Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five six six nine zeros or kawe commas spirdal text line.
If you want to interact with us, thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Get to p J.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Locke for joining us earlier in the program. Interview me
up shortly, kow Colorado dot com. We got Rockies baseball
come up here at the bottom of the hour. They're
taking on the Boston Red Sox tonight. Will do that
for show me the money in just a matter of moments.
We have some breaking news here. Nicola Jokic has informed
the Nuggets he will not sign his contract extension this offseason.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And well, Dave and I think this is a good thing.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I mean, and so Susie and doest no surprise? Well
keep coming with him, hod of hot take like, oh,
this is how it's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Why would he not sign it now? Why would he
not wait for the most money next year?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
See, that's why we need to have her on more.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, logical logical hot takes.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
She makes sense. Still sweating states are case? Are you
saying people that are on the show don't often do that?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Or I don't think I said that?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, but she did not not you know anyways, man,
I can't confirm flying sometimes no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
But he we knew that the possible I work with
he sounds so good. Yeah good. There was the possibility
of him making eighty million more by waiting.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, so I.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Got a chance to make I mean, by radio standards,
maybe not eighty million, but eight million more if you
sign next year, as opposed to signing right.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Now, raising my hand, yeah, I am.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Too, both hands up. Yes see, that would be the case.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Although they're already and I'm seeing it here on Twitter
as we speak, mocks of Nikola Yokitchen Lakers gear as
a result of him not signing.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
Oh, that's not happen.

Speaker 7 (01:42):
No, no, I mean with good photoshopping skills.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
But ESPN guaranteed tomorrow it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
The only reason that I would disagree with you is
because this entire week, ESPN and ESPN two in the
more warnings carrying Wimbledon fair right, So they can't they can't.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
They can't make this into a story.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
The only the only one side of this that could
be a little bit tricky, nerve wracking tricky, is it
does I think it does add some pressure to the organization,
because you know, he's got two years left and then
I think a player option, right, so you play out
this year and then one year left in a player option.
So at least it does open up a possibility that

(02:28):
he's not here long term and he doesn't sign back
with the team if he doesn't like ultimately the moves
they made.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, well, I mean I guess theoretically that would be possible.
That would not be what I think will happen, because
the Nuggets can offer him more money than any other franchise, correct,
And I think he likes living in Denver when he's
not living in Serbia, So I mean I would be
I think the Nuggets would really have to screw this

(02:56):
thing up too fast. Forward to next year and all
of a sudden, Jokic decides, I'm not signing the long
term thing. I'm going to become a free agent. I mean,
I think they would. They would have to so damage
that relationship and screw this thing up next year in
terms of players and coaches and everything else.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
And I just don't see I don't see it happening.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
And everything that we've heard, I mean, there's never been
a rumbling about any kind of bad blood, any kind
of you know, misunder You know, there's nothing between him
and the organization, so there's no reason to think that
he's looking over the shoulder and trying to go someplace else.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
So we'll stay optimistic for now.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Yes, it's what did stay optimistic.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
But I wanted to pass that along.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I don't think to this point, Dave, when we talked
about Nicole Jokic signing this extension, I think we're pretty
consistent thinking he was going to do this next year anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
So this is really isn't big news.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
The one thing I wanted to ask you guys this
this came out, an article came out today and they
ranked every team's NFL teams wide receiver, tied in and
running back groups.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
What do you think the Broncos fell on this list?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
All three together?

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Just basically your skill position group, you know, for each team?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Was this after the draft and free agency?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Or correct? Right now?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Now?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Where your rooms are wide receiver, tight end, and running back?

Speaker 5 (04:13):
I would say that without having considered this ever, this list,
I would say the Broncos is.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
This pro football focus?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
This is ESPN Okay, so.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
I would say probably, I'm gonna guess ESPN ranked the
tight end room wide receiver room and running back room
collectively out of the other thirty one teams. I say,
the ESPN ranked the Broncos fifteenth.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Oh twenty third for Optimist.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Twenty third, twenty third. They were thirtieth last year.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Who's behind them?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I can do that they are. There were thirties last
year and their twenty fourth the year before twenty three?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Is there are Are there any playoff teams from last
year ranked behind the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, oh, of Buffalo Bill's twenty eight and that's it.
Everybody else missed the playoffs over top of the draft.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
So you know, it's so remarkable you say fifteenth, and
I when I opened this article this morning, my first
thought is like, oh, they're going to be so low.
I mean, they have like very little name recognition on
this team.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
You know. JK. Dobbins was the more recent addition.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
But the fact is that Sean Payton doesn't seemingly care
about the name recognition part of this.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
If they wanted that, they could have done that.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
They could have made a play for Cooper Cup or
something like that, and that would have ranked them probably
fifteenth on this list. But Sean Payton is sort of
thumbed his nose that the notion that we need to
have name guys on this team.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Do you think he doesn't need the beauty queen.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
He can just yeah, work with what he has, doesn't
need a big, flashy name.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah. I guess I had such low expectations. It's funny
that why why do you think it was lower than
twenty three, four or twenty three?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I literally was like, I can see as Bill Barwell,
so I can see thirtieth, Like do you just have
you have Courtland Sutton and a bunch of you know,
late draft picks and guys that you know are kind
of not there's no household names.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
So you have bone X is a fact.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
You have Evan Ingram, you have JK. Dobbins, you have R. J. Harvey.
All three of those guys are new. So that that's
why I thought maybe maybe fifteen. But I mean, I
agree with Susane and you, I don't think matter of fact,
I don't even have to qualify it. I can guarantee
you Sean Payton does not give.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Two rats twin rats asses.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
About what ESPN or US for that matter, twin rats.
You know he's going to do it the way that
he believes gives them the best chance to win, and
based on how they played last year, I think he
can feel pretty confident that you know, his his process

(07:03):
and the formula.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Worked.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Now you've got to make it work and take another
couple of steps this year.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And a perfect example and even points us out. I
mean last year he ranked them thirtieth.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
How that turned out significantly better, right, And that's when
they had still had Tim Patrick here, and that's when
they had Josh Reynolds.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
But he says here, he says, I would not be
surprised to see Peyton get the most out of this group,
given his acumen. But this wouldn't be an imposing unit
in league average hands. But they're not in Lee average hands.
This has been designed. It is designed to be this.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
That's the part.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Like, I don't think you can separate that, right, Like,
if you're just saying on paper, this is what I
think this team is, it's like, but you have to
include the coach because the coach is the one they
hand picked. It.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Sure, it's I mean, it's the same reason. Really, if
you think back to a couple of years ago when
Sean McVeigh drafted Pooka Nikua. I mean I think that
was a fifth fifth round pick.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I mean the guy went to the Pro Bowl his
rookie season. He's now regarded as one of the better.
And I think he's a hybrid kind of guy, right,
I mean he'll dig out safeties, he'll I mean, he
would fit perfectly with what Sean Payton does here in Denver.
He's not he's he's you know, he's not a diva.
Throw it to him. He catches it. You cover him,

(08:29):
throw it to him. He still catches it a little
faster than you think digs out safeties.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
So yeah, I mean.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Coaches, their personalities and sort of their stamp are on
every single draft that their team makes and and certainly
every free agent that their team acquires.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
And POKK would be a fun name for you to
call touchdowns for Ranka Nikua.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You heard wh he's gonna be working in this year, right?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
No, oh, do we have some words we're working in
semple hands hands?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (09:01):
I like that, Yeah, I like that. That's a challenge.
We have the first preseason.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Game, No, no, no, we we we wait for the
games to count.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh, we wait for the games that counts.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Okay, it's like when they start, you know, you know
you're getting older when they start saying, so, how many
games actually if you broadcast for the Broncos, So I
don't count. I know some play by play guys do.
I don't count preseason games. I mean players don't. I
know the games were played, and yes you're broadcasting, but
players don't keep stats. Coaches don't keep stats on preseason games.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
So you don't count those as games that you've called.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know, the game, it's a it's a it's no,
it's a it's a practice game that doesn't count, and.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
So it's practice for us.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
To well you heard it.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Oh no, I know, trust me. I need like three
games to get ready on sideline.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
It was big. What do you remember about your first game?
Well that you can tell.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
No, I remember, you know too. We were we were
in Canton. That was my very first game.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
If we're at the at the Hall of Fame game
and so yeah, so I have to do the pregame
interview on the field and back then we didn't win
or lose, and so.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
I uh, the postgame yes, I want to.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Say pre game sorry, postgame interview. See, I still I
need pre season on the field, and so what was this.
I can't remember what his first name was. His last
name was Mohammed, Khalil Mohammad, right, Khalil Mohammad. So Khalil
had he had a big game, and you know he's
a rookie. Then I think too he was just brand new,
but he had a big game and that was like
who we had for you know, had the best stance.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
So let me just say this, let me interject of
an interview.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh, yes, I did, yes, I was so nervous and
I couldn't.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
I like, I called him Mohammad.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
At the end, I said, I got done with the interview,
and I said thank you Muhammad, And I was like,
oh my god, I just called him by his last name.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
And and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
If I said Mohammed Mohammad, or if I did I
say Mohammed, I might have said Mohammed Mohammad.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
That's Mohammed Mohammad.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Back to you, Dave, like, poor Khalil is probably like.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Like, hey, if I have an interview with Courtland Sutton,
hey Sutton, and Sutton, thank you appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
You know you always say calling him mister right. I
want mister Sutton.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Right, yeah, yeah, there's been a few. I definitely need
preseason to kind of get into swing things.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah, we all do.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
But you don't count them as games that you So
do you have a number of games regular and posted?

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Well, I mean you could because I had not missed one,
I mean knocking out Wood, So you could count up.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Games. That's that's the number.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
But the sixteen, now there's seventeen and there's well.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
They need to just go back and remember which one
that was.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yeah, right, but you can probably do that.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
You don't keep account I do not.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
You just won't scratches on your office wall.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
