The Broncos keep winning, but can they keep this up? Tom Green, Ron Zappolo, and Woody Paige debate Sean Payton’s love affair with screen passes, Bo Nix’s uneven play, and whether Denver’s offense can handle what’s coming next — especially with Kansas City looming. Then the conversation turns to baseball, where Game 7 of the World Series delivers an instant classic, and the Rockies’ ownership once again delivers disappointment. Woody, Ron, and Tom unload on Dick Monfort’s leadership, the GM search, and what it would take for Denver to finally become a great baseball town.
Denver’s first-place Broncos are stacking wins, but style points are still hard to find. On this episode of After the Horn, Tom, Ron, and Woody break down Bo Nix’s struggles, Sean Payton’s conservative play-calling, and what needs to change before the Chiefs come to town. The crew also dives deep into Game 7 of the World Series — from Yamamoto’s gutsy performance to Dave Roberts’ lucky buttons — before tearing into the Rockies’ never-ending dysfunction. From Dick Monfort’s ownership to the front office revolving door, it’s a full-on reality check for Colorado baseball fans. They wrap with “It’s Your Move,” comparing the Dodgers’ back-to-back titles to the Yankees’ three-peat and trading classic stories about Derek Jeter, Don Baylor, and Denver’s sports legacy.
00;00;00;00 - 00;00;40;03
Tom Green
Your first place. Denver Broncos continue to hammer opponent after opponent, rendering them defenseless. We'll keep an eye on what happens on a short week as they get ready for the Raiders, and most every Major League Baseball team will send a general manager to the GM meetings. Most every team has a general manager.
00;00;40;05 - 00;00;50;21
Ron Zappolo
You know, it's hard to follow that up. The way he sets us up. But we're back. Maybe not by popular demand, but we are back. Ron Cipolla, Woody Page, Tom green after the horn.
00;00;50;28 - 00;00;55;04
Woody Paige
Ron, here's the problem we have. We use all our good stuff when we were just.
00;00;55;04 - 00;00;57;27
Tom Green
Sitting around bullshitting. Exactly right. Woody.
00;00;57;29 - 00;00;59;18
Ron Zappolo
We're funny when we're bullshitting.
00;00;59;18 - 00;01;19;10
Tom Green
Not all of our good stuff. Oh, so the Broncos scratch out another win. They end up beating a second team quarterback. And, you know, they were missing key players as well. Especially Pat's are ten. And they did find a way to win. But they've yet to find that beautiful game against a good team. And Houston was a pretty good team.
00;01;19;10 - 00;01;22;28
Ron Zappolo
They saw well up up right up until city. Yeah.
00;01;23;00 - 00;01;24;17
Tom Green
Yeah. Until then.
00;01;24;20 - 00;01;52;26
Woody Paige
Yeah. Because you're the one to talk about. You know, one of you said last week, well, you know, they were not considered very good, but they're coming out, I think. Yeah. Tom, actually, I'm watching the game and I go, yes, Sean Payton leads the world, leads the world, leads all time NFL world in screen passes. And I went, what is it with him the week before against Dallas they were actually throwing the football down the field.
00;01;53;01 - 00;02;18;09
Woody Paige
But he is so in love. He must have 87 on that big cardboard poster he holds holds 87 different screen passes. I can't just get over that. When we were here 3 or 4 weeks ago, I said, I'm not convinced yet. I remember saying that because I, I'm watching a play caller who the game is kind of passed by, and I said that to.
00;02;18;09 - 00;02;26;25
Tom Green
You, but the screen pass is supposed to be an easy throw for a quarterback. And I'll tell you what, Bo Nix didn't have many easy throws when that game hit. The fourth quarter.
00;02;26;27 - 00;02;28;04
Ron Zappolo
Didn't have many good throws.
00;02;28;04 - 00;02;33;18
Tom Green
Well, that's what I mean. It everything looked like it was hard for him. His feet, his hands.
00;02;33;18 - 00;02;54;25
Ron Zappolo
Stunted, how inaccurate he was. And I know Houston's got a good defense this the way the the Broncos have beaten one team with a winning record. Right Philadelphia I don't believe the way that they are playing is sustainable. When the level of competition will get better and it will get better.
00;02;54;26 - 00;02;55;14
Tom Green
Not this week.
00;02;55;14 - 00;03;19;07
Ron Zappolo
It was not this week. This week will be a scrimmage, but after this week you're going to get the Kansas City Chiefs Andy Reid after a bye, which the Chiefs will be on this week is an all time record 21 and four. You better be ready to up your game because you cannot, as Woody says, throw screen passes, not run the ball enough and expect to wake up in the fourth quarter and be in the game.
00;03;19;07 - 00;03;29;13
Ron Zappolo
You can do that against the Giants. You can do it against the Jets. You can do it against Davis Mills. But you're not going to do that against Patrick Mahomes or Justin Herbert.
00;03;29;16 - 00;03;37;03
Woody Paige
I look at that schedule and I go, this reminds me of a Nebraska schedule, right? No covered schedule that they've been so fortunate.
00;03;37;04 - 00;03;41;16
Ron Zappolo
And get this play got easier because Jayden Daniels got hurt the other day.
00;03;41;16 - 00;03;51;25
Tom Green
Yes. It's hard now to look at that schedule and not see them winning 12 or 13 games. They their toughest games will be in the AFC West. And green Bay is going to be tough there. But we also saw the.
00;03;51;25 - 00;03;52;21
Ron Zappolo
Can I give you a.
00;03;52;21 - 00;03;53;06
Tom Green
Pick one up?
00;03;53;06 - 00;04;03;27
Ron Zappolo
I think you're right. You can't predict the NFL. It's unpredictable. Let's say they do win 12 or 13 games. And let's say that they do win the division, which I think is possible.
00;04;03;27 - 00;04;04;09
Tom Green
Within their.
00;04;04;09 - 00;04;27;19
Ron Zappolo
Reach. I'm just going to say that in this bizarre year of the NFL, you might be better off being a wild card team and going to Indianapolis or Pittsburgh or New England. Then you might be winning your division and having a home playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills.
00;04;27;22 - 00;04;30;09
Woody Paige
That well, we used the word bullshit earlier, and that's.
00;04;30;09 - 00;04;30;24
Tom Green
Where.
00;04;30;26 - 00;04;45;02
Woody Paige
I'm going to use it in a different way right now. What you're saying is bullshit. Okay, well, I don't want you to win. Do I win the division? I know I want you to be a wild card. You know, it have to go where? It's 15 degrees below zero.
00;04;45;03 - 00;04;47;21
Tom Green
These media guys always twist your words.
00;04;47;23 - 00;04;48;14
Tom Green
You believe.
00;04;48;16 - 00;04;49;22
Ron Zappolo
These media?
00;04;49;25 - 00;04;52;11
Woody Paige
I don't get that at all. How you know.
00;04;52;16 - 00;04;52;23
Ron Zappolo
What.
00;04;52;23 - 00;05;01;20
Woody Paige
You want to do is you just keep beating up on the Raiders, and you win at home against the Chiefs. You commanders are now in a bad way. But you.
00;05;01;20 - 00;05;12;23
Ron Zappolo
Know. So he should win at home against the Chiefs. Like it's no big deal. You just win at home against Detroit because they killed him last year so much against the Chiefs the last ten years. Of course they'll beat the Chiefs.
00;05;13;00 - 00;05;18;08
Woody Paige
That's they will not beat the Chiefs if they throw those 33 screen pass.
00;05;18;09 - 00;05;35;29
Ron Zappolo
I got news for you my friend. They're not going to beat the Chiefs if they do all the right things. But after what I watched the Bronco game I watched the Chiefs and the bills, which you guys probably did too. Tell me you didn't feel like that. The level of play in that game was on a different level.
00;05;35;29 - 00;05;56;11
Tom Green
You see two things. One is you see quarterbacks who are comfortable even when the world around them is falling apart. Those two guys are just head up, looking around, making decisions, making plays. Their feet aren't all over the place. Two is if you if we're jumping over the Raiders to Kansas City, the Chiefs aren't going to be kicking five field goals.
00;05;56;13 - 00;05;57;01
Ron Zappolo
Well they're not.
00;05;57;03 - 00;06;02;29
Tom Green
So you know you're going to have you're going to have to deal with with more pressure put on your offense by thereof.
00;06;03;01 - 00;06;07;29
Ron Zappolo
Bo Nix has got to raise the level of his game.
00;06;08;02 - 00;06;08;10
Woody Paige
Yes.
00;06;08;10 - 00;06;11;04
Speaker 5
He just needs to play the whole game like he does in the fourth quarter.
00;06;11;05 - 00;06;13;25
Tom Green
Right? He needs a different alarm clock.
00;06;13;27 - 00;06;18;00
Speaker 5
I meant him, please. You still played well. It was just a little too late.
00;06;18;00 - 00;06;21;14
Woody Paige
Not old enough to remember this, but Dan Reeves did that to John Elway.
00;06;21;14 - 00;06;22;11
Ron Zappolo
For sure.
00;06;22;13 - 00;06;24;03
Woody Paige
That he'd play a conservative game.
00;06;24;03 - 00;06;24;16
Ron Zappolo
Until the.
00;06;24;16 - 00;06;33;24
Woody Paige
Fourth. And then he'd say to John, now turn it on in the fourth quarter. That's why John led the world in comeback victories, because he actually could,
00;06;33;27 - 00;06;47;24
Tom Green
I see the I see the parallel. But I will say this, Bo Nix had plays to make in the first three quarters of the game. He just missed guys. He missed plays. He missed throws that could have made that game a cruiser. When you're playing Davis Mills surprises.
00;06;47;24 - 00;07;01;29
Woody Paige
Me because he was, what? Maybe that helped me out somebody the most accurate percentage of passing when he was at Oregon.
00;07;01;29 - 00;07;04;15
Ron Zappolo
Yeah, but I don't think that matters, Woody, because we know one thing.
00;07;04;16 - 00;07;05;15
Woody Paige
And also was short pass.
00;07;05;17 - 00;07;27;25
Ron Zappolo
Covering a lot of, college and pro football in college football. And you know this better than anybody. Everybody's running wide open. Yeah, it's not that hard in pro football. I remember Elway telling me this many times in pro and college football they're open like that in the NFL. That means you're open and you've got to fit the ball into that window.
00;07;28;02 - 00;07;39;29
Woody Paige
I'm really impressed with what Brian saying that he had those conversations with John because he did the John Elway show. I did it one year, channel seven. But John would say to me, you think we ought to get another beer?
00;07;40;01 - 00;07;45;29
Ron Zappolo
Well, I didn't say that was the only thing John said to me. You said many things over the years, but that was one of them.
00;07;45;29 - 00;08;11;19
Tom Green
So that was really exciting. Unfortunately for Bronco fans who had to sweat that one out, what was really exciting this weekend, though, was game seven of the World Series. The baseball of the entire series. Incredible was tremendous. Game seven, certainly goes into the argument as not only the greatest game seven maybe in baseball history. In any sport, it was every pitch mattered, and you had to be dialed in on every pitch, every play, and both teams played great.
00;08;11;19 - 00;08;28;13
Ron Zappolo
You know what I also loved about it? Baseball, unlike any other game, lends itself to us sitting there and second guessing every move that a manager makes. And I got to tell you, I don't think Dave Roberts is a great manager. I think he's a great base stealer. Thank God.
00;08;28;13 - 00;08;29;07
Tom Green
For him.
00;08;29;10 - 00;08;36;16
Ron Zappolo
But, he everything he did in these last two games worked out.
00;08;36;21 - 00;08;39;22
Tom Green
Yeah. You push a button, you player needs to still do it.
00;08;39;22 - 00;08;50;19
Ron Zappolo
Deliver. I mean, when you throw Andy packages in there and like two minutes later, he's climbing over Kiki Hernandez to save the World Series. If things work out.
00;08;50;21 - 00;08;51;04
Tom Green
Well, you.
00;08;51;07 - 00;09;02;11
Woody Paige
You just wonder in that situation, if he hadn't inserted a new outfielder and they run into each other, which is basically what happened. We're talking about inside the park home.
00;09;02;11 - 00;09;03;21
Tom Green
Run, right? Right.
00;09;03;24 - 00;09;16;16
Ron Zappolo
But I have a couple of questions about the game that I haven't figured out yet. And you guys can can help me here. When Toronto puts, I kick off and there is a pinch runner in the bottom of the ninth inning of game seven.
00;09;16;16 - 00;09;17;12
Tom Green
Maybe to be aggressive.
00;09;17;15 - 00;09;37;09
Ron Zappolo
Maybe it'll be aggressive and he gets to third with one out. And it is a ground ball to second. And the second baseman who's the hero. Sure stumbles and is still able to throw him out by that much. Are you just weighted to third base or do you not get a lead? I mean, he should have scored easily on that play.
00;09;37;12 - 00;09;43;13
Tom Green
It was, you know, the replays. You could see that his lead was minimal. He it was related to Muncy. It was proximity.
00;09;43;13 - 00;10;01;23
Ron Zappolo
But it was also I think from what I read, related to the night before when Addison Barger got picked off second base in the bottom of the ninth, and the third base coach says to him, hey, if it's a line drive, you got to stay close. But the World Series is hanging in the balance. You got what you needed a ground ball.
00;10;01;23 - 00;10;04;04
Tom Green
The secondary lead is just what he did.
00;10;04;08 - 00;10;16;22
Ron Zappolo
Oh, he's got a score. He hey, if you're going to do that then leave Bo Beckett in the game and and let him run. Because if it goes to extra innings I want Bobby Schutz back in the lineup.
00;10;16;24 - 00;10;22;08
Tom Green
Well, that's game sevens. We've seen a bunch of them. That one would go on the list. I think it.
00;10;22;08 - 00;10;26;05
Ron Zappolo
Comes up before we leave that. Can we give the Yamamoto?
00;10;26;08 - 00;10;27;26
Tom Green
Oh, man.
00;10;27;28 - 00;10;37;21
Ron Zappolo
One of the Schilling Award? Yes. Great. I mean, 96 pitches the night before, and he comes in for not one, not two, but three scoreless in very.
00;10;37;21 - 00;10;38;03
Tom Green
Good innings.
00;10;38;03 - 00;10;42;19
Ron Zappolo
With command. Yeah. Under pressure, I tip my cap to him.
00;10;42;26 - 00;10;52;07
Woody Paige
I just add to that that between innings when they're in the dugout before that last inning he's over there going through his pitching mode. You see.
00;10;52;07 - 00;10;52;25
Tom Green
That? Yeah.
00;10;52;29 - 00;11;11;24
Woody Paige
Yeah I thought that was kind of missed by everybody. They weren't making a big deal of. But I thought he is so intent on because he said after the series was over that, in order to pitch, to come back in, he said, I'm going to have to kind of change what I'm doing because I can't throw exactly the same way.
00;11;11;26 - 00;11;20;22
Woody Paige
When he was still working on that in the third inning of pitching in the game, and I thought, now there's a reason why you give a guy like that the most money, any pitcher.
00;11;20;26 - 00;11;24;09
Ron Zappolo
And that everybody wanted him. Everybody was after.
00;11;24;09 - 00;11;48;17
Tom Green
Him and he paid off. Yeah. So speaking of the World Series, once the World Series ends, 2026, baseball season really starts. Free agency teams start making moves, or they're either cutting guys loose or signing them, or, you know, the free agent frenzy will start. The general managers will meet, in a few days, and the Rockies are going to send you to the general manager meetings.
00;11;48;24 - 00;11;54;08
Ron Zappolo
Maybe they should send, like there is no I'm trying to think of some, but.
00;11;54;08 - 00;11;55;10
Tom Green
Kris Bryant is free.
00;11;55;10 - 00;11;56;16
Ron Zappolo
Might be good, you know.
00;11;56;24 - 00;11;57;16
Woody Paige
Oh yeah.
00;11;57;19 - 00;11;58;20
Ron Zappolo
Bob. Yep.
00;11;58;22 - 00;12;20;22
Woody Paige
Yeah. I mean we people kind of did see Bob who became chair after he was fired became quit. He quit. He didn't want to be around the Monfort, but he was a scout for the twins or somebody. And he would show up at the. Yeah, at the ballpark. And you think that he's the guy that actually did a better job than any of the other, and he didn't have a staff.
00;12;20;25 - 00;12;36;23
Woody Paige
He didn't have. Not only did they not have analytics, which they've never had, but they didn't even have scouts. They had scouts. They were like, you know, high school football coaches who were on pigeons that were were friends of his.
00;12;36;23 - 00;12;40;15
Tom Green
But that's kind of where they are right now. Right? That like who?
00;12;40;22 - 00;12;59;11
Woody Paige
That will tell me where they are. They, they we get the word that they've narrowed it down to two guys. I honestly, you know, we all follow baseball. I honestly never heard of either one of them. Okay. That's fine. They're assistant general managers. Are they're deep in the front office. Deep back of the room, in the front office.
00;12;59;14 - 00;13;22;14
Woody Paige
Okay. All right. That's not the guy that I would would bring in, but at least they they firm about this. And now we found out that that's not going to go. So they're interviewing one of their former. Good, very good. Relief pitchers who's still pitching in baseball. He was pitching for the Yankees Adam Ottavino.
00;13;22;14 - 00;13;25;25
Tom Green
Yeah, he's just a he might have just hung it up, but if.
00;13;26;07 - 00;13;27;18
Woody Paige
But when I think of the team at.
00;13;27;18 - 00;13;28;03
Tom Green
Full spring.
00;13;28;03 - 00;13;29;10
Tom Green
Training feeling pretty good. Skip.
00;13;29;17 - 00;13;32;05
Ron Zappolo
Yeah. When somebody needs a veteran reliever.
00;13;32;05 - 00;13;54;15
Woody Paige
Well, here's a guy. No, I just going to sound a little bit like a joke. You say he's out of baseball in terms of playing at spring training. If somebody calls him and says, we'd like for you to come into our camp, and he's got to decide whether he wants to be the CEO of the Rockies or will be a pitcher with the Royals, he would take the Royals job.
00;13;54;20 - 00;14;08;21
Ron Zappolo
Can I ask you both a question? And I mean this with respect. After three straight hundred loss seasons and no ratings on television, and I'm sure people are, do people really care anymore?
00;14;08;24 - 00;14;10;12
Tom Green
I think people would, I remember.
00;14;10;13 - 00;14;12;27
Ron Zappolo
I mean, people like the three of us, I mean.
00;14;13;00 - 00;14;32;19
Tom Green
A couple of your friends. And when I, when I would sit with, Mark Mosher and Doug Moe up at the first year of of the, the hockey avalanche came back and, Mosher would kid Doug about the banners, the nugget banners up there, and he would say, you know, like, people ever care about the nuggets who were terrible at the time.
00;14;32;19 - 00;14;46;12
Tom Green
And I said to him, I said, just see, you know, most people love to love the nuggets. You just need a reason. This team was terrible and drawn 11, 12,000 for a reason. It's the same thing with the Rockies. Rockies got to give them a reason and it's going to take a while for them to get a reason.
00;14;46;12 - 00;14;58;25
Tom Green
But I want to know these two frontrunners. One of them's about to get the job. Both of them don't. Did they bail on the Rockies or did the Rockies say.
00;14;58;27 - 00;15;01;09
Ron Zappolo
How do you know?
00;15;01;11 - 00;15;23;16
Woody Paige
I what I, what I be concerned about is why we don't know. And I'll put myself in that. We should know. We in the media should know what went wrong here. Hey, why did they choose those two people? We don't know. We don't know. There's not a moment that we couldn't somebody, you know, in the media. I'll blame myself.
00;15;23;18 - 00;15;52;04
Woody Paige
Didn't go to their friends and say what makes your your friend candidate to be the chief of operation baseball operations of the Rockies? We don't know why they chose these two guys. We don't. Because I did research of saying, what is it in their past that makes them right? The guy with Arizona, got out of college and was working as a doctor or something like that, was going to go to med school, and Arizona got to the World Series.
00;15;52;04 - 00;16;09;16
Woody Paige
But, I mean, you don't think of the Arizona Diamondbacks as a breeding ground for great leadership in front offices. But I look and I go, why these two guys? Why didn't somebody from the Rockies say, well, we got some candidates, we're looking at and they're good at analytics.
00;16;09;16 - 00;16;11;29
Tom Green
And I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, why?
00;16;12;00 - 00;16;12;14
Woody Paige
Why would.
00;16;12;14 - 00;16;37;24
Ron Zappolo
They? I'll tell you what we know. We know that they don't really care, because if they did care, these names wouldn't be part of it. They would identify six current general managers who have all won a lot in the past. They would contact them. They would get three months ago, talk to them and they would offer make them offers that they couldn't refuse to come to Denver.
00;16;37;28 - 00;16;43;24
Ron Zappolo
And until they do that and we all know who these people are, we can identify them. They don't want to hire.
00;16;43;26 - 00;16;51;15
Tom Green
The calendar tells the story, though. I mean, those general manager meetings when players are starting to move, the GM meetings are going to happen and.
00;16;51;17 - 00;16;52;04
Ron Zappolo
It goes and.
00;16;52;04 - 00;16;54;20
Tom Green
You are. You have a rudderless ship and.
00;16;54;23 - 00;16;55;02
Ron Zappolo
They don't.
00;16;55;02 - 00;17;00;15
Tom Green
Care who makes the decisions. I mean, is it really just Dick and Walker Monfort? Is there anyone else that organization.
00;17;00;15 - 00;17;02;24
Ron Zappolo
Other than Dick and Walker Monfort? Who else is there?
00;17;02;24 - 00;17;03;09
Tom Green
That's what I'm.
00;17;03;09 - 00;17;12;20
Ron Zappolo
Wondering. So it's Dick and Walker Monfort. Listen, I like Dick. Do you think Dick is sitting up at night? Sleepless nights because the Rockies have lost 100 and for years.
00;17;12;20 - 00;17;16;10
Woody Paige
Why don't you tell me? Tell me this. Why do you like Dick?
00;17;16;13 - 00;17;24;12
Ron Zappolo
Because on a personal level, I've talked to Dick, I like him. Do I think he's a good owner? No, I think he's terrible.
00;17;24;15 - 00;17;33;17
Tom Green
I'll tell you why I like him. The one thing I like that says. Ever wonder what he's thinking? He'll tell you exactly. He will tell you, I'm sure. But is he good at it? Well, no, the proof is on the page.
00;17;33;17 - 00;17;40;26
Woody Paige
This is a terrible, comparison here. But every time somebody kill somebody, they go to his neighbors and they go.
00;17;40;28 - 00;17;44;16
Tom Green
Oh, I like the guy. I don't know why I got okay, dicks.
00;17;44;16 - 00;17;45;13
Ron Zappolo
Done a bad job.
00;17;45;13 - 00;17;48;26
Tom Green
I don't know if you say so. Yeah.
00;17;48;28 - 00;17;54;15
Woody Paige
How many times have you heard about a serial killer? Oh, he caught by law. He doesn't.
00;17;54;15 - 00;17;57;00
Ron Zappolo
Care. He doesn't. He doesn't care.
00;17;57;04 - 00;18;00;03
Woody Paige
He's your head. Say you like Dick Monfort. I mean.
00;18;00;03 - 00;18;03;02
Ron Zappolo
I could say I like him if I want. Tom, why are you scared?
00;18;03;02 - 00;18;10;02
Woody Paige
Because I am somebody who is destroyed. We're not going to get into politics, but somebody who will get destroyed.
00;18;10;02 - 00;18;10;12
Ron Zappolo
Get into.
00;18;10;12 - 00;18;35;26
Woody Paige
Politics. He's destroyed a franchise. Yeah, he has personally destroyed a franchise. And you go, oh, yeah, he'll tell you. What do you think? Listen, no he doesn't. He goes into hiding for months like a, bear in hibernation. And you're saying, oh, yeah, he'll tell you. What do you think? So I will say, don't shoot him in the media than anybody because we both stated walking walking stick or talking.
00;18;35;26 - 00;18;36;10
Tom Green
Talking.
00;18;36;10 - 00;19;01;26
Woody Paige
Stick because I stayed there, because the general manager gave me a deal. He stayed there because that's where the owner stayed. Everybody else stated, you know, the motel six. And so I talked to him out back and we'd have dinner together and we talk about it. And I thought then I want to keep talking to him because I want to find out why he doesn't know what he's doing.
00;19;01;28 - 00;19;09;29
Ron Zappolo
Because he's more concerned about building Kelly now, Gregory Square and the rooftop party.
00;19;10;03 - 00;19;10;20
Tom Green
Right field.
00;19;10;20 - 00;19;13;23
Ron Zappolo
Than he is about building a successful why?
00;19;13;26 - 00;19;45;18
Woody Paige
Why would the team, under any circumstance, hire any of the three of us, really, to be the because we kind of follow baseball. We are nice guys, but we can't do it. No. You know what his background is? Slaughterhouses. Yes. In Greeley, Colorado. And he his claim to fame is he had the Brett Favre Steakhouse in Green Bay.
00;19;45;22 - 00;19;50;05
Woody Paige
What? Go look what's there. It's an empty lot because the moment Brett, how.
00;19;50;05 - 00;19;52;02
Ron Zappolo
Do we get to the Brett Farve steakhouse? I was.
00;19;52;02 - 00;19;52;29
Tom Green
Still hanging on to the.
00;19;52;29 - 00;19;56;04
Woody Paige
Serial killer. That was what you're talking about. You know.
00;19;56;04 - 00;19;57;19
Tom Green
The.
00;19;57;21 - 00;19;59;25
Woody Paige
Kelly McGuire, Gregory Square.
00;20;00;00 - 00;20;01;03
Ron Zappolo
That's what Dick cares about.
00;20;01;06 - 00;20;03;00
Woody Paige
Dick cared about.
00;20;03;01 - 00;20;17;26
Tom Green
They've got a problem. Because you guys think. You think he's going to walk in and win over a room? I mean, that I think it's a toxic job. And I think the next manager. Like, if you want to be the manager of the Rockies, that's a that's a career killer right now, you're going to go out there and you're going to drive 100.
00;20;17;26 - 00;20;20;28
Ron Zappolo
You're right. Why would you want to be the manager or the GM of the Rockies?
00;20;21;03 - 00;20;27;07
Tom Green
It's a I mean there's only so many jobs and they might pay well, but, it's your last stop on the train.
00;20;27;07 - 00;20;30;25
Ron Zappolo
Go talk to the last 3 or 4 managers and ask them how that went for him.
00;20;30;25 - 00;20;35;01
Speaker 5
So he's still into slaughtering? It's just careers, you know.
00;20;35;03 - 00;20;36;04
Tom Green
It's just.
00;20;36;07 - 00;20;36;18
Ron Zappolo
That he.
00;20;36;18 - 00;20;50;11
Woody Paige
Could fit. So they have a general managers meeting. The Rockies are not going to everybody. They're they're going to have an owners meeting. And on the other side, they are going to have an owner there whose only concern in baseball is get a salary cap.
00;20;50;14 - 00;21;01;11
Ron Zappolo
I was going to say when Dick said this was like a year ago, the doc, he was the, poster child for the Dodgers are ruining baseball. Yeah. How do you think he feels today about that?
00;21;01;11 - 00;21;02;22
Tom Green
I think the Dodgers feel about.
00;21;02;24 - 00;21;03;13
Woody Paige
Oh, yeah.
00;21;03;16 - 00;21;06;24
Ron Zappolo
They got they have two words for decline and they're not happy motoring.
00;21;06;24 - 00;21;10;28
Woody Paige
He folded up a year later and said the San Diego Padres word.
00;21;11;01 - 00;21;19;25
Ron Zappolo
Well pretty soon he'll have gotten all the teams in the division. The Diamondbacks and Giants are up next, so he'll get to them. You know, it's funny, it's funny, but it's not.
00;21;19;25 - 00;21;21;29
Woody Paige
Not it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not.
00;21;22;04 - 00;21;36;14
Ron Zappolo
It's sad because we could be a not good we could be a great baseball town. We're a great sports town. We could be a great baseball town. And and through no fault of our own, we're screwed.
00;21;36;17 - 00;21;39;21
Woody Paige
Yeah, man, we are great. But baseball, we were.
00;21;39;24 - 00;21;40;17
Ron Zappolo
Very short for.
00;21;40;18 - 00;21;45;06
Woody Paige
The first two years when they were in, Mile-high Stadium.
00;21;45;06 - 00;21;45;28
Ron Zappolo
When it was Jerry.
00;21;45;28 - 00;21;48;00
Woody Paige
McMahon said all sorts of work on.
00;21;48;00 - 00;22;11;10
Ron Zappolo
Baylor, Don, Baylor, real baseball. Not much more. So much. But Baylor and Gebhart. Gephardt. You told drew on your show the other day, and I thought it was spot on that Gebhart is going to be with history. Looking back, he's going to look much better for the job that he did, putting an expansion franchise together, the amount of talent that he brought in.
00;22;11;10 - 00;22;18;00
Tom Green
Right. And Don Baylor also being a writer, you know, you you can always question managerial decisions here and there. That's part of the job.
00;22;18;00 - 00;22;21;03
Ron Zappolo
Well, you could don but he would the how are you two.
00;22;21;07 - 00;22;25;26
Woody Paige
How often do you hear particularly in football. You hear, a leader of men. Yeah.
00;22;25;27 - 00;22;27;07
Ron Zappolo
Dot Baylor
00;22;27;09 - 00;22;30;01
Woody Paige
All the people I've ever been around was a leader.
00;22;30;02 - 00;22;31;08
Ron Zappolo
Don Baylor was.
00;22;31;08 - 00;22;39;13
Woody Paige
You could see by just talking to him for two minutes. There was a reason he would lead the league in getting hit, because. Okay, you want to throw at me? Yeah. Okay.
00;22;39;14 - 00;22;40;26
Tom Green
Right here. Good. Right?
00;22;41;03 - 00;22;57;14
Ron Zappolo
Yeah. You know, I remember doing a story with him once about lead being the all time leader and getting hit by pitches, and I said, and he proudly said I never went to the mound. And I go, what did you do? He goes, I'd knock the shortstop or second baseman to center field, and there was a ground ball that got my point across.
00;22;57;14 - 00;23;03;24
Woody Paige
Speaking of history of the Rockies, one of their managers just got a job in Atlanta, Walter White.
00;23;04;00 - 00;23;04;18
Ron Zappolo
Weiss.
00;23;04;25 - 00;23;21;21
Woody Paige
And, I think we would all agree that he's one of the nicest guys we've ever met. When he was the shortstop for the Rockies, I thought, man, there's not a better guy in baseball that should be a manager. And he got the Rockies job. The problem was they were the Rockies. I don't think it was Walt Weiss.
00;23;21;21 - 00;23;26;05
Woody Paige
And so he battled back and went to he soon was the bench.
00;23;26;05 - 00;23;27;03
Ron Zappolo
Coach, bench coach.
00;23;27;03 - 00;23;42;09
Woody Paige
And now he's going to there. And I see people in Atlanta responding and saying he's not he's not any good. You know when you good with the Rockies and everything he's going to be a good manager for them. He would have been a good manager for the Rockies hit he quit. He may still be. He will.
00;23;42;09 - 00;23;42;16
Ron Zappolo
Want to.
00;23;42;18 - 00;23;57;18
Woody Paige
He quit. He didn't. He didn't want to be the manager there anymore because of the same reason that Jim Tracy quit. They didn't want to work for, for, the guy you think is a nice guy like my. He is, hell, he's.
00;23;57;20 - 00;23;58;20
Ron Zappolo
He's a nice guy.
00;23;58;22 - 00;24;00;13
Woody Paige
Who is aptly named.
00;24;00;20 - 00;24;05;24
Tom Green
I will say this about Walt Weiss, one of my favorite Walt Weiss facts. Is he is from tuxedo.
00;24;05;24 - 00;24;13;29
Ron Zappolo
New York, New York, tuxedo, New York to well-dressed, one of the nicer. I think we can all agree on this. What? Weiss is one of the nicer people you like.
00;24;14;00 - 00;24;14;10
Tom Green
Him.
00;24;14;13 - 00;24;18;24
Ron Zappolo
With. I love ball was. I can give you some guys. I don't like it. That makes you give.
00;24;18;24 - 00;24;20;13
Woody Paige
Me one person in sports.
00;24;20;13 - 00;24;20;25
Tom Green
I know he's.
00;24;20;25 - 00;24;21;20
Ron Zappolo
Going to go. Charlie. Hey.
00;24;21;20 - 00;24;24;02
Tom Green
I knew it'd be Charlie Hayes.
00;24;24;04 - 00;24;26;11
Tom Green
Of Charlie Hayes. I don't Charlie.
00;24;26;12 - 00;24;27;12
Ron Zappolo
Is saying Charlie.
00;24;27;12 - 00;24;53;15
Woody Paige
Hey, Charlie. It's game came here in the early this take one minute. Charlie Hayes came here at the beginning of the. Of course, he had played for the Yankees. I thought he was really somebody. And he he's the third baseman in the 280. He got a hitter and training camp down in Tucson. I wrote and said to one of the previous owners that the Rockies were going to break Roger Maris record.
00;24;53;17 - 00;25;16;27
Woody Paige
And he said, well, who's going to do it? But yet, Galarraga said, the whole team is going to hit 63 home runs. And so I'm in the press box at spring training. Jim Armstrong, who was the baseball writer and the great writer in the media, comes in and he said, whatever you do, do not go in the visitor's locker room and said, why?
00;25;16;27 - 00;25;21;24
Woody Paige
He said, I just got beat up by Charlie Hayes because he thought I was you.
00;25;21;27 - 00;25;22;18
Tom Green
He said.
00;25;22;20 - 00;25;29;27
Woody Paige
He came over. He said, you're that page guy. And he started hitting on me. And I said, no, he's in. You need to go up to the press box.
00;25;30;04 - 00;25;40;16
Tom Green
I always thought that was Charlie Hayes, you know? It was like I said, a good player had some big hits in his life. And, but I always thought his greatest drawback was he always misidentified the writer. He wanted to be up.
00;25;40;21 - 00;25;41;16
Tom Green
I mean.
00;25;41;18 - 00;25;44;04
Tom Green
That's the kind of fundamental skill you want to have.
00;25;44;09 - 00;25;44;23
Tom Green
You're going to be.
00;25;44;23 - 00;25;46;20
Ron Zappolo
A major league player is going to say, Charlie.
00;25;46;20 - 00;25;49;03
Tom Green
Hayes, I knew you. Yeah, you wouldn't Charlie, but that.
00;25;49;03 - 00;26;07;13
Ron Zappolo
But, you know, there's others. There's people that did not get along with that I don't like. But Dick Monfort, well, I think he's horrible at his job. Oh, it's not a bad person. This guy over here, this lunatic is trying to say that he's comparing him to a murderer, for crying out loud. I mean, he's a bad owner.
00;26;07;16 - 00;26;09;06
Ron Zappolo
He's a bad owner.
00;26;09;11 - 00;26;11;00
Tom Green
You didn't.
00;26;11;03 - 00;26;14;18
Ron Zappolo
Yet he hasn't killed anybody, so he hired his son.
00;26;14;18 - 00;26;15;27
Tom Green
But it's not Son of Sam.
00;26;15;27 - 00;26;17;20
Ron Zappolo
He just killed baseball, that's all.
00;26;17;20 - 00;26;19;29
Tom Green
Yeah, yeah. And by the way.
00;26;20;01 - 00;26;31;13
Ron Zappolo
You know, if you're going to hire your son, don't you have to be at least Bill Belichick? Kind of good to hire your kid or Marty Schottenheimer or somebody who's had a lot of success?
00;26;31;19 - 00;26;36;09
Tom Green
It's hard to judge people in that role because you don't really ever see them work.
00;26;36;09 - 00;26;36;21
Tom Green
Well, I.
00;26;36;21 - 00;26;58;27
Woody Paige
Know I can't judge him. His son, that he is now named, executive vice president, whatever he used would walk around LoDo when he was younger in a Rockies jacket and tell people he owned the Rockies. I was in bars. I mean, talking about good bars. I was Mr. Good Bar.
00;26;58;29 - 00;27;01;22
Tom Green
High end. Yeah.
00;27;01;25 - 00;27;10;21
Woody Paige
And he would go around looking for. Yes, by saying he owned the the the Rockies. Is that a guy that was giving you analytical?
00;27;10;21 - 00;27;11;28
Tom Green
Well, I mean, he's also young.
00;27;11;29 - 00;27;40;29
Ron Zappolo
Didn't, didn't, didn't, John Boland go around and say I'm the blood of the city and. Yeah, don't you know who I am? And these are the problems with kids. That's why Pat Bowlen was so smart and one of the greatest owners ever. Instead of just bequeathing the Broncos to one of his children, he made sure that his lawyer and a couple other people said, don't just give it to anybody after I'm gone, make sure that they're qualified.
00;27;41;01 - 00;27;48;23
Ron Zappolo
And now a lot of things happened because of that. There was a suit. There was a lot of things, but he knew enough to know, don't just give your kids something.
00;27;48;23 - 00;27;52;02
Tom Green
To finish with them on for it. So I would say this though, that.
00;27;52;04 - 00;27;53;08
Woody Paige
Good idea about the way.
00;27;53;10 - 00;27;53;19
Tom Green
When.
00;27;53;22 - 00;27;56;06
Ron Zappolo
You finish with the Monfort.
00;27;56;09 - 00;28;01;02
Tom Green
When when they named Walker, I thought, you know, that was a mistake on Dick's part.
00;28;01;02 - 00;28;02;17
Woody Paige
I think he I think.
00;28;02;17 - 00;28;06;14
Tom Green
He, I think was a mistake on Walker's part to take it or to not turn it down, too.
00;28;06;15 - 00;28;18;25
Woody Paige
But I think, but nightstick that it's causing, thought he was talking about Larry Walker. What? You said Walker, get Walker on the phone. I was there. I mean.
00;28;18;28 - 00;28;25;27
Ron Zappolo
You know what, though? You're right. It was a mistake for Dick to offer it. It's hard to criticize the kid.
00;28;25;28 - 00;28;27;02
Tom Green
No, I know.
00;28;27;05 - 00;28;38;26
Woody Paige
But but that's what I tell you. Why am I stumbling here? I told you, Dick Monfort is incompetent. I'm not saying. Oh, he does a good job in real estate.
00;28;38;27 - 00;28;44;17
Ron Zappolo
You don't think that a guy that's incompetent can still be a nice person? Look at me. Look at Tom. Look at me.
00;28;44;19 - 00;28;46;02
Tom Green
Look at you.
00;28;46;05 - 00;28;49;09
Ron Zappolo
I mean, come on. We're the poster boys for being incompetent.
00;28;49;09 - 00;28;49;24
Tom Green
What do you think.
00;28;49;24 - 00;28;51;10
Ron Zappolo
We're doing sitting here?
00;28;51;10 - 00;28;58;02
Woody Paige
I even God incompetent. I told you before the show started that I was next to Paul McCartney.
00;28;58;04 - 00;28;58;21
Tom Green
Okay?
00;28;58;23 - 00;29;06;03
Woody Paige
And Paul McCartney said to me at halftime, he said, out came a dog with a monkey on its back and dressed like a cowboy.
00;29;06;04 - 00;29;08;03
Ron Zappolo
We're going to tell story, you know.
00;29;08;05 - 00;29;20;27
Woody Paige
McCartney said to me, what in the hell is that? He actually used a stronger words, and I said, that's a monkey on a, he does have tomatoes. He said, I'm sharing the halftime show. You know.
00;29;20;27 - 00;29;32;04
Ron Zappolo
He made a good point, though, and I don't know why, but I've been thinking about this for 15 minutes. When he talked about, Dan Reeves, telling Elway to be conservative and then to win the game.
00;29;32;11 - 00;29;32;22
Tom Green
In the fourth.
00;29;32;22 - 00;29;58;03
Ron Zappolo
Quarter. I'll never forget the famous Phil Esposito quote. And I had him I interviewed him in here when he came in with the Rangers, and he repeated it before he went to the Bruins. He was with the Blackhawks and Billy Ray, the coach, wouldn't play him. And so he's sitting there period after period. The third period, the Blackhawks are down 9 to 4 and he goes Esposito center that line.
00;29;58;06 - 00;30;02;20
Ron Zappolo
Esposito looks at him and says, coach, do you want me to tie the game or should I.
00;30;02;20 - 00;30;07;07
Tom Green
Go ahead and win?
00;30;07;10 - 00;30;20;06
Woody Paige
But what ended up happening with something to keep in mind? Elway and Reese hated each other. That's true. I'm not stretching that. They hated each.
00;30;20;06 - 00;30;22;01
Ron Zappolo
Other. Hey, listen.
00;30;22;03 - 00;30;35;02
Woody Paige
So how did this play out with Bo Nix and Sean Payton? You don't think that Bo Nix wants to throw 20?
00;30;35;06 - 00;30;35;19
Ron Zappolo
Yeah.
00;30;35;21 - 00;30;41;09
Tom Green
He's got to put more good throws on tape though before he's going to get cut loose. He's missing guys.
00;30;41;09 - 00;30;43;28
Ron Zappolo
I don't I don't want to compare Bo Nix to John Elway.
00;30;43;28 - 00;30;45;22
Tom Green
Just just quit. Yeah yeah.
00;30;45;22 - 00;30;52;29
Woody Paige
But Peyton is there. Thought that maybe he'd like to see the backup quarterback who was so good.
00;30;52;29 - 00;30;54;20
Tom Green
And you don't think so?
00;30;54;20 - 00;31;17;22
Ron Zappolo
No, no. No, 100%. No. He is tied to Bo Nix. And in fact, I think he loves the national narrative that he was the, quote, smart guy. Yeah. To pass on all the other guys because he determined that Bo Nix was exactly the guy that I want. And I think he loves that out there. So he ain't going away from.
00;31;17;22 - 00;31;31;08
Tom Green
Bo if he was going to do that, like if he really all of a sudden decided he really wanted Jarrett Stidham to play instead of Bo Nix, I think we'd call him probably analogous to a serial killer.
00;31;31;10 - 00;31;41;05
Ron Zappolo
Nice guy. On that note.
00;31;41;07 - 00;31;50;00
Tom Green
I think you see Woody in his chalkboard, this, chalkboard this week. What are those beautiful flowers with blue petals in yellow centers? I forget.
00;31;50;02 - 00;31;53;25
Ron Zappolo
I feel like I'm in the doctor's office. I can barely read this.
00;31;53;25 - 00;31;56;00
Woody Paige
This was the best logo with the.
00;31;56;01 - 00;31;58;08
Tom Green
Oh, the Bronco. Yeah, that helmet by far.
00;31;58;08 - 00;31;59;07
Ron Zappolo
And by far, it.
00;31;59;07 - 00;32;15;28
Woody Paige
Was done in one day by the Denver Post. Artist who was doing, just a drawing for, a Denver Post for the paycheck a long time ago. And the, Broncos paid him about five bucks and said, give me this. And he went, sure.
00;32;15;28 - 00;32;17;29
Tom Green
Yeah. It's now worth, $3 billion.
00;32;18;06 - 00;32;20;23
Ron Zappolo
People thought it was Fred Durkee that came up with that.
00;32;20;28 - 00;32;22;05
Woody Paige
That was the Rams.
00;32;22;05 - 00;32;22;18
Ron Zappolo
Okay.
00;32;22;20 - 00;32;25;22
Tom Green
He came up with the horn helmet, the artwork.
00;32;25;24 - 00;32;26;13
Ron Zappolo
That's pretty cool.
00;32;26;17 - 00;32;29;29
Tom Green
That's pretty good. Yeah. Hey, time for me to move.
00;32;29;29 - 00;32;39;07
Woody Paige
I think, though, that the best thing that ever happened with the Colorado State Rams is, there were two brothers, and one of them was named Lawrence, and the other was named Larry.
00;32;39;10 - 00;32;43;02
Tom Green
I always thought that was interesting. I was like, Newhart.
00;32;43;05 - 00;32;56;05
Tom Green
Darrell and Darrell. All right, it's your move. Let's see what we got. This week. We're going to talk about, choosing a repeat World Series champ. Do you like this year's Dodgers now? Two in a row, or do you go with those Yankees from way back when?
00;32;56;10 - 00;33;03;26
Ron Zappolo
I go with the Yankees from way back when? Because I'm my high school. Math tells me they got three in a row and the Dodgers only have two.
00;33;03;29 - 00;33;04;20
Tom Green
You did well, and.
00;33;04;21 - 00;33;11;09
Ron Zappolo
I did pretty well. That's why I got out of high school. I knew I knew math wasn't my strong suit, but yes.
00;33;11;12 - 00;33;25;25
Woody Paige
I would. I rarely agree with you, but I agree with you on that, that those Yankees were dominant. I thought the Dodgers had a lot of lapses. I agree defensively I thought they are not very talented.
00;33;25;28 - 00;33;36;04
Ron Zappolo
I thought they underachieved most of the year. Yeah, they if you look at their payroll in their talent, the Padres were neck and neck with them all year. And then even in the series.
00;33;36;06 - 00;33;57;11
Woody Paige
I think we talked at length about the Rockies. One thing they've never done is go to the Asian countries, right? Charlie Monfort tried to do it. At one point. They brought, a pitcher from South Korea, and that was the extent of it. But the Dodgers are so reliant on great Japanese.
00;33;57;11 - 00;34;06;14
Ron Zappolo
Don't you think? Part of what, Woody is that with Ohtani, these other guys, Sasaki and Yamamoto, they all want to play with Ohtani? Well, they're don't like the West Coast.
00;34;06;14 - 00;34;07;05
Tom Green
Yeah, yeah.
00;34;07;05 - 00;34;09;20
Ron Zappolo
It's closer to home. And it's Ohtani.
00;34;09;21 - 00;34;11;22
Woody Paige
Japanese, population.
00;34;11;25 - 00;34;13;02
Ron Zappolo
And the Japanese on the.
00;34;13;07 - 00;34;14;02
Woody Paige
West coast see.
00;34;14;02 - 00;34;14;22
Tom Green
Seattle.
00;34;14;29 - 00;34;19;21
Woody Paige
Eye Seattle Keller started out with each arrow and then has kind of backed off that.
00;34;19;25 - 00;34;20;20
Tom Green
Well. But I think.
00;34;20;22 - 00;34;21;05
Woody Paige
You.
00;34;21;07 - 00;34;30;16
Ron Zappolo
Know well so I like the Yankees. One guy that the Dodgers don't have and they've been looking for for two years, Mariano Rivera. Sure he was a difference, but they.
00;34;30;16 - 00;34;32;26
Tom Green
Also did have a great Japanese player as well.
00;34;33;01 - 00;34;36;04
Ron Zappolo
Oh he met suey. Yeah. He was one of the more.
00;34;36;04 - 00;34;37;00
Woody Paige
Well was his.
00;34;37;03 - 00;34;38;18
Ron Zappolo
Left handed clutch.
00;34;38;21 - 00;34;39;15
Woody Paige
By.
00;34;39;17 - 00;34;39;27
Tom Green
The right.
00;34;40;01 - 00;34;47;22
Woody Paige
Age and called me when I was working in New York. And he said his mother was such a big fan of, of of of,
00;34;47;24 - 00;34;48;21
Tom Green
The Mets.
00;34;48;23 - 00;35;08;11
Woody Paige
Yeah. And she would like, a bobblehead doll. And I said, what's a bubble? What what is the bobblehead doll? It's Godzilla, because that was his nickname was Godzilla. And I went all over New York looking for Godzilla. I said, I'll send you a bobblehead of Godzilla.
00;35;08;15 - 00;35;16;28
Tom Green
People ask about the bobbing Buddha behind you. When you said bobblehead, I thought of your. Yeah, your little buddy over by the Bronco logo over there.
00;35;16;28 - 00;35;31;09
Woody Paige
I thought the Rockies in the. I'm sorry, go back. But the one thing I thought was funny is the Rockies should have had bobblehead nights for stars on other teams. Yeah, because they're up there. We were talking about.
00;35;31;12 - 00;35;33;07
Tom Green
Their fan base, reality fan.
00;35;33;07 - 00;35;36;23
Woody Paige
Base of, you know, that of the Rockies have lost their fan base.
00;35;36;23 - 00;35;40;13
Ron Zappolo
In the Rockies. Sick of performing nightly.
00;35;40;16 - 00;35;42;24
Tom Green
Oh, we're we're not done beating up talking.
00;35;42;26 - 00;35;44;05
Ron Zappolo
Well, I mean, we got more.
00;35;44;10 - 00;35;46;11
Tom Green
But I mean, don't use your bobblehead.
00;35;46;11 - 00;35;55;25
Ron Zappolo
Night. So I'm watching a little bit of the Giants 40 Niners game last week. And the people in New York and especially the New York press outrage.
00;35;55;26 - 00;35;56;20
Woody Paige
Why are you for.
00;35;56;22 - 00;36;16;00
Ron Zappolo
Your you're right back there that the 40 Niners took over MetLife Stadium, that it was a sea of red. The Jackson Dart had to go to the silent count because they couldn't hear. And I thought, well, that's what the Rockies have. Yeah. Every night, every night it's always the.
00;36;16;02 - 00;36;37;01
Woody Paige
Why don't you why don't you go with it. Yes. I over the years I've talked to players and they go, it's really tough to go into, you know, your stadium and know that people are pulling for those side, but they really should take it, take advantage of it and say, okay, Ohtani is coming to town. He's pitching will give away Ohtani bobblehead.
00;36;37;01 - 00;36;39;08
Woody Paige
Yeah, but you know he would sell out the place.
00;36;39;09 - 00;36;56;14
Ron Zappolo
You know what got me? I went to Fenway in September for a Yankee game. And it was great because the stakes were high and everything in her. I am 74 years old and I'm sitting next to this nice family, husband and wife to two daughters. They all got Yankee shirts on. And after about the third inning, I'm like, shut.
00;36;56;14 - 00;36;57;14
Tom Green
The hell up.
00;36;57;16 - 00;37;02;20
Ron Zappolo
You're you're in Fenway, get hat. And I thought, oh, easy now, easy.
00;37;02;26 - 00;37;05;14
Tom Green
They used to be so many fist fights in those games.
00;37;05;14 - 00;37;06;14
Woody Paige
Through the.
00;37;06;16 - 00;37;07;26
Tom Green
80s.
00;37;07;28 - 00;37;09;07
Ron Zappolo
Look at this.
00;37;09;09 - 00;37;14;04
Tom Green
Oh. All time Major League baseball. Great. This is Jeter versus.
00;37;14;04 - 00;37;17;17
Ron Zappolo
Or if we're going to talk. If we're going to talk. Clutch hitter.
00;37;17;19 - 00;37;18;13
Tom Green
No, no, this is.
00;37;18;13 - 00;37;20;23
Tom Green
That's that doesn't say all time clutch.
00;37;20;23 - 00;37;25;11
Ron Zappolo
Well, maybe we should do who's worse on the Fox postgame show.
00;37;25;11 - 00;37;26;13
Woody Paige
Us the word.
00;37;26;14 - 00;37;29;14
Ron Zappolo
Cheater or David Ortiz. It's a neck and neck.
00;37;29;15 - 00;37;31;00
Tom Green
I'm going to take A-Rod.
00;37;31;02 - 00;37;34;15
Tom Green
I'm gonna go. I'm going to go off the board.
00;37;34;18 - 00;37;37;18
Ron Zappolo
I'm going to, I'll recuse myself on that when you guys.
00;37;37;22 - 00;37;57;23
Tom Green
I'll tell you this. I grew up a Yankee fan, and Derek Jeter's everyone's idea of the perfect ballplayer. It seemed like when the Yankees played the Red Sox, David Ortiz batted 16 times every game. He was always on deck or coming up and always doing. Damn it, he was the most relied upon hitter who always seemed to come through than I'd ever seen.
00;37;57;23 - 00;37;58;19
Tom Green
So I'm going to go with David.
00;37;58;21 - 00;38;02;01
Ron Zappolo
He was the most he was the greatest clutch hitter of this generation.
00;38;02;01 - 00;38;08;08
Woody Paige
Yeah. I'm going to take Derek Jeter. I mean, Little Italy one night with my date and.
00;38;08;12 - 00;38;10;10
Ron Zappolo
Sounds like a glove story here.
00;38;10;12 - 00;38;29;22
Woody Paige
In Italian restaurant. And we're. It's your back deck. And Jeter comes in and I say, hey, Derek. And he sits a table next to me and he says, what a good to see you, because I had known him when he would come in with Yankees to Coors Field. And so I figured target by date at Derek's party. I bet you got it.
00;38;29;26 - 00;38;51;24
Woody Paige
I would, yeah. Doug, good to see you. Have a nice time with your date and everything. He's still up pointing at me, and the date says. I don't think he's saying hello. I turn around and there was a rat about two feet tall on the brick face behind me. Derek Jeter was trying to warn me away from the rat.
00;38;51;24 - 00;38;54;03
Tom Green
We're not going to say what restaurant this was.
00;38;54;05 - 00;39;03;16
Woody Paige
It's where in in The Godfather I we're not, come down in The Godfather, there's a scene where somebody puts a knife through somebody on the bar.
00;39;03;17 - 00;39;05;20
Ron Zappolo
Yeah, that would still be Luca Brothers.
00;39;05;22 - 00;39;06;04
Tom Green
Yeah.
00;39;06;07 - 00;39;07;06
Woody Paige
And they still.
00;39;07;12 - 00;39;08;07
Ron Zappolo
In The Godfather.
00;39;08;08 - 00;39;22;06
Woody Paige
They still have a circle around where the knife goes through there. And I would sit at the bar, constantly, but they had a little back, porch deck area where you go outside. But the rats in New York.
00;39;22;09 - 00;39;23;17
Ron Zappolo
And, you know, my story.
00;39;23;17 - 00;39;24;24
Woody Paige
You know, I picked I.
00;39;24;24 - 00;39;38;29
Ron Zappolo
Picked in their restaurant about a year ago, and I went up to say hello, and he ignored me. Then he came after, and he came back and he sat and talked to me. Hey, big time, big time home. But that's okay. I knew he loved me.
00;39;39;01 - 00;39;40;07
Tom Green
Well.
00;39;40;10 - 00;39;43;07
Ron Zappolo
You know, you got any brushes with fame? You want them rule?
00;39;43;10 - 00;39;49;09
Tom Green
No, just you two. I just every week I sit down with you two guys. That's why I tell her. Oh, God. I learn.
00;39;49;09 - 00;39;52;20
Ron Zappolo
A lot. Some local, you know, you sit down, bring the Jake jabs or something.
00;39;52;21 - 00;39;53;10
Woody Paige
Let's go.
00;39;53;13 - 00;39;57;02
Tom Green
Right. You seem like you're in a good mood, but do you have anything that's bugging you?
00;39;57;04 - 00;39;58;22
Ron Zappolo
You know, the only thing was.
00;39;58;22 - 00;39;59;20
Woody Paige
That it was it.
00;39;59;21 - 00;40;05;12
Ron Zappolo
I think we got to go. I was like, you're Jeter and 14 Ortiz.
00;40;05;17 - 00;40;08;10
Woody Paige
What to do? Not one more, that's all.
00;40;08;10 - 00;40;09;16
Ron Zappolo
Like, is there one more?
00;40;09;16 - 00;40;11;20
Tom Green
Where do we get the money to do these? I mean, do you think.
00;40;11;20 - 00;40;12;05
Tom Green
There's we can.
00;40;12;05 - 00;40;13;04
Speaker 5
Do one more if you want.
00;40;13;05 - 00;40;15;03
Ron Zappolo
Otherwise these questions are more.
00;40;15;05 - 00;40;15;22
Woody Paige
One more.
00;40;15;22 - 00;40;20;09
Tom Green
Contortion. What do you want? One more. Let's go. One more. Let's see what. What's on deck here?
00;40;20;11 - 00;40;22;07
Woody Paige
Rod Smith and Cinco.
00;40;22;11 - 00;40;35;19
Tom Green
Oh, this is so pretty. Yeah. This is a pretty easy for me. Rod Smith is is just, you know, not only as a player but as a person. You know, they're they're they're in different categories. Shout out to Cinco was a great receiver.
00;40;35;24 - 00;40;38;09
Ron Zappolo
But he was all about himself. Rod was about team.
00;40;38;09 - 00;40;47;06
Tom Green
Championships and and life leading up to and after football. And if you look at the numbers, there they are.
00;40;47;08 - 00;40;48;26
Tom Green
You know.
00;40;48;29 - 00;40;51;07
Ron Zappolo
What does that tell us about even.
00;40;51;10 - 00;40;52;05
Tom Green
Yes.
00;40;52;08 - 00;41;14;23
Woody Paige
But I talked to Rob a few years ago, and I said the problem for him getting in the Hall of Fame is there is not a larger back up. Yeah. Having been, on that committee for years wide receivers, there have been so many great wide receivers that you have to get in line. I mean really and rod it it will take a long time.
00;41;14;23 - 00;41;15;09
Ron Zappolo
It would.
00;41;15;15 - 00;41;16;03
Woody Paige
Before he.
00;41;16;03 - 00;41;25;18
Ron Zappolo
What if we talked to Terrell Davis about him. He'd put him in there because he'll tell you any time every day that ends and why Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith sprung me on a lot of those big plays.
00;41;25;18 - 00;41;26;13
Woody Paige
Okay.
00;41;26;15 - 00;41;29;01
Tom Green
All right. Let's talk about what's what's making you angry because.
00;41;29;06 - 00;41;30;03
Speaker 5
Besides what's.
00;41;30;07 - 00;41;32;12
Ron Zappolo
What do you go I think Woody's got the, you know.
00;41;32;12 - 00;41;33;25
Tom Green
All right, Woody.
00;41;33;28 - 00;41;38;29
Woody Paige
We talked about we talked about the party deck. And before the show went on, did.
00;41;38;29 - 00;41;39;27
Ron Zappolo
He get away?
00;41;39;27 - 00;41;47;18
Woody Paige
There were people involved. Natasha was right on him saying that that's the best bar in Denver. No, it's.
00;41;47;18 - 00;41;51;00
Ron Zappolo
Not the best. She's young enough. She. She's more.
00;41;51;00 - 00;41;57;12
Speaker 5
Today. I think people in their 20s might have a different perspective on everybody goes to ballpark. Oh, sure. Today there.
00;41;57;15 - 00;41;58;20
Tom Green
Well you have your Rockies hat on.
00;41;58;21 - 00;42;00;21
Ron Zappolo
Oh hold on. We got to let Woody Majors know.
00;42;00;22 - 00;42;04;00
Woody Paige
That's that's before I want to talk about people in their 20s.
00;42;04;03 - 00;42;06;13
Tom Green
Because we can't rely.
00;42;06;13 - 00;42;09;14
Woody Paige
On people in their 20s for anything. Oh.
00;42;09;17 - 00;42;12;28
Speaker 5
I think maybe the only thing is what's the best bar? Yeah.
00;42;12;28 - 00;42;15;00
Tom Green
Oh, that wouldn't be a good category.
00;42;15;04 - 00;42;18;11
Woody Paige
I mean, I've gone up there, so you you pay like.
00;42;18;14 - 00;42;21;25
Tom Green
I think it's 15 and you get 6 or 9 bucks back at the bar.
00;42;22;00 - 00;42;40;14
Woody Paige
Okay. So you get the first drink for the nine bucks or eight bucks, whatever. And you sit on a terrible old sofa or something, and your view is not the stadium. You're over here on this side, you're looking at the parking lot where you pay parks and you're a field. Your view is eastern Colorado. It's not the mountains.
00;42;40;16 - 00;42;59;16
Woody Paige
It's not the baseball stadium. You can't see the stadium. You can't see right field, Adams County. You cannot see right field. You from up there? Do you think so? A guy hits a hit, hit a roller that's in right field. He's going to go for third. You can't see the runner. You can't see the outfielder. You can't see the ball.
00;42;59;18 - 00;43;07;16
Woody Paige
You're telling me what is the purpose of that? Why don't you go to a bar where you can look at it on a big screen TV, and it's not going to be okay?
00;43;07;17 - 00;43;14;07
Speaker 5
Nobody wants to watch the Rockies. And here go. You drink and be outside. But I'll see the parking lot.
00;43;14;07 - 00;43;31;27
Woody Paige
Did I mentioning in order to go up there to the bar, you got to have a parking place. You're parking in a parking lot, which is going to cost you more than the tickets. I mean, how many times have you parked it in that's your view is you get to look at your. Pardon me? You get to look at your car the whole game.
00;43;32;02 - 00;43;55;22
Woody Paige
You could make sure nobody's breaking into your car. But there are 15 bars in LoDo that you can go to where you can watch a game on a big screen TV. You don't. You pay $2 for beer and happy hour, and you guys want to tell me that that's a great bar? I thought instead of that, he he called Dick the guy you like so much.
00;43;55;24 - 00;44;06;27
Woody Paige
Call me out to the to the ballpark during the offseason and showed me we sat in the first base seats and he showed me the party, Dick. And how that was going to turn around.
00;44;07;00 - 00;44;08;15
Ron Zappolo
Party Dick.
00;44;08;18 - 00;44;12;18
Tom Green
Well, he is that's he's careful.
00;44;12;21 - 00;44;16;21
Woody Paige
Yes. And I said, here it goes. Okay. So I'm looking up there.
00;44;16;21 - 00;44;17;06
Ron Zappolo
At.
00;44;17;08 - 00;44;41;08
Woody Paige
The they don't want to tear down the the third deck up there. So they put in the party that he thinks is the greatest thing in the world. That's it. Well how about a kid's merry go round in left field because they were drawing poorly. You're talking about fan base, but they were drawing poorly instead of concentrating on analytics on.
00;44;41;10 - 00;44;49;09
Woody Paige
I've already mentioned it on players that are who was one of their best players. Two of them were from Venezuela, if I remember.
00;44;49;11 - 00;44;51;05
Tom Green
Cargo know.
00;44;51;07 - 00;45;02;08
Woody Paige
And, Galarraga, you know, one of the great players they don't really concentrate on and they've never concentrate. They've had one Japanese second baseman hazmat.
00;45;02;11 - 00;45;02;21
Tom Green
Yes.
00;45;02;21 - 00;45;27;10
Woody Paige
Yeah. And one guy that was as in the minors that was from South Korea. That's what I said to Dick Monfort. There's the next best player coming out of Cuba. Do you remember any Cubans that they ever signed to? And, and and he said, I never heard of him. This is first baseman Todd Helton retired. Now I'm a baseball fan.
00;45;27;10 - 00;45;46;29
Woody Paige
I'm a guy who has covered baseball for forever. I know these people coming out of Cuba. I've been there, I've watched games there. And I said, Todd Helms retiring. You can get this guy and he won't cost that much to, he said, I never heard of him. Well, I should talk to your staff. And he comes back. And he said.
00;45;47;01 - 00;45;48;09
Tom Green
Well, they never heard.
00;45;48;09 - 00;46;06;00
Woody Paige
Of him either. Well, they didn't make an offer. They did make an offer of, I think it was 7 or $8 million a year. He went to the White Sox for like $10 million a year. Was most valuable player in the American League, led the league in RBIs, has had a I don't know if he's retired yet.
00;46;06;03 - 00;46;07;09
Ron Zappolo
I hope they converse. Yeah.
00;46;07;16 - 00;46;18;17
Woody Paige
And, word if somebody like me tells you that the party deck is not, you know, that's not the right solution.
00;46;18;17 - 00;46;19;29
Tom Green
Yeah. The fans are saying, how are you.
00;46;19;29 - 00;46;37;13
Woody Paige
Keeping a fan? You get 20 year olds that want to get a break on a beer or a drink and sit up there, okay? Why not sit in a real bar somewhere? That is, the worst section in the entire ballpark. So you're not there for.
00;46;37;20 - 00;46;38;03
Tom Green
It's what?
00;46;38;05 - 00;46;39;18
Speaker 5
It's one of the there for baseball.
00;46;39;22 - 00;46;43;14
Tom Green
It's one of the safest places to go if you don't want to see the Rockies.
00;46;43;16 - 00;46;49;21
Ron Zappolo
No, it's not safe, though, is if you're, like, a rocky first baseman in the first three innings in those Twilight.
00;46;49;23 - 00;46;50;18
Tom Green
Oh, man, it's.
00;46;50;18 - 00;46;58;28
Ron Zappolo
A ground ball to third. And they throw over and you're sitting down the right field corner, which I have. They can't see the ball. And how did you I mean.
00;46;59;02 - 00;47;00;18
Tom Green
They started skipping it in. Yeah.
00;47;00;18 - 00;47;10;10
Ron Zappolo
But how did they screw that up. I almost used another word. How did they screw that up? Where in the first three innings, if Todd Helton could have been.
00;47;10;12 - 00;47;11;09
Tom Green
Killed.
00;47;11;12 - 00;47;14;07
Ron Zappolo
By a throw coming across the diamond.
00;47;14;10 - 00;47;21;16
Woody Paige
Would it mean he could go down the. The Coors Field is located in the wrong direction.
00;47;21;22 - 00;47;23;23
Ron Zappolo
Pointing the wrong way?
00;47;23;26 - 00;47;24;19
Tom Green
Yes.
00;47;24;22 - 00;47;35;02
Woody Paige
For those kind of games and also for you wanting to look at the mounds, which is the that's or downtown. You don't see the mounds, you don't see downtown. What do you see?
00;47;35;03 - 00;47;43;07
Tom Green
Well, we do have, the term South Park originated from that. And this really did. And that's why we have East Pause when our lefties come in.
00;47;43;07 - 00;47;47;21
Woody Paige
So but that's been the, the Rockies have done everything.
00;47;47;21 - 00;47;49;09
Tom Green
In.
00;47;49;11 - 00;47;52;29
Woody Paige
Possible to screw this up.
00;47;53;01 - 00;47;55;25
Ron Zappolo
We've spent this whole show just by.
00;47;55;28 - 00;47;56;20
Woody Paige
Well we've stayed.
00;47;56;20 - 00;47;58;24
Speaker 5
All these additions.
00;47;58;29 - 00;48;03;18
Woody Paige
We've stayed we we've stayed away from it because people don't really care.
00;48;03;20 - 00;48;05;08
Tom Green
That I think the off season you're.
00;48;05;08 - 00;48;21;06
Woody Paige
Talking about is why people don't really care. And the reason why it's a subject now is, okay, you got two guys, you're going to pick one, and we're going to know in 4 or 5 years whether this was a good signing, because you haven't signed people that were any good. You did sign a guy from Harvard who couldn't.
00;48;21;06 - 00;48;25;01
Woody Paige
Who got you got rid of your best player.
00;48;25;01 - 00;48;32;10
Tom Green
But even if it had been one of those two guys, there's no splash. People don't. They don't know who they are. And it's going to take years for them to have any effect. And at the end of the.
00;48;32;10 - 00;48;56;22
Ron Zappolo
Day, unless the ownership changes the way they view things, it doesn't matter who they are, they really doesn't unless you go out again, at the risk of repeating myself and hire Dave Dombrowski and give him a five year deal for $40 million in the budget. Listen, this is your team. I'm the owner, but you are making every baseball decision.
00;48;56;22 - 00;49;05;29
Ron Zappolo
Now, if you want to spend 50 million bucks, you at least got to run it by me. But other than that, you run it, and I will stay the hell out of the way. If you're not going to do that.
00;49;06;01 - 00;49;06;17
Tom Green
Forget it.
00;49;06;17 - 00;49;13;02
Woody Paige
Why would I? And that's my grinding my gears.
00;49;13;04 - 00;49;14;27
Tom Green
Do you have a good. Can I just say this?
00;49;14;27 - 00;49;16;18
Ron Zappolo
We'll have a brief one after that, I can.
00;49;16;18 - 00;49;17;19
Woody Paige
I do just one.
00;49;17;19 - 00;49;18;22
Ron Zappolo
Minute and.
00;49;18;24 - 00;49;31;25
Woody Paige
Show. I was doing some research the other day about, the ownership, and, I didn't realize is, Enos Stanley crock,
00;49;31;27 - 00;49;33;17
Ron Zappolo
Silent stand names that know him.
00;49;33;17 - 00;49;59;07
Woody Paige
But. Yeah, named for two Hall of Famers and baseball was a gigantic baseball fan. We just kid listening to Saint Louis Cardinals. He owns more franchises. Anybody? He's got seven French. I didn't know there was a women's arsenal, but they've been very successful over the years. And he's got $21 billion in franchises. And guess what? It's worked out okay with his son Josh.
00;49;59;10 - 00;50;20;27
Woody Paige
We have criticize and Arsenal still criticizes staying groggy all the time. We've criticized him about the, nuggets, about the avalanche. We don't care about the rapids. The mammoth people. The mammoth is so on recognizable that the Salt Lake City hockey team just stole.
00;50;20;29 - 00;50;21;19
Tom Green
The.
00;50;21;21 - 00;50;45;01
Woody Paige
Stolen base. Yeah, but cocky should have he he's. That's what's funny. He's biggest fan of baseball. And so he reached out to the Monfort years ago and said, you know, do you want to talk about the possibility that they said, no, not at all. We're not getting rid of it. So you got a guy that's a baseball fan that's got it's worth 40 million.
00;50;45;01 - 00;50;47;00
Ron Zappolo
And a track record of success.
00;50;47;01 - 00;51;08;16
Woody Paige
Yeah. And they won't sell it to him. So people always say, why don't they sell the team? Well, there's a guy there. People go more him to sell the team to the Walmarts. Well, the he is the Walmarts. His wife is. And exactly. We don't I would just assume that the Walmart people that owned the Broncos.
00;51;08;16 - 00;51;09;00
Ron Zappolo
And the Walton.
00;51;09;00 - 00;51;09;15
Tom Green
Penner Group.
00;51;09;15 - 00;51;26;16
Woody Paige
Yeah. You stay with that, do that. You know, you're doing a good job. You are going to have a stadium stay with that. We don't want you screwing up the Rockies here. But Crockett is a baseball fan. He's named for two Hall of Famers, and yet they won't even talk to him about on this.
00;51;26;18 - 00;51;36;22
Ron Zappolo
No, of course not. They're not going to sell their guys like the Monfort. And people that own, sports franchises. They don't buy them to sell them.
00;51;36;25 - 00;51;48;12
Tom Green
Well, they remind me a little bit of Pat Bowlen, though, in that I think they have so much of their value tied up in something they own. But it's not cash rich. And where Pat Bowlen always ran had to run a tight ship. He didn't have excuse.
00;51;48;12 - 00;51;49;17
Woody Paige
For money around the time.
00;51;49;17 - 00;52;02;01
Ron Zappolo
People in Boston want John Henry to sell the Red Sox, and he finally came out and he said, they're an asset. I have a portfolio, I haven't I didn't build this portfolio by selling asset.
00;52;02;06 - 00;52;05;05
Tom Green
Had that go over with Patrick and and Lansdowne.
00;52;05;12 - 00;52;12;20
Ron Zappolo
He wasn't that thrilled about it. But the point is, I don't think Dick and Charlie Monfort have the same type of portfolio as John Henry.
00;52;12;20 - 00;52;36;16
Tom Green
The great teams here are mostly built on the strength of a certain unique individual. Pierre Lacroix was that guy. Mike Shanahan was that guy with Pat Bowlen. You know, you see it. You know for the nuggets it was built on that. The oddity of drafting at 42nd and finding the biggest golden nugget you could ever imagine. But you just you're gonna need that guy.
00;52;36;16 - 00;52;43;02
Tom Green
And are the Rockies going to find that guy? Hire that guy, lure that guy in. It seems unlikely, but.
00;52;43;05 - 00;52;45;02
Ron Zappolo
No, it's not unlikely. The answer is no.
00;52;45;04 - 00;52;48;14
Tom Green
It's less likely than drafting 42nd. Okay.
00;52;48;17 - 00;53;17;22
Ron Zappolo
More. It would be more likely that the New York Giants would fire Brian De ball and replace him with Mike Shanahan, which I thought about while I was shaving today. And I said, you know, if I was John Mara, I'd call Mike Shanahan. Yeah. He's not he's a young 73. I know he wouldn't want to coach against his son, but they could do better than hire another stupid ass coordinator who's never been a head coach and has no track record of success.
00;53;17;22 - 00;53;27;21
Ron Zappolo
Here's what. Hey, we're all older. I'm not going to ages and this and say that Mike Shanahan couldn't coach. What do you think he could come back and coach and be successful.
00;53;27;21 - 00;53;32;01
Woody Paige
What John Elway was trying to bring him back and that that situation or.
00;53;32;01 - 00;53;32;19
Tom Green
Even kind of.
00;53;32;24 - 00;53;42;02
Woody Paige
Kind of changed the direction of the team. And I just I'm stunned. I'm stunned that you would be shaving. You think.
00;53;42;05 - 00;53;44;22
Tom Green
You're about.
00;53;44;24 - 00;53;53;17
Woody Paige
To coach. No. Can you I do I don't care how old you are. I know you play golf all the time. I know you're. But. But you get a life.
00;53;53;21 - 00;53;55;08
Ron Zappolo
I mean, you have a life. You know, I.
00;53;55;10 - 00;53;59;05
Woody Paige
I said, you know, this, this, this, this the life.
00;53;59;05 - 00;54;22;17
Ron Zappolo
I was shaving, which I knew I didn't have to shave to come in here, but I decided to do it anyway. I was shaving, and I do this sometimes because you have a Lexa. It's so great. You can go. Alexa, turn on WFAA and give me just so I can hear what these people are saying. And the guy comes on this morning and he goes buying demo New York accent.
00;54;22;19 - 00;54;42;09
Ron Zappolo
And they've all got to get him out of there. Got to get Joe Shane up in there talking about bringing Bill Belichick back. And I'm thinking have you people follow Bill Belichick in the last couple years. Is that really what you want. And I what Shanahan would be if you're going to hire a 73 year old guy. Don't hire Belichick with the 20 year old girlfriend.
00;54;42;16 - 00;54;47;09
Ron Zappolo
Hire grandpa mike Shanahan because he'll come in and he'll do a good job.
00;54;47;09 - 00;54;49;14
Tom Green
He'll get right back okay.
00;54;49;14 - 00;54;57;16
Woody Paige
That's that's that's Ron Cipolla doing grinding. He's my when he said he had nothing. But when he shakes he always gets soft.
00;54;57;17 - 00;54;58;15
Tom Green
Just making a sandwich.
00;54;58;20 - 00;54;58;28
Ron Zappolo
Yeah.
00;54;58;29 - 00;55;01;08
Tom Green
And I was thinking about the Saint Louis blues power.
00;55;01;09 - 00;55;02;16
Ron Zappolo
But you.
00;55;02;19 - 00;55;02;27
Tom Green
And.
00;55;03;04 - 00;55;05;09
Ron Zappolo
I had this coming. I would bring it on.
00;55;05;09 - 00;55;21;16
Woody Paige
I was watching the nuggets and I was thinking about. So I said to Alexa, is Alexa, is it time for me to go to bed with. And Alexa said, your bed is ready for you to come to bed. No, she did say I got he's like.
00;55;21;19 - 00;55;24;03
Tom Green
Alex, hello.
00;55;24;05 - 00;55;40;13

00;55;50;15 - 00;55;51;06
Ron Zappolo
Hey, you know what?
00;55;51;06 - 00;55;54;27
Speaker 5
Maybe I'll tell your Alexa to pull up after the horn on Spotify.
00;55;54;28 - 00;55;59;02
Ron Zappolo
Maybe we should. Maybe we should get Dick on next week if he'd come on.
00;55;59;02 - 00;56;00;13
Woody Paige
I thought we did.
00;56;00;15 - 00;56;01;13
Speaker 5
Taylor up.
00;56;01;16 - 00;56;02;21
Tom Green
Every week.
00;56;02;24 - 00;56;06;13
Tom Green
How does that work? Right, Natasha, do that again. Alexa can do that.
00;56;06;15 - 00;56;10;15
Speaker 5
Oh, yeah. You could say, like, Alexa, play after the horn on Spotify.
00;56;10;21 - 00;56;11;08
Woody Paige
Like when you go.
00;56;11;14 - 00;56;14;16
Speaker 5
After the Horn Weekend Edition, which we will be filming soon.
00;56;14;19 - 00;56;16;28
Tom Green
That's why Natasha gets the big bucks.
00;56;16;28 - 00;56;18;05
Tom Green
Oh.
00;56;18;07 - 00;56;33;06
Tom Green
Thanks for being a part of this. We we enjoy the mess that it is, but it's a lot of fun. We hope you enjoy it, too. And we hope to see you back here again next week.
