00:00The Colorado football and Deion Sanders plan to issue fines to players for misconduct.
00:05Let's pretend this is true for a second.
00:09Some fines include the following.
00:12I'm demanding a coach doing this before NIL and laughing.
00:17Late to practice, $500.
00:20No show.
00:22I guess, is that a problem, guys?
00:24Just no showing practice?
00:26$2,500.
00:28Late to meeting or film.
00:30$400.
00:31No show meeting and film.
00:34$2,000.
00:35So it's all a bunch of late to this and no show that.
00:39You know, it's like late to conditioning, $1,000.
00:41No show conditioning, $1,500.
00:43Late to treatment, $1,000.
00:45No show treatment, $1,500.
00:46The two big ones are violation of team rules anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500.
00:53Public or social misconduct.
00:56Which I feel like public or social misconduct.
00:59I feel like the authorities might get involved in that too.
01:02Nevertheless, it costs you anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000 if you're a Colorado Buffalo
01:07football player.
01:08I feel like much like it is in the NFL, having uniform fines for these violations is really
01:13unfair to the guys that don't make as much money as the guys that...
01:21That's why I think is everybody getting NIL money on the Colorado team.
01:25They are.
01:25I mean, it's almost like...
01:28It changes every year.
01:29But I think like the base salary, if you want to call it that, or the average amount that
01:35offensive linemen might be making on a named team is $200,000 or so.
01:40Okay, okay.
01:41So, but...
01:41It's two points like steep fines.
01:43I guess those are the guys who can least afford that.
01:45So, yeah, they better be...
01:46Like, you guys can least afford to screw up.
01:49So, you gotta...
01:50You might be...
01:50You might not be able to afford it monetarily, but you can also least afford to screw up already
01:55because of your stature on this football team.
01:58So, we're not going to have a graduated fine system for you guys.
02:01Do you read anything into this?
02:02It's like Deion's having a problem with discipline inside his program.
02:05No, I think he's probably trying to run it more like an NFL team.
02:08All right, you guys are professionals now.
02:10This is how we're going to do it.
02:11Yeah.
02:11And that...
02:12I guess what I would say is I wouldn't read it into it specifically with Deion that he's
02:18having a problem.
02:19I think that you're probably going to start to have more and more problems in college
02:22football with guys who aren't tied to their program.
02:26The coach doesn't have as much control over him as he used to.
02:29So, one way I can exert some control here is by fining you guys.
02:33If you don't like me...
02:36Back in the day, if you didn't like your head coach, you're kind of limited in your options.
02:41And you can only get away with transferring once and you're going to have to wait a year
02:44and everything else.
02:45Where now, if they don't like Deion, they can just get the hell up out of there and
02:48why am I going to listen to you anyway?
02:50So, he's trying to get some institutional control on him.
02:53Yeah, I guess.
02:54I guess.
02:54I'm just wondering if guys are going to be like, I don't want to go to a program where
02:57I've got to pay fines.
02:57I'll go somewhere where I don't have to.
02:59Yeah, I think the one thing that I like is the way that Signetti and Calvin Sampson
03:03have operated in the era of NIL is, all right, if you're the kind of guy, this is how Deion
03:09would take it if he's treating it like Calvin Sampson or Kurt Signetti.
03:12All right, well, if you're the kind of guy that doesn't want to be held accountable,
03:15then we don't want you on the team anyway.
03:16Exactly.
03:16You know, so there's, man, you can do a lot with players that don't, they're not all across
03:23the board, five-star recruits or what have you, but by getting the right kinds of guys
03:27into your program in this era where all these other teams are trying to slap a team together
03:32every single year, that screening for the right kinds of guys can probably give you
03:38a big leg up.
03:39Yeah, and that's what Signetti did.
03:40That's a huge part of what he did.
03:42All right, so my question, Seth, do we need a fine system for Sports Radio 610?
03:47Do we need a kangaroo court of some sort here or fines to address in-studio issues, on-air
03:57issues?
03:59I would say yes, we do.
04:01Okay, okay, because I have some ideas.
04:03Okay.
04:05I'm thinking about people who have wronged me now, and I'm trying to think, yeah, yeah,
04:08we do, yeah.
04:09Crumbs on the studio floor, $100.
04:13I come in here sometimes, there's crumbs all over the studio floor.
04:16If we're going to do that, I feel like we should have a little mini-vac in the studio.
04:21Can we do that?
04:22I would approve to that.
04:23Yeah.
04:24I would approve of that.
04:25I'm usually not eating solid food in the studio.
04:27Yep.
04:27I guess I do at times, though.
04:29I would submit.
04:29I might be guilty of this.
04:30I would submit that we keep that fine, and if we provide a vacuum for people, it should
04:34be $1,000.
04:35Yeah, okay.
04:36Because we put the vacuum cleaner in there, and then it's $1,000 fine.
04:39If you don't mini-vac in your crumbs up.
04:41With vacuum, $1,000.
04:42Okay.
04:44Similarly, dirty coffee mugs left in the studio.
04:47There's no crime in that.
04:49I think that should be 100% allowed all the time.
04:50What are you talking about?
04:52I'm the biggest, because I'm the biggest sinner when it comes to this.
04:54Well, you better clean your act up, because we're putting some fines in place.
04:57This is what I argue.
04:59In my defense, this is out of respect for the equipment.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Because we've had too many incidents in the past where people have spilled equipment, and
05:07then all of a sudden, a whole soundboard needs to be replaced.
05:10Okay, okay, let me rephrase.
05:11And so I put it off into a corner, and then I forget about it.
05:13Let me rephrase that.
05:15Dirty coffee mugs still half full of coffee left in the studio.
05:19Yeah, again, I'm 100% the one that's most guilty.
05:21You do?
05:21Yeah, I need to be held accountable.
05:23I need to be held accountable.
05:23I can come play for you, Coach Pendergast.
05:26$500.
05:26I agree to be held accountable for my dirty coffee cups.
05:30Hey, this one's petty, and it only takes 10 seconds of somebody's time to log somebody out
05:35and then log in, logging out of your computer, $500, how hard is it to hit a button to log
05:41out of the computer?
05:42Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
05:44The fine needs to be, it's not a fine, it's that you are obligated, kind of like an honor
05:50code at one of the military academies, how you're obligated to tell on somebody if you
05:54know they're doing something.
05:55Oh, really?
05:56Which I'm sure is 100% all the time abided by.
05:58But that if you come upon a computer where somebody hasn't logged out of it and they're
06:05gone for the day, that you need to email a very damaging email, a fraudulent email
06:14from their email.
06:16From their email?
06:17Yes.
06:17That's the punishment?
06:19Yeah.
06:19Okay.
06:20You need to send an email to that guy's family saying that you never really liked them anyway.
06:26Okay, I'm not going to name names, but I come in daily to an already logged on computer.
06:30Which is it Creighton or is it Sean?
06:33Bajani sits in this seat, I know, on the show.
06:36If it was Creighton, Creighton did that to me once.
06:38He sent a phony email out?
06:40He sent a, no, he tweeted about how awesome Patrick Creighton was, which is kind of funny
06:46looking back on it, but at the time it was like, I was kind of, it was too self-serving
06:52for Creighton that it annoyed me.
06:54But looking back on it, I should have laughed harder than I did.
06:57Okay, here's a few more.
06:59Leaving the AC in the studio on anything but cool.
07:04I've come in sometimes in the AC, you know, there's three colors on our AC thing in here.
07:08Blue for cool, white for middle, and then orange for hot.
07:12I think that's probably a Bajani thing too, because Bajani likes it hot.
07:15He does?
07:16Bajani likes the heat.
07:17Yeah.
07:17Okay, well that's $750 on the Pendergast fine scale.
07:21That's specifically the Bajani fine.
07:23I feel like I've got to have a sit down with Bajani, I think.
07:26Bajani's got some issues.
07:27He likes the heat.
07:29Yeah.
07:29He thinks he can beat me in a boxing match.
07:32He may or may not leave half-filled coffee mugs next to a logged-in computer.
07:36Yeah.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Yeah.
07:38This is turning into the Bajani fine system.
07:43Not hitting breaks on time for a little on-air, $1,000.
07:48And I know that I'm going to probably get fined quite a bit for that, but I need to get better.
07:53Yeah.
07:53Not hitting breaks on time.
07:55You know what you're...
07:55No, I'll fine you for asking me a question seven seconds before we're supposed to go to...
08:01That one, you asked me a question, and then you start giving me the hurry up, wrap it up thing.
08:09Oh.
08:09And I'm like, you led me into this danger, man.
08:12Oh, okay.
08:12And you're going to tell me to wrap it up.
08:14Okay.
08:14If you ask me a question, we're supposed to be going into break.
08:18Okay, got you.
08:18Got you.
08:19Okay.
08:19Well, that's...
08:20It's like you're telling me to funnel a beer right before we drive home or something.
08:25Okay.
08:25And then you're a gas.
08:27Okay.
08:27Well, this is your issue.
08:28How much should I be fined for doing that?
08:29$17,000.
08:31$17,000?
08:32Yes.
08:33All right.
08:34I mean, this is a joint thing here.
08:36I mean, it's...
08:36Hey, Ben, can you break the tie?
08:38How much should I be fined for living...
08:40$17,000.
08:40What the hell, Ben?
08:41Ben, how often does that happen?
08:44When we're late for break, do you see Sean giving me the hurry up signal after he had just asked me a question?
08:49I don't ever do this.
08:51I just put my finger up like that.
08:53Sometimes I do this if we're really up against it.
08:56And you know, my favorite...
08:58Gosh, I wonder if this is...
08:59What about all the times I don't ask you a question and you keep talking two minutes into...
09:02$17,000.
09:06Thank you, Ben.
09:07$17,000 for you as well.
09:09All right.
09:09When Ted Johnson and I...
09:11We both started working for the station right around the same time.
09:14And Ted, you know, so we'd be kind of going between co-hosting with various hostess villains and everything.
09:20And Meltzer would always do a thing where he would hold his finger up.
09:23And I don't know what he would do it for.
09:25I think maybe it was like they were going to break or it was like him saying, like, I have a point to make after you're done.
09:29Oh.
09:30But Ted one day...
09:32I think Nick Wright goaded him into this.
09:34Ted gave like a two-minute speech about how he hates that Meltzer finger.
09:40And the next time Meltzer does that finger thing to him, he's going to break his finger.
09:45Dude, I totally believe that.
09:47Meltzer, bro, the next time you do that, I'm going to break your damn finger.
09:50Yeah, man.
09:51Yeah.
09:52I've been on the business end of a Ted Johnson text message a time or two.
09:56Oh, he's texted you?
09:57He's texted me.
09:58That's especially aggressive.
09:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:59Like after the show one time, he texted me.
10:01Oh, really?
10:01He thought I was being dismissive of one of his points during the show.
10:04Oh, really?
10:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:07We reconciled it.
10:08I mean, Ted's one of my best friends in the business.
10:10So he was on with us a week ago.
10:11We reconciled it.
10:12Ted and I both, it took us about, I'd be like 10 or 15 years to stop acting like we were playing a football game when we were doing a show.
10:19It was a process.
10:20Yeah.
10:20I love it.
10:21I tell you this off the air.
10:23I'll say it on the air.
10:23I tell it to Ted.
10:24I loved listening to the two of you.
10:26Just the two of you talking football.
10:29I loved that show.
10:30That was before I got here.
10:31That was one of the big reasons I wanted to come over here.
10:33I'm like, I want to do radio with those guys.
10:35Vandermeer was like, Ted and I had both been doing radio about two weeks.
10:39And he was like, hey, Seth, why don't you and Ted do an hour-long show on Tuesday nights or something?
10:45Yeah, it was good, man.
10:45I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
10:47It was good.
10:47That's what made it good, man.
10:48That's what made it good.
10:49All right.
10:49Do you want to add any other fines?
10:51Sean's giving me the go-to-break thing.
10:55Come on.
10:55Let's go.
10:55Let's go.
10:56Let's go.
10:56No.
10:57We've got to go to break.
10:58We've got to go to break.
10:59All right.
11:00Payton Pendergast with you.
11:01That was fun.
11:01Boy, Sean Bajani is going to lose a lot of money.
11:03We've got to go to break.
