And 19 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 7: of course the Colt's still taking a breath, breathing in 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 7: and living in the afterglow of another dominant victory. They 21 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 7: just keep rolling along. We've got Pacers news today. Rick 22 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 7: Carlisle's gonna stop by. Good morning, Kevin Bowen, Good morning, 23 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 7: Mark Dydon, but he is back from Los Angeles and 24 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 7: whatever that two or three day party window was for James, boy, 25 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 7: we're just happy you're back in in one piece and 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 7: ready to go. Yeah. 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Never gonna, you know, feel bad about going to LA. 28 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: So that was a nice little trip. Like I told 29 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: you all yesterday, got to see one of my best 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: friends who was my roommate in college. He's now bought 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: a house out in LA. So you can say he's 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: doing pretty well for himself, no. 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 7: Question about that. So Monday, after another big Colts victory yesterday, 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 7: I know you were out there, Kevin. This team has 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 7: just got to feel good about itself and they're rolling. 36 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 7: And what's kind of the vibe out there right now 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 7: when you go out to West fifty sixth. 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: Well, no Meadia availability yesterday from an in person standpoint, 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: we're all virtual. But yeah, I think they're definitely feeling good. 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: And you know, you see the reaction post game. I mean, James, 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: you can probably speak to a better being inside that 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: locker room, and you know, I felt like this one 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: was circled a little bit more. And you know, if 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: you want to start to continue to look at the 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: AFC South, you've gotten a lot of help here. Recently 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: got some more help last night with the Houston Texans 47 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: losing and EJ. Speed doing EJ Speed things and that game. 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you're in a great, a great position, 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: and I think they're certainly feeling that now. 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 7: I just love watching those AFC South teams tumble, don't you. 51 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 7: It's just hard to take, isn't it, James. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: If you're a Colts player or fan, certainly not. But 53 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: to your point, Kevin, in the locker room, the players 54 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: kept saying just like last week, and apparently that was 55 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: a motto that Reggie Wayne had back when his team's 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: a rolling. I think I told you all this yesterday, 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: and I heard Maaly Cox kind of break it down 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: when I was asking about the team and how they're 59 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: playing so well offensively in particular. But sprinkled in throughout 60 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: a lot of the audio that I have, you got 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: people just in the background yelling due that last week, 62 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: ju that last week. And so this team is very confident. 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: They feel like they can go out there and win 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: just like last week. And I think this was probably 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: their most impressive win of the year. And I guess 66 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: the good problem to have, which I'm sure you all 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: discussed yesterday and we'll discuss further today. Is that you 68 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: can still, i think, make some tweaks to this roster 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: to perhaps maximize the opportunity if you build for yourself. 70 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 7: Well, it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch. 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 7: And you know, just doing simple math on the way in, 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 7: because that's all I'm good for at five point fifteen 73 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 7: in the morning, is the easy addition in distraction. This 74 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 7: team just goes six and four of the final ten games. 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 7: They were a twelve win team. James Boyd think. 76 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: About that pretty impressive stuff, honestly. 77 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think at this point in time 78 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 7: six and four is all that much out of the question. 79 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 7: You're probably thinking seven and three realistically, the way the 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 7: it's been playing. Now, we know, Kevin that the second 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 7: half of the season is going to get a little 82 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 7: bit tougher, and you kind of figure that at some point, 83 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 7: you know you're going to have a rough stretch here 84 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 7: or there. But think about that, just six and four 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 7: and you're a twelve win team. 86 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's amazing when you say that out loud, 87 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: and it doesn't sound that far fetched whatsoever. Frankly, six 88 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: and four sounds like the floor maybe, but yes, the schedule, 89 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: to be fair is a little bit more difficult. The 90 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: NFL always seems to find a way to humble you, 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: but right now that humbleness seems to be so far 92 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: away from this football team, with how especially offensively, how 93 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: surgical they've been. 94 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 7: All right, then we are just a couple of days 95 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 7: away now from the start of the NBA season. The 96 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 7: ind Enna Pacers will be hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder 97 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 7: on Thursday night, And Kevi, it's just you know, you 98 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 7: got kind of your core four that are ready to go. 99 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 7: You're going to be searching at the center position for 100 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 7: a while. But right now, because of injuries and everything else, 101 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 7: what do you have on the second unit at this 102 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 7: point in time. That's kind of a mystery, isn't it. 103 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: We might have to ask for Carlo at eight o'clock 104 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: if you can suit up. So Rick Carlisle gonna join 105 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: us here coming up Tuesdays at eight with him will continue, 106 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: So we really appreciate him doing that here for another season. Yeah, 107 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: they definitely have some questions, you know, even roster wise, 108 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: I know we don't typically get two into maybe the 109 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: weeds of an NBA roster compared to an NFL roster. 110 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: But right now they really only have one healthy true 111 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: point guard. That would be Andrew Nemhard Ray J Dennis, 112 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: I guess could be their backup on Thursday night, Quinton 113 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: Jackson's little banged up again. We know TJ McConnell's going 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: to miss, you know, the first ten or twelve games. 115 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 2: They did keep four centers in this show on the roster, 116 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: which is a big number because I think a lot 117 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: of people out there feel like their best lineup doesn't 118 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: include a center that would be we'll be topping there. 119 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely a lot of questions. And then last 120 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: night late for those that stayed up, Aaron E. Smith 121 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: two years I guess kicked onto that current contract that 122 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: he is already on an extension for him, He's now 123 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: on the same timetable as Tyre's Halliburton from a year's standpoint, 124 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: and James, I continue to look at the Aaron Nee 125 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Smith contract and think, wow, is this still a steal. 126 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: I've always felt like the Nie Smith contract is stealing money, 127 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: and I continue to look at it in that light. 128 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I think if he had hit free agency, he 129 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: would have got way more than this. You look at 130 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: some of the contracts that players are getting. I'm like, 131 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: man aaron NEI Smith won. He probably just wants the security. 132 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: So I look at it like this. If you want 133 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the security and you want the money to be locked 134 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: in right away, then you take what's offered right now, 135 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: which was the max he could getting out. From my understanding, 136 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: they could have gone to a three year since, but 137 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: they chose two, and he gets the forty million dollars 138 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: tacked on to the end of his contract. But if 139 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: he wanted more money, he would have to play this 140 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: contract out obviously, try to become a free agent, and 141 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: then you know, see if he can get some students 142 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: to chip in. But looking at where he was when 143 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: they traded for him, I believe in July of twenty 144 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: twenty two he was kind of thrown in as part 145 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: of that Malcolm Brogden deal to get him over to 146 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: the Celtics, and it didn't work out at its first 147 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: championship level team right off the gate when he got 148 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: drafted in. And now he's become a piece of what 149 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: was the championship caliber team with the Pacers when Halliburn 150 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: was healthy and what looks to be a team that 151 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: wants to get back to contention after Halliburn returns, and 152 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: they want him to be a part of it. 153 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 8: Yeah. 154 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 7: The other thing big news in the NBA, Lebron James 155 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 7: is going to be out weeks now with what they're 156 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 7: calling siattica, which is a nerve thing going on in 157 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 7: his lower back, and so we don't know what that 158 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 7: looks like for the Lakers. They've got Luka Dancicz out 159 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 7: there obviously at this point in time. And you know 160 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 7: this is crazy because I saw this, I don't know 161 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 7: at the very end of Roger Clemens's career where he 162 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 7: said he would come back and only pitch after the 163 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 7: All Star break for teams, and teams were like, you 164 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 7: know what, we're making a run down the stretch. I'll 165 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 7: take Roger Clemens for the last two months of a season. 166 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 7: As he started to get older. Do we get to 167 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 7: a point in the NBA where a guy like Lebron 168 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 7: James could possibly say, Hey, you know what, I'll come 169 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 7: back and play the last thirty games of the regular 170 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 7: season in the postseason for you guys in my final 171 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 7: couple of years. It sounds crazy, but could you see 172 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 7: something like that. 173 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: Going on no just because for Lebron, he's been the 174 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: most durable superstar ever. Yeah, but I mean if you 175 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: look at his moo, he plays basketball. I know people 176 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: like do the whole hey, he low manages, he rest 177 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: it's I think that Kawhi Leonard is probably like the 178 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: face of that. If you look at Lebron's career, he's 179 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: played more than any other superstar outside of like Caremadul Jabbar. So, 180 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's going to be out for 181 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: a while, but I would expect when he hits the 182 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: ground that he wants to go out there and play because, 183 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: as I like to say on social media, hoop is hoop. 184 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: I want to go back to Nee Smith for just 185 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: a second because I think when we look back on 186 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: that magical run last year, the obvious core memory is 187 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: the Halliburton heroics. I mean that is the easy thing 188 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: and that you know, five, ten, fifteen years down the road, 189 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: that will be the highlight reel that people dial up first. 190 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: But I was struck last night just think it back 191 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: on Nie Smith and his career here, and you know, 192 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: as James said, you know, I don't think a lot 193 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: of people put too much stock into his name when 194 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: he showed up in that trade for Malcolm Brogden. But 195 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: I will never forget the free throw, rebound tip dunk 196 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: he had in Cleveland. Yeah, to ignite that comeback. That 197 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: comeback does not happen without Aaron E. Smith making that play. 198 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: Game one Madison Square Garden Halliburton shot that goes up 199 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 2: to the heavens, that does not happen without Aaron E. 200 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Smith having the flurry of all fourth quarter flurries. I mean, 201 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: remember how. 202 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: S three threes he hit bang bang. 203 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: You know, Mike Brien doesn't want to say that when 204 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: he's calling a PACER's next game, but because Aaron E. 205 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: Smith did that sort of display in that venue as well, 206 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: so you know, again, it probably gets lost a little 207 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: bit just because of how unbelievable the cinema was around 208 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: Tyre's Halliburn and those shots. But on the road, those 209 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: two comebacks they don't occur without Nie Smith in two 210 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: very different ways. Obviously, the dunk is a lot different 211 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: than what he did with all those threes. There, so 212 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 2: very deserved for him, and certainly a huge year with 213 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: a lot more on his plate offensively and defensively coming. 214 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 7: Up, Well, it's gonna be a lot. I still think 215 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 7: it's going to be obviously fascinating to see how they 216 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 7: operate without Halliburton and Miles Turner, who's off to Milwaukee 217 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 7: right now. But I just feel like this team is 218 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 7: is gonna win a lot of games in the middle 219 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 7: of the week against teams that are coming in here 220 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 7: on the second, third or fourth night of road trips, 221 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 7: and I think there's gonna get run ragged. And I 222 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 7: think there's still a core group here that when they 223 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 7: play their thirty minutes together twenty twenty six thirty minutes together, man, 224 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 7: they can they can do some damage. I still believe that, Yeah. 225 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: There's a possibility. But I'm worried about center. 226 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 7: Man. 227 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: I'll be lying to you, Jeff, if I didn't mention. 228 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,599 Speaker 7: That, So what could happen against wom Minyama just in 229 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 7: the preseason. 230 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's you know, Wemby's obviously, like you know, 231 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: grade a top tier center. But I'm looking at the 232 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: group and just wondering, Okay, who's playable, who's passable? 233 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: And we should mention no extension for Bendick Mather And 234 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: that was the other, you know, eve of the season. 235 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: NBA starts tonight for those curious pace. 236 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: I actually don't think that either one was like all 237 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: that surprising to us or like the fan base. But yes, 238 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you're right, yah. 239 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: I think we've talked about this throughout the offseason. I 240 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: think we both parties. Benedict Matherin wants to play this 241 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 2: year out now, the Pacers will still have right of 242 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: first refusal. I think they can actually negotiate initially with him. 243 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Once the season ends. 244 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: He'll be a restrict for free as a restrict free 245 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: agent there, so Matherin will be in a contract year 246 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: upcoming this season. Again, not to me, the most shocking 247 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: thing in the world there. So Pacers still have a 248 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: couple other roster things to figure out, I think before 249 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: Thursday night. 250 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: But it is here. 251 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 7: It is definitely here. All right. Everything you're gonna need 252 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 7: to know for the rest of your sports day is 253 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 7: coming your way in a moment with a checkdown. In 254 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 7: the meantime, Rick Carlisle slides in at eight o'clock to 255 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 7: talk about the upcoming NBA season, looking forward to that, 256 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 7: and we'll talk Colts throughout the day as well. It's 257 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 7: nine seventy. The fan text line always welcome those things. 258 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 7: You can call us up at two three nine, ten seventy. 259 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 7: When we have a chance to talk to you, we'd 260 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 7: love to do that. It's going to be a busy 261 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 7: Tuesday here at ninety three five and one oh seven 262 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 7: five the fan yew. 263 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: Ye, that's how we do. 264 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 4: All the morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one 265 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 4: oh seven five the ban. 266 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 7: Good morning, it's Tuesday, you wake up. The Indianapolis Colts 267 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 7: are six and one. The Indiana Hoosiers are seven and 268 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 7: oh ranked second in both the coaches and AP polls, 269 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 7: and the number one pre season team in college basketball 270 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 7: in America are the Purdue boiler Makers. It's a good 271 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 7: time to be in the state of Indiana right now. Colts, 272 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 7: as I mentioned, our six and one, they will host 273 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 7: the Tennessee Titans Sunday afternoon for twenty five. I know 274 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 7: not much happening out at West fifty six yesterday, Kevin, 275 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 7: but do we have any kind of injury updates in 276 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 7: the day after at all? 277 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: Nosterday, So Taekwon Lewis day to day was probably the 278 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: one update that Changsycin gave that was actually some bit 279 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: of information. Sounds like Taverarious Ward Bilbert turn this season 280 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: with that kash he's uninjured reserve, but he will be 281 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 2: back at some point and then we'll see on Samson. 282 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Epic found some reports out there that he will miss time. 283 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: Shane would neither confirm nor deny that. 284 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 5: Some people that's about the four kickoff. 285 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: I know it's a bit odd for the Colts to 286 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 2: be in that window with another AFC team. This is 287 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: the week of the NFL season where we have the 288 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: most bye weeks. I want to say six teams are 289 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: on a bye, so you have to slot some games 290 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: in the four o'clock window. I want to say the 291 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: Cults are one of three games that are into that 292 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: four or four to twenty five windows. So there's just 293 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: a little bit of reasoning behind it. I could see 294 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: at the start of the year on paper, Oh, cam Ward, 295 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson maybe, so obviously that's not how it's played out. 296 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 2: But yeah, Colts, I believe are one of the two 297 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: CBS games coming up this weekend. I think it's Denver 298 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: in Dallas the other one. 299 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 7: Johnny, Yeah, Denver Nallas, Yeah, James. 300 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: We were talking about opening line yesterday. 301 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 7: The Colts are fourteen and a half point home favorites 302 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 7: over the Tennessee Titans. You don't see two touchdown favorites 303 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 7: in the NFL very often. If I'd have told you 304 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 7: in August that, yeah, by the time they get to 305 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 7: that Tennessee game, there'll be two touchdown favorites. You know, 306 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 7: looked at me like I had was cross side. 307 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 8: Yeah. 308 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I wouldn't have known what to expect 309 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: from this team, or I would expect cam Ward be 310 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: injured or something like that. But honestly, the way I 311 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: look at their offense, I might take the over like 312 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: they are scoring points at a very high rate. I'm 313 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: trying to find weaknesses in the offense. I really can't. 314 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm probably niitpicking if I do so. To me, 315 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: this offense is super Bowl caliber. The numbers they are 316 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: putting up our stuff we haven't seen in decades and 317 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: his better offenses at least through the first seven weeks, 318 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: and they had with Peyton Mann Andrew Luck. So that 319 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: says a lot about the level they're operating at, especially 320 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones and JT leading the way. 321 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 7: All right, last night doubleheader on Monday Night Football to 322 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 7: clean up the Week seven of the National Football League, 323 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 7: the Detroit Lions got a great performance from Jamier Gibbs, 324 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 7: a career night for him, over two hundred and twenty 325 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 7: total yards, two touchdowns. He had it rolling Tampa Bay 326 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 7: and Baker Mayfield had trouble getting things going. But more 327 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 7: importantly for the Buccaneers, Mark, did you see that their 328 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 7: big gun Mike Evans goes down trying to make a catch, 329 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 7: breaks a collar bone. Will be out most of the 330 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 7: rest of the season, they're saying right now. 331 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought he had a concussion just the way 332 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 5: he got hit and was kind of laying there, and 333 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 5: then it came out later that Yeah, likely out for 334 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 5: the season with a broken common man. 335 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 7: Oh man. 336 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 5: I love Mike Evans. He's a baller and it sucks 337 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: to see him go out. And you know, Baker Mayfield, 338 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 5: he's doing his best out there, but no Mike Evans. 339 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 7: That stinks. Yeah. Also in the later game, the Seattle 340 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 7: Seahawks won a fairly sloppy game over the Houston Texans. 341 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 7: Twenty seven to nineteen was the final score there. Sam 342 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 7: Darnold two hundred and thirteen yards, one touchdown, one interception, 343 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 7: but Jackson Smith and Jigba again eight catches, one hundred 344 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 7: and twenty three yards and a touchdown. He is wide 345 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 7: receiver one plus one right now. He is on fire 346 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 7: Mark dyked and just some of the fantasy numbers he's 347 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 7: been putting up making people happy. 348 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 5: He's incredible. Yeah, Mam Donald living up to the money, 349 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: big money contract he got too. 350 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 7: All right, college football coming up this weekend. This was interesting. 351 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 7: UCLA will come into Memorial Stadium. I guess number two Indiana. 352 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 7: I love. Kurt Signetti said yesterday James Boyd. He's treating 353 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 7: UCLA as an undefeated three and zero team since making 354 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 7: their coaching change, and that's how he's framing it with 355 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 7: his players this week. 356 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: Whatever my games you gotta play. I probably trust whatever 357 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: cursing that he is doing, just because it's worked so far. 358 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm not really buying that. But I 359 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: do think that they're playing much better football than anywhere 360 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: early in the season, so it should be an interesting game. 361 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: I think of the games that are left on the schedule, 362 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: that is one that kind of I'm looking at, like, 363 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't get trapped and make sure if you're IU, 364 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: you try to clo out the regular season undefeated. 365 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 7: All right, let's go to Major League Baseball last night, 366 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 7: Game seven of the American League Championship Series, Mariners on 367 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 7: the road in Toronto, controlling the game. They lead it 368 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 7: three to one, but they put two runners on in 369 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 7: the bottom of the seventh inning and George Springer came 370 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 7: to the plates. 371 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 6: Spare getna flyball to left field that goes, She's gone. 372 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 7: That was that four to three, big moment for the 373 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 7: Blue Jays, back to the World Series for the third 374 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 7: time in franchise history, denying the Mariners Kevin their first 375 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 7: opportunity to ever get to the postseason classic. That's just 376 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 7: crazy to me. 377 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it felt awful for the Mariners there. 378 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: I mean, you get the Rodriguez big dumper home runs, 379 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: you think you're sitting there pretty and then boom, George Springer, 380 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: who has certainly had October heroics before. 381 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 5: He does that. 382 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: To you how that atmosphere looked unbelievable. But yeah, there 383 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: was part of me that's rooting for the Mariners. But 384 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: as Mark Dighton said yesterday, now we wave the al 385 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: flag in the World Series, go Blue Jay's go soon. 386 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 5: As soon as that ball went off the bat of 387 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 5: Springer mcnt is gone. I mean, it was just moon 388 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 5: vintage him. 389 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 7: Got to see if somebody can beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 390 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 7: who seemingly have all stars at every position and go 391 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 7: about four deep in the rotation. 392 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 5: Mark, well, he gets shoeo tany performance from the other night. 393 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 5: I mean, you'll be a short series. 394 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 7: All right. Some interesting news coming out about Caitlin Clark. 395 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 7: Stephanie White was speaking yesterday, still listed as week to 396 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 7: week as she returns from a groin and ankle injury, 397 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 7: still only playing two on two, some light three on three. 398 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 7: Stephanie White said, we don't want her to play five 399 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 7: on five yet, We've got time. We'll take it slow. 400 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 7: That ankle injury, Caitlin Clark said the worst she's ever suffered. 401 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 7: Maybe it was just a lot worse than we ever 402 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 7: even thought. 403 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: Perhaps I believe she she being. Stephanie White spoke to 404 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Adi Starr about this on their podcast, So chok that 405 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: out after our show, you know, if you're interested. But 406 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: I would say, when it comes to Caitlin personally, I'm like, 407 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: just let me know when she's back out there playing 408 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: real hoops, and we certainly hope that is sooner rather 409 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: than later. 410 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 7: We certainly do. NBA does open up tonight as Kevin 411 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 7: said a moment ago, the Houston Rockets, fresh off resigning 412 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 7: Kevin Durant to an extent, will be taking on the 413 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 7: defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.

A triple bypass surgery was needed for 433 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 2: him yesterday morning. Have heard nothing but I don't know 434 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: Matthew personally, but I've heard nothing but unbelievable things about 435 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: him as as a human, as a basketball coach. So 436 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: best of the Indiana State community and certainly Matthew Graves 437 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: and his you know, effort to get back on the sidelines. 438 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, that is I'll tell you first, that scary stuff 439 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 7: when they have to start working on your insides right there. 440 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 7: So we certainly hope that he's going to be okay 441 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 7: moving forward, all right, coming up at eight o'clock conversation 442 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 7: with Rick Carlisle to kick things off for the twenty 443 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 7: five twenty six NBA season. We'll be talking colts in 444 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 7: the nine o'clock era as well with Joel a. Erkson. 445 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 7: So it's going to be a big busy morning here. 446 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 7: I'm ninety three five and one to seventy five the 447 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 7: Fan can't wait to spend it with you.

The guys will have 451 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 7: a conversation with him about the upcoming NBA season. We'll 452 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 7: check out some of the texts that people are sending 453 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 7: in on this Tuesday morning. This is an anonymous one. 454 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 7: I like this though, for both of you guys. Just 455 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 7: had an epiphany I haven't heard discussed. Why don't we 456 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 7: trade Alec Pearson maybe either Quitty pay or a lat 457 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 7: To as well, for a top five or ten edge 458 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 7: rusher that could be available. James, you wrote an article 459 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 7: in The Athletic today about going all in if you're 460 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 7: the Colts. Are we starting to look or think about 461 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 7: things like that as we move forward? 462 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that article was from yesterday, but it's something I'd 463 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: definitely want to revisit more this week, especially being two 464 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: weeks away from the trade deadline. But I will say 465 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: this to that question, I immediately went deaf as soon 466 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: as you said Alec Pierce. He's not going anywhere. He 467 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: is arguably their best receiver this year. So I do 468 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: think there is some players Adie Mitchell or somebody else 469 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: you can look at two package to try to go 470 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: get someone. But also if you're going to get edge 471 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: rusher at the deadline, I also don't think it'll be 472 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: like a top five guy at that position, because those 473 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: guys won are huge contracts, you probably want to try 474 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: to get somebody who's you know, mid tier proven. Trey 475 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: Henderson is somebody that obviously comes to mind because he's 476 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: an expiring contract. But I do think that that big 477 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: win for the Bengals last week maybe changed things for 478 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: their future at the deadline. So that's kind of where 479 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: I'm at with it. But Alec Pierce trade, Oh no, 480 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: absolutely not. 481 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 7: The question remains though, do you think Chris Ballard would 482 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 7: possibly do something coming off an offseason where he was 483 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 7: very aggressive and here there are six and one scored 484 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 7: more points than anybody in the in the league, but 485 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 7: defense seems to be a problem. Uh, if you're looking 486 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 7: long term and you have big aspirations, what do you 487 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 7: think that What do you think happens, especially with new ownership. 488 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 7: Does it change the entire dynamic? 489 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question. I mean I think they should. 490 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: You know, Ballart obviously changed his tune you know, back 491 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: in free agency, very much needed and I think you're 492 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: reaping some of the benefits of that. 493 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 5: Now this is a little different. 494 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 2: You know, you obviously would be partying ways with another 495 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: draft pick, which you know, for Chris Ballard, that's you know, 496 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: a little bit children like in how he likes to build. 497 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 9: Uh. 498 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: But to your point, Jeff, they've never been in the 499 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: situation under him, and we know past rush means a 500 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: lot to him as well, So I think you should. 501 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 2: You know, I probably am with James a little bit 502 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 2: more that that trade idea sounds a little bit more 503 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: Madden Video gaming to me than anything. I think you 504 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: got to be realistic and kind of a middle round 505 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: pick and you're probably not gonna get some do that 506 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: has you know, a slew of twelve SAX seasons on 507 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: his resume, But just offer some juice to a group 508 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: that I think really really needs it right now. If 509 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: you look at the last month, I want to say, 510 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 2: opposing quarterbacks are average a like three thirty against the Colts, 511 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: three thirty five maybe against the Colts. If you go 512 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: back these last four games, it's the second worst mark 513 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: in the NFL this season if you look at any 514 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: four game stretch. So you know, I think you got 515 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: to live in reality with you know how the last 516 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: month has been for this passing defense, and for me, 517 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: your pass rush can impact that more than coverage. You 518 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: can coverage wise, I think you can talk yourself into Okay, 519 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: at various Ward's going to come back at some point 520 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: this season. You know, we'll see if Jalen Jones ever happens. 521 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: I don't see any of those names though necessarily at 522 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: pass rusher popping up, so that's probably why I would 523 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: entertain it as well. 524 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 7: I'm just curious how much of those big yardage numbers, 525 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 7: and those are huge yardage numbers, by the way, how 526 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 7: much of that is chalked up to a couple of 527 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 7: these games just garbage time where teams are just trying 528 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 7: to throw the ball over the field to keep up. 529 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put much stock into that at all. Honestly, 530 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: I thought the Chargers were in that game until the 531 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: Forest Buckner and got that sack on their last drive 532 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: to kind of push them back, and then Zaia Franklin 533 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: made that great play down the middle of the field 534 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: on lab McConkey for the pass breakup, and they ultimately 535 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: forced turnover on downs. But if you look at what 536 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: the charge were able to do in that second half, 537 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts couldn't stop them at all, and 538 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: in a fourteen point loss. Now, give credit where credit 539 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: is due, the defense forced two turnovers in the red zone. 540 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: So Grover Stewart and Nick Cross deserve a ton of 541 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: praise for that, because ultimately, I think in this league 542 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: turnovers determined a lot of who wins and who loses. 543 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: But no, I am not convinced that this was just 544 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: garbage time. No, these teams are going out here and 545 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: beating you. And if you look back at the Arizona game, 546 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: that wasn't garbage time either. They went down the field 547 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: and nearly beat you on a fourth down, you know, 548 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: last second pass. So I think they definitely need to 549 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: be much better when it comes to pass defense. 550 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 2: James, you bring up the Buckner play plays probably plural. 551 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 2: He's so good, he the game, so good, a play 552 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: that Jeff, you and I should have mentioned yesterday and 553 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: we did not, and was such a play that if 554 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: it goes the other way, fans are just ripping this player, 555 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 2: because I would argue he's the most ripped cult player 556 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: maybe not named Dadi Mitchell. How about thirty yards down 557 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: the field in coverage Zia Franklin on Lad McConkie on 558 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: that third and twenty two. That was play number on 559 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: nineteen of the drive, twenty of the drive. Zara Franklin 560 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: e'ts someven out. The dude plays every snap, and yes, 561 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 2: has this season not been at the level that I 562 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: think maybe you would like it to be. Yeah, I 563 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: think that's fair. But what a big time play. I mean, 564 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: that is a dream for Justin Herbert. I get my 565 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 2: best white out on a linebacker thirty yards down the 566 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 2: field on a third and a million. I mean, that 567 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: is a you couldn't have asked for a better matchup there. 568 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: And there's Franklin not panicking, not committee a penalty, looking 569 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: like a dB frankly and making a great play on 570 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: the ball to knock it away. And if they score 571 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: there one potession game, who knows three point thirty to go? 572 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 5: Yeah to James's point. 573 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: One score game, they might do the weird thing that 574 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 2: teams sometimes do. 575 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: They go for two. 576 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: Initially, they maybe try to cut it to six there 577 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 2: right there, and now the pressure is really on the Colts. 578 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: They still have had two timeouts the Chargers and the 579 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: two minute warning. Big time play from Zire Franklin and 580 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: really a pretty unique play for a linebacker to be 581 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 2: that far down the field. Play nineteen of the drive, 582 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 2: play whatever seventy of the game. Probably for Zaire and 583 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: he just steps up and has a huge, huge pass 584 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 2: pass deflection. 585 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, and that you're right. We didn't talk about that 586 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 7: a little bit yesterday, and that's a huge play for 587 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 7: a guy that has been criticized a lot this year. 588 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 7: And it's funny. We'll hear some sound later on today. 589 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 7: But I was listening to Shane Steichen on Colts Round 590 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 7: Table last night. He kind of seems okay with where 591 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 7: the defense and the rush if the pass was just 592 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 7: at this point in time. He talked about all the 593 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 7: pressures they got and how that caused Justin Herbert to 594 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 7: make some misson in that football game. 595 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this love shame, but he says a 596 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: lot of things I would imagine differently behind closed doors. 597 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: And when has he ever said anything that is remotely 598 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: controversial when it comes to his team or what they 599 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: might upgrade at. I was asking him yesterday about the 600 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: trade deadline. He gave a typical coach answer, Oh, I'll 601 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: leave that to the GM. You know, he always going 602 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: to get better. But yeah, I'm not surprised he said that. 603 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: But internally, I would imagine the conversation between him and 604 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: Lou and Rumo is different. 605 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he occasionally does this where publicly James he downplays things, Yeah, 606 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 2: which he should. 607 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't go out there like, oh man, 608 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: I past us stake. 609 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 4: No. 610 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: I mean I think you can walk a little bit 611 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: of a line of hey, we need to get better there, 612 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: you know, something along those lines where you don't have 613 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: to call individually call out guys. But you would be 614 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: naive to think that right now, with the Colts are 615 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 2: getting defensively from that area, is playoff worthy or however 616 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 2: you want. 617 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 7: To view it. 618 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 2: As you play some better quarterbacks on the schedule, there 619 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: and actions will speak louder than those words and actions 620 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 2: will happen, you know what, two weeks from today or 621 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 2: within the next two weeks, I should say, NFL trade 622 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: deadline fourteen days away. 623 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 7: So they've got some time and maybe they look and 624 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 7: they see what's going on against Tennessee and maybe they 625 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 7: want to see it. Don Look, if there's ever a 626 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 7: team to dominate, there's a reason they're a fourteen and 627 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 7: a half point favorite. This might be the time to 628 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 7: pin your ears back and go for it and see 629 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 7: what you can really do. 630 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like we had the conversation last 631 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: week with the Chargers hits every week. I mean they 632 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: had no offensive linemen that were I mean they had 633 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: down several starters, down several backups, and I believe in 634 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: the first series of the game, Kevin one of their 635 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: linement went down then, So to not have more pressure 636 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: on Justin Herbert throughout that game, I think it's a 637 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: bit concerning. 638 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 7: Now. 639 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: I will say to Forest Buckner was absolutely dominant, but 640 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: I feel like he's been the only consistent guy who's 641 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: able to get pressure on the quarterback. And as you 642 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: look at some of the advanced numbers or just use 643 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: your general eyes, he gets double more than anybody. And 644 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: I think you do that because one he's a great player, 645 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: but two you're not worried abou anybody else getting the quarterback. 646 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 5: I would like the pass rush to get better. I 647 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 5: would like it to get better in a hurry, especially 648 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 5: with the Week nine opponent coming off. I would like 649 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 5: to bolt to tee off on their quarterback, who I 650 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 5: will not name, who's Week nine mark the Pittsburgh Steelers. 651 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 5: What did you say, Sunday Night Football is this week 652 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 5: Sunday Night. 653 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 7: Football is it is going to be the uh. 654 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 8: Steelers. 655 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: That's a dream matchup. 656 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 10: For you. 657 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: That's a dream match. We talked about it yesterday. That's 658 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: the meteor game. 659 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 7: Yeah for a tie. 660 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 5: I've never been more of a Mark more the button 661 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 5: for the meteorologist. I'm like, do we have any like meteorites, 662 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 5: comets coming through?

He was not going to say the names 668 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 7: of those teams. 669 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 5: That's a disgusting I mean, it is going to be 670 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 5: a hate watch. I'm going to be not rooting for 671 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 5: both teams to lose. I don't even want to tie. 672 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 5: I just want them to both get losses somehow, no ties. 673 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 7: Uh, the Steelers, if you're wondering, are home underdogs against 674 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 7: the Packers right now? 675 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 5: That's fine. So Michael Parsons, you got paid all this money, 676 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 5: Go go go get that guy. 677 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 7: But if it takes Aaron Rodgers to have like a 678 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 7: two hundred and ninety yard three touchdown game, Mark Physic 679 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 7: okay with that, I'm okay with whatever I would like. 680 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 5: I would like, I mean, I would like the Steelers 681 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 5: to win obviously, but I like it to be on 682 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 5: the running game and Aaron Rodgers throws like four picks 683 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 5: in eighty yards. 684 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: Mark wants the guy the Green Bay Packers lineman to 685 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons Joe on his back like his own teammate 686 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: did last week, which is hilarious by the way. 687 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, what. 688 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: Colse Liman jumped on Daniel Jones like that? I feel 689 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: like Shane Stikeen would like I. 690 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: Thought Rogers would lose it. Yeah, when he first went down, 691 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: got some sciatica. 692 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 7: Going on or something. That's Mark's word of the day. Sciatica. 693 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 5: Ah, that's cold weather. My shoulders hurting like Rodney Dangerfield 694 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 5: didn't catty like, oh my arm it's broken. 695 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 7: Another guy who's not your problem anymore is Justin Field's 696 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 7: done as the quarterback of the Jets. Al righty Jets stink. 697 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn might be a one year coach because that 698 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 5: that looks like a complete train wreck. 699 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 7: But we'll always have him sprinding down the sidelines, though, 700 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 7: won't we to September that was whoever matched that up 701 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 7: was great. 702 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: And to James's point, Cincinnati plays the Jets this week, 703 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: so you know the Bengals could win another game, which 704 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: would whatever keep I feel like everyone is sending me, hey, Hendrick, 705 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 2: send this or you know, Cincinnati defender that. It's like, well, 706 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: if they keep winning and they didn't trade for Joe 707 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: Flacco to go tank, they tried to save their season, 708 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: so it's gonna have to take I would say two 709 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: straight losses for them to all of a sudden be 710 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: sellers of the deadline. 711 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 7: If that, well, they are only three and four, but 712 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 7: check this out. All three of their wins have come 713 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 7: within the conference, so not only a game and a 714 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 7: half behind Pittsburgh, who's already had a bye week, but 715 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 7: they've got games still to a game is still to 716 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 7: play against Pittsburgh, and they're three and one in conference play, 717 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 7: which you know, when it comes down to wildcard spots, 718 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 7: that's what's going to make a difference right there. So 719 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 7: if I'm the Cincinnati Bengals, I'm sitting there going, hey, 720 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 7: if we can just play even five hundred or one 721 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 7: game over five hundredun til Joe Burrow gets back, we're 722 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 7: right where we. 723 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: Need to be. 724 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: James, when's the last time he played pick up? 725 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: It's been a few weeks because of the schedule. Usually 726 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: up play jam V on Sunday's looking forward to hopefully 727 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: getting a run in this upcoming Sunday because of the 728 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: four PM or four thirty ish kickoff. 729 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 2: Pacers might need you for some backup PG clock coming 730 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: up Thursday. 731 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: Well, I imagine they're trying to win the game, so no, 732 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: they'll need me. 733 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 2: I literally have no idea who their backup point guard 734 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 2: will be Thursday night. 735 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: That is very interesting, especially because the waiver I think 736 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: the waiver deadline kind of passed, so you have to 737 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: figure out, you know, what other avenues you might go 738 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: through to get somebody in there. 739 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,239 Speaker 2: But and just to go over everything, Yeah, obviously out 740 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 2: I know his situation. Andrew Nemhart is your starter. TJ 741 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: McConnell injures his hamstring and the preseason opener he's going 742 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: to be out at least a couple weeks into the 743 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: regular season. They bring in Well, first it was gonna 744 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 2: be Delawn right right, and then whatever the physical doesn't 745 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: clear Morris, Oh yeah, Monte Morris, if you go back, yes, 746 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: thank you for that. That doesn't work out, and then 747 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: Delawn Wright situation, how long did that last? 748 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: That can cuss in that game with the same. 749 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: Game that McConnell got hurt, right, Yeah, so then he's gone. 750 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: They bring in Cameron Payne. They clearly don't like what 751 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: they saw from Cameron Payne for a couple of games. 752 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: Amidst all of this, Quinton Jackson, who we've seen, you know, 753 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: be on a two way contract and actually I think 754 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: when he's gotten a little bit of clock with the 755 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 2: NBA team, Yeah, he gives you a little gives you 756 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: a little energy. He hurts his hamstring. It sounds like 757 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 2: he won't be ready for Thursday night. So if you're 758 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 2: looking at healthy point guards, I guess it's ray J Dennis. 759 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: But do you have Jerris Walker point forward it with 760 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: the second unit? 761 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: That's a great question to ask for Carlisle, because I 762 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: have I don't know, it's tough. I almost want to 763 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: be like Matherin. You're a ball handler, can you bring 764 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: it up a couple of times? I know it's not 765 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: your nature, you're more of a score slash slasher, But 766 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at at this point, how many 767 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: bodies do we have just to throw out there to 768 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: hopefully alleviate some pressure on Andrew Nimphah, which is or 769 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: we were kind of worried about coming into the season, 770 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: and I already had questions before the injuries, and now 771 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: I have more because you're putting so much on the 772 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: plate of Nimhart's off this season. And I get it, 773 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: this is what I'm sure he welcomes, but not to 774 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: this degree right out the gate. 775 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 7: It's crazy too. I mean, yesterday was everybody was making 776 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 7: their preseason predictions on how the NBA season is going 777 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 7: to go, and and Most Vialuable Player Nikola jokis getting 778 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 7: a lot of love for that, and I get all that, 779 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 7: but they came to over unders again on a lot 780 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 7: of these sites, and I've just I just picked one 781 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 7: here at cbssports dot com. Indiana Pacers under thirty seven 782 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 7: and a half wins. I get it, with all the injuries, 783 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 7: even starting the season off. 784 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: I get it. 785 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 7: The two of your five guys are are gone from 786 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 7: the starting lineup last year. I just feel like this 787 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 7: team is going to find a way to win their 788 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 7: share of games in the forty to forty two to 789 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 7: forty three range. I can't get past that feeling. I 790 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 7: think they're just gonna win a bunch of games when 791 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,479 Speaker 7: teams are are a little bit down and a little 792 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 7: bit tired, and they're just gonna outlast a lot of 793 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 7: these teams. 794 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, Jeff, I'm skeptic, callready just because of 795 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: the injuries. It's hard just miss how hurt they are 796 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: going into the year. And I think a lot of 797 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: folks as much as they love the rest of the group, 798 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: And I find myself doing this to a degree when 799 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: I look at the Pacers. It's like, I don't want 800 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: to discredit how great of a player Tyre's Halliburton is, 801 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: and he might be worth ten wins himself outright. So 802 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: you look at what they did last year when they finished, 803 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: and you take the best player, one of the best 804 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: point guards in the world, off of that team, it's 805 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: hard to absorb that. And like you said, you're also, 806 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: you know, kind of just figuring out what you're gonna 807 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: do at center because you are notably worse there too. 808 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 8: I get it. 809 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: Myles Turner left, you might have a traja and he'll 810 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: get boom when he comes back, all those things, but 811 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't change the fact that he was a much 812 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: better option at center than what they have right now. 813 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 2: You know a huge reason why I've been so bullish 814 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 2: on the pacers in recent years is because of the 815 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 2: eighty two night grind. I feel like they're built depth wise. 816 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: So to your point, Jeff, outlast teams to handle back 817 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 2: to backs better to Hey, we're gonna run you into 818 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: the ground here for forty eight minutes and you better 819 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 2: get on your track shoes or you know it's not 820 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: gonna go well for you. Is that still a superpower? 821 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: That's a great question. 822 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 7: Gonna be tough right off the bat with all the 823 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 7: problems you just talked about in the bench, there's no questions. 824 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 2: That still And if you just played the game is 825 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 2: probably what a lot of national people do, if you 826 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: just played the game, because what do you see in 827 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: all these little preseason you know graphics on these websites. 828 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 5: You know, they they shrig it down. 829 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 2: To what three sentences on each team they throw in 830 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 2: last year's record, And the other thing they probably throw 831 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 2: in is additions. Subtractions, Right, who's new, who's left? Okay, subtractions? 832 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 2: Tyreus Halliburton, Miles Turner? Who are the additions? 833 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 7: Well, And to drill down on that, the CBS article 834 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 7: is talking about what's their identity without Halliberton? 835 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: Are the additions? Like Yeah, Yeah, like Jay Huff right now, 836 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm serious trolling. I mean, Jay Huff is an addition. 837 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: All the additions are internal hope and growth of Matherin 838 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 2: jump Walker, Jackson healthy healthy. Yeah, and again I'm still 839 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 2: bullish on north of forty. But I get why there 840 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: are some people out there. They just look at it 841 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 2: of Hey, you know, thirty teams across the league. I 842 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 2: think the Pacers, and I know it's a dangerous game 843 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: to play it, I think they've largely earned benefit of 844 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: the doubt. And again, I know that's a little bit 845 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 2: of like, oh boy, okay, you know, is that true 846 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 2: true belief? But that's where I'm at on it. But 847 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 2: you know, if you look at and say, all right, 848 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: you're taking one of the best point guards in the world. 849 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 2: You're taking away a you know, ten year guy at 850 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: center who's been a pretty reliable player for you, I 851 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 2: get why there's a little bit of pass. 852 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, they say their margin for injuries is minimal. There's 853 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 7: even an argument to trade so some of the older players. 854 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 8: TJ. 855 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 7: McConnell will be thirty five when the twenty seven playoffs 856 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 7: roll around, probably makes more sense for him to participate 857 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 7: in the twenty twenty six postseason on a team that 858 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 7: plans to compete in those and he's not the only 859 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 7: pacer that fits that description. Indiana, like the Boston Celtics, 860 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 7: has a rare chance to add cheap labor with a 861 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 7: top draft pick. If they're on the borderline, they'll surely 862 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 7: be tempted to take it. Interesting interesting stuff. So we'll 863 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 7: talk to Rick Carla about all that stuff coming up 864 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 7: at a minute again. The NBA season kicks off tonight 865 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 7: with a couple of games. They will be a doubleheader 866 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 7: on NBC. Was last time we saw prime time outside 867 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 7: of the playoffs basketball on network television? Kevin, NBC's got 868 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 7: basketball back. It's kind of their their big tip off 869 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 7: for the season tonight. That's we haven't seen that much. 870 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 2: Is Grady on the call for one of these games. 871 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 2: He's with NBC right amongst a couple of other he's 872 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: gonna wear this year. I assume Mike Turrico is probably 873 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 2: doing the first game, right, Yeah? 874 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 1: And it isn't Michael Jordan doing something? Is that with 875 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: Prime or was that with NBC? 876 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 5: I think it's NBC, but I don't know exactly. 877 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean, like it's Jordan's gonna be like in the. 878 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 7: Like I don't know, commenting on second quarter back in 879 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 7: the studio here and Michael Jordan. 880 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm curious here from them, like he's the 881 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: best player ever, so you know, what does he have 882 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: to say about today's stars, in the state of the 883 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: league and things of that nature. I mean, we really 884 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: hear from him. 885 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 2: Well, the Pacers raise a Eastern Conference banner Thursday night, 886 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 2: Will they do anything Thursday night? 887 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,280 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know, if you if opportune, 888 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: they probably should. I'm trying to think, and I don't know, 889 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: I have to trying to picture like the Raptors in 890 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: my head. I'm literally trying to picture the Raptors. I 891 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: swear there's an Eastern Conference champions banner, is or not? 892 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like my mine always, my 893 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: eyes always goes towards the jerseys and like, you know, 894 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: thinking that Nancy Leonard should be up there as well. 895 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: I would imagine at some point. But yeah, that's a 896 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: good question. And I don't say this is like a 897 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: joke either. I feel like, if you make it to 898 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: the conference finals, it's fine there like this isn't this is. 899 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 2: Not wild participant whatever. Mark thought the language was on that. 900 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 2: What do you say, What do you think it was 901 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 2: on it? 902 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 5: Mark said it again. 903 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 2: Did you think it said wild card participant? 904 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 5: Yes, wild or AFC final. I forget what it said exactly, Yeah, 905 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,479 Speaker 5: wild card participant or wild card crazy. 906 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: There's no way it said participant on. 907 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 7: I have to I have to find it. 908 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 5: I took a picture on like six phones ago that 909 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,439 Speaker 5: side by side. 910 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: There's no way you know Addison's soccer ribbons she got 911 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: from the end of the season. 912 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 5: Hey, if you've got to, I mean, if you filled 913 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 5: some space he put out whatever he can.

Yes, the analytics guy that you know 921 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: defied all these crazy analytics as a shooter and a 922 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: dunker in college, and I thought he showed a little 923 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 2: bit more that I was unfamiliar with this game would 924 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 2: be the best way to put it. And I got 925 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 2: familiarized prety quick, and I kind of like what I saw. 926 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: So KB with the Shack reference. I wasn't familiar with 927 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: your game. Slightly different tone of voice with that. 928 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 5: Uh it was twenty it was twenty fourteen AFC finalist. 929 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 7: That's what it said. 930 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, see the. 931 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 2: Finalist part Like ah, but but this would be different, 932 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 2: this would be you won, you want a conference conference? 933 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. The top 934 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 7: two play by play guys for NBC, although I'm not 935 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 7: finding tonight's assignments, Mike Turka and Noah Eagle. 936 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 5: Yeahmul Crawford. 937 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: I want to say, there's a lot of people that 938 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 1: did like the whole Amazon thing, and I think it's 939 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: Grady on a part of that. I think he's a 940 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: part of the Amazon crew. But I think both. 941 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 10: Yeah. 942 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think by the g Grady's got very proud 943 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 2: of money. And by the way, the Pacers, they got 944 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 2: the Thunder Thursday, and then they go on the road. 945 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 2: The Pacers schedule first like seven and is tough. Yeah, 946 00:41:59,040 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 2: and they go out easing. 947 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: It was like welcome home.

So yeah, 953 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 2: it's a very challenging slate.

I just think he's 983 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: such a valuable cog to what you guys are all about. 984 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 2: What has he meant to you and how have you 985 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 2: seen him grow in your time with him here. 986 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 10: Well, it's been great to see and be a part of. 987 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 9: I think the bottom line is he's a he's a 988 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 9: proven starter for us, and you know, the opportunity to 989 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 9: extend a guy a couple of years. So now I 990 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,879 Speaker 9: think he's under contract for four years, including this year 991 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 9: that we're headed into.

You 1124 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,239 Speaker 2: were the overwhelming winner of that. I want to say 1125 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 2: it was north of fifty percent, and second was like 1126 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 2: all the way down at ten percent on that list, 1127 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 2: just in general with your offensive philosophy. I guess where 1128 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 2: did it start? And how do you think maybe that 1129 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 2: side of the ball has evolved for you over the years. 1130 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 9: Well, I probably started when when my NBA playing career 1131 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 9: began in Boston. 1132 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 10: You know, we we were a team that had. 1133 00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 9: A lot of great players. You know, I think four 1134 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 9: or five Paul of famers. 1135 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 10: When I first got there, and then we traded for 1136 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 10: Bill Walton. 1137 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 9: I think he became the fifth or sixth and so, 1138 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 9: you know, he had a simple plan offensively, it was 1139 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 9: to play were the best players. 1140 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 10: Uh. 1141 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 9: We had plays, but we didn't call a lot of plays. 1142 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 9: And that's kind of how the game functions. And I 1143 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 9: told the story. I don't know if I told on 1144 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 9: this show or not, but you know, when I went 1145 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 9: from Boston. 1146 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 10: To the New York Knicks. 1147 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 9: You know, Rick Bettina was the coach of the Knicks 1148 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 9: and and Stu Jackson was one of his assistants. And 1149 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,320 Speaker 9: you know, these guys were meticulous game planners. You know, 1150 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 9: they were the best of the best in terms of detail. 1151 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 9: And Stu came to be with you know, three or 1152 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,280 Speaker 9: four paid diagram sheet pages of actions. 1153 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 10: He said, what are these calls? 1154 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 9: And he had all these different things that were happening, 1155 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 9: and I said, uh, I said, Stu, they're just just playing. 1156 00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 9: I mean, he goes, these aren't plays. I said, no, 1157 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 9: They're just they just they just played the game. This 1158 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 9: is really a flowing kind of freelance team He's like, not, no, 1159 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 9: that can't be right, you know. And so anyway that 1160 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 9: was and you know, we were finals three three out 1161 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 9: of three years, won the championship in eighty six. 1162 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,879 Speaker 10: And yeah, I just became a strong believer. 1163 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,800 Speaker 9: In that and that kind of player empowerment, et cetera. 1164 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 9: And then you know, as I moved on and coaching, 1165 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 9: you know, with as an assistant and a head coach, 1166 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 9: you know, I just was a was a believer in 1167 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:39,240 Speaker 9: this kind of approach. And you know I've said this also, 1168 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,400 Speaker 9: you know, my my background with music, you know, I 1169 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 9: you know, I learned how to play the piano and 1170 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 9: and and I'm really I'm really drawn to improvisational jazz 1171 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 9: because you listen to the same song, and every every 1172 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 9: time you listen to it sounds a little different. And 1173 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 9: when you get immersed in us in music a certain way, 1174 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 9: that's how you see it. And and that's music has 1175 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 9: probably influenced my view of the of the of basketball 1176 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 9: as well. You know, defenses are so sophisticated trying to 1177 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 9: figure out how to guard situations, et cetera. You know, 1178 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 9: I just always feel like the more we can make 1179 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 9: the the game offensively look different every time down, the more. 1180 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 10: Difficult it's going to be for the defense. 1181 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 9: And so you know, all that stuff has has has 1182 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 9: influenced me. You know, my my team's in Dallas were 1183 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 9: we're we're very good flow teams. And look, we had 1184 00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 9: great players, you know, we had we had Newitsky, we 1185 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 9: had Kid, we had Jason Terry and and others. 1186 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 10: And here, you know, it's been it's. 1187 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 9: Been Tyreesee, you know, Pascal and and TJ. McConnell has 1188 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,919 Speaker 9: been a big part of it. And of course Miles 1189 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,320 Speaker 9: Turner was a part of it. He's moved on and 1190 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 9: so now now we've got to change the recipe to 1191 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 9: to the to the person. 1192 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:03,320 Speaker 10: That we have available. 1193 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 9: So this is gonna look different, and it'll be a 1194 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,320 Speaker 9: work in progress, you know, on certain on certain levels. 1195 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 9: But I want our system to be a really fun 1196 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 9: system to play in and for players to feel like 1197 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 9: they have real influence on what happens out there. 1198 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 10: And so that's where we're. 1199 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 1: At rick to that point about your offense, we know 1200 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of it will go through Andrew Nimhard in 1201 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: your core four, But how do you view the center 1202 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 1: position right now? And I guess what are you hoping 1203 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: to get out of the censor of bi committee approach. 1204 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not even sure who's going to start right 1205 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 9: this second. The Isaiah Jackson started all four games, so 1206 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 9: certainly there's a possibility that. 1207 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 10: He could be the starter. 1208 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 9: We've got to figure out, you know, who who fits where, 1209 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 9: and there will be there will be challenges with this. 1210 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 9: You know, I've I've mentioned this before. I'm sure if 1211 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 9: it's been in this show, but you know, I've had 1212 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,879 Speaker 9: a center by committee situation one year in Dallas when 1213 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 9: we had a successful year and you know, it took 1214 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 9: San Antonio to seven games in the first round of 1215 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 9: the year. They won at fourteen with guys that were, 1216 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 9: you know, not household names, but they were guys that 1217 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 9: were very good at what they did. So, you know, 1218 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 9: Sam Dallenbart was a great shot blocker and defender. Dwan 1219 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 9: Blair was a guy that had great feel, and he 1220 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 9: had a big body and he banged with some of 1221 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 9: the bigger centers and he was a great rebounder. And 1222 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 9: then Brandon Wright was one of the best rim threats 1223 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 9: that I've ever seen in the NBA and certainly ever coached. 1224 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 9: So it was it was rare in a game that 1225 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 9: year and we're in a playoff game that all three 1226 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 9: of them didn't play some minutes, So I don't know 1227 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 9: if it's gonna look like that. You know, We've got Isaiah, 1228 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 9: We've got Jay Huff who we traded for who's who's 1229 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:05,839 Speaker 9: a stretch big. 1230 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 10: We've got Tony Bradley, who. 1231 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,719 Speaker 9: You know was a very important player for us last 1232 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 9: year in the playoffs, you know, matching up with guys 1233 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 9: like Mitchell Robinson and and Jared Allen young as because 1234 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 9: he's a great rebounder and has great feel and and 1235 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 9: James Wiseman is in the mix too, and and Wiseman 1236 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 9: has done some very good things in preseasons. So and 1237 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 9: then and then we have Obi Toppen, who played you know, 1238 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 9: a pretty significant number of minutes at five during the 1239 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 9: regular season as well as the playoffs last year. So 1240 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 9: you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of 1241 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 9: options there and uh, and so we'll have to see 1242 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 9: how it all shakes out. But there's great opportunity and uh, 1243 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 9: the guys who are working hard, so we'll see what's what. 1244 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 1: Again, we have Rick carl Out, Indiana Pacers head coach, 1245 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: joining us on the Pilosicar's hot line right now, and Rick, 1246 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,479 Speaker 1: A lot of us have tuned into the Starting five 1247 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: Netflix documentary on Tyre's Halliburton and the field the players 1248 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA. I know you mentioned throughout the playoffs 1249 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 1: how much you loved or did not love the cameras 1250 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: being around you at all moments of the day. But 1251 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 1: as someone who experienced it firsthand, do you tune into 1252 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: those types of series? Are you someone who's just like, 1253 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: you know what, I have my fix living it out 1254 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 1: in real life? 1255 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, right now, I've got other things I'm focusing on. 1256 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 9: But I've heard it's very good, and I've heard that 1257 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 9: it's it's it's very compelling. I mean, certainly, certainly have 1258 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 9: certainly had a lot of footage to to choose from, 1259 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 9: and I know, I know a lot of the vast 1260 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 9: majority of it was not even around our facility or 1261 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 9: our team in our you know, in the hotel and 1262 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 9: stuff like that. A lot of them it was off site, 1263 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 9: you know, at h at Tyres's home, you know, or 1264 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 9: with his mom and dad, et cetera. So you know, 1265 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 9: from a human interest standpoint, I'm sure it's uh, I'm 1266 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:09,400 Speaker 9: sure it's excellent. And you know now nowadays, the access 1267 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 9: for that kind of stuff is uh, you know, it's 1268 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 9: it's it's. 1269 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 10: Like it's it's it's like never before. 1270 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 9: And and players are very comfortable with cameras following them 1271 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 9: around and with microphones on and stuff like that, and 1272 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 9: it's really it's it's all become a part of this business. 1273 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 9: And coaching is really not much different, you know, over 1274 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 9: the years, you know, as I've been president of the 1275 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 9: Coaches Association the last twenty years and really in seven 1276 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 9: this is when a lot of the real true access stuff. 1277 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 10: Came into the foe. 1278 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 9: You know, I've been I've been telling our coaches for 1279 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 9: for many years that you know, coaching the games and 1280 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 9: coaching developing players and all that is going to be 1281 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 9: is always going to be, you know, the major part 1282 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 9: of it, uh, you know, being on camera. And you know, 1283 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,400 Speaker 9: in some ways being a content creator. I hate that 1284 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 9: word because it's one of the it's one of the 1285 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 9: things that drives people, you know, nuts in our profession, 1286 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 9: you know, the people that come out with hot takes 1287 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 9: and all that kind of stuff. 1288 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 10: But but in a way, it's really true. 1289 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,439 Speaker 9: You know, you're gonna have robotic cameras in the locker room, 1290 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 9: maybe be a lot of different. 1291 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 10: Different approaches this year. You know, I think there's gonna 1292 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:29,320 Speaker 10: be a. 1293 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 9: A Peacock game every Monday Night where there's gonna be 1294 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 9: two guys, one guys sitting next right almost on the 1295 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 9: bench of one team, and another guy's gonna be on 1296 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 9: the bench of another's Austin Rivers and Robbie Humble, and 1297 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 9: these guys are gonna be trying to really get into 1298 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 9: the intimacies of the game. 1299 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 8: And so. 1300 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 9: Things are very ambitious in the world of access, which 1301 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 9: which I completely understand. And uh, you know, this year 1302 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 9: with with all the new broadcast parts, I mean there's 1303 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 9: like four or five different carriers of NBA basketball, and 1304 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 9: on the one hand. 1305 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 10: It's seems like it might be a bit confusing. 1306 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 9: On the other hand, I'm sure the network is going 1307 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 9: to make sure it's it's something that can be sorted 1308 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 9: out very easily. 1309 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 2: I get coach, there's probably a little bit of that, Hey, 1310 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,360 Speaker 2: we gotta, you know, move on from last year. But 1311 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 2: will you guys do anything pre game? 1312 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't to. 1313 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 2: Honor I don't know full building in there to honor 1314 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 2: last year's team.

It's a 1334 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 9: really nice trophy. It's actually very a bit nicer than 1335 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 9: the one they gave us in twenty eleven. 1336 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 10: So that was cool. 1337 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 9: But yeah, I know, it's hey, last year was last 1338 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 9: year was really great and there was so much about 1339 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 9: it that was moving and inspirational, etc. It got our 1340 01:02:54,880 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 9: fans really going.

And of course the big news, 1397 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 7: James Aaron Nesmith signs a two year, forty million dollar extension. 1398 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,320 Speaker 7: He'll be around for a couple of more years, right 1399 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 7: along with Tyrese Haliburton rat. 1400 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 1: Yes, I believe he is under contract to the twenty 1401 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty nine season, which will put him 1402 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 1: at about thirty years old, so right in the middle 1403 01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: of his prime still, and I think it's well deserved 1404 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 1: bonus raise for a player who, like Rick Carlo laid Out, 1405 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: has really come into his own here with the Pacers. 1406 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 7: And one contract that didn't get extended yesterday by the 1407 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 7: NBA deadline before the season started was that of Aaron Nice, 1408 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 7: not Aaron Eistmith, but Benedict Matherin. Are you a little 1409 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 7: surprised that that one didn't get done. 1410 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, I think we've talked about all 1411 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 2: off season long. I think for both parties it made 1412 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 2: some sense to probably let this season play out. It's 1413 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 2: a hell of an opportunity for Matherin. It's a pretty 1414 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 2: unique one just based off how you've utilized him in 1415 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 2: years past. So it's going to be a storyline all 1416 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 2: year long. The Pacers need him to carry a big 1417 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 2: time scoring burden, and as Ray Carlos said, does many 1418 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 2: times need him to do some other stuff to Really 1419 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 2: I think they kind of satisfy what they're looking for. 1420 01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 2: So I can't wait for Thursday night. We should note 1421 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 2: Thunder play tonight. I believe Jalen Williams, who battled that 1422 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 2: wrist in the NBA Finals, he's out for tonight to 1423 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 2: just something to keep an eye on as the Pacers 1424 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,680 Speaker 2: walking the Thunder coming up on Thursday. 1425 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 7: All right. National Football League had a doubleheader last night 1426 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 7: on Monday Night football. First game went to the Detroit Lions. 1427 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 7: They were winning your winners at home against the Tampa 1428 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,440 Speaker 7: Bay Buccaneers twenty four to nine. The final score there 1429 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 7: Jamiir Gibbs seventeen carries one hundred and thirty six yards 1430 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 7: two touchdowns. That team looked good last night. Meanwhile, the 1431 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 7: Seahawks won the nightcap over the Houston Texans twenty seven 1432 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 7: to nineteen. That always helps when an AFC South team loses. 1433 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 7: For the Indianapolis Colts, who are six and one, and 1434 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 7: they'll be hosting an AFC South opponent on Sunday for 1435 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:28,000 Speaker 7: twenty five late kickoff against the Tennessee Titans. You don't 1436 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,440 Speaker 7: expect to see a lot of Titans Colts games at 1437 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 7: four to twenty five in the afternoon. 1438 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: James I told you that one pm is God's time 1439 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to football. So the fact that this 1440 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: game's kicking off at four twenty five is a sin 1441 01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 1: in my opinion on a Sunday, But looking forward to 1442 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 1: be a bag of Lucas Oil Stadium and a chance 1443 01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: to move to seven to one on the year. And 1444 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 1: I expect that to be the case, considering just how 1445 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 1: much of the Titans have struggling, how much the Colts 1446 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:50,520 Speaker 1: have been rolling teams. 1447 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 7: All Right, we know who the participants in the twenty 1448 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 7: twenty five World Series are going to be. The Dodgers. 1449 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 7: After getting a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers are already 1450 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,080 Speaker 7: waiting for now the Toronto Blue Jay who won Game 1451 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,840 Speaker 7: seven of the ALCS last night on a three run 1452 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 7: home run in the bottom of the seventh from George Springer. 1453 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 7: They beat the Mariners by the score of four to three. 1454 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 7: They go to the World Series for the third time 1455 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,680 Speaker 7: in franchise history, denying the Mariners their first ever chance 1456 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 7: to play in the World Series. Two games tonight to 1457 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 7: kick off the i should say tip off the NBA season. 1458 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 7: Houston Rockets and Oklahoma Oklahoma City thunder play at seven 1459 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 7: thirty Golden State Warriors Los Angeles Lakers at ten. Both 1460 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,600 Speaker 7: games can be seen on NBC or Peacock tonight for 1461 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 7: your viewing pleasure. You were just talking about all the 1462 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,800 Speaker 7: different streaming services that the NBA is offering this year. 1463 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 7: Rick was very bullish on that. He was like, you'll 1464 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 7: figure it out. 1465 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Humble Austin Rivers thing sounds a bit unique. 1466 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 2: I'll be curious how that exactly plays out. 1467 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 5: So seemingly. 1468 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 2: Robbi Hummell, I think has done every Purdue in Indiana 1469 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,639 Speaker 2: game that I've watched over the last three years. 1470 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 5: I can only imagine how busy his schedule now continues. 1471 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 7: To be and Michael Jordan will be a special contributor 1472 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 7: on NBC all year long. Nobody knows what that means. 1473 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 2: A couple other things I'll add on IMS Oval test scene. 1474 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 2: It's a ton of guys out there the next two days, 1475 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 2: but you will have I think it's a little bit 1476 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 2: more equipment related, some changes. I think it'll turn two. 1477 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,640 Speaker 2: I saw so you hear some cars over there at 1478 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 2: sixteenth and Georgetown. And again, the best to Matthew Graves, 1479 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,720 Speaker 2: head coach of the Indiana State Sycamores. I think the 1480 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,720 Speaker 2: Graves family is well known around this state when it 1481 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,200 Speaker 2: comes to basketball lore, and by all accounts, Matthew Graves 1482 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 2: is a terrific individual. He underwent triple bypass surgery on 1483 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 2: Monday morning out there in terre Hot, so going to 1484 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 2: take a leave of absence. Best to him and his 1485 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 2: family here. Mark Slessinger, Ellsville's own, will be the acting 1486 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 2: head coach here for the Sycamores as they get started. 1487 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 7: Anything else you want to throw in, JB. 1488 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 1: No, I think that is all that I have. I'm 1489 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: just looking forward to getting back at it when it 1490 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 1: comes to colts practice tomorrow and seeing if they can 1491 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 1: keep the street going. 1492 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 7: All right, we'll talk more about the Colts, the current 1493 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 7: injury situation, more on all of the conversation the guys 1494 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 7: had with Rick Carlisle. Coming up in just a minute. 1495 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 4: Joel A. 1496 01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 7: Erickson talks Colts in the NFL at nine o'clock. It's 1497 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,920 Speaker 7: all right, good dear for Rick Carlisle, a head coach 1498 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,600 Speaker 7: of the Indiana Pacers with JB and KB. Just a 1499 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 7: moment ago and talking about a number of things as 1500 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 7: we get ready to move on to the season, as 1501 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 7: far as depth and injuries and all those things was 1502 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:16,879 Speaker 7: so much up in the air. What was your big takeaway, 1503 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 7: James from the way he sees rotations at the first 1504 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 7: part of the season. 1505 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,439 Speaker 1: Well, I think it was a couple of things. It 1506 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 1: was still being very fluid when it comes to who 1507 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: is going to help alleviate some of that point guard 1508 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,439 Speaker 1: pressure on Andrew Nimhar, especially considering the injuries to that 1509 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,639 Speaker 1: position right now, and then also at center, not really 1510 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: having a sets answer there. He said, Hey, Isaiah Jackson 1511 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: started all four games. I believe we're in the preseason, 1512 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,760 Speaker 1: but we're still open to, you know, looking at what 1513 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,000 Speaker 1: other guys maybe have to offer, and so those are 1514 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 1: the two, I guess team related things that I'm most 1515 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 1: focused on. And then obviously Kevin. He did give I 1516 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,680 Speaker 1: think a pretty thorough update on Cam Jones and his 1517 01:10:58,800 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: arrest yesterday. 1518 01:10:59,600 --> 01:10:59,800 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1519 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 2: I didn't get the vibe at all, James that they 1520 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 2: are all of a sudden making a point guard move 1521 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 2: in the next hour before they start practice here coming 1522 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 2: up at twelve thirty. You know, sometimes you see this, 1523 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 2: you know NFL for example, and I get the rosters 1524 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 2: are much bigger, but you set the initial roster and 1525 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,719 Speaker 2: then you tinker with it a little bit and maybe 1526 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 2: they will. But it didn't sound like four centers right now, 1527 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,800 Speaker 2: really one. I guess two in Ray j Dennis healthy 1528 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,560 Speaker 2: point guards and Rag's on a two way deal. It 1529 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,879 Speaker 2: doesn't sound like a huge amount of urgency to necessarily 1530 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,240 Speaker 2: go out there and add the next Cameron Pay, the 1531 01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 2: next to one, right, the next Monte Morris, et cetera, 1532 01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 2: et cetera. So that's I think a question a lot 1533 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 2: of fans had with Thursday night. You get in here, 1534 01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 2: and yeah, I would say the Cam Jones thing. I 1535 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,840 Speaker 2: don't know, Rick probably, I don't know, downplayed it or 1536 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 2: I don't know thought it was a tad overblown. I 1537 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 2: think that's I'm paraphrasing. Obviously, we'll play that audio maybe 1538 01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 2: coming up in the nine o'clock hour, But he doesn't 1539 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 2: seem to be too concerned by yesterday's Cam Jones arrest. 1540 01:11:58,400 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 7: Now, I basically said, at the end of the day, 1541 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,160 Speaker 7: it probably end up being a speeding ticket, right, That's 1542 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:04,680 Speaker 7: kind of what he said. So we'll keep an eye 1543 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 7: on that and figure out what the the Pacers have 1544 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 7: to do with as far as I think, again, just 1545 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 7: death more than anything. Starting off the season, I don't mind. 1546 01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 7: I think there's probably times to see Obi Topping joining 1547 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 7: some of those guys. 1548 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 2: I think Obi Topping with the starting five is probably 1549 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 2: your best five man unit. The question you would have 1550 01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 2: specifically for Thursday night is we know that opponent very 1551 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:29,320 Speaker 2: very well, and Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein are quite Yeah, 1552 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 2: the big dude, so how do you count? You know, 1553 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,160 Speaker 2: there are some opponents where you can get by, I. 1554 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:35,840 Speaker 1: Think with the extent I think, but I think that's 1555 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: like the Mimickey kind of lineup, where like you can 1556 01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 1: do it for certain spurts and you can turn to 1557 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,760 Speaker 1: it for a spark like they did Honestly, last year 1558 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: when tiers albur was healthy one Obi played the five. 1559 01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 1: They were running and moving and doing all these things. 1560 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,280 Speaker 1: But we all knew that's not you can't sustain that 1561 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,599 Speaker 1: over a forty eight minute game with Obi at the five. 1562 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 1: He's just not a center, a true center. So yeah, 1563 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,720 Speaker 1: I would agree there, Kevin, But man, I'm like, uh, 1564 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, there's certain things you can't make up for 1565 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 1: when you just don't have the height and the weight 1566 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:05,680 Speaker 1: and you know the things that. 1567 01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,640 Speaker 2: Okay, seeing other teams have to offer when it comes 1568 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 2: to their big man, well, then taking Obie out of 1569 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 2: the second unit is also a huge, long good point. 1570 01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 2: You start, well, what your second unit makeup would be 1571 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 2: without Obie? I mean it's some let's call Ray j 1572 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 2: Dennis the backup point guard, just to say it, okay, him, Shepherd, Jars, Walker, Furfey, 1573 01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 2: you know some center. I don't know what that would 1574 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,240 Speaker 2: look like if Obi then were to bump up. So 1575 01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 2: definitely some questions. You know, from a starting lineup rotational standpoint, 1576 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,360 Speaker 2: much different than recent years, when you know, for the 1577 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 2: most part you knew what it was going to be. H. 1578 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 7: I can't wait for the season just to see how 1579 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 7: Rick manages all of this, especially with injuries to that 1580 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 7: second unit to start the season off. And it sounds 1581 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 7: kind of like all the things that he said today 1582 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 7: and what I've been reading sounds Kevin like he he's 1583 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 7: kind of curious to see how it all works out, too. 1584 01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 7: Is he's going to try a bunch of different things 1585 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 7: to start with? 1586 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I mean I think there's a Yeah, there's 1587 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 2: an intrigue to that. I'm sure there's a balance between 1588 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 2: intrigue and you know, he can make you a little 1589 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 2: maddening of Haliburton Street close. I'd much rather have him 1590 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 2: not rocking that. And you know, obviously center rotation, Sure 1591 01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,760 Speaker 2: he's done it before in Dallas, but Miles Turner is 1592 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 2: pretty quality player as well. 1593 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 8: Well. 1594 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,760 Speaker 7: I just know that this is an entertaining team, and 1595 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 7: I don't know, you know, everybody's talking about thirty seven 1596 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 7: and a half wins. I still feel like that's an 1597 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 7: achievable over for the Pacers. I feel good about that. 1598 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 7: But they're going to have their challenges, there's no question 1599 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 7: about that, probably against some of the deeper, better teams 1600 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 7: as time goes on. But I still think that they're 1601 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 7: gonna be a tough out for anybody that comes in here, 1602 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 7: especially in the second, third, or fourth game of a 1603 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 7: road trip, It's going to be tough. They're not going 1604 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 7: to get out of here easily. 1605 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: By the way, Joel A. 1606 01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:47,599 Speaker 2: Rickson going to join us coming up at nine, James, 1607 01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,760 Speaker 2: I know you and I have talked about this one 1608 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,640 Speaker 2: thing we've really Joel does a wonderful job covering in 1609 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,120 Speaker 2: the Colts. One thing in particular, I think he's done 1610 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 2: a really nice job of here. Within the start of 1611 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 2: the season, he has published two features on the Orsay 1612 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,880 Speaker 2: daughter so far. I believe the third one on Caitlin 1613 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,720 Speaker 2: Jackson is coming up, but it looks like he's gone 1614 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:06,400 Speaker 2: in birth. 1615 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 5: Order, if you will. 1616 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 2: So he started with Carly who you see of course 1617 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 2: on the sidelines, and then Casey Foy was last week, 1618 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 2: I believe, maybe the week prior to that. So among 1619 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,800 Speaker 2: on field Colts items with Joel A. Erickson, I think 1620 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:21,479 Speaker 2: we'll chat about that with him when he joins us 1621 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 2: here coming up at nine o'clock. 1622 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 5: Maybe skip over the baseball mark. Oh what are you 1623 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 5: talking about his Brewers made to the NLCS.

And this 1654 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 7: is I think we all go into this season like, 1655 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 7: what do we expect. No Miles Turner, no Tyrese Haliburton, 1656 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 7: everybody banged up in the second unit this You know, 1657 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 7: it was ten and fifteen for the first twenty five 1658 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,800 Speaker 7: games last year because of some injuries. Are we looking 1659 01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,680 Speaker 7: at the same kind of start again? Only anybody know? 1660 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:02,559 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously we don't know at this point in time, 1661 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 7: But I just I don't know what to expect other 1662 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 7: than I think this team, based on the experience of 1663 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,519 Speaker 7: last year, gonna win games that people think that they're 1664 01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 7: not gonna be able to win. 1665 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:12,600 Speaker 2: You know, I mentioned about an hour ago, and I 1666 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 2: think Rick Carlisle kind of confirmed that. I think the 1667 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 2: schedule is really tough out of the gate. I mean 1668 01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 2: not just the thunder opening night, but you go on 1669 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,639 Speaker 2: the road for those first three. I think John Morant 1670 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 2: is supposed to be healthy. I know Zach Ed's out 1671 01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,520 Speaker 2: for the Grizzlies for those I care from a local standpoint, 1672 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 2: and then you go out Wes pretty early in November. 1673 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 2: You've got the Miles Turner return game on that Monday there, 1674 01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 2: so you know you're gonna see I think, quite a 1675 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 2: test here early in the season. So yeah, I mean 1676 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 2: there definitely could be some growing pains with a lot 1677 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 2: of new not necessarily new faces, but guys just in new, different, 1678 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 2: expanded roles. 1679 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, and looking forward to Opening Night Thursday, you'll hear 1680 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 7: it live right here on ninety three five and one 1681 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 7: on seven to five of the Fan as the Pacers 1682 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 7: get rolling against the Oklahoma City Thunder and again double 1683 01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 7: header for NBA tonight.

Lebron's out, 1689 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 1: but I think personally, just knowing my era of basketball 1690 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: I grew up on, I'm like, I don't want to 1691 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,920 Speaker 1: miss too many more of the Lebron, Steph Curry kat games, 1692 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,560 Speaker 1: just because they're not going to be here forever.

Lebron's going 1697 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: into twenty three.

Remember 1705 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,720 Speaker 1: three year old Mark, the nice line and a card 1706 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 1: to work here. 1707 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 5: That's just a core memory of a young sports fan, 1708 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 5: Mark Dyten, of hearing round Ball this song. Yes, okay, 1709 01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:14,160 Speaker 5: just making sure Albert biting prostitutes and getting ready to 1710 01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 5: call a great basketball game. 1711 01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,640 Speaker 7: How did I know you were going to listening? I 1712 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 7: just how did I know that's. 1713 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 10: Where you were? 1714 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:22,599 Speaker 5: On a Wikipedia page? 1715 01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 1: I remember that I was about to say, you know, 1716 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 1: a couple of days on Wikipedia. Pangs gonna come to 1717 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,080 Speaker 1: a few people out there, Yes, who wins the Eastern Conference? Well, 1718 01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 1: I have this question. I'm going to say this, and 1719 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 1: I thought I'm going to get booed immediately. 1720 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:36,360 Speaker 7: If you say it. 1721 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 5: If I think I know where you're going? 1722 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 1: The Knicks? 1723 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:42,880 Speaker 7: Okay, I feel like there. 1724 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,360 Speaker 5: Did you think he was going Mark? I thought he 1725 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,640 Speaker 5: might go Cleveland. I thought he even might go Milwaukee. 1726 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 2: Oh, I would think more of our audience would want 1727 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,919 Speaker 2: you to boo the Knicks than boo Cleveland. 1728 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 1: I think it was probably I will go man. I 1729 01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,080 Speaker 1: think it's talked up between the Knicks and perhaps the Calves. 1730 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 1: I mean the Knicks the most personnel back, That's what 1731 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, they have a new coach, that is true, 1732 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,920 Speaker 1: but taking a team to the finals as the coach, 1733 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 1: he's been a championship coaches and assistant like he's not 1734 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,320 Speaker 1: something no name, I guess, I don't know. 1735 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,120 Speaker 2: I mean outside of the thunder now, I'm involving the West, 1736 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 2: of course, but good luck picking to through whatever out 1737 01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 2: west and in the East, good luck picking one through eight. 1738 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:23,599 Speaker 5: I mean it's. 1739 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, do we see any team like are the 1740 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 1: magic ready odds. I don't believe. I know, but if 1741 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 1: you look at this world, it's a core that's been together. 1742 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,760 Speaker 1: Injury hurts me so much. Carol just coming into his 1743 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,320 Speaker 1: prime now to talk about. 1744 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 2: Them in a similar light to how they've talked about 1745 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,200 Speaker 2: the Pacers in recent years. I mean, somebody's got to 1746 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,160 Speaker 2: be up there. I mean, without true about Halliburton, I mean, 1747 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:51,599 Speaker 2: no one's betting on the freaking Sixers. So yeah, New 1748 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,240 Speaker 2: York or Cleveland will probably be the two that I 1749 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,200 Speaker 2: would come back to because also the overwhelming favorite. But 1750 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 2: Garland's got a tow injury. Still, Yeah, he's not going 1751 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:01,640 Speaker 2: to start the year. 1752 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 7: I can tractually cannot pick any New York team to 1753 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 7: ever win anything. And I hope the Knicks fall on 1754 01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,400 Speaker 7: their face and crash before it's all said and done. 1755 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,360 Speaker 7: I can't. I can't see. There's just something about that 1756 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,840 Speaker 7: team in that building, with that owner. I don't think 1757 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 7: they can get out of their own way for one 1758 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 7: reason or the other. 1759 01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 1: Dang, where where does this Nix hate come from? 1760 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:26,559 Speaker 7: In general?

Dang, 1767 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:39,519 Speaker 7: I must say, I like New York the city now, 1768 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 7: but yeah, I can't wait to get out of there either. 1769 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 1: Well, Nix hate well as you welcome on these airwaves. 1770 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,280 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of the listeners, Jeff. 1771 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,599 Speaker 5: Feet touch in New York City gives it a good 1772 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 5: farmer's blow right on the sidewalk. 1773 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:50,360 Speaker 1: That's why I think of you. 1774 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 7: You're on fire today, Mark, Do you see the reverence there? 1775 01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 10: No, I'm excited. 1776 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 7: I am to see as a as a broadcast nerd. 1777 01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 7: I'm really excited to see what the first five minutes 1778 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,760 Speaker 7: of that NBC getting the NBA back tonight is going 1779 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 7: to look like.

This is worse than he was trying 1858 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 2: to complain about the officials and the Bears gave up fifty. 1859 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 5: Good song. 1860 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 1: I just know that your team is where Mark's team 1861 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:41,439 Speaker 1: went to die this year. 1862 01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 7: That's all. 1863 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's I don't know where Mark's going with 1864 01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 8: this one. It's it's pretty tough. Did they played my 1865 01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 8: team in the playoffs and lost? 1866 01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 7: So I agree? 1867 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,240 Speaker 8: James James James as the as the resident expert on 1868 01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:00,519 Speaker 8: trash talk. What what's what's Mark? Guy? Chances they're not here. 1869 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,559 Speaker 5: So he hung the l flag and then they won 1870 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:04,880 Speaker 5: zero games from then out. 1871 01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: Exactly. That's where you're going to say, Hey, we won 1872 01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:08,880 Speaker 1: the same amount of games in the next series. 1873 01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 8: Yeah. So so, Mark, who has played like every Cub 1874 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:16,639 Speaker 8: song possible when I come on the radio, was upset 1875 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 8: that the Brewers trolled the Cubs after beating them. 1876 01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 5: This is a new love Brother syndrome. That's all it is. 1877 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 2: We're here scratching his back. Man, this is pathetic. This 1878 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe. I can't believe he's stooped to this level. 1879 01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,280 Speaker 2: Kevin suggested this song. 1880 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: Hell no, good morning, Joe. 1881 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 7: How are you doing today? 1882 01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 8: I'm good, I'm good. 1883 01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 10: Are you guys do it? 1884 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,920 Speaker 7: We're great? Thanks for joining us. Is always on the 1885 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:44,479 Speaker 7: Payless Liquors hotline six and one in leading so many 1886 01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 7: offensive categories and number one ranked in the AFC Like 1887 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,400 Speaker 7: it does not appear like this train is gonna slow down. 1888 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,000 Speaker 7: What do you think so far of this this Colts team. 1889 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think I think we're kind of 1890 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,479 Speaker 8: at the point now where we should expect this Colts 1891 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 8: offense to be great until they honestly, honestly, it's not 1892 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 8: even just one performance anymore. It's got to be a 1893 01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,519 Speaker 8: bunch of performances go wrong in a row before we 1894 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:16,040 Speaker 8: readjust because you know that Chargers team coming in, there's 1895 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,639 Speaker 8: they're passing stats for like this is the top five 1896 01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 8: pass defense. The Colts went out and Daniel Jones threw 1897 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,120 Speaker 8: for two hundred and eighty eight yards and they had 1898 01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 8: four hundred yards, and you know they it's there's there's 1899 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 8: nothing to I know, there's still people saying some stuff 1900 01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,559 Speaker 8: about the schedule, but the Broncos are like a top 1901 01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 8: up until up until a sudden, they were like a 1902 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 8: top two defense. They're just really good on offense. They're 1903 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 8: really balanced, They've got a good offensive line. They don't 1904 01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,800 Speaker 8: have to run jat all the time, so when they do, 1905 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,920 Speaker 8: it's more it's even more effective. And they got a 1906 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 8: whole bunch of different weapons. It's really hard to find 1907 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:53,639 Speaker 8: a weakness in the way the Colts have played offense. 1908 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 2: So far, joellet's foreign for Chris Bauer to sit here 1909 01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 2: at this part of the season and be in the 1910 01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:00,720 Speaker 2: position that they are. I tend to think he will 1911 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:05,599 Speaker 2: be looking at making a move now. Where exactly that happens, though, 1912 01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 2: I think is a pretty good debate, So I'll throw 1913 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 2: it your way. You think cornerback or the You think 1914 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 2: defensive end is more pressing right now, I. 1915 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 8: Think it's cornerback. I just think, you know, they they're 1916 01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,360 Speaker 8: not getting as much edge rush as I think most 1917 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,040 Speaker 8: people would would like to see. It's still it's still 1918 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,120 Speaker 8: a DeForest Buckner heavy pass rush from the inside, but 1919 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 8: they have players. You know, if if there were more 1920 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 8: serious injuries to Ebicom and Taekwon Lewis, it doesn't sound 1921 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:39,000 Speaker 8: like those injuries are are long term. You know, I 1922 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:43,120 Speaker 8: think maybe you could make the edge edge rusher argument 1923 01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,800 Speaker 8: a little bit better. The argument against corner to me, 1924 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,160 Speaker 8: is really just that there don't seem to be a 1925 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 8: bunch of good ones out there on the market, but 1926 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:56,600 Speaker 8: the situation they're in just in terms of depth and 1927 01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:58,800 Speaker 8: injury and not knowing when people are going to be back. 1928 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 8: If it was me, I go get a corner and 1929 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,680 Speaker 8: I think the other thing is Chris Ballor himself has 1930 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,680 Speaker 8: signaled to us all offseason that this defense needs cornerbacks. 1931 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,160 Speaker 8: You know that they clearly don't have answers too, because 1932 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 8: you know they played Cameron Mitchell and Jonathanwards about the 1933 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,800 Speaker 8: same amount on Sunday. They need to find somebody who 1934 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:22,680 Speaker 8: they can feel like they can play them with these 1935 01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:24,280 Speaker 8: guys on the injured reserve. 1936 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,720 Speaker 2: Could you make the argument Javeri's Ward will be back 1937 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 2: at some point and there's no Javaria's Ward at defensive end. 1938 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 8: Uh. I think you could. I think you could. And 1939 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,439 Speaker 8: you could also make the argument that you know, at 1940 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 8: the trade deadline, you take what's available, and so if 1941 01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:42,320 Speaker 8: if there's pass rushers available, you could you can do that. 1942 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,559 Speaker 8: I think you could make that argument. I just think 1943 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 8: that we've seen games already. The Rams game is one 1944 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,360 Speaker 8: of them where they're getting pressure off the edge and 1945 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,280 Speaker 8: it doesn't matter because the corners can't hold up long 1946 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,719 Speaker 8: enough to uh to keep the quarter make the quarterback 1947 01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:00,600 Speaker 8: hold the ball. So I just think they gotta have 1948 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 8: they gotta have help at that cornerback position. 1949 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,559 Speaker 1: And again we have Joel a Ericson joining us from 1950 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:09,479 Speaker 1: Indie Starr on the Paylow Stickers hot Line and Joel, 1951 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:14,400 Speaker 1: I must admit you might have the biggest man crush 1952 01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,320 Speaker 1: on to Forest Buckner. There is no greater appreciator. I 1953 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,960 Speaker 1: think you're said, Rego Sa, what I mean, there's a no. 1954 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 1: First of all, Joe is a crush on anything that 1955 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 1: looks weird in football, that looks old schooling football, and 1956 01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,760 Speaker 1: that like hurts my brain happy fourth down exactly. Like 1957 01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,600 Speaker 1: he's the guy who keeps up with all the weird intricacies. 1958 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, you were on the Zoom call a couple 1959 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 1: weeks ago Kevin where we had special teams coordinator Brian 1960 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,479 Speaker 1: Mason joined and he gives a Joel's shout out because 1961 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:40,960 Speaker 1: he noticed some weird thing in practice. And I'm like, 1962 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 1: of course Joel noticed this. So getting back to the point, 1963 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,920 Speaker 1: what how would you describe the formans that the Forest 1964 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,360 Speaker 1: Buckner put on Sunday and the level he's playing at 1965 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:50,880 Speaker 1: this season. 1966 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:56,080 Speaker 8: It's he's The hard thing with Buckner is that with 1967 01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:58,519 Speaker 8: pass rushers, everyone always looks at sacks, and I think 1968 01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 8: that's kind of what happened. What's happened the buttoner is 1969 01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,439 Speaker 8: just that from a national perspective, he doesn't get the 1970 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 8: same credit that like a Chris Jones gets or some 1971 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 8: of these other guys. He's just because honestly, the Colts. 1972 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:11,479 Speaker 1: Haven't been good. 1973 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 8: But I kind of do this thing during games most 1974 01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:16,759 Speaker 8: of the time where I try to watch the line 1975 01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 8: first and then and then and then move on to 1976 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 8: where the ball's going. And Buttoner has just faced so 1977 01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 8: many double teams this year. If he if you, he 1978 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 8: said after the game on Sunday, he said something about, 1979 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,960 Speaker 8: like I was able to win my one on ones 1980 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,799 Speaker 8: when I got him. I went back and watched his sacks. 1981 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,680 Speaker 8: He didn't really get right on right, but he got 1982 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 8: double teams where he beat one guy first and then 1983 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,519 Speaker 8: the next guy second, so he kind of turned the 1984 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 8: double team into two one on ones. 1985 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,280 Speaker 10: He's a guy, that's he. 1986 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,680 Speaker 8: I just don't think he's probably appreciated enough nationally for 1987 01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 8: how good he is. He's right up there with those 1988 01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 8: other defensive tackles, and it's just it's just a matter 1989 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 8: of team success. A game like the other day, it's 1990 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 8: not a great Charger offensive line, but he's got to 1991 01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:05,040 Speaker 8: fight through a double team on like literally almost every snap. 1992 01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:07,400 Speaker 1: If there is someone who is if there is ever 1993 01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:11,400 Speaker 1: a moment in the history of football where DeForest Buckner 1994 01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:14,880 Speaker 1: is without fans. It is because joy Eric something has 1995 01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:16,640 Speaker 1: happened to him. I gotta go find it. I was 1996 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,160 Speaker 1: checking my buddy because that man gave him his flowers, 1997 01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,160 Speaker 1: and deservedly so. The tape is unbelievable from what we 1998 01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 1: saw from the Forest Buckner Rego or buck. 1999 01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,800 Speaker 8: Oh man, Do I have to choose. 2000 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:32,000 Speaker 10: The question? 2001 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 1: The father of three boys here is pausing. 2002 01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:38,280 Speaker 8: I don't. I don't want to. I don't want to choose. 2003 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 8: I might, I might. I might have to go Rego 2004 01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:42,680 Speaker 8: just to just to stay consistent. 2005 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Buckner's got enough people that's fair on his boat, 2006 01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 2: and there there's the there's there's not enough. 2007 01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:51,560 Speaker 8: I might have to go with the Witch. He's the 2008 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,840 Speaker 8: way the way the ball bounces on those plots like 2009 01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,479 Speaker 8: people are really aren't appreciating it now because he's not 2010 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,240 Speaker 8: playing at all, which is great for Colts, But you know, 2011 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,240 Speaker 8: you got to appreciate Rigo Sanchez when he's out there. 2012 01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's bad for your fandom and you're carrying the 2013 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 2: flag for it. Joeli Erickson from The Star with the 2014 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,800 Speaker 2: Serre Palistickers hotline. Joey teas a little bit earlier. Really 2015 01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 2: enjoyed reading so far too, and feel free to tease 2016 01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 2: uh when the Kaylin Jackson feature will be published. But 2017 01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 2: you've written on both the older Ursay daughters so far, 2018 01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:26,559 Speaker 2: Carly and Casey. I think excellent reads, just great backgrounds, 2019 01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 2: particularly Casey, who was probably the least in the spotlight 2020 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 2: from an organizational standpoint. Yes, she is married to a foight. 2021 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:35,320 Speaker 1: Really really well done. 2022 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 2: Kind of how did that idea start and just any 2023 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 2: grand takeaways you've had in chatting with him. 2024 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,639 Speaker 8: Well, I think I think it's something that we've kind 2025 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 8: of wanted to do for a while. And the idea 2026 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:53,360 Speaker 8: was really not necessarily to write something that's uh, you know, 2027 01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,240 Speaker 8: where we slam in on all of the issues pertaining 2028 01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 8: to the team and do all all and you know, 2029 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,720 Speaker 8: do the super newsy stuff. Deea was to sort of 2030 01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:04,479 Speaker 8: introduce these three people to the city of Indianapolis and 2031 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 8: in whatever way we could. Because we we knew a 2032 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:12,240 Speaker 8: ton about Jim Mersey and and his likes and dislikes 2033 01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 8: and how, you know, how like how he thought and everything. 2034 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,800 Speaker 8: We didn't know as much about the people taking over 2035 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:18,400 Speaker 8: for him, and so that's that's kind of where the 2036 01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 8: genesis of the story went. I think one of the 2037 01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:25,800 Speaker 8: things that maybe is the biggest takeaway is that I 2038 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,439 Speaker 8: think when when they took over, there was sort of 2039 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:30,600 Speaker 8: this feeling or the way they were, the way it 2040 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 8: was talked about, was like, you know, they're stepping into 2041 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,640 Speaker 8: this new role that they haven't this new role. It's 2042 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:40,040 Speaker 8: and it is new in terms of them being the 2043 01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,360 Speaker 8: the three of them, with with Karl obviously being the 2044 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 8: principal owner, being the primary owners. But the thing I 2045 01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,200 Speaker 8: think sticks out to me is that it's really not 2046 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 8: new for them. They've been doing this stuff for a really, 2047 01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:57,160 Speaker 8: really long time, and the thing that changed is just 2048 01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 8: that they're officially in charge. 2049 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:00,680 Speaker 7: Talking to Joel A. 2050 01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,800 Speaker 1: Erickson and the klin one ye is it coming out? 2051 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 8: It should be. I was working on that last night, 2052 01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:09,280 Speaker 8: and it will come down to when the right time 2053 01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,560 Speaker 8: to publish it is from the Indie Star offices. So 2054 01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:15,080 Speaker 8: that one, that one is coming soon. I don't know 2055 01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 8: exactly when, but it's coming soon. 2056 01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:18,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell him to keep a move on it. I 2057 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 1: trolled Joel with this after every game because we were 2058 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,200 Speaker 1: in LA last week and obviously all the other stories 2059 01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 1: that he does and I tell him is Hammel subscriber, 2060 01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:28,639 Speaker 1: so I need those stories on time, and he certainly, 2061 01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, feeds the beast. So I'm shouting the star 2062 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,000 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be telling Mark to kiss his ass 2063 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 1: after telling you to kiss his ass. Well, I mean, 2064 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 1: he knows. I feel like Joel just kind of like 2065 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,479 Speaker 1: the little brother. He just looks at me, he goes, yeah, 2066 01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tune this guy out for the moment 2067 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,479 Speaker 1: and get back to work, which usually is and I'd 2068 01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:47,240 Speaker 1: imagine that's why he's so successful what he does. 2069 01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:50,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean part of it. Part of it 2070 01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 8: is just the way the way it works with us 2071 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:54,800 Speaker 8: being the local paper. Like I there's there's more that 2072 01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 8: needs to be written for me. And now you know, 2073 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:00,720 Speaker 8: now I I we have Nathan Band on the beat too, 2074 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 8: so I've got some help. But for the first seven 2075 01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,639 Speaker 8: weeks of the season, it wasn't so like what James 2076 01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:10,439 Speaker 8: is kind of referring to is like on Sunday we 2077 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,360 Speaker 8: got to the press block and I was like, so, 2078 01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 8: there's eight things I could write, and like, I think 2079 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:18,880 Speaker 8: somebody else would have to make the decision. I think 2080 01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:22,639 Speaker 8: I wrote five of them or six of them. Depending 2081 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:25,679 Speaker 8: on when you want to do that, and James James 2082 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:27,240 Speaker 8: is always like, hey, you got to have that up 2083 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 8: before you get to the radio show, just in case 2084 01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 8: there's something I didn't know about there. 2085 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:32,000 Speaker 1: You come serious. 2086 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,560 Speaker 2: By the way, shout out to Nathan Brown.

And I thought Nathan 2095 01:36:57,439 --> 01:36:59,880 Speaker 2: did such a great job at the start. I worked 2096 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,080 Speaker 2: on the back of the IDs way back in the 2097 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 2: day and was always very admiring frankly of his work 2098 01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:09,080 Speaker 2: ethic uh so looking forward to having him joined the base. 2099 01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,320 Speaker 2: It's a loss for Indy Car, but good news for 2100 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:12,719 Speaker 2: Joeli Ericson in his workload. 2101 01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 8: I I think I think the coolest thing to see 2102 01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,400 Speaker 8: was yesterday after Nathan, you know, put his his I'm 2103 01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:23,240 Speaker 8: headed to the cold speat message there on on the 2104 01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,120 Speaker 8: social media accounts.

We 2120 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:09,200 Speaker 7: know the NFL is in any given Sunday, but it 2121 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 7: doesn't look good for the Titans right now. Is that 2122 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 7: line more an indication of how good the Colts are 2123 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 7: thought to be or how bad the Titans are a 2124 01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 7: little bit of both. 2125 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 10: Man. 2126 01:38:20,320 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 8: I'm I'm not the biggest betting expert for you. I 2127 01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 8: don't feel like you see lines like fourteen and a 2128 01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:29,040 Speaker 8: half in the NFL very often. That feels more like 2129 01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 8: a like a good SEC team versus a bad big 2130 01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,759 Speaker 8: twelve team type of line or something. I don't know's 2131 01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 8: I think it's probably both. I think the answer is 2132 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,519 Speaker 8: probably both. People are realizing that the Colts just put 2133 01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:46,240 Speaker 8: up points. They just score points every week, regardless of 2134 01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:48,479 Speaker 8: the matchup. And I think the other thing is just 2135 01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:51,320 Speaker 8: this Titan team doesn't have a head coach. They feel 2136 01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 8: pretty rudderless at the moment, and that's how you get 2137 01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:56,200 Speaker 8: one of the bigger lines you're gonna see in the NFL. 2138 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 2: Joel the Colts. This would be the twelfth time, assuming 2139 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:03,640 Speaker 2: this whole, since two thousand, they've been a two touchdown favorite. 2140 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 2: They are ten and one in such games. Can you 2141 01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:08,760 Speaker 2: recall the one? 2142 01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,040 Speaker 8: I cannot. I'm bad with betting lines. I'm terrible. 2143 01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 1: M's have to be the jack with Jacksonville. You joined 2144 01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:16,840 Speaker 1: the beat win. 2145 01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:19,400 Speaker 8: Twenty eighteen? 2146 01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 5: It is it? 2147 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,559 Speaker 8: It's twenty eighteen, so is it the. 2148 01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:26,400 Speaker 10: Is it? 2149 01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 8: The season op in twenty twenty. 2150 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 2: A Colts player who made a special teams tackle on 2151 01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,600 Speaker 2: Sunday scored the first touchdown in this game for the opponents. 2152 01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:40,360 Speaker 8: Oh I know, okay, Oh it's nineteen Hinds. 2153 01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, James Boyd. 2154 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:46,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm missing the game. 2155 01:39:47,160 --> 01:39:49,080 Speaker 1: Gonna say it's Lakwan Treadwell. 2156 01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:56,240 Speaker 2: Lakwan Treadwell as Jacksonville Jaguar the season finale in twenty 2157 01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,759 Speaker 2: twenty one, that game is just cursed. 2158 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,520 Speaker 5: And yes, indeed that was jest. 2159 01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:08,800 Speaker 8: If Daniel Jones beats Jacksonville in Jacksonville, does that does 2160 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,280 Speaker 8: that make him like like, does that that make him 2161 01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:11,719 Speaker 8: the ultimate? 2162 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:12,040 Speaker 10: Yeah? 2163 01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've said this for the Peyton Manning statue 2164 01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,920 Speaker 2: goes to Shapiro's parking lot and Daniel Jones statue goes 2165 01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 2: out front. 2166 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:18,880 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2167 01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,840 Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones walked into the locker room after 2168 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,559 Speaker 1: the game Joel with an extension in hand and says, 2169 01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, I already signed. All I need to do 2170 01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:29,080 Speaker 1: is add a couple of zeros and then you can sign. 2171 01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:30,200 Speaker 1: And is this right? 2172 01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:32,479 Speaker 2: The Colts were down twenty six to three in that 2173 01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:34,000 Speaker 2: game with five minutes to go. 2174 01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:37,720 Speaker 8: God, that is right, Yeah, that is right? 2175 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 1: And that was they had to win to get in 2176 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,679 Speaker 1: right I I still think though. 2177 01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 8: That the most the more most confusing one in the 2178 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:48,960 Speaker 8: Jacksonville streak is when the twenty eighteen right after I 2179 01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:50,720 Speaker 8: got in the beat, when the twenty eighteen Colts were 2180 01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,599 Speaker 8: in the middle of running off Penn wins and eleven 2181 01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:54,640 Speaker 8: games and. 2182 01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,640 Speaker 5: The one game they lost was to like Cody Tetteh 2183 01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:58,439 Speaker 5: six nothing. 2184 01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 8: In Jacksonville and they scored an points. That one is 2185 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 8: the one that I still can't like, I can't process that. 2186 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:07,040 Speaker 2: One more so than Philip Rivers losing to was it 2187 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:08,800 Speaker 2: Urban Meyer. I'm trying to think of the head coach 2188 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,120 Speaker 2: would have been in twenty twenty. Didn't Jacksonville go one 2189 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,000 Speaker 2: and fifteen and their only win was over the Colts? 2190 01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:15,600 Speaker 8: They they did, but like some of that, you just 2191 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,000 Speaker 8: kind of go like a season opener, Yeah, covid year. 2192 01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,200 Speaker 8: That team didn't really hit its stride until after that 2193 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,040 Speaker 8: Rivers Cleveland Brown's game, the Andrew Luck one. The other 2194 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,080 Speaker 8: thing is I think that there's also a personal element 2195 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 8: to me. I had this story geared up on the 2196 01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:34,080 Speaker 8: Colts offense and how they'd found balance, and we had 2197 01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:38,080 Speaker 8: to push it back like a month because my editor 2198 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,479 Speaker 8: correctly was like, well, we can't run a story about 2199 01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,559 Speaker 8: how good the offense is that they scored no points 2200 01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:43,320 Speaker 8: in Jacksonville. 2201 01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, all I remember was a million red zone drives 2202 01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:48,599 Speaker 2: and none of them working, and then like going forward 2203 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 2: constantly on fourth down. Joel, thank you for the time, 2204 01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:57,000 Speaker 2: and I will say, respectfully, Mark Dyton kiss Joel's ass. 2205 01:41:58,160 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 8: Wow. 2206 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:00,679 Speaker 5: My thing is, why didn't they use the W flag? 2207 01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,360 Speaker 5: Why'd they do the L flag? Because now you haven't 2208 01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:06,800 Speaker 5: meme for twenty years because your team lost, but they 2209 01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 5: but the Brewers won. Once you hang the W flag, 2210 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:10,120 Speaker 5: we don't fly. 2211 01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,880 Speaker 8: We don't fly a flag.

And we all know about Kurt Signette. We'll 2241 01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:22,360 Speaker 7: hear from him a little bit later on the show too. 2242 01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 7: But yeah, Scott Dallson tomorrow, looking forward to that and 2243 01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,960 Speaker 7: talking about all things Indiana athletics.

Nobody still knows. 2246 01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,560 Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, big win over Marion, you'd kind of 2247 01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,440 Speaker 7: expect that. So what happens. 2248 01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:39,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely you lose to Mary and we got problems. 2249 01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:41,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, let's check everything down and let you 2250 01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:43,360 Speaker 7: know what you need to know for today, right here, 2251 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 7: right now. 2252 01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:48,200 Speaker 4: The morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh 2253 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 4: seven five the ban Now. 2254 01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:51,280 Speaker 7: I don't know if you guys have heard, but the 2255 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:53,479 Speaker 7: Cults are six and one right now on top of 2256 01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:54,920 Speaker 7: the entire AFC. 2257 01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:58,160 Speaker 1: They are on a torrid pace for scoring entire NFL. 2258 01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:02,000 Speaker 7: Right last time a Colt's team in the entire history 2259 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,519 Speaker 7: of the franchise did these kinds of numbers, Johnny Unidis 2260 01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:07,360 Speaker 7: was the quarterback and they went on to win an 2261 01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:09,880 Speaker 7: NFL championship game back in the day. 2262 01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, that's what we're dealing with right now. 2263 01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:14,320 Speaker 7: So we'll see if they can keep it going against 2264 01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:16,240 Speaker 7: maybe the worst team in the league coming up on 2265 01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:19,719 Speaker 7: Sunday after twenty five. You don't think they're the worst. 2266 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,280 Speaker 1: Team in the league. Shut Jets, Jet, Jets, Jets. 2267 01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:25,840 Speaker 7: Who do you think? Who would you take? What would 2268 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 7: the line be between the Titans and the Jets? 2269 01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 1: Right I don't know I'd be the toilet bawl, but 2270 01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:31,639 Speaker 1: I would certainly not think the Jets. So the Jets 2271 01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:33,639 Speaker 1: are bad in America, They're bad in New York. They're 2272 01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 1: bad overseas, they're bad anywhere. 2273 01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:39,400 Speaker 7: For twenty five kicks Sunday afternoon, Lucas Oil Stadium, Kevin Bond, 2274 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:42,200 Speaker 7: what are our injury updates as of yesterday when the 2275 01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,280 Speaker 7: last time we spoke to anybody from the culture. 2276 01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:45,040 Speaker 1: Not a whole lot. 2277 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,599 Speaker 2: Taekwon lewis listed a day to day with a growing injury. 2278 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 2: There are some reports about Samson evicomas seen multiple weeks. 2279 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:55,120 Speaker 2: Shane Stiken wouldn't confirm that's so. Again, I think past 2280 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,639 Speaker 2: rush I would disagree with Joel. I think pass rush 2281 01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:02,400 Speaker 2: is more pressing than the corner right now, and if 2282 01:45:02,479 --> 01:45:05,320 Speaker 2: you have to factor in health then I think that 2283 01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:07,559 Speaker 2: kind of adds to it. So definitely something to keep 2284 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 2: an eye on and could mean more snaps for j T. Tuymaloaw, 2285 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:13,800 Speaker 2: who has not had a very big role here in 2286 01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:14,639 Speaker 2: his rookie campaign. 2287 01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:16,599 Speaker 7: How many STAPs has he taken so far this year? 2288 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:18,400 Speaker 2: I want to say it was twenty two on Sunday. 2289 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,120 Speaker 2: I don't know the official number if you had them 2290 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 2: all up, but it hasn't been much. And again he's 2291 01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:23,240 Speaker 2: been a healthy scratch a few times. 2292 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,760 Speaker 7: All right. Last night doubleheader on Monday Night Football to 2293 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 7: wrap up the week of the NFL. Detroit Lions got 2294 01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:30,639 Speaker 7: a huge game from Jamar Gibbs one hundred and thirty 2295 01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,000 Speaker 7: six yards rushing two touchdowns. He added more than eighty 2296 01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 7: receiving in that when the Lions beat the Tampa Bay 2297 01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:36,760 Speaker 7: Buccaneers twenty four to nine. 2298 01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:40,479 Speaker 1: And the Bucks kept getting the ball late in the 2299 01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. 2300 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:42,040 Speaker 7: I don't know if you watched it in that game 2301 01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:43,640 Speaker 7: last night, but every time they got the ball, they 2302 01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,160 Speaker 7: just couldn't do anything with it. And they were on 2303 01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,560 Speaker 7: this They were right around midfield for most of the 2304 01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,679 Speaker 7: fourth quarter. They just could not get past the Detroit 2305 01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:51,680 Speaker 7: Lion was no. 2306 01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:55,280 Speaker 2: Name Lion DB's. They're really banged up, and they stepped 2307 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,080 Speaker 2: up and made some huge plays. 2308 01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 5: Against Baker May had a culture win. 2309 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:00,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan Cambell will. 2310 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,280 Speaker 2: Probably their post game and hopefully to Mike Evans injuries 2311 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:07,000 Speaker 2: not season ending. He's been an incredibly durable and consistent 2312 01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:11,280 Speaker 2: player throughout his career and he injured it sounded like 2313 01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:12,519 Speaker 2: a collar bone last night. 2314 01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:12,840 Speaker 5: Broke it. 2315 01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,360 Speaker 7: I believe I have broken collar bone. 2316 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,280 Speaker 2: So we'll see if he can get back at some 2317 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:17,360 Speaker 2: point here this season. 2318 01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:19,680 Speaker 7: All right, Later last night for Seattle Seahawks at home 2319 01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:23,240 Speaker 7: beat the Houston Texans twenty seven to nineteen. Texans fault 2320 01:46:23,240 --> 01:46:26,040 Speaker 7: to two to four in the AFC South but Man 2321 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,200 Speaker 7: Jackson Smith and jigbut Eight catches one hundred and twenty 2322 01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:32,600 Speaker 7: three yards in a touchdown. He is clearly one of 2323 01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,680 Speaker 7: the top three or four receivers in the NFL right now. 2324 01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:36,519 Speaker 7: It's every week posting numbers like that. 2325 01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 1: James, he is playing very good football. And Sam Darnold 2326 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:41,519 Speaker 1: also played very good football. 2327 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:41,840 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2328 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,720 Speaker 7: Also Major League Baseball last night we now have two 2329 01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:48,120 Speaker 7: contestants for the twenty twenty five World Series.

That'll 2333 01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:58,880 Speaker 7: go back to the Series for the first time since 2334 01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:01,640 Speaker 7: the nineties. The Mariner have never been there. And they 2335 01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:05,760 Speaker 7: were that close two run lead with two and two 2336 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,200 Speaker 7: thirds innings to go and just couldn't quite close it down. 2337 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:09,479 Speaker 5: Mark, what in the world does this? 2338 01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,320 Speaker 2: In the YouTube chat people trying to justify the Cubs 2339 01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:13,599 Speaker 2: and the playoffs this year. 2340 01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:14,120 Speaker 7: We're talking about? 2341 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,080 Speaker 5: Is that Mark on the YouTube One of his minions 2342 01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:17,439 Speaker 5: in here. 2343 01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:19,880 Speaker 2: You forgot to remind Joel the Cubs won four games 2344 01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:21,639 Speaker 2: in the playoffs and the Brewers won three. 2345 01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:23,000 Speaker 1: Both played two series. 2346 01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:26,599 Speaker 5: It's actually accurate, accurate. 2347 01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,120 Speaker 2: I mean we're all about facts.

That one begins at seven point thirty 2365 01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:22,519 Speaker 7: on both NBC and Peacock. That'll be followed up by 2366 01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:26,759 Speaker 7: Golden State in Los Angeles the Los Angeles Lakers. Scotty 2367 01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,519 Speaker 7: did confirm that it'll be Mike Tarico on the play 2368 01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:32,439 Speaker 7: by play for the first game and Noah Eagle for 2369 01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:35,479 Speaker 7: the second game in the NBA doubleheader, So that's what's 2370 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:38,760 Speaker 7: going on there. Coming up this weekend. College football number 2371 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:43,120 Speaker 7: two Indiana of course hosting UCLA. Rutgers plays at Purdue 2372 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,759 Speaker 7: Notre Dame. I believe has the week off to continue 2373 01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 7: to get better. 2374 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 2: That sounds like Ryan Brown pretty iffy for Purdue. Their 2375 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:53,600 Speaker 2: quarterback suffer shoulder injury as they got shut out against Northwestern, 2376 01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,400 Speaker 2: so we'll see about his status. If Purdue is going 2377 01:48:56,439 --> 01:48:58,559 Speaker 2: to get any Big Ten win this year, you would 2378 01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:02,400 Speaker 2: think it would be Rutgers. Ki Singleton, a decently highly 2379 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,320 Speaker 2: ranked recruit, would get start there. 2380 01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:07,519 Speaker 7: And James we talked about in the first hour. But 2381 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,479 Speaker 7: for those who missed it, Kaitlyn Clark is still listed 2382 01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:12,680 Speaker 7: this week. Two weeks. She's been playing basketball, but just 2383 01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,400 Speaker 7: some light two on two maybe three on three. Stepani 2384 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:17,360 Speaker 7: White said she's not ready for five on five yet, 2385 01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,599 Speaker 7: and there because they have the time, they're just gonna 2386 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,599 Speaker 7: take this as slowly as they possibly can. 2387 01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:25,040 Speaker 1: Yes, I believe you said this to Chloe Peterson and 2388 01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,720 Speaker 1: the Indie Star staff on their podcast. So again you 2389 01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,320 Speaker 1: can listen to that after our show.

I feel like, just 2394 01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:43,960 Speaker 1: get healthy and we'll check back in with you when 2395 01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:45,760 Speaker 1: you know the next count of year rolls around. 2396 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:47,760 Speaker 5: At this point, Lord knows, the WNBA has plenty of 2397 01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:49,080 Speaker 5: downtime in between seasons. 2398 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly they probably needed after all the chaos 2399 01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,320 Speaker 1: they're going through right now with CBA arguments, and so 2400 01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:57,280 Speaker 1: I would imagine that Kaylyn Clark is honestly a bigger 2401 01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,840 Speaker 1: voice than that right now versus where she's at injury. 2402 01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,040 Speaker 7: All right, coming up at a moment, we will listen 2403 01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:05,880 Speaker 7: to Kurt Signetti pump up the UCLA Bruins, who he 2404 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:09,560 Speaker 7: is calling an undefeated team. Find out why next on 2405 01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:11,479 Speaker 7: ninety three five and one oh seven to five Fan. 2406 01:50:13,040 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 2: Bright nine thirty Here on a Tuesday, Minor Scott Dolson 2407 01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,599 Speaker 2: going to join us tomorrow, looking forward to that conversation. 2408 01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:22,759 Speaker 2: The iu AD Tuesdays at eight o'clock. 2409 01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 1: This time of year, it. 2410 01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:26,080 Speaker 2: Means Rick Carlisle we had him on for the first 2411 01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:28,800 Speaker 2: time here coming up in this season, the Pacers will 2412 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:34,320 Speaker 2: get underway Thursday. And part of yesterday's news cycle certainly involved, 2413 01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,920 Speaker 2: probably right around this time yesterday, the arrest of rookie 2414 01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:42,519 Speaker 2: Cam Jones. And you know, right now for the Pacers, 2415 01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:45,360 Speaker 2: Cam Jones deal with an injury and was unlikely to 2416 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:48,840 Speaker 2: play here to start the season. And I'm trying to 2417 01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:52,280 Speaker 2: think of the official charges, James, dude, do you remember 2418 01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,559 Speaker 2: it was speeding and was it resisting law enforcement? 2419 01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:58,720 Speaker 1: Yes, so he got charged with a Class A misdemeanor 2420 01:50:58,760 --> 01:50:59,920 Speaker 1: and a level six felony. 2421 01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:05,240 Speaker 2: So that was the initial report yesterday. Rick Carlisle h 2422 01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:07,920 Speaker 2: shared his thoughts with us earlier today on the arrest 2423 01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:08,599 Speaker 2: of Cam Jones. 2424 01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:13,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, talked to him yesterday. He came in and uh, 2425 01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:17,680 Speaker 9: he was very very contrite, you know about about the 2426 01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:21,680 Speaker 9: situation of being pulled over. You know, this is a 2427 01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 9: kid with exemplary character, going back to his entire career 2428 01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:31,720 Speaker 9: at Marquette. After hearing the details of this, I think 2429 01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,320 Speaker 9: I think in the In the end, this is going 2430 01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:38,040 Speaker 9: to end up being a speeding ticket. You know, a lot, 2431 01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,880 Speaker 9: a lot of times things that are on the on 2432 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:45,400 Speaker 9: the police blodder or are overblown. You know, this is 2433 01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:49,200 Speaker 9: a kid that was was driving, driving a little faster 2434 01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:51,479 Speaker 9: than he should have been, trying to get to his uh, 2435 01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:54,439 Speaker 9: his his workout and rehab thing. 2436 01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,400 Speaker 10: He's run a few minutes behind, and so you know, 2437 01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:00,840 Speaker 10: he got pulled over and and uh, you know, the 2438 01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,000 Speaker 10: thing ended up. The thing ended up in the in 2439 01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:04,240 Speaker 10: you know, in the news. 2440 01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 9: So uh, I think in the end it's gonna be 2441 01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:12,120 Speaker 9: a speeding ticket probably, And he's going through a thing 2442 01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:16,240 Speaker 9: right now where he's got a back situation that is 2443 01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:18,520 Speaker 9: only gonna heal. 2444 01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:19,880 Speaker 10: With time. 2445 01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:26,040 Speaker 9: Time in the hyperbar chamber. Can't do can't do too 2446 01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:30,160 Speaker 9: much moving around. You know, it's a very it's got 2447 01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,599 Speaker 9: to be a very difficult thing to go through, particularly 2448 01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:35,560 Speaker 9: given our point guard situation for him. And yes, he 2449 01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:37,640 Speaker 9: would have been one of the guys in the conversation. 2450 01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:41,400 Speaker 9: So you know, I said a couple a few days 2451 01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:45,440 Speaker 9: ago that you know, we would revisit, you know, conversation 2452 01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,400 Speaker 9: about where he's at, probably on November ninth, when we 2453 01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:50,679 Speaker 9: were gonna do the same thing with t J McConnell. 2454 01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:54,639 Speaker 9: That'll be a one month after TJ's injury and then 2455 01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:58,519 Speaker 9: we'll see what's on from there. But uh, you know, Cams, 2456 01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:02,160 Speaker 9: Cam's doing fine, and uh you know, and this is 2457 01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:04,120 Speaker 9: this is gonna be a blip on the radar screen. 2458 01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:10,360 Speaker 7: That's the head coach of the Indiana Indiana Pacers, Rick Carlisle, 2459 01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:13,800 Speaker 7: talking about Cam Jones getting arrested yesterday. You mentioned level 2460 01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,519 Speaker 7: six felony in Indiana, James, that's the least serious felony charge. 2461 01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:19,240 Speaker 7: I'm still a felony. 2462 01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:20,800 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeah, I don't ever want to 2463 01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:24,000 Speaker 1: hear felony in my name in the same sentence. But yeah, 2464 01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:26,679 Speaker 1: it sounds like Rick feels a lot more optimistic about 2465 01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:31,400 Speaker 1: situation versus the version that we got yesterday. So more 2466 01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:33,559 Speaker 1: to come from that. Believe, his court date, I want 2467 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:37,120 Speaker 1: to say, is Thursday to twenty third, so he's got 2468 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:39,560 Speaker 1: to probably see a judge at some point to you know, 2469 01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:42,040 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of whatever took place yesterday. 2470 01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:43,800 Speaker 7: All right, So we'll keep an eye on that and 2471 01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,240 Speaker 7: the Pacers get going on Thursday night against the Oklahoma 2472 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:48,040 Speaker 7: City Thunder. That'll be over at the field House. You'll 2473 01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:50,599 Speaker 7: hear it live on ninety three five and one seven 2474 01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:54,760 Speaker 7: five the fan as the incredible high and then that 2475 01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:58,400 Speaker 7: crashing end to the season. I think carries over to 2476 01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:00,960 Speaker 7: a nice celebration of the team before the game starts 2477 01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,240 Speaker 7: on Thursday night. I think that'll be a rockous atmosphere 2478 01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:03,559 Speaker 7: over there. 2479 01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:05,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's something that Rick ricolluded to. 2480 01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:07,840 Speaker 2: We asked him that kind of near the end, and 2481 01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:09,719 Speaker 2: you can catch that full interview up on our podcast 2482 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,640 Speaker 2: page from earlier today. But yeah, it sounds like there 2483 01:54:11,680 --> 01:54:15,519 Speaker 2: will be some acknowledgment of the Eastern Conference champion. I'm 2484 01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:17,160 Speaker 2: totally good with it. I know we get into this 2485 01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:18,960 Speaker 2: debate you know often, you know, how much do you 2486 01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:24,240 Speaker 2: celebrate you know, non champion chip seasons. But we had 2487 01:54:24,280 --> 01:54:26,320 Speaker 2: a listener point out to us. I think it was 2488 01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:29,000 Speaker 2: Noah on the tech side a little bit earlier, like 2489 01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:30,960 Speaker 2: when you win a trophy for something, I think it 2490 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,760 Speaker 2: should be celebrated, and I would agree with that. So 2491 01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:36,120 Speaker 2: you don't really get that opportunity, I think in the 2492 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 2: preseason in front of a full house to acknowledge that group. 2493 01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,720 Speaker 2: And so I have no issue whatsoever, And I think 2494 01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:46,920 Speaker 2: the pacer should have some sort of pregame situation. It's 2495 01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,800 Speaker 2: a little awkward that it's the thunder in the building, 2496 01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:52,080 Speaker 2: but this just happens to be how the schedule laid out. 2497 01:54:52,160 --> 01:54:52,360 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2498 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:54,120 Speaker 7: See, I've always felt when it comes to banners, I 2499 01:54:54,240 --> 01:54:56,080 Speaker 7: agree with what he had to say to me. You 2500 01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:59,160 Speaker 7: get championship banners. You put those things right in the 2501 01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,720 Speaker 7: middle of the arena. They're big, they're huge, you can't 2502 01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:05,840 Speaker 7: miss those things. I believe stuff like conference championships, I 2503 01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:07,520 Speaker 7: think you should have them, but I think those go 2504 01:55:07,680 --> 01:55:09,840 Speaker 7: up over kind of on the side as kind of 2505 01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:12,120 Speaker 7: something that we did. And I've always thought you could 2506 01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:16,040 Speaker 7: even have a a banner for divisional championships where you 2507 01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:18,880 Speaker 7: just list the year that you won the diditional championship. 2508 01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:23,120 Speaker 7: So there's a definite order of the kinds of banners, you. 2509 01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,040 Speaker 2: Know, I think Final four is our big accomplishments from 2510 01:55:26,040 --> 01:55:29,400 Speaker 2: a college basketball standpoint. And you know, obviously you know 2511 01:55:29,440 --> 01:55:31,960 Speaker 2: you got Purdue listing, you know, Big Ten championships, And 2512 01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,720 Speaker 2: I know a lot of Indiana Purdue fans go back 2513 01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,160 Speaker 2: and forth in the old banner debate and the dustiness 2514 01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:39,520 Speaker 2: of some banners and the lack of national titles for 2515 01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:42,880 Speaker 2: other banners. So yeah, I'm totally fine with you know, 2516 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:46,600 Speaker 2: to me, that's an accomplishment. Like just because the Pacers 2517 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:50,080 Speaker 2: felt one game short, Notre Dame falls a game shirt short. 2518 01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:52,600 Speaker 2: You're a pretty sick fan if the only thing you 2519 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:54,960 Speaker 2: care about is wasting that trophy. 2520 01:55:55,040 --> 01:55:56,800 Speaker 1: I think the Pacers banner should say, Okay, see you 2521 01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:57,240 Speaker 1: got lucky. 2522 01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:00,440 Speaker 7: Put it in parent the seas. 2523 01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:04,919 Speaker 1: Yeah no, but no, not put it in bold put Tyresa, 2524 01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,040 Speaker 1: Like just have you know we have all this technology 2525 01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:08,680 Speaker 1: just to put a little Montagy. 2526 01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:12,280 Speaker 5: There doing the old you know, cord to raise the 2527 01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:17,000 Speaker 5: banner like Brooklyn Nets raise a Eastern Conference participant banner. 2528 01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:22,760 Speaker 1: We're played. It's gonna be some nasty uh games out 2529 01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:25,280 Speaker 1: there for sure, But I'm very curious you have the 2530 01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:28,320 Speaker 1: season unfolds for the Eastern Conference and where the Pastsers 2531 01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:31,080 Speaker 1: stack up. But yeah, going back to Kevin's question from earlier, 2532 01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:33,360 Speaker 1: like who's gonna win the East? I think that's what 2533 01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:36,240 Speaker 1: makes this thing the most is like considering the injuries 2534 01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:39,400 Speaker 1: to other teams. If Halliburn were healthy, it'll be you know, 2535 01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:43,000 Speaker 1: wide open, honestly, if everyone was was healthy, Pacers, Celtics, 2536 01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,200 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Maybe right there again, so I 2537 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,120 Speaker 1: do kind of use as a gap year, and the 2538 01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:51,160 Speaker 1: Pacers want admit that. But what does this year do 2539 01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:54,000 Speaker 1: for you going forward when presumably you get Tyree's back 2540 01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:54,480 Speaker 1: in two years. 2541 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:58,440 Speaker 7: You just try to keep it going, keep these guys together, 2542 01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,240 Speaker 7: keep them healthy more than they anything, and then you 2543 01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:03,880 Speaker 7: try to regroup next year. But yeah, if they can 2544 01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:07,240 Speaker 7: play spoiler down the stretch, I would love that. If 2545 01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:09,080 Speaker 7: they're the kind of team. Look, I look at their 2546 01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:12,920 Speaker 7: late games. They play at Cleveland towards the end of 2547 01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:16,680 Speaker 7: the season. They don't really play a bunch of great 2548 01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,920 Speaker 7: Eastern Conference teams. I know Detroit's on the rise. I 2549 01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:21,640 Speaker 7: don't know what Philadelphia is going to be about. Those 2550 01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:24,240 Speaker 7: are their last two games. But maybe maybe you can 2551 01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:26,440 Speaker 7: screw things up for some people down the stretch. I've 2552 01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,080 Speaker 7: always liked that too. If you can't compete for a title, 2553 01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:30,240 Speaker 7: mess it up for somebody else. 2554 01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:33,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the oh you know, if I'm going home, 2555 01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:34,600 Speaker 1: you coming home with me. 2556 01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:36,840 Speaker 7: It's like when someone pushes you in the pool, you 2557 01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:37,680 Speaker 7: got to pull them in with you. 2558 01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:37,920 Speaker 10: Right. 2559 01:57:39,160 --> 01:57:41,040 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I guess I don't know. I haven't done 2560 01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:42,160 Speaker 1: that much of my life. 2561 01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:46,640 Speaker 7: All right. So it's great to talk to Rick Carlisle 2562 01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,600 Speaker 7: earlier today. That's already posted. You said, Mark Dykton, you 2563 01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:54,160 Speaker 7: are Johnny on the spot. So again one wait, wait 2564 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:55,720 Speaker 7: until ten oh one, and then you can go and 2565 01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:57,920 Speaker 7: do that and we'll all be good as far as 2566 01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:00,560 Speaker 7: that is concerned. I want to point that again for 2567 01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:03,520 Speaker 7: those that start to look at those things. Colts are 2568 01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,640 Speaker 7: fourteen and a half point favorites Kevin over the Tennessee Titans. 2569 01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,600 Speaker 7: You just don't see lines like that, and I think 2570 01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:13,440 Speaker 7: people are acknowledging that, yeah, to Tennessee's not very good, 2571 01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:16,640 Speaker 7: but that Colts offense is for real right now. 2572 01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:20,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the second biggest line in the NFL this season, 2573 01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:23,840 Speaker 2: so anytime, you know, I think Bill Saints. 2574 01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:24,560 Speaker 7: I believe was the other one. 2575 01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,320 Speaker 2: So you know, obviously, when you have a line that 2576 01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:30,440 Speaker 2: is north of two touchdowns or two touchdowns, it takes 2577 01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:32,680 Speaker 2: two to tango. And the Colts are very good and 2578 01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:36,600 Speaker 2: the Titans are very bad. So hence the line. And again, 2579 01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:39,839 Speaker 2: interim head coach Mike McCoy, you actually brought Shane Stiken 2580 01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:42,760 Speaker 2: back to San Diego to be with the Chargers back 2581 01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:44,240 Speaker 2: in the day, so there is a little bit of 2582 01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:47,080 Speaker 2: connection on that sideline. The Titans hung in there for 2583 01:58:47,160 --> 01:58:49,280 Speaker 2: what maybe a quarter or two against the Patriots, and 2584 01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:52,520 Speaker 2: then Mike Crables bunch steamrolled them in the second half. 2585 01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:54,600 Speaker 2: They did lose Jeffrey Simmons in that game to a 2586 01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:58,200 Speaker 2: hamstring injury, who's probably their best player. So that also 2587 01:58:58,320 --> 01:58:59,800 Speaker 2: is another thing in the Colts favor. 2588 01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:01,880 Speaker 5: I say, you don't see that line usually. You also 2589 01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:05,520 Speaker 5: really don't see it in divisional games. That's when you because. 2590 01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:06,360 Speaker 1: Well, good point, good point. 2591 01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:08,400 Speaker 5: That's that's why it's like, oh that's interesting. 2592 01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Packers Bengals, I think was also kind of a 2593 01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:14,080 Speaker 2: big line this year, right around two touchdowns. So yeah, 2594 01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:17,880 Speaker 2: it hasn't happened very often. Like I say to Joel, 2595 01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:20,840 Speaker 2: it's you know what, twelve time. I think since two 2596 01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,920 Speaker 2: thousand for this franchise. You think about that, all the 2597 01:59:22,960 --> 01:59:26,320 Speaker 2: Payton years, you think you'd stumble into, you know, quite 2598 01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,600 Speaker 2: a few of those games, but even then you didn't 2599 01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:31,280 Speaker 2: have them. So typically, the cults of handle business quite 2600 01:59:31,320 --> 01:59:35,240 Speaker 2: quite well in these matchups, and I expect them to 2601 01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:36,680 Speaker 2: do that on Sunday, all. 2602 01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:38,520 Speaker 7: Right, coming up at a moment to Indiana, Hoosier is 2603 01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:40,520 Speaker 7: getting ready to take on UCLA in the Big Ten 2604 01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:43,040 Speaker 7: this weekend. We'll talk about that and hear from Kurt 2605 01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:47,080 Speaker 7: Signetti as we continue next ninety three. Things are going 2606 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,720 Speaker 7: well on football terms around these parts. We've talked about 2607 01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:52,959 Speaker 7: the six and one Colts, and how about the Hoosiers 2608 01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:55,120 Speaker 7: or not only seven and oho overall, but four and 2609 01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:58,680 Speaker 7: oh in conference play right there with Ohio State. Those 2610 01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:00,760 Speaker 7: are the number one and two t means in the country. 2611 02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:04,800 Speaker 7: Ohio State number one, Indiana number two. Ucla was having 2612 02:00:04,840 --> 02:00:07,600 Speaker 7: a tough season, they fired their head coach. They're now 2613 02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:11,200 Speaker 7: three and one in conference play with three straight wins 2614 02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:14,800 Speaker 7: in the Big Ten, and Kurt Signetti, the head coach 2615 02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,800 Speaker 7: for the Indiana Hoosiers, who we know likes. He's one 2616 02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:19,720 Speaker 7: of those guys, Kevin. He likes to say nice things 2617 02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:21,480 Speaker 7: about the other team as they get ready to come in. 2618 02:00:21,600 --> 02:00:24,040 Speaker 7: He didn't. He's not a bulletin board type guy. He 2619 02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:25,920 Speaker 7: likes to pump him up. But man, he was pumping 2620 02:00:26,000 --> 02:00:28,120 Speaker 7: up Ucla yesterday in his first comments. 2621 02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:33,560 Speaker 11: Ucla or playing a three and oh football team that's undefeated. 2622 02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:37,240 Speaker 11: That's three and oh in the conference. Since they have 2623 02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:42,760 Speaker 11: retooled their staff and now have their new defensive coordinator 2624 02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:47,680 Speaker 11: and offensive staff in place. Very impressive football team. Okay, 2625 02:00:48,680 --> 02:00:52,480 Speaker 11: and offensively, this team is rushing for two hundred and 2626 02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:55,800 Speaker 11: thirty three yards a game right now in their last 2627 02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:58,360 Speaker 11: three games, which would be against Penn State, Michigan State, 2628 02:00:58,400 --> 02:00:58,960 Speaker 11: and Maryland. 2629 02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:02,160 Speaker 7: You like that change is just breaking it down to 2630 02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:04,040 Speaker 7: when the new coach came in. We don't even talk 2631 02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:05,080 Speaker 7: about what happened before that. 2632 02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:07,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you gotta do to them now, I guess 2633 02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:11,000 Speaker 1: get your team. Excuse me, I thought to Kevin. 2634 02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:12,800 Speaker 7: My voice is going, Sorry, Hi, Kevin, go ahead while 2635 02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:13,120 Speaker 7: he gets here. 2636 02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:14,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I certainly. 2637 02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:15,400 Speaker 1: Get where Sick is going with it. 2638 02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:20,520 Speaker 2: You know, obviously from an interim standpoint, UCLA has been 2639 02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:23,040 Speaker 2: a lot better here in recent weeks. Now we'll see 2640 02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:26,760 Speaker 2: about the health of their quarterback Nico. Probably James is 2641 02:01:26,800 --> 02:01:28,760 Speaker 2: trying to pronounce that last name and that's how he 2642 02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,680 Speaker 2: got choked up over there, because that's how I feel. 2643 02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:32,560 Speaker 2: I think my voice is a little bit back, but yeah, 2644 02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:34,920 Speaker 2: try to pronounce Nico's last name. But he got banged 2645 02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:36,840 Speaker 2: up late in their win over Maryland. They came back 2646 02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:40,480 Speaker 2: to beat Maryland, and it sounds like his status a 2647 02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:41,840 Speaker 2: little bit up in the air early in the week 2648 02:01:41,840 --> 02:01:42,760 Speaker 2: because this line is big. 2649 02:01:42,840 --> 02:01:44,520 Speaker 1: It's just as big as the Michigan State. 2650 02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,640 Speaker 2: Game, which you know, when you look on paper, UCLA 2651 02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:48,640 Speaker 2: has been playing much better football leading into this game 2652 02:01:48,640 --> 02:01:51,880 Speaker 2: than Michigan State, So you know why is that? 2653 02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Part of it? 2654 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,440 Speaker 2: Probably is the old you know, West Coast travel for 2655 02:01:56,560 --> 02:01:59,520 Speaker 2: a nine am local kickoff time for UCLA in Bloomington. 2656 02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:00,360 Speaker 1: But I I don't know. 2657 02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Maybe Nico's status has something to do with it. So, uh, 2658 02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:05,840 Speaker 2: you know, Indiana should once again roll. Is the bye 2659 02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:07,520 Speaker 2: week next week for Indiana, and I think I have 2660 02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:09,640 Speaker 2: a buy coming up at some point here. I kind 2661 02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:11,560 Speaker 2: of forget what it is. Maybe it's a little bit 2662 02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:14,520 Speaker 2: more Endo November. So yeah, I think it'll be a 2663 02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:15,680 Speaker 2: breeze for India. 2664 02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:19,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Nico. I Yamaalavia, I say I 2665 02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:20,400 Speaker 1: had it and then I. 2666 02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:24,360 Speaker 5: Believe you have for the first one. 2667 02:02:25,280 --> 02:02:27,120 Speaker 7: Yama Layava, That's what I want to say. 2668 02:02:27,200 --> 02:02:27,839 Speaker 5: Sounds beautiful. 2669 02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:30,600 Speaker 7: His brother, Jo's brother is a freshman quarterback on the 2670 02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:31,000 Speaker 7: team too. 2671 02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:33,440 Speaker 2: Oh so it's a battle of brother madback too, then 2672 02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:34,720 Speaker 2: madg Indiana. 2673 02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:38,480 Speaker 5: Yama Layava happy not to be Don Fisher this week? Yes, 2674 02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:40,200 Speaker 5: it's gonna be a hell of a I'd stick with 2675 02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:42,400 Speaker 5: nko Hi, but. 2676 02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:43,000 Speaker 10: No, they are. 2677 02:02:43,160 --> 02:02:45,080 Speaker 7: The one thing they do well is they run the ball, 2678 02:02:45,880 --> 02:02:47,840 Speaker 7: and they've been running the ball, as he said, you know, 2679 02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:50,800 Speaker 7: better than two hundred yards a game. They've had it 2680 02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:53,440 Speaker 7: going on. And uh, do you know who their leading 2681 02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,600 Speaker 7: rusher has been so far this season? 2682 02:02:57,240 --> 02:02:57,680 Speaker 1: Is it Nico? 2683 02:02:57,840 --> 02:02:59,840 Speaker 7: It's Nico three hundred and sixty yards rushing. 2684 02:02:59,880 --> 02:03:01,320 Speaker 1: So so it's not a great thing. 2685 02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:03,840 Speaker 2: Well, his injury would matter a whole whole lot then 2686 02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:06,120 Speaker 2: for that game. So definitely something to keep an eye on. 2687 02:03:06,440 --> 02:03:09,120 Speaker 2: And I get UCLA has played better, but again, fully 2688 02:03:09,160 --> 02:03:11,560 Speaker 2: expect any anna take care of business, is Fernando. 2689 02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:13,200 Speaker 5: I don't, by the way, doesn't look like it happens 2690 02:03:13,280 --> 02:03:14,560 Speaker 5: until before the Perdue game. 2691 02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:16,240 Speaker 8: That has been weird. 2692 02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:20,440 Speaker 5: Wisconsin at Indiana November fifteenth, then a gap between before 2693 02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:22,880 Speaker 5: Indiana Purdue on November twenty I week in the second 2694 02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:23,960 Speaker 5: to last week of the season. 2695 02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Would you prefer that? 2696 02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:26,240 Speaker 8: No? 2697 02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:28,440 Speaker 5: I like it right in the middle. 2698 02:03:29,440 --> 02:03:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like the Colts had there by coming 2699 02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:32,680 Speaker 2: up in a few weeks like that's one of the 2700 02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:34,600 Speaker 2: better I remember the Colts had like the late the 2701 02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:36,720 Speaker 2: latest by the NFL like a couple of times in 2702 02:03:36,760 --> 02:03:37,360 Speaker 2: December there. 2703 02:03:37,520 --> 02:03:38,800 Speaker 7: Let me throw this one at you though, I think 2704 02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:41,720 Speaker 7: that's awful. Don't you like having that right before Purdue 2705 02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:44,400 Speaker 7: and then you're gonna have a conference championship game and 2706 02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:46,000 Speaker 7: then you want to have a couple of weeks run 2707 02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:50,080 Speaker 7: in in the uh the playoff there. Maybe maybe it 2708 02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:52,520 Speaker 7: does come at a good time as you really get 2709 02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:56,120 Speaker 7: ready for important games after that Purdue game. 2710 02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm probably more of a mid season But 2711 02:03:59,000 --> 02:03:59,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2712 02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Is Fernanda Minoza the Heisman front runner right now? 2713 02:04:05,080 --> 02:04:08,280 Speaker 2: I think, betting wise, he is. I think one thing 2714 02:04:08,360 --> 02:04:11,320 Speaker 2: that will hurt him down the stretch is Indiana won't 2715 02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:16,280 Speaker 2: be in many of these marquee time slots, and I 2716 02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:18,640 Speaker 2: think that matters. I don't agree with it, but I 2717 02:04:18,640 --> 02:04:18,880 Speaker 2: think it. 2718 02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'sertainly a factor, which can't be like sitting here like, 2719 02:04:21,400 --> 02:04:23,240 Speaker 1: oh it's not Yeah, we're human. 2720 02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:24,640 Speaker 2: Where did Indiana play last week? 2721 02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Peacock? 2722 02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:26,480 Speaker 8: You know? 2723 02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:28,440 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, now Saturday they're going to be at 2724 02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:31,600 Speaker 2: noon on Fox, which will help. But you know, Penn State, 2725 02:04:32,200 --> 02:04:34,480 Speaker 2: that game has lost its luster, you know, coming up 2726 02:04:34,680 --> 02:04:37,040 Speaker 2: in November there, So you know, you look at where 2727 02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:41,600 Speaker 2: game Day's going, you know, Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt this weekend. 2728 02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:43,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you know he's up there right now. He's 2729 02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,080 Speaker 2: got a little bit more of the flair to his 2730 02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:50,720 Speaker 2: But again, that stuff, unfortunately matters. There's bias in all 2731 02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,080 Speaker 2: these awards. Let's be honest. You know, we got in 2732 02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:56,480 Speaker 2: the debate yesterday, James, what does MVP mean? Doesn't mean 2733 02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:58,120 Speaker 2: most valuable player, doesn't mean best player. 2734 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, for the call, I would say their best player 2735 02:05:01,000 --> 02:05:03,120 Speaker 1: is JT, but their most value player is Daniel Jones. 2736 02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:04,160 Speaker 5: Right, I would agree with that. 2737 02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:06,640 Speaker 7: It's interesting. I was reading a bunch of articles yesterday 2738 02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:09,480 Speaker 7: about what makes a running back of the MVP when 2739 02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:12,560 Speaker 7: that does happen, and it's usually going to be somebody 2740 02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:16,160 Speaker 7: right around two thousand yards and over twenty touchdowns on 2741 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:18,920 Speaker 7: a team that does very, very well. So JT's in 2742 02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:21,360 Speaker 7: the mix, Like if he keeps on this base right now, 2743 02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:22,800 Speaker 7: there's a chance. 2744 02:05:25,240 --> 02:05:26,960 Speaker 1: This is so wild that we're talking about the Colts 2745 02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:30,640 Speaker 1: having two MVP candidates. I would have never guessed this 2746 02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:33,440 Speaker 1: even if they had somehow been this record. If you 2747 02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:35,440 Speaker 1: told me they would be seven and one or six 2748 02:05:35,520 --> 02:05:37,400 Speaker 1: and one at this point in the year, at the 2749 02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:40,240 Speaker 1: start of the year, I would have thought, oh, they 2750 02:05:40,520 --> 02:05:43,120 Speaker 1: game managed, and they won a couple of games they 2751 02:05:43,120 --> 02:05:46,120 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to and got lucky here or there. But 2752 02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:49,520 Speaker 1: this isn't. Look they're putting the belt to folkses behind 2753 02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:53,280 Speaker 1: throughout this season so far, and I think the latest 2754 02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 1: game was probably their best or most biggest statement game. 2755 02:05:56,640 --> 02:05:57,880 Speaker 1: And where do you go from here? And I think, 2756 02:05:57,920 --> 02:06:00,840 Speaker 1: again I was teetering on tool youb all in. I 2757 02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:02,800 Speaker 1: think at this point I'm bought in. You should make 2758 02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:04,680 Speaker 1: a move before the deadline and go get some type 2759 02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:05,600 Speaker 1: of defensive playmaker. 2760 02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:07,680 Speaker 2: And the awards don't stop there. I mean Rookie of 2761 02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:09,840 Speaker 2: the Year offensively, I think Tyler Warren's got to be 2762 02:06:09,880 --> 02:06:12,240 Speaker 2: the favorite. We'll see if he's an All Pro right now, 2763 02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:15,640 Speaker 2: first team And again they'll be biased towards Jackson Dart 2764 02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:17,200 Speaker 2: if the Giants all of a sudden get it together 2765 02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:22,480 Speaker 2: somehow and then Coache a little bit of height there. 2766 02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:23,280 Speaker 5: But I don't know. 2767 02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Again, it's a quarterback running back thing, like who are 2768 02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:26,640 Speaker 1: you gonna lean towards. 2769 02:06:26,680 --> 02:06:28,560 Speaker 2: I tend to think it's quarterback that worries me more 2770 02:06:28,680 --> 02:06:30,680 Speaker 2: Mark and then definitely coach of the year's gotta be 2771 02:06:30,680 --> 02:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Shane Steiking so far. 2772 02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:33,160 Speaker 10: That's me. 2773 02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:36,120 Speaker 2: He's probably the most obvious of all the awards. Something 2774 02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:38,960 Speaker 2: out there like Colts related that one. I mean that 2775 02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 2: dude was on a top five list of being the 2776 02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:42,480 Speaker 2: first coach fired. 2777 02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:44,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. And he has been on fire 2778 02:06:44,440 --> 02:06:46,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the play calling. The way he's 2779 02:06:46,600 --> 02:06:50,360 Speaker 1: able to scheme guys open is unbelievable. I mean, it's 2780 02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:53,840 Speaker 1: almost like watching a college game sometimes, because that's usually 2781 02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:55,680 Speaker 1: what players will tell you. There's a difference between the 2782 02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:59,120 Speaker 1: NFL Open and college Open. He gets his NFL guys 2783 02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:01,120 Speaker 1: college open some of these plays. And I get that 2784 02:07:01,200 --> 02:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones made a couple of great window tight window 2785 02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:06,800 Speaker 1: throws throughout the year, But most of the time, man, 2786 02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:08,680 Speaker 1: he is thrown to some guys who have plenty of 2787 02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:10,880 Speaker 1: room to you know, make the catch and then make 2788 02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:11,840 Speaker 1: some yards after the catch. 2789 02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:14,520 Speaker 5: Shane Steigen's the overwhelming favorites win Coach of the Year, 2790 02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:17,960 Speaker 5: Tyler Warner's third best odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year, 2791 02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:21,760 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones has eighth best odds to win MVP, and 2792 02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,600 Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor's far and away the overwhelming Offensive Player of 2793 02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:28,920 Speaker 5: the year canon that is. That's cool, baby, it's crazy. 2794 02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:31,480 Speaker 1: We're in the twilight zone. Baby, I like it. 2795 02:07:31,560 --> 02:07:33,560 Speaker 7: You look at the AFC South right now, two game 2796 02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,760 Speaker 7: lead over Jacksonville. Texans are just two and four after 2797 02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:39,280 Speaker 7: the loss last night, and Titans we've talked about they 2798 02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:42,320 Speaker 7: playing this week, are just one and six. I mean, 2799 02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:46,280 Speaker 7: Jacksonville has not looked all that great. You can see 2800 02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:47,920 Speaker 7: in the next month or here you can see the 2801 02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:50,240 Speaker 7: Colts having like a three, three game lead to play 2802 02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:51,440 Speaker 7: with here Kevin pretty soon. 2803 02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the AFC South will eventually get to 2804 02:07:54,840 --> 02:07:57,160 Speaker 2: the point where I'll be uttering the phrase God Bless 2805 02:07:57,280 --> 02:07:59,240 Speaker 2: the AFC South like I do quite often. It's the 2806 02:07:59,320 --> 02:08:01,720 Speaker 2: division that usually keeps on giving. I thought Jacksonville start 2807 02:08:01,760 --> 02:08:03,560 Speaker 2: with fluky. I thought they were just forcing a bunch 2808 02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 2: of turnovers, and if you look at it, I believe 2809 02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:08,480 Speaker 2: the last two weeks they forced zero and the records 2810 02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:11,680 Speaker 2: going too and they forced a million those first four games. 2811 02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:13,760 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's something to get into a little bit 2812 02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:17,680 Speaker 2: more about the Colts. Nick Crosscover Stewart, those interceptions, you 2813 02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:19,480 Speaker 2: can't bank on those every week. Your defense has got 2814 02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:22,440 Speaker 2: to start naturally getting off the field a little bit more. 2815 02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:24,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, Nick Cross has been my most pleasant surprise on 2816 02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:26,080 Speaker 7: defense so far this year. 2817 02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:27,920 Speaker 1: I just in a contract year for him, He's just 2818 02:08:28,040 --> 02:08:30,960 Speaker 1: been solid. Yeah, he's been really good. 2819 02:08:31,040 --> 02:08:33,160 Speaker 2: They continued to growth throughout his career, a really nice 2820 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:35,240 Speaker 2: four year growth, which again he was one of the 2821 02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:37,360 Speaker 2: younger players to be drafted in his draft. 2822 02:08:37,560 --> 02:08:39,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, we talk about whether or not 2823 02:08:39,960 --> 02:08:42,320 Speaker 7: Chris Ballard wants to make a move and sure up 2824 02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:45,040 Speaker 7: that defense. Certainly, I agree with you, Kevin defensive line. 2825 02:08:45,200 --> 02:08:47,000 Speaker 7: I don't know, But are they just counting on getting 2826 02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:49,120 Speaker 7: healthy as the year goes along, to getting a bunch 2827 02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:50,640 Speaker 7: of guys back as much as anything? 2828 02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Who's hurt? 2829 02:08:52,640 --> 02:08:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean until Sunday, nobody was hurt? 2830 02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:55,520 Speaker 7: Yeah? 2831 02:08:55,840 --> 02:08:59,000 Speaker 2: Or I mean D line room, Oh D right, I 2832 02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:01,760 Speaker 2: mean D line wise, who was before Sunday? Yeah, I 2833 02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:04,840 Speaker 2: mean corner, Yes, I can point to that, but really, 2834 02:09:04,880 --> 02:09:07,160 Speaker 2: there's no other injuries on defense besides corner. 2835 02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:08,320 Speaker 1: Now, corner, there's a ton. 2836 02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:10,720 Speaker 7: But so I met you're thinking, you get your corners 2837 02:09:10,760 --> 02:09:11,760 Speaker 7: back and you'll be much better. 2838 02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:12,120 Speaker 10: Yeah. 2839 02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:14,920 Speaker 5: I'm more of a yeah, definitely more of a pass rush. 2840 02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:18,600 Speaker 1: Saying less Jervarius Wars lining up on defensive end make 2841 02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:21,000 Speaker 1: the move.
