1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: The Colts have announced their first Now I have to

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: say this, of course, unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: No real surprise except for that at the quarterback position.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: It simply says Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson a couple

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: of other spots we can discuss joining us now to

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: do that and more. He is, of course, with CBS four,

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: WXA and Fox fifty nine, the dean of all riders

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Colts, Mike Chappell joining us

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: on the show, Chap I'm sure you saw the depth

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: chart released by the Colts before we get to that.

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious of this, do you and how many of

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: us do you need to help you move? Because I

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: saw that Jim Mersey's home has it is a pending

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: cash sale for over the asking price of twelve million.

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: My understanding is it's about twenty five percent more than

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: that that was offered in cash, and you move in.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: When well, I tried to low ball them, so you

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: know my five point five mill I was gonna I had.

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: I had large bills in the back of my car

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: that I was going to take there, and they said, hey, yeah,

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: right buddy.

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right right in a couple of coupons too.

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: You had coupons, right.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might have been able to rent the the

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: ice rink that I believe he's got, uh, or one

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: of the guest houses.

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: Maybe I've heard the two guest houses are fabulous, you know,

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: in all honesty, Chap, what's that they are? You know?

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: It does make you curious. I think that the and

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: there's going to be you watch. I mean, there will

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: be all kinds of speculation and guessing games as to

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: who bought it until it's announced. I don't know that,

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: But I don't think we can rule out the possibility, Chap,

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: that that an out of market simply investor purchased it

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: just for the land itself, or to you know, to

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: to build two homes on there, or sell those again individually,

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, right, I mean, there's any number

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: of factors that could go out.

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: But they to think you would do that and tear

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: that place down. I understand what you're saying, But and again,

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a world I am simply not familiar with.

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: I've got a rental property, We've got the wife and

43
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: her brother got two rental properties in betro We're trying

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: to sell and if anybody's interested, give me a call. Uh,

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: And it's is the land is important, that that's what's valuable,

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: not not the houses that are on it. Well, I

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: just can't see an investor thing, you know, I can

48
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: I can put like three properties there or three houses.

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: I just think that this is somebody that's got kind

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: of hate to say, too much money in their hands.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: But maybe that's the case. I don't know.

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: I've heard, you know, some renovation. My understanding is there

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: are some renovations. I mean, like any any property. I

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: don't mean that a bad way at all, right, I

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: mean Jim Orsay owned it for what thirty years, right,

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: so you know. But then on top of that, I

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: don't think there I don't think. I don't even know

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: if there was an inspection, so I think it was.

59
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: You know, you hear people that blind purchase stuff like

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: that just as an investment, so you know, we'll see.

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: But it is fascinating. And then of course everybody's, oh,

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: it's Bernard Ryman bought it, you know, Peyton Bonnett tear

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: it down, and you know, YadA YadA YadA. But all right,

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: let's get to this. Let me tell you the one

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: thing on the depth chart that, uh, I'm not gonna

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: say surprise me, but I thought was interesting, and that's

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: a tight end. The Colts website right now has for

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: their depth chart at tight end title Warren. No surprise there,

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: mo Alei Cox, no surprise there, because he can do

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: some things that Warren. It's not that Warren can't do them,

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: but that you wouldn't ask Warre necessarily to do as much,

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: and that's being like, you know, run game blocker, et cetera.

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I was a little intrigued by this, and I know

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: he's a good player, but Drew Ogletree one spot in

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: front of Will Mallory. You know, I think Mallory has

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: had a really good camp. But do we read into

77
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: that in any way, shape or form. And how many

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: tight ends do they carry?

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: Probably four? And I would I would guard against anybody

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: reading anything into the first unofficial depth chart because teams

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: have to do it, we pay attention to it. But

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: this isn't the first time the Colts had an or

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling who it was last year. The year before,

84
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: we had a couple of oars. Whether they were at

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: can't I can't remember what positions they were, but it's

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: an interesting piece. And again these are this is met

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: CONTI going in. I think that the coaches and hey,

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: we need a depth chart, and each position coach says okay,

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: hang on them and takes them, you know, thirty seconds

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: to jot down names. But it's a guideline, is all

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: it is. I am with you. I The one guy

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: that I've noticed in camp that maybe people aren't paying

93
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: attention to is Will Mallory. I think he's got a

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: really good camp drew ography as well. But I think

95
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: they keep four tight ends because because when that's how

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: Shane's shan Stock and loves him some tight ends. He

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: just hasn't had tight ends to really love the last,

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: you know, since since Jack Doyle left. But Tyler Warren's

99
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: been everything we anticipated. He dropped the ball the other day,

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, what in the hell did I just see?

101
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: It was behind him and he got one hand on it,

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: and you expect him to make that catch because he's

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: made him so. And it was interesting that, for whatever

104
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: you want to make of it, is Tanner Bordolini is

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: the starting center ahead of Danny Penri and they have

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: literally divvied up the snaps at center, as has Richardson

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: and Jones. But it's just it's a guideline and it

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: gives you a little bit of insight, but not a lot.

109
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, at the receiver position, Chap, Mike Chapel is

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: our guest, No real surprises at the receiver position, you know,

111
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Pittman and then Ashton Jel Duelan behind him. Then on

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: the other side Alec with Ady Mitchell, who I think

113
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of resembles Anthony Richardson in the fact that he's

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: made some good strides but then also taking a little

115
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: bit of a step back. What really I find bothers

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: him is the receiver spot. You got Pierce Mitchell, then

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: DJ Montgomery, Blaine Taylor, and then land and Parker. So

118
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: my guy land In Parker just because he looks like

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Jeff mccoley. That looks like he's got high odds stacked

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: against him, right, Chap.

121
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: So so you take offense to that on the depth chart? Yeah?

122
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: That's my guy Landon Parker is my guy?

124
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Do you take us? Hopefully you don't take offense where

125
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: I say, men, you need to get a license. It

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: is funny because Joel Erickson picks out a guy, uh

127
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: every camp and it was the linebacker at JK, I

128
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: think it is and we get on him about that,

129
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: and the guys had a pretty good camp. But no,

130
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: it is kind of cool to find because again, one

131
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: or two of these guys are gonna make it. I

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: don't think receiver. They're going to probably keep six receivers

133
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: on the active roster and then they'll keep three practice

134
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: squad probably, so your guy probably has a shot there.

135
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: But it's a good thing that right now, Aston Dulan

136
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: is your five and Anthony Gould is your six, and

137
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 2: that's a good that's a good problem, a good issue

138
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: to have to have players of who are both having

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: pretty good camps. At receiver, which which is a good

140
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: thing for Goold because he's been primarily a return guy

141
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: is playing really well given the chance on offense, so

142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: against so many positions. I like, what's going on. Still

143
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: not crazy about linebacker, and all of a sudden they're

144
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: they're their proven depth at cornerback is getting tested, yes,

145
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: by by hamstring injuries, and that's a little bit of

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: a concern.

147
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: And let's let's piggyback off that chap. When you talk

148
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: about ham strings. That's a problematic area, right where like

149
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: sometimes guy that can linger for guys but typically speaking

150
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: or has there been any indication to this when you're

151
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: talking about Jalen Jones and Juju Brents both, Has there

152
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: been any hint at all or even based on precedent

153
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: how much they would miss moving forward, only.

154
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: That Shane Stocking said that that Jalen Joneses was more

155
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: I think his term was more severe. You never like

156
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: to hear the word severe come from a coach because

157
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: they don't like those words. And we didn't get a

158
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: day to day week to week here he's going to

159
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: miss some time. And again I I Jalen Jones needs

160
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: work in this new system, but he's started gosh twenty

161
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: seven games the last two years, so they know what

162
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: they've got with him. Juju Brent's for Karnaut Loud. He

163
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: needs to he needs to stay on the field. And

164
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: here's a case where he didn't. You know, he was

165
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: made ava able to the media one day and then

166
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: the next day you didn't practice because of the hamstring.

167
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: So I hate to see it. At some point, at

168
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: some point the team just says, I'm sorry, we can't

169
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: trust you to stay healthy. They're not there with Juju

170
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: Brents at all, but he and Daniel Scott, Jelanie Woods

171
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: guys that have been hurt. You know, I think, boy,

172
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: these guys have got something, but they can't stay healthy. Uh.

173
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: But cornerback, I think Jaylen Jones is gonna miss some time.

174
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: That's Chap speak, not I can speak. Uh, just because

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: of what coach said. And again, uh Mooney Ward missed

176
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: practice one day or two days and apparently got tighteness

177
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: in the leg, which that I assume that's a hamstringer

178
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: or whatever. And I tell you these guys that are

179
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: that are vets that really anybody that has something, they

180
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: hold him out, whether it's the Forest Buckner one day

181
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: had a foot is shoes that held him out. Uh,

182
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: So they just they don't push it in training camp

183
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: in pre season, I think there's going to be a

184
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: handful of veterans not play much in preseason defense. I'm saying,

185
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: even though this is a new defense that needed to

186
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: play together, the wards and maybe cam buying them and

187
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: the force buck different credit a loud. I know what

188
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: the Forest buck can do. I know what Gerver Stewart

189
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: can do. They need some snaps just because you don't

190
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: want their first significant work to be in the in

191
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: the opener, but they will be limited. I think offensively

192
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: is a different matter entirely because of the quarterback. And

193
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: I heard you guys talking earlier about what they might do,

194
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: what they will do. But again, Kevin Boeller and I

195
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: talked about this, and I think that they need to

196
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: have a quarterback decided after two games and then really

197
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: peel back the starter and not play much in the

198
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: third game. And Kevin thinks they just need to play,

199
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: which and he's probably he's probably right.

200
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, Jeb, you heard what I was saying in this.

201
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: I do think the starter is going to be Anthony

202
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: and I said when they signed him, I thought it

203
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: was gonna be Daniel Jones. I've I've flopped on that.

204
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: I will admit where I was wrong where I thought

205
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: that the yes, and I think it's going to be Richardson

206
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: and they're going to give him and and you know,

207
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: the sands are running through the hourglass here. But having

208
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: said that to me, the one thing that I think

209
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: they would tell you is that they realized they aired

210
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: and handing him the keys too early, and so the

211
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: final yeah, and so Therefore, I think they are going

212
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: to take the competition as late into the equation as

213
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: they can to continue to push him and make sure

214
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: that he does not And again, I want to be

215
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: very clear here, I'm not saying that Richardson is a

216
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: bad guy, that he has, you know, off field issues,

217
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. But in terms of his focus,

218
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: you want him to whatever they did to push him

219
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: so far has more off been shown that it is

220
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: working as opposed to not. And therefore you want to

221
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: continue pushing him that direction for as long as you

222
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: possibly can to keep him focused. Would you agree with that?

223
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: Boy? If I agree with that, then then then I'm

224
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: pointing out a rigison weakness and that he has to

225
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: be pushed to do his job. And that was the

226
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: problem the first two years is I guess in Layman's

227
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: term there was too much enabling going on.

228
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Right, That's right, right?

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Well, but god, you've got to be this is his

230
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: third year. You've got to be past that. You just

231
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: have to be that such a position coach is get

232
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: on him, and the courtate and get on him. But

233
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: my goodness, if they need to push him in the

234
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: third preseason game so that he doesn't have a lapse,

235
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: then you've got the wrong You've got the wrong guy.

236
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: You just do I think I think he needs to

237
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: start the opener because they have simply got to find

238
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: out what they have. Can he stay healthy? Can he

239
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: do the job better? I was looking here. I actually

240
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: did some homework before before the show today, and in

241
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: eleven on eleven passing in campus nine practices, I've got

242
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: Richardson at fifty eight percent and Jones at roughly sixty

243
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 2: seven sixty eight percent. I would take Richardson fifty eight

244
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: percent all day.

245
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: I would agree that's not a big enough separation for

246
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: Jones to win that job.

247
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: No, No, and Jones has been I think what we

248
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: thought decent arm strength, not great arm strength, more effective underneath.

249
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: He still holds the ball too long in my mind.

250
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: But Richardson just gives you the shock plays he does,

251
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: and he's been better on the underneath things. He's still gosh.

252
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: I think it was Saturday they played red zone in

253
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: like the first section the first session. He throws an

254
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: interception in the end zone from like the five yard

255
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: by whatever it was. You can't do that, you can't

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: of all the things you can't do as the quarterback ees,

257
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: central pick sixes. You can't. You can't throw an interception

258
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: around the goal line. You just can't. I saw to

259
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: Rick Venturia and he said, do you trust him? And

260
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, no, I don't. Uh, just because of

261
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: the short sample size.

262
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: I've got to go on.

263
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: But my goodness, he's just his ceiling is so high.

264
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: But at some point again, he's got to do it.

265
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: He's got to stay on. He's got to stay on

266
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: the field. And so far, you know, knock on wood,

267
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: he's not missed time for anything, a sore shoulder and

268
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: all that. If I'm him and I've got a sore shoulder,

269
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: I keep it to myself. I realize if you're a pitcher,

270
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: maybe you can't do that. But uh, I think that

271
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: part of it is he's past that because they've thrown

272
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: quite a bit. But he's just he's just looked better

273
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: I think overall with what he brings. And if he's

274
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: fifty eight percent and he gives you the shot plays

275
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: and he gives you I don't know, sixty yards of

276
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: game rushing and he picks up third and seven with

277
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: his legs or whatever, now you got to cut down

278
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: on the whatever it was twelve interceptions or whatever it

279
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: was last year. You can't have that with only eight touchdowns.

280
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: But they can just do so much more with him,

281
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: and you need to find out he either stays healthy

282
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: or he doesn't. If he doesn't, you say, well, this

283
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: is who he is. You know, a guy that's missed

284
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: half of his games with injuries. And that's where you know, okay,

285
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: we can't rely, but you need to find out. You

286
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: don't find out by by starting the season with Jones,

287
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: who is going to give you a more of an

288
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: even you know, line on how he plays. But and

289
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: then what do you get with Richardson? You just don't know.

290
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: So to me, he's done nothing to lose the job.

291
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: I think he I thought I've always thought he had

292
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: the would have to really have an awful camp, just

293
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: an awful camp to not be the starter.

294
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: And listen, and baseball, a tie goes to the runner.

295
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: In football, a tie goes to the incumbent.

296
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Right, Well, it's like you gotta knock out the champ.

297
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: And I think that sort of had to be what

298
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: what Jones? He either had to knock him out, which

299
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: he hasn't done, or Richardson had to play terrible, which

300
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: he hasn't done, which is encouraging. Had one bad day,

301
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: I think it was Saturday, was a bad day, a

302
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: not really good day in pads. So I think that's encouraging. Uh,

303
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: And how they're going to do it again? He stike

304
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: and told us that both guys were going to play

305
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: quite amount of a good amount in these first two games.

306
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: Howie does it will make a big deal whether it's

307
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: Jones and the opener in Baltimore and then the other

308
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: guy then Richardson in the second game, but they're both

309
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: going to play. And I think what's interesting is with

310
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks playing as much as they're going to play,

311
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, three quarters, I don't know. Do

312
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: you play your starting offensive line that long? You know

313
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: it's because because then you're exposing your other quarterback to

314
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: playing with guys who have had an uneven training camp,

315
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: although they'll be going against the other team's backups at

316
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 2: some point, So really interesting. Again, I would hope that

317
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: I would think that games, how they do in games

318
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: will have carry more weight than eleven on eleven and

319
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: seven on seven and how they go in meeting rooms,

320
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: and I understand all that goes together but how they

321
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: actually play on Thursday night or Saturday night against the Packers.

322
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: I just think that carries more weight and I'm curious.

323
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm really curious how it goes. I've been encouraged by Richardson,

324
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: I really have been, but I just can't get those

325
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: first two years out of my head. I know, I

326
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: know that's my blind spot.

327
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a little PTSD the right of not

328
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: only from a consistency but from an availability standpoint. Mike Chappel,

329
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: our guest Chap I wanted to ask you this as well,

330
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years ago, and I'm not

331
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: saying it was the right narrative. Maybe it was too

332
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: trendy a thing to say, but we got into this

333
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying you, but when the league started

334
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: becoming really passer friendly, and they're throwing up Star Wars numbers,

335
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: and you know, Goff and Mahomes are having games where

336
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: it's going into the fifties, and people started saying, well,

337
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: the running backs become the fungible position. That's the position

338
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: that you can just kind of get a guy off

339
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: the street in week eight and it gives you a

340
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: good game. Whatever else. Maybe we started to see the

341
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: value at the running back position again in the National

342
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Football League. But I'm curious of this if you agree

343
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: or disagree, or can expand on it. In today's NFL.

344
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: Defensively speaking, are we entering into an arena now where

345
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: defensive backfield is hyper important, pass rush is important, and

346
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: thus your linebacker corps is the one that can be

347
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: for you the most pedestrian.

348
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Probably, although you need to have you know, you give

349
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: me a shackle letter, you know when in the second

350
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: and third year, even rookie, I'd take that on a heartbeat.

351
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Middle linebacker tackles maybe maybe. Now if you're Zaire and

352
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: he you know, he had the second team off pro

353
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: less here were gonna get three and a half sacks

354
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: and eleven tackles for loss and a couple of interceptions,

355
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: that's different. Just don't give me tackles because those can

356
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: be you know, how many taxes were down the field. Whatever.

357
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, you better have gosh, you better have four

358
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: corners that you trust. You better have three safeties that

359
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: you trust, because that's what teams are going to. Kennymore

360
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: Holy Smokes, his value as a nickel is off the charts.

361
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 2: They think this the justin Wally kid can can kind

362
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: of be that list that side.

363
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: Wally's been impressive though, and they made no bonds bones

364
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: about the fact they' been impressed.

365
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: To them, right right, But but again, and then when

366
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: you have Mooney Ward, who can be that shutdown guy.

367
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: You know, think back to Vonte Davis, the late Vonte Davis.

368
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: He was pretty good, a couple of Pro Bowls, uh,

369
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: and the one year with Stefan Gilmour. They've not had

370
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: that guy often enough. And they again the injuries injuries

371
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: are a little bit of concerned because all of a sudden,

372
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: guys Sam Oomack, who's like your good fifth guy, as

373
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: that he's playing more.

374
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

375
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: But again it's early preseason and except for the running

376
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: back yesterday in Jalen Jones, they've really avoided the major injuries.

377
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Knock on wood, I.

378
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: Know, but so so Yeah, it's with the running backs.

379
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: I think I've always valued Jonathan Taylor. Now I I

380
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: don't know how long I would value him, you know,

381
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: five years, six years, because there there is an expiration.

382
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: They one running backs, although Derrick Henry would tell you

383
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: to go fly a kite because there hasn't been one

384
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: on him. He's an alien like Jerry Rice. But I

385
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 2: think the Colts have absolutely wasted two outstanding years by

386
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 2: Jonathan Tavor. It still boggles my mind that he rushes

387
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: for eighteen hundred yards and you don't make the playoffs.

388
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: But they're gonna they're gonna maximize his talents and they should.

389
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: I may have mentioned to you I was shocked when

390
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: someone posted a note that he's average eighty nine yards

391
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: in his career. That's the highest active yards per game

392
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL, higher than Derrick Henry. So it just

393
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: shows you. Yes, he dropped the freaking football at Denver,

394
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: which killed him, but he's a quality player and they're

395
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna lean on him a ton. I hope

396
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: he stays healthy enough. I like DJ Giddens, the rookie.

397
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: He's looked pretty good. So but yeah, you're right, it

398
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: sort of has swung. Uh, it's to where you're you're

399
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: valuing pass rush. You're always going to value that, and

400
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 2: they've had they had a really good pass rush the

401
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: last week or so. Now is that, you know, good

402
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: for them, or you know, offensive line pick up your game.

403
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: Lat has had a great camp, absolutely great camp, and

404
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: they need him to be the guy, not just a guy.

405
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: They need him to be kind of like the tip

406
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: of the spear. And then all of a sudden, you're

407
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: okay with Quitty Pei get you eight or nine sacks,

408
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: and Buckner give me his He'll he'll give you eight

409
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: sacks as long as he stays healthy, because that's that's

410
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: who he is. And get something from kom so it.

411
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: But but lots and he needs to be the guy,

412
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: and he's he's dominated training camp. He just has but

413
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: pass rush, cover quarterback and running back and then got

414
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: the receivers are just going off the charts as far

415
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: as pay so. But yeah, it has swung in a

416
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: little bit to where we're not seeing four hundred yard

417
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: passing games like we did back in the day. Has

418
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: swung a little bit to more of a can control

419
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: passing game. So you need to have corners. You need

420
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: to have to where you're gonna play maybe two linebackers

421
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: on an extra dB most of the time.

422
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: Mike Chapels CBS four wxin Fox fifty nine where you

423
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: see his coverage and of course Colt's getting set Thursday,

424
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: preseason game number one against the Baltimore Ravens, chap appreciated

425
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: as always, talked to you soon, all.

426
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: Right, talk cat you next week. You guys be well.

427
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Mike Chapel joining us, joining us now,

428
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure thrilled to be doing so, Eddie, I

429
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: believe you have the proper introduction for him, correct.

430
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: Speaking of lost and clueless. So we bring on Kyle

431
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 4: Nrip from the NSTR.

432
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he joined us now in the guest line, Indianapolis

433
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: star Kyle Neddrip, of course, the high school writer for

434
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: football basketball primarily joining US now. And I want to

435
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: begin with that, Kyle. It is man, it happens earlier

436
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: and earlier, right, But basically high school football season is

437
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: upon us.

438
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the officials Star practices today, which is sort of

439
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: a unofficial official I would say, anymore, because most teams

440
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: are practicing, you know. There all teams are able to

441
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 4: under the rules now able to practice and do things

442
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: throughout the spring and summer. So it's sort of more

443
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: of a symbolic start, I would say, But it is

444
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: the start, and you know, teams are you know, unable

445
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: to you know, you can't have ads on today tomorrow,

446
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: but then get after it on Wednesday and then we'll

447
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: be here basically next a week from Friday with the

448
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 4: scrimmages and then the following week with games.

449
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is.

450
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 4: It's definitely. Uh, it's here, and it's always fun because

451
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: you know, the start of school kind of you know,

452
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 4: coincides with football and kind of signifies the new year.

453
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: And I always look forward to that kind of restart,

454
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 4: you know, not only the football season, but you know,

455
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: the school year for all these kids going back to school.

456
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, Kyle, before we get into that,

457
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: I'll let you enter the same arena that Mike Chappa

458
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: was just in because there's going to be all kinds

459
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: of speculation because Jim Mr say his home has a

460
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: pending sale, a cash sale at over asking price. Do

461
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: you want to wager on who it's going to be?

462
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: Oh? Boy, it's not Chap, is it.

463
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: That's right? He got out of the print side of things,

464
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: got into the TV money and now all of a sudden,

465
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's go right.

466
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: The money rolls in rum gosh. I I I would, man,

467
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 4: I would venture somebody in the in the sports or maybe,

468
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: but but yeah, I don't even know. I don't even

469
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: know where to start.

470
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: I think clubhouse leader on this is outside market investor,

471
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: blind purchase investor.

472
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that could be man that speaking of that, the

473
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 4: full court indoor basketball court was, Man, how how awesome

474
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 4: was that? It's like, man, they should they should actually

475
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 4: play high school games in there.

476
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: That's how about the hockey?

477
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 4: It's cool that place was Yeah exactly, I mean, man,

478
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: my goodness, what a what a what a life? You know,

479
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: that's that's super cool. Yeah, I don't even know, I

480
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: don't even know where to start.

481
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: But you know, Tyrese Haliburtons again, I'm going to best.

482
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess out of country investor. That is

483
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: strictly a guess and probably a dumb one, Kyle, when

484
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: it comes to and I know you have your article

485
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: up right now. You know eight things we're looking for

486
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: here in terms of high school football for the year.

487
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: And it is early, but practice getting underway today. From

488
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: an official standpoint, aside from the the obvious power hitters

489
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: that we talk about every year, is there a school

490
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: or a team that it looks like this year you

491
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: are intrigued by because they could make a real jump

492
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: that maybe in the normal season we don't talk a

493
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: lot about.

494
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're probably talking more six s a

495
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: you know, as we get started here. But I would say,

496
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 4: you know, from a standpoint of a team that you

497
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 4: know has been a little bit off the radar but

498
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 4: has been building, I would say, and I'm not saying

499
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 4: they're state title contenders necessarily, but maybe could be. Is

500
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: probably Pike. You know, they're a team that has been

501
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: you know, on the rise here these last couple of

502
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: years under Mike Broward, who uh you know came from

503
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: Fort Wayne and and but it is really from here,

504
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: has a really unique backstory by the way, but he

505
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: you know, he's kind of got that program going in

506
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: the right direction. They were five and five last year

507
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 4: and and sort of a slow build from you know,

508
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: one win to I believe they had three the next

509
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: year and then five last year and have started to

510
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: you know, get some continuity. I saw them play Fishers

511
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 4: last year and beat them in a really good game

512
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 4: early in the year. But uh, you know, they still

513
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: have a I would say to be a state contender.

514
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: And six they just really tough. I'm not sure if

515
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: they're that uh you know, to that level just quite yet,

516
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: but but maybe getting there closer to that one team

517
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 4: that we do talk a lot about and they were

518
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: having the past. Who maybe fits this category is Carmel,

519
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: which h you know, they've kind of been a little

520
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: bit down these last couple of years. They were three

521
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 4: and seven last year, and and but have Kevin right

522
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 4: back as coach, and after a decade of sort of

523
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: being out of the state.

524
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: Or out at least out of the high school.

525
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: Football in the state, I really think he's going to

526
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 4: get that program going and he just doesn't lose, you know,

527
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 4: so you kind of assume they're going to be and

528
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: they do have a lot of talent, so you know,

529
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: I know, Carmel's not necessarily an upset pick by any means,

530
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: but but maybe considering the you know that they have

531
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 4: only had three wins, you know, last year, and then

532
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 4: we're five and five the year before that, there there

533
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: may be someone who fits that you know distinction a

534
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: little bit. But I think they're going to be. We'll

535
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: find out early in the season because they play Fishers

536
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: in Westfield right off the bat, so you know, we'll

537
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: kind of see where they're at. But I would say

538
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: they might fit that, you know, kind of that sleeper

539
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: as much as you can put Carmel as a sleeper

540
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: in any sport, but they might fit that category.

541
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Right now, Kyle, when you look at your time in

542
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: covering high school sports in Indiana, this is season number

543
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: what for you?

544
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: It's eighteen?

545
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay. I was going to say, yes, seventeen. Yeah, so

546
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: eighteen right, so in the time that you've done it.

547
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: And this is kind of a maybe this isn't getting

548
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: into the weeds question, but I am curious. The rules

549
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: of enrollment in Indiana high schools are different than they

550
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: were traditionally thirty years ago of you know, you live

551
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: in this area or this township, you go to this school,

552
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: or you go to a private school kind of end

553
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: of story. Now, with the ability to go to you know,

554
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: with all of the charters, or the ability to you know,

555
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: with select school, to go to a different township than

556
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: where you live, et cetera, has it made consistency of

557
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: high school athletics harder to predict in the And I

558
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: know that they have transfer rules with the ISSA, and

559
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: the ISSA does the best they can to try to

560
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: preserve all of that, But just how big a variable

561
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: or challenge has that been versus say, fifteen years ago.

562
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and especially now you know with the you know,

563
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: the change that was made with the first time transfer rule,

564
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, and well that will have to play itself

565
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: out and you know, we don't have any data on

566
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 4: that just yet, you know, but you know, some schools

567
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 4: are and I think more and more schools now definitely

568
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: are you know, open enrollment. Some schools even now though,

569
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 4: are still you know, they don't take kids from out

570
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: of the out of the district, you know, so I

571
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: think that will you know, more and more and more

572
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: schools are are are the other way now where they

573
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: do take and now that you can go out of district,

574
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: it's it's I think advisable that you probably should, you know,

575
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: allow kids to come in if you have room for them, obviously.

576
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, I think there's just it's a

577
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: little bit more and it's always in this area, to

578
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: be honest. It's it's always been a little bit more

579
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: fluid as far as kids moving around and going, whether

580
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: they're actually physically moving or you know, switching schools. It's

581
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: always been, I think in Central Indiana and Indianapolis especially

582
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: a little bit more of a transient situation, you know,

583
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: And I think it's maybe become a little bit more

584
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 4: all over this day now. Uh, but it's you know,

585
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: I think there are kids definitely who you know, are

586
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 4: in a situation, especially now where you can transfer, get

587
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 4: a first time transfer. You know, you're you're going to

588
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: see more of that where hey, I may not be

589
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: playing at this school, I'm going to go uh over

590
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: here and where I can play. And that may be

591
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 4: more of the transfers that you see rather than the

592
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 4: rather than the huge names, uh, you know, the kids

593
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: who are big names transferring and maybe more of that

594
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 4: uh in the future, you know, based on this rule.

595
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 4: What this rule is, I don't know. You know, I

596
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: still think in football, though, it's it's so hard to

597
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 4: you know, like what Pike is doing or other schools

598
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 4: have done with with you know, trying to get your

599
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 4: your program on the map. It's just it's just really

600
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 4: hard when you're battling those year in and year at

601
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: powerhouses that are always good because football is a numbers

602
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: game obviously, and you know, kids want to go to

603
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: those schools or be involved in those schools that that

604
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: have had the history and have the tradition, and you know,

605
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: you're kind of fighting an uphill battle and football a

606
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: lot of times because it is such a such a

607
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 4: numbers game and and that sort of thing. But so

608
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: it's a little bit easier I think at football maybe

609
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 4: than other sports to predict, you know, who will be good.

610
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 4: That said, though, six A is always hard because it's

611
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: like it kind of changes hands all the time. It's

612
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 4: it's really hard to win back to back championships, and

613
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: you know, there's just so much quality in six A round,

614
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 4: especially around here. It just kind of it's not a

615
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: big group of schools that it changes hands from, but

616
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: it's they definitely battle each other for that top spot.

617
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 4: And that's what makes it so fun and so good

618
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 4: is just the competition at the top of that class.

619
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: And I think we'll see that again this year. It's

620
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: just not a lot that separates that that top team

621
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: from the rest.

622
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: Kyle when you look Kyle Needrip is our guest from

623
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Star. You know, part of your I'm going

624
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: to say offseason in air quotes, but between you know,

625
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: the basketball and football seasons that are your primary beat.

626
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: You did a really interesting series here lost Indiana and

627
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: going around and seeing just some of the old historic gems.

628
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: Which one is the one that most awed you when

629
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: you walked in.

630
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: I really like most of these, I've been to probably

631
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: all of them. We did ten of them, so we're

632
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 4: at number eight right now, so we have two more

633
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: to go. You know, I tried to pick out I

634
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: did a book many years ago on that included a

635
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: lot of these gym. I think probably all of them

636
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: but one were in the book originally. So most of these

637
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: I've been in before. But I would say, you know,

638
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: the Jasper, the caveo'nil gym, just because they've done so

639
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 4: much work to it, the volunteer work, and you know,

640
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 4: they that gym was sort of on its last legs

641
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: it appeared, and then it was actually needed once they

642
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 4: had some a storm that basically you know, they couldn't

643
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: use the Jasper gym that they'd built, so they moved

644
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 4: the games back there. This has been about ten or

645
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: twelve years ago, and actually used it, you know, for

646
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: a full season as their home gym again. And now

647
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: it's part of their you know community again. It's it's

648
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: used by different teams, so that one's really cool, and

649
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 4: it sort of incorporates, you know, some of the old

650
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, they have the old green bleachers about a

651
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: row of them anyway, that are still in there that

652
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 4: you can you can see they have a lot of

653
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: the newspaper articles framed up on the walls, you know,

654
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 4: so they've done a good job of sort of incorporating

655
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: the old with the new in that one as much

656
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: as you can with an old gym. But probably my

657
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 4: favorite Economy, which is in Wayne County, and it's it's

658
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: a little town that's barely a dot on the map,

659
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: but they have a wood frame white it looks like

660
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 4: a barn, you know, if you're driving on the highway

661
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: there and happened to drive by it. But it is

662
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 4: so small, basically, you know. And the cool thing about

663
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 4: what we're able to do is is coordinate to interview

664
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: people in the gym as they're sitting there on the court.

665
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: And you know, there was probably four or five people

666
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 4: who you know, were crying when we talked to them

667
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: about these places, and it was and that was you know,

668
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 4: just really neat to kind of invoke that emotion of

669
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: being back in those places. And that happened at Economy

670
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 4: with a couple of people we talked to. But you know,

671
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: that's just you walk in there and it's and I

672
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 4: walked in there probably almost twenty years ago, now for

673
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 4: the first time, and there was a pickup game going

674
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 4: on when I went in there, and I couldn't believe

675
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 4: it that they played high school basketball there. It was

676
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: just so so small. The out of bounds lines are

677
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 4: the are the walls at the end, one wall at

678
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: the end of the court. It's just so tiny. So

679
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 4: you know, so that one's really special to me, unique

680
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 4: to me, and you know, I really enjoy that one.

681
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 4: But you know, it's it's it's really all of them.

682
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: The ver Sales Gym, the Tyson Auditorium that was in

683
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 4: today's was today's edition. You know, that one's got a

684
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: lot of history from the Island team playing there in

685
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: their home games in fifty three fifty four because their

686
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: own gym was too small, So that one's really neat

687
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: as well. So I would I would, you know, one

688
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: of those Versailles Economy Jasper. Those were all really really

689
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: fun ones to go to. But they're all special, they're

690
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 4: all you know, I've enjoyed just hearing the memories of

691
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: all of the people we've talked to and just get

692
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: getting in those places again. Was just a lot of fun.

693
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: Economy, just to the northeast of Hagerstown, and just kind

694
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: of northwest of Richmond, Indiana is where that small town is. Kyle,

695
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it as always look forward to talking to you

696
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, all right. And by

697
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: the way, if it makes you feel any better, three

698
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: fifths of the people that I interview also end up crying.

699
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: So I mean that's you know what I mean, that's

700
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: we got that in common exactly. Well.

701
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 4: I appreciate Jake anytime. Appreciate you having me on.

702
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Kyle Needrip joining us from the Indianapolis Star.

703
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 5: Alia practices her forum A bounce, the free throw too

704
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 5: strong rebound. Seattle just don't foul, they don't.

705
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: Get a shot off.

706
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 6: Man.

707
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: That does it.

708
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: Final score Fever seventy eight Storm, and now you know

709
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 5: the Fever have won five in a row, extending their

710
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 5: longest winning streak of this season, and Indiana moves past

711
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 5: Seattle in the standings.

712
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: John Nolan on the call last night, technically yesterday late afternoon,

713
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: Fever winning in Seattle over the Storm. And each time

714
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: that Seattle, in fact, did try to call it a comeback,

715
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: the Fever would weather the storm. See what I did there,

716
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: But it was solid and I thought in listening to

717
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: the game, Thank you Eddie and listening to the game.

718
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: The one thing that you and I listened to John

719
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: for the better part of the second half as I

720
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: was out running Erond's yesterday and John, one of the

721
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: things that really jumped out at me, And this is

722
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: what I really like about this team is the fact

723
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: that they are now getting it from multiple areas, and

724
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: by that I mean different players on different nights. I

725
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: thought last night on Natasha Howard was fantastic, and each

726
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: time they needed a basket, seemingly she is the one

727
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: that they went to, and that balance is making them

728
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: very dangerous. You agree with that statement, and thanks for

729
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: joining us.

730
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 6: Hey, Jake, thanks for having me on, Thanks for listening yesterday.

731
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 6: One hundred percent agree. And I know you had Tat

732
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 6: Boyle and TV Voice of the Fever on last week,

733
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 6: and you know, he made a comment bringing up, you know,

734
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 6: sort of parallel to what we saw from the great

735
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 6: Pacers run this past season, and he was talking a

736
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 6: bit about how the placer said whether the injuries in

737
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 6: the first half of the season and then got it going.

738
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 6: And you know, another thing that really does give you

739
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 6: those Pacers vibes here is what the Fever are doing

740
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 6: right now is that you don't really know who it

741
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 6: is it's going to step up and have the big game.

742
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 6: So how about this last Sunday at Chicago, part of

743
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 6: this five game winning streak for the Fever. Unbelievably, Tosh

744
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 6: Howers didn't score, didn't even have a rebound. He wound

745
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 6: up not playing too much. That was a game when

746
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 6: the rookie kk Timpson came off the bench and had

747
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 6: the best game so far of her career.

748
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 3: So Tosh great teammate.

749
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 6: I think she had to play on social media afterwards

750
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 6: about how, hey, this is the safe a team where

751
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 6: you know, we're happy for each other. So one night

752
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 6: it's going to be somebody's you know, time to step up.

753
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 6: Another time it's going to be somebody else's. So yes

754
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 6: yesterday Tash at Seattle twenty one point five five assists too,

755
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 6: And as we talk about how it's truly a team

756
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 6: right now, especially with we went out of the lineup,

757
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 6: being how you don't know who really is going to

758
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 6: have a great game, because yesterday was an offshooting performance

759
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 6: for Kelsey Mitchell. But you know, one thing that really

760
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 6: just epitomizes that team effort. Here is the assist rate.

761
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 6: They assisted on twenty seven of their thirty two made shots.

762
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 6: That's more than eighty percent of their baskets. That is

763
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 6: a pretty insane assist percentage to have, and it really

764
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 6: just epitomizes what they're doing here.

765
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: Do you look, John, if you look at the way

766
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: things have come together for them, are they schematically doing

767
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: anything differently in terms of and I know you have

768
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: to adjust when you have somebody that is as important

769
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: as Caitlin Clark not on the floor, but in terms

770
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: of their ball distribution or getting the ball to operating areas,

771
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: are they are they schematically doing things differently?

772
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good question, and so they certainly here

773
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: after their best of late Steph White puts it, as

774
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 6: you know, making the ball pop and the ball movement

775
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 6: die to side, and there are some possessions where it's

776
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 6: like no one even dribbles. I think schematically though, One

777
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 6: thing that from the first go around, when Caitlyn was

778
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 6: out and without Caitlin, all of a sudden, the pace

779
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 6: took a pretty dramatic dip. It was like a split

780
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 6: of when Caitlyn was playing, they had the fastest pace

781
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 6: in the league, and then when Caitlyn wasn't playing, they

782
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 6: were sorting the bottom of the league.

783
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 3: In case now you really do have to.

784
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 6: Give a lot of flowers to Airy McDonald's, who is

785
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 6: as quick as anyone up there with Kelsey and Caitlin

786
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 6: and so gematically they haven't slowed down their pace since

787
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: they now have gotten Airy fluid here and you know,

788
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: on this rest of the season contract. So schematically it's

789
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 6: not night and day different. You know, they're able to

790
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 6: have Aleiah Boston now as a big facilitator. I mean

791
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 6: when you look at the individual assists yesterday, McDonald had nine,

792
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 6: mentioned Howard had five, Mitchell had five, you know, Leah

793
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 6: multiple assists to so stematically, it hasn't had to be

794
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 6: a great change now if they've had Aery McDonald's holding

795
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 6: the tide at point guard.

796
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: You know, I typically John, and I'm curious if you've

797
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: ever realized that you're in this fraternity. I don't typically

798
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: trust people with two first names. You're a guy with

799
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: two first names. Do you think of that as Nolan

800
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: not a common enough first name?

801
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously here as we talk on sports radio, Nolan Ryan,

802
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 6: you know, one of the most iconic fatuers of all time.

803
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: But I don't feel like I run into a lot

804
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 3: and Nolan.

805
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: I trust Nolan Ryan. And that's a guy with two

806
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: first names. Interestingly enough, But so.

807
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: My basketball is like forty five miles an hour.

808
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Here's I'm coming up with a new rule on this, Okay.

809
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: In order to be somebody that is categorized as a

810
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: guy with two first names, the last name has to

811
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: be the more common first name of the two. So

812
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan accounts because Ryan is more common than Nolan. Right, yes,

813
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: but Nolan's not more common than John. So I think

814
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: you're safe.

815
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: I am safe or not?

816
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: No, I think you're safe.

817
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 6: Okay, Yes, still morning hours out on the West coast.

818
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 6: Brand's not fully firing here yet all or maybe you

819
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 6: can debate ever, but yeah, I'll take word.

820
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: For it here technically speaking, Eddie Garrison, guy with two

821
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: first names, don't trust him at all? Right, isn't that right,

822
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: my Garrison?

823
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: Car?

824
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying for what it's worth. John,

825
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: what does happen when when Caitlin Clark comes back. Look,

826
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: she's a great player, I get it. I mean there

827
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: is not a world out there where you would not

828
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: want her on the floor. But at the same time,

829
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: they are playing so well right now, and how much

830
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: of that is out of necessity of having to distribute,

831
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: having to balance without her out there, And how intriguing

832
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: is it going to be when you have to not

833
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: have to but when you then bring her and acclimate

834
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: her back in.

835
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the perspective to probably have right now

836
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 6: is that it's awesome to see what the team has

837
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 6: been able to accomplish here without Caitlin, a five game

838
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 6: winning streak for the first time in a decade, and so.

839
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: They're showing that clearly here.

840
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 6: Even unfortunately without Caitlin, they're a playoff team and for

841
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 6: that matter, rising up in the standings, currently in fifth

842
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 6: and only a half game out of fourth, and shoot

843
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 6: just two games out of the two seeds as it

844
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 6: currently stands in the WNBA. But I think the perspective

845
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 6: to have is that with Caitlin coming back, figure scrossed.

846
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 6: I mean, it seems like she's on track to you

847
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 6: later this month, you know, all of a sudden, now

848
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 6: the team would have the ceiling of perhaps being a

849
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 6: title contender to get Minnesota links. Right now, they're on

850
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 6: another level from everyone else.

851
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: In the league.

852
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 6: Even though the Fever did beat them and the Commissioner's

853
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 6: Cup Championship game without Caitlin. But I think the perspective

854
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 6: is that now with Caitlyn's back to if she's gonna

855
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 6: have less pressure on her, you.

856
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: Know, over the course of.

857
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 6: Her career, whether it was at Iowa or last year

858
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 6: as a rookie, and she's kind of felt probably like

859
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 6: she needs to do more than typical. Right now, I

860
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 6: think you know, she's able to witness, you know, the

861
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 6: strength of everybody else and you know, perhaps can be

862
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 6: even more of a facilitator than she already was. I mean,

863
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 6: she was already sex in the league and assists per game,

864
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 6: but you know, recognizing that she's not going to really

865
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 6: need to be forcing things.

866
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: John Nolan is our guest radio play by play voice

867
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: of the Indiana Fever Fever winning last night in Seattle, Eddie,

868
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: what tide did that game end? Oh? For five? I

869
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: keep saying last night. I mean it was technically late afternoon,

870
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: right afternoon game. John. It was loud in that joint

871
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: man like Seattle, And I know that Seattle has been,

872
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: you know, a really good location for the w but

873
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned that the I think you said that the

874
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: upper levels were only sixty percent full, but even still

875
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: at one point, I mean it got raucous in that

876
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: place in the late third.

877
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really was a tremendous environment. And while it

878
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 6: wasn't a sellout, they still did have over sixteen thousand fans.

879
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 6: And credit to the fans in Seattle, where they're tied

880
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 6: for having one of the most titles in WNBI history,

881
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 6: So they've got a rich tradition, they have their own fans,

882
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 6: and of course it's been fun most road games this

883
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 6: year for the Fever. We joke about how it feels

884
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 6: like a home game, and while there were lots of fans,

885
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 6: they're wearing Fever retire. Yesterday, I mean I think it

886
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 6: was a pro Seattle crab. You could you could hear that, right, Yeah,

887
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 6: I mean that also makes yesterday's victory for the Fever

888
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 6: even more impressive because Seattle made some runs in the

889
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 6: second half and you know, got within a point there

890
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 6: down the stretch, had chances to tie in the game,

891
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: and well, as.

892
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: You put it, the Fever weather that's the worm Listen.

893
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: I was pretty proud of that. When I came up

894
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: with that, that was off top of my tad too, John,

895
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

896
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 6: Like Heay, all right, Jake, we're friends. Now about how

897
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 6: about a text here when you get that one, you know,

898
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 6: during the game yesterday, so I could drop that in.

899
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: Listen, hardly original, I realize, right, I mean, I will

900
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: admit that. By the way, aside from obviously within your

901
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: responsibilities WNBA wise, how many times have you previously been

902
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: to or been able to experience Seattle.

903
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd never been to Seattle until the two trips

904
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 6: here for the Fever this season and now coming to

905
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 6: you from LA, where I'm also visiting for the first time.

906
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: Really, never been to La before.

907
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 3: Never been to La.

908
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 6: I've been to California, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose,

909
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 6: but first time here.

910
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to ask you John, before we get

911
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: back to the Fever. I'm going to ask you a

912
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: Jake query La question, and I want you to answer

913
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: it with all honesty. Okay, oh boy, Okay, after going

914
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: and seeing Oasis in Manchester and like still reliving it

915
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: because they were two just unbelievable shows and they are

916
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: going to be playing in early September at the Rose Bowl. Okay,

917
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: So because of just the you know the beauty of

918
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: past Dina, the Rose bulletself iconic venue. I just decided,

919
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna do it, So I bought

920
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: a ticket by myself. Okay, Shannon didn't want to go,

921
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: So I bought a ticket by myself to go by

922
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: myself to fly to LA buy my solo one ticket

923
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: to go to the show. And when I get out

924
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 1: there on Saturday morning, I'm going to fulfill my quest

925
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: of going and finding the spawn Ranch where the Manson

926
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: family lived in the old western movie ranch set where

927
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: they all lived during the the Manson Murders, where the

928
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: family was living before they went to Barker Ranch. And

929
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: then I might try to find Barker Ranch as well.

930
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: Which of those two aspects, me going solo or me

931
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: seeking out spawning Barker Ranch is more bizarre?

932
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 3: Well, okay, yeah, you took me on a ride here.

933
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 3: I was thinking, like, wow, this is so beautiful.

934
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 6: You're gonna be able to experience oasis.

935
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, picturesque steady now is that?

936
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 6: And I've got your nightmares and the Manson family rolling

937
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 6: through my head. So I think it's really cool, even

938
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 6: if it's a solo trip. I think you right, those

939
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 6: are eight it's a concert, especially from Ryford, or really

940
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 6: such a I don't know, for lack of a better word,

941
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 6: magical kind of experience. Even though you're there by yourself,

942
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 6: you're going to be with so many people who are

943
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 6: just like a good piece of humanity that's not really

944
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 6: there by yourself.

945
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: I probably should not tell any of them that previously

946
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: in the day I went and found the Spawn and.

947
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 6: Barbara say that would probably be the only situation that

948
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 6: arises where you could be isolated out of people.

949
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: Are Are you an Oasis fan?

950
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 6: I can't claim to be a huge Oasis fan, maybe

951
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 6: a little bit like Steph White in your conversation with

952
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 6: her a week or two ago, where I have an appreciation,

953
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 6: but I do have to like your like yourself. I

954
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 6: have some other friends who are huge fans, friendly with

955
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:41,479
Speaker 6: a guy.

956
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 3: Who's actually a sports talk radio host as well, who.

957
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 6: Similarly went over there to uh across the Pond to

958
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 6: see a show, and I thought he had a great

959
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 6: recap of it and thought it was like a life

960
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 6: changing experience faith and just like restoring faith in humanity.

961
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 3: The play by play.

962
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 6: Guy for the Baltimore Orioles on TV, Kevin brand. I

963
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 6: think his bio here on Twitter and that he is

964
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 6: the world's biggest Oasis fan. He's a friend of mine,

965
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 6: So I, yes, you know, I've got some time here

966
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 6: on these road trips.

967
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: I got to start. I gotta look in this more Oasis.

968
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'll send you a playlist. They're fabulous,

969
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: They're absolutely fabulous. What do we guestimate is the return

970
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 1: date for Caitlin Clark? And I want to be clear,

971
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: John Nolan, the radio play by play voice, I'm not

972
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: putting you in the position here of speaking for the franchise.

973
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: This is strictly prognostication. But when you look at the schedule,

974
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: Eddie and I have touched in the fact that you know,

975
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: she's like, look, we've got to get her acclimated to

976
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: practices before we then go in the game situation. Based

977
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: on that, it would seem to me like the seventeenth,

978
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: when they have five days to prepare, would be a

979
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of a nice soft landing spot. But is that

980
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: stretching it too far?

981
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 3: Right?

982
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 6: So, actually, I think they have a game on the

983
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 6: seventeenth on the road, and then there's the five days

984
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 6: off of the twenty second.

985
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So the twenty second winks.

986
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So yeah, think what you're saying there is

987
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 6: a logical I think there's been some reporting like yesterday

988
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 6: in Seattle, Caitlin had an individual workout since there wasn't

989
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 6: a team practice before that afternoon game. So I think,

990
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 6: you know, that sort of seems to be a stepping stone.

991
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 3: So like the.

992
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 6: Individual workouts and then trying to be reintegrated into the

993
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 6: team workouts, you know, as long as she's feeling well.

994
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 3: So I think you're I here.

995
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 6: I am with you on on the logic and reason.

996
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 6: And I guess one other factor to consider now though,

997
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 6: is like they definitely don't need a rusher, right, I

998
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 6: mean the team here.

999
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 3: Is one five in a row.

1000
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: If that plays into it, right.

1001
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 6: Right, I think they already were at a position where

1002
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 6: you know, they got to have the long term vision

1003
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 6: and you know, not rush at all regardless, but it

1004
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 6: certainly helps, right Uh. Now you don't have to have

1005
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 6: any kind of you know, outside influence of feeling. You're like,

1006
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 6: let's say, all of a sudden, this was going south

1007
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 6: the other way and now you're fighting just to make

1008
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 6: the playoffs. Yeah, it's going to be kind of human

1009
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 6: nature for everyone to maybe uh feel some pressure, but

1010
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 6: as stands now, that would not.

1011
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: Be the case.

1012
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, their continued streak here with Aliah Boston of

1013
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: double doubles. I think she had sixteen to twelve last night.

1014
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: She has been a model of consistency for the fever,

1015
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: John Nolan. Are they prioritizing feeding Aliah Boston or is

1016
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: Aliah Boston getting her points and scheming within the offense

1017
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: almost as a byproduct of other stuff going on around her?

1018
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, I think you hit on it there.

1019
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 6: They certainly there. They're not forcing the ball to anyone,

1020
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 6: and a game the game, you're going to see different,

1021
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 6: you know, just to th off the personnel that the

1022
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 6: other team had. I think you were talking about this

1023
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 6: with Steph recently, right, how Like the WNBA has evolved,

1024
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 6: and so game the game you're you're looking at unique

1025
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 6: matchups and unique styles, and so I think this team

1026
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 6: just done a good job shown that they can adapt.

1027
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 6: I mean, yesterday was a grinded out game in the seventies.

1028
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 6: Going back one of their wins here in this streak

1029
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 6: last week at home against Phoenix, one of the highest

1030
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 6: scoring the franchise history. Both teams, uh clips thing one

1031
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 6: hundred points, So you know, I think they're able to uh,

1032
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 6: you know that one where they probably would have liked

1033
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 6: to have played better defense there. They don't necessarily want

1034
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 6: to be giving up one hundred plots, but you know,

1035
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 6: showing that they can adapt. And you have a player

1036
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 6: like a Leah who even over the course of a game,

1037
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 6: in that one against Phoenix, she was held in check

1038
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 6: for a few quarters and then boom erupted in the fourth. So, uh,

1039
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 6: they're gonna just relax. Of a better description, maybe you're

1040
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 6: just like go with the flow with whoever's you know,

1041
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 6: whoever's night or whoever's quarter, even based off what they're

1042
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 6: what they're seeing from the defense they're taking advantage of.

1043
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: And you you've burned the midnight oil tonight Fever and

1044
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: La ten o'clock tip, right, that's tomorrow night. Is it

1045
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow night? Tomorrow night? So you burn them tomorrow night.

1046
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: I will be in then on Thursday night as well,

1047
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,479
Speaker 1: when they're in Phoenix at ten o'clock. So it's West

1048
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: Coast games man. I love that. I love the West

1049
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: Coast games. Again, Fever and Action at LA Tomorrow night.

1050
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: That is a ten o'clock tip locally. Eddie will have

1051
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: the pre postgame. John will be on the radio call

1052
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: for it. When you look at it, John, as we

1053
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of head down towards the final stretch of the

1054
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: season here, and I know, record wise, I mean you

1055
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: talk about Minnesota, for example, who would you say, in

1056
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: terms of the style of play or the personnel of play,

1057
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: is the one that most gives Indiana fits despite what

1058
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:24,760
Speaker 1: the records may indicate.

1059
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 3: It's a good question. I would say potentially.

1060
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 6: New York when they're healthy, and currently Brianna Stewart is

1061
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 6: out for them right now. But New York is it

1062
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 6: looks like the biggest juggernaut in the league, like they

1063
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 6: probably I would say have the highest ceiling, even higher

1064
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 6: than Minnesota, despite the fact that Minnesota is in first,

1065
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 6: because New York just can be overwhelming. Especially they just

1066
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 6: got Emma Misiman, who is a former Finals MVP and

1067
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 6: All Star who had been out of the WNBA playing

1068
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 6: over in Europe the last couple of years. She just

1069
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 6: made her Liberty debut yesterday, and that's adding more size

1070
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 6: to them, because I would say they're at least earlier

1071
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 6: in the season, there were some situations or if teams

1072
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 6: were playing two posts at the same time. And the thirdly,

1073
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 6: team Atlanta is the one that comes to mind here

1074
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 6: because they got Britney Grinder and Bree Jones. We had

1075
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 6: multiple players there at six' five and. Taller The fever

1076
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 6: don't necessarily have that kind of. Size but then Yet

1077
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 6: New york And atlanta for that, matter they have some

1078
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 6: some stop shooting guards as, Well Lake Sabrina yonescu in
