seven o'clock. Good morning, final Jim along with the black guy boy from the Bose Art Miller. Chevrolet York studios, the most trusted name in automobiles. It's why not Wednesday with Town and Wine and Wrigley Field.
You've got something you need to complain about today. Well, today's your day. You can win a model of Town and Wine and it gives you a good Wrigley Field by complaining about whatever is grinding your gears today, world sports daily life, send it to us on the com West team line 970242340. All right, so I'm our rocker support Cody work coming up at eight twenty this morning according to the Denver Post, Jonathan Cooper's going to be there.
We'll see how that all goes. What does there mean? Present because they're in the acclimation period right now, so there's not a whole lot of no contact with anything, but physically will be there going to the Denver Post. What does that mean?
I mean, yeah, it means he's just going to how much will we participate? I don't know. But I think because we've talked talking about my bed. I'm a stray keystroke there.
Apparently. He's been around the building the last couple of days going to the post. He was there. Obviously he was there yesterday.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I mean M. Sanjata.
So he is there yesterday. It remains going to pose unclear if he will practice in a full capacity and to what degree he'll be around the team. So Sean Pay will talk with the media today. So you know, that's going to be first question.
I should be and absolutely should be. I just said there are times that the Denver media is. You know, city wreck softball? I guess yeah.
Hey Sean. How's your first day practice? That was great. And then they spent 10 minutes talking about other stuff instead of Hey, what exactly is he doing?
I have a feeling today, though. That will not be today. I hope I think it's going to be the first thing he gets asked. Has to be has to be.
So what's here? So what's this organization's approach with him going forward? What he's here? What does that mean in terms of his involvement going forward?
I just think it's a bad look. It's a really bad look. You, like I said, you you were elected to close him off from from everybody on the team. But that but having him there physically is a really bad idea.
Obviously day one. I'm okay if he's been around the facility the last couple of days. But when camp starts, he needs to not be there. Yep.
He has business there to take care of. And that's why he was there. Fine. But once cam starts, he needs to not he should not be there.
I agree. I just think it it sends it sends the wrong message. It really does. And you also have Michael Wilhoyt.
Remember Michael Wilhoyt, the assistant coach? Oh, yeah. They got in the fight with the cop at the I a they rehired him. We'll talk more about that.
Not a good look either. They charges were eventually dropped in the whole deal. But man, there's still a civil case going on with police officer that didn't tune him up for you. Allegedly punched him.
Yeah. And the police officer's officer suing over the injuries that occurred in that whole deal. I forgot that Wilhoyt got tasered and drove off. Of course he did.
Now, so they take all of what we were talking about yesterday about how they have so much built up goodwill and be like, all right, well, we're going to do away with that. You know, they had a brand new facility yesterday and I just I got to have both together. One's bad enough. Both of them together.
And I guess in the defense of Michael Wilhoyt, because you're going to be devil's act, you got to be devil advocate here. They did drop all the charges. There are no criminal charges on the steel, but still it's not. It's still not I'd be quite super reluctant to hire him back.
I don't know if I don't know if I would. Yeah. I don't know after that. I don't know if it could.
I got to know there's innocent telecommiguity and no charges in this that and the other. And they're still this is not a right. This is a privilege type situation. Yeah.
But that one doesn't it bothers me, but not to the level of job and Cooper agreed. Well, both things are bad. Charges were dropped on Wilhoyt. OK, doesn't mean that was a great decision to hire him back.
But what it does is it paves the way for Jonathan Cooper to come back if his charges and drop outs. And that's yeah. Yeah, it's not the way I believe they should have handled that. I'm fine.
And I know there's somebody out there that doesn't realize or hasn't listened to the show the last three years. I understand Sean Watson and Cleveland Brown and I'm not a fan of it. Yeah. So let's see how it's you've you been very upfront about that.
I just I just feel like having him around the facilities is not a good idea. It's a horrible idea. It's not a good idea. It's a terrible idea at this point in time.
Stay away till it gets gets resolved and then you go from there and then you decide, OK, if he's exonerated, do you feel like you're not? Do you feel like the backlash? What's the backlash going to look like if he is exonerated? I mean, he's guilty.
Well, that's going to solve itself itself. Then you have to then you have to weigh how much damage control do we have to do? How much do we have? Is it worth bringing him back?
You mentioned a thing right there damage control. I was just thinking, which relationship do you value more? The one with your fans and all of the women or Jonathan Cooper. I'd say my fans and particularly female fans.
You'd hope the way it's looking right now, the off-duty police officers and female fans are right there underneath Jonathan Cooper and the Wilhoy character. Yeah, I just don't think there's any go back to Wilhoy. I get it. They drop the charges.
He went to a diversion program, but you still barely punched a cop. You still punched him. How many guys out there that are qualified to be NFL assistants that aren't have never punched a cop? There's plenty.
There's there's plenty. So we'll talk to Cody work about this coming up after bed, 8 20. Also, we'll talk with new for number girls basketball coach Lindsey Shaw. That's head you right at 7 40 in softball season.
Fast approaching for high school softball teams, Grand Junction coach Scott Els will join us this morning on the program as well. And as your camp, I got a camp this week, I camp. Okay. I have your camp.
Very good. So we'll have that coming up with the program today. It is one about a Wednesday with talent. Why no regular fields I mentioned.
Got something you want to complain about. I just brought those fans with the Jonathan Cooper thing. I just I'd like to get some reaction on this. Are you okay with him being there?
I mean, if you are, you are. I'm not going to sit here and berate you because I'm because we've already expressed how we feel, right? Yep. And if you feel differently, text us and then you already know we're probably not going to agree through on that.
But give us the reason why you feel like that's okay. Yeah, why are you fine with it? Why are you fine with it? Should they party company with him at this point?
I don't know about that. I do believe you're better off letting the legal process work its way through. But that doesn't mean you have to have him out of training camp. That doesn't mean that has to happen.
Yeah, because I mean, really, what's the worst look for for the team is they have what's potentially an abuser at practice day one or they cut a guy who was innocent, but optically look bad. Yeah. Like, I mean, what's what's really the worst that happens if they just release him the next day? Like, you know what, we're not we're not even going to be where you put yourself in a position or this, you know, you're maybe going to get a guy that's like, now I don't know if I well, if you're going to get a guy that's hesitant to sign with you because you cut potential abusers, then you don't want that guy either.
If you're talking about character and there's a, you know, Sean Tate mentioned this. There's a bar that we have from an ownership standpoint, head coach organizationally, there's a bar that we have and expectation that we have that's very high. If they cut him, I wouldn't have had a problem with it. When does that apply?
That's my question. I guess my thing is typically this is how it works though. Guy commits crime. Guy goes through legal process.
Team decides the outcome of that legal process. What do you do? I'm okay with that because that's been traditionally how it's played out. This goes to show you talent gets you that extra benefit of the doubt.
Absolutely. In a regular industry hours, you're gone. You don't get that benefit. You're gone.
Like where does that high bar apply? It's apparently not punching a copity. Let's just start though with him not being a camp. Let's just go with that first.
Yeah, that doesn't just don't have him there. If you weren't willing to commit to just going, okay, we're done here, right from the jump, then don't have him a camp then. It feels like there's a little word we're all in here, we support him. And there's that fine line between the organization supporting a player, but also you're supporting a player.
They got accused of physically assaulting his girlfriend choked her out. Is that the that's that bar? If that bar's supposed to be a high bar, that's that I don't want you definition of high bar is. Yeah, what exactly do you have to do then?
Yeah, I to warrant some sort of team punishment. It's just I'm sorry, taking his paycheck, 25 grand or whatever. That's not that's not that's not that's not nearly enough. Yeah, I like I said, if they would have cut him right after I would have been okay with that.
It was a problem probably the right thing to do, but they didn't. And so here we are. Yeah, but you're going to make it worse by having him a training camp. You're already under some scrutiny here because well, maybe you should have.
Knowing what you know about this case. True. Yeah, I mean, it felt was we don't know and he maybe shoved her whatever we don't know. He said she said thing.
Okay, then that's really kind of more where yeah, let's let a little play a little bit. Let's see where it's very verbal. Yeah, it's very great on his part, but if he shoved her, that's not that's not okay. Not okay.
But what he apparently did is less. Okay, he was even less. Okay. Laying hands on woman's never.
Okay, never situation where that is appropriate ever. But if there was a little back and forth of we don't know exactly what happened, what transpired. There's not physical evidence. You know what I'm saying?
You don't believe the victim. Yes. But you need to provide that. Okay, let's look into this.
Let's make sure we're making the right decision and have the right outcome here for everybody. I'm not naive. I know. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yeah, let's just make sure we have the right. But this doesn't feel like there's there's there's not that in this. There's there's sometimes that stuff like this happens and you get the vibe just kind of reading everything between the lines that the accused is not so much a an abuser, but he's a walking dollar sign.
That is that has happened. This doesn't feel like that. No, because she went to the hospital's examined by a nurse and there's like a bunch of hypopsies. Yeah.
And there were all the things there. So many amateur CSI watchers. Yeah. With the news that she'd been strangled.
She didn't do that to herself. And so it's pretty damning. Yeah. You know, but like I said, I'm not naive enough to think that every single time this happens, the victim is always right about what they're accusing you.
You want to believe them first and then you want to look at the evidence. But usually in the that dude's a walking dollar sign cases, it's and we waited five or six days to report or go to that. Like this was this was the night of the when the incident happened. Yeah.
And that's usually not a all right. I'm going to frame this guy. And then he went and tried to get her. Oh, come on.
That's just you know. Yeah. Let's just work this out. That's just rough charges after he was told stay away from her.
Yeah. Not I'm hurt the last time I tried to work it out. Well, yeah. Yeah, didn't go very well.
Did it? Yeah. So I just so bad. Look, look, this is a broadcast fan.
I'm just disappointed that they that he's going to be out there. And I'm just curious, while what's your take on it? Should he be out there at training camp? Even if he's just standing there on the sideline.
You know, right now, it's just the acclimation period. So there's there's meetings and it's not it's not going to be all he's rolling the pads on today and going at it like the good like the good old days. But if he's that sarcastically, the good old days to me, if he's even wearing the practice jersey and shorts and it looks like any other teammate, that's the first loss of the season to me. That's not that's not how should I've been handled in my opinion.
Yeah. Yeah. All right. You got some thoughts on that today in the system, combo, same line, nine, seven, zero, two, four, two, three, four, 40.
All right. Also, Rocky's lose a heartbreaker last time alive. I mean, he's off four four errors. Bull pin doesn't get it done.
Lorenzen wasn't great, but good enough last night. Me got hit around, but he wasn't terrible. He gave up three runs, but he was good enough. He was good enough for them to get away last night.
Zanderbo Garts comes up with the sacrifice fly to win the game. As a Rockies, what's going to be losing another tough game for Padres. All right. 7 17 time right now for what's happening.
All right. Four errors and a struggling bullpen led to an eight to seven loss of the Rockies and San Diego to tonight. The Padres enter Bogart's had a sacrifice fly on the bottom of the ninth that scored the winning run. It was caught up at a drop.
So the 11th and the last 15 games, San Diego right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. had a night. He went five for five. Think about that.
The major league level, you know, do it for two. Okay. Five for five with two RBI with Rockies left fielder Mickey Moniac getting a two run home run for a 17th of the season. Colorado third baseman Willie Castro ripped his solo shot for his 11th of the years.
The Rockies played this afternoon at Pekko Park for giving him the team sports. Newark starts at one third. I was watching the TV broadcast a little bit last night. They were talking about how weird a year for Nando Tatis is having to wear like his lug is at 400.
His OPS is under 750, I think, coming into the night, which is he's a home run hitter. Right. But his power numbers are so scant. But his hard hit percentage is off the charts.
Yeah. His exit Vilo is ridiculous and his launch angle is like negative five. It's so wild the type of year he's having. He'll rocket a ball at somebody's knees.
It's just it just can't get it up in the air. Yeah. Then he goes five for five. Then he goes five for five.
The Broncos veterans reported to camp Tuesday and got their first look at the new facilities of Broncos Park, the new $175 million practice facility received rave reviews from all Pro Guard Gwen miners got the park underground. You know, I get to practice my truck to be 150 degrees. Like that's a nice little thing. I mean, the locker room is close.
The food's right there. The weight room's right there. Feels right here. Ease of everything is just incredible.
Denver begins camp today in the Denver Post reports that Ed Druscher Jonathan Cooper is expected to be there. He was arrested twice and June was charged with assaulting his girlfriend. And as a court day August 31 also a campus assistant defensive coach Michael Wilhoyt, who was charged with allegedly punching a place officer DIA last spring. Denver fired Wilhoyt after the incident.
The felony charges were downgraded to a misdemeanor in criminal mischief. They charges were dropped in June after Wilhoyt agreed to a diversion program. The Broncos rehired him. The police officer is suing Wilhoyt in civil court for injuries in that incident.
Former Memphis Gresley and Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Yager is joining the Denver Nuggets coaching staff. 104.3 the fans says that Yager will be the latest assistant to Denver head coach David Adelman. Yager joined our lead Memphis to a 147-99 record in three seasons before posting a 98-148 mark with Sacramento after getting fired by the Kings. He's been an assistant in the coach in Philadelphia at Milwaukee and a consultant in Cleveland.
Adelman led the Nuggets to a 54 win season last year, but the Nuggets flamed out the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota. Also today, I know if you caught the news on this about Kyle Shanahan, of course the son of Broncos Super Bowl and coach Mike Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers coach, who was injured in the car accident, Kyle Shanahan is now admitting that he was the one that fought, that it was a clerical error that on the police report, because the police report said that the driver was at fault. The other driver was at fault. The lady that was driving the other vehicle was at fault and she was the one that crossed over and hit him.
Kyle Shanahan is now admitting he was the one who was on his phone and caused the accident. And she was the innocent party on that. Two weeks ago yesterday was when that accident was. And oh yeah, that's right.
That's a clerical error on our side. Our man. Are you serious? Like the dude was looking for his phone and he drove into the other lane of oncoming traffic.
But neither. Nobody he didn't get cited though. He's still getting cited for it. He should have been cited for regardless whether he was the person that caused the accident or was the victim.
This feels like a, hey coach, you know, you keep this under wraps. He'll keep this under wraps. Like kind of feels like that doesn't a little bit. Like, you know, we'll just, you know, we'll just got to keep this quiet.
Yeah. But he admitted that he's he was the one that actually caused the accident. And fortunately, he was OK. Thank you.
And I feel bad for her because these reports coming out that, you know, even though we don't know her name, it's like, I didn't what I didn't do this. She was hit by the San Francisco 49ers head coach while he was looking for his cell phone. And now it's her fault. Yeah, for two weeks.
Yeah. All right. North Fork miners football team going to the new signal caller ahead of the upcoming season, Braden Florence graduated and took his five passing and 10 rushing touchdowns and last year with him. Now taking snaps under center is Tate Carver, a resilient multi-sport athlete at North Fork head coach Curtis Nes-Carver has gained a lot of football IQ over the years.
Tate battled some injuries for us last year. He was our starting safety at the beginning of the year. And then he started out wide receiver through that experience of playing a lot of RC rep prepared him to take over the helm there at quarterback. It's fun to see kids develop.
Cakes just a hard working kid. Miners open up the season August 28 against the Aspen skiers and then it's a look at what's happening. All right. So coming up, we'll go back to rock the Rockies lost last night.
Wow. And two run late in that game and open, can protect it. Four errors. Four errors in that game.
So Rockies will wrap it up today with the Padres. We'll talk more about the Rockies coming up in just a moment. One night on Wednesday with Telling a line of Wiggly Field, your chance to win today. Buck anything you want to complain about today?
Get off your chest. That's pretty good. I mean, if there are parking spots that are labeled after a nearby business and you don't work there, they'll park there. I don't really care if you park there as long as there are some open for me at six o'clock.
But also don't stand in the others. This is here. Yeah. Okay.
All right. 90 minutes ago. Okay. I'm just curious.
I mean, they moved eventually once they realized I was primed to run them over. But you know, they were standing there. Yeah. Yeah.
That's fine. Like, talk to your friends. I don't care. But do we'll work here or somewhere else?
People work here? No, don't work here. That's the point. Oh, there are people that are just randos?
Yeah. Like, if they work here, I probably wouldn't have hit them. I'm going to come up and please. I'm a little happy.
Yeah. You know, skinned an E there. Yeah. Send a message.
Yeah. Exactly. I'll brush it up and open it. Yeah.
Open it up and open it up. Yeah. All right. 724.
It's one about a Wednesday with Telling a line of Wiggly Field on the Jim Davis Show on the team's sports network. All across the Western slope. Yeah. I listen every day.
It's the Jim Davis Show on the team's sports network. Every day. Welcome back 726, Jim and the Buckeye boy. All right.
After dropping two out of three to the leaders in the Nal Central Milwaukee, Rocky's had a day off and we went after Petco Park to take on the Padres. We're a couple of games out of the wild card in the National League. And so the Rockies had Michael O'Rinzen on the bump. And he wasn't bad last night.
Was it wasn't great? No. Was it terrible? No.
Four innings. Yes, he gave up eight hits. Gave up three runs. A couple strikeouts.
You'd like to see more length from him than that than four innings. But we've seen worse from him, correct this season. Oh, yeah. This one.
So the Rockies bullpen, though, unfortunately, they go out and they end up giving up five runs last night, but the four errors were killed the Rockies last night. So Hunter Goodman, you know, in the bottom of the ninth makes a throw to second base. The bounce in front of his equal tow bar. And then they have a couple of walks a little bit of bases that led to Xander Bogart's ending a sacrifice fly as they get the win eight to seven.
The Padres beat the Rockies last night. Rockies lost on two walkoffs when they were out in San Diego. Remember they got swept back in April, the four game set out there. When they asked if a walkoff's there, they lose a walkoff on this one.
They had a good game for Mickey Montiak, a two run home run for 17th of the season. Willie Castro was playing third last night. Castro hits a home run, but by the errors, Julian with an air Goodman has the throwing air. McCarthy commits an air in the outfield as well.
And just a rough night for the Rockies in terms of their defense. And Warren Schafer, I don't care. I don't care what level you commit for is four errors in the game. You're probably going to lose.
So maybe the junior college baseball world series, right? Yeah, you could do that before getting it out first inning and still win by the run. And still find a way to win by the run rule. But Lorenz, you know, the eight hits.
So you know, Warren Schafer, Rocky's manager said his power is inefficient behind accounts as pitch count rose quickly. They fouled off a lot of balls, but I thought he badly got us into the fifth inning. But the bullpen gave up three earned runs, five in total over four and a third. You know, so something to think about here.
Jimmy Hurgit, who we were we were hailing for a while. How like how good Jimmy Hurgit is. Is he our end his last six appearances? You know what?
Is he our is? It's got to be like north of 10. How about north of 21 21? I got nine four.
Is he our is jump from three point five to six point six seven? Yikes. Not good at all. The rocks have dropped 11 now of their last 15 games.
But they have a two run lead late. You can't you can't hold it. And then coming in Mason Miller, whose name is kind of where people view the Padres. Some of you that has potential buyers.
Some view them as sellers. Oh, it's really kind of open the air with their ownership situation, right? Right. And Mason Miller, obviously, is one of those names.
We got the win last night in relief. One of those names that's popped up a lot as they play the Padres could potentially trade. So Rockies will wrap it up. It's a just a quick two game set up head kill park.
They'll play this afternoon. Gabriel Hughes, the rookie for the Rockies, who looks to be along the chase don't lander part of the future in regard to the rotation. He will get the start. Oh, and two, but he's the RA is under three right now.
He's pitched really, really, really well, for the most part since being brought up from AAA. So we don't know who's going to start from the Padres. And then the Rockies are off tomorrow. They'll host the Kansas City Royals for three games set at Coors Field beginning on Friday night.
We'll have all those games right here on the team sports network. And then the Rockies welcome in the East leaders, the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. Oh, that'll go well. Yeah, so go great.
All right, 731. Jim along with the Buckeye boy. Just watch the Cooper expected to be at camp. Should he be there from Dylan?
Cooper does not need to be there. One of my guy gas station yesterday next to me while getting gas filling up his truck. Well, it's running and on cell phone and smoking a cigarette. Dude, are you trying to blow us all up?
Was ridiculous to see. Hey, can you do? Can you do? Why just have the stick of dynamite?
Well, yeah. Did he have a piece of stick carpet to run around on out there too? Jeez. It's incredible.
Well, I'm going to go get some gas somewhere else if I see that. Yeah, I think I'm good. I think I've got enough gas to get another gas station and yeah. Wow.
It's right there. There's the site. Don't use your cell phone while you're pumping gas. This guy.
I don't care. Oh, how many signs say no turn on red? No, no, no smoking. That's the middle finger to the world thing.
Yeah, I can do whatever I want to do. And don't blow yourself up at your own house then. Exactly. If you want to do that, then go do that.
Thank you, Dylan. Good check today. All right. See, Dylan right there.
Yeah. Well, we'll ask about what Jonathan Cooper. Analytum. One about a Wednesday submission today.
It's topic. It's the other topic. Got it and got out. That's a perfect example of what we're looking for.
All right. He's a pro. He's got it. Dylan's a super duper P1 guy.
No doubt about that. All right. Let's uh, well, let's bring a sound check this morning. Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?
I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen. Oh, there's been a lot of sit down interviews because there's a lot of podcasts and a lot of TV channels, a lot of uh outlets for people to get the word out about whatever. Well, I don't think Michael Abar is going to sit down for seldom any time soon.
He is without question the worst general manager in college sports. Also nice. Even close. This is such a staggering amount of ineptitude in the job he's had for Bill Belichick, right?
It's the arrogance. It's the abrasiveness. I mean, there's a lot of qualities that have brought people the wrong way for a long time, but Bill Belichick has been one of the people who has been in his corner and always. And the fact that Bill Belichick trusted him to have the most important job and it has blown up in his face and North Carolina's face spectacularly, right?
And so we got to this point where, remember, they made this pivot after a fiasco of a year one where they win four games, which from North Carolina, they're never that bad, but they were last year. So they pivoted from going all in the portal, which almost everybody does. And now they go to high school recruits and now they've taken two steps back or maybe three. And now we get this latest news, which honestly, it's surprising, but it probably shouldn't be given Lombardi's track record.
I don't know if you're a North Carolina fan, you're like, we cannot get right. That's about as much as the murder death killers are going to get from any national reporter on anyone. Yeah. How about the ineptitude is staggering.
Talk about not pulling any punches. Wow. Yeah. Tell us how you really feel, Bruce.
Jeez. Hey, and Bruce Feldman will go after guys too if he feels it necessary. I don't know if I've ever heard him go after someone that vociferously. That's wild.
That's a national guy on the national, from the athletic, from the national publication. Why didn't you ever heard anybody take a run at a real Belichick guy like that? Like, I can't, I can't think the last time. Never.
Sharks are out. Sharks are definitely definitely out. And, you know, for Belichick, I mean, this is, this is the guy that he brought in. Yeah.
His hand pick guy. And, you know, he's on administrative leave Lombardi is, but let those guys, he's gonna get fired. He's gonna get fired. Yeah.
It's probably over with. But now what does this do? What's this for Belichick? Because he's already on the hot seat.
That's supposed to be on. He's got to be if he's not. I don't know what's wrong with North Carolina. He's got to be on the hot seat.
And now this guy that did his work so much lockstep with him is going to be gone. Where does this all go for him? Back to his boat. Possibly.
Hopefully alone. Hopefully. No offense intended to. That's just with him.
I, I'll he's done by doing this without all the things he's done is damaged the reputation. He was cantankerous and kind of a bully, but still the greatest coach at football. Like a year and a half ago. And now he's a punchline.
He's a laughing stock. He's a joke. I mean, we might make fun of Bella check where the demeanor of the press conference is all that kind of stuff. It's a guy here.
Yeah, the cut off sweatshirt. But but it's still under the guise of but he's still the greatest coach ever. He's still a yeah, he's still one of the greatest coaches of all time. Now it's look at this move.
Yeah, it's because more on. Oh boy. You're a North Carolina football fan. There's not there was not many of you probably anyway.
But if you are. They're still got Jordan. That's what they're thinking. Yes.
So got Jordan worthy. Yeah, so so got basketball. Mr. Bisky.
Dean Smith. That's good things. Yeah. Not North Carolina.
Just not Bill Belichick. Exactly. All right. It is one about a Wednesday with talent.
Why don't you cry about it? Can send us your wines today on the com West team line 97024 to 1340. We're going to be here. Why don't we do like to talk about Jim Davis show on Colorado sports leader.

She was also the coach at Longmont High School last season. Lindsey Shaw joins us. Lindsey Prichate the time. How you doing?
Good. How are you doing? Doing fine. So everything all moved from the front range over here getting settled in from a personal standpoint to that's I mean that comes first right getting getting settled back into living here on the western slope.
Yeah. I tell you what it's hot. It's hot on the West low by for job how hot it was. But I'm happy to be back.
That's for sure. Well, you'll react when I think you'll no problem with that. You'll be able to get used to it once again. So what has it been like in terms of being back at Fortamonton?
Where I mentioned you coach with Michael Wells there before you coached it at the Longmont High School. Well, but what's been like? And that's a little bit like a homecoming right coming back to the coach at Fortamontonon. Yeah, it really has.
Honestly, I've kind of been going through some like the Jaguu moments. So it's been super cool. Just to be back and be around former athletes. We went to CMU camp this year and so had a bunch of former athletes that played under Michael Wells and I and they came up and watched.
So it's been really cool. Just have their support and parent support. So again, a little day, but it's been super fun and I'm excited to go into my first full year. That's for sure.
Now, a little day, as well, because you played from average. So it's familiar with the Browns and Arena pretty well. So Lindsey Shaw with us today, last year, the Fortamonton McGurls under Jeff Johnson went 15 to 9, 18 to the Southwestern League. They won the Southwestern League the year before last year, lost a heartbreaker and the 6-8 tournament to our battle west 46 to 43.
So when you take, we look at this team from last year, you've got a couple of really good pieces back. Certainly the cupboard is not there with Olivia Hopkins, talented freshman, led this team in scoring last year in almost 13 points per game. Haley Wagner, of course, the daughter of a senior coach Taylor Wagner, that you obviously know very well. 11.4 points per game last year, leaving rebounder for the Wildcats.
Nice to have those two players back in your first year coaching Wildcats. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I'm super lucky to be able to coach both of them. And then we've got a bunch of other returners that stepped up over the summer and some incoming freshmen.
So I think we've got a really special group coming in. We've got a ton of potential and we're going to just work our tails off to try to reach that potential and exceed it. Lindsey Shaw, coach, the Fortamonton McGurls basketball team with us. As I mentioned, Olivia Hopkins is going to be a bit of a nail sophomore.
Haley Wagner is in her senior season. You know, the two leaders for this basketball team last year from a statistical standpoint, Haley, definitely from a, I think, just an emotional standpoint that toughness she brings to the court, Lindsey. What have you kind of asked those two players to do in regard to up and lead this basketball team going forward? Yeah, they've done a really good job so far.
One thing I asked those two and it trickles down to all of us is always having great energy, attitude, and effort. Haley has done a good job of just stepping up from a leadership standpoint. You mentioned she brings just a toughness to her on both ends of the floor, which is huge. And then Olivia, I'm asking her to look this for a little bit more.
She passes up some really good looks for her. So just being super aggressive in that regard and getting after it defensively. Lindsey Shaw, coach of the Fortamonton girls basketball team with us, and a player that got some time last year, Nariya Lewatua. She was a good bench player last year for Jeff Johnson.
Kind of talk about her and some of the other players that you have back that saw significant time last year. Yeah, so Nairya had a really good summer. She played some club ball too with Olivia and a few other girls. She's kind of a spark plug for us.
So defensively, she can get after it and she's kind of undersized, but she knows how to use her size to get to the rim, which is good. To knock down threes, we've got Addie, cut show coming back. She'll be another senior that's going to kind of bring her leadership standpoint for us. We angle her, so she's long and athletic.
We got Laney, she can shoot the rock. Like we just have a ton of pieces coming back that we should be able to piece some stuff together. Boston Smith can't forget her. I can go down the list with everybody.
That group played a lot of ball together. I'm not only with Fruit of Monument, but part of a little club. So they got some good experience going out of the state too and getting after it that way. You know, Laney, as a freshman played in 16 games last year, average two points per game.
Of course, older sister was a really good player for the Fruit of Money with Girls basketball team. So like so long with Olivia Hopkins and Ayer, we got a couple of sophomores, some young talent that's already going to help you, but also players are going to be there down the road. And so that's great. We have those underclassmen are able to contribute right from the jump, isn't it?
Oh, absolutely. Like our potential is pretty high, especially with us being so young. So I'm expecting our seniors to kind of set the groundwork for us, a good foundation of what our expectations are. And then just for those underclassmen, I mean, our sophomore group is super solid.
So if we can just kind of build on them and then we've got some incoming freshmen coming up that I think will compete. So our future is pretty bright for Fruit of basketball. Fruit of Money Girls basketball, Coach Lindsey Shaw with us. What are some of the differences maybe from what Jeff was doing, what Jeff was doing, what Jeff Johnson was running, and what's your running in terms of systems?
What are some of the things your teams had to really learn this summer during Mesa Camp and during some of these other opportunities to, as you head towards the start of your first full season, what are some of those changes that you bring to the table for this basketball team? The biggest thing that we're trying to learn this summer is playing defense in the half court. I know teaching a little bit different stuff as far as defensive principles go. So if we can get after it defensively, offense is going to come.
We'll play more of a positionless offensive system, but we're really trying to harp on the defensive energy and effort. And then offense will just kind of flow into it. We want to try to play fast and move to free, but that starts on the defensive end. So that's kind of our main focus for this spring when I first got the job and then the summer.
All right. Well, Lindsey, appreciate the time. Thank you so much. We'll be talking to you, of course, when basketball season starts.
Thanks again for joining us and enjoy what little tiny bit is the summer's left for for everybody before school starts. Yep. I'm excited. Thanks for having me.
Take care. Lindsey Shaw, Coach of the Fruit of Money Girls basketball team former Maverick basketball player with us on the program. All right, 748, Chim along with the Buckeye boy from the Bose Art Miller, Chevrolet Buick Studios, Todd. Drivers of past you on the left, they neither quickly make a right hand turn and force you to slow down or cut over to the exit off of the interstate or highway.
Yeah, it's like an affront to their manhood to have to wait for three seconds. Yeah, just do it. Just get. Yeah, get.
I'm going to turn. Okay. Just get behind me. Mm hmm.
Yeah. They have to be first. Yeah. It's a good one, Todd, because I've lost track of many times I've seen that happen.
I told you we told you last week I had one between grand and the highway on 28 road, which is like nine feet guy who went from behind me around me on the left to make a right hander. Like, first of all, there were three streets you could have turned on to go back the other way because he'd followed me for he was behind me for a little. He wouldn't say he was behind me for a while. Yeah, on grand.
Like you had 19th and 21st. So too, you could have absolutely gone back this other direction somewhere earlier, but you have plenty of opportunity, but no, you had to wait till this moment. I hope you step on a Lego barefoot. All right.
So that's why I went to Wednesday with talent. Why don't we feel that you got something you want to complain about to send it to us on the Commonwealth steam line 970 to 1430 also didn't propose reporting the Jonathan Cooper will be it. Bronco's training camp. He was there yesterday when veterans reported he's been around the facilities the last couple of days.
No, no, no, no, no, no, we don't know what that means in terms of is he going to participate in everything? We don't know what that looks like yet as a Bronco's go through the acclimation process. Start training camp. Thank you and I just shouldn't be there.
I agree with what's going on right now. He just shouldn't be there. So you can send us your thoughts on the Commonwealth steam line 970 to 141340. All right.
Remember, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey did not dispute the notion that the SEC might go break away and do their own thing with college football? Yeah. Well, it's big 10 media day or days this week. Tony Petiti, commissioner of the Big 10, who was kind of learning to lean into the on field rival rates like they went from being bros.
They were in this together. They were the two big dogs to all right, we're now competing again. We're now in the big 10s been more kind to the big 12 the ACC and there's been a better relationship there because they realize they're going to need them for the health of the sport. I don't think the SEC understands that they just don't get that or they just believe it's not the case.
