1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Allow me to ask this question at noon on a

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Thursday that still kind of feels like a Wednesday, because

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Monday was a day that felt like Sunday. Part two.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Allow me to ask this question. Maybe I'm the only one.

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: When you go on vacation, is there anything better?

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: You know?

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: The old line is that no beer is better than

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: an airport beer, because when you are on vacation and

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: you get there a little bit early because you're excited

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: and the bag's been checked and everything else, and say

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, We'll sit right here near

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: the gate at this bar and have a beer to

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: start the vacation. And when you are on day one

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: of the vacation, your mind is completely clear and void

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: of things. For example, Eddie, you are getting ready, if

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Eddie Garrison, you are getting ready in

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: October to take a vacation. Correct, That is correct? Yes,

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: So when you are getting ready for that vacation, whether

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: you're driving or fly, it's kind of irrelevant that very

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: first day, isn't it Almost a surreal feeling of knowing

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: and almost retraining your brain to know that for the

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: next four to five to six to seven days, whatever

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: it might be that you don't have wake up calls,

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: you don't have responsibilities from eight until five, you don't

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: have a set time that you're gonna eat dinner because

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: it's vacation and it's just everything You're like, man, it's

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: just like spontaneous, right, and everything just feels different on

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: day one because you are overcome with this optimism and

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: excitement and the awareness of the open space in front

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: of you. And that's the best day of vacation. And

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: that's why, like, the airport beer is the best beer

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: because you know, you know what, if I want to

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: have a beer at three in the afternoon next Tuesday,

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a beer at three in the afternoon

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: because I'm on vacation. I can. Honesty is, I've never

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: had a beer and at the airport. Well, if you do,

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I can tell you that an airport beer is the

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: best beer. Okay, if you're flying on vacation, just trust

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: me on this or work with me. So that's what

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: today is in the National Football League. This is the

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: day where everybody in the league is basically sitting there

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: at the gate where you're like, all I know is

43
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: now in the form of the NFL it's you're going

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: back to work. But as a fan, as a fan

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: of an NFL team, literally, it's like I'm putting all

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: notifications on silent because now is the time where I'm

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: going to see it on the field, and all of

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: the worrying about in the scrutinizing and training camp of

49
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: whether or not this receiver or this tight end or

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: this running back or this quarterback or this cornerback or

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: this safety or linebacker or this edge rusher, all of that.

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Now I can just simply see it on the field.

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: And I am sitting here looking at it, saying to myself,

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: my team this year, this is the year. It all

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: starts now. And yes, you Colts fans, I understand it.

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: You have a little bit of uncertainty at the quarterback position.

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: You're not overly sold on Daniel Jones. You're like, I'm

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: super excited because I'm sitting at the gate and I'm

59
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: going on vacation. But I just reminded myself that I'm

60
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: actually getting ready to fly to Tulsa. Not that there's

61
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: anything wrong with Tulsa, but You're like, but I thought

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I was going to be vacationing in Scottsdale. But I'm

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: in Tulsa, but you're still on vacation. I understand that

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: you worry about you have Ady Mitchell and Alec Pierce,

65
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: two wide receivers that you are excited about, because Alec

66
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Pierce has shown now and I think took a step

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: towards the end of last year to wet the whistle

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: for you about this coming season and get you excited

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: for it. And then you're like, but wait a minute,

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: I forget who it is that's going to be who's

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: actually going to be delivering him the long ball? Can

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones get the ball to where Alec Pierce needs

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: it if he gets behind a defense? And so does

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: that temper a little bit? Because I looked at the

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: forecast and it looks like it might be kind of

76
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: cloudy on Wednesday of my vacation. And then Adie Mitchell

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: is one that of course you are waiting to see

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: whether or not he shows up at all, but you

79
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: are still enticed a little bit. Tyler Warren is a

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: guy that I think that we that is an exciting

81
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: piece because of what he can do and what he

82
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: can bring to this offense and how he can open

83
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: things up and soften the defense to then get Jonathan

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Taylor un corked. There are elements and aspects of this

85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Colts offense, this particular Colts team, this roster, there are

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: elements about it that I think are pretty good. And

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: I do think they have a good roster. And we

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: talked about Verde ram and he said, you know what,

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: I like the roster. And we talked to Charles Davis

90
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, I like their roster.

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: And we've talked to Steven Holder and he says, you know,

92
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: the roster's good. And I know that it is a

93
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: popular sentiment, and this year is a big year for

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, but it is you know, going back in

95
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: saying sixty two, sixty nine to one, no divisional title

96
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: in since every other team in the league has won

97
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: it twice, and et cetera. And it is a common

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: theme to point out and or overly decipher and scrutinize

99
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: and talk about the deficiencies of Chris Ballard in terms

100
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: of statistics. But I think we can safely say this

101
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: might be in the last handful of years, certainly the

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: most complete roster that he's put out there. And he

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: does get credit for the areas that we were banging

104
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: the drum about that they needed to address. I think,

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: and we're going to find out proofs in the pudding,

106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: but I think we're going to find out that he

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: has has done a good job of shoring up those areas.

108
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: You know, the offensive line depth, that is something that

109
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: he has talked about a lot. That offensive line depth

110
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: has already been tested and already is having to go

111
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: into it, into the trenches, to go deep into that reserve.

112
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: The corners are one that a year ago he said, look,

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: I need to see these guys play and evaluate it,

114
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: and apparently he did and then decided that they needed

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: to upgrade it. And I'm a little concerned about the

116
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: fact that they have two guys that are within their

117
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: corner rotation that didn't even show up in Westfield on

118
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: day one and have been added since then. But nonetheless

119
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: they have experience in their defensive backfield linebacker. Okay, but

120
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: you got a new defensive scheme and do you really

121
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: need are we in an era still where you need

122
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: Mike Singletary and Dick Bukus and Lawrence Taylor lining up

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: at your line at Well, Lawrence Taylor'd be great, don't

124
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but you get what I'm saying, right.

125
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: He was kind of more an edge guy. So it

126
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: is here. The NFL season is upon us, and it

127
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: is Hope Springs eternal, if you will, even though that's

128
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: a baseball term, clean slate for everybody. And it gets

129
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: underway tonight Dallas in Philadelphia to kick us off, because

130
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: here is the thing, and thank goodness that it's Dallas

131
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia in September, because and I've mentioned this before,

132
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: the NFC East. It seems like every time you turn

133
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: on your television for a nationally televised National Football League game,

134
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: it's a matchup of the NFC East. And when it's

135
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: a matchup of the NFC East, typically that means that

136
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: it is Philadelphia and Washington, or Washington and Dallas, or

137
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: Dallas and the New York Giants, the New York Giants

138
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia. And every single time you have about a

139
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: three week window to watch the those games where you're

140
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: not clinically depressed, because every other time you watch the

141
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: NFC East, it's a four o'clock game and you turn

142
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: it on and they're in the meadowlands and it's like

143
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: the one in five Giants and the two and four commanders,

144
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: and it's forty five degrees missing in rain, and everybody

145
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: is sitting there in this misery of cold, gray weather

146
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: and ugh. That's usually the NFC East. So if we're

147
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: gonna get the NFC East primetime matchups forced upon us,

148
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: we might as well do it in September when the

149
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: weather is good and it's beautiful outside today, by the way,

150
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: it's absolutely beautiful. A good afternoon to you. My name

151
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: is Jake Quarry Eddie Garrison. The other voice you just

152
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: heard it is Quarrying Company here on ninety three five

153
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the fan. The name of

154
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: the program is Quarrying Company. We thank you for being

155
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: in the company. Last night I was at dinner and

156
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: gentlemen at the table next to me he said, I'm

157
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: in the company, and I said, well, that's wonderful you

158
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: and my mom, because my mom was sitting right there,

159
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: and I said, my mom's in the company as well.

160
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: But I appreciate those that come up to say hello.

161
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: We got a big show lined up today. We will

162
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: talk a lot about the Colts and the NFL as

163
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, their opponent for the Dolphins.

164
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: We're going to take a road trip, are we not, Eddie. Yeah,

165
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: it's our first Thursday road trip of the year. Chris

166
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: Perkins who joined us during our company camp caravan. It

167
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: covers the dolphins for the South Florida Sentinel. I think

168
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that's right. Maybe the South Florida Sun Sentinel, but either way,

169
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: he joins Ust one thirty. Matt Taylor joins us at

170
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: two o'clock, and Jake with your your deep rolodexic connections.

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully will Power joins us at one o'clock. So will

172
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: Power is obviously the key domino within the IndyCar Silly

173
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: season and one that's been around for a very long time.

174
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: And the news that he is now going to Andretti Global,

175
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: And so yesterday when I said to will Power, hey

176
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: can you come on the show? And will Power said,

177
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: no problem, I'm going to be karting. I assume that

178
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: means he's going to be a go car track. I'm

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: going to be karting throughout the course of the day.

180
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: So just remind me so that I can step out

181
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and be able to hop on the phone and join

182
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: your show. So that is scheduled to be at one o'clock.

183
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: We'll see, right, I love willpower though. Good dude, last

184
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: night the power Ball. I'm fascinated by this heady. I

185
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: have a theory. Are you ready for my theory? Yes,

186
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: I have a mathematical theory in it. I guess you

187
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: could correlate this into the NFL in general. Okay, and

188
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: the fact that it's the opening week and everybody is

189
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: trying to put themselves in position to you know, statistically

190
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: get into the wild card get you know, everybody has

191
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: a different expectation and a different ceiling this year. For example,

192
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: I think if you were doing sports talk radio in

193
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, if you're in sports talk radio in Buffalo,

194
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: if you're doing sports talk radio in Philadelphia, you have

195
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: different expectation and floor and ceiling for this year. And

196
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: if you are a Chiefs prognosticator going into the year,

197
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, like, look, anything less than anything less than

198
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: thirteen wins is a disappointment. I mean, if the Chiefs

199
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: go twelve and five, people are gonna be like, what

200
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: is going on with the Chiefs. If the Bills go

201
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: eleven and six, people are gonna be what's going on

202
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 1: with the Bills? Different expectations than in Cleveland or Arizona

203
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: or Charlotte, right different expect Hey, if they can win

204
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: five games and show progress, we're happy. That's the thought

205
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: going in with those teams. But you were just trying

206
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: to put yourself in position to get into the postseason.

207
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: If you are a middle packed like Indianapolis. I think

208
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: the Colts people would be thrilled if the Colts by

209
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: November December are in contention, still within the division or

210
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: the wildcard, which in this division may well be a possibility.

211
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: But you get to the point where you're like, I

212
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: just want to crack at the wheel. I want to

213
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: You got to win the games like, for example, Eras

214
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Denver and Miami for the first two

215
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: games opposite order. For the Colts, you've got to win

216
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: those two because you're looking at the numerology of what

217
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: your record's going to be and trying to get into

218
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: the postseason. And one would think those are two teams

219
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: in Miami and Denver that are going to be right

220
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: in that log jam with the Colts for a postseason.

221
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: Bit.

222
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: I thought about this with the power ball last night. Now, Eddie,

223
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: you did not buy a powerball ticket, correct, No, I

224
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: went to the grocery store or not the grocery store. Geez,

225
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: the gas station was night. It was a night the

226
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: fever played. So was that Tuesday? It was Tuesday night,

227
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: a Tuesday that felt like a Monday. Yeah, that's exactly

228
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: why I was confused on what night it was. I

229
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: was going in there for just to get a dr pepper,

230
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, to get me some caffeine to get me

231
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: through the night. And the guy in front of me

232
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: buys not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,

233
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: fifty power ball tickets. I'm like, what in the world. Okay,

234
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: I have a theory on this. So then he goes

235
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: to his car. I didn't tell you this part, Jack,

236
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: I texted you this. He comes back. He goes, yeah,

237
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: I'll do twenty. Who's your lottery and I'll do twenty

238
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that make a million two. I'm like, what in the world.

239
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I was like, if you win one of these, do

240
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: I get Do I get part of this? Because I

241
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: was here to witness it. He goes sure, or for waiting? Yeah,

242
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, if you go to a convenience store and

243
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: you're behind the guy that has the little plastic sleeve

244
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: organizer of his lottery tickets, you know that you are

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: you might as well pack a lunch because that guy's

246
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean. And additionally you should give him the one

247
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine with it number. But I have

248
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: a theory here that I thought about. Now hear me

249
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: out on this. Okay, all right? The power ball is

250
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: an amazing thing because it is now. You know, it

251
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: was one point three billion and it's now one point

252
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: seven billion, and that'll go up a little bit, I

253
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: would imagine, because there will be this flurry of people

254
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: to go buy tickets. But if you really think about it,

255
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: how many people live in the United States? Is it

256
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: four hundred million? Sure, three hundred and eighty five million

257
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: on in a guess, but it's probably a little b

258
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: higher than I'm going to say four hundred million. And

259
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't need people sending me the comments are you're

260
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: talking legally early? Okay, three hundred and forty million, three

261
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: hundred forty two million. Okay, say three hundred fifty million

262
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: to play it safe. Okay. So if three hundred and

263
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: fifty million people live in the United States and not

264
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: all of them are eighteen, so of that three hundred

265
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: and fifty million, like two hundred million of which are

266
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: well probably more than that three hundred million of which

267
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: are eligible to buy a powerball ticket. And if it's

268
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: that much money, and it went up, say four hundred

269
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: and fifty, that that means that four hundred and fifty

270
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: million tickets were sold. So that means that probably two

271
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: hundred million people bought one, maybe one hundred one in

272
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: every three people in the United States had a ticket yesterday.

273
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: And yet the winning combination still was one that had

274
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: not been selected. That shows you how astronomical the odds are.

275
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: But Eddie, here is my thought on how you if

276
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: you are the Indianapolis Colts of powerball players, here's how

277
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: you cataput yourself into super Bowl status. Here's how you

278
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: play chess while everybody else is playing checkers. And I

279
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: had this epiphany like a week ago, and then I thought,

280
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: maybe I need to play this smart and not share it.

281
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: But I'm a caring guy. I'm a sharing guy, and

282
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to give my little tip to the world.

283
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Here are you ready, I'm ready, Jake, lay it on me.

284
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Let's just say, give me five numbers, Eddie, off top

285
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: of your head, just give me one through fifty eight.

286
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Give me five numbers, fifty four, yep, thirty seven, twelve, yep,

287
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: and eleven. Okay, at five numbers, you've got one more

288
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: to go here, three and give me a number one

289
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: through fifty eight. Now boom forty forty. So let's say

290
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: you pick those numbers. Those are your winning numbers right there.

291
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people go and they buy a

292
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: power ball ticket. Now hear me out here, people are saying,

293
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: this is a sports talk radio show. Why is this

294
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: guy's talking about the power ball. I'll tell you why.

295
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: Because my brain works differently sometimes and I think I'm

296
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: out of my mind and I think I'm crazy, and

297
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: then I start crunching down and I go, you know what,

298
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: I think. I Actually I might have figured out and

299
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: cracked the code. I might to crack the code that

300
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: got the Indianapolis Colts, for example, because they're trying to

301
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: crack the code. They're trying to crack the code from

302
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: being a seven to nine team, or seven to ten team,

303
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: I should say, to a ten and seven team. Everybody's

304
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: trying to crack the code this time of year. And

305
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: we're going to get into plenty of that over the

306
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: course of today, including with Chris Perkins on how Miami's

307
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: trying to crack the code the numbers. But here's the deal.

308
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Look at the college football playoff. They wanted more interest,

309
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: they wanted more they wanted more teams to feel involved,

310
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: so they expanded from four to twelve teams. They've done

311
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: this in you know, Major League Baseball. They started working

312
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: in They want more teams to have a chance and

313
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: feel numerically statistically like they've got a shot later in

314
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: the year. So they came up with the wild card

315
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: play in game and those sorts of things. So now

316
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you get five teams instead of

317
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: two that are eligible in late September. So those numbers

318
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: that you gave me, Eddie, now hear me out. Hearing

319
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: you out. If you're gonna go and you're gonna spend

320
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: ten dollars on the power ball, okay, that would buy

321
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: you five tickets. By the way, instead of going and

322
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: saying I want five quick draw purchases and getting five

323
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: different combinations, you're better off using the same five numbers

324
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: and buying five tickets with the same five numbers on it.

325
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: Explain how that is makes sense? Please? You are by

326
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: going with more tickets, you are changing your odds of

327
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: actually hitting the power ball in an infantile I mean

328
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: one one hundred thousandth of a percentage. Okay, But if

329
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: you come up with the winning combination, let's say fifty

330
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: four to thirty seven to twelve eleven three is the

331
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: winning combo with a powerball of forty your numbers, Eddie Garrison. Okay, Okay.

332
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: Now let's just say that a computer randomly spit that

333
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: out to a guy in Pokatella, Idaho as well. Oh,

334
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: you could have picked anywhere, and you picked Pokatella, Idaho.

335
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: So now you have two because this happens where you

336
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: hear that the grand prize was split amongst two or

337
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: eight people or whatever. Two tickets were sold. There were

338
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: two tickets sold with the winning numbers. Okay. If the

339
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: prize is let's say eight hundred million dollars after taxes

340
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: and everything else, and there are two winners, you each

341
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: get four hundred million, right, Okay. But if you have

342
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: used that number commindation to buy yourself five tickets, there

343
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: are now six winning tickets, of which you own five

344
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: of them. So if each person is to get sixteen

345
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: point six percent, that guy in Pokatella now instead of

346
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: fifty percent, now is getting sixteen point six percent the

347
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: prize and you are getting eighty four point four percent.

348
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: You just increased your winnings. Yeah, but it's also way

349
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: more risky. More risky because you're using the five same numbers. Okay,

350
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: you're only giving yourself one chance of winning, Versus if

351
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: you've got five different combinations, you have five winning are one.

352
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Your chances go from one in three hundred and twenty

353
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: eight million, nine hundred and sixty five thousand, two hundred

354
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: and thirty seven to one in three hundred and eighty

355
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: five million, nine hundred and sixty seven thousand, two hundred

356
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: and forty or two hundred and thirty two or whatever

357
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: you are not. The percentage odds you increase yourself with

358
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: five different number combinations is offset by the fact that

359
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: you're winning. You are giving yourself a better percentage of

360
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: a larger slice of the pie. I'm just telling you

361
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: right now, there are people listening to my voice that

362
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: are like, I tuned in to hear about the Colts,

363
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: and I tuned into here and I'm and I'm mind blowing.

364
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: This guy's a genius. That's what they're saying to themselves.

365
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: This guy's a gen I think I don't think they're

366
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: saying that you want to bet. No, there are people

367
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: that are saying right now, I guarantee you you know what,

368
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I'd never thought of it that way, But you are

369
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: in show yourself that if your number hits you get

370
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: a you are guaranteeing a larger slice of the pie

371
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: in the event that somebody else also has the same combo. Yeah,

372
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: your pie, Your slice of the pie in terms of

373
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: your winnings may be bigger, Jake, but your margin of

374
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: error is infinitely smaller. If you're using the same five numbers.

375
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: You're if you have five tickets and use the same

376
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: five numbers, right your your slice of the pie is bigger.

377
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: But Eddie, what I'm saying to you is the odds

378
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: are so ridiculously insane. I'll put it to you this way.

379
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: Every single person in the United States is lined up

380
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna pick. They're gonna say they're gonna pick

381
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: a winner. Would you rather say, Okay, I want like

382
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: the chance to get denied three times, or or if

383
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: you win, it is guaranteed that you're going to get

384
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: a larger percentage. I mean, that's that's basical what it

385
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: comes down to. So let me ask you this jake

386
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: to kind of you know, make it in and then

387
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: we'll get back in and talk to sports to link

388
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: it back to sports. Every year you do, you know

389
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: that as soon as the previous season ends, you make

390
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: futures bets on the Super Bowl? Right, you put like

391
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: a dollar two dollar like you for instance, you put

392
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: a dollar two dollars down on random teams doing the

393
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you have like you know, five eight

394
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: times or whatever. Right, Why would you do that when

395
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: you can put multiple bets on the same team because

396
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: this is the same thing. Good question. It's not because

397
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: the winning, Because the winnings are dependent you are the payout.

398
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: In terms of the way that you say it, it

399
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: has to do with again, if you had eight hundred million, okay,

400
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: would you rather if you hit if you hit an

401
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred million dollar winner and you don't know if

402
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: there's another winner out there, and there's the possibility that

403
00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: there is, would you rather have the guarantee that the

404
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: maximum now that your ticket is worth is four hundred million,

405
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: or the maximum that your ticket is worth is seven

406
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: hundred and ten million. At that point jkllion seven hundred million,

407
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I'd rather have more chances at winning the four hundred

408
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: million than you know, one chance at the seven hundred million.

409
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: This from aj you are a genius. I agree. I'm

410
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: a numbers guy, but I never looked at the power

411
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: ball that way. You are brilliant. See I told you.

412
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: I told you Jakie's a genius but also an idiot.

413
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Okay, I read an article from a

414
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: mathematician who said, unless you buy ten percent of all

415
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: the tickets, your chances of winning does not go up.

416
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: If you buy more than one. Exactly, I'm not talking

417
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: about increasing your chances of percentage of winning. I'm talking

418
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: about I'm not talking about increasing your chances of winning.

419
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about increasing the pot if you do win. Yeah,

420
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: you increase the pot if you win. If you win

421
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: and you're if those numbers, if you're the only person

422
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: that purchased those numbers, then good. You get a one

423
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: hundred percent guaranteed. But if somebody else has bought a ticket,

424
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: you now have shaved their percentage from fifty percent to

425
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: ten percent, and you get the rest or tan depending

426
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: on how many tickets you buy. With that combination. That's

427
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. How does Jake sleep at night with

428
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: his mind wandering like? This is what somebody texted under

429
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: the listen it's not easy. And then somebody else said

430
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: that we needed to I think it was Gary that

431
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: says we need somebody needs to go into a statistics class.

432
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: I taxed my brother. He's taking his stat class right now.

433
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: No no, no, no no no no no no no.

434
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Everybody needs to listen to what I'm saying. See, people

435
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: don't listen to what I'm saying. I'm going to be

436
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard here.

437
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 3: I mean.

438
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: See, that's the thing, Like, you're not listening to what

439
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not talking about your chances of actually

440
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: the combination winning. Your chance is with if you buy

441
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: if you buy fifty tickets or you buy five hundred tickets,

442
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: your chances are still astronomically slim of winn. What I'm

443
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: saying is I hate to break your heart, Jake. I

444
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: just looked this up. You cannot win the Power Bawl

445
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: with the same multiple tickets. You can't have the same

446
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: number on multiple tickets. Why not? That's the Power Bowl rules.

447
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: I would disagree. Ticket must have a unique set of numbers.

448
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: You can play multiple draws. Well, that's each ticket has

449
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: to be separate. Yeah, you would have to buy them

450
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: on separate tickets. Correct, You would have to go in

451
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: you do the scratch off right where you fill it.

452
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, they have a little thing where you fill

453
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: them out. But you can't choose the same number. Yes,

454
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: you can, just with the rule state. Okay. What I'm

455
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: saying to what it is saying is on the same ticket,

456
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: you can't. But Eddie, you can go to village pantry

457
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: and buy a ticket with your numbers there and then

458
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: go across the street to seven to eleven and buy

459
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: your ticket with those same numbers. And you do only

460
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: get one winning ticket. It doesn't take both. And power

461
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: ball only would take one, not both. But okay, that's

462
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: where then you give it to your mom, and then

463
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: you give one to your dad, and you give one

464
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: to your sister. What I'm saying to you is because

465
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: there are there are power balls where most you know

466
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: you see it, where like the seven people like you know,

467
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: here's a guy, here's a waitress from des Moines and

468
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: an insurance salesman from DeLand, and they both won the

469
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: power ball they want. They both had the winning combination

470
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: that that is pot and so therefore you you increase

471
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: the pot that you the percentage that you'd get. That's

472
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. When we come back, there was a

473
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: conversation that took place, not about the powerball numbers, but

474
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: is it a powerball grab? What are the statistic odds

475
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: that in fact there is now trust between the agent

476
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: of Anthony Richardson and Anthony richards Richardson himself remember and

477
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: the Colts, I should say, because remember Anthony Richardson's agent

478
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: said that there was a decreased trust between his client

479
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: and the Colts organization. But there was a conversation that

480
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: had did they hash it out and what does it mean?

481
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: And are we grasping at powerball numbers on the possibility

482
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: of this all having a happy ending. I will explain

483
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: that and let you know what they said next. So

484
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson was drafted number four by the Colts. Stop

485
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: me if you've heard that before. You know the history.

486
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: And then this year when they brought in quarterbacking competition

487
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, and like I said, and I'm going

488
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: to stick by this and I will die on this hill,

489
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: that when they brought in Daniel Jones for the quarterbacking competition.

490
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken was looking for growth in from Richardson, having

491
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the velocity of the football or

492
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: the way that he is hitting targets in the intermediary

493
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: or in the flat, or the way it Shane Stiken

494
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: brought in Daniel Jones and Chris Ballard brought in Daniel

495
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Jones and hoping that and hoping that it would increase

496
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacking awareness of Anthony Richardson. And by quarterbacking awareness, I

497
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: just mean reading the room. I want to make clear

498
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: again as I say each and every time, and do

499
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: I need to say this each and every time, Yes,

500
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: because there's the possibility that each and every time there's

501
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: somebody listening who did not hear it in the prior.

502
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't know Anthony Richardson on a personal level. I

503
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: have no personal opinion of him other than in other words,

504
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: I have no opinion of him about his personality, other

505
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: than the understanding and assumption that he is a nice

506
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: young guy who has never done It's not like he

507
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: has done some horrifically you know, immature or irresponsible things

508
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: in terms of his conduct, his approach, any of those things.

509
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe any of that about him.

510
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: I think he is a young quarterback who was incredibly

511
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: gifted physically, with his body size, his arm strength, his speed,

512
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: all of those things, and the combination of not having

513
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: the same resources as a lot of quarterbacks at a

514
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: young age and not having to necessarily go through the

515
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: rigors of building a quarterback because he was naturally built

516
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: that way. Those things caused him to be an incredibly

517
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: naive young quarterback. I don't mean naive in the fact

518
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: that like he assumed that everything was handed to him.

519
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean naive in terms of understanding how to read

520
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: a defense, Naive in terms of understanding how to anticipate

521
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: the reactions or timing of teammates in the huddle. You know,

522
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: all of those things. And I think the Colts were

523
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: waiting for all of that to develop, for that maturity,

524
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: for the adolescence to take place. They were waiting for

525
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: the no longer having like the pimples that a quarterback has,

526
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: and having you know, the clearer skin, and not having

527
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: to wear the head gear anymore because his teeth were

528
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: finally straight, all the awkward things you go through as

529
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 1: a teenager. The Colts were waiting for him to go

530
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: through that as a quarterback. And it didn't happen in

531
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: the time, not necessarily completely the fault of Anthony Richardson.

532
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: He got hurt. There were a number of things in play,

533
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen in the timing that they were

534
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: hoping for. And so Daniel Jones is your starter. And

535
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: when that took place, when they announced Daniel Jones, then

536
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: his agent, who I think there's a little bit of

537
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: naivete here as well. His agent, and I believe it's

538
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: pronounced Derek de ri c Derek Jackson, who deals with

539
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: and represents a lot of players in predominantly the floor

540
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: from the Florida area. He came out and and said, hey, listen.

541
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, in a in an interview with Steven Holder,

542
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: he came out saying that they were questioning the trust

543
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: that Anthony Richardson and that he as the agent, could

544
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: have in the Colts, and that that was potentially a

545
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: fractured relationship because of the fact that Richardson was kind

546
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: of told and groomed for one thing and then all

547
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden they brought somebody else in and boom,

548
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: he loses the starting job. So with all of that said,

549
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has an article today where he

550
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: says that Ballard's agent in fact met with Chris Ballard

551
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: to clear the air. Richardson's agent met with Chris. What

552
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: did I say? I'm sorry? Ballard's agent sorry, Anthony Richardson's

553
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: agent met with Chris Ballard to clear the air. And

554
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: the Accent called the meeting quote very constructive and said

555
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: it was a chance for them to quote let feelings

556
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: be known. Now, this is what's interesting. Though a trade

557
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: was not requested, the topic was broached in the meeting.

558
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: Ballard reinforced that the Colts have no plans to trade

559
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Richardson and that they still believe in the quarterback. It

560
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: does go on, Fowler says to say that Richardson is

561
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: not making any sort of you know, he's not being

562
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: a distraction at all. He's being professional. He's doing the

563
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: things that he needs to do is to back up

564
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and he himself, and this is true. Richardson himself

565
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: has come out and said that he knew that he

566
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: needed to be more mature, he needed to be a

567
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: better leader. He has said those things that he needed

568
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: to grow in certain areas the helmet tap was one

569
00:31:53,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: that was clearly a tipping point Shane Steichen when he

570
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: took himself out of the game and said, you know,

571
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: I was just tired. I gotta admit it. But what's

572
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: interesting is his agent then reinforced in this conversation apparently

573
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: that they don't think that the end chapter has been

574
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: written because Richardson still has a chance to play this season. Situationally,

575
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: if things come up, and by all accounts, statistically speaking,

576
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks in the NFL do get plenty of opportunity

577
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: to get into a game, especially with somebody like Daniel Jones,

578
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: you know who knows what takes place in that right.

579
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: His ad that all parties are aware that they need

580
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: more patients when Richardson from the time that Richardson was drafted,

581
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: and that patience that they preached they didn't necessarily give

582
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: to him, or that he hasn't had the proper time

583
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: to develop based on the timeline. That was an understanding

584
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: when he came in, and I think actually the agent

585
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: is correct in that. But when the agent said, and

586
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to what I said at

587
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: the time when Derek Jackson came out and said, we

588
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: have a hard time now trusting the Colts because they

589
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: selected Daniel Jones when Richardson was doing the things they

590
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: asked him to do in the off season. The problem

591
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: is that they and I said it. Then the problem

592
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: all began because the Colts trusted Richardson too much too early.

593
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: They handed it in the m keys before he was

594
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: ready for it, and they determined him the starter a

595
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: month into the deal. And so they were saying to him,

596
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: we trust you, we trust you're going to grow on

597
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: the job, we trust you're going to learn on the job.

598
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: We trust it. Even though we're giving you the keys

599
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: to the kingdom, you are still going to learn your

600
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: way into the position. And then once Richardson didn't do

601
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: that and the timing that they liked, they took the

602
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: keys back. And so Derek Jackson is saying, well, we

603
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: can't trust them now. But the problem is that trusted

604
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: him too much too early, and there has to be

605
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: a happy medium there where now they can't come out

606
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: and say we can't trust you. It also, Daniel Jones

607
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: is our guy. There has to be a balance there,

608
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: and maybe this conversation helps ease that balance, helps find

609
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: that happy range, helps finds that medium between the two,

610
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes conversations like that are a good thing. But

611
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: in this situation, I still believe, and I may be

612
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: totally wrong in this, but I still believe that the Colts,

613
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: deep down, if you put truth serum in them, they're

614
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: saying all the right things, they're doing all the right things,

615
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: they're presenting all the right things. But I think deep

616
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 1: down they believe that Richardson is not the long term guy,

617
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: or else they would there is zero reason. They're the

618
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: only reason that Anthony Richardson is not starting on Sunday

619
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. The only reason you would not

620
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: start him is because you just don't believe it's going

621
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: to be there. Otherwise you would if you thought there

622
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: was an inkling of a chance that he's going to

623
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: be the guy, you would start him. But they can't

624
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: come out and say that because if in fact, and

625
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: I know the Colts, and I'm probably maybe I'll be

626
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: proven totally wrong in this. Maybe I'll be proven totally

627
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: wrong in this. But when the Colts come out and

628
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: say we have no interest in trading Anthony Richardson, of

629
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: course they're gonna say that. Of course they're gonna say

630
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: that because if they in fact are if Daniel Jones

631
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: shows any competence oncesoever and has a Sam Darnold type year,

632
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: even if that doesn't mean that Jones is their long

633
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: term guy, and they know that they've got to proceed

634
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: with caution there. But if Daniel Jones has a year

635
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: where he's going to be playing the majority of snaps

636
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, now you've stunted even

637
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: further Anthony Richardson getting that necessary seat time. And I

638
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: know he's a young guy, but he needs reps, and

639
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: if you're not giving him those reps, you have to

640
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: then present it as we're not giving him the reps

641
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: because we're keeping him under bubble wrap, because we're telling

642
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: when we unleash this guy, I mean, Katie bar the door. No,

643
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: in reality, they're doing that, and they can't come out

644
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 1: and say we're kind of done with this dude, because

645
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: then if you do want to move on from him,

646
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: if you do find yourself in a position where it's

647
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: in your best interest to move on from him, you

648
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: have to have some value out out of him. You

649
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: can't if you know that your neighbor has a car

650
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: that he's been working on in the garage and you

651
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: see him out there working on it every single day,

652
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: but he never drives it. And then finally one day

653
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: there's a for sale sign on it. You're like, this

654
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: guy's looking to get rid of this car. I'm going

655
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: to make a hell of an offer here on my behalf.

656
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: But if you see him and occasionally driving it around

657
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: and he looks happy, and you're like, you know what,

658
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I probably I'm going have to offer him a little

659
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: more money because I like that car. But that's the

660
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: situation they're in. I'm glad they talked it out. I'm

661
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: glad they to that happy median that will allow because

662
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: you don't want We've seen it in this town in

663
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: the past. Been a long time since this has happened,

664
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: but we've seen it where the starting quarterback and the

665
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: starting franchise quarterback and then the backup quarterback where there's

666
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: a friction and a tension between them. It does not

667
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: go well. It does not end well, and you have

668
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: to make you know, you've got all parties got to

669
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: come together and say and I commend them for saying.

670
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: Richardson so far has been the adult in the room

671
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean, you know what I mean. That's

672
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: a good thing. But I'm glad they talked it out.

673
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: But we'll see what comes from it. Let's put it

674
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: that way. Are you still confused by my lottery thing.

675
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: I was never confused. Okay, fair enough. We'll see if

676
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: will Power by the way breaks away from his carting

677
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: to join us coming up here at just about one

678
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: o'clock later on the program. I am curious. The Dolphins

679
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: are an intriguing openings because they're one of those teams

680
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: that I always think are a good benchmark. But I

681
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: think there might be some big time turmoil going on

682
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: in Miami that is good news for Indianapolis to start

683
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: the year off. This might be lining up for the

684
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: Colts favorably as they work their way into the water

685
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: here of the NFL season. The water might be a

686
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: little warmer in the beginning than when you first jump

687
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: in and it's ice cold and there's a shock to

688
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: your system. They might be getting in Miami an opportunity

689
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: to snap that skid of eleven straight seasons without an

690
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: opening win. But we will find out coming up bottom

691
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: of the one o'clock hour, we'll go down to Miami

692
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: and we will talk to a beatriter for the Dolphins

693
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: about some of the challenges they might have or challenges

694
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: they might present for Indianapolis Eddie Tonight's game between the

695
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Eagles. Correct, that is accurate. Yes, your

696
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: level of excitement for this game on a one to ten,

697
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: ten being the most one being the least ten. Really well,

698
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: I'm just got the NFL's back, and I get it

699
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles, you know, I totally get it, and I

700
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: get the rivalry as well between the Cowboys and Eagles.

701
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: But if I could be the old man yelling at

702
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: clouds here, can I just simply say this, when are

703
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: we going to quit doing this about Dallas doing what

704
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: every year? When don't we get to pick? Okay, when

705
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: are we going to quit pretending that Dallas is a

706
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: premier competitive franchise? Great question. I get that the Cowboys

707
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: are America's team. I totally get it. And if you

708
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: go down there, there's something about them. It is interesting.

709
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: There's something about the Cowboys. I don't think they're America's

710
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: team anymore, Jake, I do. Who would you say it is?

711
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: Who is the It's great, there's a weird caveat here,

712
00:39:53,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: But who would you say, who is America's team? Kansas City? No,

713
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: totally disagree. I mean, sure, they're of the last eight years,

714
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: they've had the best run, and they've got the most

715
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: exciting player, and they have Taylor Swift fair. Okay, that's fair,

716
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: that's a good point. But I don't think that how

717
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: many people do you know that? And maybe people with

718
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: kids would disagree with me here, But do you think

719
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of young kids that have now

720
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: become like huge Chiefs fans? Yes? So you think Kansas

721
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: City is when you say they're America's team, you think

722
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: in ten years after Patrick Mahomes retires that they're America's team.

723
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: To me, means means beyond an era. Like you could

724
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: say the Patriots were America's team when Brady was there

725
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: because they were winning Super Bowls and they were. But

726
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: how many people loved the Patriots. I don't know how

727
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: many people love the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs to me,

728
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs are the Golden State Warriors of

729
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: the NFL. They had when they first broke through. They

730
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: were so transcendently different in their high flying style and

731
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: their unpredictability and the wow factor of their plays that

732
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: they were must see TV. But then there was this

733
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: fatigue factor where the things that people loved about Patrick Mahomes,

734
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: the kind of lase fair, the mouthpiece hanging out, you know,

735
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: those things, the things that people loved about them, Eventually

736
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: there is a fatigue factor where people are like, I'm

737
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: just so tired of this guy. And it happened a

738
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: little bit with Steph Curry. Now Curry has come back

739
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: the other way and is back to being, but don't

740
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: forget there was a brief window there with Steph Curry

741
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: where the shoulder shimmy and the mouthpiece out and the

742
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: things like that. People got kind of fatigued over it.

743
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: Kids loved the guy. I get it, and he's a

744
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: very good role model. And then when he did the

745
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: sleep in the Olympics and that sort of thing that

746
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: put them, that put him back where he's a beloved

747
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: figure again. But there was a fatigue factor that settled

748
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: in for certain, And I think that we're in the

749
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: fatigue aspect of the Chiefs. The Taylor Swift thing is

750
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: a very good point by you, But I don't think

751
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: they're America's team, because America's team means generationally one that

752
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: if you Eddie were I'll put it to you this way,

753
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: This is the best way of saying it. If you

754
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: were awarded a franchise for lids or hat World or

755
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: whatever it's called. Okay, and you know what, I'll take

756
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: that out of it. We're gonna call it. We're not

757
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna bring them in since you know, they're an actual, legitimate,

758
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: established business. So we're just gonna call it, you know,

759
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: Eddie's Hats. Okay. So you're you have a franchise called

760
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: Eddie's Hats, and you're gonna be able to sell hats,

761
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, and you've got to open it up and

762
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: give me a city in Middle Earth America that does

763
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: not have any professionals, any pro sports at all. Tulsa Okay. Okay,

764
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: Well I'm gonna say Tulsa is a bad example because

765
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: it's close to Dallas. We'll go Toketel. I was gonna say, Pocatelo,

766
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: pokatela Idaho. Okay. So you've got to open Eddie's Hats

767
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: in Pocatella, and you get to pick three NFL teams

768
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: to stock their hats, only three for and you get

769
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 1: to redo this in twenty years. You get to pick

770
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: three teams, and you're gonna be able to sell those

771
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: three franchises for twenty years. You cannot reorder for another

772
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: twenty years. You have to pick three franchises that are

773
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna make you the most money. Putting your personal bias aside,

774
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: you're rooting interests aside of whatever else. Give me the

775
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: three teams that you believe will make you the most money. Okay,

776
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: I gotta think hard here. Another show ins at three.

777
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: I still believe Kansas City would be one. I think um,

778
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: Dan Bay Packers, Pittsburgh steel Is, Dallas Cowboys. Yeah right, okay,

779
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: I'll give you the Packers. Yeah, okay, Green Bay, Kansas

780
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: City shows over at three. Give me another one. It's

781
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. It just is. I don't it's the

782
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys because of the star logo, because of the

783
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: blue and silver, because of the cheerleaders, the reality show

784
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: about the cheerleaders, all of it. It's the Dallas Cowboys.

785
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers have a huge following because of

786
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: the you know the obvious reasons. Right, they're publicly owned.

787
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: Everybody loves that. They're a small market. YadA, YadA, YadA.

788
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City right now, no question about it. But think

789
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: about this, if you would have answered that same question

790
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago and said, Indianapolis Colts, I'm doing in

791
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Indianapolis Colts because Peyton Manning's there,

792
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison's there, Reggie Wayne's there, Edrin James is there,

793
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney is there, Robert Mathis is there. So you

794
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: picked the Indiapolis Colts, then right now, there's no way

795
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: you're renewing the Colts. But if you picked the Dallas

796
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys twenty years ago, you would still be renewing the Cowboys.

797
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: And if you picked the Cowboys years ago, you would

798
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: still be renewing the Cowboys. My point being they are

799
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: America's team for the glitz and glamour of it, but

800
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: they haven't won. When's the last time they were in

801
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: a conference championship? Twenty nine years? Jake, that's like part

802
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: of me and we have different age it's a different

803
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: age demographic here. But like to me, the Dallas Cowboys

804
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: star isn't what the Dallas Cowboys star once meant. Maybe,

805
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: like I think it's lost its it's the lore to it.

806
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: Who did the NFL pick to play the Super Bowl

807
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 1: champions on the opening night. Well, it's a divisional rival.

808
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: I understood. They didn't pick the Giants, no biggest media

809
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: market in the world. They didn't pick the Commanders, bright

810
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: promising young quarterback, Nation's capital, new ownership, great season last year.

811
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: Last year they picked the Eagles in the Packers that

812
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: was after? Was that Kansas City, Buffalo, Kansas City. Well,

813
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: they usually have one of the final four teams from

814
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: the previous year. That's in there right. My point being,

815
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: we're kind of agreeing on the same thing though, because

816
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, like from a competitive standpoint, when are

817
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: we going to quit doing this with Dallas? I get

818
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: the fact that their marketing brand is the biggest in

819
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: the NFL. It probably is. It just is, whether you

820
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: like it or not. But when are we gonna quit

821
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: doing it? In terms of, you know, the Micah Parsons situation,

822
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: that was a bigger story because it's the Dallas Cowboys,

823
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: and I realize he's one of the best defensive players

824
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. But if the exact same

825
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: drama had been going on and he was trying to

826
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: get his way traded out of Atlanta or traded out

827
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: of Green even Green Bay or traded out of Denver.

828
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: It is not near as big a story as it

829
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: is because it is the Dallas Cowboy. And here's the

830
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: other thing that I took into consideration with the whole

831
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty years thing Jake is Jerry Jones isn't going to

832
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: be around for much longer. Like, does his son have

833
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: the same level of cachet and you know fan interest

834
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: that Jerry has, Yeah, the same that just the overall

835
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: public persona. Yes, fair, fair, but I but what I'm

836
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 1: saying is Eddie that was in existence before Jerry Jones.

837
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: Though I mean, Jerry Jones might have taken it to

838
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: another level. But Jerry, the reason Jerry Jones bought the

839
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys is because they were already the established brand

840
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: of and yes, the TV show of the seventies had

841
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders

842
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it. Roger Stauback and

843
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: Tony Dorsett had a lot to do with it. And

844
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: this is all prehistoric stuff. I get it. I mean,

845
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: I totally understand it. But at the same time, it

846
00:47:52,360 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: is you know, I just I they are a massive brand,

847
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: and I just I'm like when are we When in

848
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 1: the world are we going to quit doing this? Will

849
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: Power has a new job and he left America's team

850
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: in the form of Racing Team Penske to go to

851
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Andretti Global. Was that his call? Was that something that

852
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: had been in the works for a while, and what

853
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: is it about Andretti Global. Now that he goes over

854
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: to Colton Herder's ride that entices him, we will find

855
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: out all of that from him as he joins us next.

856
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Our next guest has won more polls than any driver

857
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: in the history of the NTT IndyCar Series. He also

858
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: has won forty three races, the majority of those with

859
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: Roger Penske and Team Penske, but he would like to

860
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: add to that total because of course he now is

861
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: no longer with Team Penske, but stays in the series.

862
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: That news in the fact that Will Power is now

863
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: a member of Andretti Global and will drive the number

864
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: twenty six car that most recently was piloted by Colton

865
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: Herda and he joins us now on the always busy

866
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: and available for your company to sponsor guest line, will

867
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: How are you?

868
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 4: I'm doing well? Thank you? How are you?

869
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: I am good? And you know what, I'll tell you

870
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason that I'm good is because and

871
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad about it. You know, at the end

872
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: of the year in Milwaukee and in Nashville, I think

873
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: every time that we interviewed you, you know, everybody is

874
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: wanting to know the question of what's going to go

875
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: on with willpower. We had pretty good indication of what

876
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: was going to go on with Willpower, and yet we've

877
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: got to ask it, knowing that you can't necessarily say

878
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: what's going on with willpower? So how relieved are you

879
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: to just have kind of all of this over and

880
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: done and now being able to look forward.

881
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 4: It was a weight off my shoulders. Shure, it's actually

882
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 4: the go kart trail and there right now just having fun.

883
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 4: But I just felt a bit of a relief. So yeah,

884
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 4: it was probably subconsciously weighing on me, and I was

885
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 4: getting a lot of questions about it just and just

886
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 4: sort of you know, the stress was wondering exactly how

887
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 4: is this going to play out? Is it going to

888
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 4: go easily? You know, the transition, and it has gone

889
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 4: very smoothly. So yeah, you know, I'm very very excited

890
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: for the future.

891
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: When did this will I mean, obviously this domino felt

892
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: quick and we knew it was going to And then

893
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: it was not long after the announcement from Team Penske

894
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: that you would not return, that you were announced for

895
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: Endreddy Global. So when did this all kind of get underway?

896
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: When was the first time that you thought about the

897
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: fact that you would not be with Team Penske, And

898
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: when was the first conversation you had with Andready.

899
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 4: Well, it's it has been let's say, you know, definitely

900
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 4: from May onwards, I was starting to you know, think, well,

901
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 4: you know, maybe maybe I'm going to have to draw

902
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 4: somewhere else or get another ride. The goal was to

903
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 4: resign with Panske. That was kind of you know, I'd

904
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 4: been there seventeen years and had great success. I love

905
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 4: the team and the people. Roger's been great to me.

906
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 4: And you know, I think after the conversation that I

907
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 4: had with Roger, you know, post Indianapolis, you know, he said,

908
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 4: I'm not going to shoot You've talked to other teams.

909
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you won't be in the car,

910
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 4: and actually, you know, I'm allowing you to see what's

911
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 4: out there. So at that point, you know, when he

912
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 4: said that I thought, Okay, you know they're looking at

913
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 4: going in a different direction. There's a chance here that

914
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 4: I'm not going to go to Pansy. So then we

915
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 4: started looking around and I would say just about every

916
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 4: team owner and the pit lane spoke to me, but

917
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 4: for Andretti that sort of came together very quickly at

918
00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 4: the end. Yeah. I think the first conversation was that

919
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 4: Road America just sort of in passing saw down on

920
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 4: a golf cart and said, oh, you know what, I'd

921
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 4: I'd love to drive for you. And you know, they

922
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 4: didn't really have anything at that point, but you know,

923
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 4: then it probably got the wheels turning for Dan and

924
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 4: you know, there's an opportunity for Colton to go somewhere,

925
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 4: and then that set opened up. So yeah, and then

926
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: the whole process went very smoothly. So and that you know,

927
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 4: when we spoke about it, when I signed up to

928
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 4: a four team management at the beginning of the year,

929
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 4: we thought, the most likely thing to happen is that

930
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 4: Roger does sign me for a year or you know,

931
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 4: probably just a year, because that's kind of you know

932
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 4: that that's sort of the trend that Penske has followed

933
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 4: over the years. With the drivers that are a bit older.

934
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 4: But you know, but the ideal place to end up

935
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 4: for us was Andretti. We actually said that, not that

936
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 4: there was anything open there when we were talking about that,

937
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 4: but we actually he said, Oriel said, you know, my

938
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 4: ideal place for you to end up would be at Andretti.

939
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 4: I agreed with him. So that's yeah, I agree. They're

940
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: a great team, you know, the they you know, Dan's

941
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 4: very obviously when I started talking to Dan and you know,

942
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 4: even cemented that more because he's he's very in touch

943
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 4: with what needs to be done in that team to

944
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 4: improve it. They're already winning races. I think Honda, as

945
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 4: you've seen this year, have a very good Angince. Yeah,

946
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 4: it was just but yeah, just you know, play it

947
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 4: out quite smoothly.

948
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: Actually, So Dan twis, by the way, is who Will

949
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: is referencing there, who is with originally with Group one

950
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: thousand and one and now is involved with the ownership

951
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: stakes within Andretti Global. So Will, if you would have decided,

952
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: for example, after that meeting with Roger Penske in May,

953
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: if if you would have woken up a month ago

954
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, I do want to give

955
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: another run with Tiam Penske. Here would that have been?

956
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: Was that offered to you? Was there the possibility from

957
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: their end of you returning to them next year?

958
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 4: Yes, I was offered to fly up and we never

959
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 4: got to that point. But after Portland, joth and Gibson

960
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 4: called me and said, hey, we'd like to fly you

961
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 4: up to Detroit to meet with Roger and talk about

962
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 4: your future, and you know, and I basically just said, look,

963
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not going to come back. I'm not

964
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 4: coming back. You know, I've made the decision of my mind.

965
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: And I kind of went from there. And Roger called

966
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 4: me a day later and said, yeah, look, we would

967
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 4: love to have negotiated with you, but you know, it

968
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 4: sounds like you made the decision. It was. You know,

969
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 4: Roger was fine with it, he understood, and you know

970
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 4: he he was. And I said, you know, I kind

971
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 4: of didn't want to go through the stress of another

972
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 4: single year of wondering what I'm doing the next year.

973
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 4: And also, you know, I got the feeling that you're

974
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 4: only going to offer me one year, and he said, yeah,

975
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 4: that's true. You know, I'm not going to lie to you.

976
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 4: We were going to ast you one year so yeah,

977
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 4: there was a chance to go back, but my mind

978
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 4: was made up. You know, it was just time for

979
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 4: a change and a different challenge. See if you can,

980
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, winning a different team. You know, I think

981
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 4: I like that. It's exciting for me, it's motivating.

982
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: Will power. My guest here, who will be driving for

983
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: Dreddi Global coming up in the twenty twenty six IndyCar season,

984
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: who will be in car number twenty six? Well, I

985
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: want to go back to this and I talked about

986
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: this because you have been and I commend you for it.

987
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: You and your wife Liz, both I think have been

988
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: pretty public about and it's well documented the health challenge

989
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: that she had and the balance that you had to

990
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: have between being husband and dad and race car driver,

991
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: and what I would assume was a difficult distraction for

992
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: the last few years as Liz at times her health

993
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 1: was in dire situation. Did that help you navigate this

994
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: process in terms of having an understanding of the realities

995
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: of what's truly important in life? And how did it all?

996
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: How did you weigh all of that out? Because you

997
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: you always just seem so kind of relaxed deep down inside?

998
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: Were you were you terrified?

999
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 4: I would never say terrified, but yeah, in twenty three

1000
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 4: obviously that it was a very stressful situation. Yeah, Liz's

1001
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 4: health has got a lot better. I don't think we

1002
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 4: were necessarily thinking of any of that. Yeah, I think, Yeah,

1003
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 4: my thinking was I'm late enough in my career. I'm

1004
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 4: not gonna say it's a risk that takes, you know,

1005
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 4: make a change, because it's not like it all all

1006
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 4: went back or just you know, you know, it just

1007
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 4: didn't seem like it seemed like that. You know, I

1008
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 4: knew in my gut basically, is what I'm trying to say,

1009
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 4: is I know him. I knew in my gut that

1010
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 4: it was time to move. You just know, at this age,

1011
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 4: just felt it like it's the right thing to do

1012
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 4: and it's the right time, and I just knew it

1013
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 4: in my gut. I just, you know, I trust that feeling.

1014
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 4: I sort of don't don't have a lot of indecision

1015
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 4: these days to kind of move forward quickly.

1016
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: Did some of the things that happened within the team

1017
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: factor at all. I mean I'm talking about like the

1018
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: push to pass thing, which you were pleadered of really,

1019
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: but you were kind of caught up in it in

1020
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: Saint Pete and then obviously this year at Indie having

1021
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: to start from the back. Did those things factor in?

1022
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 5: Nah?

1023
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 4: I think. I think having sort of two indy five

1024
00:57:53,240 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 4: hundreds affected by those things were disappointing. You know, my

1025
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 4: strategist taken off my car two years in a row,

1026
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 4: and definitely that first year it cost us, I think.

1027
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 4: But no, you know, they those things were not you know,

1028
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 4: they didn't. Yeah, as we've explained many times, there's unfortunate

1029
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 4: circumstances there. But it was obviously a lot of things

1030
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 4: go into it. You know, you just have a number

1031
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 4: of different things that sway your decisions, you know, as

1032
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 4: they add up. I wouldn't say that that wasn't one

1033
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 4: of them. It was sort of, you know, just just

1034
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 4: many things that went into that decision, and you know,

1035
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 4: and one of them was my gut, my gut feel

1036
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 4: for it. I think this is the right thing to do.

1037
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: Okay, last thing for you, will and I appreciate your time,

1038
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: will power joining us here. And I've made a living

1039
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: asking questions, and about seventy percent of the time I

1040
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: ask you a question, I think to myself, I think

1041
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: that might have been a dumb question, you know, what

1042
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, so this is probably a dumb question,

1043
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: And then I want you to tell me if it's

1044
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: a dumb question. In winning the five hundred with Roger

1045
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: Penske and in driving for Roger Pinsky and driving for that team,

1046
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: you have primarily been and had success with Chevrolet. You

1047
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: now will be going to a team that is kind

1048
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: of a flagship team for Honda. Theoretically, to those of

1049
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: us that drive cars, you don't really notice any difference

1050
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: of the engine underneath you as a driver. Will there

1051
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: be any sort of a different feel or different style

1052
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: or challenge for you as a driver with a Honda

1053
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: engine versus a Chevrolet engine.

1054
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 4: I'm sure there is a difference in the way those

1055
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 4: engines drive, you know. I think from the outset, the

1056
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 4: Chevy sort of I felt like always a really good

1057
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 4: top end. I think I've always thought that Honda has

1058
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 4: very sort of good blowish mid range, So I think

1059
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: there is a difference. So I think the performance is

1060
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 4: very cool and I'll get to feel that. You know,

1061
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 4: I can only sort of wonder what it feels like

1062
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 4: until I actually drive the car, So I would almost

1063
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 4: guarantee that will be a difference.

1064
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: So that wasn't a dumb question.

1065
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 4: That wasn't that wasn't a dumb question.

1066
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: But I've had some dumb questions, right yeah, I mean.

1067
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 4: You know, this whole interview has kind of been no good.

1068
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 4: You've got great questions, believe me, good, good, good questions

1069
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 4: they have been. I've I've definitely had dumb questions from

1070
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 4: people over the over my time. Yours have been great.

1071
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: So all right, so you're gonna go out and you're

1072
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: just going to get the go cart and drive around

1073
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: the track all day to day to just clear the

1074
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: mind and get back to the roots.

1075
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 4: Well, uh, there's actually names Davia Day for a He's

1076
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 4: Italian and it's like a five time world chance. I

1077
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 4: thought I'd come out and around with him just for fun.

1078
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 4: You know. Quality definitely a top level job is a

1079
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 4: bit of son for me.

1080
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: There you go. I mean, that's that is different than

1081
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 1: the way most of us will spend our off days.

1082
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: But listen, I know it's been a busy and flurry

1083
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: of activity here, a busy time for you, and I

1084
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate not only the time will but also the

1085
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: explanation from all of it. Our best to you, and

1086
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, to Liz as well and your son, and

1087
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: certainly look forward to seeing you coming up in Saint Pete.

1088
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 4: No good stuff, man, looking forward to it. It's going

1089
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 4: to be great.

1090
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Much appreciate it, will enjoy it.

1091
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1092
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: That is Will Power joining us on the program today.

1093
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Very interesting, especially the part about you know having known,

1094
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: and I was told that that it was around May

1095
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: when I think he just had idea and listen to

1096
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: further expand on that. You know, Power is a guy

1097
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: that came over. He was running for kV Technology and

1098
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: as a rookie kV Racing Technology. He's a native of Australia.

1099
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: You could probably tell there to Womba, Australia, which is

1100
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: a small town. I mentioned this earlier. And he his

1101
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: wife who grew up in Texas but went to high

1102
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: school here at Hamilton Southeastern. Liz was working for another

1103
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 1: team in pr when the two of them met and

1104
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: got married, had a child, and then as a matter

1105
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: of fact, I can't remember if it was just after,

1106
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: but I remember the two of them being together at

1107
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: a dinner that was held just after Dan Weldon's fatal injury.

1108
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: And Power was in a really tough spot in that

1109
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: because when that accident had happened. Will Power's car came

1110
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: to arrest kind of facing right towards Dan Weldon, and

1111
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Power told me that he had a back injury at

1112
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: that time, and that they believe his back was further

1113
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: injured because of the haste in which he tried to

1114
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: exit the car prematurely because he didn't want to have

1115
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: to look at what he was seeing, and the situation

1116
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: with Weldon. But at that time, I remember that was

1117
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: when he and Liz maybe they had just got married

1118
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: or were just you know, publicly together, but they were

1119
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: inseparable and they still are. And when the situation arose

1120
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: with her health scare, which I believe was a sepsis

1121
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: in her spinal fluid, I could be wrong in that,

1122
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: but I think that's what it was. It was very

1123
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: very serious her illness some three years ago, two years ago,

1124
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: and his ability and I don't know that a lot

1125
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of us knew what he was going through. And that

1126
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: kind of holds true this year as well, in terms

1127
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: of a guy that won until Joseph Nugarten's race at

1128
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the end of the year, you know, he had the

1129
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: only win for Penske this year and was remarkably consistent

1130
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: and always available. I mean, he's as you hear there,

1131
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that's how he is. He's kind of always laid back.

1132
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: But I think you have to think the world of

1133
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: his professionalism, his dedication, and his loyalty, his loyalty to

1134
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: that team and then ultimately his loyalty in the end

1135
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: to himself. But I certainly appreciate that that conversation. Now

1136
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: back to talking about Eddie. I did not realize this

1137
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: when we were talking about, you know, key key teams,

1138
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: and this is kind of what I'm talking about that's

1139
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: fascinating within the NFL. I do have one quick follow up, Jake, Okay,

1140
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: that's not uncommon, right, IndyCar for these conversations that you know,

1141
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: people of IndyCar and fans call it silly season, kind

1142
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of like quote unquote free agency in the NFL or NBA,

1143
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: That's not uncommon that drivers have conversations with other teams

1144
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: around the month of May because that's typically like the

1145
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: halfway point of the year. That's when most of the

1146
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: sponsors are in town and you have communication within. That's right,

1147
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: But a lot of times Eddie happens this way, and

1148
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: you see this a lot in business, right, your contract

1149
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: prohibits you from talking to a team, but it doesn't

1150
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: necessarily prohibit your you know, hey, I didn't talk to them,

1151
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Well your agent did, or your manager did, Oriel Servia

1152
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: is his business manager. Now, oh really yeah? And so

1153
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think you see things like that where

1154
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you know, let's there are as he

1155
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: talked about there then it was Road America. He just says, hey,

1156
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: you know what, like I'd like to talk to you

1157
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: guys and whatever else. And a guy like will Power

1158
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: with that resume, they're absolutely going to be open to

1159
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: that conversation. For certain. When we were talking about the

1160
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys and just their value in general, I didn't realize this, Eddie.

1161
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I knew that they were one of the highest valued

1162
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League, but what I didn't

1163
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: realize is that they are believed to be the most

1164
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 1: valuable sports franchise in the world of any sport, which

1165
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: when you consider soccer, is saying something thirteen billion dollars

1166
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: is the estimated value of the Dallas Cowboys. Now that

1167
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: is of significance. And let me tell you why. I

1168
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: just saw for example, and my apologies darn it that

1169
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember which franchise it was. I was just

1170
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: reading an article about another franchise in the NFL that

1171
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: had like a capital investment group that purchased I think

1172
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: ten or twelve percent of the of a franchise, and

1173
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember which franchise it was, and I apologize

1174
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,919
Speaker 1: for that, but it was not a groundbreaking It wasn't

1175
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, It wasn't the you know, the New York Giants.

1176
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: It might actually now I think it might have been.

1177
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: It was the New York Giants. So that is a

1178
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: big time market. So it was the New York Giants,

1179
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. There was the Cook or Coke

1180
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: I believe it's Coke family bought into I think eleven

1181
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: or twelve percent of the New York Giants. And that

1182
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: is of significance. And I'll tell you why. The the

1183
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: fascinating thing to me about the National Football League is

1184
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: we get set tonight to start another season. Is the

1185
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: value of these franchises now? And this is good news

1186
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: for the Colts. This is good news what I'm about

1187
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: to say for the Cityapolis. In my opinion, the bober

1188
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: Say purchased the Baltimore Colts, I believe, and he actually

1189
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: purchased the Los Angeles Rams, and I believe it was

1190
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: for nineteen million dollars. Now think about that, the Los

1191
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams in a market like Los Angeles. He purchased

1192
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams for nineteen million dollars and then

1193
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: he ended up trading the franchise for the Baltimore Colts,

1194
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: Bob Sai did. But the point I'm trying to make

1195
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: here is, yes, that was some what sixty five or

1196
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: whatever years ago, but even still, the valuation in when

1197
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I say valuation, I mean the estimate of value from

1198
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: just like your property taxes when the government tells you

1199
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: what your home should sell for and therefore that establishes

1200
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: your property taxes. The valuation of a team is done

1201
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: in the event of a sale or in the event

1202
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: of a transfer of ownership. The valuation is done in

1203
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: inheritance purposes for an inheritance tax of what the new

1204
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: owners would owe. So, for example, and I don't know

1205
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: the exact and nobody knows the exact how it was

1206
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: set into place, how the wheels were put in motion.

1207
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: Here in terms of what they want to do for

1208
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: the valuation of the Indianapolis Colts. Now in terms of

1209
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 1: the daughters in owing any sort of an inheritance tax.

1210
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Was that already done? Was there stuff put in place previously?

1211
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: Jim mersees passing was unexpected to a great extent, So

1212
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't like they knew like a time period of

1213
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: you know, we have to have this. That's all a

1214
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 1: gray area, I realize. But in the old days, and

1215
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: when I say the old days, I mean twenty years ago,

1216
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: when a franchise was sold, oftentimes it was an individual purchaser.

1217
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, Daniel Snyder when he bought the Thin Redskins,

1218
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: he was an individual owner. He had made a bunch

1219
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: of money through I think it was, you know, the

1220
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: FedEx or an auxiliary thereof, along with his sister, and

1221
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: so he wanted to own a team, and so he

1222
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: bought a team. And then by the time he sold it,

1223
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: there's only like three individuals on planet Earth that can

1224
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: just write you a check for ten billion dollars. I mean,

1225
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: there's more than that, I realized, but you get what

1226
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's a very small number of people. And

1227
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: so we are now at the point where these franchises,

1228
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: in terms of the ownership, are almost entirely sold to

1229
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: large investment conglomerates as opposed to an individual, a wealthy

1230
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: individual or multiple wealthy individuals. We're seeing that more too. Well,

1231
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: that's what I mean, a conglomerate. Yeah, And like the

1232
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos are a good example. When the Denver Bronco

1233
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: just had an ownership pass and the family take it over,

1234
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: the family based on the inheritance tax then were in

1235
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: a situation where they had to sell the franchise. And

1236
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: so the the ownership group did not become hey, you know,

1237
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder's going to buy a team, or this wealthy

1238
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: individual business mogul is going to buy a team. It

1239
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: had to go to a large network of people who

1240
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: all bought in. If you think about if somebody says

1241
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,560
Speaker 1: they have two hundred million dollars and they want to

1242
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: buy an NFL team, two hundred million dollars will buy you.

1243
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: Two hundred million dollars would get you two percent of

1244
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. So the amount of money is staggering.

1245
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: But the problem is the valuation because these franchises in

1246
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: a large part of it is television contracts. Because these

1247
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: NFL franchises, and it's true in the NBA, it's true

1248
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball to an extent, but nothing like

1249
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: the NFL because the values financially speaking, of these franchises

1250
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: have skyrocketed into the atmosphere and the stratosphere that they're in.

1251
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: That not only makes it difficult for an individual to

1252
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: buy into a franchise, it also makes it very difficult

1253
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: to assume the tax burden upon an inheritance of that

1254
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: franchise because you are having to pay the valuation. If

1255
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: you look at and a lot of people asked me

1256
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: about the sale of IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

1257
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: and IMS productions to the Fox Television network, and I

1258
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not privy to this at all, but

1259
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: it would be my assumption that it was a very

1260
01:11:53,600 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: sound business move because if you are within a day,

1261
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: decade or so, whatever it may be, I don't know

1262
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: it's I would never even speculate. But eventually, if the

1263
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: speedway Empire of IndyCar, the Indiapolis Motor Speedway and IMS

1264
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 1: productions is in a situation where it is then being

1265
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: generationally passed via an inheritance, than in order to do that,

1266
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: there is an inheritance tax that needs to be paid

1267
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: federally speaking, and that tax is determined upon largely the

1268
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: federal valuation of the sports property, and by selling one

1269
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: third of it, then what just took place for the

1270
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: Penske Entertainment Group was they just set the parameters of

1271
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: the estimate of the valuation. They determined it. Hey, we're

1272
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: telling you we just sold thirty three percent for X

1273
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 1: amount of dollars. So you do your math, but this

1274
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: is what the valuation is. So they set that barometer there,

1275
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 1: which was very very smart. I don't know that that

1276
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: that was the impetus for it, but it would be

1277
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: a very smart business decision if that was a factor

1278
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: in that sale. And so the long winded point I'm

1279
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 1: making here is when you look at things like the

1280
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,839
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys setting the bar on franchise values for the NFL,

1281
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: what they are setting the bar on as well, is

1282
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the valuation of what an estimated value of the Indianapolis

1283
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Colts would be. And we are now in a period

1284
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: where there is a transfer of power via inheritance of

1285
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: that ownership group. Did they already have the wheels in

1286
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: motion for the tax implication. I don't know the answer

1287
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: to that. I would assume so, and I would hope so.

1288
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: But the good news for fans of Indianapolis is, let's

1289
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: just say, hypothetically that the Ersa daughters don't have the

1290
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: capital to pay the inheritance tax based on the valuation.

1291
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: The good news is, you know, you're in nineteen ninety five,

1292
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 1: that would have meant, oh gosh, they're gonna have to

1293
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 1: sell the franchise well now, because these values have gone

1294
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: so high there are so few people to sell it

1295
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: to on an individual basis that probably what it would

1296
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: mean is that they're may be in a position where

1297
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 1: they have to sell a percentage of the franchise to

1298
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 1: an ownership group of people. Thus, the majority owners would

1299
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: still be the three daughters, even if each one of

1300
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: them only had seventeen percent to add to fifty one percent.

1301
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: If you sell the other forty nine percent to a

1302
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: group of twenty people, then you still maintain majority ownership,

1303
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: and thus your ideas of the best interest, the best

1304
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,560
Speaker 1: trajectory of the franchise, and most importantly, the location of

1305
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: the franchise stays within the desire of the Urse girls

1306
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,520
Speaker 1: and thus their father, and so therefore it stays in Indianapolis.

1307
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: I don't think the Colts are at any risk of moving,

1308
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: But would it be a smart play for them perhaps

1309
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 1: to sell part of that based on and in a

1310
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: good way, I say this about the NFL based on

1311
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: the skyrocketed valuation. Yes, and the Dallas Cowboys are one

1312
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: that set the bar for that and set that parameter

1313
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of the league on what the valuation

1314
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,799
Speaker 1: of the worth would be. Kind of like the Pacers

1315
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 1: in Stephen Rails. Yes, that's an excellent example. Stephen Rails

1316
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: came in and Herb Simon sold him not the majority,

1317
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: but a percentage of the Indiana Pacers. Thus, when Herb Simon,

1318
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: when there is an inheritance that goes to the Simon children,

1319
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: the tax burden is less than what it would have

1320
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: been prior to that sale. That isn't That's exactly the point.

1321
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna go on a road trip, is that right?

1322
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 1: That is right? Are we driving or flying? I'm hoping

1323
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: we're flying to Miami? All right, we're gonna do it.

1324
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna previews Dolphins colts. So we're gonna do it

1325
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: with somebody who knows the Dolphins inside. The games now

1326
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: count starting on Sunday, starting tonight. Really for that matter,

1327
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. But for the Colts, it

1328
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,799
Speaker 1: is the Miami Dolphins game number one Lucas Oil Stadium

1329
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday. Tailgate by the way with the

1330
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: fan before that takes place at our friends at the

1331
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: Slippery Noodle. Marty Bacon and the group there will be hosting.

1332
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: We would love to have you come by and enjoy

1333
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the festivities before the game itself. But now we take

1334
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: the first of what will be a season long Thursday

1335
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: road trip and Chris Perkins is the columnist for the

1336
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins for the Sun Sentinel. The South Florida Sun

1337
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Sentinel joins us now on the program. Chris, I'm going

1338
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: to get right to this, and that is the Dolphins

1339
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: are one that from afar lots of talent. Been times

1340
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years where that talent has

1341
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: really shown itself and there's been high promise and then

1342
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: things kind of plateaued out. What is the expectation for

1343
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins coming into this season? Is there more stability

1344
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: than we've seen?

1345
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 4: Oh?

1346
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 2: Boy?

1347
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 6: First of all, let me just say I've lost a

1348
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 6: lot of brain sales in the Slippery Noodles, So I

1349
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:52,719
Speaker 6: love to hear references to that place.

1350
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great place, man, it is a great place.

1351
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 6: Expectations for the Dolphins are mixed. You know, I've picked

1352
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 6: them to go nine and eight this season. I think

1353
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 6: a lot of the sportsbooks in Vegas have seven and

1354
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 6: a half wins as the over under. Other placers have

1355
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 6: eight and a half wins as the over under. The

1356
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 6: deal with the Dolphins really is, you know, they're going

1357
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 6: through now a transition. They were doing the win now

1358
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 6: thing with the veterans and the thirty somethings. Now they've

1359
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 6: transitioned to winning with use and draftees, and so what

1360
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 6: you're gonna see is a team in flux. You know,

1361
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 6: they're trying to rediscover that deep passing game that they

1362
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 6: have fueled by Tula to Tyreek and Tua to Jalen

1363
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 6: Waddle that worked so well in twenty twenty two and

1364
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three. They need to find a running game,

1365
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 6: you know. They they have Devon a Chan and he's

1366
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 6: good as a small, fast guy, but they need some power.

1367
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 6: They had signed Alexander Madison, he went out with a

1368
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 6: season ending neck injury. So now that power role is

1369
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 6: gonna be filled by Oli Gordon, the second their sixth

1370
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 6: round pick from from Oklahoma State. They're also with the power.

1371
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 6: They're trying to revamp that offensive line, so they have

1372
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 6: a second round Pinck Jonas Vai Naya. They signed James

1373
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 6: Daniels as a free agent signee from Pittsburgh. So offensively,

1374
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 6: they're going through a lot of things. Defensively, they're fueled

1375
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 6: by that front seven, the edge rushers. They've got a

1376
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 6: four nan combo of Bradley Chubb, Jalen Phillips, Chop Robinson,

1377
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 6: and Matthew Judah. That's really the strength of the defense.

1378
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 6: Last year they had the number four defense in the

1379
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 6: league going into this game. Obviously, the game plan is

1380
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 6: to stop Jonathan Taylor, so you can allow the pass

1381
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 6: rushers to feast, get the Colts into second and long,

1382
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 6: third and long. But they really want to be a balance,

1383
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 6: a more balanced offense, not just the deep passing game,

1384
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 6: but then they can have some power running and then

1385
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 6: they want that defense to be led by the front

1386
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 6: seven and more specifically the edge rushers. It's gonna be

1387
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 6: a mixed bag. I'm not really sure what to expect.

1388
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 6: I don't think nine wins is going to get you

1389
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 6: into the playoffs, but if they have a winning record,

1390
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 6: I think a lot of fans will be happy. To me,

1391
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 6: that's more mediocrity and it's not good to me. The

1392
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 6: goal for the season should be they have to win

1393
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 6: a playoff game. But I think a lot of the

1394
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 6: fans here, if they just have a winning record, they'll

1395
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 6: be happy.

1396
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Chris, It's interesting because you talk about the running game,

1397
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: and it was just a couple of years ago where

1398
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins almost seemed to be like one of the

1399
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: trend setters. There were other teams as well where it

1400
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: was all about open space guys. It was about just

1401
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: get the ball in space to speed burners and speed

1402
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: kills offensively, and it almost was like the NFL was

1403
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: devaluing the running back position. And now there seems to

1404
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 1: be a trend the other way, where people realize there

1405
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: is importance at the running back position. Is that a

1406
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 1: fair assessment of kind of where Miami might have been

1407
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: a trend setter, but now all of a sudden has

1408
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: to step back. And Rea direct a little bit.

1409
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 6: It is and I'll give you some numbers about the

1410
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 6: Dolphins offense. So you know that that the Dolphins in

1411
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 6: the last well in the in the Mike McDaniel era,

1412
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 6: they're four and sixteen against playoff teams. The last two years,

1413
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 6: they're two to ten against playoff teams, and Tua has

1414
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:26,679
Speaker 6: made all twelve of those starts. In those twelve games,

1415
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 6: he's got fifteen touchdowns fourteen interceptions. But even worse, neither

1416
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,759
Speaker 6: Tyreek Keel nor Jalen Waddle has a one hundred yard

1417
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,879
Speaker 6: receiving game against the playoff team in the last two years.

1418
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:43,759
Speaker 6: The reason why is because it's a one dimensional offense.

1419
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 6: The good teams are able to shut down that passing game.

1420
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 6: You play the two shell safety, the two high safeties,

1421
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 6: and you keep that that you keep that ball in

1422
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 6: front of you, and so Waddle and Tyreek can't eat.

1423
01:20:56,479 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 6: There's no run game. There's nobody respects the run game.

1424
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 6: The Dolphins are eight and eleven the last two years

1425
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 6: when they rush for over one hundred yards. So getting back,

1426
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 6: you know, bringing it full circle, Yes, they're trying to

1427
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 6: develop a run game so that if teams do play

1428
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 6: that too high safety, then okay, the Dolphins can run, run, run,

1429
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 6: and that can lead them to victories. They were before

1430
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 6: they would just pile up yards and the yards didn't

1431
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 6: mean anything because they were kind of cute the yards

1432
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 6: that that, you know, the outside zone runs. They're gonna

1433
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 6: pile up yards, but they aren't gonna score a lot

1434
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 6: of touchdowns. So now they're trying to get some respect

1435
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 6: for that run game. Get teams to drop that eighth

1436
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 6: man into the box and then you go over the

1437
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 6: top and then you get that deep passing game going.

1438
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 6: But yeah, for the Dolphins, the run game is the

1439
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,799
Speaker 6: key to the pass game. So I'm expecting a fairly

1440
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 6: steady diet early of run so that they can try

1441
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 6: to force the Colts to drop that eighth man in

1442
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 6: the box and then go over the top and wake

1443
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 6: up that pass game. But the pass game is no

1444
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 6: good without a good run game, So the Dolphins Gifts

1445
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 6: are trying to rediscover a run game.

1446
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 1: Chris Perkins is our guest. He's what the sun settinely

1447
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: covers the Miami Dolphins down there. I think, if I'm

1448
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: not mistaken, he also gets a lifetime of charitable benefit

1449
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 1: from the fact that he had to tolerate and work

1450
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: with mc engle at some point along the line in

1451
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: his career. I think, yeah, yeah, I think that yet, Yeah,

1452
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

1453
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard that name in a while.

1454
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I wish I had neither. Mac and I

1455
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: grew up together. He's an Indie guy and he's been

1456
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: on the show a lot. But Chris, how are the

1457
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins defensively, because you know for the Colts, they the

1458
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Colts I think have some and it's going to be interesting.

1459
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of it, I guess, interest in what

1460
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren can do as the tight end. Certainly we

1461
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 1: know of Jonathan Taylor, but what sort of looks will

1462
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: Miami give Indianapolis and what can Indianapolis exploit.

1463
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 6: So the Dolphins were number four in total defense last year,

1464
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 6: they were number nine against the run. So again, what

1465
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 6: they really wanted to stop Jonathan Taylor and get the

1466
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 6: Colts in the third and long so those edge rushers

1467
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 6: can feast. But obviously that starts with not letting Quinton

1468
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 6: Nelson dominate you right up front, and that's a big thing.

1469
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 6: And then last year when the Coats beat them, what

1470
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 6: was it, sixteen to ten, Jonathan Taylor didn't play, Danny Jones,

1471
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones didn't play, and Tyler Warren was not there.

1472
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 6: So this is a kind of a different Coats offense.

1473
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 6: You've got some. I mean, when you add in Tyler

1474
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 6: Warren and Jonathan Taylor, you know it's a different offense, right,

1475
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 6: So you know the Dolphins are really gonna have to

1476
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 6: work to figure out, you know, what can they do

1477
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,839
Speaker 6: to limit the effectiveness of that of that indie offense

1478
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 6: or really the threat of Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren.

1479
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 6: The strength of the Dolphins defense is the front seven.

1480
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 6: It's really the edge rushers. But you know, they've got

1481
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 6: a good defensive front, Zach Steeler, defensive tackle who's coming

1482
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 6: off of back to back ten SAX seasons. They got

1483
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 6: Benito Jones up there to stop the run. He's a veteran.

1484
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 6: They drafted Kenneth Grant first round or out of out

1485
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 6: of Michigan, and he's a run stuffer. So really, you

1486
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 6: know we're gonna see and I'll tell you the other

1487
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 6: strength of the defense is the inside backers. Jordan Brooks,

1488
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 6: who led the team in tackles last year one forty three,

1489
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 6: Terrell Dotson, who led the team in interceptions with three.

1490
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 6: He's gonna be charged sometimes with defending Tyler Warren. And

1491
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 6: then the Dolphins definitely had problems stopping tight ends last year,

1492
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 6: Trey McBride caused them some some major problems. A couple

1493
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 6: of other guys, Trey McBride from Arizona, a couple of

1494
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 6: other guys caused them some problems. But you know, the

1495
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 6: front seven is really the strength of the Dolphins defense,

1496
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 6: and that's where they're gonna have to do their best work.

1497
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 6: I'll tell you this. The cornerback situation is an absolute

1498
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 6: disaster for the Dolphins. One of the outside corners that

1499
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 6: stormed up last year, he was an undrafted rookie out

1500
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 6: of Louisville. There's some pretty good reason to have faith

1501
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 6: in him. He made good progress last year. In the slot,

1502
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 6: they'll have Jason Marshall, junior or rookie fifth round pick

1503
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 6: out of Florida. The other outside corner probably be Jet Jones,

1504
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 6: who they just signed like maybe six weeks ago. Behind

1505
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 6: him would be Rasul Douglas who they just signed. He

1506
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 6: was a free agent from Buffalo. They just signed him

1507
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 6: maybe three or four weeks ago. So the corner of

1508
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 6: that situation is a disaster. You know, they got Minka

1509
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 6: Fitzpatrick in the Jalen Ramsey trade, so he's one safety.

1510
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 6: The other safety will probably be Ashton Davis who comes

1511
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 6: over from the Jets. That could be Iffy Mellon fun Wu.

1512
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:41,439
Speaker 6: But the secondary is a work in progress and those

1513
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 6: corners can be had. So the front seven has to

1514
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 6: do good work and those edge rushers have to be

1515
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 6: able to take some pressure off of the corners and

1516
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 6: put pressure on Daniel Jones.

1517
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,839
Speaker 1: Of course, they also added Juju Brentz fromer Coolts cornerback

1518
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 1: after he was waived by Indianapolis. And Storm Duck is

1519
01:25:58,840 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: a terrific name.

1520
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 6: That name one of the best Thames in the league

1521
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 6: I know.

1522
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: And ironically, Jake he played for a school that was

1523
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: a bird.

1524
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 2: Real yeah, Louisville louis Cardinals, Cardinals.

1525
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: On the offensive side of things, there's no it's no

1526
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: secret how much drama there has been around Tyreek Hill

1527
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 1: dating back to last year. What is his relationship like now,

1528
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: I know he's not a captain for Miami with Tua

1529
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,440
Speaker 1: and with the rest of the Miami team.

1530
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 6: I think it's fine. I really do think it's fine.

1531
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 6: You know, as I always say, Tyreek's done a Tyreek

1532
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 6: you know he he look. I think Tyreek is hitted

1533
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 6: to the Hall of Fame if he continues doing what

1534
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 6: he's done.

1535
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

1536
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,600
Speaker 6: You know, with the exception of last year when I

1537
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 6: think he slacked off to well, not slacked off, slump

1538
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 6: down to nine hundred and forty nine yards receiving or

1539
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 6: whatever it was, to a missed six game. So that

1540
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 6: was a big reason why. But you know, with Tyreek,

1541
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 6: you know that guy produces on the field. You know,

1542
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 6: I think the first year he had h this is

1543
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 6: his fourth year with the Dolphins. First year, I believe

1544
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 6: with seventeen hundred and ten yards. Second year seventeen ninety nine,

1545
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 6: and he was, you know, unpaid for two thousand until

1546
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 6: he got a horse collar tackle against Tennessee late in

1547
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 6: the season that slowed him down late. You know, with Tyreek,

1548
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,040
Speaker 6: he's a lead by example guy. And when you talk

1549
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 6: about Tyreek not being a team captain, I think it's

1550
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 6: a The story there is the Dolphins have a team

1551
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 6: vote for team captains. Seen captains aren't a point. Team

1552
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 6: captains are voted on by players, and I think it's

1553
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 6: more of a statement that the players decided, no more

1554
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 6: of this stuff, no more of this Tyreek nonsense. We're

1555
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 6: not going to tolerate him as a team captain when

1556
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 6: he's doing all of these things. You know, Tyreek's off

1557
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:47,839
Speaker 6: the field behavior. He started last season before the opener

1558
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 6: being detained by the police outside of hard Rock Stadium.

1559
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 6: He ended the season and the finale against the Jets

1560
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 6: with the you know what we call the I'm out speech,

1561
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 6: where he said, I can't do this anymore, might need

1562
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 6: to be traded. I can't you know, be around here.

1563
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 6: We're not gonna be be making the playoffs and winning

1564
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 6: playoff games. I thought it was a good thing for

1565
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 6: the other players to draw the line in the sand

1566
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 6: and say we're not going to tolerate this. So Tyreek's

1567
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 6: relationship with them is good. And I think the real

1568
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 6: story there is that maybe the team is saying no

1569
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 6: more of this foolishness. But Tyreek can lead by example.

1570
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 6: He doesn't need that sea on his jersey.

1571
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: Like he said yesterday, how did storm duck not go

1572
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: to Oregon?

1573
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 4: Oh?

1574
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good one.

1575
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, or Miami or Iowa State?

1576
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1577
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 1: I mean you got to be a hurricane of cyclone

1578
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: or a duck, right, I mean it's got to be

1579
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: one of those three. All right, Chris. Last thing before

1580
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: we let you go, you know, South Florida traffic. I

1581
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: mean We all know about South Florida traffic and you

1582
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 1: got you know, six lanes wide and it's always backed up.

1583
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,320
Speaker 1: But let's imagine the AFC. I want you, Chris, to

1584
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 1: think about the AFC in like late November. You got

1585
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: a six lane interstate. The teams that are on their

1586
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: way to the fast track to the playoffs are all

1587
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: in the left lane, and we anticipate that's probably going

1588
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: to be Kansas City and Buffalo, and you know those

1589
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: teams are in the left lane.

1590
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 4: Yep.

1591
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: It feels like right now that Miami. The Indianapolis perspective

1592
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: would be that Miami and India are probably in the

1593
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 1: same lane and they're both trying to merge over, and

1594
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: it's like, well that that car there, I'm not going

1595
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:24,640
Speaker 1: to let him over. That kind of thing. When you

1596
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 1: look at it, you see the Indianapolis Colts. I want

1597
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: the outside Indianapolis perspective. You see the Colts being the

1598
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: majority of this season in what lane of this interstate

1599
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,679
Speaker 1: and how close to getting their way into the left lane?

1600
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 6: Oh boy, probably second or third lane trying to merge over.

1601
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Colts. Probably they were eight wins

1602
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 6: last year. If I'm not mistaken. I'm looking at the

1603
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 6: same thing from the Colts this year. Maybe they get

1604
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,839
Speaker 6: to nine wins. I don't see them as a playoff

1605
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 6: team at this point, and so I see both the

1606
01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 6: Dolphins and the Colts going into the December around five

1607
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 6: hundred whatever that number would be, what six and six

1608
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 6: may be, or you know, seven and six, whatever it

1609
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 6: would be. For the Dolphins. You know, one of their

1610
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 6: big problems is they don't play well in December and January,

1611
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 6: and so they they've got a pretty full schedule the

1612
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 6: Dolphins do in in December and January. They're playing Pittsburgh

1613
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 6: at Pittsburgh on Monday Night, They're playing Tampa Bay, They're

1614
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 6: playing Cincinnati, and so it's gonna be rough for them

1615
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 6: down the stretch. I don't know what Indie schedule is

1616
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 6: down the stretch, but I see them both at five

1617
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 6: hundred ishings just trying to merge over into that left

1618
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 6: lane going into December and January. Injury they're gonna be

1619
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 6: a factor. Schedule is gonna be a factor. I don't

1620
01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 6: know how it turns out for either of them, but

1621
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 6: I've got the Dolphins as a nine win team and

1622
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:52,639
Speaker 6: Indy as an eight win team.

1623
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: Okay, and both of them are looking at the ways

1624
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: about the cars that's broken down. That's Cleveland.

1625
01:30:58,000 --> 01:30:58,760
Speaker 2: That's right.

1626
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 6: You got to say, say from Cleveland, New Orleans.

1627
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: New Orleans, New Orleans was a couple exits back, but yes,

1628
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 1: yeahs back right right, hey man, We appreciate the time

1629
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: as always. All right, certainly enjoy the slipper noodle. If

1630
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 1: you're going to be in town.

1631
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 6: All right, I'll try to get make a visit down there.

1632
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 4: Thanks.

1633
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,599
Speaker 1: All right, much appreciated, much appreciated. Chris Perkins joining us

1634
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 1: from South Florida. All right, we'll come back. Matt Taylor

1635
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: going to join us. By the way, on the program,

1636
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 1: the voice of the colt is going to be doing so.

1637
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 1: Just over ten are the Indiana Fever. Boy. The hits

1638
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 1: just keep coming coming, and I realize this is a

1639
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,839
Speaker 1: player who has been injured, and thus they have already

1640
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 1: had to adapt of life without But once again Eddie,

1641
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 1: another player on the roster we now know will not

1642
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 1: be returning for the rest of the year. For the

1643
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: Indiana Fever. It's not Caitlin Clark. It is Chloe Bibbie,

1644
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: the Australian who they brought in a couple months ago,

1645
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: think in July. At the end of July, she had

1646
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 1: been dealing with a knee injury for like two weeks

1647
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,760
Speaker 1: and missed like three or four games. Then she was

1648
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,720
Speaker 1: off the injury report. I can't exactly remember when that was,

1649
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: and then she was back on it, missed a game,

1650
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and now they have ultimately decided that she will not

1651
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 1: be able to suit up for the remainder of the season.

1652
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: So yet another loss. They are in action tomorrow taking

1653
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:28,719
Speaker 1: on the Chicago Sky Correct. Yeah, And as a ancillary move,

1654
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:32,240
Speaker 1: they brought back Brie Hall for the rest of the season.

1655
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: She was one of those players that was on a

1656
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: hardship contract for the Indiana Fever. And then when I

1657
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 1: believe is I think it was Sophie Cunningham's injury, they

1658
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 1: decided to bring in Shape Petty and they let Bree

1659
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:47,799
Speaker 1: Hall go because they wanted to go to the avenue

1660
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: of a veteran who has played a lot of time

1661
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 1: in the WNBA, who can handle the basketball. So instead

1662
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 1: of a player like Hall who had minimal to no

1663
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 1: experience in the WNBA, they brought in Petty with the

1664
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 1: veteran leadership. You were to survey Eddie Garrison fans of

1665
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: the National Football League, with this being the opening day

1666
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,640
Speaker 1: of the NFL season Cowboys Eagles tonight, if you were

1667
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 1: to survey and go to every franchise in the league,

1668
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 1: and let's say that you were to do let's say

1669
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 1: you were to get an email list of every season

1670
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: ticket holder in the National Football League. Okay, so you

1671
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:30,320
Speaker 1: are literally, I mean, what are there probably forty thousand

1672
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 1: season ticket holders per franchise, thirty two franchises. You know,

1673
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: you're looking at one point three what million people? Roughly? Yeah, roughly.

1674
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 1: So if you were to survey all of them and

1675
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:44,839
Speaker 1: tell them that they are going to win a contest

1676
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: where they are able to go and pick any other

1677
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 1: five franchises, not the one they're a fan of, but

1678
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:57,600
Speaker 1: any other five franchises and witness and attend and experience

1679
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 1: a home game of that team, not based on their

1680
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: team going and playing there, but just simply experiencing the

1681
01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 1: home game atmosphere in the stadium of a different NFL team,

1682
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: based on the experience, not the city, not the I'm

1683
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: talking about, just the stadium game experience. What do you

1684
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: believe would be the five franchises that the highest percentage

1685
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 1: of NFL fans would say, I've never been to a

1686
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: game there, but I want to experience it. Buffalo okay,

1687
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 1: Cleveland okay, because of the dog Pound, that's fair. Would

1688
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: you throw Pittsburgh in there because of the terrible towels?

1689
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: It's probably how on the list. I think there's very

1690
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 1: clear number one, and probably a pretty close number two. Okay,

1691
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: But what you've said so far a good any others

1692
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: that jump out of you. Vegas Okay, I think that's

1693
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 1: way up there. But again that's because of the atmosphere, right,

1694
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: But I mean because of the city. But do they

1695
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: still do the black hole in Vegas like they did

1696
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: in Oakland? I think so. I mean, I think Vegas

1697
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 1: would be up there just because people are like, oh man,

1698
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: it'd be fun to be in Vegas. But if you're

1699
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: just talking the stadium atmosphere, I still think that would

1700
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: be up there. I think there are three big ones

1701
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:26,719
Speaker 1: that you're missing that probably would be the top three. Okay,

1702
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I'm gonna bring Matt Taylor into this equation too,

1703
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: because he's been to most of them, and that's one

1704
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:36,160
Speaker 1: of the things I'll ask him and I'll do it

1705
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: next Colts Dolphins Sunday, Lucas Oil Stadium. You can hear

1706
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 1: that game, of course, on this radio station, and when

1707
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 1: doing so, you will be hearing the dulcet tones of

1708
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor describing the action. He joins us now on

1709
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: the always Busy and Available to be Sponsored guest line. Matt,

1710
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to begin with a question that I was

1711
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 1: just posing to Eddie. Allow me to lay down for

1712
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: you the groundwork have said question, and then we want

1713
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: the Matt Taylor answer. Are you ready?

1714
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 4: Let's do it?

1715
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: Okay, if you were to take every season ticket holder

1716
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Let's say there's roughly one point three

1717
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: million people that have season tickets to their respective cities

1718
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: NFL franchise, and you were to simply say to all

1719
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 1: of those people, you get to select five road games

1720
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 1: to attend, not to see your team, but just five

1721
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 1: NFL franchises to go and see a home game in

1722
01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 1: that team's stadium, not based on a place that you

1723
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 1: think would be a fun city, not based on the weather,

1724
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 1: but simply based on what you would believe to be

1725
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: the best in game experience in a stadium, and just

1726
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: a legendary must do sports bucket list item in the NFL.

1727
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 1: What do you believe would be the five franchises that

1728
01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: would tabulate the highest number of votes of CEA. Some

1729
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: ticket holders within the NFL saying, I want to see

1730
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:05,600
Speaker 1: a game there.

1731
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 3: Green Bay, Kansas City, Yep, probably Dallas because of the

1732
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 3: magnitude of the facility.

1733
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 1: Yep.

1734
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:21,759
Speaker 3: Right in the big scoreboard, that's three, right.

1735
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: I think undoubtedly the big three. Right. I think that's

1736
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,839
Speaker 1: almost undoubtedly the Big three.

1737
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 3: And then I think you're going to have people that

1738
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 3: are I know you're asking people not to do this,

1739
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 3: but I think inevitably people will. They'll just pick whether

1740
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 3: so they'll pick Tampa Bay or Miami or Arizona or La.

1741
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1742
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: I think LA would be up there because that kind

1743
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: of has same level of venue. Intrigued, does it not?

1744
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? It does. Yeah. And selfishly I'm excited to go there.

1745
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 3: We go there twice this year in a span of

1746
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 3: like six weeks, so I'm excited to kind of cross

1747
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 3: that one off my bucket list. I would put Soldier

1748
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,000
Speaker 3: Field up there, but I've never been there. I swear

1749
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,879
Speaker 3: I've been doing this CARA for fourteen years and I've.

1750
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Never been to Soldier Here's what's interesting about Soldier Field.

1751
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 1: I went, I've not been to a football game there,

1752
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: but I've been to the venue. I saw guns n'

1753
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 1: roses at Soldier Field a couple of years ago. And

1754
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 1: one of the things, this sounds ridiculous. One of the

1755
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 1: things I noticed. You don't realize with super old stadiums

1756
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:25,759
Speaker 1: until you go to them. This is true of Wrigley,

1757
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 1: It's certainly true of Fenway. You realize that one hundred

1758
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 1: years ago every American was five nine and one hundred

1759
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:35,599
Speaker 1: and thirty five pounds. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like,

1760
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: the walkways are, the concourses are narrow, the I mean

1761
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 1: the seats Obviously, they've changed them to an extent, But

1762
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 1: if you're in some of the original ceded areas, you're like,

1763
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: holy cow. I mean it's amazing, you know it just

1764
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 1: it is not it's different. Now you've been to Los

1765
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 1: Angeles the city correct, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1766
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: mean I love LA and the weather's fabulous. But yeah,

1767
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,599
Speaker 1: I think Green Bay, Kansas City, and Dallas would be

1768
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: probably almost undoubtedly the top three in that. Okay, Matt,

1769
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 1: I tossed in Buffalo because of Bill's Mafia. Buffalo's there too.

1770
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 3: I think yeah, yeah, But Buffalo. I mean, I like

1771
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 3: the stadium, but there's not as much like history in Buffalo.

1772
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 3: There's like there's charm in Buffalo, but like there I mean,

1773
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 3: Lamba's lambo, you know what I mean.

1774
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: But I have both. But I think, Matt, that Buffalo

1775
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 1: has a little bit of the same intrigue that Green

1776
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: Bay has in the fact that it just represents tough

1777
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: as day's blue collar football, you know what I mean.

1778
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: Just the fans are just it's there's just something about

1779
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:46,719
Speaker 1: when you watch a game in Buffalo, you think to yourself,

1780
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: that's a fan base with a dedication that goes to

1781
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,599
Speaker 1: depths I can't grasp, you know what I mean with that.

1782
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 3: I mean, and when you're in Buffalo, I mean, to

1783
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 3: your point, Bill, I mean, you can't escape the bills.

1784
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:01,800
Speaker 3: There's bill stuff everywhere, every ball every restaurant is just

1785
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 3: decked out and bills. And every person at the bar,

1786
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 3: every person at the table is probably having some sort

1787
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 3: of conversation about either the current team or nostalgia or

1788
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 3: you know, bills of of of you know, yesteryear. But

1789
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like they're building a new stadium right

1790
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:20,679
Speaker 3: next to the existing stadium, right now.

1791
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: I was just there. Yeah, I was just there like

1792
01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 1: a month ago.

1793
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 3: So I mean that's going to be a big time upgrade.

1794
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:30,919
Speaker 3: Whereas Lambeau they would never think to build a new stadium.

1795
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: Well, you and I might have talked about this, What

1796
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:38,719
Speaker 1: is the awkward teenage years of a stadium? In other words,

1797
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,759
Speaker 1: what how long does a stadium have to go being

1798
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 1: a dump before then it becomes retro cool.

1799
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 3: That's a good question, you know, because I'm sure Wrigley

1800
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 3: was outdated in antiquated at some point and now it's

1801
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 3: like a destination whereby has to cross it off their

1802
01:40:55,840 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 3: list because of how historically Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1803
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1804
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I think Market Square Arena was

1805
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 3: probably on its way there to becoming I mean, it

1806
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 3: was antiquated, but it was also like totally it was

1807
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 3: it was it was our place, you know what I mean,

1808
01:41:13,200 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 3: Like it was our small arena. You know, it kind

1809
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 3: of represented the city. But at the same time, like

1810
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:22,479
Speaker 3: there was no place to build suites, there was no

1811
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 3: place for modern amenities and scoreboarders and things like that,

1812
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 3: so it had to go. But you know, it was

1813
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 3: on its way to becoming.

1814
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 1: You know, classic Matt. You know what's fascinating. I think

1815
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: about this a lot with Market Square, and then I

1816
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 1: want to get to the Colts Dolphins game obviously coming

1817
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:39,599
Speaker 1: up on Sunday. But I think about this a lot

1818
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 1: with Market Square. And I've mentioned it a few times,

1819
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 1: but we don't think about this. But if you think

1820
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 1: about the fact that Market Square Arena was an elevated

1821
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: arena that had Market Street running just below it, four

1822
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: stories above it. But but you literally you could drive

1823
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: underneath it. I mean, I think the road was closed

1824
01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 1: during games, but the bottom line being you could get

1825
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: direct underneath it. When you think about the world, and

1826
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't mean this to be trivial, but after particularly

1827
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: nine to eleven and then I guess Oklahoma City, even

1828
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: though when you think about those aspects of the world

1829
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 1: that we live in today, there's no way they would

1830
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: have been able to have live events there anymore.

1831
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 3: Right, Man, I never have thought about that.

1832
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: I know that that's a really dark thing, but I

1833
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,559
Speaker 1: was like, gosh, you know what, like, it's amazing to

1834
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 1: think that you had immediate access directly underneath it with

1835
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand people above you.

1836
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1837
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:33,760
Speaker 3: No, I mean to your point though, I mean I

1838
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 3: remember going to games as a kid and parking around

1839
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,880
Speaker 3: the block and walking, you know to that door right

1840
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 3: at Market Square or Market Street.

1841
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, going up the steps.

1842
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 3: Going up the steps, going up through the stairs, and

1843
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 3: I can just I don't know, just things about your childhood.

1844
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 3: You can appreciate this, Like I remember you walked you

1845
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,519
Speaker 3: you open up the door that led into the concourse

1846
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 3: at Marcus Square Arena, and I think, if I if

1847
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 3: I stop and close my eyes and think real hard,

1848
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:01,320
Speaker 3: I can still smell it.

1849
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean, no questions.

1850
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 3: The stickiness of.

1851
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:09,759
Speaker 1: The smell was Kent cigarettes, right.

1852
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was definitely baked into the walls

1853
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, you know, it's just I mean I

1854
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 3: used to beg my dad, my dad. You know, he

1855
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 3: worked in an office where that he would get pacer

1856
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 3: tickets thrown his direction a couple times a year, and

1857
01:43:25,360 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 3: then obviously the better they got, the harder it was

1858
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,800
Speaker 3: to get tickets and freebies. But I mean when we did,

1859
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 3: I just felt like you were on top of the

1860
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 3: world totally. I always remember those moments and how special

1861
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,559
Speaker 3: they were going to games with him, and you know,

1862
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:40,639
Speaker 3: the whole experience getting to our seats, Matt.

1863
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,879
Speaker 1: It's what I said when they were in the finals.

1864
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: This year is all of that reawakened for me, right

1865
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 1: going down to see Wayman Tisdale and John Long and

1866
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Steep bo and all right,

1867
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 1: So for kids, obviously today in twenty twenty five, those

1868
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 1: memories are going down to Lucas Oil. It's to watch

1869
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 1: the Colts. It's to see this time of year when

1870
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 1: hope spring eternal and there's optimism. And I've said I

1871
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 1: do like the roster. I know the quarterback position is

1872
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 1: one that is of intrigue, but I like the roster

1873
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 1: in general. But from what you have been able to tell,

1874
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,879
Speaker 1: we just talked about it with Chris down in Miami.

1875
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:18,040
Speaker 1: From your perspective, the thing about the Dolphins that the

1876
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 1: Colts might be able to take advantage of or is

1877
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 1: this even Matt, at this time of year, are they

1878
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: even game planning of breaking down film on what they

1879
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: think Miami is going to do? Or do you just

1880
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: in week one kind of push in on who you

1881
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 1: are and wait to see what the opponent does.

1882
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still think you can gain plan based on

1883
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 3: personnel in tendencies of coordinators and things like that. Defensively,

1884
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 3: they still have the same coordinator from last year, Anthony Weaver,

1885
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 3: And you know, this was a top ten defense last

1886
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 3: year across the board and front seven wise, it's still

1887
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:53,799
Speaker 3: pretty good, and they still have a lot of the

1888
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 3: core guys that were really really stingy in twenty twenty four.

1889
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 3: But the back end is completely different, and I think

1890
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 3: you can exploit it. I mean, guys like I mean,

1891
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 3: Mika Fitzpatrick is back and so like I think he's

1892
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 3: one of my favorite safeties in the league. But he's

1893
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 3: only been there for about a month. You know, he

1894
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 3: was traded right before traded from Pittsburgh right before training

1895
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:20,200
Speaker 3: camp started. But I mean the other names Rasul Douglas

1896
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:22,920
Speaker 3: and a Fadi melafan Wu and you're gonna love this

1897
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 3: guy from Louisville Storm Duck.

1898
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: Remember him coming out to how to Oregon. That's what

1899
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 1: I was saying.

1900
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 3: I mean, completely marketing dropped the ball right there. But

1901
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 3: I think defensively, you know, the Colts can get some

1902
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:38,320
Speaker 3: things done, I think personnel wise against that secondary now

1903
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 3: obviously way easier said than done, but at least on paper,

1904
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:43,919
Speaker 3: that is going to be the weakness of that defense.

1905
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 3: Whereas being able to stop the run and putting pressure

1906
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 3: on Daniel Jones at least initially is their strength. But

1907
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 3: I think if guys on the outside can win their

1908
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,759
Speaker 3: one on one matchups and Pittman and downs and certainly

1909
01:45:55,800 --> 01:45:58,120
Speaker 3: pierce to get some of those big plays that you

1910
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 3: have to have to expedite scoring, I think the secondary

1911
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 3: can be had in this game. But again, like you said,

1912
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 3: it's Week one, not a ton of film on these

1913
01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 3: guys playing together within this game, and you know, in

1914
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:13,959
Speaker 3: this defense under Anthony Weaver. But I think it's exciting

1915
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 3: to think about, you know, the yards after the catch

1916
01:46:17,400 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 3: and the screens and the over routes and exploiting the

1917
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 3: middle of the field that we've talked agnauseum all off

1918
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 3: season about from Daniel Jones that could be on display

1919
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,320
Speaker 3: prevalent early on in Week one.

1920
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 1: When you look Matt at Daniel Jones. And you know,

1921
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:36,680
Speaker 1: I do think that Daniel Jones is a better athlete

1922
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: than is given credit. I think that he has some

1923
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:41,480
Speaker 1: wheels about him. But I don't know that you design

1924
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 1: plays for him in that area, right, I mean, he

1925
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: can he can extend plays. I don't know that you

1926
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: design running plays for him. But the offense that we

1927
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 1: became accustomed to, excuse me, under Anthony Richardson will be

1928
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:56,439
Speaker 1: different than under Daniel Jones.

1929
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 3: How I don't think that at will. I think the

1930
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:02,519
Speaker 3: only difference is you may not, to your point, see

1931
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:05,680
Speaker 3: as many design runs. You know, with Richardson towards the

1932
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 3: end of last year, you got about five or six

1933
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 3: design runs, depending on the matchup in the game. With

1934
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,360
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones you might see one or two. But that's

1935
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 3: not to say that you know, he can't scramble out

1936
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 3: of the pocket and produce big time with his feet.

1937
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Jonathan Taylor today talked about just that about

1938
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 3: he tried to use the word deceptive, But I think

1939
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 3: it's inappropriate to talk about Daniel Jones's athleticism because it's

1940
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 3: not deceptive. It's pretty obvious how fast and fleet of

1941
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 3: foot this guy is. And he's got the sixth most

1942
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 3: rushing yards among quarterbacks since twenty nineteen. He's averaging five

1943
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,760
Speaker 3: point six yards per carry for his career, and he's

1944
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,960
Speaker 3: actually got the Giants all time rushing record for a

1945
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 3: single season back in twenty twenty two when he was

1946
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 3: over seven hundred yards for that season. But like I said,

1947
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 3: it's not a lot of design runs, just a couple,

1948
01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:00,320
Speaker 3: but I think that's important to display those to a

1949
01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 3: certain degree because it will keep defensive ends honest in

1950
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 3: the red zone game. It will, you know, keep those

1951
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 3: linebackers sucked up in the line of scrim as just

1952
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,879
Speaker 3: a hair. I mean, the NFL is all about timing

1953
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 3: and you know, milliseconds of you know, angles to be

1954
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 3: able to get footballs into in the passing game. That's

1955
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 3: why play action is important for defenses to respect the

1956
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:26,680
Speaker 3: running ability from from Daniel Jones. So yeah, again, I

1957
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:29,559
Speaker 3: don't think you're going to see aesthetically a ton of

1958
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 3: difference between Richardson Richardson led team or a Jones led team.

1959
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,240
Speaker 3: Just think you're probably not going to call as many

1960
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,640
Speaker 3: design runs as you would with Richardson. But that's not

1961
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,719
Speaker 3: to say the Colts won't prioritize that with Daniel Jones.

1962
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 1: Matt, you've ever seen the movie Bad Santa.

1963
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 3: With Billy Bob.

1964
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I say this, it's probably going to offend you,

1965
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 1: but we've known each other a long time now. When

1966
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 1: I think of the kid in that movie, you know,

1967
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 1: the kid in Bad Santa.

1968
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, the kid.

1969
01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:00,360
Speaker 1: The look on that kid's face to the majority of

1970
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:04,840
Speaker 1: that movie and just his overall stature. That's I kind

1971
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,639
Speaker 1: of think of like nine year old Matt Taylor finding

1972
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 1: out that he can't go to the Pacer game as

1973
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,439
Speaker 1: that kid wearing tough skins. Is that about right?

1974
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean if I had a mirror at the time,

1975
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 3: you know, dad comes home and got shut out on tickets,

1976
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,000
Speaker 3: that probably what it looks like.

1977
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 6: Like.

1978
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:22,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that you were a portly kid,

1979
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 1: because you're not now, but you're a bigger bone guy, right,

1980
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,800
Speaker 1: You're a football stature. Were you a portly kid?

1981
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:29,360
Speaker 4: No?

1982
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:33,320
Speaker 3: No, I mean I was. I actually didn't really fill

1983
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 3: out until I got to college. I had a hard

1984
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 3: time keeping on weight, to be honest with you, so

1985
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:42,679
Speaker 3: I was yeah. Yeah, I mean I probably weighed under

1986
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:45,599
Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty pounds until I was a junior

1987
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 3: in college.

1988
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah enough, all right? Matt Taylor, By the way,

1989
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:51,639
Speaker 1: the voice of the Colts, our guest Colts and Dolphins

1990
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,559
Speaker 1: coming up Lucas Oil Stadium here in week number one.

1991
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 1: It is a fun time of year because you just

1992
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: you look at it and you start kind of trying

1993
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 1: to figure out where the wins are going to come,

1994
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:03,519
Speaker 1: what games are going to be tough. I just look

1995
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: at it, Matt, and I want your thought on this.

1996
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: I think these first two games are so important, not

1997
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,720
Speaker 1: just because they're at home and you want to get

1998
01:50:11,720 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 1: off on a good start, but because they are two

1999
01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: teams that I look at and say, if the Colts

2000
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: were to hit their ceiling this year, these are two

2001
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: teams that are going to be kind of hanging around

2002
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: their neighborhood the whole time. You agree with that.

2003
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with that more. I mean, you look

2004
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 3: at the AFC East with the Dolphins and their representation.

2005
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 3: Buffalo's won that division five years in a row. Here

2006
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 3: comes the Broncos in Week two. You know they're in

2007
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 3: the AFC West. The Chiefs have won that division, you know,

2008
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 3: nine years in a row. So they definitely have some

2009
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:46,720
Speaker 3: you know, road blockages to winning their division historically. And

2010
01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 3: so you thought you start thinking about wild card ramifications

2011
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:52,559
Speaker 3: right out of the gate, and you know these head

2012
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 3: to head matchups are going to I think, just hold

2013
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 3: a ton of weight and hold a lot of magnitude

2014
01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 3: when you start getting out the tie breaker situations like

2015
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 3: we always do inevitably towards the end of the season,

2016
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 3: you know, weeks fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and so on and

2017
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 3: so forth. So it's really really important for that. But

2018
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 3: I just think it's really you know, the whole Jim

2019
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 3: Mersey component for Sunday matters, the whole. We have a

2020
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:22,839
Speaker 3: one a week, one game since twenty thirteen that matters.

2021
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't, but it also does just because

2022
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:28,799
Speaker 3: the fans know about it, and the fans are jaded,

2023
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,680
Speaker 3: and the fans want to see results and trying to

2024
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 3: make the playoffs for the first time in four years?

2025
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 3: Why is this year going to be different? Why should

2026
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 3: we believe in Daniel Jones? Right, We've had eleven different

2027
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks start a game since twenty nineteen. Why is this

2028
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 3: going to be different? Why is Daniel Jones gonna you know,

2029
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 3: produce big time results? Like I totally understand all of that.

2030
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 3: And so just from a I guess from a marketing

2031
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,599
Speaker 3: angle and from you know, a team locker room angle

2032
01:51:56,640 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 3: that's tired of hearing about all those things. Those things

2033
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 3: can all go away just by winning, you know, just

2034
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 3: by putting your best foot forward and all of those things.

2035
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 3: It's like a big domino effect. If you win, all

2036
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 3: of those things just sort of take care of themselves

2037
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 3: and naturally just go away and people start to pay

2038
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:15,880
Speaker 3: attention more, and people start to believe a little bit

2039
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,640
Speaker 3: more and buy into, you know, the plan here. So

2040
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 3: it's a it's a results driven league. It's put up

2041
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 3: or shut up time. And that's why I'm excited about

2042
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:26,559
Speaker 3: Sundays because you know, since March when there was a

2043
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 3: quarterback battle announced between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, and

2044
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 3: you know we were going to kind of reset things

2045
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 3: in terms of consistency and all of that stuff, it's

2046
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:39,519
Speaker 3: just been talk, it's been conjecture. You know, things have

2047
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:43,600
Speaker 3: progressed a little bit obviously during training camp and the preseason,

2048
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 3: but we talked about this last week. You simply do

2049
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 3: not know until you start playing regular season games. Like

2050
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 3: things you think you are confident in that are going

2051
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 3: to be strengths of your team, you just do not

2052
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:59,559
Speaker 3: know how those things are going to unfold until you

2053
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 3: start play in regular season games. So that from a personally,

2054
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for Sunday because we're gonna get some

2055
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:09,040
Speaker 3: concrete answers to some questions that we've been debating and

2056
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:11,639
Speaker 3: kind of kicking around for the last you know, five

2057
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:12,800
Speaker 3: or six months.

2058
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 1: There has been you know, one of those questions, Matt

2059
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 1: is that of when are we finally going to see

2060
01:53:17,920 --> 01:53:20,920
Speaker 1: Ady Mitchell show why he was drafted where he was

2061
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:23,720
Speaker 1: and why there has been belief in him. And my

2062
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:28,479
Speaker 1: concern would be that now schematically they do things that

2063
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 1: are not necessarily there to showcase Ady Mitchell. Am I wrong?

2064
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 3: No? I mean last year, last year, schematically, ad Mitchell

2065
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:46,000
Speaker 3: was very much involved in this offense and for him,

2066
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 3: getting open was never the problem. It was just finishing routes,

2067
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 3: interpreting defenses and finishing the play. I mean, his catch

2068
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 3: rate last year was like forty seven percent, you know,

2069
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 3: like that was one of the worst catch rates in

2070
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 3: the league. I think actually it was based on the

2071
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 3: requirements that you have to be to qualify for for

2072
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 3: that that measurement. So him, his playmaking ability has never

2073
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 3: been the question. It's just him trying to mature and

2074
01:54:16,200 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 3: grow and finish those plays that you know, he's doing

2075
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:22,800
Speaker 3: a nice job of setting himself up for success by

2076
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 3: his athleticism, his speed, his route running ability. Uh, he's

2077
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 3: just got to finish them off. So I mean to

2078
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 3: say that a d Mitchell is not a emphasis to

2079
01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:35,880
Speaker 3: to draw up going into the season.

2080
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 4: I don't.

2081
01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 3: I don't.

2082
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't at all, because I think of him as

2083
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 1: a behind the defense guy. Maybe he's maybe he is

2084
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more like a a quick down and

2085
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: out guy, but I think of him as more like

2086
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 1: the deep ball home run threat, like an Alec Pierce

2087
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: is sure and then and that's what I mean is

2088
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 1: does Daniel Jones? Will they set those kinds of plays

2089
01:54:58,080 --> 01:54:59,960
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones to take advantage of the.

2090
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, good, good points? And I think they have to,

2091
01:55:03,680 --> 01:55:06,000
Speaker 3: I really do. I mean, I've talked about this a lot.

2092
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Jonathan Taylor is going to be the focal

2093
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 3: point of the offense and every defense is going to

2094
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 3: sell out to, you know, take him away first and foremost.

2095
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:19,160
Speaker 3: But in order for Jonathan Taylor to reach his full potential,

2096
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:21,320
Speaker 3: if that's the right way to put it within the offense,

2097
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 3: is you got to have more in the passing game, right.

2098
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean twice in his career, Jonathan Taylor's have been

2099
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,760
Speaker 3: over fourteen hundred rushing yards and the Colts haven't made

2100
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs in either one of those seasons. They have

2101
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 3: to have more in the passing game, and they have

2102
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:38,160
Speaker 3: to have more in the explosive passing game where Mitchell

2103
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:42,000
Speaker 3: and Pierce specifically, you know, are accentuated. And it's just

2104
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,720
Speaker 3: hard to score on drives when you're going ten to

2105
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 3: twelve plays. It just is a lot of things can

2106
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:48,800
Speaker 3: screw it up. You know, you can get a pre

2107
01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 3: snap penalty, you can get sacked, and all of a

2108
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 3: sudden you're behind the chains. So you got to have

2109
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 3: the threat of those big plays to wiighten up the

2110
01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:00,960
Speaker 3: box and then to also widen out the defense so

2111
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:02,720
Speaker 3: that they respect what you're going to do on the

2112
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 3: outside big play potential outside the numbers, so that you

2113
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 3: can then take advantage of, you know, the defense in

2114
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:13,000
Speaker 3: terms of how it reads then to run Taylor, you know,

2115
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 3: on the downs where it's appropriate. So yeah, I mean

2116
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 3: for his career, Daniel Jones is like six point eight

2117
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 3: yards per attempt and for those that don't know, like

2118
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 3: a good yards per attempt number is like seven point five,

2119
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 3: seven point eight somewhere in there. So he's I mean,

2120
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 3: Shane Stike and I think is definitely stressing that to

2121
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones that hey, we got to hunt those completions.

2122
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 3: Like we've talked about, you got to be consistent. But

2123
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 3: also this offense has to have those big plays to

2124
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 3: help mitigate scoring. And you know, for this offense to

2125
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 3: reach its full potential with all the weapons, you know,

2126
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:48,760
Speaker 3: Taylor in the running game over the middle of Tyler,

2127
01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 3: Warren and Josh downs and then on the outside, we

2128
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:54,320
Speaker 3: have to be able to incorporate Pierce and Mitchell, you know,

2129
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 3: to stress the defense fully.

2130
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, Matt, here we go. I want you to

2131
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 1: get me. I think we did this last year as well.

2132
01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 1: I want you to give me two names. You can

2133
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:05,480
Speaker 1: do three if you'd like, but give me a name,

2134
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 1: a couple of names on this colt roster that you

2135
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:12,800
Speaker 1: need to introduce people to it and prepare them now

2136
01:57:12,880 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: because you're going to be saying their name a lot

2137
01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:17,560
Speaker 1: this year and people might not be familiar with them,

2138
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 1: they might not have heard the name. They may it's

2139
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: a new face, it's a new name, it's a new scheme,

2140
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. But when you look at it,

2141
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 1: you go, yeah, I better. You know you're you're sitting

2142
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 1: around the house going I got to practice saying this

2143
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:30,520
Speaker 1: guy's name because they'm going to be saying it a lot.

2144
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think on defense, Joe Bachi is going to

2145
01:57:33,960 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 3: get a tremendous opportunity right now. He's listed as the

2146
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 3: starting linebacker along with Zaire Franklin. And Joe was with

2147
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 3: lou An Arumo for the last four years and Cincinnati

2148
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:47,640
Speaker 3: was primarily a core special teams guy for the Bengals.

2149
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think last year he only played thirty

2150
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,839
Speaker 3: seven snaps on defense and he's only made two starts

2151
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 3: in his career on defense, But he was behind some

2152
01:57:56,560 --> 01:57:59,120
Speaker 3: really good linebackers there in Cincinnati, so he really didn't

2153
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:01,640
Speaker 3: kind of get his chance. But here with the Colts,

2154
01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 3: you know, Jalen Carli starts the year on IR he's

2155
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:08,960
Speaker 3: kind of balance for time with guys like Cameron mcgroan

2156
01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 3: and Austin a GK, and he earned that starting job.

2157
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:15,560
Speaker 3: So you're gonna see number forty eight out there a

2158
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 3: lot for the Colts. That is Joe Bachi with a

2159
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 3: stuttn college at Michigan State. I'm really excited about, you know,

2160
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:25,040
Speaker 3: taking on more of an opportunity here and knows of

2161
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:27,000
Speaker 3: this defense like the back of his hand. Like I said,

2162
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:29,360
Speaker 3: he's been with Loui An Arumo for the last four

2163
01:58:29,440 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 3: years since he broke into the league, so he's been

2164
01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 3: teaching that defense to a lot of guys that are,

2165
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:37,320
Speaker 3: you know, on that first year under this scheme. So

2166
01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 3: I'm excited about his opportunity and what he can add

2167
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 3: to the defense. Now that being said, lou An Arumo

2168
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:46,280
Speaker 3: is also a big sub package guy, so he's gonna

2169
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:50,040
Speaker 3: play with you know, five cornerbacks or five different defensive

2170
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:53,160
Speaker 3: back sometimes six, which will then take Bachi off of

2171
01:58:53,200 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 3: the field depending on the matchup. So you know, just

2172
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,040
Speaker 3: kind of keep an eye on him in terms of

2173
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 3: his playing time and fluctuate and then on offense. I'm

2174
01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 3: still excited about DJ Getts. He's going to be, at

2175
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:09,400
Speaker 3: least as of right now, probably the primary backup running

2176
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:12,640
Speaker 3: back to Jonathan Taylor. Now, right away, we've talked about

2177
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 3: this internally. You know, he's a rookie and Sunday is

2178
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 3: going to be his first taste of the NFL in

2179
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 3: the regular season. I would suspect just to hunch or

2180
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 3: make the assumption that, you know, right away, he's probably

2181
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 3: not in store for ten to twelve carries. That's asking

2182
01:59:28,120 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 3: a lot right out of the gate. I think the

2183
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 3: Colt are trying to kind of steal him out. But

2184
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:33,800
Speaker 3: you know in college he was a thirteen hundred yard

2185
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:35,680
Speaker 3: rusher in each of the last two years in the

2186
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 3: Big twelve at Kansas State. Big yards per carry guy

2187
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,440
Speaker 3: and catch the ball out of the backfield really deceptive,

2188
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:44,280
Speaker 3: you know, out of the backfield catching the ball too.

2189
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:46,680
Speaker 3: So he's going to be a big time playmaker, and

2190
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 3: I think he's going to take on a bigger role

2191
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:51,120
Speaker 3: as the season goes on. But it's kind of up

2192
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 3: in the air what we see see out of him

2193
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:55,360
Speaker 3: on Sunday, just because he's going to be doing it

2194
01:59:55,400 --> 01:59:57,560
Speaker 3: for the first time and there's a lot of trust

2195
01:59:57,600 --> 01:59:59,960
Speaker 3: that kind of goes into that. So it wouldn't supp

2196
02:00:00,440 --> 02:00:04,040
Speaker 3: to see Taylor get is typical, you know, eighteen to

2197
02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:07,080
Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty three carries in this game on Sunday,

2198
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 3: and then the Colts try to reevaluate just how you know,

2199
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:13,200
Speaker 3: up to speed DJ Gidtons is after watching the game

2200
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 3: field and then a game film, I should say, and

2201
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:18,320
Speaker 3: then kind of reevaluate his role. You know, weeks two

2202
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:19,200
Speaker 3: and three and beyond.

2203
02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:24,120
Speaker 1: First concert you saw at Market Square Arena, Tom.

2204
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 3: Petty and the Heartbreakers in nineteen ninety seven.

2205
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That's solid.

2206
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:29,520
Speaker 3: Yep, solid, hard to beat.

2207
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:32,560
Speaker 1: That is all right, Matt. We look forward to it

2208
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:35,280
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, Colts Dolphins, Lucas Oil Stadium. We'll be

2209
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:35,880
Speaker 1: listening to it.

2210
02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:38,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate you guys be well.

2211
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: All right, Matt Taylor, the voice of the Colts. We

2212
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:47,760
Speaker 1: come back a key component from a basketball standpoint out

2213
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:52,320
Speaker 1: for the year. We'll get back into that next. We

2214
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 1: were asking Matt Taylor the first concert he attended at

2215
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Market Square Arena, the first concert anyone could have attended

2216
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:02,000
Speaker 1: at Market Square Arena was this guy, Glenn Campbell. The

2217
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:06,640
Speaker 1: first event at MSA anniversary coming up of it, it

2218
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:11,560
Speaker 1: was September fifteenth of nineteen seventy four, that concert for

2219
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:17,160
Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell. And you know, I'm curious what the last

2220
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:20,520
Speaker 1: concert would have been at Market Square. If Market Square

2221
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:24,240
Speaker 1: was obviously closed in two thousand and one, it was

2222
02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:26,560
Speaker 1: imploded in one. I can't remember if it was two

2223
02:01:26,600 --> 02:01:28,560
Speaker 1: thousand or two thousand and one because it sat dormant

2224
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:34,520
Speaker 1: for a while. It's probably an obvious answer that I'm missing.

2225
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:36,520
Speaker 1: The last event there might have been a Pacer game

2226
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and then they shut it down, but there had to

2227
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:41,600
Speaker 1: have been a concert just before that. What we do know,

2228
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:44,080
Speaker 1: speaking of shutting it down, Eddie, is there is a

2229
02:01:44,160 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: guard for the Indiana Fever who now will not be

2230
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:49,960
Speaker 1: part of their game against the Chicago Sky tomorrow night,

2231
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:52,000
Speaker 1: nor for the rest of the year. Yep, Chloe Bibby.

2232
02:01:52,040 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if she's a guard, Dak. I think

2233
02:01:53,320 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 1: she's more of a wing type. Yeah, all for the

2234
02:01:56,560 --> 02:01:58,200
Speaker 1: rest of the year with the knee injury. Don't know

2235
02:01:58,240 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: what the uh details are, Just know it was a

2236
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:04,920
Speaker 1: left knee injury for Chloe Baby that she suffered in

2237
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 1: a warm up before one of their games within the

2238
02:02:07,960 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 1: last month or so and has not been able to

2239
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:14,080
Speaker 1: suit up since that. Again. You know, it's funny because

2240
02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I say guard back of my mind, because they've had

2241
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:21,600
Speaker 1: to rotate through ski people with the fact that the

2242
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, the between Caitlyn Clark and then obviously everything

2243
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:28,400
Speaker 1: that's gone on at that position. Seemingly every time Eddie,

2244
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:32,560
Speaker 1: they try to find somebody to give them balance in

2245
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the backcourt or on the wing also, right, I mean

2246
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 1: both of those positions. They have just been devastated by injuries.

2247
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2248
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean Erry McDonald a player they brought in midyear

2249
02:02:41,720 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 1: out for the season with an injury, Sidney Colson, a

2250
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:48,440
Speaker 1: player they signed in the offseason out with a torn

2251
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 1: acl Sophie Cunningham out for the year, Chloe Baby out

2252
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:53,640
Speaker 1: for the year. It's just I don't know if there's

2253
02:02:53,640 --> 02:02:55,640
Speaker 1: ever been a team and the w that's had to

2254
02:02:55,760 --> 02:03:00,360
Speaker 1: endure this many injuries. Before October seventeenth of ninety nine,

2255
02:03:02,520 --> 02:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Zz Top played Market Square Arena, Thank you, Laura Steele.

2256
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Would that have been the last concert at Market Square

2257
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the I'm trying to think of when the last event,

2258
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:18,480
Speaker 1: what that last pacer game took place. I'm pretty sure

2259
02:03:18,520 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: that was the in the two thousand season. Zz be

2260
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:29,400
Speaker 1: kind of a fitting closing, I guess, especially like did

2261
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 1: you like zz Top, Eddy?

2262
02:03:30,840 --> 02:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2263
02:03:31,040 --> 02:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I like zz Top. You know, the rumor always was

2264
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:35,720
Speaker 1: that zz top was named after zig Zag papers and

2265
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Top rolling papers, but I think they've disputed that right.

2266
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what what they were named after or

2267
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 1: how they came about of the name zz Top. I

2268
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 1: like the fact that supposedly it's because of zig Zag

2269
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 1: papers and Top papers. Are you familiar with either Zigzag

2270
02:03:50,480 --> 02:03:51,839
Speaker 1: papers or Top papers? Eddie?

2271
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:52,120
Speaker 4: No?

2272
02:03:52,640 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Okay, are you not you've never heard of zig zag

2273
02:03:56,720 --> 02:04:01,960
Speaker 1: papers or top papers. No, I guess now it's this

2274
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:04,080
Speaker 1: is the vape era, although I'm not saying that that's

2275
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:10,480
Speaker 1: an area of your expertise. Regardless, Eagles, Cowboys tonight, NFL

2276
02:04:10,520 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 1: season getting underway. Anre we make on our super Bowl

2277
02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:17,800
Speaker 1: predictions because I forget who'd we have? We asked Stephen

2278
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Holder about that earlier this week. We know we've gone

2279
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:25,560
Speaker 1: with our three teams. We asked somebody a super Bowl prediction,

2280
02:04:25,760 --> 02:04:32,000
Speaker 1: and uh, I forget who it was. What are the

2281
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: what teams are perceived to be the front runner here?

2282
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Who is the odds on Vegas favorite?

2283
02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:39,920
Speaker 5: Is?

2284
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I believe it's Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City? Like in that

2285
02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 1: or is it Kansas City, Baltimore, Buffalo? Is that the

2286
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:54,840
Speaker 1: top three? I know Baltimore is. I believe Baltimore is

2287
02:04:54,840 --> 02:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the favorite? Really yeah, okay, that's hard to argue. I mean,

2288
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:05,080
Speaker 1: they're very, very good. It is Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo according

2289
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 1: to the sportsbook I'm looking at, and then Kansas City.

2290
02:05:07,680 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 1: How do you rule out Kansas City? How do you

2291
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:15,360
Speaker 1: sleep on Kansas City? I mean, how do you I'm

2292
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:17,480
Speaker 1: not gonna say rule them out? But how do you

2293
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 1: turn your back on Kansas City? Haven't we done this before?

2294
02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Isn't you know what I mean? I'm gonna go with

2295
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:30,760
Speaker 1: one of the two if you gotta put you can't

2296
02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:33,720
Speaker 1: just go with favorites in both, right, Detroit fifth, green

2297
02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:40,720
Speaker 1: Bay sixth? Yeah, do you really believe in green Bay?

2298
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 1: They're the youngest roster in the NFL? No, I get that,

2299
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:46,560
Speaker 1: but like, do you really believe in green Bay? Though?

2300
02:05:47,720 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 1: It's the Micah Parsons effect? What about what about Cincinnati?

2301
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if Cincinnati is healthy, don't they have to

2302
02:05:58,440 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: be you know what I mean? I mean, if they

2303
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:03,200
Speaker 1: can just get average play defensively, Jake, Like they were

2304
02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,200
Speaker 1: so bad last year and they didn't do anything to

2305
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 1: get better. It's largely the same guys. It's just a

2306
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:14,840
Speaker 1: different system with Al Golden, I think you got a

2307
02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 1: look okay now, But there's always a surprise team, right,

2308
02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:23,120
Speaker 1: there's always one of the two teams like Cincinnati the

2309
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:24,600
Speaker 1: year they went where it's just like, wow, they got

2310
02:06:24,680 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 1: hot at the right time and out of nowhere. Right,

2311
02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 1: what about the Rams? I was just thinking the Rams,

2312
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of question market quarterback there, Right,

2313
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 1: who do we determined yesterday as they're back up behind

2314
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Stafford because Stafford Jimmy Garoppolo, that's right. I mean I

2315
02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 1: don't know that that overly excites you. I'll go, okay,

2316
02:06:47,240 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 1: what about Washington? Is that too trendy to say that

2317
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:53,760
Speaker 1: they're going to take a big step here? Like everybody

2318
02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:56,640
Speaker 1: last year was all in on Detroit, right, last year

2319
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,120
Speaker 1: was Lions. Everybody was like, oh the Lions. This year,

2320
02:06:59,120 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: big step for the Lion. Commanders and Rams are eighth.

2321
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I guess I should say Commander's Rams, Bengals all eighth

2322
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 1: with odds. And then you get into the Broncos, Vikings, Texans, Buccaneers, Chargers, Bears.

2323
02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Where are the Lions? They are fifth best plus eleven hundred.

2324
02:07:19,720 --> 02:07:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean you worry about Okay, here's the other thing

2325
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:29,640
Speaker 1: to consider. Who is going to be the best team

2326
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:34,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC South Tampa or Atlanta? Correct? I would

2327
02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:38,560
Speaker 1: say Tampa. Okay, do you.

2328
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:43,360
Speaker 4: Do?

2329
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:48,320
Speaker 1: You put Tampa as better odds than Green Bay and

2330
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:53,879
Speaker 1: Detroit only because Tampa has a higher percentage of being

2331
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: a divisional winner that gets home field for a game

2332
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:01,120
Speaker 1: or two versus either Detroita. Green Bay is gonna have

2333
02:08:01,160 --> 02:08:04,480
Speaker 1: to be a wild Card. So do you play the

2334
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: safer odds and go with Tampa. I'm not saying I'm

2335
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:11,960
Speaker 1: a believer in Tampa, but just by default and the

2336
02:08:11,960 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 1: way it stacks itself and what that means for them.

2337
02:08:16,360 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people think San Fran, what

2338
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:22,560
Speaker 1: are the Niners? Where are the Niners odds? What are

2339
02:08:22,560 --> 02:08:28,839
Speaker 1: they showing they are plus eighteen hundred? That's before Washington

2340
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 1: and after Green Bay? You know what? That seems a

2341
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:34,080
Speaker 1: little rich though. Honestly a lot of people think San

2342
02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 1: Frans overrated and that they're gonna come back down to

2343
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:40,160
Speaker 1: earth what they had. I'll say San Fran. Okay, San

2344
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: Fran in the NFC, and I'll go with you know,

2345
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: I've already I've already kind of spent my stretch role here.

2346
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 1: I'll go with Baltimore in the AFC.

2347
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:51,720
Speaker 2: So I'll go.

2348
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:53,960
Speaker 1: Baltimore, Sand Fran. Haven't they played in the Super Bowl

2349
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:56,680
Speaker 1: twice already together against one another? Yes? And the lights

2350
02:08:56,680 --> 02:09:00,520
Speaker 1: out one right? Yeah, I mean that's not very original

2351
02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:04,600
Speaker 1: by me, but I'm just going I'm not sitting here

2352
02:09:04,640 --> 02:09:06,720
Speaker 1: breaking it down and analyzing it and looking at it.

2353
02:09:06,760 --> 02:09:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm just there. We go Baltimore, San fran I'm going

2354
02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs Rams, and the Chiefs win, you're back on top.

2355
02:09:13,920 --> 02:09:15,880
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to argue that. I mean, I'm not

2356
02:09:15,920 --> 02:09:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and I hate to me that I'm doing.

2357
02:09:18,360 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm going with where I'm going just to somewhat be

2358
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:22,960
Speaker 1: the iconic. I just need to see Lamar Win in

2359
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that's fair. I do think hardball is the

2360
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:28,720
Speaker 1: heck of a coach that and you know what's funny

2361
02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:31,120
Speaker 1: is the power of suggestion. I just look at Baltimore

2362
02:09:31,120 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: and I always say to myself, like they're going to

2363
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:35,080
Speaker 1: be great defensively, I mean, are they like ray Lewis

2364
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 1: and Ed Reed ain't walking through that door, But I

2365
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: feel like they are. I just automatically the branding of

2366
02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens is they're like this this smash mouth,

2367
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:47,520
Speaker 1: make your mouth bleed football team. And I have no

2368
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:50,680
Speaker 1: idea if that's I mean, Lamar Jackson is a big

2369
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:53,480
Speaker 1: reason why they are what they are. And yet that

2370
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:56,520
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with their defense. Right, Their defense

2371
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:58,960
Speaker 1: is going to be really good. They always are. I mean,

2372
02:09:58,960 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 1: that's that's their whole mind. I'm talking about like the

2373
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 1: best that they could be the best in the league

2374
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 1: They've got Baltimore will be a fun visiting. I think

2375
02:10:06,600 --> 02:10:08,080
Speaker 1: I'd be a fun home game to go to. Also,

2376
02:10:08,160 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 1: just because I love the city of Baltimore. I think

2377
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 1: it's cool. Purple and black is a nice mixture as well,

2378
02:10:12,640 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 1: especially if it's a night game. I'm more in black

2379
02:10:15,560 --> 02:10:17,280
Speaker 1: tennis shoes today, and you told me I don't look

2380
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:21,200
Speaker 1: weird in these. No, Okay, good jamb We will do

02:11:02,640 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 5: you were here.

2395
02:11:04,040 --> 02:11:06,000
Speaker 1: You know what I might have to swing through there.

2396
02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:07,960
Speaker 1: I've got to go up on the north side at

2397
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:10,120
Speaker 1: some point today, so I might have to swing back

2398
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:11,480
Speaker 1: to say hello, I do.

2399
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 5: I think that is a very special plan. You got

2400
02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:16,000
Speaker 5: it right there, Well done.

2401
02:11:15,960 --> 02:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. What's lined up for the big show today?

2402
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:21,160
Speaker 5: Well all again our latch of the bourbon locks lunas

2403
02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:23,760
Speaker 5: with tequila shots. Are you having a difficult time selecting

2404
02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:26,320
Speaker 5: between the Dolphins and the Colts in week number one

2405
02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:27,520
Speaker 5: at all?

2406
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:28,760
Speaker 2: Is it difficult?

2407
02:11:29,480 --> 02:11:32,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'll say for the sake of the conversation, Yes,

2408
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,480
Speaker 1: But in reality, I think the Colts are going to win. Man,

2409
02:11:34,520 --> 02:11:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I think they're going to win.

2410
02:11:40,040 --> 02:11:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2411
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:45,080
Speaker 5: The one thing that stands out to me is how

2412
02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 5: good Miami starts the season and in a moment they

2413
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:55,960
Speaker 5: are so gifted and so talented and right now healthy

2414
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:59,120
Speaker 5: at positions in which you need to be healthy. That

2415
02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:02,360
Speaker 5: is what is my concern, more so than anything else.

2416
02:12:02,680 --> 02:12:04,320
Speaker 5: Like if this were later on in the season, I

2417
02:12:04,320 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 5: think I would have much less concern. Like seven and

2418
02:12:07,040 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 5: four in the first month of the season under Mike McDaniel,

2419
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 5: and then things for them kind of go down the toilet,

2420
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:16,800
Speaker 5: and obviously that goes as their quarterback injury situation goes,

2421
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:19,160
Speaker 5: So that that part does concern me.

2422
02:12:19,320 --> 02:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they definitely have I think they're gonna be

2423
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 1: a This is going to be a good first test

2424
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:27,320
Speaker 1: for that lou Anarremo defense because of the fact that

2425
02:12:27,400 --> 02:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Miami is gonna want to get their you know, waddle

2426
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,440
Speaker 1: and heal and you know, get those guys out where

2427
02:12:33,480 --> 02:12:37,080
Speaker 1: they can they can get chunk plays. But in talking

2428
02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to Chris Perkins earlier, for example, I mean, they do

2429
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:41,720
Speaker 1: not have much of a running game at all to

2430
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: keep a defense at bay. So maybe that means Indianapolis

2431
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 1: is able to kind of corral things a little bit

2432
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 1: or or keep that inside a box. But that to

2433
02:12:50,800 --> 02:12:52,960
Speaker 1: me is going to be interesting. But I I just

2434
02:12:53,880 --> 02:12:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. For whatever reason, I think I like

2435
02:12:56,520 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 1: this roster and I feel like, I know, it's been

2436
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:02,040
Speaker 1: eleven years since they one an opening game, but I

2437
02:13:02,080 --> 02:13:03,080
Speaker 1: think they do it Sunday.

2438
02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:06,480
Speaker 5: Well, they need to, There's no doubt about it, because

2439
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:09,320
Speaker 5: if we select them on Sunday and they don't win,

2440
02:13:09,360 --> 02:13:12,160
Speaker 5: there's zero away We're selecting them right against Denver.

2441
02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Correct with the schedule, with that, Yeah.

2442
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,800
Speaker 5: You got to start out at least two and one,

2443
02:13:18,040 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 5: don't you with this particular schedule. I mean, you really

2444
02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:23,040
Speaker 5: ideally like to see them start out three and zero,

2445
02:13:23,360 --> 02:13:25,920
Speaker 5: but at least two and one, or isn't that a mess?

2446
02:13:26,520 --> 02:13:29,440
Speaker 1: You would think they've got to win in Tennessee, right,

2447
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, my gosh, like the Titans. You you drive past,

2448
02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:36,240
Speaker 1: as I just did, I think it's still Nissan Stadium,

2449
02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:39,640
Speaker 1: but you drive past the Titans Stadium and the new

2450
02:13:39,680 --> 02:13:41,960
Speaker 1: one being developed is right next door to it. So

2451
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,560
Speaker 1: you see all this construction and building, and it's like, well,

2452
02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:47,240
Speaker 1: is that not the most appropriate thing for a franchise

2453
02:13:47,320 --> 02:13:49,280
Speaker 1: right now? Because that's what the Titans are is they're

2454
02:13:49,320 --> 02:13:52,320
Speaker 1: just completely rebuilding and and you know, so you got

2455
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:54,120
Speaker 1: to get that one. At the very least, you got

2456
02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:55,560
Speaker 1: to get one of those frost and then I think

2457
02:13:55,600 --> 02:13:57,080
Speaker 1: if you get one of the first two, you're at

2458
02:13:57,120 --> 02:14:00,640
Speaker 1: least two and one. You're keeping yourself in play. That's

2459
02:14:00,640 --> 02:14:01,280
Speaker 1: the way I look.

2460
02:14:01,160 --> 02:14:03,600
Speaker 5: At it, no doubt, no doubt. I view that the

2461
02:14:03,600 --> 02:14:05,920
Speaker 5: same way. So what else has been going on today?

2462
02:14:05,920 --> 02:14:07,760
Speaker 5: I've missed a little bit of it, but I'm assuming

2463
02:14:07,960 --> 02:14:10,680
Speaker 5: you guys were all over the place today with stuff.

2464
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:14,040
Speaker 1: We were We talked obviously about that. We discussed if

2465
02:14:14,120 --> 02:14:16,360
Speaker 1: you could go on the road to see any team

2466
02:14:16,400 --> 02:14:18,120
Speaker 1: at home in the NFL, where would you want to go.

2467
02:14:18,880 --> 02:14:20,920
Speaker 1: We had Will Power on the show, which was interesting

2468
02:14:20,960 --> 02:14:23,560
Speaker 1: because he talked about the departure with Team Penske and

2469
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:26,360
Speaker 1: when he knew that was going to be a possibility

2470
02:14:26,400 --> 02:14:28,640
Speaker 1: and flying up to Detroit and meeting with Roger Penske

2471
02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:32,320
Speaker 1: about it. That was interesting. And then we obviously previewed

2472
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:35,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the Colts and Dolphins. So yeah, we've

2473
02:14:35,160 --> 02:14:38,200
Speaker 1: had a lot going on and sort of look forward

2474
02:14:38,240 --> 02:14:40,320
Speaker 1: to what you've got going between now and six. Who

2475
02:14:40,360 --> 02:14:41,720
Speaker 1: else is joining the program?

2476
02:14:42,360 --> 02:14:43,880
Speaker 2: Andrew Kettalan of CBS.

2477
02:14:43,960 --> 02:14:47,440
Speaker 5: He is the unofficial national voice of the Colts, Andrew

2478
02:14:47,520 --> 02:14:50,800
Speaker 5: kettle On so that broadcast team has it on Sunday.

2479
02:14:50,840 --> 02:14:53,000
Speaker 5: He joins us today my chapel coming up at the

2480
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:56,200
Speaker 5: five o'clock hour, a lot on the latest to the

2481
02:14:57,680 --> 02:15:03,000
Speaker 5: celebration if you will, the life of owner, Jim irsay, certainly.

2482
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:04,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if you'd call it. I guess it's

2483
02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:08,480
Speaker 5: a celebration an honoring what they're going to do coming

2484
02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:11,240
Speaker 5: up on Sunday too, it is a pretty big deal.

2485
02:15:11,240 --> 02:15:13,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure we'll talk to Mike about that because of

2486
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:15,760
Speaker 5: his history around here with Jim Irsay and with this

2487
02:15:15,840 --> 02:15:16,440
Speaker 5: Colts team.

2488
02:15:16,520 --> 02:15:18,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, a lot to really get after.

2489
02:15:19,240 --> 02:15:22,080
Speaker 5: It's just so much jake of an unknown and I

2490
02:15:22,200 --> 02:15:25,120
Speaker 5: know that it's like around the NFL's the same way,

2491
02:15:25,640 --> 02:15:28,880
Speaker 5: but with this particular game, I mean it could go

2492
02:15:29,120 --> 02:15:32,480
Speaker 5: either way, could be well or go haywire for either

2493
02:15:32,560 --> 02:15:34,960
Speaker 5: one of these teams at the beginning of the year here.

2494
02:15:34,880 --> 02:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Totally agree. All right, last thing, John, first concert you

2495
02:15:38,120 --> 02:15:39,840
Speaker 1: ever saw at Market Square was what.

2496

Speaker 5: Quiet Riot at Nazareth Nazareth opening for Quiet Riot.

2497
02:15:45,600 --> 02:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Do you know the first time I've ever smelled weed?

2498
02:15:47,520 --> 02:15:47,960
Speaker 4: Did too?

2499
02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Do you know the lead singer at Quiet Riot who's

2500
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:53,480
Speaker 1: no longer with us? The lead singer at Quiet Riot

2501
02:15:53,520 --> 02:15:56,600
Speaker 1: is the brother of the plastic surgeon doctor that has

2502
02:15:56,600 --> 02:15:57,600
Speaker 1: a reality show.

Speaker 5: any other song besides come On Feel the Noise that

2506
02:16:08,560 --> 02:16:12,240
Speaker 5: was spelled in a very unique, original and very exciting

2507
02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:13,760
Speaker 5: for a thirteen year old way.

2508
02:16:13,800 --> 02:16:16,760

Speaker 2: Wasn't that them Metal Health Bang your Head?

02:16:39,080 --> 02:16:40,880
Speaker 1: you can almost smell it from here when you're talking

2517
02:16:40,920 --> 02:16:41,160
Speaker 1: about it.

2518
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:43,320
Speaker 2: I know what, right you, good man?

2519
02:16:43,480 --> 02:16:46,200
Speaker 5: That's that's back when that's back when that white castle

2520
02:16:46,720 --> 02:16:49,279
Speaker 5: that was right down there on South Street was really popular.

2521
02:16:49,480 --> 02:16:52,039
Speaker 5: I remember remember that white cow My goodness, the.

2522
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Only place open judges shooting each other in the parking lot.

2523
02:16:54,840 --> 02:16:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

2524
02:16:56,680 --> 02:16:58,960
Speaker 1: All right, John, we'll look forward to it three until six.

2525
02:16:59,120 --> 02:17:02,520
Speaker 1: Joe's up in Caston, right, you got it all here,

2526
02:17:02,800 --> 02:17:04,959
Speaker 1: J and B will be there. We will throw it

2527
02:17:05,000 --> 02:17:07,440
Speaker 1: out to him here in just a couple of minutes.

2528
02:17:08,200 --> 02:17:09,720
Speaker 1: But when we put a tie on all of it.

2529
02:17:09,760 --> 02:17:13,080
Speaker 1: First off, Eddie, somebody had asked me if the will

2530
02:17:13,160 --> 02:17:15,440
Speaker 1: Power interview will be available later. We asked you wait

2531
02:17:15,520 --> 02:17:17,120
Speaker 1: until six to listen to it after the show, but

2532
02:17:17,160 --> 02:17:18,760
Speaker 1: will that be up on the podcast for him? It

2533
02:17:18,840 --> 02:17:20,879
Speaker 1: is currently up on the podcast page if you have

2534
02:17:20,959 --> 02:17:23,200
Speaker 1: interest in going back and listening to it. Yes, I

2535
02:17:23,280 --> 02:17:27,360
Speaker 1: thought his I thought he made an interesting point. Or

2536
02:17:27,720 --> 02:17:31,760
Speaker 1: I would say confession, that's the wrong way. But when

2537
02:17:31,760 --> 02:17:37,440
Speaker 1: he mentioned that Roger Penske asked him to fly up

2538
02:17:37,480 --> 02:17:39,160
Speaker 1: to Denver. He flew up to Denver to meet with

2539
02:17:39,240 --> 02:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Roger Penske. That would be a very intimidating I would think,

2540
02:17:42,560 --> 02:17:45,880
Speaker 1: like meeting, like you go in and and and you say, look,

2541
02:17:45,879 --> 02:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I want to be more than one year, and basically

2542
02:17:48,360 --> 02:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Penske says, well, you're right, we were only going to

2543
02:17:50,240 --> 02:17:52,400
Speaker 1: offer you a one year contract. And you're like, okay,

2544
02:17:52,520 --> 02:17:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, and Roger saying it sounds to me like

2545
02:17:54,680 --> 02:17:56,440
Speaker 1: you've already made up your mind that you're going elsewhere.

2546
02:17:57,160 --> 02:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Well I have, okay, Well, and I think it was

2547
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:04,199
Speaker 1: in amable breakup between the two. Now what's interesting is Power,

2548
02:18:04,440 --> 02:18:08,640
Speaker 1: technically speaking, is still a Penske employee until the end

2549
02:18:08,640 --> 02:18:11,680
Speaker 1: of the calendar year, so he does not technically become

2550
02:18:11,680 --> 02:18:16,760
Speaker 1: an and Dretti employee until January and and then you know, now,

2551
02:18:16,760 --> 02:18:18,199
Speaker 1: does that mean that he can't go in the shop

2552
02:18:18,280 --> 02:18:21,360
Speaker 1: talk to the guys that I don't think that. Does

2553
02:18:21,400 --> 02:18:25,560
Speaker 1: he pick his strategist or does ANDRETTI do that? And

2554
02:18:25,320 --> 02:18:28,400
Speaker 1: in dready likelihood, and I'm guessing it'll be Brian Hurda

2555
02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:31,040
Speaker 1: because that's who Well, I shouldn't say that, because because

2556
02:18:31,640 --> 02:18:33,480
Speaker 1: I got to think of who the strategist was for Colton,

2557
02:18:33,520 --> 02:18:36,320
Speaker 1: because it was not Brian Hurta anymore correct. They moved

2558
02:18:36,360 --> 02:18:38,240
Speaker 1: Brian off of Colton's cars. They put him on to

2559
02:18:38,320 --> 02:18:41,560
Speaker 1: it Ericson. Yeah, that's a good that is a very good. No,

2560
02:18:41,640 --> 02:18:46,240
Speaker 1: he was on with Kirkwood. Okay. So and that's the

2561
02:18:46,280 --> 02:18:48,360
Speaker 1: other question, is you know is Ericson back? I mean

2562
02:18:48,440 --> 02:18:51,400
Speaker 1: most say that, yes, in fact, no question he's going

2563
02:18:51,400 --> 02:18:53,720
Speaker 1: to be back. There's some conversation it could be Dennis Hauger,

2564
02:18:53,720 --> 02:18:56,680
Speaker 1: but I think Hagar could end up now at coin Racing.

2565
02:18:56,879 --> 02:18:59,040
Speaker 1: What's the night look like for you tonight, Eddie? Obviously

2566
02:18:59,080 --> 02:19:01,320
Speaker 1: you're going to be watching the game, right yep. I'm

2567
02:19:01,320 --> 02:19:03,879
Speaker 1: gonna do some prep for our show tomorrow. That way

2568
02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:08,039
Speaker 1: we're all set. I'll probably sit there watch some NFL.

2569
02:19:09,080 --> 02:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I have anything else going on tonight.

2570
02:19:11,160 --> 02:19:13,200
Speaker 1: Maybe watch the Reds lose again if they're playing. If not,

2571
02:19:13,280 --> 02:19:15,879
Speaker 1: then good, let's win for the rest today, the Reds

2572
02:19:16,120 --> 02:19:18,760
Speaker 1: lose again. He said, they've lost like ten of the

2573
02:19:18,800 --> 02:19:21,080
Speaker 1: last third. Idea, it's not fun, Jacob, you knew who's

2574
02:19:21,080 --> 02:19:25,959
Speaker 1: actually playing pretty well. The Mets, unfortunately, don't look now,

2575
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:29,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who actually is is putting is surprisingly decent,

2576
02:19:30,879 --> 02:19:33,760
Speaker 1: surprisingly decent of the last since the All Star Break.

2577
02:19:34,360 --> 02:19:39,439
Speaker 1: The San Francisco Giants. Nope, the Chicago White Sox competent,

2578
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:43,400
Speaker 1: competent by White Sox standards, competent since the All Star breaking,

2579
02:19:43,520 --> 02:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Colson Montgomery. That's right, Pride of Indiana, Right, that's right,

2580
02:19:49,320 --> 02:19:52,480
Speaker 1: and you have we have definitively declared you are the

2581
02:19:52,520 --> 02:19:54,880
Speaker 1: winner in the Baseball Beer Bet. Right, there is no

2582
02:19:56,480 --> 02:19:58,560
Speaker 1: there is no question about that at this point. I

2583
02:19:58,560 --> 02:20:01,160
Speaker 1: don't think that you way now listener chat are not

2584
02:20:01,200 --> 02:20:03,160
Speaker 1: coming back. So that spot of cal that you got

2585
02:20:03,240 --> 02:20:05,440
Speaker 1: me from Milwaukee is your payoff? Okay?

2586
02:20:05,480 --> 02:20:05,760
Speaker 4: Fair?

2587
02:20:06,120 --> 02:20:10,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the the Blue Jays have really played well

2588
02:20:10,080 --> 02:20:12,400
Speaker 1: for you, Oh my gosh. Yeah, I had no idea

2589
02:20:12,480 --> 02:20:14,520
Speaker 1: they were gonna be, you know, literally the best team

2590
02:20:14,520 --> 02:20:18,320
Speaker 1: in basically do you think that I have not one,

2591
02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:20,680
Speaker 1: but two Blue Jay's hats? By the way, yeah, I'll

2592
02:20:20,720 --> 02:20:22,959
Speaker 1: jump on the bandwagon here. I've kind of followed them

2593
02:20:22,959 --> 02:20:25,480
Speaker 1: this year. Do you think, though, that they can close

2594
02:20:25,520 --> 02:20:28,360
Speaker 1: it out? I do, because there are teams that have

2595
02:20:28,440 --> 02:20:30,560
Speaker 1: these great years and then the postseason comes and they

2596
02:20:30,680 --> 02:20:32,240
Speaker 1: just it's over. You know what I mean? I do

2597
02:20:32,360 --> 02:20:35,959
Speaker 1: not no fence to Toronto and no fence to the Reds,

2598
02:20:36,000 --> 02:20:39,400
Speaker 1: but uh, the fact that the Blue Jays gave up

2599
02:20:39,440 --> 02:20:42,000
Speaker 1: eighteen runs nine runs each of the last two games

2600
02:20:42,000 --> 02:20:44,720
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, in large part because of their bullpens a

2601
02:20:44,800 --> 02:20:47,760
Speaker 1: major red flag. Like, like, do the Brewers stay like

2602
02:20:47,840 --> 02:20:51,720
Speaker 1: this and become because you know, the Brewers right now

2603
02:20:51,720 --> 02:20:55,680
Speaker 1: the best team in the NL? Al? No, the Brewers

2604
02:20:55,680 --> 02:20:57,360
Speaker 1: are the best team in the NL. Sorry, we're talking

2605
02:20:57,360 --> 02:20:59,279
Speaker 1: about Blue Jays and you switched it up on that. Sorry.

2606
02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:03,320
Speaker 1: For example, like, does anybody really think the Brewers are

2607
02:21:03,360 --> 02:21:05,959
Speaker 1: going to stay this way and go all the way

2608
02:21:05,959 --> 02:21:08,959
Speaker 1: to the World Series? Or don't you think the Dodgers

2609
02:21:09,200 --> 02:21:11,800
Speaker 1: or the Phillies either one get them in a series.

2610
02:21:12,840 --> 02:21:15,560
Speaker 1: I think the Phillies can get them, Yeah, I mean,

2611
02:21:16,600 --> 02:21:19,520
Speaker 1: because they they have the experience and there's just a

2612
02:21:19,560 --> 02:21:22,240
Speaker 1: way in postseason baseball that you have to play in.

2613
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:26,720
Speaker 1: I think Phillies got it. Milwaukee, I don't know if

2614
02:21:26,800 --> 02:21:29,280
Speaker 1: you can continue to rely on just you know, contact,

2615
02:21:29,840 --> 02:21:32,080
Speaker 1: Do we win you games in the postseason? Just because

2616
02:21:32,080 --> 02:21:34,200
Speaker 1: that's what the that's their game. They don't hit home runds.

2617
02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:37,080
Speaker 1: They go for contact and they move you station station

2618
02:21:37,160 --> 02:21:41,360
Speaker 1: to station, base to base. Play, excellent defense. They have

2619
02:21:41,440 --> 02:21:45,640
Speaker 1: some solid starting pitching, but it's not great, and they

2620
02:21:45,680 --> 02:21:51,480
Speaker 1: have a super bullpen. I think, by the way, watch

2621
02:21:51,600 --> 02:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Detroit's gonna win the al I know they they've hit

2622
02:21:54,720 --> 02:21:57,600
Speaker 1: skid marks, but they've they've been. They start out the

2623
02:21:57,640 --> 02:22:00,879
Speaker 1: year so good and then they've they've just found I

2624
02:22:00,879 --> 02:22:03,640
Speaker 1: think their most they've been the most consistent. Wire to

2625
02:22:03,720 --> 02:22:07,959
Speaker 1: wire clubs are in an interesting spot too. My parents

2626
02:22:07,959 --> 02:22:09,840
Speaker 1: would love to see the Cubs get it done, trust me.

2627
02:22:10,360 --> 02:22:13,200
Speaker 1: All right, John is up next, Joe's up in Castleton,

2628
