Speaker 2 (04:48):
Dolphins got absolutely boat raced by the Colts in Indy

five rushes, twenty seven yards. It was all kay Shan
Boudi had on offense for the Patriots. Six catches one

even though he was injured in that one. Five My
fantasy team on n three, Yeah, I drafted brock Bowers

to really do much. Marvin Harrison Junior five catches seventy
one yards and a touchdown. Trey McBride six catches sixty
one yards for the Cardinals. Rattler threw for two hundred
and fourteen but it was on forty six attempts. His
main target was Juwan Johnson eight receptions seventy six yards
and chrys Olave seven catches four fifty four yards. Devon

Speaker 1 (07:18):
In that game.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Steelers take it on the Jets in the battle of

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I picked the.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Packers to take on the Bills in the Super Bowl,
and I'm feeling real comfy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One right now.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Both Jayden Reed Antucker Craft caught touchdowns as well as
that Josh Jacobs run there for the Packers on the
Detroit line in sided things. New offensive coordinator former Broncos
receivers coach John Morton neutered that offense a little bit.
Jared Goff thirty nine attempts two or twenty five yards,
only one touchdown at a pick. They could not get
the run game going in that one. Dave Montgomery eleven
carries twenty five yards. Tremier Gibbs only nine carries nineteen yards.
(10:16):
Gibbs also caught ten balls for a mere thirty one
yards in that one. They've got to figure out how
to get a little bit more vertical there. In Detroit,
Texans take it on the LA Rams.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
First and ten.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Now you set it down from the thirteen yard line,
Brewed off the left side stack.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And puts this hip fire to the NZO. That's cost
that's a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (10:35):

into the game and being cleared of the concussion on
the Taxan side.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Not a great day for CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It may not have been the offensive coordator after all,
nineteen of twenty seven, only one hundred and eighty yards,
no touchdowns, in an interception. He did have five carries
for thirty two on the ground. Nick Chubb thirteen carries
sixty yards in that one Giants taking on the Commanders
him Morson Beado wheels around, takes a handoff, spins back
(11:29):
to the left, has a wall equivalent of the fifteen break.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The tackle of ten Cook hard lead touchdown, tuckdown Washington Tino.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Semon, Who love that call from Bram Weinstein With wb
ig and the Commanders still looking strong and the Russell
Wilson experiment in New York may not last very long, Well, it's.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Certainly gonna last this week. Brian Dabeles name Russ the
starter again.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Four week two.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Jadan Daniels nineteen to thirty two to thirty three in
a touchdown contributed sixty eight on the ground as well.
Boston Eckler six carries twenty six yards, three receptions thirty
one yards. Zach Hurtz caught a touchdown for the Commanders
as well. Russell Wilson seventeen at thirty seven only one
hundred and sixty eight yards and a quarterback rating of
fifty nine. In that he was also the leading rusher
for the Giants eight conories for forty four yards, no
(12:14):
touchdowns for the Giants in that one.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Ravens taking on the Bills.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
It'll be a thirty two yard attempt praterer.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
The veteran is.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Ready, Ferguson sends it back, Robins puts it down.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Prater's kick is all the way it is God and
up Bills win cup.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Fuffal all Bills pull them one out of the.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Fire, that Kyle courtesy of Chris Brown with w g
R and the game of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And how about that story for Matt Prater.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, how about that Prater was kicking field goals here
with Tim Tebow was quarterbacking.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's how long he's better on this league.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Josh Allen thirty three of forty six, three ninety four
through the air, two touchdowns contributed thirty on the ground
of two more touchdowns there as well. Lamar Jackson fourteen
to nineteen two h two touchdowns, seventy yards on a
touchdown on the ground. Derreck Henry, you could literally see
him stiff arm father.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Time into the face of the planet.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
He's went eighteen for a Bucks sixty nine and two
touchdowns as well. But a late fumble set things up
for the Buffalo Bills in that one. Some late game
clockbass management by the Ravens as well allowed the Buffalo
Bills to get away with that one that they did
as well. And then of course last night, Minnesota Vikings
taking on the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Shotguns Matt McCarthy, very rush fourth lines right.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Down the middle, caught in the end.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Zone by Jefferson.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh we threads the glow line.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Dry pass to be all pro receiver.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Free Archs deep down in the middle in the end zone.
Touchdown Vikings that.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Called courtesy of Westwood one and Kevin Harlan. And took
a while for JJ McCarthy to get going, but when
it mattered, he showed up.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, you know, it's funny, I invoked Tebow.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We're talking about Matt Prater, but you know, three worthless
quarters of football and then him rising from the dead
in the fourth is something that Tim Tebow knew a
little bit about when he was here at Dever. JJ
McCarthy finished his thirteen to twenty one to forty three,
two touchdowns and an interception. Jordan Mason led the rushing
attack for the Vikings, fifteen carries sixty eight yards. Aaron
Jones the other running back, the leading receiver for the
(14:15):
Vikings three receptions forty four yards and a touchdown on
three targets. Kayleb Williams the quarterback on the Bears side
of things, twenty one or thirty five two ten a touchdown,
started hot and faded lead. He was also the leading
rusher for the Bears six carries fifty eight yards, had
a touchdown there as well as passing touchdown went to
Roma Dunes six catches thirty seven yards, one touchdown for him.
DJ Moore three catches sixty eight yards for the Bears
(14:39):
was their leader. Tyrol Santos missed a field goal and
had that disastrous kick there at the end that did
not get through the end zone, allowing the Vikings to
take it out of the end zone.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Do you think he just can't kick it out of
the end zone.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, if that's the case, then all you have to
do is kick it short of the setup zone and
you get it's tacked on five yards. Did the field
position did not matter in this one?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That was one of those.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was just absolutely bizarre there at the endfield position
didn't matter. You either boot it out the back of
the end zone or just kick it out of bounce
and take the flag, and ultimately you're going to wind
up saving your team enough time to be able to
have about fifty seconds with no timeouts left forty five
seconds at worst to be able to try and complete
a comeback. Instead, they wound up with nine seconds and
absolutely no chance of it happening, and we all saw
what happened in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Vikings end up pulling that one out.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Appreciate you guys listening to Broncos Country Tonight. Colorado Rockies
Baseball coming up next right here on Kaway all.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Bright is alright, the long ball. Welcome to it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Broncos Country Tonight's post Rockies edition.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I got a little bit of stuff to get to.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Busy news day for the Denver Broncos obviously, I think
the big news is the preferred site for the stadium.
The new stadium has been announced. If you listen to KOA,
if you listen to the broadcast, then you know. In
the Broncos insider segment, we talked about this about a
month ago that this was coming, and the preferred news
(16:18):
site for the preferred site excuse me, for the new
stadium is the Burnham Yard. It's a state owned former
rail yard in West Denver. The Broncos had considered moving
out of the city, potentially to suburban Loan Tree, Aurora,
all those kinds of things, but this appears to be
the site. As they put out the presentation today, the
(16:41):
saying quote together, we're pleased to announce historic Burnham Yard
and the heart of Denver as the preferred site for
the world class retractable roof stadium, anchoring a dynamic mixed
use district. Once a vital rail yard that played a
key role at never's past, burnham Yard now represents a
transformational opportunity to reimagine the future with deeper respect for
the risk history of the area. The addition of the
(17:03):
retractable roof would obviously mark a significant change from the
current stadium. Many Broncos fans have always taken pride and
braving the snow and cold and in power field, but
a roof could make the stadium more attractive to large
events beyond football. Roof would allow Denver's games to be
played in the elements while maximizing both the around flexibility
of the stadium and its long term value to the community.
(17:24):
The team does plan to again use natural turf. The
Broncos have said that they have conceptual agreements to buy
the rail yard and twenty five acres of Denver Waters
campus near the property. Spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation,
which owns Burham Yard, said he didn't have any information
on the deal, but Governor Jerry Polus said he'd been
(17:46):
in talks with team otors Greg and Kerry Penerson's twenty
twenty two with a focus on Burnham Yard. Meanwhile, the
site of the current Broncos stadium would return to city
government's control in twenty thirty if the team moves, and
that's when the team lease expires, though it has the
option to extend it as needed. Mayor Mike Johnston said
the city will not spend any public dollars on the
(18:07):
stadium itself, and the team's owners similarly said that quote
in the spirit of trucadic partnership, they would privately fund
the stadium, but the city could fund infrastructure improvements around
the stadium, including reconstruction and reconfiguration of nearby road bridges,
as well as logistics.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And travel paths.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Governor Johnston and excuse me, Mayor Johnson, in a press
release today, said today's remarkable win, win win for Denver.
The Broncos are staying in Denver. We'll finally up put
up the historic Burnam Yard for development, and we get
to reimagine the mile high stadium side as the thriving
community in West Denver. The Walton Penner ownership Group's private
investment into building a world class stadium in the heart
of Denver will open new possibilities not just for Burnham Yard,
(18:51):
but across the city. The approach would be similar to
how the city has handled the planned National Women's Soccer
League stadium in South Denver, where the city is expected
to put seventy million toward roads, bridges, parks and more
for the neighborhood. It's just one major difference. The city
will own the land beneath the National Women's Soccer League site.
Broncos are expected to buy and retain ownership of Burnham Yard.
(19:15):
The Broncos noted that today's announcement was a meaningful checkpoint,
but added there's a long way to go and a
lot of work to do. Burnham Yard was previously owned
by Union Pacific Railroad, which sold it to the state
for fifty million dollars back in twenty twenty one. The
site is fifty eight acres, shaped like more or less
like a banana, and has historic railroad buildings. It's pretty
(19:38):
close to I twenty five and the nearest light rail
station would be the tenth and o Sage light rail station.
Companies tied to the team have been buying buildings in
the area, and that's been reported by Business Den for
quite some time. The team is also interested in acquiring
the property that belongs to Denver Water. To believe, we've
(19:58):
got an agreement on that as well. Making room for
a new Broncos stadium while keeping Denver Water whole has
been the subject of discussion and negotiation between the Broncos
and Denver Water for many months. The utility finished construction
on a new headquarters near Burnham in twenty nineteen. The headquarters,
which is known as its administration building, is going to
stay on the site, but the utility will need to
(20:20):
sell land and move buildings on the southern end of
its campus. Buildings that currently house Denver Waters operations and maintenance,
distribution trades, fleet meter shop, warehouse, and health clinic workers
all need to be relocated. The Broncos have agreed to
pay quote all costs necessary to fund Denver Water's relocation,
including but not limited to new property acquisitions, site prep
(20:42):
and construction. Funds from water rates will not be used
to move them. The cost of moving Denver Waters facilities
isn't totally clear, but they've already made moves on sites
at fortieth Avenue and Clayton Street over in North Denver,
as well as two smaller properties near the current and
planned stadium sites. City has been negotiating for months to
land the stadium. The mayor's administration has pushed for significant
(21:04):
new spending in the area. Two of the most expensive
projects in Mayor Johnson's Vibrant Denver Bond package or being
prioritized in part because of the Broncos interest in the area.
The infrastructure spending proposal includes nearly ninety million dollars to
remove part of the eighth Avenue Viaduct, turning it into
a surface street through the old rail yard. The proposal
also includes another fifty million for repairs, reconfiguration, and a
(21:27):
design for a future replacement of the sixth Avenue bridge,
which also crosses the rail yard. City officials note that
both bridges are in bad shape and would need work anyway.
Voters will weigh in on the overall spending plan in
the November election. Meanwhile, the team could put more than
four billion dollars into the stadium itself. The Denver Post
is reported for comparison so far. Stadium near Los Angeles
(21:50):
cost five and a half billion dollars to build and
serves as the home of the Rams and the Chargers.
It has a dome ceiling and normally has around seventy
thousand seats, although it's able to accommodate more than a
hundred one thousand for special events. Mercedes Benz Stadium in
Atlanta opened in twenty seventeen at the cost of one
point five billion. Broncos owners argue they need a new
stadium because its current facility is nearly thirty years old,
(22:12):
Appoint stadiums often undergo complete replacement or extensive renovation. The
team also cited the evolution of fan expectations and a
desire to create a year round business with a mixed
use district built around the stadium.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That mixed use.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
District could include restaurants, stores, hotels, housing offices, entertainment venues,
or the ambiguously named Dynamic public spaces. In the team
press release, Broncos current Stadium and power Field at Mile
High open back in two thousand and one, replaced Mile
High Stadium, which was built in nineteen forty eight, and
power Field cost about four hundred and one million dollars
(22:47):
to build, and seventy five percent of the construction was
funded by sales tax collected from two thousand and one
to twenty eleven from a six county area. The team
could also have tried to redevelop that site. He adopted
a master plan for the current stadium area back in
twenty nineteen, but the team's new owners did not pursue
that vision of a mixed use neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Current stadium needed.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
About seven hundred million dollars in investment to remain viable
for the next twenty five to thirty years per the
Broncos assessment, and said the city could now try to
bring new life to the empower field site in the future.
Burnham Yard obviously one of the last big undeveloped piece
of land in the city. Residents of Laoma Lincoln neighborhood
(23:31):
have hoped for decades to see it used for housing, retail,
park space, et CETERA. Longtime neighborhood organizer still a You,
said the city drafted a neighborhood plan back in twenty
ten out lining.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
These potential uses.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
The cities expected to bring a new local planning process
to support the stadium. Eltman of the stadium could come
with other mixed use development as well. The Broncos are
committed to a strong and inclusive community benefits agreement process
that will began immediately and will work hand in hand
with Denver City Council. The team said, You believes the
(24:05):
Broncos should stay in Denver and hopes that the community
gets the best deal possible. Just letting it sit there
is not the best use of the land because the
land is an industrial site and needs significant remediation. Whoever
develops it will need a lot of money, and obviously
the Broncos have that community organizer Andrea Burrella, which is
the Broncos had chosen to move to the Loan Tree.
(24:26):
West Denver has a long history of projects being dumped
on the community with that neighborhood input. She said, I
also think it's just wasteful to be building another stadium
and we have a perfectly fine stadium. It's because we
have new owners. She said that I feel like the
rich and elite get to do what they want and
our community pays for it. Well, the community's not paying
for this one, as the Walton Penner Group has made
it clear that they will be privately funding the entire stadium,
(24:49):
while the city may have some costs incurred due to
logistics and things like that. The Broncos obviously gowned by
the Walton Penner Group, which includes several members of the
Walmart Empire, Rob Walton, Greg Penner, Walt Better, et cetera,
former US Secretary of State, Count of Lisa Rice, investor
and local National Women's Soccer League co owner Melody Hobson,
(25:13):
British racing legend Lewis Hamilton. The Broncos obviously debut in
nineteen sixty here in Denver is one of the original
American Football League teams, joining the NFL back in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Team has won.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Three Super Bowls, most recently in twenty fifteen, and are
one to zero on the year after beating the Tennessee
Titans in their home opener. As far as the new
stadium goes, I think that this sounds like a win
win win for just about everybody. The fact that we're
not going to be using public funds, We're not going
to have to raise taxes for any of this, the
(25:48):
fact that the Denver Broncos get to stay in the
heart of Denver, and you know, this stadium, which wouldn't
open until at least twenty thirty one, obviously still has
a ways to go. But we're in the we're in
the crawl stage now, we have the site, sort of
the crawl stage now. Got several questions about all this
(26:10):
stuff today, multiple people asking me about, you know, things
like well PSLs uh and not referring to the abhorrent
drink that Ryan Edwards keeps trying to foist on me. Yes,
personal seat licenses are going to be a thing with
this stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'll just spoil that surprise.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now that is going to be a thing, So you
know there is there is cost that comes with this
to the fans. People have been asking about the roof.
We had a conversation with Demani Leitch earlier today and
he suggested what I had suggested on KOW when we
reported this originally, which was that while it will have
(26:50):
a retractable roof, the goal is to have that roof
open as much as possible, and that would be what
we would be looking at doing. So most games will
be played unless there's lightning in the area or it
is just absolutely dumping snow. I don't see too many
scenarios where that roof would be closed that or it's
you know, bitter cold, which we haven't really had too
(27:11):
too many of those. I think what two games in
the last fifteen years that would fall into that. So
those are the main Those are the main things. As is,
the Broncles will play at the current site until at
least twenty thirty. It just depends on how quickly it
takes for this to get done. From what I understand,
the stadium, they don't have a final stadium proposal yet,
(27:37):
so the idea of anybody telling you what the stadiums
will look like or any of that would just be false.
They do have a couple of concepts. Mostly they're shooting
for a stadium that will seat seventy to seventy five thousand,
which would be in line with where we're at right now.
Maybe a little light of where we are right now,
but not much. What else I'm trying to think of
(27:58):
all the questions that I was asked today, so I
can run down the list. What will happen with the
empower Field site, Well, it'll revert back to city control.
From what I understand, there's a possibility of selling that
office developmental land to have to have that stadium raised
and create an entertainment and residential district.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And then you would create a tunnel underneath the highway
going back over toward all the stuff that's back over
on the other side there, which would you know, would
connect the situation they're doing over there at Ball Arena,
you know. And the idea would be to create a
you know, a whole district there, a revenue and a
money maker for for taxpayers and for the city. So
(28:39):
from what I understand, that's the idea. Obviously there's things
to work out and all that, and plenty of time
to work out on all this. It's not something that's
going to complete at any time soon. Broncos players were
excited about it, however, when asked about it, like Patzertan
what it would lay like to play in a new stadium,
very bluntly said, look at that point of time, I
would be in or eleven of my time in the league.
(29:02):
So to give you an idea of how far off
that is, while it's twenty twenty five now on twenty
thirty one seems fairly close. In six years, it's still
a full six years out. And so that's you know,
a lot of the guys that are playing for the
Broncos now, if not all of them, would barely be
here anymore. So conceptually a great idea in terms of
(29:23):
asking those guys, but the reality is almost none of
them are ever going to play in that stadium, if
at all I do. I am curious what you guys
think about it. Obviously, that reporting had been done originally
here on KOA back in mid August, the Denver Post
putting out a formal report on that in print today,
(29:44):
with Parker Gabriel reporting on that I, in looking at this,
believe that that you know, they get the benefit of
the pr portion of this, which is that they're paying
for it. I think you'd have a tough sell trying
(30:06):
to get people in Denver to pay for a billionaire
stadium in this climate. We've sort of seen a shift
towards that in recent years. While there has been and
there are stadiums that are being financed with some public
money like in Cleveland, quite a bit of that not
the case in other places. You look at, for instance,
(30:30):
Chicago where their new stadium is going to be privately financed.
So FI in Los Angeles we talked about earlier, we
did not use public money, and so I think, you know,
there's there's a shift, there's sort of a populist rhetoric
shift into you know, why are we giving billionaires money?
They're billionaires, Let them, let them do it and then
we'll figure it out. Well, you know, that cost gets
(30:51):
passed on to the fans either any which way you
slice it. It is just exorbitant personal seat licenses fees
is you know, as a part of the way they
pay for that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
So don't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Secures from now when that comes down the pike that
you're you know you're paying for these exorbitent PSLs, and
and that's why had a few other news items I
wanted to get to super quick. I don't know if
you guys watched the game last night between the Vikings
(31:22):
and the Bears, but getting booed off the field in
your debut for coughing up a double digit lead is
not exactly exactly the way you want to you want
to do it. And that's what happened with Ben Johnson
there from the Bears after the final two minutes drew
(31:43):
the most heat on. Johnson's real error came about twenty
twenty game minutes earlier when he challenged the TJ.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hocketson fumbled it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
And then halfway through the third quarter, you know, Hockets
had caught a short pass roll and had the ball
punched out. It appeared in the moment and on replay
to have been down. Johnson challence anyway lost the time out,
and that time out would be significant later on.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
In the game.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Caleb Williams was kind of good until he wasn't connected
on every pass through the first quarter and a half,
but when he started missing, he started missing bad an
airball in the direction of Dj Moore late in the
fourth when Chicago was driving down ten. You know the
Bears are going to score thirty seconds later anyway, but
you know, at the time that looked like a thing.
(32:31):
There were several errors. The Bears scored left two o
two on the clock, so all they had to do
was kick it out of the end zone, and they
were getting a free time out back stoppage with the
two minute warning, and Johnson knew this and told Cayrol
Santos to kick the ball out of the back of
the end zone to prevent the clock from moving. Santos
(32:52):
came up about three yards short, Minnesota ran a ball
out and killed out just enough time to avoid having
to run a play before the two minute warning. The
Bears did force the three and out, but then they
only had nine seconds with which to act, instead of
about fifty seconds that they would have had to try
to get a field goal to tie it. You could
(33:13):
have just told Carol Santos to kick the ball straight
out of bounds, which would have given the Vikings only
five more yards of field. Positions started the forty instead
of the thirty five. So I don't know in this
era of we've got guys with big enough legs to
kick these sixty yard field goals, but we don't have
somebody who can just boot one out the back of
the end zone off the tee feels weird, and the
(33:35):
fact that that was not made impeccably clear to Santos seems.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Odd to me.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
But that's how it goes. Guys, listen to Broncos country
tonight right here on Kawa
A little bit of news coming in here.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I want to get you guys caught off on some

And just a fine for Jay and Carter.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Justifine for Carter, although actually they're terming it as a suspension.
He did not play a snap in that game, so
they're terming that as a suspension. A one game suspension,
but finding him as game check, which was the next.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Less of fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Philadelphia Eagles go off to win that game twenty four
to twenty. In a weel foot game by the Dallas

to start the season. What doesn't look like the real
deal is the Falcons kicking game. Is young Waku struggling

to be a game that was not as close as
anybody thought it was going to be the Dolphins.

It's Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
In that game.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Dolphins got absolutely boat raced by the Colts in Indy
in a game where Indy was only favored by one
and many thought Miami could win. Zach Wilson eventually came
on and replaced a very much struggling to a talk
about law Towards the end of that game, Panthers were
at the Jags.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Trevor's under center. Here we go for the nine yard line.

Boudi had on offense for the Patriots. Six catches one
hundred and three yards, all brock Bowers on the Raiders side,
even though he was injured in that one. Five My
fantasy team on n three, Yeah, I drafted brock Bowers
(06:32):
in like the first or second round, and every one
of my fantasy teams, so a little worried about that.
But overall, Raiders come in and grab that one. Twenty
to thirteen. How about them Arizona Cardinals taken on the

only one hundred and fifty yards through the air. They
tried to run the ball and fairly unsuccessfully. Charbona was
their best running back, Jackson Smith and ja But was
the only factor they had through the passing game. Nine receptions,

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I picked the.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Packers to take on the Bills in the Super Bowl,
and I'm feeling real comfy about that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One right now.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Both Jayden Reed Antucker Craft caught touchdowns as well as
that Josh Jacobs run there for the Packers on the
Detroit line in sided things. New offensive coordinator former Broncos
receivers coach John Morton neutered that offense a little bit.
Jared Goff thirty nine attempts two or twenty five yards,
only one touchdown at a pick. They could not get
the run game going in that one. Dave Montgomery eleven
carries twenty five yards. Tremier Gibbs only nine carries nineteen yards.
(10:16):
Gibbs also caught ten balls for a mere thirty one
yards in that one. They've got to figure out how
to get a little bit more vertical there. In Detroit,
Texans take it on the LA Rams.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
First and ten.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Now you set it down from the thirteen yard line,
Brewed off the left side stack.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And puts this hip fire to the NZO. That's cost
that's a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
David Allen going to the ground for.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The LA lead.
Speaker 4 (10:40):

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Concussion was bleeding from his head, wound up getting back
into the game and being cleared of the concussion on
the Taxan side.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Not a great day for CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It may not have been the offensive coordator after all,
nineteen of twenty seven, only one hundred and eighty yards,
no touchdowns, in an interception. He did have five carries
for thirty two on the ground. Nick Chubb thirteen carries
sixty yards in that one Giants taking on the Commanders
him Morson Beado wheels around, takes a handoff, spins back
(11:29):

Certainly gonna last this week. Brian Dabeles name Russ the
starter again.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Four week two.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Jadan Daniels nineteen to thirty two to thirty three in

Boston Eckler six carries twenty six yards, three receptions thirty
one yards. Zach Hurtz caught a touchdown for the Commanders
as well. Russell Wilson seventeen at thirty seven only one

Yeah, how about that Prater was kicking field goals here
with Tim Tebow was quarterbacking.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's how long he's better on this league.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Josh Allen thirty three of forty six, three ninety four
through the air, two touchdowns contributed thirty on the ground
of two more touchdowns there as well. Lamar Jackson fourteen
to nineteen two h two touchdowns, seventy yards on a

him stiff arm father.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Time into the face of the planet.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
He's went eighteen for a Bucks sixty nine and two
touchdowns as well. But a late fumble set things up
for the Buffalo Bills in that one. Some late game
clockbass management by the Ravens as well allowed the Buffalo
Bills to get away with that one that they did
as well. And then of course last night, Minnesota Vikings
taking on the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Shotguns Matt McCarthy, very rush fourth lines right.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Down the middle, caught in the end.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Zone by Jefferson.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh we threads the glow line.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Dry pass to be all pro receiver.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Free Archs deep down in the middle in the end zone.
Touchdown Vikings that.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Called courtesy of Westwood one and Kevin Harlan. And took
a while for JJ McCarthy to get going, but when
it mattered, he showed up.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, you know, it's funny, I invoked Tebow.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We're talking about Matt Prater, but you know, three worthless
quarters of football and then him rising from the dead
in the fourth is something that Tim Tebow knew a
little bit about when he was here at Dever. JJ
McCarthy finished his thirteen to twenty one to forty three,
two touchdowns and an interception. Jordan Mason led the rushing
attack for the Vikings, fifteen carries sixty eight yards. Aaron
Jones the other running back, the leading receiver for the
(14:15):
Vikings three receptions forty four yards and a touchdown on
three targets. Kayleb Williams the quarterback on the Bears side
of things, twenty one or thirty five two ten a touchdown,
started hot and faded lead. He was also the leading
rusher for the Bears six carries fifty eight yards, had
a touchdown there as well as passing touchdown went to
Roma Dunes six catches thirty seven yards, one touchdown for him.
DJ Moore three catches sixty eight yards for the Bears
(14:39):
was their leader. Tyrol Santos missed a field goal and
had that disastrous kick there at the end that did
not get through the end zone, allowing the Vikings to
take it out of the end zone.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Do you think he just can't kick it out of
the end zone.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, if that's the case, then all you have to
do is kick it short of the setup zone and
you get it's tacked on five yards. Did the field
position did not matter in this one?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That was one of those.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was just absolutely bizarre there at the endfield position
didn't matter. You either boot it out the back of
the end zone or just kick it out of bounce
and take the flag, and ultimately you're going to wind
up saving your team enough time to be able to
have about fifty seconds with no timeouts left forty five
seconds at worst to be able to try and complete
a comeback. Instead, they wound up with nine seconds and
absolutely no chance of it happening, and we all saw
what happened in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Vikings end up pulling that one out.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Appreciate you guys listening to Broncos Country Tonight. Colorado Rockies
Baseball coming up next right here on Kaway all.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Bright is alright, the long ball. Welcome to it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Broncos Country Tonight's post Rockies edition.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I got a little bit of stuff to get to.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Busy news day for the Denver Broncos obviously, I think
the big news is the preferred site for the stadium.
The new stadium has been announced. If you listen to KOA,
if you listen to the broadcast, then you know. In
the Broncos insider segment, we talked about this about a
month ago that this was coming, and the preferred news
(16:18):
site for the preferred site excuse me, for the new
stadium is the Burnham Yard. It's a state owned former
rail yard in West Denver. The Broncos had considered moving
out of the city, potentially to suburban Loan Tree, Aurora,
all those kinds of things, but this appears to be
the site. As they put out the presentation today, the
(16:41):
saying quote together, we're pleased to announce historic Burnham Yard
and the heart of Denver as the preferred site for
the world class retractable roof stadium, anchoring a dynamic mixed
use district. Once a vital rail yard that played a
key role at never's past, burnham Yard now represents a
transformational opportunity to reimagine the future with deeper respect for
the risk history of the area. The addition of the
(17:03):
retractable roof would obviously mark a significant change from the
current stadium. Many Broncos fans have always taken pride and
braving the snow and cold and in power field, but
a roof could make the stadium more attractive to large
events beyond football. Roof would allow Denver's games to be
played in the elements while maximizing both the around flexibility
of the stadium and its long term value to the community.
(17:24):
The team does plan to again use natural turf. The
Broncos have said that they have conceptual agreements to buy
the rail yard and twenty five acres of Denver Waters
campus near the property. Spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation,
which owns Burham Yard, said he didn't have any information
on the deal, but Governor Jerry Polus said he'd been
(17:46):
in talks with team otors Greg and Kerry Penerson's twenty
twenty two with a focus on Burnham Yard. Meanwhile, the
site of the current Broncos stadium would return to city
government's control in twenty thirty if the team moves, and
that's when the team lease expires, though it has the
option to extend it as needed. Mayor Mike Johnston said
the city will not spend any public dollars on the
(18:07):
stadium itself, and the team's owners similarly said that quote
in the spirit of trucadic partnership, they would privately fund
the stadium, but the city could fund infrastructure improvements around
the stadium, including reconstruction and reconfiguration of nearby road bridges,
as well as logistics.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And travel paths.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Governor Johnston and excuse me, Mayor Johnson, in a press
release today, said today's remarkable win, win win for Denver.
The Broncos are staying in Denver. We'll finally up put
up the historic Burnam Yard for development, and we get
to reimagine the mile high stadium side as the thriving
community in West Denver. The Walton Penner ownership Group's private
investment into building a world class stadium in the heart
of Denver will open new possibilities not just for Burnham Yard,
(18:51):
but across the city. The approach would be similar to
how the city has handled the planned National Women's Soccer
League stadium in South Denver, where the city is expected
to put seventy million toward roads, bridges, parks and more
for the neighborhood. It's just one major difference. The city
will own the land beneath the National Women's Soccer League site.
Broncos are expected to buy and retain ownership of Burnham Yard.
(19:15):
The Broncos noted that today's announcement was a meaningful checkpoint,
but added there's a long way to go and a
lot of work to do. Burnham Yard was previously owned
by Union Pacific Railroad, which sold it to the state
for fifty million dollars back in twenty twenty one. The
site is fifty eight acres, shaped like more or less
like a banana, and has historic railroad buildings. It's pretty
(19:38):
close to I twenty five and the nearest light rail
station would be the tenth and o Sage light rail station.
Companies tied to the team have been buying buildings in
the area, and that's been reported by Business Den for
quite some time. The team is also interested in acquiring
the property that belongs to Denver Water. To believe, we've
(19:58):
got an agreement on that as well. Making room for
a new Broncos stadium while keeping Denver Water whole has
been the subject of discussion and negotiation between the Broncos
and Denver Water for many months. The utility finished construction
on a new headquarters near Burnham in twenty nineteen. The headquarters,
which is known as its administration building, is going to
stay on the site, but the utility will need to
(20:20):
sell land and move buildings on the southern end of
its campus. Buildings that currently house Denver Waters operations and maintenance,
distribution trades, fleet meter shop, warehouse, and health clinic workers
all need to be relocated. The Broncos have agreed to
pay quote all costs necessary to fund Denver Water's relocation,
including but not limited to new property acquisitions, site prep
(20:42):
and construction. Funds from water rates will not be used
to move them. The cost of moving Denver Waters facilities
isn't totally clear, but they've already made moves on sites
at fortieth Avenue and Clayton Street over in North Denver,
as well as two smaller properties near the current and
planned stadium sites. City has been negotiating for months to
land the stadium. The mayor's administration has pushed for significant
(21:04):
new spending in the area. Two of the most expensive
projects in Mayor Johnson's Vibrant Denver Bond package or being
prioritized in part because of the Broncos interest in the area.
The infrastructure spending proposal includes nearly ninety million dollars to
remove part of the eighth Avenue Viaduct, turning it into
a surface street through the old rail yard. The proposal
also includes another fifty million for repairs, reconfiguration, and a
(21:27):
design for a future replacement of the sixth Avenue bridge,
which also crosses the rail yard. City officials note that
both bridges are in bad shape and would need work anyway.
Voters will weigh in on the overall spending plan in
the November election. Meanwhile, the team could put more than
four billion dollars into the stadium itself. The Denver Post
is reported for comparison so far. Stadium near Los Angeles
(21:50):
cost five and a half billion dollars to build and
serves as the home of the Rams and the Chargers.
It has a dome ceiling and normally has around seventy
thousand seats, although it's able to accommodate more than a
hundred one thousand for special events. Mercedes Benz Stadium in
Atlanta opened in twenty seventeen at the cost of one
point five billion. Broncos owners argue they need a new
stadium because its current facility is nearly thirty years old,
(22:12):
Appoint stadiums often undergo complete replacement or extensive renovation. The
team also cited the evolution of fan expectations and a
desire to create a year round business with a mixed
use district built around the stadium.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That mixed use.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
District could include restaurants, stores, hotels, housing offices, entertainment venues,
or the ambiguously named Dynamic public spaces. In the team
press release, Broncos current Stadium and power Field at Mile
High open back in two thousand and one, replaced Mile
High Stadium, which was built in nineteen forty eight, and
power Field cost about four hundred and one million dollars
(22:47):
to build, and seventy five percent of the construction was
funded by sales tax collected from two thousand and one
to twenty eleven from a six county area. The team
could also have tried to redevelop that site. He adopted
a master plan for the current stadium area back in
twenty nineteen, but the team's new owners did not pursue
that vision of a mixed use neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Current stadium needed.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
About seven hundred million dollars in investment to remain viable
for the next twenty five to thirty years per the
Broncos assessment, and said the city could now try to
bring new life to the empower field site in the future.
Burnham Yard obviously one of the last big undeveloped piece
of land in the city. Residents of Laoma Lincoln neighborhood
(23:31):
have hoped for decades to see it used for housing, retail,
park space, et CETERA. Longtime neighborhood organizer still a You,
said the city drafted a neighborhood plan back in twenty
ten out lining.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
These potential uses.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
The cities expected to bring a new local planning process
to support the stadium. Eltman of the stadium could come
with other mixed use development as well. The Broncos are
committed to a strong and inclusive community benefits agreement process
that will began immediately and will work hand in hand
with Denver City Council. The team said, You believes the
(24:05):
Broncos should stay in Denver and hopes that the community
gets the best deal possible. Just letting it sit there
is not the best use of the land because the
land is an industrial site and needs significant remediation. Whoever
develops it will need a lot of money, and obviously
the Broncos have that community organizer Andrea Burrella, which is
the Broncos had chosen to move to the Loan Tree.
(24:26):
West Denver has a long history of projects being dumped
on the community with that neighborhood input. She said, I
also think it's just wasteful to be building another stadium
and we have a perfectly fine stadium. It's because we
have new owners. She said that I feel like the
rich and elite get to do what they want and
our community pays for it. Well, the community's not paying
for this one, as the Walton Penner Group has made
it clear that they will be privately funding the entire stadium,
(24:49):
while the city may have some costs incurred due to
logistics and things like that. The Broncos obviously gowned by
the Walton Penner Group, which includes several members of the
Walmart Empire, Rob Walton, Greg Penner, Walt Better, et cetera,
former US Secretary of State, Count of Lisa Rice, investor
and local National Women's Soccer League co owner Melody Hobson,
(25:13):
British racing legend Lewis Hamilton. The Broncos obviously debut in
nineteen sixty here in Denver is one of the original
American Football League teams, joining the NFL back in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Team has won.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Three Super Bowls, most recently in twenty fifteen, and are
one to zero on the year after beating the Tennessee
Titans in their home opener. As far as the new
stadium goes, I think that this sounds like a win
win win for just about everybody. The fact that we're
not going to be using public funds, We're not going
to have to raise taxes for any of this, the
(25:48):
fact that the Denver Broncos get to stay in the
heart of Denver, and you know, this stadium, which wouldn't
open until at least twenty thirty one, obviously still has
a ways to go. But we're in the we're in
the crawl stage now, we have the site, sort of
the crawl stage now. Got several questions about all this
(26:10):
stuff today, multiple people asking me about, you know, things
like well PSLs uh and not referring to the abhorrent
drink that Ryan Edwards keeps trying to foist on me. Yes,
personal seat licenses are going to be a thing with
this stadium.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'll just spoil that surprise.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Now that is going to be a thing, So you
know there is there is cost that comes with this
to the fans. People have been asking about the roof.
We had a conversation with Demani Leitch earlier today and
he suggested what I had suggested on KOW when we
reported this originally, which was that while it will have
(26:50):
a retractable roof, the goal is to have that roof
open as much as possible, and that would be what
we would be looking at doing. So most games will
be played unless there's lightning in the area or it
is just absolutely dumping snow. I don't see too many
scenarios where that roof would be closed that or it's
you know, bitter cold, which we haven't really had too
(27:11):
too many of those. I think what two games in
the last fifteen years that would fall into that. So
those are the main Those are the main things. As is,
the Broncles will play at the current site until at
least twenty thirty. It just depends on how quickly it
takes for this to get done. From what I understand,
the stadium, they don't have a final stadium proposal yet,
(27:37):
so the idea of anybody telling you what the stadiums
will look like or any of that would just be false.
They do have a couple of concepts. Mostly they're shooting
for a stadium that will seat seventy to seventy five thousand,
which would be in line with where we're at right now.
Maybe a little light of where we are right now,
but not much. What else I'm trying to think of
(27:58):
all the questions that I was asked today, so I
can run down the list. What will happen with the
empower Field site, Well, it'll revert back to city control.
From what I understand, there's a possibility of selling that
office developmental land to have to have that stadium raised
and create an entertainment and residential district.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And then you would create a tunnel underneath the highway
going back over toward all the stuff that's back over
on the other side there, which would you know, would
connect the situation they're doing over there at Ball Arena,
you know. And the idea would be to create a
you know, a whole district there, a revenue and a
money maker for for taxpayers and for the city. So
(28:39):
from what I understand, that's the idea. Obviously there's things
to work out and all that, and plenty of time
to work out on all this. It's not something that's
going to complete at any time soon. Broncos players were
excited about it, however, when asked about it, like Patzertan
what it would lay like to play in a new stadium,
very bluntly said, look at that point of time, I
would be in or eleven of my time in the league.
(29:02):
So to give you an idea of how far off
that is, while it's twenty twenty five now on twenty
thirty one seems fairly close. In six years, it's still
a full six years out. And so that's you know,
a lot of the guys that are playing for the
Broncos now, if not all of them, would barely be
here anymore. So conceptually a great idea in terms of
(29:23):
asking those guys, but the reality is almost none of
them are ever going to play in that stadium, if
at all I do. I am curious what you guys
think about it. Obviously, that reporting had been done originally
here on KOA back in mid August, the Denver Post
putting out a formal report on that in print today,
(29:44):
with Parker Gabriel reporting on that I, in looking at this,
believe that that you know, they get the benefit of
the pr portion of this, which is that they're paying
for it. I think you'd have a tough sell trying
(30:06):
to get people in Denver to pay for a billionaire
stadium in this climate. We've sort of seen a shift
towards that in recent years. While there has been and
there are stadiums that are being financed with some public
money like in Cleveland, quite a bit of that not
the case in other places. You look at, for instance,
(30:30):
Chicago where their new stadium is going to be privately financed.
So FI in Los Angeles we talked about earlier, we
did not use public money, and so I think, you know,
there's there's a shift, there's sort of a populist rhetoric
shift into you know, why are we giving billionaires money?
They're billionaires, Let them, let them do it and then
we'll figure it out. Well, you know, that cost gets
(30:51):
passed on to the fans either any which way you
slice it. It is just exorbitant personal seat licenses fees
is you know, as a part of the way they
pay for that.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
So don't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Secures from now when that comes down the pike that
you're you know you're paying for these exorbitent PSLs, and
and that's why had a few other news items I
wanted to get to super quick. I don't know if
you guys watched the game last night between the Vikings
(31:22):
and the Bears, but getting booed off the field in
your debut for coughing up a double digit lead is
not exactly exactly the way you want to you want
to do it. And that's what happened with Ben Johnson
there from the Bears after the final two minutes drew
(31:43):
the most heat on. Johnson's real error came about twenty
twenty game minutes earlier when he challenged the TJ.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hocketson fumbled it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
And then halfway through the third quarter, you know, Hockets
had caught a short pass roll and had the ball
punched out. It appeared in the moment and on replay
to have been down. Johnson challence anyway lost the time out,
and that time out would be significant later on.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
In the game.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Caleb Williams was kind of good until he wasn't connected
on every pass through the first quarter and a half,
but when he started missing, he started missing bad an
airball in the direction of Dj Moore late in the
fourth when Chicago was driving down ten. You know the
Bears are going to score thirty seconds later anyway, but
you know, at the time that looked like a thing.
(32:31):
There were several errors. The Bears scored left two o
two on the clock, so all they had to do
was kick it out of the end zone, and they
were getting a free time out back stoppage with the
two minute warning, and Johnson knew this and told Cayrol
Santos to kick the ball out of the back of
the end zone to prevent the clock from moving. Santos
(32:52):
came up about three yards short, Minnesota ran a ball
out and killed out just enough time to avoid having
to run a play before the two minute warning. The
Bears did force the three and out, but then they
only had nine seconds with which to act, instead of
about fifty seconds that they would have had to try
to get a field goal to tie it. You could
(33:13):
have just told Carol Santos to kick the ball straight
out of bounds, which would have given the Vikings only
five more yards of field. Positions started the forty instead
of the thirty five. So I don't know in this
era of we've got guys with big enough legs to
kick these sixty yard field goals, but we don't have
somebody who can just boot one out the back of
the end zone off the tee feels weird, and the
(33:35):
fact that that was not made impeccably clear to Santos seems.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Odd to me.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
But that's how it goes. Guys, listen to Broncos country
tonight right here on Kawa
