07-11-24 Hour 2 of Broncos Country Tonight

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to it Broncos country tonight,but with all Brian mack, Ferguson Grant
Smith. Tm USA shakes off aslow start to be Canada in the pre
Olympics exhibition opener Tmusa and again it'spre Olympics exhibition tour against arguably it's biggest
competitor for the gold medal and encouragingstart led by Anthony Edwards Anthony Davis,
the Americans defeated Canada eighty six seventytwo in Wednesday in Las Vegas. The

(00:25):
team has four exhibitions remaining over thenext two weeks for heading to Paris against
Australia, Serbia, South Sudan andGermany. The game kind of opened as
a slog featuring the two teams stockedwith the most NBA talent top to the
bottom, but Durant was out withthe cash strain. TUUSA opened the starting
lineup of lebron staph Embiid, DevinBooker and Jeriro Holliday, and that group

(00:49):
didn't seem to work very well,but it may have been an experimental exercise
much as anything. Tmusa didn't scoreits first field goal until the fifth minute
of playing was behind twenty one tofourteen at the end of the first quarter,
and there was the inevitable rivalry ofLebron James and Dylan Brooks, who
again had something to say before thegame. Fortunately, the Americans had no

(01:10):
shortage of looks to throw at Canada, and one quick tet of NBA All
Stars fall short. Another one obviouslyremains when your tem Usa second quarter beg
o the fourteen to two run andEdward's looking like the number one option on
the second unit is prophesized at theprettiest basketball. But TMSA stayed on top
of the rest of the night.Fans got to enjoy the James to Curry
al oop and you know, somefun stuff like that. Edwards let all

(01:30):
scores thirteen off the bench, withCurry, Holliday and Davis also adny double
digits. Davis had the game's onlydouble double, posting eleven rebounds four blocks
to assist who steals. RJ.Barrett led Canada with twelve points. Keeping
in mind by the way international gamesare played with ten minute quarters from the
AVVA twelve, so the scoring isdown a little bit. They given the

(01:51):
tm USA barely beat its select team, led by a seventeen year old Cooper
Company scrimmage earlier this week Wednesday wasa I guess, a better step forward
for the Americans, who are stillconsidered the overwhelming favorite. Twin they're fifth
straight gold in Paris, a littlereason to expect change barring something draft drastic.
Temiosay schedule to open its Olympic campaignagainst Serbia featuring Raining MVP and Denver

(02:14):
NuGet Nikola Jokic on July twenty eight. You know, I wanted to pay
attention to this game because a lotof these other teams were put together and
they had time to build that chemistry, which is all important. And watching
Team USA commit seventeen turnovers as fartoo many for Steve Kurr and his staff,

(02:35):
but that's kind of expected when youget a bunch of NBA guys playing
together for the first time, andwhen you look at all these superstars that
bring a certain type of skill tothe game, they're so used to playing
a lot of ISO ball, right, even though there's a lot of downscreens
and backdoor cuts and all of thesethings. A lot of these guys are
superstars and they're used to closing outgames with the ball being in their hands.

(03:00):
And when you listen to what LebronJames Deph Curry said afterwards, I
guess that what was being preachers.It's not about your individual numbers. No
one's gonna win MVP. The ideais that you're trying to win gold.
So hopefully they can fix us alot of the issues that they're having.
But obviously watching Dylan Brooks be thebane of everyone in existence. And here

(03:27):
as you see the post Kate pressureher the camera being a minut But what
man hate him if he wants to, right, yes, but he has
embraced the role like it Dinnis Robindid back in the day. Now Robin
has never done anything like Dylan Brooks, but Books is stepping into that role.
But it's gonna be something interesting forthe guys who are NBA players to

(03:52):
understand these fever rules. Like yousaid, instead of twelve minutes the course,
and also, I mean Darlin bfouled out right, there's not six
files, it's five, and thepace of the game is quickened. So
now that the US wants to playbig at times, Anthony Davis, you're
on the beat. But they alsoprove that they can go with a smaller

(04:14):
lineup, and I have to say, man, say what you want to
say about Lebron James. That dudehas been in the league for a while
and he's still out there doing thingsthat you think the older guy in the
NBA should be doing. Yeah,I mean he's been in the league with
twenty years. Yes, i meanhe's been out there a while. You
need to play with ridiculous. Thatis absolutely absurdulous, absolutely absurd. But

(04:40):
I'm you know, I'm here forit'll be fun to watch. Bronnie's been
kind of underwhelming in the summer leaseof four old you've seen excuse me,
I don't have seen any of that. Oh yeah, it's it's It hasn't
been great. And this is verytough for any kid whose father was a
great player, like Michael Jordan twosons, they went through the same thing,

(05:00):
everyone expecting them to be like MikeA can't won the Nikes and drink
drink gatorating wheedies and think they're goingto be able to be the player that
he is. And Bronni is underthe same scrutiny because everyone's question whether him
being drafted in the second round islegitimate or not. You know it's nepotism.
He Bronnie, of course, theson of Lebron posted three points one

(05:21):
of three shooting, five rebounds,three assists, three blocks, two steals,
and two turnovers in twenty nine minutes. I did like his defense,
like he's playing d This isn't Thisisn't a what is it LaMelo ball situation
where you're coming in cherry picking andjust shooting ball and not playing this dude
plays defense, and he plays defensepretty well. It's the offensive side of
his game that needs work. Thendo you look at the guy who was

(05:44):
drafted by the Lakers in the firstround And I was lamenting with Grant as
the draft was happening and watching himslide him, Oh, he's going to
the Lakers. He's going to Lakers, And sure enough he did Dalton connect
who had twenty points on seven ofeighteen shooting and nine rebounds. But this
is what I guess Rob Plinko wantsto do with a younger version of the
Lakers. And there are not toomany guys in today's NBA that we can

(06:08):
say are two way players. Lookat the team that just won the championship
in the Boston Celtics, how dothey do it? They did it on
both ends of the floor, JalenBrown, Jason Tatum offensively and defensively.
So while Bronnie needs to work onhis skills from an offensive standpoint because he
did not play a lot at USC, the one thing that you can always

(06:30):
do, and this is for anyNBA player, if your shot is not
falling, you could always play defense. The effort has to be there.
So it's great to see at leastwith the points not kind of piling up.
At least Bronni knows that at theend of the day he can lean
on his defense. And I'm sureonce he gets back with his father with
the Lakers, all those other thingswill fall in line. But that kid

(06:51):
has an immense amount of pressure onhim. He does I just like I
watched the two games, I'm like, Okay, this guy's an advanced defender
for his age, because normally that'ssomething that you kind of pick up as
you go. Normally, people especiallyin his position, are not as good
at playing defense that early in theircareers. But the shooting has got a
long way to go. But thinkabout it, Okay, how many kids

(07:11):
can say that their father is Lebronsaying, your pickup game, n you
have a full lift basketball court inyour house, right, so you have
to figure that there's always a rideof passage with every father and son.
It's always a pick up basketball game. It could be a horse. So
he was thrust into that early.But you're a father. You never let
your kid win, right, No, never? You know, lebron is

(07:33):
letting Bronnie be him. So whatI'm saying is Bronnie got practiced. Were
playing defense against the goat. Ofcourse, so the level of defensive mentality
is going to be there for Bronniebecause obviously his dad is much taller,
stronger, more experienced than Bronni.But this is where Bronnie is learning how

(07:56):
to be that type of NBA player. How much are we going to see
of the first assist from father toson whenever it inevitably happens, the first
assistant score, like, it's gonnabe the the highlight on sports Center.
It's going to be a bounce passor lob but you know Bronni or lebron
lobs it up for his son,and you know that kind of thing.

(08:16):
See, I was thinking the Bronnilobbing it up for huld say so,
but I think the other way iscooler. See, yes, the torch
County one would really jump on thatif it's Lebron lobbing to Bron, right,
and see that's what I think.You know, if you get that,
whenever that highlight inevitably occurs, it'sgonna be it's gonna take over sports.
Well great, let me ask youguys really quickly. What was that

(08:37):
moment that you might have had withan uncle or father where you knew that
Okay, well, now I'm steppinginto my grown man's shoes. It either
it was a positive or it wasa negative. There were two of those
from me. And my dad wasa very physical person. Uh and he
played college sports and all that kindof stuff. But it was uh yeah,

(09:00):
it was so was right on.It would have been what my eighth
grade year of uh my eighth gradeyear school and uh he was playing corner,
my brother was playing quarterback, andI was playing receiver. We were
just running routes and stuff like that. I put the double move on him
and put him on his butt andI, oh, man, I always
We'll me tell you. I caughtthat ball and I was hold I was
de on and it hold it behindme, high stepping, I mean everything.
And the next play put me.He put me in the dirt without

(09:22):
even let me get off the youknow, press me without let me go
up on basketball. There was hthere was a crossover where I sat him
down and you know and did alexusewe a little basketball courtner in our house?
Yeah? Basketball crossed him over andset him down or whatever. And
there was some snickers. And thenext shot got thrown into the into the
fields because we we had this fiveacres or whatever. And the next shot
he swatted that thing into you know, cause my dad was six three,

(09:43):
Well, mine's gonna sound like thewhitest moment possible. So you guys were
playing polo, ping pong, pingpong. My dad was a hell of
a ping pong player and he usedto I remember growing up in Columbus before
he moved to Athens, Ohio.He would have over friends from the neighborhood
and they would just battle it outon Friday nights, playing ping pong against

(10:05):
each other. And I think Iwas maybe thirteen or fourteen years old,
and we had a ping pong tabledown in our garage and I whooped him.
He just smacked him one game andhe never played me again. It
was like, this is it.I'm done playing ping pong my Sonatari.
Yeah, that's I mean, that'sthat is the moment of retire. That's

(10:26):
the thing though, like when theybeat you know, because I mean under
the first time, like the instantI gave her the first time that I
beat my dad right now. Lateron, you know, by the time
I got to my senior year,right, it was not it was not
quite he couldn't keep up, butlike it was, you know, the
first time, like, oh,man, was that sweet? It was
sweet? So grant anytime that.Let's just say you and your father had

(10:46):
a slight disagreement and he was tryingto discipline in you in some way.
I either, you know, verbally, great, don't do this. Did
you ever pick up the ping pongand stack and just like hey, you
would go down? Yeah? Oh, would have took a backhand to my
thing, said, oh Dad,you're saying that I'm in trouble and you

(11:07):
need to paddle me and then youjust hold. That would have been me,
I would have been There's not evena pig pong table at our house
anymore. He was like el way. He lost on the pool table.
Remember when Bubby Brischter beat him thechop chop the pool tab it out,
that's woodchips in the garden. Thoseof a hyper competitive guy bought the brand

(11:30):
new pool table. It's like thefirst game to get played on it.
Bubby Brister came over and smoked himon the pool table, chopped it to
it out. See for me,it was you know, you always as
a kid, you idolize your dadin some way, and I think every
kid looks at their dad as they'retheir champion. But you always think that
as you start to get older,I could take them, and you always

(11:52):
get into these little wrestling matchim Andmy father wasn't one of those type of
guys that he was always hugging you, telling you he loved you. But
there was a it was a chanceopportunity, and I took it because I
thought I could take him. Andthen quickly you realize he might be older
than you, but he has thatthing called grow man's strength, and he's

(12:13):
like, no, no, no, no, there's no way. I'm
in my prime. I'm like,you know, you're in your fourteen fifteen
You're thinking like I could take himtustops thrones out of the roof man.
Old man's strength and old man smartsare is a whole new skills. It's
like the hidden in game kill treethat you get after you matched your character.
It was almost like he had beenwatching some some kumfortble flicks and grab

(12:37):
my wrists and I couldn't move andI wanted to grab him, but but
I couldn't. It just it justbroke me down to that right there.
All my strength was just empty.It was just gone. Yeah, it's
funny because somebody explained to me,is this one that old man strength is
actually desperation? Straight? Oh that'sa minute. It was this old guy
tell me. He just said,yes, because it's the minute you because
the minute you slip, young buckets, young bucks, You've got to remind

(12:58):
him, you know, so youcan't slip, you can't show anything.
And he's like, because this wasone of my uncles he was talking about.
To tell me and he's like yeah, He's like. I was sitting
there and I was in immense pain. I could barely hang on and everything.
I wasn't letting a beat of sweatdrip get He left out of there.
I'm like, oh my back hereshower. You know, I wish

(13:20):
I would have had that information whenI was fourteen, because all I had
to do is wait one more second, and I would have had it.
Yep, one more second. Iwould have had his third ship and outlasting
is it? You know that thing? And I've told the story about going
you know, may be an arrogantwhatever you get into the gym and then
old man basketball. You know,yes, that guy was making it.
It was his jumper was so wet, the whole court was coming water.

(13:41):
I couldn't stop. This guy hadto be, you know, my early
twenty in my prime. This guyhad to be in his mid to late
forties, early fifties, and thatguy could he couldn't miss. I couldn't
do anything. That's that young manarrogance. I guess it's a little bit
and it often plays out, andit will play out when the Bronco go
out in the training camp. You'regonna get one of the free agent young

(14:03):
upstart thinking, okay, you knowwhat my time is now, I'm gonna
take over. I want that spot. And they're gonna quickly find out not
just the experience and the wisdom ofthe veteran player, but there it is
desperation old aka old manstem kind ofand I'm kind of hoping it's like a
Troy Franklin Tim Patrick kind of situationwhere Troy is like, oh man,
this old man, you know,he's been injured two years whatever, I'm

(14:24):
gonna come out there, and TimPatrick comes out just Tim Patrick's you know,
that's who he is. He's thatguy, right, So like I'm
kind of hoping that that's kind ofthe dynamic what we see out there,
but it has to happen in adifferent way like receiver versus receiver. We
expect that in the head a corner. Yes, it's gotta be like Roley

(14:46):
Moss. It's him Patrick. Okay, here you go, ADMS drained right
coming in there. Okay, I'mI'm gona lock this old man up.
Man, I read an injury report. I know what's going on with you.
I'm about the lockdown. Other bandsholding your knees. He exactly,
And did you do like ros Smithwould do, kiss the fat route on
him and just and just drop itright, They're a better example by the
way of Old Mass like when heplayed footba at the end of his career.

(15:07):
Yeah, like is there a betterbad example like out hustle out?
You know? Yes? You knowwho else was like that? That that
way really quickly? Kevin A.Why I believe I just said when he
would grab you, you can wiggleall you want to. You ain't the
rat. It's over is the rat? It's over you listening to Broncos Country

(15:28):
tonight, come back we got theNFL six pac Welcome back to it,
Broncos Country Tonight, Benjamin Albrighten,Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you,
five six six nights. It wasthe text. LTD appreciate some of
the texts we got. And tonightsomebody wanted to talk about uh, Dion,
we'll get to something on Dean herein just a minute. Rest in
peace, money KIF and that's comingup in the six pack as well.
Uh but this someone nice as Atfifteen years old, I thought I could

(15:48):
take my dad, but I guessI was not too smart. We were
boxing, I put the gloves on. I was dancing around like Muhamm and
Ali. Next thing I know,I'm looking up at the sky. My
dad looked down at me and said, are you done? How smart was
I? As a kid my dadto the Marines. Not smart. Oh
my goodness. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's that's great. So

(16:11):
somebody said Brody gets a free pass. I don't really gets a free pass.
But I mean I saw some thingsout there watching him play that were
advanced level defending stuff. The wayhe slipped a screen, you know,
like and instinctively like felt the screenand slipped it and stayed on his man.
There's some the guy can The kidcan play defense. Okay, he
can't. I don't know if he'sgoing to be a pro shooter or not,

(16:32):
or be able to contribute offensively.But the kid can play defense.
I will say that. And soI want to be fairer to to Ronnie
as far as that stuff goes.Do I think it was a nepotism deal.
I don't know if getting drafted inthe second rounds nepotism. I know
a four year, fully guaranteed contractseems a little nepotistic, But Dalton connect
is a slam dunk for them.So far, it looks like. So
we'll see with that. Let's getthe NFL six pack. It's time for

(16:55):
the NFL. I'm gonna trade thelast year and insight, insight information you
can't find anywhere else. No.Six the top six NFL headline what well,
let's get right to it. AFlorida court has declared NFL star Tyreek
Hill the father of yet another littlegirl, bringing his unofficial roster of kids
to seven, with another on theway with his current wife, Miami Dolphins

(17:18):
wide receiver who's thirty. You couldhave as many as ten children around the
nation if all the paternity tests thatare currently out there come back as his
his wellness influenced. Their wife,Ketavacarro twenty eight, is expecting a baby,
their first together. Roward County judgeruled this week the eight time pro
bowlers the father of Trey Love Hill, born on May second of last year.
The tot's mom, Kimberly Kaye Baker, thirty, fired a paternity suit

(17:42):
that same month, claiming the newboard was conceived during an August twenty twenty
two hookup with Tyreek Hill. Shesaid she was receiving twenty five hundred dollars
from him each month, but estimatedthe real cost of caring for their daughter
was ten thousand dollars a month,saying the father has in fact demonstrated utter
an abject concern for the child andholy failing to act as a parent as

(18:03):
completely failing to support the child.Jill didn't contest the results of a DNA
test, but argued unsuccessfully that Californiabased Baker had no grounds to file for
paternity in Florida, where he livesand works. That is crazy, and
I get it. There are anumber of athletes, both baseball players,

(18:23):
basketball players, and football players whohave a large amount of kids. I'm
not going to try to knock youfor that. Do you all day every
day, but you gotta think atsome point it is not just the money
that I feel that you are sacrificing. It's the relationships with the kids.
And I hope the wild is withthe number of kids that tybee q has

(18:44):
that he is in their life asmuch as they can be. But this
is a ridiculous amount. And whatis this? His fifth kid this year
and his wife is expecting. Yeah, how does that work? Don't be
a fool, rapy tool. Iguess so Hell who is already paying thirteen
thousand, five hundred a month inchild support for three kids with former fiance

(19:06):
Crystal Espinal. He's in A separateBroward County fraternity suit filed last year declared
the dad of Soul Corizon Hill,that boy Who's mom, Brittany Lacquer,
said the initial offer of twenty fivehundred a month, which seems to be
his standard initial offer, was woefullyinadequate for someone on a thirty million dollars
salary. Before the team reached aconfidential deal. I just yeah this to

(19:30):
me. I you know, theeighty grand a month, well, I
mean thirteen five for three kids,twenty five hundred a month for one kid,
and you've got another one over herethat's undisclosed, but higher than twenty
five hundred a month as a confidentialsettlement, and that just covers seven of
them. We got, you know, we got five more to go.
Listen once again. I know TarbyHills is living in Florida. I believe
knows the state tax. There's nostate tax. He's making a substances of

(19:51):
the amount of money, but he'snot like you know, Nick Cannon,
then you can't. And he's payingover one hundred thousand dollars a month in
child support. And see, Isee that's why Nick Cannon has so many
jobs. Yeah, yeah, I'mnever sarry now work Ken of four two
not breaking the record at this point, which would be Calvin Murphy's fourteen children
with nine women. The NFL recordis Antonio Crumarty twelve children with eight different

(20:15):
equopmen. For me, I thinkthis is like drinking an adult beverage.
Right at some point, when youare hitting your fourth and fifth beer,
your body is telling you enough isenough. Then the same thing happened with
these kids, these guys with anumber of kids, at some point enough
is enough. I yeah, goget go, get the sectomy. Dude.

(20:37):
The only thing I can think ofis his wife wants him to to
not so that. I still don'tknow how. He's had five this year
and she's expecting now. Whatever theirarrangement is, I hope it works for
him. Two. Former NFL defensivecoordinator Money Kiffin passed away today in Oxford,
Mississippi, surrounded by family and friends. If it was eighty four,

(21:00):
his grandson said he's free of paynsmiling down from us from above. Please
keep the Kiffin family and your thoughtsand prayers during this time. Ole mishead
coach Lean Kiff at his Manti's sonKevin spent thirty years coaching in the NFL
ranks is the longest tenured coach inBuccaneers franchise history. He was with the
Bucks in ninety six to two thousandand eight under Tony Dungee and John Gruden.
Is the team's Ring of honor.Kiffen joined Dungee's staff as a defensive

(21:23):
coordator in ninety six, helped createand implement the Tampa two defense that defense
approved from twenty seventh overall at nineteenninety five to eleventh in just his first
year as a coordinator, and ultimatelymorphing into what we all saw the Tampa
defense become one hundred. Kiffin's leadership, eight different Buccaneers defensive players made a
combined thirty six Pro Bowl appearances.All six earned All Pro Team selections.

(21:45):
Warren Sap, Derek Brooks, RodneyBarbara, and John Lynch all in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kiffinwas the Cowboys defensive coordinator in twenty thirteen,
started to assistant with the Packers,Bills, Vikings, Saints, and
Jaggs as a head coach at NorthCarolina State from eighty to eighty two.
Is his only head coaching stint Anassistant for his son at three different stops.
He was also the defensive coordinator atthe University of Arkansas in nineteen seventy

(22:07):
seven when he hired a promising gratassist who stayed there for one year named
Pete Carroll. That is an awesomebackdrop to Mike Kiffin's career. Obviously,
I played against some of those TampaBay Buccaneers teams that he coached for,
and I know guys who played forWarren Sapp, Derek Brooks, John lynch

(22:29):
Rondee Barber. All of those guyshurt right now because there's always a coach
playing relationship, but sometimes a ventureover into you looking at that guy needing
that defensive unit or the offensive unitas a sevrogant father, and I know
that's how they see him. AndI had a chance to coach with his
son, Chris Kenferd, who's nowlinebacker coach down with the Houston Texans.

(22:52):
So Chris played college ball here atColorado State, at Colleos State. So
our heart goes out to the Kiffinfamily. This is a loss not just
for Tampa Bay, but I wouldsay the NFL family as a whole.
Absolutely. Three Houston has still notrecovered from Hurricane Barrel, which hit the
city with eighty mile an hour windson Monday. More than a million people
remain without power four days after theCategory one storm made landfall. Texans offensive

(23:18):
lineman Titus Howard was affected by thestorm, getting his lifted four by a
four trucks stuck in floodwater, saying, quote, tell me why I doesn't
let my truck slide into a ditch. You're like four feet of water well
half the truck, he rode onsocial media. I need somebody with a
tractor to come pull it out soI can get towed. Hower told teammate
Laramie Tunsel was a long story abouthow the truck got stuck, and later
posted a video and photos of Houstonianscoming to rescue the truck and asked,

(23:40):
am I officially a Houstonian? Now? Was there ever a moment when you
needed the help of the uh thecitizens of the city you were playing in?
Nick Ferguson, Uh No, Isaid, like a shovel to get
your way to the stadium in Buffalosituation. Well, no, that Buffalo
situation was entirely different. But Icould tell you about living in Hueston where
Galveston not being that far away.When it's hurricane season and that water and

(24:04):
the wind comes through, it makesit really difficult. And I live by
the little by you over by apark in downtown Houston, and when that
by you starts to swell, it'swater everywhere. Now, we thought that
we were going to need to berescued because we lived in the townhome,
and luckily there were other townhomes surroundingus. But you can feel the winds

(24:26):
coming in and it's always a dangeroustime. And then Houston, you got
to know this when you first movedthere. I mean, don't live in
flood area because your car as you'redriving or you leave a certain way,
you may come out and it maybe flood riddle because the water has come
up too high. Houston is barelyabove sea level. I mean it's like

(24:47):
fifty feet above sea level, andit's so close to Galveston, as you
pointed out, So they have alot of problems with had excuse me,
a lot of problems with that overthe years. Or Fox shuffle the NFL
broadcast teams with the addition of TomBrady. Brady's arrival to Fox is displacing
Greg Olsen for the network's top NFLbroadcast team. That much has already been
noll On. Brady will team withKevin Burkhardt and Olsen with Joe Davis Andrew

(25:11):
march Hand of The Athletic has revealedthe rest of the changes to Fox lineup.
March Hand reports that Adam Amen andMark Sanchez will be the number three
team, Kenny Albert and John Vilmawill be the fourth team, Kevin Coogler
and Darryl Johnson will be the fifthteam, and Chris Myers and Mark Schlareth
will be number six. Albert andVilma return from twenty twenty three. All
the other broadcast teams are shake ups. Sanchez worked with Coogler last year,

(25:34):
Johnston worked with Davis, Shlareth workedwith a mean Robert Smith, who previously
worked with Myers, was not listed. Marchand did not have a list of
the sideline reporters for the broadcast teams. Does any of this matter to you
and are you tuning in for TomBrady's first game as a broadcaster. Yeah,
I'm gonna tune in because, contraryto popy belief, I like Tom
Brady even though I play for theDenver Broncos. I like his competitive drive

(25:57):
and the idea is that you wantto see players succeed. Now, others
were watched because they want to seeBrady fall on his face, which I
don't think is going to happen,because there's gonna be a lot of preparation
up until he gave his first broadcast. But this is what happens. I
mean, we get guys who retireand they have big names, and the
broadcast networks those are the first guysthey want to bring in, so there's

(26:19):
always a reshuffle. But I'm rootedfor Tom to do great job. Yeah,
I mean I'm rooting for it tobe good. I don't know if
it will be, but I youdon't know if it will be Tom's kacky
pants. Dude, But did younot see see see that is a on
the roads. Listen, I'm tellingyou right now, which was on purpose.
Listen, that was a huge misconceptionabout Tom Brady that he is just

(26:40):
so button up. No him,he's just like he's stiff. I'm sure,
listen, we'll see if he befair. Troy was a little stiff.
Early's okay, I'm just I'm alittle and making him the number one
guy right off the bat, wherehe's just play guys. Hey, greg
Olson was really good, but thisis Tom freaking Brady. But greg Olsen

(27:03):
was good at the job. Iknow. Listen listening to first broadcast and
then we go from there. Treatedlike a preseason game, all right,
and broadcasting'd be like somebody coming inand you know, Grant Smith, I
don't know, not his Nigga five. Dion Sanders talks about the pressure that
Colorado faces, says he's judged ona different scale. The colorad coach Dion

(27:27):
Sanders reflected on the pressure surrounding theBuffalo's entering his second season in Boulder after
last year's hot three and all startwas erased by a disappointing one in eight
finish, and during Big twelve mediaDay on Wednesday in Las Vegas, Sanders
was asked and he feels an obligationto coach at a higher level based on
who he is, A former Hallof Fame corner and one of the most
electric personalities in ol of football.Sanders said, quote, I'm judged on

(27:48):
a different scale. My wins aretotally different than your wins. Sanders said,
your wins you're just judging Football's whyI have to start out give you
an education, academics, so farthI have to give you those things you
understand is a greater scope. Ican't win nine games and our GPA suffers.
Our GPA can't be high. Welose eight games. My wins are
different. We have to win inevery area. That's the way we're judged.
And I'm cool with that because we'vecome from a little different and the

(28:11):
expectations are greater. Sander's certainly facingscrutiny and pressure because of his sort of
brash, in your face personality.I post this question to Ryan the other
day. I was curious, butnobody Pete Carroll had the exact same playbook
as Dion Sanders in terms of recruitingand the way that he was doing things,
the concerts, that all this stuff. Pete Carroll did all the same

(28:33):
things. It's not like Deon Sandersis pioneering something with that. He's using
the transfer portal more, but hewas. He's doing the same things Pete
Carroll did. Nobody batted an eyewhen Pete Carroll did it. But Deon
Sanders comes in and does it,and now all a sudden everybody's in his
face about it. Is that adouble standard? Yeah? For me,
it is because Dion is coming froman HBCU and looking at the record last
year with the buffs that came ofa lot of height. I can't tell

(28:56):
you how many times that you know, Fox was here with the broadcasts and
Boulder. But that's kind of parfor the course, right. I mean,
we know we've seen a lot ofvideo from Dion Shador the whole CU
and that's kind of blown up.But once again, when you do that,
you now put that target on yourback, So you can't in one

(29:19):
sense say, okay, well nowpeople are judging us different when you are
kind of escalating it by the numberof views that you have in the videos
that you produce. But I stillfeel as though he's being a little fairly
unjudged because, unlike Pete Carroll,Dion is coming from an HBCU and that's
still in the back of the mindsof certain people. Yeah, and then

(29:40):
that may be the other component ofit. I think that it's both.
I think there is some unfair aspectsto the criticism, and then I think
that other things he brings on himself, you know, by the way that
he's sort of in your face aboutit. But the pressure could be good
for you. You know, youput a coal under pressure and what happens
becomes a diamond, right, Andso I feel like that with the way
that he does things, he's puttingthe hard diet on them that it's up
to It's up them to and himto meet that standard. Here's the difference

(30:03):
though, Like Prime was able towithstand that and handle it when he was
playing. The difficulty is being acoach and hoping your players take on the
same mentality that you have, andthat's what he's going. That's the hardest
thing to find. The cardianship mentality, the championship work ethic six well,
speaking of champions off field ethic,two University of Georgia football players were arrested

(30:26):
in reckless driving charge racing a thirdteammate, according to police reports. Report
obtained by Channel two investigative reporter AshleyLincoln says that senior linebacker Smail Monden was
racing freshman running back Demelo Jones atthe time of his arrest. Officers say
Monden was pulled over going seventy fivemiles an hour and a forty mile an
hour zone and a twenty twenty twoblack Dodge Charger. Jones driving a gray

(30:48):
twenty twenty one Porsche Patamara, pulledover on his own After officers stopped Mondon.
Mond denied knowing Jones and said theyhadn't been racing. Jones told the
officers he pulled up to check onhis teammate. Because Jones pulled over on
his own, it was not theprimary car being pulled over. The officer
did not arrest, only Game ofa ticket for racing. As Jones was
leaving, the police report says Mindto lean over and told him do not

(31:11):
say anything in the group chat.Come on, man, dude, Georgia,
what are you doing? You alreadyhad somebody die. Yes, Like,
what are you doing? It's almostas though either they are not respecting
what Kirby Smart is saying or themessage isn't getting through because this is a
continuing problem and Athens, the athletesare essentially turning Appens into their own NASCAR

(31:36):
trap. That's what it is,and there I say it. It has
a lot to do with the NIOright and young kids having low accountability and
having or driving fast cars. Well, all the above, but that you
hit on the thing that I wantedto bring up at the point. Here's
the nile point, right, becauseI feel like that this has allowed access
to more cash, cars and allthis kind of stuff publicly, But I

(32:00):
also feel like it's a disciplinary inflexpoint. We go back to the Mike
Gundy situation that we had earlier.You don't have to suspend Ali Gordon for
games to discipline them. You cantake nil money start fining players. That's
the interesting idea. But I'm justso, but now you you don't have
some kind of counselor reunion to kindof state what that is going to be

(32:25):
right now. It's a while west. So if you're the you're the coach,
you can just lay dou on thelaw and I have to figure out
probably while a lot of coaches arenot doing anything about right, they don't
want to get sued, but wellthey don't want that kid to transfer to
that right because you have to rerecruit your own roster. It's just a
frustrating situation. And Kurbi Spart's gotto get control of that program. This
