Speaker 1 (00:00):
Benjamin Albright, Nick Ferguson, grat Smith here with you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You gotta turn your mic on.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I wasn't saying anything. I was trying to catch you singing.
He looks like you were about to.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Okay, No, I have my mic off for a reason.
I didn't want you to hear what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I wanted to hear I thought it might be important. No,
trust me, not important at all.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But usually that's what I say when whenever I say
anything and Grant's like, we just turned that microphone off.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I get right there trying to sponsor read there. I
was definitely not trying to do that A sponsor on
bct ah. Yeah, those would be nice there to dream
there to dream Sunday someday. I love uh, I love it.
Side jokes ls. You be a part of one someday.
You can't get any more inside.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Than that one.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Cody Rore gonna join us at seven o five. Obviously
we get to full shows most of the week. This
week is the Page League Baseball All Star Game going on,
so the Rockies are off. Did you like the new
format for the home run derby? No, it's so I'm
with you on that.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
How quick was that for an answer? Didn't beat around
the books?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It sucks. I think anybody liked you.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
They cut the broadcast, which was only on Netflix, cut
off in the middle of the interview with a champion.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Why.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I guess they were out of time. I don't know,
that's what I'm saying. Netflix was like, this is the alloted.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Amount we put into this, Like this was the six
o'clock window on the East coast and you had.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Six sixty minutes was pressed up against the game.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, man, that's what they has tuned in for.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's why they moved it from like the full letter
network to Netflix right to have more time.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I'm being facetious. I don't know why it cut
off at Netflix. You know, it just just shows why
they shouldn't have events like this. Sometimes Netflix wants to
be They don't want to do seasoned packages of sporting events.
They want to be like an event type deal. They
want to do like boxing events. You know, obviously the
home run Derby's an event. They want to do stuff
like that, And I don't know, trying to get into sports,
(02:04):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I mean, I'm already.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's already irritating that we have to have so many
different things too.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We've reinvented cable with.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
All the streaming services or whatever, and it's irritating that
we have to spend you know, two grand and subscription
fees to be able to watch everything.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Anyway, this is getting utterly ridiculous when it comes to
you know, sporting events. And I get it. We live
in a capitalistic society and everyone's trying to make money
and kind of capitalize off of their brand, and we're
talking about you know, sports leagues here, but things are
kind of getting so elevated that I think fans are
(02:38):
not going to really be able to afford a lot
of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because we've seen the NFL itself.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
When they have so many games on streaming services. In
order to watch that particular game, you have to have
the streaming service. Like we get Black Friday, right, we
have more games on Thanksgiving. So you're pushing fans into
a situation where you have to decide do you want
to watch a game on a streaming service featuring your
(03:07):
home team playing against an opponent, or do you want
to feed your kids?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and I you know, it's a tough call for me. Well,
you don't have any kids, so that call is not
that tough, right. That is the joke, sir. As far
as the rest of this go, I mean, it's about one.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Thousand dollars a season, excuse me, to be able to
stream everything. I mean, get Sunday Ticket, which is about
two hundred and forty dollars a season. If you bundle
it with YouTube's plan, which is eighty two dollars a month.
You got Amazon Prime Video if you want to watch
Thursday Football, that's fifteen bucks a month. Peacock for Sunday
(03:43):
Night Football that's eleven dollars a month. Netflix for the
Holiday Games twenty three dollars a month. Paramount plus for
CBS Local and Regional that's twelve dollars a month. YESPN
Plus for Monday Night Football has thirty dollars a month.
NFL Plus for the International Games fifteen dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They just and diamond you all the way up. And
it's just.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Frustrating, I think to a lot of fans and consumers
to have to pay that much to to try to
watch all these but.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
People keep watching. They do, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And that's why they keep doing.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's like it's like death by a thousand cuts, right,
because you're gonna watch it. You're gonna complain about it,
but you're gonna turn it on every single time. It's
just like when something happened in the NFL, everyone pulls
out their ethical meter. Oh I hate this, I wouldn't
do this. This is terrible. But guess what, you still
watch and they know it right, and the way that
(04:35):
they're the kind of piece milling this together. You ever
been on one of those budget airlines where you buy
a ticket it's like seventy nine dollars and then you
gotta pay.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
For air on the plane, you gotta pay for your seat. Yeah,
I mean, I'm like air, you gotta pay for a
seat belt, I pay for water. Yes, you gotta pay
for every single thing.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Like once upon a time when these things were guaranteed.
When the person comes and around with the cart.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
They give you the drinks whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Now they're charging you, right, they don't take cash anymore.
Now you got to use it. You have to use
the car. So this is kind of the way of
the world. And unless you get some kind of pushback, ben,
it's gonna stay this way.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh yeah, And that's how the NFL is gonna keep
doing this and the broadcasting the streamers are gonna keep
doing this until people stop paying for it. They're going
to maximize their their profit until you stop paying for it.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And what the NFL is going to do when they have.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Their broadcast partners, they're gonna say, you know what, if
you want this NFL game, right, I know the last
year you paid us two hundred and forty million, Right,
there's been.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Some The NFL is just absolutely keeps checking the prices
up on these streamers.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So the prices keep going up, so now they have
to pass those savings on to you, the customer.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, it's like the supply chain. Yeah, right, absolutely, the
supply chain. Yeah, and so that's how that works. I
didn't like the format. I didn't like it being on Netflix.
I basically didn't like anything about it. Honestly, A new
format did make for an interesting ending, it did, but
six straight home runs to win, and he did, and
that was pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's to me, it feels like the home run derby
should be ridiculously easy to do.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's a long ball competition.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Whoever, can jack the most out in a certain number
of pitches and be done with it. To me, it
just feels like it's super easy to do, and somehow
they find a way to complicated.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh this is baseball, when when you think think about it,
baseball is trying to make their game that much more interesting.
Because when I was talking to my kids the other
day and they say, man, don't take us a baseball
game because they look at as being boring.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Like my kids would rather watch like the World Cup
or dig this lacrosse, watch lacrosse. Yes, I've never watched lacrosse.
Sick what lacrosse?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Know that they would rather watch lacrosse than baseball.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Because they said that baseball is so long and there's
like a lay in, a delay in the action.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's like two and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, but every single game, you're not.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Getting guys at the play crushing hits. When I'm seeing
an eight to six game.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And you got two minutes in between every half innings, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
When I'm seeing that.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
But in soccer in the World Cup, instant action. Lacrosse
instant action. And this comes from a person who six
years ago, I didn't really like lacrosse. Hell, I didn't
even know what it was, right, be totally honest. But
now I watch it and it's like, dude, this is great.
This is hockey on grass, right, And I would prefer
(07:34):
to watch hockey then some baseball games because sometimes, let's
be totally.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Honest, other than the All Star Game of Home.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Run Derby, some baseball games could be boring as hell,
unless unless you would just solely going to the park
to get your drink on.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, get your drink about that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I've seen some stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yes, I enjoy a refreshing lemon. I've seen people sit
next to me, you know, getting busy, you know, get busy.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Hold on, wait a minute, wait minute, let me rephrase that,
meaning getting that drink on.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Okay, I was like, I mean, because if they're getting
drink on it, getting.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Busy, those are two different things, often related.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yes, we're crowned.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We haven't played viral off that drink, which we've seen
a few people go viral off that, you know over
the years.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Grin, I know you've been to a lot of Rockies
game and I haven't been on that upper upper deck
where the cabanas are.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Have you been up there?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Not? In a couple of years. Okay, but it is
fun up there with the party deck. Yeah, okay, that's
what they called the party deck. That's what's called party deck.
They got cornhole, Realsh Burger.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Dollar Beers. Before the game was it always?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
We just called it bags when I was When I
was a kid, and the first time somebody totally.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You won't play corn hole, I was like, uh what,
I'm sorry, what is that? What?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
No, don't ask me that about story.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't think my parents would allow me to play. That's, uh,
such games.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I don't know what you're asking right now, but I
don't want any part of it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think it's always been called cornhole. I guess I
just I don't know. Yeah, I just remember being in
college or whatever the you know, yeah, because the bags
are full of corn right and in the hole right,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I wasn't introduced to corn hole until I got to
college to be definitely a white person game.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, because it wasn't you know, I didn't see a
lot of these cornhole little boxes or whatever you call
them in the hood.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I never saw that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What kind of games were you guys playing Back in
Knicks era, it was they ran a hoop down the
down the street and.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Hit it with a No.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We played uh hide and seek, yeah, term of spotlight
hide and seek.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, we played and played marbles, believe it or not.
Do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You know what my marbles or jacks?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Both?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yes? Did you play marbles?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And Jackson never played marble? Well, actually yes, with the
little things that you set down you kind of puts
a circle with Yeah, I do remember that. So we
didn't play marbles much. We did play jacks.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yes, So now we used to play because my mom
didn't want us to go too far and straight from
the house, so she would tell us, we need where
if we're going to play, we need to play close
to the house. And there were a lot of cars
that were parked, you know where we lived in the projects.
So we wanted to play football, right, so you know,
we would get a soda can because we didn't have football,
so that would be our football. And there was no
(10:23):
such things as out of bounds. You may end up
on the neighborshood, but that still counts.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was a readA football, yeah, yah, yeah, it was
a football. So when you say going for the fifty
to fifty ball, that was the really fifty was the car.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The car.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You said soda case. Now we used the two leaders.
We yellow water in there and use it, but we
never used cans. We used to like the two leader bottle.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now we never us No, we never used too many.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Somebody in the neighborhood got a nerf ball and then
it was over after that.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So see see there see there is a distinction between
where Ben grew up.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I'm talking about in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Got a nerf ball, then we could play football well
graded from the two leader to the nerve out.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, yeah, we would buy the soda can from the
cooking lady's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
House just to port a soda out, just so we
could use the cans.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Got a nerve football, empty canoe hundreds, great soda too.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
That's why you put a little rocks in it. Oh
that's it. I guess that's the least if you're worries
about safety in the hood. Uh maybe yeah, it's you know,
and well, yeah, you're right, that was the least thing
you have to worr because you hit that cow. Cow
that's got a car backfire. Somebody's sid doing fireworks.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh France, tune up and Bland the Spain's allowed one
Goldie entire World Cup so far, and if England wins
against Argentina.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Both my tickets will be good.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So Man six shutouts the most in the World Cup. Yeah,
that just that is they played great defense. They're they're
really good, really good soccer.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Team, and uh, France just looked kind of disjointed in
that second goal by Spain was some of the most beautiful.
Yeah football I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Passing, concision passing, and yeah, that's Spain would beat us
like thirty to nothing we played. We played such a
cake schedule, like not having at like five like five
I really don't I think they would just keep running
it up, especially with the.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Last president was calling them like a crappy country the
other day or something. Yeah, they would want to run
it up against us.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
If you were to after looking at Spain and how
they work well as a team, offense would be the
score goals and how well they played defense. If there
was what's to say a comparison in any sport, to
choose any sport team you want to like watching them
run their offense, what would you equate that to as
(12:45):
far as Spain, Yeah, they.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Run a posession offense.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
They possessed the ball and they'll take you know, judicial
shots on goal, but their possession based offense.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But what would you liking that too if they were
an NBA team or if.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The NFL think of the Alex Myth Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay, a lot of the dink and dunk.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You know, it's because it's dink and dunk passing possession
based offense.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So it's kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean, they can score, but it really is about
putting together lengthy drives, doing it in the small chunks,
you know, and moving the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Down the field.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's not a bunch of explosive shots from deep.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Or making it right, you know, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
See, I automatically thought that they remind me of Golden
State when Cairo Durant joined the team, because how free
flowing that the offense they had. They were willing to
distribute and they didn't make a difference who took the
last shot. You knew the shot was going to go in.
And when you think about, you know, team sports, it's
all about sharing the ball. Like I think about the
(13:40):
Colorado Avalanche, how well they share the puck. A lot
of teams don't share the puck like that and don't
skate that way and play the way that the Avalanche plays.
So that's kind of what I think about when I'm
watching Spain play.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to like it
past because I don't think Golden State's exact. I get
where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm just trying to think of the exact maybe like
the Showtime Lakers in the day, they have their superstars,
but yeah, everybody's good and everybody touches.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The ball right. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
There's something like, you know, I'm trying to think, like
what something that a team that I could think of
that really encapsulates it.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It probably the Sloan Jazz at the end of the day.
I know, Carl Malone was like the headliner there. They
ate up a lot of the clock. They had a
bunch of guys who could shoot, they could distribute, a
bunch of guys could distribute, you know, because the Jazz
played with like three point guards.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
When you played with Stockton Hornseac.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And Byron Russell, all three of them could basically play
the point. Yes, make all three of them to play
the point. And so then you had, you know, so
they had. They have a bunch of guys that are innerchainble.
Their whole their whole philosophy is there's the believe or not.
It's the triangle. But they don't play like the triangle
in the NBA. It's a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So, well, it's sharing sharing the ball.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're right, right, because you're moving the ball around and
you're making it really difficult on the defense to really
isolate and say, well we're going to stop this particular player.
And the way that and we talked about it before
this game today against France, the way that Spain plays defense,
I mean, they're gonna force you to make a mistake
because they're gonna put a lot of pressure on you.
(15:09):
And it reminds me also of what we saw of
the Broncos defense in Super Bowl fifty, Right, forcing teams
to make mistakes because your guys know exactly where they
need to be and they know how to press the
right buttons, and every single guy are on the same
they're on the same page.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
So I mean, look, I.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Didn't choose France in this particular, I mean Spain in
this game. I wanted to see France and in England play.
But if Argentina finds a way to win this game
again to England, that's gonna be an interesting World Cup
for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, I think both of them are could be interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Argentina's had a pretty soft schedule thus far, but then
got some questionable calls. But they do have MESSI they
do have some some players. England I think is a
better team across the board. Maybe it doesn't have you know,
it doesn't have a Messy on there. I mean you
get Kane obviously, but Ain and Bellingham are pretty damn good,
as I say they are. They've got a pretty I
think they're a better team than Argentina.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
We'll see. I think that the England Spain in terms.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Of constrasting styles is also an interesting matchup, you know,
overall as well, So we'll see. I'm just excited that
it's two high quality teams in the final. Yeah, Like,
I'm from Morocco and Cape Verde no pretty good. Well
cape Verde, I mean they had a forty two year
old electrician playing goalie, right, they didn't. I don't think
they won a single game in the tournament, but they
played enough draws that they got in and whist.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Everybody's darling. And they took.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Argentina though to you know, extra time, the extra time
with probably the goal of the of the tournament to
get there.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So yeah, I don't know. Well, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
A winner of the England Argentina game tomorrow the final
of course on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And so that the one thing I will say about that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
It was interesting watching people on Twitter just grousing about
the time these matches are played. Guys, all these teams
are are basically in a different time time zones. He's
lying up for prime time back home for them, just
because it's middle of the day for us.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Why do they care if it's prime time for us,
We're not in it, all these people on Twitter is
a bad time of the game? Well, back home, it's
you know, well.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay, So this is what you run into when you
have you know, matches or games in different countries, uh,
the whole country, especially if it's you know, across the pond.
Obviously you got to stay up to three or four
in the morning, be late for work, just to see
if your team is going to win games. But that's
just kind of the cost of doing businesses.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
This over here.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
There's no different than if it was held in Munich, Germany,
and the US kind of got to the semifinals. We're
gonna be watching it no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Time is on.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Damn, we're never gonna make to the semi finals, so
we don't have to worry about why.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You got to cush dreams. Man, you just got a cuss.
I know the US has been trying to do it
for thirty years and and he've only gotten been so far.
But I'm just trying to use projection.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I thought Gray was supposed to be optimst I'm supposed
to be the pessimist. What happened? I don't know that
performance against Belgium happened.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hash hashed that America CHRISTI polistic.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We gotta hit a break Broncos Country Night backup for
this one.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
By the way, Nick on the text line seven to
Us says you're one of his favorite Broncos.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Oh well, I would say I appreciate that you said
you're the man.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I grew up in the projects too.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
A lot of talent comes out of the projects, and
God bless you're one of my favorite Broncos.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, you know what, it's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I appreciate that, and you know how parents today are
paying for their kids to go to these elite trainers
to get them prepared for sports.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
We had what we call WoT Olympics.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Like when you had a ball or baseball or whatever frisbee,
it goes into a neighbor's yard and that neighbor had
like a pit bull in this yard and you just
stand in there and figure out which one of us
was gonna go get it. Yes, we had to go run,
paper says to see who was gonna jump over the fence.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And some was like you know that scene from the
movie sand Lot. Yeah, yes, it was.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Just that, and you had to run with speed to
go retrieve that item.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But you had to sneak in Brett.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That was the You also learned how to row Schambeau
pretty pretty good because people had little tricks that they
would try to.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Drag it out and win, you know those tins. You
learn how to do that stuff, uh pretty quickly. But yeah,
that was yeah. Oh yeah, I'm somebody's pit bull got
my ankle one time. That was that was fun.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Let's see here, super Bowl realistic expectation for the Broncos
this season. I mean I think it is. Obviously they're
loaded up for it. We got the AFC Championship game
last year, probably would have made the Super Bowl if
bo had been healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But every year is different.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
We got some breaks last year with certain quarterbacks got hurt,
more available, and those teams kind of fell off made
it easier. Obviously, the Chargers basically were playing like their
third string offensive line. Is is it realistic to start
penciling them in or is this you know? I mean,
I think they're a contender. I do think it's realistic contender.
I don't know about favorite.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Well, I don't want to go as far as to
say a favorite, but yeah, you can definitely pissle them
in because when you look around the league and all
thirty two teams, which team was able to bring back
some of their same roster and.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
That would be the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Now, does that guarantee that the Broncos are going to
have the same level of success and twenty twenty six
as in twenty twenty five. The idea is that, yeah,
that should be the mindset, but you can never guarantee
that because think about some of the things that happened
last season other than both getting injured at the worst
possible time. The Broncos, for the most part, they were
(20:36):
healthy on both sides of the ball. You lost Brandon Jones,
but then you have PJ. Lone step in for a
couple of games. Not quite what you expected from Brandon Jones,
but he fit in well with what Van Chose wanted
to do based on his skill set and how long
he's been here.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But that's what you have to hope.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
You have to hope that the Broncos are going to
be as healthy in twenty twenty six as they were
in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Which begs the question, and the text line just brought
it up. Will teams target Bonix's ankle this year?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Wait? Wait, you know you are you?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Are you suggesting knowing the story the story line?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Shall I say? Are you suggesting that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'm the text line is suggesting it? I'm asking the
question for the text line. Do you think teams will
target Bonix's ankle?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Hell? Yes, come on, let's be telling honest.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Okay, forts transparency and the injury report, you not only
get the detailed information of what body part is injured,
how it's injured, Yes, strain pull doubtful out questionable, right,
So I'm not saying that there's going to be some
coach who's going to say, here.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is where the player's injury is.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
And oh, by the way, if you just will happen
to fall trip on this part of his body, no
one's gonna really hold it against you, right. And I
know there is history Drag Williams got in trouble, you know,
being a member of the Saints with this whole bounty
guy type situation.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But we all know. I can tell you as a.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Player, you get the injury report.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Now, I'm not saying that you specifically go after a
particular injury, but a little history here.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Ben, you know it in the back of your mind. Well, okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
That if this story might change your perspective of me,
or even Grant's perspective.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Of me, but I'm gonna tell it anyway.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Young Nick Ferguson playing for Bill Parcell New York Jets,
we get the injury report.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Were playing Chicago Bears.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
We knew that one of their running backs had injured
his hand and the week prior, and it's it's a
wet game, inclement weather, so you know when the weather's bad,
ye know that's right. So I said, ball, wet hand, bandage,
pull at it right?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I didn't even want to tell me that. And was
I doing something wrong by pulling out a hand that
had a bandage on it? Hell, no, you're playing the game.
It did change my opinion if you Nick Well, I went, yeah, well,
I'll just tell this guy's fracture his hand.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'm just yaking on im. Yes, And it was a
guy who I knew because I had spent some time
in Chicago. That was when George Peyton was there, when
he was with the Chicago Bears personnel. But what was
I wrong for doing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now? I mean ethically you have to decide that on
your own. By the rules, you weren't wrong. I mean
ethnically I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yes, you're on the field, your hand is bandage, and
his inclement weather.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm trying to win the game. Yeah should I should?
I just think, oh, it will be nice to his
hand because it's hurting him. He's got an awey, I'm.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Man, I'm punching.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm ripping at that.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Hand everything every Yes, he is.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
That's all I needed to know, New York. Yes, that's
all I needed to know.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, that's that is one thing I do worry about
a little bit is teams targeting his ankle because that's
been a storyline this all season. Everybody knows about it,
everybody knows about the previous surgeries, everybody knows about him
having to go back in have a little extra work done.
So that's one of those things where I do worry
about that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Well I can.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Understand why because let's just say a guy has him
in the grass, and you know Bo Nixon is very elusive,
he gets away and he's just say that guy swipes
at his foot.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Now, there's nothing milicious behind that he is.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
We've seen many guys swipe back quarterbacks feet, running backs feet.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But someone could actually look at that and say, well, was.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
There some intent that it was coached into players to
do this. I'm not suggesting that anyone does do this,
you know, and I'm a every malicious way, but this
is this is football, right and we know that a
guy can get hurt at a moment's notice. But that
is something to be aware of and to definitely consider.
(25:11):
So we just have to be on the lookout ben
every single time that the pocket is muddy.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What are those defensive linemen doing well, not just that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
When he gets out the opening takes off, you know
he's gonna have to get down. He's gonna have to
make business decisions and get down and not allow people
the opportunity to do stuff like that, because you know,
if they tackle them, there's gonna be a twist.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You know there's gonna be I mean, there he.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Is, especially if you are taught to twist, like I
learned how to tackle on my own, Almost like watching
one of those alligators or crocodiles on the Serengetti when
you when you get one of those will tobat you
just clamp on it and you twist. Yes, and well,
once again, we know how the league is gonna Well,
let me back for a second. It's gonna be interesting
(25:52):
to see how the league actually look look at this,
because remember the league changed the rules as far as
this added gets penalty for drop.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Tackles, drop tackles, Right, So, how how.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Are you gonna look at that? Was that a drop tackle?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Or was that a guy engaging and bringing down an
opponent trying to prevent them from getting yack yards?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Right? Was he was he? Was he tackling him? Or
was he trying to twist the ankle and okay.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
So was he tackling him or as we would say,
bagging hook.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Was he tackling?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, yeah, there's a difference between the tackling or.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
That's something we'll have to keep We'll keep our eye
on this this year.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's just one of those things that's a little concerning
to me.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is I you know this sitting there in the back
of my mind, like teams are going to be targeted,
targeting that with bow. So he's gonna have to make
some business decisions this year. I also like to see
him run a little less. Uh maybe, Davis Webb, you
want to run less.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I want him to.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I want the threat of the run to be there,
but I want to be handing the ball off. I want,
I want, I want, I want the running backs for
a little more.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know about that, dog.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I'm just I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm just saying I don't know. I'd like to make
a Super Bowl and not have him.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Then that means you're telling me that the offensive line
is going to be able to stop in me the
penetration so he doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You would hope there's a song lyric about this that's
not really give me a lot of confidence, give me
a lot of you know what. As Nicer saying about
lebron Jay, I have a mixed mixed thoughts about that.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
They don't even play R Kelly around their wives, and
I'm like why, and I'm like, well, you know the story.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I'm like, good music is good music.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I guarantee every one of their wives was listening to
R Kelly when that song came out.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Of course, but the whole idea is like, no, you
can't listen to it now. I'm not shutting off a
certain level of creativity.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are you separating the art from the artist? Always? Yes, okay,
you have to. I mean you kind of do. Well.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
If that's the case, then I'll never listen to another
Biggie song ever. Why well, I mean, if I if
I live by that call, because Sean Comes is attached
to it, right, and I'm like, wow, I'm listening to
I'm not listening to anyway, but I'm listening to Biggie
And then.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I'm listening to and Pie. You know, I'm not thered.
He was kind of whack dude. Like, to be honest,
I always thought he was kind of, I really did.
I always thought he was kind of whack. Well, Puffy
has a song with uh. I think Nicole.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I can't remember arsing her. Okay, there you go from
the pussy Cat Dolls.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You know, she was the basist for Days of the
New for a minute there, Bassis. Yeah, she played bass
for Days of the New. So if you don't know
who that is, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Grant mic but.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's that's dope.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Though, never heard of him for like for like three weeks.
She was the basis for Days of the New before
way before the pussy Cat Dolls and all that.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Either way, they have a song, right, I listened to
it all the time, right, I separate the song and
a creativity from the artist, yes, okay, yes, I'm not
shutting down stuff all right.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I still can't listen to Kanye though, everything after like
eight o eight, like, na, Kanye, what a garbage shem bean,
But what a great artist.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Kanye, right right? Call it the dropout. Yeah, all the
way up to like.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Eight o ways, everything after that, like their life of
Pablo was kind of that was lame, Like there were
people trying to try to be on a whims.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
A song with jay Z that I can't say the
name of.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yes, the the one in Paris, the one in Paris.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's all you need to know.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Even some of the letters and our system are replaced
by asterix. Oh my goodness. I mean to be fair.
You go back and you look at some of the
artists that people just do growing up. We were terrible
people too. Back in the seventies. You didn't have the
internet to put it.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
All on blast on times. What Allen movies?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yes, you know, Elvis Presley was al was persona when
the like fourteen.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I'm like, man, don't try to be as ethical with
certain things like this when you don't have ethics in
your entire life.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I'll just keep it consistent, like if you're not gonna
if you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Ethical air quotes about one thing, you gotta about all
that stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yes, cool man, we got soil.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Every time I hear R Kelly, I think of the
Chappelle show Skip oh every time, every single time, and
the video with it He's got the Chocolate.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I was like, oh my god, you gotta think about that.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Skit probably pushed more people to become R. Kelly's fans
because of the skid itself.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't know. That was like the height of him
just getting found out.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
So I don't know, might have pushed people to figure out,
Oh he was really doing that.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Maybe he really is. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You know what he was digital they.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Could do anything? What even there? Hey, that trapped in
the coost that that was? That was brilliant.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I like that which won that one? Or the tom
cruise traps in the closet South Park.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Now I'm telling about the.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Y Yeah likes in it.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Yeah, it was like this was like going melodrama extended
extended version.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
R Kelly is still in prison, right, I think he's out,
isn't he?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I don't know. I think he's still in there.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
We should know this. This feels like something we should know.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
No, he's still.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
He may actually he's not. H he's still in prison.
He's seeking clemency from Prisident Trump.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
There you go until twenty forty five. Good Lloyd, My goodness.
Yeah he was sentenced to like twenty years or whatever
it was back in the day.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Now that's what child sex abuse and sex trafficking will
get you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh, something that happens. No, coming up next re Broncos
Country today,
Benjamin Albright, Nick Ferguson, grat Smith here with you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You gotta turn your mic on.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I wasn't saying anything. I was trying to catch you singing.
He looks like you were about to.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Okay, No, I have my mic off for a reason.
I didn't want you to hear what I was saying.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I wanted to hear I thought it might be important. No,
trust me, not important at all.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
But usually that's what I say when whenever I say
anything and Grant's like, we just turned that microphone off.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I get right there trying to sponsor read there. I
was definitely not trying to do that A sponsor on
bct ah. Yeah, those would be nice there to dream
there to dream Sunday someday. I love uh, I love it.
Side jokes ls. You be a part of one someday.
You can't get any more inside.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Than that one.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Cody Rore gonna join us at seven o five. Obviously
we get to full shows most of the week. This
week is the Page League Baseball All Star Game going on,
so the Rockies are off. Did you like the new
format for the home run derby? No, it's so I'm
with you on that.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
How quick was that for an answer? Didn't beat around
the books?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It sucks. I think anybody liked you.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
They cut the broadcast, which was only on Netflix, cut
off in the middle of the interview with a champion.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Why.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I guess they were out of time. I don't know,
that's what I'm saying. Netflix was like, this is the alloted.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Amount we put into this, Like this was the six
o'clock window on the East coast and you had.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Six sixty minutes was pressed up against the game.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, man, that's what they has tuned in for.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That's why they moved it from like the full letter
network to Netflix right to have more time.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I'm being facetious. I don't know why it cut
off at Netflix. You know, it just just shows why
they shouldn't have events like this. Sometimes Netflix wants to
be They don't want to do seasoned packages of sporting events.
They want to be like an event type deal. They
want to do like boxing events. You know, obviously the
home run Derby's an event. They want to do stuff
like that, And I don't know, trying to get into sports,
(02:04):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I mean, I'm already.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's already irritating that we have to have so many
different things too.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We've reinvented cable with.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
All the streaming services or whatever, and it's irritating that
we have to spend you know, two grand and subscription
fees to be able to watch everything.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Anyway, this is getting utterly ridiculous when it comes to
you know, sporting events. And I get it. We live
in a capitalistic society and everyone's trying to make money
and kind of capitalize off of their brand, and we're
talking about you know, sports leagues here, but things are
kind of getting so elevated that I think fans are
(02:38):
not going to really be able to afford a lot
of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because we've seen the NFL itself.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
When they have so many games on streaming services. In
order to watch that particular game, you have to have
the streaming service. Like we get Black Friday, right, we
have more games on Thanksgiving. So you're pushing fans into
a situation where you have to decide do you want
to watch a game on a streaming service featuring your
(03:07):
home team playing against an opponent, or do you want
to feed your kids?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and I you know, it's a tough call for me. Well,
you don't have any kids, so that call is not
that tough, right. That is the joke, sir. As far
as the rest of this go, I mean, it's about one.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Thousand dollars a season, excuse me, to be able to
stream everything. I mean, get Sunday Ticket, which is about
two hundred and forty dollars a season. If you bundle
it with YouTube's plan, which is eighty two dollars a month.
You got Amazon Prime Video if you want to watch
Thursday Football, that's fifteen bucks a month. Peacock for Sunday
(03:43):
Night Football that's eleven dollars a month. Netflix for the
Holiday Games twenty three dollars a month. Paramount plus for
CBS Local and Regional that's twelve dollars a month. YESPN
Plus for Monday Night Football has thirty dollars a month.
NFL Plus for the International Games fifteen dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They just and diamond you all the way up. And
it's just.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Frustrating, I think to a lot of fans and consumers
to have to pay that much to to try to
watch all these but.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
People keep watching. They do, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And that's why they keep doing.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's like it's like death by a thousand cuts, right,
because you're gonna watch it. You're gonna complain about it,
but you're gonna turn it on every single time. It's
just like when something happened in the NFL, everyone pulls
out their ethical meter. Oh I hate this, I wouldn't
do this. This is terrible. But guess what, you still
watch and they know it right, and the way that
(04:35):
they're the kind of piece milling this together. You ever
been on one of those budget airlines where you buy
a ticket it's like seventy nine dollars and then you
gotta pay.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
For air on the plane, you gotta pay for your seat. Yeah,
I mean, I'm like air, you gotta pay for a
seat belt, I pay for water. Yes, you gotta pay
for every single thing.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Like once upon a time when these things were guaranteed.
When the person comes and around with the cart.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
They give you the drinks whatever.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Now they're charging you, right, they don't take cash anymore.
Now you got to use it. You have to use
the car. So this is kind of the way of
the world. And unless you get some kind of pushback, ben,
it's gonna stay this way.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh yeah, And that's how the NFL is gonna keep
doing this and the broadcasting the streamers are gonna keep
doing this until people stop paying for it. They're going
to maximize their their profit until you stop paying for it.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And what the NFL is going to do when they have.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Their broadcast partners, they're gonna say, you know what, if
you want this NFL game, right, I know the last
year you paid us two hundred and forty million, Right,
there's been.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Some The NFL is just absolutely keeps checking the prices
up on these streamers.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So the prices keep going up, so now they have
to pass those savings on to you, the customer.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, it's like the supply chain. Yeah, right, absolutely, the
supply chain. Yeah, and so that's how that works. I
didn't like the format. I didn't like it being on Netflix.
I basically didn't like anything about it. Honestly, A new
format did make for an interesting ending, it did, but
six straight home runs to win, and he did, and
that was pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's to me, it feels like the home run derby
should be ridiculously easy to do.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's a long ball competition.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Whoever, can jack the most out in a certain number
of pitches and be done with it. To me, it
just feels like it's super easy to do, and somehow
they find a way to complicated.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh this is baseball, when when you think think about it,
baseball is trying to make their game that much more interesting.
Because when I was talking to my kids the other
day and they say, man, don't take us a baseball
game because they look at as being boring.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Like my kids would rather watch like the World Cup
or dig this lacrosse, watch lacrosse. Yes, I've never watched lacrosse.
Sick what lacrosse?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Know that they would rather watch lacrosse than baseball.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Because they said that baseball is so long and there's
like a lay in, a delay in the action.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's like two and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, but every single game, you're not.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Getting guys at the play crushing hits. When I'm seeing
an eight to six game.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And you got two minutes in between every half innings, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
When I'm seeing that.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
But in soccer in the World Cup, instant action. Lacrosse
instant action. And this comes from a person who six
years ago, I didn't really like lacrosse. Hell, I didn't
even know what it was, right, be totally honest. But
now I watch it and it's like, dude, this is great.
This is hockey on grass, right, And I would prefer
(07:34):
to watch hockey then some baseball games because sometimes, let's
be totally.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Honest, other than the All Star Game of Home.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Run Derby, some baseball games could be boring as hell,
unless unless you would just solely going to the park
to get your drink on.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, get your drink about that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I've seen some stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yes, I enjoy a refreshing lemon. I've seen people sit
next to me, you know, getting busy, you know, get busy.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Hold on, wait a minute, wait minute, let me rephrase that,
meaning getting that drink on.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Okay, I was like, I mean, because if they're getting
drink on it, getting.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Busy, those are two different things, often related.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yes, we're crowned.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We haven't played viral off that drink, which we've seen
a few people go viral off that, you know over
the years.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Grin, I know you've been to a lot of Rockies
game and I haven't been on that upper upper deck
where the cabanas are.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Have you been up there?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Not? In a couple of years. Okay, but it is
fun up there with the party deck. Yeah, okay, that's
what they called the party deck. That's what's called party deck.
They got cornhole, Realsh Burger.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Dollar Beers. Before the game was it always?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
We just called it bags when I was When I
was a kid, and the first time somebody totally.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You won't play corn hole, I was like, uh what,
I'm sorry, what is that? What?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
No, don't ask me that about story.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't think my parents would allow me to play. That's, uh,
such games.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I don't know what you're asking right now, but I
don't want any part of it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think it's always been called cornhole. I guess I
just I don't know. Yeah, I just remember being in
college or whatever the you know, yeah, because the bags
are full of corn right and in the hole right,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I wasn't introduced to corn hole until I got to
college to be definitely a white person game.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, because it wasn't you know, I didn't see a
lot of these cornhole little boxes or whatever you call
them in the hood.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I never saw that.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What kind of games were you guys playing Back in
Knicks era, it was they ran a hoop down the
down the street and.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Hit it with a No.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We played uh hide and seek, yeah, term of spotlight
hide and seek.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, we played and played marbles, believe it or not.
Do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You know what my marbles or jacks?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Both?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yes? Did you play marbles?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And Jackson never played marble? Well, actually yes, with the
little things that you set down you kind of puts
a circle with Yeah, I do remember that. So we
didn't play marbles much. We did play jacks.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yes, So now we used to play because my mom
didn't want us to go too far and straight from
the house, so she would tell us, we need where
if we're going to play, we need to play close
to the house. And there were a lot of cars
that were parked, you know where we lived in the projects.
So we wanted to play football, right, so you know,
we would get a soda can because we didn't have football,
so that would be our football. And there was no
(10:23):
such things as out of bounds. You may end up
on the neighborshood, but that still counts.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was a readA football, yeah, yah, yeah, it was
a football. So when you say going for the fifty
to fifty ball, that was the really fifty was the car.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The car.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You said soda case. Now we used the two leaders.
We yellow water in there and use it, but we
never used cans. We used to like the two leader bottle.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Now we never us No, we never used too many.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Somebody in the neighborhood got a nerf ball and then
it was over after that.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So see see there see there is a distinction between
where Ben grew up.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I'm talking about in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Got a nerf ball, then we could play football well
graded from the two leader to the nerve out.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, yeah, we would buy the soda can from the
cooking lady's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
House just to port a soda out, just so we
could use the cans.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Got a nerve football, empty canoe hundreds, great soda too.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
That's why you put a little rocks in it. Oh
that's it. I guess that's the least if you're worries
about safety in the hood. Uh maybe yeah, it's you know,
and well, yeah, you're right, that was the least thing
you have to worr because you hit that cow. Cow
that's got a car backfire. Somebody's sid doing fireworks.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh France, tune up and Bland the Spain's allowed one
Goldie entire World Cup so far, and if England wins
against Argentina.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Both my tickets will be good.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So Man six shutouts the most in the World Cup. Yeah,
that just that is they played great defense. They're they're
really good, really good soccer.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Team, and uh, France just looked kind of disjointed in
that second goal by Spain was some of the most beautiful.
Yeah football I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Passing, concision passing, and yeah, that's Spain would beat us
like thirty to nothing we played. We played such a
cake schedule, like not having at like five like five
I really don't I think they would just keep running
it up, especially with the.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Last president was calling them like a crappy country the
other day or something. Yeah, they would want to run
it up against us.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
If you were to after looking at Spain and how
they work well as a team, offense would be the
score goals and how well they played defense. If there
was what's to say a comparison in any sport, to
choose any sport team you want to like watching them
run their offense, what would you equate that to as
(12:45):
far as Spain, Yeah, they.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Run a posession offense.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
They possessed the ball and they'll take you know, judicial
shots on goal, but their possession based offense.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
But what would you liking that too if they were
an NBA team or if.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The NFL think of the Alex Myth Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay, a lot of the dink and dunk.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You know, it's because it's dink and dunk passing possession
based offense.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So it's kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean, they can score, but it really is about
putting together lengthy drives, doing it in the small chunks,
you know, and moving the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Down the field.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's not a bunch of explosive shots from deep.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Or making it right, you know, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
See, I automatically thought that they remind me of Golden
State when Cairo Durant joined the team, because how free
flowing that the offense they had. They were willing to
distribute and they didn't make a difference who took the
last shot. You knew the shot was going to go in.
And when you think about, you know, team sports, it's
all about sharing the ball. Like I think about the
(13:40):
Colorado Avalanche, how well they share the puck. A lot
of teams don't share the puck like that and don't
skate that way and play the way that the Avalanche plays.
So that's kind of what I think about when I'm
watching Spain play.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to like it
past because I don't think Golden State's exact. I get
where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I'm just trying to think of the exact maybe like
the Showtime Lakers in the day, they have their superstars,
but yeah, everybody's good and everybody touches.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
The ball right. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
There's something like, you know, I'm trying to think, like
what something that a team that I could think of
that really encapsulates it.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It probably the Sloan Jazz at the end of the day.
I know, Carl Malone was like the headliner there. They
ate up a lot of the clock. They had a
bunch of guys who could shoot, they could distribute, a
bunch of guys could distribute, you know, because the Jazz
played with like three point guards.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
When you played with Stockton Hornseac.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And Byron Russell, all three of them could basically play
the point. Yes, make all three of them to play
the point. And so then you had, you know, so
they had. They have a bunch of guys that are innerchainble.
Their whole their whole philosophy is there's the believe or not.
It's the triangle. But they don't play like the triangle
in the NBA. It's a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So, well, it's sharing sharing the ball.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're right, right, because you're moving the ball around and
you're making it really difficult on the defense to really
isolate and say, well we're going to stop this particular player.
And the way that and we talked about it before
this game today against France, the way that Spain plays defense,
I mean, they're gonna force you to make a mistake
because they're gonna put a lot of pressure on you.
(15:09):
And it reminds me also of what we saw of
the Broncos defense in Super Bowl fifty, Right, forcing teams
to make mistakes because your guys know exactly where they
need to be and they know how to press the
right buttons, and every single guy are on the same
they're on the same page.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
So I mean, look, I.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Didn't choose France in this particular, I mean Spain in
this game. I wanted to see France and in England play.
But if Argentina finds a way to win this game
again to England, that's gonna be an interesting World Cup
for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, I think both of them are could be interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Argentina's had a pretty soft schedule thus far, but then
got some questionable calls. But they do have MESSI they
do have some some players. England I think is a
better team across the board. Maybe it doesn't have you know,
it doesn't have a Messy on there. I mean you
get Kane obviously, but Ain and Bellingham are pretty damn good,
as I say they are. They've got a pretty I
think they're a better team than Argentina.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
We'll see. I think that the England Spain in terms.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Of constrasting styles is also an interesting matchup, you know,
overall as well, So we'll see. I'm just excited that
it's two high quality teams in the final. Yeah, Like,
I'm from Morocco and Cape Verde no pretty good. Well
cape Verde, I mean they had a forty two year
old electrician playing goalie, right, they didn't. I don't think
they won a single game in the tournament, but they
played enough draws that they got in and whist.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Everybody's darling. And they took.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Argentina though to you know, extra time, the extra time
with probably the goal of the of the tournament to
get there.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So yeah, I don't know. Well, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
A winner of the England Argentina game tomorrow the final
of course on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And so that the one thing I will say about that.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
It was interesting watching people on Twitter just grousing about
the time these matches are played. Guys, all these teams
are are basically in a different time time zones. He's
lying up for prime time back home for them, just
because it's middle of the day for us.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Why do they care if it's prime time for us,
We're not in it, all these people on Twitter is
a bad time of the game? Well, back home, it's
you know, well.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Okay, So this is what you run into when you
have you know, matches or games in different countries, uh,
the whole country, especially if it's you know, across the pond.
Obviously you got to stay up to three or four
in the morning, be late for work, just to see
if your team is going to win games. But that's
just kind of the cost of doing businesses.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
This over here.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
There's no different than if it was held in Munich, Germany,
and the US kind of got to the semifinals. We're
gonna be watching it no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Time is on.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Damn, we're never gonna make to the semi finals, so
we don't have to worry about why.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You got to cush dreams. Man, you just got a cuss.
I know the US has been trying to do it
for thirty years and and he've only gotten been so far.
But I'm just trying to use projection.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I thought Gray was supposed to be optimst I'm supposed
to be the pessimist. What happened? I don't know that
performance against Belgium happened.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Hash hashed that America CHRISTI polistic.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We gotta hit a break Broncos Country Night backup for
this one.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
By the way, Nick on the text line seven to
Us says you're one of his favorite Broncos.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Oh well, I would say I appreciate that you said
you're the man.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I grew up in the projects too.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
A lot of talent comes out of the projects, and
God bless you're one of my favorite Broncos.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, you know what, it's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I appreciate that, and you know how parents today are
paying for their kids to go to these elite trainers
to get them prepared for sports.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
We had what we call WoT Olympics.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Like when you had a ball or baseball or whatever frisbee,
it goes into a neighbor's yard and that neighbor had
like a pit bull in this yard and you just
stand in there and figure out which one of us
was gonna go get it. Yes, we had to go run,
paper says to see who was gonna jump over the fence.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And some was like you know that scene from the
movie sand Lot. Yeah, yes, it was.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Just that, and you had to run with speed to
go retrieve that item.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But you had to sneak in Brett.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That was the You also learned how to row Schambeau
pretty pretty good because people had little tricks that they
would try to.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Drag it out and win, you know those tins. You
learn how to do that stuff, uh pretty quickly. But yeah,
that was yeah. Oh yeah, I'm somebody's pit bull got
my ankle one time. That was that was fun.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Let's see here, super Bowl realistic expectation for the Broncos
this season. I mean I think it is. Obviously they're
loaded up for it. We got the AFC Championship game
last year, probably would have made the Super Bowl if
bo had been healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
But every year is different.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
We got some breaks last year with certain quarterbacks got hurt,
more available, and those teams kind of fell off made
it easier. Obviously, the Chargers basically were playing like their
third string offensive line. Is is it realistic to start
penciling them in or is this you know? I mean,
I think they're a contender. I do think it's realistic contender.
I don't know about favorite.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Well, I don't want to go as far as to
say a favorite, but yeah, you can definitely pissle them
in because when you look around the league and all
thirty two teams, which team was able to bring back
some of their same roster and.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
That would be the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Now, does that guarantee that the Broncos are going to
have the same level of success and twenty twenty six
as in twenty twenty five. The idea is that, yeah,
that should be the mindset, but you can never guarantee
that because think about some of the things that happened
last season other than both getting injured at the worst
possible time. The Broncos, for the most part, they were
(20:36):
healthy on both sides of the ball. You lost Brandon Jones,
but then you have PJ. Lone step in for a
couple of games. Not quite what you expected from Brandon Jones,
but he fit in well with what Van Chose wanted
to do based on his skill set and how long
he's been here.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But that's what you have to hope.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
You have to hope that the Broncos are going to
be as healthy in twenty twenty six as they were
in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Which begs the question, and the text line just brought
it up. Will teams target Bonix's ankle this year?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Wait? Wait, you know you are you?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Are you suggesting knowing the story the story line?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Shall I say? Are you suggesting that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'm the text line is suggesting it? I'm asking the
question for the text line. Do you think teams will
target Bonix's ankle?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Hell? Yes, come on, let's be telling honest.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Okay, forts transparency and the injury report, you not only
get the detailed information of what body part is injured,
how it's injured, Yes, strain pull doubtful out questionable, right,
So I'm not saying that there's going to be some
coach who's going to say, here.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is where the player's injury is.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
And oh, by the way, if you just will happen
to fall trip on this part of his body, no
one's gonna really hold it against you, right. And I
know there is history Drag Williams got in trouble, you know,
being a member of the Saints with this whole bounty
guy type situation.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But we all know. I can tell you as a.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Player, you get the injury report.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Now, I'm not saying that you specifically go after a
particular injury, but a little history here.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Ben, you know it in the back of your mind. Well, okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
That if this story might change your perspective of me,
or even Grant's perspective.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Of me, but I'm gonna tell it anyway.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Young Nick Ferguson playing for Bill Parcell New York Jets,
we get the injury report.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Were playing Chicago Bears.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
We knew that one of their running backs had injured
his hand and the week prior, and it's it's a
wet game, inclement weather, so you know when the weather's bad,
ye know that's right. So I said, ball, wet hand, bandage,
pull at it right?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I didn't even want to tell me that. And was
I doing something wrong by pulling out a hand that
had a bandage on it? Hell, no, you're playing the game.
It did change my opinion if you Nick Well, I went, yeah, well,
I'll just tell this guy's fracture his hand.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'm just yaking on im. Yes, And it was a
guy who I knew because I had spent some time
in Chicago. That was when George Peyton was there, when
he was with the Chicago Bears personnel. But what was
I wrong for doing?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Now? I mean ethically you have to decide that on
your own. By the rules, you weren't wrong. I mean
ethnically I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yes, you're on the field, your hand is bandage, and
his inclement weather.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm trying to win the game. Yeah should I should?
I just think, oh, it will be nice to his
hand because it's hurting him. He's got an awey, I'm.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Man, I'm punching.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I'm ripping at that.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Hand everything every Yes, he is.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
That's all I needed to know, New York. Yes, that's
all I needed to know.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, that's that is one thing I do worry about
a little bit is teams targeting his ankle because that's
been a storyline this all season. Everybody knows about it,
everybody knows about the previous surgeries, everybody knows about him
having to go back in have a little extra work done.
So that's one of those things where I do worry
about that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Well I can.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Understand why because let's just say a guy has him
in the grass, and you know Bo Nixon is very elusive,
he gets away and he's just say that guy swipes
at his foot.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Now, there's nothing milicious behind that he is.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
We've seen many guys swipe back quarterbacks feet, running backs feet.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
But someone could actually look at that and say, well, was.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
There some intent that it was coached into players to
do this. I'm not suggesting that anyone does do this,
you know, and I'm a every malicious way, but this
is this is football, right and we know that a
guy can get hurt at a moment's notice. But that
is something to be aware of and to definitely consider.
(25:11):
So we just have to be on the lookout ben
every single time that the pocket is muddy.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What are those defensive linemen doing well, not just that.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
When he gets out the opening takes off, you know
he's gonna have to get down. He's gonna have to
make business decisions and get down and not allow people
the opportunity to do stuff like that, because you know,
if they tackle them, there's gonna be a twist.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You know there's gonna be I mean, there he.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Is, especially if you are taught to twist, like I
learned how to tackle on my own, Almost like watching
one of those alligators or crocodiles on the Serengetti when
you when you get one of those will tobat you
just clamp on it and you twist. Yes, and well,
once again, we know how the league is gonna Well,
let me back for a second. It's gonna be interesting
(25:52):
to see how the league actually look look at this,
because remember the league changed the rules as far as
this added gets penalty for drop.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Tackles, drop tackles, Right, So, how how.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Are you gonna look at that? Was that a drop tackle?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Or was that a guy engaging and bringing down an
opponent trying to prevent them from getting yack yards?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Right? Was he was he? Was he tackling him? Or
was he trying to twist the ankle and okay.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
So was he tackling him or as we would say,
bagging hook.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Was he tackling?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, yeah, there's a difference between the tackling or.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
That's something we'll have to keep We'll keep our eye
on this this year.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's just one of those things that's a little concerning
to me.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is I you know this sitting there in the back
of my mind, like teams are going to be targeted,
targeting that with bow. So he's gonna have to make
some business decisions this year. I also like to see
him run a little less. Uh maybe, Davis Webb, you
want to run less.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I want him to.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I want the threat of the run to be there,
but I want to be handing the ball off. I want,
I want, I want, I want the running backs for
a little more.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't know about that, dog.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I'm just I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm just saying I don't know. I'd like to make
a Super Bowl and not have him.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Then that means you're telling me that the offensive line
is going to be able to stop in me the
penetration so he doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You would hope there's a song lyric about this that's
not really give me a lot of confidence, give me
a lot of you know what. As Nicer saying about
lebron Jay, I have a mixed mixed thoughts about that.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
They don't even play R Kelly around their wives, and
I'm like why, and I'm like, well, you know the story.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I'm like, good music is good music.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I guarantee every one of their wives was listening to
R Kelly when that song came out.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Of course, but the whole idea is like, no, you
can't listen to it now. I'm not shutting off a
certain level of creativity.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are you separating the art from the artist? Always? Yes, okay,
you have to. I mean you kind of do. Well.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
If that's the case, then I'll never listen to another
Biggie song ever. Why well, I mean, if I if
I live by that call, because Sean Comes is attached
to it, right, and I'm like, wow, I'm listening to
I'm not listening to anyway, but I'm listening to Biggie
And then.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I'm listening to and Pie. You know, I'm not thered.
He was kind of whack dude. Like, to be honest,
I always thought he was kind of, I really did.
I always thought he was kind of whack. Well, Puffy
has a song with uh. I think Nicole.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I can't remember arsing her. Okay, there you go from
the pussy Cat Dolls.
