00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.839
Well, theme do it Broncos country
tonight. But with all Brian Dick,

2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:10.080
Ferguson, Grant Smith, CSU upon
Virginia, Let's see if they can hold

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.759
it. No, right, we're
just smiling somewhere. Virginia's is that team

4
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.399
in the NCAA tournament that always disappoints. They always find the ways. I

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:23.719
saw somebody on lines like I'm willing
to risk it all for Virginia again and

6
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:30.399
you'll be disappointed. Oops. CSU
up twenty seven fourteen. Looks like just

7
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.039
under two minutes left the first half. Look at the NFL six pack here

8
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.280
in a second, Yeah, CS, you put it to Virginia. Looks

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.600
like Colorado basketball will be going in. Then, of course we get the

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.880
Sea Buffs men's basketball tomorrow, also
at tend Seed. Also a play in

11
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.399
game. We had Mark Johnson on
earlier, had a chance to talk with

12
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.679
him that interviews up Broncos Counry Dot
that Com Slash podcast pregame six thirty Tip

13
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.200
seven to ten right here on Anyway, right here exclusively on Kley, Official

14
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.480
Home of the Cu Buffs. It's
time for the NFL six back. It's

15
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.719
time for the NFL sixth pad I'm
going to trade at yarn insight and insight

16
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:18.200
information you can't find anywhere else.
No. Six. The top six NFL

17
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.719
headline on the Minnesota Vikings are the
betting favorites to draft JJ McCarthy from the

18
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.439
Vikings trade up to get to the
first round draft pick last week, widely

19
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.400
viewed as the first step to the
forty move into the top ten to draft

20
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.159
their franchise quarterback. Michigan's JJ McCarthy
is expected to be that quarterback. Betting

21
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.159
odds have the Vikings as the favorite
to lam Mcarthury. They're minus one fifteen.

22
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.799
The biggest question is how high they
need to move up to get him.

23
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.280
Caleb Williams is heavily favored to go
first overall, Jade Daniels favorite to

24
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.319
go second, Drink May favor to
go third, trading up to fourth.

25
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.159
Maybe the goal for the Vikings bit
currently owned by the Arizona Cardinals that the

26
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.519
Vikings don't draft McCarthy. The Giants
are of the team of the next best

27
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.200
odds plus three point fifty, and
they're followed by the Broncos at plus four

28
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.960
thirty and the Patriots at plus nine
hundred. Basically, if you want to

29
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.080
get one of these quarterbacks, you've
got to get into the top six.

30
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.680
If you want one of the big
forty, you've got to get in the

31
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.759
top six. This is shaping up
to go exactly the way that we've been

32
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.479
talking about it here on this show
Minnesota. Does that make Minnesota funny or

33
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.560
an enemy for stomping all over the
Broncos plans by signing Sam Darnold and then

34
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.039
jumping ahead of further ahead of them
to draft JJ McCarthy. No, it

35
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.439
doesn't at all, because the Vikings
decisions should not impact the Broncos as far

36
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.759
as what they want to do.
The Minnesota Vikings are making decisions based on

37
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.639
how they see their team right now
in the future outlook, So they set

38
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.479
themselves up properly to make that movie
if they want to. But you were

39
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.319
mentioning about, well, if you
don't have the draft capital to get the

40
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.240
top four quarterbacks, then you're out
of the mix, which we know the

41
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.280
Broncos don't really have those picks.
But at the same time, do you

42
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.599
really need to get one of those
top quarterbacks to be successful in the NFL?

43
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.879
History has shown us no, you
don't. You just need to get

44
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.759
your guy. You need to get
your guy and give him time to develop.

45
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.719
Two. The Carolina Panthers have agreed
to terms with wide receiver David Moore,

46
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.240
but more importantly, linebacker Justin Sternad. Sternad, of course, was

47
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.120
previously with the Broncos. It's a
one year deal for Sternad, which reunites

48
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.039
him with the Garo Riverro. Obviously, Josie Jewel already signed with the Carolina

49
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.919
Panthers, giving them an interesting tandem
there that both know the defensive scheme.

50
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:44.599
How do we feel about Jaro Rivero
loading up on former Broncos there in Carolina.

51
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.919
I like it. I like to
see guys move on and continue to

52
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.680
play in the similar system. And
what it means is that somehow you made

53
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.599
an impression. And obviously, based
on what Josie was paid, he made

54
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.800
one hell of an impression. Where
the Panthers we're willing to give him up

55
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.039
success a lot more than the Broncos
are willing to give him. But I'm

56
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:11.280
happy for both players and Scherannad has
an opportunity, you know, to work

57
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.279
himself into that second role, backing
up maybe Josie, but you know he's

58
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.959
going to be there as a player
that helps him out on special team.

59
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.680
So I like when players find themselves
in these situations. Stas twenty seven appeared

60
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.079
in fifty games five starts with the
Broncos over the last three seasons twenty twenty

61
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.240
three, seventeen games, five tackles, three hundred and ninety five special teams

62
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.399
snaps, So it gives you some
versatility there are owners are not likely to

63
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.000
vote on Tom Brady's bid to buy
a piece of the Raiders next week.

64
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.720
The Super Bowl Sunday Splash report suggested
that Tom Brady's moving closer to having his

65
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.120
effort to buy a piece of the
Raiders approved now. Mark Maskis of Washington

66
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.879
Post reports NFL owner is not expected
during next week's annual meetings to vote on

67
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.720
Brady's bid, borring a last minute
change. The deal was done more than

68
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.480
a year ago. The effort he
became derailed when the NFL adopted a rule

69
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.480
remitted owners from giving equity to employees. Raiders owner Mark Davis spoke out against

70
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.759
the change. Is believed he wanted
to use employment by Brady as a way

71
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.120
to partially consummate the deal. Since
then, it became clear that Davis had

72
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.439
agreed to sell roughly ten percent of
the team at a deep discount. That

73
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.319
does not sit well with other owners
since it needs to devalue their equity as

74
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.480
well. Now, the potential issue
is Brady's looming debut with Fox as the

75
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.639
network's number one analyst for NFL games. It's an obvious conflict of interest from

76
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.439
Brady will have an actual rooting interest
for the Raiders and against any team at

77
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.480
which they are competing. Coaches a
certain teams reasonably would and should bar him

78
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.360
for practice and or production meetings.
But it's Tom Brady tends to get what

79
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.839
he wants, except what it has
to do with their pressure of footballs or

80
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.439
the whereabouts of certain cell phones.
How do we feel about the owners refusing

81
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.639
to vote on Tom Brady's potential ten
percent ownership stake in the Raiders. I

82
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.319
think at some point they're going to
have to deal with this because there are

83
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:04.519
a lot of players who are growing
in financial resources and popularity, and those

84
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.879
players are going to want into the
ownership market. The only thing that's different

85
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.079
here is that Tom is scheduled to
broadcast for one of the league's broadcast partners,

86
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.519
and you could see it as somewhat
of being a way of being biased.

87
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.759
But there are ways around it,
like everything else. I mean,

88
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.240
if you say, oh, Tom
By gets a portion of the Raiders from

89
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.920
an ownership standpoint, you don't have
to do the Raiders freaking games. The

90
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.639
networks can determine that. Yeah.
So for me, it's not a big

91
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:39.399
deal. And I would love to
see Tom Brady being part of NFL ownership

92
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.399
because it opens doors for more players. Yeah, I would as well.

93
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.519
I think just ethically, you'd have
to make sure that you know lines are

94
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.160
crossed. That kind of stiff.
I think if you could come on,

95
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.639
man, Troy Aikman does a lot
of Cowboys games, You think that's by

96
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:55.879
coincidence? Well, no, but
he also doesn't own anything of the Cowboys.

97
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.959
There's not I mean he played for
them, and there's probably loyalty there,

98
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.439
but there's no incentive to I would
say financial incentive for him to do

99
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.519
anything. Well, why would Brady
somehow on the broadcast if he has the

100
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.319
Raiders? What is he going to
say to benefit the Raiders? Is not

101
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.879
going to change the wins and losses. I'm not saying it's saying on the

102
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.639
air. I'm saying it being a
lot of production meetings, seeing strategy ahead

103
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.240
of time. Like a lot of
those guys, that's what happens. You

104
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.240
go in there and the coach is
telling you what they're going to do that

105
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.519
week, can so you can be
prepared for it, to talk about it

106
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.319
on the game, you know,
talk about it on the air and all

107
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.720
that kind of stuff. Just don't
do Raiders games. Problem solved there,

108
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.199
It is okay, come with it. Four. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is

109
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.360
pushing for Pittsburgh to host the NFL
Draft s Barauer a letter of the NFL

110
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.639
Commissioner, saying that the Steel City
is an ideal location. Pittsburgh has quote

111
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.600
established itself one of those dynamic cities
on the East Coast, the birthplace of

112
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.920
professional football. It's the best choice
in the country to host the NFL Draft,

113
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.519
Shapiro said. The draft and surrounding
activities but have three hundred fifty thousand

114
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.199
visitors and an impact on the Pittsburgh
area economy or one hundred million dollars.

115
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.480
For half a century of the Draft
was always in New York City, and

116
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.600
although the event's stature grew as a
major television event, it was never seen

117
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.519
as a big deal as an in
person fan experience. But in twenty fifteen,

118
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.920
twenty sixteen, the draft moved to
Chicago and it was accompanied by a

119
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.959
major outdoor fan attraction, and since
it has been moved, viewed by both

120
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.160
the NFL and most of the cities, is a major tourism events. Since

121
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.480
taking place in Philadelphia, Dallas,
Nashville, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Kansas

122
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.639
City, this year's draft is going
to be in Detroit, which we gave

123
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.639
away an all expenses paid trip to
back on Saturday. Next year's is going

124
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.360
to be in Green Bay, which
is an interesting logistical choice there. I

125
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.120
know that Denver would like to host
the NFL Draft. What do we think

126
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.720
about the possibility of the NFL Draft
in Pittsburgh? What do we think about

127
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.559
the possibility the NFL Draft here in
Denver? Well? I like the fact

128
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.200
that they're moving the draft around.
It used to be Radio City Music Hall

129
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.600
in New York City. And why
not? Could Pittsburgh have the Super Bowl?

130
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.480
I mean that Super Bowl for the
NFL Draft. I mean Cleveland has

131
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.879
had it, Nashville has had it, Dallas, Philadelphia, and if it's

132
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.840
going to Green Bay, I mean, if you going to Green Bay,

133
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.279
you need to have it in Pittsburgh
because I don't know if you've been to

134
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.399
Green Bay, Yeah, there's not
a lot to do. If you want

135
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.000
to do something in green Bay,
you got to go to Milwaukee. Yeah.

136
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.639
Green Bay is such a small I've
worried logistically and I gonna have a

137
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.279
hotel rooms because more people go to
the draft than go to a game,

138
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.600
absolutely, you know, and a
lot of the game it's locals or whatever

139
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.159
else. Like you got unit people
coming from all over the country. In

140
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.080
Green Bay, it's not big and
they don't have a lot of hotels.

141
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.240
Well, you mentioned something about whether
the Denver would be able to hold the

142
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.519
draft. I asked Troy Vincent about
that, and he was he wasn't ready

143
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.600
to commit to it, but he
did say that it was a possibility.

144
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:50.240
And obviously there's enough space downtown at
the convention Center, and you got the

145
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.720
hotel, and I know the one
big argument was that living here in Denver,

146
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.039
you never know when the snow is
going to come. But still with

147
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.879
the hotels and proximity to the convention
Center to the east, they could make

148
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.480
it work. Yeah, it just
seems like an oprainer to ring it here.

149
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.440
To Ben at some point, so
I imagine that's going to happen probably

150
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.960
in the next ten years. It'll
be fun, fun experience. If you've

151
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.000
never been to the draft, like
I've been the one that they had in

152
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.919
Nashville and like they've never been to
a big time fun experience. It's it's

153
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.600
an all week party, it's a
it's it's a fun experience. Five before

154
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.759
Jerry Judy even attended a practice with
the Browns, he has received a new

155
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.919
contract. We talked about it earlier. Judy as agreed to a three year

156
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.679
contract extension worth up to fifty eight
million dollars forty one million guaranteed at signing,

157
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:39.759
according to multiple reports, a first
round a first round pick. Obviously

158
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.720
back in twenty twenty, Judy was
slated to become an unrestricted free agent next

159
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.679
March after completing his rookie contract.
Now he's going to be tied to Cleveland

160
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.679
through twenty twenty seven. Judy twenty
four years old, as two hundred and

161
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.320
eleven career receptions for three thousand and
fifty three yards eleven touchdown in Judy seven

162
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.240
games. While he's battle through injuries, it's on the field for sixteen games

163
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.720
that the Broncos last year and he's
the season with fifty four catches seven to

164
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.519
fifty eight yards to touchdowns. Best
year obviously twenty twenty two sixty seven catches

165
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.799
nine to seventy two sixty d's it
was the top receiver of Maury Cooper is

166
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.360
sitting the last year his contract tied
in. David and Jigoku is under contract

167
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.159
through twenty twenty five. Brown set
the Broncos a fifth and sixth round pick

168
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.759
in twenty twenty four to acquire Judy
earlier this month. I think we know

169
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.960
your your feelings on this. But
before we go any further into Jerry Judy's

170
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.320
contract, right after we got done
with a Justin Sternad story, he has

171
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.279
had a change of hearts reversed,
keep right back to the Broncos. Yes,

172
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.399
so if you listen to the NFL
six fact, the Justin Sternad stuff

173
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.759
I just talked about scratch all that
he's coming back to Denver. Does it

174
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.879
was a tract? Right? Yes, he's coming back to Denver. It

175
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:45.600
makes you wonder with him just only
moments away from aching to deal, what

176
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.960
made him come back? Now?
Maybe they told him that you're going to

177
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.799
have an opportunity to compete for a
starting job. I don't know that,

178
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.559
but maybe it was money, because
money has a way of changing people's minds.

179
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.200
So maybe that was the case of
having Justice Ernard back in the building.

180
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.600
But in the case of Jerry Judy, hey great for him. We

181
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.120
just have to watch and see if
it all pans out. And if Andrew

182
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.559
Berry, Uh, with the decisions
that he's made with Deshaun Watson's contract and

183
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.039
Jerry Judy's contract, is he going
to come out on the bright side of

184
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.360
this. If not, the people
in Cleveland, they're gonna come out with

185
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.200
their pitchforks and they're taking torches,
and he's gonna be out of the job.

186
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.559
So we get a chance to see
what or how it all plays out.

187
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.600
Yeah. I As far as the
uh Sternod thing, I mean,

188
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.720
we've seen a few guys change their
minds, Eric Kendricks, there have been

189
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:41.159
a couple of people change their minds, Will Lutz, Will LUTs That's two

190
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.559
different people that if we're going to
go somewhere else to the Broncos and elected

191
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.120
to come back with a change of
heart. So kind of interesting to see

192
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.159
that a little bit. As far
as the Jerry Judy thing that it's mine

193
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.600
of the opinion that getting at the
Browns gave him too much money. I'm

194
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.200
not mad at Jerry Judy for it. I love the fact the player secured

195
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.840
the bag. I'm always gonna root
for that from the But if I put

196
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.559
my GM hat on for a second, like what the world of the Browns

197
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.120
doing paying that much money to a
guy who's gonna be at least the fourth

198
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.279
option in that offense? They must
have seen something in Jerry Judy when he

199
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.919
first came out of Alabama to what
they wanted in limited production here with the

200
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.600
Denver Broncos and say, well,
we could actually turn Jerry lou was supposed

201
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.120
to what he was before. So
maybe that's to frame them on I'm not

202
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.879
sure. Yeah, I mean this, this situation is fascinating to me,

203
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.240
sick as is the other one.
I want to talk about here. How

204
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.679
much is Jimmy Garoppolo getting from the
Rams because nobody knows. Four days ago

205
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.039
reports emerged the quarterback Jimmy Ggaropolo is
going to sign with the Rams. Today,

206
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.679
the Rams officially announced the move.
He had his intro press conference,

207
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.840
and there's no disclosure from any guind
from anybody he as to what he's gonna

208
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.320
make with the Rams. Six years
ago, Garoppolo was briefly the highest paid

209
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.159
player at NFL history, through a
five year deal that average twenty seven and

210
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:58.039
a half million per year. Now, whatever he's getting isn't worth his isn't

211
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.000
worth his agent, don yee leaky, it's anybody. General thumb is the

212
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.519
numbers don't emerge, they're not worth
writing home about. And it's been four

213
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.320
days for Garoppolo inevidently will see him
between his PD policy suspension to start the

214
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.960
season, in the fact he hasn't
played at high level little While I would

215
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.720
expect it to be impressive, do
we care that Jimmy Garoppol's numbers aren't out

216
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.080
there yet? Now, we don't
really care because at this point, how

217
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:24.639
much do you anticipate Jimmy Garoppolo actually
playing this year? Now, if you

218
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.440
look at the depth chart, Stephan
Bennett is still listed on the depth chart.

219
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.159
What is this situation with the club? I mean that's still ongoing.

220
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.120
We still really don't know. But
because Jimmy's played in a similar system under

221
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.039
Kyle Shenhan, it boes well for
Sean McVeigh to have a backup quarterback in

222
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.039
waiting who has Super Bowl experience,
Jippy Garoppolo. Obviously, we missed the

223
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.159
first two games of the season,
which is going to for ped suspension,

224
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.600
which is going to create a situation
where they're going to have to find a

225
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.759
quarterback for those two games. So
it'll be interesting to kind of see what

226
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.720
goes on with those situations. Yeah, Justin Sterrenaud coming back to Denver after

227
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:09.720
initially orally agreeing at least to a
deal with the Carolina Panthers to go join

228
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.120
a Gerald verro who you know he
coached. But that's it. That's fascinating

229
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.039
to me. That's the second time
we've seen a player turn around and come

230
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.600
back to come back to Denver.
One year deal for him here. It

231
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:30.879
makes you wonder within these negotiations what's
being said, because obviously you have to

232
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.279
figure that Stannard had already had talks
with the team through his agent, and

233
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.000
the team might have decided, Okay, well maybe we're going to go in

234
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.480
a different direction because you want too
much money. But what was it in

235
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:50.399
that twenty fifth hour that force or
convinced the Broncos to go back after Strenaud

236
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.159
and convince him to come back.
I don't know. I'm interested to see

237
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.679
that if it's you know, I
mean, obviously, if Errol is a

238
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.039
guy who coached him twice for for
you know, for coach him for that

239
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.519
season that he was here, I
mean, you know, obviously the Panthers

240
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.399
made it an effort to well.
But I guess I guess he likes it

241
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:08.679
here. I guess there's a loyalty
to the team that drafted you, and

242
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.360
you know, maybe Sean Payton convinces
him come back. See see, that's

243
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.240
that's like player in coach speed,
I'm loyal to the team that draft me.

244
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.000
Let's be totally honest. We know
what talks and we know what walks

245
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.679
in marathon. So I'm thinking there
had to be something like that to convince

246
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.799
him to change his mind. Because
if you look on a Carolina Panthers depth

247
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.919
chart, he's on the depth chart. Yeah, right, as a free

248
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.919
agent. Now, maybe they offered
him a life supply of riz. You

249
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.559
know, I don't know, maybe
they stood outside and played players. Maybe

250
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.559
come back. I don't know.
Great, looks like you wanted to say

251
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.519
something. Well, we'll find out
what that is. On the other side,

252
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.200
Rocos Country tonight. Welcome back to
it, Broncos Country Tonight. Benjamin

253
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.159
Albrighten, Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith
here with you. Hope you guys have

254
00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:00.240
a good night tonight. I have
some fun here. Dave Tepper lurking around

255
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.080
there. I see him somewhere.
He was in here a minute ago.

256
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.680
CSU doubled up Virginia early on playing
game. Did you see this kind of

257
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:14.440
taking place? I have money on
CSU, so I mean to cover the

258
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.960
spread or just overall, like win
to win? Wow? Okay, yeah,

259
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.039
I had money on CSU to win. Well I didn't. I didn't.

260
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.160
In the interest of full disclosure,
be yes, see you after that

261
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.039
game has got a tough road to
ho because you get Florida and you know

262
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.839
Marquette. I think you know waiting. But man, the idea of the

263
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.039
tournament is you just win the first
one, right, you survive in advance,

264
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.920
and you can't look at the bracket
and how it sets up and try

265
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.480
to anticipate what's going to happen.
You have to be in that particular moment

266
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.799
because just think about it. I
mean, you play all season long to

267
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.440
get into the tournament, and for
certain schools when you think about CU and

268
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:03.880
CSU. How long it's been since
they appeared. I think twenty twenty one

269
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:10.440
for one school, and think twenty
twenty twenty twenty for another. But you're

270
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.599
in this moment and the only thing
you can think about is what you're going

271
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:19.640
to need to do to help your
team advance. Because we've seen some of

272
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.160
the looks on the players faces over
the years, that look of where you

273
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.319
distraught and guys on the floor crying
and all that. To me, if

274
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.720
you want to make sure that you
prevent that, you have to go out

275
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.440
there and you have to play your
best game in that moment. Don't worry

276
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.400
about what's around the corner of who
that next opponent is. What though you

277
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.640
call look ahead and I mean,
it's just like in the league, you

278
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.839
know, I mean, the last
thing you want to do is be looking

279
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.319
ahead, miss what's right in front
of you, you know, And I

280
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.759
think you know, I mean,
sees you looks like they're going to pull

281
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.079
this out, barring up a late
collapse. But if you're Colorado, that's

282
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.960
how you have to look at it. You gotta handle business against Pois and

283
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.960
not worry about the fact that you've
got Florida and Marquette looming. But see

284
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.079
Ben, that's the greatest thing about
And we asked Mark Johnson about this when

285
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.680
he was on Early earlier, is
these are the things that we love about

286
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.680
March Madness because you may see a
team in the first half that looks like

287
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.799
they're gonna run over the game and
they have a big lead, and then

288
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.160
all of a sudden, they relax, they get comfortable, the other team

289
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.799
started knocking down some outside shots,
they get to the free throw line,

290
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.759
they get the other team in foul
in trouble. Next thing you know,

291
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.400
now we're waiting for that buzzer beater, because that's what March Maddness says.

292
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.799
To me. It's about those buzzer
beaters because at the end of this we

293
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.880
always see the one shiny moment.
You can call it cheeky or whatever,

294
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.559
but it's all filled with big shots
and big moments. Yeah, in this

295
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.759
particular game here, I think CSU
doesn't really I don't think it's gonna come

296
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.759
down to a buzzer beater in this
one. They are actually beating the breaks

297
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.960
Offvirginia right now. But I do
I think there's going to It takes hard

298
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.119
work, and preparation and all that
kind of stuff. But there's an element

299
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.039
of luck and a component of that. And I know some coaches will say,

300
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.359
well, luck is just preparation and
opportunity, But at the same time,

301
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.480
I mean there's an element of that
too, having the ball at the

302
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.079
last second, being able to take
that shot. How many times out of

303
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.880
one hundred is Kyrie hit that shot
over Yokic, Oh, one hundred times?

304
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.759
Maybe maybe twenty, like five.
I'm only going to give him twenty

305
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.799
because he's Kyrie and he's made big
shots like that. Right. Well,

306
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:38.359
in the tournament, there's always some
unsuspected team, some unsuspecting player who hits

307
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.279
that game winning shot because no one
thinks that he's going to make the shot.

308
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.079
So guess what, they don't even
guard him. Yeah, and that's

309
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:51.880
the guy who you know puts that
dagger in your coffin. Yeah, I'm

310
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.920
you know, I'm I'm hoping to
see you can make it. If they

311
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.039
win tomorrow And by the way,
we'll have exclusive coverage here starting at six

312
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:03.000
point thirty tomorrow night to off just
after seven. If they win tomorrow night,

313
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.440
they'll play Friday as well right here
on KOA. So look, you

314
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.880
know, hoping to see you Buffs
men's basketball do. We're also gonna have

315
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:14.680
the CEU Buffs women's game Friday as
well, so if you're if you're looking

316
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.119
forward to that, that will be
right here on KOA as well. We

317
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.279
talked a little bit throughout the show. We talked to Ryan Michael. You

318
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.799
guys can get that at Broncos Country
Tonight dot com, Slash Podcast, talk

319
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.400
to Mark Johnson, get that same
place, you know, wherever you get

320
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:34.400
your podcasts. We have. I
have one of the things here. We

321
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:41.480
wanted to talk about how one college
coach is hurting the game. One college

322
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.480
coach is hurting the game of football. And I got to ask you at

323
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.480
the annual meeting of the Knicks,
how do you not tell coach Saban you're

324
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.680
ruining football? Well, I mean
coach Saban's been coaching for a while,

325
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.839
so he comes with a lot of
clout right and wait behind him. And

326
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.200
sometimes the individuals like that, I
mean, they've been doing things so long

327
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.599
the way they've been doing that,
they may not be open to hear input

328
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.759
from other people. Why do you
think that he is hurting the game?

329
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.720
He DROs Nician, He's Dros's nician. I mean, he's out there with

330
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.519
Ted Cruz, right, and I'm
not saying that these are congressional hearings,

331
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:29.680
but he's going through political individuals and
he's talking about Nils and how Nil's is

332
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:36.400
hurting basketball, and he's talking about
how he remembers those days Alabama sitting in

333
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.799
his living room or dining with the
players and their families and talking about the

334
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.400
players' futures. And he's say,
well, college football has changed because as

335
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.440
soon as you talk to a player, they want to know how much money

336
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.759
you're going to give them. And
I just thought that was so wrong of

337
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.039
him to now try to put these
players on blast. Now, don't get

338
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.319
me wrong, there needs to be
a system in place to make sure that

339
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.799
things don't get out of hand,
because they're a little out of hand.

340
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.559
But I'm just like, well,
where was this before. I mean,

341
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.319
when you were dominating college football LSU
Alabama and you were making a significant amount

342
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.480
of money, you were not talking
about how players there needs to be balanced

343
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.240
in landscape of college football. I
mean, you were taking whatever money that

344
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:27.000
you were receiving from the institution,
whatever car dealership that your name was attached

345
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:32.319
to, in Alabama, you were
making money hand over this. But now

346
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:38.240
with nil since has been introduced,
now it's balanced the playfield. Those players

347
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:42.200
that you were able to get before
you now have to compete with Michigan,

348
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:48.079
Wisconsin and other schools. So now
you're trying to somewhat stifle some of these

349
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.640
kids from getting this paper that you've
been getting for so many years. Yeah,

350
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.599
I think, I mean, I
don't wrong. I think Nick Scament

351
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.079
has some points, but I think
the game in the sense that how you

352
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:03.759
recruit Snick saban By with the nil
he just didn't know how to do it

353
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.440
anymore. He knew how to go
in and charming the pants off a family,

354
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.920
and you know, he comeing to
Alabama. You future all that kind

355
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.559
of stuff. But the playing field
has changed, and it is a dollar

356
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:19.680
amount and it is about collectives and
those are a large portion of the process.

357
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.400
Now we had the kid was a
kid I think it was Iowa State

358
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.640
who showed up, took the N
nil deal and immediately hit the transfer portal.

359
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:30.440
And there's no recourse for getting that
money back. By the way,

360
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.240
when the nil money is paid out
that you don't get it back. And

361
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.000
this isn't the first time we've had
a kid down in Miami who racked up

362
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.000
what was it like, a twelve
million dollars, never played, a never

363
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.279
player, a snap for anybody,
just milking the milking the nil stuff and

364
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.960
then bouncing into the portal to try
to get the next bag. There's a

365
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.279
few bad actors when it comes to
that, But I think Nick Saban doesn't

366
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:56.319
understand the evolved landscape. Just putting
my feet up right now, yeah,

367
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:57.880
I mean, just just make yourself
at home, damn, oh do don't

368
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:00.960
worry. I am. Yeah,
But when you think about it, it's

369
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.599
just like, well, how is
it okay? Smell like corn chips in

370
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:15.839
here? Yeah, it smell like
but I don't know. Yeah, if

371
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:21.759
you're saying, timmy here figures smells
like corn chips. I don't want that

372
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.160
to perfume cologne, don't want it. It doesn't smell bad in here.

373
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.279
As the person with his feet off, well off, they're on your shoes

374
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.240
off, but your feet are on
the table. I'm just I'm listened.

375
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.519
What I would be doing to Nick
Saban and this pitch, I'd be taking

376
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.240
my shoes off. See what he
said. He would tell you, hey,

377
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.599
hey, hey, son, put
your feedback and shoes, yes,

378
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.640
so put a suit on and a
tie yes, yeah. Well, let's

379
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.359
be totally honest man about this situation
with Nick Saban. Saban has made a

380
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.960
substansful amount of money both on the
field and off the field. And my

381
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.799
ideas, why come after the players
now now that you have somewhat taken taken

382
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.559
up retirement. Now this is the
thing that you want to take up.

383
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.079
Now, this is your plight.
Now now you are the post to chow

384
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.599
for doing these types of things.
I think I don't think he's trying to

385
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.599
do that. I think that's an
invert consequence of what he's doing. I

386
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.839
think Nick Saban is trying to explain
that the way that there does need to

387
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.279
be regulation on the NIL. But
why you go to Ted Cruz then,

388
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.559
well, I mean that's that's who's
holding these hearings. And Ted Cruz famously

389
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:41.039
represents what state m interesting Texas and
where are the two largest Nile collectives Texas,

390
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:48.759
Texas? Once again, they no
longer impact Nick Saban because he's not

391
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.799
coaching. Well, I mean,
he still has an affiliation with Alabama and

392
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.400
I think that he wants, you
know, wants them to succeed. Okay,

393
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.200
but think about it, Oh,
so Bama, you gotta think they

394
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:03.839
have a large collective dowry that they
can shove up money for Nio. So

395
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.720
he was good. Is it just
fact that you don't know how to communicate

396
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.799
with players now where you can walk
into the living room and you just can't

397
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.480
put your rings down and guys go
for that. I think so. I

398
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.440
think he didn't know how to adapt. And where I think Deon Sanders has

399
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.480
an advantage is that he understands the
evolved landscape. He knows that you create

400
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.920
a culture in an environment and it
is about the dollars and cents, and

401
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.599
it is about the exposure and all
that kind of stuff. And so I

402
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.279
think that he has a built in
advantage when it comes to that. So

403
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.240
much of being a head coach in
college football now is being a recruiter.

404
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.440
You got a recruit out of the
portal. I mean, some of these

405
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.880
guys don't even recruit high school anymore. You know why bother let him go

406
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.480
to a juco or let him go
to a G five school and then you

407
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:48.480
can go get your pick out of
the portal. Say hey, look,

408
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:55.720
you tired of playing it Wyoming,
Come come play for Alabama. See there

409
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.720
needs to be regulations in Io.
And what I suggested, or is my

410
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.759
plan as far as me trying to
make it sense, make it make sense,

411
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.039
is that if a guy gets a
substants amount of money through the school,

412
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.960
it's like, okay, well we're
gonna hold this money for you until

413
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:18.480
you decide that you want to leave
to I don't know, pursue other things

414
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.039
or go turn pro, whether that's
basketball, baseball, what have you.

415
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:25.440
But we're going to keep that in
somewhat of a trust. In order to

416
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.079
get the money out, you have
to make sure that you are in good

417
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:33.200
standings academically, or we're not going
to give you the money. I yeah,

418
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:33.960
I think that there are ways to
do this, and I think that's

419
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.240
what Nick Saban is trying to do, is help evolve what has become a

420
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:42.200
wild West cash grab free for all
into something that's a sustainable model going forward.

421
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.960
I don't I don't have the assumption
that Nick Saban is out here but

422
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:51.720
drysiness I think he's I think he's
doing that on accident. I don't know,

423
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.359
how can you once again, you
said, like my kids, maybe

424
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.559
one hundred and fifty million over his
career, Nick Saban do need the money?

425
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.400
He's out. I think he's in
it for you know. I think

426
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.799
he's try to try to build the
legacy. At this point, he can't

427
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.000
see you have a buy a stick. He's an SEC head coach. No,

428
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.480
no, hell no, no it's
not. It's not because he's an

429
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.119
SEC head coach. It's because he's
a coach that made us who stance of

430
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.279
the amount of money. Hey,
like you said, he doesn't. He

431
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.440
doesn't really need the money now,
So why is he choosing now to stand

432
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.680
on his soapbox. I think he's
trying to answer it the best way he

433
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.920
knows how. I just think he's
his views are a bit dated, and

434
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:30.759
I don't think he knew how to
adapt. I think it's part of the

435
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.000
reason he quit. I think he
had a couple of years left in him.

436
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.200
But I think that he just did
not know how to adapt. He

437
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.839
saw, he saw the changing landscape
and just didn't understand. It's like,

438
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:44.440
and I agree with that, I'm
gonna try to send huh. I think

439
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.680
that it's like the scene from No
Country for Old Men, great movie at

440
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.559
the end of the movie where Tommy
Lee Jones just kind of realizes that the

441
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:55.079
whole thing is the world just passed
him by, you know, like he

442
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.319
just he cannot understand the mechanisms of
Anton Sigour, Like he just can't.

443
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.559
He can't. And I think that
Nick Saban is just kind of in that

444
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.839
same It's a smart guy. He
you know, its great football minds,

445
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:11.279
but head coaches in college football anymore
aren't even coaching. They're recruiters. We

446
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.839
see. That's once again Nick Saban's
problem and his deal that he could do

447
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:21.319
it if you realize that you can't
do something like they like it's been said

448
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:26.400
those who can't do teach, so
go sign up to be a part of

449
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.880
a network show. Is something like
that. Don't take your agreemances with the

450
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:37.599
process and then start to make waves
when you were making a substantial amount of

451
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.119
money. That is just that's my
deal with him. Yeah, I get

452
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.160
it, and it looks hypocritical.
I get it. I think he thinks

453
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.079
that what he's doing is trying to
do the best way he knows how whether

454
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:48.799
why I agree with it or not. And I don't exactly agree with all

455
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.039
his points, and I do think
it's a bit hypocritical. For a guy

456
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:55.000
who made one hundred and fifty million, well one hundred and twenty five million

457
00:30:55.039 --> 00:31:00.680
off Alabama, but you know who
made over one hundred million dollars to be

458
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.319
sitting there trying to create barriers to
players trying to get money. It would

459
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:11.880
have been better if Saban came out
with some possible solutions. Here's what we

460
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:19.680
can do right to remedy the ongoing
issues that Nils have opened up. But

461
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:23.640
that's not what he chose to do. He chose to say, okay,

462
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:29.680
well, as he was he was
doing in the past, the building of

463
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.680
men right to the molding of men
and how that was his angle. And

464
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:41.000
now the way that things are structured, it's a free fraw and the players

465
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.680
are not being developed. But don't
you think for a control freak like Nick

466
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.119
Saban, that's the frightening thing.
Like the someone Force says, you could

467
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:49.720
argue Saban is now in the best
spot the voice and opinion. He's no

468
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.200
longer coaching. It's not going to
benefit from this. This listener would have

469
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.759
a bigger issue if he was still
coaching. Well, here's where Nick Saban

470
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.759
stands to benefit. He now has
a poolpit. He now has an audience

471
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.359
and people want to hear what he
has to say because he is fresh out

472
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:14.480
of the game talking about something that
a lot of college coaches are definitely dealing

473
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.880
with. Once again, if Saban
came up with solutions, here's what we

474
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:23.359
need to do. We need to
form somewhat of a committee, somewhat of

475
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:30.400
a union, an oversight committee to
look over these situations and ensure that hey,

476
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.039
listen, says, we are entering
into a contract and there is a

477
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:38.880
collective like every single contract that is
signed, then now are we going to

478
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:43.440
renew it every single year? And
if you jump into portal, how many

479
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.920
times can you jump into portal in
one given year? If he did that,

480
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:49.640
now I'm right there with him.
But that's not what he did,

481
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:52.359
I know, and I think that
I believe he would come around to that.

482
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.640
But I think that Nick Saban right
now is just trying to It feels

483
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.400
to me like he's expressing I don't
know how to compete aymore. That's what

484
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.759
it feels like when you watch this
stuff. It feels like you have a

485
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:05.960
guy saying, hey, I was
the top dog in college football and it's

486
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:07.880
changed it. I don't know.
I don't know how to navigate it.

487
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:12.640
And that's what it feels like that
he's saying. I think that there's there

488
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.599
are people catching strays. I think
the players are catching strays a lot of

489
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.680
right, because you know the way
that he's doing it. I mean,

490
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.640
I don't know. I think that
there needs to be reforming oversight on the

491
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.680
Nile stuff. I just don't know
where to start because the problem is is

492
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.079
that what's the dam broke on that
thing? It broke all the way.

493
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:34.000
Well, see that was because the
NCAA refused to take a look at the

494
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:39.599
inadequacies when it came to college basketball, football, women's because you got to

495
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.680
include women's sports due to Title nine. They were unwilling to look at it

496
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.759
as long as they were making money. That's the only thing that matters,

497
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:51.640
specially to think about. You know, all the years of March Madness,

498
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.480
as many of these games that are
shown on different networks CBS, T and

499
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.799
T TBS, and all the money
that those networks are making in the coaches,

500
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.319
but the players receive none of that. You get a trip to wherever

501
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:12.360
you're going and maybe a little cash
or sweatsuit. No, put some money

502
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.480
in those players' pockets, and it
definitely needs to be regulated to a point

503
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:20.719
where you can determine how much East
player is going to make outside of brokering

504
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:25.320
deals lucrative deals from other outside sources. Yeah, in the NCAA is such

505
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:30.239
an inteffectual enforcement organization on top of
it, I do think there's gonna have

506
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.199
to be some major overalls and oversights. I do agree with you though Nick

507
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.239
Saban was probably not the right voice
to the right Tom Froucice country like k
