1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: So the stage is set, and we now know what 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: we had been wondering for a while. We now know 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: what we had been speculating. And you were going back 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: and forth of was it going to be this way 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: or this way, or what's going to happen? What's going 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: to be the result. And we now know as we 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: anticipated to begin the week on this Monday, we know 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: the answer. 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: We know the answer. Just shy have a foot is 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: the answer. Now. 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: We thought maybe it was going to be like four 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: to seven inches. We thought maybe it was going to 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: be fourteen inches, which I think it was down in Columbus. 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: You can, of course make your own joke when you're 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: talking about measuring those things, but I think safe to 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: say eleven and a half inches in the greater Indianapolis area. 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: And I know that it is very easy and it 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: is kind of low hanging fruit. 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: To pick on. 20 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: The Department of Transportation or the City of Indianapolis or 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But I will tell you last 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: night abound five thirty, I basically got stir crazy and 23 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to do a couple of things for my 24 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: parents anyway, So I went out and it took a 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: while to kind of dig the car out because it 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: was parked outside. But once I got going the two 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: may Now I understand if you're in the side streets 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis, like in your subdivision, they probably haven't gotten 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: to that yet. But the main roads, and kudos and 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: to the people of Indianapolis for cooperating for this. I 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: guess I didn't I violated it, I guess, but not violated, 32 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: but for cooperating and letting them plow the streets. But 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: I did have to go out and do two things 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: yesterday late and there was hardly anybody out but the roads. 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: By then, they had done a good job of clearing 36 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: the main roads. 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: Now relatively speaking, I mean they're not spotlessly clean, but 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,639 Speaker 1: when you have literally a foot of snow that fell 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: in a day and a half period, it's easy to 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: put poo and it's easy to sit here and say 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. The roads look terrible, but when you 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: consider the amount, I mean, it's unbelievable the amount of 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: snow we got. So we now know that we have 44 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: snow everywhere and it's going to be here for a while. 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: We also know that the Super Bowl is set and 46 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: it is the Seattle Seahawks in the New England Patriots, 47 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: just as probably I think a lot of people would 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: have said Denver if bo Nicks had not gotten hurt. 49 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: But and that was a disaster yesterday. 50 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: In terms of the fourth quarter of that game, it 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: kind of got to the point where it was it 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: was the blank show of it, I guess was entertaining, 53 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: but there was some element of it where it was like, 54 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: come on, I mean, this game is basically over because 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: nobody could do anything. But here is the game that 56 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: I love to play this time of year, Eddie Garrison, 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: I need you to put on your size eight and 58 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: three quarters thinking cap. 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Okay, do that. This is one of my favorite games 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: to play. 61 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: And you don't get to do it often. You don't 62 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: get to do this game often, maybe every two or 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: three years. It's possible to do this game. I need 64 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: for you, Eddie Garrison, to look out in our parking 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: lot here on North Meridian in Indianapolis, Okay. And they 66 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: have done a decent job of plowing the parking lot, 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: which means there are fairly large snow hills off to 68 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: the side. Now, sometimes you'll see when they plow and 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: everything goes right into the middle of the lot. And 70 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: you get literally a mountain of snow, but there is 71 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: a how deep or thick? Would you say? We're looking 72 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: at probably five feet across by what seven feet high? 73 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: Something like that Eddie has watered away to look out 74 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: the window at it. 75 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: Okay, what's your guest there? 76 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: I would assume, say, you know, Jake, with how close 77 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: we are, you could probably run down there. I could 78 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: do you play by playing. We can measure it in 79 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: Jake queries. That's what we can do. 80 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: You want me to do that walk out there? But I'm 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: wearing my big fireman looking boots. I can't run breakfast. 82 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: So here's the question of the day. 83 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: Hold on, we god a gentleman walking down there? Okay, 84 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: can we evaluate how he is? 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: How now he stopped to right? 86 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: Just perfect timing, So that guy is probably that guy's 87 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: about five to eleven. So it looks like that that 88 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: bank is about four and a half to five feet tall, right. 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's about yeah, it's about one Eddie garrison. 90 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: And then if he were to lay down and go 91 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: across it, it's about four feet wide. Right yeah. So 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: here's the question. What is today's date? Please? 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: January twenty sixth, twenty twenty six. 94 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: Okay, January twenty sixth. It is a Monday, January twenty sixth. 95 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: I would like for you, Eddie Garrison, right now to 96 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: predict for me the date when there is no remnant 97 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: of that snow left visible, not a single spot of it. 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: Let me look at the forecast for the next couple 99 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: of days. 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: It's get your We're looking at a while bud well 101 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: past Valentine's Day. 102 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, yep. You think that's going to 103 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: be there for two weeks? 104 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 2: Yes, where's it going. We're not gonna get rain. 105 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 3: No, but we're getting sun and it's melting right now. 106 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: No, that's not melting. 107 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: It's slowly. 108 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: It's like zero degrees out. 109 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: So the sun is what melts it. 110 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you mark my words. 111 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say February sixteenth. 112 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: I'll take the under on that. 113 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Okay, we shall see. Now, you keep in mind there 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: could be more precipitation to add to it. 115 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: We don't know. 116 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this as I was driving 117 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: in and I was thinking about the Super Bowl setup. 118 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: And by the way, PACER's in action today one thirty 119 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: that game against the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta has been moved. 120 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that on the way in and 121 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm like, man, I got to get 122 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: the good stuff in early because we're only on for 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: an hour today. PACER's pregame taking over at one o'clock 124 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: with Mark, Eddie, Pat and the rest. Now Eddie, I 125 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: did not know the answer to this. Perhaps you know 126 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: the reason obviously for the change in time is weather related. 127 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: But is that because of something that is supposed to 128 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: be coming into Atlanta or is that something to do 129 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: with where the Pacers are going next? 130 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: Pacers are returning home. This is the final game of 131 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: their five game road trip. 132 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So is there supposed to be weather coming into 133 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: Atlanta later tonight. 134 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure. I don't think so. 135 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: I know ice was a big, big concern down there 136 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 3: in the Southern States, So I don't know what the 137 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: conditions are. 138 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Or if they determined that that was better for commute 139 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: like to do it to get people moving in the day. 140 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 141 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: But either way, one thirty start in Atlanta for the Pacers, 142 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: and as a result, we will. 143 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: Hand it over to them at one o'clock. 144 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this on the drive end 145 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl being set, and notably I was 146 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: thinking about Seattle, New England as well, but for both 147 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: of them, the compare and the contrast to the team 148 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: that we cover in this market, the Indianapolis Colts, and 149 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: I thought about yesterday and today both driving in the snow. 150 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: And if you drive in the snow, you know there 151 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: are a couple of things that happen when you drive 152 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: through the snow. The first is one of the keys 153 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: is once you get going, when you start to feel 154 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: a slider, a misdirection, you got to keep going. It's 155 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: when you start pumping the brakes or when you slow 156 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: down it heading towards the snowbank that you get in trouble. 157 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: You've got to have a plan on how you're going 158 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: to drive, in a vision of where you're going, and 159 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: stay on that. You got to stay on that. But 160 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: you also cannot be afraid while you're driving through the snow. 161 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: If all of a sudden the car gets wayward and 162 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: you do, in fact find yourself in a snowbank, you've 163 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: got to be aware of and ready to immediately pivot 164 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: or come up with a different strategy. Whether you're like, okay, 165 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: this road is now impassable. I've going I'm going to 166 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: back up, I'm going to reverse for another block and 167 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: go down another way. 168 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to find another lane. Whatever it may be. 169 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: You have to be open to that possibility if, in fact, 170 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: things you hit an impasse. And I think there's an 171 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: element of that about building a football franchise in today's NFL. 172 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: Part of it is there is something to be said 173 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: about doing something and building it and just saying we 174 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: just we have a vision of where we want to 175 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: be and we just got to move forward, and we 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: just got to plug through it and keep moving. I 177 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: think to an extent, the Seattle Seahawks did that to 178 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: an extent because if you look at Seattle and what 179 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: makes Seattle unique, it is the combination of a nasty defense, 180 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: not legion a boom, but you know that kind of 181 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: a defense. And then in addition to that very smart 182 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: and opportunistic offensive place. Now that helps when you have 183 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: the best wide receiver and football on your team, and 184 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: right now he is the best wide receiver in football, 185 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: that helps. 186 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: But they also have a really sound. 187 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: And shifty, an opportunistic running game that they sprinkle in 188 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: and it balances things. 189 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: And then they have a quarterback. 190 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: That finally has found some footing here because he is 191 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: in the right situation, and so much of success in 192 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: the NFL is about finding the right situation. Is Sam 193 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: Darnold a better quarterback than Trevor Lawrence? Is Sam Darnold 194 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: a better quarterback than you know, insert name of young 195 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. Is he a better quarterback than give me 196 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: a young quarterback, Eddie That like looks like he's going 197 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: to be a player, But we're still trying to figure 198 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: out definitively because there's been some ups and downs, and 199 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: the ups have been very high, but the downs have 200 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: been a struggle. 201 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 3: It's a good question. I have to think on that one. 202 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say JJ McCarthy because we haven't seen a 203 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: lot of ups, right, Michael Pennix. 204 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: Michael Pennix, that's a good one. 205 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, I mean, Caleb Williams, I think now we 206 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: know is pretty darn good, right, Jordan Love. My point 207 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: being so much of success for a young quarterback, and 208 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's still only twenty eight, So much of that 209 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: success is based on what they have around them initially, 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, in life itself, you see a lot of 211 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: people that even if it's in the twilight years of 212 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: their life, the foundation of their upbringing starts to show itself. 213 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: You start to figure out and learn and put pieces 214 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: together about why people are the way they are because 215 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: of things they experienced or saw or felt when they 216 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: were very, very young. 217 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: And the same is true of NFL quarterbacks, and. 218 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: In this town, Peyton Manning is arguably the greatest quarterback 219 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: to ever play the game. Peyton Manning would have made 220 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: myself and Eddie and James Boyd and JMB as the 221 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: coaching staff looked like great coaches. 222 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: I get that. But he also had the fortune. 223 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: Of coming into a system where he had the same 224 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: O coordinator he had during his time here. What three 225 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: head coaches, one of which basically transitioned into the other. 226 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: They were one and the same of one another, and 227 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: he had stability. He came in and he had Marvin 228 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: Harrison right away. He had Marshall Fulk for a year, 229 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: and then that became Edrin James and they grew their 230 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: wings together. And he had Reggie Wayne basically from early 231 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: infancy throughout, and Dallas Clark throughout, and his O line 232 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: was consistent. 233 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 2: He had consistency. 234 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: And I look at the Colts right now, and I 235 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: think that we just assumed that we know the quarterback situation, 236 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: but Daniel Jones, and maybe we are going to see 237 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: it with Daniel Jones. 238 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: Maybe Daniel Jones. 239 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: In fact, when you look at it, you go, Okay, 240 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: this is Sam Darnold level potential because Daniel Jones and 241 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: New York didn't have consistency. Daniel Jones didn't have pieces. 242 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: But look at what Seattle did. Seattle was not afraid. 243 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: Seattle went out and they said, Okay, we need to 244 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: get weapons. We need to get defensive players. We need 245 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: to get Kenneth Walker drafted in the second round, Charmon 246 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: A drafted in the second round. They traded for Leonard Williams, 247 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: traded a second round pick, gave up a decent amount, 248 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: but hit on that right Byron Murphy first round pick. 249 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: They signed, the complimented with free agencies and pieces. But 250 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: they built a solid defense through being really smart in 251 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: the draft, hitting on first and second round picks, wisely 252 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: spending when they traded those picks, and in free agency 253 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: getting pieces that immediately meshed. And then what did they 254 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: do when they had those pieces and they had dynamic receivers. 255 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: Then they went out and they get Cooper Cup but 256 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: they draft well at the receiver position as well. They 257 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: have all of the pieces and the car is driving 258 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: through the snow and everything seems to be going okay, 259 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: but with Geno Smith at quarterback, that kept kind of 260 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: running into a snow drift that was just too big 261 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: to get around, and so they basically sit, we need 262 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: to we've been moving forward this whole time. 263 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: We had vision on what we wanted to be. 264 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: We're progressing, we're progressing, we're progressing, and then you hear 265 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: that thing when you're driving the snowbank, and the Seattle 266 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks had the presence of mind to say, we've got 267 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: to reboot this, pull out of this and find another 268 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: navigating route. And so they went out and got Sam 269 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: Darnold and the Colts to an extent, did that. They 270 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: realized with Anthony Richardson, they kept driving into the same snowbank. 271 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: So they went out and they got in. 272 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: They can tell us till the cows come home that 273 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: that was about creating competition for Anthony Richardson. That was 274 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: basically punting on Anthony Richardson and saying we've got to 275 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: get a starting quarterback. But the question, now, Eddie, is 276 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: this simply, and this is what I was thinking about, 277 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: just what it looks like the Colts in fact might 278 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: have some stability at the quarterbacking position. I'm talking about 279 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Okay, everything changed with 280 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: that injury, and we don't want to talk about it 281 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: right now, and we don't want to discuss it in 282 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: parties in Indianapolis. But the reality is the Colts might 283 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: be in a snowbank and those rear tires are spinning 284 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: and they can't figure out whether they need a shovel 285 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: or a bag of kittie litter to put something underneath 286 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: it to get them back running again. Because Daniel Jones 287 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: hasn't been resigned for next year, we anticipate that's going 288 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: to be the case. It seems inevitable. But at the 289 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: same time, we have no idea what kind of player 290 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: he's going to be. We don't know he's coming off 291 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: of a significant injury. Part of his what makes him 292 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: effective is his mobility that may be compromised. And then 293 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: what your backup is Anthony Richardson, And if you go 294 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: to that, that's a tough one. Because if you go 295 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: to Richardson, it's hard to go back from that then, right, 296 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: And yet you also feel like probably they're going to 297 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: try to flip that and then right than your backup 298 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: and you're kind of stuck in this same snow bank. 299 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: And I look at Seattle and New England for that matter, 300 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: in both of them and I just feel like both 301 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: of them, to an extent are In the case of Seattle, 302 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: it gives you a little bit of encouragement over what 303 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: the Colts are doing because maybe Daniel Jones as their 304 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: same darnold if he doesn't get hurt. But at the 305 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: same time, it seems as though Seattle, in particular in drafting, 306 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: has been more effective and better the Colts continue. Part 307 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: of why the Colts are in the situation they're in, 308 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: part of why the Colts have gone this long with 309 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: a playoff drought and this long with a divisional drought 310 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: and everything else, is because they keep trying to drive 311 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: the car in the same snow bank, expecting it to 312 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: suddenly gain traction. And I'm talking about building a defensive front. 313 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: They keep going back to and having to spin pieces 314 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: on the regular on their defensive front and their pass 315 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: rush and every time, right back into that snow bank. 316 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: Every time. 317 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: I mean Taikwon, Lewis and QUITTI pay and you know 318 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: they've they go out and they sign a guy for 319 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: free agency for a year or two and they get 320 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: a little bit, oh we got traction here, we're moving. 321 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: I say yeah, and you're stuck again as Leatu Lasu. 322 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: And I thought he was going to be a really 323 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: good player. He might be a guy. But they have 324 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: to keep spending their capital on the same snow bank 325 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: and they keep driving into it. And I just look 326 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: at Seattle, New England, the Rams for that matter, and 327 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: I think those are teams that basically looked at something 328 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: and said, here's what we're going to do. We're gonna 329 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: build a defense, we're gonna get weapons on offense, and 330 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: then we're gonna get a quarterback in there that just 331 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: knows their stability around him. And credit to Sam Darnald. Now, 332 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: I do feel like having said all that, Eddie, does 333 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: it not feel like Sam Darnald might be due for 334 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: like a two pick game. 335 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's coming against New England. 336 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 2: So who wins the Super Bowl? 337 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 3: I think it's Seattle. 338 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: They look awfully good. 339 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 3: And just the way that Drake May has looked, you know, 340 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: at Denver and then against Buffalo very skittish or not Buffalo? 341 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: Who'd they play? 342 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: New England played Houston. 343 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: Yes, skittish, Yeah, yeah. 344 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: And I think Drake Made is a good player. But 345 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: he's young still right, going to be a good player 346 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: in the league, probably for a long time because he 347 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: does have size. He is an accurate passer. But that 348 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: you know, I thought about this yesterday as well as 349 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there. These are the querry brain droppings that 350 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: happen when I'm sitting there having cabin fever. Okay, I'm 351 00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm watching Denver and New England, and 352 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is what it's all about. This is 353 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: football in America. You know, when you're a kid, you 354 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: think about the cozy snow days of like your snowed in, 355 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: there's a fire in the fireplace, your mom makes clam 356 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: chowder and grilled cheese soup. You got board games going, 357 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: You're down in the basement, all of those things. Right, 358 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: You're sledding out in the or you know, you're having 359 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: a snowball fight, building a snowman. You come in you 360 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: get some hot chocolate. I mean, admittedly I had a 361 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: very idyllic childhood. 362 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: I hope most people did. 363 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: But that's what you think about, and you think about 364 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: in the coziness of that a football game on television, 365 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: and a football game that's just snowy and messy and 366 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: cold and blistery and no visibility. 367 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 2: And Eddie, I wondered this question. We'll never know this answer. 368 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: And sometimes with rhetorical questions it becomes dangerous because what's 369 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: the point in asking a rhetorical question if if you 370 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: never know the answer. 371 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: But I'm going to ask it anyway. 372 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: The Colts started out seven and one correct yes, and 373 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: then ultimately eight and two correct yes, And they were 374 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: the number one seed halfway through correct yes. So let's 375 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: just say, for the sake of the hypothetical that Daniel 376 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: Jones had never gotten hurt. Let's say, for the sake 377 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: of the rhetorical that Pittsburgh never started blitzing Daniel Jones 378 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: galore and offering the blueprint. And let's say that the Colts, 379 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: after starting eight and two, managed to finish from there 380 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: six and one, and they finished the year fourteen and three. 381 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: But they beat Denver keep in mind. So let's just 382 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: say that the Colts were the number one seed and 383 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: the Charges. Yeah, but I'm saying in the tiebreak because 384 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: Denver was the number one seed, right, yes, yeah, So 385 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: let's just say hypothetically the Colts maintained that and were 386 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: the number one seed. Okay, that means that the AFC 387 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: Championship game would have been yesterday at three o'clock in 388 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: the afternoon in Indianapolis, Indiana. 389 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 390 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: Would they have postponed that game? 391 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 4: That's a great question. I'm not sure I thought about this. 392 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 4: I'm like, there's no way they might have played it. 393 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 4: But how do you there's someone. 394 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: Who drove downtown yesterday? Yeah there, I don't know. Yeah, 395 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 3: you would have had to. 396 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Eddie, we were under a city like emergency, 397 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: you know, basically essential travel only. 398 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I had to go out. 399 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: I went out because my parents are you know, I 400 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: had to go and do something for my dad and 401 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: you know what, But I mean, I'm not saying that 402 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: makes that essential. I'm not a medical but I'm saying 403 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: maybe I even defied right there. 404 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: But the point being, there's no way we how would 405 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: you've got. 406 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: Think about the traffic downtown Indianapolis on a regular Sunday 407 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: in October when it's gorgeous outside. Would they have had 408 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: that game yesterday or would they have done it with 409 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: no fans or delayed it? Could they have delayed it 410 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: until two, I mean Tuesday night or something. I don't 411 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: know the president there, but I honestly thought about it. 412 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: Right, it is certainly something you have to think about. 413 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: My mom chimes in, I'll bet the roof would have 414 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: been closed. Yes, that's probably true. That's a bold statement. 415 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: That would have been the one time they opened it. Right. 416 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: Right, if they're playing Jacksonville, we consider it a huge 417 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: advantage to open the roof. Jake need your opinion. The 418 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: Colts played three out of the four Super Bowl contenders. 419 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: They could easily have gone three and zero against them. 420 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: Are the Colts close to breaking through or they are 421 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: all not close? I think, in all honesty, I think 422 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: they're not close. And I'll tell you why. The Colts. 423 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 1: You can look at it and say, they hung with 424 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: Seattle with an experimental quarterback. They hung with Seattle, and 425 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: it took a miracle kick to beat them in Seattle, 426 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: and Seattle is in the Super Bowl. They hung with 427 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: the Rams. If it wasn't for eighty mitchell and two 428 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: boneheaded plays. They beat the Rams, who were an NFC finalist, 429 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: and within a minute and a half of going to 430 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they. 431 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: Beat the Broncos. It took a leaping call. 432 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: Leverage, I know, but I always go with leaping because 433 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: that's what Simeon and Rice did. It took that, but 434 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: they beat the Broncos. So look how close they are. 435 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: But but I don't think there's close as I don't. 436 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why they're not as close as 437 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: you think. And I'll do it on the other side 438 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: and we'll hand it over to Mark Boyle PACER's crew 439 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: in just thirty five minutes, short day of quiring company, 440 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: probably the way all of you like it. On this 441 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: snowbound Monday, here ninety three, five, one and seventy five 442 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: to the fan, A couple of news and notes real quick. 443 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: First off, my buddy Roy and Laramie Wyoming go Pokes, 444 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: said Jake. I've seen plenty of times here in Wyoming 445 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: where the sun, even in zero degree temperature, does melt snowbanks. 446 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: I get it, Ah, but look at the forecast. Suck 447 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: it after today. You're not gonna see much sun as 448 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: the problem? 449 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 3: What are you are a meteorologists? 450 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: Now look at the forecast. That's the thing. 451 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: Like it's in basically cloud cover overcast. We're going to 452 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: live in Poland until like next Wednesday when it snows again. 453 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 3: Negative one or below for like four to the next 454 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: five days. 455 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 456 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean, now, are the Colts close when you look 457 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: at the fact that against three of the four finalists 458 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: they were right there? I don't think so. I'll tell 459 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: you why in just the second. But first off, Eddie, 460 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: do you happen to have the breaking new sounder? One 461 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: player that we're familiar with is on his way back, 462 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: and another player we're familiar with is on his way out. 463 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison, would you like to elaborate on both? 464 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 3: We knew last week that D'Angelo Ponds was going to 465 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: the NFL Draft, Mikael Kamara announcing over the weekend that 466 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: he will be entering the NFL Draft, as did EJ. Williams. 467 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: The latest this is within the last hour. Omar Cooper 468 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: Junior will be headed to the NFL and he will 469 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 3: forego his remaining college eligibility. 470 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: Probably a third round pick, I would guess somewhere in 471 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: there third or fourth round. Yeah, okay. Now, in terms 472 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: of players that we are familiar with that we will 473 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: be seeing later today that we have not seen in 474 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: some time, would you like to elaborate. 475 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: On the Pacers side of things. Quentin Jackson is back 476 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 3: on the floor. He has been dealing with an ankle injury. 477 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: And Benedict Matherin is also back. He has been dealing 478 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 3: with that great toe sprain and I think that's a 479 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 3: fancy wave saying that it's turf toe and that right 480 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: thumb sprain as well. So Benedict Matherin back today for 481 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers in Atlanta, top of the hour, preaking coverage. 482 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: And I would assume the Pacers would like to see 483 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: him break out, not just for the aspect of trying 484 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: to win the game, but I still think they probably 485 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: would like to showcase who and what he can be. 486 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: The Colts are not as close as they look, and 487 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: the reason being is this. 488 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: Look at San Francisco. 489 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: San Francisco, over the course of the year had injuries. 490 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: All over the place, all over the place. 491 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: Watching the San Francisco forty nine ers season and injury 492 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: report was like watching a PBA bowling competition in the 493 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: pins fall. Every time you turn around, a different Niner 494 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: went down. And yet that you've. 495 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 2: Had analogy sounded. 496 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Yes, But yet the Niners managed to stick around and 497 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: found themselves. Yes, I realized that they got beat in 498 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but still they were there and they even 499 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: had players go down then New England, New England over 500 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: the course of the year. And I will admit this 501 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: probably is as least familiar a Super Bowl opponent for 502 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl upon as I've been in a while. 503 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,959 Speaker 1: I've just not seen a lot of the Patriots and 504 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: they kind of remind me of And people can sit 505 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: here and say, what in the world are you talking about, 506 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: But it feels to me like the Patriots are kind 507 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: of like the the Miami Dolphins back when they had 508 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: the no Name defense. 509 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: I think it was the Dolphins that had the no 510 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 2: Name defense, but it was it the Broncos. 511 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: But either way, you know, it's not a group of 512 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: like these huge stars, and they kind of were just 513 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: playing in the shadows of the disaster that was Miami 514 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: in that division and the uncertainty of when exactly you 515 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: know what you were going to get week in a 516 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: week out from Buffalo in that division, and then we're 517 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: always talking about just the dumpster fire of the Jets 518 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: in that division. I mean, there's a lot going on. 519 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on with them, but it just 520 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: feels to me like the fact that the other teams 521 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: part of being The reason why I say I don't 522 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: think the Cults are as close as what that appears, 523 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: is because all of those games that I just mentioned 524 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: were at the beginning of the season, and part of 525 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: being a contending team is being able to overcome adversity 526 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: as it comes to you over the course of the year. 527 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: And I realized the quarterback position is a significant one, 528 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: and they lost two of them. I get it, but 529 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: they were reeling before that, partially because the areas where 530 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: they have tried to invest and heavily put things together, 531 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: they just have not been able to find stability. And 532 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking talking notably about pass rush and just defense 533 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: in general, defense in general. My understanding is Don Fisher 534 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: literally he just started to feel his fingers and his 535 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: toes twenty minutes ago from Saturday because it was cold. 536 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: But Don, I've got a feeling. Don Fisher the voice 537 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: of the Hoosers joining us on the Java House. Peel 538 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: and poor guest line, it's funny. I look at I 539 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: saw a lot of this on social media down which 540 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: I know you very wisely don't partake in. But there 541 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: were people outside in the end of that, We're like, 542 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: this is pathetic. Look at this turnout for the Indiana 543 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: National Championship celebration, And I thought to myself, considering that 544 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: we were basically under a state weather emergency, it was 545 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: sub zero temperatures. I got a handed to the students 546 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: and the people that did turn out for that, and 547 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't care whether it was thirty degrees below zero. 548 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: My guess is you were going to be there regardless. 549 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 5: Well I would have been there, there's no question about that. 550 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 5: I got to call that they wanted me to MC 551 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 5: the program about twenty four hours in advance, and I said, 552 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 5: really a goodness, Yeah it was. It was really special 553 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 5: to be a part of that. And I had a 554 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 5: ball up there in the stage with those players and 555 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 5: Coach Signetti and all the people that were there. And 556 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 5: I know it wasn't the fifty thousand or whatever you 557 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 5: could fit in the stadium, but there were probably twenty 558 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: thousand people there. And you consider this terrible weather. Can 559 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 5: nations that we were in and how cold it was, 560 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 5: and there were still people out there that didn't have 561 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 5: something on their head. There were guys who took their 562 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 5: shirts off, which was just crazy. It was it was 563 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 5: just a special, special, thirty five to forty minute program 564 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 5: and it was just fun to be a part of it. 565 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: Don I want to talk obviously basketball in just a second, 566 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: because Indiana getting said for a big one rivalry games 567 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: tomorrow night with Purdue. But before we do that, you know, 568 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: I saw a story earlier today and we all know this. 569 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying anything new here, but I 570 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: think you really when you step back and you look 571 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: at the JMU players that came with Kurt Signetti and 572 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: their ability to kind of let everybody in the locker 573 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: room we've. 574 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: Talked about this know like, hey follow his lead. 575 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: You know this, this can have a good result here 576 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: if we buy in and you look at the players 577 00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: that all maximize their potential under Kurt Signetti, and oftentimes 578 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: many of them may be following the lead of the 579 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: JMU players, but even Omar Cooper who was already there, 580 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: or E. J. Williams at transfer from Clemson, you know, 581 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: all these guys bought in and so now when the 582 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: true reward of that and the merit of Indiana is 583 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: their ability to springboard beyond and go into the NFL 584 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: and those things. What is it about the culture that 585 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: leads you to be confident, don that the next group 586 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: of guys that Kurt Signetti brings in either via portal 587 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: or high school will have the same level of buy in. 588 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 5: Well, I here's what I would tell you, Jake. They'll 589 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 5: have the buy in because Kurt Signetti vets all of 590 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 5: these people, all these portal players, every single one of them, 591 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: and he does it in such a thorough fashion. Knows 592 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 5: exactly what is there, what their capabilities are number one, 593 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 5: Number two, the experience level that they have at number three, 594 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 5: the absolute coachability and character that they. 595 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 3: Us come in with. 596 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 5: If they don't have those, if they don't have those 597 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 5: areas of abilities, if they don't have those abilities, obviously 598 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 5: he's not going to take them. And that's why Kurt 599 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 5: Signetti is successful with his process. The way he goes 600 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 5: about he doesn't change it, and he looks for certain 601 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 5: things in every player that he gets to come to 602 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 5: the program. If they don't fit that criteria or the 603 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 5: next criteria or the next one. Whatever he's looking for, 604 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 5: they just don't get recruited. And basically he's you know, 605 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 5: something can be the deal breaker at some point during 606 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 5: that discussion of whether the kid wants to come or not, 607 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 5: whether it's money or any of those other aspects of it, 608 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 5: he will he will get the guys that he knows 609 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 5: fits exactly what he wants to do, and then he 610 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 5: will develop them beyond the point that they are right now. 611 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 5: And that has been shown in these two years that 612 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 5: we watched Indiana football. 613 00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's remarkable because literally don r every 614 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: player on that roster seemingly, and I know this sounds hyperbole, 615 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: every player on that roster is a better football player 616 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: today than the day that they arrived. 617 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: Literally every one. 618 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 5: Of them there is, There is no question about that. 619 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 5: They are because of the culture that he's installed. And 620 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 5: you're right about the JMU guys coming here and helping 621 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 5: to install that culture and helping to get guys understanding 622 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 5: what this guy is all about. And I'm talking about 623 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 5: Signetti and without question, the coaching staff that he I mean, 624 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 5: that's all these guys. Everybody that's in the program is 625 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,959 Speaker 5: a guy that he has personally said, I want that guy. 626 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 5: It's that simple, and he knows what he's looking for 627 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 5: and he hasn't varied from it. From Indiana University, Pennsylvania 628 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 5: to Elan, to JMU or to Indiana and every place 629 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 5: he's been, he's elevated that program, and of course he's 630 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 5: elevated Indiana into a national champion. 631 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: Don Fisher is my guest voice of the Hoosiers, Java House, 632 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: Peel and Poor guest line. 633 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 2: Tomorrow night. 634 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: It is Indiana and Purdue and the Hoosiers coming on 635 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: if they're winn against Rutgers. Don one thing about Purdue 636 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: as I've watched them of late, and I think Purdue's outstanding. 637 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: I know that you have a lot of respect for 638 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: Matt Painter as well, But defensively and teams go through ebbinflows. 639 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: Right now, Purdue defensively seems to be struggling in getting 640 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: out and Matt Painter's talked about this, getting out and 641 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: getting into the space of three point shooters. That is 642 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: an area that I would think is advantage Indiana. Wilkerson's 643 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: been very good. Is a street shooter, but he's been 644 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: very very good. But as Indiana are there other areas 645 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: from the outside on the perimeter that Indiana needs to 646 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: kind of jumpstart here. 647 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: That seems to have lagged a little bit in their 648 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 2: three point shooting. 649 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 5: Well, you know, the three point shooters in the Rutgers 650 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 5: ball game, we're all doing exactly what their what their 651 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 5: job is. They were knocking down threes, and they were 652 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 5: scoring the basketball almost will against Rutgers. I mean, Rutgers 653 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 5: is not a great team by any stretch of the imagination. 654 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 5: But Indiana needed a game like that to get back 655 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 5: in the confidence mode that they had earlier this season. 656 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 3: And I think probably that was the. 657 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 5: Big kick that they got out of this matchup with Rutgers, 658 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 5: because this team seemed down a little bit. They didn't 659 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 5: seem to have the same energy level. They weren't playing 660 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 5: as tough a defense in that four game, losing skin 661 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 5: as we've seen them through the year up to this point. 662 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 5: And I think they had lost a little confidence. I 663 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 5: don't know that they would admit that or they would 664 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 5: say that maybe there were some other issues. And of course, 665 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 5: Connorway got the ankle injury in the ballgame preceding, you know, 666 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 5: like two games ago, and obviously wasn't at full strength 667 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 5: even in the Rutgers ball game, but he's a valuable 668 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 5: piece to this puzzle for that. Darren Debrees is put 669 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 5: together as far as this roster's concerned, and they need 670 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 5: all these guys hitting on the same cylinders at this point, 671 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 5: especially when they're into the scheduled portion that they're in 672 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 5: right now, and produced just another aspect of that. And 673 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 5: I'm not so sure that the defense events that produce 674 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 5: playing right now won't be dramatically better against us because 675 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 5: of the rivalry factor and the fact that Matt Painter 676 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,879 Speaker 5: isn't going to stand for his guys not playing at 677 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 5: their best, especially at that end of befloor, because let's 678 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 5: face it, they are a really good basketball team and 679 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 5: losing two in a row is obviously stuck in their 680 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 5: crawl right now, and you know they're going to come 681 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 5: in wanting to try to dictate exactly how this game 682 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 5: is going to be played and everything else. So I 683 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 5: don't know, I don't care how. 684 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 3: Good a shooters you are. 685 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 2: You've got to be able to get through. 686 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 5: The defensive aspects of this game that Indiana is going 687 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 5: to have to get through, and I think Matt will 688 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 5: have these guys playing that hard at the defensive end 689 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 5: of the floor, especially on the three point shooters, and 690 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 5: this is going to be a real challenge for Indiana. 691 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: Don Lastly, Tucker Dereez kind of broke out of a 692 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: little mini slump there against Rutgers. Did they do anything 693 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: differently to get him involved or was it just a 694 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: matter of kind of getting an open look and then 695 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: just getting a feelback. 696 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 5: I think more more than anything, he became more aggressive 697 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 5: with the shot. If you remember the first I think, well, 698 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 5: if you didn't see the game, the first two shots 699 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 5: he took from three point land went down and that 700 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,919 Speaker 5: I think that instilled again to him some confidence level 701 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 5: that he had not been playing with up to that point. 702 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 5: And then other people were contributing in the same way. 703 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 5: And that kind of stuff is contagious, as you know, 704 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 5: and when you're playing basketball, momentum is such a big 705 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,760 Speaker 5: thing and it can change in a heartbeat. And Indiana 706 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 5: got all the momentum in this game and never let 707 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 5: that slip away, and that was huge in this matchup. 708 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,879 Speaker 1: Indiana and Purdue will be tomorrow night, nine o'clock. Tip 709 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 1: from Assimilly Hall.

So Eddie, you believe that 720 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: the snow mountain that the parking lot has created. You 721 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: didn't give me a date when you think it will 722 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: be completely gone. I'm talking zero remnant, you said, but 723 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: completely cleanteenth February sixteenth, I said the under I mean, 724 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm counting on after today, there being a lot of 725 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: overcast days, I'm telling you. And that's the and then 726 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: you get that like the problem too, like it is 727 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: pretty right, but then you get the then once you 728 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: get like the black. 729 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 2: The slush, yeah, I mean the the like. 730 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't even know what causes it, like when the 731 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: snow turns to a black color because of like exhaust 732 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: and mud and dirt and asphalt that all. 733 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 2: Gets grained in and it's just and it's crunchy. 734 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 3: I do have a question for you because I need 735 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 3: some advice here. Okay, yesterday I went out to shovel 736 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 3: off the dry so I could make my way, and 737 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 3: thank you to Radio one for this. They put me, 738 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 3: Mark Dyketon and several others in a hotel last night 739 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 3: because we are essential personnel. So I was cleaning off 740 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 3: the driveway to so I could drive out, obviously to 741 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 3: leave the house from the garage. And one of our 742 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 3: neighbors that lives in the cul de Sac were on 743 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 3: the corner and there's like two houses between ours. He 744 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 3: has like a bobcat and he was out there pushing 745 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 3: snow off of the road so people could drive and 746 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 3: I'm shoveling my driveway. He goes, hey, you want me 747 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 3: to clean this off for you. I'm like, well, don't 748 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 3: twist my arm. Sure. Now, as a good person that 749 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 3: I am, should I give him something in return? Yes? Okay, 750 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 3: Now this is where it gets a little hairy. Okay, 751 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 3: Like two months ago, they have two dogs and their 752 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 3: dogs out loose, and we held on to their dogs 753 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 3: because they didn't answer the house like, so do we 754 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 3: still should I still give them something and something in 755 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 3: return for doing that, even though we. 756 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,839 Speaker 1: So you're saying in terms of the neighborly errand you're 757 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: now even, you're the neighborly favor. 758 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 3: I mean you're now even. Yeah, in my mind we're even. 759 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 3: But at the same time, should I still be like, hey, thanks, 760 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 3: here was a case of beer or something like that. 761 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would still do it. I thought so as well, 762 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: because you could make the argument the first time you 763 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: were helping the dogs. 764 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 2: True true hearing the dogs as well. 765 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 3: Right, I do have three kids, and I'm sure that 766 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 3: they would have been upset if their their dog goes 767 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 3: were missing. 768 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: For those of you that our listening or are curious, 769 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: the roads are. 770 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 2: The main roads. Now. 771 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: I can't speak to some of the auxiliaries. But I 772 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: drove down Meridian. I came from the Meridian Kestler area, 773 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: and our building is at twelve hundred North Meridian, and 774 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: it took me probably fifteen to twenty minutes. I mean 775 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: I went twenty miles an hour, but at no point 776 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: that I feel that that I was going to slide off, 777 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: for get stuck. 778 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 2: Anywhere. 779 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: And a big part of why the roads right now 780 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: are starting to clear is because, thankfully, because people have 781 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: stayed home, it's allowed the plows to get out and 782 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: do it, and they are out there. 783 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 2: And yes, I mean, you know. 784 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: I always get a kick out of the people who 785 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: are like, this is ridiculous my subdivision. Well, listen, I mean, 786 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: it takes a while to get to everybody. It's a 787 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: pretty big metropolitan area, but it is amazing because we 788 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: literally had I think I saw the final count at 789 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: eleven point five inches, and I think that's very fair. 790 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 1: And then with drifting, I mean, there are some poor 791 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: people I saw that are parked along Meridian Street and 792 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I mean, it's going to take 793 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: them forever to dig their car out, especially once all 794 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,959 Speaker 1: that snow freezes, because then you've got to basically chop 795 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: it away. 796 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's significant, for sure. 797 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: And if you have the luxury of being able, I 798 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: mean I don't I'm not here to like lecture anybody, 799 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: but if you have the ability to stay home, work 800 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: from home, whatever for the next couple of days, you know, 801 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: I would probably do that. 802 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 2: I mean, it was you know, if you need to 803 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 2: get out. 804 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to get out, but if you 805 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: can stay in, I would probably do so just to 806 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: allow them to continue to clear things off again. Benedict 807 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: Matherin back in the mix for Indiana Today. It is 808 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 1: a game with the Hawks coming up one thirty tip. 809 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: We will throw it out in just a couple of 810 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: minutes here for the pregame for the Pacers Radio Network. 811 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 1: Matherin back in the fold, and that be Quentin Jackson 812 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 1: as well. They continue to kind of cycle players through 813 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: a guy that since we were last on, I think 814 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: I can't remember which night it was, they all started 815 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: to run together and I was actually off, so it 816 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 1: might have been Thursday night, but you know, Jaris Walker 817 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: started to show a little bit. We'll see if that continues. 818 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: We'll see how things go. We'll talk about all of 819 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: it tomorrow and we'll get back into the full swing 820 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: of the show.
