Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to it Broncos Country tonight,but with all Brian Dick Ferguson, Grant
Smith, He's taken on the Dadstonight in San Diego. Father's excuse me
rightanwhich is rolling his eyes? Didyou would you rather have said something else?
You think you're so clever, likeyou're the first person ever to say
something like that. Listen, youdo your show, you do a great

(00:21):
show. That's just you know,the dad's thing, the dad's joke.
If you will a little on thenose. It's tired, it's exhausted.
I'm good you you can just calledthe podres like you're grown up. Scholars
maintained that the definition was lost yearsago. You just think you're so clever
now at the time. I am, and I know that I am.

(00:43):
That's the problem. That's that's theproblem. Is you fly right right right.
I'm sorry, I'm in your spacefront, aren't you? Am?
I Friday? I believe we badgeredyou into it. Oh yeah, that's
right, I am. You getthe usual for me of the M and
m's and all that. You know, my special request eminems no green eminem's.

(01:04):
Yeah, we know we got yourcontract right, Rat's already got it.
I go into severe rage. Youundert you understand, mister Pip and
Red, Yeah, we understand.Okay, gets it, We get the
whole rider. Yeah, we're good. All right, Thank your highness.
He's called me your highness because it'sa little laughter. Four twenty brought those
countries and I had five six,six nine zeros a text line. Somebody's

(01:27):
asking me if I saw a fellowmedia member on press row when I was
at the ASS game. Yes,I saw Darren McKee, uh media member
on on press row. He wasthere at the ASS game. I believe
I may have photo bombed his hisvideo thing a few times. I don't
know why BCT was not posted yesterday. For those of you asking, We

(01:48):
had quite a few people that wereasking about that. So we'll figure that
out and get that corrected. Iwasn't here, so's aasscouver about that one.
The man the mustache, the legendswould never never do such a thing.
We'll figure that out. A coupleof differ stories out there. You
guys, see all the stuff onJustin Fields that's coming out there. Not
that this is new, but basicallyhe's getting roasted in real time by people

(02:08):
who used to coach him. Uhas as he has moved on to be
the unquestioned backup in Pittsburgh slash puttreturner slash kick return. We'll let this
thing go, man, Why becauseit doesn't always have to be every negative.
Justin Field's story makes the air forBroncos country tonight. I don't know

(02:29):
if if I six six times yeo? Do your listeners love that you pile
on Justin Fields as much as youdo, plus piling on and more like
reiterating how right I was about everything? Is your shoulder sore from windmill dunkey.
I've got backpatter itis, a littlelittle elbow condition there. I'm saying
again, you know that the dad'sthing, the dunking on Justin Fields,

(02:53):
be better, That's all. That'sall I'm asking. Take take the high
road one time, take the highroad, get in a grand understand the
right's more and I'm cole then Benwill never take the high road. You
can't see what I'm doing in studioright now. Uh yeah, Justin Fields
has coaches coming out now saying thatyou know he was avoiding really doing anything

(03:15):
while he was there. Nick Folesapproached him and tried to chat him up
in the film room and get himgoing on some stuff, and he basically
just ignored Nick Foles, a SuperBowl witting quarterback, continue to mess around
on his phone and didn't do anything. He got coaches that are they're saying
they hated each other. That's whenNick Foles was done with him. That's
why the room was toxic, allthat kind of stuff. I I this,

(03:38):
this lines up with some stuff thatI'd heard. That's why I keep
going back to the well on this. This lines up with stuff that I'd
heard for a while, and Ikept getting pushback, I guess for in
Chicago from Chicago media. Now allof a sudden, you know they've they've
done the about face. But yeah, when you get three years of pushback

(03:59):
on something and then you know,league sources come out and back up everything
you were saying, Yeah, youtend to want to strut around a little
bit. Don't you think that thesituation he's in now could be perfect for
him to kind of rebuild that imagethough with Mike Tomlin and behind Russ Yeah,
I think so. I Mean,here's the thing, Like, the
thing that bothers me is the amountof people that are saying that Justin Fields

(04:21):
has a shot at that job.Justin Fields has no shot at being the
Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback unless Russell Wilsongets hurt. I've talked to people up
there. I know people on thatstaff. Nick knows people on that staff.
Justin Fields has no shot at beingthe starting quarterback unless Russell Wilson gets
hurt or falls off a cliff asa quarterback. You know, I it's

(04:48):
and it's it's not that I haveanything personal against Justin Field. I don't
what my personal acts to grind waswith all the people who kept telling me
I didn't know what it was talkingabout. And now it comes out from
from his former coaches and former teammatesexactly what was going on. And this
goes back to patzer Tan getting draftedhere in Denver and how I was adamant

(05:12):
that the Denver Broncos had made theright call in drafting Pats are Tan,
and everybody and their mother was sendingme every negative thing, saying I didn't
know what I was talking about.They messed up by not drafting Justin Fields.
Well, Justin Fields with ten andtwenty eight is the starter. Oh,
by the way. Every other starterin that era, including Andy Dalton,
Tyson, pagent, Trevor Simeon,et cetera, went six and seven,

(05:34):
same supporting cast, same coaches.When ten and twenty eight is the
starter and got shipped off for asix rounder. That's all they could get
for him to go back up.Russell Wilson with the Pittsburgh Steelers a quarterback.
The Broncos are paying fifty million dollarsnot to play for him, So
don't give me this, don't getthis not and Broncos messed up by taking

(05:54):
Justin. It was a dumb take. Then it's a dumb take. Now
draft good players and the rest willtake it of itself. George Peyton went
out drafted pats Or Tan. Hedid make the bold move in the face
of overwhelming media and fans scrutiny.He drafted the star player instead of the
bad quarterback five six, six ninezeros A text line. Speaking of that

(06:16):
text line from the seven to oneto nine, Ben piles on Justin fields
but gives leeway to Zach Wilson.Make it make sense. Leeway am I
giving to Zach Wilson. I literallywon't let my mom visit the City of
Denver. No. I mean,I mean, Zach Wilson's a reclamation project.
Do I expect anything from him?No? If he turns into something
cool, I'll say this. Imean, if Zach Wilson hadn't been drafted

(06:40):
by the Jets at number two,he would have been drafted by the Niners
at number three. Everybody off thatShanahan Tree was enamored of him. For
whatever reason, he didn't work out. I think we I think we'd be
singing a whole different tune if hewould have been drafted by the forty nine.
I believe so too. In fact, I believe that his growth was
stunted by the fact that Greg Napplepassed away in that tragic bicycling accident.

(07:03):
Because there was nobody on that Jetstaff that had never developed a quarterback or
running offense or any that kind ofstuff. You had Lafleur's brother and a
bunch of first timers out there.Nap was supposed to be the guy.
A Nap had developed quarterbacks, befor quite a few of them. He
was there for Michael Vick, MattSchaub, Greg Napps had been around,

(07:26):
and so that growth that Zach Wilsoncould have had with that experience steadying hand
to guiding through some of that stuffwasn't there. Does that mean that Zack
Wilson's gonna turn anything. I don'tknow. Zack Wilson hasn't been particularly great
so far. He did beat theBroncos last year. Justin Fields didn't take
that for whatever it's worth. SoI just, I mean, the frustration

(07:53):
there is just the culmination of acouple of years of people, you know,
lying through their teeth and then youknow, not showing back up to
collect. There's kind of like thisguy from the nine seven Oh says,
I don't know what I'm talking about. I throw stuff at a wall and
hope something stays, which, ofcourse crap. I always love when people
say that, Like your your complaintis that I'm the world's luckiest guesser.
That's what you really think. I'mthe world's luckiest guesser. That's the insult

(08:16):
you're throwing my way. Good Lord. I just and I'm not gonna get
worked up about it, because Imean, I don't care somebody I don't
somebody I don't know and who veryobviously doesn't know me, he doesn't like
me. Who know oh no,I just I mean, like, you

(08:39):
know, what are you gonna do? Do? Like the people on the
internet lie about my military service.Okay, the next thing that I own
nine SEVENO says that's why Ryan theflannel boys on the sports do and none.
You know, Ryan's on the sportsbecause he's a talented broadcaster. I'm
a hilarious amateur at this, tryingmy best. I've never been a drive,

(09:05):
I've never driven a show before.This is this is a new thing
for me. Bryan is a radioprofessional. He's been doing this for years.
He's good at it. He earnedthat three h three guys. You
think bone Nicks is going to startfor the Broncos this year? That's the
question everybody keeps asking. And Ithink it would be a disappointment. I
mean, I think he will startat some point this year. The question

(09:26):
is whether or not he's starting weekone, and I think it would be
a disappointment if he was not.If he's not starting week one, yeah,
if you if you are drafted twelfthoverall and you don't beat out Zach
Wilson and Jarrett Stidham, I wouldsuggest that that there would be that would
be a major disappointment, and Iwould suggest that the fan base would be

(09:50):
disappointed, the coaching staff would bedisappointed. If bo Nix was not the
starter week one, there would bethere will be disappointment. But if he's
not ready, wouldn't you rather sethim for the first four or five six
weeks. I'm with you on that, and yes I would if you can't
start him, I'm just saying thatit would be a disappointment. FIDE six

(10:13):
six nine zeros of text time.We got a lot of a lot of
questions about Rookie Camp this weekend.I'll say this, I don't put stock
in one or two Rookie camp manymini camp practices. I just don't.
I mean, eighty percent of theguys out there are not even gonna make
the ninety man. Eighty percent ofthe guys that are playing at Rookie Mini

(10:35):
Camp aren't aren't even going to bea training camp. They're gonna be selling
insurance in a couple of weeks.Now, there's anything wrong to sell it.
Insurance, no more profession. Thepoint that I'm trying to make,
though, is to say, youknow, bullet, Okay, he didn't
look bad, he didn't look likea world beater out there. I mean,
I didn't see a guy that's readyto go toe to toe with Pat
Mahomes. He looked all right.Completed passes, balls didn't really hit the

(10:58):
ground. There were a couple ofballs. I thought the placement was a
little bit behind some guys, Butreally it's a function of not knowing the
guys that you're throwing to. Itat being a first real practice, So
I'm not I'm not discouraged or encouragedby any of that. I don't render
judgments on how guys are doing untilwe get about two weeks in a camp.

(11:18):
You get you get five or sixpractices under your belt, eight practices
und your belt, you can startstart to see it takes shape. You've
been around, you've been doing itlong enough you could see it, you
know, take shape. Well,I think what you can tell from rookie
mini camp is who doesn't belong.But it's hard to tell who does belong
because they're not going up against anyof their future Teammatesake Watson was obviously faster

(11:41):
than everybody. Sma looked like abowling ball with knives sticking out of it,
you know, I mean, therewere there were things that you could
see, you know, you're justlike, okay, But to put that
in perspective, Drew Sanders looked likea man among boys last year, and
then he gets amongst the other men, right, and then he got amongst
the other men and all of asudden, So there's a little differ story.
But I'm just saying like he lookedlike an absolute machine in rookie mini

(12:03):
camp last year. So I Imean, I don't, I don't put
much stock in that. I know, I've seen all this the commentary and
everything else, uh, you know, on on on Twitter, and I
just I don't. I mean,it was one practice. I'm not I'm
not jumping to a conclusion. Youknow, it was it was. It

(12:24):
was fascinating the quarterback battle between TeddyBridgewater and Drew Lock because on performance,
Drew Lock won that battle. Andit wasn't exactly close either, but Teddy
Bridgewater was steady and the veteran andthat's what VI could pat Sherman had wanted.
Sherman worked with him before, andyou know, so that's they got
what they wanted. They even triedto set Teddy Bridgewater up through the script

(12:48):
to make him look way better.The first day fans were out of camp,
Teddy had his worst day at camp, ended up throwing a couple of
interceptions and it made the whole,the whole boondoggle even worse. So I
mean, I just don't put muchinto it till we get a couple of
weeks here. I will say thefirst year that Russ was here, I

(13:09):
was a little underwhelmed. I guessby the way the offense looked with Hackett
against a defense we've gotten about aweek week and a half in a camp
like man, is this is thissupposed to look like this? Because this
doesn't look right well, and aswe saw throughout that entire season, haven't
really looked right right. But Iwas giving the benefit of the doubt where
I perhaps shouldn't have five six sixnights. Yo. Somebody says I have

(13:33):
a fifty four waist twenty length pant, and sir, you clearly have never
seen me before fifty four waist hadto cut that in half a twenty length
pant. Good lord, what isthe shortest gene that made like a twenty
eight? I guess I wear athirty two length, so I think that's
probably the common shortest. But yougot to get them. You know,

(13:56):
they could make a special order foryou. Yeah, well, I mean,
but why long legs that I don'tI like? Uh, I don't.
I don't like my jeans to youknow how your jeans like they get
them to baggy at the bottom,the like hang over, then you step
on them at the heel. I'dsee how I hate that. I like
the jeans to fit exactly right thereat the ankle. Yeah, that's how
I am now too. I stillremember though, back in the day,
growing up, when baggy jeans,the the jingko or whatever it goes.

(14:20):
Oh my goodness, yeah, backin the night of parsailing pants, like
the hammer pants of blue jeans.You're too young to remember hammer pants,
but that that's uh yeah, Ihave six six nine zeros. The text
line, I appreciate all the thethe encouraging stuff, guys. I just
you know, I saw somebody uhrunning their mouth over the internet or over

(14:41):
the text line or whatever it was. This is what happens. We get
anonymous cowards that do stuff like thatall the time. He usually agree with
Benbody's wrong on that one. Idon't know what that refers to, but
if you would elaborate. I'd behappy to get into it a little bit
more. Chasing from Utah. Yeah, Stacy said, I was listening to

(15:01):
the draft that night when everybody thoughtthey were drafting fields big alice jumpers for
Joy Benjamin nailed at PS two.Yeah. Arena Football League is eyeing Jeff
Fisher as its commissioner. The formerTitans and Rams head coach. Fisher's currently
only sixty six years old. Bythe way, a lot of people think
he's older than he's really not.He's uh with ownership group of the Arena

(15:24):
League's Nashville Cats. That's Cats witha K, because I guess they wanted
to be creative, also with aK. Some of the league's owners want
Fisher to replace current commissioner Lee Hutton, who has been an abject failure in
restarting the Arena League. The fledgingLeague began with sixteen teams, but the
Minnesota Myth, Philadelphia's Soul, IowaRampage, and Georgia Force have all folded.

(15:48):
Twelve teams currently remain in operation.Fisher, coach to the Houston Oilers
and Tennessee Titans for seventeen seasons,is the winningest coach in franchise history.
Coach of the ninety nine team thatwent to the Super Bowl, finished one
hundred and forty two and one hundredand twenty with the team. He also
coached the the Rams for five seasonsas well. The Arena League. I

(16:15):
mean, look, I love springleague football, but it feels like we've
had one too many of these fora while and that they all just kind
of need to get their act consenttogether, consolidated about ten teams and go
from there. The Arena League wassupposed to be on the NFL network too,
that contract fell apart. The commissioner'sbeen unavailable. They've just been an

(16:36):
abject disaster of a launch, whichis interesting because most of these leagues have
had a pretty successful launch and thenfallen off, you know, sort of
afterwards. The current UFL, whichis the merger of the old UFL and
the USFL excuse me, and XFLdoing pretty well. That's something like twenty
thousand people at the Saint Louis game. Yeah, but what about the other

(16:56):
cities. Saint Louis is dying forfootball. San Antonio has done pretty well,
and they've they've also been been dyingfor a football team. They don't.
Okay, I think the lowest attendantstotal I saw was like sixty six
hundred, which that's not a goodnumber. You know, you need to
be doubling that if you have aviable a second of it. No,
my buddy Luis Perez plays in itstill, so you know, he's the

(17:17):
all time Spring League goat. Heplayed in all of them. Is he
gonna get any chances in the NFL? You got a couple of coffee with
the Rams, Okay, yeah?You got Tim Jenkins. Uh yeah,
basically basically got the the you know, which is funny because I know Luis
through Tim, so let's you know, that's that's kind of how that goes.
But we've got the schedule release showtomorrow, guys. You guys gonna

(17:40):
want to be here for that.Uh, Broncos tickets are gonna go on
sale and approximately six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but we're gonna have him free.
All you gotta be doing, isyou gotta do is listen to the schedule
release show right here on Kowa bemyself, Dave Logan, the Gal,
Ryan Edwards. I'll wear my sizefifty four or twenty genes for Ducus on

(18:02):
the text line there, Mike McGlincheyalso know Mike, Mike conjising, We're
gonna have somebody else as well.I'm not sure who just yet. I
talked to UH on the way in. I guess I talked to Patrick over
a to Broncos. He said MikeMike glincher was gonna be joining us,
but he said Yelo said they gotsomebody else, but they didn't know who
it was at the time. Sothere's apparently gonna be somebody besides Mike,
mystery guests. The mystery guests,you know how we love that on this
show, So there's gonna be there. Coulda be somebody else as well,

(18:23):
but we definitely have Magic Micha mcglinchy. Get a chance to UH to talk
to him about UH last year andwhat he's looking forward to that transition this
year, what he thinks about scheduleand all that. Some of those have
already sort of leaked out a littlebit. We'll talk a little bit about
that as well. It was inthe Broncos Country tonight right here on KOA.
It's eight fifty am, ninety fourone FM News Talk Sports. Welcome

(18:45):
back to it, Broncos Country tonight, Benjamin ol Brighten, Nick Ferguson,
Grant Smith here with you got gotmyself an eight leg parlay going. You
need some U you need to getbetter at guessing. Mike the Texter said,
the world's best, Yes, sir. After these stretch of play,
I hit on the I hit onWednesday and Thursday, I missed on Friday,

(19:07):
I hit on Saturday, I missedon Sunday, I missed on Monday,
and we're back today. So thisone is actually shorter odds than most
of the ones that I Most ofthe ones that I do, and most
parlays I put together usually have plusfive plus six hundred odds. This one's
a little bit short that it's closerto a plus three hundred. Are you

(19:29):
gonna hit it? I think thisone's gonna hit the just one or two
legs there that are like e butthe rest of these are pretty easy.
It's a pretty easy one I puttogether. So we'll see, we'll see.
I'm still uh, like I said, I'm still raking over the prophets
from last week, so we'll seehow it shakes out. I I think
the Nuggets can win this one.Nobody's managed to win at home thus far.

(19:52):
We'll see if they keep the streakalive. I think Nuggets can win
this one. I do, uh. I think that they've sold the problem
that they had the first couple ofgames with how to beat Minnesota's length,
and I think Minnesota has not figuredout that they've got to get another scorer
on the court. Yeah, thirteenpoints from cat isn't gonna cut it,

(20:15):
no, and he should be yourtertiary option, to be honest. But
the way that they run things,I mean, you got Connley run the
point, you got Edwards who isto do it all, and then you
got three guys that don't score.What is I mean, why would you
have a lineup that has Jaden McDanielsand Rudy Gobert in It wouldn't either one

(20:36):
of them contribute anything offensively whatsoever.Nos Reed needs to be seeing the court.
If you're Minnesota, nas Reed needsto be seeing the court more.
Rudy Gobert should come off the bench. I get that Gobart alters what it
is that you can do around therim. I get that, But the

(20:57):
way that the Nuggets are set up, it doesn't matter if you got a
big man with that kind of range, it doesn't matter. And then Nuggers
do rely a little bit on theback door cut with Aaron Gordon, but
they finally figured out a way towork that if you could pull go bar
to the top of the key.I just I don't understand the mentality of

(21:27):
Minnesota. I get it. You'rea team with length, I get it.
You're a defensive minded team first andforemost. I get it. But
the problem is is that in aseven game series, you gotta be able
to score. You could play defensefor a game and you can win.
You can play defense during the seasonand you could win. But if you're
going to be a defensive team inthe postseason, you're going to have to

(21:48):
find more than one score time andtime again. We've seen in these NBA
Best of seven series that if youdon't have a primary secondary and a rely
bible tertiary option, you are notgoing to win long term. And the

(22:11):
team was approven it. They've they'vegot talent. I mean, those guys
are that's a talented basketball team.And I worried before the series. When
I saw them play Phoenix, Iwas like, WHOA, this is a
team that matches up incredibly well withthe Denver Nuggets, and they do.
Defensively, they do, but evenwith Aunt Edward's putting that team on its
shoulder and carrying them through several quartersof basketball, it's still not enough.

(22:44):
They're going to have to get nasried. They're basically gonna have to start him
or have him play significantly more messI believe he played eighteen minutes in the
last game. If I'm not mistaken, I had to go back to look.
I believe he played an eighteen minutes. You can't have a situation where
you've got Rudy Gobert out there contributingliterally nothing offensively. Gobert had some garbage

(23:11):
points there at the end. Ihad, in fact, you speaking of
these parlays, my parlay the othernight, I took the under on Rudy
gobar points and Jade McDaniel's points.Well, were they like six apiece?
It was no, it was morethan that. Rudy Gobert was fourteen and
a half points or no, therue Gobart thirteen a half points, he

(23:33):
got eleven, and the Jade McDanielswas twelve points and he got eleven.
I took the under on their pointsand they had garbage points at the end.
To get there, Colbert played thirtyfive minutes and contributed to eleven points
thirty five and a half minutes.He only attempted five shots on the game,

(24:00):
five to nine from the Frey throwline, but he only got five
field goal attempts for the game.Jade McDaniels for the eight from the field
eight attempts for the game, youwould you would say, Mike Connolly doesn't
shoot the ball that often. He'sdone twelve field goal attempts. Towns was

(24:22):
ice cold. He was five ofeighteen from the floor. But they've got
to come up with another option rightnow. It's their whole plan is Hey,
Anthony Edwards is gonna score the bulkof them and Towns will be the
secondary option. Well, the Nuggetshave solved that, and I don't know
what you do at that point.But nas Reid contributed to eleven points in

(24:45):
eighteen minutes. I think he gottabe worried if you're the Timberwolves, because
I mean, Anthony Edwards had whatforty four last game? They had forty
four, sixteen to twenty five fromthe field. Absurd. You get the
game from him and you still losethe game. Yeah, I think you're
can. I think the Nuggets,man, if they can find a way
to win tonight, I think thisseries is a rap. Oh well,

(25:06):
yeah, I think whoever wins tonightis see. I don't feel that way.
If the t Wolves win tonight,I still like the Nuggets chances in
seven games. But man, I'dbe very worried if I was a Timberwolves
fan. Yeah, I just it'sfrustrating to me. And I'm glad that
it's the Wolves do it so theNuggets can can get back in this thing

(25:30):
and win it. But it's frustratingto me to see bad management in basketball.
Nasrit was five or six from thefield, only managed to get eighteen
minutes. They just would not puthim out there. Ordy Gobert got double
the minutes. Gobart had five turnovers, Reid had none. The worst loss

(25:56):
in this series for the Nuggets waswhen Gobert didn't even play. Yeah,
that's what I'm That's what I'm gettingat. They're a better basketball team with
nas reading there than they are Rudygo Bear. It's just it's funny to
to see this stuff. It's funnyto to see a professional basketball franchise more

(26:21):
people get paid millions of dollars todo this stuff. And my amateur eyes
looking at this like, uh,you're way better with the other guy,
and it's not really debatable. Threeeight five said McDaniels. Was nine,

(26:41):
he got me, I had theunder. Yeah, I took the alternate
A lot of these times, I'lltake alternate numbers, and I pushed it
out to twelve and he got eleven, and you share it with me?
And Nick, was that was that? When I share? You were asking?
Yeah, because I ask you,I said, what is alt?
Yeah? Point, because I usea lot of the alternative numbers. I
just I have a projection that Ithink they're going to hit or miss,
you know, over under. ThenI'll go from there, depending on how

(27:03):
many standard deviations they are away fromwhat my calculations come up with. But
people don't need all my math nerdstuff. He eight o five wonders why
I'm spending so much time telling thet Wolves how to beat the Nuggets.
They're not listening. Tim Connolly's tryinghis best man. He left the Nuggets
to go figure out how to beatthe Nuggets with the Tea Wolves, and

(27:25):
he still can't figure it out.Yeah, it's I mean, I to
me, it's just funny and it'ssomething that you guys. I want you
guys to watch tonight because I thinkyou're going to get more nas read tonight.
I really do, based on somethings that I've heard, I think
you're gonna get some more nase readtonight. And so as you're watching that,
watch for that. As you're watchingthat game tonight, watch for that.
Welcome back to It, Broncos CountryTonight. Benjamin Albrighten, Nick Ferguson,

(27:45):
Grant Smith here with you got theColorado Rocket. He's taking on the
San Diego Padres kind of on topof the hour some forty first pitch local
time, Cal Quantrell and Quantrill's Raiderstaking on Dylan Cease and the Deceased,
hopefully seeing Ego Podreys as the Rockieslook to make it six straight wins.
The suddenly surging Colorado Rockies did notsee this one coming, but man couldn't

(28:10):
be happier. Ready for their homestandand I think next week they're back in
town. Go catch a Rockies gameand hopefully you'll win. Yeah, looking
forward to it. Well, sorryabout the BC team. I'd be posted
last night we'll figure that out.We'll figure out what the issues were.
We'll get that squared away for BuddyTonight. You can get that on an
Apple iTunes, Spotify till It's raightawesome, my Hurt Radio app where you

(28:32):
can also get the technic for Regretedpodcast. You get the little red microphone
up at the corny you can losethe talk back like this. Hey guys,
Yeah, I know the Arena League'strying to get Jeff Fisher to be
the commissioner. I hear that,but like, not every team can go
seven and nine or eight and eight. Is this the way for them to
get more appeal in the Arena League? Growing up here in Utah, I

(28:55):
loved the Utah Lays, but thatfranchise obviously died. Maybe Jeff fish Sure's
mediocrity can get them to where theyneed to be. Sounds like the talkback
there was Utah blazed. No,I appreciate you. You know, look,
maybe they're trying to expand to sixteenteams, you know, eight and
eight in each division. Just sayingJeff Fisher, I will say this,

(29:17):
We make the jokes about him inhis his Mediocrity's a head coach and those
are well founded. Nobody was moreof a five hundred coach than Jeff Fisher.
But he has been excellent on therules committee in the NFL as a
partial owner of the arena team therein Nashville, He's done a really good
job at those kind of things.He's a keen eye and a passion for
the game, and he really isprobably at his best being on like those

(29:41):
rules committees type stuff rather than ahead football coach of a team. You
know, Jeff Fisher is is,for whatever else you may think of him
as a head coach, an integralpart of football. He's been a he's
got a love for the game,he's well respected, and he does have
a keen eye for detail when itcomes to a lot of these like rules
and stuf enuff like that. Sothat part of it, I'm certainly not

(30:03):
opposed to. I'm definitely always herefor Jeff Fisher five hundred jokes. But
you know, no truth to therumor that they're they're, uh, they're
naming that new NASCAR race there inNashville the Jeff Fisher five hundred in honor
of him. But I I dobelieve that him being involved in football is
actually a good thing. He isa keen, keen mind and he does

(30:25):
have a sharp eye. And himbeing on the rules committee, and like
I said, the competition Committee hasbeen has been good for NFL football.
So not a post. Not certainlynot opposed to him beingcoming the commissioner of
Arena Football. Colorad Rocky's coming uphere in just a few Top of the
hour, Elal Jones, Chris Bryantstill on the d L, but we've

(30:45):
got a lot of production on atoll var das lately. These players are
starting to start to grow up alittle bit. Brenton Doyle trying to find
his bad a little bit. Stillgreat in the field, man Jack had
a great call of his catch theother night. Yeah, you know,
I'm I'm I like what I likeportions of this team. It feels like

(31:06):
the backbone of this thing is kindof starting to get built. It just
it sucks that they got saw offto such a cold start and they're probably
a team that since two years awayfrom really being where they want to be.
But man, I mean on afive game win streak right now,
and you know, looking to makeit six against the Padres. You know
you can't beat that and cal Quandtrillhasn't hasn't been a bad pitcher this year.
He's been pretty good. Yeah,And I mean they're it's not like

(31:29):
you're beating the worst teams either.You're beating the defending World Series champions and
the Rangers and the Padres, whowill probably be a playoff team again.
Yeah. Yeah. Quadrille got offto a slow start this season against the
Arizona in Chicago. You had thebat outing against the Houston back on April
twenty seventh. But uh, he'sonly allowed to Wanning to run in his
last thirteen and two thirds innings,so he's you know, he's been pitching

(31:52):
better of late last couple of weeks. And you know, I, uh,
I gotta say I think the Rockieshaving a chance to extend that streak.
I made a joke right before theystarted the streak back when they were
eight twenty eight about them going off, uh, popping off like the Oakland
A's did, uh for the twentygame win streak back in I was making
a joke because of the time theywere eight and twenty eight and it would
have even their record. But allof a sudden, they're twenty five percent

(32:16):
of the way there. Sounds likewe need more of Rocky Rocky's futility jokes
from you, Yes, and thenmaybe they'll go on some more win streak.
That's what. That's that is what. And we're not even dealing with
the hat thing anymore. Like lastyear remember the hat jinks. No,
Yeah, that had had no power, not consistent enough. Nick Nicks wore
up and down that it was thehat. It was not the hat.
It was not. So maybe it'sa maybe it's just me me poking jokes

(32:37):
and making fun and all that goodstuff. I don't know, but we
are having Rockies Baseball Cup here topof the hour. Like I said,
uh, Colorado Rockies taking on theSan Diego Pod raising San Diego Cal Quantrill
two and three, three nine fourera taking on Dylan CS five and two
era. But we'll pull it forthe Rockies to make it six in a

(32:59):
row. Jack Corgan Jerry Shimmel onthe call in that you listen to the
Bronx Country and I can't wait
