WEBVTT - Best of JMV 8/12/26 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.520 When they go low, we go high. 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.960 Love will win, grace will win, humility will win, and 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:06.440 kindness will win. 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:07.800 I stand by them. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.800 I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.960 to hell. That's Stephanie White from last night before the 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.040 game and then firing up the troops for the game 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.160 as they went last night over New York one O 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.160 six ninety two, twenty one to twelve of the season 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.360 the fever. If you were to tell me, hell, I 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.200 don't know three years ago, four years ago, that I 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.159 was going to lead off shows with the fever, I 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:36.080 thought you're crazy. Now it's a little bit different for 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.880 us because we talk about and care about what matters 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.520 to you. Honestly, for the rest of the world, it's 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.519 just about fanning the flames, getting clicks and likes and 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:55.120 the dorky algorithms and whatever the nerds are talking about. 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.840 That's what it's all about. For everybody else, seriously, across 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.240 the board, that's all it's about. They don't give two 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.400 craps about the basketball. They feel about the basketball right 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.319 now with the fever or the WNBA, how we felt 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.200 about the fever and the WNBA about four years ago. 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.640 Didn't care, didn't even notice. They didn't even cross our minds, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.080 but now it does because you have Kaitlin Clark, and 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.479 because everybody realized that with Kaitlin Clark comes a great 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.759 deal of notoriety. I said this when she first came 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.520 into the WNBA, and really prior to it, all you 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.760 had to do was hit hashtag Kaitlin Clark, and your 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:43.840 timeline on x or on Instagram would go crazy. It 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.200 would be rotten. Now, back then, it didn't go crazy 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.480 with crazy. Now it goes crazy with crazy or those 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.160 with agendas. Let me tell you a little bit about 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:02.880 yesterday with Stephanie White and then the team's performance. Stephanie 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.440 White was making up for the swing and the miss 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:14.079 on Saturday where it was obvious in this case that 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:20.080 Sophie Cunningham got tackled by the neck, got clotheslined. It 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.040 was a reckless close out by Carrington, and all that 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:31.320 transpired during that moment was accurate. But what Stephanie Watt 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.760 has been about is not Fenn in the flames and 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:41.000 in that process it was just a bad look. So 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:46.320 honestly with what she did before the game, which also 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.560 could be pointed at me because I led on Monday 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:55.240 with how she did on Saturday and has prior, you know, 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.160 with the fist to the neck of Thomas in that 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.080 game with Caitlin Clark. You have to make sure you 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:06.960 galvanize your group. You have to be tight. That was 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.400 making up for what did not happen on Saturday. Now 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.080 there are other aspects that maybe it's you, maybe it's me, 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:21.480 it's probably all of us, where she just felt the 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:28.520 need to let it out. You ever follow what anybody 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:34.800 ever writes about her on social media. I know you 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.760 guys out there too, because I'd probably feel the same way. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.320 We're all in the same gang on this. We would 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.600 be so incredibly soft. There's zero way, zero way we 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.200 could deal with it. It is every single day. So she 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:54.600 was also letting out a great deal of anger and frustration. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.720 And because I know me, I don't know you. I 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.000 know some of you out there. I feel I know 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.320 most of you out there. But for me, I'm not soft, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.000 And it didn't bother me in the least. In fact, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.440 I thought it was incredibly necessary and I thought it 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.600 was well past time. Yeah, get up and shake your fist, 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.839 tell everybody to go to hell. If that's how you feel, really, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.160 the only thing that should matter is the twenty one 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.200 to twelve aspect of it. See, this is what's funny, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.200 and especially around here, and there are a lot of 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.880 you out there, a lot of you out there. I 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.600 could charge with this. You end up telling me all 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.480 that matters is winning. But in this case, that's not 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.720 all that matters at all, and in fact, it's kind 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.360 of buried in all this other bull crap. You guys 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.159 get all wound up about stuff that doesn't matter, stuff 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.120 that shouldn't matter. Winning is all that matters. I've said 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.839 this all along. She's going to be judged by what 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:59.400 happens with this team. Do they reach expectations? Are they 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.479 who they're supposed to be? Were one of the most 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:10.520 noted professional athletes on the globe. That's how she's gonna 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.240 be judged. She's not gonna be judged by that press conference. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.920 I'm assuming somebody over there. And by the way, it's 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.760 not like that she or they have had incredible guidance 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:26.880 or leadership in this category. I know we always make 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.120 fun of pr but I don't know with the WNBA 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.000 or the fever, I don't know who's been in charge 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.560 of that. I don't know who runs it, but whoever 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:40.640 does probably needs to take a class on it. But 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:46.440 yesterday was not a shortcoming. Yesterday was not an issue 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.320 unless you're sold, unless you got offended by it. You know, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.920 those that are are saying or telling you that they're 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.839 the least offended of the groups out there are on 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:07.560 always the most offended. That's what had to happen. Let 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:13.200 off steam at those out there that constantly come at them, 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:19.560 come at her, and at the same time, help again, 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:25.760 keep wound tight the group and bear in mind what 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.320 matters the most. God, that's easy. That's like basketball one 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.720 on one out there. Any coach would tell you that, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.320 or any smart coach, I mean dumbasses out there wouldn't 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.360 tell you that, but any smart coach would tell you that. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.040 Gonna make sure you keep your group wound as tight 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:47.359 with you as possible. And not a lot of coaches, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.679 not a lot of people have ever had to deal 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.240 with the absolute fou bar that they have to deal with. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:07:01.480 And I loved Kaylin Clark and Sophie Cunningham agreeing and 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:06.440 then defending her after the game. That was great. What's 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.719 going to be funny is when a lot of you 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.680 zelots out there for Kaitlyn Clark. You know a lot 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.800 of you zelots that only care about Kaitlyn Clark when 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.680 you run her out of town because of all this, 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.240 That's what's going to be pretty funny. I'll laugh at that. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.240 I will laugh. I go, oh yeah, way to go. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.640 We're not talking about savvy basketball folks either. We're talking 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.480 about people that just jumped in on a bandwagon of love. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.320 You love the way that she plays. I love the 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.120 way that they play. I want to see success. And 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.520 in fact, I will tell you this, I mentioned this 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.240 to Jake a little bit earlier. There is to me 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:52.120 a very common thread between the Pacers that I love, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:58.200 not last year's nineteen win disaster of injuries, but the 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:05.520 prior two years the Tyrese Haliburton led Pacers. Because they push, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:10.160 they score, they put offensive pressure on you. That's exactly 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.920 what this Fever team does. So what's wrong with the coach? 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.800 You gotta want to fire Rick Carlisle? Who wants to 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.080 fire Rick Carley? You don't like it? That's exactly how 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.400 the Fever play. And you know what, they have some 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.520 of the similar issues as the Pacers had, especially in 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.680 that first year. You go back three years and they 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.640 would score in bunches, yet they couldn't guard Caleb. I 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.640 mean that was problematic, No or I think oftentimes did 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.520 they want to try to achieve the guarding of Caleb? 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.680 You get that strained out and who knows because they're 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.040 not anybody out there that can really stop them. I 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.000 mean at Links they have some players, including Olivia Miles, 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:59.880 that can match up really well, but not a lot 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.720 out there that can start that. I in fact, I 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.800 would not have paid attention. It was kicking and screaming 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:12.240 for me. But when you score as they score at will, 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.439 and you push the tempo, you push the pace up 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.439 and down the floor, you know how fun of basketball. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.200 That's my favorite brand of basketball. By god, I'll watch that. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.840 And if it ends up being twenty one and twelve, yeah, 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.240 you're not blaming the coach. You're not firing the coach 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.280 on twenty one and twelve. I don't care what all 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.199 these clowns end up saying. Maybe you ought to look 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.160 in the mirror and understand what you really want about it. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:42.160 Do you want winning a winning team or do you 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.200 want to jump on the bandwagon with the posse out 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.720 there with the lynch Bob that always wants to be 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.480 angry about something, always wants to be pissed off about something. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.160 That was a person letting off steam, and it was 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.719 a person that was showing her team, Hey, what was 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.040 this to me on Saturday? And listen, I'm in that 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.439 category too. There's a video of me that has hell. 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.960 I don't know how many it's on Facebook or Instagram, 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.760 but it's up there for Monday where I took offense 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.160 to that. I thought, you can't do that. I don't 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.320 even care if it was a lightweight call or if 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.360 it wasn't exactly an egregious foul, you go with it. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.760 I mentioned Galvani as your team, keep it tight. What 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.520 she did last night was necessary and honestly, if you're 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.080 offended by your you're way too soft. I'm offended by this. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.880 I can't believe. I can't believe. She said love and 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.120 then she said go to hell. Well, because some of 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.000 you out there are tremendous jackasses. I mean, hell, I 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.800 can be a jackass too. I will be before the 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.839 end of the show, I promise you. But I absolutely 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:04.040 loved it, and if it were directed at me, I'm 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.920 not suggesting at all that it was. But as an 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.720 outsider and somebody that was highly critical of what took 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.280 place after the game on Saturday in Chicago. Let's just say, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.960 for example, I am yeah, I'm not soft enough to 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.160 let that outweigh the fact that this team looks really good, 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.640 and it is playing well, and it plays a style 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:33.520 of basketball, women, men, whatever, that is incredibly enjoyable. Hey, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.640 numb nuts, get on board. Stop worried about the stuff 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:42.880 that doesn't matter. Stop letting people dictate what matters to you. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.640 You always tell me how much you want to see 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.640 teams win and how well you want to see teams 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.439 around here play, and then what they do. You want 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:54.160 to fire the coach for what because you don't like 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.880 what she said. Believe me, they all have to get 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.800 in line on this. I also know this to be true. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.560 I don't think that there is on any level the 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.320 leadership that is necessary. They had no idea what they 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:14.760 were getting into. But better late than never to realize 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.079 what you're getting into and do something about it. And 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.280 that starts at the commissioner's level. But that's not a 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.800 discussion for us. I'm just talking about a team right now. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.120 They believe me, if they don't live up to the expectations. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.440 There are gonna be consequences for that. That's just sports 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.280 in general. But it's not going to be about what 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.319 you were offended about last night in what she said 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:42.520 prior to with game, and then go out and you're 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.960 gonna boo aye, you booed last night. I'm telling you, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.760 I don't know the folks that go to this game, Caleb, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.320 they have any basketball brains at all. Seriously, I couldn't 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.040 believe that there were boos personally. Well, I can now 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.960 if Kaylyn Clark, if Kaitlyn Clark, and if Sophie cunninghad 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.800 would have backed her, if that would have been the 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:07.880 pregame and not the post game, there'd been no boos, none, none. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.280 Do you guys realize that use zelots out there. I'm 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.280 not talking to everybody, I realize that, But do you 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.240 zelots out there realize that who you bow to the 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.440 altar to just wants to play basketball and she wants 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.400 to do what she did last night and will be 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.800 critical when things don't go well, and we'll prop when 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:35.800 things do go well. But that's what she wants to do. Bunch, 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.400 you guys helping the process, don't be a fly on 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:45.559 the ointment, there'll be a pain in the ass booing. Seriously, 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.839 I didn't think that there were a lot of basketball 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.080 brains in that place anyway in general, but I sure 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.200 as hell didn't think after last night. This team is 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:58.040 twenty one and they're fun as hell to watch. And normally, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.720 let's face it, normally, when can you watch the WNBA 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.960 It can be boring, It can be a snoozefest. That 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.440 is not They are doing their best to not only win, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.800 but to entertain. And you're mad about him. Man, here's 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.360 what the coach said. How soft can you be? Please 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.160 don't tell me you're that soft. I didn't rear you 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:28.840 to be that soft. Come on, now, I thought that 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.400 was exactly what was necessary. Then listen. Maybe some of 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.520 this stuff missed the mark. I mean you had to 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.280 see the replay about a billion times. What you did 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.200 is you said the wrong thing. Somebody, if you didn't 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.160 see the replay, like somebody from your staff who has 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.640 your back, who knows something and doesn't have their head 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.840 up their rare end, should have said, hey, you know what, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.080 she was clothes lined? So it's okay to go off 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.800 on this. Hell, I'll be honest with you. I felt 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.000 good about it. You want to know why I felt 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.680 good because this was like a call that the WNBA 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.640 officials got accurately. It was it was right. I like 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.360 that because most of the time it's fo bar I 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:18.560 like that. Please do not tell me you are this soft. 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:23.520 Don't You can't have it both ways. You can't and 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.440 all I wants winning And then whine about the dialogue 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.160 of the coach, especially knowing what you know, I gather 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.760 that the rest of the world doesn't really know when 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:38.560 they're just swooping in to claim they're pound of flesh. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.720 That's all they're really doing. But you're supposed to be better. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.440 You gotta be better. You got to understand this a 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.240 little bit. And hey, I'll be right there with you. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.720 This team doesn't live up to expectations if they fail, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.280 if they don't learn to guard just a little bit better. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.520 And believe me, the bar is set a championship. If 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.840 they don't do that, let's just all go off. We'll 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.520 have a going off party. But I'm not going to 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.600 sit here and go off, and I'm not going to 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:14.560 jump on everybody else that has decided to be angry 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.800 about what was said last night. She said all the 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.400 wrong things. Yeah, you know what she was doing. She 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.400 was doing something with a purpose, and it was for 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.160 her team, and it was also to tell us a 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.800 lot of us out there that have been highly critical 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.240 to blank off. The funny thing about it is, we 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:42.560 would all do the same thing given her situation. You 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.880 would do it after two people made fun of you 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.360 on Facebook. You put your yearbook photo up there and 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.320 they make fun of you, you'd go off just like that, 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.320 after two people were marked about it. We'd all do 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.480 the same thing. Now, there's zero way that any of 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.320 us in a moment of anger and we're just all 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.400 letting it out. Hell, we're not going to say the 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.080 right thing. I'm never going to say the right thing 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.440 because frankly, I'm not smart enough to say the right thing. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:15.200 But I certainly understand. I have been dealt the cards 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.040 of wisdom in understanding, and I understand what the hell 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.399 was going on last night. The thing about this is, 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.040 you got like all these political clowns in our state 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.200 are remarking on this. You should be offended because they 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:33.640 need to pay attention to what matters to you as 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:39.040 to why you voted them in. I'm gonna tell you, yeah, 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.919 if you ever decide to take basketball advice from Micah 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.320 beck With, I can't hang with you. Serious, I can't 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.440 hang with you because you know there's zero way you're 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:57.320 gonna take basketball advice. What is he the associate governor 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:05.080 of lieutenant Lieutenant? Please, you don't need basketball advice from 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:09.840 Micah Beckwi or Jim Banks. These guys don't know squat 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.800 and in fact, they should be concentrating on the jobs 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.520 and the reasons why you voted them in. Just take 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.359 them out of the equation. You latch onto people that 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.600 know basketball. Maybe some of you folks that go to 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.280 these games will react a little bit different and understand 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:32.320 a little bit different. Now, you guys can all cry 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.639 about it if you want. It was pure theatrics. It 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.800 doesn't matter if it was theatrics, it was for her team, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:45.879 it was for what she didn't do on Saturday, doesn't matter. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.280 And you're not allowed to tell me that you're all 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.600 about winning and when a team wins you want to 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:57.320 fire the coach. That makes you a dumbass, and that 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.480 makes you about theatrics too. Can't tell me that I've 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.320 been around here long enough. I've been through all this losing, 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.960 we will gauge what happens to the coach and this 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:16.280 team at the end of the year. Who cares what 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:21.919 was said last night? Just don't be that soft. I 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.600 feel like Forrest Gump. I think that's all I have 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:31.439 to say about that. And he also authored the greatest 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.359 play in the history of the Colts. He's our friend, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.040 Marlon Jackson. Hello, Marlon, how. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.160 Are you, jam b I'm good, I'm good man. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.359 How you doing fantastic? So tomorrow night is going to 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:42.679 be a hell of a deal, is it not. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.680 Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be a good time. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:46.359 We all know that. 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.639 It's you know, preseason. Preseason football for the coaches is 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.720 gonna kick off with the Colts versus Patriots. But we're 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.160 also having an event kind of tied to that with 0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:01.160 our Coats Trivia Night at the Skyline Club in Indianapolis, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.000 an evening for people to come out and enjoy some 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.080 coachs trivia, learn a little bit about more organization, Fight 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:12.679 for Life being on some silent auction items. Hear about 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.320 something special that we're releasing at the Fight for Life Foundation. 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.480 As well, support a great cause, but have fun as well, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:25.040 and possibly win six coach tickets to the Coats VERSUS 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:26.520 Falcons preseason game. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:31.040 So Marlin Jackson with US Fight for Life Foundations got 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.240 at the Skyline Club a big deal with coach trivia 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.520 tomorrow night and you could win big More on that 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.160 in a second. Since one of the Mets right now, 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:43.240 training camp preseason game number one. As a veteran player, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.480 I know it's probably different for you in the early 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.439 stages as a rookie. As a veteran player, what was 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.760 your approach to camp and then to preseason games? 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.720 I mean camp, you want you want to get get 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:59.280 off to a fast start. You know, you put in 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.879 all the work in the off season. Now you're getting 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.480 back into things with all the guys, and you're getting 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.960 the pads on and getting ready to really lace them 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.240 up and get things going to try to go after 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.639 those goals that you will set in training camp, but 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.400 trying to get into your your rhythm, trying to get 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:21.439 into your your routines, get yourself established and ready to 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.960 go mentally and physically, and get your timing down with 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.800 everything as well, because it's no longer you know, no 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:35.040 pads on air. Now is full contact, it's live, which 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.280 I'm sure is probably much different now in training camp 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.840 versus when I was in training camp. A lot more 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:44.280 physicality throughout training camp. And I know it's kind of 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.120 spotty when it comes to the physicality in training camp now, 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.080 but I think these guys really want to get settled in, 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.400 get their timing with all the concepts that I've been taught, 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:59.000 the defenses on offense, the offensive schemes, get everybody on 0:21:59.080 --> 0:21:59.920 the same page. 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.639 So Maul and Jackson with us, what did you know 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.919 that you accomplished in trending camp what you needed to 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:10.000 At what point was there a signature, you know, each season, 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.320 so to speak, moment where you said, all right, so 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.120 I got everything I needed to do done here. 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.320 Well, I mean, I think that that varies for guys. 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.840 I think in terms of like all dependent upon your 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.119 level of experience. You know that that may be you 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.400 need you need one game, you need a couple of quarters. 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.280 You know, if you're a younger guy or guy just 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.639 you know, second or third year, maybe maybe it's the 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.480 you know, the second week, and it's getting that getting 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.000 that first half under under your belt. In my time, 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.800 you know, there were four there were four games. That 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.640 third game is when the starters went went the longest. 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.840 So you know, by by that point in time, for sure, 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.760 is when you feel like, all right, I'm I'm fully 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.199 ready to go for this season. But that's one of 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.720 those things, Jay, that I would say that varies dependent 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.040 upon on the level of experience that the player has. 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.200 I can remember if I asked you this last week, 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.840 this is Marla Jackson on the Andy Moore Automotive Group 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:11.200 hoot line. You played defensively with two guys that were 0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:15.160 absolute havocs coming off the edge, and Dwight Freeney and 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.200 Robert Mathis, and in this group at least Eyeball wise 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.040 right now is going to be a lot different. You're 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.399 you're hoping, you're crossing your fingers and hoping that you know, 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.359 with layout two Latu and arden Key, you're going to 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.520 get a little bit something. And and this I think defensively, 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:33.639 you're hoping for more from the secondary without what is 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:38.800 the normal defensive pressure up front. How difficult might that 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:44.080 proposition be when you have a lot of your playmakers 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.120 in that secondary more than up front. In this era 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:49.320 of the NFL. 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.159 Oh, it makes sense, extremely difficult because I mean, you 0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:59.120 know everything in football starts starts up front offensively and defensively, 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:03.480 and you know the high flying offenses that we see 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.399 now in the National Football League. You have to be 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.800 able to create pressure, and it's easiest if you can 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:13.320 create pressure with four guys up front. This is something 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.440 that the coach have struggle with, which is which brought 0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:19.280 about the change and coordinator, so you can blitz more. 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:24.320 When you have a secondary like the secondary that we have, 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.239 those guys can be on an island. It gives you 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:32.879 more of the ability to blitz and bring a fifth 0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.840 guy in a linebacker or at times of safety. But 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:42.080 in my opinion, I think you would rather have two 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:46.080 edge rushers at least one guy that you know they 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.240 can get home. They can create pressure at will. You 0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:54.399 have some more sustainable defense when you have the ability 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:59.359 to have a dominant defensive end or two that can 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.520 generate press. Sure, and you're not as reliant upon the 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.320 blenets to generate pressure. 0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.199 So Marlin Jackson with us, what are your thoughts on 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:09.840 what the Colts are going to be able to do? 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.840 I mentioned two of the options there with key and 0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.840 lay out two A lot two. Do you have a 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:19.399 belief and they're going to be able to provide what 0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:24.800 is necessary and consistent quarterback pressure coming off the edge. 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:27.480
