Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is six in the Morning with Brett Caine on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Check out Brett weekday mornings at six on Altitude Sports
Radio not E two five and on the Altitude Sports
Radio App.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded.
That was strictly about Dart I mean, and I that
was in no way, shape or form anything that was
(00:40):
directed at russ So And I might be able to
see how he might perceive that. But uh, coming off
that win and watching how he played, Yeah, that that
wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Get a room, you two.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I understand that maybe, like I try and take everybody
at face value unless they're just clearly whizzing in my
boots and tell me I'm raining. I'll believe him that
he didn't intend for that to be a shot at Ross.
I also will say it still wouldn't surprise me if
(01:24):
it was. You know, it also could be both. And
Sean Payton's been in this game long enough where he
knows how this works, like the the basic common human
being knows how that this works.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Because we live now in these times of Twitter and
everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I don't go on Facebook anymore, but I went on
there once and I saw somebody that I went to
high school with.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Say something political.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And then argue with the whole bunch of people who
are arguing the other political opinion for about fifty comments.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
And I know that seems miserable.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I think Sean Payton understands that if you say
something that can even slightly be perceived as a slight
or diss or whatever towards somebody else, it's going to
get picked up and ran with. If I were to
tweet out today Steve Nelson that I think the Nuggets
(02:38):
are missing the playoffs as we approach Game one for them,
is that going to get a lot more interaction than
I think the Nuggets will be pretty good this year.
Of course it will, and we know that. And what
if I said, yeah, basketball is difficult because divisions don't matter.
(03:01):
But if I said no, no, no, I said the Nuggets
were missing the playoffs because I'm paying a compliment to
the Sacramento Kings and how good I think they're going
to be, you know that's not going to be the
translation there, especially for somebody where I'll do it again.
(03:23):
You've heard me say this before, guaranteed. But Nelly very
clearly Sean Payton and Russell Wilson hated each other. I
mean it was obvious when they were on the same team,
(03:45):
and so you go, hey, I'll tell you what. We
were really hoping that they didn't go to this quarterback
switch before our game. The translation is very simple. First
quarterback stunk, second one better. How would the guy who's
(04:05):
the first quarterback in that situation not take that as
a slight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Russ and Sean, if five of you are listening right now,
you just got to kiss and make up. The sexual
attention between these two is killing me. This is like
in a rom com when you have two characters that
spend the whole movie hating each other and then they're
in a room together and they're like, bleep you, bleep you,
and then they just start making out. All right, Sean, Russ,
(04:32):
use some tongue. Just get over this.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Do you know what this like?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know what Sean Payton would never do. Let's say this, Nelly,
that the Giants before the Broncos game fired Brian Dable
and their interim head coach was some young up and comer.
Let's say they had Davis Webb on their staff. That
(04:58):
everybody here in Denver and everybody on that coaching staff
seems to really like and things got a bright future.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So roll with me here. Let's say that.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Davis Webb was on the Giant staff, Brian Dable got
fired before the Broncos game, Davis Webb took over and
they played that exact same game. Would Sean Payton dream
of saying we were really hoping that coaching change happened
after we played them. Of course he wouldn't because he
(05:29):
knows how that would sound to Brian Dable. So it's
not a matter of do I think that he intentionally
took a shot at Russell Wilson. No, I don't think
he cared, and now it's the blowback. But anyway, there's something.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Else that he said.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So he was kind of fired up from the very
beginning of this press conference, and that's how it started
with the Russell Wilson comments, and then it got into
people asking about his offense. That's the one I'm much
more concerned with, and it's about what is the strategy
(06:15):
of the short passes, the bubble screens, the stuff that
just doesn't seem to work, and can bubble screens work?
They can if you are really good at blocking on
the outside, and it doesn't seem like the white outs
are there yet.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But he gets into a back and forth with who
was it?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Hold please, it was oh Luke Evans the Denver post
about the screen games and ones that didn't quite come together,
and nowly do we have this one ready?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Cause Sean Paynon had a lot to say, and I
can't find this particular cut. But while I'm looking for it,
can I interest you in a different good?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So someone asked him about the season being weird? Is
what they said, right, that there's just a razor's edge
between between being seven and oh and oh and seven. Yeah,
And Sean did not like this reporter describing the season
as weird.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Knowing how much you respect ourselves. He has that famous
saint you are what your record says you are?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
That's right?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Do you believe that at five and two?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And it's And so that's why, even if it's weird,
it's still got.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
What's weird to get to the way that ending not weird.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Every game we play is weird.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Like the team that we just celebrated the other night,
go back through their record, it's weird. Well, I'm saying
it's unusual to have less points scored than your opponents
and win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It's weird. So so just to get.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
There's no listen, we're not we don't reflect back, we
go forward, and uh, that's that's how you have to
approach it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What does that mean? What does that mean? I'm genuine
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
This season has been really weird. I mean the way
that you won last weekend was so weird that in
the three thousand and six hundred and seventy nine times
that that exact scenario played out, two teams have won.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I would consider that weird.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
If I did something that has a two in three thousand,
six hundred and seventy nine chants, I'd be like the odd.
In fact, there's a word called odds that described that.
And then I I don't like the we don't look
(08:52):
backward thing, because, as we have pointed out many times
in this show, Nelly, looking backward is something that Sean
Payton does a lot when describing how he did things
in New Orleans. Well why are you staying at the Greenbrier?
(09:16):
Why are you making the trip to London at this time? Well,
in New Orleans, we did this and It's like that's
looking backward. It just feels like that's too convenient of
an out to a question. Just like when you're asked
about Drake Greenlaw and what he brings to the table,
and you go, we don't talk about injured players, and
(09:37):
it's like, I thought he wasn't injured anymore that he's playing.
It just feels like that's too convenient of an out.
You know, the things that I have concerns about heading
into this weekend are exactly what these questions are sort
of referring to.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You need.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Defensively to be on every single little detail if you
want to hold the Dallas Cowboys offense and check they're
incredibly good, really good, always have been with a healthy
Dak by the way, like the Dallas Cowboys with healthy
(10:16):
Dak Prescott will always be dangerous. You need to be
able to score to keep up. If you're thinking this
defense is gonna hold the Cowboys to ten points, I
think you're in for a rude awakening. Now are they capable?
They're sure capable of it. What would really help in
that category is turnovers. I mean, they lead the league
(10:41):
in sacks and they really haven't had an opportunities just
straight up pin their ears back because all these games
have been really close. Imagine what have looked like if
they had, you know, a fourteen to seventeen point lead
(11:02):
something like that. But they're constantly trying to play catch
up this whole time, and that's not helping anything. But
I am very concerned with their offense because you can
look at the Cowboys defense and they are awful, I
mean straight up terrible. But your offense against bad defenses
(11:22):
this year hasn't really taken advantage of those. And so
does it have something to do with the game planning?
Does it have something to do with the play calls
in this short passing game. Well, let's see what Sean
Payton thinks about that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
When you look back at the screen game, and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Yeah did
you see those? How many? How many big ones? You know?
How many big screens too? No? Not enough? Go watch it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Obviously there's some looks that we didn't block exactly how
we wanted to, but we ended up with some big,
big plays by Tyler Ingram. But they had a couple,
So I'm not on the screen count next question.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Nope, go back and watch again. More than that, there's
more than that. It's like, okay, but do you understand
the spirit of the question. Like again, It's just there's
stuff that I think. When you're a coach and the
(12:33):
offense hasn't been good this year, not to say they've
been terrible, but they haven't been good, there has to
be a reason for it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So what is it?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Texas says, I get the sense that Brett, you have
a lot of hate for the coach.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't have any hate for Sean Payton. I think
he's a really good coach because I'll tell you this much.
With how you've played this year, I think being five
and two is really impressive. And I think the fact
that he had that a playoff team with a rookie
quarterback last year, a team that I thought talent wise
(13:12):
was probably going to be picking near the top five
to take them to the playoffs, is incredibly impressive. But
I do think that there's a sense of, you know,
there's an ego about this and a stubbornness where I
think as a coach you need to be willing to
admit when some things just aren't working, and I think
(13:34):
he has a tough time doing that.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
How many big ones? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Can I hear that exchange again? One more time? Just
that back and forth.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
When you look back at the screen game, and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Did you
see those? How many? How many big ones? You know?
How many big screens?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No? Not enough, but watch it. Obviously there's some looks.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Okay, I'm a big it's always Sunday in Philadelphia, a
fan of When he kept doing that, it reminded me
of d in the psychiatrist's office.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Go ahead, and Nellie, I'm so, I'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I'm sorry. How are you feeling about all.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Of what I'm doing?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Did you like that?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Do you think that was good? Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Tell me it was good.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Tell me i'm good. Tell me i'm good. Tell me
that was good.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Tell me i'm good. Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean it sounded just like that, didn't it. Yeah,
there were some big ones. Count them? How many were there?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
How many? How many? Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
No, no, how many? How many? Tell me I'm good.
Tell me I'm good. Tell me I'm good.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Again. It's not. It's if you're reading this as hate
for the coach, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I just think there's a stubbornness where things could get
better had you not been so stubborn. It's the same
thing like people confuse this when I talk about Deon
the same way. I think Dion's very stubborn about things.
I think sometimes as a head coach having one that's
a little more introspective, saying, is there is there something
that was maybe wrong with my game planning?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Did you see those? How many? You know?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We talked to Jared Bednar every week. I think Jared
Bednar is.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Excellent at that part of it, willing to admit when
something wasn't working and maybe he needs to do something different.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So it is a Nuggets ticket Thursday. So here's what's
gonna happen. The same way that we do this with
Avalanche ticket Tuesdays, I give you a keyword on the twenties.
Every single hour you text in those keywords and it's
a chance for you to win a pair of tickets.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
This is for the home opener, correct, Nelly, yep?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The home opener on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
So each hour on the twenties, I give you a keyword.
We give away a pair of tickets at the end
of the show. Each show gets that along with a
second chance drawing. I don't have the copy in front
of me, Nellie. What's the Altitude Sports Radio dot Com slash?
What is it for the Nuggets second chance?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
It's Nugs ticks. We make it easy because remember it
for the Avs ticks asticks. So this one's nugs tick.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One G or two g's is the important detail one
G one G. So Altitude Sports Radio dot Com slash
Nugs ticks for another chance. But that first keyword coming
your way next.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
When you look back at the screen game and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Did you
see those? How many? How many big ones?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You know? How many big screens? Don't start counting, No,
don't start counting.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
How many big ones. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
We got some big tickets to give away today, pair
of tickets to the Nuggets. Every hour on the twenties,
keywords you first keyword for this hour is zeke text
zeke like zeke nause and your first and last name
the three zero, three, five, four, nine to two five.

Again.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Your six' twenty keyword Is. Zeke so text that in
your first and last. Name, well announce the winner at
the end of the show at nine to fifty.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Five and by the, way last year At Nuggets Media,
DAY i helped out our boss with recording all those
snippets of players, Saying, hey this is so and, so
and you're listening to out dude sports. RADIO i got
to Record zeke. Najy he has the, deepest most perfect radio,
voice does it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
WELL i know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That look that guy's accomplished in a lot of. Things
he was incredibly. Smart he's an accomplished, pianist and and
he's a professional basketball.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Player.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
YEAH i kind of hate the guy because he has

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Zeke i'll tell you really pisses me. Off So landy
doesn't piss me off because he's. Ours But landy has
all the qualities of somebody that would really make you,
Mad like you can't be that, cool in that handsome
and that good at, hockey in that everything.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Else you can't have, everything and yet he.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Does My number one in that category of the guy
who's got everything going for him that really pisses me
off Is Jalen. HURTS i think it's the reason why
already hates. Him nobody's willing to call him a top
five quarterback in the league because he is remarkably good,
looking incredibly, rich Super bowl champion. Quarterback like you can't
(18:58):
have all of that at one, dude AND i was
blessed with none of?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
It is that?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Fair if you, Want, BRETT i can come in there
in the next commercial, BREAK i can still push your
touch for. You i'll make you feel Like Jalen.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Hurts it's just like it's some genetic lottery that has
been won By Jalen, Hurts And i'm, like what? That, no,
no no. No The nuggets open up their season, tonight
a season that every one of these years has had high,
expectations but not quite like. This it is on, PAPER
(19:37):
i think the best team The nuggets have ever had
from top to, bottom because what do you need to
possess to be a. Champion you need one of the
best players in the, world.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Flat out. Necessity you need. Depth they haven't had that
over the last few. Years they got. That now you need.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
CONSISTENCY i think it's been sort of the standard of
what this team is is that they have a bunch
of guys where you know exactly what they're bringing to
the table every. Night AND i think the kings of
those Are jokic, Obviously Aaron gordon And Christian. Brown the
other two when you're starting five that you had over
(20:22):
the last couple of years Between jamal AND mpj have
not been you couldn't put them in that, category but
they were in the category of when they're, good you're almost.
Unbeatable but you've added all these different. Pieces the valentunis,
part Bringing Bruce brown, back Bringing tim hardaway in bringing
(20:43):
it it's just over and over, again you got different
guys you can point to that are, trustworthy REAL nba,
Players AND i don't think there's any doubt about. This
this standard here feels like if you don't win the, championship.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's not good. Enough And i'm saying this in a
season where you have a first year head, coach you
have a brand new.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Front, office but what remains unchanged Is Nikola jokic is
the best player in the. World, no it reminds me
when was it two thousand and seventeen or something like.
That do you remember that year that The cavs went
(21:39):
to The finals With David blatt and they had a
roster because of injury that Featured lebron With Della vedova with.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
A WHOLE i don't even know the rest of the.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Roster it was bad because they didn't Have kyrie Or
Kevin love and they lost in, SIX i, believe and
then they Gassed David. Blatt the next, year the expectations
were the. Same they had Ty lewis head coach and they.
WON i feel like you can do that this. Year
you can be that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Version of whatever That calves were because they had the
best player in the.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
World their guys got, healthy so they got a little
bit of depth and then capitalized on. HIM i don't
think the expectation should be lower anymore because here's what shouldn't.
Happen pray To god it. Doesn't this should not Be
(22:41):
jokic needs to carry eighty percent of what you do
and then you just need a couple other guys to
fill in the twenty. Percent this should be a more
even distribution of effort and a more even distribution Of.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Like here's WHAT i hope, Happens.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
NELLY i hope To god That yokich's numbers take a,
hit because if they do ninety nine, percent, assuredly it's
because other people are doing their job. Exactly you're spreading
the point total. Around he's not getting as many minutes
(23:27):
on the floor Because Yonis valentiunas is trusted as a.
Backup like all of those things would be.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Perfect you don't want him to have another sixty thirty
twenty stat line in a double overtime loss. Anymore let's get.
It and by the, WAY i KNOW i mentioned this
a week or two, ago BUT i went to the
One nuggets preseason game they had here In, DENVER. Yep
valentunis looked. GOOD i know it's, preseason and maybe he
was playing against because he's. Good maybe he's playing against
(23:54):
a couple of future cell phone. Salesmen but like seeing
an actual backup big who plays like a big and
can get nasty in the paint Or i'll use The
vic terminology that always gets him on drunk. Takes he
was banging down low yeah in the post, yeah throwing
his butt into, guys clearing a path For. JOKIC i
just it was. AMAZING i am so.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Excited you, Know i'm also really curious at what the
split's going to be between him And yokic being on
the floor at the same, time a whole bunch of
teams doing that Twin towers. Thing you, know The knicks
did that With Karl Anthony towns and.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Uh it Was kat and was It hartenstein a couple
of years? Ago the hell AM i, Thinking i'll.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Talk about thunder Legend Isaiah. Hartenstein, well they do the same.
Thing they Have hartenstein And Chet. Holmgren but The Tea
wolves obviously did that With.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Kat And Rudy.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Gobert the difference is with those Guys, Hartenstein, hartenstein, Whatever, Hartenstuon,
hartenstun Bog.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Don, bogdon Big don Bag. Don he's not an offensive.
Threat he can't.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Shoot he's like around the, rim little baby hook dunk
lay one off the.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Glass whatever that can, happen that's.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Possible the same thing With cat And. Gobert, gobert he's
not an offensive. Threat he is a dunker and a rim.
Protector valentiunas And jokic do a little bit. Everything valentiunas
can make a. Three AND i think part of the
reason that really like shifted his way of thinking towards
(25:44):
joining The nuggets is he didn't want to be a
pure backup To Nikola jokic getting twelve minutes, tonight and
so they convinced, him, hey we'll play you guys at
(26:04):
the same time and you won't get twelve, minutes you
might get.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Twenty AND i think that really greased the skids for.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Him, okay this Is.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'll just read it from.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Chams portland Trail blazers Coach Chauncey billups has been arrested
by THE fbi for alleged illegal. Gambling so this comes
off the heels That Terry rogier just got arrested for
the same.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Thing the coach being arrested is really. Interesting by the, Way,
portland a team that felt like they could be on the.
Rise M, god THE nba is getting hit with a
(27:12):
lot of this.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Stuff So portland finished last year thirty six and forty,
six but they were finding something towards the end of the.
YEAR i am pretty shocked by, this and now he
keep an eye out for any sort of details that
emerge from this and where this kind of stemmed. From
But Chauncey billups being arrested by THE, fbi according To,
(27:38):
schams in a alleged illegal gambling. Probe, again it's the
second announcement of that of the, day Because Terry rozier
was arrested early this morning by The Eastern district Of New, York.
(28:05):
Okay so it says at ten O'clock eastern, time THE
Fbi Director Cash pattel is going to have a press
conference announcing the arrests and the. Investigation so perhaps in
about an hour and a half we'll have a lot more.
Details But i'm trying to think what happens for a
head coach to get arrested for illegal? Gambling is it
(28:27):
that he wasn't playing his best players at certain? Times
because what's the allegation. Here it's that you don't get
arrested for trying, hard you get arrested for doing the.
Opposite SO i it's hard for me to say much
(28:49):
else without having details of this other than, man this really.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Sucks The chauncey's the king of Park, hill.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
But he has been arrested by THE fbi for alleged legal.
Gambling so as more details, emerged we'll keep you up
to date on that.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
One.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man the season's just, starting and YOU i thought about
this WHEN i saw The roseier, News, like you go
into this whole offseason of planning for what your rotation
is going to look, like and then you get a
guy who's arrested like the day like opening, day.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And now to have that for your coach is. Crazy
oh that. Sucks.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Man THE nba is is nothing if not filled with. Trauma,
man we got Kauiet as, trees we got all these
betting scandals going.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
On well this is, Terrible, like this is terrible for the.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
League the more of these stories that, emerge the harder
it gets to trust, things doesn't. IT i mean that
was the whole thing With Tim donnihey when that stuff
went down initially and they, said, guys it was only
donahe who was doing, this AND i was, LIKE i
(30:09):
find that really hard to. Believe you're on a crew of.
Guys if one guy is going, rogue wouldn't the other
guys ask? Questions but they buried that by saying, no, no,
no this is the only, Guy no more. Questions this is.
It we found the the the rat were. Done the
(30:32):
more of these stories that sort of emerge of guys
doing the illegal gambling, thing the bigger problem this becomes
for THE, nba because then you, say.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
How widespread is?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
This and sports fans they're not dumb. People they can,
connect that's pretty. Easy and when you start to question
the integrity of the thing that you're, watching.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It can kill a.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
SPORT i think it's part of the reason why boxing went,
downhill not that they.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you, know there have.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Been examples of judges that are maybe a little bit
rigged to one, side but it's more like this subjective
nature OF i watched one thing and came to a
different conclusion than. YOU i don't, Know texas, say who
would have thought getting in bed with betting In vegas
would lead to?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
THIS i don't think this is a betting Or vegas.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Problem getting in bed with the companies has nothing to
do with whether you act on that or. Not they
could have been doing this for years in THE. Nba
the bigger issue is not that they got in bed
with them that sports scambling was legalized across the. Country
(31:54):
he used to be had to go through a bookie
unless you were In. Vegas, now how many of you
guys sit on your couch On sunday and throw down
fifty bucks on ten different.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Bets, again that's what they're worried.
Speaker 2 (32:11):

your chance to win a pair of tickets to the
home opener On saturday Against phoenix to three h three
five four nine two. Five so, again as details, Emerge

morning for alleged illegal, gambling according to shams that also
happened earlier this morning With Terry rozier of The Miami.
Heat WHAT i was going to say at the end
of this segment that gotrailroaded by that news was The
nuggets need to win championships in a, hurry because If

victor Woman yama gets a team around, him then that
team is going to be freaking, Unbelievable like a true
freak of nature is that? Guy but goodness, gracious keep

this Morning Chauncey billups arrested by THE fbi for alleged illegal.
(33:19):
Gambling so press conference by THE fbi, DIRECTOR i guess
is at eight O'clock mountain.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Time we'll get a little.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Bit of an update on what exactly is going, on
but a lot more to get to stick.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Around, OKAY i can't help.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
But think that some of this is IN i don't
want to intentional or the timing's very odd that the
seasons starting and then this, happens and now what is
supposed to Be like you're if you're working for the,
league like one of your favorite times of the, year
(33:56):
it's the opening to the. Season it's the everybody feels
like they got some sort of a chance and they
got hype surrounding their, team and then you have just
this giant cloud that hangs over the. League it's, brutal
but especially for it to happen with a, coach and
(34:17):
the coach being the one with tyes here In Chauncey billups.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Like hall Of. Famer it's just to, ME i don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
What the coach can do to influence a gambling thing
other than like play players who are bad intentionally.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Something like.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
THAT i have no idea or draw up a specific
play for a guy to get him a bucket or.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
SO i don't.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Know, again there's gonna be a press conference at eight
o'clock this morning with THE fbi Director Cash patel where
he's going to explain why Both Chauncey phillips And Terry
rosier were taken in and arrested this.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Morning, so, Man i'm just kind of blown away by
this and the fact.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That that, basketball more than any other, sport is getting.
Hit we've seen guys and football get hit with this.
STUFF i mean A Jasa rique was suspended for a year.
(35:42):
NOW i think this separation between like lifetime ban.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Or whatever and a few weeks suspension or something has
to do with what exactly you were gambling.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
On And, nellie if you get more details of what's
going on, here just interrupt me and filling the.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Blanks you know it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Wild by the, way is when we're watching basketball tonight
AND i don't know who has the the. Games if
we're still going on THE, nbc in The bacock OR,
espn whoever has it, tonight it's gonna Be, wow what
a big. Story that's. Crazy Chauncey phillips will get more
information on.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Now let's see who's Our Draft kings pick of The. Knight,
yeah go in With Lebron james pick to. Click it's
just this is gonna be even worse than When DeMar
hamlin almost died on a field and then we Got, Whopper,
Whopper whopper or whopper every commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
BREAK i you know, again people are gonna make that
one to one that, oh, well what did you expect
when you Let Draft kings and fan duel and everybody?
Else AND i really don't think it has anything to
do with. That, hey guess what the THE nfl has
ads for. BEER i don't think that it makes guys
(37:08):
want to drink beer more who are in THE. Nfl
it's not the actual sports books. Problem if, anything what
it's done is just made because of the advent of
it being legal. Now and trust, me in states where
you can't gamble on sports, STILL i make the drive
(37:29):
back to see my family In omaha every.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Year trust, Me.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Nelly i've been on the road where what's the town
that's right there on the. Border it's Like Big springs
that's right on the border Between colorado And. NEBRASKA i
think it's something like. That, Yeah so trust, Me. Nelly
(37:59):
i've been in.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Furious stretch years ago WHEN i was throwing down some.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Bets we'd be on the road on like A friday
or A thursday or, whatever back To, omaha AND i
would realize we're getting close to The nebraska, border AND
i know that your phone HAS geo tracking on these
sports gambling, Apps AND i, said Oh, GOD i got
to throw in a few of these bets before football
(38:25):
starts this, weekend Because i'm not going to be able
to do it IF i.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Don't And, nelly WHEN i SAY.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I tried to get it at the buzzer WHERE i
tried to throw down a. Bet the SECOND i crossed
that imaginary line where it says welcome To nebraska or
whatever the hell that thing, says.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
It didn't allow me to do.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It with the legalization of that stuff for everybody, ELSE
i think has made it a lot easier for guys
to get in.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Trouble and and this is the most important. Part track.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
You you know, What you couldn't Track nelly IF i
met my bookie in the parking lot after the show
today and gave him a thousand dollars to put down
On Thursday night football. Tonight the government can't put a
geo fence on, that but they can track the people
(39:22):
who did it.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Right AND i was more referring to, that we're gonna
get this funny juxtaposition of discussing this issue on shows
that are sponsored by legal sports, betting including our. Station
you're gonna hear ads for sports betting apps while we're
discussing this. ISSUE i think it's a funny, Juxtaposition but,
NO i agree with you that at the end of the,
day it comes down to self. Control And i'll give
(39:47):
you an. Example Jason, cosmiski the voice of the radio
voice of The nuggets on this, station has talked before
about how strict THE nba is with betting on. Sports
they tell any in THE, nba you cannot bet on THE,
nba you can't bet on. Basketball don't even don't even
think about betting on THE nba if you have anything
(40:08):
to do with the. League and cause he loves, bets
but he'll he'll only place bets on on. Maction you,
know he'll bet on, Yes Michigan Ohio bobcats, football and
he'll bet on His. Packers. Right he doesn't even touch
THE nba with a fifty foot pole because he understands the.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Rules and and THE nba has, said, LIKE i Think
i'm probably in the. CLEAR i don't do it, anyway
just BECAUSE i don't want to lose my job over
five a five dollars.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Parlay but Like.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Moser can't gamble on hockey because he is technically somebody
with inside excuse, me inside. Information they're very strict on that,
stuff AND i think they should. Be but, yeah that
was just it was shocking news this. Morning again if
you guys To Chauncey billups arrested this morning as part
(41:05):

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Check out Brett weekday mornings at six on Altitude Sports
Radio not E two five and on the Altitude Sports
Radio App.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded.
That was strictly about Dart I mean, and I that
was in no way, shape or form anything that was
(00:40):
directed at russ So And I might be able to
see how he might perceive that. But uh, coming off
that win and watching how he played, Yeah, that that
wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Get a room, you two.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I understand that maybe, like I try and take everybody
at face value unless they're just clearly whizzing in my
boots and tell me I'm raining. I'll believe him that
he didn't intend for that to be a shot at Ross.
I also will say it still wouldn't surprise me if
(01:24):
it was. You know, it also could be both. And
Sean Payton's been in this game long enough where he
knows how this works, like the the basic common human
being knows how that this works.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Because we live now in these times of Twitter and
everything else.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I don't go on Facebook anymore, but I went on
there once and I saw somebody that I went to
high school with.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Say something political.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And then argue with the whole bunch of people who
are arguing the other political opinion for about fifty comments.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
And I know that seems miserable.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I think Sean Payton understands that if you say
something that can even slightly be perceived as a slight
or diss or whatever towards somebody else, it's going to
get picked up and ran with. If I were to
tweet out today Steve Nelson that I think the Nuggets
(02:38):
are missing the playoffs as we approach Game one for them,
is that going to get a lot more interaction than
I think the Nuggets will be pretty good this year.
Of course it will, and we know that. And what
if I said, yeah, basketball is difficult because divisions don't matter.
(03:01):
But if I said no, no, no, I said the Nuggets
were missing the playoffs because I'm paying a compliment to
the Sacramento Kings and how good I think they're going
to be, you know that's not going to be the
translation there, especially for somebody where I'll do it again.
(03:23):
You've heard me say this before, guaranteed. But Nelly very
clearly Sean Payton and Russell Wilson hated each other. I
mean it was obvious when they were on the same team,
(03:45):
and so you go, hey, I'll tell you what. We
were really hoping that they didn't go to this quarterback
switch before our game. The translation is very simple. First
quarterback stunk, second one better. How would the guy who's
(04:05):
the first quarterback in that situation not take that as
a slight.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Russ and Sean, if five of you are listening right now,
you just got to kiss and make up. The sexual
attention between these two is killing me. This is like
in a rom com when you have two characters that
spend the whole movie hating each other and then they're
in a room together and they're like, bleep you, bleep you,
and then they just start making out. All right, Sean, Russ,
(04:32):
use some tongue. Just get over this.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Do you know what this like?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know what Sean Payton would never do. Let's say this, Nelly,
that the Giants before the Broncos game fired Brian Dable
and their interim head coach was some young up and comer.
Let's say they had Davis Webb on their staff. That
(04:58):
everybody here in Denver and everybody on that coaching staff
seems to really like and things got a bright future.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So roll with me here. Let's say that.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Davis Webb was on the Giant staff, Brian Dable got
fired before the Broncos game, Davis Webb took over and
they played that exact same game. Would Sean Payton dream
of saying we were really hoping that coaching change happened
after we played them. Of course he wouldn't because he
(05:29):
knows how that would sound to Brian Dable. So it's
not a matter of do I think that he intentionally
took a shot at Russell Wilson. No, I don't think
he cared, and now it's the blowback. But anyway, there's something.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Else that he said.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So he was kind of fired up from the very
beginning of this press conference, and that's how it started
with the Russell Wilson comments, and then it got into
people asking about his offense. That's the one I'm much
more concerned with, and it's about what is the strategy
(06:15):
of the short passes, the bubble screens, the stuff that
just doesn't seem to work, and can bubble screens work?
They can if you are really good at blocking on
the outside, and it doesn't seem like the white outs
are there yet.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But he gets into a back and forth with who
was it?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Hold please, it was oh Luke Evans the Denver post
about the screen games and ones that didn't quite come together,
and nowly do we have this one ready?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Cause Sean Paynon had a lot to say, and I
can't find this particular cut. But while I'm looking for it,
can I interest you in a different good?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So someone asked him about the season being weird? Is
what they said, right, that there's just a razor's edge
between between being seven and oh and oh and seven. Yeah,
And Sean did not like this reporter describing the season
as weird.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Knowing how much you respect ourselves. He has that famous
saint you are what your record says you are?
Speaker 6 (07:21):
That's right?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Do you believe that at five and two?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And it's And so that's why, even if it's weird,
it's still got.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
What's weird to get to the way that ending not weird.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Every game we play is weird.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Like the team that we just celebrated the other night,
go back through their record, it's weird. Well, I'm saying
it's unusual to have less points scored than your opponents
and win a Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It's weird. So so just to get.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
There's no listen, we're not we don't reflect back, we
go forward, and uh, that's that's how you have to
approach it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What does that mean? What does that mean? I'm genuine
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
This season has been really weird. I mean the way
that you won last weekend was so weird that in
the three thousand and six hundred and seventy nine times
that that exact scenario played out, two teams have won.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I would consider that weird.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
If I did something that has a two in three thousand,
six hundred and seventy nine chants, I'd be like the odd.
In fact, there's a word called odds that described that.
And then I I don't like the we don't look
(08:52):
backward thing, because, as we have pointed out many times
in this show, Nelly, looking backward is something that Sean
Payton does a lot when describing how he did things
in New Orleans. Well why are you staying at the Greenbrier?
(09:16):
Why are you making the trip to London at this time? Well,
in New Orleans, we did this and It's like that's
looking backward. It just feels like that's too convenient of
an out to a question. Just like when you're asked
about Drake Greenlaw and what he brings to the table,
and you go, we don't talk about injured players, and
(09:37):
it's like, I thought he wasn't injured anymore that he's playing.
It just feels like that's too convenient of an out.
You know, the things that I have concerns about heading
into this weekend are exactly what these questions are sort
of referring to.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You need.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Defensively to be on every single little detail if you
want to hold the Dallas Cowboys offense and check they're
incredibly good, really good, always have been with a healthy
Dak by the way, like the Dallas Cowboys with healthy
(10:16):
Dak Prescott will always be dangerous. You need to be
able to score to keep up. If you're thinking this
defense is gonna hold the Cowboys to ten points, I
think you're in for a rude awakening. Now are they capable?
They're sure capable of it. What would really help in
that category is turnovers. I mean, they lead the league
(10:41):
in sacks and they really haven't had an opportunities just
straight up pin their ears back because all these games
have been really close. Imagine what have looked like if
they had, you know, a fourteen to seventeen point lead
(11:02):
something like that. But they're constantly trying to play catch
up this whole time, and that's not helping anything. But
I am very concerned with their offense because you can
look at the Cowboys defense and they are awful, I
mean straight up terrible. But your offense against bad defenses
(11:22):
this year hasn't really taken advantage of those. And so
does it have something to do with the game planning?
Does it have something to do with the play calls
in this short passing game. Well, let's see what Sean
Payton thinks about that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
When you look back at the screen game, and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Yeah did
you see those? How many? How many big ones? You know?
How many big screens too? No? Not enough? Go watch it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Obviously there's some looks that we didn't block exactly how
we wanted to, but we ended up with some big,
big plays by Tyler Ingram. But they had a couple,
So I'm not on the screen count next question.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Nope, go back and watch again. More than that, there's
more than that. It's like, okay, but do you understand
the spirit of the question. Like again, It's just there's
stuff that I think. When you're a coach and the
(12:33):
offense hasn't been good this year, not to say they've
been terrible, but they haven't been good, there has to
be a reason for it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So what is it?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Texas says, I get the sense that Brett, you have
a lot of hate for the coach.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't have any hate for Sean Payton. I think
he's a really good coach because I'll tell you this much.
With how you've played this year, I think being five
and two is really impressive. And I think the fact
that he had that a playoff team with a rookie
quarterback last year, a team that I thought talent wise
(13:12):
was probably going to be picking near the top five
to take them to the playoffs, is incredibly impressive. But
I do think that there's a sense of, you know,
there's an ego about this and a stubbornness where I
think as a coach you need to be willing to
admit when some things just aren't working, and I think
(13:34):
he has a tough time doing that.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
How many big ones? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Can I hear that exchange again? One more time? Just
that back and forth.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
When you look back at the screen game, and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Did you
see those? How many? How many big ones? You know?
How many big screens?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No? Not enough, but watch it. Obviously there's some looks.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Okay, I'm a big it's always Sunday in Philadelphia, a
fan of When he kept doing that, it reminded me
of d in the psychiatrist's office.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Go ahead, and Nellie, I'm so, I'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I'm sorry. How are you feeling about all.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Of what I'm doing?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Did you like that?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Do you think that was good? Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Tell me it was good.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Tell me i'm good. Tell me i'm good. Tell me
that was good.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Tell me i'm good. Tell me i'm good.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean it sounded just like that, didn't it. Yeah,
there were some big ones. Count them? How many were there?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
How many? How many? Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:36):
No, no, how many? How many? Tell me I'm good.
Tell me I'm good. Tell me I'm good.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Again. It's not. It's if you're reading this as hate
for the coach, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I just think there's a stubbornness where things could get
better had you not been so stubborn. It's the same
thing like people confuse this when I talk about Deon
the same way. I think Dion's very stubborn about things.
I think sometimes as a head coach having one that's
a little more introspective, saying, is there is there something
that was maybe wrong with my game planning?
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Did you see those? How many? You know?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We talked to Jared Bednar every week. I think Jared
Bednar is.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Excellent at that part of it, willing to admit when
something wasn't working and maybe he needs to do something different.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So it is a Nuggets ticket Thursday. So here's what's
gonna happen. The same way that we do this with
Avalanche ticket Tuesdays, I give you a keyword on the twenties.
Every single hour you text in those keywords and it's
a chance for you to win a pair of tickets.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
This is for the home opener, correct, Nelly, yep?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The home opener on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
So each hour on the twenties, I give you a keyword.
We give away a pair of tickets at the end
of the show. Each show gets that along with a
second chance drawing. I don't have the copy in front
of me, Nellie. What's the Altitude Sports Radio dot Com slash?
What is it for the Nuggets second chance?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
It's Nugs ticks. We make it easy because remember it
for the Avs ticks asticks. So this one's nugs tick.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One G or two g's is the important detail one
G one G. So Altitude Sports Radio dot Com slash
Nugs ticks for another chance. But that first keyword coming
your way next.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
When you look back at the screen game and especially early,
it's a little bit touching.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Yeah. And then there were some big ones. Did you
see those? How many? How many big ones?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
You know? How many big screens? Don't start counting, No,
don't start counting.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
How many big ones. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
We got some big tickets to give away today, pair
of tickets to the Nuggets. Every hour on the twenties,
keywords you first keyword for this hour is zeke text
zeke like zeke nause and your first and last name
the three zero, three, five, four, nine to two five.
You enter for a chance to win a pair of
tickets to the home opener Saturday against Phoenix, and you
(17:16):
don't miss all the great fan friendly options and the
concession stands for five bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Again.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Your six' twenty keyword Is. Zeke so text that in
your first and last. Name, well announce the winner at
the end of the show at nine to fifty.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Five and by the, way last year At Nuggets Media,
DAY i helped out our boss with recording all those
snippets of players, Saying, hey this is so and, so
and you're listening to out dude sports. RADIO i got
to Record zeke. Najy he has the, deepest most perfect radio,
voice does it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
WELL i know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That look that guy's accomplished in a lot of. Things
he was incredibly. Smart he's an accomplished, pianist and and
he's a professional basketball.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Player.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
YEAH i kind of hate the guy because he has
a good radio. Voice he's good at. Piano are you
just trying to take Everything i'm good? At you're coming
for radio and? Music So i'll tell you you give me, Something.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Zeke i'll tell you really pisses me. Off So landy
doesn't piss me off because he's. Ours But landy has
all the qualities of somebody that would really make you,
Mad like you can't be that, cool in that handsome
and that good at, hockey in that everything.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Else you can't have, everything and yet he.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Does My number one in that category of the guy
who's got everything going for him that really pisses me
off Is Jalen. HURTS i think it's the reason why
already hates. Him nobody's willing to call him a top
five quarterback in the league because he is remarkably good,
looking incredibly, rich Super bowl champion. Quarterback like you can't
(18:58):
have all of that at one, dude AND i was
blessed with none of?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
It is that?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Fair if you, Want, BRETT i can come in there
in the next commercial, BREAK i can still push your
touch for. You i'll make you feel Like Jalen.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Hurts it's just like it's some genetic lottery that has
been won By Jalen, Hurts And i'm, like what? That, no,
no no. No The nuggets open up their season, tonight
a season that every one of these years has had high,
expectations but not quite like. This it is on, PAPER
(19:37):
i think the best team The nuggets have ever had
from top to, bottom because what do you need to
possess to be a. Champion you need one of the
best players in the, world.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Flat out. Necessity you need. Depth they haven't had that
over the last few. Years they got. That now you need.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
CONSISTENCY i think it's been sort of the standard of
what this team is is that they have a bunch
of guys where you know exactly what they're bringing to
the table every. Night AND i think the kings of
those Are jokic, Obviously Aaron gordon And Christian. Brown the
other two when you're starting five that you had over
(20:22):
the last couple of years Between jamal AND mpj have
not been you couldn't put them in that, category but
they were in the category of when they're, good you're almost.
Unbeatable but you've added all these different. Pieces the valentunis,
part Bringing Bruce brown, back Bringing tim hardaway in bringing
(20:43):
it it's just over and over, again you got different
guys you can point to that are, trustworthy REAL nba,
Players AND i don't think there's any doubt about. This
this standard here feels like if you don't win the, championship.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's not good. Enough And i'm saying this in a
season where you have a first year head, coach you
have a brand new.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Front, office but what remains unchanged Is Nikola jokic is
the best player in the. World, no it reminds me
when was it two thousand and seventeen or something like.
That do you remember that year that The cavs went
(21:39):
to The finals With David blatt and they had a
roster because of injury that Featured lebron With Della vedova with.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
A WHOLE i don't even know the rest of the.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Roster it was bad because they didn't Have kyrie Or
Kevin love and they lost in, SIX i, believe and
then they Gassed David. Blatt the next, year the expectations
were the. Same they had Ty lewis head coach and they.
WON i feel like you can do that this. Year
you can be that.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Version of whatever That calves were because they had the
best player in the.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
World their guys got, healthy so they got a little
bit of depth and then capitalized on. HIM i don't
think the expectation should be lower anymore because here's what shouldn't.
Happen pray To god it. Doesn't this should not Be
(22:41):
jokic needs to carry eighty percent of what you do
and then you just need a couple other guys to
fill in the twenty. Percent this should be a more
even distribution of effort and a more even distribution Of.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Like here's WHAT i hope, Happens.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
NELLY i hope To god That yokich's numbers take a,
hit because if they do ninety nine, percent, assuredly it's
because other people are doing their job. Exactly you're spreading
the point total. Around he's not getting as many minutes
(23:27):
on the floor Because Yonis valentiunas is trusted as a.
Backup like all of those things would be.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Perfect you don't want him to have another sixty thirty
twenty stat line in a double overtime loss. Anymore let's get.
It and by the, WAY i KNOW i mentioned this
a week or two, ago BUT i went to the
One nuggets preseason game they had here In, DENVER. Yep
valentunis looked. GOOD i know it's, preseason and maybe he
was playing against because he's. Good maybe he's playing against
(23:54):
a couple of future cell phone. Salesmen but like seeing
an actual backup big who plays like a big and
can get nasty in the paint Or i'll use The
vic terminology that always gets him on drunk. Takes he
was banging down low yeah in the post, yeah throwing
his butt into, guys clearing a path For. JOKIC i
just it was. AMAZING i am so.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Excited you, Know i'm also really curious at what the
split's going to be between him And yokic being on
the floor at the same, time a whole bunch of
teams doing that Twin towers. Thing you, know The knicks
did that With Karl Anthony towns and.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Uh it Was kat and was It hartenstein a couple
of years? Ago the hell AM i, Thinking i'll.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Talk about thunder Legend Isaiah. Hartenstein, well they do the same.
Thing they Have hartenstein And Chet. Holmgren but The Tea
wolves obviously did that With.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Kat And Rudy.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Gobert the difference is with those Guys, Hartenstein, hartenstein, Whatever, Hartenstuon,
hartenstun Bog.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Don, bogdon Big don Bag. Don he's not an offensive.
Threat he can't.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Shoot he's like around the, rim little baby hook dunk
lay one off the.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Glass whatever that can, happen that's.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Possible the same thing With cat And. Gobert, gobert he's
not an offensive. Threat he is a dunker and a rim.
Protector valentiunas And jokic do a little bit. Everything valentiunas
can make a. Three AND i think part of the
reason that really like shifted his way of thinking towards
(25:44):
joining The nuggets is he didn't want to be a
pure backup To Nikola jokic getting twelve minutes, tonight and
so they convinced, him, hey we'll play you guys at
(26:04):
the same time and you won't get twelve, minutes you
might get.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Twenty AND i think that really greased the skids for.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Him, okay this Is.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'll just read it from.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Chams portland Trail blazers Coach Chauncey billups has been arrested
by THE fbi for alleged illegal. Gambling so this comes
off the heels That Terry rogier just got arrested for
the same.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Thing the coach being arrested is really. Interesting by the, Way,
portland a team that felt like they could be on the.
Rise M, god THE nba is getting hit with a
(27:12):
lot of this.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Stuff So portland finished last year thirty six and forty,
six but they were finding something towards the end of the.
YEAR i am pretty shocked by, this and now he
keep an eye out for any sort of details that
emerge from this and where this kind of stemmed. From
But Chauncey billups being arrested by THE, fbi according To,
(27:38):
schams in a alleged illegal gambling. Probe, again it's the
second announcement of that of the, day Because Terry rozier
was arrested early this morning by The Eastern district Of New, York.
(28:05):
Okay so it says at ten O'clock eastern, time THE
Fbi Director Cash pattel is going to have a press
conference announcing the arrests and the. Investigation so perhaps in
about an hour and a half we'll have a lot more.
Details But i'm trying to think what happens for a
head coach to get arrested for illegal? Gambling is it
(28:27):
that he wasn't playing his best players at certain? Times
because what's the allegation. Here it's that you don't get
arrested for trying, hard you get arrested for doing the.
Opposite SO i it's hard for me to say much
(28:49):
else without having details of this other than, man this really.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Sucks The chauncey's the king of Park, hill.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
But he has been arrested by THE fbi for alleged legal.
Gambling so as more details, emerged we'll keep you up
to date on that.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
One.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man the season's just, starting and YOU i thought about
this WHEN i saw The roseier, News, like you go
into this whole offseason of planning for what your rotation
is going to look, like and then you get a
guy who's arrested like the day like opening, day.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And now to have that for your coach is. Crazy
oh that. Sucks.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Man THE nba is is nothing if not filled with. Trauma,
man we got Kauiet as, trees we got all these
betting scandals going.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
On well this is, Terrible, like this is terrible for the.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
League the more of these stories that, emerge the harder
it gets to trust, things doesn't. IT i mean that
was the whole thing With Tim donnihey when that stuff
went down initially and they, said, guys it was only
donahe who was doing, this AND i was, LIKE i
(30:09):
find that really hard to. Believe you're on a crew of.
Guys if one guy is going, rogue wouldn't the other
guys ask? Questions but they buried that by saying, no, no,
no this is the only, Guy no more. Questions this is.
It we found the the the rat were. Done the
(30:32):
more of these stories that sort of emerge of guys
doing the illegal gambling, thing the bigger problem this becomes
for THE, nba because then you, say.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
How widespread is?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
This and sports fans they're not dumb. People they can,
connect that's pretty. Easy and when you start to question
the integrity of the thing that you're, watching.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
It can kill a.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
SPORT i think it's part of the reason why boxing went,
downhill not that they.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Have you, know there have.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Been examples of judges that are maybe a little bit
rigged to one, side but it's more like this subjective
nature OF i watched one thing and came to a
different conclusion than. YOU i don't, Know texas, say who
would have thought getting in bed with betting In vegas
would lead to?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
THIS i don't think this is a betting Or vegas.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Problem getting in bed with the companies has nothing to
do with whether you act on that or. Not they
could have been doing this for years in THE. Nba
the bigger issue is not that they got in bed
with them that sports scambling was legalized across the. Country
(31:54):
he used to be had to go through a bookie
unless you were In. Vegas, now how many of you
guys sit on your couch On sunday and throw down
fifty bucks on ten different.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Bets, again that's what they're worried.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
About so just a, reminder keyword for this hour is
zeke text that in your first and last name for
your chance to win a pair of tickets to the
home opener On saturday Against phoenix to three h three
five four nine two. Five so, again as details, Emerge
i'll keep you up as much AS i can on.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
This.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Uh But Chauncey billups was arrested by THE fbi this
morning for alleged illegal, gambling according to shams that also
happened earlier this morning With Terry rozier of The Miami.
Heat WHAT i was going to say at the end
of this segment that gotrailroaded by that news was The
nuggets need to win championships in a, hurry because If
(32:53):
victor Woman yama gets a team around, him then that
team is going to be freaking, Unbelievable like a true
freak of nature is that? Guy but goodness, gracious keep
you up to date on it. Again the breaking news
this Morning Chauncey billups arrested by THE fbi for alleged illegal.
(33:19):
Gambling so press conference by THE fbi, DIRECTOR i guess
is at eight O'clock mountain.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Time we'll get a little.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Bit of an update on what exactly is going, on
but a lot more to get to stick.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Around, OKAY i can't help.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
But think that some of this is IN i don't
want to intentional or the timing's very odd that the
seasons starting and then this, happens and now what is
supposed to Be like you're if you're working for the,
league like one of your favorite times of the, year
(33:56):
it's the opening to the. Season it's the everybody feels
like they got some sort of a chance and they
got hype surrounding their, team and then you have just
this giant cloud that hangs over the. League it's, brutal
but especially for it to happen with a, coach and
(34:17):
the coach being the one with tyes here In Chauncey billups.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Like hall Of. Famer it's just to, ME i don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
What the coach can do to influence a gambling thing
other than like play players who are bad intentionally.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Something like.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
THAT i have no idea or draw up a specific
play for a guy to get him a bucket or.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
SO i don't.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Know, again there's gonna be a press conference at eight
o'clock this morning with THE fbi Director Cash patel where
he's going to explain why Both Chauncey phillips And Terry
rosier were taken in and arrested this.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Morning, so, Man i'm just kind of blown away by
this and the fact.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That that, basketball more than any other, sport is getting.
Hit we've seen guys and football get hit with this.
STUFF i mean A Jasa rique was suspended for a year.
(35:42):
NOW i think this separation between like lifetime ban.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Or whatever and a few weeks suspension or something has
to do with what exactly you were gambling.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
On And, nellie if you get more details of what's
going on, here just interrupt me and filling the.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Blanks you know it's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Wild by the, way is when we're watching basketball tonight
AND i don't know who has the the. Games if
we're still going on THE, nbc in The bacock OR,
espn whoever has it, tonight it's gonna Be, wow what
a big. Story that's. Crazy Chauncey phillips will get more
information on.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Now let's see who's Our Draft kings pick of The. Knight,
yeah go in With Lebron james pick to. Click it's
just this is gonna be even worse than When DeMar
hamlin almost died on a field and then we Got, Whopper,
Whopper whopper or whopper every commercial.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
BREAK i you know, again people are gonna make that
one to one that, oh, well what did you expect
when you Let Draft kings and fan duel and everybody?
Else AND i really don't think it has anything to
do with. That, hey guess what the THE nfl has
ads for. BEER i don't think that it makes guys
(37:08):
want to drink beer more who are in THE. Nfl
it's not the actual sports books. Problem if, anything what
it's done is just made because of the advent of
it being legal. Now and trust, me in states where
you can't gamble on sports, STILL i make the drive
(37:29):
back to see my family In omaha every.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Year trust, Me.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Nelly i've been on the road where what's the town
that's right there on the. Border it's Like Big springs
that's right on the border Between colorado And. NEBRASKA i
think it's something like. That, Yeah so trust, Me. Nelly
(37:59):
i've been in.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Furious stretch years ago WHEN i was throwing down some.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Bets we'd be on the road on like A friday
or A thursday or, whatever back To, omaha AND i
would realize we're getting close to The nebraska, border AND
i know that your phone HAS geo tracking on these
sports gambling, Apps AND i, said Oh, GOD i got
to throw in a few of these bets before football
(38:25):
starts this, weekend Because i'm not going to be able
to do it IF i.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Don't And, nelly WHEN i SAY.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I tried to get it at the buzzer WHERE i
tried to throw down a. Bet the SECOND i crossed
that imaginary line where it says welcome To nebraska or
whatever the hell that thing, says.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
It didn't allow me to do.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It with the legalization of that stuff for everybody, ELSE
i think has made it a lot easier for guys
to get in.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Trouble and and this is the most important. Part track.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
You you know, What you couldn't Track nelly IF i
met my bookie in the parking lot after the show
today and gave him a thousand dollars to put down
On Thursday night football. Tonight the government can't put a
geo fence on, that but they can track the people
(39:22):
who did it.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Right AND i was more referring to, that we're gonna
get this funny juxtaposition of discussing this issue on shows
that are sponsored by legal sports, betting including our. Station
you're gonna hear ads for sports betting apps while we're
discussing this. ISSUE i think it's a funny, Juxtaposition but,
NO i agree with you that at the end of the,
day it comes down to self. Control And i'll give
(39:47):
you an. Example Jason, cosmiski the voice of the radio
voice of The nuggets on this, station has talked before
about how strict THE nba is with betting on. Sports
they tell any in THE, nba you cannot bet on THE,
nba you can't bet on. Basketball don't even don't even
think about betting on THE nba if you have anything
(40:08):
to do with the. League and cause he loves, bets
but he'll he'll only place bets on on. Maction you,
know he'll bet on, Yes Michigan Ohio bobcats, football and
he'll bet on His. Packers. Right he doesn't even touch
THE nba with a fifty foot pole because he understands the.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Rules and and THE nba has, said, LIKE i Think
i'm probably in the. CLEAR i don't do it, anyway
just BECAUSE i don't want to lose my job over
five a five dollars.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Parlay but Like.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Moser can't gamble on hockey because he is technically somebody
with inside excuse, me inside. Information they're very strict on that,
stuff AND i think they should. Be but, yeah that
was just it was shocking news this. Morning again if
you guys To Chauncey billups arrested this morning as part
(41:05):
of AN fbi sports betting gambling pro.
