You miss any part of that, you gotta Brocos Country Tonight,

Totally Free Asso, my Heart Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What do you get to take for granted podcast as well?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Nick, We had an interesting we had an interesting few months,
I guess around football and and interactions with fans, players, coaches,
those worlds sort.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Of colliding sometimes at levels they shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Brian branch Or was it Brian Burns, I'm sorry Brian Burns, Yeah,
who recently who recently issued an apology for firing up
both barrels at the crowd at a Was it a
Packers game?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it was, and.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
He was giving the salute of your number one to
the Packers.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Fans, to put it mildly, and what We've seen a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Of occurrences like this in all types of sports, on
the pro game, the collegiate game, but also on the
high school level as well. And for Briant branch I
mean he apologized because I think he apologized because people
saw it, not just because he did it, but sometimes
(01:25):
you get wrapped up into emotion.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a divisional game. You have the Lions playing against
the Packers.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
It was so important as far as really putting or
establishing Dan Campbell in the Lions. But yeah, I mean
he did something with his hands that was a little
embarrassing and one with dare to say it drew an
unsportsman like conduct penalty. But I know I've been in
(01:51):
those situations heat of anger, of joy and jubilations that
sometimes you do things that you ordinarily I wouldn't do
a look, I know if I can turn over a
table out of frustration. I know there's a story about
Benjamin ar Bright doing something that let's just say he
(02:12):
shouldn't have done.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I could never.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm the piece and harmony guy all the time. As
we said around the campfire, I've never had or broken
a tennis racket out of just smashing it into the
ground at a pure anger.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I've never done such a thing. I could never. You
seem like you're the type of guy that would give
someone some very uh encouraging words, you know the way. Honestly,
I never yelled at teammates. I didn't I talking about
your teammates team.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Absolutely the talker out there, friends talk to my friends,
imagined I talked to somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The other side of the field. But I'm talking about
puting some extra steak on its.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, like if I felt like I needed to
get under their skin or something, or if I felt,
you know, like like they were getting a little.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Up that I usually trying to pick my seem like
you would be that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Get a guy so pissed off that he's not even
worried about getting tackling the running back on the draw.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He just running dead at you.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh yeah, Oh, and I'm trying to get a flag
out of somebody or something because we're so deep in
the hole.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I need something third down.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Uh yeah, I told I told the defensive tackle one
time because his girlfriend was there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
She was one of the cheer leaders on the other side.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I told her I was gonna go run over there
and say hi to And I ran over there and
ran out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Right wait wait wait wait, so you told him now
you was selling this already. No, but as you're setting
that up, I'm thinking that you're about to say something
like worthwhile, like I said this to him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, most of the stuff I said, I need to
clean it up a little bit, okay, because.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You say, well, I told this girl walk over there
and say something to him. Well, that's not gonna do
anything for me, except on the next play I did.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I mean, I ran out of bounce, went over to
her and then i'd like stumbled fake stumbled over by
her that I was like chat with her for a
second before I came out.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Man that that doesn't fit it, Like, I mean, okay,
let me help you out here. So if you ever
tell this story again, just add a couple of things
to it. Don't just say that you went over it
and you stumbled over and you started talking to his girl.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Like so I'm gonna go kiss your girl in the mouth.
In the mouth, I didn't even I mean I made
it knowing what I was doing. But I went over
there and put hands on your girl.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And I'm trying to clean this up a little bit,
so you know, yeah, no, I'm trying to like I'm
trying to give the G version radio.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, I went over there, and did you know, I.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Pushed about it and he absolutely jumped the next play,
like he absolutely jumped.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You See, that was the type of things where someone
waits for you by your busy.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We we're gonna wait for him by the But I
got swung on like three or four times, like like
you know me, I mean, you know, you know my.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
About like I got swung on a few times. Man.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's I'm trying to think of some good ones right
now that would really that I can clean up enough
on the air that would that would be like that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
How do you feel about like?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And I've seen it sometimes when guys are playing against
other teams and coaches are like right there on the sideline,
and it's like you're shutting the hell up. But I'm
giving you the piecing version of way to say it
to a coach.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, uh, I mean I got you know, I had
I had mostly joking relationships with the posing coaches.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I had fun with him.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It was the people on the field that I was
kind of you know, I'd be like, I, you know,
see if you know, messing with the coach that that's fun.
But that was a different kind of tear. I'm trying
to think of the best way to explain this. I
we had some some substances on the sideline that were
there for for muscles and to rub you know, ointments,
like that kind of stuff like I see right, and
I may have taken like like a handful of that
(05:31):
and gently rubbed in a wildly inappropriate way on someone,
uh while we were on the field.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Broll. That sounds all bad. I'm just trying to what
that out of mind. I mean, it was the nineties.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It is a little bit different, but I'm like, no,
they weren't doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was worse. Like I made it seem like I was.
I made it seem like I was or something. Yes,
you know kind of thing in South. Yes I did.
I get it, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Was all about playing head games like on the fel like,
I love that part of it. That to me, that's
the chess game within the chess game, man, Like I
love that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Stuff for me. I was never really uh, you got
to hit people. I was trying to I did. I
was trying to get you to mess up like that
was the thing.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So and then whenever anybody got a really good hit
on me, I always like pretended like what even a
thing like even, oh my god, but that's a nice hit.
Was like dapping somebody like that's a nice hit.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That was next time put some stink on it. You know,
and then I'm back and I was like, oh my god,
I'm dying. He lacerated my spleek.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But no, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's that's to me, that was the chess g that's
the head game within.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The head game. I love that part of it. But
for me, like I wasn't that type of guy that
talked a lot during games.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
But I never really said a lot to coaches either.
The reason I said I wouldn't do that because think
about it, it's a smice of small circle. You never
know when you're gonna need that coach or you end
up a free agent and that guy is a head
coach and he remembers what you said to him before.
(07:15):
And now that becomes somewhat of a problem because just
think about it. That a lot of guys who get
pushed to shove or chase a guy on an opposing sideline.
And it was almost like when that happened, I mean,
you were going and the Lions then just button naked
full of honey oh, because it seemed like so as
you went over there, something.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Was gonna do something to you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
The worst, the worst play, and I'll tell you this,
like am I The worst thing was having to run
over to that other sideline. You know, I'm trying to
pick up yardage. Yeah, so like I'm you know, so
like if I was rid of the other sideline, I
was much more apt to toss the ball and like
you know, out of bounce and not not running there
than I was to like try to extend and make
a play.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Because I wasn't trying to get caught up in there.
You know us you will. You get cleats on your hands,
you get people.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Stomping on your hands, or you know, or you get
the one where you're running or you're forced to imposing
sideline and the people on the sideline build somewhat of
a brick wall and you run into.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And I'm not big enough to move that wall. So
you know, you get the mosquito on the windshield.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Treatment, yeah you do.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But things have changed where we've seen both players and fans,
uh become a lot more aggressive.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Than we've seen in years past.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
What was the game this year I think was U
when Texas was playing Georgia, and Georgia they were the
road team and fans were throwing like bottles and things
on on the field and uh, steves our keys and
had to you know, walk to midfield in the student
the student section and tell them to kind.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Of you that's out about Like, I don't mind, I
don't mind fans taunting from the stands, but you got
to keep yourself in the stands.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There should be a separation of church and state here.
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You should never have players running up in the running
up in the stands. You should never have uh fans
coming down, you know, they should never. There should be
a like a like an invisible wall there, a barrier
or something.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You should be throwing things at players like and I
you know, I sort.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Of get the poor of beer on the guy if
he's doing the if if it's like Les fresh as
the Lion score a touchdown at lambo and then they
jump up there, try to lambo leap.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I'm okay with you. Poorn of beer on the player there,
he's bringing it on him side.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He jumped in the stands right right their celebration, that
particular scenario is okay. But throwing batteries and bottles down
on the field, Hell no.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, that's the crazy part about the collegiate game. That
one I kind of despise, But I celebrate at the
same time. And here's why, because college fans they they
love their team, they love their alma mater, and they
come out in the in they cheer, and that student's
(09:48):
section you really depend on them.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
If you're the home team.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They are really rowdy bunch and they yell, they screamed,
they talk smack to the opposition. But then sometimes they
may indulge in a little of the adult beverage too
many before the game and you're during and they might,
as eminem say.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I would say, they only have one opportunity spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That's it. And then when like and and and and that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That ruckus of a section of the student section. It's
just someone who ordinarily wouldn't be that ruckus. They're not
known for that, but when they get on campus, they're
ways for their parents get oh man, talk about it.
They turned up all the way up and the next
thing you know, they're saying things and they're throwing things.
But that's a great thing about college football, that that
(10:39):
love both love and hate about the student section.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, and going back to what we were hitting on
at the top of this about branch flipping off fans,
I mean there's I assume he's gonna get a fine
from the league because it's that's allowed.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, the taking you down your socks, you can
you can rest assured that both barrels was getting you
is getting a fine.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean to me, I'm sort of okay, a little
bit okay with like an interaction or a banter with
the players, you know, up in the crowd. We had
a coach, Nick Sirianni with that eber flu, you know,
I mean, we had We've had some coaches.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Going after fans and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm sort of okay with that a little bit because
you're taking the verbal all day, but don't do it
at like a critical moment or just something, you know.
I mean, if you want to throw something up to
give him away, let him know.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Your heart, you know, that kind of thing. I don't
think you want to incite it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Though I'm not saying no players don't want to incite it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But for me, you have to draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
And I know fans feel as though they pay a
significant amount for game tickets and where they sit, where
they sit, and they should have the right as a
fan to engage in a game. It's like they feel
as though, well, you just can't tell me I can
cheer or I can boo. I should be able to
say whatever the hell I want to say. And I agree,
(11:54):
but everything comes within reason. Don't do say something to
someone that you wouldn't want to repeat it to you.
So if a fan can yell and scream at a
player and call him out his name, even though I'm
not saying that it's the best thing to do as
a player, why can't the player have a little retort
(12:14):
of his own?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Five six, six, nine zeros the text on what you
guys think? A couple of texts. By the way, I
just got the text line back up. It's been off
almost all day, but it's it's finally back up.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Three one six, Good evening from Wichita, Kansas.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Can you give us a little Broncos fans a shout
out here among the waves of Chiefs fans. Yeah, big
game Sunday, time for an upset orch blue Hearts.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, shout out Wichita, Kansas. Got a rep for us?
Uh there? Seven nine. No one's scared of the Broncos going.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Deep, which is why the short passes don't yield yards
after catch, there's I think there's some something to that.
Four one Oho if the Chiefs are on decline at
eight and oh please send what they're doing today? Oh
my goodness, Yeah, I love it. That's uh yeah, that's
a good k right there. Someone nine Thanks to the
(12:57):
election work last night. Great to hear Nick as well.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Thank you. We we both appreciate that. I think we
both had some fun doing that. Appreciate you. We had
a last night.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We had America country tonight country d we had America
Country to that last night. Several questions about at Perry
why they don't play at Perry, And my guess on
this is that at does not inspire them that he's
going to go out there and play better than the
other options I have.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well, look, sometimes you have to wait to kind of
break a guy in in the right way. You may
have your determination predetermined whatever where you see guys a
certain certain way, and you're looking.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
At the seasons.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Okay, once we get to this particular point and the
Broncos are coming up on the buy, maybe after that
there are some moves made where some guys who were
not playing before.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Now get more playing time.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
As a team looks at look ahead as far as
twenty twenty five is concerned. So you never really know
why guys not playing, why it's not being involved. But
it raised a lot of questions for Broncos fans, especially
when you're looking for, you know, more productivity, the more
of a spark offensively.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, I mean again, I think if they felt like
he was the secret sauce, he'd be out there. Same
thing with Donald Parham, same thing with you know, any
of those guys.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I mean, okay, so you brought up Donald parm I
think Donald parm based on his size, can give you
a little something.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And once again, thinking about what we're talking about, we're
talking about something that would give the offense somewhat of
a jolt, almost like a dead car battery, right, you
just need to give it a charge or something like that,
and something to really excite the fan base because the
tightening position has been non existent unless you look at
(14:46):
the Carolina Panthers game. But other than that, you haven't
really got too much out of that group. So at
this point, I'm like, the Broncos didn't make any you know,
trades other than Baron Browning. Why not said that you
got because Greg Dulston's just been in a healthy sc
for what three four games.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now, Yeah, so why not? That's I mean, that is
the question. At the end of it.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Ryan wants us to address how outclassed the Nuggets are
by the thunder. I don't know if we get time
to get that, maybe after the the NFL six Pack,
which we're going to get to next Broucos Country Night.
Taking a break, we'll be back now it's time for
the NFL six Pack.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What I don't think the listeners about today, guys, Dan
Morgan said it was addressed for us and Deontay Johnson
to part ways. Panthers General manager Dan Morgan that.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
With media today discussed the decision to trade two of
the team's wide receivers over the last couple of weeks.
First of those moves involved sending Deontay Johnson in a
sixth round pick to the Ravens for a fifth round pick.
Others saw the move Jonathan Mingo at a seventh round
pick to the Cowboys for a fourth rider and the
Johnson deal. Morgan suggested that there's more in play than
simply improving the team's draft position during what's likely to
(15:56):
be a losing season. Saying, quote, we felt the end
of the day, there's best for the team. As for Deontay,
they both part ways to get the compensation there that
we got, so at the end of the day, I
just thought it was best for both sides to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
He wanted to change a scenery, We wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Things on our end as well. I think the end
of the day, it's best for both sides to part ways. Mingo,
of course, was a second round pick last year, but
had just one catch over the last four games of
the white It's like Xavier and get Jalen Kocher have
been playing more prominent roles in the offense. Ported called
the deal a win for both sides because the Cowboys
get a still developing white out the Panthers can use
the pickest part of their continuing roster construction. What do
you think about Dan Morgan saying that it was best
(16:32):
for them and Deontay Johnson to part ladies.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, that's usually what happens in those situations. It is
best for teams to part ways from players that they
feels not being productive and not adding value today anticipated
and right now, let's be totally honest. The Panthers in
a total disarray, and they're trying to position themselves from
twenty to twenty five and beyond. And dare I use
(16:57):
the T word and say tanking, That's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They know that this season is a watch. They still
don't know what's going over Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So the ideas part ways with parts and ed others
in draftcapital and hope for the best.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Could they be tanking for Travis sucking for Shador?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Uh? They could be.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But once again, I think that what's happening in Bolder
right now with Shador and Coach Prime. Coach Prime wants
his son to go to a team where he's going
to be successful, but not be the next Bryce Young.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Two Pars wide receiver DJ Moore defended himself. I'm in criticism.
He quit on his quarterback and his team. On Sunday,
Moore left the field as Caleb Williams was still scrambling
against the Cardinals during a first quarter play. He offered
an explanation today. This sounded like it was typed up
by public relations, but we'll see, saying he tweaked his
ankle I was coming back toward the quarterback because I'd
(17:51):
seen Caleb was scrambling. My ankle went in and out.
I couldn't stop, so my momentum took me out of balance.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And I just walked off.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
More went and sat down on the benches to play,
continued watching his Wlliams to an incomplete pass to Keenan Allen.
He returned to the field for the very next play,
ran a downfield route and played seventy three of the
Bear's seventy four offensive snaps. The initial role of the
ankle was hurting bad. That's why I hobbled off and
sat down. I came back in the next play, was
kind of reindeering whatever it's called down the middle of
the field. But I didn't stop playing the game. I
didn't not go back in. Wasn't phased by criticisms and
(18:20):
questions about whether he was dogging it. Moore had not
found the connection with Williams that he had with Justin
Fields last year thirty seven receptions three thirty four yards,
three touchdowns eight games this season.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
He had forty four for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Six ninety one to five touchdowns thre eight games last season.
What do you think about Morris saying he tweaked his
ankle that was miraculously healthy for the next play and rest.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Of the game. Well, I can easily see that happening.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
How many times we've seen guys run plays wars their
sideline or the opposing team's sideline and maybe run out
of bounds, and just so happens. He was near his
side line, so he immediately felt something went down.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
And said on the bench, got it attended to and return.
It's not as though there was no attending key, saying
now I got back up. I mean, let's be totally out.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
He did not do what Anthony Richardson did might say
untie both.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And just kind of shut it down. He came back
into again. Yes, I mean, so I don't think too
much of it. I don't want to make too much
of it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
These types of things happened, and DJ Moore is a gamer,
so I trust him when he says that he tweinked
his AKO.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Three Jets rookie Malachi Corley says that his blooper is
not a defining moment for him. Malci Corley showed no
remorse for dropping the ball before crossing the goal line
on Thursday Night Football. Speaking for the first time since Blooper,
six days ago called it a great experience, saying it's
not a defining moment for me.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Of course, the fact that Corley's.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Touchdown turned touchbacks didn't cost the Jets of the game
sort of helped, as the Jets won twenty one thirteen
over the Texans.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Could have been really bad for me if the Jets
had lost.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Orley said he was headed for his first NFL touchdown
running untouched to the end zone on a nineteen yard
Jets sweet when he dropped the ball inches before crossing the.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Goal line in a premature celebration.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Ron originally called a touchdown by the officials, was reversed
but to a touchback by replay after the ball went
out the back of the end zone after he dropped it.
Porley said he's not embarrassed, not at all. You take
things with the grain of salt. Play this game for
a long time. You see a lot more and a
lot less embarrassing things happen on the field. For me,
great learning experience, Extremely excited to run across the end
zone line, to be able to jet around the field,
do all kinds of stuff, So it was fun overall.
(20:28):
Instead of his first touchdown, Corley ended up with his
first blooper and estimates he scored more than two hundred
touchdowns in his career dating back to his youth football days.
It had never previously dropped the ball before the goal line.
He said he will present his first official touchdown ball
to interim coach jeff Ulbridge.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, at these scores the first time.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
My thing instead of giving the ball to Jeff Aldbridge
as a consulation product.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Like you're gonna drop it and then hang on to
it exactly. But I can understand getting a.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Little too excited and not crossing the finish line with
the football. We've seen the town of the time and
college football. We've seen it in a nice school football
as well.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Four Saints wide receiver Chris o'lave has suffered two concussions
this year, the most recent suffered on Sunday. He's going
to consult with a specialist about his future. Lobby absorbed
an illegal hit to the head during Sunday's loss to
the Panthers, went to local hospital for evaluation.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He's in the process of trying to work his way back.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
He wants to go thoroughly through the process and making
sure he's the best decision for Christal Lave removing football
from that equation.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
What's the best decision for the person?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Then's via interim head coach Darren Ritzie or reporters on
Wednesday via Catherine Derell of ESPN. So many my conversation
with them are medical staff. We've been through and his
family's going to be through with the process. I completely
support that. Got five kids on my own, and if
that was one of my kids, I want to do
the same thing. A Lobby's now suffered four concussions during
his three year NFL career. We're more worried about Chris
(21:55):
the person and making sure everything's good.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He's got to seeing some specialists. We'll go through the process.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Ultimately, a Lave some pretty big decisions to make beyond
whether he wants to keep playing football and decide where
he wants to keep playing for the Saints too. Olave's
brother Josh said on social media and asked whether it's
worth it for Chris to keep playing quote, ain't worth it?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
In Nola. I'll tell you that for sure. I can
easily see.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
That if this what if Chris Oliby was playing for
Baby the Bills, Baltimore, Kansas City teams that were in contention,
maybe the conversation and narrative would be entirely different for me.
I don't think it matters what team that you're with
if there's something medically that can derail not just your
(22:38):
ability now, but moving on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I think you need to.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Take a look at as a guy, form of player
that's played the game a long time. Got my injuries
of my home that I deal with all the time.
You have to make sure that you are protecting yourself
for the future.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
What's your quality of life after football?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's the biggest thing. I mean, my quality of life
not the same. I got boughts and bruises. I guy
eights that keep me up. It's a little stretching and
pacing it here. Sometimes you see me standing up like
a sea saw in right.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But if I'm Chris Lobby's brother's family, just.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Like this situation Matua, let's talk to him and give
him an opportunity to decide what he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It is ultimately his decision.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Four concussions in three years nothing to uh, nothing to
shy away from though.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Five Get away from some receiver talk for a minute.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Kyle Shanahan's staying coy about Christian McCaffrey season McGann with
the Niners playing games about the availability of Christian McCaffrey. Now,
I was inching toward his twenty twenty four debut and.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The games continue.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Ask my reporters when a decision will be made regarding
whether McCaffrey will play on Sunday at Tampa Al, Shanahan said,
like this, like publicly, kickoff actually been ninety bus four
kickoff und less'll be active and not play. Shanahan had
more to say when asked what he needs to see
before he knows whether McCaffrey will play, saying, quote, that's
just Christian McCaffrey and he's not hurting. But as long
(23:58):
as everything goes well it has in the rehab, so
just as long as he doesn't go sore have setbacks, that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Means you going to be worse in the game.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
So hopefully he can string together three days in a
row and not have any of those. If McCaffery plays,
his workload would be TBD. Definitely could be a normal workload.
It definitely might not, Shanahan said, continuing to frustrate fantasy owners.
Shanahan also asked whether the twenty twenty four injuries related
to his heavy workload through twenty games in twenty twenty three,
He said he didn't believe that, regardless of how it
(24:25):
happened to keptmccaffery from playing any of the team's eight
games to date. Well, no soon whether or not he
can turn that around. Speaking of someone with the number
one overall pick in the fantasy draft and who took
Christian McCaffrey, please let him.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Play this weekend.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
No, I would say let him play only if you
think that he's ready to go.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Don't push it. The season isn't.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Over yet, and you would hate to push someone who's
just coming back to the brink of being back on
ir see.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I subscribe to the East Salt and Peppa Medical Medical Facility,
which is put publish it real good. Now.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
You know yourself was thinking about you and your fantasy
team mainly, But if you were really truly thinking about
your fantasy team, you would want McCafferty to rest one
more week.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I'm desperate. I need to help you. I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'm down to I'm down to hoping that Dalvin Cook
is starting to get serious carries for Dallas at this point, yeah,
I am in trouble. Five Dak Prescott's hamstring tendons partially
torn off the bone.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Prescott and Win an MRI on his injured hamstring, and
it is a significant injury.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It could keep him out weak Jane Slater, NFL Media
reporting the initial diagnosis is a partial revulsion of his
hamstring tendon, which is the tendon partially tearing off the
bone for a couple of time is typically more than
four weeks, which is the minimum stay required for an
injured reserve. Didn't Prescott's seeking other options, per Slater. Before
the Cowboys make a decision on whether to place the
(25:59):
quarterback on IR. He is not yet known whether he
will require surgery. In some cases, the injury is allowed
to scar over repair and then strengthened. It's unknown where
in the hamstring exactly. The injury is lower than the
hamstering around the knee heels quicker, the higher in.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The hamstring near the glute.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday the Cowboys expect to place
him on IR. Cooper Rush will start Sunday's game against
the Eagles, but the longer Prescott is out, the higher
the chance third string quarterback Trey Lance could get some
playing time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Where Scott signed four year, two.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Hundred forty million dollars extension just before the season and
has completed sixty four point seven percent of his passes
for eleven touchdowns and eight interceptions. The one have you
ever had a hamstring partially tear off the bone? And
number two do we want to see Trey Lance?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I would say yes, you want to see Trey Lance
because you want to see where his development is at
this particular point. It gives the Cowboys a lot of options. No,
I've never had a hamstring to up the bolt, but
a quad tendon in my thigh. I got kicked by
(27:05):
Javon Walker in practice one day and it kind of
left a deep contusion where the quad muscle had kind
of retreated up into the upper portion of my thigh.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Did Javon Walker what you said? It was a kick?
Were you guys doing karate? No? No, we were not
doing karate.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I would love to tell you that that's what was happening,
but this was when I was coming off of my
knee surgery and they gave me like eight months recovery,
but I came back in.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Six, far too early than it out.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Well, No, it was funny because he was running right,
he caught like a little shallow crosser, and I was
running behind him, and somehow I still don't understand it.
I had a thigh pad on and the back of
his foot as I'm chasing him hit me in my
(28:04):
thigh and I didn't think too much of it. And
when I got in the locker room, I saw this
long indentation in my thigh.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
In your thigh, So after that, So after that, I
started wearing thigh pads. I was like, I thought the
purpose of the thigh pad was to protect me, but
I still got injured under the thigh pad, and I
was like, yeah, whatever on the thigh pads. Yes, I was.
I was good on I'm just trying.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
To imagine looking got up my leg and seeing the
imprint of someone's shoe in my leg.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
The biggest thing it wasn't just that it's just the
muscle itself, because when you think about that thigh muscle,
it is a very long tendon. But it was an indentation.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Where it seemed like as it was a separation of
that tendon, where one part of it, like I said,
had you know, retreated up into my thigh and it
took several years for it to gradually come down and
it's still fully hasn't really come down to completion.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, you don't wear shorts now because we can still
see the indentation. That's that's kind of I do wear shorts,
but but I mean to wear shorts that you are
referring to to expose. Yeah, we talked about like Jo
John stopped jazz.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
These kids don't know they came up in the era
of like the Shaquille O'Neal, like a short pants shorts.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, I know it's back in.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's back shorts, the real short shorts, real short shorts
for back in for who for my generation.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I'm talking like five and a half in scene Like
that's the odd thing right now.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Wow, I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I'm I'm I'm a messenger here they listen to that
element of gron podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, I look, man, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I know fashion sometime it goes around in circles and patterns.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Like seventy shorts, like if Bob coozies are broad. Yeah, man,
I don't remember whose idea was to bring those backs.
I have not seen. I don't get it. I'm I'm
with y'all. I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
But if you watch NBA games, you can even see
some guys.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Now will like pull their shorts up higher or like
roll them up. I'm looking at an NBA and I
do not see any of that.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, what what's what's look find out what's teams? Yeah.
The example of this, yeah, the Nugget.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
It was on the Nuggets TikTok and the players were
talking about how like, oh, I like, run my.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I mean. The only example I can think of that
as Dulcine.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
She had the you know, the shorty shorts on when
he was out there doing it, you know, and I
kept I was like, what are you doing? Well, why
are we doing this? That's what I'm talking about. You
remember that when he showed up for the first camp
and I was like, bro, okay, where we get I'm
trying to go back.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Would not Was it the fact that his shorts were
hyped up that high or did he have on pants
like game worn pants that were cut No.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
This dude had shorts. I had the shorts on. It
was this was the first practice, the first practice. You
remember this, you could get it.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It was it was the idiot, like the shortest shorts
I have ever did you?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I was like, I didn't know the Broncos made practice
shorts and Winning's no, I don't recall that, but I mean, Zach,
I don't remember that being the thing. When did that
become a thing, That's what I'm asking I've never I
haven't seen this.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
This was a thing probably when I was leaving twenty
twenty is probably came back in a half decade.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Removed from that. You're you're you got us that far
behind the fashion. Come kid, man, I hate to be
the better bad news. I don't. I don't get it. Now.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I've seen the claared barrel bottoms or wide jeans like now,
I'm not talking about like boot cut jeans.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We're talking about like white jeans that look like drapes. Yeah,
I've seen them. I'm not wearing them, but I've seen them. Like,
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I guess you could just I'm out of touch with
that type of reality.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Out of time, said Broncos Country Night back of Fish
Thanks to Brian Michael for joining us in the last
segment of Steve Atwerber for joining us in the first hour.
You miss any part of that, you gotta Brocos Country Tonight,
dot Com, Slash podcast or Primage podcast, Apple iTunes, Spotify,
Totally Free Asso, my Heart Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What do you get to take for granted podcast as well?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Nick, We had an interesting we had an interesting few months,
I guess around football and and interactions with fans, players, coaches,
those worlds sort.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Of colliding sometimes at levels they shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Brian branch Or was it Brian Burns, I'm sorry Brian Burns, Yeah,
who recently who recently issued an apology for firing up
both barrels at the crowd at a Was it a
Packers game?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, it was, and.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
He was giving the salute of your number one to
the Packers.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Fans, to put it mildly, and what We've seen a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Of occurrences like this in all types of sports, on
the pro game, the collegiate game, but also on the
high school level as well. And for Briant branch I
mean he apologized because I think he apologized because people
saw it, not just because he did it, but sometimes
(01:25):
you get wrapped up into emotion.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a divisional game. You have the Lions playing against
the Packers.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
It was so important as far as really putting or
establishing Dan Campbell in the Lions. But yeah, I mean
he did something with his hands that was a little
embarrassing and one with dare to say it drew an
unsportsman like conduct penalty. But I know I've been in
(01:51):
those situations heat of anger, of joy and jubilations that
sometimes you do things that you ordinarily I wouldn't do
a look, I know if I can turn over a
table out of frustration. I know there's a story about
Benjamin ar Bright doing something that let's just say he
(02:12):
shouldn't have done.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I could never.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm the piece and harmony guy all the time. As
we said around the campfire, I've never had or broken
a tennis racket out of just smashing it into the
ground at a pure anger.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I've never done such a thing. I could never. You
seem like you're the type of guy that would give
someone some very uh encouraging words, you know the way. Honestly,
I never yelled at teammates. I didn't I talking about
your teammates team.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Absolutely the talker out there, friends talk to my friends,
imagined I talked to somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The other side of the field. But I'm talking about
puting some extra steak on its.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, like if I felt like I needed to
get under their skin or something, or if I felt,
you know, like like they were getting a little.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Up that I usually trying to pick my seem like
you would be that guy.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Get a guy so pissed off that he's not even
worried about getting tackling the running back on the draw.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He just running dead at you.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh yeah, Oh, and I'm trying to get a flag
out of somebody or something because we're so deep in
the hole.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I need something third down.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Uh yeah, I told I told the defensive tackle one
time because his girlfriend was there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
She was one of the cheer leaders on the other side.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I told her I was gonna go run over there
and say hi to And I ran over there and
ran out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Right wait wait wait wait, so you told him now
you was selling this already. No, but as you're setting
that up, I'm thinking that you're about to say something
like worthwhile, like I said this to him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, most of the stuff I said, I need to
clean it up a little bit, okay, because.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
You say, well, I told this girl walk over there
and say something to him. Well, that's not gonna do
anything for me, except on the next play I did.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I mean, I ran out of bounce, went over to
her and then i'd like stumbled fake stumbled over by
her that I was like chat with her for a
second before I came out.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Man that that doesn't fit it, Like, I mean, okay,
let me help you out here. So if you ever
tell this story again, just add a couple of things
to it. Don't just say that you went over it
and you stumbled over and you started talking to his girl.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Like so I'm gonna go kiss your girl in the mouth.
In the mouth, I didn't even I mean I made
it knowing what I was doing. But I went over
there and put hands on your girl.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And I'm trying to clean this up a little bit,
so you know, yeah, no, I'm trying to like I'm
trying to give the G version radio.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, I went over there, and did you know, I.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Pushed about it and he absolutely jumped the next play,
like he absolutely jumped.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You See, that was the type of things where someone
waits for you by your busy.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We we're gonna wait for him by the But I
got swung on like three or four times, like like
you know me, I mean, you know, you know my.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
About like I got swung on a few times. Man.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's I'm trying to think of some good ones right
now that would really that I can clean up enough
on the air that would that would be like that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
How do you feel about like?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
And I've seen it sometimes when guys are playing against
other teams and coaches are like right there on the sideline,
and it's like you're shutting the hell up. But I'm
giving you the piecing version of way to say it
to a coach.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, uh, I mean I got you know, I had
I had mostly joking relationships with the posing coaches.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I had fun with him.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It was the people on the field that I was
kind of you know, I'd be like, I, you know,
see if you know, messing with the coach that that's fun.
But that was a different kind of tear. I'm trying
to think of the best way to explain this. I
we had some some substances on the sideline that were
there for for muscles and to rub you know, ointments,
like that kind of stuff like I see right, and
I may have taken like like a handful of that
(05:31):
and gently rubbed in a wildly inappropriate way on someone,
uh while we were on the field.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Broll. That sounds all bad. I'm just trying to what
that out of mind. I mean, it was the nineties.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It is a little bit different, but I'm like, no,
they weren't doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was worse. Like I made it seem like I was.
I made it seem like I was or something. Yes,
you know kind of thing in South. Yes I did.
I get it, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Was all about playing head games like on the fel like,
I love that part of it. That to me, that's
the chess game within the chess game, man, Like I
love that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Stuff for me. I was never really uh, you got
to hit people. I was trying to I did. I
was trying to get you to mess up like that
was the thing.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So and then whenever anybody got a really good hit
on me, I always like pretended like what even a
thing like even, oh my god, but that's a nice hit.
Was like dapping somebody like that's a nice hit.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That was next time put some stink on it. You know,
and then I'm back and I was like, oh my god,
I'm dying. He lacerated my spleek.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
But no, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's that's to me, that was the chess g that's
the head game within.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The head game. I love that part of it. But
for me, like I wasn't that type of guy that
talked a lot during games.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
But I never really said a lot to coaches either.
The reason I said I wouldn't do that because think
about it, it's a smice of small circle. You never
know when you're gonna need that coach or you end
up a free agent and that guy is a head
coach and he remembers what you said to him before.
(07:15):
And now that becomes somewhat of a problem because just
think about it. That a lot of guys who get
pushed to shove or chase a guy on an opposing sideline.
And it was almost like when that happened, I mean,
you were going and the Lions then just button naked
full of honey oh, because it seemed like so as
you went over there, something.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Was gonna do something to you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
The worst, the worst play, and I'll tell you this,
like am I The worst thing was having to run
over to that other sideline. You know, I'm trying to
pick up yardage. Yeah, so like I'm you know, so
like if I was rid of the other sideline, I
was much more apt to toss the ball and like
you know, out of bounce and not not running there
than I was to like try to extend and make
a play.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Because I wasn't trying to get caught up in there.
You know us you will. You get cleats on your hands,
you get people.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Stomping on your hands, or you know, or you get
the one where you're running or you're forced to imposing
sideline and the people on the sideline build somewhat of
a brick wall and you run into.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And I'm not big enough to move that wall. So
you know, you get the mosquito on the windshield.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Treatment, yeah you do.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But things have changed where we've seen both players and fans,
uh become a lot more aggressive.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Than we've seen in years past.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
What was the game this year I think was U
when Texas was playing Georgia, and Georgia they were the
road team and fans were throwing like bottles and things
on on the field and uh, steves our keys and
had to you know, walk to midfield in the student
the student section and tell them to kind.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Of you that's out about Like, I don't mind, I
don't mind fans taunting from the stands, but you got
to keep yourself in the stands.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There should be a separation of church and state here.
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You should never have players running up in the running
up in the stands. You should never have uh fans
coming down, you know, they should never. There should be
a like a like an invisible wall there, a barrier
or something.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You should be throwing things at players like and I
you know, I sort.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Of get the poor of beer on the guy if
he's doing the if if it's like Les fresh as
the Lion score a touchdown at lambo and then they
jump up there, try to lambo leap.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I'm okay with you. Poorn of beer on the player there,
he's bringing it on him side.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He jumped in the stands right right their celebration, that
particular scenario is okay. But throwing batteries and bottles down
on the field, Hell no.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, that's the crazy part about the collegiate game. That
one I kind of despise, But I celebrate at the
same time. And here's why, because college fans they they
love their team, they love their alma mater, and they
come out in the in they cheer, and that student's
(09:48):
section you really depend on them.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
If you're the home team.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They are really rowdy bunch and they yell, they screamed,
they talk smack to the opposition. But then sometimes they
may indulge in a little of the adult beverage too
many before the game and you're during and they might,
as eminem say.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I would say, they only have one opportunity spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
That's it. And then when like and and and and that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That ruckus of a section of the student section. It's
just someone who ordinarily wouldn't be that ruckus. They're not
known for that, but when they get on campus, they're
ways for their parents get oh man, talk about it.
They turned up all the way up and the next
thing you know, they're saying things and they're throwing things.
But that's a great thing about college football, that that
(10:39):
love both love and hate about the student section.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, and going back to what we were hitting on
at the top of this about branch flipping off fans,
I mean there's I assume he's gonna get a fine
from the league because it's that's allowed.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean, the taking you down your socks, you can
you can rest assured that both barrels was getting you
is getting a fine.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean to me, I'm sort of okay, a little
bit okay with like an interaction or a banter with
the players, you know, up in the crowd. We had
a coach, Nick Sirianni with that eber flu, you know,
I mean, we had We've had some coaches.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Going after fans and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm sort of okay with that a little bit because
you're taking the verbal all day, but don't do it
at like a critical moment or just something, you know.
I mean, if you want to throw something up to
give him away, let him know.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Your heart, you know, that kind of thing. I don't
think you want to incite it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Though I'm not saying no players don't want to incite it.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But for me, you have to draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
And I know fans feel as though they pay a
significant amount for game tickets and where they sit, where
they sit, and they should have the right as a
fan to engage in a game. It's like they feel
as though, well, you just can't tell me I can
cheer or I can boo. I should be able to
say whatever the hell I want to say. And I agree,
(11:54):
but everything comes within reason. Don't do say something to
someone that you wouldn't want to repeat it to you.
So if a fan can yell and scream at a
player and call him out his name, even though I'm
not saying that it's the best thing to do as
a player, why can't the player have a little retort
(12:14):
of his own?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
All right, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Five six, six, nine zeros the text on what you
guys think? A couple of texts. By the way, I
just got the text line back up. It's been off
almost all day, but it's it's finally back up.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Three one six, Good evening from Wichita, Kansas.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Can you give us a little Broncos fans a shout
out here among the waves of Chiefs fans. Yeah, big
game Sunday, time for an upset orch blue Hearts.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, shout out Wichita, Kansas. Got a rep for us?
Uh there? Seven nine. No one's scared of the Broncos going.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Deep, which is why the short passes don't yield yards
after catch, there's I think there's some something to that.
Four one Oho if the Chiefs are on decline at
eight and oh please send what they're doing today? Oh
my goodness, Yeah, I love it. That's uh yeah, that's
a good k right there. Someone nine Thanks to the
(12:57):
election work last night. Great to hear Nick as well.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Thank you. We we both appreciate that. I think we
both had some fun doing that. Appreciate you. We had
a last night.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
We had America country tonight country d we had America
Country to that last night. Several questions about at Perry
why they don't play at Perry, And my guess on
this is that at does not inspire them that he's
going to go out there and play better than the
other options I have.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well, look, sometimes you have to wait to kind of
break a guy in in the right way. You may
have your determination predetermined whatever where you see guys a
certain certain way, and you're looking.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
At the seasons.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Okay, once we get to this particular point and the
Broncos are coming up on the buy, maybe after that
there are some moves made where some guys who were
not playing before.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Now get more playing time.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
As a team looks at look ahead as far as
twenty twenty five is concerned. So you never really know
why guys not playing, why it's not being involved. But
it raised a lot of questions for Broncos fans, especially
when you're looking for, you know, more productivity, the more
of a spark offensively.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, I mean again, I think if they felt like
he was the secret sauce, he'd be out there. Same
thing with Donald Parham, same thing with you know, any
of those guys.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I mean, okay, so you brought up Donald parm I
think Donald parm based on his size, can give you
a little something.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
And once again, thinking about what we're talking about, we're
talking about something that would give the offense somewhat of
a jolt, almost like a dead car battery, right, you
just need to give it a charge or something like that,
and something to really excite the fan base because the
tightening position has been non existent unless you look at
(14:46):
the Carolina Panthers game. But other than that, you haven't
really got too much out of that group. So at
this point, I'm like, the Broncos didn't make any you know,
trades other than Baron Browning. Why not said that you
got because Greg Dulston's just been in a healthy sc
for what three four games.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now, Yeah, so why not? That's I mean, that is
the question. At the end of it.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Ryan wants us to address how outclassed the Nuggets are
by the thunder. I don't know if we get time
to get that, maybe after the the NFL six Pack,
which we're going to get to next Broucos Country Night.
Taking a break, we'll be back now it's time for
the NFL six Pack.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What I don't think the listeners about today, guys, Dan
Morgan said it was addressed for us and Deontay Johnson
to part ways. Panthers General manager Dan Morgan that.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
With media today discussed the decision to trade two of
the team's wide receivers over the last couple of weeks.
First of those moves involved sending Deontay Johnson in a
sixth round pick to the Ravens for a fifth round pick.
Others saw the move Jonathan Mingo at a seventh round
pick to the Cowboys for a fourth rider and the
Johnson deal. Morgan suggested that there's more in play than
simply improving the team's draft position during what's likely to
(15:56):
be a losing season. Saying, quote, we felt the end
of the day, there's best for the team. As for Deontay,
they both part ways to get the compensation there that
we got, so at the end of the day, I
just thought it was best for both sides to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
He wanted to change a scenery, We wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Things on our end as well. I think the end
of the day, it's best for both sides to part ways. Mingo,
of course, was a second round pick last year, but
had just one catch over the last four games of
the white It's like Xavier and get Jalen Kocher have
been playing more prominent roles in the offense. Ported called
the deal a win for both sides because the Cowboys
get a still developing white out the Panthers can use
the pickest part of their continuing roster construction. What do
you think about Dan Morgan saying that it was best
(16:32):
for them and Deontay Johnson to part ladies.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, that's usually what happens in those situations. It is
best for teams to part ways from players that they
feels not being productive and not adding value today anticipated
and right now, let's be totally honest. The Panthers in
a total disarray, and they're trying to position themselves from
twenty to twenty five and beyond. And dare I use
(16:57):
the T word and say tanking, That's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
They know that this season is a watch. They still
don't know what's going over Bryce Young.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So the ideas part ways with parts and ed others
in draftcapital and hope for the best.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Could they be tanking for Travis sucking for Shador?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Uh? They could be.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But once again, I think that what's happening in Bolder
right now with Shador and Coach Prime. Coach Prime wants
his son to go to a team where he's going
to be successful, but not be the next Bryce Young.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Two Pars wide receiver DJ Moore defended himself. I'm in criticism.
He quit on his quarterback and his team. On Sunday,
Moore left the field as Caleb Williams was still scrambling
against the Cardinals during a first quarter play. He offered
an explanation today. This sounded like it was typed up
by public relations, but we'll see, saying he tweaked his
ankle I was coming back toward the quarterback because I'd
(17:51):
seen Caleb was scrambling. My ankle went in and out.
I couldn't stop, so my momentum took me out of balance.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And I just walked off.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
More went and sat down on the benches to play,
continued watching his Wlliams to an incomplete pass to Keenan Allen.
He returned to the field for the very next play,
ran a downfield route and played seventy three of the
Bear's seventy four offensive snaps. The initial role of the
ankle was hurting bad. That's why I hobbled off and
sat down. I came back in the next play, was
kind of reindeering whatever it's called down the middle of
the field. But I didn't stop playing the game. I
didn't not go back in. Wasn't phased by criticisms and
(18:20):
questions about whether he was dogging it. Moore had not
found the connection with Williams that he had with Justin
Fields last year thirty seven receptions three thirty four yards,
three touchdowns eight games this season.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
He had forty four for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Six ninety one to five touchdowns thre eight games last season.
What do you think about Morris saying he tweaked his
ankle that was miraculously healthy for the next play and rest.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Of the game. Well, I can easily see that happening.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
How many times we've seen guys run plays wars their
sideline or the opposing team's sideline and maybe run out
of bounds, and just so happens. He was near his
side line, so he immediately felt something went down.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
And said on the bench, got it attended to and return.
It's not as though there was no attending key, saying
now I got back up. I mean, let's be totally out.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
He did not do what Anthony Richardson did might say
untie both.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And just kind of shut it down. He came back
into again. Yes, I mean, so I don't think too
much of it. I don't want to make too much
of it.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
These types of things happened, and DJ Moore is a gamer,
so I trust him when he says that he tweinked
his AKO.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Three Jets rookie Malachi Corley says that his blooper is
not a defining moment for him. Malci Corley showed no
remorse for dropping the ball before crossing the goal line
on Thursday Night Football. Speaking for the first time since Blooper,
six days ago called it a great experience, saying it's
not a defining moment for me.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Of course, the fact that Corley's.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Touchdown turned touchbacks didn't cost the Jets of the game
sort of helped, as the Jets won twenty one thirteen
over the Texans.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Could have been really bad for me if the Jets
had lost.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Orley said he was headed for his first NFL touchdown
running untouched to the end zone on a nineteen yard
Jets sweet when he dropped the ball inches before crossing the.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Goal line in a premature celebration.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Ron originally called a touchdown by the officials, was reversed
but to a touchback by replay after the ball went
out the back of the end zone after he dropped it.
Porley said he's not embarrassed, not at all. You take
things with the grain of salt. Play this game for
a long time. You see a lot more and a
lot less embarrassing things happen on the field. For me,
great learning experience, Extremely excited to run across the end
zone line, to be able to jet around the field,
do all kinds of stuff, So it was fun overall.
(20:28):
Instead of his first touchdown, Corley ended up with his
first blooper and estimates he scored more than two hundred
touchdowns in his career dating back to his youth football days.
It had never previously dropped the ball before the goal line.
He said he will present his first official touchdown ball
to interim coach jeff Ulbridge.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, at these scores the first time.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
My thing instead of giving the ball to Jeff Aldbridge
as a consulation product.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Like you're gonna drop it and then hang on to
it exactly. But I can understand getting a.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Little too excited and not crossing the finish line with
the football. We've seen the town of the time and
college football. We've seen it in a nice school football
as well.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Four Saints wide receiver Chris o'lave has suffered two concussions
this year, the most recent suffered on Sunday. He's going
to consult with a specialist about his future. Lobby absorbed
an illegal hit to the head during Sunday's loss to
the Panthers, went to local hospital for evaluation.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He's in the process of trying to work his way back.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
He wants to go thoroughly through the process and making
sure he's the best decision for Christal Lave removing football
from that equation.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
What's the best decision for the person?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Then's via interim head coach Darren Ritzie or reporters on
Wednesday via Catherine Derell of ESPN. So many my conversation
with them are medical staff. We've been through and his
family's going to be through with the process. I completely
support that. Got five kids on my own, and if
that was one of my kids, I want to do
the same thing. A Lobby's now suffered four concussions during
his three year NFL career. We're more worried about Chris
(21:55):
the person and making sure everything's good.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He's got to seeing some specialists. We'll go through the process.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Ultimately, a Lave some pretty big decisions to make beyond
whether he wants to keep playing football and decide where
he wants to keep playing for the Saints too. Olave's
brother Josh said on social media and asked whether it's
worth it for Chris to keep playing quote, ain't worth it?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
In Nola. I'll tell you that for sure. I can
easily see.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
That if this what if Chris Oliby was playing for
Baby the Bills, Baltimore, Kansas City teams that were in contention,
maybe the conversation and narrative would be entirely different for me.
I don't think it matters what team that you're with
if there's something medically that can derail not just your
(22:38):
ability now, but moving on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I think you need to.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Take a look at as a guy, form of player
that's played the game a long time. Got my injuries
of my home that I deal with all the time.
You have to make sure that you are protecting yourself
for the future.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
What's your quality of life after football?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
That's the biggest thing. I mean, my quality of life
not the same. I got boughts and bruises. I guy
eights that keep me up. It's a little stretching and
pacing it here. Sometimes you see me standing up like
a sea saw in right.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
But if I'm Chris Lobby's brother's family, just.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Like this situation Matua, let's talk to him and give
him an opportunity to decide what he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It is ultimately his decision.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Four concussions in three years nothing to uh, nothing to
shy away from though.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Five Get away from some receiver talk for a minute.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Kyle Shanahan's staying coy about Christian McCaffrey season McGann with
the Niners playing games about the availability of Christian McCaffrey. Now,
I was inching toward his twenty twenty four debut and.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The games continue.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Ask my reporters when a decision will be made regarding
whether McCaffrey will play on Sunday at Tampa Al, Shanahan said,
like this, like publicly, kickoff actually been ninety bus four
kickoff und less'll be active and not play. Shanahan had
more to say when asked what he needs to see
before he knows whether McCaffrey will play, saying, quote, that's
just Christian McCaffrey and he's not hurting. But as long
(23:58):
as everything goes well it has in the rehab, so
just as long as he doesn't go sore have setbacks, that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Means you going to be worse in the game.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
So hopefully he can string together three days in a
row and not have any of those. If McCaffery plays,
his workload would be TBD. Definitely could be a normal workload.
It definitely might not, Shanahan said, continuing to frustrate fantasy owners.
Shanahan also asked whether the twenty twenty four injuries related
to his heavy workload through twenty games in twenty twenty three,
He said he didn't believe that, regardless of how it
(24:25):
happened to keptmccaffery from playing any of the team's eight
games to date. Well, no soon whether or not he
can turn that around. Speaking of someone with the number
one overall pick in the fantasy draft and who took
Christian McCaffrey, please let him.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Play this weekend.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
No, I would say let him play only if you
think that he's ready to go.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Don't push it. The season isn't.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Over yet, and you would hate to push someone who's
just coming back to the brink of being back on
ir see.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I subscribe to the East Salt and Peppa Medical Medical Facility,
which is put publish it real good. Now.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
You know yourself was thinking about you and your fantasy
team mainly, But if you were really truly thinking about
your fantasy team, you would want McCafferty to rest one
more week.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I'm desperate. I need to help you. I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'm down to I'm down to hoping that Dalvin Cook
is starting to get serious carries for Dallas at this point, yeah,
I am in trouble. Five Dak Prescott's hamstring tendons partially
torn off the bone.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Prescott and Win an MRI on his injured hamstring, and
it is a significant injury.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It could keep him out weak Jane Slater, NFL Media
reporting the initial diagnosis is a partial revulsion of his
hamstring tendon, which is the tendon partially tearing off the
bone for a couple of time is typically more than
four weeks, which is the minimum stay required for an
injured reserve. Didn't Prescott's seeking other options, per Slater. Before
the Cowboys make a decision on whether to place the
(25:59):
quarterback on IR. He is not yet known whether he
will require surgery. In some cases, the injury is allowed
to scar over repair and then strengthened. It's unknown where
in the hamstring exactly. The injury is lower than the
hamstering around the knee heels quicker, the higher in.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The hamstring near the glute.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday the Cowboys expect to place
him on IR. Cooper Rush will start Sunday's game against
the Eagles, but the longer Prescott is out, the higher
the chance third string quarterback Trey Lance could get some
playing time.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Where Scott signed four year, two.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Hundred forty million dollars extension just before the season and
has completed sixty four point seven percent of his passes
for eleven touchdowns and eight interceptions. The one have you
ever had a hamstring partially tear off the bone? And
number two do we want to see Trey Lance?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I would say yes, you want to see Trey Lance
because you want to see where his development is at
this particular point. It gives the Cowboys a lot of options. No,
I've never had a hamstring to up the bolt, but
a quad tendon in my thigh. I got kicked by
(27:05):
Javon Walker in practice one day and it kind of
left a deep contusion where the quad muscle had kind
of retreated up into the upper portion of my thigh.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Did Javon Walker what you said? It was a kick?
Were you guys doing karate? No? No, we were not
doing karate.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
I would love to tell you that that's what was happening,
but this was when I was coming off of my
knee surgery and they gave me like eight months recovery,
but I came back in.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Six, far too early than it out.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Well, No, it was funny because he was running right,
he caught like a little shallow crosser, and I was
running behind him, and somehow I still don't understand it.
I had a thigh pad on and the back of
his foot as I'm chasing him hit me in my
(28:04):
thigh and I didn't think too much of it. And
when I got in the locker room, I saw this
long indentation in my thigh.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
In your thigh, So after that, So after that, I
started wearing thigh pads. I was like, I thought the
purpose of the thigh pad was to protect me, but
I still got injured under the thigh pad, and I
was like, yeah, whatever on the thigh pads. Yes, I was.
I was good on I'm just trying.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
To imagine looking got up my leg and seeing the
imprint of someone's shoe in my leg.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
The biggest thing it wasn't just that it's just the
muscle itself, because when you think about that thigh muscle,
it is a very long tendon. But it was an indentation.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Where it seemed like as it was a separation of
that tendon, where one part of it, like I said,
had you know, retreated up into my thigh and it
took several years for it to gradually come down and
it's still fully hasn't really come down to completion.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, you don't wear shorts now because we can still
see the indentation. That's that's kind of I do wear shorts,
but but I mean to wear shorts that you are
referring to to expose. Yeah, we talked about like Jo
John stopped jazz.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
These kids don't know they came up in the era
of like the Shaquille O'Neal, like a short pants shorts.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, I know it's back in.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's back shorts, the real short shorts, real short shorts
for back in for who for my generation.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I'm talking like five and a half in scene Like
that's the odd thing right now.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Wow, I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
I'm I'm I'm a messenger here they listen to that
element of gron podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, I look, man, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
I know fashion sometime it goes around in circles and patterns.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Like seventy shorts, like if Bob coozies are broad. Yeah, man,
I don't remember whose idea was to bring those backs.
I have not seen. I don't get it. I'm I'm
with y'all. I don't get it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
But if you watch NBA games, you can even see
some guys.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Now will like pull their shorts up higher or like
roll them up. I'm looking at an NBA and I
do not see any of that.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah, what what's what's look find out what's teams? Yeah.
The example of this, yeah, the Nugget.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
It was on the Nuggets TikTok and the players were
talking about how like, oh, I like, run my.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I mean. The only example I can think of that
as Dulcine.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
She had the you know, the shorty shorts on when
he was out there doing it, you know, and I
kept I was like, what are you doing? Well, why
are we doing this? That's what I'm talking about. You
remember that when he showed up for the first camp
and I was like, bro, okay, where we get I'm
trying to go back.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Would not Was it the fact that his shorts were
hyped up that high or did he have on pants
like game worn pants that were cut No.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
This dude had shorts. I had the shorts on. It
was this was the first practice, the first practice. You
remember this, you could get it.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
It was it was the idiot, like the shortest shorts
I have ever did you?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I was like, I didn't know the Broncos made practice
shorts and Winning's no, I don't recall that, but I mean, Zach,
I don't remember that being the thing. When did that
become a thing, That's what I'm asking I've never I
haven't seen this.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
This was a thing probably when I was leaving twenty
twenty is probably came back in a half decade.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Removed from that. You're you're you got us that far
behind the fashion. Come kid, man, I hate to be
the better bad news. I don't. I don't get it. Now.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I've seen the claared barrel bottoms or wide jeans like now,
I'm not talking about like boot cut jeans.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We're talking about like white jeans that look like drapes. Yeah,
I've seen them. I'm not wearing them, but I've seen them. Like,
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I guess you could just I'm out of touch with
that type of reality.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Out of time, said Broncos Country Night back of Fish
