0:07.8

with LeBron James, Chris Bosch and Duane Wade, set the NBA ablaze.

You know, having an opportunity to team up with the best trio to ever play the game of basketball

0:50.6

Had NFL network on in the background a little earlier, Denver Broncos full-go of training camp.

0:56.7

Basically, every team will, I think, have reported by Friday and by the weekend will be in full practice mode.

1:03.4

So I'm fired up. I'm ready to go. I know you guys are ready to go. The time is now. We got a lot going on, right?

1:12.7

We got holdouts. We got guys going on pop. We're going to dive into it all for the next month, you know,

1:19.9

leading up the training camp or excuse me, leading up to the regular season, a little over a month to the regular season.

1:25.2

1:34.0

And it made me reevaluate something I missed on.

1:38.6

Vic Fangio said some stuff about his rookie quarterback that, you know, at first, and I've been, I've been hard on VIX, the wrong word.

1:46.6

I just, when you hire an old school defensive coach and everything's trending in one specific way, it made me again, take a step back and reevaluate some things which, you know,

1:58.3

strengths and weaknesses of just coaches in general. And we'll dive into that. Tyree Kill turns out he's not going to get suspended at all. And, you know, just give my thoughts on that.
