1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about this. Over the course of

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: last night. I had one of those insomnia nights. I

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of those, mostly because if I know

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: I have an appointment in the morning and I have

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: to get up early, and I realize that for the

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: vast majority of the mature, civilized working world, that's called

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: having a job. But in my case, obviously said job

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: means a little bit later start to the day then most,

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: and I'm appreciative of that. But if I know I

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: have to get up in the morning and there's something early,

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: maybe I'm weird in this regard. For those of you

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: who have, say, you know, an eight to five or

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: a nine to five job, or you get the kids

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: up to go to school and school bus whatever else,

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: you're automatically in that sort of a routine. But if

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you occasionally have, let's say, a five am flight, and

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: you know you've got to get up two and a

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: half hours earlier than your normal routine. That's the analogy

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: of what happened for me this morning, because I had

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: my annual heart check up this morning, and believe it

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: or not, Eddie, if you can believe this, it's still

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: it's still there. The heart is still the heart is yeah,

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: I still have a heart yep. And they told me

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: still cold. So really, you know, there's that ye still

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: stone cold.

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: I disagree with but it okay.

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, well, thank you, You're welcome. All good in

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: that regard. But just knowing that I had to get

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: up early. I wasn't worried about the appointment, but knowing

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: that I had to get up early this morning, I

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: was laying and I'm staring at the ceiling and I'm

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: getting a three twenty eight. It was three twenty eight

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: in the morning when I looked at the clock at

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: three twenty eight, brain dropping, okay. And I'm sitting there

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about the fact of the Caitlin Clark injury.

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: And you have Caitlin Clark and she's injured, and is

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: she coming back or is she not coming back? And

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: she has this bone bruise now on the ankle, and

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: is that the reason why she's not back or is

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: it because of the groin injury or is the groin

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: injury because she was being over compensatory because at some

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: point you had a sore ankle. And I'm going through

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: all of that, and then I think to myself well,

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Stephanie White, the head coach of the Fever, was very

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: apologetic yesterday, and I presume it might have something to

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: do with exactly that topic, but she said, oh my gosh,

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I am so sorry because I realized I was supposed

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: to come on the show and I got pulled into

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a meeting at the last minute and I totally spaced

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: texting you. Completely understandable, and so she said, I can

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: do tomorrow meeting today. So when Stephanie White comes on,

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: we will get more clarity and I will ask directly

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: the questions about Caitlin Clark that many people are wondering.

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: But as I was thinking about it, I thought to myself,

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: so the Fever are at the very least because Caitlin

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Clark is a dynamic player, and she's a huge star,

57
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: and she is the most popular player in the WNBA.

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: And I thought, even when she's not on the floor,

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: she is creating headlines. Even when the Fever are maybe

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: not where we thought they would be in terms of

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: being say a number one seed type team, they are interesting.

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: They are a talking point. And that led me to

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: think about the other franchise in town that's playing and

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I just came to this conclusion last night. By then

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: it was three point twenty nine in the morning, because

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I'd given a minute a thought to it. But and

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm curious to those of you who participated in the

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: program that used the text line at two three nine

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: ten seventy or that text me directly to my phone,

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: either one or for that matter, if you'd like to

71
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: call in today. I believe we actually still have a

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: couple of spots left in our fantasy football league to

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: fill out. But I'm curious of Colts fans this. This

74
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: is my concern for the Colts. This is my worry

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Eddie Garrison. I would like for you

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: to name for me a state in the United States

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: that has an NFL team, not necessarily a team. Just

78
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: give me a state. You're working radio, You're in what

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: state doing sports talk radio? Give me a state.

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Nevada.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're in Nevada and you are doing

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: sports talk radio talking about the Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders,

83
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: what do we know about the Raiders? The Raiders. Okay,

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: here's a proud franchise. When you think about it, you

85
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: think about John Madden and Marcus Allen and then of late.

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Obviously you think more about you know, if you're a

87
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: more recent version of somebody that follows the Raiders, you're

88
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: thinking about Derek Carr.

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: You know who I'm thinking about, Jake.

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Chris Berman. Yep, right, you're thinking about the Raiders. You're

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: thinking about the over in black and the bat just

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: win Baby and Al Davis and all of it. Right,

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: And even with the Raiders at that, even when they

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: were the lowly Oakland Raiders and they were playing in

95
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: a stadium that had raw Pooh running through it, and

96
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the Oakland Coliseum was being condemned and you know whatever else,

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: and there's all this battle and then they went to

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and then they came back and Ice Cubes

99
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: wearing an LA Raiders hat and boys in the Hood

100
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: and like, there's a lot to like about the Raiders, right,

101
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: even when they sucked, Even when the Raiders have been

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: one of the biggest joke franchises in the NFL, there

103
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: were always interesting things about the Raiders. Where are they

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: going to play, Who's their quarterback? Is their quarterback Derek

105
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Carr really a good quarterback on a bad team or

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: is he a bad quarterback on a team that should

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: be better? What about those awesome uniforms? And what's going

108
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: on with the owner's haircut? There was always some talking

109
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: point about the Raiders, and if you were doing sports

110
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: talk radio, whether it be in Reno or Vegas or

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: wherever it might be. Right now, you got stuff to

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: talk about with the Raiders. You got Pete Carroll, you

113
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: got a young running back that people are excited about.

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: They got Geno Smith and did he get a second

115
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: lease on life? Where are they going to be? I

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: said that I thought the Raiders actually are gonna make

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year. There are interesting things about the Raiders.

118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Now give me one other team at you off the

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: top of your head, and or a state Idaho that

120
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: has an NFL team You told me before, any state,

121
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: any state that has an NFL franchise. Okay, Minnesota, Minnesota?

122
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: All right? So the Vikings, even when the Vikings have

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: been bad, you got Ragnar he's coming in on the Harley.

124
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Then you've got the quarterback drama of oh my gosh,

125
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do? Because they draft this JJ

126
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy and then they brought in Sam Darnold and what

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: do you know, he got like the second lease on life,

128
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: and one of the best, if not the best receivers

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL plays for them. And how cool is

130
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: it that their colors are purple and that happens to

131
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: be the favorite color of Prince and Princess from Minneapolis.

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: And even though he's not around anymore, the legacy of

133
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: Prince lives on because purple rain. Because the Vikings, and

134
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: they're never terrible, they're okay, They're always at least compotent.

135
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: There are interesting things to talk about with the Vikings.

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: What's going to happen this year with the quarterback situation?

137
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: And are they going to burn the prime years of

138
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: one of the best wide receivers in all of the

139
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. And as I was thinking

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: about this, and by the time that I was going

141
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: through this, and I was thinking about the Raiders and

142
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings and everything. Now it's three thirty two in

143
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: the morning and I'm looking and I'm staring at the

144
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: ceiling and I'm thinking to myself, here's the thing. The

145
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Colts at the very least had the opportunity to be

146
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: moderately interesting. Moderately interesting, because why do some people go

147
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: to the Indy five hundred some people go to the

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred, you talk to them and they go, well,

149
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I love all the pompit circumstances and everything else,

150
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: but the race itself. Like you know, we were sitting

151
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: in turn two this year and it was kind of

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: boring because there just weren't any crashes. You don't want

153
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: to see anybody get hurt in auto racing, don't get

154
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: me wrong, But the reality is, if you look at

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: and trust me, it's a very gray air and the

156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: promotion and the marketing of auto racing because if you

157
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: talk to those of us that work in it, you

158
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: try to avoid talking about the dangers and the inherent risk.

159
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: But as Paul Page once said, without that danger, the

160
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: men are just ordinary and the women. And so that

161
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: element of not knowing when you're going to see that risk,

162
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: that danger, that accident around the corner, is part of

163
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: what draws people into an extent about the Indy five hundred,

164
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: and then the breath taking pass and the speed And

165
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson, wasn't there something to be said about

166
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he has an element of excitement about

167
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: him because there's this unbelievably you never know when you're

168
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: going to see that incredible pass of the speed, but

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: you also know that the crash is right around the corner,

170
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: and he's at least interesting. The up and down, the

171
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: yin and yang, the inconsistency, the occasional throw that makes

172
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: you wow out of your seat, the ability to tuck

173
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: the ball and run and go down the field against

174
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: the New York Jets and lead a drive. Those things

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: were interesting. And instead of having that interesting intrigue, instead

176
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: of going with that, that kept you going back because

177
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: you didn't know exactly what it was you were going

178
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: to see. My fear is this. My fear is that

179
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: right now sports talk radio in Las Vegas, and I'm

180
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: going to guess in Las Vegas it's probably some afternoon

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: or midday show called like Nick and the Wolf right,

182
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, hey wolf Man, give me a team,

183
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: off the top of your head. And in Minnesota, up

184
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, I'm guessing it's like, you know, something like

185
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Leif and Erickson in the midday show, right, and one

186
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: of them saying like, hey, Leaf, give me a team.

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: And if either of those two shows mention Indianapolis, then

188
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: the host is saying to himself, man, I took a

189
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: roll of the dice and I just completely came up

190
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: bust because I was hoping you were going to mention

191
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: a franchise that was interesting, and the Indianapolis Colts just aren't.

192
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: They aren't interesting. They're best players at guard. Okay. Their

193
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: most effective and consistent player defensively is an end It

194
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: gets some sacks. He's a big guy, and there's a

195
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: lot to love about him as a leader. But he's

196
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: not getting interceptions and doing Deon Sanders dances, and he's

197
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: not making breath taking plays, and he's not coming in

198
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: on a hot blitz and blasting anybody necessarily. And their

199
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: most exciting offensive players are running back. It's cool except

200
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: for that when he's got to do like an eight

201
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: r touchdown run, he drops the ball at seventy nine.

202
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: And their best wide receiver is a big target. Michael

203
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. Is a really good player, but most of

204
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: his plays are like across them thattle twelve yard catch,

205
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: turns around, gets hit, goes down. Okay, he's a good player,

206
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: very good. All these guys are great players, good to

207
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: great players. But they're now led by a quarterback named

208
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. And I had this conversation yesterday, Daniel Jones

209
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: kind of sounds like, to be honest with you, like

210
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: if you if it's late at night and you're watching

211
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: some old episode of the Golden Girls and they have

212
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: on somebody pitch an insurance call your local insurance agent

213
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and then then you look at like old

214
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties comic books of some boy scout looking American

215
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: poster child, and it's like, and it's some guy who's

216
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: caricature drawing looks a little bit like Daniel Jones. I mean,

217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: Davy Jones at least like, you know, went to Marcia

218
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Brady's house and was part of the monkeys. But Daniel Jones,

219
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: we're out of We're out of Rocky Road ice cream,

220
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: We're out of pistachio, we're out of butter pecan, we

221
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: got vanilla. It just feels like the Colts, and I

222
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: get it. Daniel Jones probably gives them the best idea

223
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: of who they can be. And he's the safer pick

224
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: between the two because he may not have the breadth

225
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: making speed, he may not have the exciting pass, but

226
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: you feel like he at least keeps it safe in

227
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the corners and you're not going to have the crash.

228
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: But it's kind of boring, and it feels to me

229
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: like we have a better idea of what Maybe you

230
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit better floor to use that terminology

231
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: and the season itself. You have a better idea as

232
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: to how low of the bottom it can be, but

233
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: you have an even better idea on what the ceiling

234
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: is going to be. What's the ceiling for the Colts

235
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: this year? Eleven and five, Yeah, ten and seven, eleven

236
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: and six, I guess it would be right, you know.

237
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: That's that's the challenge, and we need we want the

238
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Colts to be good. We want the Colts to be competitive,

239
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: we want the Colts to be interesting. It is in

240
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: my best interest every single day. I'm gonna say it

241
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: right here. I'm gonna take my glasses off so I

242
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: can look clearly at the YouTube channel right here inside

243
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: the Hubler Automotive Group studio. Okay, I'm looking right now

244
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: at you that are watching on the YouTube stream. I'm

245
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: speaking to you clearly. If you're listening to me on

246
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: the radio. My name is Jake Querry. I'm the midday

247
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: host from twelve until three on ninety three, five one

248
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: zero seven to five to the fan. And I've never

249
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: been more certain about anything in my life than this.

250
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: We need, from a business model standpoint, for the Colts

251
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: to be interesting, because we're going to talk about them

252
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: for the next three or four months, and we need

253
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: them to be interesting. I'm begging you, the Indianapolis Colts,

254
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: please be interesting. And the NFL in general, even the

255
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: most boring team in the NFL is more interesting than

256
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: the most exciting team in Major League Baseball. Right It's

257
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: just the way the cookie crumbles. It's the reality of

258
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: the sports talk radio hierarchy in American culture. But with that,

259
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: you still don't want to be the least interesting team

260
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: in the league. And I just worry that this team

261
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: is going to be boring. I look at the schedule,

262
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: and again, I was a Cub scout, so I'm always prepared.

263
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: I have the schedule posted right here next to me. Miami, Denver, Tennessee.

264
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: First three games that Colts Titans game on September twenty first,

265
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: you know what that is. That's the game in all honesty,

266
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: in some correctional facility, maximum security prison in the middle

267
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: of Idaho somewhere, when they tell the guys good news Sunday,

268
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna let everybody sit in the commissary and watch

269
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. Awesome. What game? Uh? Colts and Titans? What

270
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Colts Titans? That's the game. Like when they used to

271
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: put on the NFL Network. They're like NFL Network. Everybody

272
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: gets a game. Guess what you get to see the

273
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Browns. Ooh, and that's week three, so

274
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: they have the chance to get themselves some wins and

275
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: make themselves interesting. But I just worry that they're gonna

276
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: be boring. Now what I'd like to know from you,

277
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the listening audience. And yes, it's in my best interest

278
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: to make sure they're interesting, So I'm not trying to

279
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: plan it in your head that they're not going to

280
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: be because I want you interested in the Colts. I

281
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: need you interested in the Colts. But I want to

282
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: know if I'm just old and jaded or just jaded

283
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: in general, because Lord knows, I'm not old. Yes, I

284
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: did have to get up early this morning for my

285
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: heart appointment, but I'm not old. But Eddie, my question

286
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: for you is this. Am I too critical? Am I

287
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: too cynical? Am I too negative? Am I too pessimistic?

288
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: Or am I simply realistic in saying that the Daniel

289
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: Jones led Colts may be weak to weak overall competitive

290
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: but not overly sexy.

291
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: That's probably fair.

292
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: I think that sounds like it should be a motto

293
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: of this show, right, competitive but not sexy, although I

294
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: actually we're the other way around. We may not be competitive,

295
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: but we are sexy, right, Hi to get the nod.

296
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you're saying at this point

297
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm competitive, but gosh darted, I'm sexy. But now you

298
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: tell me in terms of my assessment, evaluation, prognostication for

299
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts.

300
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: No, I think it's right. I mean I understand both

301
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: sides of it. Of the fans that were upset about

302
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: Anthony not starting because it gives them the higher see

303
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: higher ceiling, but the floor is much lower with the

304
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: week to week consistency and what to expect from the

305
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: Colts offense and the hope I think from Shane Stikeen

306
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: and they're thinking is that, you know, maybe they can

307
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: get a little bit of what the forty nine ers

308
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: have done, what the Minnesota Vikings have done, and you know,

309
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: having a really smart quarterback try to make the right

310
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: decision and just not screw things up and turn the

311
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: ball over. Just distribute it like a point guard to

312
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: all the playmakers around and let those guys shine by

313
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: making yards after the catch and doing whatever the case

314
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: may be, and you're able to have solid defensive play,

315
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: and you're able to win twenty four to twenty one,

316
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: win a lot of these one score games that they

317
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: lost a year ago.

318
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Jake, for the love of God, either get to

319
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: the point or be replaced. Okay, that's cool, thank you

320
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: for listening. That's right. I don't understand this text, by

321
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: the way, and this is the problem with the text line.

322
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: See is sometimes and believe me, we've seen this in

323
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: the history of this time slot, where you get a

324
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: little too obsessed by reading the text constantly. But I

325
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: am curious what this means. Hey, Max put Grench back

326
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: in his cave? Am I being a Grench here? I

327
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: don't know who Max is? Max is the little dog? Well,

328
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was talking about I don't know.

329
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know if he was listening to the podcast

330
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: from this morning for some reason and was thinking of

331
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: Max Bowen. Okay, Max Bowen. Of course, Kevin's younger son.

332
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: But I think he means Max the little dog put

333
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Grench back in his cave because I'm being too negative.

334
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: I agree with this. Hey, Jake, you aren't wrong, but

335
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: I think the entertainment value of what we get is

336
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: irrelevant to wins. I totally agree. If they win games,

337
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: obviously they become interesting. That goes without saying, but does

338
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: anybody really believe that they're going to win enough games

339
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: this year to be in the upper echelon to staying interesting?

340
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: He said the dog. Yeah, that's what he's saying. I know.

341
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: I hate, Jake. The home games last year were the

342
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: most boring since they've been here. That's my concern. My

343
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: concern is just simply that and I need that, Listen,

344
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: I need them to be interesting. I'm not hoping against it,

345
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: rooting against it. I'm just curious if and yes, the

346
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: job of Shane Steichen, the job of Chris Ballard is

347
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: to put out the team that best gives them the

348
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: chance to win. I totally get that. I'm My one

349
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: concern is that Jonathan Taylor, DeForest Buckner, Quentin Nelson, these

350
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: guys are good players. Michael Pittman's a good player. Josh

351
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: Town's a good player, no doubt. They have a good roster.

352
00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: We can bang on and we certainly will Chris Ballard

353
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: as much as possible about the quarterback situation. But they

354
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: have a good roster. But unfortunately the most important decision

355
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: he had to make, it looks like he swung and missed.

356
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: And I think there is growing sentiment and conclusion amongst people.

357
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: And I'm going to stand by this myself, and I

358
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: want to make very clear I don't have no one

359
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: has told me this. This is not a report. This

360
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: is strictly a tea leaf reading. Okay, the adamancy, if

361
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: that's a word in which Shane Steichen has talked about

362
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: every single time he's asked, even when he doesn't necessarily

363
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: intend to talk about it, every time he talks about

364
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: organizational things above and beyond stuff on the field, the

365
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: locker room, the huddle, what happens inside the building every

366
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: time he goes there, without even properly expanding it. But

367
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: every time he goes there, it sounds more and more

368
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: and more like what he is wanting to say. When

369
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: you're on I four sixty five and you're on the

370
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: west side of town and you're making that Bend just

371
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: before you get to the Pyramids. That is the most

372
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: prime billboard in all of Marion County because it's seen

373
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: by more people in this town than any other. Right

374
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: there on four sixty five, and Shane Steichen has all

375
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: but rented out that billboard to say, this guy doesn't

376
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: get it. We've tried, We've tried, and we've tried, and

377
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: this guy doesn't get it, get what all of it.

378
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't get what it takes to be a quarterback

379
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He doesn't get what it

380
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: takes to read through progressions, he doesn't get what it

381
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: takes to naturally be a leader. None of this is

382
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: an indictment on him as a person. There are plenty

383
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: of very good quarterbacks that never got it, plenty of them.

384
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't make him a bad person. It doesn't make

385
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: him a dumb person. There are very intelligent people that

386
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: go out there, and just Ryan Fitzpatrick is an extremely

387
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: intelligent guy. And he probably made a living in the

388
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: NFL longer than the average Bear because or Titan or

389
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Cardinal or every other team that he played for. I

390
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: don't think he played for the Bears, but you get

391
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: my point. But there are so many guys that have

392
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: the intelligence, that have the x's and o's to be

393
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: able to go out and do it, but you gotta

394
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: have the physical skill as well. Richardson has a ton

395
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: of physical skill. And it's not even necessarily his fault

396
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: that he was never given the proper timeline to be

397
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: able to go out and learn how to be the quarterback,

398
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: but they handed it to him too early. Then it

399
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: blew up on him. Probably his confidence got rattled a

400
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: little bit. But Shane Steichen is all but said, there

401
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: has to be something going on that we don't see,

402
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: because not because he didn't win the job, because he

403
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: lost the starting job to a guy that has plenty

404
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: of experience of of being a starting quarterback. But the

405
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: reality is, every time Shane Steichen's asked about it, he

406
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: drops the hint of basically what he's saying is, folks,

407
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: believe me, it's stuff going on that you don't see,

408
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: or not going on that you don't see. I don't

409
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: think he's going in and picking fights in the locker room.

410
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: I think guys like him, right, I think guys like him,

411
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: But there is something missing that they have waited and

412
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: waited and waited to find the answer on and very

413
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: clearly they just said, you know what, the time is up,

414
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: because at some point you also reach a point where

415
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: you say, if it hasn't happened by now, then we

416
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: are playing with the law of averages that it's just

417
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: never going to happen, and therefore we have to as

418
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: a franchise, we owe it to the rest of the roster,

419
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: which is a good roster. We owe it to them

420
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: to fire the guy that at least gives a semblance

421
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: of professionalism about what he's going about doing.

422
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: Jake, we got a text from Adam, and I think

423
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: Adam enjoys the program because he made it an analogy

424
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 2: about the whole Daniel Jones situation.

425
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: Here.

426
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Adam says, Daniel Jones is vanilla ice cream that's

427
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: been expired for three days. It might still be fine,

428
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: but there's some risk there. That's a good way of

429
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: saying it. That's a good way of saying it. What's

430
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: the e when you look at something and it says

431
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: best if sold by, don't you give yourself like another

432
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: ten days because you're like, wait, if it's sold by then,

433
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: then I still got ten days in the fridge.

434
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: With this right, Yeah, I don't know.

435
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: I just try to have it consumed or gone or

436
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: whatever by the best sold by day.

437
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: You know, the easiest way to avoid such dilemma. I've

438
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: never cooked a meal in my life.

439
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: I was about to say, you never cooked a meal,

440
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: so not buying groceries. You don't ever what to do

441
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: with this.

442
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: Correct, I've never cooked a meal in my life. Thus

443
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: very easy. I don't have to necessarily worry about you know,

444
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: best if used by dates. Now, colowns I think have

445
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: an expiration date, and that could be a problem because

446
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: I've got plenty of them laying around. Matt Taylor is

447
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the voice of the Colt's going to join us coming

448
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: up just a couple of minutes from now. Stephanie White

449
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: on the program today as well. And the guy that

450
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: can make the Colts interesting, the guy that's going to

451
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: make them interesting this year. And my understand yes, if

452
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: you could please let him know. Eulysses Bentley the Ford

453
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: is going to join the program today. Eulyssa is Bentley

454
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: the fourth, Eddie. This is your biggest pull so far

455
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: as a producer. Oh thanks getting Ulysses Bentley the Fourth.

456
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: And look not just because he has the best name

457
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL going on my resume, but he now

458
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: actually might be putting on his resume that he's a

459
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: member of the Innapois Colts because I think he could

460
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: make the roster. Things are shaping up for him to

461
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: do so. Indiana just got done from a basketball standpoint

462
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: with their trip south, but also football standpoint, interesting things

463
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: going on. Whoever would have guessed that we would live

464
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: in a world. Whoever would have guessed fifteen years ago

465
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: we would live in world where the Indianapolis Colts were

466
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: not a national football talking point, but the Indiana Hoosiers are.

467
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: What in the hell's going on? But we'll talk about

468
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: that with Mike nine the Bloomington Herald Times. Thank you

469
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: coming up in the two o'clock hour. Stephanie White as well,

470
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: thirty minutes from now, but Matt Taylor, voice of the

471
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Colts next, what many many years from now, when I'm

472
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: some faded little blip on the radar like David Lee

473
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: Roth's latest concerts that he's doing on some bad eighties

474
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: cruise where he actually looks like a scaled out version

475
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: of himself. It's horrifying when I'm that version. And Eddie

476
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: Garrison is a media mogul in Indianapolis. Not that he's already,

477
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: but somebody I'll ask him. So, Eddie, what's the one

478
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: thing about Jake Querry that you remember from back when

479
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: you were a younger guy. The first thing Eddie's going

480
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: to say is heat out all of the Fast Times

481
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: that Ridgemont High tunes stuck in my head.

482
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: Now that analogy is an obsessive amount of cologne. The

483
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: Colonne wonderful assessed with his physical appearance. Well, can't you tell?

484
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: But wouldn't you agree that at least the one thing

485
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: where I most benefited you was introducing you to the

486
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: greatest movie, Fast Times, the original High.

487
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: It's not the greatest movie. It's certainly a great movie.

488
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: It's a great movie. The greatest movie is the one

489
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: that you have yet to see. Caleb has not. Okay,

490
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: well you have a word. What about Caleb you seen? Sah? Yeah, yeah,

491
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: that's because you know Caleb is actually not a communist.

492
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: Joining us now in the program on the always Busy

493
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: and Available to be sponsored guest line, Matt Taylor is

494
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: the radio voice of the Indianapolis Colts. Matt, I will

495
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: get to the question off the top for you That

496
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: is the obvious question, and that is your Were you

497
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: surprised by the fact that Daniel Jones is the starter?

498
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: All I need is a tasty wave and a cool bus,

499
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 3: That's right. Uh, I had to get that in there.

500
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: You get to talk about fast times, bro, Come on, No,

501
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't surprised. I'm either way. I wasn't going to

502
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: be surprised because I thought it was a pretty even competition,

503
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 3: and so, you know, Shane steik And laid it out

504
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: there pretty clear the other day. He was pretty clear,

505
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: pretty concise, and to the point that decision is all about,

506
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: you know, encapsulates everything that a quarterback has to perform,

507
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 3: and encapsulates consistency at the line of scrimmage, mastery of

508
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: the playbook. And then obviously it goes without saying it's

509
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: you know, the more consistent, uh player, if you want

510
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: to call it that, in terms of ball placement and accuracy.

511
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: That's who the Cults are going with, at least early

512
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: on in the season. So I wasn't surprised that both

513
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 3: guys had good camps. They had you know, certainly they

514
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 3: bring their strengths and different profiles to the offense. But

515
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: I wasn't going to be surprised either way. And I

516
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: think Daniel Jones, in terms of his his skill set,

517
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: gives the Colts a pretty good chance to get off

518
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: to a good start.

519
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Do you think Matt that to me? Well, I'm not

520
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: going to lead the witness on his task and flat

521
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: out are the stuff Kiles a play between Jones and

522
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: Richardson differing from one another enough that this changes the

523
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: offensive game plan or style that Indianapolis would have had

524
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: design for themselves.

525
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, great question, And no, I don't think so at all.

526
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: And I think that's a big reason why they paid

527
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones what they did in free agency and lured

528
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: him in because you know, esthetically they wanted the offense

529
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 3: for the rest of the skilled players in the offensive

530
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: line to be pretty similar. I mean, is Daniel Jones

531
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson in terms of overall athleticism, No, but Jones

532
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: is still pretty athletic. I mean we've talked about this

533
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: in the past. Jones has the six most rushing yards

534
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: among quarterbacks since he broke in the league in twenty nineteen,

535
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: So he can move and I think you're still going

536
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: to be able to game plan the running nature and

537
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: the running threat of the quarterback to the defense. With

538
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones out there, now, you may not be calling

539
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: eight or nine design runs like you maybe were with

540
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Richison, but you get what I'm saying, Like you

541
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: just he's not a statue. He's not Gardner Minshew, he's

542
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: not Joe Flack go. And I think the Colts were

543
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: intentional about that in this competition to kind of pair

544
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: somebody up athletically with Anthony Richardson for the overall health

545
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: and adjustment of the rest of the offense around the quarterback.

546
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: No matter who won that job. Now, is Daniel Jones

547
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 3: going to push it like Anthony Richardson? Historically the numbers

548
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: say no, but doesn't mean he can't, doesn't mean he won't.

549
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: You know, his yards per attempt has always been in

550
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: the sixes. You know, obviously, Anthony Richardson last year led

551
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: the NFL and yards per completion at fourteen. But again

552
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: in terms of consistency, you're talking about the guys in

553
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: the back of their football card. You know, for his career,

554
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is completing about eleven passes per game, and

555
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: only four times in his career has he completed more

556
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: than twelve passes in a game, whereas Jones seventy career games,

557
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: he's averaging right around twenty completions per game. So I

558
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: think that's what it boiled down to for the Colts

559
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: in terms of how those numbers, you know, transpire, and

560
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 3: how they manifested themselves in training camp and play. Okay,

561
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: let's let's stay on the field. Let's let's choose efficiency.

562
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: We may be sacrificing some of the big play stuff,

563
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: but you know, let's stay on the field. Let's convert

564
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: more third downs, let's be better in the red zone.

565
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: I think that's what it kind of all boiled down to.

566
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: With Shane Steichen.

567
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: You know what Matt I was thinking about this as well.

568
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: The Colts just drafted Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren is clearly

569
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: a special talent. I know that Anthony Richardson has a

570
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: great arm, but his great arm typically is from like

571
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: forty five yards and beyond. Doesn't Daniel Jones give you

572
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: a better opportunity to consistently on target get the ball

573
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: to Tyler Warren.

574
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Tyler Warren that now that we

575
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: know who the quarterback is going to be, I think

576
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: we might have to recalibrate, you know, our expectations and

577
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: the production that we see out of him this year.

578
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I think regardless he was going to be,

579
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: you know, a big impact player right away, but with

580
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: Jones as his quarterback and being you know, historically so

581
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: good at being able to complete intermediate passes between the numbers,

582
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: and that's where you know, a guy like Tyler Warren

583
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 3: can really produce. You know, I don't think it's crazy

584
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: to say that he might be flirting with sixty seventy

585
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: catches and you know, obviously more targets than that. I

586
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: think those two have really found a good synergy in

587
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: a good report together with one another. And it's really

588
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: exciting to see the potential of Tyler Warren within this

589
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: offense based on whose quarterback is and where all they

590
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: can line them up at, you know, involve him in

591
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: the screen game with yards after the catch, the drags

592
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: over the middle. That's quite frankly, Jake, That's what we've

593
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 3: talked about all off season. That's where the Colts have

594
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: had to get better this entire off season is capitalizing

595
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: more and using the middle of the field more often.

596
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: They were so deficient in that department last year. So

597
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: on paper, you have a quarterback that's better at that

598
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: at this stage in their career. When you compare Jones

599
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: and Richardson with the running game that they have in

600
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor coming back at the fourteen hundred yards, you've

601
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: got three receivers over eight hundred yards. You've got a

602
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: great offensive line. You know, obviously some new pieces up front,

603
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: but they're acclimating well. I mean, you've got Tyler Warren

604
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: here now, like there just isn't a lot of liabilities

605
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: and weaknesses on paper with this offense.

606
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Matt, somebody sends in the text here

607
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: that says, when I was seven years old, my mom

608
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: and dad took me to the drive in to see

609
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: Fast Times a Rigemond High is that parent of the

610
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: year category.

611
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: Hey man, let's go out and have a good time

612
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: and then we'll explain the stuff later after they go

613
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: to bed, or you know, maybe they wake up the

614
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: next day and they hey, what did this scene mean

615
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: or what was he talking about? You can adjust on

616
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: the fly, but go have a good time.

617
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: I would think that from the second that Phoebe Khs

618
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: dives into the pool, that is till about ten minutes

619
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: after it might be popcorn and refield time for the kid.

620
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you gotta have you gotta have something ready

621
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 3: to go. You gotta have that lock and loaded. And

622
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: you know what I've been guilty of that. You know,

623
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: sometimes you just needed some some chill time and some

624
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: some you know, you know, parental uh, you know escape.

625
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta have some sanity about your life

626
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: with kids. Any any parent can attest to it. So yeah,

627
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: sometimes you got to have these explanations big picture wise,

628
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: ready to go so that you don't get yourself in trouble.

629
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: That is beautiful. And by the way, speaking ready to go, Matt,

630
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I know we got to let you get going here.

631
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: I did want to ask you this game three, preseason

632
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: game number three against Cincinnati. I mean, we will see

633
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: who under center, for example, and we will see what

634
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: player or two that you most have your eye on,

635
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: because you're like, I didn't think that this guy be

636
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: playing for a job, but he's right there in the mix.

637
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great question. And I think you're gonna

638
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: see Riley Leonard start the game at quarterback and maybe

639
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: he plays a quarter or most of the first half.

640
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: I do think you're gonna see Jason Bean for most

641
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: of the second half, maybe a little bit more depending

642
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: on how the offensive series go. And then on you know,

643
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: on defense, there's a couple of guys I want to see.

644
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: I want to see some of the depth linebackers continue

645
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: to put there forward to make a roster spot. The

646
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: guys like I mean, Joe Box, He's probably that's probably

647
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: not fair for me to lump him being because I

648
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: think he's solidly on this roster. But I don't know

649
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 3: he's going to play Austin, a GK, Cameron Marone, you know,

650
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: some of these other guys. And then on offense, I

651
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: think you're gonna see a steady dose of a guy

652
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: like coleman Owen. He's a slot receiver, kind of plays

653
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: like Josh Downs in terms of size and stature. But

654
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna catch like seven or eight passes

655
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: in this game. If I was a betting man, he's

656
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 3: gonna be a really active undrafted free agent kid out

657
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: of Ohio Tyler Common. I know we've talked about him

658
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 3: before from Emporia State. I think he'd be very active

659
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 3: in the second half, trying to claim a practice squad

660
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: position at the end of the preseason, so there are

661
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: good stories littered all over the roster. You listen these Bentley,

662
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: who I know you've talked a lot about, is coming

663
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: on the show. He's a great story. I think he's

664
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: gonna get a lot of run and show what he

665
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 3: can do in the second half. So they you know,

666
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 3: Rick always kind of jokes, but he's also serious at

667
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 3: the same time. Like this third preseason game, it's called

668
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 3: the Employment Bowl, and it's I mean, you're talking about

669
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: guys who are scratching and clawing to make a roster

670
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: to stick in the NFL, make a practice squad. I mean,

671
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: you can make a damn good living on a practice

672
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: You can make two hundred thousand dollars a year. I

673
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: don't know how many twenty three year olds, you know,

674
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: right out of college that can make that good of

675
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: a level living that early on in their career professionally.

676
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: So it's it's a big deal for a lot of

677
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 3: these guys, and it's going to be a meaningful four

678
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: quarters for the back end of the roster.

679
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: By the way, I think they should keep Tyler Common

680
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: on the team. And I know it's spelled ka h

681
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: M a M, but they should keep him just so

682
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: they could have Tyler Common and then Tyler Uncommon and

683
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: the same offense. I think it'd be awesome. That's a

684
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: play by play guy's dream.

685
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: It's amazing how your brain works. It really does, Matt.

686
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz,

687
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: and I'm.

688
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: Fine old buzz.

689
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: You know I want man.

690
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 3: I've always wanted Van Halen to play my birthday.

691
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is save Brooks Shields man, save

692
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: it from Brown. And you got the cash in our

693
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: times for him. Appreciate the time. As obvious is this

694
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: is my time in your time. Doesn't that make it

695
00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: our time?

696
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: It's our time, Jake, I know.

697
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: It's your time for your meeting, by the way you

698
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: got to get to it. I appreciate the time, all right, guys,

699
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: be well. Matt Taylor, the voice of the Colts. I

700
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: hope you've watched Fast Times Richmond High. If not, you

701
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: have no idea what we just talked about for the

702
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: last like three minutes. What are people so? Thank you? Eddie? Yes,

703
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: mister Han's the best. Is he not awesome? Mister Vargas

704
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: is cool too, but mister hand is by far the best. Oh, yeah,

705
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: you know how to think it's scary the guy that

706
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: played like this happens with so many movies from that era.

707
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: But don't look up the age of actors back then.

708
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, you see guys playing a role and then

709
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: you look it up and you're like, wait, what that

710
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: guy was like forty five in that scene, it looks

711
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: seventy again. I just go back to, I think the

712
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: fact that there was some weird thing in this country

713
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: from like nineteen thirty to nineteen eighty where you just

714
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: came out of the womb with a lung dart. Yeah,

715
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, everywhere you went. Stephanie White's

716
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: going to join us on the program, and we're going

717
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: to get into the situation regarding not only the injury

718
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: of Sophie Cunningham now out for the year that we know,

719
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: but Caitlyn Clark and that return. There is kind of

720
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: conflicting stuff going on with that. I'll explain what I'm

721
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: talking about before we talk with Stephanie. She's going to

722
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,479
Speaker 1: join us top of the hour. We will get into

723
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: what I mean in terms of the injury. Next, you know,

724
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: what was a fun game I just thought of, Eddie.

725
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: What's that if we and it would be the two

726
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: of us. Okay, uh huh, And I'm not saying for today,

727
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: just at some point on a rainy day before we

728
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: get into the Caitlin Clark injury News. Here and thank

729
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: you for listening to Quary and Company. My name is

730
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: Jay Quarry. Eddie Garrison the other voice you hear on

731
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: this program. Uh, Caleb Ziver is is it Ziver? Ziver?

732
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: Ziver Zuber?

733
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

734
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: I think it's Ziver? Is it Zuv e er? I

735
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: think I have it on my phone as Ziv. Can

736
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: I call you from now on? Nobody's ever called me that,

737
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: But Caleb z Iver is hanging out with us. He

738
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: is a new member of the company, literally, this company

739
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: that we work for, and they actually have his name

740
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: in the W two correctly, at least we hope that's right. Well,

741
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: I think I told him it's Ziver, So if you

742
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: don't get the check, you might want to check the uh,

743
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, find a Ziver somewhere and you can find it.

744
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, Eddie, we should do sometime a Each bounce

745
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: back song over the course of the show has some

746
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: sort of a theme that ties in with one another.

747
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: And then by the end of the show for Saya

748
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: Chicago's pizza gift card, see if people can guess what

749
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 1: the theme is? What is? What is the Each song

750
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: relates in some way, shape or form. And this would

751
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: require you and I And this is the hairy part

752
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: of this, uh, planning things before the show and talking,

753
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: which is you know what I mean, Yeah, as you

754
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: know my I have the notifications turned off until eleven

755
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: fifty five and then you and I figure out what

756
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. But you know then and then everything

757
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: gets rolling. But if you go back and think about

758
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton, and I hate to bring that up, but

759
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: I only do it because it gives us a baseline

760
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: knowledge of what I'm about to say. They are apples

761
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: and oranges. There is no comparison between the injury of

762
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark and the injury that Tyre's Halliburton just suffered, obviously,

763
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: and I understand that. But when Tyre's Halliburton had his injury,

764
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: and in particular before he had the strained calf, if

765
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: you recall, Tyre's Haliburton had that game where he did

766
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: kind of an awkward split. I think it was against

767
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Toronto might have been two years ago, and he had

768
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: and that led to like the groin, the interior growing in,

769
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: and then he would come out and wear the brace

770
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: on his back, and there was just a lot of discussion,

771
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: a lot of question as to whether or not one

772
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: injury didn't kind of parlay itself into another. And I'm

773
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: only bringing up Haliburt not because of what the ultimate unfortunate,

774
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: terrible injury was in the way that that ended. And

775
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: we all know, and I will say until the last

776
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: day I'm on Earth that I totally understand why he

777
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: was on the floor given the risk at stake and

778
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: that situation because you are literally one game from an

779
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: NBA title, you have to go without those odds. But

780
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: when all of that was going on, one of the

781
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: things that we talked about, and I'm not a doctor,

782
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: but when it comes to an injury, you wonder sometimes

783
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 1: where other injuries aren't created because of the body's inability

784
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: to at times handle injury without over compensation elsewhere. And

785
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: in this situation with Kitlyn Clark, what we know is this,

786
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: We know that Kaitlin Clark has been battling through a

787
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: right groin injury and that has sidelined her. You know,

788
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: it was almost a month ago, July twenty fourth, when

789
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: it was Hey, there is no definitive timetable for return.

790
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: And now we learn that she also has a bone

791
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: bruise in her left ankle. Now I would assume that

792
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: that came from some sort of a contact, but it

793
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: is entirely possible that that injury may actually be the

794
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: result of an odd compensation of the groin injury during

795
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: her workouts, where she was favoring or moving in such

796
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: a way that it complicated things elsewhere. And that's that, unfortunately,

797
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: becomes the reality of those sorts of injuries and the

798
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: rehabilitation thereof. And that may well be and we'll find out.

799
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: I said one o'clock. By the way, I was wrong.

800
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: Stephanie White gonna join us at one thirty, bottom of

801
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: the one o'clock hour. But you know, that's what you wonder,

802
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: is okay. So we know that she had this groin injury,

803
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: we know that they were resting, and but then when

804
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: she came back. One of the toughest things that players

805
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: will tell you when they come back from a big injury.

806
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: And I've done enough sports media stuff, Yes it's true.

807
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the worst injury I've had athletically speaking,

808
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: I broke my foot, Okay, I mean that's pretty minor,

809
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: right in the grand scheme. But when you talk about

810
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: athletes that have had ACL injuries or PCL injuries or

811
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: hamstringed tear those kinds of things, I mean things that

812
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: are really debilitating physically speaking, and especially if it requires

813
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: surgery to come back from. One of the biggest things

814
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: that you hear and that athletes will tell you, and

815
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: I'm talking big time, elite level athletes whose livelihood is

816
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: dependent upon their physical conditioning, one of the biggest things

817
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: that is a challenge is the mental aspect of still

818
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: going through the same range of motion, that is, the

819
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: range of motion that led to the injury to begin with,

820
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: and convincing yourself that, in fact, the body is okay.

821
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: You know, this is a really bad comparison, I realize,

822
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: but it's the only thing by which of late that

823
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: I can relate to. And I know people get tired

824
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: of talking about the fact, you know, of me talking

825
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: about the fact that, like, I had a heart attack.

826
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: But after I did, I remember, for the first month,

827
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: every little single thing that would happen that happens to

828
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: you every single day that you don't think about right now.

829
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: A slight heartburn, a you know, a car pulls out

830
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: in front of you and your heart quote unquote, your

831
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 1: heart skips, it beat, all of those little things. When

832
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: you come off of a heart attack, every little single

833
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: thing like that, you're like, oh my gosh. And the

834
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: cardio rehab that I went through, the biggest benefit of that,

835
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: that was an epiphany that I will never forget for

836
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: as long as I live, was when they put the

837
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: wires on me to be able to monitor your heart

838
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: while you're going through a stress test on a treadmill.

839
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: And this was probably ten days after I had gotten

840
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: out of the hospital, and I kept feeling these little

841
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: zap sensations, which probably was more than anything else in

842
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: my head. But I kept feeling this little zap, like

843
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: a zap, and I wondered if it was some sort

844
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: of an im impropriety in the movement of my heart. Frankly,

845
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: And it happened while I was wired up and the

846
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: nurse was looking at the monitor and I said, right there,

847
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: it just happened, and she gave me the smile and said,

848
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: and see, there's nothing there I'm looking at it and

849
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: there's nothing there, and that hearing that took care of

850
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: the problem because the psychology I was going through went away.

851
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: And for athletes, I think a lot of times when

852
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: they have an injury to a part of the body

853
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: that they're not used to, they need to go through

854
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: the motion and get back into the game before they

855
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: really truly understand that it's not going to happen, that

856
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: they're okay, that it is on the mend, and until

857
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: that happens, I think now the bone bruise may have

858
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the groin injury, but you can't

859
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: rule it out that without even realizing she was doing it,

860
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: she may have been compensating in that area. And that's

861
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: where things become complicated, even for athletes that are younger

862
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: and in a more elite physical conditioning than any of

863
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: us will probably ever see in our lifetime. It's just

864
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: the reality of the physical nature and the psychology sports

865
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 1: psychology of coming back from injury. And I'm curious when

866
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: we talk to Stephanie coming up at one point thirty

867
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: whether or not you know one timeline effects or impacts

868
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: the other. Eddie, we still have spots to give away

869
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: within our fantasy football league? Is that correct? We do?

870
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: We have two just too? Just too? Are we gonna

871
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: do that? Next? We should do that? Are we going

872
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: to do show trivia? Colts trivia? What fashion would you

873
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 1: like to do it?

874
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 2: There are the final two spots, Jake, So we have

875
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: to be a little more tough. I think it's a

876
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 2: tougher Yeah.

877
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: Do you know my all time favorite Indianapolis Colts trivia question?

878
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: And by tougher, Jake, I mean not giving somebody four

879
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: or five or six different opportunities at joining the league.

880
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: What about this question? What's Caleb's last name? Is it

881
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: fair for me to ask a question that I would flunk?

882
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

883
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: Is just say it Ziver or Zuver? Z It's Zuber

884
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: z Iiver? Right? Okay, come on now, I don't know

885
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: why I'm thinking Ziver. Why do you think? Why do

886
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: you think I'm thinking Zider?

887
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

888
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

889
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: Maniver sounds more fun, doesn't it than Zver? Zuber's cool,

890
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: but Ziver's really cool.

891
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

892
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm going over to Ziver's house later.

893
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally. Well, I mean it is your last name,

894
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: after all. All right, we'll give away the last two

895
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: spots in our fantasy league, and back into the discussion

896
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: about the Colts, and we might even discuss things beyond

897
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: just a quarterback next what there is one player that

898
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: I think is a big factor for the Colts that

899
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: has implications on the quarterback battle that has now been settled.

900
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: I tip my hand on that a little bit earlier.

901
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in just a little bit. But

902
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: my name is Jake Corey. Eddie Gerrison the other voice

903
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: you hear on this program again, A big show lined

904
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: up here for the remainder of the day. Stephanie White

905
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: gonna join us about twenty five minutes from now. You

906
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: let's just Bentley the Fourth. I'm telling you, this guy

907
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: is going to make the roster. He's going to make

908
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: the roster at the very least at the beginning of

909
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: the year, just based on attrition in general. But I

910
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: think he's played well.

911
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: Jake, I got breaking news for you, Ulyssi's Bentley the

912
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: Fourth is actually now joining us in ten minutes. Really,

913
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: they got off the field early and now he's joining

914
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 2: us at one fifteen.

915
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: Just so you know, that means that you before is

916
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: now LFG baby, right, Okay, I'm just saying, don't kids,

917
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: So should we give away one spot in the Big

918
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy League before we get to Ulysses Bentley the fourth?

919
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, Jake. That's a good, good

920
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: call on your in. I will let you select. You

921
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: have been vetting the callers at evening. You select vetting

922
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: by just asking for their name. That's correct, starting with George.

923
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: By the way, that's my pseudo name if I ever

924
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: went somewhere and I just want to give a fake

925
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 2: name every now and then and be like, yeah, I'm.

926
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: George, really, yeah, George Garrison. Yeah, and you're almost a beatle. Hi, George,

927
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: how are you doing?

928
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 6: Well?

929
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 4: It's funny. I've got two brothers actually named Paul and John.

930
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: Are you serious?

931
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: Are your parents if you don't mind me asking, are

932
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: they still married? No?

933
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 4: Unfortunately not, but big beatleskins.

934
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: Well, are you married?

935
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 3: I am? Yeah?

936
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 1: Okay? Good? That means you got a ringo. Oh, George,

937
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: you liked that, didn't you? You like that kind of singer,

938
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't you. That's the listen, that's the reason you're phoning

939
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: in this radio program, isn't it.

940
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 4: It's a dad joke, man, that's wonderful.

941
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: I love it.

942
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: I know, well, I do what I can. You know

943
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? I got a cat? I mean, you know,

944
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: for what that's worth? All right, George? Right? Would you

945
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: like to go say that again?

946
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 4: Isn't dude? Isn't that your cat?

947
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: George is already showing a flexing little muscle the already

948
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: in terms of regular party.

949
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: That was already a trivia question though.

950
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: That was the show.

951
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 4: I love the show. I listen every day. I'm in

952
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 4: sales drop.

953
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: What line of sales are you in? George? What are

954
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: you peddling? I think he said pharmaceutical? Yes, just out

955
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: of curiosity, curiosity? How are things going on your quest

956
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: to go down to the bottom of the ocean to

957
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: see the Titanic? That was a that was That was

958
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: a bad cell connection joke. Okay, George, I will let

959
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: Eddie pick the question for you.

960
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 2: I was not ready for this, Eddie, I was not

961
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 2: ready for this.

962
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: Were you not?

963
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 7: You?

964
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: Weren't a scout? Were you no? George? Do you want

965
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: to know my favorite cult trivia question which I've asked

966
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: every single time a Colt's trivia question comes into play

967
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. Sure, how old a fella,

968
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: are you George?

969
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: I'm thirty seven, depending.

970
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: On how long you've listened to this program, because I've

971
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: asked this question. Literally, I ask it once a year,

972
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: but it's my favorite Colts question of all time. Who

973
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: was the first ever draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts? I?

974
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: I don't okay? How about this? In nineteen ninety two,

975
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: the Colts had the first and second pick in the

976
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: NFL draft. Name one of the two players they selected.

977
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 4: Man, I feel a idiot. I'll guess, Marshall Falk.

978
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with one last one for you. Are

979
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: you ready? What Indianapolis Colt led the Colts in rushing

980
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: in their Super Bowl victory?

981
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 4: Oh, Dominic rud Eddie.

982
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 1: I will let you be the judge and jury here

983
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: are we?

984
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 2: Are we giving?

985
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 4: We should have been MVP?

986
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: Okay the second part? They're a popular Indianapolis narrative, are

987
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: we Uh?

988
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 4: Well, we'll let Georgia in George a die like George.

989
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: You are in the mix, buddy. We are bringing it

990
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: into the next Monday night. We will see you at

991
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: Chicago's Pizza in Greenwood and John and Paul you know

992
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: you can show up as well. By the way, the

993
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: first ever draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts was defensive

994
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: back out of Vanderbilt, Leonard Coleman. Leonard Coleman, defensive back

995
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: out of Vanderbilt, was the first ever draft pick of

996
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. He opted for the USFL before coming

997
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: to the Colts later, and I think played two seasons

998
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: and was a fairly pedestrian player.

999
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: All right, kids, taking note of that, that maybe on a

1000
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 2: future quiz, I'm.

1001
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: Telling you that is my favorite trivia question ever in

1002
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: terms of the first and second picks of the nineteen

1003
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 1: ninety two NFL draft and the unfortunate thing because there

1004
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: is a lot of criticism, albeit fair criticism, about the

1005
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: fact that the Colts kind of swung and missed on

1006
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: both of these guys. They didn't swing and miss, but

1007
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: when you have the unpreceded nature of the first and

1008
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: second pick within the same draft in that situation, you

1009
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: very clearly one would think that it is immediately trajectory

1010
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: changing for your franchise. And for the Colts. They took

1011
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: Steve Tman number one out of Washington and Quentin Coriott

1012
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: number two out of Texas A and M, and neither

1013
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: one really actually Coreot might have turned out to be

1014
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: the better player because Edtman's career was totally racked by injuries.

1015
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: But it's very easy to look back on that and go, man,

1016
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: what a joke. But that draft was really dry. It

1017
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: wasn't like there were big, big players in the rest

1018
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: of that draft, so they you could make the argument

1019
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: even if it were redrafted a couple of years later,

1020
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: that those guys would have been amongst the two top picks.

1021
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: And Quentin Corriot's finest moment, or at least most memorable

1022
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: moment as a cult would have been the near interception

1023
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: that he had in the AFC Championship game when they

1024
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: lost to Pittsburgh. He had an interception. I mean he

1025
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: had it, took one step and then I think kind

1026
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: of his knee hit the bobble of the ball in

1027
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: his hands and he was not able to complete the interception,

1028
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: which would have probably sealed the game. That or the

1029
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: LaMonte Warren trip up. Obviously, I still have the PTSD

1030
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: over all of this, Eddie, What are you drinking over

1031
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: there today? By the way, the Chi t It's been

1032
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: a while since you've had the chi tea? Is it?

1033
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: Because you listen s Bentley the Fourth is going to

1034
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: join the program.

1035
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: No, I just you know, wanted some chi tea this morning.

1036
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 2: Is there a problem with that?

1037
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 1: Would you like to guess? You listen Spentley the Fourth's hometown? Ooh,

1038
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to even guess Georgia. Maybe

1039
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: you know one sippy one thing that I did not

1040
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: realize you LIS's just Spentley the Fourth in his college

1041
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: football career. Obviously, Ole Miss is the school for which

1042
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: he most recently played. But do you know where he

1043
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: began his college career? SMU? Yes, how did you know

1044
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: that I was looking him up in preparation of the show. Well,

1045
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: then you would have known that he's from Houston, Texas.

1046
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: You see, Jake, I'm not like you. I didn't pay

1047
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: close enough attention to see where he was from. He

1048
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: is a native of Houston, Texas. He was the aac's

1049
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: American Athletic Conference Right with that sm mu's in he

1050
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: was the AAC They call it the Rookie of the Year.

1051
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense now because with the transfer portal,

1052
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, you would say Freshman of the Year, but

1053
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: rookie of the year, meaning that you could you're the

1054
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: first year in the league, and that could be about anybody, right.

1055
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: Jake, forg you know, five minutes away, you're getting nervous,

1056
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 2: your palm's getting sweaty, needs week arms are heavy. FU

1057
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 2: on your sweater.

1058
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: Already we're five away. I thought we were five away,

1059
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: like seven minutes ago. Now we're four minutes away. I

1060
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: am excited to speak with ulyss' spently the fourth, partially

1061
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: because all kidding aside, and the name is great, and

1062
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm not the only one that

1063
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: has pointed out how awesome his name is. And then

1064
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: I wondered if there's actually a level of like offensiveness

1065
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: about the portrayal of his name, which I would feel

1066
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: bad for because it's a family name. I'm very curious

1067
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: to hear about the name because it's awesome. But I

1068
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: do think that he is a guy that has played well,

1069
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: and I know that I keep saying he's going to

1070
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: make the roster when you look at the injury to

1071
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Goodson and the uncertainty at that position.

1072
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 2: And Khalil Herbert's injury as well.

1073
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: Correct so at the very least, it seems as though

1074
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: he is a certainty to make the practice squad, but

1075
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: obviously he wants to make the full roster. And running

1076
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: back is such an interesting position to me in the

1077
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: NFL because we have always seen the every year. I

1078
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: mean Jonathan Williams, remember he had back to back one

1079
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: hundred yard games. I mean, the running back position is

1080
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: one in the injury in the NFL that seems to

1081
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: have the greatest frequency of guy off the street just

1082
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 1: pops in and is able to get you a seventy

1083
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: five yard card on on twelve carry type game and

1084
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: carry you a little bit.

1085
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: You know who I always think of when people make

1086
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 2: those kind of.

1087
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: Mentions, James Mungrow. Jonas Gray. Yeah, I mean there's was

1088
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray, the one what was his signature moment?

1089
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: He had three hundred game against the Coltsman Patriots.

1090
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: I thought he had three touchdowns, didn't he against the Patriot.

1091
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: Or he had a ton of yards.

1092
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't, I can't remember it. It was one of

1093
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: those games. Yeah, I mean the Patriots are the poster

1094
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: child of this right where if you have a particular system,

1095
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: and I think in general, because we've gotten away from

1096
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: the Bell Cow running back offense in the NFL and

1097
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: so now I think there is it lends itself more

1098
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: towards like the air drop running back. And maybe that's

1099
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: because offenses now are so complex towards the passing game

1100
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: that when you are doing a now you've got to

1101
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: be able to read blitzes and read formations. But in

1102
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: terms of what the offense is doing, if on a

1103
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: pass play, if you're the running back, I mean, you

1104
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: just got to make sure that you're picking up protections, right.

1105
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: But I think that the because of the devalue of

1106
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: the back position in terms of how it works into

1107
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: your offense, perhaps that allows that is the position that

1108
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 1: allows for guys to be planted in because it's not

1109
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: an overly complex list of plays when you are calling

1110
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: a running play.

1111
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 2: Thirty seven carries two and one yards four touchdowns in

1112
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 2: that game. Four Yeah, okay, And I think we're kind

1113
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 2: of seeing a shift jake in that regard at the

1114
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 2: running back position, like you loogre at that because of

1115
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 2: so many teams now going to the two.

1116
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: Highs, I would agree with that.

1117
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: And I mean the Colts have done in which Alen

1118
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: Carli is a former safety now turned linebacker. You're seeing

1119
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: a lot of these teams up for speed at the

1120
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 2: linebacker position versus you know, like the Zaire Franklins and

1121
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: the Brian Urlocker in the Patrick Willis and those Ray Lewis,

1122
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 2: all those types of right backers that are much more

1123
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, stronger and bigger to be thumpers in the

1124
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: run game. Thumpers, yeah, run stoppers. Yeah. And now they're

1125
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: going smaller, so you're seeing the ring game come back

1126
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 2: because most these backs are big enough to where they

1127
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: can run over a line back.

1128
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: When you think of franchises that are known for having

1129
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: a rotation of running back that just seemingly can go

1130
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: five deep one thousand yard seasons, New England every time. Okay,

1131
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. The one that I always think of.

1132
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: And I'm going a little bit on the way back here.

1133
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: Not necessarily currently the case because they've been looking for

1134
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback first and foremost. But I remember the time

1135
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: when literally, like in fantasy football, if you were like

1136
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: at that point in the year where like I got

1137
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: to get a running back and it's Week twelve, the

1138
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos were a team that I don't know what

1139
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: it was about their O line, but no moreno lot Yeah, yes,

1140
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Tatum Bell was that, Orlanda's Gary

1141
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: was Howard Griffith there maybe at one point, I mean

1142
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: there was.

1143
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: A Monty ball that one year after Michigan.

1144
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean they would have they would have like five

1145
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: or six guys, seemingly one after another that would all

1146
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: go out and get them like a one hundred and

1147
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: fifty yard game, one hundred and twenty five yard game,

1148
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: and then no matter who they started, invariably it was

1149
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: always a one thousand yard back almost without question. A guy.

1150
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: To me, that's going to be very interesting for the Colts.

1151
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: And I mentioned it with Matt Taylor and we were

1152
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: talking to him, but it did not take long to watch.

1153
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: And I was watching in preseason game number two, and

1154
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: I was watching what they were doing offensively, and the

1155
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: way that they were utilizing Tyler Warren made it very

1156
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: obvious that he is a guy that they just want

1157
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: to get him the ball over the middle, like you

1158
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: know the quote unquote in space guy, right. And in

1159
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: doing that then I thought about, Okay, the problem with

1160
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: and I'm using problem in air quotes, but the problem

1161
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson for example, and this may be the

1162
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: case with Daniel Jones. No one has questioned Anthony Richardson's

1163
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: arm and his arms strength, and he has done a

1164
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: better job I think of showing and delivering pass plays

1165
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: in the like fifteen to eight, you know, the Pittman

1166
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: out or Josh downs, that kind of thing. But in

1167
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: terms of hitting a guy perfectly in stride that is

1168
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: streaking across the middle from eight yards across, and in

1169
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: that situation, you are wanting it to be a guy

1170
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: that is, like I mentioned, in stride where you just

1171
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: get in the ball and you let him go, and

1172
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Warren seems to be that's exactly how they want to

1173
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: utilize him, and you need a quarterback that more reliably

1174
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: can get him the ball and that situation in stride.

1175
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that is not in fact a

1176
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: deciding factor again amongst others, in terms of why they

1177
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: went the route that they did with their decision of

1178
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones as opposed to Anthony Richardson and Warren just

1179
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: being the guy that they want to make sure that

1180
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: they're utilizing in that position. But joining us now on

1181
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the program, he has become a show favorite because and

1182
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I kept saying, and you folks have all followed me

1183
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I kept saying, every time this guy runs hard, I

1184
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: want somebody to send me a tweet. I want somebody

1185
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: to send me a text. And there was plenty of

1186
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: opportunity for that because he has played well and certainly

1187
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: is making himself known and trying to secure a roster position.

1188
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,439
Speaker 1: He is a running back, of course, out of old

1189
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: miss by way of SMU. And I'm talking about Ulysses

1190
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Bentley the Fourth who joins the show Ulysses, how are

1191
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: you good man? How you doing? How you doing? I'm good?

1192
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: You know. I'd like to begin with this, and I

1193
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: love the name Ulysses and certainly Ulysses Bentley the Fourth.

1194
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: And then I want with the band you be forty.

1195
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Does anybody ever call you you before?

1196
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

1197
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, sometimes I get you before. Usually you know my nickname,

1198
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 6: everybody call me.

1199
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Do So okay, uh okay. So let's begin with this.

1200
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 1: And I certainly want to get into because I do

1201
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: love the name Ulyssa Bentley the Fourth, and I'm sure

1202
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you have been told that your entire life, but let's

1203
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: begin with this. You have a unique situation here because

1204
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: it feels to me like you came into a camp

1205
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: where you knew that you had to take opportunity when

1206
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: it was given to you, and you've done that. But

1207
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden you are in position here

1208
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: where I think you've got a very good chance of

1209
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: making this roster. What is the mindset in terms of

1210
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: knowing how nuanced it can be between making the roster,

1211
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: the practice squad situation, and just finding your role in

1212
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: your way.

1213
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 6: I think for you know, going through this camp, my

1214
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 6: mindset is just, you know, just to keep going into

1215
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 6: all the way, you know, just being prepared and being

1216
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 6: and kind of like you said, you know, I obviously

1217
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 6: you know, I got a chance to kind of, you know,

1218
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 6: get on this team and try to fit my way

1219
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 6: into the roster. I've just been thinking on just like

1220
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 6: attacking each and every day and just just being a

1221
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 6: better version than myself.

1222
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: You're in a situation where you know you've been into

1223
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: a new roster and having to find your way. I mean,

1224
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: when you transferred from SMU to Old MESS. So you

1225
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: go to Old MESS, you're obviously a player who had

1226
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: already experienced at SMU, but probably different system You're expected

1227
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: to play right away and you come into that situation.

1228
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Did that benefit you now in terms of the kind

1229
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: of learn on the fly nature of the NFL.

1230
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it definitely did. Kind of like having that

1231
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 6: switch from SMU to old mess being in the sec

1232
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 6: you know, I was able to, you know, just go

1233
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 6: in there and just I'm a quick learner, so I

1234
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 6: was able to just you know, learn things very fast,

1235
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 6: and you know, just being me as a player, just

1236
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 6: always just being prepared for that moment because whenever name

1237
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 6: is called, you know, I'm ready to go.

1238
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: What makes you different as a running back? What's the

1239
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: thing that you look at and say I deserve to

1240
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 1: be on an NFL roster because I do this.

1241
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 6: When I look at me as a running back, I

1242
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 6: think that overall, you know, I'm all all around, you know,

1243
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 6: complete back, you know, first through second down through third down.

1244
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 6: I'm very good at running routes. I have very you know,

1245
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 6: great hands and stuff like that. So I'm very you know,

1246
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 6: useful and versus all on the field.

1247
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy being a receiving back?

1248
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 6: Uh?

1249
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I most definitely do. You know.

1250
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 6: I love running the ball. But you know, when they're

1251
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 6: able to just you know, line me up in different

1252
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 6: places and be able to use me, you know, in

1253
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 6: different schemes. You know, I love it. Whatever I have

1254
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 6: to do for the team to execute.

1255
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: You let's just Bentley the fourth is our guest Colts

1256
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: running back the Colts as you know you listen, I mean,

1257
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: obviously the quarterback battle has been settled. Shane Stikeen announced

1258
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: it was Daniel Jones, and he mentioned the fact that

1259
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: he was very impressed by the way those guys competed

1260
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: but also tried to lift one another. You're in a

1261
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: situation in a running back room. We know that Jonathan

1262
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Taylor is going to be the feature back for the Colts,

1263
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: and then you have you know, another rookie in Giddings

1264
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: that's right there. When you guys have a room that's

1265
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: crowded like that, how do you balance the competition with

1266
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the fact that it is still a teammate.

1267
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 6: I think like kind of like I just said, like

1268
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 6: you know, just going throughout aneast you and every day

1269
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 6: just you know, being able to just keep going. JT

1270
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 6: and all the veteran guys, you know, they they have

1271
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 6: done a very you know good job of just being

1272
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 6: a leader, you know, helping us young guys out with stuff,

1273
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 6: because like I said earlier, you know, just being prepared

1274
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 6: and just being ready because at that point in the time,

1275
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 6: when your name is Paul, I'm just going to you know,

1276
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 6: just be prepared to do whatever I need to do

1277
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 6: for my team.

1278
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: By the way, I went to an Old Miss game

1279
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: I think it was last year and had to go

1280
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: through the grove for tailgating. Obviously you're a players didn't

1281
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: get to experience that, but you're certainly aware of it.

1282
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Is there any program that tailgates like Ole Miss?

1283
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 6: Oh nah, definitely not.

1284
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: You know, through the grove.

1285
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 6: We kind of walked through first before the game, so

1286
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 6: we definitely like see the fans.

1287
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: And stuff like that.

1288
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 6: It's very it's a very like, you know, wild moment

1289
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 6: and wild scene to see.

1290
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: But I think no other schools is like that for sure.

1291
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: A wild moment, wild scene is definitely a good way

1292
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: of saying it, right. It's literally it's it is. It's

1293
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: like part of the Mississippi culture, right, I mean, like

1294
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the people have the same spot and the same deal.

1295
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean it is a massive, massive deal. And you

1296
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: grew up in Houston, where football is obviously, in its

1297
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: own right, a huge thing. How big was the high

1298
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: school football where you played?

1299
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 3: Uh, it was very big.

1300
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 6: I tell people all the time, like, you know, Texas football,

1301
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 6: the games were always sold out in high school, so

1302
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 6: that kind of when I got to college, it kind

1303
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 6: of was like it really wasn't you know, much different,

1304
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 6: So it was all the same.

1305
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I got it. Now let me ask you this.

1306
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: You listen. You listen. S Bentley the Fourth is our guest.

1307
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to be I'm going to be straight

1308
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: with you here. Okay, your name jumped out at me

1309
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: on the roster when I was looking, and it was

1310
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: right at the beginning of training camp, and I was

1311
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: looking for a player that I just wanted to root

1312
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: for and talk about on the show, and I saw

1313
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: your name, and I'm like, this is the most awesome

1314
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: name in the NFL. And I made the joke that

1315
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: it's partially because when I hear the name Ulysses Bentley

1316
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: the Fourth, I immediately thought of a guy like in

1317
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Great Britain playing I don't even know if they play

1318
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: polo in Great Britain. In Great Britain, but it sounded like,

1319
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: now you've been told this before, I assume right, I'm

1320
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 1: assuming that your whole life when you say your name,

1321
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: that people automatically ask if like you own some sort

1322
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: of like a Bentley dealership in Edinburgh, Scotland or something. Right.

1323
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 6: Oh, they always actually that that's kind of like my

1324
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 6: dream cause so hopefully one day I'll be able to

1325
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 6: get it.

1326
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: Bentley and a Bentley I love that, right. Yeah, So

1327
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 1: take me through the the origin of the name, because

1328
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: obviously there's a third and a second and a first.

1329
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you have a child, I assume

1330
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna be you know, Ulysses Bentley the fifth. But

1331
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 1: but take me through the name itself.

1332
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, my grandfather was the second, and then

1333
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 6: obviously my dad was the third, and then I'm the fourth.

1334
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 6: You know, my uh, my dad and my grandfather they

1335
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 6: just wanted to you know, to keep it going. And

1336
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 6: uh that's what I you know, hope to do. As

1337
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 6: soon as I have a son, I'm gonna probably name

1338
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 6: him the fifth for sure.

1339
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty awesome right now. Yeah, And then

1340
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: I was worried about this, okay, and I've I've gone

1341
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: back and forth on this, but I can tell you've

1342
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: got you know, you're a fun guy I created when

1343
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: you first signed on the roster, I had a voice

1344
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: of a guy that I that I was doing that's

1345
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: not the voice of Ulysses Bentley the Fourth, but rather

1346
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: of somebody that knows Ulysses Bentley the fourth, and it's

1347
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: and and then I was I was worried that my

1348
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: voice is offensive because maybe it's not my place to

1349
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: bring in and characterize what the name means. Now, are

1350
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: you okay with me doing the voice? Should I is

1351
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: this a dangerous area? Should I not do the voice?

1352
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: I let me here? Yes, I'm very excited to see

1353
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: your listens Bentley play. I mean, here's obviously a very

1354
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: good chess player, and I enjoy him in the polo

1355
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: grounds as well when we're at the club together. Your

1356
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: thoughts definitely definitely?

1357
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 3: I like its cool?

1358
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, all right, so I have permission? Is that okay?

1359
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: I probably should have asked permission before I did the voice, right, boy? Listen,

1360
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Here's the funny thing. When you guys were playing Baltimore

1361
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 1: in preseason game number one, and I had done the

1362
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: voice on the show, and somebody sent me a message

1363
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 1: saying that they were trying to watch the game, and

1364
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: they picked up the Baltimore television broadcast and you came

1365
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: into the game and the Baltimore television guys said, like,

1366
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: this guy sounds like he just came off a yacht,

1367
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: and I thought, Yes, that's it. That's the that's the

1368
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: beauty of it, right. I absolutely love it. Now. I

1369
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: also think I do think deep down if at some

1370
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: point you need to be Jersey number forty so that

1371
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 1: we can be ub forty, because I think that would

1372
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: be the ultimate in all of it. But I'm telling you, man,

1373
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: like I'm absolutely rooting for you. I do think you're

1374
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: going to make the roster, and if it's not here,

1375
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: then elsewhere. But I think there's a place for you

1376
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: with the Colts. And I think that you have played

1377
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: really really well. Have you gotten indication as to how

1378
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: much you're going to be seeing the field against Cincinnati

1379
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: or do you guys know that kind of thing yet?

1380
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

1381
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 6: I haven't really you know, God, yeah, that's pretty much

1382
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 6: you know, a game decision. But you know, like I said,

1383
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 6: when my name is called, and I'll be prepared and

1384
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 6: you know, ready to go.

1385
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's what I'll do. In conclusion, I would

1386
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: simply say this. You know, many people fancy themselves with

1387
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: rolls rush, but I prefer myself with Bentley is that

1388
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 1: that's not bad, right.

1389
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 6: That wasn't bad at all.

1390
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: That was a good one. All right. I appreciate it.

1391
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: Best of luck getting that Bentley man. But first off,

1392
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: just continue to run hard. We have enjoyed watching it

1393
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: and we will enjoy following your career her hopefully as

1394
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: a cult And have you back on the program. All right, yes, sir,

1395
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate it. Ulyssa is Bentley the Fourth

1396
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: joining us from the Colts. Stephanie White is the head

1397
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: coach of the Fever is scheduled to join us next. Yes. Now,

1398
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I've got to make one thing clear here. First off,

1399
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: thank you to Ulyssa's Bentley the Fourth. He was very cool.

1400
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: And I am a classic overthinker. Sometimes I overthink things

1401
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: too late, and I will admit to the fact that

1402
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I thought after the fact, you know what, in terms

1403
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: of the history of one's name, there may be you know,

1404
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: before I'm making caricature of it, I probably should like

1405
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: talk to the first person first. So then I was

1406
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: I was genuinely worried and concerned that to Ulyssas Bentley Fourth,

1407
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: or to those people who are fans of his or

1408
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the culture whatever else, that the voice might be like

1409
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: taking the wrong way, and I was genuinely worried about it.

1410
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: But at the same time I could he was very

1411
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: cool and I think authentically he enjoyed the voice. Now,

1412
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: is that how you interpreted that, Eddie? I thought so. Yeah.

1413
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: I thought authentically he enjoyed it and that was a

1414
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 1: real laugh. Now. The other thing that I want to clarify,

1415
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: if you remember during the NBA Finals, I think it

1416
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: was the finals when I sat behind Rick Fox, and

1417
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 1: Rick Fox was very cool when I sat behind him

1418
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: at the game. And I still don't know exactly why

1419
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Rick Fox. I think he might have been doing some

1420
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 1: television work or something for the finals, but he was

1421
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: just sitting in front of me by himself and drinking

1422
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: a diet PEPSI I think he had a pretzel. And

1423
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 1: I just said, hey, you know, I host this dog

1424
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: and Pony show here in the midday. Would you be

1425
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: willing to join? And he said yeah, sure, cool, And

1426
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: I said, all right, great, I'm going to talk almost

1427
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: exclusively about the nineteen eighty seven Indiana high school basketball

1428
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: All Star team which had Jerome Harmon and Derwin Webb

1429
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: might have been on that team, and then all five

1430
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: Marion Starters and Rick Fox, and he laughed and said,

1431
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 1: yeah cool. And if you recall, not once, but twice

1432
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: we were to have him on and like it just

1433
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: went to voicemail. And I'm not putting Stephanie White into

1434
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 1: the Rick Fox category, but I understand why people would

1435
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: think that's the case. And I totally one hundred percent

1436
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 1: understand this. Stephanie White, who is you know. I mean,

1437
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: she obviously does media radio work herself, so she totally

1438
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: understands the radio game, in the media game. And yesterday,

1439
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: just before we were supposed to have her on, she

1440
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 1: got pulled into a meeting and she was very apologetic

1441
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: about it. And while we were talking to Ulyssa's the

1442
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: fourth she had sent me a message and I should

1443
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: have noticed this when I went to break, but she

1444
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: did send me a message that says, oh my gosh,

1445
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: I just got pulled into another pow wow. I will

1446
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: text you when I'm finished. So as a result of that,

1447
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: she is not in the Rick Fox category. She's legitimately

1448
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: not that Rick Fox wasn't legitimately unavailable to come onto

1449
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: the show. But I think Rick Fox's unavailability was because

1450
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,719
Speaker 1: he was taking a private plane to the Bahamas, which

1451
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: also understandable. Come on, but there's a lot going on

1452
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: with the fever right now in terms of Caitlin Clark,

1453
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: the bone bruise and the groin injury and the injuries

1454
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: that they have had to contend with and the roster

1455
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: change that's come about. I have another question that I

1456
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:54,520
Speaker 1: would like for the masses to help me with about

1457
01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: a month ago or so, and we go through phases

1458
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: with this. I think we all go through phases with this.

1459
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 2: We all have phases as sons are like my phase

1460
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 2: right now, Jake is I'm trying to get a perfect

1461
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 2: score on the three point contest in a WE Sports Resort.

1462
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Excuse me? What do you mean?

1463
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 2: Excuse you?

1464
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: What? You're shooting three pointers? Yeah?

1465
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 2: So you're familiar with the gaming console, the Wii, right, Yes,

1466
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 2: there was a game called WE Sports Resort. In one

1467
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 2: of the games on there was basketball and you can

1468
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 2: do a three point like a three point contest, okay,

1469
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 2: And I'm on a mission to get a perfect thirty

1470
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 2: for thirty.

1471
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: Would that lead to them a thirty for thirty? About

1472
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: this exactly? You know very well.

1473
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 2: Could.

1474
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about the Nintendo Wii, unpopular opinion. I

1475
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: couldn't get over how bad I thought the graphics were. Yeah,

1476
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: I know, it was very unfortunate. The little fella that

1477
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: looks like he's in the Kroger commercial. You know what

1478
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

1479
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I can't get over that. By

1480
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 2: the way, you missed out on being able to ask

1481
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor. He was he's apparently going to be in

1482
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 2: a McDonald's commer see this, Oh, a local McDonald's commercial

1483
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: or a national McDonald's commercial. I think it's a local one. Okay.

1484
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 1: Just today, track dude, Michael Young, I was talking to

1485
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: him and he said, by the way, have you noticed

1486
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: lately when you go into McDonald's how nice they are? Now? No,

1487
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: but I get my dad at McDonald's coffee every morning

1488
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: and the drive through is very efficient. But here's my

1489
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 1: question for you. The phase that I'm currently in.

1490
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 2: Nobody puking on your lap.

1491
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: That was Michael's airplane airplane ride back from Portland. The

1492
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: phase that I'm currently in is and I've probably tried

1493
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: to pick this up five or six times over the

1494
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: course of my adult life, but now I think this

1495
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: is the longest I've gone in terms of flipping the

1496
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: switch and making it part of a routine. But I've

1497
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: decided that I am going to make sure that I

1498
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 1: am adequately hydrating myself with water and drinking a lot

1499
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: of water every day. And I was so proud of

1500
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: myself because I went and I and I know, you

1501
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: got a tap right there, and you could do it

1502
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 1: that way. But I started buying big things of water

1503
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: and going to the big wholesale clubs and I'm like

1504
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Kramer leaving there with the beefer Oni, except for it's

1505
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: with water. And I'm literally I'm hauling around at any

1506
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: time basically at like an aquatic tank. Okay, back to

1507
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: my house. So I've been drinking water, and I'm so

1508
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: proud of how much water I'd drink. And then I

1509
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: looked up what the total suggested daily allowance is for

1510
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: one to drink water to properly and adequately hydrate themselves,

1511
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: and literally, I thought to myself, this is not humanly possible,

1512
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: that this is not possible. This has to be a joke.

1513
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: There's no way that anybody could drink this much water.

1514
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: And then here's the thing. They want you to drink

1515
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: this much water and then get eight hours of sleep.

1516
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: It's impossible at my age to get eight hours of

1517
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 1: sleep if you're drinking that much water. I can just

1518
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: tell you that right now, right do you know?

1519
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 4: Or?

1520
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Without looking, Eddie, without looking, would you like to guess

1521
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: what the suggested male adult intake for water per day is?

1522
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 2: I literally you're asking me like an ounces? Yes, how

1523
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 2: many ounces are in a gallon?

1524
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 1: Sixty? No? How many ounces are in a gallon? I

1525
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: actually don't know that. I don't know how many. I

1526
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: mean that's isn't that the metric system? I mean like

1527
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: there's a reason we had a war. Eight that's how

1528
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: many is per gallon? Per gallon? Okay? So would you

1529
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: like to guess how many ounces? How many? Let me

1530
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: ask you how many leaders are in a gallon? How

1531
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: many four leaders per gallon? Is that right? Three point

1532
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: seventy eight? Five?

1533
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 7: Eight?

1534
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: That's how many leaders are in a gallon? Yes? Okay,

1535
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: so we'll call it four. So what is your guess

1536
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: in terms of the total allot that? Don't look? What's

1537
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 1: your guy? I mean think about like when you go

1538
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: to the to the GA station and you buy a

1539
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: bottled water.

1540
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:03,679
Speaker 2: Now do you want me to answer this? In leaders?

1541
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 2: You want me to answer this an ounces.

1542
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 1: Either one or gallons either one a bottled water, Like

1543
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: if you if you go to the store now and

1544
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: buy a bottled water, it's probably twenty ounces, right, it's

1545
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: probably twenty ounces, maybe twelve or sixteen, but I would

1546
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: say more often than not it's twenty Now, don't go looking, no,

1547
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing math. Okay, Well, that's a very dangerous proposition

1548
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: on a radio show. But go ahead. Shows over at three,

1549
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: by the way, thank you.

1550
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 2: I know I know when our shows over, Jake, I

1551
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 2: will go with five hundred and twelve ounces. So that

1552
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 2: is four gallons, four gallons. Yeah, how many leaders is that?

1553
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: That would be sixteen leaders, sixteen leaders of water a day.

1554
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just outrageous number. Did you say

1555
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: four gallons of water a day you think you're supposed

1556
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: to drink?

1557
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. You said in some outrageous numbers, So

1558
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:52,440
Speaker 2: I was just going outrageous.

1559
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 1: It says here that you're supposed to drink three point

1560
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: seven leaders of water per day. That's a gallon of

1561
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: water a day, fifteen point five cups A cup I

1562
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: think is eight ounces, So I think it's like one

1563
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: hundred and what I'm getting at is the listing that

1564
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: I saw was one hundred and twenty six ounces of

1565
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 1: water per day, ten twelve ounce bottles of water per day,

1566
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: so one gallon pretty much, Yes, a gallon a day, Okay,

1567
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: per day. I mean you go to the store and

1568
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: they got the gallon of water sitting right there that

1569
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 1: you buy. Yeah, I mean, fine, you buy, But if

1570
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: you're buying a week's worth, you're buying seven of those things. Right, well,

1571
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: you can obviously reuse, Jake, people are going to start

1572
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: one if you do that. And when you go to

1573
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: the Flowing Well park in Carmel and you see that

1574
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: jackass that's got the car like a U haul backed

1575
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: up with like nineteen things, and I always thought that

1576
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: person actually was neurotica. Now I'm like, no, they're just healthy.

1577
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: They're just going on the daily allotment. Suggested that that's unbelievable, right,

1578
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: I don't you just carry.

1579
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 2: Around a gallon? Jay can start drinking out of that,

1580
01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 2: Like our engineer, Failing.

1581
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 1: Falin drinks a ton of water, but then Failing's failing

1582
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: Falan drinks water like half the day, and then I

1583
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: think he enjoys a cold beer at night. So just

1584
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: like you not every night, but a gallon of water

1585
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 1: a day. That's a ton man like you do. And

1586
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: then they say that like it helps you lose weight.

1587
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, helps you lose weight? You're you're carrying around

1588
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: an extra eight pounds of water all the time, you

1589
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, where do you live? In

1590
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:31,560
Speaker 1: the Ecuador?

1591
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 2: They're supposed to drink sixteen ounces after you wake up,

1592
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 2: sixteen ounces before you go to bed.

1593
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: Okay, great, you do that too. You got thirteen more

1594
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: more cups to go, buddy, I know, yeah, thirty two.

1595
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: You're a fifth of the way there. Congratulations. Is there

1596
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: a predicament that the Colts have to contend with this year?

1597
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: And does it matter if you're the Colts? I'll tell

1598
01:22:55,880 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: you the predicament and I'll answer the question next. There

1599
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: actually was, by the way, and I'm not making light

1600
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: of this at all. I'm not even going to say

1601
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: the market, the city in which it took place. It

1602
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: was not in Indianapolis. It was not in Indiana. But

1603
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: there was several years ago a radio station. When I

1604
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 1: say several, I'm talking like over twenty years ago. But

1605
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,679
Speaker 1: there was a radio station, you know, one of these

1606
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: whack you know, the morning Zoo or you know one

1607
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: of those wacky shows right where they smack you in

1608
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 1: the frog in the morning, that kind of thing. And

1609
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: they were giving away tickets to some concert or something,

1610
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,600
Speaker 1: and so they had a contest and the contest was

1611
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: to see who could drink the most water and a

1612
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: short amount of time without using the restroom, like who

1613
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,680
Speaker 1: could hold it the longest to win tickets. And there

1614
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: was a woman I'm not making light of any of them.

1615
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: I'm being totally serious. There was a woman who who

1616
01:23:56,240 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: passed away was fatally ill from water intoxication, which can

1617
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: happen if you drink too much water too quickly. So like,

1618
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: don't get up in the morning and say like I'm

1619
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: just gonna chug this gallon of water and be good

1620
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: for the day. I mean, I think it does need

1621
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: to be spaced out over the course of the day,

1622
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: but that is a When I saw the actual number,

1623
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:21,640
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that surprised me. I mentioned this

1624
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: off the top of the show, and I want to

1625
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: bring it back. I realize that the Colts want to

1626
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: win football games, and in winning football game, winning football

1627
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: games sells tickets. You know, Hanover basketball Hanover College basketball

1628
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 1: years ago. They were one of the first ones I

1629
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: saw that had the T shirt that said, you know,

1630
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: offense selles tickets, defense wins games. Bottom line is, if

1631
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: you want, you know, glitz and glamor can sell tickets,

1632
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: but nothing sells tickets like winning games. That's the end

1633
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 1: all be all. And when you are winning and you

1634
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: are competitive and you are competing for a championship, you

1635
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: are suddenly interesting and people are totally dialed in. Now

1636
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 1: almost every franchise in the NFL has something about them

1637
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 1: that makes them interesting. But I worry about the fact

1638
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 1: that the Colts don't have that aspect, and that's not

1639
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,919
Speaker 1: If they start winning games, they're going to be interesting.

1640
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I get that. And they opted for the quarterback that

1641
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 1: is not as interesting. Of course, they opted for that

1642
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: quarterback because that quarterback they feel gives them a better

1643
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: chance to win games, and therefore winning would make them interesting.

1644
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: But I'm curious of this, and hear me out on

1645
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: this and see if this makes sense. Is it possible

1646
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: that the Colts selected Daniel Jones not because they feel

1647
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 1: he gives them a better chance to win, but rather

1648
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:05,639
Speaker 1: because Anthony Richardson increases the odds They might lose because

1649
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: of an inability to decipher out of defense or at

1650
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 1: times not make the right decision in throwing the football.

1651
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: These two quarterbacks have essentially jogged their way to a

1652
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: dead heat in this one hundred meter dash of quarterback competition,

1653
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: and yet with a preseason game to go, Shane Steiken said,

1654
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:39,600
Speaker 1: here we go, it's Daniel Jones. And Daniel Jones is

1655
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: a better athlete than he's given credit. He does have

1656
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: he can run the football. The Giants used him in

1657
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: the running game a little bit. And he's not an

1658
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: inaccurate passer. He's nearly what sixty eight percent over the

1659
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: course of his career, not overly enticing longball thrower. If

1660
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: you're Ady Mitchell or Alec Pearce, you're probably thinking to

1661
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: yourself as well, okay. But if you're Tyler Warren or

1662
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Jr. Or Josh Downs, you're probably saying okay.

1663
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 1: And if you're Jonathan Taylor, you're thinking, I might get

1664
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: twenty two carries a game. But there's nothing about Daniel

1665
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Jones that jumps out at you as overly exciting. But

1666
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: you just have more variable of or I guess you'd say,

1667
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: actually less variable of the range in which he could play.

1668
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: And when I say he's the safer quarterback, I think

1669
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: people misinterpret that of me saying he's the better quarterback.

1670
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: He is a quarterback that has four numbers on the

1671
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: die and Anthony Richardson has six. And so if you

1672
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 1: had to accurately predict what number you're going to get

1673
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: when you roll a dice, you would go with the

1674
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: one that has the fewer numbers because it gives you

1675
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: the better chance of knowing what you're gonna do. And

1676
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: so therefore they go with Daniel Jones. But the more

1677
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: I've thought about it, the predicament that the Colts are

1678
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: in is are they about to be really boring? But

1679
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: they don't care because their job is not about being exciting.

1680
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: Their job is to win games. And what is fascinating

1681
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: to me is that Shane Steiken and maybe Shane Steikeen

1682
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 1: would totally disagree with this. I would expect him to,

1683
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, if you asked him point blank,

1684
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: if you asked Shane steike In point blank, he would

1685
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: deny this. In a public quarter he has to, But privately,

1686
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: if you put truth serum in him, I think what

1687
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 1: he has been saying, is this look, I've been telling

1688
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 1: all of you people from day one. This guy doesn't

1689
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 1: get it. He doesn't get it. He can't play quarterback

1690
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: because being a quarterback in the NFL is a lot

1691
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: more than just dropping back and throwing a deep ball.

1692
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: Being a quarterback in the NFL is a lot more

1693
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: than just dropping back, putting the ball on your shoulder

1694
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: and under your elbow and taking off running. There's a

1695
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: lot more to it than that. You got to look

1696
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 1: over things, you got to decipher things. You've got all

1697
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: of it right. And Shane Stichen, every time he's been asked,

1698
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: has basically said, it's operational. It's more to it. It's

1699
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 1: in the huddle, it's in the meeting room, it's in

1700
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: the film room, it's in the locker room, all of

1701
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: those things. And I don't think there's a single player

1702
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: on the Colts roster that dislikes Anthony Richardson. I don't

1703
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: think there's a single fan at Lucas Oil Stadium that

1704
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:47,759
Speaker 1: dislikes Anthony Richardson. But I think there is a locker

1705
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: room or a group of players from a football standpoint,

1706
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,520
Speaker 1: that have yet to grow their respect for Anthony Richardson

1707
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: because I think he is so physically gifted that he

1708
01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: just just hasn't had to go through the nuances and

1709
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 1: the time frame that most quarterbacks in the NFL have

1710
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: had to go through, and he has so limited the

1711
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: number of starts, and they kept asking him to get

1712
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:18,439
Speaker 1: it and figured out. Yesterday, the quarterbacks coach of the Colts,

1713
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 1: and we'll play this for you coming up in just

1714
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,640
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Not the best interview in the

1715
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: world by any stretch of the imagination, and looked fairly

1716
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: terrified to be on camera. But and I know that

1717
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:33,599
Speaker 1: he's you know, his father's Ron Turner and his uncle's

1718
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Norv Turner, and he's been around football. But the quarterbacks coach,

1719
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: when Kevin Bowen and James Boyd were asking him questions,

1720
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 1: was basically saying, we kept trying, we kept trying. I hear.

1721
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 1: I'll let you hear right now. This was yesterday when asked,

1722
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,880
Speaker 1: and it's Cam Turner. Correct. Cam Turner, the quarterbacks coach

1723
01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 1: of the Colts, made available yesterday and was asked just

1724
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: about the overall process and specifically about Anthony Richardson and

1725
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: what still may be kind of misfiring as.

1726
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 8: A position coach, you know, you want to see your

1727
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 8: guys succeed and be successful naturally. And you know, I

1728
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:16,320
Speaker 8: feel like I've tried everything I can do, you know,

1729
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 8: And I feel like he's given a great effort in

1730
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 8: that aspect too. And I don't think either way it's

1731
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 8: one or the other. I just think, you know, right

1732
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:25,639
Speaker 8: now is not where the consistency is just not where

1733
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 8: we wanted it to be.

1734
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean, the consistency is not where we wanted to be.

1735
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: At some point they had to say to themselves, if

1736
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: it's not there now, is it ever going to be?

1737
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 1: And they were running out of time. They ran out

1738
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,600
Speaker 1: of time, and so as a result, they go with

1739
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. And then the question to me becomes, does

1740
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:49,640
Speaker 1: that mean? Like I mentioned earlier, there are people that

1741
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: go to the Indianapolis five hundred mile race that don't

1742
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: know and follow racing a lot, and they're like, man,

1743
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:56,679
Speaker 1: I love the speed, I love the passing that takes place.

1744
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: And then afterwards you go, how was it to go?

1745
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 1: It was cool, but we were sitting in turn two

1746
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: and like there weren't any accidents where there weren't any

1747
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: crashes where we were all the crashes weren't three and

1748
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: whether and those of us that are die hard fans

1749
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: supporters of you never want to see anybody get hurt, obviously,

1750
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 1: But those of us that are quote unquote purest about

1751
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 1: racing understand that level of fascination with the sport because

1752
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: that element of danger is what makes it so captivating.

1753
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, yeah, I mean,

1754
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: you kind of don't want to use that as the

1755
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 1: promotion of racing itself, but I understand it. And with

1756
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: the Colts, there is an element of Anthony Richardson of

1757
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,720
Speaker 1: excitement in the fact that you have the passing the

1758
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: long ball, you have the running, the fast speed, but

1759
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 1: you also have the possibility at any time of the

1760
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,320
Speaker 1: disaster of that crash. You never know when the guy's

1761
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 1: going to hit the wall because he didn't read the

1762
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: right progression and the next thing you know, his pinky

1763
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: right is going in the wrong direction. Right. And I

1764
01:32:56,920 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: think the Colts just said, you know what, we understand

1765
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 1: this sizzle that comes with that steak, but right now

1766
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:05,839
Speaker 1: we just got to keep things a little more vanilla.

1767
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: And Daniel Jones is your guy, and what does that

1768
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 1: mean for them in terms of style of play. We'll

1769
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 1: answer that next. And Mike Nisleik, did I say the

1770
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 1: name correctly? Yes? From the Bloomton Herald Times about out

1771
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: of the hour. One of the things to me that

1772
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 1: is very interesting about this situation at quarterback and Matt

1773
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Taylor and I talked about this earlier. That interview by

1774
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 1: the way, with Matt Taylor along with Ulysses Bentley. The

1775
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: fourth will be available at one oh seven five the

1776
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: fan dot com. What's that?

1777
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 2: Who Matt Taylor?

1778
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 1: And who eulyss Is Bentley? And by the way, I

1779
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 1: have permission how to use it, got approval so you

1780
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 1: can use it. Yeah, those will be available. We asked

1781
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:55,559
Speaker 1: that you wait until after six to listen to them,

1782
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:57,800
Speaker 1: of course, because you're going to be listening to J

1783
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:00,920
Speaker 1: and B after this program. But one of the things

1784
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:03,559
Speaker 1: that we talked about is, and this is I think

1785
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is by design, but it's

1786
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 1: to benefit and that is a year ago when you

1787
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 1: had Anthony Richardson in your backup, which became your starter,

1788
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, and you go back and forth, and this

1789
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: was certainly you know, back when Matt Ryan was here

1790
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: or Philip Rivers or whatever else, when you had differing

1791
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the quarterback room, then you sometimes had different styles.

1792
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson were not the

1793
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: same style of quarterback per se. But I think Daniel

1794
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 1: Jones and Anthony Richardson really are. And one of the

1795
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: areas where we do not give Daniel Jones enough credit.

1796
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 1: I've been pretty hard on the Colts the first two

1797
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 1: hours of today, So let me tell you a couple

1798
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,759
Speaker 1: of areas where I'm going to give them some props.

1799
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: Number One, I think Daniel Jones is a better athlete

1800
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 1: and a bigger, more durable guy. Not durable because he

1801
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 1: also has had a lot of injury history, but he's

1802
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: a bigger guy that can get himself in space and

1803
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: extend plays like Richardson. Now, he doesn't have the overall

1804
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 1: longballt arm strength as Richardson. And there's less intrigue with

1805
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 1: Jones because you've had a lot more test drive on

1806
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: the car, so you have a better idea who he is,

1807
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: and you're not as captivated by the what might be

1808
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:40,599
Speaker 1: with this guy like you have with Richardson. But if

1809
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 1: Jones were in the game and something happens where he's

1810
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 1: knocked out of the game and you have to put

1811
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 1: richardson in, then I think you are asking your auxiliary,

1812
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 1: complimentary offensive players to run. There's not a huge change there.

1813
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Guys will tell you. And now whether this is true

1814
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: or not, I don't know, but guys will tell you,

1815
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: Like now, when we're in the huddle, like oftentimes you're

1816
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: not even paying attention to who it is that's calling

1817
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 1: out the play. You're just listening for the play and

1818
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:14,759
Speaker 1: whatever else. Okay, fine, But when a play breaks down,

1819
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: when you've got an audible whatever it might be, you

1820
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: know as alignment, for example, what the clock that starts

1821
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: ticking in your head, how long it is, depending on

1822
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: what quarterback you have, where they're going to move where

1823
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,839
Speaker 1: they and both those guys are pretty similar in that regard.

1824
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,799
Speaker 1: And so if you have to go from one quarterback

1825
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 1: to the other, either based on a scheme or situationally,

1826
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 1: and I don't think that they plan on doing that,

1827
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: but if you have to, you don't necessarily alter the

1828
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 1: way that you're going about things.

1829
01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 2: Din Jonathan Taylor tell you that Jake in an interview

1830
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 2: when you chat with him, he was highlighting kind of

1831
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:56,240
Speaker 2: what you're saying about Daniel Jones's sneaky athleticism. He said

1832
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 2: he was as fast as he is right, reaching like

1833
01:36:57,960 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 2: twenty one miles an hour. And you also asked him

1834
01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 2: about like if there's gonna be much change, and he

1835
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 2: was like no, And that's something different compared to where

1836
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,719
Speaker 2: they have been since drafting Richardson. Obviously you had Gardner

1837
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 2: Minshew and then last year you had Joe Flacco, so

1838
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 2: you had two guys that were, you know, primarily pocket

1839
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 2: passers who didn't want to move around, and now you've

1840
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 2: got Daniel Jones in the offense. Should realistically not change

1841
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 2: at all. Yeah, that's a bit.

1842
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 1: I think that's an asset, right, And I don't know

1843
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: if it was by design of let's get a quarterback

1844
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,679
Speaker 1: that plays the same way, or if it was, hey,

1845
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: we've got to get a veteran backup, and this guy

1846
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 1: happens to be available, and let's see, let's kick the

1847
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 1: tires on it and see if we don't get what

1848
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 1: we need out of Richardson, whether or not he is

1849
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: a long term guy. But Eddie, you made a very

1850
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 1: interesting point that I want to get to in a minute.

1851
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: But I want to go back to the areas that

1852
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: I think are positives for the Colts. Okay, this is

1853
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 1: a better roster than it was a year ago, and

1854
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 1: it's a better roster than it was two years ago.

1855
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 1: And as much as we or myself want to be

1856
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: critical of Chris Ballard, the reality is he has shored

1857
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 1: up a lot of the areas that people and including

1858
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:19,560
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, asked to have shored up. They're better in

1859
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield. Yes, they've had injuries there, but they've

1860
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: been able to take care of that a little bit

1861
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:29,800
Speaker 1: and in some ways you feel like they have some

1862
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 1: depth there that might help them through.

1863
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 2: By the way, Jake I'm not front Jalen Jones and

1864
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 2: Juju Briandts both returned to practice, so to Kenny Moore.

1865
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 2: Shane Steikin said today that Juji Brince will play in

1866
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Cincinnati this weekend.

1867
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 1: He's got to show that he can stay healthy. I

1868
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: like Juju Brince a lot, and I like his size

1869
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 1: and his range, but he's got to stay healthy. Right.

1870
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: But credit to Chris Ballard their defensive backfield. I think

1871
01:38:57,160 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: they've they've got a good room there. Three years ago,

1872
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: four years ago, the literally the most obvious statement in

1873
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: town three years ago, in the city of Indianapolis four

1874
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: years ago. If you had a situation where you were

1875
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,839
Speaker 1: a little bit dinged up and you were seeing stars

1876
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 1: and the doctor wanted to know if you had your

1877
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:27,479
Speaker 1: wits about you. The first thing he asked was do

1878
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: the Colts have a good receiving corps? And if you

1879
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: said yes, you were immediately taken in for evaluation, because

1880
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: everybody in this town knew they didn't.

1881
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 2: Is up before after you ask how many fingers am

1882
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 2: I holding up?

1883
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: That's the If you held up more than one, you

1884
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: were holding up the number of decent or you know

1885
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. Then they knew you were representing non

1886
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 1: the number of decent resive you have, Michael Pittman, And

1887
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: they had one receiver in that room right and now,

1888
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: and everybody, and Chris Ballard was critiqued pretty heavily on that.

1889
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, the fame us every time I listened to

1890
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: or read Bowen, it's about the receiving room, Frickin' Bowen.

1891
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 1: That's right, and that also has been addressed. And they

1892
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:16,839
Speaker 1: have a good receiving room, a good one with multiple weapons.

1893
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,960
Speaker 1: We feel like they have two deep ball threats now,

1894
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: whether or not they have anybody to get them that

1895
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 1: remains to be seen, and whether or not Ady Mitchell

1896
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: finally shows any consistency at all, or is he simply

1897
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: drew adad that remains to be seen as well. But

1898
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, you like Josh Downs, you like Tyler Warren

1899
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 1: over the middle obviously is going to be a weapon

1900
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 1: for them, and you know they might have again some

1901
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 1: backs out of the backfield to go alongside or with

1902
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:50,599
Speaker 1: to compliment Jonathan Taylor that can catch the football. They're

1903
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 1: good in the trenches. I think on the offensive line

1904
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 1: you can never have too many guys. But you feel

1905
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,800
Speaker 1: pretty good about Bernard Ryman. I feel obviously good about

1906
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson Bordolini. I think there's probably gonna be some

1907
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,679
Speaker 1: learning curves and some up and down at the center position,

1908
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: but for the most part, you feel pretty good about it.

1909
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 1: Brayden Smith's back on the right side.

1910
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 2: Can we throw in offensive linemen in your sunglasses and

1911
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 2: phone treasers?

1912
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I've always said, O line and dbs right,

1913
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: phone chargers and sell chargers and sunglasses. You can never

1914
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: have too many. But they've got a decent offensive line

1915
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: and then clearly defensive line and pass rush. He has

1916
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: now He's taken a ton of turns on the wheel

1917
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: with this, but it looks like Leatu Latsu's going to

1918
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: be a player quit he pays a solid piece and

1919
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: then DeForest Buckner. So credit to the Colts. They have

1920
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 1: a good roster, and they have a roster when you

1921
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: look at their schedule, that may well get them to

1922
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: compete with most games and maybe Daniel Jones becomes dare

1923
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:05,240
Speaker 1: I say it a game manager? I know that's boring,

1924
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: but if it's a game manager that wins you games,

1925
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: and if you just keep eking out wins, then people

1926
01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: here are going to go for it and maybe before

1927
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: you know it, it's like, oh my gosh, Colts are

1928
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 1: seven and three. They're interesting because the roster allows them

1929
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 1: to be that. Now, Eddie, you though, raised a point

1930
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 1: of what you think this season could be labeled towards,

1931
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 1: which is not what people want to hear, but there

1932
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: might be some reality to it.

1933
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 2: So you know how when it's fall, it's like pumpkin

1934
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:38,959
Speaker 2: spice and cinnamon season and sweater season.

1935
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 1: The pumpkin spice season starts in early August.

1936
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 2: And then winter it's cuffing season, and things was the

1937
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 2: last one cuffing season. What's that cuffing seasoning season? Yes,

1938
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 2: you can't call it, said a massachist. What is cuffing season?

1939
01:42:53,080 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to dive too much. What's going on

1940
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 2: with the cuffing season? Can we get back to that?

1941
01:42:58,040 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 2: I'd like to know about this. What is comm season?

1942
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 2: You A'll have to look it up on your own accord.

1943
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 2: But now it's job saving season. That's what this entire

1944
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,600
Speaker 2: year is for the Indianapolis Colts. Like it starts with

1945
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson and he's already failed. He's like he's lost

1946
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 2: his job and the only way he's gonna get it

1947
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 2: back is if Daniel Jones is you know, as the

1948
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 2: term that I like to use, Jake dogwater, or he

1949
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 2: gets hurt, Like those are the only two ways that

1950
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 2: Richardson gets back on the football field. That's box one,

1951
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 2: Box two and three. Chane Stikeen, Chris Ballard. They're at

1952
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 2: the point now, and you and I have talked about

1953
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 2: this off air, Jake, where they have to win to

1954
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 2: save their jobs. And if they were in that position,

1955
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know if you felt like

1956
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 2: because we didn't get to fully dive into it, if

1957
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 2: their jaws were safe and not on the line, it

1958
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 2: would one hundred percent be Anthony Richardson out there on

1959
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 2: the first week of the season.

1960
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:55,680
Speaker 1: That's fair. What I've said about the situation with Richardson

1961
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 1: and this quote today from Stike in that I want

1962
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: to jake the reason why Anthony Richardson is not playing

1963
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: in the Saturday preseason finale in Cincinnati, Shane Stack can

1964
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: say quote he didn't want to risk Richardson, risk him

1965
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: getting hurt. Yep. The thing about Richardson to me is

1966
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 1: this I felt all along like to your point, Eddie,

1967
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of this is changed. Let's be real here, Okay,

1968
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna be real, and I mean this with the

1969
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 1: total amount of respect it is, dude, due towards all

1970
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: people involved with what I'm about to say, None of

1971
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: this is meant as a negative about any person whatsoever.

1972
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 1: But the reality, if we're being honest with ourselves, the

1973
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 1: reality is no, and I think probably even the parties

1974
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:10,200
Speaker 1: involved that I'm about to mention. But no one knows

1975
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: how the direction, the guidance, the patience of the franchise

1976
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 1: changes when you have the change from Jim Irsay to

1977
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: Carli Ers Gordon. No one knows. If Jim Mersay was

1978
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 1: still the owner and final voice of the Indianapolis Colts,

1979
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:35,839
Speaker 1: and he clearly is a believer and supporter of Chris Ballard,

1980
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:41,120
Speaker 1: would he have said to Chris Ballard, you know what, Chris,

1981
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,719
Speaker 1: I hired you to make a decision about the quarterback position,

1982
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: amongst others. At the time he was hired, of course,

1983
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 1: the position was already taken care of because of Andrew Lucke.

1984
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 1: But but I retained you, and I brought you in

1985
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: from one year to the next because I believe in

1986
01:45:56,280 --> 01:46:04,640
Speaker 1: your blueprint ideas, and in that capacity, we have decided

1987
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: that or I have decided that I'm going to let

1988
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: you ride this out and give you every resource and

1989
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 1: amount of time necessary to let Anthony Richardson grow to

1990
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:20,679
Speaker 1: pay off your selection in selecting the most important position

1991
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: in professional sports. And so that changes now, and we

1992
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:39,880
Speaker 1: know that changes now, and therefore we don't know the timeline.

1993
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 1: We don't know whether or not Shane Steiken said, hey, look,

1994
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: I got to win. You know, he doesn't know. I

1995
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not.

1996
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:53,640
Speaker 2: He I'm sure he knows in somewhat regard that you

1997
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 2: have a new owner. So you have to I mean,

1998
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,360
Speaker 2: you got to win. I get that his job is

1999
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 2: to coach them to wins.

2000
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: Understood, But what I'm saying is, Eddie, I don't know

2001
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: that anybody totally knows or exactly how the team now

2002
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:13,479
Speaker 1: is going to be operated managed, you know what I mean.

2003
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's the variable that did the timeline change

2004
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: with the passing of Jim Irsay? And I know that

2005
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,519
Speaker 1: that's uncomfortable to say, and I know that it seems

2006
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 1: unfair to say, but did the timeline change with the

2007
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:36,520
Speaker 1: passing of Jim Mersay? And did that change the acceleration

2008
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 1: or the deceleration of the Richardson experiment and et cetera,

2009
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: et cetera. I don't know that we know the answer

2010
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:45,880
Speaker 1: to that. But that's one of the things I had

2011
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: always felt like Shane Steichen needed to go with the

2012
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: quarterback that helped him win now and Ballard had the

2013
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 1: longer leash to go with the quarterback that he could

2014
01:47:55,800 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: develop over the course of time, and that that may

2015
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 1: be different now. We just don't know. By the way,

2016
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 1: do you happen to have the breaking news Saturday? Redo

2017
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 1: the clock here a little bit, Eddie.

2018
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,360
Speaker 2: You can try your best. It'll be tight either way,

2019
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 2: because we've got Mike NY's like at two thirty as well.

2020
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so why don't we do this? Stephanie White said

2021
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 1: she'd be ready in just about five minutes, take a

2022
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 1: quick break, come back and do it that way. Okay,

2023
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,320
Speaker 1: all right, Stephanie White, the head coach of the Fever,

2024
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 1: Big news with Kaitlin Clark. We'll get to it next.

2025
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 1: Stephanie White is the head coach of the Indiana Fever,

2026
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: is kind enough to join us in what has been

2027
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 1: a very busy week. It's interesting because here we thought,

2028
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:43,760
Speaker 1: coach that because the schedule open up a little bit,

2029
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe that meant that things would kind of slow down

2030
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,320
Speaker 1: for you guys, and you could kind of reset for

2031
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 1: your final nine games, three of those nine coming against Minnesota.

2032
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:55,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. But obviously, and

2033
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: I hate to say it this way, but I would

2034
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: imagine you're in the boardroom a lot, just kind of

2035
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 1: assessing your roster in general in terms of availability and

2036
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 1: once again dealing with injury. So let's begin with I

2037
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:09,320
Speaker 1: don't think that we've talked to you since we knew

2038
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 1: for certain now that Sophie Cunningham would be out for

2039
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I know that you guys

2040
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: have made changes to your roster. Again, take me first

2041
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 1: and foremost over how that impacts the way that you

2042
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 1: anticipate playing down the stretch.

2043
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it certainly impacts in a number of ways.

2044
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 7: Our primary ball handlers are all off floor right now,

2045
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 7: and Sophie was a secondary ball handler for us, So,

2046
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,559
Speaker 7: you know, with the addition of Odyssey Simms and her

2047
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 7: ability to come in and make an impact, you know,

2048
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 7: for us right away, we had to make another change

2049
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 7: and bring in Shape Petty. We needed an experience point guard,

2050
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 7: and Kyra Lambert was amazing for us, and she's a

2051
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 7: good young guard who I think has a future in

2052
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,559
Speaker 7: this league. But Shaye Petty's an experienced guard, and without

2053
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,479
Speaker 7: having Sophie on the floor to be a secondary ball handler,

2054
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 7: we felt like we had to make that move. And

2055
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 7: sha he has been in practice now for a couple

2056
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:05,560
Speaker 7: of days and so it's nice to get her acclimated.

2057
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 7: But most importantly, we just have to scale back. We've

2058
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,880
Speaker 7: got to simplify, We've got to we've got to take

2059
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:14,560
Speaker 7: some things back to to what is the most advantageous

2060
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 7: for us offensively and defensively with the current lineup and

2061
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 7: personnel that we have.

2062
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: That lineup in personnel right now, obviously in terms of

2063
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,760
Speaker 1: roster names, includes Caitlin Clark. The injury yesterday that we

2064
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 1: found out about a bone bruise in the ankle, I believe,

2065
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:34,719
Speaker 1: and then you have the separate injury of the groin.

2066
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 1: I know, Coach that you're not the team doctor. But

2067
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,840
Speaker 1: where do things stand as of right now? And is

2068
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:43,600
Speaker 1: it possible that one of these injuries is related to

2069
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: over compensation from the other?

2070
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know about overcompensation. You know where we

2071
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 7: stand right now? Is it Caitlyn still doing everything she

2072
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 7: can to position herself to get back on the court.

2073
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 7: You know, there there has not been a timeline because

2074
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 7: her health and wellness has been the most important thing

2075
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:02,719
Speaker 7: and we want to make sure that she's one hundred

2076
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 7: percent ready to go when she does get back on

2077
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 7: the court. You know, certainly the progress that she was

2078
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 7: making slowed a little bit, but at the same time,

2079
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 7: she's in the gym every day and and they're working

2080
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 7: from a rehab standpoint and from a strength and endurance standpoint,

2081
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 7: and from a skill set standpoint to position herself to

2082
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 7: come back and play.

2083
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 1: Is there any possibility, Well, first off, coach, do you

2084
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 1: think there's any possibility that she does not play the

2085
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 1: regular season?

2086
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean I think that that's you know,

2087
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:36,759
Speaker 7: it's tough to speculate right now because he's doing everything

2088
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 7: that she can to position herself to play. So I

2089
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 7: don't know about that. The goal is to get her

2090
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 7: back and the.

2091
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Goal is for her to be on the floor, and

2092
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 1: that timeline does or does not get impacted by the

2093
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: availability of the rest of roster. In other words, the

2094
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:54,439
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom of gosh, as players keep getting injured, if

2095
01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: they're falling further back, are they more protective than of

2096
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark? Does that mindset even makes sense at all?

2097
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 7: I guess if you're on the outside looking in, it

2098
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 7: probably makes sense. But for us, you know, Caitlin wants

2099
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 7: to get on the floor to be a basketball player

2100
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 7: again instead of somebody who's rehabbing from injury. And these

2101
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 7: players who have positioned ourselves to still be you know,

2102
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 7: six in the standings and in the playoff hunt, deserve

2103
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 7: the opportunity to continue to fight for that. You know,

2104
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:25,120
Speaker 7: I think we've been and we've shown that We're a flexible,

2105
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:28,719
Speaker 7: resilient group that's found ways to put ourselves in position

2106
01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:31,599
Speaker 7: to win ball games. And this is a group who

2107
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 7: takes a lot of pride in that, and they want

2108
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 7: to go out there and they want to compete. They

2109
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 7: want to be in the playoffs, and we're going to

2110
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 7: fight like hell every single day to position ourselves for that.

2111
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, Stephanie White is our guest, the

2112
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 1: head coach of the Indiana Fever. It's funny, Stephanie, because

2113
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 1: you're having a good year, you know. Realistically, I mean,

2114
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:53,240
Speaker 1: with all of the things that have gone on, I

2115
01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:55,639
Speaker 1: think where you guys are is still to a lot

2116
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:59,120
Speaker 1: of the league a very enviable position. But at the

2117
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 1: same time, it just seems like every time you turn around,

2118
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:05,600
Speaker 1: there's a new challenge. Has this been as challenging a

2119
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 1: year from a coaching standpoint as you've had?

2120
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 7: It has been. It absolutely has been. And you know,

2121
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 7: even if you're just talking from injury standpoint. Now, I've

2122
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 7: seen a number of these injuries throughout the course of

2123
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 7: my coaching career. I've never seen them at the same time,

2124
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 7: and I've never seen them, particularly in the point guard position,

2125
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 7: at the same position. You know we have we have

2126
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 7: three point guards on our team, none of which are

2127
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:31,639
Speaker 7: on the floor right now, and then our backup point guard,

2128
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 7: who was Sophie not on not on the floor right now.

2129
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 7: And you think about initial starting roster and you look

2130
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 7: at Sid and See and soph and then even thinking

2131
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:44,719
Speaker 7: about the Wanta Bonner, I mean for four rotation players.

2132
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 7: Aery McDonald positions herself to be a starter on our team,

2133
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 7: five players who would have been in the rotation who

2134
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 7: aren't even at this point participating. And so I do

2135
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 7: think that that it has been challenging. I am incredibly

2136
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 7: thankful for this group that we have because no matter what,

2137
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 7: they're ready to battle, and we've had to get creative

2138
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 7: as coaches. We've had to really sometimes take a step

2139
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 7: back and look at Okay, yes we'd like to do that,

2140
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 7: but is that realistic with the current situation that we're in.

2141
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:16,200
Speaker 7: We've had to work really hard. And I give these

2142
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 7: players who have come in on replacement contracts hardship contracts

2143
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 7: a lot of credit because they've come in at the

2144
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 7: toughest position in the game and they've had to learn

2145
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 7: on the fly. I think Odessey did a great job

2146
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:29,680
Speaker 7: for us and has done a great job for Shay

2147
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 7: Petti is a veteran in our league and she will

2148
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:35,040
Speaker 7: as well, you know, And hopefully after we play a

2149
01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 7: game without Sophie, we'll be able to add a third

2150
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 7: hardship player and put ourselves in position to continue to

2151
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 7: stay in the fight. And at the end of the day,

2152
01:54:42,680 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 7: I'm proud of this group and their resilience and their

2153
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 7: toughness and their grit that we can still say that

2154
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:49,480
Speaker 7: we are positioning ourselves to stay in the fight for

2155
01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 7: the playoffs.

2156
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 1: No, it's amazing when you think about the availability of

2157
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: players signed to a hardship contract in the final quarter

2158
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 1: of the season, and I was thinking about this and

2159
01:55:01,160 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 1: I made this point. I want you to tell me

2160
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 1: if it's even in the ballpark of accurate. Coach Stephanie

2161
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 1: White is our guest. The fact that right now what

2162
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:13,720
Speaker 1: you have in the WNBA is virtually every player in

2163
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: the WNBA has never known in their lifetime anything other

2164
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 1: than the WNBA's existence, and so therefore they have had

2165
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 1: the ultimate level of women's basketball to aspire towards reaching.

2166
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:28,640
Speaker 1: But the number of teams as such that now it's

2167
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 1: not like you have thirty five teams. So, in other words,

2168
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 1: the quality of player that is on the fringe of

2169
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:38,760
Speaker 1: the league has to be exponentially higher than the quality

2170
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: of player that would have been available, say, twenty years ago.

2171
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 1: Is that a fair statement.

2172
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 7: It absolutely is. We talk about the depth of players

2173
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:51,120
Speaker 7: and even the depth of teams in the league top

2174
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:53,480
Speaker 7: to bottom. This year, you can see it as the

2175
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,600
Speaker 7: standings are jumbled and there's not a lot of separation

2176
01:55:57,200 --> 01:56:01,000
Speaker 7: outside of Minnesota right now amongst everybody else. At the

2177
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 7: talent level is as good and as deep as it's

2178
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 7: ever been. There are players who are not on teams

2179
01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 7: right now who deserve to be on teams, and so

2180
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,520
Speaker 7: finding the right one that fits where you are and

2181
01:56:10,560 --> 01:56:13,040
Speaker 7: the right one that fits your your culture. And you know,

2182
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 7: one of the reasons that we continue to talk about

2183
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 7: roster expansion and roster size, so that you're not coming

2184
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 7: in and bringing in a player who hasn't been on

2185
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 7: a roster, who hasn't been in your system right and

2186
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 7: developing in your system and gone through Now it's like

2187
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 7: we're bringing players in who have to learn a semblance

2188
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 7: of your system. For us, we scale it way back

2189
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 7: and and and come out and make plays and there

2190
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:38,840
Speaker 7: are players who are hungry. There are players who are

2191
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 7: ready and willing and able, and and we're fortunate that

2192
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:44,600
Speaker 7: we've been able to get a couple of them.

2193
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:45,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

2194
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:48,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Minnesota tomorrow night for the Fever. Of course,

2195
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: this is the first of three remaining games against the Links.

2196
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:53,760
Speaker 1: They have an injury issue of their own, and the

2197
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:56,640
Speaker 1: fact that I believe the FISA Collier has been now

2198
01:56:56,720 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 1: listed as questionable. I think they've played to night as well.

2199
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: But does that impact it all kind of the way

2200
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: you scout and game plan for them.

2201
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 6: It does.

2202
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 7: I mean, certainly they look different with Fee on the

2203
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 7: floor than they do without her. They've they've they've managed,

2204
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 7: and they've been exceptional in her injuries since her injury.

2205
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:19,480
Speaker 7: But at the same time, they do a lot different

2206
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 7: of different things when she is on the floor. So

2207
01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 7: now her going from you know, out to doubtful to questionable,

2208
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 7: you've got to prepare for her to play and you've

2209
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:30,480
Speaker 7: got to prepare for the actions that they run with

2210
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 7: her on the floor. In particular, there's a couple of

2211
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 7: things that there are a lot of things that they

2212
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:37,120
Speaker 7: do with Kamda McBride and with the FISA. You know,

2213
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:41,400
Speaker 7: in action together. You got to prepare for the versatility

2214
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 7: that she brings to the floor. And so from a

2215
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 7: preparation standpoint, you prepare as if she's playing.

2216
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:49,080
Speaker 1: What musical artists do we go with on your next appearance?

2217
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, what about Steve Miller band?

2218
01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:57,520
Speaker 1: Listen? Do you remember and I'm I mean we're we're

2219
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: essentially of the same high school era, off by a

2220
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 1: few years. But do you remember in high school what

2221
01:58:01,600 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: a big deal, like in the summertime the Steve Miller

2222
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:05,160
Speaker 1: band concert was at Deer Creek.

2223
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 7: They were a huge deal.

2224
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:09,640
Speaker 1: It was huge. And funny thing is we all thought,

2225
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 1: like I remember the first time going like, I had

2226
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: no idea that what I was listening to was music

2227
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:16,720
Speaker 1: that already was like fifteen years old.

2228
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 7: Right right exactly, But it was great at that time.

2229
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 1: What's that said?

2230
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:22,920
Speaker 7: It was hip to us at the time.

2231
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: We thought it was new totally all right, Steve Miller Band.

2232
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 1: It is my favorite song is swing Town by the

2233
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,080
Speaker 1: Way from Steve Miller. And then and Eddie raised this

2234
01:58:31,200 --> 01:58:34,560
Speaker 1: point Coach with Hoody and the Blowfish that we played today.

2235
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to lie to you in bringing

2236
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:38,960
Speaker 1: you onto the program virtually every HOODI song that we

2237
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:41,280
Speaker 1: would have brought you into actually sounded like it was

2238
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 1: going to be kind of creepy, and so I told

2239
01:58:43,080 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 1: him to go with time just because we had to

2240
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 1: move the time around a few times. And I don't

2241
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:46,600
Speaker 1: know which.

2242
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 7: I think that's a good one. I think it's appropriate,

2243
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 7: it was safe, right.

2244
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite Steve Miller band song? By chance?

2245
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 7: You know, I don't have a favorite. I like all

2246
01:58:57,840 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 7: Steve Miller band. In fact, I might have to play

2247
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 7: in Steve Miller right now. I don't know where that

2248
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 7: came from.

2249
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: The Steve Miller Band greatest this this is awesome. It's awesome.

2250
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:06,800
Speaker 7: It is awesome.

2251
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the intro of the Swing Town that is correct. Yeah,

2252
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 1: although they had one, they had one. He had one

2253
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: song that was like some sort of love ballad that

2254
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:15,920
Speaker 1: like that was the time to use the restroom. But

2255
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the concert was awesome for sure. All Right,

2256
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 1: Fever and Minnesota Lynks tomorrow night, Coach. I appreciate the

2257
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:23,800
Speaker 1: time as always. I know it's a very very busy

2258
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 1: time for you, and we certainly wish you the best

2259
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 1: of luck tomorrow night.

2260
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:28,640
Speaker 7: Thanks, Jake, appreciate it.

2261
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 1: It's Stephanie White, the head coach of the Indiana Fever,

2262
01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:34,480
Speaker 1: and Eddie I already have forgotten, so I apologize. Did

2263
01:59:34,480 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 1: you say that we are just bringing on Mike or

2264
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:39,120
Speaker 1: are we going to take a quick recess before I

2265
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 1: will give Mike a call? Now, okay, Mikeniel, do not

2266
01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:44,760
Speaker 1: take a recess. The beat writer for the Bloomington Herald

2267
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:48,680
Speaker 1: Times for Indiana interesting points from Stephanie, in particular about

2268
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:51,760
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. I think it's interesting that when she said

2269
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:53,560
Speaker 1: this has been as tough a year as she's had

2270
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:58,040
Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint. And I also am curious when

2271
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark does return, assuming that that happens this season.

2272
02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: And I think that we thought perhaps tomorrow night would

2273
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:07,400
Speaker 1: be that night, and it is yet to arrive. But

2274
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:11,320
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm curious about is when

2275
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is on the floor, they're pacing is such

2276
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 1: the pace in which they want to play. It's gonna

2277
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,880
Speaker 1: take Caitlin Clark time to get back to that. But

2278
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:23,880
Speaker 1: once she's back into that rhythm, you know what does

2279
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:29,200
Speaker 1: that mean? Just in terms of as well the pacing

2280
02:00:29,280 --> 02:00:33,080
Speaker 1: with which the Fever the rest of the roster. You know,

2281
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:34,760
Speaker 1: how long does it take them to get used to

2282
02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: that up tempo because when she's on the floor, the

2283
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 1: tempo is invariably and inevitably going to be faster. And

2284
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: in the remaining nine games, like I mentioned, three of them,

2285
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:46,640
Speaker 1: one third of which against Minnesota, the best team in

2286
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:49,240
Speaker 1: the league, but that is the team that they defeated

2287
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:55,840
Speaker 1: in the in season tournament. So challenges down the stretch. Hey, Jake,

2288
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:57,920
Speaker 1: this on the text line. All Indiana players are made

2289
02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 1: of glass, pro and college. It it feels like it's

2290
02:01:01,320 --> 02:01:03,320
Speaker 1: been a tough stretch.

2291
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:06,240
Speaker 2: Well, WNBA and General Jake. They have suffered a ton

2292
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,120
Speaker 2: of injuries league wide. It's not just here with the

2293
02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:10,480
Speaker 2: fever like the Liberty have had injuries obviously if he's

2294
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,280
Speaker 2: calling you with Minnesota has had like, it's not just

2295
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 2: here like there are plenty of teams dealing with this

2296
02:01:15,480 --> 02:01:18,160
Speaker 2: this year. For some reason, I never thought I would

2297
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:18,960
Speaker 2: see this day.

2298
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I never thought I would see this day, especially in

2299
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:25,320
Speaker 1: the last twenty to twenty five years. If you were

2300
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:28,080
Speaker 1: to go back and get in your DeLorean and go

2301
02:01:28,200 --> 02:01:30,240
Speaker 1: eighty eight miles an hour and go back to about

2302
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:36,360
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five nineteen, well, eighty five, probably people would

2303
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:40,920
Speaker 1: have believed you, but certainly two thousand and five, I

2304
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,160
Speaker 1: never thought I'd see the day where Indiana football was

2305
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 1: a major talking point on a national scale in the

2306
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts were not. But that's kind of where we are.

2307
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Mike Nislick is the beat writer for Indiana Athletics for

2308
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the Bloomington Herald Times. He joins us now on the

2309
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 1: always busy as you can tell and available to be

2310
02:01:57,680 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: sponsored guest line And Mike, did you really realistically ever

2311
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:06,240
Speaker 1: imagine that the time would come were some of the

2312
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:11,080
Speaker 1: biggest names in college football from a prognostication standpoint in

2313
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:13,680
Speaker 1: the epicenter and the heartland of football in the big

2314
02:02:13,720 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 1: time places like SEC Country would consistently be talking about

2315
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:21,120
Speaker 1: Indiana as the trendsetter in terms of scheduling. I mean,

2316
02:02:21,240 --> 02:02:23,240
Speaker 1: what exactly world are we living in?

2317
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, I do think that you know, it

2318
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 9: speaks to the separation of the Big Ten and the

2319
02:02:30,600 --> 02:02:34,240
Speaker 9: SEC from the rest of the pack. And I think

2320
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 9: the money that's flowing into those two conferences have made

2321
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:45,760
Speaker 9: it feasible for I think, you know, most of the

2322
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:48,480
Speaker 9: teams in the conference to sort of make a run

2323
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:51,520
Speaker 9: and invest in football. I mean, you know, it's just

2324
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 9: I think it speaks to it's partly because of that,

2325
02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:57,520
Speaker 9: Like I mean, it matters, and I think you're seeing

2326
02:02:57,520 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 9: haves and have nots, and Indiana has secered of a

2327
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 9: history as it has or lack of a history that

2328
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:06,720
Speaker 9: has maybe is better word for it. In football. With

2329
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:09,560
Speaker 9: the current climate and how the Big Ten is sort

2330
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 9: of now, you know, one of two and kind of

2331
02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 9: standing on top alone with the SEC, it makes a difference.

2332
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, It's interesting, Mike and I made this point

2333
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:22,920
Speaker 1: when it happened, but during Big Ten media days, Kurt

2334
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Signetti stood up, and that was when he was talking

2335
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:27,080
Speaker 1: about the schedule, and he basically said, we're going to

2336
02:03:27,160 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 1: go with an SEC you know, strategy in terms of

2337
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 1: scheduling and get out of playing like the other power fives.

2338
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:37,760
Speaker 1: And at the time that Signetti said that, it wasn't

2339
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:40,760
Speaker 1: long after that that other coaches in the Big Ten

2340
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 1: stepped forward and essentially said what he said. And I

2341
02:03:45,320 --> 02:03:49,960
Speaker 1: thought to myself, Signetti already has kind of established himself

2342
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:52,640
Speaker 1: as one of these guys that's a spokesperson amongst Big

2343
02:03:52,680 --> 02:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Ten coaches. And it was just a year ago when

2344
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 1: he was creating headlines because people were saying, who is

2345
02:03:57,800 --> 02:04:01,040
Speaker 1: this guy and the things that he said? Does that

2346
02:04:01,320 --> 02:04:04,160
Speaker 1: speak to what one year can do in terms of

2347
02:04:04,240 --> 02:04:06,560
Speaker 1: the respect level that Kurt Signetti has gotten.

2348
02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:10,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.

2349
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 9: I mean because this is the scheduling stuff predated him too.

2350
02:04:13,200 --> 02:04:15,560
Speaker 9: I mean you got to remember, you know, Dolson was

2351
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:17,760
Speaker 9: the one that obviously you know, got out of that

2352
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 9: Louisville series, Like this is sort of what they were

2353
02:04:21,240 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 9: trying to set up before he even got there. And

2354
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 9: you know he's kind of taken it on and defended

2355
02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:27,840
Speaker 9: it obviously. You know, now it's his program and he

2356
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,440
Speaker 9: has to say, I mean, those decisions now are made

2357
02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:33,720
Speaker 9: in a vacuum. You know, Scott consults Signetti and all

2358
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:36,240
Speaker 9: those scheduling decisions. But he's going to defend his program.

2359
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 9: And obviously he's he's sort of the yeah, look he's

2360
02:04:39,720 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 9: the smokes vers and he's the face he doesn't like,

2361
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 9: you know, the assistant coach is talking. He wants to

2362
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 9: sort of have all the control that. You know, it

2363
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:48,760
Speaker 9: speaks to the we talked about hiring a GM. He's like,

2364
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 9: why would I hire a GM. I'm the GM, I'm

2365
02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 9: the coach. Like he has his handprints on everything, and

2366
02:04:54,560 --> 02:04:57,800
Speaker 9: he's going to stand up for his program and you know,

2367
02:04:57,920 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 9: the voice, and he's going to fund it, and so

2368
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,000
Speaker 9: you know, these scheduling moves, it's just sort of fascinating,

2369
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:07,080
Speaker 9: like you know, it's all because of the current system

2370
02:05:07,080 --> 02:05:10,440
Speaker 9: that they're making any scheduling moves, Like there's no reward

2371
02:05:10,560 --> 02:05:12,640
Speaker 9: for playing those harder games right now, the way the

2372
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:15,760
Speaker 9: playoff system is set up, and having nine conference games

2373
02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:18,240
Speaker 9: when the other conferences don't. And I do think he

2374
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 9: has I mean, he has some valid point, He has

2375
02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 9: valid points behind his arguments. Look, this is like something

2376
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:26,440
Speaker 9: where he's going on on a ledge here, Like they

2377
02:05:26,440 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 9: play non conference games the SEC doesn't. They have an

2378
02:05:29,160 --> 02:05:32,880
Speaker 9: extra powerful opponent already, they don't necessarily need to add

2379
02:05:33,240 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 9: in the non conference portion of their schedule. And hey, look,

2380
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:40,720
Speaker 9: the playoff system is set up in a way where

2381
02:05:40,840 --> 02:05:43,120
Speaker 9: you know, if you lose early, it's really hurts you

2382
02:05:43,200 --> 02:05:45,520
Speaker 9: down the line, and you need those wins more than

2383
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 9: anything else. So I mean, they tweak the metrics now

2384
02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 9: a little bit, but still it's not going to really

2385
02:05:50,480 --> 02:05:53,960
Speaker 9: necessarily bother Indiana. It's the changes will come if they

2386
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:56,760
Speaker 9: change the format. But he's he has a defendable position,

2387
02:05:56,800 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 9: and he's going to be outspoken about it. That's just

2388
02:05:58,440 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 9: the way he is.

2389
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 1: What things, Mike, have you noticed? You know, a year ago,

2390
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:06,360
Speaker 1: we were probably all a little bit wide eyed in

2391
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 1: terms of curiosity of what Kurt Signetti brought to the

2392
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:14,720
Speaker 1: Indiana program and how they were going to play. What things?

2393
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Now that we have a baseline of who he is

2394
02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and what can be expected, what if anything to you

2395
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:25,800
Speaker 1: looks different than a year ago, whether it be names, schemes,

2396
02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:26,560
Speaker 1: et cetera.

2397
02:06:28,520 --> 02:06:32,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, obviously you know the the you're gonna

2398
02:06:32,440 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 9: look different just because you're still relying on upwards of

2399
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:39,800
Speaker 9: fifteen to twenty transfers and in prominent positions, and one

2400
02:06:39,800 --> 02:06:43,560
Speaker 9: of those is your quarterback. So you're still at the

2401
02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 9: point where you know, you're younger guys that have come

2402
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 9: up and you kind of know those faces and you've

2403
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 9: seen him practice for a couple of years. Oh that

2404
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:52,880
Speaker 9: guy's going to be good. Oh you know that, Like,

2405
02:06:53,120 --> 02:06:55,880
Speaker 9: there's still those you know, when you're lying on transfers.

2406
02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:57,800
Speaker 9: You know, they had an extraordinary I think we talked

2407
02:06:57,800 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 9: about this last time. He had an extraordinary hid right

2408
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:02,280
Speaker 9: the train Reportal last year. A lot of that had

2409
02:07:02,320 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 9: to do with you know, the James Masson guys, but

2410
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 9: even the Nodge and Jus Ellison, the guy that you know,

2411
02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:11,280
Speaker 9: the Wake Forest running back, all those slot receivers, those

2412
02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:13,680
Speaker 9: were guys that were from JMU. So I mean he

2413
02:07:13,680 --> 02:07:14,880
Speaker 9: he hit on all of them. He hit on the

2414
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:19,400
Speaker 9: quarterback of the first work Kenny have that high percentage again,

2415
02:07:19,520 --> 02:07:21,720
Speaker 9: you know, on the defensive line, there's there's a ton

2416
02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:24,560
Speaker 9: of transfers and that was sort of the strength of

2417
02:07:24,600 --> 02:07:28,840
Speaker 9: this team last year, and so it's hard to do right, Like,

2418
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 9: you know, bring in all these guys from other programs,

2419
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 9: some of them only have a couple of months getting acclimated.

2420
02:07:35,480 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 9: Is he going to have that high percentage that year?

2421
02:07:37,320 --> 02:07:40,240
Speaker 9: I think this year, you know, there's less group of

2422
02:07:40,280 --> 02:07:43,040
Speaker 9: five guys. You know, it's more powerful talent, So that

2423
02:07:43,120 --> 02:07:45,840
Speaker 9: kind of maybe lessens the question marks. But it's still

2424
02:07:46,240 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 9: like if you hit on eighty to ninety percent of

2425
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:50,360
Speaker 9: the transfer guys that you bring in, and you're bringing

2426
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,879
Speaker 9: in a high number, that sets you up for success.

2427
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:56,040
Speaker 9: And I think that's sort of like, you know, look,

2428
02:07:56,080 --> 02:07:58,680
Speaker 9: this team gets the ten wins if that that happens, right,

2429
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:01,080
Speaker 9: If he didn't hit right in the quarterback or does

2430
02:08:01,080 --> 02:08:03,880
Speaker 9: it the defensive line sort of takes a step back,

2431
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:06,760
Speaker 9: it's going to be that much more difficult. But I mean,

2432
02:08:06,880 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 9: he's just has that sort of reputation, you know, that's

2433
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 9: part of him, a self professed film guy. That's where

2434
02:08:12,840 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 9: this kind of happened. That's how he finds that talent,

2435
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:18,120
Speaker 9: That's how he's confident in kind of his evaluation process.

2436
02:08:18,160 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 9: And so that's I think where you kind of look like, Man,

2437
02:08:20,560 --> 02:08:23,280
Speaker 9: if they have that sort of success rate, this team's

2438
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:24,720
Speaker 9: going to be pretty good. But I still think there's

2439
02:08:24,800 --> 02:08:27,280
Speaker 9: open questions just because it's really hard to do. You know,

2440
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 9: if it was that easy, every team would be really good,

2441
02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:31,880
Speaker 9: right if they're just bringing in ten guys that you

2442
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 9: know immediately started were contributors.

2443
02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: But it's not, you know, when you look at the

2444
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:39,560
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Mike Nazek as our guest from the Bloomington

2445
02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:43,560
Speaker 1: Herald Times, talking about Indiana football, Curtis work was really

2446
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: really good last year. That goes without saying. I think

2447
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:49,560
Speaker 1: probably even better than people anticipated in the way that

2448
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:53,240
Speaker 1: he mastered that offense for Kurt Signetti. Is it possible

2449
02:08:53,920 --> 02:08:57,960
Speaker 1: that Fernando Mendoza actually elevates that position because he has

2450
02:08:58,000 --> 02:09:01,200
Speaker 1: that much promise as well.

2451
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's I think it's a high bar,

2452
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:06,040
Speaker 9: and I think that's what fans sort of undercut with Curtis.

2453
02:09:06,160 --> 02:09:08,200
Speaker 9: He did it on one leg, which is frankly amazing,

2454
02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:10,360
Speaker 9: but like you know, there haven't been that many three

2455
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 9: thousand yard passing seasons. He's had a single season touchdown record. Like,

2456
02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 9: the bar is pretty high for for Fernando to to

2457
02:09:18,040 --> 02:09:20,360
Speaker 9: kind of reach, but you know, the chalient's there, and

2458
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:22,680
Speaker 9: that's what you know, everybody's kind of said about, you know,

2459
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 9: his arm and him being kind of an nfl over

2460
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:30,240
Speaker 9: type of prospect with like his tool set, but you know,

2461
02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 9: he doesn't have five years of experience in their bolt.

2462
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:34,720
Speaker 9: You know, Curtis work I think at double the amount

2463
02:09:34,720 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 9: of games started, and so like that's where he sort

2464
02:09:37,080 --> 02:09:39,320
Speaker 9: of saying, can he you know, the non conference is

2465
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 9: very easy, but once you hit the big ten, can

2466
02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 9: he hit the ground running in the way Curtis Worke

2467
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 9: did like UCLA, Like there were no sort of hesitation.

2468
02:09:47,040 --> 02:09:49,520
Speaker 9: He was great and that week two and and just

2469
02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:51,840
Speaker 9: sort of lifted off from there. You know, that's not

2470
02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:55,000
Speaker 9: that's hard to do, especially, you know, like I said,

2471
02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:57,400
Speaker 9: he had so much more experience and so much terms of

2472
02:09:57,440 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 9: practice reps, in terms of game reps. And I'm not

2473
02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:04,200
Speaker 9: saying Fernando is not capable. I certainly think he is,

2474
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:07,120
Speaker 9: and he has an arm town. It's just whether, like

2475
02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:10,240
Speaker 9: you said, is it going to be all there fully formed?

2476
02:10:10,640 --> 02:10:13,000
Speaker 9: Not week one, because like I said, as the competition

2477
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:17,240
Speaker 9: gets tougher and they do start out, you know, they

2478
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:20,760
Speaker 9: had sort of an on ramp last year in terms

2479
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:25,240
Speaker 9: of like UCLA, Maryland, Northwestern until they got that Nebraska game.

2480
02:10:25,560 --> 02:10:28,520
Speaker 9: This year it's Illinois, Iowa, Oregon and two of those

2481
02:10:28,520 --> 02:10:31,720
Speaker 9: on the road, a lot more difficult than Curtis had.

2482
02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 9: I mean, to be fair, what.

2483
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:36,400
Speaker 1: About the weapons from the receiving standpoint and one of

2484
02:10:36,400 --> 02:10:38,000
Speaker 1: the guys and I know that when I say this,

2485
02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:40,600
Speaker 1: people are going to go. He's only asking that because

2486
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:43,120
Speaker 1: the guy started at Clemson. That's not the case. But EJ. Williams,

2487
02:10:43,160 --> 02:10:46,400
Speaker 1: for example, at the receiver spot, it was a guy

2488
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: that came in. He's probably the most highly talented recruit

2489
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 1: on the roster, and yet injuries have kind of prevented

2490
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:55,840
Speaker 1: him from really getting his footing over the course of

2491
02:10:55,920 --> 02:10:58,720
Speaker 1: the year. But you know, then you've got Surat on

2492
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that there, that is I think can be one of

2493
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:06,640
Speaker 1: the better receivers in the league itself. The offensive weapons

2494
02:11:06,680 --> 02:11:10,240
Speaker 1: outside the quarterback position look good for Indiana.

2495
02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:14,080
Speaker 9: Ware Well, I think we're certainly receiver I mean, like

2496
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:16,400
Speaker 9: their depths not what it was last year. But if

2497
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:19,280
Speaker 9: all those guys stay healthy, I don't think it matters.

2498
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 9: Because you've got Sarat, Cooper, and Williams. That's a pretty

2499
02:11:23,800 --> 02:11:26,640
Speaker 9: good I think anybody would be envious of that starting three. Surat,

2500
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:28,600
Speaker 9: like you said, sort of an under I mean, I

2501
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 9: know he's gotten recognition, kind of been some preseason American

2502
02:11:31,920 --> 02:11:36,040
Speaker 9: American lists and receiving awards, but I feel like he's

2503
02:11:36,040 --> 02:11:37,920
Speaker 9: gone under the raider just based on his production in

2504
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:42,040
Speaker 9: the way he steadily climbed kind of the ranks. Cooper

2505
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:45,400
Speaker 9: is kind of, you know, growing into it and showed flashes.

2506
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:48,880
Speaker 9: Aaron Williams has the upside of like an NFL type

2507
02:11:49,280 --> 02:11:51,800
Speaker 9: guy with just his his skill set. So I mean,

2508
02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:53,760
Speaker 9: with those three alone, I think you're looking at a

2509
02:11:53,800 --> 02:11:56,080
Speaker 9: really solid core. I think Sarat can carry that group,

2510
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 9: no question, if they stay healthy. I'm intrigued by the

2511
02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:03,280
Speaker 9: running backs with Roman Hemby and Lee BB Junior. You know,

2512
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:08,000
Speaker 9: heavy ran really well against Indiana the last couple of years,

2513
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:10,480
Speaker 9: but did some nice things from Maryland. And they both

2514
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:13,280
Speaker 9: are really pass catching oriented type of back, so they

2515
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 9: can really hurt you out of the backfield. And so

2516
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:16,800
Speaker 9: I think that's some an area where we talked about

2517
02:12:16,800 --> 02:12:19,280
Speaker 9: where things maybe look a little different. That's one of them.

2518
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:23,040
Speaker 9: And so I think, you know, look he you know,

2519
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:26,560
Speaker 9: Mendonza has the weapons surrounded him, surrounding him to be

2520
02:12:26,640 --> 02:12:30,040
Speaker 9: a really effective quarterback. Can you get the protection especially

2521
02:12:30,040 --> 02:12:33,480
Speaker 9: in those you know, really good games and sort of

2522
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:35,560
Speaker 9: have have trust in it, you know, because this was

2523
02:12:35,560 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 9: a guy that was secked you know, forty something times

2524
02:12:37,480 --> 02:12:39,320
Speaker 9: last year and was on the run. You know, it

2525
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:41,280
Speaker 9: was went for his life most of the season. He's

2526
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 9: got to feel comfortable back in that pocket. I think

2527
02:12:43,080 --> 02:12:45,480
Speaker 9: he has the talent up front in that line and

2528
02:12:45,560 --> 02:12:47,360
Speaker 9: has the talent around him. But it's just got to

2529
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:48,920
Speaker 9: kind of all come together and we'll see kind of

2530
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:49,480
Speaker 9: what happens.

2531
02:12:49,640 --> 02:12:52,839
Speaker 1: Lastly, Mike, what did we learn, if anything about Indiana

2532
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:55,800
Speaker 1: basketball that we did not already know, which might be

2533
02:12:55,840 --> 02:12:59,600
Speaker 1: everything from their time down in Puerto Rico.

2534
02:13:01,040 --> 02:13:03,760
Speaker 9: Well, it just confirms I think the style. I mean, like, look,

2535
02:13:03,800 --> 02:13:05,560
Speaker 9: if you wanted a sort of a refresh from the

2536
02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:08,240
Speaker 9: Mike Winston era, those three point numbers, when you looked

2537
02:13:08,280 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 9: at kind of the box scores from those three games,

2538
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:13,400
Speaker 9: we'll tell you that this is definitely a new era.

2539
02:13:13,480 --> 02:13:14,800
Speaker 9: It's not just a you know, a new code of

2540
02:13:14,840 --> 02:13:18,720
Speaker 9: paint like this is a very differently built team than

2541
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:21,840
Speaker 9: the ones that Indiana has become accustomed to the last

2542
02:13:21,880 --> 02:13:24,240
Speaker 9: you know, three or four seasons. This team's going to

2543
02:13:24,240 --> 02:13:26,200
Speaker 9: shoot the ball. They're going to shoot the ball a lot,

2544
02:13:26,320 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 9: and they're not gonna be afraid to saw a lie

2545
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 9: in a three point shot. So when you talk about

2546
02:13:31,280 --> 02:13:33,960
Speaker 9: kind of like a hard reset like this is it.

2547
02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:37,840
Speaker 1: Mike Nisilk with the Bloomington Herald Times. Mike appreciate the

2548
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:39,840
Speaker 1: time as always, man, good talking to you.

2549
02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:42,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, well so, I'm sure we'llll be talking soon down

2550
02:13:42,800 --> 02:13:43,600
Speaker 9: line with football here.

2551
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Appreciate it and look forward to that for certain. He mentioned,

2552
02:13:46,400 --> 02:13:50,840
Speaker 1: by the way, a fresh coat of paint, Eddie, My

2553
02:13:51,040 --> 02:13:56,200
Speaker 1: parents had to get their house painted recently. No turns out,

2554
02:13:56,640 --> 02:13:59,720
Speaker 1: did I tell you this? No, they only needed to

2555
02:13:59,760 --> 02:14:03,320
Speaker 1: paint three quarters of it. I've told this story many

2556
02:14:03,360 --> 02:14:07,240
Speaker 1: many years ago on the radio. But it's a fabulous reason.

2557
02:14:07,400 --> 02:14:10,440
Speaker 1: And I've never been more proud of my dad than

2558
02:14:10,480 --> 02:14:12,520
Speaker 1: when I found out why. I'll tell you that. We'll

2559
02:14:12,520 --> 02:14:16,560
Speaker 1: hand it off to John next. So when I was

2560
02:14:16,560 --> 02:14:22,200
Speaker 1: a kid, the house next door to my parents, the

2561
02:14:22,240 --> 02:14:26,280
Speaker 1: house next door to us was a very nice woman

2562
02:14:27,800 --> 02:14:32,040
Speaker 1: who had been at some point I believe had been

2563
02:14:32,080 --> 02:14:34,360
Speaker 1: a dancer, and had several friends that were in the

2564
02:14:34,840 --> 02:14:39,640
Speaker 1: adult entertainment industry. That type of dancer. Yes, and so

2565
02:14:40,520 --> 02:14:44,640
Speaker 1: several of her friends. She was not a dancer when

2566
02:14:44,680 --> 02:14:46,280
Speaker 1: we lived next door to them, but several of her

2567
02:14:46,320 --> 02:14:49,680
Speaker 1: friends were. And they had a pool in the backyard

2568
02:14:49,760 --> 02:14:52,520
Speaker 1: with a huge privacy fence. Oh, so you didn't get

2569
02:14:52,520 --> 02:14:55,040
Speaker 1: any peeps. I was very young at this time, but

2570
02:14:55,200 --> 02:14:59,520
Speaker 1: she would have her friends over that would all tan

2571
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:04,800
Speaker 1: naked or at the very least topless. I didn't know

2572
02:15:04,920 --> 02:15:08,800
Speaker 1: any of this information. But so, how old were you

2573
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:15,040
Speaker 1: when this happened? Probably seven or eight? Oh, okay, and so,

2574
02:15:15,600 --> 02:15:18,320
Speaker 1: but I mean it was a huge fence with huge

2575
02:15:18,360 --> 02:15:21,520
Speaker 1: pine trees and everything else. A couple of years ago,

2576
02:15:22,360 --> 02:15:25,800
Speaker 1: two or three years ago, my parents needed to get

2577
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:30,360
Speaker 1: their house painted, and they get an estimate, and the

2578
02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:33,760
Speaker 1: guy shows up to give the estimate and says to

2579
02:15:33,840 --> 02:15:36,520
Speaker 1: my mom, well, here's the estimate. My mom says, well,

2580
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:40,640
Speaker 1: that seems like a heck of a price because they

2581
02:15:40,640 --> 02:15:43,200
Speaker 1: were getting the house painted the same color that my

2582
02:15:43,360 --> 02:15:46,000
Speaker 1: father had painted the house in nineteen seventy nine or

2583
02:15:46,080 --> 02:15:49,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, Okay, same color my dad was. My dad

2584
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:53,440
Speaker 1: was very you know, he painted the house. And the

2585
02:15:53,480 --> 02:15:56,320
Speaker 1: guy says, well, yeah, I mean it's less expensive than

2586
02:15:56,320 --> 02:15:59,000
Speaker 1: most people, because I'll be honest with you, that west

2587
02:15:59,040 --> 02:16:01,080
Speaker 1: side of the house doesn't need to be touched at

2588
02:16:01,080 --> 02:16:03,320
Speaker 1: all because it's got like twelve coats of paint on it.

2645
02:18:23,640 --> 02:18:27,920
Speaker 1: to do today. I went and had my annual heart

2646
02:18:27,959 --> 02:18:30,119

2647
02:18:30,200 --> 02:18:35,040
Speaker 1: and everything was good. But in that conversation, one of

2648
02:18:35,080 --> 02:18:37,279
Speaker 1: the things that came up was the benefit of premier

2649
02:18:37,280 --> 02:18:39,560
Speaker 1: weight loss, which I know you've obviously benefited from, but

2650
02:18:39,959 --> 02:18:43,480
Speaker 1: the cardio ofasca benefit of that, I mean, he was like, look, man,
