Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Columbus Hastings and DMAC on demand. Listen to
PhD Live every weekday from noon to three on Altitudes
Sports Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports
Radio App.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I gotta admit to the vast majority of people about
Ralphie have been pretty funny. Our guy, our guy bred Kade.
I gotta give Bred credit. Man Brett like Brett is,
Bred is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
He finds like little things. Uh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
There's that, but like he just has his radar for
things that like exist in the world of sports. Mat
Krekman has his trade too. It's a really good trait
to have that are like, oh that is interesting, that
is funny. That's a little bit different about something you
have that Dan, let me know when you got it.
But Brett noticed something that that, upon reflection, hit me
(00:55):
too about the Ralphie stuff. The Ralphie stuff is at
the end of the day, funny, right, No.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Nothing about it is funny, even in fact that we're
not running behind Ralphie on Friday nights not funny.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Even you doing that is funny, even you being sarcastic
like that is funny.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, or pound, this is a very serious thing. Right exactly. Okay,
how many years they've been doing this because it's breaking
a tradition doing Ralphie. Yeah, right behind it. Well, I
happened to have the list of all the Ralphie's right
in front of me, Scott. But but what's the first year? Well,
the first one was actually ralph that was a mail.
They couldn't control the mail, so they went to the
(01:36):
Phoeba renamed it Ralphi Masculinity. That's right. But debut run
was September sixteenth, nineteen sixty seven. Wow, you know, I
would think it would go back further than that. Actually,
that's okay.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean that's they tried in the in the thirties
and forties, but they realized it never made to the
arena because it was on somebody's tailgate. By then it
was a legit taibe gate back then.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Let me play our guy Brett in his observation, which
I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Go ahead, Dan, I don't need to be insulted when
I asked this question.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I need to be educated.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There's a differences.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I saw our boy r k Over at d n
v R sent out a couple of tweets about this.
He was acting as if he was putting his mother
in a home. I want to know why this is,
Ryan is because depressed.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You just get another one.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What's what is explained the buffalo?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I said that earlier, and people act acted like I
was like making fun of their children.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm like, guys, it's an animal. Just get another one.
That doesn't right?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
If you drive it in the mountains on I seventy,
you'll see a bunch of them on the side of
the mountain over there.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Daniel's Park, there's actually the south side.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, the s side.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You know where I live, right, boys, So you know
the new park there, the new the new open area. Yeah, okay,
you go over that hill and then down there there's
five buffalo to live there.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Okay, funny comment by Bread And I saw Ryan's tweet.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm like, oh my god, Ryan, I mean I facetiously
said to Scott's point about eating all the buffalo's I
facetiously said, yeah, you could eat black or you could
eat it. Don't eat blackout, don't don't do that. Ember,
you can go and eat Ember. I mean, Ember, she
does she really deserve? Does she deserve the red carpet
treatment and retirement here? I mean she was very temperamental.
(03:26):
She was I mean, what other what other female? Never mind,
she did not want to run, did not want to run.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Bread's comment though, it's like they're putting your grandmother in
an old age. It's not that serious.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It was pretty funny. That was good. Lie.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, but if you've been doing a tradition since sixty seven,
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Here's what does make it serious. And and I'm being
on the serious side here. The fact that the transition
plan did not work out ideally. All right, Yeah, that's
so so the fact that we are going to open
a game on Friday night against Georgia Tech and we
don't have a buffalo to run behind for the first
time since I believe it's the first time since nineteen
sixty seven, they didn't. I mean, maybe there was a
(04:09):
time or two that the buffalo is sick or something.
I don't know, but I mean not having a buffalo
in place, and now that whatever, everything that's getting put
out from all the CU reporters is, hey, this is
a live animal here. There's no predicting the timeline of
when she's going to be ready to run. So that
is a big deal. I mean it honestly is well,
(04:31):
what was the last say, what was the last game
that he ran last year? She? Well, she ran, well
the last game sheared she tiptoed about ten yards? Is
at the bowl game? Oh really? Yeah? Yeah, so that
was January or whatever. I don't know. Oh you don't
remember the bowl game. Again, if you haven't seen her
(04:54):
quote unquote run from the bowl game, you gotta look
it up. I mean, she literally tiptoe is about ten.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Arts and the guys are her handlers are trying to
the boy, they're trying. Yeah, but you can't slap her.
You can't hit her, you can't kick her.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Back in the day, you probably could not. These days, you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Ain't doing that to Yeah, they're not doing that. Yeah,
I think you got to have a sense of humor.
When CU had a sense of humor, they wrote in
a press release due to an indifference in running, that's
pretty funny. You don't think that's a little snarky and funny.
I thought that was hysterical. That's like her sole job,
an inference to running.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
All season. Shouldn't you have been putting the substitute in, right?
I mean, isn't that what they do when the guy's
giving up five runs? Is hit that right hand?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Go let's go. Not last night, my friend. They say
that this thing was planned the whole time, though, that
they they were transitioning from her. It was not like
the last second decision right before the season. But unfortunately
the new buffalo, which we don't know the name of yet,
is not ready to run. We would you like? Is
that tiptoeing the guys?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Look at the handlers.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Come on, Ralph, come on, come on, good girl. What
the one of the handlers? You didn't show up for
the bowl game? Yeah, I mean, come on. The second
that she came out like that, you knew we were
gonna get our asses kicked. Then she gets see what
she gets hold? She picks it up just a little.
Oh my god. I mean, does somebody drug our buffalo?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Is that what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think somebody bold indifferent?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm with you, that deserves red carbon returning. That doesn't
deserve like you can send her to TETs.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
By the way, let me finish the quote of the press.
See you press, cor press release an indifference to running
typical of many mammals, both for legged and two legged.
They're having fun with you and good for that.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So my buffalo was rowdy, and rowdy was a badass,
and then blackout followed out. Rowdy was really good to.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Say, Buffalos, you take off and the handles will be
dragged once in a while.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Your pull up, pull up blackout, uh spring game debut.
She breaks free from the handlers and and it's running
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, you want the possibility that whoever Ralphie is could
plow into the student section at some point, that would
be you definitely want.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Like a bull in Spain jumping into the crowd.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The only reason you watch the pampalone of stuff with
those bulls is to see somebody get plowed. Now, we're
not hoping for anybody's demise, but it just happened. But
if you're gonna pull a guy uh with a bandanna
and the white shirt and the thing and do a
flippy two over the hoof the head, I don't want
to see goring. Do you want to see a guy you know?
Ask over tea kettle in Spain? You deserve it. I'm
(07:46):
killing time. Do you have the I don't know if
you have the blackout with the spring games, but.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You're right but the only thing it is is a tradition.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But then the question, what's gonna happening around that change
the tradition? No, no, but but a bunch of real grass.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Can I get? Can I give you some beef with
the on like like, I'll give you a little bit
of beef. There he did?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This is black.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Over the handler. We're down two handlers now, but he's
dragging a handler drops the third. We're down to one handler. Wow,
what a handler is holding? Not strong? Let's go hold on,
hold on. That is awesome, that's what I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Which one was that?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That was blackout? Yeah? Blackout? Hell? You knew that was
going to be a good buffalo and that's that's that's
that's what she ain't done. Oh that is awesome. I
have never seen that before. The most awesome run I've
ever seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've never seen that. Dude.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
She hit her head on the back of that looking
them handlers are warned, those handlers that.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
One again them handler? What year was that? Eight? Totally cow?
That was amazing? Hands warned. That was the first spring
game after I left you five guys two seconds out
the case she tramples dude, Yeah, how about the guy
that stayed with her the whole time, though, I don't
know that guy's legit. Yeah, yeah, let's see if she
(09:32):
loses them. I think she loses them. Yeah, she lost
he's no, no, no, no, that's someone else that jumped in.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, this is amazing. How many years did Blackout run.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
For Blackout ran from That's what I'm talking about. Now
we got one more time, twenty eight to nineteen. That's
a seventy seventy six games, by the way, most total games.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Those handlers have hip hip pads on under their shorts.
Well you get it. Then she ran Watch fast she
hits that trailer. She's already lost another handler already.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There's no doubt Blackout could have roamed into the student
section and plowed out.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Now Blackout, Blackout the pastor Yeah, that handler right there,
the stud he's stuck on about ninety five percent of it.
He was wore out. You ain't lying, that is give
me a black hair. You gotta find out how you
gotta get that? Did she? Sorry? Anybody I know, I
don't know. They need they need to get Yeah, someone
(10:28):
needs to put some sperm in that. Yeah they.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Okay, what's wrong with you, guys, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
There's just stuff that's good enough. Don't try to top it.
Tyler already got.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The moment happened.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I want to know the name of the new one.
I wonder if I could pull some strings and find out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, now we're like, do we buy that? They really
do have a new one ready and it just wasn't
quite ready.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Or that story? I think? So after last season, there's
no freaking way they plan on running her again.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
No, you could clearly see she Plus you could have
seen in the spring game she wasn't up for it.
You could see a million times she wasn't up for it.
I do kind of buy it. I do buy it.
I just don't know how long it takes to train
a buffalo to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, well obviously, let me ask you. Do you think
Blackout was trained?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah? Really? Well, but that was a spring game, though, Scotts,
you have to sorry, can we break? So they had
all the spring then then through the summer to keep going.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But wait, was that Blackouts first time?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That was the first run at the spring game.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But that was Blackouts first.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
So are they actually training the buffalo or are they
training the handlers to be able to stay up.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
With the buffalo. No, it's the buffalo. I mean they're
they're they're training the buffalo to not get skeittish in
the sound and in the elements and everything else.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let me ask another dumb question here, and this would
be maybe the last one who knows buffalo. I'm sort
of supporting the training of the buffalo. Buffalo are not
used to being harnessed, Like why would a buffalo ever
be harnessed for any reason? So having that harness on
(12:22):
the buffalo is a very very very unusual thing. Correct.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
It was the same thing with the horse.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Horses, horses through time have been saddled, harnessed and all
that but them to take But like like usually that
takes about twenty five seconds in a movie. I'm not
that worried about it. You know, it's the horse.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No, no, no, I've seen.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All the horse movies, Horse Whispers, I've seen Yellowstone of Horse,
I've seen them all. You got a rowdy horse in
about twenty five seconds, You got it. It's all good.
Every movie is the same thing. You know, it's the
horse that it bucks everybody off and then there's the
one guy who shows up herdy, he'd be no hearty,
and he gets on.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
They do sweet talking. It is the guy that sweet talks.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It's the same thing every movie. So don't tell me
about that. I've seen all the movies. I have not
seen a movie where you put a harness on a buffalo.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, this is it. I did look it up once.
Can you ride a buffalo? And there and there are
people that ride buffalos?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Are they in Kevin Costner movies?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Okay, it's PhD here on ninety two five? All right,
so are we up for a point? Counterpoint? A little
bit later in the show, Scott, are you feeling that
bum's up there?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
All right?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Good, We're gonna have a Ralphie. You want to get
a Ralphie expert on here in the next couple of
days would be kind of cool. We can, Yeah, I
think that would be great. Trying to check some boxes here.
It was like, oh, well, we had Jeff on earlier.
Did you just say anything that's brought Adam Schefter is
gonna be on with us? The yeah starts smart for
(13:59):
them for the.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Best saying the best saying, but significant I thought that
Jeff said he said, Audrey didn't really want to come here,
And to be honest with you, wasn't much about that
the Broncos to bring Audrey back, Aldrick back.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Did that surprise you?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
No? Was it? Why did you sign? They goes? I
mean who says that the Broncos wanting back? Yeah, I
mean I get that both ways for sure. If you're
orodrec Astidy, I've got zero desire to come back here.
I know exactly where I stand. If you're the Denver Broncos,
you know exactly how you feel about him. Okay, he
is watched. If anybody else picks him up, it was
(14:36):
Clifton did tweet out that the Broncos would like to
bring him back. So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
They got one spot left or two spots if they
sign an international person, But really it's one spot left
on the on the practice squad.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That kind of funny, like why would you not feel
that international? Like is there not a single person in
the entire world that would be worthy of being on
the practice squad? Is it not one person in the
whole world? Is it international like it's just non id
like to play football, or.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Or is it international like they do in the Olympics.
And you know, my great great great grandmother immigrated from
Russia in eighteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't think Russia. No, it's like non citizen.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, I don't think this is like Eddie Eddie the
Eagle back in the day doing the you know, the
ski jumping.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You haven't played for team Russian Olympics one year? What
because she had like great great great grandparents And well.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's that's great, that's different. No, yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it's for somebody sport.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Scott is just looking for some random conte Joel m
b play. No, no, Joe Ellen, he was born in
any More.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But no, but yes, Joel Embiid, Scott Tyler, if you
want to roster Joel Embiid as your international player, he
would County And.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah he played for Team USA and the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, because it's a different parameter of everything. It's a
total different we're getting in the weeds on practice squad
international player. Well, I mean make it seventeen, make it seventeen, period.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Sixteen.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Do you remember when the Prescott was six? Oh yeah,
six six.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And you couldn't have it. You couldn't. I think it
more than it wasn't even best.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It three years.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it was way less than that.
It was like it was like three games. Seriously, you
couldn't have played in like three games.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Come a long way. Yeah, I guess we're going deep.
I was surprised Lavelle Bailey did sign with the Broncos.
I thought he was going to be insulted and would
be like pound saying him out of here. But they
brought him back. So that's well.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But if you're if you're an inside linebacker on this roster,
you got one dude playing with a club, the other
dude that hasn't really played in any preseason games and
missed a significant part of the last two years. When
you not think that there's a chance, which.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Is why the Broncs have got three practice squad insideline backer. Yeah, yeah,
plus four on the roster.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah that's a little that's yeah, that's kind of screaming
we're we're kind of short here.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yeah, you're right about that. I've been I've been
screaming that for a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Little little okay, little soft there in the middle.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Well hold on for on the roster, three on the
practice squad and one on the injured list. Yeah, so
in essence, you have eight inside linebackers.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
In the team. Not on the team, but in the team.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's like having two drummers in a band. They've all
kind of suck. You don't need two drummers in a band.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You have a drummer.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Because I saw the Moody Blues Downtown and they had
two drummers, but then they kind of sucked. Well, well,
the original drummer was like seventy seven and on Oxford
I think he was just he was there as a figurehead.
The other guy actually did.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Ringos Star Is.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It goes out on tour Ringos All Star band. They
carry two.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Drummers, him and him and the real one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's right, you got two, you got you got five
inside linebackers or whatever you pointed out. You've got some
problems here, not five? What am I talking about?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You got four and then three lost or three in
the pract squad and one on the injured list, but
you got eight.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, you're right, Okay, how big of a deal is
that these days.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
In the good old NFL? Well, what's the question?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
How important is the inside linebacker top to bottom? Where
where it feels like that position has I understand they
got a tackle and they always leave the team in tackles,
but that's not unusual. Every inside linebacker for every team
leads and tackles. Aside from that, how has that role
changed over the years? What are you looking for with
that guy?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, one thing that has changed a little bit is
you're playing so much more sub on defense, so you're
you're a nickel and dime so much more than he
used to. That these guys don't necessarily have to lie
up and cover tight ends the way that they once did.
But I would argue that there's plenty of teams out
there even with base personnel on offense, meaning you've got
(19:10):
to come out in a base defense that it is more.
It's a more challenging job that it's ever been, because
the biggest mismatch on a football field is when you
can get a tight end with wide receiver type of
speed matched up on these inside linebackers. And there are
still plenty of tight ends that will fill both the
base and the sub role, meaning you're gonna have your
(19:31):
base guy having to cover this dude.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Who's the best inside linebacker in football right now?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh? Who's your guy? I don't know? Fred Werner's up
there corner and he's getting older.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's not like it used to be. Man, that guy
used to be position.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That was the heavyweight champion of.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The world, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And it's just changed.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, I mean it's change because the tight end position
has changed.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But look at playing inside linebacker, good camp and all
that stuff. But fifteen years ago he'd been in safety.
I mean, he's Steve atwater size.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh not even yeah, you know, I bet, I bet,
d I bet. Drake green Law is a fringe top
five guy, you know, like like like he's right up there.
I mean, you got Fred, you got dudes like roquand Smith.
I think Bobby Wagner's just holding on for legacy. But
but he certainly was in that category, you know. But
(20:28):
but Drake green Law is gonna be right there on
the fringe with the best linebackers.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I say this, A lot of people think that they
win that Super Bowl. Does he not get hurt coming
into the game?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Right how Singleton.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Alex is just rock solid. I'm a big Alex Singleton fan.
There was a point last season that it like the
coolest hip thing to do was to hate on Alex Singleton,
and I was a big defender of him from day one.
You gotta have guys like Alexton on your team because
you can't have all Drake Greenlaws, right. So Alex Singleton's
just that dude that he's gonna he's gonna be in
(21:06):
the right place at the right time because he's freaking smart.
He studies his butt off almost every single year. He's
the lead tackler on his team. Does he have deficiencies
in his game, Yeah, but not many of them. He's
really good at everything, but he's not necessarily great at
yeah anything. Yes, he's a good tackler. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Green Law has been a fascinating player to me because
he came signed it with such a big deal, like
such like I couldn't believe they got him, Like that
is amazing. And then you know, Sean's calling him the
Rocky of the Rocky Balbo of the team, like he
sounds different, and then he kind of gets hurt and
we just haven't really heard much about him or seen
(21:46):
him do much, and it's kind of like, you know,
kind of quietly just kind of gone away a little bit.
I think there's a chance he could be the most
really interesting player on the entire Broncos team, like because
we it's like Christmas pres that we just haven't unwrapped
yet to really see.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Or does he just get hurt again? Him and your
running back? I mean, let's be.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Honest, the running back. I'm rolling my eyes at the
running back stuff. It's the NFL?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
What have you? In the preseason?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It's it's to me, the running game is I don't know, man,
it's there's Saquon Barkley and then who else? Like there
aren't give me five running backs that just change the
game in the NFL these days, Bill, there's a lot
(22:34):
of great athletes. But but it's just the NFL. It's
no but, but it's significant if they're game changers like
they they I bet I come up with. Is Derek
Henry them two thousand yard rusher last year?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Okay, not any game change.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm not arguing with you.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I mean, I don't know what the definition is. If dude,
it gets two thousand yards, is it? I'll mean Derrick Henry,
uh what's his name? For the Lions, sa Bear Gibbs,
they had two good line running backs. To me, here's Robinson.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
How many how many teams start their offense Christian.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Is he still healthy? Is he still I mean, I'm
going to give him the better for the doubt. Yes,
I don't know's it's a fair question. He just got
changing with healthy. He was not healthy. Lest why do
they bringing Brian Robbins. No, No, it's absolutely a fair question.
I mean he's got achilles tendonitis in both achilles. Okay,
that ain't ever going away. And and I don't know
(23:32):
if he'll if he'll ever have like a fully healthy
season or not. But I do know when that dude's healthy,
he's a game changer. Agreed.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I love Christian. He's been one of my favorite football
players to ever watch. It just feels like when it
goes away, it goes away pretty quick for these guys.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm not running back. Maybe more thrill than anything.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
No doubt, but Christian's had one hell of a career.
I remember being a training camp years ago with Ed
and like, is Christian really going to be a running back?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Oh? Yeah, I think so. I think that's what he's
going to do. I'm like, really, it's not.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Going to be like a slot guy. This is before
Christian was in college. No, I'm going to be running back.
How do you feel about that. He's, ah, it's good.
But what the conversation is is like, it's a short career.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Well, remember when Curtis Martin didn't Curtis Martin last like
fourteen years? He was ridiculous and everybody was like, because
he was competing for Terrell kind of is the best
two running back?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He was.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
He was the greatest mediocre running back of all time because.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
He didn't get hurt and he stayed healthy for a
long time. Correct. I think he played fourteen years?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It was bananas? How the yards with Curtis Martin just
all pile up on really not that impressive seasons. But
how do you stay healthy at that position? How did
Emmitt Smith stay healthy all those years when he was
like a bell coow back and he just got the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Over and over and over. He played twenty years? How
did Frank Gore do it?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
No clue? How these guys are?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It seem like.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
It'd be easier to play twenty years now running back
than it was fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, why you don't run as much? Point? Oh, okay,
here's the problem. There's really no such thing as bell
cow There's only a couple.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No, But here's the bigger point. They don't pay running
backs anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, but you know what, so two million or three
million dollars a years a lot easier to make playing
football than than going out.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Fine, but the running backs aren't the focus of the
entire not one like one Bell cow guy isn't the
focus of the entire team anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
You got four dudes in the NFL make it over
fourteen million dollars in the running back position.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, those should be the big Well, all right's making
twenty point six. Derrick Henry Christian is second at nineteen Christian,
then Derek at fifteen four.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Jonathan Taylor. Okay, okay, I didn't even mention Jonathan Taylor earlier.
Let me give you Churtis Morrin eleven years in the NFL.
It was a running back. Do you know?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It wasn't until his eleventh season that he didn't rush
for one thousand yards? Wow, he and he only played
twelve games that year and he rushed for seven thirty five.
His high was the year before his tenth season, he
ran for sixteen hundred ninety seven yards.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
He was a freak. He's a Hall of Fame. I
think he just made the Hall of fame, didn't he
like the last five years? Is he a freak?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Was kurz Maarnin really a freak?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Because it didn't never seem like like you said at
walks he said, he didn't seem like he was that special. No,
I mean fifteen hundred eleven fifty eleven sixty twelve eighties,
so thirteen and fourteen sixty, Well that was now fifteen
thirteen thousand, ninety four, thirteen oh eight, sixteen ninety seven,
and then seven thirty five. He had fourteen thousand, one
(26:54):
hundred and one rushing yards the year he rushed for
sixteen or ninety seven. Guess how many carries he in?
Three hundred and seventy one. Who's going to carry the ball?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Three?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Did the Broncos even have three hundred and seventy one
between their top two backs last year?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I gotta do some division on that. Let me get
my calculator out. Uh, well, let me do it by hand. No,
I'll just use a calculator. So that's twenty three carries
a game.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
For reference. Derrick Henry, who had two thousand yards last year,
he carried it three twenty five. There you go, which
is an insane amount it's seventeen games, Yeah, seventeen. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
What are good numbers for the Broncos running backs this year?
What are you gonna be happy with?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you can get both averaging or not averaging. If
you can get both anywhere between eight hundred and one
thousand yards, that's a good year. The average. You want
him to both be around four per carry or better,
and you're having a successful season.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
That's what I was gonna say. If I can get
my two main guys, which are gonna be important for you,
around four four to five yards per carry, and if
both of them get over two hundred carries in one
hundred and ninety carries each, something like that, three eighty
(28:18):
between the.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Two of them. I think two hundred each is fair.
That's what I'd like to see.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
And I tell you what, if he does have bon
Nick's going to have a monster year. If they both
carried about one hundred and five times and are averaging
about three point two, Bo's gonna be running for his
life this season.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well, have no dumb questions coming up. In ten minutes,
Tyler has a ethical or question about being a parent,
which leads us to believe he's made a bad decision
as a parent, But we'll find out here in just
a little bit quick hitters on the NFL Schaders named
the third string guy.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Officially. Well, he jumped up. He was fourth in a
depth chart all the year.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Did Sefanski have to do that? I guess he did. Huh.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I think it was a smart thing to do. I
mean you you would have found out on game day,
but you just immediately put the conversation to bed, like
this thing's done. Here, here, here's the play, and this
is what we're doing. If you got controversy, the best
thing to do is address it as soon as you
possibly can.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Good decision or bad decision to make him third string
that second string?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You know, listen, I shut the fans up. I really
do believe Shadeur Sanders has got far better ability than
Dylan Gabriel. But if you're being fair to what you
saw in the preseason, and I understand Dyl Gabriel got
to play with the twos, I understand he got to
have a better offensive line in front of him, but
(29:41):
you're just evaluating the film that you've got. Dylan Gabriel
did string together a couple games that looked better than.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Shoulders, although I will say this looked fine in the game.
He got to play with ones and twos.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Sure he did. What week does shadeur start? I'm just
ticking with seven seven quick to me, now I've changed
my opinion because well, you need two guys to fail, right, right,
So you need Joe Flacco to fail.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And Gabriel to fail, which that could.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I mean Joe Flacco could fail by week five, yes,
week six, yes, you could have a change there by
week six, and then you put in Dylan Gabriel. You
don't want to have a short lease on it, so
give him a minimum of five or six games.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's what I was thinking. I was going to say,
Shader gets his first starting I don't even know who
they playing.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I don't know. I'd call it week you know what
it would probably be. It probably be a garbage time
end of the year week fifteen, week fourteen, something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, you know that's what Tibo did. That's exactly what happened.
And you know why though his rookie year.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
But you know why because he had two of your
last three games were at home, and crowds were starting
to stay away from the games. At the end of
the year, that is true, and they put him in
and all of a sudden, the twenty thousand those shows
from the previous home game showed up.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
The biggest no show I've ever seen was I think
in twenty ten against the Rams NFC non conferences. There
might have been thirty thousand empty seats. It was like insane,
how many MPCs there were.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Joe Flecko wasna gonna go didn't Josh get fired the
next week? Yeah? Yeah, yeah Josh?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And that's and that's do you remember who took over
as coach, Eric Woo, good memory, nice job.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I wasn't even on the team. Was gonna go for four.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
They're gonna put Gabriel in Minnesota home game and then
at Pittsburgh, and Gabriel is gonna get absolutely monster crushed
in Pittsburgh. Won't finish the game. Yeah, income Shuder. And
then he starts at home versus Miami.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
A week so you call him week seven.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I've been I've called that for the last all right,
I like it. Months two months.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I will pick out at Vegas because that would be juicy.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
The third game twelve, yep.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Week twelve game eleven, YEP, I'm gonna pick out week.
You're right, So yeah, I suppose that's their eleventh game
in week twelve. But but for this same reason, Flacco's
gonna get destroyed, Gabriel's gonna fail slash injured. I'll circle
that week twelve, which is their eleventh, But that gives
you a lot of run right there. So that would
(32:12):
be Shudur at Vegas home against Frisco home against Tennessee
at Chicago. You know you got to you got an
okay slay right there. It's not murderer's row.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Well, once you get through week six, you got Miami,
New England, New York, you got Jets, you got three weeks.
That'd be nice to have a young quarterback in there
as opposed to you know, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Detroit.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
You want to call it Tyler Wow. I mean, I'd
be really surprised if he got anything more than just
a couple of garbage time games. So, you know, the
Pittsburgh game, maybe Buffalo. He gets two or three games
at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So you go really like Tibo Tebow's first year, that's
what he got. He got the last three games of
the year.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
They're not gonna be a rush to put him on
the field.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say the same was true
about Tibo. But you know, just fills the coach. They
fire McDaniels the seasons of dumpster Fire. It was the
only good thing to do. I could see that being
in the case too.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Quite frankly, that might be the best case scenario for him.
It's no pressure, right, well, it's pressure free and it's
a limited sample size and if you go out there
have success for a couple of games. We got a
lot of momentum going into the next year.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
All right, we will in the two o'clock hour debate
the measures because the Morning show is very political today,
very very political having Wellington web on, but we will
we will have the point counterpoint that's a let's football
go big story.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Literally or so I think, and that's a interrupt let
football go.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well we'll do you know, let's football go. We'll do that.
But then that the tail end, that would make sense
to have a political counterpoint to the fair to be
fair under the fairness doctrine that the local airwaves, I
mean the Morning Show had there. We'll have a you know,
belong tree side of things. They had Wellington web on,
(34:07):
Glad he's doing.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Okay, I thought to him quite a bit during the season.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right, but there's another side to that story, so
fair and balanced.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
We were either going to entertain or piss a off
people off.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That is about to happen at two thirty.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There you go. We're not gonna pissed it one off.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
No dumb questions coming up next.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Columbus Hastings and dmac percent dumb, dumb, dum dum dumb,
no dumb questions.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
This is your safe space, safe place. I'm leaning into
the segments.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You're a smart guy. Send us your not dumb question now,
tweet it, text it, or twitch it. It's no dumb questions.
On Altitude Sports Radio ninety two.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Five, you're right about that. Kevin Hogan who ex Bronco
Kevin Hogan, We're just having some off air conversation about
Christian what'shing the best this year? Okay, no dumb questions?
What you got, Tyler?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, we we were talking about math earlier in the show, right,
and Scott was talking about how these are different nowadays,
and you were asking, why don't you just use a calculator?
Some about chat GPT got brought up and do it
and That reminded me of a conversation I had with
my daughter the other day, and I just asked her.
I don't remember where this came from. I think I
was using chat GPT for something, and I just asked her.
(35:31):
I said, hey, be honest with me. You got a
free pass here, won't get in trouble. Okay, be honest.
How many times have you used chat GPT to write
a paper for you? She's like, no, I haven't done that.
And then she's like, I'm not gonna get in trouble.
Oh no, you're not get in trouble. She's like, okay, baby.
A couple times. I'm like, all right, so here's my question. Okay,
(35:53):
good parenting device, bad parent device? Here? Right, I am
not naive to the fact that our children are going
to use AI. I'm not naive. I'm not stupid. There's
no stopping it. It doesn't matter how many times somebody
tells you not to use it. Right. So I took
that moment to teach her about all the ways that
(36:13):
kids are getting caught using AI. So my advice to
her was, hey, all right, but if you're gonna use it,
be smart enough on how to use AI. So I
told her, so, I told her all the ways that
kids are getting caught. Hey, so chat GPT for example,
they put a bunch of hyphens in it where kids
would never put hyphens in it, and kids are getting
(36:35):
caught left and right for where the hyphens are.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
You got to pull the I mean correct punctuality, yeah,
but no kid uses iphen yeah, correct punctuality right, No
kid does that, right, So you're gonna get caught or
adult for stuff like that. There's actually software out there
now that these teachers can use where they will put
the put the whatever, the paper into a program and
(37:00):
it can show it being written in real time if
you did it on Google docs.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Right. So I'm like, hey, all right, so you gotta
be careful that. You also got to pull it out.
You got to put it into the Google doc, you
gotta type it up, and you got to change it
up to be make it your own and everything. But
my advice to her was that I'm not dumb. I'm
not stupid. I know these kids are gonna use AI.
Don't get caught us ad AI. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This is like putting the taping the gun at the
Italian restaurant for Michael to use on BARZENI mcclass.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Okay, because if I because if I told her, hey,
hey daughter, right, daughter, don't don't don't use AI, Yeah,
she would be like, okay, I'm not gonna use it right.
Here's that that would work?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
If that would work, it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Really really, because kids are just gonna be like, Okay,
I'm never gonna use a free out.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
You know what you gotta do. You gotta show her
good will hunting when Will just wants to do the
girls homework and she's.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I need to learn to do it for myself. I
need to, you know, I need to.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It's my English accent, by the way.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
So I could be a realistic parent or an unrealistic parrot.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yeah, listen, if you already know what you're gonna you
know you've already decided that you're doing the right thing.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
That it's not much of a question. No, no, no, I
mean I'm up with I'm up a conversation here. I
think defending myself a little bit. Sure.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I think showing kids gateways to not get caught is
similar to abiding them and cheating. So I think that's
the question.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Is as you're sitting there with your daughter and you
guys are sharing a bourbon and you tell her, you
tell her this, yeah, over a joint and you say,
I don't know it's it's Here's here's why i'd like
to event.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
If they don't have it, maybe they do have it.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Here's here's where I think, gay, I would be fine
for kids that you'd be able to scan what you
wrote that you wrote right it, because that way you
know your premise and you could scan an AI can
correct your mistake, spelling whatever for you. So then you
could turn in a cleaner document without necessarily just writing it.
I don't I don't know if it has that capability.
I've never used chat GP.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yeah, I at what should your kids?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I mean they could literally write a full paper in
two seconds. Yeah, and now now you could like guide
it on how you want it to write the paper
and you can give it an influence. But it's done,
and that that's what all the kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You just have to figure out at what age you
your kids should have consequences for not doing the right thing.
And that's it. But there's no firm answer for that.
I don't know what the answer is to that.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
So in wine today that when when I know what
I would do if I was a kid. Okay, if
my parents told me not to use AI and I
could still get away with using AI. I'm using AI right.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Then you get caught at some point and then you'd
face a consequence and can you live with that consequence
or not.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
I'd get caught once and then I'd learned how to
not get caught ever again.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Okay, I got caught cheating. She in high school. I
got caught by the teacher was awful. Had a little
like a paper sheet, like a cheat sheet, and I
as I'm looking at the cheat sheet, I look up
and the teacher is staring me at the eyes and
this is you.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Could put you teach. Teach, sheat right on your calculator. Yeah, buddy,
what Oh yeah I didn't Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Another great reason for calcult.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
That was our teating in high school. I did not
know that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I look up, she looks at me in the eye.
She comes this is the first five minutes to test.
She comes over, it takes my test away and gives
me a zero. And I and it was bad. Like
I was a big athlete in high school. At least
I could have lost a lot and it taught me
one hell of a lesson. It was the last time
I ever tried cheating and everything, but I had to.
You know, it was stupid. I shouldn't have done it
in the first place.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
You never cheated again.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I never cheated again, Swear to God, Swear to God.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
I was. I will.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Well, that was it. I had my moment, and you know,
that was it. So I just didn't cheat.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
I was.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was it. Junior year of high school, never cheated again?
Is that really that unusual?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yes, well that's my story.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I saw a meme today. Things you tell your kids
are going back to school and blah blah blah, and
they say, well, the school work is hard, and your
answer should be, well, if it's hard, it means your
brain's working. So if the writing is hard, means your
brain's working.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Yeah. I think we're giving.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Too many to in my opinion, kids are getting too
many outs to not have to use their brain, and
this AI for homework just seems like another way out.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Man.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It ain't going away as the problem, but it does.
It can go away in your household realistically, probably not
three days a week. God, that was a little aggressive, well,
but not being serious. I got a daughter crying do
(41:41):
a mathlin table. Guess what good she was crying? Oh?
Hey good?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how you
guys do it. Frankly, honestly, I shouldn't give any advice
at all or have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
What do I know?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I don't know squat about what it takes to raise
a kid these days. Who knows.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I don't make a phone call, so one's probably sitting
on a couch on the front porch.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I'm boulder right now.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
I don't know what he's doing. Hopefully he's doing all right.
I hope he's doing good after all.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bags point, by the way, it's not a calculator, like like,
why do kids have to learn math because they gonna
have a calculator. What do you think these kids are
gonna do when they get in the workforce. They're gonna
type it into AI and they're gonna write all their
emails through AI. That's what That's how it's going down.
That's how it's going down today. You know, employers don't
write their emails anymore. They put it all in AI
(42:30):
because they don't want to mess anything up.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
And that's where we reveal this show has been AI
the entire two hours. When is that gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (42:46):
What is golf? Announcers through AI? I have not. It's
pretty damn good. Now golf is a unique sport that
you can actually pull it off.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Oh oh okay, yeah, it's kind of like a video
Is it like a video game sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Dude? They're doing no, I mean they'll they'll do AI
with real tournament.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
The Actors Guild is scared as hell as far as
movies and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Did you see Will Smith put out a promotional like
clip of his concerts that's all AI fans and AI
stuff allegedly? Who do you think is holding up Will
Smith fresh print signs and a concert? It looks so cheesy,
it was. I thought it was kind of easy to
see that that was AI. I don't know what you
(43:29):
guys do with the AI and your kids. They really
can write a paper in five seconds?
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Five seconds?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, give me a thousand words.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
But there is software out there that could prove did
you type it or not? So you got to take
it and you put it into Google docs and then
you type it or whatever.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, what stops you from just retyping it.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
Right somebody wrote in here, will make them write with
the pencil. Okay, so they'll look it up on AI
and then they'll stare at it and they'll write it
with a pencil.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
And if they're smart, because you've taught them that way,
they'll know the little punctuation corrections I need to make.
And just tell them to spell a word here and there.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Yeah, and I just screw up the grammar. Go for
an a plus to be.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Plus and that sentence with the preposition b pluses are good.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Sure that gets you.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Through big story of the day. Point counterpoint, let's football
go all still to come here on? I just forgotten
really just a glitch? Do you still not known

Sports Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports
Radio App.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I gotta admit to the vast majority of people about
Ralphie have been pretty funny. Our guy, our guy bred Kade.
I gotta give Bred credit. Man Brett like Brett is,
Bred is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
He finds like little things. Uh yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
There's that, but like he just has his radar for
things that like exist in the world of sports. Mat
Krekman has his trade too. It's a really good trait
to have that are like, oh that is interesting, that
is funny. That's a little bit different about something you
have that Dan, let me know when you got it.
But Brett noticed something that that, upon reflection, hit me
(00:55):
too about the Ralphie stuff. The Ralphie stuff is at
the end of the day, funny, right, No.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Nothing about it is funny, even in fact that we're
not running behind Ralphie on Friday nights not funny.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Even you doing that is funny, even you being sarcastic
like that is funny.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, or pound, this is a very serious thing. Right exactly. Okay,
how many years they've been doing this because it's breaking
a tradition doing Ralphie. Yeah, right behind it. Well, I
happened to have the list of all the Ralphie's right
in front of me, Scott. But but what's the first year? Well,
the first one was actually ralph that was a mail.
They couldn't control the mail, so they went to the
(01:36):
Phoeba renamed it Ralphi Masculinity. That's right. But debut run
was September sixteenth, nineteen sixty seven. Wow, you know, I
would think it would go back further than that. Actually,
that's okay.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean that's they tried in the in the thirties
and forties, but they realized it never made to the
arena because it was on somebody's tailgate. By then it
was a legit taibe gate back then.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Let me play our guy Brett in his observation, which
I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Go ahead, Dan, I don't need to be insulted when
I asked this question.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I need to be educated.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There's a differences.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I saw our boy r k Over at d n
v R sent out a couple of tweets about this.
He was acting as if he was putting his mother
in a home. I want to know why this is,
Ryan is because depressed.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You just get another one.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What's what is explained the buffalo?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I said that earlier, and people act acted like I
was like making fun of their children.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm like, guys, it's an animal. Just get another one.
That doesn't right?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
If you drive it in the mountains on I seventy,
you'll see a bunch of them on the side of
the mountain over there.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Daniel's Park, there's actually the south side.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, the s side.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You know where I live, right, boys, So you know
the new park there, the new the new open area. Yeah, okay,
you go over that hill and then down there there's
five buffalo to live there.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Okay, funny comment by Bread And I saw Ryan's tweet.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm like, oh my god, Ryan, I mean I facetiously
said to Scott's point about eating all the buffalo's I
facetiously said, yeah, you could eat black or you could
eat it. Don't eat blackout, don't don't do that. Ember,
you can go and eat Ember. I mean, Ember, she
does she really deserve? Does she deserve the red carpet
treatment and retirement here? I mean she was very temperamental.
(03:26):
She was I mean, what other what other female? Never mind,
she did not want to run, did not want to run.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Bread's comment though, it's like they're putting your grandmother in
an old age. It's not that serious.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It was pretty funny. That was good. Lie.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, but if you've been doing a tradition since sixty seven,
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Here's what does make it serious. And and I'm being
on the serious side here. The fact that the transition
plan did not work out ideally. All right, Yeah, that's
so so the fact that we are going to open
a game on Friday night against Georgia Tech and we
don't have a buffalo to run behind for the first
time since I believe it's the first time since nineteen
sixty seven, they didn't. I mean, maybe there was a
(04:09):
time or two that the buffalo is sick or something.
I don't know, but I mean not having a buffalo
in place, and now that whatever, everything that's getting put
out from all the CU reporters is, hey, this is
a live animal here. There's no predicting the timeline of
when she's going to be ready to run. So that
is a big deal. I mean it honestly is well,
(04:31):
what was the last say, what was the last game
that he ran last year? She? Well, she ran, well
the last game sheared she tiptoed about ten yards? Is
at the bowl game? Oh really? Yeah? Yeah, so that
was January or whatever. I don't know. Oh you don't
remember the bowl game. Again, if you haven't seen her
(04:54):
quote unquote run from the bowl game, you gotta look
it up. I mean, she literally tiptoe is about ten.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Arts and the guys are her handlers are trying to
the boy, they're trying. Yeah, but you can't slap her.
You can't hit her, you can't kick her.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Back in the day, you probably could not. These days, you.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Ain't doing that to Yeah, they're not doing that. Yeah,
I think you got to have a sense of humor.
When CU had a sense of humor, they wrote in
a press release due to an indifference in running, that's
pretty funny. You don't think that's a little snarky and funny.
I thought that was hysterical. That's like her sole job,
an inference to running.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
All season. Shouldn't you have been putting the substitute in, right?
I mean, isn't that what they do when the guy's
giving up five runs? Is hit that right hand?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Go let's go. Not last night, my friend. They say
that this thing was planned the whole time, though, that
they they were transitioning from her. It was not like
the last second decision right before the season. But unfortunately
the new buffalo, which we don't know the name of yet,
is not ready to run. We would you like? Is
that tiptoeing the guys?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Look at the handlers.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Come on, Ralph, come on, come on, good girl. What
the one of the handlers? You didn't show up for
the bowl game? Yeah, I mean, come on. The second
that she came out like that, you knew we were
gonna get our asses kicked. Then she gets see what
she gets hold? She picks it up just a little.
Oh my god. I mean, does somebody drug our buffalo?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Is that what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think somebody bold indifferent?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm with you, that deserves red carbon returning. That doesn't
deserve like you can send her to TETs.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
By the way, let me finish the quote of the press.
See you press, cor press release an indifference to running
typical of many mammals, both for legged and two legged.
They're having fun with you and good for that.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So my buffalo was rowdy, and rowdy was a badass,
and then blackout followed out. Rowdy was really good to.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Say, Buffalos, you take off and the handles will be
dragged once in a while.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Your pull up, pull up blackout, uh spring game debut.
She breaks free from the handlers and and it's running
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, you want the possibility that whoever Ralphie is could
plow into the student section at some point, that would
be you definitely want.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Like a bull in Spain jumping into the crowd.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The only reason you watch the pampalone of stuff with
those bulls is to see somebody get plowed. Now, we're
not hoping for anybody's demise, but it just happened. But
if you're gonna pull a guy uh with a bandanna
and the white shirt and the thing and do a
flippy two over the hoof the head, I don't want
to see goring. Do you want to see a guy you know?
Ask over tea kettle in Spain? You deserve it. I'm
(07:46):
killing time. Do you have the I don't know if
you have the blackout with the spring games, but.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You're right but the only thing it is is a tradition.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But then the question, what's gonna happening around that change
the tradition? No, no, but but a bunch of real grass.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Can I get? Can I give you some beef with
the on like like, I'll give you a little bit
of beef. There he did?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
This is black.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Over the handler. We're down two handlers now, but he's
dragging a handler drops the third. We're down to one handler. Wow,
what a handler is holding? Not strong? Let's go hold on,
hold on. That is awesome, that's what I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Which one was that?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That was blackout? Yeah? Blackout? Hell? You knew that was
going to be a good buffalo and that's that's that's
that's what she ain't done. Oh that is awesome. I
have never seen that before. The most awesome run I've
ever seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've never seen that. Dude.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
She hit her head on the back of that looking
them handlers are warned, those handlers that.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
One again them handler? What year was that? Eight? Totally cow?
That was amazing? Hands warned. That was the first spring
game after I left you five guys two seconds out
the case she tramples dude, Yeah, how about the guy
that stayed with her the whole time, though, I don't
know that guy's legit. Yeah, yeah, let's see if she
(09:32):
loses them. I think she loses them. Yeah, she lost
he's no, no, no, no, that's someone else that jumped in.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, this is amazing. How many years did Blackout run.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
For Blackout ran from That's what I'm talking about. Now
we got one more time, twenty eight to nineteen. That's
a seventy seventy six games, by the way, most total games.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Those handlers have hip hip pads on under their shorts.
Well you get it. Then she ran Watch fast she
hits that trailer. She's already lost another handler already.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
There's no doubt Blackout could have roamed into the student
section and plowed out.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Now Blackout, Blackout the pastor Yeah, that handler right there,
the stud he's stuck on about ninety five percent of it.
He was wore out. You ain't lying, that is give
me a black hair. You gotta find out how you
gotta get that? Did she? Sorry? Anybody I know, I
don't know. They need they need to get Yeah, someone
(10:28):
needs to put some sperm in that. Yeah they.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Okay, what's wrong with you, guys, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
There's just stuff that's good enough. Don't try to top it.
Tyler already got.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The moment happened.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I want to know the name of the new one.
I wonder if I could pull some strings and find out.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, now we're like, do we buy that? They really
do have a new one ready and it just wasn't
quite ready.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Or that story? I think? So after last season, there's
no freaking way they plan on running her again.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
No, you could clearly see she Plus you could have
seen in the spring game she wasn't up for it.
You could see a million times she wasn't up for it.
I do kind of buy it. I do buy it.
I just don't know how long it takes to train
a buffalo to do that.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, well obviously, let me ask you. Do you think
Blackout was trained?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah? Really? Well, but that was a spring game, though, Scotts,
you have to sorry, can we break? So they had
all the spring then then through the summer to keep going.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But wait, was that Blackouts first time?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That was the first run at the spring game.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But that was Blackouts first.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
So are they actually training the buffalo or are they
training the handlers to be able to stay up.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
With the buffalo. No, it's the buffalo. I mean they're
they're they're training the buffalo to not get skeittish in
the sound and in the elements and everything else.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let me ask another dumb question here, and this would
be maybe the last one who knows buffalo. I'm sort
of supporting the training of the buffalo. Buffalo are not
used to being harnessed, Like why would a buffalo ever
be harnessed for any reason? So having that harness on
(12:22):
the buffalo is a very very very unusual thing. Correct.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
It was the same thing with the horse.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Horses, horses through time have been saddled, harnessed and all
that but them to take But like like usually that
takes about twenty five seconds in a movie. I'm not
that worried about it. You know, it's the horse.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
No, no, no, I've seen.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All the horse movies, Horse Whispers, I've seen Yellowstone of Horse,
I've seen them all. You got a rowdy horse in
about twenty five seconds, You got it. It's all good.
Every movie is the same thing. You know, it's the
horse that it bucks everybody off and then there's the
one guy who shows up herdy, he'd be no hearty,
and he gets on.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
They do sweet talking. It is the guy that sweet talks.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It's the same thing every movie. So don't tell me
about that. I've seen all the movies. I have not
seen a movie where you put a harness on a buffalo.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, this is it. I did look it up once.
Can you ride a buffalo? And there and there are
people that ride buffalos?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Are they in Kevin Costner movies?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Okay, it's PhD here on ninety two five? All right,
so are we up for a point? Counterpoint? A little
bit later in the show, Scott, are you feeling that
bum's up there?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
All right?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Good, We're gonna have a Ralphie. You want to get
a Ralphie expert on here in the next couple of
days would be kind of cool. We can, Yeah, I
think that would be great. Trying to check some boxes here.
It was like, oh, well, we had Jeff on earlier.
Did you just say anything that's brought Adam Schefter is
gonna be on with us? The yeah starts smart for
(13:59):
them for the.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Best saying the best saying, but significant I thought that
Jeff said he said, Audrey didn't really want to come here,
And to be honest with you, wasn't much about that
the Broncos to bring Audrey back, Aldrick back.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Did that surprise you?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
No? Was it? Why did you sign? They goes? I
mean who says that the Broncos wanting back? Yeah, I
mean I get that both ways for sure. If you're
orodrec Astidy, I've got zero desire to come back here.
I know exactly where I stand. If you're the Denver Broncos,
you know exactly how you feel about him. Okay, he
is watched. If anybody else picks him up, it was
(14:36):
Clifton did tweet out that the Broncos would like to
bring him back. So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
They got one spot left or two spots if they
sign an international person, But really it's one spot left
on the on the practice squad.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That kind of funny, like why would you not feel
that international? Like is there not a single person in
the entire world that would be worthy of being on
the practice squad? Is it not one person in the
whole world? Is it international like it's just non id
like to play football, or.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Or is it international like they do in the Olympics.
And you know, my great great great grandmother immigrated from
Russia in eighteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't think Russia. No, it's like non citizen.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, I don't think this is like Eddie Eddie the
Eagle back in the day doing the you know, the
ski jumping.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
You haven't played for team Russian Olympics one year? What
because she had like great great great grandparents And well.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's that's great, that's different. No, yeah, no.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it's for somebody sport.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Scott is just looking for some random conte Joel m
b play. No, no, Joe Ellen, he was born in
any More.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But no, but yes, Joel Embiid, Scott Tyler, if you
want to roster Joel Embiid as your international player, he
would County And.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah he played for Team USA and the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, because it's a different parameter of everything. It's a
total different we're getting in the weeds on practice squad
international player. Well, I mean make it seventeen, make it seventeen, period.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Sixteen.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Do you remember when the Prescott was six? Oh yeah,
six six.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And you couldn't have it. You couldn't. I think it
more than it wasn't even best.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It three years.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it was way less than that.
It was like it was like three games. Seriously, you
couldn't have played in like three games.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Come a long way. Yeah, I guess we're going deep.
I was surprised Lavelle Bailey did sign with the Broncos.
I thought he was going to be insulted and would
be like pound saying him out of here. But they
brought him back. So that's well.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But if you're if you're an inside linebacker on this roster,
you got one dude playing with a club, the other
dude that hasn't really played in any preseason games and
missed a significant part of the last two years. When
you not think that there's a chance, which.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Is why the Broncs have got three practice squad insideline backer. Yeah, yeah,
plus four on the roster.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah that's a little that's yeah, that's kind of screaming
we're we're kind of short here.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yeah, you're right about that. I've been I've been
screaming that for a long time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Little little okay, little soft there in the middle.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Well hold on for on the roster, three on the
practice squad and one on the injured list. Yeah, so
in essence, you have eight inside linebackers.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
In the team. Not on the team, but in the team.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's like having two drummers in a band. They've all
kind of suck. You don't need two drummers in a band.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You have a drummer.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Because I saw the Moody Blues Downtown and they had
two drummers, but then they kind of sucked. Well, well,
the original drummer was like seventy seven and on Oxford
I think he was just he was there as a figurehead.
The other guy actually did.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Ringos Star Is.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It goes out on tour Ringos All Star band. They
carry two.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Drummers, him and him and the real one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's right, you got two, you got you got five
inside linebackers or whatever you pointed out. You've got some
problems here, not five? What am I talking about?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
You got four and then three lost or three in
the pract squad and one on the injured list, but
you got eight.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, you're right, Okay, how big of a deal is
that these days.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
In the good old NFL? Well, what's the question?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
How important is the inside linebacker top to bottom? Where
where it feels like that position has I understand they
got a tackle and they always leave the team in tackles,
but that's not unusual. Every inside linebacker for every team
leads and tackles. Aside from that, how has that role
changed over the years? What are you looking for with
that guy?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, one thing that has changed a little bit is
you're playing so much more sub on defense, so you're
you're a nickel and dime so much more than he
used to. That these guys don't necessarily have to lie
up and cover tight ends the way that they once did.
But I would argue that there's plenty of teams out
there even with base personnel on offense, meaning you've got
(19:10):
to come out in a base defense that it is more.
It's a more challenging job that it's ever been, because
the biggest mismatch on a football field is when you
can get a tight end with wide receiver type of
speed matched up on these inside linebackers. And there are
still plenty of tight ends that will fill both the
base and the sub role, meaning you're gonna have your
(19:31):
base guy having to cover this dude.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Who's the best inside linebacker in football right now?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Oh? Who's your guy? I don't know? Fred Werner's up
there corner and he's getting older.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's not like it used to be. Man, that guy
used to be position.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
That was the heavyweight champion of.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The world, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And it's just changed.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Well, I mean it's change because the tight end position
has changed.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
But look at playing inside linebacker, good camp and all
that stuff. But fifteen years ago he'd been in safety.
I mean, he's Steve atwater size.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh not even yeah, you know, I bet, I bet,
d I bet. Drake green Law is a fringe top
five guy, you know, like like like he's right up there.
I mean, you got Fred, you got dudes like roquand Smith.
I think Bobby Wagner's just holding on for legacy. But
but he certainly was in that category, you know. But
(20:28):
but Drake green Law is gonna be right there on
the fringe with the best linebackers.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I say this, A lot of people think that they
win that Super Bowl. Does he not get hurt coming
into the game?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Right how Singleton.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Alex is just rock solid. I'm a big Alex Singleton fan.
There was a point last season that it like the
coolest hip thing to do was to hate on Alex Singleton,
and I was a big defender of him from day one.
You gotta have guys like Alexton on your team because
you can't have all Drake Greenlaws, right. So Alex Singleton's
just that dude that he's gonna he's gonna be in
(21:06):
the right place at the right time because he's freaking smart.
He studies his butt off almost every single year. He's
the lead tackler on his team. Does he have deficiencies
in his game, Yeah, but not many of them. He's
really good at everything, but he's not necessarily great at
yeah anything. Yes, he's a good tackler. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Green Law has been a fascinating player to me because
he came signed it with such a big deal, like
such like I couldn't believe they got him, Like that
is amazing. And then you know, Sean's calling him the
Rocky of the Rocky Balbo of the team, like he
sounds different, and then he kind of gets hurt and
we just haven't really heard much about him or seen
(21:46):
him do much, and it's kind of like, you know,
kind of quietly just kind of gone away a little bit.
I think there's a chance he could be the most
really interesting player on the entire Broncos team, like because
we it's like Christmas pres that we just haven't unwrapped
yet to really see.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Or does he just get hurt again? Him and your
running back? I mean, let's be.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Honest, the running back. I'm rolling my eyes at the
running back stuff. It's the NFL?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
What have you? In the preseason?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It's it's to me, the running game is I don't know, man,
it's there's Saquon Barkley and then who else? Like there
aren't give me five running backs that just change the
game in the NFL these days, Bill, there's a lot
(22:34):
of great athletes. But but it's just the NFL. It's
no but, but it's significant if they're game changers like
they they I bet I come up with. Is Derek
Henry them two thousand yard rusher last year?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Okay, not any game change.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm not arguing with you.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I mean, I don't know what the definition is. If dude,
it gets two thousand yards, is it? I'll mean Derrick Henry,
uh what's his name? For the Lions, sa Bear Gibbs,
they had two good line running backs. To me, here's Robinson.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
How many how many teams start their offense Christian.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Is he still healthy? Is he still I mean, I'm
going to give him the better for the doubt. Yes,
I don't know's it's a fair question. He just got
changing with healthy. He was not healthy. Lest why do
they bringing Brian Robbins. No, No, it's absolutely a fair question.
I mean he's got achilles tendonitis in both achilles. Okay,
that ain't ever going away. And and I don't know
(23:32):
if he'll if he'll ever have like a fully healthy
season or not. But I do know when that dude's healthy,
he's a game changer. Agreed.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I love Christian. He's been one of my favorite football
players to ever watch. It just feels like when it
goes away, it goes away pretty quick for these guys.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm not running back. Maybe more thrill than anything.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
No doubt, but Christian's had one hell of a career.
I remember being a training camp years ago with Ed
and like, is Christian really going to be a running back?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Oh? Yeah, I think so. I think that's what he's
going to do. I'm like, really, it's not.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Going to be like a slot guy. This is before
Christian was in college. No, I'm going to be running back.
How do you feel about that. He's, ah, it's good.
But what the conversation is is like, it's a short career.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Well, remember when Curtis Martin didn't Curtis Martin last like
fourteen years? He was ridiculous and everybody was like, because
he was competing for Terrell kind of is the best
two running back?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He was.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
He was the greatest mediocre running back of all time because.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
He didn't get hurt and he stayed healthy for a
long time. Correct. I think he played fourteen years?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It was bananas? How the yards with Curtis Martin just
all pile up on really not that impressive seasons. But
how do you stay healthy at that position? How did
Emmitt Smith stay healthy all those years when he was
like a bell coow back and he just got the ball.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Over and over and over. He played twenty years? How
did Frank Gore do it?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
No clue? How these guys are?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It seem like.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
It'd be easier to play twenty years now running back
than it was fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, why you don't run as much? Point? Oh, okay,
here's the problem. There's really no such thing as bell
cow There's only a couple.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No, But here's the bigger point. They don't pay running
backs anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, but you know what, so two million or three
million dollars a years a lot easier to make playing
football than than going out.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Fine, but the running backs aren't the focus of the
entire not one like one Bell cow guy isn't the
focus of the entire team anymore.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
You got four dudes in the NFL make it over
fourteen million dollars in the running back position.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, those should be the big Well, all right's making
twenty point six. Derrick Henry Christian is second at nineteen Christian,
then Derek at fifteen four.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Jonathan Taylor. Okay, okay, I didn't even mention Jonathan Taylor earlier.
Let me give you Churtis Morrin eleven years in the NFL.
It was a running back. Do you know?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It wasn't until his eleventh season that he didn't rush
for one thousand yards? Wow, he and he only played
twelve games that year and he rushed for seven thirty five.
His high was the year before his tenth season, he
ran for sixteen hundred ninety seven yards.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
He was a freak. He's a Hall of Fame. I
think he just made the Hall of fame, didn't he
like the last five years? Is he a freak?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Was kurz Maarnin really a freak?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Because it didn't never seem like like you said at
walks he said, he didn't seem like he was that special. No,
I mean fifteen hundred eleven fifty eleven sixty twelve eighties,
so thirteen and fourteen sixty, Well that was now fifteen
thirteen thousand, ninety four, thirteen oh eight, sixteen ninety seven,
and then seven thirty five. He had fourteen thousand, one
(26:54):
hundred and one rushing yards the year he rushed for
sixteen or ninety seven. Guess how many carries he in?
Three hundred and seventy one. Who's going to carry the ball?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Three?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Did the Broncos even have three hundred and seventy one
between their top two backs last year?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I gotta do some division on that. Let me get
my calculator out. Uh, well, let me do it by hand. No,
I'll just use a calculator. So that's twenty three carries
a game.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
For reference. Derrick Henry, who had two thousand yards last year,
he carried it three twenty five. There you go, which
is an insane amount it's seventeen games, Yeah, seventeen. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
What are good numbers for the Broncos running backs this year?
What are you gonna be happy with?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you can get both averaging or not averaging. If
you can get both anywhere between eight hundred and one
thousand yards, that's a good year. The average. You want
him to both be around four per carry or better,
and you're having a successful season.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
That's what I was gonna say. If I can get
my two main guys, which are gonna be important for you,
around four four to five yards per carry, and if
both of them get over two hundred carries in one
hundred and ninety carries each, something like that, three eighty
(28:18):
between the.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Two of them. I think two hundred each is fair.
That's what I'd like to see.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
And I tell you what, if he does have bon
Nick's going to have a monster year. If they both
carried about one hundred and five times and are averaging
about three point two, Bo's gonna be running for his
life this season.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well, have no dumb questions coming up. In ten minutes,
Tyler has a ethical or question about being a parent,
which leads us to believe he's made a bad decision
as a parent, But we'll find out here in just
a little bit quick hitters on the NFL Schaders named
the third string guy.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Officially. Well, he jumped up. He was fourth in a
depth chart all the year.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Did Sefanski have to do that? I guess he did. Huh.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I think it was a smart thing to do. I
mean you you would have found out on game day,
but you just immediately put the conversation to bed, like
this thing's done. Here, here, here's the play, and this
is what we're doing. If you got controversy, the best
thing to do is address it as soon as you
possibly can.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Good decision or bad decision to make him third string
that second string?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You know, listen, I shut the fans up. I really
do believe Shadeur Sanders has got far better ability than
Dylan Gabriel. But if you're being fair to what you
saw in the preseason, and I understand Dyl Gabriel got
to play with the twos, I understand he got to
have a better offensive line in front of him, but
(29:41):
you're just evaluating the film that you've got. Dylan Gabriel
did string together a couple games that looked better than.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Shoulders, although I will say this looked fine in the game.
He got to play with ones and twos.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Sure he did. What week does shadeur start? I'm just
ticking with seven seven quick to me, now I've changed
my opinion because well, you need two guys to fail, right, right,
So you need Joe Flacco to fail.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
And Gabriel to fail, which that could.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I mean Joe Flacco could fail by week five, yes,
week six, yes, you could have a change there by
week six, and then you put in Dylan Gabriel. You
don't want to have a short lease on it, so
give him a minimum of five or six games.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's what I was thinking. I was going to say,
Shader gets his first starting I don't even know who
they playing.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I don't know. I'd call it week you know what
it would probably be. It probably be a garbage time
end of the year week fifteen, week fourteen, something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, you know that's what Tibo did. That's exactly what happened.
And you know why though his rookie year.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
But you know why because he had two of your
last three games were at home, and crowds were starting
to stay away from the games. At the end of
the year, that is true, and they put him in
and all of a sudden, the twenty thousand those shows
from the previous home game showed up.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
The biggest no show I've ever seen was I think
in twenty ten against the Rams NFC non conferences. There
might have been thirty thousand empty seats. It was like insane,
how many MPCs there were.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Joe Flecko wasna gonna go didn't Josh get fired the
next week? Yeah? Yeah, yeah Josh?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And that's and that's do you remember who took over
as coach, Eric Woo, good memory, nice job.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I wasn't even on the team. Was gonna go for four.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
They're gonna put Gabriel in Minnesota home game and then
at Pittsburgh, and Gabriel is gonna get absolutely monster crushed
in Pittsburgh. Won't finish the game. Yeah, income Shuder. And
then he starts at home versus Miami.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
A week so you call him week seven.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I've been I've called that for the last all right,
I like it. Months two months.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I will pick out at Vegas because that would be juicy.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
The third game twelve, yep.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Week twelve game eleven, YEP, I'm gonna pick out week.
You're right, So yeah, I suppose that's their eleventh game
in week twelve. But but for this same reason, Flacco's
gonna get destroyed, Gabriel's gonna fail slash injured. I'll circle
that week twelve, which is their eleventh, But that gives
you a lot of run right there. So that would
(32:12):
be Shudur at Vegas home against Frisco home against Tennessee
at Chicago. You know you got to you got an
okay slay right there. It's not murderer's row.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Well, once you get through week six, you got Miami,
New England, New York, you got Jets, you got three weeks.
That'd be nice to have a young quarterback in there
as opposed to you know, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Detroit.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
You want to call it Tyler Wow. I mean, I'd
be really surprised if he got anything more than just
a couple of garbage time games. So, you know, the
Pittsburgh game, maybe Buffalo. He gets two or three games
at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So you go really like Tibo Tebow's first year, that's
what he got. He got the last three games of
the year.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
They're not gonna be a rush to put him on
the field.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say the same was true
about Tibo. But you know, just fills the coach. They
fire McDaniels the seasons of dumpster Fire. It was the
only good thing to do. I could see that being
in the case too.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Quite frankly, that might be the best case scenario for him.
It's no pressure, right, well, it's pressure free and it's
a limited sample size and if you go out there
have success for a couple of games. We got a
lot of momentum going into the next year.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
All right, we will in the two o'clock hour debate
the measures because the Morning show is very political today,
very very political having Wellington web on, but we will
we will have the point counterpoint that's a let's football
go big story.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Literally or so I think, and that's a interrupt let
football go.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well we'll do you know, let's football go. We'll do that.
But then that the tail end, that would make sense
to have a political counterpoint to the fair to be
fair under the fairness doctrine that the local airwaves, I
mean the Morning Show had there. We'll have a you know,
belong tree side of things. They had Wellington web on,
(34:07):
Glad he's doing.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Okay, I thought to him quite a bit during the season.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right, but there's another side to that story, so
fair and balanced.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
We were either going to entertain or piss a off
people off.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
That is about to happen at two thirty.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
There you go. We're not gonna pissed it one off.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
No dumb questions coming up next.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Columbus Hastings and dmac percent dumb, dumb, dum dum dumb,
no dumb questions.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
This is your safe space, safe place. I'm leaning into
the segments.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You're a smart guy. Send us your not dumb question now,
tweet it, text it, or twitch it. It's no dumb questions.
On Altitude Sports Radio ninety two.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Five, you're right about that. Kevin Hogan who ex Bronco
Kevin Hogan, We're just having some off air conversation about
Christian what'shing the best this year? Okay, no dumb questions?
What you got, Tyler?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, we we were talking about math earlier in the show, right,
and Scott was talking about how these are different nowadays,
and you were asking, why don't you just use a calculator?
Some about chat GPT got brought up and do it
and That reminded me of a conversation I had with
my daughter the other day, and I just asked her.
I don't remember where this came from. I think I
was using chat GPT for something, and I just asked her.
(35:31):
I said, hey, be honest with me. You got a
free pass here, won't get in trouble. Okay, be honest.
How many times have you used chat GPT to write
a paper for you? She's like, no, I haven't done that.
And then she's like, I'm not gonna get in trouble.
Oh no, you're not get in trouble. She's like, okay, baby.
A couple times. I'm like, all right, so here's my question. Okay,
(35:53):
good parenting device, bad parent device? Here? Right, I am
not naive to the fact that our children are going
to use AI. I'm not naive. I'm not stupid. There's
no stopping it. It doesn't matter how many times somebody
tells you not to use it. Right. So I took
that moment to teach her about all the ways that
(36:13):
kids are getting caught using AI. So my advice to
her was, hey, all right, but if you're gonna use it,
be smart enough on how to use AI. So I
told her, so, I told her all the ways that
kids are getting caught. Hey, so chat GPT for example,
they put a bunch of hyphens in it where kids
would never put hyphens in it, and kids are getting
(36:35):
caught left and right for where the hyphens are.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
You got to pull the I mean correct punctuality, yeah,
but no kid uses iphen yeah, correct punctuality right, No
kid does that, right, So you're gonna get caught or
adult for stuff like that. There's actually software out there
now that these teachers can use where they will put
the put the whatever, the paper into a program and
(37:00):
it can show it being written in real time if
you did it on Google docs.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Right. So I'm like, hey, all right, so you gotta
be careful that. You also got to pull it out.
You got to put it into the Google doc, you
gotta type it up, and you got to change it
up to be make it your own and everything. But
my advice to her was that I'm not dumb. I'm
not stupid. I know these kids are gonna use AI.
Don't get caught us ad AI. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This is like putting the taping the gun at the
Italian restaurant for Michael to use on BARZENI mcclass.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Okay, because if I because if I told her, hey,
hey daughter, right, daughter, don't don't don't use AI, Yeah,
she would be like, okay, I'm not gonna use it right.
Here's that that would work?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
If that would work, it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Really really, because kids are just gonna be like, Okay,
I'm never gonna use a free out.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
You know what you gotta do. You gotta show her
good will hunting when Will just wants to do the
girls homework and she's.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I need to learn to do it for myself. I
need to, you know, I need to.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It's my English accent, by the way.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
So I could be a realistic parent or an unrealistic parrot.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Yeah, listen, if you already know what you're gonna you
know you've already decided that you're doing the right thing.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
That it's not much of a question. No, no, no, I
mean I'm up with I'm up a conversation here. I
think defending myself a little bit. Sure.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I think showing kids gateways to not get caught is
similar to abiding them and cheating. So I think that's
the question.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Is as you're sitting there with your daughter and you
guys are sharing a bourbon and you tell her, you
tell her this, yeah, over a joint and you say,
I don't know it's it's Here's here's why i'd like
to event.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
If they don't have it, maybe they do have it.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Here's here's where I think, gay, I would be fine
for kids that you'd be able to scan what you
wrote that you wrote right it, because that way you
know your premise and you could scan an AI can
correct your mistake, spelling whatever for you. So then you
could turn in a cleaner document without necessarily just writing it.
I don't I don't know if it has that capability.
I've never used chat GP.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yeah, I at what should your kids?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I mean they could literally write a full paper in
two seconds. Yeah, and now now you could like guide
it on how you want it to write the paper
and you can give it an influence. But it's done,
and that that's what all the kids are doing.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You just have to figure out at what age you
your kids should have consequences for not doing the right thing.
And that's it. But there's no firm answer for that.
I don't know what the answer is to that.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
So in wine today that when when I know what
I would do if I was a kid. Okay, if
my parents told me not to use AI and I
could still get away with using AI. I'm using AI right.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Then you get caught at some point and then you'd
face a consequence and can you live with that consequence
or not.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
I'd get caught once and then I'd learned how to
not get caught ever again.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Okay, I got caught cheating. She in high school. I
got caught by the teacher was awful. Had a little
like a paper sheet, like a cheat sheet, and I
as I'm looking at the cheat sheet, I look up
and the teacher is staring me at the eyes and
this is you.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Could put you teach. Teach, sheat right on your calculator. Yeah, buddy,
what Oh yeah I didn't Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Another great reason for calcult.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
That was our teating in high school. I did not
know that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I look up, she looks at me in the eye.
She comes this is the first five minutes to test.
She comes over, it takes my test away and gives
me a zero. And I and it was bad. Like
I was a big athlete in high school. At least
I could have lost a lot and it taught me
one hell of a lesson. It was the last time
I ever tried cheating and everything, but I had to.
You know, it was stupid. I shouldn't have done it
in the first place.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
You never cheated again.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I never cheated again, Swear to God, Swear to God.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
I was. I will.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Well, that was it. I had my moment, and you know,
that was it. So I just didn't cheat.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
I was.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was it. Junior year of high school, never cheated again?
Is that really that unusual?
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Yes, well that's my story.
Speaker 4 (40:51):
I saw a meme today. Things you tell your kids
are going back to school and blah blah blah, and
they say, well, the school work is hard, and your
answer should be, well, if it's hard, it means your
brain's working. So if the writing is hard, means your
brain's working.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Yeah. I think we're giving.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Too many to in my opinion, kids are getting too
many outs to not have to use their brain, and
this AI for homework just seems like another way out.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Man.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
It ain't going away as the problem, but it does.
It can go away in your household realistically, probably not
three days a week. God, that was a little aggressive, well,
but not being serious. I got a daughter crying do
(41:41):
a mathlin table. Guess what good she was crying? Oh?
Hey good?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how you
guys do it. Frankly, honestly, I shouldn't give any advice
at all or have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
What do I know?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I don't know squat about what it takes to raise
a kid these days. Who knows.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
I don't make a phone call, so one's probably sitting
on a couch on the front porch.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I'm boulder right now.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
I don't know what he's doing. Hopefully he's doing all right.
I hope he's doing good after all.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
Bags point, by the way, it's not a calculator, like like,
why do kids have to learn math because they gonna
have a calculator. What do you think these kids are
gonna do when they get in the workforce. They're gonna
type it into AI and they're gonna write all their
emails through AI. That's what That's how it's going down.
That's how it's going down today. You know, employers don't
write their emails anymore. They put it all in AI
(42:30):
because they don't want to mess anything up.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
And that's where we reveal this show has been AI
the entire two hours. When is that gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (42:46):
What is golf? Announcers through AI? I have not. It's
pretty damn good. Now golf is a unique sport that
you can actually pull it off.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Oh oh okay, yeah, it's kind of like a video
Is it like a video game sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Dude? They're doing no, I mean they'll they'll do AI
with real tournament.
Speaker 4 (43:03):
The Actors Guild is scared as hell as far as
movies and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Did you see Will Smith put out a promotional like
clip of his concerts that's all AI fans and AI
stuff allegedly? Who do you think is holding up Will
Smith fresh print signs and a concert? It looks so cheesy,
it was. I thought it was kind of easy to
see that that was AI. I don't know what you
(43:29):
guys do with the AI and your kids. They really
can write a paper in five seconds?
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Five seconds?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, give me a thousand words.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
But there is software out there that could prove did
you type it or not? So you got to take
it and you put it into Google docs and then
you type it or whatever.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, what stops you from just retyping it.
Speaker 3 (43:47):
Right somebody wrote in here, will make them write with
the pencil. Okay, so they'll look it up on AI
and then they'll stare at it and they'll write it
with a pencil.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
And if they're smart, because you've taught them that way,
they'll know the little punctuation corrections I need to make.
And just tell them to spell a word here and there.
Speaker 3 (44:04):
Yeah, and I just screw up the grammar. Go for
an a plus to be.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Plus and that sentence with the preposition b pluses are good.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Sure that gets you.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Through big story of the day. Point counterpoint, let's football
go all still to come here on? I just forgotten
really just a glitch? Do you still not known
