Oh, welcome to it. We're glad you're listening. Comments.

I got a ethical dilemma for you guys that I'll

(00:39):
bring up here in a little bit. We'll have our
player of our game, who's in the groove for the Broncos.
That's coming up as well.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
We got a sponsor. Do we have to do that?
You getting paid?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
No a salary like you? That's it? The way that goes?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
That a bad? It was that a doub question, Tyler?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, ad your guestimate. Let's talk about him right now.
He had this to say after the game.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
He made the team is not up to me. It's
up to the coaching staffe and it's honestly up to God,
and I feel like I did what I needed to
do to put myself in position to be on it.
But end of the day, it's Sean knows what was
best of the team and I'm just being my trusting guy,
and I feel like I did what I needed to do.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
You feel proud of what you've done this offseason and
you're getting in the end zone and all that.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Yes, I'm proud of my progression. I definitely got better
towards from last year to this year, and from the
beginning can towards the end. I definitely progressed a lot,
and that's all you could do is progress in this league.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
He carries forty five yards five point six per with
a touchdown. Actually, it looked pretty good in all honesty.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
He did. He had a nice catch, and in fact,
that was another double question. That's that I saw some
of the worst screenplays I've ever seen. It was it
seems like they ran oh the low red zone fifteen
screenplays throughout the game.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Back to back drives of the lower red zone.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
We ran screen and estimate it was like the only
screen to gain more than two yards, right, I think
he had one for like eight No, I thought he
ran hard man. He ran downhill, he looked good, did good.
But look, it's a foregone conclusion.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
It is, I mean, the one thing that he does
bring to the table, and I thought it actually showcased
very well in the game. He does have the ability
to have a physicality that these other running backs do not.
You know, I'm not well, I shouldn't say that they
do not, But he can take it to the next level.
I think Tyler Badet's got really good physicality. I think
he's a pretty healthy blend of a guy that could

(02:35):
run through tackles, that could make some plays with juking
and give it as well. But Odrick Gloid great in
this game. I think he did all that he possibly could.
I don't think he's dumb just listening to the way
he's talking there. First off, hats off to him. That
was a very respectable way to answer it, or a
respectful way to answer it. And he knows his situation

(02:56):
even with the Broncos carrying four, he's an odd man out.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, Dan, and we should check I just if there's
any other let's know.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
So Julil McGlaughlin did not make the trip because they
had a weird They had a long, long labor going on,
which I don't even know if they have they had
the baby, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I know, but by the end of the game they report.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Okay, cool OLP. I didn't even catch that well because
you do the speed wise. I mean, I was.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
I don't know him, but all I was pointing out
was that Sean Payton told him to stay home.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
And if I'm Jalil, I'm telling you I'm thinking long
and hard about that. I know it's my kid. I
know it's my kid, and I know nobody wants to
miss the birth of your kid. But he's fighting for
a roster spot on this team. So you've got to
think that Sean Payton gave him a nod nod wink
week like, Hey, go ahead and stay home. You're good, buddy,
You're you're you're making this team. Otherwise, if I'm Jalil,

(03:50):
I know that. I believe me. I'm not trying to
act like you don't. You don't want to miss the
birth of your baby. I got it, But you also
got to make a living right and and and if
if you're on the hey, uh honey, I gotta make
I gotta make.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Moving for us that's an ethical dilemma right there.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
Well, it is, it is, But if you're a bubble guy,
it's not that easy of a decision. If if you're
not a bubble guy, and if your coach gives you
the no don wink week, well yeah, that makes it
real easy.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You're on you're on the bubble.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Ethical dilemma right here? What do you do?

Speaker 6 (04:22):
To be honest? I probably play in the game.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Okay, yeah, probably, Okay, I.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Mean you got to the whole idea. I got to
make a living for my family.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'm even gonna chime in on this one because you know,
I don't have anything even close to comparable.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
First child, I was in Milwaukee. I caught the last
flight out of Milwaukee that would get me back to Atlanta.
I went from being the first big off the bench,
and for the next three weeks after I came back,
they didn't have fmla's and I told my roommate the
times until coach baby's coming. You know, there was duress

(04:59):
on the on the on the childbirth. But I got
a plane with and then it turned out they didn't
have next morning to like eleven, I could have been home,
but I went from being the first big off the bench,
sixth seventh guy who I didn't play. I didn't sniff
the court for three weeks. Oh man, yeah you got

(05:22):
I got punished. Damn we're going home for my kid.
What year was that, eighty five?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's nineteen eighty five.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Man, that way, I would be stunned if something like
that would happen now. But you definitely were punished back then.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Oh yeah, I got it. I was in Pittsburgh one time,
got a call about oh eight o'clock at night, and
I thought she was a labor and so I go
up to Mike and I'm like, hey, I got an issue.
I think we're about to have a baby, and I
think I gotta go, And he immediately was just like cool,

(05:56):
like no problem. He bought me a first class ticket,
said go home home. Fortunately turned out she was not
actually in labor. I was able to stay. I was.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I was.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
I was able to stay. I played in the game
and I got home and everything, and then we had
the baby on a Tuesday, and everything was fine. But
I had that moment that at eight o'clock the night
before a game, had to go knock on Shanahan's door
and be like, hey, I got an issue here, what
should I do? And he bought me a first class
ticket that I didn't I didn't end up using.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Dude, I think it's legal now. The f m l A.
Stuff that like real people having real jobs that they
have allowed that they've said the courts said the men
should be able to take a dad's should be able
to take it too. What dad would you know, would
take the entire like six weeks. F m l A.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
You're so funny.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
I mean, I mean very serious. I agree.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
I mean I had when I had.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Eli, my last child, I.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Took I took three days. You know, I don't know
any may have to take it all that from bela.
I mean that's what I mean, especially in a football player.
I mean illegally, you probably could too, and they couldn't
do anything. But you ain't no football player going to
do that.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Hell no, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You know we have a guy in that situation right here,
right now.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Oh I did not, you didn't He about to take
the whole time.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I have no idea what.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
He's going to do. I have no clue what he's
going to do. But his wife is about to have
a kid like it I do.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
That, but I didn't know he was talking about taking
a bush.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I have no idea what he's going to do special.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, you know, they're young. That'll be cool for them.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Of course, we're very everybody's excited for them. So how
much time should he should take off?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
If he has a kid tomorrow, then he to take
take the rest of the week and then let's go
back to work.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, I'm most got I.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Listen, I did the same thing. I took like a
day or two or whatever.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Well, I never had the luxury of making such a decision,
so I don't know. That's that's that's bizarre to be.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
But times, you know, they have changed a little bit
in that department. All right.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
It was weird too because he announced that Julil was
having the kid.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
But that was like on Thursday or something or whatever.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
But they said it was a long labor.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
I guess because Sean post got tuned on the texall
A that says today is day one back to work
for me after twelve weeks, FM LA leave twelve weeks.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
There you go, good lord man, there you go.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
Wow, twelve weeks.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Sean did say after the game, and maybe say, I
don't know when it was Annoud because in his press
conference said, wow, I'm hoping.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Right, what the hell you doing for twelve weeks?

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, I don't think you get paid all the twelve
and I think but the fml.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Be back scared right now.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
It protects from getting fired. You can't fire you, but
I think you can take your PTO and then you
get paid for that stuff and then but I don't
think you get paid for all the FMLA. I have
no idea twelve weeks.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I'm laughing more than what you guys.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
That's three months. Yeah, dude, you went for basket well
season to the end of baseball season.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Good job, brother.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
I'm trying not to be too politically incorrect here, but
about what the baby.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Sleeps, the baby poops the baby.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
And if your breastfeed, you ain't sticking that big man
booby up there in front of it. You know, although
it's fun, It was fun coming home and being the
one that got up early. You know, I still did
all that stuff and everything too, even when I'm playing.
And then you know you're getting a four thirty fall
was eight and then all of a sudden you're waking
up at eight thirty because you gotta get in a
car by nine fifteen to get down to practice by ten.

(09:34):
It'll wear on you at the while we do we do?
You do it three months? You imagine a football players
say hey coach by United States Code five eighty five
to one to two.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Yeah, hey, coach, I got a miss twelve games twelve weeks.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
See it Thanksgiving?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Coach?

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Well, I've been to miss twelve games.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Twelve weeks of FMLA and you can't fire me or
move my position. Could you imagine football player doing that?

Speaker 6 (10:00):
The hell? Why is it okay for society?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I mean if some football player did it, what do
you think the people on our if Nick meddo oh
McLaughlin just had a baby and ended up saying I'm
gonna take three months, So what would that be? What
is September?

Speaker 6 (10:15):
He's coming back, you know, round Thanksgiving?

Speaker 7 (10:18):
It?

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Scott, you're being accused of spewing toxic masculinity?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
How is that?

Speaker 6 (10:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
When you tell me that's a bad thing, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Should I move on or should I just I don't know.
I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
But could you imagine football player doing that?

Speaker 6 (10:36):
That would be absolutely but they should legally be you
know what that'd be the equivalent of It would be
the equivalent of what was that guy Juan uh something,
the right tackle that like the only dude on the
team that actually opted out for COVID opted out of
the season. You opted, you chose to not play the
Sea because of COVID. Really, I don't think it was
full pay, but I know it would full pay was

(10:58):
they got, They got to collect their full salary. Yep.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Jean James James, John James, what a career he had.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
He never played for Denver after that? Did he or
did he get back like one game it got hurt? No,
he did.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
He was there for Drew Locke. He played for the
first half, remember that he played for the first half.
He played pretty well, and then he got hurt again
and didn't play the second half when Drew beat the
UH and then I don't know, man, it was weird.
He that dude made out like a bandit. Nobody had
fleeced the Broncos for more money and played less than
Jawan James his. I mean, our our history of right

(11:33):
tackles is abysmal. That's why I like mcglinchee. Whatever criticism
we have, he's bound to be the best guy that
we've had, not ever in a long time, I mean
since Orlando. I mean seriously, it's like that. I think
he already's done it. You know, he's a right tackle
and they went to the playoffs and you know he's
Whatever you think about McGlinchey, you know he did that.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
At least look at who we had.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh my god, Juwan James Medliquas and Stevenson keep going right.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
His powers on the right side of the guard.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
He's a guard.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
That's it. That's left though, yeah, left.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, Miners is on the right. Our best offensive player
according to I just well they just have the rankings
of the top one hundred for all the Broncos.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Your left right tackle getting beat around the edge.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
Wait, so what's the over under on our guy taking
twelve weeks?

Speaker 4 (12:27):
I mean, listen, I'll say it is. What's the.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
If it's legal and you can you can afford it.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Why wouldn't you If it's legal and you can afford it,
why wouldn't you? I got you, you know, because how's
the kid? Oh he just turned one?

Speaker 6 (12:45):
What I don't know?

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's fascinating.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
Do you want to take bets?

Speaker 4 (12:56):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
No, we should probably end this conversation right here, but
I'm I'm still conversation, yeah, because I don't know what
rules or whatever the HR stuff is here, and like
you know, it's general law.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You know. I wish everybody the best. It's as legal
as anything. Go for it.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Why why it's legal?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
And I think time with your kid is a bad thing.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well no, let's ask you.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
You're the one that hates kids.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, I love kids. I love my kids.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Oh you guys, time with the Tyler's kids is a
bad thing.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Let me give you a story. This will take me
and the kids thing real quick.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I love my wife and she is always looking for
like fun things, especially in our neighborhood to do.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
So.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Loan Tree had their nineties celebration and nineties dance party
and it's just right here at the Performing our center
right down the road.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Like hardly. The band was actually pretty good. That had
a band was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
We went.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
We went on Saturday night, six to nine pm and
there's a lot of kids around and I don't know
what they had to do with the nineties dance party,
but you know how I feel about the kid thing.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Did you guys dress up to its little degree?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I don't know how you defined the nineties. I don't
know what you wear that's like nineties. But you know,
me in the whole, like, you know, annoying with the kids.
And I sat at the table specifically because there were
no kids and there was a food truck and everything
was kind of cool and we got some drinks and
everything was good and we just walked there. But we
were just sitting there watching the band. I'm sitting down there.
I got hit in the head by a soccer ball
that was kicked.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
By a little kid.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh gosh, my wife knows how I feel about that too.
I got hit in the head. No apology, no nothing,
just bunked in the head. So I turned to my
wife and guess what I said to.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Her, freaking kids, we're leaving. We're leaving, let's go, you
know what. I She looked at me and she was like, yeah, okay,
let's go. You know what Darren's gonna be. What's up?
Do you remember Home Alone? The original?

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Oh yeah, he's the old man neighbor.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, like every in the neighborhood is going to be
afraid of the guy. Like the murderer of that lives
in four ninety two or whatever. Yeah, he's going to
be that guy.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Let's just sit on the outside it like Vbiacci and
just just relax, have a glass of wine, away from
the children.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I don't hate kids. I hate other people's kids unless
they're good kids.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
And I only hate kids of a certain age, like
the ones that kicked soccer balls in your head.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well did a mom or nope? Did they see you
get hit?

Speaker 6 (15:29):
Nothing?

Speaker 4 (15:30):
No parent came over. What they doing playing soccer ball? Inside?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
It was outside. It was an inside outside thing they had.
They have big garage doors there at the Lone Tree
Performing Arts Center. They roll up the garage doors and
the bands covered and the rest of it's outside, like
on the lawn. I was out on the lawn. I
was sitting on a stoop outside.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Of the lawn. You're out on the soccer field. You
know what.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
My head was fair game?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah, you're out on the soccer field.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I was in a soccer field.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
You're a soccer four.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
A wife, she was trying, she was trying so hard,
like let's do something in the little neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I was like, let's go, and she goes, Okay.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
You know who you know there's another good guy who
take a break.

Speaker 6 (16:08):
What was what was.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
The neighbor in Dennis Dennis the minist?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh my god, we'll take a break and come to.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Dentist that moves in next door to you.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Who's in the groove for the Broncos. We'll get to
our game. M VP coming up next? Could have played
this is my nineties dance party and Loan Tree, Little
d Light, who's in the groove?

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Start here?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I saw them live.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
You saw d Light Light Light live. They were god.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
They were the band at Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
You saw Saturday Night Live live.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
D Light and Dlight was the all that is fantastic. Well,
you know who's in the groove then d Light start
here to go anywhere. Groove Toyota on South Broadway and
groove Toyota dot com.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Best player on Saturday Night?

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Who was it?

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Who's is under the.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Big one or is to under the bigger than Bigger?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
I want to groove Toyota. Scott has put in his
request for a Tundra.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
New Tundray Big m VP of the game.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, who's your MVP of the game.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I didn't know I was doing this. We're all doing it. Cortland,
who was in the groove Cortland Sutton. What did you
like about Courtland on Saturday Night?

Speaker 6 (17:20):
A couple of big grabs. He's dialed in with this
band bow Knicks. You know, Cortland is uh, He's going
to be the dude this year. And when it came
down to it on the on the drive, the bow
Knicks went four for four for seventy one yards. That
included that forty three yard strike to Courtland Sutton and
a nineteen yard touchdown pass.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
So who had the sack for Denver Kee Robinson? H
Robinson had won late but early, like in that first
yet of defense, I think so.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
I don't remember it was an Allen or I don't
even remember his sack with the first year.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Lazarik had a sack. Jonathan Cooper had.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
A sack, didn't he?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, I think he's in make teens.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Save to make the team. Oh yeah, that's all the
rookies are making the team for the Bronx, you know.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
And we talked a little bit about it, but we'll
get into it more. But getting rid of Veyle and
I have liked him a lot. They really are. They're
going to keep something extra, either an extra dB or
an extra linebacker that gives him the ability and you
know what else would Tyler keeping just two quarterbacks? Yeah,
now you basically would have two spots for guys like

(18:26):
a Ke Robinson, who we don't think he's on the bubble,
but no, a guy like that to make the team.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
Yeah, it would be I think this could be the
first time in a very long time that the Denver
Broncos do not have an undrafted free agent make the team.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
I can't figure out who would be.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, it's something crazy like twenty out of twenty one
years or something. One of these dudes.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
I mean, we are historically one of the better franchises
that developing undrafted free agents, but that's before John Paton.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Now, do you think they'll add somebody after cutdown?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, what position? Uh, I don't know, I mean, but yes.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I'd say outside shot, punch, outside shot full back.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
I think that's more likely as a stop gap if
there's somebody they just like better than Adam Prince's okay fine,
but like, if there's a world of possibility, there may
be somebody that fits the bill better than him.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
Maybe you added tight end because Nate's starting on the IR.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
I think it'll be somebody to have that role. Right,
whatever Nate Adkins slash fullback can do. Possibility a possibility.
All right, thank you to uh who's in the groove
groove Toyota on South Broadway.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
I will be better prepared for this next time.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
No, it's it's whatever you think you could, just whoever
you think was the best guy. I like Ellinger myself.
You know, I liked Sutton, he was great, but Ellinger
was like, all right, you're making things a little tricky here.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
Do you guys think? Uh? I mean, I, I guess
I shouldn't say I'd be surprised they did an entire
year last year, but I'll say it again, I'll be
surprised if they carry three quarterbacks. So that means you're
gonna cut Sam Allinger, which means that you have to
put him on the waiver wire. There's no guarantee that
you could get him to the practice squad. So my
question is, do you guys think he's gonna get picked up?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Well, again, if you're that that bubble of a guy, Okay,
we cut him, we've gotta we really like him. But
you know, if well, then guess what if he's a
bubble guy, and you even think about cutting He's not
gonna be that valuable to your team. You know what
I'm saying, how Rod Huntley or Snoop Dogg Huntley is
going to be available if you want to pick up
somebody in the week week three, hot Rod Hunley. Listen,

(20:33):
I like Ellen. I told you before in training camp,
I thought, I like, I have a surprise. I like
him because I haven't watched a lot of him until camp.
But you got rid of Aley. That opens you an
extra spot for somebody else that that probably can play.
And if you only go with two quarterbacks, that's going
to open the spot for something him play. And you
and I make fun of Snoop Huntley. You don't think

(20:56):
a Snoop Huntley would come on this team as a
practice squad guy. Yeah, of course, So you gonna be
able to find a practice cuad guy. Let's be honest.
If you get down that low, you in trouble anyway.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
I'm just gonna say, if I had to put a
buck on it, I think you can cut him and
put him on the practice squad. I do, I mean,
could he get picked up?

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Sure?

Speaker 6 (21:12):
Sure he did. At he did a lot of good stuff.
But if I had to put a buck on it,
I bet he clears way.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Scottie gaine To asked him that question basically after the game.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
That's a tough question. Unfortunately, that's out of my hands,
and all I can control is my performance and how
I am on a daily basis, and so however it
works out, it works out. I love being here, I
love the quarterback room, I love this team. I'm really
excited for the direction that I think this organization is headed.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
The question is, would you rather be third string on
this team or have an opportunity to be a backup
somewhere else?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
It depends where the backup is now. The backup could
be somewhere like a Veley going to New Orleans. Who
should play a whole lot. If it's that choice, and
that's what you're about, maybe if it's a we might
be able to go into the postseason, get a couple
of rounds of postseason money and all that stuff. Who knows,
break here and there, Cincinnati knocks out Buffalo and Josh

(22:05):
Allen at the end of the game and you get
them without a Josh Allen maybe you know whatever, whatever, Well.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
You know what the real answer is and I mean,
of course you always would rather be a two than
a three. But for guys like Sam Ellinger, the real
answer is, Hey, I just want to be on a
fifty three band roster and I want to make league minimum. Yeah,
so you want to make so whoever wants to put
me on a fifty three band roster, that's where I
want to be.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Okay, Now there's practice squad money go against your salary cap. No,
So in that sence, you could say, hey, listen, come
back here, We'll give you a minute.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
You can pay guys whatever you want. I mean, the Broncos,
in fact, just got loose of Clay Webb. They cut
him a rookie guard. He was one of the highest
guaranteed deals and they just let him go. I mean,
you can pay these dudes on the practice squad whatever.
There's minimums, but there's no maximum if you really want

(22:58):
him to hang around, because once you're on a practice
squad you can just go anywhere you want.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
Yeah, but the one thing that you cannot control is
the waiver wire. So you still have to clear the
waiver wire to get to that.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Tyler's correct.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
If you want to offer a guy a million Bucks.
He still has to clear the waivers.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Correct, So if you cut Ellenger before you can sign
him on the practice squad, Tyler's right, somebody would claim him.
The question is, do you think there is a team
that would claim Sam Ellender because they'd have to put
him on the fifty three?

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Now? Very well?

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Could I think he'd clear it? Though I don't think
there's not. I think there's There may not be multiple
teams that would pick him up to be on the
fifty three, but I do think there are multiple teams
would say, hey, we'd like to have you on all practice.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
There's a lot. Yeah, yeah, So now.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
That maybe where you have to say, listen, come back here,
here's a night heard thousand.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
But that's where he gets to make a choice, so
he clears waivers. Hey man, le Broncos may not be
the only one offering him a spot on their practice squad,
and that's where he gets a little more freedom to
do whatever he wants.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
So how good is your relationship here?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
It's always a little bit tested, and you know some
guys say, forget it, pound sand I'm going on somebody
else's practice squad because maybe it's set up a better
chance for them down the line. Who knows what lebroncra
We still are trying to figure out why they kept
three last year.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
We I mean, you know, what was the reasoning?

Speaker 6 (24:14):
You guys liked it. I was the only one on
this show that didn't like that.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Well last year, I didn't mind it, but I didn't
understand it. I didn't The only reason I thought it
made sense well, first of all, I thought there was like,
let's you know, break class in case of emergency for
the first few weeks. But once that was established, it
it made no sense unless you were gonna trade them,
And uh, it really made no sense at the end

(24:39):
of the day. You know, Zach Wilson never played, you
never traded him. He left, you know when he got
You know, it's just I really don't understand why they
did it, never mind four guys like they're doing right
now today at this moment in Cleveland, which of course
is you know, who does that help me out? With
a team keeping four quarterbacks in the NFL on their

(25:01):
fifty three as it ever happened.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
I still think that there's a chance that Kenny Picky
gets cut.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, four quarterbacks on the fifty three. Seriously, might be
the dumbest thing I've ever heard of in my life.
It really makes no sense, makes no sense.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, and don't forget Deshaun Watson's threatening to be back
this year. So as that you kind of got five
one in the wings.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
And then you take a guy in the last two
minutes of a game who leads a drive that you
win and you cut him and you don't play the
guy to Hey, what what could Shadur do in a
pressure situation?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Let's not find that out.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah, we don't want to find that out. Please, please
don't show us the man.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
There's a lot of t bow esques things going on
right now.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
It feels like with Shadur there in Cleveland.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
You know what, I forgot this, but we got it.
We got a smart Texter. You know when they changed
the rules that you actually cannot pay these guys whatever
you want on the practice squad. There is a max
and it's and it's based off years of service, and
so you could make thirteen thousand and seventy five hundred
or twenty two thousand dollars per week, but twenty two
thousand is the is the max?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, but can't you give him a signing bonus.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I thought you could give him a signing bonus up to,
like under what the vetum minimum would be, Like I
could have sworn that was well, okay, maybe I'm wrong
on that too, but I thought you could.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
So it says you could pay for veterans with negotiable contracts.
You can pay up to a maximum of three hundred
and ninety six thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Okay, okay, that's that's what I was thinking about.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
So you could pay Ellinger up to that amount of money,
up to three hundred ninety six.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh that's a lot for the practice squad obviously, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, but if he makes the team, how much is it?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Oh way more for a guy four years of service.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
I don't know what league minimu is now.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
I bet it's seven hundred yeah, I mean, good chunk more.
But still that's nothing to snooze ad.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I mean, you're you know, but but yeah, you.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
Know what, you know what, I made my first two
years and I'm not complained. Nobody listens to me like
I've complained here. But I made two twenty five and
then two forty five by my first two years in
the NFL on the roster on the fifty three bad
roster practice squatters are in theory making up to double
what I was making one two zero fifty five zero
years for service in the NFL. Zero years of service

(27:29):
in the NFL. So your rookie year, your league minimum
eight seventy eight, seventy one year service nine to ninety
five two years, one point one two, and then he
goes up to maximum of ten plus years. Your league
minimum is one point seven.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
So so Elinker could probably make one to three if
he makes the team and he's got four years.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
This is fifty year compared to three hundred and ninety six.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
If they were to offer him, save a million dollars,
save you a million dollars, I mean, maybe a little
bit more.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
How much do you need a million bucks? Rock and roll?

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Baby?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
That's the world of the NFL. So that's the decision too,
I guess.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
But Jeff Legwald our Pale wrote a lengthy article, really
good exact, I mean a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
We'll have it on Wednesday. It was a great article.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
We should have to get this guy on on Wednesday. Yeah, spectacular.
We will have Jeff Legwald on onesday. Oh there you go,
but if you and it was a longer article, but
he he went through a lot of the history that
that we know. But one of the things that he
pointed out was with the ownership that the Broncos have.
Now this this stuff is like cash is just not
a big deal. Like they will do whatever it takes

(28:44):
to win. And they're not gonna, you know, they're they're
not gonna make their decisions just based on saving a
million bucks the best thing for the team, they'll do it.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Here's a take I took from that article was players
realize who the owners are.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
They seem to appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
And although there was an ex Bronco crapping all over
the team this weekend, Javonte Williams, he said, life in
the Dallas, they guys like each other. We like hanging
out together like everything's great. So that may be a
little you know.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well, the one line that was a shot was he
said that the players actually hang out together.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Is that a shot at Sean Well?

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I mean, who's the leader of the colt.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Here's what I think it is.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
My take, my hot take on that players know players
and he wasn't working out and players knew it and
you tell me, because you guys would know better. I
don't think you'd try to be mean to a guy,
but I don't think you go out of your way
to be friendly with them either. It's just here's that dude,
and that's that. And I think people players knew what

(29:48):
Javante was and he probably felt a little ostracized. That's
my take on it. I don't think the Broncos hang
out less. I think Javante was just on the outs
and the players knew it.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
Maybe, So that's a guess I wouldn't I wouldn't disagree
with that.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Okay, has that been your experience too?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:10):
Really, no, I mean I think that there's guys that
get on the outs for attitude reasons. You like, I
don't want to deal with that, dude. They're they're they're there.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
There.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
There's guys that are just they're they're bad apples, and
so they're outcasts and you don't end up hanging out
with them. My experience, I've never had a dude be
on the out simply because he's having a bad year.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Okay, if nothing more, they're almost embraceable.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
Absolutely, you pull them in, you hug him.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Well, now if you're Austin Gomber. You just cut the
hell out of him. See you later, get out of here.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
If you're bad guys and you're still playing behind the guy,
you're like, what are I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
No, that's probably true, Probably true.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I was doing. Yeah, I guess I could say. Now,
I won't say no names. The guy who got went
on the injury list because he had the anal. Fishers
Fishers Max had.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
That plenty of time.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
It sucks, it's awful.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Well, let's see if you got the way this guy.
So I asked a medical professional who probably shouldn't be
telling me. See. Guy said, well, I'll be thinking, is
he's been doing a lot of cocaine. You can pump
on that membrane and it just tore it up.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
Wait, you do cocaine through that?

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah, you rub it on there and it absorbs into
the bloodstream.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
You gotta be kidding me.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
That's where they think he ended up having it.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
What's his name, Steve O?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
No, that's how If I told you his nickname, you
would say that sounds like the nickname sounds like a
guy who would do that.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Okay, let me guarantee you that is not how I
got my anal fishers.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Okay, he was probably riding a bike.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Mine was running. I was training for this marathon. I
was running non stop for years in a row. And
once you rip it, I thought I had hemorrhoids. And
I went for the doctor and goes, now you got
this anal fissure thing. I go, how do you?

Speaker 2 (31:56):
He goes, yes, you gotta rest, like you gotta just
stop motor oil. It sucked, man.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's it's just like having a.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
A razor up there, like good luck.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
This guy missed about six seven weeks of Oh.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I get it, but I was, you know, he's he
was a crack butt.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Yeah, literally coke.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
But I don't know what kind of you know, like
well that that.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Was just one medical person thought that might be the
was going on, but he was an NBA player, so
it could just be whatever happened to hip my socker
well exactly A yeah, uh nice to go to dinner
for certain people.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, no dumb questions three oh three five O four
ninety two five. I do have an ethical dilemma for
you guys. It's part of no dumb questions.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
And I want to get into the Tour Championship.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
Oh that's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
That's ironic that the first tournament I've watched this year,
that was my topic of an ethical dilemma. Look at
what name I wrote down right there?

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Fleetwood said, that is there an ethical dilemma.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
We'll get there next.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Columbus Hastings and dmac p a cent dumb dum dum
dum dumb, no dumb questions.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
This is your safe space, safe place.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
I'm leaning into the segments.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
You're a smart guy.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
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 (33:31):
What dude, that's a great story.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
You're in a youth game and the entire parent section
of the other team got kicked out of the entire.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Parents section of the other team.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Was was objected, moved from the field. How do you
even how many parents?

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Is that? Like?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Twenty?

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Ar?

Speaker 4 (33:49):
I bet it was twenty to thirty? Yeah, I mean
probably twelve? Did they They were pretty loud? Listen, they
had a bad call. And I'll grant you that because
right not far.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
From me never seen that ins.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
And and they had already been worn. We all were warned.
But I mean, I think you just put it all
of this because we're winning, so why we we combined?
But yeah, so ball goes out abound, they keep it alive.
Girl takes it down the corner and throws it out,
gets to the middle. My my daughter kind of kicks it,
shoves over to the right side. Girl kind of one
times it in for a goal of four to one

(34:28):
at that or something like that. These parents are going out,
especially dads, I mean mostly dads, and going nuts and
find this guy walked over and he was running sidelined.
He walked over it. Everybody gone scram I've never seen
that kicked kicked out the parent section the one with
the world would he enforce that? The war made a

(34:48):
good point. It was multiple fields, like most soccer things. Yeah,
they walked all the way over another forty yards past
our field because stood watched. Yeah, but we're probably forty
yards now, thirty yards off the field.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
That's a riot on this other field. Never seen anything like.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
That because that was the only game going on. So
they're standing, but they're there, but they're all stand up
way kind of away for play now. But the ward
made good. Play goes they knew where they could go
don't they. I don't think this is the first time.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
They it's gotta be the first time. I've never heard
of anything like that.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
First time they were ejected.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
They're like, you know, spray painted jail for the parents.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Like on the field. Well, it's it's like where you
hit your drop there's a drop zone. They had an
ejection zone. You know what they ought to do that
a little box. If your sidewi gets cleared, you have
to stand in the box on the injection zone.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
That's funny.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Yes, and it was a it was a bad call. Okay,
it didn't help them, but yeah, I've never seen that
before and ever.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
All right, let me give you my eleven year old by.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
The way, Yeah it's okay, just calm down on my dad.
The game is going to be over an hour. It's
gonna be what it's going to be.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Well, there was problem only like fifteen minutes left in
the game, just.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
The parents with the sports and hey, I was one
of them. I get it. Just you know glad you
guys won.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Talking about toxic mexicolarity, Yeah, he was the mom that
had a whole bunch of toxic mexicilliny in that group too.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Sports.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Bombs can be something, they can they can be something.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
Oh I got cursed out by an opposing team's mother
after a basketball game last year.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, big time something.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Oh, big time simbag guy. And we're new to the team.
And this dad was new to the team and built,
pretty guy, pretty pretty good built, looked like he was
a former athlete or whatever. And this one lady was
going off louder even than the guys. The guys. There
was a couple of guys loud. I said, you know,
I've always had a philosophy that there have been more

(36:50):
women that have gotten their boyfriends and husband's ass kick
than the men did it on themselves. And if you think.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
About it, I would I feel you right.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
And this lady, I mean brutal.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
I just remind me, I got a story. I almost
got in a fight at the concert this weekend. It's
a good story, good story. I know you're Fleetwood. So
after the concert is okay, I'm there with there's four
of us, okay, And so we we go up to
a box, not the KTC box, Okay, we go up

(37:26):
to a box where we know somebody. After the concerts ended.
Now I'm not drinking. But the other people are. They're like, well,
let's go up to the box. Let's have it a
couple more. No, it's couples whatever. Yea, yeah, two dudes,
two girls.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Okay, so we go, we go.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
We go up to the box of a buddy that
we all know, right, and but the guy is standing
outside of the box because he's now in a fight
with his wife. He got kicked out because he got
too drunk. YadA, YadA, YadA whatever. Right, but he's the
only dude that we know that is from this box.
We don't know the rest of the crowd that is
in the box.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
And he's got in the box, he's just.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
Outside of the box, right right, right, So he's like, well, hey,
go on in and get some drinks, right well, so
so so my buddy. My buddy goes in, gets himself
a beer. I trail him, buddy leaves. It's now just
me in this other box. I'm getting a frinking water.
I'm the sober driver. I don't drink, okay, I'm just
grabbing the water out of the fridge. This dude looks

(38:22):
at me and he goes, hey, get that out of here.
Who are you?

Speaker 2 (38:26):
We don't know, you get that out of here.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
I go, hey, relax, we know Prett. We're buddies with Brett.
Where he's our buddy. He's like, who do you know?
We know Prett Brett. I'm not gonna say his last night,
but anyways, so this dude is tanked out of his mind. Well,
he calms down for a quick second, right, and once
he realizes that we actually knew somebody that was in.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
The box, look at you to the seat.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
Okay, Well here's the funny part, right, So here's the
funny part is that after so after he realizes we're
buddies with bread, everybody else calms this dude down. He's like, hey,
it's it's it's all right, it's fine, it's relax, right,
I got a freaking water. I didn't even take your alcohol. Okay,
so I jokingly said, once I thought things were calmed down,
I was like, yeah, well I no, no, I was

(39:10):
totally playful. I said, hey, arm wrestle you for the water,
and that he did not take kindly to that. That
that set the dude off again. He was already triggered.
Budd he's calmed him down, he gets triggered again. Now
he like steps up to me. He is a big
old boy. Now he's not, he's not like me, but
he's he's a big old boy. But he's older, bigger

(39:31):
than six y three. Yeah, oh yeah yeah, And I
mean he's he's got some weight on him. Right, So
it would have been it would have been a healthy opponent,
right had it been. Yeah, but the arm wrestling joke
really set this dude over the top. I'm like, buddy, buddy,
I was joking, just joking. Really, I don't need to
get in a fight tonight. I walked myself out. I said,

(39:52):
do you want me to give the water back? Wow?
At that point, everybody else in the room was laughing,
and so did it kind of calm it down. But
if it weren't for the rest of the room, his
buddies that were calling him down, that thing would have gone. Well,
it almost did. It really did zero to one hundred,
like two point seconds.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I mean, if he throws a punch, what do you
do that?

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Right there? So you got problem going out place where
kids are gonna be. That's why I don't like to
go because I don't either. I don't like to go
where a bunch of dukes are you.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Hey, I'm neither do I you know, that's why that
nineties dance party was kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
You're using you're using the guy getting people out of
your box.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Oh my god, No, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
I mean the box is like it listen, what was
that first time the guy's ever been in a box?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
A box? The box is like you roll your eyes
at the box.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
People come and go, and you know, seriously, who's really
keeping tabs with anybody?

Speaker 2 (40:44):
And frankly, who cares? Yeah, you know, it's just like
more the merrier.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Like everybody who is paid to get into the building. Yeah,
it's just the concert was over. Well, the concert was over.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
It was over. This was like a little after party
because concert's over, concert's done.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Even worse, like, who cares?

Speaker 6 (41:02):
Concert's totally over?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
What does the guy own the box? Is he paying
for the water?

Speaker 6 (41:06):
I have no idea who owned the box. We had
a buddy that said, come up here, grab a drink.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
All right, all right, I'll make it quick because I
know you want to say something about the FedEx. Those
first one I've watched this year, Tommy Fleetwood wins for
the first time ever on the PGA tour. If you
would make a deal with the devil. And here's the deal.
You can be a pro golfer and you can come close.
You're only gonna win one tournament. However, that one tournament's
gonna pay you ten million dollars war down.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Oh, why it's ten million.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
I don't know if it's ten million in change, but
it's ten million buckeroonies. That's my ethical question, Like, would
you make that deal with the devil? No, you're only
gonna win one time though, Well, first.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Of all, no, he's won seven different times on Europe,
and he's been in the top five a million times.
He's always in the top ten money.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
First PGA Tour victory.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
Now you're talking about life changing money. So I mean,
if the money is enough that it sets you up
for the rest of your life, then yes.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Ten million, take taxes out, you're walking away with five
million cash at least, right something like that.

Speaker 6 (42:06):
Yeah, I mean, but you only get to win. You're
not living a billionaire life, but you're living a pretty
company life.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Okay, you'd make that deal, sure, and who knows, maybe
he'll win more. I just find it remarkable that a
guy as good as him had never won on the
PGA Tour.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Right, he's been so close, I know, so nice moment
was there.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Seems like a good guy too, right.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
It seems like a good guy.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, I got you know whatever, Tommy Fleetwood, he's one
of those guys, can't lay whatever it takes. I mean,
he's one of these guys it takes forever to hit
a shot.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Shef Sheffler ended up tying for fourth and only it
only took two point six.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, a bad week for Scheffler.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Bad week for Scheffler. It's the first one I've watched,
and it's kind of It's kind of funny because you
cheer for you especially when you're watching TV and sports.
You want moments to be able to sit there and say,
you know, after a hundred I think he's had one
hundred and eighty four starts the PGA Tour or something
like that, and to get his first win, it's the

(43:02):
biggest first prize person anyway, I think in golf. I mean,
it was kind of neat, and you found yourself really
cheering for the guy, and especially after having leads the
previous two weeks and losing them and pulling in seconds.

Speaker 6 (43:16):
Right now, let me ask you something, Yeah, in your
theoretical question. Yeah, do I still get all these top
five finishes?

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (43:23):
In fact, oh oh, then I'm not taking that deal
because I'm going to make way more money off those
top five finishes. Okay, the accumulation of all my top fives,
I'm going to make more.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Here's the stat on Fleet, which was is crazy. He
has made career earnings thirty three point four million dollars.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Yes, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
He is the highest earning player ever to not have
won a tournament on the PGA.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Right.

Speaker 6 (43:44):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm definitely not taking that deal.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Just keep going. Yes, the second place, and.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
He's all of like thirty four to thirty.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Five, thirty four years old.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Yeah, dude, he's still a kid. Right. It's funny you
had that the whole place was really cheering for because
everybody knew, and he now just said, let's see if
the Cheerfuyman three weeks when the Ryder Cup comes back.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
You know what's funny about this. They treat him like
he's some sort of sad sack. They treat him like
it's kind of like he's the last guy on the bench.
He's made thirty three point four million dollars playing golf everybody.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
I mean, it's nice that he won it all, but
he's hardly like an underdog.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
I actually followed him around a little bit at the
practice around with the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Even to you know, what kind of is it's kind
of a joke artist when you think about it. If
a guy is that good and you can't really pull
it out, I mean, how many of those times did
he just really not come through in the clutch?

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Well, and the more and more and more and more
you play, and the more opportunities that slipped by you,
and the more pressure you put on yourself exactly exactly.

Speaker 6 (44:41):
It was like Rory with the Masters.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
Yeah, well yeah, by the way, Rory doesn't even care
anymore now he's got the Masters.

Speaker 4 (44:47):
No, it was just he's like on a shit to like,
I can't win, let's get out.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
But that's what that's what Uh, well, you know, I
got it.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
John Daly turned into that for a while. You know,
you won a couple of majors. But then a tournament
if he was like Sunday and he's in the first
or second or third group, t off, dude, he's gonna
play about two and a half hours.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Hey man, everybody's got a number where all of a
sudden you really don't give him flying whatever anymore.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I'll give you a quick history of east Lake. First
of all, it's Bobby Jones's home course where he learned
to play golf at. So everybody knows that it's the
first course I ever broke eighty on. Good for you,
Eastlake country Club? Nice? Yeah, where you where you shooting
it from? From the tips or I doubt it. I
don't know wherever it was back then. I mean it was,
it was just it was just a regular court. Well

(45:33):
tell you by the story. So the nines are flipped.
If you saw nine ins on a pretty long part three,
that used to be eighteen. So I get up to eighteen.
Now my buddy's drinking. I stopped drinking because I knew
I was playing pretty well, so I didn't drink. So
I get up to eighteen. If I bogie, I shoot

(45:54):
an eighty okay. If I parted, I shoot at seventy
nine okay. And it's like I got like two o
five par three taking a nice and easy brother, I
put it about five inches. Well maybe the closes I've
ever had the hold of one. I put it to
like five inches, had to tap him birdy seventy eight. Wow, man,
that's awesome. I won't show you what happened at the

(46:15):
end of the night. It was not pleasant, Okay. My
wives had to come and build me and my buddy
out jail. I wasn't driving, well, you'll remember that seventy eight. Yeah,
I remember that seventy Were you in.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
The car like? But I shot at seventy eight It.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
Might have been mentioned I'm buy him, but I ain't driving,
and so.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
I mean, bad night. I'm in jail, but I did shoot,
didn't shoot a seventy eight? Yeah, big question of the
day's next
