Speaker 2 (00:18):
Dan, are you okay? Because because listen, these are all
great English bands you're playing. But we're in a sort
of a we're sort of in a like a foggy
like we're pulling the covers over ourselves and cuddling here
with rain dripping down?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Is that what England is? Well? Kind of but like
you see, Dan's wearing his flannels. He's already got the
flannels out. Man, Are you okadding?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You need to hug or something?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Or are you feeling playing?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
We're playing very emo sensitive English music here today.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I played Motley Crue yesterday. He's getting well. If you're playing.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Bands from la I would have a problem.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Was that crew? Who was the band I played yesterday?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just want to make sure you're okay. No, No,
I'm not you.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We can give you a couple of seconds here.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Give him the playlist. Help the man out. He's doing
his best, just you know, like some fired up sort.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's Friday. It's a football, but like football Friday.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And playing little Stevie Winwood. It is he British Steve.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, David, you're doing David Bowie. Let's dance like something.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Like I will Scott just for you.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Suffragette City or some other banger David Bowe.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, this would be more of Dan Speed. Today was
ground control to me.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I feel like we're about to hear the Smiths and
the Cure coming up here with Dan here anytime I
played the Carry yesterday, well, Friday Friday, I'm in love. Okay,
this is a good song. Oh, they're all good songs.
I'm not saying they're not good songs by great bands.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
They are.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
They all check that box. They don't have me run
through a Cam's kataboo wall is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Again. They could have had him instead of r. J. Harvey.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Did the Broncos blow it by not drafting Cam Scattaboy.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm saying yes because I ain't about five years from now.
I ain't about three years from now. Camp's scataboo would
have helped you this year. He would have been fun,
There's no doubt about it. He would have been an
instant fan favorite. He probably would have had the same
amount of success that he's having there right here. I mean,
(02:35):
you know, r J. Harvey's getting ten to twelve snaps
a game. If Cam Scattaboo gets ten to twelve STAPs
a game, he's probably gonna make it an impactful ten
to twelve STAPs. You know, Harvey Harvey, Okay, Hey, Harvey
couldn't catch the ball nineteen times because you get tired
trying to run around the end nineteen times, twelve twelve,
(02:55):
twelve carries a game. Harvey ain't gonna make the impact
of Scataboo consistent. I agree with that. I would agree
in in short spurts, Cam will probably always make a
greater impact. However, I would make the argument that r. J.
Harvey still has the potential if he's ever a twenty
touch per game type of guy, he would be a
(03:16):
far better option as a twenty touch per game kind
of guy. I ain't seen Harvey.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Why did Cams Kattaboo fall so far in the draft?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Because he's five eight. Maybe he's slow, he's not agile,
he's not really yeah he is. He's a Sherman tank
in the age of Abram.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's not a shot at him, not some reality agile.
He's not agile.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
He's not particularly agile. No, but he but he knows
how to run through a dude. Well, he steps over
him pretty good after he hits. That takes some agility.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
He can catch a pass, he can throw a football.
He's thrown for him. Wait till you see that from
Cam s Kataboo. Eventually with the Giants, he's done all this,
It's all happened. Here's what it is. Sometimes undersized guys
I believe are written off in college because it's just like,
well that's college yep, And that's I think what's happened
(04:07):
in to campscataboy right now. But he did well this
against major competition at the highest levels during the college
football playoff against Texas.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It's flipped in basketball, but that used to be what
they say, Oh well he was nice, he was a
nice European player. He was nice. That's flipped. When you
get the top one hundred list come out that you
read the other day, in the top five are all
from another country, right, so that script is flipped. It'll
take a whole bunch of scataboos, or two or three
scataboos going. Maybe we got to figure some way to
(04:38):
measure the heart.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, he was the best player on a team that
won the Big twelve and killed it in the college
flip and should have beat Texas, should have beat Texas.
I don't know, man, I've loved the guy for a
long time. We've talked about We probably talked about Campscatabuy
on this show more than any show in America, aside
from whatever's going down there in Phoenix in Arizona. And
(05:00):
did you know he started at Sacramento State Mark Mosers School.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
He's got a pretty epic highlight if he's recovering an
on side kick and he carries about six different dudes
on his back all the way in for a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
All Right, I'm not gonna say it's the biggest miss
in the world, but I got a little you know,
cam scout.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You want to know why he goes to the fourth round.
He's a running back that runs a four six five
forty like he's small short, He's right, Trell David's got
a gold jacket jacket and was a sixth round and
he ran a four to six.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Okay, I love this conversation. What's more important as a
running back taking a three yard game and making it
five or the possibility you can run for sixty yards.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Let me give you, guys a test before Tyler does this,
before you do this, and give him that right there,
I want you. You are now a scout of a player, player, personnel, scout,
both of you. What's the first question you asked ask
of a player like a Scattaboy or a Harvey or whoever,
whoever it might be, what's the first first thing you ask?
(06:07):
Maybe you're the GM, the scout's bringing you these guys,
what's the first question you asked those guys? I don't know.
It feels like you've got a good one, though, I
have the ultimate one, whether it's basketball or football, baseball.
I mean, at the end of the day, what I
want to know, And I don't know how I asked
this in a singular question. It would be have to
it would have to be something that you got to
vet out throughout the interview. Well, I really want to
(06:27):
know is how much do you love ball? Because because
I'm gonna trust by eyeballs, I gotta trust by evaluation.
There's nothing that you can say to me that's gonna
change by evaluation of you as a player. Well, with
that said, then Scannabus should have been the first round.
He loves ball. He does love ball.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're saying the intangible is the most important question, Well,
he checks that box.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
No, here's my question. I but hold on, sorry, Scott,
that's just real quick. I'm not saying it's the most
important thing. It's the most important thing of the interview
for me because it's the things that I don't know right.
Everything else I have already hadvaluated and weigh them however
you want. Put him on a chart and weigh them
however you want. But if I'm doing an interview, that's
what I'm trying to find out about the interview. Well,
(07:08):
if I'm the coach and they're bringing me, guys, here's
some of the people we like, right, first question I
always ask them, I don't care what sport it is.
Can he play? Yeah? And they say, well, he runs
runs a four four four? Can he play? Well, he
had a thirty eight inch vertical. Can't he play? His
wingspan is seven to two? Can he play? That's gotta
(07:32):
be the first question you asked. And I'm gonna tell
you what most guys, Tyler to go back to your
because I think that was a great answer you gave.
I think most guys you sit there and watch them
that dude can play? Then you know what they usually do?
Love ball? Yeah, love ball? That can they play? And
love ball may may maybe kissing cousins, you know what
I'm saying, They may be hooked at the hip or something.
(07:55):
Dude just can four? Six, five? Can he play? Well?
You know he's only five from five to nine, but
can't he play? And everybody else instead we get so
caught up and everybody keeping a job with analytics they
have never invented. And let me ask you this, if
they'd have never invented analytics to the depth that they've
(08:15):
got it down every sport, would the sports be any worse?
I don't know that analytics have made a worse if
that's your point. No, I think it's made it too
easy to sit there and fall back on instead of
asking the question, can he play? Yeah? I mean sure that,
but but yeah that I'm deciding if the dude could
(08:36):
play though, you know what I mean, Like, I'm not
asking the dude, can you play ball? Like that? I
agree those are probably the two most important things, but
I'll be to decide that when I watched the film.
I was gonna say this, and I had a long
conversation with one of my older kids when they were
playing soccer.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know why you did the air quotes.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'm talking to soccer coach. Remember my team from uh
my daughter from top team to bomb team. I said, okay,
but just tell me why she was a really good player.
And I said, well, what's what she do? Now? Now
you're you guys are both coaches. Here's what this coach
said to me. Well, she's probably our best pastor on
our team. She's one of the most competitive kids we
(09:20):
got on the team, and she's a great leader. Okay,
now she's like ten mm hmm, I said, pretty good traits.
I mean, well, she can't kick it from one end
of the field to the other. So I said, okay,
I go, how many kids you got on the team again?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And you go, well, Suzanne can yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
So you tell me you're the best leader, yeah, best pastor, yeah,
most unselfish and best teammates you got. And that's not
good enough. And he goes, well, you're gonna sit there
and tell me you played basketball. You can watch kids
play soccer and know if they're any good. I go, yeah,
I could. I said, you think I could do the
(10:03):
basketball goal? If you know anything about coaching and athletes,
I tell you can. You guys not go watch a
high school game and you've done two or three high
school games. You you coached baseball forever, and so you
saw a million other kids on other teams.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And you can say, tell pretty quick, can you not
watch again?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Go ooh, that short that shorts up over there? They
got that guy can play.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
For kids that I coached, I could tell when they
warmed up throwing a ball. At the end of the day,
you could tell we.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Were playing a soccer match. My daughter was there to
day and I'm watching warm up to the other team,
and I went, ooh, and a girl, I think she
had a crazy number, like seventy four or something, big
numbers of the teen I said, ooh, that give she
got a leg? Well she pretty good? Well, they say no,
They got her on the right wing, and every day
(10:49):
the whole play was kick it out forward, let her
run through people and outspeed people and I and the
whole play was going in the right hair. Well, guess
what all I saw would do was warm up? All right?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
If we say these are valuable traits. Who's gotten better
RJ Harvey or Camp Scataboo if it matters now r
J Harvey might I'm not.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I just think we're really quick to dismiss r J Harvey.
I and I don't want to dismiss Cam Scataboo either.
Like I love Camp. That dude is a freaking blast
to watch play football. I love everything about that dude.
But we're really quick to make a decision here on
r J. Harvey that I just don't feel like is
a necessary thing to do.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
All right, Well, it was a big decision that Broncos
had to make. It is a big decision.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
More easily easy to find a Scataboo or a Harvey.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
A Harvey, that's what seems to me to find. Yeah,
you find really fast guys who with you know, negligible
personalities all the time. It's the it's the personality and
the intangibles of Skataboo that are rare.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
You know, you know what Scataboo is. See you agree
with this, he's almost Tim t bolkescept comp Yeah, that's
except a complex.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Fair way to put it.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
It seems like a raw raw always. This practice is
the most practiced most important practice.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
He's more of a meathead than than he's He is
a meat in a very adorable, loving great way, but
it is a meathead.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
He's a guy your daughter brings over and Thanksgiving dinner
and it did pull out the turkey and he goes, yeah, whoa, whoa,
look at that turkey.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You know who. He kind of reminds me personality wise,
is like George Kittles, another kind of meathead in a
kind of an adorable way.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Mead, you guys like that video. Them people are fun, man,
they are there.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They're the best. Okay. We have Parker Gabriel from London
about the Broncos and I have a couple of choices.
We have a couple of games here with prizes that
could be kind of fun or it could be terrible
one way or the other. Also, we have Sean Payton
as the star for No Dumb Questions. We actually have
a no Dumb Question prepared starring Sean payton.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Ton and is he Nixes pregnant?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't care about stuff like that. High school football though,
I care about And we roll on Connor Cape and
Justin Adams call the action between Dakota Ridge and Heritage
tonight at seven o'clock high school football powered by sport Clips,
proud partners and supporters of Chassa. All right, we're gonna
have Parker Gabriel live from London of the Denver Post.
(13:29):
Give us a report on the Broncos and how they're doing.
Got a couple of choices for you guys, and we
can we have some stuff to give away. Three ZHO
three five four oh ninety two five. We have a
couple of fifty dollars gift certificates to the Alamo Draft House.
Got a choice for you. We can play a game
called what the Hell did he Say? Where we take
some British people and we play some you know, sound
(13:49):
bites and you have to interpret what they say. Or
we could play fired Jets offensive coordinator or Prime Minister
of Great Britain. So it's you know, we could go
either way with this, or we could do a little
bit of both. Bud. But but but you know, we
could play like you guys could play when we can
have a contestant and you know that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So who created this game?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Me and Dan h Why you don't like the game.
We don't have to do either of them.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
No, No, I'm down for a little fire. Offensive coordinators
versus prime minister.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Okay, you want to start with that, Yes we can.
We can start with just with you two. We can
start with that right here?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
All right? You ready? Can you can? You put sir
in front of all the names.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That is a great suggestion, Sir George Grenville.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Oh, that's definitely an offensive coordinator, right, Sir, George Grenville.
George Grenville grin, Oh that might change my prayer. George
gren I thought I thought you said Glenn, but Grenn
is different Prime minister. Yeah, I'm going with prime minister
as well.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He is a prime minister from seventeen sixty three to
seventeen sixty five. Well, so this is current okay, oh no,
you know you're ready for It's like Greenwich, you're ready
for the next one. Let me let me see this guy?

you're setting me up on it. Did you say the
last name.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Again, Sir Tanner, Engstrand, Ngstrand, Yeah, E N G st
r A and Dan.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Shevan does not feel like a setup job though. I mean,
that's got to be English, that's got to be a
prime minister. But because it's so obvious, I want to
go with the offensive coordinator. Yeah, have but Tanner. How
many prime ministers you ever gonna hear the name Tanner? Yeah? Clearly,
I mean clearly. I mean seriously, that's probably some dumb
cool coordinator. Yeah, I already, Yeah, I gave you mine.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He is the current coordinator for the Jets.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
That's the current.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
He is the current.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Was he a lion? Where'd he come from? We know
anything about him?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
He was he born in England? I don't know. But
he's the least successful offensive coordinator in New York Jet's history.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
So far. He's on five so far, he wins one,
they win this weekend. He's tied with fourteen other dudes.
Speaker 2 (16:31):

Dowell Dowell. Okay, Dowell Dowell. Oh is that what you said? Sorry? Yeah, Logans, Yeah,

two years he got fired.

what if that's actually a king and not a prime minister?
Prime minister?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
That is a prime minister, prime minister from nineteen sixteen to.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
The very majestic name we can play with. In World
War One, he was a Prime Minister of England. Dur
there you go.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He was a busy guy. I did not give you,
Sir Winston Churchill. I thought that was too easy. Or
Sir Margaret Thatcher offensive coordinator.

That'd be Dame Dame Margaret Rissindo. Is this shoe? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:54):

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Do you want to ask Tyler? You want to do
you want to be team Tyler?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I don't know. Gordon Brown feels very that feels very America.
He didn't say like Nigel or something. You know, I.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Understand that, But Gordon is still I think a popular,
popular name that could at some point in history would
have been a prime minister.

Right, yeah, yeah, we're just playing for absolutely nothing at
this point. It's fun, though, you guys. You guys are
into it.

We could take Andy.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
How about Dowell Logins. I mean that to me was
what Dowel Logates the coach?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, but Logates that doesn't sound English.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, but his name is Dowel. Like, how many you know?
I mean, I'm just going for it here, yours, Darren,
I got another great one for you, Darren, James Callahan.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Well, the way you're saying you want us again, you're
trying to pull the whole mind trick on me, where
you think I know what I know, but I know
what you know. And that's definitely an English Prime Minister Scott.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You want to take a shot at James Callahan.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You want me to think that that's a coach, I'll go.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Coach English Prime Minister seventy six or seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, I hurt.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
By the way, how about how many fired offensive coordinators
there actually are for the Jets?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
How about how many pris've had? I want to play
we can play that game with Broncos. Hey, you know what,
we're going back to fifty.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
No, the first year is seventeen twenty one. I mean,
you know, Robert Walpole, we can't go back to like
fifty dude, putting sir before everything is fantastic. By the way,
I'll give you some easy ones.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Could you also give us like a first Duke of Lanchester.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Lester Again, we have Sean Payton for no dumb questions.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I have a no dumb question too, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Coming up here in a second. I said Jeremy Bates
to be too.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Easy, right, Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I played for twice, right, Mike Lafleur, Nathaniel Hackett, I
mean these are too easy. Chan Gaily, Martin Morning wag Tony.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Hold on before you say, before you say Chan Gailey,
put sir in front of him, but sir in front
of Chan Gates.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Sir chant Chandler, Sir Chandler Gaily, even Sir Chandler Gaily.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Then it becomes a little right.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
How about this? How about a couple of names we
prime ministered them up? What's hackets The first name, Reginald Nathaniel.
He already goes by Nathaniel. I mean he kind of
you know, you'd have.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
To use like his middle name would help, Sir, Sir
Sir Nathaniel, George Hackett.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
George Hackett.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
The third that would help, Yeah, total loser. All right, Well,
there you go. That's that game. That worked actually better
than I thought I was gonna Actually we still have
by the way, we still have the Mumbling Stumbling quotes
to play later on we play some British.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Maybe later on we can give our own coaches English names.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
That would be funny.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sean the uh Strategist.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Oh like like like what you're known for?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, yeah, Sewan the Terrible.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
We go to Uh. Parker Gabriel Sledgehammer live in London
from the Denver Post. Parker, how are you, my friends?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I'm doing how you doing?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We are doing great? Why don't you talk to us
about the well? Was an adjustment? Did did Sean change
what he was going to do in terms of practices?
Or are they always going to practice on the front
lawn of the castle today?
Speaker 6 (23:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
No, they were not always going to practice in the
front lawn of the castle today. It was an adjustment.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It wasn't even weather based. Last year in West Virginia,
they they it was raining so hard they had to
move the Friday practice indoors to the tennis courts to Greenbrier.
This was just you know, maybe yeah, logistics, those logistics,
what did they just.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So happened to be an American football field with painted
lines and goalposts outside the hotel code.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
For code for bad traffic between the team hotel and
Tottenham's training facility Wednesday and Thursday probably, but yeah, no,
Well the thing about that hotel, that's where so Minnesota
stayed there last week before playing at Tottenham. Okay, and
the thing that the Broncos were wary of, it's one
practice field. It's like one full sized football field. And
(24:40):
I think what in the planning process It's England rains,
and I think they were had a level of concern
about if it rained all week and the Vikings were practicing,
it would be muddy, the field to be torn up,
and could you get a good, safe week of working
on that, which is why they chose Tottenham in the
first place, being the second team there, you know, two
(25:01):
weeks in a rowe So it didn't rain last week,
it didn't rain this week. Traffic was bad, guys, you know,
they were busting a half hour to Tottenham. But basically
with with you know, ankles, taped cleats on whatever, and
so they just decided the weather's good, the field's in
great shape, let's practice up here on Friday.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I assume they would do all their meetings and stuff
at the hotel and then just bust to do practice itself.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah, one hundred percent. So they're doing like you know,
the guys are doing, like the individual stretch work and
stuff at the hotel and then getting on the bus
for a half an hour and going down to Tottenham,
which listen like, but the Tottenham facility is unbelievable and
the fields were immaculate and all of that. That's all great.
They had a good, you know workspace for us, but
there just wasn't anywhere when you got off the bus.
(25:45):
They weren't using Tottenham's you know locker rooms and the
showers and that. They were using the fields. So they
were rolling up on buses, rolling out the balls and saying,
you know, okay, a few minutes to get loose and
then and then you know, walk through. So they they
just decided it would save him some time and be
a little more efficient today to practice up where they did.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
When you look at it, and I'm just saying, I
was watching something online the other day where a guy,
he's a huge Premier League soccer player right now, he's
all the thing he was in he was in Sofi
at a game for the Things, and he goes, I
thought Tottenham was the greatest facility I've ever seen in
(26:29):
my life, and he goes, so far might be better
talking about stadium. So are they playing? Is that the
stadium they play in?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (26:38):
So where the Broncos practice?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Is there? Training?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Is Tottenham's training car training?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Right?
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Nor?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah? North by? Maybe? Like well either on the trainer
in the car maybe like twenty minutes north of Tottenham.
The Hotspur Stadium that's where the game is on Sunday.
That was built in just in twenty nineteen, and it's
kind of crazy, like you know, Tottenham Football Club plays
on natural grass, but it actually retracts the grass, fold
(27:04):
it up and store it under the turf adjacent to
the turf for NFL games. So the stadium was designed
with NFL specifically in mind. It's got football locker rooms
and all of that.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
But it also like the Brits are like, yeah, I
mean listen, like, you're not playing American football on our grass.
You guys can play on turf.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
That is uh well, we are definitely not royal enough.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
We heard another reports of that Parker is that the
grass for soccer just is actually not safe for football play,
Like it's just not the same sort of turf. So yes,
you can't play on our grass, but our grass isn't
really great for American football play anyways, because it's a
little bit too lose and little slides more for soccer
sort of things.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah, well there was a lot. I mean, like honestly
at practice, like the fields are immaculate, but they're also cut.
I don't know, I'm not a you know, I mow
my lawn, but I'm not an expert. Like it's more
to like, I don't know, a quarter of an inch
or I mean it's going. There were definitely, Yeah, it
looks like it looks like a fair way. I mean
there were definitely. I would say, and maybe you're just
like maybe you're paying more attention or whatever, But like
(28:09):
to me, the two days they were there, there was
more slipping seemingly than you would see at home. And
I would imagine that's because it's cut. You know, it's
so fine, it's it's like a putting green.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Or it's clear that Sean really values this experience. Do
the players value this experienced the same as Sean does?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Yeah, it's a good question. I think Sean probably liked
the Green Brier more than the players like the Green Briar.
But listen, I mean, if you win on both ends
of it, that obviously helps. And I do think there's
something too. It's one of those things where you know, you,
especially for the guys that have kids and families and
all that, like, it's not easy leaving for nine or
(28:49):
ten days.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's not.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And at the same time, there's no it's pro sports,
it's not college. You know, you're maybe in the hotel
for a couple of weeks during training camp, but there's
not a lot of time where you're just together for
extended periods of time. And Sean I think, really believes
in the value of that time spent together and what
it does for a team. It clearly had seemingly had
(29:12):
some good last year, did some good last year. I
think players like that part of it. It's not that
it I don't think it's It's not that there's no
trade offs, there are, but I do think players like
that part of it. Now, you know, English countryside a
long way from any of the you know, stuff to
do in London all that. I don't know, maybe guys
would prefer the downtown Marriott, but you know, it's it's
(29:35):
a good week and obviously if you come home with
two wins, then then it's a really good week.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
When when you when they first took off, Sean was
this a business trip And I told them, just backed
a couple of bags and we're gonna stay so far
out of the city. No one's gonna turn yet. First
day you're there, there's a U certan basically, yeah, about
are guys getting out and the experience and a little
bit of the culture in that neck of the woods.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Yeah, definitely. I mean in a lot of ways, it
works the same way as a regular week in the
NFL calendar. So you know, Sean can say no sight seeing,
but the guys have Tuesday off, they can do whatever
they want. You know, there's there's and I think a
lot of them went into the city. I mean, I'm
telling you though, like from from where w A r E.
Where their hotel is, to get into London is not easy.
(30:24):
I mean it's a long way, so you need you know,
it's it's you got to get into the town of
where and then take a train or I mean obviously
those it's probably you know, car service or whatever. But
like it's it's a hall. So I think some of
the guys probably played golf. Uh, I know some of
them came into the city and then they're certainly like
today after practice, Marvin Mims was doing an event in
(30:45):
the city, pats Ertan was doing an event in the
city tomorrow. I'm sure there'll be a little bit of time.
So yeah, I mean it's not like they're they're not
sequestered away in the hotel room for.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
The whole week.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
But Parker, can you tell we're not even taking the
Jets seriously by the line of questions we're throwing at
you right here, I mean, are you getting that vibe?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yeah, there's there hasn't been a lot of Quinn and
Williams talk so far.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Well is he going? I mean he was banged up.
I guess he's playing.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I guess he's playing. But yeah, no, no, there has
not been and funny enough, I mean, you know, obviously
like the Jets have run the ball really well, and
there's the whole you know, it's Darren Moujie, you know,
obviously a former George Payton lieutenant and a Sean Payne
Lieutenant with Aaron Glenn. But there's not like there's not
a lot of buzz around the game itself.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right, Sledgehammer will keep it real for the Denver Post,
and we appreciate you being on with us. Have you
had a unique English experience yourself personally?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
A unique English experience?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
I had an uber driver last night for forty minutes
who wanted to talk exclusively about American politics, so that
might be uniquely English.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Tell us where you landed or dope. Oh by the.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Way, Henry, Yeah, do you have any comment about bo
Nix and is he smoke expecting their first child? That
news just came out.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think I do. That's combing eight
months old and they'll have a great time being parents.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Thank you, Parker Late.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Are you getting the vibe that not everybody is as
fired up about this as you are? For somebody who
hates kids? Why are you so happy for this?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I celebrate the smoke I celebrate great news.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
He celebrates eazy.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
The Smoke Show puts it out there that I'm pregnant.
I'm like, I celebrate you at the Smoke Show. I
just think it's a good thing. Can I tell you.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
You're talking about a man's wife like that.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And by the way, who doesn't walk through the field
holding hands with their wife with a sonogram picture in
their other hand? Totally natural, not phony at all.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Now, wonder the question does she bring bring it with
her to London and surprise him with the news? What
kind of photo? Where was it? Castle Pines on the
golf course.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I don't know what they're doing, but it's the most okay,
it's great rocks. Yeah, it's a field, Tyler, it's a
field with But did did the caption say in an
English field? Or did it it did not say in
an English field? But where are you gonna find a
field like this? And you're walking around with your sonogram
photo right your bike, you're gonna tell me they're in
a bunch of field. There's a bunch of buffalo up there.
(33:12):
There's no like big open flowing field with trees up there.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I guess there are lots of them.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Are you fine? It was in Castle PiZZ I don't know.
I'm exhausted. Why do you guys care so much? We
have no dumb questions?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Next Columbus Hastings and dmac for a cent, dumb dum dum, dum, dumb,
no dumb questions.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
This is your safe space, safe place.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm leaning into the segments.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
You're a smart guy.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Send us your not dumb question now, tweet it, text it,
or twitch it. It's no dumb questions. On Altitude Sports
Radio ninety five.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
All right, this one stars Sean Payton, who was asked
by a British muggle, this no dumb question, coach, why
do we call it football in America?
Speaker 6 (33:58):
That's a great question. I know that's always been. It
really should be something different because what you play is football.
I mean, you know, all we did was kick field
goals and kick off. I'd have a stronger argument, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Okay, it's a classic question.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Sean hates America. I guess turned his back on us.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Sean's like, you got a good point. If the whole
game was field goals and punting, I guess that would
make more sense.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
What should we call it American football? Why what they
call it? They call it football? Why will they call
it American football? Yeah, that's what it is, American football.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Why would we call it football at all? That's the question.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Because the people that when they first came up with
the game of football in the late eighteen hundreds, they
didn't have any They were used to playing soccer. They
came up with the new things where you can actually
touch them all with your hands down and carry it,
and they had no creativity.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Why do you call it cup?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
A cup?
Speaker 6 (34:53):
Like?
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Why is this a cup?
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I don't know the root etymology the word cup you
but they would go down that line. You can make
it whatever. Why wasn't football simply called handball? Because there
would make way more sense.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You already had a game called handball. Yeah, you did handball.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
In the eighteen hundreds when the name football came to
America when the CU Buzz with Ralphie one were rolling out.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Sir Sir Jacob Plumber was one of the very first
uh worldly handball champions.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I think it's a classic question that's been asked throughout
the ages, and I really don't. I mean, I think
you're looking it up or you know, you know what
quad as text a quad ashes Tyler J. Quadaes you
know what they call it golf?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Golf, don't you? I don't because was already taken.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
I wish I had a rim shot, I don't have.
I don't have I mean, I got this. It's not
a rim shot, but it's I can do ash quad ashes.
All right, I got.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
Hold on, hold on, I much really quick. Like the
name tackle football, Like like, what if you called it
tackle football? What it's it's.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The foot that's the issue here, not not whatever? What
else are you going to put around it?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Why don't you call it rugby? That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I don't know, bro, I don't have answers to these
stupid questions.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I mean rugby and they're not playing on rugs.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
The difference between rugby and football is that you could
move the ball forward rather than rugby where it always
has to go.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
What the chance is that the guy that invented the
game of rugby's last name was John Rugby, Sir John Rusby?
All right, I have another etymology question? All right, what
is the etymology of soccer?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I have no clue. I don't know how that. It's
certainly not used by the rest of the world. It's
an American word. I have no idea how they came
up with it in America. But it's not used anywhere
but America. Nobody else calls it soccer except for Americans.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Don't they with the metric system. Don't they spare their
football spell it fut b O L.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
They can, they can, they can spell words. Also, they
put like instead of E R, they put R. Do
you know for years spoke English first? It was the
Pat Bowland Training Center or something and R E.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
That's how you do in Canada.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
That's the way it was for years until they renamed it.
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Question announced the last day or so that the Lebron
James will miss the next three to four weeks with
a sciatica.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I did not hear that, really.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, yeah, well it's spelled sciatica. That's c I A T.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
What's your question? I A wait, that was your question?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I see whatever I said right. Anyway, So he's missed
three four weeks. I just watched forty five minutes on
Lebron James being out hurt Sciatica showed him playing golf.
I'm like, siatica. Hey, anybody that's ever had back issues
(38:18):
understands how tough golf could be.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Ye, what's your question? Is he faking?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
No? I mean he's got a bad back. Three to
four weeks, get there and go or don't play well?
He chose not to play.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
What the hell is your question?
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Why are you making such a big deal? Question? Here's
a question. Why is it such a big deal? Lebron's
got a sciatic There's ninety million, one hundred and ninety
million Americans.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Trying to make fun of you.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Why why is it such a big deal? Why is
Lebron James so soft? Okay? Question?
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Question? Yeah, yeah, I guess he can do whatever he wants.
He's probably no get it. He probably doesn't want to.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
I heard it's because he's bad about Luca. And let
me ask this. You've had a bad back, You've had surgery,
you've had bulging disc only three of them on my back,
but you've had bulging disc and stuff like that. Right,
you've gone through sciatica. I went through it a month ago.
It's no fun. No, let me let me play four weeks?
Speaker 2 (39:20):
You're dumb question with another dumb question. In an eighty
two game regular season, in a two month potential playoff season,
how important is three weeks of practice before you start that.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
First three four weeks the season?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
He is, he's not, he's not going to play till Christmas.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Well, the season starts in a week, so when's he
Uh like, maybe he just does well, Okay, there's no
dumb question. Maybe all this is so he doesn't have
to go to training camp.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
That seems more like reasonable.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
We'll just say, hey, he's forty and we don't think
he needs to go through two days.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Do you think he do you think Lebron is soft?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
I think he is the perfect star for this age group.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Is the get off my lawn moment?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Huh? I just think he's age group. He's forty, well,
but he's this this era is you know, superstars, Tyler's
age exactly soft. Big question.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
The day's next
