Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are good Bundy profits here saw implemented it earlier him
the mississ rolling around Grassmith.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Back there at Mission Control.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
We just saw a big play to Rashad Bateman, which
picks up another leg on my parlay here, which I'm
sure everyone cares about.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Uh, but uh, yeah, I watch a little Monday night football.
Get two games going, the double header.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
I hate that.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
By the way, I hate competing games going on on
Monday nights. I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
I'm fine with them on Sundays, well, Sunday afternoon they
have multiple games going.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm totally fine with it.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
See it on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Hate it?

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Why I mean, is Monday night football is so sacred
to you that you can't enjoy two for the price
of one.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I guess I don't know what the uh. I don't
know what the the the issue is. I don't know
what the issue is with all that. But I look
at uh, I look at the two games going on.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I guess my attention gets a bit divided.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
And I don't know why I want to have picture
and pitcher when I need better concentration at night.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Don't Maybe I'm an old I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I just uh.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
And for whatever reason, the Monday night football portion of
it just it throws me off.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
It's it's different when it's UH, when it's Sunday afternoon.
Like I said, I have no problem like ten games
going on and you know, on Sunday afternoons, but for
whatever reason, on Monday nights, I just I'm unable to
do it.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I want to get into a little bit of talk
about this the SEU Buffs football team, because all of
a sudden, they're searching all of a sudden, the see
you Buffs. They're sort of the talk again of college football,
and this time for the right reasons. I mean, not
that Dion wasn't generating interest in the program, certainly was,
but now we're getting to the point where they're getting

(01:31):
recognized for playing well. And you know, this was something
that I think was sorely needed because the shine of
all the Dion talk had sort of gotten to the
point where, well, if they don't start producing results, then
we got a problem. But we're seeing that, and we're
seeing it. I mentioned it earlier in the show, but
we're seeing it on defense. The offense is sort of

(01:55):
starting to click a little bit. They still got some
problems in that run game that they're gonna have to
get ironed down, I think.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
But they've got too many skill position.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Weapons that are too good for teams to hold them
in check defensively, and then on the defensive side of
the ball, they are starting the whole teams to check.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, here's the thing about CEEU.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Their team was pretty decent last year and there were
a couple of games that they should have won, but
they let teams.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, I get out of the gate late, like I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
That Stafford game is definitely one that comes to mind,
and there was an opportunity for them to beat I
think it was Oregon.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
State Beavers, but they just didn't know how to finish.
And that was the problem with see you last year.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
They started slow and they couldn't finish, and usually when
they were behind, they were not able to make up ground.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Right now, things have changed significantly this year. Pat Sherman
is still at the helm.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
You'll got Pat Shermer and Robert Lovis thing is carrying
that defense. But offensively, they're more talented than they were,
and that's including the offensive Line's be totally honest, the
offensive line. Are they where they need to be no,
are they better than they were last year? Yes, And
this is allowing the height train to catch up with

(03:16):
the production, something that coach Prime always felt that his
coach staffen as players could actually get to.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
For me, it's just it's good to finally see results
on the field starting to match the rhetoric. And I
think that'll be I think that's I think that's good
because my my concern was, you build up this hype
around the CU program, and then you know, if he
does move on to say a Florida State where they're
looking to make a coaching change at the end of
the year, you.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Know one is Colorado left with?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, I don't Well, first of all, this is back
up for a second. I've heard that a lot. First
of was coach prim.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Is going to go to the NFL and he's going
to Dallas Cowboys in doors, all right, And then it
was like, okay, well you just mentioned it.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Maybe he's going to go back to this Alma.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Minor oh by White before he became a coach where
the CU bumps.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Maybe in Jackson State. He interviewed for that job in
Florida State.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yea, they want they didn't want him to they gave
it to him, and that they right right.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Now.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Mike Novel, I believe, is the head coach for the
Knowles and for me. I've heard that talk about the
possibility of Coach Prime leaving the Bumps and going to
Florida State is alma mater, but that would be a
bad mistake I believe for both Coach Prime and Florida
State to kind of make that move, because Mike Novel,
you lost twelve guys to the NFL Draft, and under

(04:42):
LA he was supposed to come in from Morgan State
and be the guy.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
He's definitely not the guy.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
But for Coach Prime, you are establishing something and you're
doing something in Boulder that has not been done before.
I know there have been plenty coaches who've come before
Coach Prime, but you have to admit when you go
to a game, the love of energy that you feel.
I mean, the last game I went to, it was
Michael I mean, Russell Westbrook was on the side line.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
I mean, you look around the landscape of college football,
You're not getting solid lines like that.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's not a college football game, it's a cultural event.
It is, and that's what Pete Carroll knew back at US.
He's the same thing and made it a cultural and
that's how you get things in a built and in
the NIL era, it feels like that's an even bigger
deal than perhaps it was back before all that, when
Pete was running with bags of cash instead of the NIL.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I like my concern was if Prime LEAs I'm
not saying he's leaving to go to Flores State.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm saying, if he were to leave, one is Colorado
left with And if you've got a roster full of
you know, guys that came out of the portal, and
a coach is leaving and taking the lowis with him,
I mean the program in and of itself, that's where
I start to worry.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm like, are we going back to the Dan Hawkins
era here?

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Look, it's like the Ringland Brothers Barnman Belly circus.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
We're pagging everything up and we all on the move.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
That is, that would probably be the case, But I
don't see a scenario where coach Prime leaves. And obviously
every coach moves on at some point, but I don't
think because Shalloon and Chador moves on all of a sudden,
Now Prime, coach Prime decides and leave. You are building
something if you want something to be a part of

(06:20):
your legacy.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But I'm just saying it is a concern.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
There is an undercurrent right to concern with every single code, right,
But I mean it's.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
A little bit different when you've got you're the guy
who's in coaching for his sons, his sons are leaving,
Like is he really building something? Because that that's what
that's the undercurrent right now, there's a there's a segment
of Colorado fandom that is loving where we're at right now,
but it's concerned that the gravy train stops when those
two graduate moves on.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
I don't think Coach Prime is gonna do that, but
anything is possible.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I say, man, run into the willswallow.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
If you're a CU buzz fan, don't even think about
what's looking around the corner.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Enjoy this moment. How many times in lives.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Had we been so much thinking about the pass and
the future that we didn't even enjoy the moment? Right
It's almost like when you're looking at the Denver broncos Man,
enjoy the moment, watch the team start to grow. Watch
development of bow knicks, watch Boat make mistakes, watch bow
overcome those mistakes as well.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
But once again, live in the now.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
No, man, see, we're also we're also radio dudes.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
We got to prognostigate the future. And when you look,
excuse me, the schedule and the way it shakes out.
You've got a game against Cincinnati coming.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Up your home. Uh, since he's a tough team, but
you know that all of a sudden that listen a
little over, You're at Texas Tech.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You've got Utah just made an offensive coordinator change. Uh,
You've got You're at Kansas, which at the beginning of
the year you've probably said was a loss.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
But you're looking at Kansas now thinking that's a dub.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And then Oklahoma stayed at home end the season and
that looks winnable as well.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Let's say, man, I don't want.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
To get too far out of head and start looking
at winnable games. It was not winnable. No deal with
the game right in front of you. Try to build
on what the Buffs were able to do last week
against Arizona, the team they lost to Lascense at home,
so it looked like an entirely different team. And when

(08:15):
the CU receivers are healthy, Bro Sheppard to.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Fronte Western and you know Junior Horne, Junior.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
When you get those guys working, to me, that changes
a lot of things about what you can do with
your offense. And even though the running game is not
one of those ones that you can lean on all
the time, I mean, you gotta get you know that
running games and props. When they needed to run the ball,
they ran the ball. Now, the other thing they have

(08:45):
not developed is a tight hand.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
That too, feel like consistency in the run game needs
to be a little bit stronger.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
But you're right at the tight end position.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's almost non existing in this offense, which is odd
because it's a.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Big factor in Patri she Hermer's pro offenses.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
It is.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
But you have to understand what you don't have, right,
You have to understand the things that you don't have,
and then you can actually build your offense out.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, and that's I think, I think that's a large
portion of what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
We're live down here at the Sporty Pickle half mile
north of eighty four seventy on Peoria. Guys, come on out.
You got about twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Five minutes still to get registered for the Broncos Panthers tickets.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Got the QR cod right in front of this here.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
You come up here and you mentioned big guy, you
get a free twenty ounce beer. Can't beat that deal
with a stick. You mentioned my name, and they will
add one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
To your bill.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
So that's not something that you want to do. Looking
ahead to see.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You they don't have the bye week, they already came
off that after the UCF game. But you're looking at
you're looking at at a schedule that sets up nice.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
We got Saturday coming up, you got another late game.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
And by the way, see who's getting all of these
late games in prime time because of the buzz around
the program?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Right?

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah, you know what, Yeah they are been. But do
you really like that eight fifteen game?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I hate it. I don't want to be on Tell
mid night watching the game.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Right.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
But also that goes back to what the old PAC
twelve after dark used to be, which killed a lot
of opportunities. I think for me it hurt the chances
of christ McCaffrey winning a Heisman right possibly, And for.

Speaker 7 (10:26):
Me it's wouldn't that be like a big noon game.
I think that's a big noon game. I mean, yeah,
I'm not a post. We do have some early games
coming out. I mean the game are still clomb the
state end of the season at ten am.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
That's at the end of the season. The team is coming.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Off the next three or tvd's like, we don't have
a we don't have a time on them yet for
Texas Tech, Utah, Kansas.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
But the idea for me, the eight fifteen allows people
to kind of get to Boulder and hang out and
do all that. But to me, keep that in a
primetime spot. That's big noon football. Everyone can watch.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Boulder likes it better having people tailgate all day and
all that kind of stuff. They go to the game
or do you think the businesses and that like the
you know, the big news type game and then the
party and afterwards.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, I think for me, I would say the game
the big news, right because you get you get everyone
you know coming in, you know, and you have so
much of that foot traffic, and then you still have
that back end of the evening where people still can
If it's a victory, it comes right right sorrow. If

(11:32):
it's not, guess what come here, get a to go container,
and then go home. But for me, that's something that
you definitely want. But I like those big Neon games
because people get up for those big Neon games.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
What do you think about Texas fans throwing stuff on
the field against Georgia.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
That's fans being fans. Man, that's that's gonna they.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Throw stuff on the field.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Listen. I don't like them throwing things on the field.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
I'm not advocating for it, but I can understand a
game that's tied, got a game that has a lot
of ramification for like how the rankings are gonna fall out,
Heisman Trophy recruits. It's on national television and you feel
as though you're not getting a call that you should
get and you're at you're at home.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah, it gets frustrated. You gotta control yourself. Don't you
get me throwing stuff on the field. I'm not doing
on the field. I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I'm trying to protect you.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Listen. I'm not saying that I condone it.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
What I'm saying is I can understand the level of
frustration associated when you feel as though you're not getting
calls that you should get.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
When you're at home team. I'm all for booing that.
Let's boom boot the messalalog. Listen all of that.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Man, All it takes is one person to throw something.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
On the field and then here it comes. And that's
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But that's the problem. Like and where we draw the line?
Empty empty plastic bottles is.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
One thing that's not gonna hurt you, buddy, Well, where's
the line?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
What happens if it's batteries? Who there firing down?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Well, once upon a time, as the story goes, wasn't
it was?

Speaker 5 (13:02):
It was.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
It was a game where some batteries.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yourn so I heard unlegedly. Uh, and obviously you don't
want to do that. I remember Monday night football game.
I think it was a division game between Cleveland and
maybe I don't know if it was Cleveland and uh
the Steelers. Is something happened and fans started throwing bottles.
And this is when the league started to crack down.
And you know, they would say, hey, listen, either they

(13:28):
sold beer, they're selling it in plastic cups, or there
was no.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Beer being sold out at the halftime. It was that
that type of thing.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Now, once again, I don't condone doing those types of things.
But I don't know if you saw it. There was
and there's stillers game. There was a streaker in the games.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I did not see that.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously they didn't show it up.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
You're right, yeah, my feed so that she somehow made
her way down to normally it's a male streaker.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
It was it was email. Now she had on she
was clothed right, so.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
That she wasn't streaking. She was just on the field.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well however you want to classify. But she took off
and unless she had on heels. But the security took
them a little while to figure out what was going on.
There was a Pittsburgh still a guy who came in motion.
She ran passive before before they came on the field
and just that, and they didn't they didn't do her
like they would only do like the mail guy right right.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
They just kind of like, hey, miss, we need to
stop you here.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Because when it's the dudes, all of a.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Sudden, all of a sudden, every college and high school
linebacker out there is like, I'm showing off.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm for him right here. They're gonna get off the
couch for this one.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah, But once the end, it is very interesting. And
what's the end you look at? What's the decorum for fans?

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Right?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
And fans feel as though I pay my money, I
pay a lot of money. I should be able to say,
I should be able to do whatever the hell I
want to do.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
See, I'm I'm all for freedom, but you're right to
swing your fist ends at the beginning of my nose.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Well, once again, one has to think where one swings.
They have to be prepared for the counter.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm just saying, yes, like you know, you could do whatever,
but you're right.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know you have a right to swing your fish.
And it ends exactly. I can tell you where the
line is right here.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's literally right here.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well, when when someone's a little intoxicated, they have no
sense of directions on them, right, you're get heavy boost,
that's on you. I said, wait a minute, I'm seeing
I'm seeing two bands hit the one in the middle.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Look, I.

Speaker 8 (15:33):
Have been known to mbind an alcoholic and I'm just
telling you I know where the line is every time.
I know, you know, I'm not I'm not out here
trying to try to throw hands or batteries or bottles
or whatever else because I know better either I was
raised right or you know whatever.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
Well, you know, wait, you know how.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
It is in the college atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yes, I know exactly what it's like.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
But I still didn't do it. What the pregame is like.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
And then yea out there with you boys, and then
someone just going like, yeah, throw it, no, and you
don't even think about it.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh how they think about it. I'm like, there are
consequences to this.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I don't want to get in trouble, okay, especially in
the era of the cameras.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
And back then I might have been able to get
away with it. Now, yeah, I did.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Throw glasses on a basketball court one time to the referee.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Really, yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
You did slid out there, and they slid out.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Like they hit the court.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
They slid perfectly, like right to his feet, and the
whole crowd hushed like it.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Was you could hear a pin drop. At that point,
I'm like, I'm about to get caught, thrown out of here.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Everyone eyes went straight to like the devil on my
shoulder went one way, and the other devil on my.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Other shoulder was like you about to get posed, buddy.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
They both disappeared about to get caught. It might be
time to use the restroom and pretending to duck out.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Oh we're speaking of duck it out. We got a
duck I had a commercial break.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
We come back, CBS says, Roaming joins us on Broncos
Country Tonight we're gonna go right out to the ka
Common Spirit up hotline and bringing out our friends.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Ruby Bean from CBS Colorado rote me, how you.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Do this evening?

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Good?

Speaker 9 (17:00):
How are you guys doing?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I am It's my first night back in a while.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I'm trying to keep it all together, trying to keep
the voice together.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Nick is shaking his head at me, as sometimes I
even succeeded that.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
But we'll see people who are keeping it together. The
Denver Nuggets are keeping the core flour together.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Aaron Gordon's signs an extension here in the last hour
or so. What do we think about the Nuggets keeping
Aaron Gordon around?

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:25):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
I think it's a great move erin. Gordon's such a
good fit on the Nuggets. And it's kind of crazy
when you think about before he came to the Nuggets.
I don't want to see his career was flailing, but
you know, it just was. He was kind of falling
off if you really just wasn't in the right spot.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
And it just sucks.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
The perfect fit here he works so well. Obviously a
chemistry with Nicola Jokic, but he's great for also the
everything kind of the mentality, I.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Think, the in locker room leadership. He's just a perfect
fit in every way for this Nuggets offense, for everything
they do.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
And he's just a great human being as well, right,
He's kind of a mister Nugget as people like to say.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
So, I think that is a fantastic move, a huge
piece if they want to do what they want to do.

Speaker 9 (18:08):
Well.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
With that being said, romy do you think that this
signing keeps the window open for Nikola Jokis in the
number of years that he has with the Nuggets for
them to try to want another tier.

Speaker 9 (18:23):
Yeah, And I think, you know, I think everything that
the Nuggets are doing from this point until Jokic that
window I guess closes, is to keep that window open
for Nikoliokic. And you love to see it. Right, they're
making all that they're doing, all the things that ownership
that management should be doing to make sure that one
their best player is happy with the situation. These are

(18:44):
the players that Nikoliok wants to be surrounded by. He
wants to make sure that they're there.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
You know, he's got to say in these things, right
and if he doesn't want to player there, that player
will be gone. And if he wants to player there,
that player will be there. So you know, Calvin Booth says,
they're going to do everything they can to make sure
they win a lot of championships in Yokush's window. And
and they're they're talking, they're talking to talk, but they're
walking the walk.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Right now, we's again talking with CBS is romy Bean
romy It's it was an interesting, I guess week in
Colorado football. Obviously, the Bosss got out there, punished the
punished Arizona on.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Their home turf.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
The Broncos on Thursday night in prime time got out
there punished the Saints, a shortheaded Saints team, albeit uh
in prime time. And we get the Carolina Panthers coming
to town.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Things looking up for football around the state.

Speaker 9 (19:34):
Right now, Yeah, no kidding. I think it's a pleasant
surprise really on both with both teams that they're really
coming along and seem to be improving each week.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
And really you look at both teams and the defenses
on both teams have just been absolutely spectacular. H you know,
between the Albert Livingston and advanced Joseph Guide, we are
having the time of our lives right now what you
really are.

Speaker 9 (20:03):
But it is amazing what both defenses are doing.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
When you have defenses that play like that, you're always
gonna stay in the game. And I think for Colorado,
especially offensively.

Speaker 9 (20:13):
When you really didn't have much of Travis Hunter.

Speaker 6 (20:15):
To continue to just guys continue to step up.

Speaker 9 (20:19):
Is really impressive.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
And you got to give the offensive line credit because
we dog them when they're bad.

Speaker 9 (20:24):
But boy did they give Shadora Queen pocket.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
To work with.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
And when he has that, he really is one of
the best quarterbacks in the nation.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
I mean, when we look at the See You Buffs,
they have exceeded expectation for most and for others, they've
done exactly what they anticipated. If to See You Buffs
were to make it to a Bowl game, does.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Coach Prime become National Coach of the Year. Do you
see that happening.

Speaker 9 (20:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
I think that's hard because I think you might have
to write like get to the playoffs to be you.

Speaker 9 (21:02):
Know, national coach of the Year. I think if you
look at it big picture.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
It's taken seven games. They already exceeded their win total
from last year and from the year before that they
went from one win to four wins to now they're
seven games in and they're at five. I mean, what
he's done, and we'll see how the season ends, but
you can certainly.

Speaker 9 (21:21):
Make a case for him to be Coach of the Year.
But I just think probably.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
When it comes down to it, it'll be right. How
many ringing teams have you played? I think all of
that stuff plays into it. But to your point, they
think you could certainly make an argument for it, especially
if they finish up with eight ninety ten wins this season.
The turnaround that he's had in a short times, it's
just spectacular.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
You know, talking about teams that are having success right
now on the football side of things, but on the
other side, over all the ice, the Abs have been struggling.
They can't stop anybody. They really just have not looked
like the same team. Part of that, I think is
the youth right now, as they've got players out that
they'll be back.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
A little bit later.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
But to what do we attribute the as struggles certainly
in the season.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Yeah, I mean the first four games, I mean that
was rough. The first two were absolutely goaltending. Then it
kind of became the guys in front of them, and
you just started to almost wonder, like, is there something
sour in the locker room? And I don't necessarily think
that is, but I still think.

Speaker 9 (22:15):
That there's First of all, you're missing a lot of guys.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
The hockey salary cap is like ridiculously small, especially compared
to other professional leagues, and when you are without guys
that are chewing up a tremendous amount of your cap,
in Gablaniskog and valves Chushkin, it's really hard to compete,
like playing in simple right, And so I think that
obviously they've kind of found a little bit of groove
the last two games, which is great, but you know,

(22:40):
it paints the big picture that we certainly helpe Gablandascott
comes back. We're pulling for it, everyone's pulling for it.
But if he doesn't this year, you've got to make a.

Speaker 9 (22:48):
Decision because it's holding the team back.

Speaker 6 (22:51):
If he's not going to come back with the Valdichushkin, you.

Speaker 9 (22:54):
Know they've made the decision that they're going.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
To trust him. I don't know, you know, that's something
that you hope that he doesn't toul gown a herd
pumptseason in a row.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
So I think that stuff really loves large.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
Now again, if Gave comes back, I think that I
think everything made them and so I think it changes
the dynamic of so many things. But you just don't
really know when that timeline is and when that's going
to happen, and so I think it kind of hangs
over everyone's head a little bit.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
But isn't it up to the Avalanche Brass and Jared
Bennar to kind of fast track that because, like you said,
because there's so much money invested in lendis God, that's
kind of time that the team's hand behind their back.
And once again, you have a core group of guys, almost.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Like the Nuggets. Well, you have a core group of.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Guys, and you can't waste cal mccarr in the years
that he has just kind of waiting for Gabe.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
But shouldn't they kind of speed this up? And if
Gabe can't.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Make the situation or decision based on his health, should
they be willing to make the decision for.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
I mean, I think so.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
I think it's one of those things we've been waiting for,
I mean two seasons now for this right for Gabe
to come back, and it's just kind of been hanging
over everyone's head for all this time, and so everyone
is saying, you know, the people within the organization that
I've talked to is that he's definitely coming back this year.
But when he comes back, is he the same player?
That becomes another discussion as well that I think has

(24:19):
to be a very real, realistic discussion. Right this is
we've never seen somebody that come back full strength, I think,
especially in hockey. So I think there are still a
lot of decisions ahead as well on what that comes.
But at some point you have to make a decision
one way or the other. You know, we've talked about
this before, but you know, Gabe still has a seat
on a sweater, so there's no one with the captaincy

(24:41):
on the ice, and that to me still feels a
little bit weird. I think you need to empower somebody
who's actually playing, you know. So I think that at
some point you have to make that decision, But I
do I don't I don't think they'll make that decision
before this year is over.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
So you hope that Gabe comes back and in the
meantime time they have to find it within themselves as
the players to galvanize themselves.

Speaker 9 (25:05):
But you know, beyond that, if we are going to
go like Ex's and alloda, I do think that there
is a goal heading issue.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Does this team good enough to compete in the playoffs
with their goaltending as is not right now?

Speaker 5 (25:14):
No?

Speaker 6 (25:15):
So, you know, hopefully Georgia just started off in a slump,
but that's something that has to get better.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Talking with Roby Bean from CBS four Colorado, Roby, as
we look ahead to the Broncos on Sunday, you got
the Carolina Panthers, our old friend Jero Vero, the outlaw
Josie Jewel. But this looks like a very winnable game
for the never Broncos. As soon as you look beyond that, though,
all of a sudden it looks a little bit more difficult.
You've got the Baltimore Ravens, you got the Kansas City
Chiefs getting a great October. Building up this record and

(25:46):
building up this team is a good thing. But what
do you think about where we're going to be and
looking at this thing at the end of November.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah, I mean, I think this Panthers game, as you said,
it's very wonderable.

Speaker 9 (25:57):
I don't think that.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
The Broncos are at a point where they would be
overlooking anybody like you can certainly look at this, I
guess as a trap game because it just seems so winnable.
But I just don't think that the broad Goes are
at a place right now where they're good enough or
you could even take hockey enough to overlook the Panthers.
I think they will come out and they're really looking
to build on what they've been what they've been building

(26:20):
to this point, so I'm not really concerned about them
overlooking it.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
But it certainly is one that you have to get because, as.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
You said, the next two are a little bit of
a bear.

Speaker 9 (26:28):
But the season honestly opens up pretty nicely. When you
looked at it at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
You didn't think Cleveland was going to be a mess.
You didn't think Cincinnati was going to be looking the way.

Speaker 9 (26:38):
Cincinnati looks right now.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
You know, Vegas is has completely raided itself, so they're
a mess, you know, So all of a sudden. You
look at the schedule and I think it's opened up
pretty nicely for the broad goes to have a lot
of success down the stretch.

Speaker 9 (26:53):
But you got to win the games that you're.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Supposed to win.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
So you have to beat the Panthers.

Speaker 9 (26:57):
And you don't want to just beat them.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
You kind of want to beat him to a pulp
a little bit like you did the same to give
you some good momentum as then you take on a
tough stretch right on the road to Kansas City and
with Baltimore.

Speaker 9 (27:11):
So this is a key one. But the season has
really opened up nicely.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
Especially with the way the defense is playing. I think
when your defense is playing like that, you've always.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Got a chance.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
You got a chance in a lot of games.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
So I think the Broncos are going to have a
chance in a lot of games as long as the
offense can continue to build and keep doing kind of
the good things that we can see and do, stick
to the run game, dominate on the ground if they can,
and you know, as Bonix continues to get more and
most shuttled used.

Speaker 9 (27:39):
His legs, I think there is an opportunity.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
For this team to crack up quite a few win.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Well, when when we saw something last week Thursday that
we hadn't seen around here in two years. And what
I mean by that, coach Sewn Vaydon changed something in
his offense.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I don't know what was the reason why and how
it happened. I'm just happy that he did.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
But when you saw some of the moves and the
pre slat motion, things that are not known and associated
with Sean Payton's offense and allow Boenix Kinnas are rhy him,
what was the first thing that you thought?

Speaker 6 (28:12):
I loved it him and more. It felt like this
was a game that even though Sean Payton down played it, man,
he wanted to win, and he wanted to really really
win and.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Keep that mentality going for the next games.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
I thought it was great at the beginning of the game,
as everybody was talking about both what work was certainly concerning,
but he started to settle in, which was good to
see the kind of and and to see Sean kind
of mixed in some of those things that we just
hadn't seen, and I think a lot of us had thought,
all right, well, I guess this just isn't gonna happen.
It was really great to see. I think the most

(28:46):
interesting thing, of course, was the lack of Courtland Sutton.
It was very interesting. I know that you know, Seawn
schemes game to game and whatever he thinks going to
work to win that game, that's what he's gonna do.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
But I do think that's an interesting situation that bears watching.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
I mean, to have your number one receiver, you know,
only guy that's getting big money in that room, gets
one target and zero catches.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I don't know if.

Speaker 9 (29:11):
There's something more going on there or not, if.

Speaker 6 (29:13):
There's something to read between the tea leaves.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
But I find that pretty peculiar.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Talking with Sis four as romy Bean Roby, do you
think the Broncos can make any.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Moves at the trade deadline?

Speaker 9 (29:26):
Maybe I don't.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
I don't really see them making any big flash moves one, right,
because they're still kind of under under Russ's cap, And two,
I don't.

Speaker 9 (29:37):
Know who you're trading.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
If you were going to kind of send somebody out,
I don't know how much value they would necessarily get
right for a lot of the guys. And it kind
of seems like in the past year or so that
Sean hasn't been super willing to trade out as guys
from the offers that.

Speaker 9 (29:55):
We seem to hear, so I don't.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
I always like somebody to make a big flash, but
it's hard for me to see it, especially with this.

Speaker 9 (30:02):
Way this year is going.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
I think big picture still building towards.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
Something bigger in the future.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Right, they're not on the making a big trade is
not going to be the difference between contending for a
championship or not, because that's not where they're at right.
I think that this team as is, if you continue
to build, you probably cracked the playoffs, But I don't
know that a big trade would make kind of a
difference towards the ultimate outcome of this year.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Browie.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
We appreciate you joining us as always, look forward to
catching you on the CBS eating news, doing.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
The sports, and look forward to talking to you again
next week.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
Oh you guys look back.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
On all right, to take care well me being CBS four.
I always appreciate getting chance, doctor her. I think I'm
with her on that too. I don't expect the Broncos
to be hyper aggressive at the deadline. You do have
the RUSS cap charge still hanging.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Over your head. I don't really see them being aggressive
buyer resource sellers. What do you I mean? You know,
there could be.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Some moves made, I think, but unless the right pass
catcher at tight end came along at the right price,
I struggled to see this team making an aggressive move.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
At the deadline.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
Well, I may not be an aggressive move, but it
could just be a move for the moment as they
look towards the future where they look at their current
roster and it's okay, well, who are some of the
players that we're not really using them, Well, they're not
being incorporated into the officer side of the ball, and

(31:30):
look to part ways with those individuals and hopes to
get in some draft picks that they can move around
come twenty twenty five. That that's always a possibility. And
for me, I gave you a guy said the Viscus Chanault.
It's not a big name, but to me, it's not
about getting a big name in the blockbust and trade.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
It's about looking at.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
Your offense to say, okay, well, what kind of guys
that are out there that fits into our salary cap
and that can actually help our team much better moving forward?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Well, yeah, what piece are we missing? How do we
solve that, and I'm with you on that.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I'd love to see when I say aggressive, I'd love
to see them filling.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
The holes that we need to fill.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
But I don't want to see them giving up a
bunch of top end, top tier type draft picks to
be able to do that.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
No. I mean listen, over the past week watching with
some integrauis in Broncos Country have tweeted out they want
the Broncos to go make some moves from the lineman standpoint,
and I try to reiterate it to them. Most teams,
if you're training an offensive lineman, that means that that
guy didn't fit into what you were doing, probably is
not a good guy, right because most team in offensive linemen,

(32:39):
they don't let top offensive quality offensive lineman out.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
The offensive line in the corners.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
You like, there's a shortage around the league.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You're not letting them book for free.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Nick thinks that October is the best month of the year.
Maybe he's in that Ryan Edwards communist camp with all
the pumpkins spice a lotes. We'll find out about that
next on Brokos Country tonight.
