clocked
at one o one, it would lead to a suspended license.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Very true once again?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Possibly yes, or who's to say the cop wouldn't have
let you go.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's a strong possibility.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I mean maybe I've never if you pass it,
If you passed it, slide the military id.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, see I'll do that. Yeah, the nose touched cart wheels,
whatever it is. You know people should never do those
those sobriety tests.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, they're designed to make you faint if you haven't
been drinking. Well, if you haven't been drinking. I'm not
subjecting myself to a sobriety test.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We'll go back there, new Blood draw its fine, Yes,
let's go back, or just don't drink.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And drive to begin with, which I don't think you know,
if I drank, I was kidding more of the story. Yeah,
don't you get drive?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
But Steve, if you have been in a situation where
someone puts you over and wanted you to do a
sobriety test, no, okay, exactly, and all this is on
the eve. No, I've always fit the description. I almost
put someone there. Are we gonna keep it one hundred?
But I'm just saying yes, because I never fit the description.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the obvious reasons.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You don't fit, yes, but I'll do me with the
complexion of an iPhone flashlight.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But the times of the night when that kind of
stuff happens, I'm going me.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
At the house though. Oh see, I'm okay, I'm out,
I'm out, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, yes, that's what happens late late, yeah, at
midnight these days.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I walk everywhere, man, like I I'm you know, I'm
walking distance now, so it happen.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You're not that far.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You don't have to worry about me drinking and driver.
It's just thinking and driving. Get me in trouble five
six sixty nine. Yeros of text line Nick Utla says, Nick,
it's not a choice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The momforts have made been in me salty about the Rockies.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I know Rockies fans are salty about the outcome of
the season, and everyone is upset, so am I. As
far as making some changes, well those changes actually occur,
not it's not gonna happen. Like right was going and
I going his back and forth, and he asked me, well,
what what's the Rockies fans do to try to get
the pistlum and swinging opposite way?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
If you keep showing up, they're not gonna sage anything
when people are going to show up because of all
the things. Dick Monfort's a good owner on that side
of things. It's a fun experience going to Rocky game.
The stadium's nice, the party deck is fun, the atmosphere
is for the surrounding area is fun.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It sounds like you're described a six flags I mean
that particular area. He's a good owner.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
The bad the poor's a bad owner is the fact
that he hired in competent baseball people and then keep
shuffling the deck on the chair, you know, the chair
is on the on the Titanic instead of you know,
blowing that thing.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Out and putting real baseball.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
So Ryan told me this, I can't prove it because
I've never been on an upper deck. He said that
there is Cabana's on an upper deck, and I'm like, well,
if you have Cabana's on the upper deck, obviously you're
going to entice people to come. But they're coming for
the atmosphere. They're not They're not.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Coming for the game.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They just don't happen to see the field from the
cabanas back behind the little restaurants.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
TVs are something that you can watch the TVs.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So you're creating a party atmosphere, right, You're creating a party,
but but but not one where fans come out and
enjoy the game. Because the product is that great, the
ownership needs to do something about it. And my heart
(13:23):
goes out as as a Diehart Yankee fan, my heart
goes out to Rky's fan because this fan base deserves more.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That's just me.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why did you become Yankees fan? Because I grew up
in Florida and at the time.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. As spring trainings in Tampa Yankees were
really good when Nick was a kid.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay, So to answer your the Baltimore oarl yous used
to come down to Miami Stadium. That's where the hell
of their spring training. So my mom used to take
us to the Orioles games, just kind of spring training
to watch.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Then the Orioles up and f right. So I'm sitting
there at Orioles fan at first.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yes, okay, yes, so so we had no we had
no baseball at the time.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's no Martin Florida Panthers, no Marlins.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So I'm just sitting there at the football boarders town
watching karate flicks and then all of a sudden, I
mean I started to see an influx of Yankees games
and I was just like, okay, I was watching every
single time and boom.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's how it happened, all right, That's how it happened.
Pretty good back then too. They weren't losing, no, I
mean it's the Yankees. What years was that? Because? Uh,
I mean you don't go back to the Luke Garrit
Gays and the Luke Garrett. How old do you think
I had?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But no, but no, I mean the Yankees had some
some tough times, but they still were always competitive. So
for me watching, that's how I became a Yankees fans.
Like even though growing up in Miami, I was a
Stillness fan growing up right, so much so that I
told my mom, I said, and hey, I would like
to change my name, and she was like, to what,
(15:05):
I dan't Joe, No, frank O Harris.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
My mom said, boy, get out of my face.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Do you know what's crazy? I was still just fan
coming up to see because they were winning.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's probably that's probably the reason why.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just like you were, because because I just solved them
a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
They're just like did you see the students? They stayed
practicing there too. No no, no, no, no, just the games on television.
There we go. I was like the studiday. No, no, no,
it's the games.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It was the games on Television's just like fans here,
like they were seeing a lot of the Cubs games
because the Cubs were broadcast here on WGM exactly. So
they became Cubs fans even though they lived in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So that's kind of what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Five six sixty nine zero is the text line or
a resident in house Council profits. There's twenty percent of
solver people fail, sobriety tests one and five.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
How that would be a question for him? I don't
know the answer, Brole, please text us in. Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Swear, I says the norm back in the sixties and
seventies on the highway was eighty five.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I wouldn't know. It wasn't alive then.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So NOA in the sixties and seventies you said that
in the sixties and seventies the speeder was eighty five.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I wouldn't drive it. I wouldn't lie. That sounds like
it was on an auto bombs.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
They were like heavy too, boy steel strange steel at
four pintos.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Some surprised those cars could get up. We're heavy sixties
seventies cars, boy boy, I guess they had a lot
of accidents, Like we gotta slow it down. Yeah, maybe
let's start wearing a seatelt.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Say cop, pull you over, say co, say, uh, you
were gargling with some hennessy.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't drink it. I was just goggling
with some hennessy. That's it. That passed it. With me.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Killing three Nick heart rates skyrockets all years his heart
flashed back to with Nick aka Mister Orange is prepping
for his undercover job.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The Orioles us to go down to Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I have no idea what that means, but all I
know is what I said. The Orioles were there spring
training and I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Was ors fan.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
All right, Franco, Now that does sound like an undercover name.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It just does.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
A Franco fergus sounds like you worked for the cops, man,
you were for the Feds.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Wow, Now I'm an inform it now that is what
we'll call you undercover. First, his nickname Franco the Informant Ferguson.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Well, as long as I'm not Dross mission there yeah,
I don't dross.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
All right, fair enough, we got a break. We'll be
back in for this five six, six, nine zeros of
text line mentoring. Mini caap wrapped up with a little
bit of guys that were kind of popping out there.
I mean, I'm not know as shorts and helmet, but
Hugh Robinson looks like you might be the truth, like
a real deal.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Uh boy rapped up to it. Looks like a man
out there. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Actually I saw him last week at Johnny Cooper's football camp.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
He's every bit of six four. Yes, it's a big fellow.
You walk around the corner, you pump into it. I did.
I'm so sorry for being in your way.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You know what it brings something to my attention is
the love of competition and depth at every position.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Man. That's yes, the floor of this roster has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
In the George Payton era, get is built up to
the point where instead of we're having to make tough
decisions on who we're you know what we're gonna now,
We're gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Have to make tough decisions on who we got to keep.
You know, it used to be used to be who
we gotta get in here? Now it's like who you know,
gont go.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, And I can't think of a position that we're
not super deep at either.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm I mean I can think of one, like the
inside back of position. With the injuries. I mean, because
you cut, you got green Law coming back off.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Injury, you got Singleton coming back off injuries, not coming
back off injury. And Drew Sanders, who I mean, they
got a role for him, but he hadn't really taken.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
He can just get his stuff together this year, man
athlete is you get jerked around though.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's the same thing. Remember when Dee walk was here,
Mark Schwalker.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
They've kept moving him around, moving around, and you couldn't
And finally when they settled on a position, he had
a great breakout season there Chicago. I think if if
they can carve out a role for Sanders, Bick, this
is your role through this, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Speaking of you know, the Broncos wrapping up mini camp
and talking about the depth on the roster and the
floor of talent being so much better. Why is it
that we're not getting we're not hearing more praise about
George Peyton than we hear about maybe Sean Payton.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
What he's done with bo Knicks.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Why is it don't we don't hear about George Payton
giving him his I guess.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
For your flowers. He can take that for granted.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I mean, you know, people take it for granted that
your general managers out there doing that. They credit Sean
Payton with, you know, the obvious thing in front of them,
the boon nixt.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Thing because they couldn't see that.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
But they don't really think about you know, a lot
of people don't think about it in terms of that.
And George Payton's done a great job since he's been here.
You know, if you listen to the media and the fans,
we would have patser Tan here.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All them dudes wanted justin fields. Look at that guy,
he's not what third third team in three years?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That is? That was?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
That was a nice uh nice nice pickup there boy soon.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And there were teams that were trying to get ahead
of the Broncos for all that they went. I got
the you know, arguably the best defensive player in the
league right now in pats are Tan.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I mean they've had good drafts.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I got Quinn Minors in the third round, one of
the best guards in football. Yeah, you know, George Payton's
had some good drafts here.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
And the biggest thing for me about George Peyton the
Broncos GM is that finding those diamonds in the rough
and when you draft guys like how many teams can say, well,
there's a large number of their draft picks who actually
contributed in the big way in their first year.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Looking at what George Payton has.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Done since his time being here, and obviously sometimes there's
gonna be some missus, but for me, I don't like
to focus on those negative things. Let's talk about what
it is that he's done well. And I feel personally
that there's not a lot of conversation and dialogue about
him and what he's done and his fingerprint on this roster.
(21:11):
We always hear about the players themselves, the officive coordinator,
the quarterback, but never about this particular individual. Because am
I wrong in thinking, Okay, well, where where we saw
the team get to last year in Buffalo wasn't great?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
But he was the architect behind that, So.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Sudn'ts you know, we started talking about more about him
and his capabilities.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think we should. I mean I think that, uh,
it's just going to be interesting to see, you know,
the jump this year because you know, you get the
Chargers their second year under under Harball.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's gonna be interesting. Uh, you got Raiders, got a
new coaching staff, Pete Carroll.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
They're not going to be a pushover pushover, you know,
And then they had gent Yeah, and yeah, there's I mean,
it's it's I think this is going to be an
interesting litmus test for this team.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And is it you know, did we did? We just
get lucky last year?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And I hate to put it that way because those
guys put in a lot of work and to say
it's lucky, he's diminishing. But we also got to play
a fairly easy schedule last year. We had the ball
bounce the right way most of the time. Obviously the
field goals the city, yeah, the right way, but we
had the ball bounce the right way. I mean, the
missed field goals. With the Jets game, there were you know,
there were all kinds of stuff. We we had some
(22:22):
players we feasted on those turnovers against the Colts win.
He dropped the ball and you know and all that
game was going the other direction. John Taylor was about
to put that thing in the end zone. Yeah, it
was going the other direction the Raiders game, where before
Sir tan House that picked six or Minshew that was
going the other way and that game.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Was getting out of control.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
But everything that you were missing right now, it's pointing
in the direction of one group and that's the defense
and that and there you go, and and that's why
haul them. But guy, because they always seemed to come
plays in the cause. What you think about this, like
then you said, well, maybe might have been luck or whatever.
(23:01):
Sixty three sacks, man, sixty three seconds.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
We talk about getting home. When you think about Super.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Bowl fifteen, twenty fifteen, they had fifty two, right, they
had fifty two. Now, granted we had one extra game, okay,
give it one extra game, but still that's that's eleven
more sacks than the twenty fifteen team had. So if
this team can come together collectively try to duplicate the
(23:30):
production they had defensively, which is going to be very
difficult to do. But if they didn't even get to
fifty sacks, that is going to be a large booze
for the Broncos offense.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And now you got JK. Dobbins and RJ. Harvey Man,
I mean, do you think underestimated our defense last year.
I get did.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I remember in preseason I watching them and I was like, oh,
this defense could be good, it could be nice. I
was tweeting out about it, and people like I, oh, whatever,
you know whatever. I'm like, No, No, this defense gonna sneak
up on people's year. I'm not sneaking up on anybody now.
Everybody knows. Yeah, everybody knows. The defense is the truth.
They're not gonna sneak up on anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
The offense, you know, looks like it's starting a round
into form as well. I don't think gonna sneak up
on anybody. Everybody's gonna be prepared to get to you know,
to give to them their best punch.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
But see that that's where this team has to improve
on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You want to approve improve overall, but it's on the
offensive side of the ball. If the offense can.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Elevate their love with play to the level of production
that we saw last year from the defense, it's not
even gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Be funny to shoe.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
We had quite a few young players playing last year
and contributing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, we had some drop passes here and there.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
We had, you know, some some fumbles here and there,
but I think a year in, man, we have the
talent to do it.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I think we got the players now, we now they
gotta go out and play.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
This is why, this is why.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know, I can't speak for you guys or
everyone listening, but this is why my expectations.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
For this team are out of the roof.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Now, I'm not going as far as make any Super
Bowl preditions, but Nick Ferguson has just guaranteed the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
In the regular season. No, no, no, I didn't didn't
do that.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But this team has the capabilities of winning maybe twelve
to thirteen games in my opinion. They go out there
and they handle their business and both sides do their part.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
There's no reason why this team.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
And in saying that, yes, I'm talking about the possibility
of beating Kansas City twice.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's a true possibility.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Well, I think you got to be in once in
Arrowhead before. Forget that once Ben, No, we had the road. Yes,
this team is capable of beating Kansas City twice.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
By the way, in the last game of the season,
the Broncos had five sacks, so that seventeenth game wouldn't
have mattered. They still would have been ahead of the
twenty fifteen team without Carson Wentz and Chris Luda couldn't
get the sack five times, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Okay. And then when you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Got guys who are rushed, who were edged rushers intercepting passes.
Notice I say, I didn't say fumble recovery. He's Nick
Benito intercepted a pass. Yes, yes, when you got guys
take it to the creb, Well, you got guys.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Playing like that.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
To me, it only elevates this level of play. And
then now you at all the other editions. Man, it's
it's hell Steve. If I could I get in Tom
Capsu and go and play for the Broncos again, HiT's
what I said.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If I could.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
The hell out of come back at fifty boy, what
was the bing game?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yes, because in that I show would have been Broncos
training the camp like I'm good to go?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, why do you keep rubbing your own hair? Why
you got a T shirt?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Says Balco on it. He started trying to make a
good point and then he just started here, I'll read
Broncos said the second best point DIFFRENI on the a
f C, which they did, although part of that was
beating up on the Falcons the Panthers uh Kansas City's
back ups thirty eight nothing part of that's the reason
they had a differential. The Broncos were won in six
(27:05):
and one score games. That is also correct, and you
could consider that unlucky except a lot of those one
score games. So I'm trying to catch back up last second,
like the Bengals game that they look a little bit
better than it was. He's like, screw you and you're
lucky narrative, You hateful scumbag kick rocks Benji.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, what's doing Denver?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's like exigned me a new contract because.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm so bad at this? Did you write that? No?
I did write that my fingers were not moving great?
Did you write that? No comment You're probably the most
dishonest person on the radio tool what I know?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
You get these weird o clowns anyway, My favorite one,
bo Nix is about to make little Benji cry.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Why would I cry? Like to win? Like like I
want them to win? What? What?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I don't even understand people. Someday you get these weird
and I'm like, I'm talking to you, buddy. You get
these weird nerds out here, they just make the most
acidine thing up in the world.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'll get your phone number two.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Like, I'm sitting here looking at your phone number because
you texted in like an idiot, So now I know
who you are.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, you're sitting there doing like why would you do that? Good?
Being a class the off season. We want the Broncos
to win. There we go, knock it off, there you go.
I mean, I'm not even mad. I'm just like, like,
who texts the time to do?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Like you literally so mad at me in your car
right now as you're fired off text messages over like.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Close the phone. I'm thinking that was grass Man pulled over. Yeah,
it trying to get out of my skit just.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Gonside and touch grass Man, Like you gotta be something
more deeming in your life. And you know, the texting
me that kind of just stupidity, Like, I mean, he
makes a point. The Broncos were one in six and
one score games. Is that indicative of bad luck by
the Broncos and inability to close Just the way the
ball bounces, I would.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Say it's uh clothing, right, you have to have the
ability to close out games and finish games, almost like
a running back. You always hear a coaching when they
talk about running backs. We want a running back that
finishes and finishing it with physicality. And when you think
about a lot of these games last year and even
this year, a lot of these games are going to
(29:19):
be really close games because every single team is pretty
much gotten better from a roster standpoint. So can you yeah,
can you make that play when it counts?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And I go back to this because I got a
chance to see.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
It and I love them when it happens. When you
think about the no fly zone and that defense underway Phillips,
when the Broncos fans felt as though someone needed to play.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Someone always made a play.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You don't know who was going to be, but someone
made the play to allow the team to actually finish.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But is that giving you confidence in where you're going
from here?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Or does that make you step back and say we
can't rely on these you know these turn on a
dime plays, Jonathan Taylor dropping the ball before crossing the
end ze house and have picked six against you know
Minshew to stem.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The tide because we were bleeding at that point.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
But I think that at this stage we feel like
we are a better team all around. I would, and
we have more playmakers on a team. And then being
a year older, I think another year in the system,
guys are just that much more comfortable in both knicks
not in his first year. Again, he's you know, got
all the jitters out. I think that this team will
(30:26):
be markedly better, especially on offense. You know, I think
offensively we did did really well, especially considered we had
a rookie quarterback and everything.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
We had some we had some favorable matchups last year.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
We got to play Spencer Ratler on Thursday night when
the Saints were real in. We played a bad Falcons team.
We played the Raiders twice and they were reel in.
We got the Panthers, one of the worst teams in
football last year.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I mean we did get some some jenners.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I don't think we got too many of those this
year because we got to play the NFC East.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now you got the.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Giants, but beyond that, that's a tough schedule that they
got this year.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I don't say this did Jonathan Taylor play. I mean
that that was a look of the draw right that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
That doesn't. Don't Barber with the t bow game doesn't?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Right? But the PS two play, I can see that
happening because here you put the quarterback in a tough position.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Even though he had brought.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Bauers open, he decided, well, I'm gonna go for the touchdown.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And he didn't see PS two.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
That is a more likely play that could play out
again this season opposed to Jonathan Taylor. So so we
can say a lot of these games come down to
who can execute and the strategy of the coach, But
there is some luck involved. Sometimes you gotta have the
ball bounce in your way, go back.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
To can't city the game, but the football gods give
us and they take away.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Who thought that was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Nobody, exactly, Nobody like Eastwoot said, no bad, no bad.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
