Speaker 1 (00:00):
To it.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Do you hider country tonight?
Speaker 3 (00:01):
Not sure?
Speaker 4 (00:01):
We're gonna sure, we're gonna last. The boss came in
here during the break, and uh why haven't.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
There's just not a more.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
Empathetic man to our plight than Dave Tepper. He seemed
very hympathetic. And if you can't catch.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
My sarcasm, yes, I'm thinking about who's.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
We A couple of times were you at a rock
and you're in here complaining about the heat the studio
where it's.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A balby what is it it's down to like seventy
eight now? And here?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, I happen to walk into the studio and you
guys were having that conversation, and the first thing I
thought was like, well, you know what, he's actually kind
of right based on the weather that you've dealt with
in the past, because I was wondering, at what point
you're gonna diggle the trein in here?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, I take the burn barrel out, make Greg go
burn the excrement.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'm not gonna recap that story, but longtime listeners will
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
When he came in, I was like, what are you
guys running a hot yoga studio in here in the
mornings or something.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like, what's what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
But we'll you know, there's nothing more relatable than on
air hosts talking about how uncomfortable it is to just
hear and talk about sports for our job that we
do for three hours a day.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I just thought I thought someone was baking and baking brownies. Man, right,
I mean that's the thing, like, if.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Somebody's out there right now, like I could hear the
Bill Burbit on this year, somebody is out there right now,
I mean just gotten off their job, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Put pitch on a roof, laying brick. Yeah, I'm saying
lay brick all day.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
And they get in the car.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They're listening to us, you know, sit here, it's a
little warming here.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Oh you know, Shelby Harris was in here Earlierry's trying
to get down the plane.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wait, and they had to turn up the heat a
little bit. I guess that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Jos takes to me earlier saying the heat be good
for my belly, so good for the good for reducing.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
To the belly fat. And the one time I agree
with Jeff Johnson.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Listen, I'll tell you with the prices per pound that
they charge you the NFL.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
When you wait, I mean, did they do it by
the pounds?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes, it's about it's about propound, okay, because see, like
I thought.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, because somebody I.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Had talked to, it was just they were over and
they had to pay the they had to pay the fine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
But like they charged by.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The pout, as I recall it, every pound that you
are over, or at least I know that's how it
was when Parts Sales is running the show that you
over a couple of pounds they charge you.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I mean there's not a lot of a meat market
out there that has these types of prices.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's not ever something you had to worry about, though, right, Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
No, No, I was good.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I just felt some guys though, Yes, those guys coming
in trying to sweat it out the night before way
in with those little drinking the.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Drinks, the Golden Seal, try to sweat it out.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, then you go to practice all dehydrated. That all
you're doing is lose a water weight.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And the Golden Seeal was for a different test, you
know what I want.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Everyone was exactly what I'm talking about to exactly what.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm talking about five sixty six nine zeros tex Sagne.
You guys would get fold in the conversation. Okay, I
can't even Grant's killing me right now. Yes, let's power move.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, you know what to see you boffs man.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Coach problem continues to just elevate his game to a
whole different level.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And you know, as of recently.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He invited fifty of the top high school coaches out
to see you, right, And.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I thought this was a brilliant thing.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And I don't know if any other college programs have
done this, but they bring these guys out, the guys
you know, sitting in their meetings, go through practice, and
I thought it was great because of several things. Coach
prim gets a chance who talks to some of the
top high school coaches around the country, build those relationships.
(03:46):
So now you fortify your talent pool by having that
pipeline in with.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That particular coach, that communication.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So if any other coaches come from any other parts
of the United States, he's going to think of you
first how you treated him. But also for those coaches
coming in, it exposes those high school coaches to the
collegiate program to see how it's run, how meetings are run,
how things are taught. And obviously, you know Coach Prime
is not gonna give all his trade secrets. But to me,
(04:15):
I thought it was a valuable thing for these coaches,
but also for Coach Prime. Here's the other thing that
it works well for Coach Prime. You know, a sign
of a good coach or a good organization is a
number of coaches over the years that you have to
part to go get different jobs. So as you start
to lose staff that graduate into higher positions, now you
(04:35):
build those relationships, you could bring some of those coaches in.
So I thought it was brilliant that Coach Prime and
the Buss of doing this. But for me, this is
just another power move. Yeah, I think there's.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Comple of It's interesting to me because it's a little
bit different era with players moving.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Around more than they used to.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
But back in the day that used to be the
kind of thing like Ilvert, Nebraska or whatever. They would
bring in the high school coaches and they say this
is what we're gonna run. And so they would tell
the high school coach, and the high school coaches would
take pieces of that and they'd start running it to
get the guys prepped for play. And at the colegia level,
you know, I mean the feeder program. It's a little
bit different these days. I mean when people going you know,
people don't stay in state as much and they move
(05:12):
around a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But there's there's still be a benefit to having that
creating at the Facto.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Farm says to make this is what we're running. So
if you want to get your guys prepped to play here,
this is what you need to be running.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
There's something to do that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It is. And then also here's the other thing, knowing
as though college athletics are entirely different than they were
fifteen years ago, and with so many guys jumping in
the portal seeking you know, cash out deals through nils,
once again, knowing those college those high school coaches and
building those relationships. If you see a guy who decides
(05:43):
who go to Ohio State right now, he's looking to
jump into the portal, you can go back to his
high school coach and tell them, hey, man, have him
holler at me right. So to me, this is I
guess the wave of the future because we have all
these seven h seven. He gives collegiate coaches an opportunity
to take a look at some young talent. But this
(06:05):
it provides a window into high school football at the
top level, because you're inviting in fifty of the top
high school coaches and programs around.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Now, it got me.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Thinking, you know, I mean, our own Dave Logan has
done a great job within his own right, but you
know I didn't see him as part of the group.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Well, he talks, He tells the story all the time,
how valuable it was for him. He got invited down
to Alabama with Nick Saban a couple of years ago,
and he said, just being able to watch how Nick
Saban runs practice and talks to his guys, he said,
that's something he carried with him back to his high
school coaching with Cherry Creek.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I was fortunate enough to
be able to view a Nick Saban practice once and
there was a receiver caught a ball in the sideline
like right in front of me, a trip and fell.
Actually they could slammed into me. Tripp and fell, and
then you know, kind of helped me up. And it
was weird because as I grabbed this and I just
started mouthing the words I commit to play football at.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Alabama's No, he's Nick Saven.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
A shorter in person than you think he is, but man,
he get through runs, practice through runs. It like everybody
is afraid of the smallest guy out there.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, once again, just just go back in time, right,
look at the time track and say, okay, well, who
was Nick Saban around to a point where he became
a feel general like that? You go back to being
around Bill, I mean Bill Belichick in Cleveland, right, Just
think about that.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
That's kind of where everything.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Started for Nick Saban as far as being under Belichick.
And then you take that and you say, okay, well
where did Bill Belichick earn his stripes? It was with
Bill Parcells. So you see the kind of track contained.
And I was telling the buddy of mine today.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
There's a reason why so many of.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Bill belichick disciples never really panned out and had unlust's
careers like he did, because they were just kind of
trapped in this kind of visual This persona Bill Belichick
without being the man himself, and not too many people
can run.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Their ships in that particular way.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Those who have have been successful, has Bill Belichick Buro
Purcels and excitement.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, and that's I mean, and that's one of the
things that people that aren't able.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
To find ways to make that success.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
We had a question comment on the text line from
Brian and he asked, you know, do gimmicks like this
make a program competitive?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And honestly, yeah, they kind of have. Why is it
a gimmick?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well, I mean it's sort of you know, I mean,
I think people have different terms, three different things.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's his phrasing there.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But I'll say things like that, little things like that
have helped to make program successful. That is one of
those things that has worked. Having your high school coaches
around the state.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Imitating what it is that you do and creating feeder
programs up for you, as well as the enhanced branding,
you know, getting your brand again so that the guys
want to stay in state, they don't want to go
to the you know, the other school.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There is value to that. It has worked.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I mean, I've seen it work in places, you know,
when I was in Arkansas, that's what they used to
do back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Even Steve could attest that when when Ken Hafield.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Came in, was there at Arkansas like the high school
coaches in the States switched to run and you know what,
Ken Hafie was running the option. You know, it's it's
one of those things. And then they spin to eighty
four too, you know, they were running the eye like that.
That's that's what coaches have done back in the day.
Now again in the NIL era, I don't know if
that translates, but certainly back in our era did. I
(09:36):
think it still translates because every kid out there wants
to get better and with the nils, guess what, they
want to earn more money. So how you earn more money,
It's based on how well you play and how many
different offers that you have from different institutions. You're able
to elevate how much money you're asking for. So the
(09:56):
way you do that is improve your skill set. So
if you can do that at with what your high
school coaches are teaching you, preparing you for the college
level both on and off the field, man, you're way
ahead of the curve.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I mean, we didn't have these seven h sevens, We.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Didn't have so many coaches taking a vested interest in
what we do in the off season in high school.
These kids are so far ahead of us from a
technology standpoint, Christian nutrition, and technique, I mean all of
that right. So for me, I would kill to be
a kid in this particular era and being able to
(10:34):
play a high school football then playing on a collegiate
level where you could dominate.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Bustin Syracuse, submit official paperwork for joint practice and scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
This is going to be the new normal. We talked
about it a little bit.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Is having an opponent and a controlled scrimmage a ideal
and be something that's going to be the trend for
spring games in college football?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Absolutely, There's so many collegiate programs who have done away
with their spring spring games for whatever reason. Maybe they
didn't feel as though it was lucrative enough to continue
that as far as putting fans in the seats and
what we can only call college preseason with that spring
game essentially is but you build up more anticipation when
(11:15):
you bring someone else in. It's you're creating a regular
season situation in the time of the college football season
when no one's really paying attention, there's no rankings, And
if they do this enough and enough colleges do this,
and you're able to see players still develop we will
(11:35):
now see more of the preseason rankings, right almost like okay,
well going through the spring, let's give our spring kind
of rankings, right, well, who you did what in the spring,
because we get that anyway when guys signed with the
collegiate teams, like who had the best uh I guess
recruiting ranking, you can get those rankings. So I love
(11:58):
everything about this idea allows you to be competitive, not combative,
and gets your work in against another opponent.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But also it gives an idea that where you.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Can see where you are now at the early stage,
and so you know where you have to go once.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The game's truly count.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, and I think, you know, it's interesting to me
that this got done on Twitter. You know, Coach Prime
put out that he'd like to do the control strimmage.
What happened fran Brown reached out on Twitter publicly. It
was like, hey, count of said let's do it. And
that's how this thing came together. Sort of interesting and
that I don't think that ever has occurred before. The
closest I can think of was shallow Keyo getting a
(12:36):
job in the Broncos by tweeting Wade Phllips. But you know,
a whole game getting up a program or something getting
scheduled because of somebody tweeting at another coach who put
the suggestion out there through the media.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's just sort of a fascinating glimpse. I guess into
the new media and you say that social media is
a cesspool.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh it's garbage. It's how guards.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Positive.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Got a positive on Twitter today shout out was the
guy I put it in the uh. I put it
in the group chat so you could see what it was.
But what was a guess name? Because Twitter is assessed
and Larry Vaughan Jr.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He said, we know Grant doesn't have Twitter, but he
passed along how much he's appreciated by Broncos Country.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
All he does behind the scenes. The comments adds dopeness.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
To the show.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's what I had And how awesome you did filling
when you were sick. Hashtag Grant appreciation post. Let's get
that trending on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I'm y is Larry Vaughan Junior.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's who. That's who sounds like a country. That's actually
my ghost, my burner account. I didn't about myself sometimes
he does actually have a Twitter.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That was after I said that other video earlier today
in the group chat, that's ridiculous. I was like, yeah,
I can't even get into that now, but that was ridiculous.
Not culturally appropriate for air, probably not, but it was hilarious.
And also that guy is incredibly talented.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Man what he can play the guitar shredding the guitar
Brad hot Curry pen verse.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm just saying, Roger against the machine five six six
nine zeros text line. Let's see what else we got here?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It was?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And again, I want to go back to this scrimmage
deal because to me, this is groundbreaking stuff. And I
know we've talked about it before, and I've been kind
of like mind blown a little bit by no one
having done it before.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
What was the impetus holding us back all these years
from doing this kind of stuff our kig forms of thinking.
That's the only way that I can look at it.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean, we've all.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Heard the phrase, if it's not broke, they're going to
try to fix it. So when you look at college
football from that standpoint, is like, well, they've been doing
things for so long, why disrupt the Apple car? But
sometimes you got to get in and you gotta you know,
shake things up just a little to make people think.
And we've seen coach Prime do a couple of things
(14:58):
that is kind of flip of what we thought college
football you know is and was so and so this
is why I truly believe this is just just my
thought that Bill Belichick is in North Carolina and then
they're doing East end season hard knucks in North Carolina
and oh, by the way, he was preaching, well, hey,
come to the Tarios because we have NFL coaches coaching
(15:23):
here at this school.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
There's no other place where.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You're gonna get that that that that schooling and that teaching.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Uh, the Prime is doing that too.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So Prime is kind of leading the way, or if
he's not leading the way, he has a little outside
of the box thinking where teams or individuals have talked
about doing certain things, but he's actually doing those types
of things.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Do you see this?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Could you see his video float around over the last
couple of weeks. Delan Roola, the quarterback in Nebraska. You know,
I see his jersey's like super snug, like he's game
is too much weight. Wait a minute, wait, he's listened
to two thirty and Matt Rule was out there because
somebody asked about it and he said, you know, he's like, uh,
(16:07):
Matt Rule came out and said he won't be a
great quarterback at two hundred and forty pounds and he's
listened to at two thirty.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But he looked a little more than that.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
And Rules said getting his body composition to one where
he could be fleet a foot and slide nimbly moved
within the pockety. So Matt Rule's literally talking about dude
being fat, you know, in some kind of way. He
came back and he said that he didn't actually say
he was two forty, but I mean he's listened to
two thirty. I think you can look at a video
and see there are some people that think that his
(16:36):
way to a red flag. But other people point out,
I mean cam Word played at two forty two fifty
this past year, Jared Lorenzo was six four to two eighty.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I don't think that impacts the player, especially if you
know how to carry it, you train with it, and
is not hindering you. And once again, does it take
away from your speed, your ability to drive the ball.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Down the field.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
If it doesn't eliminate those types of things in your game.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
We'll give to Nichols.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, I just it was something fun to look at.
We come back the check in with their NFL network
in sader Ian rapport.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
What you had to say on the k Sports show
earlier today about Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We come back right here in Broncos counry tonight those
country today.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I Ben's within al Brady Dick Ferguson grat Smith five
six six nine zeros to text a line. You guys
want to get involved the conversation. Some good texts coming
in there. Got us see here. Guaranteed money for nil
athletes so they will play in a meaningless spring game.
That would say, that's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's it's not a meaningless ring game. Obviously, it doesn't
count towards.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
To win and lost total.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But it is a meaningful game because it allows coaches
an opportunity to look and evaluate their rosters. If they
want to make any moves like an NFL team, they
can make those moves, they can get guys other guys
from the portal. It gives you an excellent evaluation. Two
(18:01):
to improve your talent before you ever touched the field.
Full a regular season game, and we know that the
competition level increases every single year. I don't see how
anyone can look at this and say, well it's wasteless.
I mean, you can put it on television, and if
the television networks are making money off of it, why
(18:21):
can't the kids not?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Well, there you go, and I think that I just
thought that was interesting as a text during the break
when I go back to what we were talking about
earlier the Kenway Sports Show at Ian rappaport on, and
he had some interesting comments. Ryan asked him about the
hot rumor that came out earlier today, which was absolute
garbage about the Cleveland Browns being in trade negotiations with
(18:44):
the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
So, Ian, there was a report circling around Twitter earlier
today that Dak Prescott and the Browns might be a
thing that could be happening. Is this anywhere related to
Rob Gronkowski possibly coming out of retirement?
Speaker 8 (19:00):
It's a similar vein. Yeah, it's not gonna happen. Dak
has a no trade clause. Also, there's no talks now.
I mean a few of the Browns, like I don't
know that they called. I never actually, no one actually
told me they did, but like I.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Would see why you would say, you know what, hey, like,
maybe we get Dak Prescott as our quarterback, that would
make sense. But if you're the Cowboys, if you're Dak,
none of this makes any sense. So I would say
it's literally nothing. But tis the season, you know, because
this is sort of when all this stuff happens. So yeah,
(19:33):
I mean I sort of.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Laughed about it today text with a couple of people.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
They all laughed too, and we kind.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Of moved on, which is okay.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I was one of those people laughing, by the way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Texted earlier, I was a jog when somebody sent me.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
This video and I said it to you, and I
was like, this is not even feasible, So why is
this guy doing this?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And so like I was like, all right, can you
get confirmation on this or something else somebody wants somebody
want to confront and they change.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Slater did like a little bit later, but.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It was so hilarious, like the idea that Dallas would
do this, which would cost them one hundred and fifty
million dollars in dead cap by the way, this year.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Because they accelerate a signing bonus already the.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Idea that they would take one hundred and fifty million
dollar dead cap and then turn around and.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And trade Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
They're starting quarterback for what exactly what draft picks, so
Jerry could go out there and get your door.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
A lot of this is hilarious because this comes on
the heels of that whole Rob Gronkowski situation, and we
know everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame or they
want that viral video, that viral tweet, and certain things
come on, Like in my team thread right with my
(20:47):
ex teammates, someone put this in the thread and I
was like, no way, that makes absolutely no sense. Why
would the Cowboys do that? And you don't get rid
of something that you know is for sure, you know
what something is, regardless of what people say on the outside,
for something that you are totally unsure about, it makes
(21:08):
absolutely no sense at all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It is almost as funny as Ben saying he went
on a jog today.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Maybe it's yogging soft Jay, I don't know, but apparently
you just moved for an extended period of time.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh that's from walking from your car to the front
door of the building.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And I've been Hey, I've been joking for a couple
of weeks. Now, you guys, look look out, I'm just
saying getting spelt.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
This is happening.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
See, I didn't understand your definition of jog.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean using jog means it's like running, yes, but
just kind of a slower type of In the Army
we called.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It an airborne shuffle. I was not sprinting, but yeah,
I went for about two miles. You're gonna be in
the speed walking competition Olympic.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
That looks ridiculous. I'm not doing any of that kind
of stuff. But you know, this was even This had
even less to it than the grond thing. That the
grondk thing at least had a local business owner with
ties to Gronkowski was telling media people that this was
gonna happen like this was some guy who I don't
even know who this guy is, Bruce something or other.
I've never even heard of this guy who's alleged to
(22:06):
be some reporter or something, and he's on some video
saying I know for a fact that the Browns and
Cowboys are in discussions about trading Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I saw that video, and they are not like they
were not at all.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, I know what we are weeks away from April first,
so maybe that was an early edition of an April
Fool's joke.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
How about that? Can we talk it up as that?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I don't I don't know this guy was serious though,
Is Bruce something or other Denim.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Or some Bruce.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That's how you pull off April Fool's jokes. You have
to be very sincere in your face. You gotta have
to have a poker face.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Bruce Grennan.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I had never heard of h I'd never heard of
him before, but he's he was out there and apparently
he's he's a sports commentar, like he's been around for
a while, you know, he's uh, he was a former
Major League Baseball announcer and did did.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Some NBA commentary something. He's on the Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
This is a seventy four year old man though, because
it's not like this is somebody who.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
You know, with some kid trying to drum up attention
for themselves.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Although I will say that later on, and this is
because I didn't know anything about this guy. Later on,
someone sent me some information about this guy, and apparently
he has served time in federal prison and has had
his house rated on multiple occasions by the FBI and
IRS as part of sports gambling investigations. He lost his
(23:33):
job in radio because of that, and he has been
doing online work ever since. And then in two thousand
and six, he served five months in a federal prison
for filing false tax returns. So apparently this is all
part of a comeback effort for a guy who's you know,
had some scandal.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Hey, we're talking about him. Yeah, I mean, I'm not
sure I want to be talked that this way. Hey, look, however,
you want to look at it. Whatever he was trying
to attempt to do it worked. Oh I'm sure stations
across these United States were.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Talking about him and how ridiculous it all sounds. But
guess what he wins at the end of the day
because people are talking about it.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, I don't know it just anyway, Like, to the
guy's credit, he's a nineteen ninety nine inductee into the
Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame. But he's also a seventy
four year old guy who's had multiple like weird investigations
and said something that was patently untru like just across
the board fiction.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well just think about it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
At his bingo parlor wherever he goes to play bingo.
He's very popular. Seventy four year old guy. People talking
about something wild that he said, and.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It certainly got more attention than any of this.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
You know, his typical tweets for him do somewhere between
seven thousand and eleven thousand views.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How much this this week did two million? Thank you
there you go. So I just said, like all those
other tweets, it's like seven to eleven thousand, this one,
which by the way, is a community on it now.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I mean, based on the two million, he's going to
walk into the Beingo Club strutting like he is John
Travolta is Saturday nineteen point.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I don't mess around with bingo ando, right, He's got the.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Verification badge, so he probably is in the money, you know,
like in the money Twitter money thing or whatever. But
I will tell you two million views on Twitter it
is not gonna make you much. It makes you like
fifteen bucks.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Hey. For him, that's not what it's about.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's about elevating his numbers of viewers who watched this
video to say either oh, that's very interesting or that's
very ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
So in this case, I say, he wins.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, I mean because two million, excuse me, too many
views isn't something to sneeze at per se.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I just well, you sneezed at it, though you kind
of dismissed it just a little.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Well, Benjamin all Bright, I know what that few counts
are and I know what they pay. Like, I do
a half million of views on every tweet I put out.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
See what you just did there.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'm not humble bragging. I'm out right.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Mon Ay, given a month, I do like two hundred
million views, and I know what that pays. So I'm like,
I like, you didn't make any money off this. You
made fifteen bucks lay half a million views in my sleep.
I'm just saying, well, I was on a job. I
believe it's it made be mocking job. I'm not one
hundred percent sure on.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That because grant, we don't have a physical evidence to
prove that that actually exists.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, and I don't think we ever will yees like
the quote tweets like those will do like thirty five
thousand or whatever. Like it's it's not I don't know,
I just like, I look at this and I'm like,
I don't know your name is mud at this point,
I don't, you know whatever, Maybe Bruce.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Drennan gets something out of who knows. Anyway, it was
the only thing that Ian got into today.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I had a little bit to say about the future
of Aaron Rodgers as well.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Here's kind of the.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Way it broke down, so free agency.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
The Wednesday of free agency, we find out that Russell
Wilson said it is at the Giants and the Browns,
and at that point, you know, the Browns gave him
an offer, and the Giants give an offer. The Giants
offer was obviously bigger, and Rush tried as hard as
you could leverage all the different teams in evolved, including
the Steelers. Steelers never engaged. That was never happening.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The Browns had an offer, but.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
It was really more of like a if you come cheap,
then we'll we'll be okay signing you. If you don't,
it's not going to be us.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So, you know, the offer that he signed with the Giants,
I mean the base value is ten point five million.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
That is you know, low bridge quarterback money. It's fine,
it's not nothing, but it's low bridge quarterback money.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
There's an incentive package.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
A really complicated incentive package, and you know, if he
plays great and they make the playoffs, he's going to
have a chance to earn a lot of it if
he does and he's going to have a chance or
none of it. But it's sort of what your team
that says, you know what, We're going to take a
chance on this guy. He's maybe going.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
To be our starter, but if he's not, it's okay.
And you know, I think.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Combined the Giants have something like fifteen million dedicated to
the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Kind of allows him to beef up the rest of
the roster.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
So that's kind of the way it looks for the
Giants and Russ.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
What do you think is next for Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Obviously he's the next big QB domino to fall, but
his options seem to be drying up, you know really,
you know by the day.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Well, we had two interesting interesting things happen in the
last twenty four hours. One was Aaron Rodgers only has
one more team that has an offer after him, and
that's the Steelers. You would say, obviously Rogers going to
sign with the Steelers. That makes a lot of sense, right,
except it hasn't happened yet, and he's going to take
his time.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He's told them he's going to take his time. So basically,
what it seems like.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
It's happening is this the Minnesota Vikings and Glacy del Fermancher,
the general manager, came out today and said, you know,
right now, they're not on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
They comfortable with the guys.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
In the room.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
But he didn't say it's it's never going to be
a possibility. So, like, you know, my guess is guess,
pure guest, that Aaron Rodgers lands with the Steelers. But
if he waited, he could see what Maybe something happens
with the Viker's baby.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
J J.
Speaker 8 (29:20):
Mcarty's knee is a're right.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Maybe he doesn't look good.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
No, ta's maybe they say, you know what, we've got assignment,
Like the doors still slightly slightly slightly.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Opened in Minnesota.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Not a lot, maybe one percent. But I just wonder
does he jump.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Knowing that, does he jump down to.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
The Steelers knowing that, you know, Minnesota is still a
one percent option.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
He might, he might, you know, I don't get the
sense he has a deadline from the Steelers, but that's
kind of what's going on. And then I would also say, like,
you know, retirement is probably also remote, but at least
a possibility for Rogers.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That was he wrapped worldarlier on Kaite Sports.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I've had conversations with people in Minnesota and I'll say this, like,
they're not considering Er unless J. J. McCarthy gets hurt
sometime between now and like the draft, Like that's not
gonna happen, And that's really what it's about. You know
that he has an option in Pittsburgh and that's it.
Like that, that's really it for Aaron Rodgers unless he
wants to retire, which I don't believe he wants to do.
(30:21):
Not that I have not had a conversation with Aaron Rodgers,
but just you know, conversations that I've had. The general
sense is people don't believe he wants to retire, So
what's the hang up? At this point, You're sitting there
literally waiting for dude to maybe get hurt so you
can go somewhere you really want to go, even though
they're not interested.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
For me, this is not about any of that.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean, when you think about Aaron Rodgers and his
past dealings with different teams. It's a power play. I mean,
you know that you have very limited options that are
out there. You got Minnesota. If they so choose, then
you have the stillers who are primed and ready to go.
You want to say, well, I'm gonna soft play this.
(31:03):
For what I mean, this is only one way that
I can describe it as being a power play. You
have a decision right in front of you. How long
does it take Aaron Rodgers to make a decision on
whether he still wants to play or not? Because I
don't have the statistical numbers in front of me. But
I bet Aaron wants to play because he wants to
(31:23):
try to get back to another Super Bowl too. I'm
sure he's tired of hearing about Peyton Manning and other
quarterbacks and Tom Brady being one of those. He needs
to solidify his legacy with another Super Bowl appearance and
also another Super Bowl victory. So he's trying to pick
and choose. But I mean, man, make up your damn mind.
(31:44):
You know that difficult.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I mean, you know, shall be made a point about
not hurrying a guy and that he has the right
to make his own decisions for free age, and I
get that hurrying the guy well, I mean, it's his choice.
He's a free Agent's his choice to make how long
he wants to take. But at the same time, and
you get guys like we talked about that Cam Heyward
over there on the Steelers, who are like, you know,
what's what's your thing?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Either want to be here or not? I sort of
I understand both both sides of that argument.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
For me, I just it's weird because the Steelers want you,
and you're obviously considering them. But if you're Aaron Rodgers,
like it's clear that you want Minnesota, who also does
not want you, and they've been very clear about that.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So what are you doing.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
You're sitting there just waiting for waiting around to see
if JJ McCarthy gets hurt, you know, in this recovery.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
This makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I mean, is Aaron Rodgers thinking that somehow the longer
he holds out, the more money he's going to I
don't even think it's a money thing, because the framework
with pittsburghs already in. I think he's literally sitting there
hoping that JJ McCarthy somehow hurts himself in his recovery,
that's that's lame, because.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
There's really it's weak as hell.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
If I am unless he's considering retirement.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Well look, if i'm Mike Tomlin, I'm taking a frame
of mind of I'm not waiting on you to make
a decision. I'm not once again, you're playing, you're holding
teams ransom.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Yeah, you're back in call.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
So if Aaron Rodgery continues to play that car, which
he's played it before, he knows he possessed a certain
amount of power walking in the building day one, whether
it's Minnesota or whether it's Pittsburgh, you know.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
It's either you take a dump or you get off
the pot.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Period.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, it's just a weird situation right now where it
feels like again that Rogers is.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Somehow holding out hope that JJ McCarthy gets hurt or
is not recovered enough. Man, he didn't have that cash
any anymore. That's not who Aaron Rodgers is anymore. If
you are a team and you let him do that
to you, you're setting up your team for fulfillment.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Well, I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I'm just saying that's what it sort of seems like,
and that seems like kind of grind me to me,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Rocos Country Night. We'll be back up to this
To it.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Do you hider country tonight?
Speaker 3 (00:01):
Not sure?
Speaker 4 (00:01):
We're gonna sure, we're gonna last. The boss came in
here during the break, and uh why haven't.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
There's just not a more.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
Empathetic man to our plight than Dave Tepper. He seemed
very hympathetic. And if you can't catch.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
My sarcasm, yes, I'm thinking about who's.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
We A couple of times were you at a rock
and you're in here complaining about the heat the studio
where it's.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A balby what is it it's down to like seventy
eight now? And here?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, I happen to walk into the studio and you
guys were having that conversation, and the first thing I
thought was like, well, you know what, he's actually kind
of right based on the weather that you've dealt with
in the past, because I was wondering, at what point
you're gonna diggle the trein in here?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, I take the burn barrel out, make Greg go
burn the excrement.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'm not gonna recap that story, but longtime listeners will
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
When he came in, I was like, what are you
guys running a hot yoga studio in here in the
mornings or something.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Like, what's what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
But we'll you know, there's nothing more relatable than on
air hosts talking about how uncomfortable it is to just
hear and talk about sports for our job that we
do for three hours a day.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I just thought I thought someone was baking and baking brownies. Man, right,
I mean that's the thing, like, if.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Somebody's out there right now, like I could hear the
Bill Burbit on this year, somebody is out there right now,
I mean just gotten off their job, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Put pitch on a roof, laying brick. Yeah, I'm saying
lay brick all day.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
And they get in the car.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They're listening to us, you know, sit here, it's a
little warming here.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Oh you know, Shelby Harris was in here Earlierry's trying
to get down the plane.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Wait, and they had to turn up the heat a
little bit. I guess that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Jos takes to me earlier saying the heat be good
for my belly, so good for the good for reducing.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
To the belly fat. And the one time I agree
with Jeff Johnson.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Listen, I'll tell you with the prices per pound that
they charge you the NFL.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
When you wait, I mean, did they do it by
the pounds?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes, it's about it's about propound, okay, because see, like
I thought.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, because somebody I.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Had talked to, it was just they were over and
they had to pay the they had to pay the fine.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
But like they charged by.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The pout, as I recall it, every pound that you
are over, or at least I know that's how it
was when Parts Sales is running the show that you
over a couple of pounds they charge you.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I mean there's not a lot of a meat market
out there that has these types of prices.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's not ever something you had to worry about, though, right, Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
No, No, I was good.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I just felt some guys though, Yes, those guys coming
in trying to sweat it out the night before way
in with those little drinking the.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Drinks, the Golden Seal, try to sweat it out.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, then you go to practice all dehydrated. That all
you're doing is lose a water weight.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And the Golden Seeal was for a different test, you
know what I want.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Everyone was exactly what I'm talking about to exactly what.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm talking about five sixty six nine zeros tex Sagne.
You guys would get fold in the conversation. Okay, I
can't even Grant's killing me right now. Yes, let's power move.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, you know what to see you boffs man.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Coach problem continues to just elevate his game to a
whole different level.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And you know, as of recently.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He invited fifty of the top high school coaches out
to see you, right, And.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I thought this was a brilliant thing.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And I don't know if any other college programs have
done this, but they bring these guys out, the guys
you know, sitting in their meetings, go through practice, and
I thought it was great because of several things. Coach
prim gets a chance who talks to some of the
top high school coaches around the country, build those relationships.
(03:46):
So now you fortify your talent pool by having that
pipeline in with.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
That particular coach, that communication.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So if any other coaches come from any other parts
of the United States, he's going to think of you
first how you treated him. But also for those coaches
coming in, it exposes those high school coaches to the
collegiate program to see how it's run, how meetings are run,
how things are taught. And obviously, you know Coach Prime
is not gonna give all his trade secrets. But to me,
(04:15):
I thought it was a valuable thing for these coaches,
but also for Coach Prime. Here's the other thing that
it works well for Coach Prime. You know, a sign
of a good coach or a good organization is a
number of coaches over the years that you have to
part to go get different jobs. So as you start
to lose staff that graduate into higher positions, now you
(04:35):
build those relationships, you could bring some of those coaches in.
So I thought it was brilliant that Coach Prime and
the Buss of doing this. But for me, this is
just another power move. Yeah, I think there's.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Comple of It's interesting to me because it's a little
bit different era with players moving.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Around more than they used to.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
But back in the day that used to be the
kind of thing like Ilvert, Nebraska or whatever. They would
bring in the high school coaches and they say this
is what we're gonna run. And so they would tell
the high school coach, and the high school coaches would
take pieces of that and they'd start running it to
get the guys prepped for play. And at the colegia level,
you know, I mean the feeder program. It's a little
bit different these days. I mean when people going you know,
people don't stay in state as much and they move
(05:12):
around a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But there's there's still be a benefit to having that
creating at the Facto.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Farm says to make this is what we're running. So
if you want to get your guys prepped to play here,
this is what you need to be running.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
There's something to do that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It is. And then also here's the other thing, knowing
as though college athletics are entirely different than they were
fifteen years ago, and with so many guys jumping in
the portal seeking you know, cash out deals through nils,
once again, knowing those college those high school coaches and
building those relationships. If you see a guy who decides
(05:43):
who go to Ohio State right now, he's looking to
jump into the portal, you can go back to his
high school coach and tell them, hey, man, have him
holler at me right. So to me, this is I
guess the wave of the future because we have all
these seven h seven. He gives collegiate coaches an opportunity
to take a look at some young talent. But this
(06:05):
it provides a window into high school football at the
top level, because you're inviting in fifty of the top
high school coaches and programs around.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Now, it got me.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Thinking, you know, I mean, our own Dave Logan has
done a great job within his own right, but you
know I didn't see him as part of the group.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Well, he talks, He tells the story all the time,
how valuable it was for him. He got invited down
to Alabama with Nick Saban a couple of years ago,
and he said, just being able to watch how Nick
Saban runs practice and talks to his guys, he said,
that's something he carried with him back to his high
school coaching with Cherry Creek.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I was fortunate enough to
be able to view a Nick Saban practice once and
there was a receiver caught a ball in the sideline
like right in front of me, a trip and fell.
Actually they could slammed into me. Tripp and fell, and
then you know, kind of helped me up. And it
was weird because as I grabbed this and I just
started mouthing the words I commit to play football at.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Alabama's No, he's Nick Saven.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
A shorter in person than you think he is, but man,
he get through runs, practice through runs. It like everybody
is afraid of the smallest guy out there.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, once again, just just go back in time, right,
look at the time track and say, okay, well, who
was Nick Saban around to a point where he became
a feel general like that? You go back to being
around Bill, I mean Bill Belichick in Cleveland, right, Just
think about that.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
That's kind of where everything.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Started for Nick Saban as far as being under Belichick.
And then you take that and you say, okay, well
where did Bill Belichick earn his stripes? It was with
Bill Parcells. So you see the kind of track contained.
And I was telling the buddy of mine today.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
There's a reason why so many of.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Bill belichick disciples never really panned out and had unlust's
careers like he did, because they were just kind of
trapped in this kind of visual This persona Bill Belichick
without being the man himself, and not too many people
can run.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Their ships in that particular way.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Those who have have been successful, has Bill Belichick Buro
Purcels and excitement.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, and that's I mean, and that's one of the
things that people that aren't able.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
To find ways to make that success.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
We had a question comment on the text line from
Brian and he asked, you know, do gimmicks like this
make a program competitive?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And honestly, yeah, they kind of have. Why is it
a gimmick?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well, I mean it's sort of you know, I mean,
I think people have different terms, three different things.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's his phrasing there.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But I'll say things like that, little things like that
have helped to make program successful. That is one of
those things that has worked. Having your high school coaches
around the state.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Imitating what it is that you do and creating feeder
programs up for you, as well as the enhanced branding,
you know, getting your brand again so that the guys
want to stay in state, they don't want to go
to the you know, the other school.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There is value to that. It has worked.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I mean, I've seen it work in places, you know,
when I was in Arkansas, that's what they used to
do back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Even Steve could attest that when when Ken Hafield.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Came in, was there at Arkansas like the high school
coaches in the States switched to run and you know what,
Ken Hafie was running the option. You know, it's it's
one of those things. And then they spin to eighty
four too, you know, they were running the eye like that.
That's that's what coaches have done back in the day.
Now again in the NIL era, I don't know if
that translates, but certainly back in our era did. I
(09:36):
think it still translates because every kid out there wants
to get better and with the nils, guess what, they
want to earn more money. So how you earn more money,
It's based on how well you play and how many
different offers that you have from different institutions. You're able
to elevate how much money you're asking for. So the
(09:56):
way you do that is improve your skill set. So
if you can do that at with what your high
school coaches are teaching you, preparing you for the college
level both on and off the field, man, you're way
ahead of the curve.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I mean, we didn't have these seven h sevens, We.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Didn't have so many coaches taking a vested interest in
what we do in the off season in high school.
These kids are so far ahead of us from a
technology standpoint, Christian nutrition, and technique, I mean all of
that right. So for me, I would kill to be
a kid in this particular era and being able to
(10:34):
play a high school football then playing on a collegiate
level where you could dominate.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Bustin Syracuse, submit official paperwork for joint practice and scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
This is going to be the new normal. We talked
about it a little bit.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Is having an opponent and a controlled scrimmage a ideal
and be something that's going to be the trend for
spring games in college football?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Absolutely, There's so many collegiate programs who have done away
with their spring spring games for whatever reason. Maybe they
didn't feel as though it was lucrative enough to continue
that as far as putting fans in the seats and
what we can only call college preseason with that spring
game essentially is but you build up more anticipation when
(11:15):
you bring someone else in. It's you're creating a regular
season situation in the time of the college football season
when no one's really paying attention, there's no rankings, And
if they do this enough and enough colleges do this,
and you're able to see players still develop we will
(11:35):
now see more of the preseason rankings, right almost like okay,
well going through the spring, let's give our spring kind
of rankings, right, well, who you did what in the spring,
because we get that anyway when guys signed with the
collegiate teams, like who had the best uh I guess
recruiting ranking, you can get those rankings. So I love
(11:58):
everything about this idea allows you to be competitive, not combative,
and gets your work in against another opponent.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But also it gives an idea that where you.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Can see where you are now at the early stage,
and so you know where you have to go once.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The game's truly count.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, and I think, you know, it's interesting to me
that this got done on Twitter. You know, Coach Prime
put out that he'd like to do the control strimmage.
What happened fran Brown reached out on Twitter publicly. It
was like, hey, count of said let's do it. And
that's how this thing came together. Sort of interesting and
that I don't think that ever has occurred before. The
closest I can think of was shallow Keyo getting a
(12:36):
job in the Broncos by tweeting Wade Phllips. But you know,
a whole game getting up a program or something getting
scheduled because of somebody tweeting at another coach who put
the suggestion out there through the media.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's just sort of a fascinating glimpse. I guess into
the new media and you say that social media is
a cesspool.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh it's garbage. It's how guards.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Positive.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Got a positive on Twitter today shout out was the
guy I put it in the uh. I put it
in the group chat so you could see what it was.
But what was a guess name? Because Twitter is assessed
and Larry Vaughan Jr.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
He said, we know Grant doesn't have Twitter, but he
passed along how much he's appreciated by Broncos Country.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
All he does behind the scenes. The comments adds dopeness.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
To the show.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's what I had And how awesome you did filling
when you were sick. Hashtag Grant appreciation post. Let's get
that trending on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I'm y is Larry Vaughan Junior.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's who. That's who sounds like a country. That's actually
my ghost, my burner account. I didn't about myself sometimes
he does actually have a Twitter.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That was after I said that other video earlier today
in the group chat, that's ridiculous. I was like, yeah,
I can't even get into that now, but that was ridiculous.
Not culturally appropriate for air, probably not, but it was hilarious.
And also that guy is incredibly talented.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Man what he can play the guitar shredding the guitar
Brad hot Curry pen verse.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm just saying, Roger against the machine five six six
nine zeros text line. Let's see what else we got here?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
It was?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
And again, I want to go back to this scrimmage
deal because to me, this is groundbreaking stuff. And I
know we've talked about it before, and I've been kind
of like mind blown a little bit by no one
having done it before.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
What was the impetus holding us back all these years
from doing this kind of stuff our kig forms of thinking.
That's the only way that I can look at it.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I mean, we've all.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Heard the phrase, if it's not broke, they're going to
try to fix it. So when you look at college
football from that standpoint, is like, well, they've been doing
things for so long, why disrupt the Apple car? But
sometimes you got to get in and you gotta you know,
shake things up just a little to make people think.
And we've seen coach Prime do a couple of things
(14:58):
that is kind of flip of what we thought college
football you know is and was so and so this
is why I truly believe this is just just my
thought that Bill Belichick is in North Carolina and then
they're doing East end season hard knucks in North Carolina
and oh, by the way, he was preaching, well, hey,
come to the Tarios because we have NFL coaches coaching
(15:23):
here at this school.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
There's no other place where.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You're gonna get that that that that schooling and that teaching.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Uh, the Prime is doing that too.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So Prime is kind of leading the way, or if
he's not leading the way, he has a little outside
of the box thinking where teams or individuals have talked
about doing certain things, but he's actually doing those types
of things.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Do you see this?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Could you see his video float around over the last
couple of weeks. Delan Roola, the quarterback in Nebraska. You know,
I see his jersey's like super snug, like he's game
is too much weight. Wait a minute, wait, he's listened
to two thirty and Matt Rule was out there because
somebody asked about it and he said, you know, he's like, uh,
(16:07):
Matt Rule came out and said he won't be a
great quarterback at two hundred and forty pounds and he's
listened to at two thirty.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But he looked a little more than that.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
And Rules said getting his body composition to one where
he could be fleet a foot and slide nimbly moved
within the pockety. So Matt Rule's literally talking about dude
being fat, you know, in some kind of way. He
came back and he said that he didn't actually say
he was two forty, but I mean he's listened to
two thirty. I think you can look at a video
and see there are some people that think that his
(16:36):
way to a red flag. But other people point out,
I mean cam Word played at two forty two fifty
this past year, Jared Lorenzo was six four to two eighty.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I don't think that impacts the player, especially if you
know how to carry it, you train with it, and
is not hindering you. And once again, does it take
away from your speed, your ability to drive the ball.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Down the field.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
If it doesn't eliminate those types of things in your game.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
We'll give to Nichols.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, I just it was something fun to look at.
We come back the check in with their NFL network
in sader Ian rapport.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
What you had to say on the k Sports show
earlier today about Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We come back right here in Broncos counry tonight those
country today.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I Ben's within al Brady Dick Ferguson grat Smith five
six six nine zeros to text a line. You guys
want to get involved the conversation. Some good texts coming
in there. Got us see here. Guaranteed money for nil
athletes so they will play in a meaningless spring game.
That would say, that's an interesting take.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
That's it's not a meaningless ring game. Obviously, it doesn't
count towards.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
To win and lost total.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But it is a meaningful game because it allows coaches
an opportunity to look and evaluate their rosters. If they
want to make any moves like an NFL team, they
can make those moves, they can get guys other guys
from the portal. It gives you an excellent evaluation. Two
(18:01):
to improve your talent before you ever touched the field.
Full a regular season game, and we know that the
competition level increases every single year. I don't see how
anyone can look at this and say, well it's wasteless.
I mean, you can put it on television, and if
the television networks are making money off of it, why
(18:21):
can't the kids not?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Well, there you go, and I think that I just
thought that was interesting as a text during the break
when I go back to what we were talking about
earlier the Kenway Sports Show at Ian rappaport on, and
he had some interesting comments. Ryan asked him about the
hot rumor that came out earlier today, which was absolute
garbage about the Cleveland Browns being in trade negotiations with
(18:44):
the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
So, Ian, there was a report circling around Twitter earlier
today that Dak Prescott and the Browns might be a
thing that could be happening. Is this anywhere related to
Rob Gronkowski possibly coming out of retirement?
Speaker 8 (19:00):
It's a similar vein. Yeah, it's not gonna happen. Dak
has a no trade clause. Also, there's no talks now.
I mean a few of the Browns, like I don't
know that they called. I never actually, no one actually
told me they did, but like I.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Would see why you would say, you know what, hey, like,
maybe we get Dak Prescott as our quarterback, that would
make sense. But if you're the Cowboys, if you're Dak,
none of this makes any sense. So I would say
it's literally nothing. But tis the season, you know, because
this is sort of when all this stuff happens. So yeah,
(19:33):
I mean I sort of.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Laughed about it today text with a couple of people.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
They all laughed too, and we kind.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Of moved on, which is okay.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I was one of those people laughing, by the way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Texted earlier, I was a jog when somebody sent me.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
This video and I said it to you, and I
was like, this is not even feasible, So why is
this guy doing this?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And so like I was like, all right, can you
get confirmation on this or something else somebody wants somebody
want to confront and they change.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Slater did like a little bit later, but.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
It was so hilarious, like the idea that Dallas would
do this, which would cost them one hundred and fifty
million dollars in dead cap by the way, this year.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Because they accelerate a signing bonus already the.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Idea that they would take one hundred and fifty million
dollar dead cap and then turn around and.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And trade Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
They're starting quarterback for what exactly what draft picks, so
Jerry could go out there and get your door.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
A lot of this is hilarious because this comes on
the heels of that whole Rob Gronkowski situation, and we
know everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame or they
want that viral video, that viral tweet, and certain things
come on, Like in my team thread right with my
(20:47):
ex teammates, someone put this in the thread and I
was like, no way, that makes absolutely no sense. Why
would the Cowboys do that? And you don't get rid
of something that you know is for sure, you know
what something is, regardless of what people say on the outside,
for something that you are totally unsure about, it makes
(21:08):
absolutely no sense at all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It is almost as funny as Ben saying he went
on a jog today.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Maybe it's yogging soft Jay, I don't know, but apparently
you just moved for an extended period of time.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh that's from walking from your car to the front
door of the building.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And I've been Hey, I've been joking for a couple
of weeks. Now, you guys, look look out, I'm just
saying getting spelt.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
This is happening.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
See, I didn't understand your definition of jog.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean using jog means it's like running, yes, but
just kind of a slower type of In the Army
we called.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It an airborne shuffle. I was not sprinting, but yeah,
I went for about two miles. You're gonna be in
the speed walking competition Olympic.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
That looks ridiculous. I'm not doing any of that kind
of stuff. But you know, this was even This had
even less to it than the grond thing. That the
grondk thing at least had a local business owner with
ties to Gronkowski was telling media people that this was
gonna happen like this was some guy who I don't
even know who this guy is, Bruce something or other.
I've never even heard of this guy who's alleged to
(22:06):
be some reporter or something, and he's on some video
saying I know for a fact that the Browns and
Cowboys are in discussions about trading Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I saw that video, and they are not like they
were not at all.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, I know what we are weeks away from April first,
so maybe that was an early edition of an April
Fool's joke.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
How about that? Can we talk it up as that?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I don't I don't know this guy was serious though,
Is Bruce something or other Denim.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Or some Bruce.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That's how you pull off April Fool's jokes. You have
to be very sincere in your face. You gotta have
to have a poker face.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, Bruce Grennan.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I had never heard of h I'd never heard of
him before, but he's he was out there and apparently
he's he's a sports commentar, like he's been around for
a while, you know, he's uh, he was a former
Major League Baseball announcer and did did.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Some NBA commentary something. He's on the Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
This is a seventy four year old man though, because
it's not like this is somebody who.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
You know, with some kid trying to drum up attention
for themselves.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Although I will say that later on, and this is
because I didn't know anything about this guy. Later on,
someone sent me some information about this guy, and apparently
he has served time in federal prison and has had
his house rated on multiple occasions by the FBI and
IRS as part of sports gambling investigations. He lost his
(23:33):
job in radio because of that, and he has been
doing online work ever since. And then in two thousand
and six, he served five months in a federal prison
for filing false tax returns. So apparently this is all
part of a comeback effort for a guy who's you know,
had some scandal.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
Hey, we're talking about him. Yeah, I mean, I'm not
sure I want to be talked that this way. Hey, look, however,
you want to look at it. Whatever he was trying
to attempt to do it worked. Oh I'm sure stations
across these United States were.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Talking about him and how ridiculous it all sounds. But
guess what he wins at the end of the day
because people are talking about it.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, I don't know it just anyway, Like, to the
guy's credit, he's a nineteen ninety nine inductee into the
Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame. But he's also a seventy
four year old guy who's had multiple like weird investigations
and said something that was patently untru like just across
the board fiction.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well just think about it.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
At his bingo parlor wherever he goes to play bingo.
He's very popular. Seventy four year old guy. People talking
about something wild that he said, and.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
It certainly got more attention than any of this.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
You know, his typical tweets for him do somewhere between
seven thousand and eleven thousand views.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
How much this this week did two million? Thank you
there you go. So I just said, like all those
other tweets, it's like seven to eleven thousand, this one,
which by the way, is a community on it now.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I mean, based on the two million, he's going to
walk into the Beingo Club strutting like he is John
Travolta is Saturday nineteen point.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I don't mess around with bingo ando, right, He's got the.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Verification badge, so he probably is in the money, you know,
like in the money Twitter money thing or whatever. But
I will tell you two million views on Twitter it
is not gonna make you much. It makes you like
fifteen bucks.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Hey. For him, that's not what it's about.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's about elevating his numbers of viewers who watched this
video to say either oh, that's very interesting or that's
very ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
So in this case, I say, he wins.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, I mean because two million, excuse me, too many
views isn't something to sneeze at per se.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
I just well, you sneezed at it, though you kind
of dismissed it just a little.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Well, Benjamin all Bright, I know what that few counts
are and I know what they pay. Like, I do
a half million of views on every tweet I put out.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
See what you just did there.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'm not humble bragging. I'm out right.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Mon Ay, given a month, I do like two hundred
million views, and I know what that pays. So I'm like,
I like, you didn't make any money off this. You
made fifteen bucks lay half a million views in my sleep.
I'm just saying, well, I was on a job. I
believe it's it made be mocking job. I'm not one
hundred percent sure on.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
That because grant, we don't have a physical evidence to
prove that that actually exists.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, and I don't think we ever will yees like
the quote tweets like those will do like thirty five
thousand or whatever. Like it's it's not I don't know,
I just like, I look at this and I'm like,
I don't know your name is mud at this point,
I don't, you know whatever, Maybe Bruce.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Drennan gets something out of who knows. Anyway, it was
the only thing that Ian got into today.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I had a little bit to say about the future
of Aaron Rodgers as well.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Here's kind of the.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Way it broke down, so free agency.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
The Wednesday of free agency, we find out that Russell
Wilson said it is at the Giants and the Browns,
and at that point, you know, the Browns gave him
an offer, and the Giants give an offer. The Giants
offer was obviously bigger, and Rush tried as hard as
you could leverage all the different teams in evolved, including
the Steelers. Steelers never engaged. That was never happening.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
The Browns had an offer, but.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
It was really more of like a if you come cheap,
then we'll we'll be okay signing you. If you don't,
it's not going to be us.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So, you know, the offer that he signed with the Giants,
I mean the base value is ten point five million.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
That is you know, low bridge quarterback money. It's fine,
it's not nothing, but it's low bridge quarterback money.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
There's an incentive package.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
A really complicated incentive package, and you know, if he
plays great and they make the playoffs, he's going to
have a chance to earn a lot of it if
he does and he's going to have a chance or
none of it. But it's sort of what your team
that says, you know what, We're going to take a
chance on this guy. He's maybe going.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
To be our starter, but if he's not, it's okay.
And you know, I think.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Combined the Giants have something like fifteen million dedicated to
the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Kind of allows him to beef up the rest of
the roster.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
So that's kind of the way it looks for the
Giants and Russ.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
What do you think is next for Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Obviously he's the next big QB domino to fall, but
his options seem to be drying up, you know really,
you know by the day.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
Well, we had two interesting interesting things happen in the
last twenty four hours. One was Aaron Rodgers only has
one more team that has an offer after him, and
that's the Steelers. You would say, obviously Rogers going to
sign with the Steelers. That makes a lot of sense, right,
except it hasn't happened yet, and he's going to take
his time.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He's told them he's going to take his time. So basically,
what it seems like.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
It's happening is this the Minnesota Vikings and Glacy del Fermancher,
the general manager, came out today and said, you know,
right now, they're not on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
They comfortable with the guys.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
In the room.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
But he didn't say it's it's never going to be
a possibility. So, like, you know, my guess is guess,
pure guest, that Aaron Rodgers lands with the Steelers. But
if he waited, he could see what Maybe something happens
with the Viker's baby.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
J J.
Speaker 8 (29:20):
Mcarty's knee is a're right.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Maybe he doesn't look good.
Speaker 8 (29:21):
No, ta's maybe they say, you know what, we've got assignment,
Like the doors still slightly slightly slightly.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Opened in Minnesota.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Not a lot, maybe one percent. But I just wonder
does he jump.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Knowing that, does he jump down to.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
The Steelers knowing that, you know, Minnesota is still a
one percent option.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
He might, he might, you know, I don't get the
sense he has a deadline from the Steelers, but that's
kind of what's going on. And then I would also say, like,
you know, retirement is probably also remote, but at least
a possibility for Rogers.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That was he wrapped worldarlier on Kaite Sports.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I've had conversations with people in Minnesota and I'll say this, like,
they're not considering Er unless J. J. McCarthy gets hurt
sometime between now and like the draft, Like that's not
gonna happen, And that's really what it's about. You know
that he has an option in Pittsburgh and that's it.
Like that, that's really it for Aaron Rodgers unless he
wants to retire, which I don't believe he wants to do.
(30:21):
Not that I have not had a conversation with Aaron Rodgers,
but just you know, conversations that I've had. The general
sense is people don't believe he wants to retire, So
what's the hang up? At this point, You're sitting there
literally waiting for dude to maybe get hurt so you
can go somewhere you really want to go, even though
they're not interested.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
For me, this is not about any of that.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean, when you think about Aaron Rodgers and his
past dealings with different teams. It's a power play. I mean,
you know that you have very limited options that are
out there. You got Minnesota. If they so choose, then
you have the stillers who are primed and ready to go.
You want to say, well, I'm gonna soft play this.
(31:03):
For what I mean, this is only one way that
I can describe it as being a power play. You
have a decision right in front of you. How long
does it take Aaron Rodgers to make a decision on
whether he still wants to play or not? Because I
don't have the statistical numbers in front of me. But
I bet Aaron wants to play because he wants to
(31:23):
try to get back to another Super Bowl too. I'm
sure he's tired of hearing about Peyton Manning and other
quarterbacks and Tom Brady being one of those. He needs
to solidify his legacy with another Super Bowl appearance and
also another Super Bowl victory. So he's trying to pick
and choose. But I mean, man, make up your damn mind.
(31:44):
You know that difficult.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I mean, you know, shall be made a point about
not hurrying a guy and that he has the right
to make his own decisions for free age, and I
get that hurrying the guy well, I mean, it's his choice.
He's a free Agent's his choice to make how long
he wants to take. But at the same time, and
you get guys like we talked about that Cam Heyward
over there on the Steelers, who are like, you know,
what's what's your thing?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Either want to be here or not? I sort of
I understand both both sides of that argument.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
For me, I just it's weird because the Steelers want you,
and you're obviously considering them. But if you're Aaron Rodgers,
like it's clear that you want Minnesota, who also does
not want you, and they've been very clear about that.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So what are you doing.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
You're sitting there just waiting for waiting around to see
if JJ McCarthy gets hurt, you know, in this recovery.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
This makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I mean, is Aaron Rodgers thinking that somehow the longer
he holds out, the more money he's going to I
don't even think it's a money thing, because the framework
with pittsburghs already in. I think he's literally sitting there
hoping that JJ McCarthy somehow hurts himself in his recovery,
that's that's lame, because.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
There's really it's weak as hell.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
If I am unless he's considering retirement.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Well look, if i'm Mike Tomlin, I'm taking a frame
of mind of I'm not waiting on you to make
a decision. I'm not once again, you're playing, you're holding
teams ransom.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Yeah, you're back in call.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
So if Aaron Rodgery continues to play that car, which
he's played it before, he knows he possessed a certain
amount of power walking in the building day one, whether
it's Minnesota or whether it's Pittsburgh, you know.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
It's either you take a dump or you get off
the pot.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Period.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, it's just a weird situation right now where it
feels like again that Rogers is.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Somehow holding out hope that JJ McCarthy gets hurt or
is not recovered enough. Man, he didn't have that cash
any anymore. That's not who Aaron Rodgers is anymore. If
you are a team and you let him do that
to you, you're setting up your team for fulfillment.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Well, I agree with that.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I'm just saying that's what it sort of seems like,
and that seems like kind of grind me to me,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Rocos Country Night. We'll be back up to this
