1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, everyone, and welcome into a Wednesday edition of

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: To the Fan Morning Show. Still victory week, We're gonna

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: enjoy this for another ten days or so, as the

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts still have the best record in the NFL

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: at eight and two and fresh off the plane from Berlin, Germany,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: the one the only James Boyd of the Athletic in

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one on something five of the Fan.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: How much German did you learn when you were over there?

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: What can you do? Like basic phrases? Can you order coffee?

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: What can you do?

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: No?

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't drink coffee, and no, I can't say any phrases.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: They had a lot of English signs out there for

14
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: your boy, and that's what I stuck to make sure

15
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: I didn't get lost.

16
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 4: Oh, McDonald's, is this one here?

17
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 5: I go?

18
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: I will say I did not came and get McDonald's

19
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: or like had a KFC out there. But the last

20
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: night I walked from my hotel to another hotel to

21
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: get some fried chicken wings and they were amazing.

22
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: So I had to.

23
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Find something that was good for my stomach German food.

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: I tried a lot of it, and like I said,

25
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: when I left the first time. Uh, there's only so

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: many things I wanted to try.

27
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 4: If I gotta find something else to you know, soothe

28
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: the soul.

29
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Well, at least you tried. I like that. Was there

30
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: anything anything German food related that you really liked? Like, Man,

31
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: this is good. I could I could get down with this.

32
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: I forget what it's called. I think it's d o

33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: n e r a donor kebab. There we go it.

34
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it's like a Turkish dish. But like

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: they've they have some of that h culture in Germany.

36
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: So I had one of those, grabbed one from like

37
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: a little place and was walking around eating it, and

38
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: so I didn't want to miss anything. So it was

39
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: a good trip. Hard getting out there, but I think

40
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: I made up for it by standing extra days.

41
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: Sight seeing thing you saw to Berlin Wall or anything

42
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 4: you go to Berlin Wall.

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 3: The Berlin Wall was cool, but sad, honestly, just because

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: all the history related to it. The coolest part was

45
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: seeing the parts they repainted with all these messages about

46
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: unity and peace and love. But they also have you know,

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: so many memorials for people that died at the Berlin Wall,

48
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: or you know, just because of the holocol things that

49
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: happened during that time as well, And so it's a

50
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: good perspective to gain being out there, because you're reminded,

51
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: it's in your face, just how different the world was,

52
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, eighty years ago, so that was,

53
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, a unique experience.

54
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: And then I was at one of the coolest places

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: I went.

56
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: I had a chance to visit a couple of museums,

57
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: so that was cool and honestly, again just learning all

58
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: about how the world looked and how they kind of

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: survived those times.

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: On a boat cruise as well, like through the.

61
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: City, so they showed us all the different buildings and

62
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: the guy who was doing the tour was speaking in

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: English and in German.

64
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: He was switched back and forth. I thought that was

65
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: really cool.

66
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: And honestly, I'm like, oh, this guy must be really

67
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: smart because he speaks English, probably better than me, and

68
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: then he seeks German obviously a lot better than me.

69
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: So it was a good time, all right.

70
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: One other question before I get to the real good

71
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: questions here. Did you remember your electricity adapter, your little

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: plug and adapter?

73
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and shout out to me, yeah, shout out to me,

74
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: because without me, Joey Ericson might not even filed his

75
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: story for Indy Starr. He got to that game and

76
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: he was like, yo, I forgot my adapt I said,

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: I got you, my boy, you know, come on, come.

78
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: On, love bro, I got you. But no, it was

79
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: good to.

80
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: Obviously help him out and then try to make sure

81
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 3: that we remember all the things we needed because yeah,

82
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: those plugins are a little bit different over there.

83
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: Yep. All right, Now here's my real question. Could you

84
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: feel the sense of history when you got into the

85
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: stadium knowing that all those years ago, gosh would have

86
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: been almost ninety years ago now that Jesse Owens did

87
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: his thing at the thirty six Berlin Olympic Games in

88
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: front of you know, everybody that we know now that

89
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm just not even going to talk about. But yeah,

90
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: do you what was it like? Could you feel that

91
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: could just sense it? Did they have any kind of

92
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: homage to those games? What was going on there?

93
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

94
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely? And I have a question here on the guys,

95
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: how are the ladies all across the world?

96
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: You know?

97
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: But as far as the more serious topics, yeah, they

98
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: had like a concrete slab on on the side of

99
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: one of the walls inside the I didn't even know

100
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: how to pronounce it, because like olymp how you see

101
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: an Olympic d'sti end or something like that. But anyways,

102
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: inside the venue, they have a basically a wall for

103
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: all the past victors of the Olympic Games that were there,

104
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: and so you saw Jesse Owen's name on there for

105
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: the four gold medals he won nineteen thirty six, during

106
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: the height of Nazi Germany and during the height of

107
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 3: Hitler's power. So that was really cool to see and

108
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: something that I don't think, for granted as a young

109
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: black man in my career, and you think about all

110
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: the opportunities I have now that were not existent back then.

111
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: So that was something that really resonated and I was

112
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: I made sure to take a picture of that.

113
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: I send it back to my family and tell them like, hey,

114
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: here's where I'm at.

115
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: Hey can you get you got to send me that

116
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: picture too. I want to see that one man. That's cool, Yes, sir,

117
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I like that, all right. So then the game starts

118
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: and at some point in time Chadan Taylor just takes

119
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: over and I know that everybody here has been concerned

120
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: with the offensive line in terms of pass protection and

121
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: what Daniel Jones has been doing with protecting the football.

122
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: But we got to give that offensive line some credit.

123
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean JT the long touchdown run was pretty much him.

124
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: He bounces it out after getting nothing in the middle.

125
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: But overall, was that all just JT taking over? Were

126
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: there some pretty good moments for the offensive line?

127
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: I thought there were some good moments, and I thought

128
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: there were some bad moments. If I'm being honest. You know,

129
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: the run blocking is not something we can really nitpick

130
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: at anytime. A guy goes for what was it, two

131
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: forty four and he probably should have had two forty

132
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: six to forty.

133
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: Seven if you remember that.

134
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: I think it was a second or third down run

135
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: in the first quarter where they marked him very short.

136
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 3: We were all in the stadium and I'm sure there

137
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: folks back home or watching the broadcast like what the

138
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: heck happened? And Shane basically told us that he believes

139
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: the refs looked at the knee of Tanna Bordelini rather

140
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: than JT's.

141
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: So his history historic day two forty four probably should

142
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: have been ABOUNDO forty two forty seven.

143
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: So the run blocking was great, pass blocking not so

144
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: great to have Daniel Jones run for his life throughout

145
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: that game. Seven sacks most he's taken this season, twelve

146
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: sacks are the last two games. As you all pointed

147
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: out earlier this week, that will not cut it as

148
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: far as trying to get the best version of Daniel Jones,

149
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: because I do think he's getting a little bit more

150
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: jittery in the pocket, held on to the ball a

151
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: couple times too long. But I can't again put that

152
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 3: all on him. So I do think that the narrative

153
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: is going to be coming out of the bye week

154
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: going into Kansas City is what kind of version of

155
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones will you get? Did the bye week help

156
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: you clean up some of that stuff or are some

157
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: of those old habits reforming where he doesn't trust his

158
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: offensive line fully and because of that, the turnovers are

159
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: going to creep up.

160
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Well, the one thing is they got out of Berlin

161
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: with a win. They are eight and two, They got

162
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: a victory over the Falcons. They still have the best record,

163
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: tied for the best record in the AFC. But because

164
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: they have a better record than either New England or

165
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Denver within the AFC, there's still the number one seed

166
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: so going into the second half of the season, I

167
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: still don't think. I know that people are still really

168
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: worried and they should be about after the Pitts Per

169
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: game and the way Daniel Jones didn't really protect the

170
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: ball much better against Atlanta. I get all that, but

171
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: you can't this team. You have to give him an

172
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: A minus for the first half of the season, don't you.

173
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.

174
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: I mean, being eight and two first in the league

175
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: and not only the conference or the division that deserves

176
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: an A rating.

177
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: But I'm greedy. I'm looking at all the little.

178
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: Flaws that could come back to bite you, one of

179
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: them being the offensive line as of late. One of

180
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: them being your kicker being short on a fifty three

181
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: yard kick. I mean, you can miss, but I mean

182
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: he was very very short. That was a little bit alarming, Like, man,

183
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: if you get in that situation again, can you even

184
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: trust he's going to get the ball?

185
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: There?

186
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: Missed an extra point. Now, granted he has he had

187
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: a pretty good year overall.

188
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: Think he's only missed one field goal attempt, and then

189
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: he's only missed like two extra points, So it's not

190
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: super crazy, but it is something to kind of creepers

191
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: at the.

192
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: Back of my mind a little bit.

193
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say the vibes are still much

194
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: higher for the Colton it is for the Pacers who

195
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: lost again last night.

196
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: What are you think of our new edition in the

197
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: secondary playing on just a couple of days practice. What

198
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: were your thoughts there on Saliz Gardner.

199
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: I thought it was very good until the two point

200
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: conversion where he got cooked by Drake London. I know

201
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: people were all in my mentions on Twitter like, oh

202
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: my gosh, I see what you're doing. You're already picking

203
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: against the new guy. It's like, no, he would tell

204
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: you I got worked over in that rep, and hey,

205
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: people tell me something that's like obvious, Oh this is

206
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: Oh he slipped down, Oh he got tripped, Oh this,

207
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: And we don't care if you're an opponent, if this

208
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: happened in reverse, you would not give two bleeps about

209
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: what happened to the Falcons defender if it were Alec

210
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: Pierce or Josh Down's catching a touchdown pass. So why

211
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: would I ever feel in you differently in that two

212
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: point conversion? But other than that, I thought it I

213
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: was standing. I think it's gonna add to the excitement

214
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 3: they've had with this group, because in my opinion, if

215
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: you get Mooney war back in there, you're gonna have

216
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: a really elite secondary. He actually made the trip to

217
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: Germany as well, as I mentioned, I believe when I

218
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 3: joined you all on Monday. So that's a guy who

219
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: is excited to get back out there. Seems eager to

220
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: get back out there. So maybe he returns in week

221
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: twelve at Kansas City.

222
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was a nice debut for guy. Again,

223
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: this is a guy that literally had about a day

224
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: and a half of practice, jump on a plane, go

225
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: to Berlin, start play. I know there's one play he'd

226
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: like back. Probably he'd like a chance to get that

227
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: interception back again. And I hope people talk about the

228
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: two point version conversion, and yes, people were complaining about

229
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the two point failing. But I also saw a really

230
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: nice clip somebody put together of a lot of plays

231
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: he had in coverage where he was just blanketing whoever

232
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: he was covering.

233
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: Man.

234
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: There were a lot of plays like that. He's a

235
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: special player, so that was a lot of fun. So

236
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. James is back from Berlin. Mark

237
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: is back on the other side of the console. Today

238
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: you missed it that Mark made his bid for your

239
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: job over the last couple of days, and and Callen

240
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: went for Caleb went for his.

241
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: Was rocking and wrong.

242
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: I got a lot of great reviews for our left

243
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: town Mark, how great you wors And this didn't happen

244
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: when I was missing?

245
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 4: Okay, I through the alley, yop.

246
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: He came in with slam dunk and after that, Hey,

247
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: if you get a win by yourself, Mark, well so you.

248
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 4: Broath someone conveniently still missing. So I think if anyone's

249
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: job is you know, on the rocks out Dody Boa.

250
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: You hear all those live endorsements, he does never know. Yeah,

251
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere right now.

252
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 4: Well, everybody's replaceable, right.

253
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up at a moment, we will talk

254
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the Pacers and TJ McConnell

255
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: back last night. Did it help what? Did it help anything?

256
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: It helped me go to bed after the third quarter.

257
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. We'll talk about it next. Ninety

258
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: three five and one seven five fan, Happy Wednesday morning,

259
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: It's hump day. James Boyd. This back from Berlin. Kevin

260
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: Bowen another day off for maternity, I should say paternity

261
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: leave helping his wife who's on maternity leave. You missed

262
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: the birth of Nelly while you were gone. Man, how

263
00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: about that?

264
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: Shout out to Nelly?

265
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: All right, shout out to uh well, TJ Mcconnolly came

266
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: back last night. It didn't help much for the Pacers. TJ,

267
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: after missing mostly the first month with a hamstring injury,

268
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: did play eleven minutes last night against the Utah Jazz.

269
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Scored twelve points, but the Pacers just got behind the

270
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: eight ball after the early minutes of the second quarter

271
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: and never recovered one fifty two to one twenty eight.

272
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: Utah gets the win Lori Market and led with thirty

273
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: five points. But James, they gave up one hundred and

274
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: fifty two points.

275
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're one of the worst teams in

276
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: the league right now. That's just the reality of the situation.

277
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: And boyd who things feel so different than eighty had

278
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: a few months ago.

279
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Not only they give up one hundred and

280
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: fifty two points, but they've only got one win this year.

281
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: They are one to ten winless on the road. Utah

282
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: scored the fourth most points in franchise history last night.

283
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: Pacers were led by Pascal Siakam with twenty seven, Andrew

284
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: Nemhard with twenty five, and everybody was a little fired

285
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: up because it was a more workable starting five last night.

286
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Then we saw the last couple of games, but still

287
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: nothing great. Still nothing great.

288
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 6: No.

289
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: I believe that is the sixth time that they've given

290
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: up one hundred and fifty points in regulation in seven times,

291
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: seventh time overall in team history. So you know, the

292
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: papers have been around for quite a while, and we're

293
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 3: giving up points like that, it is very hard to win.

294
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: And they weren't even close to winning last night.

295
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: No, they weren't. And they actually got out to a

296
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: twenty to ten lead at one point in time, and

297
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: then it was that was the end of it. It

298
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: was over, and it was over quickly. So they have

299
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: now lost five games in a row and they will

300
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: play again at Phoenix to finish up a four game

301
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: road trip. That'll be tomorrow night, nine pm tip off,

302
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: eight thirty airtime here at ninety three five and one

303
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: on seven five the Fan. And in case you're wondering,

304
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: this was the starting five for last night's game. And

305
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I know you were wondering about this. James Isaiah Jackson

306
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: started at senator, Jerris Walker, Jeremiah Robinson, Earl, Tony Bradley,

307
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Demhart, Aeronismith. I'm sorry Walker did not make the start,

308
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: but other than that, that was your starting five last night.

309
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

310
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: Not what you probably signed up for coming into the season.

311
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: But they're fighting, they're scratching their lawn and you know

312
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: they won't lay down. It's just a lot of times

313
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: I believe they're at a talent disparity. And it doesn't

314
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: matter who you're facing in the NBA. If you don't

315
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: have a rotation players playing big minutes for you. In

316
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: no disrespect to the guys that they've had out there fighting,

317
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: it's hard to win games. And you see what star

318
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: power gets you in this league, and last night, the

319
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: start of the game had to be lower marketing.

320
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was definitely shooting. Also, they got a little

321
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: help from their rookie too. Ace Bailey last night was

322
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: on fire from three point range for a while. He

323
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: finished four of eight, seven to thirteen from than they

324
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: ever do ye twenty points, Yeah, that I think Rick

325
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: said afterwards. He was a little disappointed in the defense

326
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred and fifty two points, but.

327
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they should say that.

328
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: All right, they are one and sent better news closer

329
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: to home here up at heinkle Field House. It was

330
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: Butler in ninety eight sixty six victory over Chicago State

331
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Finley Bisjack had twenty two points, eighteen of them in

332
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: the first half, six assists, And how about Michael Lajaii

333
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: He had ten points and eleven rebounds for the Bulldogs.

334
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: They will play again later this week against Texas. Also

335
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Milwaukee at Indiana tonight. That one starts at seven pm

336
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: early returns. Pretty nice so far for coach Devrees and

337
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: what the Hoosiers have going on there.

338
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: They've looked okay, yeah, this is my first time I

339
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: think having a chance to sit down and really watch them,

340
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: so excited to check that out. I've seen bits and

341
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: pieces of their offense, and honestly, when they do like

342
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: the non conference I'm sorry, not non conference like the

343
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: scrimmages and things like that, I'm not too locked in

344
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: when it comes to those matchups, just because I feel

345
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: like they're not on the same level of competition.

346
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: But this one should be a good one for sure.

347
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just didn't know what to expect with so

348
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: many new guys and a new system and a new

349
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: coach and everything else is almost feels like a complete

350
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: It is really a completely brand new team from what

351
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: we've had down there.

352
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: So knock top more kit.

353
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: So see what happens in Bloomington later on tonight. Tomorrow,

354
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: of course, second ranked Purdue will take on Alabama, a

355
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: battle of two top ten teams, and this is a

356
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: great test for pre do They had that early exhibition

357
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: game where they lost to Kentucky and they are the

358
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: second ranked team in the country now and they'll get

359
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: a big test right out of the gate here.

360
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be a huge game. And I

361
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: respect Matt Painter for always scheduling these kind of matchups

362
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: throughout the season.

363
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: And the hope there is that.

364
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: And only do you win, but even if you don't,

365
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: it prepares you for what you might see later on

366
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: when you have to make that push an ECA tournament.

367
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as college football is concerned, the second

368
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: College Football Playoff rankings came out yesterday. Indiana maintains their

369
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: spot at number two, and people are starting to get

370
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: upset that A and M is not number two, that

371
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: they're number three. Were listening to Chris Canty on ESPN

372
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: radio earlier this morning. Everybody thinks Ohio State should be

373
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: number one whatever. But they're making the case that A

374
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: and M has just blown out everybody that's been in

375
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: their way. But I don't know, man, Indiana, the two

376
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: times that they have been pushed on the road, they

377
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: found a way with a little bit of magic late

378
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: in the game to come up with victories, first at

379
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Iowa and then of course this past weekend when they

380
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: put it together against Penn State. Yeah.

381
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: I mean, people are always going to complain about where their

382
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: team or their conference should be ranked. But the bottom

383
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: line is, as long as the Hoosiers don't lose, they

384
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: have a great chance of being a great spot going

385
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: to the college football playoff. And I think they kind

386
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: of needed the matchup that they had last week. They

387
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: hadn't really had like the gutsy, you know, chin check

388
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: at the end of the game sort of moment, and

389
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: they showed up again. So I think that kind of

390
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: shows you how great of a team they are, because

391
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: in sports, you're not gonna blow out every single team

392
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: most most of the time. I mean, not every team

393
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: can be like the LSU Tigers with Joe Burrow and

394
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: you know, Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson. But nevertheless, the

395
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: win is a win and they found a way to

396
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: do that in a variety of ways this year, which

397
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: is a lot different than we've ever talked about IU football.

398
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: One of the things I like three road games that

399
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: they have had adversity. Right, there was a tough game

400
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: at Iowa said, it's always tough to play there. I

401
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: don't know why, but it is. But they found a

402
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: way to get it done at the end. They had

403
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: the pick six against Oregon and they just got right

404
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: up off the mat and dominated the game after that.

405
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Then they go to Penn State, they fall behind in

406
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they get the ball back with you know,

407
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: time running down, just a couple of minutes to go.

408
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: They march eighty yards the length of the field, they

409
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: score the touchdown. Amazing catch and then you were around

410
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: did you did you get to see highlights of that

411
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: catch over there in Berlin?

412
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll pull it up on my phone, like I

413
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: told you, so, I was locked in all right.

414
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like the fact that every time they

415
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: faced adversity on the road, they have find a way

416
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: to take it off the mat and get it done.

417
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: So We'll find out what happens as they move forward here,

418
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: but they are still second in the latest College Football

419
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: Playoff rankings. Also, the Colts continue to rest and get healthy.

420
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: They're on a by at eight and two. They have

421
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: the top record in the AFC, Jovan Taylor leading the

422
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: league in yards rushing at eleven hundred and thirty nine.

423
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Put this into perspective. Through this ten games, he's two

424
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards ahead over the second place James Cook,

425
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: and three hundred and fifty one yards ahead of Rico Dawdle,

426
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: who's in third in terms of in the NFL. I

427
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: mean he is tearing it up James Boyd.

428
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the best player in the world.

429
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: If you go pound for pound, position for position, there

430
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: has not been anybody better than Jonathan Taylor. I do

431
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: think when it comes to the MVP conversation, the one

432
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: quarterback that is starting to creep up a lot in

433
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: the conversation to me is probably Matthew Stafford. I think

434
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: he's got twenty one touchdown passes and two picks and

435
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: they're rolling right now out there in LA. So I'm

436
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 3: thinking of his career and he's an older guy and

437
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: been a great player, big resume, probably a future Hall

438
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: of Famer. Would that help him in those conversations down

439
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: the stretch if these two are neck and neck. But nevertheless,

440
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: JT is making a strong push to say, hey, whatever

441
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: position I play.

442
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: I deserve this award, and it's hard to argue with him.

443
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: You look at all the numbers and the line I

444
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: wrote my story was that he's probably the best running

445
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: back to Coats have ever had, and that is saying

446
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: a lot when you think of the names that they

447
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: have had in this building. When it comes to Edwin James,

448
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: Eric Dickerson, you know, Lenny Moore, Marshall.

449
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: Folk played here as well.

450
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, he was pretty good.

451
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, and I get to.

452
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: Some of them weren't like at the peak of their

453
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: powers for all of their career here. But still the

454
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: resume seats for itself. I mean, the guy is very special.

455
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: Third or two hundred yard rushing game I believe he

456
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: had over there in Berlin, which is more.

457
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 4: Than every other Colts player combined.

458
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: Ever, so he's how good he was On Sunday.

459
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: To Drake Mayham, sorry, yes, favorite right.

460
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: People like and those sports writers who they like their

461
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: shiny new new objects, and he is definitely that and

462
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: he's right there with him. But I was going to say,

463
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: if you take away the eighty three yard touchdown run,

464
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: he still had one hundred and sixty one yards rushing.

465
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: He's a special dude, man, it'll make him like JT.

466
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: No, they don't. All right, there was one big note

467
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: outside of our area that we were kind of having

468
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: fun at his expense yesterday. But I don't know if

469
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: he was listening to the show Mark, I don't know

470
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: if the Mavericks owners were listening to the show. But

471
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: not long after we got off the air and we

472
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: were kind of goofing on Ico Harrison, he got fired

473
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas.

474
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 4: I mean, why wouldn't they been listening Powerhouse of the

475
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 4: mid Markets. So they should have definitely been listening.

476
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: Listen to Mark Dyton.

477
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nico Harrison, boy, he didn't do himself any favors

478
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 4: out in Dallas. Not only did you launch Nico to La,

479
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: but or Luca to La but you uh yeah forget

480
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: yeah trophicsly in Berlin.

481
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: But the night before obviously, uh, Dallas played a couple

482
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: of games, but the night before last, even though the

483
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Mavericks won and their number one overall pick Cooper Flag

484
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: had twenty six points. The entire fourth quarter of the

485
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: crowd was just chanting fire Nico. Yeah.

486
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 3: I mean they've been doing that for a month now,

487
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: but it's never stopped. No, and he got fired, so

488
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: they got they watched all right, So.

489
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: You sing boo or boo Earns, Yeah, I would sing boo.

490
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: In bigger news related to the Colts in our market,

491
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter out for the year due to surgery and

492
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: his LCL. Honestly, I didn't even that was a thing.

493
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that was a ligament in your knee.

494
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: But he will not be playing for the rest of

495
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: the year and lateral click. That is something to keep

496
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: in mind considering the Colts still have two matchups against

497
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: the Jaguars this year.

498
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll find out how that affects them, because, uh,

499
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought he was really starting to

500
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: come on. I think he was. He was ready to

501
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: have that a lot of wide receivers the last five

502
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: six games of their rookie year, the good ones really

503
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: start to kind of find themselves. It looked like the

504
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: last two games that he had played he was starting

505
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: to find himself. A little bit, so feel bad for him,

506
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: but maybe that's a break for the Colts moving forward.

507
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: Anything else you guys want to throw in, any other

508
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: tidbits from Berlin you want to drop?

509
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: Nope, that is all I had.

510
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in a moment, we will talk

511
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the Colts and what they

512
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: are facing in the second half of the season. The

513
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: Pacers continue to struggle last night and they're already starting

514
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: to talk Mark about lottery. We'll speak about it next

515
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: to ninety three five and one of seven to five

516
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: to fan. Well, the good thing is, James, what you

517
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: missed the really cold weather in the snow while you

518
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: were gone. It's gonna be a little bit nicer today.

519
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: So you got that working in your favorite come But

520
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: what was the What was the November weather like over

521
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: in Berlin?

522
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't too bad to me. I want to say.

523
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: It was about forty eight to maybe fifty five, like

524
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: fifty five during the day, maybe forty high forties that night.

525
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: But I was walking a lot. Somebody was always moving,

526
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: got a lot of steps in in Berlin. So yeah,

527
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: I had no complaints about the weather at all. I

528
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: saw the weather back here and I was definitely glad

529
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: to get the extra day out there.

530
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the coltson and what we

531
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: seen in the first half of the season. Look at

532
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: it collectively. They were a steam rolling offense up until

533
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, and obviously they got stonewall by that

534
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: defensive front. They lost that game. They had some problems

535
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones the last couple of games now had

536
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: some problems holding on to the football. Where's this offense

537
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: at as they get ready to start the second half

538
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: of the season a week from Sunday in Kansas City.

539
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: Where do you think it is? Because I feel like.

540
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: I'm confident in their ability to score because even like

541
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: a bad game kind of with the Falcons until the

542
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: very end with the walk off JT touchdown, you end

543
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: up with thirty one points on the scoreboard. So I

544
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: feel like they can roull out of bed and probably

545
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: get you about twenty seven to thirty. But like I said,

546
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: and that offensive line, I don't know if I feel

547
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: the way Shane Steiken feels when he said he doesn't

548
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: think it's like a big his level, he was act

549
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: his level of concern about the offensive line.

550
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 4: He said, there's not a high level of concern me.

551
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: There is because I just think that that's the one

552
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: thing that could rattle Daniel Jones in this version we've

553
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: seen of him, is this fear that he's going to

554
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: get hit, and so we've seen some of the old

555
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 3: ways sorry to pop back up over the last couple

556
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: of games.

557
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 4: Now.

558
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 3: I don't want to completely dismiss or we're witnessing from him,

559
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: because I thought he was very gritty, very tough at

560
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: the end of that game against the Falcons, had the

561
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: bloody mouth, and he's probably gonna be a mean because of.

562
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: That because it look like lipstick.

563
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 3: The way the guy was trying to, you know, get

564
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: himself together, but he showed up when it mattered. At

565
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: the most is just that you don't want to continue

566
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: to put your quarterback in those business that have to

567
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: be clutch or you know, kind of superhuman late to

568
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 3: mitigate some of the other things that perhaps, you know,

569
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: I think bigger red flags for you. So that's me.

570
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: It's probably what stands out, Jeff. But you know what

571
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: do you think as far as the offense goes right now?

572
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna see a lot more stacked boxes

573
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: right now. They're going to force Daniel Jones to kind

574
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: of prove himself all over again like he did the

575
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: first five, six, seven weeks of the season. They're gonna

576
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: come into this game other opposing defenses knowing that Jonvin

577
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: Taylor is the guy that can really kill you at

578
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: any moment in time, so you're gonna have to really

579
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: account for him. They still have a tremendous group of

580
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I mean, Alex Pierce continues to come up

581
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: with big catches, the tough catch when you need it,

582
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: always there for Michael Pittman, Junior, Josh Downs gets his

583
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: moments there and Tyler Warren I thought, had a nice

584
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: game in Berlin, and he was another big reason that

585
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: they found success. I worry a little bit. I said

586
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I don't think you make a change. I

587
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: don't think you bring in guys for tryout yet, but

588
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a little concerned. In an era

589
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: and an age and a year specifically in which we're

590
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: seeing routinely sixty sixty three are seventy yards sixty eight

591
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: yard attempts where kickers are making those, I'm a little

592
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: bit worried that you have a guy now doesn't have

593
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: a ton of experience, that's missed a couple of extra

594
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: points and now can't get it done from fifty four

595
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: yards that which seems to be hey, look I get

596
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: it if you miss it left or right, but you've

597
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: got to be able to get it there at this

598
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: point in time. Those are the concerns I have. What's

599
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: this defense going to look like in the second half

600
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: of the year. I'm not worried about the secondary. That

601
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: looks good. I thought Zira Franklin had a nice performance

602
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: for the most part, certainly had a big player too

603
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: against Atlanta. And I still worry about can you put

604
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: pressure on an imposing team and they're going to get

605
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: the full gamut because Kansas City is operating on just

606
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: about full cylinder right now. You've got Patrick Mahomes, he's

607
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: got Rashi Rice, Travis Kelcey is still getting things done.

608
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: They don't have the greatest running game, but their offensive

609
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: line has been terrific. And people don't realize this. Kansas

610
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: City might have one of the top three defenses in

611
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: the NFL.

612
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: They might for sure. I think this is going to

613
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: be a test.

614
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: I said in my story after the game, you feel

615
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: a lot better going into the buy with the bounce

616
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 3: back went no matter how it looked, versus being on

617
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: the two game losing street going into Kansas City. So

618
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: I think you give yourself a bit of a cushion

619
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 3: there and not going into that game obviously think you're

620
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 3: gonna lose. But it's a big matchup, and it's one

621
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 3: that I don't think you can necessarily pencil on as

622
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: a w on paper. You got to show up in

623
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: and actually take it to the defending three time AFC champions.

624
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: But the other thing I wanted to point out, which

625
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: I think is not like an underlying issue so to speak,

626
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 3: but Alec Pierce, Mark, how much you're paying that guy?

627
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 3: Because I feel like as much as we've talked about

628
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and everybody else, every game, I just see

629
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: the checkbook, you know, getting another zero added to him.

630
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little more guaranteed money for Medie Mitchell. Not

631
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: here is insurance for you.

632
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 3: I mean, who is better right now as far as

633
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: financially are increasing their worth than Alec Pierce.

634
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: He's your deep threat. He's pretty reliable. Yeah, I mean

635
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: they have some financial dis decisions to make on this

636
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: roster season.

637
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: I was talking to a former general manager I talked

638
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: to every once in a while about a week ago,

639
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: and he's starting to raise the eyebrows of people within

640
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 1: the NFL. And this person actually said, look, he's not

641
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, He's not Jamar Chase, but this guy could

642
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: be a one a wide receiver as he gets fully

643
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: developed in the National Football League. He's got speed, he

644
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: can test you deep, and he's starting to make really

645
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: tough catches on some of the intermediate routes too. This

646
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: person believes, and I do too. I think he can

647
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: become a top flight wide receiver. Again, not quite Jamar

648
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Chase or Justin Jefferson because of the size and everything else.

649
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: But this isn't a talent Well no, but my point is,

650
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: christ he does have talent.

651
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 4: We'll say first team All pros. Yeah, but them dudes.

652
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: But my point is you have a legitimate guy that

653
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: is probably gonna he can make a huge difference in

654
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: your offensive game plan moving forward as he continues to

655
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: develop as a wide receiver.

656
00:27:59,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

657
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: I know, we got a someone on the Payless Looker's

658
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: hotline who would like to weigh in. Mark is Dave

659
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: bring Dave on, let's hear what he has to say

660
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: about these tweet twenty five colts.

661
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: Dave, you're on.

662
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 2: Good morning, gentlemen, Good morning, gentlemen.

663
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 4: How are you from you? So you know, there's been

664
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 4: a lot of talk about the O line.

665
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: Last couple of weeks, and granted they got their butt

666
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: kicked by Pittsburgh. But my concern right now is Daniel

667
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: Jones and has he gotten in his own head. He's

668
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: throwing interceptions, he's not getting the ball at as quick

669
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: as he was the first eight weeks of the season,

670
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: and he's short arming stuff. He's he's missing receivers badly,

671
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: and so I'm wondering what happened. I mean, have the

672
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: defensive seen enough that they figured it out or do

673
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: we have another issue there? And hopefully this' bye week

674
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: they get it corrected.

675
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: All right?

676
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, thanks Dave for the question. I do think that

677
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: right there is a response that I've gotten from a

678
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: lot of cold hands. It's not like, oh my gosh,

679
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: I no longer believe in my team, But old boy,

680
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: are we going to see some downward trends here in

681
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: the coming weeks after the bye and can we correct

682
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: it before then?

683
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 4: I would say two things I do think that Daniel.

684
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: I think he deserves credit for his ability to move

685
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: the ball against the Falcons. They had one of the

686
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: best pass defenses in the league, so it's not like

687
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: he was going up against scrubs or some bottom dwellers

688
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: or feeders. They are a really good unit and they

689
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: don't give up many yards through the year. So he

690
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: moved the ball pretty well. The interception you'd like to

691
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: have back the ball security I think is very concerning,

692
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: got to keep two hands on it. So I probably

693
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: a mixture of both, Dave, where you know, it is

694
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 3: partly Daniel's fault.

695
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: I can't absolve him.

696
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: When you have seven turnovers and two games, you don't

697
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: get a pass for that because your offensive line is struggling.

698
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: But at the same time, he does and certain instances

699
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: need a little bit more time to work with, which

700
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 3: I don't think he's getting. And because of the he's

701
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 3: missing some of the other things that he was just hitting,

702
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, as easy as day earlier this year. So

703
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things that they can certainly clean up,

704
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: I think in that regard, and they tell me, well, look,

705
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: we'll look to do going into the bye week.

706
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: Day appreciate the phone call, thanks very much. Check iting

707
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: on the fan text line right now. Two three nine

708
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: ten seventy. Justin writes, I think it's time to ask

709
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: some questions the Quentin Nelson, Bernard Ryeman, Braden Smith. When

710
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell messed up with the Rams game, his name was

711
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: in the news. When Josh Downs fumbled on football or

712
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: fumbled the football in Pittsburgh, his name was in the news.

713
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones fumbling the fall security, that's news. But we

714
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: only say offensive line one hundred million dollar tackle, Hall

715
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: of Famer guard and at right tackling Braden Smith. These

716
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: guys need to be il responsible by name just as

717
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: much as everybody else. And I think they'd probably tell

718
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: you maybe they did after the game. They've got to

719
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: be better, James.

720
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a.

721
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: Good point Justin makes, I will say, and I'll have

722
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: to have I'll have to actually look back at the

723
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: tape this week myself to identify, Okay, who is doing

724
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: what on each pass play, run play, things like that.

725
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: So personally, I try to assign too much blame to

726
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: the specific offensive line unless I've seen the tape myself. And

727
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: also sometimes I don't even know what I'm watching, Like Okay,

728
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: were you supposed to, you know, slide left or right.

729
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: You know, those things are a little bit above my

730
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: pay grade. But I'm actually working on a story right now,

731
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: hopefully to kind of explain why we're seeing some of

732
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: the turnovers with Daniel Jones.

733
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: We do have a film guy over at the Athletic

734
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: who's great with this stuff.

735
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Maybe I can pick his brain and kind of bring

736
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: you all that sort of perspective, because I think it's

737
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: a learning mechanism of everybody involved. But I do think

738
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: that Bernard Rayman has not been up to the level

739
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: that he needs to be to be a one hundred million

740
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: dollars left tackle. I think that that's a fair criticism.

741
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: He's had some some rougher moments this year. I'll be honest.

742
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: It is very hard for me to criticize Quentin Nelson

743
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: at all. I think that he's been fantastic. Now I

744
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: have to go back and watch again the more detailed

745
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: version of the Falcons tape to see if there's something

746
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: to sit out to me. But he's been almost the

747
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: best offensive lineman in football, I would argue, And.

748
00:31:59,240 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: Then yes, I do.

749
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: Braiden Smith has had some issues there on the edge

750
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: and you look at where that pressure is coming from.

751
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: It's coming from your guys who you really really want

752
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: to rely on and you trusted for years. I mean

753
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: Benard Ryman, Braiden Smith, those two guys on the edge.

754
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: Those are not two guys that are just walking in

755
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: here taking over starting jobs like it was Tanner Borderlini

756
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: and Matt Gonzalvez. So I'm sure Tony's Ferno Junior is

757
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: going to take a lot of blame for that. And

758
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that in a mean way. I just

759
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: know that he is a type that owns all those things.

760
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: And So again, is this a trend or is this

761
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: something you can flip or sort of reverse, because as

762
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: you pointed out, Jeff, you're not going to get a

763
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: quote unquote easier opponent come out of the by I

764
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: mean the Kansas City Chiefs. We know that what they

765
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: do and their defensive unit and Chris Jones is nobody

766
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: you can tart to ignore. So what time type of

767
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: challenges are those present? And can you be ready for

768
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: those challenges?

769
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

770
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: Going back to Alec Pierce two Jr. Just Sent me

771
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: a clip that he found on Facebook and I remembered

772
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: this on Sunday on that eighty three yard touchdown run

773
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: by Jonathan Taylor. Do you see Alec Pierce sprinting up

774
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: the field to make sure that the secondary guy from

775
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons couldn't get close to JT in the last

776
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: fifteen yards there.

777
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

778
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: I had a chance to watch that play back and

779
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 3: ask Shane about it, and Shane mentioned Monday when I

780
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: was in Berlin time actually I think it was nine

781
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: pm there and I was hopping on the zoom call

782
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: and I'm like, this is crazy, but he mentioned that

783
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: that is what separates Alec a lot of the time.

784
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: It's not just the talent through the air, being a

785
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: potential a you know, I think wide receiver one in

786
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: this league.

787
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: It's the gritty stuff.

788
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 3: It's the things that you do that don't show up

789
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: in the box score or the box sheet or whatever

790
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: you want to call it. And I think that also

791
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: endoors into his teammates because they love that dude. Everyone

792
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 3: knows if you make a play in space, whether you're

793
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: a running back or a fellow wide receiver, and Alek

794
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: Peerce is in front of you, he's going to find

795
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: somebody and put hands on him.

796
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing I like about this team. They

797
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: have guys that do the dirty who already know this

798
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: about Michael Pittman Junior. We're knowing this now and learning

799
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: this about Alec Pierce over the last couple of years.

800
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: And of course Tyler Warren. I'm not afraid of getting

801
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: anybody's way at all. I think he likes the contact.

802
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler Warren special though. He's another guy who big

803
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: plays this past week and they're going to be relied

804
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: on even more down the stretchers because I think when

805
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: you have options through the air like you do with him,

806
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: why wouldn't you trust him more with the game on

807
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: the line. Because that dude, man, I think that much.

808
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: We talked about JT and deservedly so he's an MVP candidate.

809
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: I would think that he is prob of the front

810
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 3: runner right now. I know the odds are not saying

811
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 3: so much, but I guess I'm a little biased of

812
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: the indie market and what he's doing. But on top

813
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: of that, you look at what Tyler Warren is doing,

814
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: I think that he is another all pro candidate for

815
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 3: this offense.

816
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 4: Jeff and I talked about this yesterday, James, So I

817
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 4: want to get your thoughts. But like now that they're

818
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 4: at the by they're eight and two hot, start, struggled

819
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 4: last couple games, how have your expectations changed from training

820
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 4: camp to now? Like what would be considered a disappointment

821
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 4: in your mind at this cold season? Like what is

822
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 4: where should they get to and if they don't reach that,

823
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 4: they'll be disappointed. Like for me, it's divisional round appearance

824
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, whether that's by by a wild card

825
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 4: win or you get it by and you're in there

826
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: hosting a playoff game. If like division round of the

827
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: playoffs is where my level.

828
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: Mark you are trying to thread the needle of their

829
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: brother Because if they get a divisional round, if they

830
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: get the one seed and they're automaticly a division round,

831
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: they lose, Oh boy, I cannot call that a successful

832
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: See that would hurt me because your playoffs drought as

833
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: far as ones would go and still be twenty eighteen.

834
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: So one, I'll say, you gotta win in Jacksonville. Just

835
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 3: get that off the list, you know, end that whatever

836
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 3: that is going on, that voodoo, that dark magic, whatever

837
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 3: you want to call it. But on a more serious note,

838
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: I think for me it's AFC Championship woo. Yeah, because

839
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 3: you don't make a trade like you did for Sauce Gardner.

840
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: You're all out that mindset or that opportunity. And you

841
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: also and I think a lot of it my physicians

842
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: come from what I've seen. You're eight and two and

843
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 3: you're playing good football. You beaten good teams. I know

844
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 3: some people will see strength to schedule, and I think

845
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: that's more of a college than it is for the NFL.

846
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: But you did beat some good teams this year, and

847
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: you have a chance to prove yourself even more. I think,

848
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: especially in the second half of the season with road

849
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: game at Kansas City, row game at Seattle. If you

850
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: can split one of those or win both of them.

851
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 3: If you can, you know, take it to your division opponents,

852
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 3: if you can beat San Francisco at home, like I think,

853
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: those are certainly matchups that will be I.

854
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 4: Think for the bigger audience.

855
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Those a's not Indianapolis will give you some validity when

856
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: it comes to me and it's contender, But for me,

857
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 3: it's AFC championship or nothing.

858
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: Well. One of the things that's been interesting on Sunday

859
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: as the Colts have a bye, we got you covered

860
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: here on Sunday with a double header. The first one,

861
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the Chargers and the Jaguars. And think

862
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: about this, if Jacksonville loses that game at home to

863
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers and it's you know, who knows what's going

864
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: to happen in that game, But the Colts would have

865
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: a full three game lead on Jacksonville heading into the

866
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: second half of the season. And also you've got the

867
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: other two teams. The Titans are going to be hosting

868
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: the Texan. You assume that the Texans are going to

869
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: win that one. If they do, they'd still have a

870
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: three game lead over the Texans as well.

871
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the division is yours. You can't, I mean, Scott.

872
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: To take care of some business of your own. You'll

873
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: be okay if you were.

874
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 4: If there was, everyone will.

875
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 3: But they didn't win the AFC South this year, I

876
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: would rethink everything as far as this team goes. That

877
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: would be an all time Yeah like that. Yeah, if

878
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: that happens, Lord have mercy.

879
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: So we'll have Jacksonville and the Chargers in the first

880
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: game over doubleheader, and then we have the Broncos Chiefs

881
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: and the second one, and that one all of a

882
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: sudden has implications for the Colts down the road as well.

883
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: Not only is that their next opponent of Kansas City,

884
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: but they are currently tied with Denver and New England

885
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: for the best record in the AFC. So from a

886
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: Colt's perspective, are you do you want to get rid

887
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: of Kansas City and have Denver put them in a

888
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: further hole or would you like to see Kansas City

889
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: take notch out out of the broncos here?

890
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean you got the head to

891
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 4: head over Denvi.

892
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: You don't want to.

893
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: See Kansas City in any capacity.

894
00:37:58,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: You want to get rid of them.

895
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 4: They have Patrick Mahomes. I think this is my first

896
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 4: true test for Denver too, because I'm like, I don't

897
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 4: believe this. This eight and two seems a bit fictional

898
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: to me. I told you, if you can get out,

899
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 4: if you can beat Kansas City, then okay. But all right,

900
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: all right, you made me a believer a little bit more.

901
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: I think Kansas City might take care of business and

902
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 4: then you're circling.

903
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 7: You know.

904
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 4: Next Sunday, Colts Chiefs is a huge one. By the way,

905
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: this is a perfect week to have a buye if

906
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 4: you're a Colts fan, because there are some truly good,

907
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: good games on paper this week. There are some really

908
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 4: good games at the early slate, the afternoon slate, the

909
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 4: nightcut time games. You got Bucks Bills, you got Seahawks Rams,

910
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: which would be pretty good. Chiefs, Broncos, Lions, Eagles. I

911
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 4: think there's some pretty strong games on the schedule this week.

912
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: Having said that, I think Al Michaels is already he's

913
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: already napping and complaining about the Jets at Patriots on

914
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night on AM.

915
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: To be worse, it could be Cowboys Raiders on Monday

916
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 4: night football boy ESPN and wants that YouTube TV to

917
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: re up. I don't know if you're really losing sleep

918
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 4: missing these last few Monday night games if you're a

919
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 4: YouTube TV subscriber. I think I'm dug in at this point.

920
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: I am too. I mean, like I said, we have

921
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: the ESPN apps. I've been able to watch, but I

922
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 4: ain't even tried to watch that way. I just don't

923
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 4: care anymore.

924
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I know super Bowl will not be

925
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: on ESPN, so I guess James you got there.

926
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: You got there much earlier than I did.

927
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 4: James, I was. I've been that way for like ten years.

928
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: The one thing I've been doing. I'm like, where's that

929
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: credit at Give me that thing? Yeah, you know what,

930
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: I am about to do that during the break. You

931
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 4: have to go through a ten steps to find I know,

932
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: which is ridiculous.

933
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: They don't just give it to you because whenever they

934
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: increase the prices, they don't, you know, ask you your

935
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: permission or certainly go through all the same hoops. So

936
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: I know it's a tangent. But we do have some

937
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 3: college football talk coming up, and I'm sorry, not college football,

938
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 3: college basket, college basketball talk coming up with Mike de

00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Mike de Courcia, going to stop by and talk about Purdue,

943
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: the number two team in the country, and what do

944
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: we have to look forward to for Indiana basketball. We'll

945
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: talk about it next ninety three five one on seven

Speaker 1: to five fan. That'll start you off on a Wednesday morning,

948
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: James Boyd from Berlin. We've been talking about the National

949
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: Football League, the Colts sitting there at eight and two,

950
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: but we got a lot of great college basketball and

951
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: really seasons underway now. We saw some great games around

952
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: the country last night. We saw some of the bigger

953
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: teams starting to play. We've got a couple of great

954
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: looking matchups coming up, certainly Purdue in Alabama later on

955
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: this week. And one of my favorite people and my

956
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: favorite person to talk college basketball with, joins us now

957
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: on the Payloss Liquors Hotline, the one the only, Mike

958
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: Decorsi from the Sporting News and Big Ten Network.

959
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 4: I miss having lunch with you.

960
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 7: Man.

961
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: When you coming back, Jeff.

962
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 7: It's great to talk to you. I will certainly be

963
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 7: back in early April. I can promise you that.

964
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let me know when we'll get together.

965
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 4: Mikey says that about everybody comes on the show. Man.

966
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

967
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

968
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: Mike and I have been watching college basketball together for

969
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: more than we would care to admit. Wouldn't that be true, Mike,

970
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: I will admit it.

971
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 7: It's been like we started almost twenty five years ago. Yeah,

972
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 7: I'll admit it. I'm going to share. Hey, guys, I

973
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 7: went last night to PPG Paints Arena and I saw

974
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 7: Paul McCartney rock and roll for two hours. Nearly two

975
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 7: and a half, well more than two and a half hours,

976
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 7: more than two and a half hours. So if he

977
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 7: can do that at eighty three or eighty four, I

978
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 7: can handle admitting that I'm cooping for a while.

979
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: James and Kevin trying to push me out the door already.

980
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: They're ready to go. Man, the young guys want their

981
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: their spot. It's good. I'm good with it. But now

982
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: it's great to have you on here. And hey, Purdue

983
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: had the number one preseason ranking. They went back to

984
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: number two. You know, they had the preseason loss to

985
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: Kentucky and whatever. But how good really, you've been watching

986
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: college basketballs, We've just established for a long time up

987
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: close in personal, how good could this team be this year?

988
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 6: Oh?

989
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 7: I think they can be terrific. I certainly think they're

990
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 7: Final four good. I've always questioned whether or not they

991
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 7: have quite the degree of NBA level challenge that almost

992
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 7: inevitably you will have on a national champion. My favorite stat,

993
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 7: or my most reliable stat in college basketball is that

994
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,479
Speaker 7: every team since nineteen eighty seven, and of course since

995
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 7: basically since nineteen eighty eight, the last exception was in

996
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 7: nineteen eighty seven in indianafn's will be Yeah, that was

997
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 7: US has had a number one draft choice at least

998
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 7: one in their rotation, and usually it's more than one.

999
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 7: And so that was always my concern about whether or

1000
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 7: not this Purdue team can win it. But one you

1001
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 7: can redefine that expectation. It was done in eighty seven,

1002
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 7: it could be done again. But also, if Braden Smith

1003
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 7: goes out and has the kind of year he's capable

1004
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 7: of having, there may be some one towards the you know,

1005
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 7: in the in the in the twenties that'll say, hey,

1006
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 7: that guy can that guy can make our team better.

1007
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 7: Even if he even if he never starts, he'll make

1008
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 7: our team better. And who's to say he can't start.

1009
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 7: So that's that's that's the kind of team you're looking at,

1010
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 7: a team that those are your concerns. You know, do

1011
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 7: they have a pro They certainly have enough talent to

1012
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 7: be a Big Ten champion, to be a Final four team,

1013
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 7: and then we'll see whether or not those last couple

1014
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 7: of games, if they get there, they can conquer those.

1015
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 1: Mike.

1016
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: One thing I do want to follow up in regards

1017
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: to what you just said about Purdue.

1018
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 4: Do you that they're athletic enough.

1019
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: I know they lost a bit of that with Miles Covid,

1020
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 3: who also had a poster dunk the other day, and

1021
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: then cam Heidie as well.

1022
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 7: Well, you know, they did lose that and and and

1023
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 7: Miles was certainly that kind of player, and I always hoped,

1024
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 7: after seeing him very early in his career, maybe a

1025
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 7: second or third game at Purdue, that he would develop

1026
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 7: into that player. It just didn't quite click. And I

1027
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 7: don't know how much of that as being somewhat blocked

1028
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 7: by Fletcher Lawyer. I think he did have enough opportunity,

1029
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 7: and and and so did cam Heide have enough opportunity

1030
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 7: that they could could have broken through last year, but

1031
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 7: never quite were able to do that. I think that

1032
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 7: the dynamism part is there with Jakari Harris and c. J.

1033
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 6: Cox.

1034
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 7: I think Brayden himself is dynamic. He's as quick as

1035
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 7: any player on the floor. And then then the question

1036
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 7: becomes upfront though, whether or not they're they're quick enough

1037
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 7: to be a significant defense, and I think that's I

1038
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 7: think that's one of the questions that goes into you know,

1039
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 7: sort of dovetails with that. With that enough pros conversation, Mike.

1040
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: The course he's Sporting News Big then Network, joining us

1041
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: here in the payless Lickers hotline this morning, college basketball

1042
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: is here. What do we make so far of Indiana

1043
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: and Darien DeVries really turning over an entire roster, new

1044
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: coaching staff, new coach knew everything. They certainly run the ball,

1045
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: they certainly are jacketed up from three. I know they

1046
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: got the tough part of their schedule has not even

1047
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: really started. But what do we make of them in

1048
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: early returns?

1049
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 7: Well, I think the thing that I like best about

1050
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 7: what they're doing, and I think that this is a

1051
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 7: mistake that's often made when new coaches take over, especially

1052
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 7: if they have to go out with a fresh roster,

1053
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 7: and that is you set the expectation of here's who

1054
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 7: we're going to be at our best. We're going to

1055
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 7: play like this, and even if we don't win, we're

1056
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 7: going to play like this. This was a mistake that

1057
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 7: I thought was made at Louisville in the earlier part

1058
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 7: of this decade, where there was no line drawn, even

1059
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 7: though they actually didn't have, you know, the level of

1060
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 7: talent you needed to compete in the acc they looked

1061
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 7: at it somewhat like, well, when we get our guys

1062
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 7: and we get better, then we'll be And then you

1063
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 7: can't do that. You have to say, you have to

1064
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 7: play this hard, you have to play this way, you

1065
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 7: have to you have to conform to our expectations and

1066
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 7: all of that. And I think that's the best thing

1067
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 7: that Darren has done since he's gotten to Indiana. He said,

1068
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 7: this is going to be our style of play, and

1069
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 7: they recruited to that to a degree, but they've also

1070
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 7: more so coached it because you could you could certainly

1071
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 7: allow players to play as they wish or with the

1072
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 7: level of intensity they wish, and he's not allowed that.

1073
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 7: I think it's helped to have his son on the

1074
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 7: team because his son has played for him in in

1075
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 7: five different years at three different schools, and those from

1076
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 7: place to place to place. That that's the standard that

1077
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 7: forarticular style, that open style, that that ball movement style,

1078
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 7: the the you know, the willingness to take threes, the

1079
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 7: eagerness to take threes is always what's emphasized. But there's

1080
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 7: a lot of ball movement, a lot of intricate player

1081
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 7: movement involved with this Hoosiers offense. And as I said,

1082
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 7: I do think that having a player who's been through.

1083
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 7: It doesn't necessarily have to be his son, but having

1084
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 7: someone who's played that style for five years and is

1085
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 7: really talented has been very helpful.

1086
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 3: Mike to that point. And I can certainly agree with

1087
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: you there. I remember watching Tucker at Drake and they

1088
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: had some great teams over in the NVC. But how

1089
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 3: would you define overall success for this IU team, because

1090
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 3: you know the expectations are always going to be high

1091
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 3: in Bloomington, But granted it is Darren Derees's first year

1092
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: with the program, so how would you look at Okay,

1093
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: this is enough to say they're aheaded in the right direction.

1094
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 7: Oh, I think the minim standard is what I just said.

1095
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 7: That they that they enforce their style, and obviously some

1096
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 7: of this is impacted by health player health. You want

1097
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 7: to stay whole, have an abundance of players. It's hard

1098
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 7: to maintain the style that they're playing if your rotation

1099
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 7: gets shortened by injuries. But right now they have just

1100
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 7: about their full compliment of players. They have a couple

1101
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 7: of guys down, but they still are able to play

1102
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 7: about eight guys and and so they're able to enforce

1103
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 7: that style. I know they're going to be even better

1104
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 7: when they get fully healthy. But I think that's the

1105
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 7: number one component of this when you're in your first year,

1106
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 7: and I think if you demand more than that just

1107
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 7: because it's a transfer portal era and some teams get

1108
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 7: better than that, I think that's a mistake because you're

1109
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 7: not always going to get exactly who you want in

1110
00:48:54,440 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 7: these circumstances, especially in your first year. Especially some teams,

1111
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 7: they're connections to their former rosters or such that they

1112
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 7: can bring a lot of them along. I mean, I

1113
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 7: think Kurtzgetty's an example about it. He brought a lot

1114
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 7: of those JM you guys and they were very successful

1115
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 7: first year. And sometimes that works. But I look from

1116
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 7: a from a competitive standpoint, a results standpoint, I think

1117
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 7: if you finish in the top half of the Big ten,

1118
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 7: you've done fine. And I'm not saying that's the least

1119
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 7: they can do, but I'm saying, if you've done that

1120
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,959
Speaker 7: with this group, you've done fine. And I also think

1121
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 7: that if you do that, then you are going to

1122
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 7: be competitive for a spot in the NCAA tournament doesn't

1123
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 7: guarantee that they're going to get nine. It doesn't get

1124
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,479
Speaker 7: guarantee they're only going to get nine. They might get more.

1125
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 7: But I think if you are in the upper half

1126
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 7: of this league, you've you've you've had a really good

1127
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 7: year in the first time around, and then you want

1128
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 7: to know you want to go through the fall and

1129
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 7: get good players to sign, and you want to then

1130
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 7: go back into the portal and get guys who are

1131
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 7: to make even better. And I think that one of

1132
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 7: the things that I've seen. We saw it over the

1133
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 7: summer with the names, but now we've seen some of

1134
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 7: the guys on the floor, and I think that you

1135
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 7: have to be open, especially given the playing style at Indiana,

1136
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 7: I think you have to be open to looking overseas

1137
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 7: and seeing if there's help there.

1138
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 1: Mike, of course, he Sporting me is Big ten Network

1139
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: joining us on the payless Lickers hotline. I want to

1140
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: talk about Big East and Butler real quick. They're three

1141
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: and zero. They haven't hit their part of the schedule

1142
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: yet either, but man exceptional night shooting last night. They

1143
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: shot seventeen of thirty six from three point range against

1144
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: Chicago State. What's likely to happen for coach Mada this year.

1145
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 7: Well, that's a tough one to call. It's helpful that

1146
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 7: he does have some experience there, and so you look

1147
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 7: at that and you think that that gives them a chance.

1148
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 7: I think it's also helpful that some of the teams

1149
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 7: in the Big East look like they've taken a step back.

1150
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 7: I mean, Xavier would be the most obvious example of that,

1151
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 7: and so it's hard to it's really hard to read it,

1152
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 7: but I think that in their exhibitions they played proficiently.

1153
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 7: They they looked comfortable with each other. With the way

1154
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 7: that bad wants to play, I think it's going to

1155
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 7: take a little time and see them get into some

1156
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 7: of the more challenging games in their schedule. And it

1157
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 7: starts on Saturday at SMU. I think that that's that's

1158
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 7: a challenging games South Carolina Virginia. That's three high major

1159
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 7: games right in a row, and so I think that

1160
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 7: those games will help us get a better picture of

1161
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 7: who they are. Virginia has improved a lot. Last year,

1162
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 7: they were in an interim situation and the season really

1163
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 7: got away from them. But they you know, they've they

1164
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 7: hired Ryan Odum and he's a terrific coach and he'll

1165
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 7: do a nice job there. So I think that I

1166
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 7: think that Butler will be better this year. That's what

1167
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 7: That's the hint that they've given me. And watching them

1168
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 7: over and in watching them some over the first uh,

1169
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 7: you know, the exhibition time and then the first week

1170
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 7: or so of the season, I think they will be better.

1171
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 7: But how much better and where that takes them, I

1172
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 7: think a lot of that will be decided really before

1173
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 7: they even get to the Big East.

1174
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: Mike, I know you're in Pittsburgh. I know you're a

1175
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: Steelers guy and on behalf of Mark Dyton. He loves

1176
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: to hate watch Aaron Rodgers. How'd you feel about that

1177
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 1: game the other night?

1178
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 7: Well, I'm sure he had quite a Sunday night because

1179
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 7: that was that That really was the first time in

1180
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 7: any way that Aaron Rodgers let that team down. He's

1181
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 7: I was not a fan of the signing at the time.

1182
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 7: Until until Sunday night. He hadn't really done anything that

1183
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 7: you could criticize. He'd been a really good leader, he'd

1184
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 7: been a really good citizen. For lack of a better term,

1185
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 7: he been. I guess maybe it'd be better to say

1186
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 7: he'd been a really good Steeler.

1187
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 5: He hadn't.

1188
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 7: He basically kept everything, all the stuff that he was

1189
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 7: doing earlier in the decade on the on the on

1190
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 7: the radio Slash TV show, he'd put all that aside.

1191
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 7: Wasn't making appearances on that show any longer. Uh And

1192
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 7: except for the periodic ones. Uh And, And he had

1193
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 7: just focused on being a Steeler. And then Sunday night

1194
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 7: he just what it was that got to him, I

1195
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 7: don't know, but he was poor. And they can't afford

1196
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 7: many of those. I mean, I don't know that they

1197
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 7: can afford any of those. You could be slightly below

1198
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 7: the line and still win an NFL game, but you

1199
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 7: can't be, you know, scraping the scraping the bottom and

1200
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 7: expect to be just about anybody in the NFL.

1201
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 1: Well, you've made Mark stay. So there we go.

1202
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 4: Do you do you want Mike Tomlin gone? There's there's

1203
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 4: some like a smattering of Steelers fans that are off

1204
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 4: the Mike Tomlin sattering.

1205
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 7: There's way more than smattering, uh I think if they're certainly,

1206
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 7: if it's only a smattering, it's a very louds mattering

1207
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 7: because they like they live in this fantasy world where

1208
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 7: the Jets, Giants, Raiders. Those teams don't exist. Cowboys, they

1209
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 7: absolutely don't exist. The only teams that exist to them

1210
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 7: are the nineteen seventies and two thousand Steelers and maybe

1211
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: the Kansas City Chiefs.

1212
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 6: That's it.

1213
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 7: Those are the only teams on the planet. You're one

1214
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 7: of them, or you know, or you're terrible, that's it.

1215
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 7: And I just I will never understand how you can't

1216
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 7: look at what you're seeing and see that in a

1217
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 7: lot of like almost annually, but in a lot of circumstances,

1218
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 7: he's taking teams that shouldn't be where they are to

1219
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 7: where they are. I sometimes think that fans would rather

1220
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 7: be bad than be good to very good. And I

1221
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 7: can't understand that because they've had a baseball team here

1222
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 7: that's gotten off the deck once literally for one three

1223
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 7: year pier period in thirty five years, and they complain

1224
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 7: about that all the time. Well, that's an alternative to winning,

1225
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 7: to having winning seasons every year since two thousand and four,

1226
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 7: It really is.

1227
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 5: It could happen.

1228
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 7: You could go like the like the Raiders, and I

1229
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 7: think the Raiders last make their last playoff appearance in

1230
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 7: like two thousand and two or something like that. You

1231
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 7: could be them. But they here, they hear some of

1232
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 7: the people seem to think that you change coaches and

1233
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 7: you're automatically going to be the seventy Steelers again.

1234
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you, buddy. You just like

1235
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: I said, Mark's got a big go smile on his

1236
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: face for the rest of the day now, So I

1237
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: got that going on.

1238
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 7: Good luck to the cults the rest of the way.

1239
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: All right, let me know when you get back, buddy,

1240
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon.

1241
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 7: Thanks, Jeff.

1242
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: There is Mike the course, he's Sporting News. Always fun

1243
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: to talk to him, and I thought I'd give Mark

1244
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: a little day in the side because he was really

1245
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: enjoying that Aaron Rodgers' performances.

1246
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 4: All and Mike Tomlins stuff like. I feel like fans

1247
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 4: always think the grass is always greener on the other side, like, man,

1248
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 4: you better be careful because that man has done some

1249
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 4: pretty good things for that Mark.

1250
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 3: I feel like, at some point though, a coach and

1251
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 3: a team kind of just outgrowing or gets stale. I

1252
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: think it's just stale. I'm not even saying he's a

1253
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 3: bad coach. I don't think that all clearly. But he

1254
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 3: needs and they need something different. I think that is

1255
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 3: the conclusion that I will draw there.

1256
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 4: But if he the second they let him go, I

1257
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 4: mean he's at the top of the charts, is he not?

1258
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 4: For he's the top candidate like him and Mike McCarthy probably.

1259
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, though this is

1260
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: true about the National Football League and and Mike tomlin Is,

1261
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: as Mike just pointed out, continually has a good to

1262
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: very good team, maybe not elite, but last time they

1263
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: had an elite team, they had a quarterback. Anywhere in

1264
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, you go with a coach that lasts a

1265
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: long period of time, you got to have a quarterback.

1266
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: And I know what's interesting to me, one of the

1267
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: most fascinating guys to watch for me is in San

1268
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: Francisco with Kyle Shanahan. He continually has his teams in

1269
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: the hunt and competing, But where where's his franchise quarterback?

1270
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 5: Ben?

1271
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: But other than that, if you don't have a quarterback,

1272
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have continued success.

1273
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 4: No, And they've kind of gone to the wall with

1274
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 4: the Russell Williams wilson Field experience. And I got Ayahuasca

1275
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 4: Aaron over there, so it's not been good.

1276
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: I would say Ayahuasca Aaron when I have hot coffee.

1277
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm just saying he need to go meditate in a

1278
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 4: dark cave again. Did you see that picture of the

1279
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 4: still picture of him getting sacked the other day? His

1280
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 4: face changed, like his face it looks totally. It doesn'tven

1281
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 4: look like Aaron Rodgers. It's Ai. It's John Travolta and

1282
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 4: Nicholas Cage and face Off their face has changed.

1283
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: Might have been the worst movie of all time. That's one.

1284
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?

1285
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 1: One of them?

1286
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 4: Get out of here. That's a terrible movie.

1287
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's a terrible movie.

1288
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 4: I might print that picture of Aaron Rodgers. I was

1289
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 4: excited to watch that movie.

1290
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: I went to it. I spent money on that thing.

1291
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 4: Terrible movie, no incorrect. Face Off is a cult classic.

1292
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 4: Hold classic.

1293
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let that sit. Let it rest there.

1294
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: It's a fan morning show with James Boyd Mark Dyton,

1295
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: who's feeling himself after the I think you like a

1296
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: Packers or Aaron Rodgers down game more than you like

1297
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: a Bear's victory. I really close, you're there.

1298
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 4: I get I get just as much excitement and everything.

1299
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 4: That's why it's such a terrible game to be in

1300
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago when they played each other.

1301
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 4: Can the meteor fall. That that Atlas media? Can that

1302
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 4: fall the comet? Can it go right into where they're playing?

1303
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm already getting text from my friends. Sent out

1304
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: a terrible take on Face Off.

1305
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, I had to google it to

1306
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 3: remember the movie. But no, this was this was a

1307
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 3: solid movie.

1308
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 4: You're way off.

1309
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like it.

1310
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 4: It was it was crazy.

1311
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: Maybe, but maybe I'm thinking of the John Travolta alien movie.

1312
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: What was that one?

1313
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 4: Oh, that's Battlefield. I never saw that one.

1314
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: That's the one I'm thinking of.

1315
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 4: That was face Come on, Nicholas Cage is at like

1316
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 4: eleven and John Travolta's touching people's faces. Come on, yeah,

1317
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 4: come on, Well.

1318
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you put it that?

1319
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 4: What a selling point.

1320
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: When you put it that way, Mark.

1321
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 4: You need to rewatch it, rewatch it and get back

1322
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 4: to me.

1323
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: All right, I'll do that. I need to rewatch the

1324
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: Pacers because it's not going well right now. They are

1325
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: one in ten after just absolutely giving up the farm.

1326
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: Last night they were in Salt Lake City, Utah wins

1327
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: it one fifty two till one twenty eight, the fourth

1328
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: most points scored by the Utah Jazz in their franchise history.

1329
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: Last night, starting five is getting a little bit better,

1330
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: at least for the Indiana Pacers. Pascal Siakam is back,

1331
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Nemhard, Aaron Neiesmith were there. Tony Bradley and Jeremiah

1332
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: Robinson Earl made up the rest of the starting five.

1333
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: But they got ahead twenty to ten, and then that

1334
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: was all Utah the rest of the way. In fact,

1335
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 1: Utah in their third and fourth quarter scored forty four

1336
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: in the third and thirty eight in the fourth. Just

1337
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: Pacers couldn't stop anything last night.

1338
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 3: James Well follow he lead there we got TJ McConnell

1339
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: in his return off the bench, scored twelve points in

1340
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: twelve minutes. Did not play in the second half, which

1341
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 3: is understandable considering he was coming off of I believe

1342
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 3: a hamstring injury, so will monitor his progress. So if

1343
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 3: you're looking for a silver lining, the Pacers got their

1344
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 3: energy got back, and it's a lot more than that.

1345
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 3: I think Tjer McConnell can really really hoop.

1346
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 1: I thought the real silver lining of that game last

1347
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: night was those city uniform City edition uniforms at the

1348
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: paper the fire.

1349
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 4: I liked those things. I liked those ten out of

1350
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 4: town on that I.

1351
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Wouldn't even mind knows being the main Jerseys man.

1352
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 3: Those a lot, and shout out to the design team

1353
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 3: for coming up with a nice rendition of the past

1354
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 3: and bringing into the future.

1355
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakim had twenty seven points in that game last night,

1356
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Nemhart had twenty five. Aaronnie Smith did score seventeen,

1357
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: but they just couldn't stop the Utah offense led by

1358
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Lauri Marknen who had thirty five points. Utah shot fifty

1359
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: five percent from the field last night.

1360
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 3: James, Yeah, I mean the Pacers are not a very

1361
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 3: good defensive team at the moment, and it is evidenced

1362
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 3: by letting a team score one to fifteen regulation.

1363
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 1: All right, that's the Pacers playback presented by CNJ Water,

1364
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the official water treatment partner of the Indiana Pacers cnjwater

1369
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Butler had a great night shooting. They beat Chicago State

1370
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: by the score of ninety eight to sixty six, forty

1371
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 1: seven and a half percent from three point range last night.

1372
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: That'll get it done. Seventeen to thirty six is not bad.

1373
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 4: Not bad at all. I mean usually you shoot that well,

1374
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 4: you got to come away with a win.

1375
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: They did come away with the win again in that game.

1376
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: They were led by Finley Bizjack. He scored twenty two points,

1377
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: had six assists last night, and Michael Lajaii nice game,

1378
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: ten points and eleven rebounds, and really bis Jack scored

1379
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: eighteen of his twenty two points in the first half.

1380
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: And then you know, it's just everybody else got to

1381
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: play last night too, So that was nice for stad

1382
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: model a lot of people getting a lot of minutes

1383
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: last night. So they will play in Texas at SMU

1385
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: of basketball tonight, Indiana hosting Milwaukee. That one. We'll start

1387
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: sister station ninety three point one. And I like what

1388
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: coach Tvez has going on early. Again, we don't know,

1389
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: haven't played big time teams yet, but I like the

1390
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: fact that they get up and down the floor and

1391
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: they can shoot the three ball. You gotta have that.

1392
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: You gotta have that in your arsenal.

1393
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 3: This absolutely and they did not have that in arsenal

1394
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 3: the last couple of years under Mike Woodson.

1395
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 4: So we'll flip their fortunes.

1396
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 3: And like Mike the course, he said a little bit earlier,

1397
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 3: what's the standard for success this year?

1398
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 4: And to me, you got to make the tournament.

1399
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: All right. Also tomorrow night, Purdue, we'll be at Alabama,

1400
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: battle of two top ten ranked teams right now, and

1401
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: there's a chance for Matt Painter's team to start finding

1402
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: out what they really have. They did lose that exhibition

1403
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: game to Kentucky, but now they're on the road to

1404
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: play Alabama, who's ranked eighth right now, and everybody's talking

1405
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: about this being a final four team. We just heard

1406
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: it from Mike to Coursing. But it's time to start

1407
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: looking like that too. Wow.

1408
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 4: Well, James mentioned Mike Woodson, So I feel obligated play

1409
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 4: some Mike Woodson's down there.

1410
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 7: You go.

1411
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 4: They didn't kill us, No, they didn't.

1412
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Colts are on a bye this week. They go into

1413
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: that by eight and two. When they come out of it,

1414
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: they will play a week from Sunday in Kansas City

1415
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: against the research in Kansas City Chiefs. We were talking

1416
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor and how he leads the league in

1417
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: rushing by a wide margin through ten games so far.

1418
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones is the ninth or eighth passer in

1419
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League by passer rating, and I think, yes,

1420
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: we've seen some struggles from him over the last two games.

1421
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: So will the real Daniel Jones stand out and stand

1422
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: up in the second half of this season?

1423
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the biggest thing. And I wrote about

1424
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 3: it in my story and took some heat for it. Actually,

1425
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 3: people were kind of mad, Oh, you took an entire

1426
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 3: paragraph to point about all the things that he's done wrong,

1427
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 3: and you didn't give enough credit to what he was

1428
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 3: doing late in the game.

1429
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 4: I get all of that, but I don't care who

1430
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 4: you are. If you are a quarterback and.

1431
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 3: You commit seven turnovers in two games, you're going to

1432
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 3: get criticized.

1433
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 4: That is the reality of that position. Now, I will

1434
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 4: say it's not all on him.

1435
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 3: But he does have to be better after the buye

1436
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 3: and it's not about people telling me all, well, he

1437
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 3: threw for two hundred and forty yards against the Atlanta

1438
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Falcons defense at number one in passing. It's never about

1439
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 3: moving the ball with the Colts. They moved the ball

1440
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 3: great against Atlanta or five hundred yards of offense. They

1441
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 3: moved the ball great against Pittsburgh. It's the turnovers that

1442
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 3: always do them in, especially this season. So I'm never

1443
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 3: concerned about them moving the ball. They do that in

1444
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 3: their sleep. Is just taking taking care of the football.

1445
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 3: See you to score on my points.

1446
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: And we will talk to Stacey Dill's of the NFL

1447
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Network at the top of the hour and get her

1448
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 1: take on what's going on with the Colts the first

1449
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: half of the season. Interesting weekend for watching if you're

1450
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: a Colts fan. We will have a couple of games

1451
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: here on ninety three five one or seventy five fan

1452
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, a doubleheader. In the first one, it will

1453
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: be Jacksonville hosting the Chargers. If the Chargers win that game,

1454
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Colts going to the second half of the season out

1455
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: of the buy here with a three game lead in

1456
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: the AFC South.

1457
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 4: James not a bad place to be.

1458
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 3: But as we've talked about throughout the show, you got

1459
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 3: bigger fish to fry.

1460
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then in the second half of that doubleheader

1461
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: will have Denver in Kansas City to get a little

1462
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: preview look at what the Chiefs are looking like right

1463
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: now as the Broncos continue to lead the AFC West. There,

1464
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: how about this mark Major League Baseball, Everything old is

1465
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: new again. Repeat winners for Manager of the Year.

1466
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 4: You don't see that very often, not very I also

1467
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 4: just hate that Baseball just spreads these out. It takes

1468
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 4: like two months to give out the awards. Just doing

1469
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 4: awards night y is taken for It's like one a day.

1470
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: They do that all the time. They're trying. They're trying

1471
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: to take a page out of the NFL and stay

1472
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: relevant every day.

1473
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 4: Justice the awards out of the way. It takes forever.

1474
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: For the second straight year, the Brewers Pat Murphy is

1475
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the National League Manager of the Year. He prevailed in

1476
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: the voting over the other two finalist, Terry Francona of

1477
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 1: the reds Our Guy, My Guy, Kevin and I's Guy

1478
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: and Rob Thompson of the Phillies. Meanwhile, in the American League,

1479
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: Stephen Voight of the Guardians has repeated as the American

1480
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: League Manager of the Year. He won the balloting over

1481
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: his fellow finalist John Schneider or the Blue Jayson we

1482
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: saw in the World Series, and Dan Wilson of the Mariners.

1483
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: Dan Wilson would have been my vote. The Mariners. I

1484
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: doot had a terrific season this year.

1485
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 4: MVP should announce right before pitchers and catchers report in

1486
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 4: Arizona at the track that they're on.

1487
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: He sounds for better.

1488
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 4: Mark. It's just annoying to get it over with. I agree.

1489
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 4: Come on, that's what I'm talking about baseball. Baseball. You

1490
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 4: have one hundred and sixty two games, you have long postseason.

1491
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 4: Get the awards out of the way. Get it over with.

1492
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 4: Do one night do the sps get it out of

1493
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 4: the way, James.

1494
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: You see the Philadelpha Eagles cornback jyr Alexander stepping away

1495
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: from the team before deciding whether or not he will retire.

1496
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: That's crazy. They acquired Alexander from the Ravens earlier this

1497
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: month for a late round draft picks swap eagleson a

1498
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 1: twenty six sixth rounder to Baltimore for Alexander and a

1499
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven to seventh rounder. He's only appeared in

1500
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: two games this season, both with Baltimore. He didn't even

1501
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: travel with the team for the game against Green Bay

1502
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and the team listed him as out

1503
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: with his designation as knee slash coach decision.

1504
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 3: It's been a rough year for him, and so anytime

1505
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 3: you hear that word retirement, you're a little skeptical where

1506
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 3: his mind is and how he can up your team.

1507
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 3: But it's just one of those things where I think

1508
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 3: the cornerback position is unforgiving at times. He was great

1509
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and now not so much.

1510
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Hey did the Colts when they were looking for helping

1511
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: the secondary with all those injuries, did they ever bring

1512
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: in a Sante Samuel and junior and think about signing

1513
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: him at all?

1514
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 4: I don't believe that they worked him out. No, he

1515
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 4: was not part of the They were not on the

1516
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 4: list of the teams as he.

1517
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Had just signed with the Steelers to help them out

1518
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. So anything else

1519
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you want to throw in right now.

1520
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier, Travis Hunter out for the rest

1521
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 3: of the year for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts have

1522
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 3: paid them twice in the second half of the season,

1523
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 3: so unfortunately for him, he went alonger play during his

1524
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 3: rookie year, but that could be a break for the

1525
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: Colts because he is a very good player in my opinion.

1526
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I will point out that the second college football playoff

1527
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: ranking show happened last night. Indiana is still ranked number two,

1528
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: just behind Ohio State, just ahead of Texas A and M.

1529
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: But a lot of folks nationally I think Texas A

1530
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and M has just been steamrolling everybody, especially in that conference,

1531
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: that are.

1532
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 3: Getting in lie you're not jumping at you, Okay, get

1533
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 3: in line.

1534
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: I still love the fact that I you the three

1535
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: times on the road they've they've faced some real adversity,

1536
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: they've gotten up off the mat and you know, they

1537
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 1: responded to pick six in Oregon and they just took

1538
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: over control of the game there, and then they went

1539
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: late in Iowa before that, and then this past weekend

1540
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: we all saw the eighty yard drive with everything on

1541
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: the line there. So I like the way that they're

1542
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: playing right now. I don't think you can fall.

1543
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 3: I like it, but you need to stop playing with

1544
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 3: fire and get back to the blowouts, you know, a

1545
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 3: little bit easier on the heart and the mind.

1546
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, all right, coming up in a moment, we

1547
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: will talk a little bit more about the NBA A

1548
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: big piece of news happening there and what the Pacers

1549
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: look like, is they finally start to get healthy. Is

1550
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: it even gonna matter at some point? Talk about it now,

1551
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: three five, one oh seven to five to fan, it's

1552
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: been a rough start for the Indiana Pacers one in

1553
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: ten and it look it makes all the sense in

1554
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the world. You lose your best player to an injury

1555
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be around all your long and

1556
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: Tyree's Halliburton, the Miles Turner situation. I think we've gone

1557
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: over dissected enough times. It is what it is, and

1558
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: it's just the insane rash of injuries over the first

1559
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: six weeks of the season. And you're literally for the

1560
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: first I don't know eight games of your season, you're

1561
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: playing half your roster guys that should be playing for

1562
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: the Nobles Bill Boom Boom at this point in time.

1563
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's rough.

1564
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 3: So, I mean it's hard for me to find any

1565
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 3: type of like hope there with this team. And I

1566
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 3: told you all early on. You get to twenty games in,

1567
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 3: you only got about three or four wins. You start

1568
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 3: looking at where you are when it comes to NBA

1569
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 3: Draft lottery, seating in spots.

1570
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: So and there's four or five good players this year too, Yes.

1571
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 4: Very good players. Yeah, I didn't. I wasn't playing on

1572
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 4: going to tankathon this early. But we we might be

1573
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 4: getting closed before Thanksgiving. We might be getting close.

1574
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 5: I know.

1575
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 4: It's a it's been a rough it's I don't want

1576
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 4: to hear that sound before Thanksgiving. I don't want to

1577
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 4: get there.

1578
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

1579
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't planning on that.

1580
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: The last time you played that was for a number

1581
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: four pick in the NFL draft. I know, I know.

1582
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 4: And they would say like Noblesville booming, like those G

1583
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 4: League teams, like see the Stars of Tomorrow Today it

1584
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 4: might literally be tomorrow the way the rosters, the injuries

1585
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 4: are stacking up for the pace. Look it the season

1586
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 4: ended today.

1587
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 3: According to tankathon dot com, the Pacers have number two

1588
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 3: pick in the draft.

1589
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 4: Could be a great player.

1590
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: What's uh? What New Orleans is number one? I'm guessing

1591
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: no Washington. Oh wow, New Orleans actually has two wins

1592
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 1: this year. That might be might be picking them up. Yeah,

1593
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: they've doubled up the Pacers. They have double the amount

1594
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: of wins. Let's go to the phone lines two nine

1595
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: seventy Tony joins us this morning on a Wednesday here

1596
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: on the Fan Morning show. Good morning, Tony, what's up Morrin?

1597
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 6: Guys, that was a perfect segue with what I called for.

1598
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 6: But before I start, I hate this is not why,

1599
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 6: but I hate the new thing that for a few

1600
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 6: years now, everybody's a number one pick, number one picks,

1601
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 6: the first guy picked the first round. Yes, yeah, I

1602
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 6: hate that craft. It's so oh they went first. Oh wait, no,

1603
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 6: they were a first round pick. But anyway, I only

1604
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 6: get to listen to you guys on my drive to

1605
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,600
Speaker 6: school because I'm a teacher and like a little bit

1606
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 6: of JMB going home. So if you've talked about what

1607
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 6: I teach eighth grade Spanish over at Chapol Hill.

1608
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: On the West Side, God bless you anybody dealing with

1609
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: I had just got two kids in high school now,

1610
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: and I can tell you I love them to death.

1611
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I love all kids, middle scores, they're tough, man, I

1612
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: love all kids.

1613
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 6: Nine years ago, man, nine years ago, I am counting.

1614
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 6: But no, we need to give some flowers to the

1615
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 6: Pacers management the forth sight of making that trade before

1616
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 6: the draft during the playoffs to get our first round

1617
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 6: pick this year and not last year's first round pick

1618
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 6: is freaking genius now because look at look at what

1619
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 6: you guys talking about. The number now not the number

1620
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 6: two pick in the draft, second best lottery odds. But

1621
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 6: either way, having our pick this year is clutch. And

1622
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 6: just hear we guys say about it, and have a

1623
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 6: good day.

1624
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Tony. Good luck with those middle

1625
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: school kids. Like again, I love my kids. They're in

1626
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,640
Speaker 1: high school now. Middle schoolers are great, but they can

1627
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: be they can be some work sometimes. Man.

1628
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 3: All I know is when the last time I spoke

1629
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 3: at middle school, so it's a highland middle school up

1630
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 3: in the region, they called me unk.

1631
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 4: They're like, man, I'm getting old. You're even thirty.

1632
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 3: I told them I was getting close thirty. I was like, man,

1633
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 3: about to be unking in a few months or later

1634
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 3: this year, and they were like, you already there in

1635
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 3: nineteen hundreds.

1636
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 4: So that's when he starts slapping shoulders. Yeah, no, I know.

1637
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 3: I was thinking, Oh, I got to score up with

1638
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 3: a you know, a freaking twelve year old at seven

1639
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 3: am or something like this.

1640
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 4: Evin, We're gonna play Bloody Knuckles right now. You guys

1641
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 4: know this game. Let's play that.

1642
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, But to Tony's point, yeah, I don't know how

1643
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: I actided that call to go. I think during the

1644
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 3: break I was like, oh, man, I hope this guy

1645
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 3: is going to be like get rid of everybody and

1646
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 3: fire everybody.

1647
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 4: But no, I think he made a very good point.

1648
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 3: The Pacers in a way knew this could go left

1649
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 3: really quick, so them getting their first round pick back,

1650
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 3: to his point, was a very savvy move. It looks

1651
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 3: like it could be the move that really helps you

1652
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 3: kind of rebuild your sort of second stint, second identity

1653
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 3: with Tyrese Haliburt, because I don't know what this team

1654
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 3: looks like when he comes back and let's just say, okay,

1655
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 3: he's back healthy next year, I don't think he'll be

1656
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 3: fully tyress again for another year after that. Because typically

1657
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 3: when it comes to Achilles' injuries, and I'm not an

1658
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 3: expert by any means, but just following a lot of

1659
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 3: athletics over the years, the guys that I have covered,

1660
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 3: when they tear their achilles and they come back, it's

1661
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,759
Speaker 3: the following year post return where they fully get the confidence,

1662
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 3: the explosion, the agility, all those things back in their

1663
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 3: lower extremities. And so if you're looking at that timeline

1664
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 3: that's what three years from now, and that to me

1665
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: lets me know that a lot of players here might

1666
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 3: not be here anymore, and you do need to stockpile

1667
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 3: and probably bring somebody else in who could be a

1668
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 3: part of that core next to Tyrese Haliburt.

1669
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also think that the probably the plan

1670
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: for Tyree next year. He's not gonna play every night

1671
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: the first certainly the first half two thirds of the

1672
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: year next year, They're gonna they're gonna pick and choose

1673
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 1: the spots that he plays. He's not gonna be playing

1674
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: a lot of back to backs, he's not gonna be

1675
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: playing a ton of minutes. The idea being that, hey,

1676
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: when it comes March next year in twenty twenty seven,

1677
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: maybe he's far enough removing the injury and they brought

1678
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: him along at just the right pace that he becomes

1679
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: a force again down the stretching end of the postseason

1680
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty seven you're talking about there, So that's

1681
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: best case scenario.

1682
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 4: We talked about that trade yesterday about how like it

1683
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 4: went under the radarcs. They're in the middle of the

1684
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 4: finals when it happens like that's weird they made a

1685
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 4: trade and then now you're seeing how huge that is

1686
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 4: because I could you imagine watching this team now and

1687
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 4: they didn't have that pick. Could you imagine like how

1688
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 4: the season's going if they didn't have their first round

1689
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,759
Speaker 4: pick this year? You're like, oh boy. But now in hindsight,

1690
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 4: you're like, that's actually huge. That might be like one

1691
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 4: of the best Kevin Pritchard moves he's ever made. In hindsight, I.

1692
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: Want to point out something.

1693
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 3: Who's in ninety seven? He said, who was bigger you

1694
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 3: with the twelve year old James?

1695
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: All right?

1696
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 2: Wow?

1697
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 4: Is that he's the same guy that calls.

1698
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 3: Me Indiana Bay, which I think is actually a very

1699
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 3: good nickname. I can't lie, but you know what, I

1700
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 3: will pleade the fifth on that question, because let's just say,

1701
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 3: some of these kids, I look at him, I'm like,

1702
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 3: you know what, you probably you know, you get a

1703
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 3: little rolled up. I don't know if they could take

1704
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 3: your boy down. You know, I still got some of

1705
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 3: that grown man's strength. But yeah, I'm not picking on

1706
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 3: any twelve year olds anytime soon, or actually, if I am,

1707
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get all my wins and all my

1708
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 3: trash talk in now be but they get older and

1709
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 3: it gets a little spooky for me, which is why

1710
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 3: I think. I think when Kevin Bowen, this is what

1711
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 3: months ago he saw me the picture of Max Bown

1712
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 3: with the little basketball, said I could take him.

1713
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 4: One on one right now. You got to get your

1714
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 4: wins early.

1715
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: And you would block his shots.

1716
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to get your wins early.

1717
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 3: And then when they get old enough to beat you,

1718
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 3: you're like, you know what, I don't play anymore.

1719
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: Have you seen those videos they had the adult block

1720
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: in the four year old's basket. Yeah, every time that's

1721
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna be me. Yeah.

1722
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 4: Kids got to learn.

1723
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 3: Look, the reason why I am right now is because

1724
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 3: my parents were my first haters.

1725
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 4: You need some of that early on in life to

1726
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 4: build character.

1727
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 1: Uh. Jay, writing in on the fan text line two

1728
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: three nine ten seventy, says, hated the Indie jerseys. I

1729
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: know they're City Edition, but it's the Indiana Pacers. I

1730
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: thought those those jerseys were fire last night. I love

1731
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: the look of those things. I love the court that

1732
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: they showed. Well, I can't wait to see the City

1733
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: edition court too. Did you see a picture of that?

1734
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm always a fan of that, but I want

1735
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 3: to say, what did they did? Did they have Indy

1736
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 3: on there last night? I thought that that was h

1737
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 3: a regular, not regular, but I thought it had the

1738
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 3: actual Pacers.

1739
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 4: Name in it, So maybe I'm tripping.

1740
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did have Pacers in it last night, so

1741
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 3: maybe Oh I think he means the one from last year. Yeah, yeah, okay,

1742
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 3: that makes sense. Yeah, I would agree.

1743
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

1744
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: He also says he figures the Pacers Brass have at

1745
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: least earned his trust. We all knew this was going

1746
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: to be a down year. Yeah, and that was before

1747
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: Miles Turner. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, I gotta read

1748
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,560
Speaker 1: this right. That was before Miles Turncoat, petty ex girlfriend

1749
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: Tuner Oh j R.

1750
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 3: O Danang Well, yeah, I'm sure you all probably talked

1751
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 3: about a little bit.

1752
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 4: He's done himself. No favors as of late.

1753
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, I would say from the time I started

1754
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 3: covering team in twenty twenty one to twenty two, which

1755
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 3: I believe was Rick Carlisle's first year back with the franchise,

1756
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 3: them going from a core of Malcolm Brogden, Miles Turner

1757
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 3: and de Monta Sebonez to six months ago being an

1758
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 3: NBA Finals. Yes, you've earned a lot of trust when

1759
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 3: it comes to making moves and being able to be

1760
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 3: I guess forward thinking and whatever moves you make, and

1761
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 3: I do think if you're going to get back to

1762
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 3: that stage, it's gonna look a lot different than it

1763
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 3: did unfortunately six months ago, just because so much can

1764
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 3: change in two and three years, especially in the NBA.

1765
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and because of all the injuries and everything else.

1766
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: This is what Rick Carlisle was dealing with last night.

1767
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: These are I'm gonna give you names. In the number

1768
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: of minutes they played last night in an NBA regular

1769
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: season game. Jaris Walker twenty two minutes, which is fine

1770
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: because he's a coming guy and he's going to be

1771
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: a part of rotation moving forward. That's great. But Jay

1772
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 1: huff is getting minutes, Coddy Martin's getting minutes, Maty Morris

1773
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: is getting double digit minutes. Rag J Dennis did not

1774
01:17:57,800 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: play last night, telling Peter did not play last night

1775
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: because you also had Jeremiah Robinson Earl getting twenty two

1776
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: minutes in the starting lineup. He's just trying to figure

1777
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: out five guys that'll play together and work well together

1778
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: right now.

1779
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So it's one of those things where again he

1780
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 3: has to uh, figure out a way to keep his

1781
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 3: troops kind of uh, you know, aligned and hopeful, but

1782
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 3: at the same time, the reality is pretty bleak.

1783
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: All right, Stacy Dale is going to join us top

1784
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: of the Hour from NFL Network. In the meantime, we'll

1785
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: get back to some of your texts at two three

1786
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: nine ten seventy. Coming up in just a moment. It's

1787
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 1: the Fan Morning Show. James Boyd returning from Europe, a

1788
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: conquering hero after taking it to the folks in Berlin.

1789
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 4: And I'm not I didn't conquer anything. I just went

1790
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 4: and visited.

1791
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: We'll do it next ninety three five, one oh seven five.

1792
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome into Wednesday. Here ninety three five, one

1793
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: oh seven five to the fan, happy to have James

1794
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Boyd back from Berlin. Stayed an extra day there, taking

1795
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: into some of the history and the culture. And you know,

1796
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: so I do take advantage of the time you're over there.

1797
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 7: Man.

1798
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: You don't want to. You don't want to go all

1799
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: the way to Berlin and then turn around and come

1800
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: right home and not do anything to watch a football game, right.

1801
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 3: No, And I would have turned right back around and

1802
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,559
Speaker 3: came back on my normal schedule had I gotten out

1803
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 3: there on my normal time, because when I landed Saturday,

1804
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 3: I believe Joel A. Ricks and Steven Holder are already

1805
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 3: out and about in Berlin, and so I didn't do

1806
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 3: the Cardinals sent of going to sleep. I took it

1807
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 3: like an hour nap. It wasn't like go to bed,

1808
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 3: but I was like, I need some juice before I

1809
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 3: get out here in these Berlin streets. But I got

1810
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 3: a chance to see a lot of different cool things,

1811
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 3: learn a lot of history about the place.

1812
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 4: Remember, you know how.

1813
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 3: We should treat people, because there are a lot of

1814
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 3: memorials for Jews and Jewish people and things like that.

1815
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 3: So it is, like I said, very cool, kind of sad,

1816
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 3: but also a great perspective to have beyond just going

1817
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 3: for there for a football game. And then the place

1818
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 3: they played it obviously very historic, the Olympic Stadium out there,

1819
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 3: and you know, knowing the history that was there with

1820
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 3: Jesse Owens and then on a much lesser scale which

1821
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 3: I put in my story, JT had his historic day

1822
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 3: there and just the through line from there to from

1823
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 3: then till now was really inspiring. So a place that

1824
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 3: I would hope to revisit a game, But if I don't.

1825
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 3: At least I have my one shot in Berlin.

1826
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Well, I'm proud of the fact that you went in

1827
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: and tried some food over there from some local fair,

1828
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: which was good because I will tell you this, one

1829
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: of my other things going, whether it's going to France

1830
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: or going to Italy or whatever it is, going over

1831
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: in Europe, I like checking out the local food. But

1832
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. We were waiting for something

1833
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 1: outside the Vatican one time and right around the corner

1834
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: there was a McDonald's and curiosity got the best of men.

1835
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just curious, what does a cheeseburger in

1836
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Rome taste like from McDonald's. Right, First of all, you

1837
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: go in there and there's different things that you don't

1838
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: always get here. Okay, different things whatever. But I'll be

1839
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, a cheeseburger. I had one

1840
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: in Rome, and I tried one at the airport. I

1841
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: think it was in Paris or maybe it was just

1842
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: after the airport. It's I don't know how they do it.

1843
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: It's exactly the same, man, fries are the same, cheeseburger

1844
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: is the same. And that was it just that one day.

1845
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: But just curiosity, like what is it really like over here?

1846
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 3: I think I'm good as long as I have a

1847
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 3: photo of what I'm going to eat.

1848
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 4: That was my hardest thing.

1849
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 3: It's like getting the menu and trying to read it

1850
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 3: and they would say that some of the stuff in

1851
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 3: English underneath, or had they had written in German. But

1852
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, I need a picture of what it looks

1853
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 3: like and that will allow me to be more forthcoming

1854
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 3: and trying it, because I didn't want to order something

1855
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 3: I think is one thing and it's not so when

1856
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 3: I did try some of the traditional German food. I

1857
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 3: told you one of days I was out, I just

1858
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,560
Speaker 3: kind of was stopping in different places and hey, I

1859
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 3: will grab a bite here, bite there. It's because they

1860
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 3: had these big pictures on the side of like whatever

1861
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 3: building or you know, a little cart, and I could

1862
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 3: see exactly what I was getting, and that kind of

1863
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:42,600
Speaker 3: I think got rid of some of the anxiety for

1864
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 3: me of like, am I trying something that's gonna be

1865
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 3: like nasty to me or I just don't know what

1866
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 3: it is. But at the same time, I think you

1867
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 3: kind of just got to go for I'm not one

1868
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 3: of those people who wants to go somewhere and not

1869
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 3: try new things. So I'll try to myself for that.

1870
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 3: But like I said, the last night, I did go

1871
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 3: and find some chicken wings and some fries, and they

1872
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 3: also gave me some water you will serve meat. I

1873
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 3: took a picture of it and put it on Twitter

1874
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 3: because the way it looks, the little bottle they gave me,

1875
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 3: it looks like, you know, I got like a glass

1876
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 3: of vodka or something, but it was just water, still water.

1877
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: Not big on ice over in Europe either, and you

1878
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: gotta as No.

1879
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 3: No, I got like two cubes of ice and that

1880
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 3: was all I got pretty much the entire time I

1881
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 3: was there.

1882
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: But no, I love eating the food over there, but no,

1883
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: just that one. We were sitting there with nothing to do,

1884
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: and it was right across the street. I'm like, all right,

1885
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: I'll check it out. But it is what it is, man,

1886
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: So now I know that, and I don't have to

1887
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: do it again exactly. That's how that works. So I was.

1888
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: I always enjoy hearing stories of travel and things like that. Mark,

1889
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: you didn't even have to travel last night. You took

1890
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: this great picture. You should post it online if you

1891
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: haven't yet. You saw the aurora Borealis from your backyard

1892
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: in Brownsburg last night. Yeah.

1893
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 4: My dad's like, isn't Illinois' Like, yeah, I think there's

1894
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 4: a good chance of an aurora tonight. It's like, all right,

1895
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 4: we'll go out and looking like, oh, yeah, there it is.

1896
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 4: I took a couple of photos and everything like that.

1897
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was cool. So first time I'd ever

1898
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 4: seen them. My oldest saw it too. The other two

1899
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 4: were already sleeping, So that's pretty cool. Pretty cool things.

1900
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 4: The universe is kind of cool. Every once in a

1901
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 4: while when that happens.

1902
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should post that. It was really cool. I

1903
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 1: we'll get out on that all right. Coming up in

1904
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: a moment, we will talk about the Colts second half

1905
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,879
Speaker 1: of the season, the AFC in general.

1906
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 4: Stacey Dale.

1907
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: Stacy Dale, Well that's what I'm getting to. Yeah, Stacey

1908
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: Dale's from NFL Network will join us as we continue

1909
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: ninety three five. When I be Wednesday, James Boyd back

1910
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: from Berlin. The Colts on a bye. They will play

1911
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: a week from Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Mark

1912
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: Dyke didn't spending the ones in Tuesday. As always, back

1913
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: in your normal seas. It feel good to get back

1914
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: over there on the right side of the board.

1915
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 5: Again.

1916
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 4: I'm just happy the key card work this morning. I

1917
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:35,799
Speaker 4: figured Caleen took my job.

1918
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: While I was no hosting, nobody taking your job, and

1919
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: we had a great time having you here. Let's time

1920
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about the Colts and

1921
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: the AFC, and we bring in our next guest, Stacey

1922
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: Dale's works at NFL Network and Stacy, if I'm not mistaken,

1923
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: I believe you were in Berlin this past week, were

1924
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 1: you not?

1925
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning, guys. I was what a great trip

1926
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 5: it was to Berlin, and certainly I mean if he

1927
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 5: didn't think Jonathan Taylor was in the running for MVP.

1928
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,560
Speaker 5: Go back and watch that game on Sunday.

1929
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,839
Speaker 3: Stacy, I believe it was you in the postgame interview

1930
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 3: and correct me if I'm wrong. Was that you and

1931
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 3: JT and then Chris Ballart came and kissed him?

1932
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 5: You are one hundred percent correct that that happened. That happened.

1933
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 5: I actually I got to go back today and get

1934
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 5: that clip and post it because I'm interviewing Jonathan Taylor

1935
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 5: after he has two hundred and eighty six scrimmage yards. Okay,

1936
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 5: so that's a career high for this young man, and

1937
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 5: Chris Ballard stepped in and we captured him actually on

1938
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 5: our on the overhead camera and it was really cool.

1939
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 5: Gives him a big kiss on the cheek. I think

1940
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 5: even Jonathan was.

1941
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 4: Surprised by it.

1942
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 5: I certainly was, but we had to keep it moving.

1943
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 5: Did you guys know what a professional TV?

1944
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: Stacy Dale joining us on the Payless Liquors Hotline right now,

1945
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: talk about the Colts and they're standing as they go

1946
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: into their bye week. They're eight and two and a

1947
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: little bit of an aggression maybe for the offense in

1948
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, and they pulled it out against Atlanta.

1949
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: But overall league wide, what are you hearing and seeing

1950
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: about the Colts? The just the perception of where they

1951
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: are and who they are.

1952
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 5: I think when you find a way to win in

1953
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 5: the NFL, as we saw on Sunday, and you're a

1954
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 5: good team, your target in many respects. I mean I

1955
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 5: was in Pittsburgh as well with the Colts, and you

1956
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 5: have to find ways to win in this league, and

1957
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:33,640
Speaker 5: they did it on Sunday. They did it in a

1958
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 5: You know, when you travel to any of these international

1959
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 5: sites and you win, it's a big deal, and I

1960
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 5: think if you're the Colts and you're staring down right now,

1961
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 5: they're eight and two, they're the number one seed in

1962
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 5: the AFC. They hold the head to head tiebreaker over

1963
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 5: the eight and two Broncos. They hold the conference win

1964
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 5: lost tiebreaker over.

1965
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,520
Speaker 7: The eight and two Patriots.

1966
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 5: Like I'm a believer, you know, you know, spending time

1967
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 5: in production meetings with Shane Steiken and Danny Jones and

1968
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 5: Zayer Franklin. The culture is special, Jonathan Taylor, The culture

1969
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 5: is really special. I've covered this team for a long time, guys,

1970
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 5: and this is probably the best culture that I've felt.

1971
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,720
Speaker 5: You know, just if you walk in the locker room

1972
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 5: and you feel something special, this team.

1973
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 4: Has it again.

1974
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 3: We have Stacey Dale's, the NFL Networks senior national reporter

1975
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 3: here on the Paalisica's hotline. You can also catch the

1976
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,799
Speaker 3: Commanders in Dolphins game, which is also overseas in Madrid

1977
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 3: on Sunday at nine thirty am Eastern Time from Legit

1978
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 3: exclusively on NFL Network and is availble to stream as

1979
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 3: well on NFL Plus and all your devices. Stacy, the

1980
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 3: one thing I think has changed the most when it

1981
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 3: comes to this team is Obviously, quarterback Daniel Jones is

1982
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 3: playing some of the best football of his career. A

1983
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 3: little bit of shaky, I guess, the last couple of

1984
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 3: some of the turnover issues, But overall, what has been

1985
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 3: your impression of his career resurgence here in Indianapolis, considering

1986
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 3: how bleak things looked just months ago, six or seven

1987
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 3: months ago leaving New York.

1988
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, the team believes in him. I mean, you're right

1989
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,959
Speaker 5: to your point. Seven giveaways over the last two weeks

1990
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,680
Speaker 5: is substantial. But and I don't know what's going on

1991
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 5: up front. I mean, this is a really good offensive line.

1992
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 5: But in my conversations, including you know, with Chris Ballard

1993
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 5: and Carly Ers Gordon and Shane Steiken, like they they are,

1994
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 5: they feel very comfortable with their quarterback right now. And

1995
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 5: one of the things, guys, in my production meetings last

1996
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 5: week that I took away from my conversations with Shane Stiken,

1997
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 5: I asked him, are you doing anything? Because he was

1998
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,759
Speaker 5: a quarterback, so he played the position when he played

1999
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 5: and he works very well with quarterbacks. You talk about

2000
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 5: quarterback whispers, however you want to paraphrase it or describe it,

2001
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 5: And you know, I said, are you doing anything different

2002
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 5: within Neil Jones like, what's unique about this relationship? And

2003
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 5: he told me that we can have next level conversations.

2004
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 5: I wanted to get this in so badly in our

2005
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 5: broadcast when I was on the sideline. But what he

2006
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 5: meant by that was sometimes you can sit down with

2007
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 5: a quarterback and you can watch the tape. Right, you

2008
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 5: can put the tape on and what do you see?

2009
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 5: You're sitting with your quarterback as the play caller in

2010
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 5: you know, in terms of Shane Steiken, and they can

2011
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:29,880
Speaker 5: actually have those conversations without sitting down and watching the tape.

2012
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 5: So there's a visual part of it and then there's

2013
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 5: an audio part of it and they can just talk

2014
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 5: football and see the game the same way. So I

2015
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 5: thought that was really special. I haven't heard a lot

2016
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 5: of play callers say that to me, and so I

2017
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 5: think they're big believers in Danny Jones in Indy.

2018
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 1: What do you think the addition of Sauce Gardner to

2019
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: that secondary and they're getting the Shavaria's ward back pretty

2020
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,759
Speaker 1: quickly here too, What do you think that the moves

2021
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 1: they've made and what they can do down the stretch here?

2022
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 5: Mooney getting Mooney back was huge next week it should

2023
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 5: be after the buy right, So second concussion against Arizona.

2024
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 5: So what I learned about, you know, just the defensive backfield.

2025
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 5: Really after that Arizona game, guys, the Colts were shopping

2026
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:23,600
Speaker 5: for a cornerback. So you know, you lose, as you

2027
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 5: mentioned Tarvarius Word after that Arizona game with his second concussion,

2028
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 5: and now you're on the hunt. So they had been

2029
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 5: looking for a cornerback all the way back to that

2030
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 5: time frame. And really it was about four weeks ago

2031
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 5: that they started targeting soft Gardener. So essentially the Jets

2032
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 5: were not shopping him. They were not like trying to

2033
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 5: get rid of soft Gardener. But that's how strongly Chris

2034
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 5: Ballard the Colts felt about going and getting As Carli

2035
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 5: Er say, Gordon told me, when you have a good fire,

2036
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:02,600
Speaker 5: going poor gasoline on it. That's why they went and

2037
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 5: got soft Gardener to pour gasoline on this fire. So

2038
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:09,559
Speaker 5: to answer your question, this is massive. I think he

2039
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 5: was exposed a little bit because Drake London was all

2040
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 5: over the formation on Sunday in Germany, and you know,

2041
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 5: he's gonna need a little bit of time. He's gonna

2042
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,599
Speaker 5: need a little bit of time. They told me going

2043
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 5: into the game, Fellas that like he was one hundred percent.

2044
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:26,759
Speaker 5: I mean his first walk through, they had a seventy

2045
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 5: play walkthrough in his first practice as a cult and

2046
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 5: he never made a mistake, lou and Rumo told me.

2047
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 5: But I think there were a few mistakes, a few

2048
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:36,799
Speaker 5: issues this past Sunday.

2049
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 7: He'll get up to speed.

2050
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 5: He's really smart, he's really intelligent, great football acumen. It's

2051
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 5: a huge move and I think with Mooney coming back

2052
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 5: like this is gonna be one of the best secondaries

2053
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 5: in football.

2054
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 3: So Stacey and again thanks for joining us. Make it

2055
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 3: time for us on the Palisica's hotline. We have these

2056
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 3: of course, senior NFL network reporter with us traveling all

2057
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 3: across the world doing great work. And you know, going

2058
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 3: back to JT. Yeah, a few years ago, he's going

2059
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 3: through the contract dispute with Jim Irse quite frankly, it

2060
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 3: was very public and very in your face, and then

2061
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 3: you look up a few years later and he's rogably

2062
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 3: the best player in the sport. So how realistic do

2063
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 3: you think it is for him to become the first

2064
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 3: NFL MVP at running back since Adrian Peterson in twenty twelve.

2065
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 5: Well after I saw Sae Kwon Berkley, you know, last

2066
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 5: year and then not getting dude. I mean, come on, man, Like,

2067
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 5: if you ain't a quarterback, it's a tough slope for you.

2068
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 5: But I think what Jonathan Taylor is doing right now,

2069
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 5: and here's what I love about him. Six years in

2070
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 5: the NFL. We saw his illustrious season back in twenty one.

2071
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 5: I mean, he's already eclipsed a thousand rush yards. I

2072
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 5: mentioned that he had a career high two eighty six

2073
01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 5: scrimmage yards. He's doing it in so many ways. But

2074
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 5: the thing that really impresses me about him is in

2075
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,759
Speaker 5: our meetings with him last week, I mean, Kurt Warner

2076
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 5: asked him, like, what do you want to be remembered for?

2077
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 5: What do you want to be known for? And he

2078
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 5: said dependable. I want to be known for my dependability.

2079
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,679
Speaker 5: If a teammate needs me, I'm there for him. If

2080
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 5: a play is called, I get the job done. And

2081
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 5: like that could not have been more true. In jury

2082
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 5: his second career game with two hundred plus rush yards,

2083
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 5: three plus rushing touchdowns, and that's second to himself. Like

2084
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 5: he's really special and the way he prepares, the way

2085
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,720
Speaker 5: he goes about his business. He's team first. He is

2086
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 5: really extraordinary. I'm not surprised that Chris Ballard jumped in

2087
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 5: on our interview and gave him a big, big because, guys,

2088
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 5: I mean, like I'm I'm blown away sometimes by some

2089
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 5: of these players in the league. And last year it

2090
01:32:55,960 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 5: was Saquon, this year it's Jonathan Taylor. He's so out,

2091
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 5: he has his body ready, he's uh, He's just a

2092
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 5: quintessential teammate. And you know, I remember that dispute by

2093
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 5: I was that training camp when he was walking around.

2094
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 5: Do you guys remember when he was walking around and

2095
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 5: he has like hoodie over his Yeah.

2096
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 4: Joe Stacey was.

2097
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 3: We would look in and kind of see as is

2098
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 3: the hoodie black as a blue?

2099
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:27,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Like I was there. I was following him

2100
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 5: around and like he was so solemn and it was

2101
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 5: just sullen, and it was like, I, I don't know

2102
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,800
Speaker 5: how they going to figure this thing out. I think

2103
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:40,120
Speaker 5: anytime you're drafted in the second round in the NFL

2104
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 5: and you're that good, you have a notorious chip on

2105
01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:45,680
Speaker 5: your shoulder, and I think Jonathan Taylor plays like that.

2106
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:49,680
Speaker 1: Stacey Dale's I'm just gonna remind people, like before we

2107
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:54,760
Speaker 1: come in outstanding NFL reporter and broadcaster. People forget she

2108
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: was an All Star in the w NBA and was

2109
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: an All American in Oklahoma in basketball. I'm going to

2110
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 1: ask you this kind of out of left field, and

2111
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: I know you haven't paid close attentions because you're not

2112
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: covering it. But we missed Caitlin Clark the second half

2113
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 1: of the season because of an injury here in Indiana

2114
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,000
Speaker 1: with the fever. We had Kelsey Mitchell who had an

2115
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: amazing season, and they still came within one game of

2116
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: going to the WNBA finals. How good is this team

2117
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 1: set up to be moving forward. I know there's a

2118
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of work stoppage and things like that, but from

2119
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, what do you see as a

2120
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 1: former pro basketball player?

2121
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:30,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I do follow the Fever. They're my faves,

2122
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:34,839
Speaker 5: Like I can't Thanks for bringing this up because Stephanie

2123
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 5: White actually coached me in Chicago nice for a season

2124
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 5: when I played for the Sky and what she did

2125
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:47,639
Speaker 5: with that team without Caitlin and so and Lax and

2126
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 5: just what the Kelsey first of all, like, if I

2127
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 5: could go back in time, if you put a time

2128
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 5: machine on me and you said, Stace, can you go

2129
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 5: play for a team. I am going to the Indiana Fever.

2130
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,839
Speaker 5: I am like talking to my agent. I'm begging to

2131
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 5: get me there. I don't care what it costs, what

2132
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 5: the cost is for me to take a pay cut,

2133
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 5: whatever it is, Like, I want to go play on

2134
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 5: that team because, first of all, like I've never seen

2135
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,839
Speaker 5: anything like Caitlin Clark. Okay, I've played. I played against

2136
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 5: the best of the best, Diana Tarassi, Sue Bird, Lisa Leslie.

2137
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 5: I mean, the list goes on. Tamika Catching's greatest competitor

2138
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 5: I've ever faced. You guys know her well, they're in Indy.

2139
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 5: Caitlin Clark is extraordinary. She is. When you talk about,

2140
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 5: you know, generational talents, the only time you should bring

2141
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 5: that term up is when somebody actually changes the landscape

2142
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 5: of whatever it is. And Michael Jordan did that. Everybody

2143
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 5: wanted to play like him after that. Now all the

2144
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 5: kids coming up want to play like Caitlin. They're starting

2145
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 5: to shoot threes from forty feet. And I was always

2146
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 5: taught as a kid when you play basketball, like get

2147
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 5: to get to the close, get as close as the

2148
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 5: basket as you can because the percentage goes up. So like,

2149
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 5: if you're going to shoot a three, make sure your

2150
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 5: toes are on the three point line. No, these kids

2151
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 5: now are changing the way they play and the way

2152
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 5: they train because of Kitlin Clark and then the whole

2153
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 5: nucleus surrounding. Like to have Pippen and Jordan, like Kelsey

2154
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:24,600
Speaker 5: and Caitlin is ultra special. I think that team is

2155
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 5: going to be sensational next season, and I can't wait

2156
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 5: to follow it and watch it.

2157
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun. Well, hey, can

2159
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:33,759

01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 7: You got it, Thanks guys.

2165
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,560
Speaker 1: Here she is literally one of my favorite people in

2166
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 1: the business. Chains I was telling you that before the

2167
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:50,640
Speaker 1: break here. Stacey Dale's terrific.

2168
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,880
Speaker 3: One of the best in the business. Again, the senior

2169
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 3: reporter for NFL Network and certainly does a fantastic job.

2170
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 3: I think game you can catch Commanders Dolphins, which airs

2171
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 3: Sunday at nine thirty am Eastern Time from Madrid exclusively

2172
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,040
Speaker 3: on NFL Network, and it's available to stream across otherwise

2173
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:09,719
Speaker 3: with NFL Plus.

2174
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: You probably just can't get a place in Europe and

2175
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,240
Speaker 1: just stay over there for all the games that they

2176
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 1: have over a.

2177
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:18,080
Speaker 4: Bad Life that the Falcons Colts game averaged six million

2178
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 4: viewers and is the second most watched Germany International game

2179
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:21,599
Speaker 4: on records.

2180
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,599
Speaker 1: Bad for nine to thirty in the morning, Not bad

2181
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: six thirty out west.

2182
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 4: Helps when that game is actually really competitive and entertaining,

2183
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 4: because that was a hell of a game. Yeah, this

2184
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 4: this one on Sunday, the morning game is not gonna

2185
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 4: be good. Dolphins commanders, Oh you're gonna sleep in for

2186
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 4: that one?

2187
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 5: Ugh?

2188
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 4: I mean I might get up. The kids don't sleep

2189
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 4: in on Sundays, so I'll probably be up watching it.

2190
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 4: But it's not gonna be an enjoyable watch.

2191
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 1: I know the Dolphins had a big game against the Bills,

2192
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 1: but it kind of feels over the last couple of

2193
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:47,760
Speaker 1: weeks like maybe they've steadied themselves. I don't think they're

2194
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:51,679
Speaker 1: gonna be a factor in any races in the AFC

2195
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but they could play spoiler. They

2196
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: still have some pretty good players there. I mean, the

2197
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: amount of Asan was just running over everybody all Sunday.

2198
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 3: I think that as the example of the NFL being weird,

2199
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 3: and it certainly can be weekend and week out.

2200
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So that's what's going on with the

2201
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,760
Speaker 1: Colts there on the bye They play again week from

2202
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 1: Sunday against Kansas City. More on that in the moment,

2203
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 1: it's time to check it down. One thing that keeps

2204
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: coming up about this Indianapolis Colts team, James, and I

2205
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: want you to comment on it, is everybody I talk

2206
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: to that's been in there says there is something that

2207
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: feels different within that locker room, within that team, Like

2208
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 1: what can you put your finger on that and maybe

2209
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:35,720
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about something like that Because

2210
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: you're around the team all the time.

2211
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:39,919
Speaker 4: I think it's hard to just the quarterback.

2212
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 3: I think Daniel Jones is the best quarterback they've had

2213
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,080
Speaker 3: since Philip Rivers, and ironically Philips with the last quarterbacks

2214
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 3: to take you to the playoffs in twenty twenty.

2215
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 4: Well beyond that, I think.

2216
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,719
Speaker 3: Every year guys say, oh, we're fer Chris, we're together,

2217
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 3: we want to win. You have better players and it

2218
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 3: shows and you're going all in because of those players.

2219
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:03,719
Speaker 1: Does it change Anybody's not changed, but elevate the feeling

2220
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 1: when management goes out and they make a deal like

2221
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: bringing in a Sauce Gardner say hey, we're all in

2222
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:10,040
Speaker 1: on you guys this year.

2223
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 4: I think so.

2224
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 3: I think it gives a lot of confidence, especially the veterans,

2225
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 3: the Quentin Nelson's, the DeForest Buckner's Desire, Franklins, the.

2226
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 4: Kenny moore is.

2227
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 3: Those who have been there, and if you look at

2228
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 3: the overall landscape of the team, it's hard to imagine

2229
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 3: them having a very long window when a lot of

2230
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 3: your best players are in there. You know, I want

2231
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 3: to say early thirties, you know, I think the Forest

2232
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 3: Buckners might be thirty one. I think Zaieers, Sam Ages

2233
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 3: me twenty nine, Kenny Moore's thirty. So yeah, you're very

2234
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 3: good at the moment and you want to seize that.

2235
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, when you take a look at the latest

2236
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 1: odds for NFL MVP, we were just talking to Stacey

2237
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: Dale's about that. Even after that huge game, Johnthan Taylor

2238
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,880
Speaker 1: is third right now, behind two quarterbacks Drake May at

2239
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,679
Speaker 1: plus three hundred Matthew Stafford at plus three hundred as well,

2240
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 1: and then Jonathan Taylor at plus five hundred, but really

2241
01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 1: not that far behind in just in front of Patrick Mahomes.

2242
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not too surprised.

2243
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to have again an all time great

2244
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 3: season to push for an MVP award at the running

2245
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,760
Speaker 3: back position, mainly because, like I said, my guy that

2246
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking at right now is Matthew Stafford. And if

2247
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 3: a quarterback is on pace to end the year with

2248
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 3: forty touchdowns only four interceptions, it'll be very hard not

2249
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 3: to give him any MVP.

2250
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 1: You gotta go all the way back to the thirteenth

2251
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:28,440
Speaker 1: best odds. I guess longest odds for a non quarterback

2252
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 1: would be thirteenth in line, and that would be Jackson

2253
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba. How about that? Mm hmm, interesting.

2254
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 4: Star your company with JSN. You're doing something right.

2255
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 1: That guy's having a very good year, isn't he? All right?

2256
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: Uh So it'll be Kansas City Chiefs a week from Sunday.

2257
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: Uh You enjoy your sleeping in Mark. You don't have

2258
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:46,960
Speaker 1: to worry about an exciting game.

2259
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:48,400
Speaker 4: I'm going to be up like my kids are gonna

2260
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 4: wake me up, what time for?

2261
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: What time they get? Oh?

2262
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 4: God, when the clock's changed back there? Up at six am?

2263
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, what are we doing here?

2264
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:56,800
Speaker 1: Jumping on the bed? Oh my god?

2265
01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 4: Like where's the I need a pad lock or something.

2266
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 3: So which is saying is all these early mornings for

2267
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 3: radio doesn't prepare you for moments like that?

2268
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 4: Still? No, no, not Fridays and Saturdays of the days

2269
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 4: to sleep in, gotcha? No, no, no. When the clocks went

2270
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:12,559
Speaker 4: back there, they were like, well they didn't know. They

2271
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,639
Speaker 4: had no idea what it's really dark outside? Like, yeah,

2272
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:16,880
Speaker 4: because it's still the night time.

2273
01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:19,559
Speaker 1: Did they get see the rays side you show.

2274
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 4: The oldest did the other two are already sleeping high?

2275
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:23,840
Speaker 3: So I am also against moving the clocks back. I

2276
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 3: will say that I think that it did. Getting dark

2277
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 3: at five is crazy.

2278
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: I'll tell you.

2279
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 4: I digress.

2280
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:31,640
Speaker 1: I talk about digressing though. You know who doesn't care

2281
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 1: about the time change. Dogs when they when it's time

2282
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 1: for them to eat, they're getting up and they're like, man,

2283
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 1: let's go yeah, well they're on a clock.

2284
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:43,840
Speaker 4: Do your apparently duties? Dogs and kids about the same guys.

2285
01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 4: See the the NFL news that isn't coming coming across

2286
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 4: the wire here, but you go the Giants. Oh, I

2287
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 4: did see this. Expected to start none other than Jameis

2288
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 4: Winston against the Packers, I would hammer the pack The

2289
01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 4: Giants are getting a million points on Sunday, Jamis went

2290
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:01,600
Speaker 4: AND's gonna lead them to a w I.

2291
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:04,160
Speaker 7: Feel like you, like, I'm just praying for the Lords

2292
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:05,759
Speaker 7: to deliver me from pick sixes.

2293
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 1: No, he will.

2294
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:08,599
Speaker 4: Don't worry. Hang in there, Jamis.

2295
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: You got.

2296
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 3: He's probably one of the funniest characters in NFL history.

2297
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 3: But to your point, I think he's kind of like

2298
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, where if he's give an opportunity to air

2299
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 3: it out, it could be very good and very bad,

2300
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 3: like he might throw three touchdown passes and three picks

2301
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 3: in the same game.

2302
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm all locked in now, like Giants Packers. I was like,

2303
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 4: I was thinking the Packers were going to roll. Now

2304
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:27,759
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, no, no. So from what I understand,

2305
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:28,599
Speaker 4: he's QB two.

2306
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 3: He's only going to start because Jackson died a concussion protocol.

2307
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 4: Then that will make Russell Wilson QB three.

2308
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:34,479
Speaker 1: Right.

2309
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:36,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Russ did not look very good against the Bakers.

2310
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 1: Russ is looking It's time for Russ to go do

2311
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:44,600
Speaker 1: something else. Man's that's what suck. Yeah, let's roll, you

2312
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: be You've been queuing all those up for fifteen minutes.

2313
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:49,640
Speaker 4: Now I saw that news and I started salivating. I'm like,

2314
01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 4: let's go. I'm on giants all right.

2315
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:55,200
Speaker 1: Back to the checkdown here. The Indiana Pacers losing in

2316
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: Utah last night one fifty two to one twenty eight.

2317
01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: They got out to a twenty to ten and then

2318
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 1: it just all went away. Laurie Marketing had thirty five

2319
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 1: points and Utah was shooting the lights out, shooting their

2320
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:09,679
Speaker 1: minds out, and they end up winning by twenty four.

2321
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 1: Pacers were led by Pascal Siakam with twenty seven, Andrew

2322
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: Nemahart had twenty five, Isaiah Jackson twelve points, ten rebounds,

2323
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: but burying the lead again. TJ McConnell returns to the lineup.

2324
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: He had twelve points and eleven minutes in his little

2325
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,880
Speaker 1: spark plug self, but Rick Carlisle carefully monitoring his minutes

2326
01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 1: in his first game back.

2327
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and that makes sense. You don't want to

2328
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 3: overdo it, especially when you're not really pushing for something.

2329
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 3: It made a lot of sense clearly to play Tyres

2330
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,600
Speaker 3: Halliburton in Game seven of the NBA Finals. But for

2331
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 3: a guy just coming back from a hamstring injury and

2332
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 3: what game eleven of the year, you want to be

2333
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 3: smart with that, But you're just hoping that at some

2334
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 3: point you can get a win to get that off

2335
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 3: your back, that weight off your back of you know,

2336
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 3: trying to figure out how do we navigate such a

2337
01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 3: new season that feels so different than it was because it.

2338
01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 4: Is the bets already in placed. The Giants are seven

2339
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:00,799
Speaker 4: point dogs against Packers of the bat that has been placed.

2340
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: There you go, they're going down. Also, last night college basketball,

2341
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: Butler at home at Heinklefield House, beating Chicago State ninety

2342
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 1: eight to sixty six. Philly Bisjack had twenty two point

2343
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 1: six assists, Michael Lajai had ten points and eleven rebounds.

2344
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,719
Speaker 1: And they were shooting the ball well last night too,

2345
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: seventeen to thirty six from three point range. They were

2346
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: getting that. They were running and gunning last night too.

2347
01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: So they will play again this weekend in Texas against

2348
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: Southern Methodist University. Tonight in college basketball, Milwaukee will play

2349
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,759
Speaker 1: at Indiana. That one starts at seven pm. Pregame starts

2350
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: at six thirty over on ninety three point one FMWIBC.

2351
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: And then tomorrow the Boilermakers play a top ten matchup

2352
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 1: on the road at Alabama, number two against number eight.

2353
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: That is must see TV right there, James.

2354
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 4: Boyd, absolutely, I will be locked in.

2355
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,040
Speaker 3: It is the bye week for the Colts that have

2356
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,439
Speaker 3: some work to do, but none of that work will

2357
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 3: be happening during those games.

2358
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: All right. Some other national news, the Dallas Mavericks have

2359
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 1: fired general manager Nico Harrison less than a year after

2360
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 1: he traded Lukadancics to the Los Angeles Lakers. I'll give

2361
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: it up to the Dallas Maverick fans. They were unrelenting

2362
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,600
Speaker 1: from the day that trade happened till just right the

2363
01:45:12,680 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: game that he got fired. They were protesting outside the

2364
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: arena and every night in a home game there was

2365
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,559
Speaker 1: a chance of fire Nico. The fans got it done.

2366
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fans need to stick with it and

2367
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 3: try to fire their owner as well. I feel like

2368
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 3: any owner that signs off on that deal deserves a.

2369
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:30,000
Speaker 4: Lot of blame.

2370
01:45:30,040 --> 01:45:32,559
Speaker 3: And I'm joking little tongue in cheek there. You can't

2371
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,839
Speaker 3: fire owners, otherwise everyone in Chicago will be gone.

2372
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 4: Mark, but just look at it two decades ago. I know.

2373
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 3: But Dallas Mavericks Governor Patrick DeMont, you are not blameless here.

2374
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 3: You had to sign off on that, and some of

2375
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 3: the comments he made after that trade happened made it

2376
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 3: very clear that he was on board with that decision too.

2377
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 1: Mm hm. A couple of other NFL notes. Jaguars to wa.

2378
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:59,080
Speaker 1: Rookie Travis Hunter has knee surgery. His season over. It's

2379
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:03,200
Speaker 1: the LS not the ACL or the PCL, the LCL.

2380
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 4: Whatever it is. I just know it isn't good.

2381
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:08,680
Speaker 3: So, you know, wishing him a speedy recovery, but he's

2382
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 3: gone to miss the rest of the year, which from

2383
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 3: a competitive standpoint only, I'm not saying it's a personal standpoint,

2384
01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 3: but in football, when injuries do happen to keep players,

2385
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,080
Speaker 3: it does usually help the other team. So look at

2386
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 3: the Colts to get kind of a break there not

2387
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 3: having to face one of the top rookies in this

2388
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 3: year's class.

2389
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 1: All right to sign a Samuel Junior has signed with

2390
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers to bolster their secondary and so also

2391
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:33,559
Speaker 1: tell you that the Eagles gyre Alexander stepped away from

2392
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,680
Speaker 1: the team. He is mulling retirement.

2393
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:39,760
Speaker 3: Honestly, I know people can make fun of it, but

2394
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 3: I do think there is a big emphasis like identity

2395
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 3: when it comes to playing sports, and when that conversation

2396
01:46:46,439 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 3: creeps in your head of what do I do next?

2397
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a hard one to have. So he

2398
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 3: should be very serious about that, because you don't want

2399
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:53,600
Speaker 3: to play football if you're not all in it with

2400
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:55,600
Speaker 3: your heart, mind and body. But even if you do

2401
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 3: eventually walk away from it, at least you this in

2402
01:46:58,200 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 3: this case, seems like he'll be doing it on his

2403
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 3: own terms.

2404
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 1: All right. A couple of college basketball games of note

2405
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: last night too, Louisville over Kentucky ninety six to eighty eight,

2406
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 1: and James the Fighting Alie Night got an eighty one

2407
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 1: seventy seven win over Texas Tech last night.

2408
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:15,360
Speaker 3: This is a pretty good games that I did not

2409
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 3: watch a second of it. To be honest with you,

2410
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 3: I thought about.

2411
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 4: It sleep at that point.

2412
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2413
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 3: I decided to get some rest and try to bounce

2414
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 3: it back. But I feel pretty good. The jet lag,

2415
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't feel it right now. Maybe i'll feel later,

2416
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 3: but it feels like any other morning. How about Caitlyn

2417
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:31,559
Speaker 3: Clark back in action you guys seeing us. She's teed

2418
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 3: off now at Anika the LPGA. Yeah, And from what

2419
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 3: I understand, like she doesn't do any like formal interviews

2420
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:39,800
Speaker 3: or nothing like that, because I'm sure there will be

2421
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 3: somebody there that'd be like, hey, wait a second, how's

2422
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:42,799
Speaker 3: the ankle?

2423
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 4: How are you doing? Are you playing five or five

2424
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 4: basketball again?

2425
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 3: So hopefully she doesn't have to deal with any of that,

2426
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,160
Speaker 3: even though I will be the guy asking that same

2427
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 3: question if I was there.

2428
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:53,480
Speaker 4: But it's good to have her, you know, get away.

2429
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 3: From sort of the the throes of a bad season

2430
01:47:57,880 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 3: injury wise, and get back to having some joy out

2431
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 3: there from a competitive standpoint, Like I saw that someone said,

2432
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 3: what's your fit check?

2433
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:03,880
Speaker 4: What are you wearing?

2434
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:04,080
Speaker 7: Chick?

2435
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 4: I'm wearing clothes, So it's a funny take care, what

2436
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 4: do you want from me? I don't know.

2437
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 3: She's got some pretty dry humor, and I think it's

2438
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 3: increased since the stardom has kind of happened. And I've

2439
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 3: learned is she's kind of like, rick, you you got

2440
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 3: to come with it with the questions, otherwise she will

2441
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:20,840
Speaker 3: dunk on you.

2442
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,400
Speaker 1: One of the things I've noticed just in little viral

2443
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 1: video clips or just observing in pregame. When I've watched

2444
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 1: the team around each other a couple of practices I've

2445
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 1: been to what I like about we forget that these

2446
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 1: are young women, sometimes a lot of them under the

2447
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 1: age of twenty five, twenty twenty one, twenty three, twenty five,

2448
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 1: that age, they're not they when they're just by themselves,

2449
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: they're just kind of goofy kids together. It's fun to watch.

2450
01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 3: You forget that sometimes, Yea, I should say, honestly, that's

2451
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:48,720
Speaker 3: like that's the case with every team, though I would

2452
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 3: even argue that the NFL is like that. The NBA

2453
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 3: is like that when they're having a great time and

2454
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,680
Speaker 3: they're together and it's not necessarily like I have to

2455
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 3: sit down for this formal interview when James Woy's gonna

2456
01:48:57,600 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 3: ask me all these hard questions about the team whatever,

2457
01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,479
Speaker 3: and not saying every question I ask for anybody else

2458
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 3: asks is hard. But yeah, I do think there's moments

2459
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,600
Speaker 3: where they get kind of lost in it and you

2460
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:07,919
Speaker 3: remember that it's all a game.

2461
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up at a moment. A little more

2462
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 1: college basketball talk as we continue, and we'll also get

2463
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 1: to your thoughts on the fan text line two, three, nine, ten,

2464
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 1: seventy straight Ahead. Got a little basketball tonight down in Bloomington.

2465
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch. I kind of like

2466
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: the style that Devrees is bringing with all the new

2467
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 1: players and certainly his son getting up and down the

2468
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 1: floor quickly shooting threes. They're gonna be I don't know

2469
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 1: how good they're gonna be, James, but they're gonna be

2470
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 1: entertaining to watch, at least what I've seen so far

2471
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 1: these first couple of games.

2472
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I would certainly agree there.

2473
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 3: And I also think that I trust Darren Devrees already

2474
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 3: because his son is actually good. Most college coaches and

2475
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:53,719
Speaker 3: their sons, you're on the team, but you're not getting buckets.

2476
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 4: His son can get out for real.

2477
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:57,040
Speaker 3: I want to say, the player of the year in

2478
01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 3: the NBC a couple of years and then going from

2479
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 3: Drake to Virginia.

2480
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 4: Had the injury last year and looks to be healthy

2481
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 4: this year.

2482
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: We had a guy here who was a coach's son

2483
01:50:05,720 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: to pretty good. Doug McDermott, Great, he could play a

2484
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: little bit now.

2485
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:10,640
Speaker 4: Was another one. Yes he can get buckets. Yeah, you

2486
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 4: do on like get the scrub off the team. Yeah,

2487
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 4: every night I'm like this dead Daddy ball again. Here

2488
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 4: we go.

2489
01:50:15,560 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 1: Man. So that'll be coming your way later on tonight.

2490
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:20,599
Speaker 1: You'll be able to listen to it on our sister station,

2491
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: WIBC ninety three point one FM. Looking forward to that,

2492
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 1: and then, I honestly can't wait. I'm looking forward getting

2493
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 1: my popcorn ready for a Purdue Alabama tomorrow night. There's

2494
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 1: some good college basketball coming our way this week. I'm

2495
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Yes, sir, all right, we'll see

2496
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: how that goes. I meanwhile, quick question on the WFNZ.

2497
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, thank you very much. Give me the buzzer

2498
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:43,640
Speaker 1: mark right there, going to ninety three five one oh

2499
01:50:43,680 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 1: seven five the fan. Quick question here on the on

2500
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 1: the text line there, uh crypto Jedi once to know

2501
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 1: when we're back talking about the coat, should we be

2502
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:56,799
Speaker 1: concerned about the batted down passes? Seems like that's happening

2503
01:50:56,840 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 1: to Jones at a high clip or is that just

2504
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: something to attribute to the line being off lately or

2505
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 1: what's going on there? James?

2506
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 4: Were there a lot of bad I don't remember in

2507
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 4: Atlanta one of them? Do you remember Atlanta?

2508
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 3: But versus Atlanta I remember without being a bigger issue

2509
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 3: against the Steelers.

2510
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 4: But again, I have to go back and watch it out.

2511
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 4: I'll apologize.

2512
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 3: I would hate to speak out of turn here and say, oh,

2513
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 3: this is the exact issue. I haven't watched much of

2514
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 3: anything since getting back to America, but I.

2515
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:23,200
Speaker 4: Played for Eyelids.

2516
01:51:23,720 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but I plan on trying to get back

2517
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 3: on track here the next couple of days.

2518
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:29,200
Speaker 1: James Gael coming to America.

2519
01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. So it's Eddie Murphy. Yeah yeah,

2520
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 3: that was a classic.

2521
01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: Uh tyler from Washington State here and he says, got

2522
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of a long question for you guys. Being a

2523
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 1: Colts fan in the Seattle area, I get the chance

2524
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 1: to see the Colts in my area maybe once every

2525
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 1: four years in person. Usually I'm looking at getting visitors

2526
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:51,559
Speaker 1: sideline field tickets for the Colts Seahawks. However, I've never

2527
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: been to a sporting event in person where the team

2528
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:56,160
Speaker 1: I was rooting for one my high school was oh

2529
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 1: to thirty when I attended games, lost all three of

2530
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:01,519
Speaker 1: the Sonics games I went to as a kid. I've

2531
01:52:01,560 --> 01:52:04,759
Speaker 1: never seen the Mariners win in person, including both games

2532
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 1: lost at home during the Blue Jays series and the

2533
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,479
Speaker 1: one time I bought tickets to fly to Indy for

2534
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 1: the Colts. Andrew Luck retires a week later and we

2535
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: lose to the Dolphins. Do I just stay home or

2536
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: risk getting risk going to the game? I asked KB

2537
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: on his eye on his pod. But after the last

2538
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: two weeks, I'm extra scared about going and possibly bringing

2539
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,200
Speaker 1: bad juju when they play the Seahawks later this year,

2540
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 1: I'd say stay home and watch this on TV, is

2541
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:30,040
Speaker 1: what I would say.

2542
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 3: I'm just saying go because at this point the Colts

2543
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 3: are different.

2544
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:34,280
Speaker 7: Man.

2545
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:36,839
Speaker 3: They want a season opener for the first times. Twenty thirteen,

2546
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 3: they were two to zero for the first time. Two

2547
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:42,679
Speaker 3: thousand and nine, They're off to a fantastic start. They

2548
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 3: got a quarterback traded for Sauce Gardner. Everything that you

2549
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 3: think is not possible right now for the Colts is so.

2550
01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:50,640
Speaker 3: I think it's possible for you to go and win.

2551
01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:53,200
Speaker 3: It's a win in person. And then the other point

2552
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 3: I want to make is your high school team going

2553
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 3: zher to thirty when you that is not on you, brother,

2554
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 3: scrubs out there, guy. They have future, you know, corporate workers.

2555
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:05,320
Speaker 3: They had no athletes on that team going on thirty

2556
01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:08,439
Speaker 3: is outrageous. I was on a bad, bad basketball team.

2557
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 3: Ill senior year of high school. I still think we

2558
01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 3: won like five or six games. You cannot go O

2559
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:15,640
Speaker 3: four in a basketball season. Assuming this is what he's

2560
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 3: talking about, at least talk about football. And that's all

2561
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:20,799
Speaker 3: and thirty over the four years. Nevertheless, that ain't your fault.

2562
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 3: So I'll give you a pass there and all the

2563
01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 3: other ones. It's water under the bridge. This are the

2564
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:28,480
Speaker 3: new colts Man. That voodoo stuff don't work on them. Otherwise,

2565
01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 3: you know it would.

2566
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 4: Have worked in Berlin when they needed JT not to

2567
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:32,760
Speaker 4: be superhuman and he was Mark.

2568
01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 1: Do you remember a movie with William H. Macy about

2569
01:53:35,320 --> 01:53:36,880
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago called The Cooler?

2570
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 4: I have heard of it. I don't think I've ever

2571
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 4: seen it, though.

2572
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 1: So he worked at a casino. In his entire job,

2573
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 1: he was just he was a walking black cloud. Every

2574
01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 1: time he sat down at a table, everybody at the

2575
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:51,280
Speaker 1: table lost and the casino made money. So the casino

2576
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 1: hired him to just every time somebody was on a roll,

2577
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 1: go sit down next to that guy at the table. Boy,

2578
01:53:57,200 --> 01:53:59,120
Speaker 1: sounds like we might have a cooler here.

2579
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,960
Speaker 4: Kevin or James just went full Kevin Garnett there with

2580
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 4: he said anything's possible. With the Anything's possible, Anything's possible.

2581
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 3: And then my favorite part about that clip is you

2582
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 3: have to cut it right there because as soon as

2583
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 3: you keep playing it, he starts cursing and shouting out

2584
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:20,120
Speaker 3: all these people back home that might be affiliated.

2585
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 4: With other things.

2586
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:22,800
Speaker 3: And I'm like, yeah, you can't repeat that on the air,

2587
01:54:22,880 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 3: but shout out to KG man, anything's possible for he's

2588
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts right now.

2589
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 4: I love Kevin Garnett back in the day. God, I

2590
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 4: love that game.

2591
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:30,559
Speaker 1: Look, if you want to go to a game, Tyler

2592
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:33,040
Speaker 1: Godo a game, you gotta always take advantage of the

2593
01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: experiences life gives you, don't you.

2594
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, take it for somebody who's been

2595
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 3: too many games. I've seen a lot of stupid things happen.

2596
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 3: I saw the coach bots biggest lead the NFL history,

2597
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:43,680
Speaker 3: and a couple of years later they're no. Number One

2598
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:46,520
Speaker 3: seeing the AFC. So things can change. Brother, you never

2599
01:54:46,560 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen. Exactly might see an all time great. Yeah,

2600
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 3: you gotta trust in the new owner, Carlo said Gordon,

2601
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:55,280
Speaker 3: she ain't messing around, and the rest of the crew,

2602
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,040
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones we know as far as Bodwe's go, he

2603
01:54:58,080 --> 01:54:58,960
Speaker 3: will not go anywhere.

2604
01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 4: He's probably the.

2605
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:02,560
Speaker 3: Facility right now washingt tape, knowing how obsessive he is,

2606
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 3: so uh in all serious is go and enjoy the game, man.

2607
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 3: And if you see me out there, my first time

2608
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 3: to see out on myself, So say what's.

2609
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 4: Up, hey? If the game stinks, start the beer snake,

2610
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 4: get that going in the crowd.

2611
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 1: People love it. Speaking of beer, did you see Carly

2612
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 1: or say Gordon buying around for all the Colts fans.

2613
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was cool, man, from what I understand.

2614
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 3: And that's one thing I did regret missing, and it's

2615
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,600
Speaker 3: because of the travel. I didn't get a chance to

2616
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:29,360
Speaker 3: really go over to a lot of the fans stuff

2617
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 3: before the game. I did see some of that stuff afterwards,

2618
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 3: some remnants of NFL uh you know, signage and things

2619
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 3: like that. But a lot of the Colts fans that

2620
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:39,160
Speaker 3: I did interact with at the game were telling me

2621
01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 3: they had a good time getting to know Kaylin, Carl Lee,

2622
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 3: interacting with them, getting selfies, autographs, beer, whatever the case

2623
01:55:47,240 --> 01:55:49,800
Speaker 3: may be. So they were very well received over there,

2624
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:52,840
Speaker 3: and rightfully so, because who'll be mad at ownership? Right now,

2625
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 3: considering they have the best record in the NFL.

2626
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: I like the fact too, she's telling people if the

2627
01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:59,480
Speaker 1: if the fire is burning, throw some throw some gas

2628
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,120
Speaker 1: on it. Let's oh get that kerosene.

2629
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah that was a nice little antidote there from Stacy Dale's.

2630
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. How about this one from Dan who says, I

2631
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: you may have hit it out of the park man

2632
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 1: sig for football and double D for the basketball program.

2633
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 1: Phenomenal selections. Also, while I'm on this, Kevin being out

2634
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 1: made me realize how much I enjoy the show with

2635
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 1: Kevin and his coverages him and bringing James Boyd home

2636
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:23,160
Speaker 1: may be the best choice this one O seven point

2637
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,720
Speaker 1: five program has done. How about that?

2638
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you know, anytime you bring me a boar

2639
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:30,120
Speaker 3: for any project, it's gonna be the best thing you

2640
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:31,600
Speaker 3: ever did. That's all my parents. Every time I look

2641
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 3: at him, Hey, I'm the best thing that happened in

2642
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 3: your entire life. Okay, And I'll tell him this weekend

2643
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 3: about him.

2644
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take credit to this one too, because I

2645
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:38,080
Speaker 1: hired Mark too.

2646
01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 3: There you go, But no, thanks for listening. I certainly

2647
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:43,920
Speaker 3: think it's a privilege beyond these airwaves. Pretty much every day,

2648
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 3: and we're looking forward to having KB back when he

2649
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,480
Speaker 3: is taking a temporary absence from day Dune equals you

2650
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 3: you know, that's year round and clock around as well.

2651
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:56,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, it's been fun, and I think over

2652
01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 3: the last year we've had a lot of opportunities to

2653
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 3: cover so crazy highs, some unique types of lows. I mean,

2654
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:08,000
Speaker 3: the day of one of the most iconic games and

2655
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:10,320
Speaker 3: Pacers basketball history in and the playoffs was the same

2656
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 3: thing that Jim Irsey passed away and we had the

2657
01:57:11,880 --> 01:57:14,200
Speaker 3: kind of third that needle there too. So it's been

2658
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 3: a wild ride this year, but one that continues to give,

2659
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,200
Speaker 3: and I think for the Colt's purposes, it could get

2660
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 3: even wilder in a good way for this team. So

2661
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 3: I'm a little concerned, like I said, about the offensive line.

2662
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:26,640
Speaker 4: And some of the turnovers.

2663
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 3: But as I wrote my story after leaving Berlin, I

2664
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 3: can't really point the finger anybody on the Colts and

2665
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 3: say you didn't do enough. I think that they're you know,

2666
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:39,640
Speaker 3: it gets to a point jump and I jumped, sorry, Jeff,

2667
01:57:39,680 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 3: where we they've They've gotten so good that we have

2668
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 3: to criticize everything, And I kind of forget a little

2669
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:51,400
Speaker 3: bit myself, Like, wait a second.

2670
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,280
Speaker 4: They're still eight and two, which is pretty ridiculous.

2671
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 1: They're getting it done and the win and lost column.

2672
01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 1: They getting it done in point spreads as far as

2673
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 1: the point differential in the NFL, they're getting done in

2674
01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: the conference record. I mean, there's not a lot to

2675
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 1: be unhappy with, other than you want perfection. I guess

2676
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:09,880
Speaker 1: at some point, as I always say, Mark, you always

2677
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 1: want a little bit more than you're ever gonna get.

2678
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 1: That's how that works, all right, Coming up in a moment,

2679
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:16,680
Speaker 1: we'll get a couple of other texts off before the

2680
01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 1: end of the show. Get some final thoughts. See what

2681
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:21,720
Speaker 1: these guys are up to on their evening. James probably

2682

Speaker 1: just gonna catch up on sleep, but we'll find out

2683

2721
01:59:47,400 --> 01:59:51,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City in the playoffs. Win Captain comeback, just let

2722
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:53,560
Speaker 1: her rip. And the spread on that game was Casey

2723
01:59:53,600 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: minus eleven, and you all know the Colts not only

2724
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: covered but won that game. Take the Colts and the

2725
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 1: points when they play in Kansas.

2726
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:03,760
Speaker 3: Oh boy, that is some bold talk. There was that

2727
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 3: the game that Andrew luck Like fumbled and he picked it.

2728
02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:08,879
Speaker 4: Up and ran it in trying to think.

2729
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:11,440
Speaker 1: That I was at that game that was it Lucas Oil.

2730
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:14,880
Speaker 4: Because I can't remember it. Captain comeback? Oh he means, like,

2731
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 4: oh harball days all this way before my time.

2732
02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:24,360

2733
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 1: but it's not the worst movie. It's not on the

2734
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Titanic level of horrible movie.

2735
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 4: You don't need oscar Worthy all the time. Sometimes a

2736
02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:32,440
Speaker 4: bad a movie is so bad it's good, and that

2737
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 4: is the case of Face Off. It's so corny, it's nineties.

2738
02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:39,120
Speaker 4: Nicholas Cage is like on a thousand with the facial

2739
02:00:39,120 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 4: expressions and insanity. That's all you need. You don't need,

2740
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 4: I don't need Oscar winners. Give me some entertainment. I'm

2741
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 4: not gonna lie.

2742
02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:47,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes when we watch those shows and they get what

2743
02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:50,080
Speaker 3: the awards for the movies.

2744

2755
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:23,200

2768
02:01:55,360 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 3: we came out a perfect time for the Colts. Your offense,

2769
02:01:57,640 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 3: which has been great so far, you're having a little

2770
02:01:59,200 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 3: bit of issues up for quarterback play. You get a

2771
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:05,000
Speaker 3: chance to reset and with those two brains getting back

2772
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 3: to the drawing board and Shane slacking Daniel Jones, I

2773
02:02:07,200 --> 02:02:09,440
Speaker 3: do expect them to find some solutions there. And then

2774
02:02:09,440 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 3: the offensive line, Tony Ronald Junior, you get a chance

2775
02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:13,720
Speaker 3: to kind of reassess some things and figure out.

2776
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:17,400
Speaker 4: Okay, where do we go from here? But overall, being

2777
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:18,040
Speaker 4: eight and two.

2778
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Like I said, you reset at quarterback at with your

2779
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:23,600
Speaker 3: offensive line and get get that cleaned up.

2780
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 4: You're a little bit healthier. Perhaps you get your rareos

2781
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:27,000
Speaker 4: money warrant back.

2782
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:29,400
Speaker 3: After the bye I know old DeForest Buckner will still

2783
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 3: be out, but this to me is about as good

2784
02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 3: of a bye week as you can ask for, just

2785
02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:37,120
Speaker 3: hitting where your team is and then how healthy you

2786
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,240
Speaker 3: want to be for that home stretch because in my mind,

2787
02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:40,640
Speaker 3: with the Forest Buckner in particular.

2788
02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:42,880
Speaker 4: We can get into this throughout the rest of the week.

2789
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:46,879
Speaker 3: I think that at this point, with the neck injury,

2790
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:49,040
Speaker 3: him being on an IR, not being ruled out for

2791
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 3: the year, you just want to get him back for

2792
02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:52,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs at this point.

2793
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 4: So hey, if.

2794
02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 3: You you know, if you lose a game or whatever

2795
02:02:55,440 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 3: down the stretch, because you should have had you got,

2796
02:02:57,560 --> 02:03:00,080
Speaker 3: don't matter if you finished with one more loss and

2797
02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 3: probably should have had whatever. You want that guy ready

2798
02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 3: to go when it's do or die, want to go?

2799
02:03:05,440 --> 02:03:07,600
Speaker 1: You know exactly what and how that happened.

2800
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:11,280
Speaker 3: No, No, unfortunately we do not. Followed up with Shane

2801
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:15,240
Speaker 3: on Monday, and he just said that, yes, initially there

2802
02:03:15,240 --> 02:03:17,120
Speaker 3: were no injuries coming out of the Pittsburgh game, but

2803
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:19,520
Speaker 3: I guess Buckner came in with some neck pain and

2804
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:22,000
Speaker 3: then got further testing and now he's on IR. So

2805
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:23,760
Speaker 3: the hope is that he will return, but we don't

2806
02:03:23,760 --> 02:03:25,440
Speaker 3: even have a time table for his return. But my

2807
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:29,960
Speaker 3: whole thing is he's eligible technically to return, I believe

2808
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 3: in Week fifteen against the Seattle Seahawks. But again, if

2809
02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:34,520
Speaker 3: you want to hold him out and say, hey, we

2810
02:03:34,600 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 3: just need you to be ready to go come week

2811
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 3: one of the postseason.

2812
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:39,640
Speaker 4: I'm good with that. And you tell that, you tell

2813
02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:41,840
Speaker 4: that Colts fan attend the game. We're breaking streaks, yes,

2814
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:46,320
Speaker 4: exactly one streaking week one streak over. We're gonna beat

2815
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 4: Jacksonville at jackson There you go. The streaks are over
