06-19-25 Hour 3 of Broncos Country Tonight with Romi Bean

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Real, three, says Nick, You are profound. I've heard treat

(00:02):
people as they want to be treated.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That's the only way to go.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Ben yep seven to two. Oh glad you guys are
on the night. Great show. Uh three or three? Ben,
your phenomenal sports talk host. Well thank you? That great.
You have to verify that one right here. Yeah, appreciate
you guys texting him. Let's go to the ka Common
Sparrel hotline and bring on our friend from CBS, romy

(00:26):
Bean Romey. How you doing this evening?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh? Well, I'm great to be on here with you.
Phenomenal sports talk gentlemen. That's what I'm feel in right now.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Wow, we have phenomenal guests. That's what makes the show.
We did get a request right here on the text side,
so I asked you about right off the top, it says, Ben,
can you ask Roby about speeding tickets and failure to appear,
obviously referring to Chor Sanders. Uh situation. I don't know
if you're familiar with that or not. Chador was cited
going one on one in a sixty and come to
find out, that was his second such offense in eleven days,
and he failed to show up to court for the

(00:55):
first one. Uh what do you how do you feel
about Shador Sanders first of all going fast in a pickup truck?
Second of all in that situation.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Uh, you know, I've always this is this is gonna
sound like so like old van, get off my lawn.
But I've just never understood, like why do you got
to go one hundred miles an hour? I I just why.
I don't know where you go and what do you
gotta do? Uh, But it's uh, you know, it brings
us an interesting situation. Like my first reaction is just
all right, whatever, Like you know, but I think if

(01:26):
you're a coach, and you're a head coach, and you
do have to think about all of these things, and
you know, at this point in in Sudure's career, he
really does have to be doing everything right. Like you look,
I was kind of talking about this is somebody in
it today and you look around the league and all
of the qbs out in the Star qbs, Jalen Hurts,
Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes' phone Nick, like all these guys

(01:47):
are are so you know, put together, You're not hearing
about any sort of really trouble from the qbs in
this league, and that has kind of become a standard
of quarterbacks in the NFL. So, uh, you know, I'm
not saying, oh my gosh, that's it. You know, he
can't have the job by any means, but as a quarterback,
everything is going to be scrutinized more and you are
the leader, and when you're fighting for a job, you

(02:08):
even have to be thinking about things like this. You
know that things that you know, it's at the end
of the world. But I do think it is something
that people are talking about and coaches, you know, consider
it a little bit of everything when you're talking about
a quarterback in the NFL these days.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
But ROMI don't you think that Around the NFL with
all thirty two teams, this is kind of one of
those cautious times of the year if you are a
GM or a coach, because when guys get away from
the organization, you have situations like this.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And I always thought, as a player kind of.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
You know, what's the best way do you think for
coaches to handle situations like this? Do you think it
would be best to say, hey, listen, here's a situation
with Shador Sanders.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
We need to make sure that we are not doing this.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
So, if you were a coach, coach Peyton, would you
how would you use this Shadore standard situation to make
sure that your rookies are now staying on up and up? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You know, I think sometimes it's the when you asked
me that, My first thought was Sean Payton talking about
Bonix on the field and he says he doesn't make
the same mistake twice. Right, You do it once, all right,
that was a mys but but don't do it again, right?
And then I think that becomes a message to your rookies.
If you're doing this more than once, you know that

(03:30):
that's a big consideration, right, the whole learning from your mistakes,
et cetera, et cetera. And so you know what did
I say? You know, for me wants shame on you?
For me twice's shame on me. So I think for
your for your rookies, it is a lesson. Look, first
of all, you guys, you got to be watching everything
you do this year. You gotta be smart, you know, period.

(03:52):
And then also if you're making mistakes more than once,
I think coaches do look at that differently. It is
scrutinized differently and that message haes have to be shared.
But you're fires.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Tykler romy Bean from CBS. I want to take a
moment to talk about the suddenly surging Rockies, not so
much tonight as they you know, they lost earlier today
on the late walk off home run, but Rockies winners
are four of their last five. Is there a sudden
turnaround for these Colorado Rockies to watch out now?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You know, I think that it's, first of all, it's
great to see these guys have some success, and it's
it's good to see you know, this is when you
see the success. This is what Warren Shaffer is kind
of hoping to build the team into, right, guys that
are stealing bags, guys that are making these really great
defensive plays. And you're just seeing that effort and that

(04:43):
enthusiasm and that life brought back kind of into the
into the clubhouse. And you know, it makes me think
I almost wonder if with I was always a fan
of Buddy Black, but maybe you know, he was just
kind of like, Okay, I got what I got and
I'm okay with it. And I think Warren Shaffer is
really pushing and to bring the best out of these
guys that he can, and you're seeing that little pieces

(05:04):
and efforts. And I looked at Michael Tolia, and you know,
he got sent down to the miners. Since he's come back,
he's been fantastic. I think he had six or seven
RBI in the series. He had three homers and two games.
And well, I guess there's two sides of this calling.
But I looked at it and totally was talking after
one of his games. It kind of felt like it

(05:26):
was a get right kind of assinement down in the minors.
And so I guess, on one hand, if you want
to be negative, Nancy, it's like what you've been in
the why do you need to get sent down kind
of kind of to get right mentally? I don't know.
But at the same token, I think you're seeing the results.
So that was a great decision to send him down
for a little bit. And he comes back from assignment.

(05:47):
He's playing really well and makes that great defensive play today.
So I think you're just seeing that energy and effort
that was missing a little bit. I think the Rockies
still are who they are, but to get out there
and compete and to even if it's just a this
little game stretch. This helps these guys as a young
team too. I mean, how many times have we heard,
like coaches say that you have to feel winning, you

(06:07):
gotta taste winning, so you gotta get a little taste
of it, and you know, I think helps them a
little bit. Look, it's what's the season going to be.
It's still not going to be a great one, but
you're seeing a little else as a promise, and I
think the potential that it could continue to build like
this is a nice hope for the rest of the season.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, speaking of hope, I mean this is a very
important year for the Denver Broncos as they had had
several guys on the defensive side of the ball, and
proper evaluation during the preseason for the regular season is
vital and important. How do you feel about the the
Broncos and the fact that they got two joint practices
want to get to San Francisco forty nine ers and another.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Here against Arizona car News.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
The reason why I ask you that Roman because we
all know that the NFL is eventually going to go
to eighteen games, and with eighteen games, that's going to
reduce amount of preseason games do you value the which
let me back up for Seve, what do you value
more the joint practices or the preseason games.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I feel like the joint practices. I mean, this might
be you know, I think everybody might feel different, but
I think that in joint practices you get practice different
things that maybe you don't want to show in games,
and honestly in games, especially in those preseason games for
seeing the starters for so little. I think that as
a whole, the guys that you're actually going to play
during the season get much more benefit out of a

(07:30):
joint practice. Aside from the fact that I think you're
just great for the players. You get so tired of
hitting the same guys throughout camp every single day. Now,
to have an opportunity to work against two different teams,
I think this can be hugely beneficial for teams also
trying to kind of get off to a little bit
of a quicker start even during the season, because you're
getting workshop things against two different teams, two different styles

(07:53):
of a team. Especially you look at the Niners and
the Cardinals, and so I've always felt like they get
more out of the joint practices, and even that heat
at tension. We always see some kerfuffle that I like
to call the bit joint practices, but I think the
starters get a lot more out of it. We just
don't see them that much in the pre actual preseason game.
So I love this that's going with multiple teams.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Tuvier Roby Bean from CBS Mandatory Mini Camp now has closed,
and we did see a few standouts in Mini camp.
I thought Hugh Robinson really was probably the more surprising
player out there the way he was just kind of everywhere.
It was interesting during the draft as a lot of
people sort of made fun of this draft class again,
and George Paydon, who has knocked it out the park

(08:37):
with his draft classes, looks like he might have gotten
another gem here in a later round in Kee Robinson.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah. Absolutely. And you know what's funny is at like first,
right after the draft, I had Jeff like all the
stann and on my show.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
And I asked him, like, who of this class might
be the.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Sleeper and he said Kew Robinson. So I'm like, oh, okay,
that guy studies the draft a lot more than I did,
So I'm gonna take his word for it and then
come to see in training camp or excuse me and
mini camp. We're just seeing this kid really pop. And
I know, of course we're going against air no pads on,
but to see him kind of stand out and shine
shine like that that early on makes me feel like

(09:18):
everybody who's high on him it is right for the
right reasons. He seems to have a great skill set.
It's looking like it's just a steal, and then you wonder, well,
why did nobody else take this guy? But coming from
the conference he played it in college too. Those guys
always seems like, you know, they can kind of make
that leap as well into the NFL, and it seems
like this might be a guy we're seeing more and

(09:39):
more of, which was pretty exciting.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Well, Romi, we had some breaking news and earlier this
week historic news where the Los Angeles Lakers were sold
for ten billion dollars and I know currently right now
the different nuggets and value at three point nine billion dollars.
How do you think this sale of the Lakers will
actually change how we look at sport and the dollars

(10:01):
and cents associated with sports.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Okay, first of all, I've been thinking about this ten
billions since the news broke like every I don't know,
five minutes, ten billion dollars. It's just you think about
three years ago the Broncos were sold for four point
six and it was a record sale, and now that
looks like a bargain, I mean, unbelievable. I do think
part of it is, do I think the next NBA

(10:26):
team gets sold for more? Not necessarily. I think there
are certain franchises, and the Lakers, for me, in the NBA,
the Lakers Celtics being those, a team, you know, a
New York team, Teams like that could certainly sell for
that much. But I don't I don't necessarily know if
the next team is then going to go for more

(10:46):
than ten. However, history says that that is what happens.
The Commanders went for six after the Broncos went for
four point six. And do I think this means an
NFL team could go for over ten? Well, it's probably
trending in that direction. So I think it does in
so many ways reset the market. I think back when
when the Dodgers were bought, was it like two billion

(11:08):
and was that?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Was that what it was?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
And it was like just it felt like this is
unbelievable and since then, we're just every year they seem
to one up it. And I think the Seahawks, for example,
that guy could see them going for maybe they're the
next one. Maybe it's eleven, just because it resets the market.
But this ten billion is just crazy to me. I
don't think it necessarily completely like resets the market. Again,

(11:34):
if you when we talk about the NBA with a
quote quote small market team, so let's say they were
to sell the Nuggets, they're not going to sell for
more than ten I just don't see that happening. So
I think it is. Some of it depends on the
brand and what it is, but I think in general
it just shows that sports teams are going to continue
to sell for just absolutely astronomical historical rates.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Every time talk of being from CBS, Yeah, I means
the story franchise. Obviously there's a value add for the
Lakers brand. If that ten billion dollar valuation feels almost
absurd when you look at the face of the Boston
Celtics selling for six point one billion, that's not even
finalized yet, that's still got to be voted on the
Board of governors, so that you know that's that's one
of those things where I. As soon as I saw

(12:18):
that number, I was like, oh my goodness, like the
sticker shock there, and the one person who has to
be licking their chops the most has got to be
Jerry Jones.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Right, Oh, Jerry's having the time. Yeah, might be thinking
about him. Wait a tick, if they do it for
ten bill, what can I do at the Cowboys? Because again,
you talk about that brand value, and certainly the Cowboys
are one that that absolutely come up. I also thought
this just felt so like in the ilk of the

(12:45):
Laker Celtics rivalry, Like the Seas go for six bills,
so they're like, okay, you know, Lakers like holding my beer.
It just felt just felt fitting for a Laker Celtics
rivalry for them to have to one up to them like that.
But yeah, Jerry Jones, of all the all the next
teams you think about, that could be the one that
could absolutely make another one that just makes us say,

(13:07):
what are we doing? Who has this money? Why was
I not board in one of these families? Guys?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I think that's the question that everyone is probably asking themselves.
But here's one question that we don't really have to
ask ourselves. So today, I guess two days ago, the
East Pain came out with this All quarter Century team
and there are four Broncos players.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I believe that's DeMarcus.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Where Brian Dawkins Champ Bailey are both on that list,
but Wade Phillips is on that list as well. So
I have to ask this question, do you believe that
Wade Phillips deserves and has earned a spot to be in.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
The Broncos Ring of Fame?

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I do now, I will be Anyone who knows me
knows that I am just I love Wade Phillips to
one of my favorite coach coaches of all time. I
think for me, the one that has always said out
about Wade Phillips is that he is able to He
kind of transcends age, if you will. A guy of
his age able to connect with every generation. That's not easy.

(14:12):
And I look at that and he was so impressive
with every team he's been on. He knows how to
relate to his players. He's just lets his players play ball,
you know, in so many ways if you will. It's
I found that like every time with Wade, and you
hear his players talk about him and they just he
lets them meet themselves and he kind of lets them
go out there and recavoc. Not to say they're not

(14:33):
a game plan, because of course there is, but you
look what he was. I guess you could argue that
the teams he had had supreme talent on defense, which
they certainly did. You could argue that he was terrible
as a head coach. So there are things against him.
But for me, what especially the way that he got

(14:53):
absolutely everything and more out of that Super Bowl fifty defense,
even the twenty fourteen defense. I would put weight in there,
but I'm a weight stand. I feel like I'm way
too biased a way into this conversation and I'm like,
yeah right away, but but like to be honest, if
you're gonna put Wade and you gotta put in you know,
Garrett Kubiak's gotta go in before Wait, so there's a line.

(15:15):
There's a line there. I don't know if you can
put it the DC before you can put in coops
for example.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, we'll get to work on that lot. Romy We
appreciate your time as always, romy Bean from CBS, appreciate
you guys. All right to take care o being our
good friend from CBS. We come back. We got an
NFL six pack is Nebroncos country and like there's an
epic beating in Game six of the NBA Finals, Pacers
up twenty seven. Well that let's get to an NFL

(15:43):
six pack. It's time for the NFL six pack.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I'm gonna train a lot year insight and insight.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Information you can't find anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
No.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Six the top six NFL headline. What as we touched
on early year.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Twenty four years after the Broncos christened their current stadium,
they're looking for a new one. According to the Denver Post,
the team is currently negotiating with Colorado Governor Jared Poulis
regarding the fifty eight acre property which previously served as
a rail yard Burnham Yard site. This after they have
bought up a bunch of property around the burnham Yard site.

(16:23):
The state plans to sell the site, which it purchased
four years ago, for fifty million dollars. Broncos are also
exploring other areas, including a thirty six acre Denver Water
campus located.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Close to Burnham Yard.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Does this mean that the Broncos are saying goodbye to
empower Field at Mile High and moving on.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Well, that's certainly within the realm.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Of possibility. It gives the negotiating leverage with that if not,
this is a real estate developmental development project for him
right now. I believe that the parcel that they bought
is a little small for what they're going to need,
so they'll have to acquire additional real estate, I think,
if they're actually going.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
To put a stadium there.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
But it certainly does give you some ociating leverage with
regard to whether or not you're going to keep the
current stadium.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't believe that it means that the Broncos ownership
is going to move the team to a different location,
but I will agree with you that it just makes
things a little more interesting and it grants them a
little freedom if they want to go in that particular direction.
But looking at where the stadium is right now, I mean,
it wouldn't it be great if it did have a

(17:25):
retractable roof.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
I've always said that that would.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
That's the one thing that the stadium is missing, because
now with the retractable roof, there's so many different events
that you can hold, similar to what Jerry Jones have
down there in Jerry World, where he spent almost a
I got think a billion dollars for that jumbo tron,
So we'll we'll.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
See what happens.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Would you be upset if they move to their psyche.
I mean they've also talked about Loan Tree.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Possibly. Does not bother me in the least. I do
not care, Like I know there are people that have
a sentimental attachment to know the current location in downtown. Honestly,
it might be the best thing ever if they moved
it out to something like Aurora, where you canna all
a bunch of land to build a bunch of parking
and all that kind of stuff and you can just
build up what you want round it. I don't care personally,
but you know, he's.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
In luxury of having so much money. The world is
yours wherever you want to have built it right two.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
With Chiefs receiver Rashi Rice in the news this week
for his comments about the team's offense and whether or
not he would be ready to go when the season starts.
Several have asked about the status of Rice's unresolved criminal
charges for last year's speed racing incident in Dallas. He
has yet to be suspended by the league, despite facing
eight felony charges. That's because the league won't take action

(18:38):
until the criminal case ends, and the case has not ended,
it's not clear when it will. Regardless, the league will
do nothing until it does. And while paid leave is
an option, the league has already decided not to use
it in Rice's case. New evidence could change the league's position. However,
nothing has changed yet to nothing has happened yet to

(18:58):
change the status quo. Do you know any more details
on the Rashi Rice case and do you think he
will be found guilty and suspended by the league when
the case ends?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yes, and I think he will even if the case
ended today, though the time required for the leagu's procedures
under the Personal Conduct Policy, would you know preclude that
you've got you need a hearing before Judge Sue Robinson.
There's a chance he goes all the way through twenty
twenty five before getting suspended. You know right now, it's
gonna take the court the guilties to get to get

(19:29):
all that done. But I do believe you're gonna be
found guilty on some of it, if not all.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
My question is why is it taking so long. We've
seen the video, we know it was him, him and
his boys. It doesn't take this loan to kind of
figure this out. And if I'm she Rice and can't
sy the chiefs, I wanted to make sure that this
happens more sooner than later.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I know Ben saying that maybe.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
This could happen after twenty twenty five season, but I mean,
let's just say that it doesn't. Let's say they try
to do it mid season. The idea is, if you
want to hit Rashid Rice to be, I'd rather have
him suspend it for the first half of the season
opposed to the back half of the season.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well, once again, what's taking so damn long? We all
saw the video.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
What kind of length of suspension are we looking at
for this? From where she read by depends, but I
think you're probably looking at a six to eight game type,
maybe even ten, just depending. But I had six to
eight to ten somewhere in there.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Three someone actually had the nerve to get into a
fistfight with former NFL running back Adrian Peterson over a
game of poker.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Via TMZ dot Com. It happened on May twenty seventh
in Houston, but apparently everything is resolved. Peterson told TMZ
dot com me and the guy were cool. We've known
each other. It was literally like a brother situation. We
agreed to disagree, we had our words, we threw our blows,
and that was it. I felt really bad, Peterson added,

(20:56):
as a situation where I kind.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Of regret it.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
What do you think about somebody trying to go to
fisticuffs with Adrian Peterson over a game of poker?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Stupid? And it's stupid that it got there. It's a
game of poker. Somebody obviously won, somebody obviously lost. If
nobody was was cheating, that what are we doing getting
the violence on something like that? Anyway, if you disappointed,
you lost a hand, or you didn't like the way
something was going, you use your words. Man, Uh, where
at what point you decided to fight Adrian Peterson? Or
what point Adrian Peterson decided to fight? Anybody? Who knows?

(21:26):
But yeah, I what what are we even doing here?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's funny that.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
How you described it is that, Hey, you know, this
is like my buddy, he's like my brother, and we
just kind of fighting over a poker game. We're all
good now. Look, me and my brothers used to scribe
when we were kids. But being grown.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Man, nah, come on, man, dog, I all got time
for that.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Forty years old.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
I mean, I'm not gonna get in a fist fight
with my brother a game.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Of car Oh no, it's it's so many things about
this situation are are so wrong in a bad look,
and I understand why AP is now saying, Okay, well,
he wished he did something different and would have never happened.
But just could you imagine two guys fighting, because when
you first said it, you say poker. The first thing
I was like, don't tell me he was fighting over Poltimon.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Now Peterson. Before he started dabbling poker, dabbled in fighting,
tried to get in the ring and do all that.
Knocked out by Leveon Bell see another formal running back.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Four linebacker CJ. Mosley is hanging up his cleats. Mosley
announced in a social media post on Thursday that is
retiring after ten seasons in the league. He said, I
spent my whole life in career building my legacy. Now
it's time to start a new chapter with new dreams.
He was once the number seventeen overall pick in the

(22:44):
twenty fourteen draft. Mosley had an immediate impact with the Ravens,
finishing the season number two in AP Defensive Rookie of
the Year voting. He was also selected to his first
bowl Pro Bowl and was a second team All Pro.
He played his first five seasons with Ravens be before
signing with the Jets as a free agent in twenty nineteen,

(23:04):
where he spent the rest of his career. In twenty
twenty four, Mosley was limited to just four games with
three starts due to a neck injury.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
How are you going to remember CJ.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Moseley's career, oh man, Just as a tough, physically imposing
sideline to sideline linebacker.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Ash that twenty twenty one season I think he had
with the Jets where he had something like one hundred
and seventy tackles. The dude was just everywhere. You know.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
He was a hard hitter.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
He caused a lot of fumbles the kids, So that's
not like ten caused fumbles in his career or something
like that. Twelve interceptions I remember correctly. Just a great,
great defensive player. I just didn't get enough run of
the post. He's only played three postseason games in his
entire career, all of them with Baltimore.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
For me, it's it's the longevity of the game, right
because as a physical game, playing a position that he
played to just have that ability to sustain in the
league for as long as he has. To me, I
remember that every player wants to play in the super Bowl,
but we all know that we don't get a chance to.
So you look to longevity and just kind of the

(24:08):
physical way that he played the game.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
That's how you want to be remembered.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
You want to make sure that other people remember you
in that same way, to know that every scene, every
time you touch the field, you brought your a game,
you put the hat on someone.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
So that's how I will remember him.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Yeah, nothing to sneeze at ten years in the NFL
without productivity, and I wonder if the neck injury had
something to do with him calling it quits.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh yeah, now, yes it did.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Five Chiefs tight end Travis Kelsey told reporters at mini
camp this week that it was was not a tough
decision for him to put off retirement and come back
to play in twenty twenty five. So Kelsey is famously
close with his quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes said on
Wednesday that he actually didn't discuss the tight ends playing

(24:53):
status with him early in the offseason. We never talked
about it, Mahomes said via Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride
dot Com.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think you have that in the back of your mind.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
I mean, for anybody that's played a lot of football seasons,
there's always a chance you have to put in the
work in the offseason. I think everybody wants to play
in the games, but putting the work in the off
season is where stuff gets strenuous. Mahomes added that he
feels like Kelsey was recalibrating after going through another long season,
but now Kelsey is clearly all in on trying to
win another Lombardi Trophy, He said, I think you all

(25:25):
can see it.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
He's ready to go.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
He's putting in the work this offseason and he's excited
for another chance to make a run at it. In
sixteen games last season, Kelsey caught ninety seven passes for
eight hundred and twenty three yards at in three touchdowns.
He had thirteen receptions for one hundred and seventy five
yards and a touchdown in three postseason games. Are you
surprised that Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes did not discuss

(25:50):
his future and if he was coming back to play
another year, and what are the realistic expectations for the
Chiefs this season.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I mean, you know, they're always going to be as
long as you got mahomes read, you're always gonna be
a competitive football team, period. I don't know. Kelsey looked
like a shell of himself last year for large portions
of the year. There were some couple of games where
he had where he played well, but most of the
year he just looked like a guy was the same guy.
I know after that Super Bowl loss, he was strongly
considering retirement, then ultimately changed his mind. You know, the

(26:19):
hunger comes back. You want to go, You want to
go out there and go out on top that kind
of thing. You know, he's lost some weight this year.
We'll see, We'll see how that affect him. Maybe he's
able to get a little bit more spring back in
his step. But he looked he looked much lesser than
the Travis Kelcey that we've known for years. Last year, Yeah, he.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Looked like that Teleswift relationship was weighing on it. Because
let's keep it a bug. And the Chiefs won the
Super Bowl against Philly. He was riding off into the sunset.
When you look at his statistics of that game, only
thirty nine yards, no touchdowns. He was just almost a
non factor. And then we heard well he was sick,
well that that was the reason that he didn't perform. Well,

(26:58):
the reason he's coming back is because he wants to get.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
That bitter taste out of his mouth.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
And Kansas City, as far as they're upside, obviously they're
always going to be in the mix. But the teams
in the AFC are all talented. Look at the Broncos roster.
Look at what the Charges did, look at what the
Raiders did. So there's gonna be some major challenges for
this Kansas City team. And I don't think they're gonna
run away with things like they've done in the past.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
You think this is Travis Kelsey's last year regardless, Yes, yes, yes,
I do.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Six.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's pretty adamant about that answer from both of you.
Final one.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Tom Brady has opened the Hall of Excellence at the
Fountain Blue in Las Vegas via Greg Bishop of SI
dot Com. Technically it opens tomorrow. It's a partnership between Brady,
the tom Brady family, collection, sportscaster Jim Gray, his wife,
Fran and the hotel. The Hall of Excellence will feature

(27:53):
histories elite entertainers, with items used or warned by Elvis
Presley and the Beatles. Jackie Robinson's bat from the season
when he broke the color barrier, the late Kobe Bryants
McDonald's all American gear, Billy Jean King's most iconic tennis dress,
a golf ball smacked by Tiger Woods and his first
Master's triumph, all of Tom Brady's Super Bowl rings, gloves

(28:15):
warned from Muhammad Ali's first bout, and shohey Otani's bat
from last season's World Series triumph. Actor Morgan Freeman will
provide the main voice for the venue, with Oprah Winfrey, Brady,
Jim Nance, Bob Costas, and many others including Snoop Dog
among the voices explaining various specific items. As Brady told Bishop,

(28:38):
a certain legend who shall remain name us called me
from his own exhibit and said, this is better than
the Hall of Fame. It is going to be thirty
five dollars a ticket, because excellence isn't free. What do
you think of Tom Brady's latest adventure.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I mean, you know, I imagine this, that's probably cool. But
are you paying thirty five bucks a pop to go
to something that's not the Hall of Fame to go
look at some gloves that did. I'll whether it's it's
not even a live guided toil, or it's just audio
for Morgan Freeman at the exhibits. I don't know that
I'm doing that. I don't really have a reason to
go to Las Vegas to do that, and I'm certainly
not spending the money to do that. That does not

(29:13):
something that appeals to me personally. I feel like this
is something they're putting a lot into but not gonna
get a lot out of. I doubt this thing last
two years.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
I might put thirty five dollars in it for the
first time, but it's not one of these things that
you have to continue to do it over and over again.
Because the first thing I didn't hear. I didn't hear
anything about food, right, you talked about Tom's rings.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Those not the real rings.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Those are rough because let's keep it one hundred, right,
But this is this seemed like it's one of those
places you go probably once but maybe not frequent all
of the time, but it would be a great tourist
attraction being as though it is in Vegas, where he
owns a portion of the.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Las Vegas Raiders.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
And I think it also helps that it's in Vegas
because people will be spending their money frivolously. Anyway, another
thirty five bucks, what's that to go see some cool stuff?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
And hear Morgan Freeman and Snoop Dogg talk about it?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Now do they have slot machines in his place?

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Say yeah, we got stuff like that. Everybody. I just
know that's not a destination thing. Like, I'm certainly not
going out of my way to do that. If I
if I happened to be in Vegas and I happened
to have some downtime and I want some money, then
I'm maybe I'm going to do something like that, and
you know, but I don't know. I mean, that's just
to me, that feels like something that is not going

(30:27):
to have broad appeal. I doubt that things still standing
in two years.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
What was the restaurant that they had where all these
movie stars kind of hard, no plan, plenty of Hollywood.
Remember that was hot for a moment then it fizzled out. Yep,
So I listen, I wish Tom all the best with this, uh,
you know, venture business venture if you want.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
To call it that.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
But thirty dollars to see some sports memorabilia, I'll do
it once.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
Is there any sports memorabilia that you would love to
have in your personal collection? Ben, I know you're not
a big fan of collecting sports memorabileya other than from movies.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, I collect fake sports memorabile. So I have an
autograph Jamie Fox jersey from any given Sunday I've got like,
like I would want. The one thing that I would
want would be the Keanu Reeves jersey from the Replacement.
That's the one piece to my collection that I would change.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Yeah, it's Ben strike me as though he would want
like a platinum album.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Freed, Green Day, Lincoln Park.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Like you collected all these non things. I mean that.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I mean that's to me, that's what it like. I
like to you know, I have a signed photo from
Profit from the Tin Cup, you know, like that, like
there's I've got that? You get this quirky to me?
I can't. I don't want to put another man's jersey
all but like they from the movie thing, it's just
sort of fun.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
What about a signed album from nickelbeck E.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Look at this photo. It's like, yeah, maybe I get
some boxing signed by Chris Brown. Oh wow, wow punching
back better.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah you need the police report.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, I just don't go like stuff like that. Rocos
Country Tonight rolls on Methis Glove left me up where
we belong.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I mean I could, but we will be the
