Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome back. Mark Dyton, Good morning, and

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: welcome back. What's your name? James Boyd over there with

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: the Illinois sweaty on, You're good to go.

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: Rysean king of all Media, and of course I think

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Argiri Carlisle our king of all media too.

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen, you can find him everywhere one O seven

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: fivefan dot com. You can find him here every morning.

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: He's got podcasts, he's all over the place. Good morning, everybody.

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed the extra day off yesterday. And I

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: wanted everybody to have a day off yesterday because we

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: worked so hard over all of the Indiana football season

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: and all of the other holidays, and I just wanted

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody was rested and ready to go,

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: because we've got the NFL Combine coming up, We've got

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: the stretch run of college basketball coming up. We've got

18
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: whatever is left of the NBA season, however you want

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: to approach it and however it's safe to approach it,

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: coming up. And then of course we've got all of

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: college basketball here in Indianapolis with the final four down

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: the stretch, and then we get into too full on

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: golf season with a bunch of majors coming up, so

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: it's that time. It's also you can't unless you're watching

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: on YouTube this morning. It is one of my favorite

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: days of the sports multi calendar because you only get

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: it once every four years. But it is win or

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: go home time for hockey at the Olympics, and the

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: United States will be playing Sweden later on today and

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: again Kevin Bowen, win or go home. I am rocking

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: the two thousand and two era USA sweater today, so

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go.

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: I love the look of that sweater there. I thought

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 3: the am I wrong. I thought we were playing tomorrow,

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: US men tomorrow.

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: It could be to I thought it was today. I

37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: was all fired up. But you saw the women yesterday.

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, women getting the win dominance. Yeah, I believe. I

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: saw they set an Olympic record for longest shutout streak,

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: like three hundred and thirty some minutes. So yeah, they

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: were very impressive. So they'll be in the gold medal

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: coming up. I believe that's Thursday, and I thought the

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: US men tomorrow.

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: It's possible because I'll be honest with you, I did

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: one thing I've not done in a long time. I essentially,

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: except for watching a few things on TV, I did

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: watch a little bit of hockey, watch some Olympics with

48
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: my wife, James Boyd. I took I literally from a

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: sports perspective, took the weekend off, just hung out with

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: my kids, We did things. I was like a regular

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: human being. I am so ready to go for sports

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: again today. I can't tell you, well.

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: You have to wait till tomorrow for the men's.

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Quarter I think it's like a ten thirty in the

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: morning game or something like that.

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: It looks here that it's at three tens time.

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I haven't even looked at it. I'm just I just

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: know it's the week and let's go. Well fired up.

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: I will say this, I am fired up for tonight

60
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: inside of Mackie Arena. I mean, I think it's really

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: one of the games of the year in college basketball.

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: Rob Blackman voiced the Boilers, so join us coming up

63
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: at nine, And this is what I love about in

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: particularly college basketball, and you know, in our market it's

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys feel this way, but

66
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: it's kind of been a lull for the last few weeks.

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: You know, obviously we had the incredible run in Bloomington,

68
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: but you know, Pacers are involved in some weird off

69
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: the floor scandal is way too harsh for word, but

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: you know what I'm getting out here from a tanking element,

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 3: the Colts have had arguably the quietest offseason of any

72
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: NFL team, and I don't know, I feel like I've

73
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: kind of been itching for something here and we get

74
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: it tonight. We'll be absolutely rocking in there at six

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: point thirty. And Purdue shout out to them for last week,

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, on the break if you will.

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: And they go to Nebraska and get that done, and

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: then very impressive against Iowa, I thought on Saturday, and

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: really I think one of the marquee games nationally in

80
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: college basketball. For those that haven't been following the Michigan story,

81
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: I guess this is one of the most dominant college

82
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: basketball seasons we've seen in quite some time. I don't

83
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: know if it's weird because they're just now ranked number one,

84
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: but if you look at it, they're twenty four and one,

85
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: and how they've beat these teams. We don't see this,

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: particularly from a major conference team. So I can't wait

87
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: for tonight, looking forward to it, and I think you're

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: probably lined up right now outside of Harry's.

89
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking forward to as well. Michigan ranked number one,

90
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: I think for the first time since twenty thirteen. The

91
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: one thing that they have ridden two things I think

92
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: that they've ridden all year long. They are big upfront,

93
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: and they play some hilacious defense James, and that's the

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: riddle that we'll have to be sold by Braden Smith.

95
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: And also I think it's gonna they're gonna have to

96
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: have a physical, big game from Trey Kaufman Renn. He's

97
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to play well. Kluff is going to have

98
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: to play well down low there. I was looking it

99
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: up this morning. The three bigs for Michigan are averaging

100
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: almost twenty two rebounds a game between them.

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: How much do you all care about the comments from

102
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: yakxel Linnenborg if I'm saying his last name correct correctly

103
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: or honestly it's full name correctly, because I did see

104
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: Dusty May kind of put out not a statement, but

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: he did talk about to fill everyone in. I guess

106
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: this was from months ago. The Axles at a bar

107
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: somewhere and looks to be a little intoxicated, and he

108
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: was talking a lot of trash about Purdue, and now

109
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: that matchup is tonight. So how much do you think

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: that adds to the juice? Because Dusty Maye was like, look,

111
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't think that that adds anything to it, because

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: Brad Smith, Fletcher Lawyer, and Trey Kaufman Wren they're all

113
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: killers without that. But I gotta imagine, I mean, people talk,

114
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: and that might be something that comes up when you're

115
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: talking about preparing for Michigan.

116
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: You can't get up for number one team in your

117
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: own building, then look, I got some issues for you,

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: fair enough. So yeah, I know, breaking news college kids

119
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: says something drunk at a bar. I just you know,

120
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: I get that. You know, he obviously is a little

121
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: bit more prominent, you know, James, you mentioned I think

122
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: Dusty may said he made these comments back in May

123
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: when Purdue was ranked number one preseason, and they just resurfaced,

124
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: I guess over the weekend. So I don't know, a

125
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: home underdog in your own building against number one team

126
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: in the nation, and what a week for Purdue in

127
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: general with Indiana course on Friday, you know, both of

128
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: those games inside of Mackie deal actually get Michigan State

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: in their building here, So I am really really looking

130
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: forward to it early six thirty earlier tonights and uh

131
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: Mark go ahead and played the sounder for where you

132
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: can find the game, because we all know it's on

133
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: the cock. I will say this, you sleep back there.

134
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: I'm letting that one breathe.

135
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: I was looking at the splits for Yaxel Lumenberg and

136
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: looking at his away splits. He's averaging sixteen and ten

137
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: on the road and two blocks. So yeah, I don't

138
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: know if the bar talk really matters when it comes

139
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: to how good that team is. And Dusty Maye, boy,

140
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: remember a couple of years ago we were talking about, hey,

141
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: could he be like a coach that you know, potentially

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: takes over for someone like Mike Woodson or you know,

143
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: what can they do to bring him home? And you know,

144
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: he's only new home in Michigan and built that program

145
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: right back up to.

146
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: Where they used to be.

147
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: Twenty of their twenty four wins by double digits. And

148
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: this is in a big ten we haven't seen in years,

149
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: I mean the Big ten in length. Yeah, top five,

150
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: top six teams. I want to say it's thirteen of

151
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: their twenty four wins by at least twenty. They're blowing

152
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: the doors off a team, So ten straight wins. The

153
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: only team that's beating Wisconsin hit fifteen threes to beat them.

154
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: I'm curious what that number's got to be for Purdue

155
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: tonight and exactly how you know Purdue. It's weird to say,

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: but Purdue's the smaller team in this matchup. We have

157
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: not said that about Purdue very often at all here,

158
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: but Purdue plays more than three guards, and Michigan at

159
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: least starts the three bigs. So I cannot wait for tonight.

160
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Braiden Smith do his thing

161
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: against Elliott Cadeau. I know Cadeau has had a nice season,

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: he's played well for Michigan, the former North Carolina player,

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: But I think Braiden Smith's going to eat him up.

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: And I think you guys hit it on the head,

165
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: got to do well from three point range, and you

166
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: gotta hold your own down low. Do those two things

167
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: at Mackett I think they'd be okay.

168
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: A little bit of a predue connection we can get

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: to in a bit. The NFL franchise tag window opens

170
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: up today, so we'll hit on that. You saw a

171
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: lot of activity down in Miami from their new GM yesterday,

172
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: and that's kind of what this time of year is.

173
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: You know, we're a week out from the Combine, week

174
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: from tomorrow or week from today, right, we'll be doing

175
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: a show at the Combine, is that right?

176
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: Deserve?

177
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: And so this time of year is a little bit

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: like the Hey, the new GM's in town. We're gonna

179
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: make some veteran cuts, or you get to a point

180
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: in time with your roster that you have to make

181
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: some moves, and I'm curious if the Colts fall into

182
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: that boat. Here. So again, franchise tag window opens up today.

183
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Combine starts in a week. Free agency starts three weeks

184
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: officially three weeks from tomorrow. So we're about to get

185
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: into a little bit more of the NFL news cycle,

186
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: certainly for our market, because we haven't had much here

187
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: over the last few weeks.

188
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: All right, coming up at a minute, we'll get you

189
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: the check down. And we've got Mark dyked and what

190
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: are you working so feverishly on back there that you're

191
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of not here?

192
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: Well, I'm here, I'm very much here. I'm just keeping

193
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 5: track of the show, keeping up on track, just.

194
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Making sure you look like you were you know, Frowsburro,

195
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: you were ready to go.

196
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 5: Oh well, you know, my wife's telling me the kids

197
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 5: are already up. Yeah, seven o'clock already.

198
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: Good Lord, all right.

199
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I hope you all had a terrific weekend. I hope

200
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: you got to spend some time with your family. Hope

201
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: you got that extra day off yesterday. We are back

202
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: on track and read it to roll again today. Here

203
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: it's ninety three five and one on seven five The.

Speaker 1: Slashing Indeed, Good morning, everyone, and welcome into the Fan

210
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Here's what's happening in the world of sports.

211
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Everybody looking at MACKI Arena up at West Lafayette tonight,

212
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: Purdue hosting number one ranked Michigan. Last time I checked,

213
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: James Boyd had moved up to the two seed line

214
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: coming off a big winning conference last week.

215
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: Rightfully, so they have not been playing at the certain

216
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: level that you know their fans will be wanted to

217
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: as of late until recently.

218
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: So the sky is not falling in West Lafayette.

219
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: No, it is not. And that game starts at six

220
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: point thirty tonight, and it'll be a twenty one and

221
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: four per Due team going up against Michigan's twenty four

222
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 1: and one squad led by Dusty May. So far, the

223
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Wolverings fourteen and one and Big Ten Conference play Perdue

224
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: at eleven and three. And we talked about it just

225
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: a moment ago, Kevin Bowen, how will they handle those

226
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: big three power players that Michigan puts on there, and

227
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: can they hit their three point shots? Because when they

228
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: do that, they are really tough to beat.

229
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's really a bit of a contrasting

230
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: starting lineup, which is kind of weird to say Purdue

231
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: the smaller team when you consider their recent history here,

232
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: but that is the case with the Michigan. Michigan plays

233
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: a lot of guys though, so they can, you know,

234
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: throw a lot of different lineups at you. Obviously, Purdue

235
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: has some depth as well, so home underdog two and

236
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: a half point underdog Noah Eagle Robbie Hummel on the

237
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: call for this one reminder six point thirty so a

238
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: little earlier tip time tonight here inside of a iraqan mack.

239
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: And did you mention where they could watch that game

240
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: on TV? On the peacock wherever they go?

241
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: Sometimes the animal sound serves the purpose. Thank you, Martin.

242
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: All right there you go, right there. We are still

243
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: basking in the glow of the All Star Game. Did

244
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: you pay attention to the All Star Game at all

245
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday?

246
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 4: Did I've watched? What you think this stuff? I thought

247
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: it was pretty good.

248
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: I'm shout out to Pascal Siakam his fourth selection. He

249
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: was playing for Team World. I did not get any

250
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: of it, did not get a victory in the round

251
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: robin kind of setup of the game. But I thought

252
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: three out of the what the four or two out

253
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: of the three games, whatever it was when it came

254
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: to the round robin format, we're pretty good. Until the

255
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 2: end there when you saw the old US team look

256
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 2: a little old against the new or younger US team

257
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: that took home the All Star Game.

258
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: W But I enjoyed it. I mean, I don't know.

259
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: People are going to criticize the regardless and say it

260
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: could have been better or whatever, but hey, I thought

261
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: it was better than what I expected.

262
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, reviews have been that it's way better than it

263
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: has been in recent years, and we'll see if they

264
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: can build on that momentum in the future. Of course,

265
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the big story over the weekend the fine or fines

266
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I should say, hand it out by Adam Silver and

267
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: the NBA to the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers

268
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, tanking. The Jazz got

269
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: hit hard half a million dollars in fines, Pacers got

270
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: a one hundred thousand dollars fine, And I don't know,

271
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: it just feels like it was a weird team the

272
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Pacers to go after when we've seen so many teams

273
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: do so many more egregious things than the Pacers have

274
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: ever done. I get the fact that you basically started,

275
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: you sidelined your entire starting five for a game, but

276
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: it's also a lineup like Pascal Siakam plays as much

277
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,119
Speaker 1: or more as anybody else in the NBA constantly.

278
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we certainly hit a ton on Friday on the show.

279
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: Just the lack of black and white nature to the punishments.

280
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: I kept on saying selective punishments. It seems like that's

281
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 3: the case. We get into Adam Silver's comments from over

282
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: the weekend. Pacers will practice later today, so I assume

283
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: that will be the first time that Rick Carlisle has

284
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: commented on it. Maybe tomorrow we'll try and get Rick

285
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: on with them. Obviously, coming back from the All Star Break,

286
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: they will play Thursday Friday, And if you want to

287
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: continue this, which we will obviously continue the story, the

288
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: Pacers do play a lot of teams around them in

289
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: the standings coming up here, the first five or six

290
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: games back from the All Star breaks, so I'll be

291
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,119
Speaker 3: curious to see how, if any, these fines do impact

292
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: their availability and how much they do play.

293
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Guys, Thursday and Friday, back to back games against the

294
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards in Washington. For the Pacers, they've got a

295
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: couple more days off, try and rest, recover, and get

296
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: ready for the final push for whatever that push ends

297
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: up looking like. Over the weekend, you see Michael Jordan

298
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: gotta win over the weekend. Did you see that?

299
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: I thought we were going ill and over?

300
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 6: Are you.

301
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 4: I gotta talk? You know, I gotta get a little

302
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: bit of get back here.

303
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: It's not certainly, I don't think Illinois is gonna go

304
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 2: and defeate it or anything like that.

305
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: But I enjoyed that. No, I didn't.

306
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: I didn't really understand or I didn't know about Michael

307
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Jordan winning anything until I saw it on the timeline.

308
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 4: He looked very excited.

309
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: He's a sick Oh, the tears in his eyes as

310
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: he'll runever trophy that was showed me how much of

311
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: a competitor he still is.

312
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: But here's the thing for Michael Jordan little backstory is

313
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: his team. Tyler Reddick is the driver that won the

314
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Daytona five hundred driving driving for Michael Jordan's team. Remember,

315
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago Jordan sued NASCAR because of the

316
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: way that they did things, thought it was restrictive to

317
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: the way you could set teams up and all those

318
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: kinds of things. Wins that lawsuit, and on the heels

319
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: of winning that lawsuit, Kevin, his driver, wins the Daytona

320
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: five hundred. So first time in a while Michael Jordan

321
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: because he didn't win a lot as an owner in

322
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: the NBA, but he's back in the Winter circle. And

323
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: I thought i'd point that.

324
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: Out listener Tim wanted to share this message to James Boyd.

325
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: The Illinois hoops team gave up fewer points to the

326
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: IU basket ball team than the football team.

327
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: I feel like that's like a double own though, because

328
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: that means really really good basketball defense and really really

329
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: bad football.

330
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

331
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, that means your basketball team was terrible in Champagne,

332
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: and then my team was.

333
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: You know, football was terrible fifty one.

334
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: In basketball it was a sixty two three and football

335
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: mask me. It will still count.

336
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: It's been burned out of my memory.

337
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that looked like watching that Sunday look like varsity

338
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: versus freshmen, like in size, just like Illinois would just

339
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: like go oh, let me grab that you bound, let

340
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: me go here for the offense and just general and

341
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: jump aside.

342
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: I know the people listening, and I mean it sincerely.

343
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: I didn't think that the game, like offensively, was all

344
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: that different from both sides.

345
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: I thought they both executed fairly well.

346
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: But it's just that, if you want to use like

347
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: a soccer term, it's more shots on goal, right, Like,

348
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: they just kept getting more offensive rebounds and at some

349
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: point I'm like, all right, well we took fifteen more

350
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: shots than you or whatever it ended up being. They're

351
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: going to you know, end up winning that game. We'll

352
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: team shot at bath from three. Yeah, exactly. And also

353
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: Lamar Wilkerson still to give some credit to an how

354
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: you player boy? He can play. I think he can play.

355
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: I think he should be on an all Big ten

356
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: team for sure. Now it's a matter of will he

357
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: be first team on Big ten.

358
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: And he'll be playing in the league next year too,

359
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine. So all right, let's check in on

360
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: the Olympics. I'm fired up because knockout stages started in

361
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: the hockey competition. Some qualifiers today. Right now, Germany leads

362
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: France in the second period three to one, Switzerland leading

363
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: Italy by a score of two to nothing, and the

364
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: men's draw later on today we will have a couple

365
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: of other matchups, but the one will be keeping an

366
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: eye on Kevin Sweden taking on Lotvia. That one starts

367
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: a little bit after three o'clock and the United States

368
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: will get the winner of Sweden versus Latvia as they

369
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: move forward.

370
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, i' watch at bit of the women's hockey team.

371
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: Yesterday were absolutely dominant and now they are in the

372
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: Golden medal match Thursday against Canada, which that's the rivalry

373
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: for those that don'tscessarily follow it. Boy, Yeah, we watched

374
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: a lot in the bow and Household. Matty Bowen was

375
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: heartbroken to the Quad. God, you guys watch the Quad?

376
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did so, I'm losing my reference.

377
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: A lot of gaps from my wife during that performance.

378
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, I hate you.

379
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know that was his nickname.

380
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was rough Choke.

381
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: But Iliam Malanin, who had not lost a competition of

382
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: any kind since twenty twenty three, repeatedly falling on some

383
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: of his jumps and just melted himself right out of

384
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: the top top five even and just really really struggled

385
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: to get anything done. But he also had come up

386
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: big and helped Team USA kind of come from behind

387
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: in the team competition earlier in the week.

388
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: So he watched the Mono Bob and every time they

389
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: show Mono Bob on this TV screen, I'm nervous, I'm

390
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: saying something inappropriate. I'm nervous. I shouldn't say that word

391
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: in front of my children. Mono Bob, I'm nervous, I'm

392
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 3: saying something else. But we won gold and bronze I

393
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: saw and that there couple of moms took home the

394
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: medals there. Shout out to those women there that that

395
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: was quite the scene there to see their jubilation last night.

396
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: All right, And of course a ton of games ongoing

397
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: right now in either Milan or Cortina today. Anything happens

398
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: from a metal perspective. Will update you just as soon

399
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: as we can. National Football League, the Miami Dolphins had

400
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: a busy day yesterday, James. They release edge rusher Bradley

401
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Chubb and wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill coming off a

402
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: devastating knee injury. Don't even know if he'll be ready

403
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to play for anybody at the beginning of the season

404
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: next year. But the question is for both of you,

405
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: it's Bradley Chubb, a guy that the Indianapolis Colts would

406
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: be interested in.

407
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 4: I think you got to kick the tires and check in.

408
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: I know people, and this is what and I do

409
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: love you all, but sometimes I'm like, man, we all

410
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: gotta be a little more reasonable because when you're trying

411
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: to build your roster. And I mentioned it yesterday on

412
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 2: social media, like, hey, they should probably look at this guy.

413
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: And one of the first responses is, oh my gosh,

414
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard signing an old guy who can't do anything.

415
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: That's so on brand. Look, man, you're every team you

416
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: build is going to be flawed in some way. And

417
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: when you're talking about free agency in particular, great edge

418
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: rushers do not become free agents. So whoever you sign

419
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: in free agency, they're going to have something that you

420
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: perhaps do not like, whether it's their age, their injury history,

421
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: their production, whatever the case may be.

422
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: So at Bradley Chubb, he's gonna be thirty.

423
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: I believe this summer not ideal when you're trying to

424
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: build the younger team. As we talked about Kevin with

425
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard, but he has been productive over the last

426
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: couple of seasons when he's been healthy. I know he

427
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: missed twenty twenty four with in acl, came back last year,

428
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: I believe and had I want to say, maybe eight

429
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: and a half sacks or.

430
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 4: Something like that, maybe a little bit more.

431
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: But my point is if they do sign someone like that,

432
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: it makes sense because of who you're moving on from.

433
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: Quit he pay Samson, ebucom Taekwon Lewis, Guys like that.

434
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: Anything else, you guys want to throw in before we

435
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: move on.

436
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: Now, I think we definitely him. We're on that on

437
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: the other side there, because I was agreeing with a

438
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: lot of what James said. And again, with the franchise

439
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: tag window opening up, we could get some clarity. Maybe

440
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: not today, it's a two week window, but you know

441
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: what about Trey Hendrickson And you know what does that

442
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: exactly mean too? Just because they tag them? You know,

443
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: does that open up the trademarket? Would the Colts be

444
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: even a trade candidate considering the lack of draft picks

445
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: that they have. You know, all of those are things

446
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: I think you got a factor in here is we

447
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: will now start to I think get a few more

448
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 3: answers on the Colts offseason.

449
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000

469
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 5: happening here?

470
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

471
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 3: They were. They were in rare form, Like what in

472
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: the world it was?

473
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 7: It?

474
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: Come on school, get here Tuesday.

475
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: Well, we're here now and everybody is in one piece

476
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: or so. I think. One of things we do know

477
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: here in the world of sports, certainly in our neck

478
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: of the woods, the National Football League and football season

479
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: happens three hundred and sixty five days a year, and

480
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: certainly is the case. And Kevin, we saw yesterday the

481
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins cut loose a couple of guys as they

482
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: start to get ready for what will be a complete

483
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: make over for that team. I think over the offseason

484
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: but there are a few teams that will be releasing

485
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: guys that maybe the Colts have eyes for or at

486
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: least want to check out. A guy like Bradley Chubb

487
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: who's released by the Dolphins yesterday, who's had a ton

488
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: of sacks and pressures over the last couple of years,

489
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: even though he's a little bit older and has had

490
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: some injuries in the past, has been very productive. Is

491
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: that a guy that Colts would be really interested in

492
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: going to check out.

493
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm with James on it. You know,

494
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: you're not going to find absolutely perfect in free agency.

495
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: There will be flaws, uh, with every single player that

496
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 3: is out there. That's just the reality of the situation.

497
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: But sometimes you've got away whatever looks one way, personality

498
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: the other way, family one way, you know, etc.

499
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 7: Etc.

500
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: When it comes to finding that match there and what

501
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: do we end up having. Was it ten head coach

502
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 3: openings in the NFL? I believe so, So you know

503
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: that's theoretically ten different systems, different you know, operations, different leaderships.

504
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: Everyone to define it. I know there wasn't ten GM openings.

505
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: Miami was one of the GM openings, But you're going

506
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: to see some of this maybe not to the magnitude

507
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: of Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb and James Daniels and

508
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: Westbrook key Day the IU wide out, Like, maybe you're

509
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: not going to see all of it. But yeah, this

510
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: kind of gets back to the conversation we had late

511
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: in the season when people were like, hey, you know,

512
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: if the Colts move on from Chris Ballard, you know,

513
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: what could next year's roster look like? And I felt

514
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: like every time I was met with that question, I said,

515
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: it might look like a total one to eighty from

516
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: the previous year, just because when you know, people walk

517
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: into any sort of business and they get their fingerprints

518
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: on it, they're gonna want to put their own touch

519
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: to it, and they're not necessarily going to be too

520
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 3: inclined by some of the financial situations that they see,

521
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: particularly with aging guys there. So you know, it's very reminiscent,

522
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: not to the magnitude, but it is reminiscent of you know,

523
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: the old Black Monday the Colts had when Ryan Grigson

524
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: took over in whatever that was twenty twelve, of you know,

525
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: all of the veteran veteran cults that you know he

526
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 3: parted ways with from a financial situation. So I'm curious

527
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 3: if we see any of this other stuff along with

528
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: obviously from the franchise tag window being open starting today.

529
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: What do you think the perfect offseason looks like, James

530
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Cults.

531
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: The perfect offseason.

532
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, like when they go to camp in late July,

533
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: early August, what has happened that they're like, man, we're good,

534
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: let's go.

535
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: Boy.

536
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: I think, in a realistic world, trade for Patrick Mahomes.

537
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean, in the realistic world, yes, in a.

538
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: Realistic world, you're hoping that Daniel Jones is I had

539
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: a schedule with the Achilles injury. You're probably hoping that

540
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: your various war didn't retire and he's someone that you

541
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: can depend on moving forward. I would say you probably

542
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: moved on from Anthony Richardson as well, and you've added

543
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: some talent when it comes to the edge rusher position

544
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: and also linebacker. I mean, there's a lot of different

545
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: directions you could take that question. It's a broad one

546
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: for sure, but in short, you want to revamp your

547
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: defense and you want to hope that the main guy

548
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: who's driving in the ship or steering a ship rather

549
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: use a better term, Daniel Jones is looking like the

550
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones that we saw through the first ten weeks

551
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 2: of the season, though that might not and probably will

552
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: not be the case.

553
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: I asked that because obviously every general manager they've got

554
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: their big boards and their offices, and they have their

555
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: targets and what they think they want to do, and

556
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: who they want to replace and how and who they

557
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: want to bring back on a certain contract and all

558
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. And I know it's a broad question,

559
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: but Kevin, I'll kind of pose it to you too.

560
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: In a perfect Colts offseason world, I know they want

561
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: to add edge rusher. I know that they there's a

562
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: couple of things they want to do defensively. I know

563
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: that they got to make sure that the Daniel Jones

564
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: comes back healthy, and they got to figure out what

565
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: to do with their wide receiver corps. But when we

566
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: do get to say August first or the end of July,

567
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: what does that look like to you?

568
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, definitely edge rusher. I would say linebacker

569
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: needs a starter, and then I think one more in

570
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 3: the front, probably another edge rusher. To be totally honest

571
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: with you, I would have no qualms if they spent

572
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: notable free agency dollars there and then came back and

573
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 3: spent a day through Day two draft pick either a

574
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: second or third rounder at that position. Again, I just

575
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: think it means that much. And you know, I feel

576
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: like I'm listening to my dad, you know, coach me

577
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: in baseball. Hey, you know back in the day, just

578
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 3: because you strike out doesn't mean you continue to leave

579
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: the bat on your shoulders. You got to continue to swing.

580
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: Even you know Chris Boward has struck out a lot

581
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: at pass rusher, particularly edge. Well, he's still the man

582
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: calling the shots, so he's got to continue to swing

583
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 3: at it. You can't just sit there and act like

584
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: all of a sudden it's going to happen. And they

585
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: do have three just purely free agent defensive ends. So

586
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 3: even if, like whatever, even if you don't feel the

587
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 3: need to massively upgrade, you have to do something with

588
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: those three. I mean, Quitty pay, Taekwon, Lewis, Sampson Ebcom

589
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: who James mentioned earlier. You know, if all of them

590
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: are going to walk, I mean, that's a lot of

591
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: playing time if nothing else. Now we can argue how

592
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: quality of playing time that is there. So and then

593
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: we'll see how the franchise tag works. I guess, just

594
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: to update everybody on that again. Today the franchise tag

595
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: window is open. It is open for a two week period, James.

596
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: If I remember correctly, I want to say Michael Pittman

597
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: JUNR when he was tagged, it was very late in

598
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: that fourteen day window. I want to say it might

599
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 3: even been the final day of the franchise tag period.

600
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: So you'll have two weeks from today. Obviously a week

601
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: of that will include the NFL Combine when typically a

602
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: lot of these meetings happened between personnel and agents. And

603
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: I'll continue to reiterate what I've said for the last

604
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: month or so. To me, the more viable candidate for

605
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: the Colts to use that on as Alec Pierce, more

606
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: so than Daniel Jones. Yes, Daniel Jones's franchise would be

607
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: forty six million. I believe it is. That is a

608
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 3: full one year guarantee for a man coming off of

609
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: torn Achilles in less than ten months. No, thank you,

610
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: Alec Pearce twenty eight ish million. I believe it is

611
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: for a wide out that to me is a little

612
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: bit more realistic, and I think the competitive market if

613
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: he were to hit free agency, would be pretty robust

614
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: for Alec Pierce. And so that's why I think you

615
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: have a better chance of getting kind of a two

616
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: year deal, maybe a three year deal done for Daniel

617
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: Jones Alec Pearce who slapped the tag on him, and

618
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 3: then see obviously you can get a long term deal

619
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: done off of that. But it's a tool for a reason,

620
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 3: and be prepared to use it.

621
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And does it feel like a foregone conclusion that

622
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Junior is not a member of the Cults

623
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: next year.

624
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that, but if I had to put

625
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: a percentage on it, Jeff, I probably go like seventy

626
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: thirty seventy that he's gone thirty days back, mainly because

627
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: you have to restructure his contract significantly and he has

628
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: to agree to that to come back. And on top

629
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: of that, you might just want to look at other

630
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: options when it comes to the wide receiver position, because

631
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, we're talking about a guy who's I think

632
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: he's due to make over twenty million this year coming up.

633
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: So if you cut him then or if you restructure

634
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: with him, how low is he going to make his salary? Essentially,

635
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: how much of a pay cut will he willing to

636
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: take or will he or will Pittman himself say, you

637
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: know what, you know, as much as I love playing

638
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: with Daniel Jones and in Indianapolis, he is coming off

639
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: in Achilles, tear, I could go somewhere else, I lie

640
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Green Bay or I don't know, Buffalo, or somewhere where

641
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: they have an established quarterback, many wide receiver help and

642
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: you know, kind of revitalize my career a little bit,

643
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: get money and play somewhere with the quote unquote contender.

644
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: So we'll see all it shakes out.

645
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: But I'm leaning towards him not being back this year,

646
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: and he was very candid about that even after the

647
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: final game of the season. I mean, we're in the

648
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: locker room and he's saying, if this was my last

649
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: game as an Indianapolis Colt, I've enjoyed my time here.

650
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: And we'll keep an eye on all that for it

651
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: and anything else that happens is in the National Football League.

652
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: Will keep you up to date on We got the

653
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: Combine coming up obviously very soon we'll be broadcasting live

654
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: from there, and well, I would imagine we get a

655
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: chance to talk to Chris Ballard again usually comes over

656
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: and spends a good amount of time with us and

657
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: kind of see what he's thinking where the Colts might

658
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: be heading. But again no first round draft picks. So

659
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: that's do we think that once draft day gets here,

660
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: we see the Chris ballad where you start to trade

661
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: away a third round pick for a couple of fifths,

662
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: and you just start to try and pick as many

663
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: extra selections up as you can.

664
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: James, No, I think you really can't afford to do

665
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: the bullet and go because you already gave up a

666
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: first round pick for a Sauce Gardner. I think this

667
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: year you cannot really mess around with trading back because

668
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: you need immediate help. And so when we're looking at

669
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: day two of the draft, which is what the second

670
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: and third round, you need to be picking players during

671
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: those rounds and picking dues, they'll be different makers.

672
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: Speaking of Colts connections, and obviously a big one tonight

673
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: up by sixty five. This happened, I think, James, just

674
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: after you and I signed off on Friday, that the

675
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: younger brother of Alec Pierce has decided to round out

676
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: his college basketball career playing for Matt Painter in the Boilers.

677
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: Cayden Pierce. You want to talk about a family of athletes,

678
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: your lore. Cayden Pierce was at Princeton for three years,

679
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: very solid player for them. I think he was actually

680
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: Ivy League Player of the Year one of the years

681
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: he was at Princeton, and he elected to I don't

682
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: believe they get the grad year in the IVY League

683
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: if I understand it correctly, but he is elected to

684
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: take his final year of eligibility. He visited a bunch

685
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: of mean Yukon and Louisville and gon Zag. I mean,

686
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: you know, a bunch of great schools and about six

687
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: six sixty seven wing there, so you know, get the

688
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: six and the seven in there early in the seven

689
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: o'clock hour for those back to school here, and he

690
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: will be off to play for Matt Paynter coming up

691
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: next season. Does that influence Alec Pierce at all? Does

692
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: he want to see his brother play? You want to

693
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: drive up sixty five a litle litle bit here.

694
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll have that much of an influence, Kevin,

695
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: mainly because when you're very rich, your brother will understand

696
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 2: why you perhaps want another team to be very rich.

697
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: I'll fly you in to see me, or I'll fly

698
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: in to see you. Either way, I.

699
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: Will say though I've heard, I've heard, and again you

700
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: you never can like get official numbers on this, but

701
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: Kate and Pierence got paid a hefty amount of money

702
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: to join the Purdue boiler Makers. So we'll see if

703
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: that pays off next year. And it's kind of a

704
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: weird thing in a sense because he's going to be

705
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: part of a new era I guess of Purdue basketball.

706
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, they could could have really used them this year.

707
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: I'lly any team right there that gets a great transfer.

708
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: But I'm excited for him, And I mean, how about

709
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: that on the resume? You get the Princeton degree and

710
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: then you get to go play college basketball Perdue.

711
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: And I think the oil got favorites brother Justin. I

712
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: want to say he finished his college basketball career at

713
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: North Carolina. And I believe there's a sister too that

714
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 3: maybe has some d one history there. So yes, quite

715
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: the athletic family, the peer sponge there. But yeah, Kate Pierce,

716
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: a Gett three year starter at Princeton, was on their

717
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen team a couple years ago, playing an important

718
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: role for them. He will be a part of the

719
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: Boilers coming up next season.

720
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: You I've always asked Alec why didn't he go to

721
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: basketball route?

722
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: And then he's the shortest of all the brothers, right yeah, yeah,

723
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 3: but he's.

724
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: Got some decent I don't act like Alec is like

725
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: some small dude here. But he told me the jumper

726
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: is broke. Oh, pretty good defender though, lefty jumper, right yeah,

727
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And I mean I have to see it

728
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: to believe it, but yeah, he told me the jumper

729
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 2: it doesn't look as good as his brothers. But he

730
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: also told me that when it comes to defense, he

731
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: was the guy, which doesn't really surprise me too much

732
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: being the football dude.

733
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: Well, later on tonight, Purdue will be at home at

734
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Mackie taking on number one Michigan. Just for fun, I

735
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: was looking this up this morning. What do you think

736
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: the cheapest ticket right now you can get on the

737
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: secondary market is to get into Mackie and see that

738
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: game tonight. James gotta be over a thousand, one hundred

739
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: and seventy three dollars. I mean it's a regular season game.

740
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 4: Wait, where are we sitting at just to get in?

741
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Just to get in? Oh, tickets as low as hundred

742
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: and seven.

743
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: Media once court side said lower ball and I'm like

744
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: me a thousand.

745
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: Bucks foot rub from the mascots.

746
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no way.

747
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: But there's really not a terrible seat in MACKI though.

748
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: For a game I went for a practice years ago.

749
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: No, it's an awesome, awesome college basketball atmosphere. And again

750
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: I'll continue to rad rate all morning long. I let

751
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: off the show. I don't know if it was the

752
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: day off yesterday, but I can't wait for tonight. I

753
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: think it's an I think it's a great just college

754
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: basketle game period nationally and then locally, I don't know.

755
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm so sick and tired of debating

756
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: the pacers and the fines and the you know, tanking

757
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: and resting and all of it, and you know, the

758
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: Colts running it back for the umpteenth year in a row.

759
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 3: It's just like, oh my gosh, can we finally get

760
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 3: some real, you know, magnitude filled atmospheres And tonight'sd I mean,

761
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: this is exactly why Raydon Smith and Fletcher Lawyer and

762
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,479
Speaker 3: Trey Kaufman Ren you know, why you continued to stay

763
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: there and to be in these moments and Friday night

764
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: it'll be similar. I mean, it's not the number one

765
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 3: team in America, but obviously it's your rival who beat

766
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: you earlier in the season, so can't wait. And again,

767
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 3: Michigan has been They've been incredible this season. I don't

768
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: know if people fully understand they're twenty four to one.

769
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 3: They've won twenty of those twenty four games by double digits,

770
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 3: thirteen of the twenty four by at least twenty points.

771
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: I was stunned to see what they've done on the

772
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: road in the Big Ten. You know, we always talk

773
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 3: about it. Last night, what do we see Houston goes

774
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: on the road and they lose to Iowa State. Like,

775
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, playing on the road in college basketball and

776
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: conference play is very, very difficult. Michigan's road results in

777
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: the Big Ten this season. They are undefeated on the

778
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 3: road in the Big Ten this season. And these are

779
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: the margins of victory eighteen, two, ten, ten, twelve, twenty one,

780
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: and twelve. Every single win is by at least double

781
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: digits except for one. Again, this is on the road.

782
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredibly impressive what Dusty may has done

783
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: with really a roster that doesn't have a lot of

784
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: retention on it. I mean he went back into the

785
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: portal for a lot of it here, so I can't

786
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 3: wait for tonight. Should be an absolute rocking atmosphere. They're

787
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: already lined up outside of whatever it is called the

788
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 3: Cactus up there, Harry's that's six.

789
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 4: Thirty star time boys. They thought about us.

790
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I like that a lot. By the way,

791
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: James most expensive ticket right now, not even quite on

792
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: the floor, but thirteen hundred and twenty six dollars if

793
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: you want to sit in section see eight.

794
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: Set it up. Boss.

795
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: He's got jump change for James.

796
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: I know, man, he just take that out of the

797
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: front pocket right there, right.

798
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what is it? The show?

799
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: Dontel show, don't tell. But anyway, there are you can

800
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: still get some tickets up there. They're going to pay

801
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: you about it. Looks like it's gotten even more expensive

802
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: since we started talking. It's one hundred and eighty for

803
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: the cheapest now just to get in, just to get it.

804
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: But it'll be a great environment though.

805
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: No, it'll be a lot of fun and I'm looking

806
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: forward to watching from the comfort of my easy chair

807
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: in the BA. Yeah, so that'll be a lot of fun.

808
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: But six thirty three ninety nine is when it starts tonight.

809
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking forward to. We talked a little bit.

810
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: I know you guys talked Friday about it, but there

811
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: were statements made by the NBA Commissionered Adam Silver over

812
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: the weekend about tanking and they're going to do everything

813
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: that's available to them and use all the tools at

814
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: their disposal to keep teams from making a mockery of

815
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: the game. And they started last week, as we know

816
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: by now, by kind of taking it out on the

817
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz and inexplicably one hundred thousand dollars fine to

818
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers, which I don't know. Was that just

819
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: the wrong place, wrong time? More than anything, the NBA

820
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: was going to make a statement because the Jazz have

821
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: been so egregious about it for a couple of weeks.

822
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: And on the same night the Pacers decided to sit

823
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys even though they had all played

824
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: the night before. I don't know, it just felt like

825
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: it was why now, why us?

826
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: If you add five tickets to remaining Pacers home games,

827
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: would you be content if they sat there?

828
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 7: Dudes?

829
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: Is there any sort of like if you said I

830
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 3: care about entertainment or I care about the draft pick,

831
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: what do you think the split of fans would say the.

832
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: Split of fans who are going to the game go

833
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: into the games, because I think I think that's an important.

834
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: Out there, because if you spent your money, correct, it's

835
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 3: easy for us on the couch to say, but if

836
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: you're spending the money there, let's say you got five

837
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 3: tickets remaining here, five games made in the schedule.

838
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I pay my money. I want

839
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: to see you out there for all five dead serious

840
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: on that.

841
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

842
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Understand from a big picture of standpoint, I wouldn't go

843
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: to the game and be like appall to not see.

844
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 3: But if you didn't buy the ticket for Mike Potter,

845
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: I want to see all.

846
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm a paying customer. I want the product that

847
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 2: I paid for. I didn't pay to see Michael Potter.

848
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 2: I didn't pay to see Quinn Jackson and no direspect

849
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: to those guys. They're part of the team. But you

850
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: know what I mean. You pay to see the stars.

851
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 2: You pay to see the players that will be franchised.

852
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to say pillars, but like big pieces

853
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: of what you're doing in the future. Yeah, and I

854
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: want to see a Visa Zubo yeah.

855
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: Which again Chad Buchanan did say on the record to

856
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 3: Tony East, this is before the fine, to be clear

857
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: that the Visa Zoobots would play. And I believe he

858
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: said Obi Topping too. You know, we've yet to see

859
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 3: Topping since what game helped first week of the season. Second, Oh,

860
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: I got so, Pacers have a practice late today, hopefully

861
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: Rick Carlisle tomorrow will join us. And I you know,

862
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 3: I'm curious what, if any I would assume that the

863
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 3: fine would influence your decision making at some level, not

864
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: that the Pacers were I think egregiously resting guys by

865
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 3: any means. I think that's a massive misnomer. And you know,

866
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: to your point, Jeff, I did think Adam Silver kind

867
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 3: of said indirectly, enough was enough basically at a state

868
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: of the union, you know, it's reached I'm paraphrasing here,

869
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 3: but he said, it's reached kind of epic proportion, if

870
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: you will. And I think this draft class has a

871
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: lot to do with it. I think the fact that

872
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: you have what three or four guys that would probably

873
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: go number one or two and a lot of drafts here.

874
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 3: I think that is contributing to it as well.

875
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the one thing you do know, which we've

876
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: seen over and over and over, guys or competitors, they're

877
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: playing for their NBA futures. They want to get on

878
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: the floor and they want to take care of their business.

879
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: The guys you put on the floor, James, They're going

880
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: to show up and compete. They're not just going to say, oh,

881
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to play at eighty percent tonight. That's just

882
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: not going to happen.

883
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

884
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: But his overall point is, hey, we see right through

885
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: what the Jazz and the Pacers are trying to do,

886
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: and we want to figure out a remedy how to

887
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: fix that. And I think he kind of put the

888
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: whole league on notice. Now what that looks like moving

889
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: forward for other teams remains to be seeing. I think

890
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 2: there's a lot of great area within all of that.

891
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: But one thing I am against is the whole like,

892
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: let's get rid of the draft thing. That's been a

893
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: hot topic debate over the weekend. I am not in

894
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: that camp. I understand like the theory behind it, but boy,

895
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: a league without a draft.

896
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: I can't really rock with that.

897
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about the NBA Draft with Kevin Sweeney

898
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 1: at Draft Expert a little bit later on today nine thirty.

Speaker 1: Rob Blackman joins us at nine talk about tonight's perdue

Speaker 1: basketball game against Michigan, and we'll talk a little bit

Speaker 1: Oh so how about that?

934
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: Here we go.

935
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: I like that. I will give you more information in

936
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: the next week or two. But we'll be back at

937
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, We'll be back at Legends

938
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: and it'll be a springtime. I love this year. So

939
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: there you go, so get it. Where are you going to?

940
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Where would you go play golf today? If you had

941
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: the day off and go anywhere would you go play?

942
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 3: Honestly, we just need to find the driest course, because

943
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that's still a bit wet out there.

944
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: So no complaints. If you're playing golf in February, March

945
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 3: and April. Hell, they could knock those apartments down and

946
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: I'll play at Shorties again.

947
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: Clean and place right, just well.

948
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: Kevin was the commissioner before, so shout out him and

949
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell. I'm sure he can find you a cool well.

950
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 3: A public course, but there's Roger good are gonna have

951
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: to lift cleaning place that, I would say, Bradley Cooper

952
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: quite a while.

953
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 4: That world that Kevin lives in, Mark, we're not used

954
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 4: to it. We're not a part of that, I know,

955
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 4: Mas of the fan.

956
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: Big story tonight, Purdue hosting number one ranked in Michigan,

957
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: six thirty pm. Macki Arena. It'll be on Peacock today,

958
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: Mark Dyton. Uh, if you're looking forward to just watch

959
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: that game on TV. Yeah.

960
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

961
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 1: Michigan has only had one loss this year, and you

962
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 1: pointed out Kevin that they have not lost away from

963
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: home this year, and they have been ultra impressive when

964
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: they've played anybody on the road so far.

965
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean even at home, they've been pretty

966
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 3: dominant as well. Wisconsin had to bang home fifteen threes

967
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 3: to beat them earlier this season, So you know, Braden

968
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 3: Smith was just outstanding in both those games, just quarterbacking

969
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 3: at all. I mean for those you know that you

970
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 3: know missed a little bit that Iowa gave, just the

971
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: balance that Purdue had. Jakari Harris very good early.

972
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 7: In that game.

973
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 3: But you know, again Braden just quarterbacking at all for them.

974
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: An Iowa team that had one seven of eight it

975
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 3: produe just ran them out of their own building there.

976
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 3: So if you want a shot at winning the Big Ten,

977
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 3: you know this is a game you have to have, period.

978
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: You know, Michigan is not going to be losing, you know,

979
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: multiple games, I think the rest of the way to

980
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: the point where Purdue could lose tonight and still get

981
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: back up there. So two and a half point underdog,

982
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: and again I just can't wait for one. Will be

983
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 3: one of the best college at basketball atmosphere as we've

984
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: seen this season. It'll be absolutely rocking in there tonight

985
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 3: and really too a bit of kind of contrasting in

986
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 3: a way. Michigan is uber big, and you know Purdue

987
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: plays the three guards in that starting lineupint of times

988
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 3: they go to kind of Jack Benter as that stretch forward.

989
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: So I'm really curious to see how that impacts Purdue

990
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: because usually we don't say that about the Boilers in

991
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 3: their matchup.

992
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: Kevin, this feels like a game where you could be

993
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 2: looking back at the end and saying, man, Cam, Heidi

994
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 2: Miles Covid, someone with that short athleticism on the perimeter

995
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 2: might help you out. So I wonder if that will

996
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: be a big factor in tonight's game, just the amount

997
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: of wings you have that can hang, you know, get

998
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: you the extra possessions, obviously knocked down shots and defend.

999
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: That to me is kind of where I look at

1000
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 2: Purdue and they're a really good team, but I wander

1001
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: to make that last leap to you know, get here

1002
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: when it comes to the final four. Is do you

1003
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 2: have enough, like just just athletically to get here. Very

1004
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: interesting to see that tonight.

1005
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 3: Well, and last year these teams played three times and

1006
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 3: just some wild meetings, and you know, I don't want

1007
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: to put too much stock in him because Michigan's roster

1008
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 3: has turned over a ton but you know, Perdue was

1009
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: dominant inside of Mackie really kind of humbled Michigan. And

1010
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 3: then if you remember the game in Chrysler, Braden Smith

1011
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: almost single handed, he took the game over in the

1012
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 3: final few minutes to try and pull off that comeback

1013
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 3: in that upset. And then over here at game bridgefield

1014
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: House in the Big Ten tournament, Michigan then ran Perdue

1015
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: out of the building. So again, three very different games. Now,

1016
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: if you look at the Michigan Corp. So much of

1017
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 3: it has changed, so I don't want to put too

1018
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 3: much stock into it, but you know, new wouldn't shock

1019
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: me at all. These two teams, you know whatever, appere

1020
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: in different regions coming up here in a few weeks

1021
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 3: and they call Lucas Oil home first week April.

1022
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh. Looking forward to that game tonight. And I think

1023
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: you know to your point too, James, I I CJ. Cox.

1024
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: I think needs to have a big game. He's been

1025
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: pretty good shooting the ball lately, especially in the second

1026
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: half of games. He needs to play well. Fletcher Lawyer

1027
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: is going to need to play well. And I do

1028
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: think that Braiden Smith needs to take control of the

1029
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: flow of that basketball game, which we've seen he is

1030
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: able to do. I know, Elia Kiddo is a really

1031
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: good guard, but he's not Braden Smith. And I think

1032
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: it's going to take all of those guys stepping up

1033
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: and playing their best games to beat this really good

1034
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: Michigan team. But I look at CJ. Cox and I

1035
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: look at Fletcher Lawyer, and if we just assume that

1036
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your standard game out of Smith, you're

1037
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna get your standard game out of Trey Kaufman, Wren

1038
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: and you know Kloff shows up and just hangs with

1039
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: those big three. For Michigan, it's gonna be guys like

1040
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: Cox and Lawyer. They're going to make the difference of

1041
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: whether or not you can hang and win or you

1042
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: just can't quite keep up.

1043
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: Yep.

1044
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it though. This is a chance to

1045
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 2: make a statement, a big one at home.

1046
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: Yep. Looking forward to that. So that comes your way

1047
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: at six point thirty tonight. In the meantime, we keep

1048
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: looking at the National Footall League. If you're just joining us,

1049
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: we talked about it, I don't know about half an

1050
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: hour hour ago. Indianapolis Colts, like every other team in

1051
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, Kevin keeping an eye on what happens with

1052
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: these other teams and the Miami Dolphins got it started

1053
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: with some big names yesterday as they released edge rusher

1054
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill. Hill's going to be an

1055
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: interesting case. He's not anybody I don't think the Colts

1056
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: would be interested in any way. But when you're looking

1057
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: at the rest of the league with Tyreek Hill, clearly

1058
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: he's been an elite receiver for most of his career,

1059
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: but now he's thirty two and he's coming off a

1060
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: horrific knee injury in which there were multiple things that

1061
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: went wrong with that knee injury. Is anybody gonna sign

1062
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: him before they can see him even running again at

1063
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: this point in time, at thirty.

1064
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 3: Two, Yeah, he technically could signed as early as today

1065
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 3: just because they did release him. But yeah, to your point,

1066
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 3: there's going to be a big, big medical aspect to it. Mark,

1067
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: we pull up that Braden Smith audio. I do want

1068
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 3: to chat it a little bit about Braidon Smith, because

1069
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: you know he has a cult. That's Braiden Smith for

1070
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 3: the Colts, by the way, not Braiden Smith for the

1071
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 3: Predue boiler Makers. I feel like my search history is

1072
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 3: always confused on who exactly I'm searching for the Colts.

1073
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: One or the Purdue one. But you know, as far

1074
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 3: as Tyreek is concerned, I would say the George Pickens

1075
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: thing is probably more of an Alec Pierce impact. You know,

1076
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 3: do the Cowboys tag George Pickens? Therefore, that could make

1077
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 3: Pierce the top white out on the open market, with

1078
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 3: that influences the Colts decision making at all. But this

1079
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: was from Jack Doyle did a great podcast this year

1080
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: over on the Colts Audio Network and he had Anthony Castanzo,

1081
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 3: former Colts offensive tackle, on and and and The Braden

1082
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 3: Smith story, I think is an interesting one because he,

1083
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, really is one of the more solid best

1084
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 3: draft picks in the Chris Ballard era. You know, when

1085
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: you think about it, he wasn't even drafted to be

1086
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 3: an offensive tackle and then you know, was out there

1087
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 3: at right tackle and it's been a really, really good

1088
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: player for them. But there is an element of like

1089
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: can you pay everybody when it comes to free agency,

1090
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: and I think Brandon Smith falls into a little bit

1091
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: of that. I guess we should probably start here, does

1092
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: Brad Smith want to continue to play? You know that

1093
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 3: maybe is a quot question that some people would have,

1094
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 3: But I found this interesting. This is Anthony Castanzo describing

1095
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: of the level of play Braiden Smith and maybe a

1096
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 3: little bit of just you know, how much he's taken

1097
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 3: for granted.

1098
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 9: I think Braden Smith is one of the most underappreciated

1099
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 9: players in the NFL. I watch games constantly. Nobody no

1100
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 9: offensive line. Maybe a couple guys like I'm thinking, like

1101
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 9: maybe like a Pinay Sewell can physically move a person

1102
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 9: from point A to point B against their will like

1103
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 9: Braden Smith can in the run game like it is.

1104
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 9: I think if you were to ask Jonathan Taylor, you know, like,

1105
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 9: how much does Braden Smith mean to the run game,

1106
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 9: I think he'd give you a pretty confident answer because, yeah,

1107
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 9: he absolutely ejects people. So if he does leave in

1108
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 9: free agency, that'll be a big hole to Phil and

1109
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 9: I liked what I saw at Travis. I mean, he

1110
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 9: he plays really well. Again, it's he's gonna have to

1111
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 9: get loan, He's gonna have to drive, because to fill

1112
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 9: the shoes of Brandon Smith.

1113
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 3: Is a big one.

1114
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 4: Again.

1115
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: You know that is obviously Anthony Cassanzo. They're chatting about

1116
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 3: Braiden Smith, and it just seems like James that given

1117
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 3: Jalen Travis's presence, you got to pass it toward some

1118
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 3: places and you know, offensive line we've seen him. We

1119
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: saw last year Will Fries to mackins Alvus, Ryan Kelly

1120
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 3: of TANNEBORDLINI and by all the council has worked out

1121
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 3: pretty well for you, especially when we consider the contracts

1122
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: those guys signed for in Minnesota. So you know, my

1123
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: assumption is Braden Smith is not brought back, but I

1124
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 3: also think it's worth acknowledging just how quality of a

1125
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 3: player he's been since twenty eighteen, and obviously he's been

1126
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: through a lot off the field here in the last

1127
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 3: you know, eighteen months or so.

1128
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, yeah, for sure.

1129
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: The reason why I think I pivoted to the he

1130
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: won't be back campus just the way they've reloaded in

1131
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 2: years past. And one of the things that they didn't

1132
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: discuss in that clip is the injury history with Braden Smith.

1133
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 2: You know, I understand he's been a good player when

1134
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: he's been available, but how available has he been? I

1135
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: get that last year the games that he missed were

1136
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 2: due to his OCD, which he thankfully has now gotten

1137
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: under better control. And child to him for being so

1138
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 2: candid about that. On a tangent. I think that him

1139
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: talking about his mental health so openly will help a

1140
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 2: lot of other people within this upcoming year. He ended

1141
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 2: the year on injury reserve due to a neck injury

1142
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: and a concussion, and I don't want to just dismiss

1143
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: that like it's nothing. It is something and something to

1144
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: consider going forward. So we'll see how that shakes out.

1145
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 2: But a lot of these questions, honestly, we have Kevin

1146
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: I think will be good to follow up with with

1147
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard. I do want to make it clear when

1148
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 2: we go to the draft combine, when we speak to

1149
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 2: the general manager, I would say maybe a third of

1150
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 2: the questions are about the actual draft and draft needs

1151
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: versus Okay, Hey, we haven't talked to you in a while.

1152
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 4: How is Daniel Jones doing?

1153
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: Hey?

1154
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 4: Do you know Travera's war was gonna play football this year?

1155
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 9: Oh?

1156
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 4: By the way, is Anthony's I better?

1157
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: Like those types of things I think will take precedent

1158
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: until we get into the Okay, now we've got all

1159
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 2: that out the way.

1160
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 4: By the way, the combines here, what do you think

1161
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 4: about these prospects?

1162
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest news item for next week of the

1163
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 3: combine will probably be chavarious ward as you're playing or

1164
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 3: not like the biggest purely you know, do you have

1165
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 3: an answer on that or not? You know, the Alec

1166
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 3: Pierce again, you're in a two week window here with

1167
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 3: this franchise tag. That could take that up all the

1168
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 3: way until you know, getting two weeks from today. This

1169
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 3: week got on the text line from Cody. He was

1170
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 3: getting back into our conversation about the Pacers, and you know,

1171
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 3: we were debating a little bit earlier. If you had

1172
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 3: tickets to five games the rest of the season, would

1173
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 3: you rather see the entertainment value of guys playing or

1174
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: would you rather see guys sitting because you care more

1175
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 3: about the draft pick. Cody points out that he would

1176
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 3: appreciate if teams had to publicly reveal twenty four hours

1177
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 3: before a game what they were doing. You think that

1178
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 3: would impact things in a positive way at all.

1179
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 2: I don't think it's realistic. I think it would like

1180
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 2: if you in a vacuum, say you got to give

1181
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 2: us who's playing who's not twenty four hours in advance. Yes,

1182
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 2: that would be great for the fans, but I don't

1183
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 2: think that would be necessarily realistic for the true game time.

1184
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 4: Decisions. Yeah, because who's to say.

1185
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: You know that ankle you're dealing with, that you can

1186
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: play through it or not. And who's to say you

1187
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: don't wake up the day of the game and you're

1188
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 2: not feeling so great. So I think that you could

1189
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 2: run into some issues there. I do like the idea

1190
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 2: of it, but I just think that in practice you

1191
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 2: will inevitably find some loopholes or some things that might

1192
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 2: not always be in a sphirit of the rule.

1193
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And when you look back at what they did

1194
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: before they sat all those guys last week, if you

1195
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: looked at the injury report the day before, guys were

1196
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: all listed as questionable or game time decisions. And even

1197
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam on the day that they did sit him,

1198
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: they did put you know, rest. It's not like they

1199
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: were lying about what they were going to do necessarily.

1200
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think if we could see it coming, and

1201
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: I think we saw that they were going to take

1202
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys and sit them down for that

1203
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 1: game last week, it felt like they fairly telegraphed what

1204
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: they were doing. It's not like they just at the

1205
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: last second said, hey, we're not playing any of these guys.

1206
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 1: That's what bothered me so much. I thought that they

1207
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: were pretty straightforward and what they were doing and how

1208
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: they were doing it.

1209
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: I think some of the wording was confusing to me. James,

1210
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 3: I know we hit on this Friday, but like, and

1211
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 3: you read the statement really in depth, but there was

1212
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: something to the effect of like they could have sat

1213
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 3: in another game. Yeah, Like, I don't necessarily the.

1214
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 2: Implication there is that you could have sat them against

1215
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: the team that you weren't directly competing against.

1216
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 3: For guys, against good teams, not bad teams. That's more

1217
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 3: or less what they're saying.

1218
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: That's how I interpreted it. But to your point, Hey, Commissioner,

1219
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: can we get some clarity here?

1220
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 3: So much great area. Yeah, And like I listened to

1221
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 3: Silver over the weekend, and you know, and also listening

1222
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 3: to some NBA people discuss how Adam Silver's tone was,

1223
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 3: you know, he was on edge. Yeah, they pretty much

1224
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 3: said that that was you know, maybe the most direct

1225
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: I've heard Silver. You know, he did acknowledge that, you know,

1226
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 3: the the stripping of draft picks, which that's that's the

1227
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 3: big one, is that next Yeah, I don't know if

1228
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 3: we can be there in the next couple of months.

1229
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 3: I guess the Jazz theoretically because they're fine, is more

1230
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,720
Speaker 3: than the Pacers. They would be next up on that list,

1231
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 3: if indeed that is it. And what does that mean?

1232
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 3: Are you really stripping away the first rounder? Are you

1233
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 3: doing more of the second rounder to start things off with?

1234
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 3: That would be do you move them to the back

1235
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 3: of the lottery. I mean, these are all questions I have,

1236
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 3: and again we've yet to hear from the Pacers, right.

1237
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 3: You know the Jazz owner Ryan Smith, he chirped a

1238
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 3: little bit on Twitter. That's kind of his mo Herb

1239
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 3: Simon probably not going am I on the four you tab?

1240
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 3: Or am I on the following tab here?

1241
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 2: Don't think you're smoking publicly, Kevin. Since maybe twenty twenty one,

1242
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: not a.

1243
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 3: Lot of owners would have their team go to Game

1244
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 3: seven of the NBA Finals and just sit quietly. That's

1245
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 3: how Herbs operated. So Rick Carlisle five o'clock today, he's

1246
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 3: supposed to be back to practice and then, you know,

1247
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 3: we'll see exactly what the statement is. So you know,

1248
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 3: nothing from a formal response over the weekend anything like that.

1249
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely curious to see how he responds to that.

1250
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: I also like to point out the Pacers won that

1251
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: game against the Nets where they sat Siakam, nem Hard,

1252
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 1: Nie Smith, McConnell, and Zubats. They did win the basketball game, but.

1253
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 3: That's not the game the NBA's referencing, I know, but.

1254
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: It's just just to be that's what everybody's looking at.

1255
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Jazz game from a couple of weeks ago,

1256
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 2: which they did lose. So again, I understand why the

1257
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 2: NBA is trying to say, look, we see what you're doing,

1258
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: but it's a gray area, man, when you try to

1259
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: tell people when they should play. And then I think

1260
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: the bigger issue is probably with the Jazz trying to

1261
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: tell them who should play in certain moments of the

1262
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: game where they actually I believe won one of the

1263
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 2: games against the Heat, which they got fined for. So

1264
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: it's a slippery slope, but it's something that I think

1265
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: will be a bigger topic once we get towards the

1266
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: end of the season and we start seeing for real, Okay,

1267
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 2: whose lottery odds stack up where.

1268
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, it's interesting and you brought this up earlier, James, Like, Okay,

1269
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 3: if you try to interpret the vague statement from the NBA,

1270
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 3: you basically sat guys on the wrong night to sit guys.

1271
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but stem back to back, which also why don't

1272
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: It's a slippery slope to me.

1273
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 3: But look at their schedule coming out of the break,

1274
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 3: Wizards twice. I believe you have Dallas as well. There's

1275
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 3: another team in the general kind of tank area that

1276
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: you play here early on. I want to say, it's

1277
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 3: like four of your first six games are against teams

1278
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 3: right now that would draft in the top ten or

1279
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: have top ten lottery odds. So we're about to get

1280
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 3: including a back to back right here out of the

1281
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 3: gate Washington on Thursday Friday here, So we're about to get,

1282
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 3: obviously an answer to it, not only just the Pacers' words,

1283
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 3: but ultimately what their actions are. Considering they are playing

1284
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: teams that are right there with them in the standings

1285
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 3: and clearly in the NBA's eyes. That seems to be bothersome.

1286
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: Right now as we start the second half the season,

1287
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. After the All

1288
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: Star Game, I know it's not exactly half, but third

1289
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: worst record right now. I believe Sacramento is the worst

1290
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: at twelve and forty four. Then you have New Orleans

1291
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: at fifteen and forty one, because they have one more

1292
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: loss than the Pacers two right now, Pacers fifteen and forty.

1293
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: Washington is just fourteen and thirty nine as well. So

1294
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: if you're looking at who's just above them right now,

1295
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: Brooklyn has two fewer losses at fifteen and thirty eight.

1296
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: Everybody else has at least eighteen wins at this point

1297
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: in time, So that's what you're looking at. Down the stretch,

1298
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: you still feel pretty good unless Zubats comes in and

1299
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: just turns it around and they go five hundred the

1300
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: rest of the way, Kevin, you still feel like there's

1301
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: a really good chance that can end up in that

1302
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: bottom four, right.

1303
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 2: I think they're five hundred over there last eighteen Yeah,

1304
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: I think they're nine to nine.

1305
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 3: So if they're four, went to try to end again.

1306
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 3: Numbers are gonna confuse people. How it confuses me.

1307
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Everybody's played different amounts of games right now too.

1308
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 3: Basically, the Pacers are four wins away from the top four.

1309
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 3: Odds going from fifty two percent to thirty two percent.

1310
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 3: I mean that's a notable drop, I mean a twenty

1311
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: percent drop, and odds now, again, there are four wins

1312
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 3: away from it. So they obviously would have to win

1313
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 3: those games, and the teams around them would have to

1314
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: continue to lose those games. So there's no guarantee. But yes,

1315
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 3: to your point. If you know, James just ratted off

1316
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 3: the record of the last month or so, and then

1317
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 3: you throw zoobots into the mix and they start playing

1318
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 3: some of their guys, we'll see how that looks, because

1319
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, in Washington's case, in Utah's case, you know,

1320
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 3: they've ruled dudes out for the year, like Anthony Davis

1321
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 3: done for the year, Jared Jackson junior done for the year.

1322
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 3: The Pacers have yet to do that, So I think

1323
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 3: that's another factor.

1324
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, that's what's going on in the world

1325
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: of the NBA. Let's check everything else down the.

1326

1330
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Slashig Indeed, huge opportunity for the Purdue boiler Makers Tonight.

1331
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Last time I checked Joelnardi's bracketology at ESPN, it's a

1332
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: two line for Purdue. They're going up against the number

1333
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: one team in the nation tonight, Michigan. It'll be at

1334
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Mackie six thirty pm tip time. You can watch it

1335
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: on Peacock, or you can go to the game like

1336
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: James and you'll buy somebody a ticket for that thirteen

1337
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: hundred bucks.

1338
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: You'll take them along, right, Yeah, for sure, you know

1339
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: I got.

1340
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: It all right, But we'll get that coming up later

1341
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: on tonight. Purdue twenty one and four, Michigan twenty four

1342
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: and one. Michigan's big front line, Yakxell Linderborg, Morez Johnson,

1343
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Junior A de Mara. They average between them almost twenty

1344
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: two rebounds a game. They shoot the ball well from

1345
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: three point range. They have a multitude of defenses they'll

1346
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: throw at you. From Dusty May. What's the key to

1347
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: success Kevin Bowen for the Purdue boiler Makers tonight.

1348
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 3: Well, certainly turnovers. You know, if you look at that

1349
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 3: Orion game about a week and a half ago, such

1350
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 3: a close game with a bunch of turnovers there, and

1351
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 3: then Michigan does create a lot of second chance opportunities

1352
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 3: with that size, So you know, Purdue can they counter that?

1353
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 3: You know, is there a magical three point number Wiscontinent.

1354
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 3: I believe it was fifteen threes they hit against Michigan

1355
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 3: to pull off that upset. You know, we're looking at

1356
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 3: a dozen or so for Purdue tonight inside of that building.

1357
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 3: And because that is a little contrasting in styles, Purdue

1358
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 3: actually is a smaller team in this matchup here, So

1359
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 3: you know, how does that play against a Michigan team

1360
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 3: that to be fair, while they do start those three

1361
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 3: big guys, they do play a lot of different lineups.

1362
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: For whatever it's worth. Right now on the ESPN bracketology chart,

1363
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Purdue is on the two to two line right now

1364
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: in the West and Michigan sitting there with the number

1365
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: one overall seed. They are in the Midwest at this

1366
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: point in time, but still a lot of basketball to

1367
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: be played between here and the NCAA turn. Reminded, the

1368
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: Final Four happens right here in Indianapolis coming up just

1369
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: what over about five and a half six weeks away.

1370
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Also tonight, we will be keeping an eye on what's

1371
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: happening at the Olympics. Who will Team USA be playing next?

1372
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: We will know a little bit later on today. Sweden

1373
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: taking on Lotvia. I remember the Americans played Latvia in

1374
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: their group and just steamrolled them at the beginning of

1375
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: the tournament. But that's what's going on as far as

1376
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: ice hockey is concerned for the men. As far as

1377
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: the women are concerned, they will be taking on Team

1378
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Canada Kevin Thursday for the gold medal and Team USA.

1379
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: I heard a couple of other players last night saying

1380
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: this is the best team they've ever had. They might

1381
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: need it because Canada is a terrific team as well.

1382
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: What is it like, three hundred and thirty some minutes

1383
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 3: in a row they haven't allowed a goal, which is

1384
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 3: just I mean, you watch hockey all the time. I mean,

1385
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 3: puck's just randomly flying to the net.

1386
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: There.

1387
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 3: So dominant, to say the least.

1388
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 8: There.

1389
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 3: They're coached by a Notre Dame grad. By the way,

1390
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 3: John Robleski is their coach there.

1391
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: So man, Mike off, everything, isn't that?

1392
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 3: Do you want to hear the local connections or not?

1393
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? I respect him, I got it, I got.

1394
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 4: It my map out.

1395
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 3: Go ahead, James. You can cheer about the fighting line

1396
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 3: and what they did on Sunday. You do deserve that.

1397
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, were you chirping on social I

1398
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 3: didn't see it, did you did.

1399
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 2: You didn't chirp too much because I figured, hey, I

1400
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 2: want you to listen to the show come Tuesday, so

1401
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to turn anybody away too much. But

1402
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: I think the biggest difference in all serious was just

1403
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 2: the glass. I thought both teams executed fairly well on offense,

1404
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 2: but again, Illinois just gave themselves so many more chances

1405
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: by grabbing so many offense. Everybody, I think one possession,

1406
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 2: nobody got four or five in a row. And then

1407
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: on top of that, Keith Wogler looked very good. And

1408
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 2: then on the flip side, you know, Lamar Wilkerson continues

1409
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,479
Speaker 2: to show why he should be on an All Big

1410
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 2: Ten team, perhaps the first team.

1411
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 3: He could use some help right now.

1412
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I certainly the biggest thing I watched, I don't know,

1413
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: five eight minutes. I didn't watch a ton of it,

1414
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: but it sure seemed like Illinois is way more athletic

1415
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: than Indiana. Just the part that I watch, probably beginning

1416
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: of the second half till about the second or third

1417
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: media time out, They're just quicker, more physical, more athletic.

1418
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 2: I'll take it, because that was how we would describe

1419
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 2: the Indiana football team, crushing.

1420
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 4: Illinois and a.

1421
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think it was worse than that if you

1422
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 2: put him up side by side.

1423
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: All right, National Football League started to make some noise

1424
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: yesterday the Dolphins released edge rusher Bradley Chubb wide receiver

1425
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. For those just joining us, we had talked

1426
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: about this in the last hour, but Kevin Bowen, how

1427
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: interested scale one to ten, should the Colts be on

1428
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 1: edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

1429
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you definitely look into it. You know,

1430
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 3: as James pointed out, you know, age wise doesn't necessarily

1431
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 3: satisfy getting that much younger. I believe he's about to

1432
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 3: be thirty, yeah, years old. But still you can't be

1433
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 3: that shoosy when it comes to free agency. You know,

1434
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 3: I've said before and I'll say it to here in

1435
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks of Daffa away with the

1436
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 3: Chargers as a guy that I think you should look

1437
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 3: into a little bit younger on that aspect of that.

1438
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 3: But honestly, the Colts could probably use multiple edge rushers,

1439
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 3: you know when you think about their free agency class here,

1440
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 3: So we'll see. That's what this time of year is about,

1441
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 3: you know, mid to late February, you see veterans get cut.

1442
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 3: You see a lot of these kind of cap savings moves.

1443
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 3: And you know, we did have several new gms across

1444
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 3: the league, and typically that's where you do see retooling

1445
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 3: of rosters here, so be curious what exactly that looks

1446
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 3: like here over the next few weeks.

1447
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: All right, and of course coming up later on this

1448
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: week the NBA resumes, Indiana and Washington will play back

1449
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: to back games in Washington. Those James are the bottom

1450
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: two teams in the Eastern Conference as we wait to

1451
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: see who will drop to the bottom of the standings

1452
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. How do the Pacers

1453
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: play that in the wake of the one hundred thousand

1454
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: dollars fine from the NBA.

1455
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be interesting to see, for sure.

1456
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 2: I want to know, Hey, how close is Vitza Zubats

1457
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 2: to playing basketball for the Pacers and making his debut

1458
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 2: for this franchise, considering he's had this time off to

1459
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 2: perhaps get his ankle a little bit closer to playing?

1460
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: All right, anything else you guys want to throw in

1461
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: before we had to break?

1462
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 4: I think I'm good.

1463
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Well, I would say, let's bring up Notre Dame basketball.

1464
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 3: But I'm afraid we're gonna lose some more listeners here.

1465
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 3: Jeff seems to bring them up after every loss. I

1466
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 3: don't hear you bringing them up after a dominant win.

1467
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: How how many days ago?

1468
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 8: One?

1469
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 3: Now it's our first show since we.

1470
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 4: Got some fighting studio folks.

1471
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Jellous with the with the results.

1472
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 3: Cole Serta, one of the best shooters in college basketball

1473
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 3: hitting threes from Elkhart there, shout out he should get

1474
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 3: an nil with one of those mobile home companies there.

1475
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 3: Great win over a horrific Georgia Tech team, much needed

1476
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 3: for the Irish without Jalen Harrelson's brand ankle didn't play.

1477
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: You did watch that game, right?

1478
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 3: Of course it's a pope Catholic.

1479
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, just checking to make sure, all right. We got

1480
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the goats of the week coming up next, it's the

01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 4: The graphs absolutely love her.

1487
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,840

01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: and a vibe as you start your Tuesday. Almost sixty

1493
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: degrees expected for a high today, James, I'll take that

1494
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: after the last couple of weeks. It's been trending that

1495
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: way the last few days. But certainly it's sunny outside,

1496
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 1: skies are blue looking forward to it, so uh take

1497
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: advantage of that. In the meantime, Mark Dyton, I believe

1498
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: it's time to reflect on the week that was, is

1499
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: it not? Who is the goat?

1500
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 3: I'd poet you all that I was the greatest of

1501
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 3: all time?

1502
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Short here's Michael at the filine. I shot on em all.

1503
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 3: That's any day.

1504
01:08:55,560 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 6: That's why he's the goat or goat?

1505
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: This guy sucks of the week all right. Time to

1506
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: look at the best and the worst of the past

1507
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: seven days or so. We are doing it a little

1508
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: bit late this week on a Tuesday, but we will

1509
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: start with you, Kevin Bowen, who's your good go to

1510
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,680
Speaker 1: the week? Let's start positively.

1511
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 3: Tell shout out to the legend that is Chris paul

1512
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if we'll have many point guards moving

1513
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 3: forward stylistically play like Chris Paul and have a career

1514
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 3: as long as he's had. I know, people nit pick

1515
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 3: some of it. Maybe he's not the most beloved.

1516
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 4: Star player, certainly not.

1517
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 3: But you talk about second all time and assists behind

1518
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd? What second all time and steals behind? John Stockton?

1519
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 3: I remember being This shows you how old Chris Paul is.

1520
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 3: I remember being I guess I would have been a

1521
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 3: junior I think in junior high and watching an ESPN

1522
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 3: SEGM meant where Chris Paul scored sixty one points in

1523
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 3: high school in honor of his grandfather who had tragically

1524
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 3: been murdered earlier that year. And I was always struck

1525
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 3: by him going to Wake Forest. You know, they was

1526
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 3: kind of you know, wasn't the big school necessarily to

1527
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 3: go to there? So hell of a career for point God?

1528
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 3: Is that what some people call Chris Paul?

1529
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 8: There?

1530
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 3: So shout out to him. I know, again, not a

1531
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 3: very beloved star, but I thought, like.

1532
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 2: One quick thing, John Stockton, I know you said, Jason Kidd,

1533
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 2: he's first and assists by a mota then yeah, and

1534
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 2: then on top of that that especially you're talking about

1535
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 2: that ESPN round, Chris Paul. He got to sixty one,

1536
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 2: but it was an a one and then he could

1537
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 2: have made the free throw and he missed it on

1538
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: purpose to his grandfather, Yeah, and got so out of

1539
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 2: the game. So yeah, think about sixty one points in

1540
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 2: a high school game. High school games are thirty two minutes.

1541
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: That's an NBA player in the making. If you ever

1542
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 2: see somebody do that.

1543
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: Does this mean we've seen the last of Cliff Paul?

1544
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 2: Perhaps, I don't know a little longer, you know, career

1545
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,879
Speaker 2: runway if you're an actor versus being I guess an athlete.

1546
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: All right, Mark Dykton, who is your good goat of

1547
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: the week?

1548
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 5: Robert Devall actor we lost the other day. Just an

1549
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 5: all time generational talent, such legendary roles as The Godfather movies,

1550
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 5: Apocalypse Now, so many great roles. So he passed away

1551
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 5: at the age of ninety five. So a hat tip

1552
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 5: to Robert Devall. Lots of iconic roles that he played.

1553
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 5: Particular favorite that you had probably the Godfather movies.

1554
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm assuming that has to be one of

1555
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 3: the top ones for me.

1556
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was so good in each and everything you

1557
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:43,480
Speaker 1: ever did. Apocalypse Now he was amazing in and even

1558
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: when he was working with Tom Cruise on that Days

1559
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: of Thunder, I thought he was great in that too.

1560
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: He's good at anything, all right, James Boyd good go

1561
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:52,880

01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 2: I'll roll with Lola Lampley, the star player at Lawrence

1563
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 2: Central McDonald's all American. The drive to Greencastle New Gym

1564
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 2: for me to check her out against Pike, and they

1565
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: get the dub. They're headed to semi State and they'd

1566
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: actually lost and got blown out by Pike earlier in

1567
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 2: the season, so to bounce back and get the victory and.

1568
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 4: Regionals is a big deal.

1569
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 2: And boy, she looked like someone who is obviously a

1570
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 2: very good player and gonna be playing college basketball next year.

1571
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 2: But in those door dying moments, I thought she was

1572
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 2: a difference a lot of you know, nice offensive moves,

1573
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 2: great defensive plays as well, and that gym was rocking.

1574
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 4: I love high school basketball.

1575
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, what'd you think of the gym

1576
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: and all.

1577
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 3: It was cool.

1578
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: They have a nice like. I guess they have like

1579
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 2: a little like. It's not attached to the high school.

1580
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's like their own little arena and

1581
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 2: it's very nice. I was very impressed. But goes to

1582
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 2: show how much they love basketball Indiana because I've been

1583
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 2: to a lot of gyms and a lot of them

1584
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 2: are really cool to have stories.

1585
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 4: And stuff like that.

1586
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay with my theme today. I'm very excited

1587
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: because we got the knockout round of the Olympic Hockey

1588
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Tournament starting today. You win or go home. They got

1589
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: some qualifying. I know the USA has a buy, Canada's

1590
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: got a buy today. But when you see Canada again,

1591
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: have you guys heard of maclan Celebrini at all?

1592
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 4: I have not.

1593
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Maclan Celebrini is a member of the Canadian hockey team.

1594
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: Mark any idea what makes maclan Celebrini a little bit special? No,

1595
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: He's nineteen years old and he currently is tied for

1596
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the lead in goals at this Olympic Hockey Tournament. He's

1597
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: just nineteen. He's from North Vancouver, British Columbia. He's the

1598
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,759
Speaker 1: youngest player to have scored a goal for Team Canada.

1599
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: Did that right out at a gate. But nineteen, he's

1600
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: not even twenty. He won't even be twenty for a

1601
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,759
Speaker 1: while yet. And he's tied for the lead in goals

1602
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: scoring at the Olympics with the greatest players on the

1603
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: planet playing. I find that fascinating.

1604
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 3: I find it sacriligious. So you'd go with the goat

1605
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 3: for the Canadians when we're supposed to hate them. Here

1606
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 3: coming up in a hockey match in the game, USA,

1607
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 3: say Jersey, for God's sake, I.

1608
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Just I've been watching, I've been what you got to

1609
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 1: give credit? Where credits due respect? Man, he's nineteen and

1610
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: he's playing with all the big boys right now.

1611
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 5: Citizenship test for Jeff Please maple syrup in your backpack.

1612
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 3: Zero credit from me. The negative goat of the week

1613
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 3: is a Canadian because I am an American. I'm gonna

1614
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 3: address that. Mark Kennedy, the man who cheated in curling.

1615
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 3: Did you guys see this.

1616
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,799
Speaker 1: Yes, with the little finger touch, that was a lot.

1617
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 3: Of finger touch, you know, I must say so myself,

1618
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 3: all of a sudden touching the rock aka the curling

1619
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 3: rock there. First off, believe forty pounds that cannot believe.

1620
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 3: We don't have cameras up there at the starting line

1621
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 3: to officiate this better. Our officials are at the end

1622
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 3: of the whatever shuffle board that you call there, and

1623
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 3: then he turned to the Swedish guy and got into

1624
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 3: it a little bit with him, chirping at him. And

1625
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 3: yet the cheaters the Canadians moved on. And if the

1626
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 3: playoffs started this morning, this was before these matches, the

1627
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 3: United States would be playing the Canadians, and Jeff would

1628
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 3: probably cheer for Canada.

1629
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I will not be cheering for any

1630
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:01,560
Speaker 1: Canadian when they played the United.

1631
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 3: So Mark Kennedy can kiss my ass the Canadian curler

1632
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 3: that touched the stone, You say, kiss my ass? A

1633
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 3: don't you double touch?

1634
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Thank you?

1635
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 3: Mark?

1636
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: I love it.

1637
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 3: Mark Dyton, What do you got All Star Saturday Night?

1638
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 5: I used to look very forward to that on the

1639
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 5: NBA All Star Weekend. Didn't watch a second of it.

1640
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 5: Woke up the next morning like, let me see, like

1641
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 5: what the slam Dunk contest was? Oh boy, that was

1642
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 5: not very good at all. From what I saw. Kashaw

1643
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 5: Johnson of the Miami Heat ended up winning. It was

1644
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 5: not impressive. I feel like we say this every year,

1645
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 5: we need that the slam Dunk contest has jumped the shark.

1646
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 5: That might be the case these days because my nephew,

1647
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 5: who's younger, I was like, what's your favorite dunk contest

1648
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 5: and he said it's when Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin

1649
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 5: were playing. And I'm like, that's probably the last big

1650
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 5: stars that were in the Slam Dunk Contest and he's

1651
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 5: like fifteen right now?

1652
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: Is that when Blake Griffin like jumped over the Kia

1653
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: or something.

1654
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,560
Speaker 5: Like that, Dwight Howard did the super Man, did the

1655
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 5: Giant Rim and all that stuff. I'm like, we have

1656
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 5: jumped the shark on the Slam Dunk Contest. So the

1657
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,799
Speaker 5: highlights were not very there were low lights. Quite honestly,

1658
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 5: didn't care for it, and I was disappointed because I

1659
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 5: used to look forward to Saturday Night with dv Arts.

1660
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 5: I could watch it again and it is just falling

1661
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 5: off the cliff lately.

1662
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Did you see all the empty seats in there too?

1663
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:20,799
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1664
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, they had the same issue with they have like

1665
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 5: the LED lighting going on and stuff, so it looks

1666
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 5: like a lot of people are there. But then because

1667
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 5: the Royal Rumble did that as well, and then it

1668
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 5: was like, oh, actually, like yeah, no, those are empty seats.

1669
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: You just can't tell because of the LED lighting.

1670
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Who you met at this week?

1671
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,759
Speaker 2: James yeah, I think Mark, we were on the same page.

1672
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 2: I was initially going to go with my bad go

1673
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 2: being Jason Richardson and some of Jason Richardson having a

1674
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 2: horrific fall in the slam Dune contest. He's fine, by

1675
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 2: the way, which is why one reason I brought it up.

1676
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 2: But that was pretty bad. But it's a pivot. I'll

1677
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 2: go with Adam Silver. I thought his like kind of

1678
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 2: the State of the Union address overall Star Weekend fell flat.

1679
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 2: He was talking about using AI technology in the NBA,

1680
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 2: how to hyper personized the viewing experience, and I'm like, wait,

1681
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:02,719
Speaker 2: wait a second.

1682
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 4: You are a basketball league. Can you make sure that

1683
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 4: basketball is good.

1684
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 2: In fair or you know, the tanking stuff that we

1685
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 2: talk about and rest and just the quality of the

1686
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 2: games this time of the year.

1687
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 4: Focus on that.

1688
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes when I hear him speak, it's

1689
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 2: in the business world, in the tech world, more so

1690
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 2: than the actual game. And I'm like, it's like going

1691
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 2: to a hot dog stand. They're trying to sell you

1692
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 2: a salmon, and it's like, wait a second, I didn't

1693
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 2: even ask for all that. Just make the games matter.

1694
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 2: Figure that out. So I'm a little annoyed with a

1695
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 2: lot of the updates that he's given as of late.

1696
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 2: And the last thing I'll say is even asking him, hey,

1697
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 2: do you have an update on the Kawhi Leonard investigation?

1698
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 2: They circumvent the cap or not? When it comes to

1699
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 2: La Clippers, He's got nothing. I'm like, all right, man, Like,

1700
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: what are you guys doing besides just fighting teams for tanking?

1701
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 4: What else are you doing? And it seems like nothing

1702
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 4: or things that we don't want?

1703
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: All right?

1704
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 8: You want?

1705
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 1: You want a cheating scandal from the Olympics, Kevin, You

1706
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,520
Speaker 1: want something that will raise the eyebrows?

1707
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you got?

1708
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: I got? There are reports now that there are some

1709
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 1: men in the ski jumping competition that are always looking

1710
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 1: for an advantage to help, you, you know, create more drag,

1711
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: more friction, to stay up in the air a little

1712
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: bit longer. I don't know if you guys heard about this,

1713
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:21,560
Speaker 1: but some male ski jumpers may have used some hyluronic

1714
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:27,839
Speaker 1: acid injections to temporarily enlarge certain parts of their body

1715
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: that only men have.

1716
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 3: Sounds like a JMV endorsement to gain a.

1717
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,839
Speaker 1: Suit size advantage, Although officials call it a wild rumor,

1718
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,679
Speaker 1: but this was a big story over the last couple

1719
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: of days, whether or not there are guys actually injecting

1720
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: themselves there to create more drag and stay up in

1721
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: the air just a fraction of a second longer.

1722
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 3: I think staying up in the air is a dream

1723
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 3: for a lot of people. So I don't know if

1724
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go judging too hard here.

1725
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: It was long, but it was deep and wide. People excited.

1726
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: That's Ellie day La Cruz. We're talking about, right, lack marks.

1727
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 3: Moved on from the daddy comments.

1728
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: This is apparently a common medical and cosmetic filler used

1729
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: for skin joints and lips. They said it's generally safe

1730
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: when used properly temporarily. It lasts about eight weeks to

1731
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: six months, can be dissolved later on if needed. Can

1732
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: you imagine wanting to win a metal so bad that

1733
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: you'd have an injection there?

1734
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 4: No, I can't.

1735
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 2: Not Olympic athlete, and I don't know the lengths I

1736
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 2: will go to go through to you know.

1737
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 3: Be an Olympics every four years? Come on?

1738
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 4: Is that what they tell you?

1739
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: The athletes US ski jumpers have dismissed the practice, citing

1740
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the risks and minimal performance gain. But it's apparently out

1741
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:47,839
Speaker 1: there right there. It can be done.

1742
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it can be doesn't mean I want it to happen.

1743
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 1: There you go, just when you think you've seen it all.

1744
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: People will do anything for an edge.

1745
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 3: And they walk in the Olympic Village and they get

1746
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 3: the last laugh. That's probably balls empty.

1747
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 4: What am I supposed to do?

1748
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: Now? All right? Coming up a little bit later on

1749
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 1: top of the hour, we'll talk to Rob Blackman. We've

1750
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: got a big Purdue mission game a little bit later

1751
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: on tonight, we'll talk a little bit more about the

1752
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: week ahead in the National Football League. We could see

1753
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of names out there on the open market.

1754
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: Who could we be looking at? That's next ninety three,

1755
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: five and seven five.

1756
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 6: You're listening to a fan morning show and on sports

1757
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 6: Radio ninety and.

1758
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: It's getting me crunch time now. As teams can start

1759
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: to make some moves towards what they want to do

1760
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: with their teams in the National Football League through the offseason,

1761
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: you're seeing guys start to get released now, and you know,

1762
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: there's so many it's almost like looking at the NBA

1763
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: salary cap anymore. Kevin. There are so many rules for

1764
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: what dates you can really guys win, and who's restricted

1765
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: and not restricted and how that works, and you know

1766
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: whether or not you keep them till June first, and

1767
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: all those kinds of things. But from just a kind

1768
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: of a free agency for dummies, with Miami doing the

1769
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: things they did yesterday, what do you expect to see

1770
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: in the National Football League heading up to the Combine?

1771
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 3: Well, I guess simplify it for the Colts. Today starts

1772
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 3: a two week window when you can apply the franchise

1773
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 3: tag any player that is a free agent. To me,

1774
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 3: Alec Pearson Daniel Jones would be the debatable candidates. I'm

1775
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 3: probably more of an Alec Pearson Daniel Jones. So again,

1776
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 3: it's a two week window. Next week is the Combine.

1777
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 3: You know, nothing really official happens at the combine from

1778
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 3: a roster standpoint, other than tons of conversations behind the

1779
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 3: scenes between you know, your your GM, your player personnel

1780
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 3: people and agents, and then free agency I believe is

1781
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 3: three weeks from tomorrow I think is the official start

1782
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 3: date on that, And James refresh me if I'm wrong here.

1783
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 3: Pittman got the franchise tag late in the two week window,

1784
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly. A couple of years ago, and

1785
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 3: then they got an extension done with him before the

1786
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 3: league year started, right.

1787
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Yes, he was tagged very late into the process. You

1788
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 2: know deadlines, it spur action. So I want to say

1789
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 2: we were up against right up against maybe that four

1790
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 2: pm deadline to tag him or not, and then they

1791
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 2: came out that they had franchise tagged them and then

1792
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 2: within I believe we were going it's like a weekend

1793
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 2: or something. By like that Monday they had its signed him.

1794
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 3: So to do To be clear, no, you have I

1795
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 3: think until I don't know if the rules are the same,

1796
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 3: I should double check this. I believe you have until

1797
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 3: July to try and work out an extension like T. T.

1798
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 3: Higgins for the Bengals was one that fell into this

1799
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 3: category I think last year. So if the Colts tag

1800
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce, they haven't until July try and get a

1801
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 3: long term deal done with him. But those are things

1802
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 3: I'd be watching, you know again, in the next two weeks,

1803
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 3: do you tag Alec Pierce? Tagging him would guarantee him

1804
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 3: a one year, twenty eight million dollar deal and then

1805
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 3: you would have what five months something like that, four

1806
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 3: months to try and get a long term deal done.

1807
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing that'll be fascinating to me in

1808
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: the secondary, Like, I'm a fan of Nick Cross, but

1809
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: they're already paying fifteen million dollars a year for cam

1810
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: buying them. We're waiting to find out what's going to

1811
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: happen with Mooney Ward. Is there enough money to keep

1812
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,520
Speaker 1: him as he goes into free agency? Nick Cross?

1813
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 2: I think there is, but you probably have to do

1814
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 2: some tweaking with the rest of your roster. But you

1815
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 2: make a good point, Jeff. You invested so much financially

1816
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 2: in that secondary already with like you said, Ward, to

1817
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 2: keep in mind anymore. Right now it's on your team

1818
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 2: as well, cam buying them. You know, Sauce Gardner forgot

1819
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 2: to mention him. Those are all guys on lucrative contracts.

1820
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 2: So is it worth it to bring Nick crossback? Perhaps?

1821
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 2: But I also wonder you all, with these conversations that

1822
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 2: we're having here on the show, what are they like

1823
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 2: over at colds headquarters when you're trying to decide, Okay,

1824
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 2: well we said we were close to being a very

1825
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 2: good team last year. How much do we say, Okay,

1826
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 2: we'll bite the bullet, We'll do whatever it takes. Financially

1827
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 2: to make sure our team is in the best position

1828
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 2: possible for this upcoming year.

1829
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 4: And I get that.

1830
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 2: In the past, Chris Ballot has said, Hey, I don't

1831
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 2: want to hamstream this franchise. I don't want to be

1832
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 2: the guy that hurts this team long term. But how

1833
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 2: all in are you after making some pretty all in

1834
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:30,720
Speaker 2: moves last year?

1835
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Nick Cross, to your guys point, I

1836
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 3: think it's the hardest free agent to debate this year

1837
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 3: for the Colts. On one level, he's young, he's an

1838
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:41,839
Speaker 3: as sending player, and he's one of the few defensive

1839
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 3: draft picks. I think in recent years you have definitely

1840
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 3: hit on so all of that checks out. Having said

1841
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 3: that you just paid cam Bin them, find me NFL

1842
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 3: teams that are paying safeties. I say that plurally, multiple

1843
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 3: safeties major money. You don't have a lot of that,

1844
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 3: especially when the Colts have got to pay other guys

1845
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 3: so much more, and the Colts don't really have a

1846
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 3: lot of great rookie contract players. They don't have a

1847
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 3: lot of good, young, cheap players. I guess this is

1848
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 3: the easiest way to put it, so that is also

1849
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 3: playing into that. But then I look at the safety

1850
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 3: depth chart, and I think to myself, oh boy, there's

1851
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 3: no Jalen Travis sitting there at safety. To go back

1852
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:22,560
Speaker 3: to our Braiden Smith conversation from earlier, you know, with

1853
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 3: Braidon Smith at right tackle, you have a rookie in

1854
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Travis who you feel like you could pass the

1855
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 3: torch to rather seamlessly, makes it probably too easy, but

1856
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 3: you feel somewhat confident in that. At safety. You know,

1857
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 3: if you ask the common Colts fan to name you

1858
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 3: the backup safety right now, hell, I struggle to name

1859
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 3: who the backup safety is very good point. So I

1860
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 3: think that's where Cross is such a difficult decision in

1861
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 3: how you view him in terms of giving him a

1862
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 3: second contract.

1863
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in a minute, we got basketball

1864
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: at Mackew tonight, Big one, number one Michigan and Purdue

1865
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: starts at six thirty. Rob Blackman stops boted talk all

1866
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: things Boilers with this next on ninety three five and

1867
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: one oh seven five.

1868
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 8: Honey, you are.

1869
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 6: Listening to a fan morning show on sports Radio ninety

1870
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 6: three to five and one oh seven five The Fan.

1871
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: It's always game day at ninety three five, one oh

1872
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 1: seven five The Fan. But a particularly intriguing game day

1873
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: or game night tonight Purdue at home Mackie at six thirty,

1874
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: they'll be taking on number one ranked Michigan. Looking forward

1875
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: to that one, and the voice of the Purdue boiler

1876
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: Makers joins us now in the pay Less Liquors hotline.

1877
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, Rob Blackman. How much fun is it to

1878
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: wake up in a morning and have a game like

1879
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: that to look forward to tonight?

1880
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1881
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 8: And we had a nice little run here for Purdue

1882
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 8: at Nebraska, who is number seven last week, and then

1883
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 8: you get to play number one tonight at home, so

1884
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 8: then you have Indiana coming in on Friday.

1885
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 7: So it is.

1886
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 8: It has been a nice little stretch of games that

1887
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 8: certainly peaked one's interests, that's for sure.

1888
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 3: Rob. As always, we thank you for the time. The

1889
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 3: one team to beat Michigan this year was Wisconsin. They

1890
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 3: hit fifteen threes in that game. You think the number

1891
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 3: tonight for Purdue has got to be north of a dozen.

1892
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 8: I certainly think if it's not, you're going to put

1893
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 8: yourself in a really difficult situation. Although I do feel

1894
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,599
Speaker 8: a little bit more comfortable. I mentioned that Nebraska game

1895
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,799
Speaker 8: from last week. You know, Produca got forty six threes

1896
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 8: in that game. Not only was that a school record,

1897
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 8: it was a school record by a mile. The previous

1898
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,679
Speaker 8: high had been thirty six. I did joke with coach

1899
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 8: Painter the next pregame show preparing for Iowa if that

1900
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 8: was the new look for the Makers, and he said, no, no,

1901
01:27:56,439 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 8: that was just a matter of circumstance. But that being said,

1902
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 8: certainly appears as if and then we saw the same

1903
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 8: thing against Iowa Saturday that you know, you got to

1904
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 8: have time and Purdue it attempted more threes than two.

1905
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 8: So I guess what I'm saying is it appears that

1906
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 8: Purdue is not going to be bashful about shooting the

1907
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 8: three down, you know, through the through the rest of

1908
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,919
Speaker 8: this season, from here to the finish line. So hopefully

1909
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 8: that's a good sign, and more importantly, hopefully produe's making

1910
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 8: those three point shots. You know, Purdue has only been

1911
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 8: thirty six percent from three in the Big Ten games,

1912
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 8: which which is a good percentage, but certainly not where

1913
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 8: I think they thought they would be. I think Matt

1914
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 8: Painter would openly tell you that this team's probably a

1915
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 8: thirty nine to forty percent three point shooting team across

1916
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 8: the board. So I know this is a long winded

1917
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 8: way of saying that I agree with you, but yeah,

1918
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 8: I think a dozen or more probably is what it

1919
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:53,160
Speaker 8: will take against a team like Michigan, who's look, they're

1920
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 8: so good, you know, the great irony, I think, and

1921
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 8: the reason why the ranked number one. You look at

1922
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 8: their offensive numbers, you know, in the country, and scoring

1923
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 8: I think six or seventh in the country, field goal percentage,

1924
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 8: top ten in the country, rebound margin, which are all

1925
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 8: great numbers offensively, but it's defensively actually where they're at

1926
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,919
Speaker 8: their best. They're more than the nation and adjusted defensive

1927
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 8: defensive efficiency, So it will be very difficult if you

1928
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 8: are not making three point shots tonight. Maybe I should

1929
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 8: just put it that way and leave it at that.

1930
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 2: Rob when you look at Purdue overall, and it's kind

1931
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 2: of crazy because you know, a couple of weeks ago,

1932
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 2: the sky's falling. You felt like a little bit with

1933
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,559
Speaker 2: with Purdue at least some of the you know, narratives

1934
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 2: I saw when it came from the national media. But

1935
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 2: there are twenty one and four. So I don't want

1936
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 2: to dismiss the great season they're having. But throughout this

1937
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 2: four game winning streak. How have you seen Braden Smith

1938
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 2: help right the ship? And I say that because I

1939
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 2: think he's done it in a couple of different ways,

1940
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 2: whether it be you know, scoring, or the last few

1941
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 2: games in particular, really assisting and setting other guys up.

1942
01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1943
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 8: Look at the just you know point, he only took

1944
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 8: five shots in that game Saturday against Iowa, played thirty

1945
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:07,879
Speaker 8: six minutes, thirty six minutes plus, only took five shots,

1946
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 8: but still had seven rebounds. And you mentioned the assist

1947
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 8: James said, the twelve assists. Literally, it's just been a

1948
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 8: matter of, hey, I'm going to have to do what

1949
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 8: it takes to help this team win, which is what

1950
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 8: you would expect from an All American point guard. Yes,

1951
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 8: I mean that's that's what you would hope you get

1952
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 8: from the guy that was preseason Big Ten Player of

1953
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 8: the Year. And it's been interesting because, you know, even

1954
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 8: though he's still i think eight point eight or eight

1955
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 8: point nine assists per game, the assist numbers have actually

1956
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 8: come down a little bit, not a major, not majorly,

1957
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,360
Speaker 8: maybe by you know, two to three tenths of a

1958
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 8: percentage point, but they have come down because he's been

1959
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 8: asked to score a little bit more to help his

1960
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 8: team win. In this four game winning streak, with the

1961
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 8: exception of Saturday, where the scoring wasn't heated because Purdue

1962
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 8: was getting contributions from everyone else. The Saturday back box

1963
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 8: score gentlemen really had me intrigued because and I went

1964
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,760
Speaker 8: back and looked at it, and I didn't really pick

1965
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 8: up on it during the game, and I wish I

1966
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 8: should have. But everyone on the team except for Oscar

1967
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,759
Speaker 8: Cluff attempted at least five shots in the game, and CJ.

1968
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 8: Cox took the most field goal attempts at ten. Everyone

1969
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 8: that played scored. It was a very balanced offensive attack, right.

1970
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 7: It wasn't like one.

1971
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 8: Guy took twenty three shots and everyone else just kind

1972
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 8: of stood around and watched. Purdue was very balanced. And

1973
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 8: that's when Purdue's at its best, certainly, and that's when

1974
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 8: Braden Smith, I think, just simply understands that, hey, this

1975
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 8: is a game where quite frankly, I have a number

1976
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 8: of guys around me that can score the ball. You know,

1977
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 8: this is their day, so I can be more of

1978
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 8: a facilitators. And that's certainly what he did Saturday. But again,

1979
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 8: across the board, you look at his numbers, scoring has

1980
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 8: come up a little bit as system gone down ever

1981
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 8: so slightly, only because during this streak scoring has been

1982
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 8: needed more from him, with the exception again of that

1983
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,320
Speaker 8: game Saturday. So a tip of the cap to him

1984
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 8: for understanding the situation game by game and knowing what

1985
01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 8: Purdue needs from him to help them win.

1986
01:31:59,320 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 4: We have Rob Bla.

1987
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 2: I've been here on these airweb tonas Brad Smith has

1988
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 2: washed you know. The assist numbers are down this year,

1989
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 2: and I'm joking. I appreciate the analysis there and the insight.

1990
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 2: I do want to follow up really quickly though we

1991
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 2: talked earlier last time. I think we spoke to you

1992
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 2: Rob about Trey Kaufman Wren in the season eighties having

1993
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,480
Speaker 2: and I think sometimes you look at a player statistically

1994
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 2: and say, oh, he's not having the same year as

1995
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,640
Speaker 2: he had last year. Well yeah, Oscar Cluff is a

1996
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:27,759
Speaker 2: big dude literally and figuratively to add to this team.

1997
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 2: But how have you seen him navigate this season and

1998
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: his role, especially as of late, because I think that

1999
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 2: the rebounding has really stuck out to me, and you

2000
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 2: talked about getting to do or having to do whatever

2001
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,639
Speaker 2: it takes to win. I think that he's embraced at

2002
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:42,759
Speaker 2: with that role, just crushing the glass.

2003
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean thirty one rebounds over the last two games.

2004
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 8: We jokingly said on the radio in that Nebraska game

2005
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 8: that he was very Dennis Rodman like, and then of

2006
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 8: course told everyone who's under the age of thirty five

2007
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 8: to go look up who Dennis Rodman is.

2008
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 7: I mean.

2009
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:02,680
Speaker 8: And I know I told you this last time, so

2010
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 8: I apologize for repeating myself. But the one thing Trey

2011
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 8: has been pretty adamant about all season is that this

2012
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 8: is his fourth year playing for Purdue, and he's played

2013
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 8: in four different roles. His role has never been the

2014
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 8: same in any of the four years, and that includes

2015
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:18,719
Speaker 8: this year trying to learn to play alongside Oscar Cluff.

2016
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 8: And while I have not asked him this, so I'm

2017
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 8: speaking for him, which is not fair to him, but

2018
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 8: it certainly appears to me that he is, at least

2019
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 8: here in the last I don't know, two weeks or so,

2020
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,719
Speaker 8: has just made up his mind that he is literally

2021
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 8: going to get every rebound humanly possible and if the

2022
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 8: scoring comes along with that, great, but he's going to

2023
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 8: dominate the boards and that can be the role where

2024
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 8: he can really flourish it. You know, he had twelve

2025
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,880
Speaker 8: points against Iowa on Saturday on eight shots. You know,

2026
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 8: it's not like he's out there hunting shots, which is

2027
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 8: again a real testament to him. This is a guy

2028
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 8: that last year had nineteen nineteen twenty point games. This

2029
01:33:56,920 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 8: year he's had one twenty point game. So one would think,

2030
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,439
Speaker 8: you know, your natural reaction to be would would be

2031
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 8: frustrated that you're not scoring as much as you did

2032
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 8: a year ago, and that you would want to be

2033
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:08,639
Speaker 8: a guy that, for lack of a better term, would

2034
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 8: be a bit of a ball halg and would hunt

2035
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 8: shots when maybe it wouldn't be best for the team.

2036
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 8: That has not been the case for Trey. The Nebraska game,

2037
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 8: he had six points. I think he took four shots.

2038
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 8: So it's not as if he's made it all about him,

2039
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 8: especially offensively, but he has made it all about him

2040
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 8: when it comes to rebounding, and man, what a shot

2041
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:29,920
Speaker 8: in the arm that has been. Because even you know,

2042
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 8: going into the Nebraska game, during the pregame interview with

2043
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,639
Speaker 8: coach Painter, one thing he talked about was this team

2044
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 8: has to be better rebounding. They just do. You can't,

2045
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 8: you know, that's the reason you went out and got

2046
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 8: an Oscar club. That's the reason you're excited about you.

2047
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,839
Speaker 8: You finally have a healthy Daniel Jacobson. But the numbers

2048
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 8: weren't reflecting that. Pdue at the time was like plus

2049
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 8: five in the Big Ten in rebounding. The numbers have

2050
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 8: started to go up. Now. Granted, it's just a two

2051
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,320
Speaker 8: game thing here, right, I mean it, Purdue is dominated

2052
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 8: on the glass in the last two games. Two games

2053
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 8: is not a season make. But if this is the

2054
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 8: trend for Purdue as far as rebounding wise, they can

2055
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 8: take them to the finish line, then this is the

2056
01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 8: team that Matt Paynter envisioned when he put it together

2057
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 8: back in August. Uh and Purdue can still do some

2058
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 8: do some really good things here.

2059
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,560
Speaker 1: Rob Obviously, Perdue is to be successful against Michigan and

2060
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: I everybody's got to play pretty well. But if we

2061
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: just figure that Braiden Smith is going to be Braden

2062
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,639
Speaker 1: Smith and that that Trey Kaufman Wren plays his best game,

2063
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: who's the one guy that just has to show out

2064
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: tonight for them to have a chance.

2065
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I'm gonna I'm sorry, Jeff, I'm not gonna

2066
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 8: I'm not going to answer directly with one guy, because

2067
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 8: I do feel like it's the entire Purdue bench. I

2068
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 8: don't I think if you could, if you could just

2069
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 8: clump them all together as one. I do think the

2070
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 8: Purdue bench is going to have to outplay Michigan's bench, uh,

2071
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 8: and quite frankly, get Purdue a real punch in the arm,

2072
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 8: you know. You look, Look, I'm going to be as

2073
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:03,560
Speaker 8: objective as I can here. Yeah. I look at his

2074
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 8: Michigan starting five, and I have a hard time believing

2075
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 8: that produce starting five is better. Matter of fact, I

2076
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 8: have a hard time believing there's anyone in the country

2077
01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 8: that has a better starting en Fireman Michigan. It's not

2078
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 8: a knock on produce. That's not a knock on produce necessarily.

2079
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 7: Uh.

2080
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:21,760
Speaker 8: But when you do go to the bench tonight, which

2081
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 8: obviously both teams are going to have to get some

2082
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 8: some bench production, I do think that's where Purdue is

2083
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 8: going to have to uh is going to have to

2084
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:30,640
Speaker 8: make some hay. You know, L J. Cason has been

2085
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 8: playing really well for them off the bench. I saw

2086
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 8: somewhere where they were touting Trey McKinney. As you know,

2087
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 8: possible six Man of the Year, two really good guards

2088
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 8: for them that will play off the bench tonight. That's

2089
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 8: where Purdue really has to find an advantage. Purdue had

2090
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 8: that certainly had that at Iowa on Saturday when you

2091
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 8: especially when you look at what Jakari Harris did coming

2092
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,240
Speaker 8: off the bench, and he and Daniel Jacobson were outstanding

2093
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 8: as bench players, and quite frankly, everyone that played off

2094
01:36:57,640 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 8: the bench in that game played.

2095
01:36:59,120 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 7: At a high level.

2096
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:02,759
Speaker 8: To me, that's it's more about the bench play tonight

2097
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 8: for Purdue. I do feel like produced starters will be

2098
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 8: able to hold their own, but when you do get

2099
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 8: into the bench, can't produce in As you guys know,

2100
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:15,679
Speaker 8: typically your bench players played better at home. So hopefully

2101
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 8: that's that's something that can aid pdue today. But yeah,

2102
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,440
Speaker 8: with that question, if produce bench can be better than Michigan's,

2103
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,679
Speaker 8: I do feel like Purdue will have a real chance tonight.

2104
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 3: Purdue Global Radio Network, Rob Blackman, of course, Baby Rudel,

2105
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,919
Speaker 3: they've got you covered here six thirty early tip time tonight,

2106
01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 3: and Rob I was kind of saying to lead off

2107
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 3: the show tonight, it's one of these nights a while

2108
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 3: of college basketball you know, it's a Tuesday night on campus.

2109
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 3: Our NBA team here in town is whatever stuck in

2110
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 3: some tanking resting scandal, he said. She said, the NFL

2111
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 3: teams in the bottom quartile. But yet we get this

2112
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 3: match up. And I was struck by this. I didn't

2113
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 3: realize it. The last time the number one team is

2114
01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 3: played inside of Mackie was Gene Katie's final here.

2115
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, two thousand and five, Does that sound right? Yeah?

2116
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 1: Two thousand razy?

2117
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,599
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, yeah, I don't know what I thought,

2118
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 3: maybe one of those Ohio State teams or if Michigan

2119
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 3: State would have ever climbed to number one. But yeah,

2120
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 3: that was kind of struck by that.

2121
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,639
Speaker 8: No, it is crazy. And the only time Number one

2122
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 8: has ever lost in Mackie was Magic Johnson in the

2123
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,519
Speaker 8: seventy nine Michigan State Spartans. You have to go way

2124
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 8: back for that. Now, granted, there haven't been a lot

2125
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 8: of opportunities, as you were just alluding to, Number one

2126
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 8: rarely plays has rarely played at Mackie Arena. But hey,

2127
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 8: I'm with you. What but I mean, Kevin, what a

2128
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:34,920
Speaker 8: great week for college basketball?

2129
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

2130
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 3: For sure.

2131
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 8: You know it started last night with Iowa State Houston.

2132
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 8: We still have Purdue Indiana coming up Friday, and then

2133
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:43,799
Speaker 8: you have the huge you know, the two games Saturday,

2134
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 8: which have the top four teams in the country going

2135
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 8: against one another. So yeah, I'm with you, man. If

2136
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 8: you can't love college basketball this week, I don't have

2137
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,599
Speaker 8: anything for you. Man, there's something wrong with you if

2138
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:58,360
Speaker 8: you can't live it this week and none of that.

2139
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: Have fun that I write. It's these as a broadcaster,

2140
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: these are the kinds of games you do everything for.

2141
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: So I hope you enjoy yourself. We certainly hope that

2142
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:08,639
Speaker 1: Purdue plays its best tonight.

2143
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 8: All right, gentlemen, thanks for having me.

2144
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, You appreciate you always kind to the show.

2145
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 1: Here Rob Blackman stopping by on the pay Less Liquors

2146
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 1: hot Line. He's right about the bench. But I still say, somehow,

2147
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 1: some way, you know that Michigan's going to bring defense.

2148
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:28,680
Speaker 1: You know they're going to bring physicality. That big three that,

2149
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been pointing out, averaging almost twenty

2150
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: two rebounds a game, and a lot of times they

2151
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 1: don't even play the last five or six minutes of

2152
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:38,759
Speaker 1: a game. They have been tough for anybody to figure

2153
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,759
Speaker 1: out this year, and it'll be interesting to see how

2154
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 1: Matt Painter goes about trying to do that tonight.

2155
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 3: And to point out what Rob was saying there about

2156
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,920
Speaker 3: this week in college basketball, we get the rare kind

2157
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 3: of non conference game coming up Saturday. Michigan's got Duke

2158
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 3: and I think it's in d C on a neutral

2159
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:56,640
Speaker 3: floor there. So what a week from Michigan. I mean,

2160
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:58,679
Speaker 3: what a week for Purdue. What a week from Michigan.

2161
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 3: I want to say Houston in Arizona might be the

2162
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 3: other game on Saturday there so, and of course last

2163
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 3: night we saw Houston lose at Iowa State, So yeah,

2164
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 3: I mean this one. You know, to your point, Jeff,

2165
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 3: it's it's a Michigan team that's massive on their front line,

2166
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,800
Speaker 3: but they do have a lot of different combinations they

2167
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 3: can turn to. You know, Rob brings up Trey mckenni's

2168
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 3: had a great year as a freshman for them, and

2169
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 3: he plays a ton for them, So it'll be rocking.

2170
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:26,760
Speaker 3: They're lined up outside of Harry's, outside of the Cactus

2171
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 3: triple lexcalore here we go.

2172

01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: too many different places.

2178
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 3: Have you watched a college basketball game this year without

2179
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,880
Speaker 3: Robbie Hammel on the call?

2180
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,479

2181
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:57,840
Speaker 2: shout out to him, man. I think he's very good

2182
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,639
Speaker 2: in this like second career, and I'm Joy's analysis brings joy,

2183
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 2: I think to the game as well.

2184
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 4: So probably has been great.

2185
01:41:04,240 --> 01:41:06,800

01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just remember everyone wanting to wear a headband brown.

2199
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: That is true.

2200
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:46,320

Speaker 1: Correct us?

2209
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 2: Like of those times where well again back in the day,

2210
01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 2: the boys are sitting around named random players college players.

2211
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 3: In forty five seconds, everybody goes around the horn and

2212
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 3: name's a random college basketball player. Luke Aaren go to

2213

2214
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:12,800
Speaker 4: I tell you that.

2215
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,080
Speaker 2: And I would go with the grievous Vascuasz who I

2216
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 2: brought up.

2217
01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago ago.

2218
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 3: There's a random n Garry Williams, right.

2219
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 8: I don't know.

2220
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go with Kyle Guy God for Jen.

2221
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 4: There you go.

2222
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 3: If we're gonna go Maryland. How about Lonnie Baxter, Remember

2223
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 3: big old Lonnie Baxter. I think that that might have

2224
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,439
Speaker 3: been the national title team that beat out you.

2225
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 4: How about Brandon Rush?

2226
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 2: He didn't Brandon Rush like play for the Pacers, and

2227
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:43,559
Speaker 2: he showed up at acies golf outing.

2228
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 3: I want to say, Brandon Rush lives here now he

2229
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 3: called I think he might have married a local girl

2230
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 3: or calls Indy home. I'm pretty sure shout.

2231
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 4: Out Brandon Rush.

2232
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 2: I remember seeing him at Ace's golf outing. He had

2233
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 2: dreads or braids, and I was like, who is this?

2234
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 2: Like oh wow, you know it a little different than

2235
01:42:57,840 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 2: your Kansas days.

2236
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 1: Who's the big stuff on campus for basketball when you

2237
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: were Illinois?

2238
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,799
Speaker 4: When I was at Illinois, Malcolm Hill very good player.

2239
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 3: He could score.

2240
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2241
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 2: I think he had a forty ball when I was

2242
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 2: in college and ended up playing a little bit in

2243
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 2: the NBA. And then Kendrick Nunn as well. He was

2244
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:14,880
Speaker 2: a pretty good player. I think he's overseas in a

2245
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 2: eurod league.

2246
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 1: Now, who'd you have at Indiana?

2247
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:19,760
Speaker 3: There were some bad teams my first few years. So

2248
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 3: it was Koream's first three years, so they won six,

2249
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 3: nine and twelve. But then senior year he had Cody

2250
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:28,000
Speaker 3: Zeller Victor. That was the watch shot team. So that

2251
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 3: team definitely had some notable players. Jordi Holes, of course

2252
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 3: beloved in the Bloomington area.

2253
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:36,639
Speaker 1: There all right, Mark, let's check it down.

01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:13,800

Speaker 4: James, Yeah, high at you boy, I'll get you in.

2267
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 1: We will find out if the Prdue boiler Makers can

2268
01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 1: make any inroads. They got a nice little winning streak

2269
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: going there. They got a road win recently against Nebraska,

2270
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 1: and as you pointed out, Kevin, they got a big

2271
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 1: week of games coming up, starting with this game tonight.

2272
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:32,840
Speaker 3: Big yeah. Again, nothing for iube you this week, but

2273
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 3: they will be up in Mackie coming up on Friday.

2274
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 3: So Purdue is in the Gauntlet. Great week last week.

2275
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,719
Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about patting an already impressive resume

2276
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 3: with what they did at Nebraska and at Iowa. But

2277
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 3: just to reiterate what Michigan has done this season, there

2278
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 3: twenty four and one. Twenty of the twenty four wins

2279
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 3: or by double digits. Thirteen of the twenty four are

2280
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 3: by twenty points or more. And we're talking about the

2281
01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 3: best the Big Ten is looked in a while, and

2282
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 3: Michigan didn't they scheduled majorly in the non conference. So

2283
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 3: Dusty Mays Bunch, I don't think it's hyperbole to say

2284
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,000
Speaker 3: it's one of the most impressive college basketball teams we've

2285
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 3: seen in a while.

2286
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: In a year full of three or four really impressive

2287
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 1: college basketball teams too. So that'll be tonight. We'll look

2288
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 1: forward to seeing that one the Olympics today, knockout round

2289
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 1: has started to In men's hockey, we've got two games

2290
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: in the books already. Germany has defeated France by a

2291
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,879
Speaker 1: five to one score and Switzerland shuts out home Italy

2292
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: three to nothing. A little bit later on today, the

2293
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,679
Speaker 1: United States will be paying attention to the game between

2294
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 1: Sweden and Latvia. I would think Sweden is a heavy

2295
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: favorite to win that game, and then the United States

2296
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:46,759
Speaker 1: get the winner of that one coming up on Thursday,

2297
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. We've also got some medals being

2298
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 1: handed out in men's biathlon later on today, men's team

2299
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 1: pursuit speed skating. What else do we have? Women's speed

2300
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:01,799
Speaker 1: skating going to hand out a medal later on today?

2301
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:05,679
Speaker 1: Freestyle skiing has got a medal today. The Bob sled,

2302
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: the two man Bob sled. He's got a medal being

2303
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,280
Speaker 1: handed out today. Of all those, Kevin, which will you

2304
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 1: be intently watching.

2305
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 3: Well, the Bob slaid. I had some affinity for last

2306
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 3: night watching the mono Bob. Two moms got it done.

2307
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:21,479
Speaker 3: A gold medalist and a bronze medalist here from the

2308
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 3: United States, and I'm looking forward. I don't know if

2309
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 3: it's today, but Jordan Stoltz, the speed skater, he's gone

2310
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 3: two for two so far in the Golds, a Wisconsin kid.

2311
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:33,839
Speaker 3: I believe he's got two more events. That speed skating's

2312
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 3: no joke. I mean, you got people falling like none other.

2313
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 3: The positioning, it makes me nervous watching them try to

2314
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 3: kind of you know, Bob and weave their way for

2315
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 3: positioning and then I'm always confused who's at fault when

2316
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 3: they fall down? Some great drama there.

2317
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:53,719
Speaker 1: Norda combined passed out a gold medal. Today Norway gets

2318
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:56,920
Speaker 1: another gold medal. I know that you've been paying attention

2319
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: to off Tebro Jens Lross. We've got the gold medal today.

2320
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 4: First time I've heard of that person.

2321
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 1: But Jonas la Ross off Tebros his last name, so

2322
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 1: I did last name first there. So that's what's going

2323
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 1: on at the Olympics. National Football League, the Dolphins have

2324
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,760
Speaker 1: released edge rusher Bradley Chubb and wide receiver Tyreek Hill

2325
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: as far as the NBA is concerned. Still on the

2326
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 1: All Star break, Pacers return to action Thursday and Friday

2327
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: with back to back games against the Washington Wizards. Right now, Kevin,

2328
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 1: the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference coming off

2329
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 1: of the fines from Adam Silver about tanking and how

2330
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 1: teams are going to approach this. How do these two

2331
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: teams approach this coming up this week?

2332
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and the papers will get back to practice late today,

2333
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 3: so I'm curious if Rick Carlisle have any comments on that.

2334
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,839
Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll get Rick on tomorrow morning. As everybody's traveling

2335
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 3: back to Indy today. But you know, right out of

2336
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 3: the gate, the Pacers will see a lot of like

2337
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 3: minded teams. I guess if you could say that in

2338
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 3: terms of the tank standing. So yeah, I am very

2339
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 3: very curious what words we will hear year and what

2340
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,679
Speaker 3: actions we will hear in terms of these final twenty

2341
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:04,679
Speaker 3: seven games of the season.

2342
01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:06,559
Speaker 1: All right, anything else you want to throw him before

2343
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 1: we move on to break, I think I'm all good.

2344
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,639
Speaker 1: All right, coming up in just a moment, we'll talk

2345
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:14,840
Speaker 1: about the upcoming NBA Draft and we'll take some of

2346
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 1: your comments as well. At two three ninety ten seventy.

2347
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 1: As we continue on ninety three five and one o

2348
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: seven five The Fan, it is nonsense.

2349
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:25,400
Speaker 3: Persevance press list with FA beware to triple.

2350
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 8: It feels good in my sound, little suthing, But damn

2351
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:29,839
Speaker 8: the game if.

2352
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 3: It don't mean nothing?

2353
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 7: What is game?

2354
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: Who got a game? Where is the game?

2355
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 6: You were listening to the Fan morning show on Sports

2356
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:39,639
Speaker 6: Radio ninety three and one oh seven the Fans.

2357
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 1: He got game in.

2358
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 3: My field, good in my sound, little seven.

2359
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday here at ninety three five one seven five The Fan,

2360
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 1: We've been talking about a college basketball with Purdue going

2361
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: up against number one Michigan later on tonight. Also been

2362
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the Pacers. They returned to play

2363
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:58,799
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday at Washington, both teams I don't know, James,

2364
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:01,879
Speaker 1: you say vying to try and get into the bottom

2365
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 1: four for the upcoming NBA lottery. How would you even

2366
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: say that?

2367
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 4: For sure they're tanking, as.

2368
01:49:08,120 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 1: The NBA seems to have noticed. But to tell us

2369
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more about what could be at stake

2370
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: in that upcoming NBA draft this year, Kevin Sweeney joined

2371
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,720
Speaker 1: us on the Payless Lickers Hotline. He writes about the

2372
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: NBA and the NBA Draft that Sports illustrated, and he's

2373
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 1: kind enough to spend some time with us this morning

2374
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 1: on the Payless Liquers Hotline. Good morning, Kevin Sweeney. I

2375
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 1: hope you haven't gotten fined for anything from the NBA

2376
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: this week?

2377
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 8: Have you.

2378
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 7: I'm working on avoiding that. I appreciated.

2379
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 1: Guess I like that.

2380
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:37,840
Speaker 2: Stay away from that, well, Kevin, this is James Boyd here.

2381
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for the time. I know it's leading

2382
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 2: the DMS, I believe yesterday and you responded pretty quickly,

2383
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:45,200
Speaker 2: so thanks so much for the time, and join us

2384
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 2: here on the show. But I want to reach out

2385
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 2: to you because I was reading a bunch of NBA

2386
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:51,360
Speaker 2: draft stuff over the weekend, and the piece you put

2387
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 2: out yesterday, in particular, ranking the top fifty players in

2388
01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 2: this year's class was interesting to me because of where

2389
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 2: the Pacers are positioned trying to get a top four pick.

2390
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 2: And I'll start with the top Why do you think

2391
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:09,439
Speaker 2: Darren Peterson is number one still on this list?

2392
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 4: Considering how weird of a season he has had.

2393
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:14,680
Speaker 2: There's been some high highs, but then there's been some

2394
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:19,559
Speaker 2: absences that I think have you know, put perhaps Pacers fans,

2395
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 2: other fan bases of NBA teams on notice, like, hey,

2396
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:23,599
Speaker 2: can we trust has got to be a franchise?

2397
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 1: Do Yeah? Look, I think.

2398
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:30,440
Speaker 10: There's probably a level of apprehension that's reasonable given the absences.

2399
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 10: You know, I have no reason to believe in you know,

2400
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:37,880
Speaker 10: all the digging I have done that there's you anything

2401
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:41,080
Speaker 10: untoward there. Obviously, teams will want to see his medicals

2402
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 10: and try to get a better sense at the combine

2403
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 10: of where things stand with his hamstring some of the

2404
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 10: cramping issues that have cropped up. But by all accounts,

2405
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 10: I mean Darren Peterson is as competitive as you will find.

2406
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 10: That has been the track record since early in high

2407
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,080
Speaker 10: school when he first popped up on the radar. The

2408
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 10: idea that this is a guy who doesn't want to

2409
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 10: compete just doesn't jive with everything you've ever heard about him,

2410
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 10: But before there was a narrative to create, I guess

2411
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,560
Speaker 10: would be the best way of putting it. So I

2412
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 10: still think he's an unbelievable talent. Offensively, I think he's

2413
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:19,120
Speaker 10: someone that you can build an offense around in the

2414
01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:22,639
Speaker 10: modern NBA, maybe a little bit easier than you can

2415
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 10: with with Aj Debonsa. They're obviously both terrific prospects and

2416
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 10: some really good players below them as well. But I

2417
01:51:29,640 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 10: think Darren has that, you know, Devin Booker maybe up

2418
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:39,679
Speaker 10: to Anthony Edwards level offensive package, and it is certainly

2419
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:42,719
Speaker 10: a viable candidate one assuming the medicals checkout.

2420
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 2: Again, we're talking to Kevin Sweeney, college basketball and NBA

2421
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 2: draft writer for Sports Illustrated, also hosts the Scout Team Pods,

2422
01:51:51,439 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 2: so check that out when you get a chance, hopefully

2423
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 2: at ten.

2424
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 4: Oh one here after our show.

2425
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 2: But to follow up to that, Kevin and I tend

2426
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,280
Speaker 2: to agree with where you stand and you've see you

2427
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:02,799
Speaker 2: evaluated these guys and watch these guys a lot more.

2428
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 4: Than we have.

2429
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 2: But my follow up to that is, Okay, if Darren

2430
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,160
Speaker 2: Peterson's number one, how big of a gap do you

2431
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 2: think it is between one and two on your list

2432
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 2: with AJ de bands At being number two? And then

2433
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 2: do you the last thing throw in there is do

2434
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 2: you think there's a gap after that between those two

2435
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:22,000
Speaker 2: and the rest of the lottery type of guys.

2436
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:25,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think there is a gap between those two

2437
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 10: just talent wise, like when we're talking about like guys

2438
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,719
Speaker 10: who could potentially be the best player on a championship team.

2439
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 7: I think those are the two that you circle in

2440
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 7: this draft.

2441
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 10: I think the Flemings and Caleb Wilson and you know

2442
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 10: Boozer are certainly phenomenal, but you know, I think they're

2443
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:44,519
Speaker 10: they're guys who will need to be around other great players.

2444
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:47,760
Speaker 10: I think AJ and Darren have maybe a different level

2445
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:51,839
Speaker 10: of star power. To me, it's not that close between

2446
01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 10: Darren and AJ, but I think you would probably group

2447
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 10: them in the same tier of like truly elite prospects

2448
01:52:58,160 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 10: and others.

2449
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:00,320
Speaker 7: Will you know, either or.

2450
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 10: Maybe have a larger gap depending on if they've truly

2451
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 10: loved Darren or or a smaller one. Some people will

2452
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 10: have ag number one. I don't think that will be

2453
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:10,479
Speaker 10: an unpopular opinion around the NBA, although I think Darren

2454
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 10: certainly has the edge when when you talk to scouts

2455
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:14,280
Speaker 10: and folks around the league.

2456
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:17,519
Speaker 3: Kevin Sweeney with us here on the Payloffslookers Hotline some

2457
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:21,760
Speaker 3: great great draft coverage over on SI Kevin, I want

2458
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,000
Speaker 3: to ask you about a couple of local prospects for us.

2459
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:27,719
Speaker 3: We'll start with Braylan Mullins. I believe you had him

2460
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:32,559
Speaker 3: twelve on that big board, so you definitely see him

2461
01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:34,559
Speaker 3: as a late lottery type of pick here.

2462
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm a huge believer. I just think the shooting

2463
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 10: shooting translates at such an elite level. He's so dynamic

2464
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:47,599
Speaker 10: as a movement shooter, and I think NBA teams will

2465
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 10: value the fact that he comes from a winning situation

2466
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 10: at Yukon where he's been forced to play within the

2467
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:57,640
Speaker 10: structure of an offense. You know, has learned how to

2468
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 10: take NBA shots right, likeying off of pin downs, flying

2469
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 10: off the screens, like. His role when he steps into

2470
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:06,840
Speaker 10: the NBA will look very similar to the role that

2471
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:08,840
Speaker 10: he's playing at ukon alrighty.

2472
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think certainly in play in the late lottery, could.

2473
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 10: Maybe fall into the teams. But I think that ten

2474
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 10: to twenty range looks pretty solid for Braylen.

2475
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 3: And then Braden Smith at thirty one. Obviously we'll see

2476
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 3: him tonight in a huge one. Last week, I mean,

2477
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 3: he quarterbacked a lout as well as you could into

2478
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 3: road winds for Purdue. Anything he can show over the

2479
01:54:31,040 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 3: final month and a half of this season to push him,

2480
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 3: you know, I guess maybe into round one, or do

2481
01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:39,280
Speaker 3: you kind of see him right on the fringe of

2482
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 3: round one, round two?

2483
01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:41,880
Speaker 7: You know.

2484
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 10: Look, I think he's someone that could obviously get a

2485
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,040
Speaker 10: March bump. Every year one or two kind of veteran

2486
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:51,560
Speaker 10: stars of March Madness tended to get drafted ten twenty

2487
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 10: spots higher maybe than their their talent would indicate, because

2488
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:58,480
Speaker 10: they're just so overwhelmingly impressive in the NAA tournament and

2489
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:02,360
Speaker 10: organizations all in love with the winning the competitiveness. I

2490
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 10: think Brayden could do that, especially if he get delivered

2491
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:08,680
Speaker 10: Purdue another final four, potentially even a national championship, you know,

2492
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 10: in the same way like Walter Clayton did last year.

2493
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 10: I do think it's gonna be very fringe. It's not

2494
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 10: going to be for everybody. He's obviously small, He's not

2495
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:17,560
Speaker 10: going to measure well at the combine. He will measure

2496
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 10: under six feet. That will scare some people off. But

2497
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 10: he's he's a basketball savant, like he's an incredible pick

2498
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 10: and roll playmaker who raises your level in practice. He

2499
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 10: raises your level as an end of bench point guard.

2500
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 10: And I'm a true believer that he'll find a.

2501
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 7: Way to stick, whether he's drafted.

2502
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 10: Late first, early second, mid second, that he's gonna find

2503
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 10: a way.

2504
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 1: What about a guy like Lamar Wilkerson of Indiana, Where

2505
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 1: does he fit in?

2506
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2507
01:55:41,600 --> 01:55:44,640
Speaker 10: I actually got a text from somebody I really trust

2508
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 10: who compared him to Chas Lanier who got drafted with

2509
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 10: the Pistons last year and was great at Tennessee, and

2510
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:53,640
Speaker 10: said he thinks he's actually a better prospect than Chaz.

2511
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 7: And I believe Chaz was.

2512
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:58,760
Speaker 10: A top forty pick, so right now didn't quite crack

2513
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 10: my top fifty. But part of that is that there's

2514
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:04,240
Speaker 10: obviously a lot of guys I'm the fringes who won't

2515
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:05,000
Speaker 10: stay in the draft.

2516
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 7: They'll stay in college, they'll get paid.

2517
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 10: Lamar has had a phenomenal year and made himself a

2518
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:12,760
Speaker 10: lot of money just with the shooting ability and the

2519
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 10: feel for the game. I think I think teams will

2520
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 10: really appreciate that. So certainly a guy that will get

2521
01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 10: second round attention and could play his way into a

2522
01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 10: guaranteed contract.

2523
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 7: Right out of the gates, which would be a pretty remarkable.

2524
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,960
Speaker 10: Story for a guy that I believe was working in

2525
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 10: a chainsaw making factory before starting to play college basketball.

2526
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,640
Speaker 10: It's been a remarkable rise from that to Indiana.

2527
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 4: Kevin.

2528
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 2: One more from me, just from an overall, like Big

2529
01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:41,520
Speaker 2: Tim perspective, That's usually what we focus on here on

2530
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 2: our show. What do you look at or how do

2531
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 2: you kind of view this conference this year? With so

2532
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 2: much talent from top to bottom, it seems like whether

2533
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 2: you're talking about individual talent or the overall team talent

2534
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 2: like we have with Purdue and Michigan slated to go

2535
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 2: at each other tonight.

2536
01:56:56,680 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be a great game. I

2537
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 10: can't wait to drive down from Chicago for it. I

2538
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 10: think the thing that's different maybe about the Big Ten

2539
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 10: this year is the league has been has always had

2540
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:11,400
Speaker 10: a lot of good and its strength has always been

2541
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 10: its depth, and I think this year maybe the depth

2542
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 10: is not as good as it's been, but the top

2543
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:21,840
Speaker 10: of the league is great. I mean the the Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska,

2544
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 10: Michigan State, and now Wisconsin. Kind of entering that conversation

2545
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 10: with how they played lately, that's a monster of a

2546
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 10: top six, and you've seen those teams kind.

2547
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 7: Of beat each other up.

2548
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 10: I think all of those have certainly second weekend in

2549
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 10: Stawly tournaments potential. I think most of them have Final

2550
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:40,000
Speaker 10: four potential, and I really believe that Michigan and Illinois in.

2551
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 7: Particular are right at the top of the list of

2552
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 7: teams you would predict to win a national championship. So obviously,

2553
01:57:46,440 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 7: the drought is what it is.

2554
01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:50,760
Speaker 10: People will we'll talk about that, but there's there's some

2555
01:57:50,840 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 10: incredible star power in this league, especially in the back courts,

2556
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 10: and you know, I think that that does win in

2557
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 10: the NCAA tournament. When you talk about Braden Smith and

2558
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:02,680
Speaker 10: Jeremy Fears and Keen Woggler, who's been an absolute revelation,

2559
01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 10: and you know, top ten pick on my my big board,

2560
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 10: like it's It's a lot of fun to watch what

2561
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 10: these guys do, and I think it changes this this

2562
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 10: conference of ceiling in March.

2563
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 4: Kevin, I just I was just real quick. I'm sorry

2564
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 4: to cut you off.

2565
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 2: I really appreciate your your you know, your love of

2566
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 2: Chloe as the Illinois along with the Illinois hoodie on.

2567
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 2: I needed some get back after Indiana smash Illinois and basketball,

2568
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 2: So thank you so much for mentioning him, Jeff.

2569
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: I'll be surrounded by Illinois and Notre Dame all day long.

2570
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 1: Just so you know that's what I'm That's what I'm

2571
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 1: dealing with here, Kevin. But real quickly, it's just take

2572
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:35,720
Speaker 1: your NBA Draft analyst hat off, and just as a

2573
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 1: fan of college basketball, like, what are you looking forward

2574
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,440
Speaker 1: to most in the matchup tonight between Purdue and Michigan.

2575
01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:47,320
Speaker 10: You know, obviously the crowd will be incredible. I mean

2576
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 10: that's always the best part of a trip to Mackie.

2577
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:54,800
Speaker 10: But I would say I just love watching Perdue in

2578
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 10: a game where they don't have a size advantage.

2579
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:58,320
Speaker 3: Like they can't lean on.

2580
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 10: People physically, and so watching the it's like Kluff and

2581
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 10: Cuff and ren physical battle with Mara and Morez, Johnson.

2582
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 7: And the actual Endeborg.

2583
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 10: I mean that will be an absolute war on the inside.

2584
01:59:10,480 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 10: Looking forward to seeing what Purdue can do to handle

2585
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 10: that Michigan size and keep them out a transition.

2586
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun. We'll stay in touch.

2587
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting NBA season as these

2588
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:24,840
Speaker 1: teams jockey for position down the stretch here with the

2589
01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:28,640
Speaker 1: watchful eye of Adam Silver on them too. Thanks as always, Kevin.

2590
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again soon.

2591
01:59:30,120 --> 01:59:30,400
Speaker 7: Thank you.

2592
01:59:30,400 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 1: I talk to Kevin Sweeny Sports Illustrated talking about the

2593
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:37,240
Speaker 1: NBA Draft is I don't know. We've talked what ten

2594
01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 1: teams could possibly be in play for those those four

2595
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 1: top lottery spots when it's all said and done.

2596
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.

2597
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 2: And as Kevin kind of laid out, not the Kevin

2598
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 2: here on this show, although you're great the other Kevin,

2599
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,800
Speaker 2: Kevin Sweeney explaining that there is a lot of high level.

2600
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:53,839
Speaker 4: Talent this year's class.

2601
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:58,400
Speaker 2: And I do think, Kevin, there is a significant difference

2602
01:59:58,560 --> 02:00:01,280
Speaker 2: between having a one in two pick versus having a

2603
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:03,480
Speaker 2: three and four pick if you are the Pacers. But

2604
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:05,720
Speaker 2: beggars can't be choose, as I suppose you just hope

2605
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 2: you get the pick at all.

2606
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of praise for the local guys.

2607
02:00:08,960 --> 02:00:11,360
Speaker 3: I thought from Kevin Seney there so enjoyed that convo.

2608
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 3: If you missed it. A little NBA draft talk with him,

2609
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:15,840
Speaker 3: that'll be up on the podcast in a bit, all.

2610
02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:17,240

Speaker 1: is trying to turn the text line on me for trying.

2622
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know you're thinking I'm being anti American because

2623
02:00:49,640 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned it Canadian. I'm not Zay Karnan.

2624
02:00:52,160 --> 02:00:53,400

02:02:16,520 --> 02:02:18,480
Speaker 2: my dad and they were arguing over who's going to

2657

Speaker 2: get the bigger share, and I'm like, hold on, people

2658
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 2: just supposed to be mine to begin with, So I

2659
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:24,720
Speaker 2: I don't think I gotta go buy a.

2660
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 3: Debate in my householder if we're sharing properly here.

2661
02:02:27,880 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I throw the cookie on the table when

2662
02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:32,120
Speaker 2: I got home and they're like, who's that for. I'm like,

2663
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:35,240
Speaker 2: uh me. But then that did not last long. I

2664
02:02:35,280 --> 02:02:36,200
Speaker 2: got trumped on that one.

2665
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 3: A getting big fan your promo code there at Cluster

2666
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 3: Truck Now, Jeffy and I would say, Mark, you guys

2667
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 3: are more of the hockey experts. Certainly here we are

2668
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 3: the favorite on the women's side pretty notably, but Canada

2669
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 3: is probably the favorite on the men's side, not like overwhelming,

2670
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 3: but that's how we would probably summon up.

2671
02:02:53,840 --> 02:02:57,240
Speaker 1: Canada is stacked the men. Yeah, they are just stacked.

2672
02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:59,200
Speaker 1: But we got a team, right, We have a great team,

2673
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:03,000
Speaker 1: and it look it really depends on can we get

2674
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 1: some hot goaltending and a break here and there. They're

2675
02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:09,400
Speaker 1: not that far behind Canada, but Canada is clearly the favorite.

2676
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 2: What was the last thing where they went head to head?

2677
02:03:12,640 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Was that the something classic?

2678
02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2679
02:03:15,080 --> 02:03:17,680
Speaker 3: We well we did the Four Nations That.

2680
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:20,640
Speaker 4: Also classics in my head, but yes, that was good.

2681
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,000
Speaker 3: Well, and we haven't had and again, you guys who

2682
02:03:23,000 --> 02:03:24,600
Speaker 3: know better than I, when's the last time we've had

2683
02:03:24,720 --> 02:03:26,879
Speaker 3: NHL is in the Olympics.

2684
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 1: Two thousand and twelve. Does that sound right?

2685
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:29,400
Speaker 8: Mark?

2686
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, something about that.

2687
02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:31,360
Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't know that.

2688
02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:32,120
Speaker 3: It's been a while.

2689
02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 7: Now.

2690
02:03:32,320 --> 02:03:34,760
Speaker 3: On the women's side, the US women have been much

2691
02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 3: better than Canada recently, but in the gold medal you know,

2692
02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:42,200
Speaker 3: non Olympics, I guess is how you put it in.

2693
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:45,360
Speaker 3: In the Olympics, though, Canadian women have still been better.

2694
02:03:45,440 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, we're getting into knockout stages for hockey here

2695
02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:52,720
Speaker 3: women gold medal match coming up on a Thursday.

2696
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, I like what the United States has

2697
02:03:56,160 --> 02:03:58,720
Speaker 1: been doing these these last game or two. I was

2698
02:03:58,720 --> 02:04:01,040
Speaker 1: a little worried at the beginning, but they seem to

2699
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,320
Speaker 1: have gotten their act together a little bit more and

2700
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:06,240
Speaker 1: throughout each of the three preliminary games. But yeah, when

2701
02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 1: we're into the knockout round, now win or go home

2702
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:10,640
Speaker 1: for everybody. So That's why I'm excited about that today.

2703
02:04:11,440 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 1: Before we go, check the text line real quick, Derek

2704
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:17,680
Speaker 1: wants to know guys. He says pitt has dominated Alec

2705
02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Pearson catches every year, including last season. How does Pierce

2706
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:24,440
Speaker 1: become wide receiver one? And Pitt get shown the door? James?

2707
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:26,839
Speaker 4: Because yards matter more than catches.

2708
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:31,760
Speaker 2: And last year yards wise was the second lowest of

2709
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior's career outside of his rookie season. And

2710
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:37,440
Speaker 2: then he just paid a ton of money. I mean,

2711
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 2: you look at his concerence situation. One guy is ascending,

2712
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 2: one guy is declining. So you're gonna pay the guy

2713
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,080
Speaker 2: who's ascending, and you're not going to play the guy

2714
02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 2: who's declining when his contract is massive.

2715
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 4: Now, I'm not saying he's a bad football player.

2716
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:52,880
Speaker 2: I think that Michael Pittman Jr. Has plenty of good

2717
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:55,800
Speaker 2: football ahead of him, just not at that price point.

2718
02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 3: What's easier to replace? That's what I keep on come

2719
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:02,000
Speaker 3: back to. I think it's easier to find a Michael

2720
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 3: Pittman junior than it is in Alec Peers.

2721
02:05:04,160 --> 02:05:06,360
Speaker 2: Yes, let's not forget that Alec Pierce, for the second

2722
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 2: straight season led the league in yards per catch. Also, Kevin,

2723
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:12,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have the number officially, but

2724
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 2: it seems like he might also be leading the league

2725
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:17,760
Speaker 2: and pass interference yards gained as well.

2726
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 3: Nearly two hundred yards yet he did last year.

2727
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,120
Speaker 4: That is a trait that does not grow on trees.

2728
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:24,960
Speaker 3: Pitman's a very nice white out, but again, what is

2729
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:28,240
Speaker 3: harder to replace? And I think that's where I bowled.

2730
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 3: And I'm not even getting into the age. You know,

2731
02:05:30,760 --> 02:05:32,800
Speaker 3: you can play the age game and we're talking what

2732
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:35,360
Speaker 3: probably what three year age different something like that. You

2733
02:05:35,360 --> 02:05:39,000
Speaker 3: know that matters at the skill positions. So look, if

2734
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,840
Speaker 3: Pittman walked out, the door wide receiver definitely be a need.

2735
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to just discredit him like that by

2736
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:47,800
Speaker 3: any means, but if it came down to that debate

2737
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:51,640
Speaker 3: either or to me, it's easier to find another Pittman

2738
02:05:51,720 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 3: than it is to find another Peers, I.

2739
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,880
Speaker 5: Would agree there is it a foregone conclusion they're using

2740
02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:58,000
Speaker 5: the franchise tag on Alec Pearce because that seems to

2741
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 5: be like there's all these like best free it's available,

2742
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:02,720
Speaker 5: and Alec Pierce is there. I'm like, I think the

2743
02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 5: national guys are forgetting the franchise tag.

2744
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think anytime you use the word

2745
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:09,959
Speaker 3: fore gone and it can be a little bit extreme,

2746
02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:13,000
Speaker 3: But Mark, I would be very surprised. I guess if

2747
02:06:13,080 --> 02:06:16,640
Speaker 3: they let, if they let Pierce test the open market

2748
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 3: with the thought of their not coming with you know,

2749
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:22,879
Speaker 3: you can't walk in there with knives in a gunfight.

2750
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 3: I guess to kind of put it that way. Yeah,

2751
02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 3: so that you know when I and I get that's

2752
02:06:27,120 --> 02:06:29,480
Speaker 3: this time of year with content, it's like you try

2753
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,840
Speaker 3: to predict which free agency are gonna go elsewhere. But

2754
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 3: that's the thing about the franchise tag is it's almost

2755
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:35,840
Speaker 3: like we have to get through this two week window

2756
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 3: starting today. Over the next two weeks, we get through

2757
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 3: it and then we assess free agency. So James, I

2758
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 3: don't know fore gone to be a word you would use,

2759
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:44,919
Speaker 3: but again I would be surprised.

2760
02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:48,520
Speaker 2: I probably go with that it's foregne. They're going to

2761
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:51,680
Speaker 2: use it in some capacity. I just cannot see them

2762
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:55,120
Speaker 2: not using it on Alec Pearce or Daniel Jones, considering

2763
02:06:55,680 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 2: how much both mean to your team, particularly when it

2764
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:00,600
Speaker 2: comes to your quarterback. Now he's coming up an injury

2765
02:07:01,040 --> 02:07:02,960
Speaker 2: and I think the relationship there is just a little

2766
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,560
Speaker 2: bit different considering the injury and you kind of redeem

2767
02:07:06,640 --> 02:07:10,160
Speaker 2: your career here. Is that an easier sell to come

2768
02:07:10,200 --> 02:07:12,760
Speaker 2: to a long term agreement or a multi year deal

2769
02:07:13,280 --> 02:07:16,320
Speaker 2: versus with Alec Pierce. I mean, I get that he

2770
02:07:16,520 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 2: developed here, he blossomed here, but he could be saying, look,

2771
02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 2: every team in the league would want me if I

2772
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:23,560
Speaker 2: hit free agency, and I just don't think you can

2773
02:07:23,560 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 2: play that game with him, because if you let him

2774
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 2: hit the open market, he will be getting I think

2775
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:31,160
Speaker 2: close to you know, over twenty five million dollars a

2776
02:07:31,200 --> 02:07:31,800
Speaker 2: year annually.

2777
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 1: You expect to see any more big names get released

2778
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:37,360
Speaker 1: as teams try to figure out their off season in

2779
02:07:37,360 --> 02:07:38,160
Speaker 1: the next few days.

2780
02:07:38,320 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure. I mean maybe not the level of

2781
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:43,880
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill, but uh yeah, this is cutting time. Yeah,

2782
02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:45,839
Speaker 3: that's what this time of year is all about, particularly

2783
02:07:45,840 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 3: with the teams that have the new gms, the new

2784
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:50,160
Speaker 3: head coaches, and you know, you don't fit our system,

2785
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, you make too much money, you're old,

2786
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:53,760
Speaker 3: all the above.

2787
02:07:54,120 --> 02:07:56,440
Speaker 2: So yes, I will say, real quick, keep an eye

2788
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:58,840
Speaker 2: on Max Crosby. I think that that's a name that

2789
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued by what would it take to swing a

2790
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:03,120
Speaker 2: deal for someone of his caliber?

2791
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:05,120
Speaker 4: Is he happy with the Raiders?

2792
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,200
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up later on today at noon, Jay

2793
02:08:07,280 --> 02:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Query returns and he will be talking about Purdue in

2794
02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:13,360
Speaker 1: their game tonight against Michigan, as will JMV from three

2795
02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:15,280
Speaker 1: to six. Enjoy your day. We'll talk to you again

2796
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:16,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning at seven
