07-02-25 KOA Sports Hour 3 with Shelby Harris

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up here at the top of the hour as
they're hosting the Astros. Five six six nine zero is
our KWA common Spirit health textallon. If you want to
interact with our program, get back into the Nuggets here
in just a little bit. I got a fun question
to ask you about what they've done here this offseason.
But Dave, we sort of touched on this topic a
couple of days ago when the trade went down with

(00:21):
Miami and Pittsburgh, Jayalen Ramsey, John news Smith, make I
Fitzpatrick ended up going to the Dolphins. I was thinking
about this today because we didn't really it was in
the midst of NBA free agency, the NBA MPJA trade
went down and kind of send everything in a different direction.
You aren't a huge fan of that for Pittsburgh. But

(00:43):
the question I have for you is it oftentimes when
stuff like that happens and it's being characterized as an
all in move, the Steelers are all in. This is
sending a message that we're all in. What does that
mean for a player like that? That's a fan thing,
that's a media thing. What does a player think is
an all in move?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I honestly, I don't think the majority players care about it,
and in today's world, I don't think the majority of
players really pay any attention or much attention to what,
you know, what guys in the media are talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
So, I mean, I get your point.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Does a player look at that and say, well, weren't
we all in last year?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I think I think it is a media driven
sort of characteristic and I don't I don't know really
how you would come to that conclusion based on sort
of that deal. I guess that you traded Minka Fitzpatrick,
who's a younger safety, and you get Jalen Ramsey who's

(01:45):
on the tail end of his career, and John new Smith,
who unless you're really sort of a big, big fan,
you might not even know who he is. He's pretty
good player. So maybe that was just the Steelers way
of trying to trying to sort of be proactive and say, hey,

(02:06):
the reason we did this because I'm sure, Steven, I'm
not sure. I'm guessing Steelers fans look at that and say,
wait a minute, you just traded Mika Fitzpatrick, who's one
of our best players, and he got a guy who's
been a good player but long in the tooth to
play corner and who is John new Smith?

Speaker 3 (02:24):
So maybe it's as simple as that.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, all in, all in that that's a This is
a loaded phrase, all in because in my eyes, like
as a as an NFL player, you're supposed to be
all in every year, you know what I mean, like
all in every So what's the difference. But I think

(02:48):
it's just a way to get fans excited. It's not
really four players. It's really more I think for the
I mean, like you said, immedia term, more for fans
and and just to get them excited about, you know,
the team. Because for me, if you were to say
all in, I've oh, you upgrade at the facilities, you
upgrade the locker room, you upgraded the player experience because

(03:11):
you want us to be more comfortable so we go
play better. Because your job, you know, every executive job,
and GM's job in general, is to make the best
team possible to give you the best product on the field.
So every year you're supposed to be all in. And
so that's not the all in part of But I
want to thinking about the owners and everyone being all in.

(03:32):
Owners being all in that, like how the Broncos are
building a brand new facility. You know, that's all in.
You know, our brand new stadium, that's all giving you
every all the recovery, you know, the modalities that you need.
That's going all in, but necessarily acquiring the players. You're
still just trying to obviously make the best team possible. Now,

(03:55):
this move is interesting. I'm very interested in if there
were something behind the scenes with Minka that I don't know,
because I think he's coming up on another deal in
a couple a year or two soon, So did you
not want to pay him? But then also, Jayalen Ramsey,
you didn't add any extra years on his deal. You
just gave him a little bit more money. So maybe
they're looking at this as all right, this is just

(04:17):
a one year thing and then we're going to blow
it up.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
And he's not even we talked about it on Monday,
like you kind of you're like Jalen Ramsey, he's good,
but he's not not that guy.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I think he's on the back end.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, Jalen Ramsey at one point was I think
one of the probably three or four best corners in
the league. Sure, but I don't feel that way anymore.
And it happens to everybody man, Jayden Ramsey, he still
shows up. Now would I give at thirty year corner
thirty year old corner for a twenty eight year old

(04:50):
safety and the safety can end up lasting longer unless
you have a plan to just make Jalen Ramsey a
safety after But this isn't Madden just can't just throw
people in to different positions and be like, oh, yeah,
you're going to be just as good there we Jaalen Ramsey.
You know the one thing I do love about his
game and he will play the run. He will you know,
So he does have the skill set to move to safety.

(05:11):
But that's time they're planning. I honestly just believe they
are honestly putting all the chips in a basket for
this year, and I think they may value Johnners Smith
a little bit more than than people might think, Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
He's a pro bowler from Miami.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Last year, I mean one of the there was a
bad season, yeah, player, it's a bad season, but he
came on strong, especially towards the tail end of the season.
Speaking of somebody that had been fantasy football, I'm definitely
aware of that.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
No. I just thought it was a fascinating concept.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Especially when you're thinking, oh, yeah, Steelers players all of
a sudden, like hey man, this front office, we're going
all in this year. Like I was like, I don't.
I can't imagine that's the case. I imagine fans get
excited about it. The more additions to the team, more talent.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
It doesn't really work out that like that with veterans,
Like when you try to go it's not like other
sports where it works out when you just add a
bunch of veterans, you know what I mean, That's not
how the NFL really works. You have to like for
them to be added Aaron Rodgers, John Smith, and you
know they're making these moves and and these a bunch

(06:18):
of older players, but you still got to rely on
these young guys because what you did, it's you're making
them take a back seat again. And then now what
you're doing too is now a young guy has to
go out there and play safety too. And so you
though you might have you know, Joey Porter, Darius Slay
and Jayalen Ramsey at corner, now you got a whole

(06:40):
safety you do, and the safety that's your center fielder.
The guy is supposed to make everybody right. So we'll see.
But Minga had been doing a hell of a job
pretty much his whole career there.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
And I wasn't here for this last week, Dave, so
I don't know what you guys said when we found
out Aaron Rodgers told Pat McK he was going to
be his last year, right? Do you think that adds
inspiration to a team like is in, Hey, let's play
play a certain way because this is his last year.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Want to send him out on a high note.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Do you think that that really matters all that much
that he announced that this is his last year. I
remember ray Lewis announcing his last year and that seemed
to really fire up and that was like a calling
card for that defense that year.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
But ray Lewis had been there his entire career, right,
and so he had earned that. No, don't I don't
think with Aaron Rodgers saying more than.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Likely this is going to be it.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
What will excite the Steelers' locker room is when the
veteran leaders of the team. I mean, I'm assuming this
will happen when they see in practice or they see
in a game where Aaron Rodgers makes three or four

(07:56):
throws where you're like in the pocket and you're watching
this like, that's what we'll excite the Steelers T J.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Watt.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm assuming he's going to come to camp eventually with
a new deal. But they they've got they've got veterans
on defense. Trust me on this, those defense defensive players
are going to be watching Aaron Rodgers. What they want
to see is something that they have not seen at
that from that position for the last several years. When

(08:24):
he when he I think he still can when he
stands in the pocket and rips one and they moved
down and the offense goes down the scores, it's going
to be like, hmm, okay, that's something I can get behind.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
What this rarely happens, and I'm very interesting. It's very interesting,
But I don't know if people ever met for them.
Fitzpatrick was traded from the Dolphins to.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
The Steelers and in an awful trade.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
The Dolphins got nothing out of that.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Well, he said he would he wanted out.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Man in the NFL, they don't care about that. How
many people you you know, how often people go upstairs
and say I want to get traded and they literally
say get out my office. You know, they don't care, Like,
this is not NBA. Your your request don't matter. Do
you want to get paid?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, Miles Garrett did, and.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Was he actually being serious or did he just get
a paid a pay raise because I'm not gonna go no,
but that so now he's going back, And so I
think it's it's just a very that just very rarely happens.
Sure in the NFL, but with Jayda Ramsey, who's been

(09:33):
traded a couple of times, and which also is another
rare thing that happens in NFL, you really don't get
traded that often. I think this brings I think they're
trying to tell their team. They're like, yes, like we're
going all like we're not just loading up on offense
for Aaron Rodgers. You know, we're looking to make peaces
body throne. You know. It's it's all about team fits

(09:55):
and Minco was a big part of that defensive culture.
And so people, some coaches and some gems don't realize it,
but like removing one player out of this, out of
the equation can completely change the outcome and it completely
change your defense of course, and of course, so we'll see,
but once again, you have to be It's a very

(10:18):
interesting thing because once you get a corner that starts
hitting over thirty. But I'm I'm a guy that unless
your play tells me you've been declining, I don't care
what your age is really because I feel like we
put too much emphasis on age. But really what you
need to look at is their injury history. That is

(10:38):
what determines if they're going to fall off as a player.
Not necessarily all they're thirty, they're thirty two, you know
what I mean, they're older. No, have they have a
significant injury the last couple of years, because that's how
they stay the consistent player for longer. Let Clay's campbell.
The thing that he's avoided over all these years, though,
is a serious injury. That's why he's able to he's

(11:00):
playing at the level that he is.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
They let me ask you something.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I was reading something about Jalen Ramsey and they were
talking about how he he has a focus issue, which
is a fascinating thing when you know you're considered an
elite player. But they were talking about how he plays
better when the team is better, and I'm like, Okay,
well that sort of makes sense, I guess. But he
tends to be more focused when the team is better.

(11:26):
And like last year with Miami, the team was not
very good and he was not very good, and and
so there's this belief that this trade will reinspire him
to get back to playing at the level that he was.
I mean, you brought up his age and all those things.
I think that that doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
How common is that?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
How common is it is it is a player's personality
or they're setting change like that, especially if the team
is good or bad.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I do think the team's success plays a part in
sort of the individual players' mindset.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
You try to not let that happen. But and we've
talked about it before.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I mean, if you're you know, you're expecting a really
great year and you look up and at the end
of ten games you're three and seven, you're still holding
out hope, Hey, we can get this turned around. Coaches
are telling you we can get this turned around. Because
I mean, but when it becomes apparent that it's not
going to get turned around, can the concentration level of

(12:33):
even great players start to wane? Yes, are there players
that will look at this in the last four games
of the season, and we have absolutely no chance to
make the playoffs. Are there players that will look at
that and say, I'm I'm also going to try to
stay healthy. Sure, I don't want to have offseason surgery.

(12:54):
I've had that the last two years. Is that a
normal kind of thing to try to fight off from
a mental standpoint, Yes, I've seen players sort of take
that route too. So Jalen Ramsey, you know, is still
is still skilled, but just watching him last year, he
to me he didn't look like the same guy. Now, maybe,

(13:16):
as you said, maybe he goes to Pittsburgh and you know,
maybe it's it's gonna be great there for him. I
think the chances of Pittsburgh, you know, having a great,
great year, i'd have to see. I think they could
be a playoff team and maybe that's enough to get
get Ramsey back and focused.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I mean, they're gonna lose twice to Cleveland, and you
know this.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Man, this is what's happened the last time Cleveland beat
Pittsburgh twice, I believe.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
Okay, what's funny is we literally just had to converse funny,
you don't have the answer. No, weally talked about this
because we beat them first last year, right in Cleveland
and so wet, and then and then we were talking
about this and like, oh yeah, let's go back and
do it again, and they whipped us.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
I mean, I can't even remember.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
I think it's been in the last it's been okay
a long time, GTS.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
I can tell you in my Brown's career, we never
beat them.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Twice, never swept them. To see them now, they.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Were Super Bowl champions, you know, for a six year stretch,
four times steel curtain, and they had some dudes.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
But we beat them once, but never twice.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Two thousand at listens in the two thousands here in
two thousand and nine.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Okay, if you all getting them twice this.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Year, damn skippy.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Oh I love your optimism.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Hey, if you don't believe you're going to go on
every game or win every game, if you as an athlete,
if you don't go into every game thinking that you're
going to win every game, then this is not the
profession for you.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I like it that you're thinking you're just going to
break a seventeen year streak.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Hey, seventeen not about to get the eighteen. Nobody's Cleveland Brown, Nobody,
nobody puts Gator in the corner baby. Nobody puts baby
in a corner in a quarter Gator got.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Her, got her, got her, Okay got When it comes
to the clean brown though, like I always.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Say this, though, it's easy to you know, assume the worst.
But then every year it's it's a it's a it's
a crap shoot. You never know that we went to
the playoffs two years ago. Nobody expect to us to
be anything, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So it's quarter I told you you went through five quarterbacks.
Like any team it's through five quarterbacks in a season.
You'd be like, it's probably not a good year. But
you went to the playoffs, and you want a playoff game.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
We didn't. Damn, Brian, I just will I misremembered. I
wish I wish I could use your memory for for
a fact, because we got.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
We drove through like two picks sixes. Yeah, you know
this was an ugly game.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah, I bet if you guys wuld have faced J.
Stroud the next year. No, the issue was I did.
The issue about that game was we played them like
two weeks earlier, and but C. J. Stroud was hurt.
So we played case Keenum and we beat him down
and you know, everybody. You know, a lot of people
are like, oh, we're about to go beat him. And
I was like, hey, if you're not, the kid looks good.

(16:31):
And guess what he torched us? Torched us?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, now I remember it, all right, Well, I'm sorry
to bring that up. Yeah, that's it was an incredible year.
And and Nick Nick got heard that year, right Jr.
Own forward was tremendous.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, yeah, it was good.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Okay, I well remember from a fantasy.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
So it's another situation of like a veteran coming into
a team that is supposed to be a team that
you think has every whole accounted for accounted for it.
So you got Nick Chubb and running back, I'm thinking,
all the Shaun's gonna be back. We got who do
we have a receiver? Back? Then?

Speaker 3 (17:09):
We had Coop Coop?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
And so I'm thinking and O line we always we
always had a good line. Then defense you got Miles,
you got Zadarius, got Obo like and then I go
into it and now I'm like, all right, like great,
we got j ok Nzel like some of the best
corners with an injury at the injury at the injury.
So that's what happens though with those type of teams, though,

(17:33):
is it's hard to It looks great on paper, but
you got to make it through seventeen games.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
By the way, head of text from the three to
three oer, which is Cleveland, Shelby is j OK cleared
for play?

Speaker 4 (17:44):
You know you gotta have to talk to j Ok
about that one. My name is Shelby.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Harris breaking not not breaking the news on here. All right,
we'll get back. I do want to ask you, uh
I saw this float around on Twitter today. Did the
Nuggets through their offseason moves make this team on paper
better than the championship team?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I ask you guys that when.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
We come back, by the way, good job saying that
with your chest we are gonna beat and sweep the
Steelers this year.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Good stuff. I like that, say with the chest, gotta believe.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
That five six six nights, zeros or Kawae common Spirit
health text line. If you want to interact with us,
we got Rockies Baseball coming to the top of the
air the storting to announce the All Star players.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Imagine these are just starters right away.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
But if we do see a Rocky show up on here,
like Hunter Goodin, for example, we will talk about that
in a matter of moments. But I saw this float
around on Twitter earlier today, and I want to credit
my guy.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Ryan Blackburn for it.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
He said that he believes that the Nuggets on paper
are better this year than their championship team.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I thought it was worth asking do you agree. I'll
start with you.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
I think if you could again on paper, I think
you could say yes.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I think I would say yes. I think I like.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
The Michael Porter Junior deal maybe more than some. I
think what Cam will bring you is is good offense.
Now he's got to stay healthy and people have pointed
out he missed more games the last few years than Michael.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Porter Junior did.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
But if he's healthy, which I have no reason to
believe he will not be, I think he'll be an
efficient scorer. He'll give you some of the things that
MPJA gave you in terms of perimeter scoring. And I
think he'll give you a willing defender. I think his
handle is better. I think he's just maybe for physical reasons,
he's just a better all around basketball player. And then

(19:53):
I like, you know, Valanchunis, that deal was a surprise
to me. And I think the fact that you have
a guy like that and as your backup post player,
guy that can stretch your defense. Pretty good three point shooter,
good rebounder, shot blocker inside. He's seven foot, he's wide
as a refrigerator. And and I also, you know, I

(20:18):
like the three point shooter. So I I liked I
liked the deals they've made.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
I really do. I love them. I think Cam Johnson
is a better number three than Michael Porter Jr. And
I just think that he's a better third option. I
think Michael Japorter Jr. The way he plays, he's more
of a second option, and he or even the first option.
He he wants to get his shot up, you know.
And so that's why I believe Cam Johnson is a

(20:46):
better number three. Like he he he will take that
role and run with it. But also I think this
another team is better because the NBA is better. I
think it's the teams are better, so everyone's everyone's teams
are getting getting a little bit better. I necessarily didn't
believe that just because you had all these max players
actually meant you had with the good team. It was

(21:07):
just all about coming in the free agency at the
right time. But I think I really believe that the
moves that this Nuggets team has made. I believe in them,
and you can you can just tell from the excitement
of people around Denver that I think they agree with them,
agree with the moves too, because after that playoff run,
you knew something had to change, and I think this

(21:30):
was probably the change that most people agreed with, was
trading Michael Porter Jr. But then to get a player
like Cam Johnson back, who's been a highly you know
they've been everyone's been trying to trade for him for a
year the last couple of years. So obviously other teams
know what the Nuggets has got and and I think
it was a good trade. I think the player that

(21:51):
the Nets are getting in return, like a Port Jr.
And that role that he will be there, I think
he's going to have a great season there too.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I think you've got to go through it because because
initially there's just like wow that you know, there's so
much chemistry stuff that we just don't know. And even
going into that championship season, you thought they were a
good team, but you didn't know, right, you didn't know
what it was gonna be in facts again, coming back
on me for a second, you had to talk to
me off the ledge going into the postseason, because I
was freaking out because they were they were I went

(22:21):
tanking down the stretch, but there were resting players they
weren't interested in when they already locked up the one seed.
You remember this, and I was like, this is this.
This team is not playing championship basketball. They're not They're
not even close.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
And you said relax or something to that effect.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
So I can see that the conversation has merit in
the sense of, well, say, you know Yon's valentiunis.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
I do think it's an upgrade center over DeAndre Jordan,
Like there's no question even.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
The version they had in the championship here, right, I think, yes,
you know it's Valentin is an upgrade. And then you
get into sort of a Jeff Green versus Tim Hardaway conversation,
and that's pretty close.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, no, I mean Tim Tim Hardaway. I think the
Nuggets signed him as a perimeter score, right, Jeff Green
was not that's Jeff Green was a guy that could
give you some quality minutes off the bench, right, I'm
still at his age. It was a good athlete, could
have could have plenty of moments in a game where

(23:21):
he'd knocked down some shots and he just was a
I mean, Jeff Green was a really good basketball.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Brought the attitude.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, you know, I Hardaway is gonna cast from three,
I think in a way, and I think I think
he'll be efficient with it and shoot a good percentage
at least that's what his career says.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
So again, it's not to say this is an on
paper conversation. It's not to say that doesn't have some merit.
I just sort of want to see kind of how
it all plays out. But I do like their options,
and I also like that there's room with David Adelman,
at least is what he says for some of the
younger guys to get some minutes early on. Now, they
got to earn that because you're going to go to
the Vets if they're not if they're not playing well.

(23:59):
But you get yourself some of those hedges there and
versus Brown.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
You know, again, though I don't think you make these
moves thinking you're you know, the young guys will still
have the opportunity to show, and the Vets are going
to be sort of the insurance policy on the bench.
I don't think so. I mean, I don't think so.
I think it's the other way around. I think Hardaway
gets quality minutes early and Strather you hope, if he's here,

(24:26):
can continue to develop into a guy that can be
counted on as a perimeter scorer and in a plus defender,
which he really wasn't when he when he had playing time.
So I mean to me, Hardaway is in the is
in the mix and the top eight or nine guys
that are going to get the lion's share of tick

(24:48):
right from the jump.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yeah, I just it's tough because you saw flashes from
Peyton Watson, you saw flashes from Strawther. It's just it
wasn't enough. And so I'm a big believer that I was.
I would assume you're not signing the Vets for no reason.
And also they're not signing here to be just sitting

(25:11):
on the bench and not playing.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
No, no, no, I don't think that's I don't think that's
the goal.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
They're coming in. I think they're gonna I think they're
going to be the guys who are relied on early.
Now they now if the young guys can go and
they start showing some promise, then you start seeing them
play a little bit more. But it's going to be
the Vets to lose.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Listen, you guys are right, You guys are right in this.
I guess I look at it in terms of the CBA,
and that's what I keep coming back to. And maybe
it's because Calvin Booth, you know, sends me a text
every so often just telling me, hey, can you keep
pushing this out there?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, telling me what's up? I will?

Speaker 4 (25:43):
I will.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
He doesn't really by the way, people were like, well,
you know people, Yeah, the propagandast that's who I am. No,
because with this CBA, you do need your young players
to develop you.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
I mean you have to.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Like it's like it's a lot flood of your team,
the drafted players that you brought in.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
If they're the right players. And again I tell you.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
If I'm Peyton Watson, I'm spending a lot of time
at the free throw line in the offseason because Peyton Watson,
I mean clearly has the athletic ability that you covet.
He can be an excellent defensive player. His two things,
he's got to work on being a more consistent offensive threat, and.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
He's he's got to be a better free throw.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
There's no reason that kid should not be a much
much better free throw shooter. The King Kong amongst cornerbacks. God,
they would.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Look at that, look at you and be like, oh,
what does that means?

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, I still got those.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
If he was as he, I could get some deep
tissue stuff going.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I don't think, heyms, I had a joke. I'm just
not the whole backup.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I know. I love my Browns, all right, we.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Got Rockies Baseball.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Come if you're at the top of the hour, who's yeah,
I don't know. He you know, it's so funny.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
There's a lot of people that just don't like me
or don't give me whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's fine. But but he specifically we'll do we'll do
two three hours on football. That's what he wants to hear,
his football. And then as soon as we do anything
NBA Nuggets or whatever.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
And this is the midst of the NBA free agency.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
We really have talked quite a bit about football today,
right we have.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
But quite literally the moment I said, hey, I want
to ask you guys this question about the Nuggets. Oh,
we got a page of text telling me how much
I should be fired.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
And you should be fired. Yeah, yeah for being a propaganda's.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Oh my goodness, but let's talk about this whole That
Logan call sounds like a broadcast.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
From World War Two. His long reach and supple hands.
Logan was like King Kong, I'm on corner back.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yes, that's the NFL films, like all of the NFL films.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, really seriously, he's right after the Normandy invasion. No, just.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
That, said John.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
He looked at me for saying, like, wait, wait, I
started doing math in my head. Forty Yeah, we were a.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Little awful that one.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, we're uh, we're not gonna know, probably tonight as
far as the All Star votes.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
But Hunter Goodman, he is having a hell of a season, is.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I know, in the midst of a nineteen win team,
sometimes it's it's tough to find positives.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
But you know me, Dave, I'm gonna always try to
find positives. Can't help it. And Hunter Goodman absolutely has
got to be in there. Yeah, every team.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Gets one, but Hunter Goodman's got Jake Bird has an
argument too, as a reliever.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
I don't think they're going to get two.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Wins, so, I mean, but just looking at all the
other pitchers in the National League, I would assume that
men's where it's gonna

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Take your brewers nonsense out of here.
