00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: presented by Franciscan Health. Found out yesterday Kevin Bowen that

00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor will be our official starter on whole one.

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 3: Everybody.

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: It's a shotgun start, but everybody, when they come through

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: the first hole on the tee, they will get the

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: rousing Matt Taylor treatment and be introduced as an individual golfer.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 4: That would be cool. That's tremendous. I love that. That

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 4: is That is great.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 5: Is Matt Taylor a top five human?

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: Great grace right there.

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 6: Last Thursday I attended his trivia night. Great great work

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 6: from Matt Taylor. I think anybody that does Indiana sports

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 6: trivia will enjoy it. So that was at the Bulldog

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 6: where I'll be tomorrow night for a little small ball

20
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 6: Ofvan curt Good jack and how.

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 7: Did Matt Taylor ask a trivia question? And if you

22
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 7: get it, your group gets it right, you get to

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 7: move up fifty yards or something like.

24
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: You know, I suggested that for Jake Marry. Are we

25
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: doing that this year?

26
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: Jeff, It's all on the table right now. I'm fine

27
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: with that.

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: That would so I'm not organizing the tournament, but I

29
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: will make that suggestion.

30
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 8: That would be so fitting for Jake. Honestly, it would

31
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 8: be fits him right, Yes, he does.

32
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: So we go.

33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: Also picking up scene, Tucker Barnhart told us he's trying

34
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: to get a force them together for the tournament yesterday.

35
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.

36
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: Eddie White, who you can't have a golf tournament in

37
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Indianapolis without Eddie White, and he'll be joining us from

38
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: the baser.

39
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,479

52
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: it's been a busy week in the National Football League,

53
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: and of course, probably the biggest story to come out

54
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: of this league wide was the.

55
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: Purported the proposed trade.

56
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: That the Raiders and the Ravens were gonna have with

57
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Max Crosby going to Baltimore for two first round picks.

58
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: He goes there, they fail his physical. I guess multiple

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: doctors failed the physical. But while he was while they

60
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: were in the middle of doing this, they did have

61
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson around and they were talking to him. It

62
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: comes out later they say, people say that looks fishy. James,

63
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: They say, oh, we were going to try to sign both.

64
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: Is there any way they could have signed both?

65
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: I'm not sure.

66
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 8: You know, I've been knee deep in Colt's coverage in

67
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 8: their cap space. It sounds like it's one of those things, Jeff,

68
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 8: where it's probably probably too good to be true and

69
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 8: you want to try to say face. But the bottom

70
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 8: line is that Max Crosby is a Raider, and when

71
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 8: you look at Trey Hendrickson, he gets the bag to

72
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 8: become a Raven.

73
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: The way they went about it though, if they truly

74
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: knew that they wanted to back out of this thing

75
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: at one point in time, and even while he's in

76
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: the building getting his physical, Max Crosby, they're talking to

77
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson and now they're trying to spend it as

78
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: they were looking at maybe signing both of them. Does

79
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: that feel fishy enough that there's anything the NFL could

80
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: do or is it just other teams are like, hey,

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: don't deal with the Ravens because they're kind of sketchy.

82
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

83
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything because that is the agreed

84
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: to terms period. Yeah, you know, that's the gray area

85
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 6: of all of this. So, yes, did they act in

86
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 6: good faith? Probably not. You know, I brought it up

87
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 6: yesterday on the show. Back in twenty nineteen, I think

88
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 6: it was the Ravens initially signed Ryan Grant, a wide

89
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 6: out who had never missed a game of the NFL,

90
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: to a notable contract, and then the whole agreed to

91
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 6: terms a few days later turned into a failed physical. Ironically,

92
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 6: the Colts then signed Ryan Grant the next week, and

93
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 6: in that time the Ravens ended up going out and

94
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 6: getting Michael Crabtree. So if you can think back to

95
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen, at the time, Michael Crabtree was viewed as

96
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: a better white out than Ryan Grant, I would say

97
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 6: Max Crosby is probably viewed as a better player than

98
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: Trey Hendrickson. Now, granted, that's two first round picks, so

99
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 6: that's I think the difference in this.

100
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: It's they I think got.

101
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 6: A little bit of a hey, wait a minute here,

102
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 6: If we can get Hendrickson and don't have to give

103
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: up two first round picks, let's maybe maneuver here as

104
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 6: a franchise.

105
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 4: But to me again, this has a major Colts domino.

106
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 6: And you know this news broke for us in the

107
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 6: nine o'clock hour yesterday, Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens, and

108
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 6: at the time it was like, all right, where do

109
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 6: the Colts pivot at their biggest need? Now again, yesterday,

110
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 6: did we see a ton of edge rushers sign Not really,

111
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 6: but we did see Bradley Chubb to the Bills and James,

112
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 6: I know that's a name that you had brought up before,

113
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 6: and I think naturally Colts fans know that name because

114
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 6: he was the fourth overall pick in the year that

115
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 6: they took quint Nelson a couple spots later. And Chubb

116
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 6: has some obvious question marks, but he also has some

117
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 6: notable production. He signed what was it three years I

118
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 6: think just north of forty million, yeah, with Buffalo. So

119
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 6: that's my question again, as we said here on Thursday,

120
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 6: the Colt's biggest need this offseason, is it going to

121
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 6: get a substantial investment or not, because right now I'd

122
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 6: argue it hasn't.

123
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

124
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 8: I do think that the big names are kind of

125
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 8: gone at this point. So what are you looking at

126
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 8: when it comes to adding to your edge rushers? I

127
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 8: know you probably have to add at least one more

128
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 8: I think starting caliber edge rusher.

129
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 5: In free agency. Who that could be?

130
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 8: I can't really predict you right now, but to me,

131
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 8: does that place more impatis on your Day two picks?

132
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 8: Are you drafting the edge rusher on Day two in

133
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 8: the second round or the third round to say hey,

134
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 8: you're coming in and starting possibly, which would be a

135
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 8: big ask I think, especially after you drafted a second

136
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 8: rounder last year defensive end j T two Moolo out

137
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 8: and he barely played. So the Colts still have a

138
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 8: lot of things I think figure out. But on top

139
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 8: of that, I feel like they've you know, done what

140
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 8: they were supposed to do to retain certain players. But

141
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 8: the question I keep getting asked you all is Okay, well,

142
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 8: is this team on paper better than what we saw

143
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 8: last year? And right now I would say probably not,

144
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 8: because you haven't filled it out yet. You have a

145
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 8: lot more losses, I would think, and to keep players leaving,

146
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 8: then you have players who have stayed here. When I

147
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 8: say key players leaving, I never expected Daniel Jones or

148
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 8: Ali Peace to leave really, you know, Alex kind of

149
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 8: started with it a little bit. But now that those

150
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 8: two are back, I'm like, Okay, what changes about your team?

151
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm getting at, like what changes have

152
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 8: you made that what indicate that you're getting better?

153
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 5: And right now?

154
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 8: And again it's incomplete, like you know, you asked me

155
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 8: to grade it, Jeff, But maybe incomplete probably a better

156
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 8: term to use. But yeah, right now I could not

157
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 8: say the culture a better team. You have to kind

158
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 8: of figure that out.

159
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, I would agree on that. We talked a

160
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 6: little bit earlier about Michael Pittman Junior. And that aspect

161
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 6: to it of like, okay, you know, where is white

162
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 6: out on a need to me? When I hear the

163
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 6: phrase like, oh, you can manufacture a pass rush.

164
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: I think that's such a ludicrous comment.

165
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: Nah, sometimes you just need dude, You need dudes, right.

166
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 6: And the Colts have been trying to manufacture a pass

167
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 6: rush for a decade, Like could you get around not

168
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: having Michael Pittman Junior. I think you have a better

169
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 6: chance of getting around not having Michael Pittman Junior than

170
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 6: you do manufacturing pass rush if you want to compare

171
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 6: those two, you know, Okay, a little increase here in

172
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: Tyler Warren, Hey, Alex, he would have got some growth. Hey,

173
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: Josh Towns is a nice pass catcher. And frankly, I

174
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 6: do trust Shane Sichins schematically more than I trust what

175
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 6: the Colts have done on the defensive side of the ball.

176
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 4: So that's where I sit here.

177
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 6: And yeah, James, you know incomplete, you know, but if

178
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 6: we're giving daily updates on free agency, which we do

179
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: seven to en am Monday through Friday, right now, I

180
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: struggle to see where this team has actually gotten better, right, Right,

181
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 6: that's a good point.

182
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: And that's where I was going to go, was my

183
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: question last night.

184
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: But Ryan had the same question this morning, so I'll

185
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: bring it up from him on the text line, can

186
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: you explain to us how the Colts defense is getting

187
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: better with these signings, no money, no first round picks.

188
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Kind of feels like they're just tread and water right now.

189
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 7: All I feel like is they've run it back and

190
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 7: then they just paid some guys more money, different names.

191
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 6: Right well, I don't know if I'd fully grew with

192
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 6: running back because if you look at it, starting wise,

193
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 6: they quit, he Pay's gone, so you need a new

194
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 6: defensive end starter. Zion Franklin's gone, so you need a

195
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 6: new linebacker starter. And now Nick Cross is gone. And

196
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 6: again that's just on defense. Michael Pittman Junior's gone offense,

197
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 6: Braydon Smith's gone at right tackle. I mean they've actually

198
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 6: had a lot of turnover from like actual starters.

199
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: But to your point, mark.

200
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 6: The filling the voids of those five guys leaving, that's

201
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 6: where you haven't seen a lot of just out of

202
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 6: the building newcomers. I'd argue, James, what they have signed?

203
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 6: What do we have three defensive linemen and I guess

204
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 6: traded for one, is that right, arden Key, Michael Clemmons,

205
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 6: the dude from Kansas City, Derek Noddy, Yeah, and then

206
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 6: Kolby Wooden.

207
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they traded. That's really it of the newcomers.

208
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 5: And I'd argue, are like, we're gonna throw you in there.

209
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: And start a lot of those are just death right.

210
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I would say yes, as far as running back,

211
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 7: they paid you know, Jones and Pierce guys more money

212
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 7: to come back. And then as far as you know,

213
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 7: ancillary pieces and all that, they just have filled holes

214
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 7: with other guys. But you don't really they're not really

215
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 7: any game changers or anything like that.

216
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I see it for Sam Market, it's kind

217
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 8: of like, well they're different names, but they're pretty much

218
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 8: the same caliber of player. And so where have you

219
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 8: looked at to perhaps add at a starter? But where

220
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 8: have you truly upgraded exactly? But speaking of you know,

221
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 8: signing players back, Alec Pierce did meet with the media yesterday,

222
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 8: Mark I know, I actually to pull this audio. At

223
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 8: the end of his press conference, he was telling us,

224
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 8: you know, how big really throughout the whole press conference

225
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 8: it was for Daniel Jones to be here and for

226
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 8: him to join rejoin Daniel Jones to try to build

227
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 8: even more what they had last year to those first

228
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 8: ten games of the season, and I got a chance

229
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 8: to ask him, why does he believe in Daniel Jones

230
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 8: given everything? You know, I know you had a great

231
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 8: start to the year, but you got the injury. He

232
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 8: the players seem to love him, So I want to

233
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 8: ask Alec that. And here's what he had to say.

234
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 9: Obviously, if you just look at how we're playing, just

235
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 9: like the purely like the numbers wise, and like how

236
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 9: dominatet we were early in the season, Like that's that's

237
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 9: the big thing and the kind of the obvious thing

238
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 9: I think for everyone to look at. But then I

239
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 9: would say, really just to just who he is as

240
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 9: a person and how he works and how he prepares.

241
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 9: I think that is something that gives us like so

242
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 9: much confidence because I just know, like he's he's going

243
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 9: to be ready to go, and he's going to be

244
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 9: prepared as well as he can for the game. And

245
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 9: I think obviously the quarterback is kind of like the

246
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 9: leader and in the like the heart of the team,

247
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 9: and I think we all as a team kind of

248
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 9: feed off that and just like I feel like preparation

249
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 9: is confidence, you know, And I think that allows us

250
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 9: go into the game feeling confident because we just feel

251
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 9: prepared because it's like, I know, this guy knows exactly

252
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 9: what he like, everything he needs to know. I like,

253
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 9: going into this game about the game plan. He could

254
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 9: probably read the game plan to you, like just out

255
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 9: of his mind. So I think that's the biggest thing.

256
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: There's no question that Daniel Jones was healthy last year.

257
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: That offense was humming.

258
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: You can talk about the quality of opponent whatever you want,

259
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: but they were putting up historic numbers in those first

260
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: seven eight weeks of the season. But once he got

261
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: hurt and teams realized that he was hurt with that

262
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: broken leg.

263
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: And then eventually we saw the season ending.

264
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: Injury, it felt like from that point on, teams are like, oh, okay,

265
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: well he's playing left handed, let's just shut down Jonathan

266
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: Taylor in the running game. And that was kind of

267
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: where the offense went to die. And then of course,

268
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: once we lost him for the season, that was all

269
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: she wrote.

270
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: For the rest of the season.

271
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: There were no more wins coming to Colts Way, And

272
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: so I don't think anybody's mad at Daniel Jones for

273
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: what we saw those first eight to nine weeks of

274
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: the season. Kevin, The question is how much of a

275
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: season do you get out of this guy moving forward?

276
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

277
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 6: And you know again, I will probably sound like a

278
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 6: broken record here over the next handful of months. But

279
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 6: to me, two very different questions. One when is he

280
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 6: cleared one? Two when is he himself?

281
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

282
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 8: And another point that Alec made throughout his presscomb by

283
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 8: the way he was sharp. I mean he had on

284
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 8: the green suit he walked in. I said, boy, you

285
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 8: look like money, and I mean, my goodness.

286
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 4: That which looked like some money.

287
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 8: Well and not have to watch that the forest Buckner

288
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 8: gave him for a thousand yard season. Yes, the ap

289
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 8: and from when I understand that probably costs more than

290
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 8: the houses most of us live in here on one

291
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 8: seven to five to fans. So Ali did also say

292
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 8: the first half of the twenty twenty five season, I

293
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 8: think we truly had something special going. And I know

294
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 8: we didn't finish the way we want to finish, but

295
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 8: I think I'm able to look back to that and

296
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 8: look at how we were playing and know that we

297
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 8: can be the best team in the NFL. And I

298
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 8: was thinking to myself, boy, even if you think that

299
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 8: truly you got to upgrade your defense, Like if you

300
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 8: tell me you lost Michael Putman junior and you want

301
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 8: to give Tyler warn more targets and you're gonna draft

302
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 8: a receiver like you said, Kevin, I can kind of

303
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 8: trust that vision because to Shane's credit, as much as

304
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 8: I've kind of criticized maybe the outward leadership in the

305
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 8: figure ahead nature of the job that maybe sometimes he

306
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 8: doesn't always meet, in my opinion, the man can call plays.

307
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 8: He can make some things happen with you know, I

308
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 8: think where other play calls will definitely lack. But defensively,

309
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: you have not gotten any better. And how do you

310
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 8: just make sure that when you're in games? And you

311
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 8: talked about this, Kevin, like can you win the ugly

312
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 8: games every now and then? We're not saying you're gonna

313
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 8: go out there and landaggon offense every week. But boy,

314
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 8: it's like last year when they didn't score over twenty

315
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 8: seven or whatever, things got rough. Sometimes with this team

316
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 8: trying to like get off the mat and fight back

317
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 8: and to ultimately dig out and get a win.

318
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's really key especially early this coming season,

319
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: to kind of go back to that point of if

320
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 6: Jones has expected growing pains in September and October, Okay,

321
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 6: that means you're not the historic offense you wore last

322
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 6: year to start the season. That's understandable. Can you offset

323
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 6: that with a little better defensive play, you know, can

324
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 6: the defense grab the extra grocery bag out of the trunk?

325
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: Last year, the offense carried them all in to the

326
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 6: kitchen and the little brother did nothing. Can now the

327
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 6: little brother actually grab a bag? Will you this little brother?

328
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 6: I felt like I was trying to be tough back

329
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 6: in the day, and I'm like, oh, Ryan, I'm gonna

330
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 6: carry them all in. And then and then I like,

331
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 6: you know, all of a sudden, there's green beans rolling

332
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 6: down the driveway.

333
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: It's a fan morning show with the.

334
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: Paper and the doritos. You get everything out, you get

335
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: the edge.

336
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: Hey, those are essentials, right, you know what he didn't

337
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: drop though, he did not drop the thin mints.

338
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: Those were never dropped and they are in the freezer

339
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: right now.

340
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, they need to be dropped into trash camp. But

341
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 5: we can move on something.

342
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 6: I do maybe eight o'clock hour, James I thought I

343
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 6: laughed a little bit in how you described the Daniel

344
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 6: Jones contract earlier.

345
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: I agree with you on it, but you.

346
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 6: Know, looking more into that because I think a lot

347
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 6: of people saw the numbers and had a variety of

348
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 6: reactions to it.

349
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: So I want to get into that a little bit

350
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: more because I do think, you know.

351
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 6: Part of it makes sense. Part of it is kind

352
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 6: of the rowdy of the situation that you're in. But

353
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 6: I think there honestly are some areas of that contract

354
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 6: I look at and I'd say, Okay, that's fine, and yeah,

355
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 6: you know, I now the question becomes you, you, I

356
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: assume have structured it in a way that you would

357
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 6: like to do more.

358
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 4: What is the more?

359
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: That's where I sit here on this Thursday, and I

360
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 6: do struggle to find exactly, Oh, where is that money

361
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 6: going to?

362
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

363
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 6: Stephen Holder reported they had offered twenty five million for

364
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 6: Trey Hendrickson.

365
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: Okay, that didn't happen. Where's the twenty five million going?

366
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: Like?

367
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: You know that cap space is still with.

368
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: You say, can I raise my how are you?

369
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: How are you maneuvering with that? Moving forward?

370
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: All right?

371
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Also last night we had more basketball Butler season comes

372
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: to win end. They lose in the Big East Tournament

373
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: against Providence and IU is the season coming to an end.

374
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: They were a bubble team when the night started. They

375
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: lose again to Northwestern. They do not have a great resume,

376
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: you pointed out multiple times Kevin Bowen. And if they

377
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: don't make the NCAA tournament, do they accept an n

378
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: IT bid or do they just start getting to work

379
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: on next year's roster. There are a lot of questions

380
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: at Indiana right now, and none of them are happy questions.

381
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think one thing that you know, and

382
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: we'll see how the rest of the week plays out

383
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 6: with selection Sunday.

384
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: You know, by all.

385
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: Accounts, all the bubble teams are losing, like everybody's losing.

386
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 6: I think we thought coming into this week Indiana needed

387
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 6: to do what beat Northwestern and then beat Purdue.

388
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of people out.

389
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 6: There that have viewed the bubble this week, and we'll

390
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: and we are still a little early in the bid stealing.

391
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: You know, Miama, Ohio place today at eleven am.

392
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: I think Saint Louis gets started with their conference tournament

393
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 6: either today or tomorrow. You know, bubble teams are gonna

394
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 6: want those programs to win, because they would, you know,

395
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 6: earn their conferences another bid if they were to lose.

396
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 6: But like, it almost seems like Indiana would have got

397
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 6: in if they just beat Northwestern. Feels that way, Like

398
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: it's that it's that week of a bubble, And dear Lord,

399
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 6: if there was ever a year where we do not

400
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 6: need to be expanding the tournament. Can you imagine if

401
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 6: we expanded this thing to like seventy six and you're

402
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 6: including Indiana outright, and you're including what.

403
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: Stanford, New Mexico, San Alburts record.

404
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 6: Auburn's like sixteen and fourteen. I mean, it's just it's

405
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: unbelievable that this is a debate to me in trying

406
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 6: to whatever. Oh, you have a resume that's earned a

407
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 6: spot in the dance here, So I think that just

408
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 6: kind of adds to the frustration to it all. But Yeah,

409
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 6: hearing Darren Debrees try to pitch his team to the

410
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 6: committee last night, it was one of the more depressing

411
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 6: answers I've heard in quite a while.

412
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: He went strength to schedule on us.

413
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was looking at Joelnardi's updated bracket after last

414
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: night's play and two teams caught my eye that have

415
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: struggled lately that at one point in time have been

416
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: ranked in as high as number one or in the

417
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 2: top five.

418
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: Not only is Purdue now on a four line James.

419
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: As they start the Big Ten Tournament play tonight against Northwestern,

420
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: but Kansas is now a four seat.

421
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've had some struggles as of late, and I

422
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 8: think age of the bands, and by the way, is

423
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 8: running away with that number one pick talk.

424
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: He is balling right now.

425
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about that.

426
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Purdue gets underway tonight six thirty against Northwestern Kevin.

427
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: They've lost four of their last six.

428
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: Big Ten tournamentould be a great, great place to kind

429
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: of get your bounce back, get your vibe going in,

430
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: or as some people around here say, get your juju back.

431
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of funny.

432
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 6: I mean, last year Pdue, I think they got smoked

433
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 6: by Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament and then played

434
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 6: very well the NC Tournament and we're shot away from

435
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 6: going to the Elite eight. So I'm always kind of

436
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 6: torn on how the conference tournament sets you up. There's

437
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 6: part of me it's like, yeah, Purdue needs a little

438
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 6: bit of a confidence Joel, particularly on the defensive end

439
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 6: of the floor. Then I'm thinking, is it the best

440
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 6: thing in the world to play three games in three

441
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 6: days and you know where your leg's at and a

442
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: you know, turn around next week. So I find myself

443
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: a little bit torn on the old NCAA tournament, you know,

444
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 6: or I should say conference tournament.

445
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 4: How much that can do for your for your team

446
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: right now?

447
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 6: You know, I do think being on the four lone like,

448
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 6: if you want to look at it, the one seeds

449
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 6: look to be very impressive Michiganduke Duke.

450
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: A little banged up Arizona.

451
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 6: So you know, if you're going to play the three

452
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 6: seed versus the four seed, I do think there is

453
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 6: some difference there. You know, if you can be the

454
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 6: three seed that keeps you away from the one seed

455
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 6: until the Elite eight. If you're thinking, you know, big, big,

456
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 6: big picture and very very hopeful here, you obviously let

457
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 6: a little bit more of margin for air possibly creep

458
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 6: in there. So yeah, six thirty tonight for Purdue, Bruce Webber,

459
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 6: you said nine to fifteen, Mark.

460
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: Yep nine fifteen. Gosh, he was a busy man yesterday.

461
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 3: I love hearing him talk. I just like him. Oh,

462
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan.

463
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: He's introduced outstanding all right.

464
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 2: Coming up at a moment, we'll talk more about the

465
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: National Football League, cults, free agency, more in college basketball

466
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: as Purdue gets rolling in the Big Ten Tournament later

467
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: on tonight. It all comes your way next. It's ninety

468
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: three five and when I was seven five the fan?

469
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 10: Do you still have your juju or shimmer to do

470
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 10: this the tournament?

471
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: One of our favorites from the Big Ten Network and

472
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: just a terrific coach, terrific person all the way around.

473
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 2: Bruce Webber joins us on the Payless Lookers hotline this morning.

474
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: Coach, are you sleeping this week? Is there any rest

475
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: for you at all?

476
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 10: I think I got about three hours last night, so

477
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 10: it was. We got back from doing the Big Show

478
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 10: a little after midnight. I had to grab a beer

479
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 10: and something to eat. Then I had to do some

480
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 10: work for the show to.

481
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: Moor this morning, and.

482
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 10: I finally fell asleep.

483
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 3: Love three point thirty or so.

484
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: Unbelievable, Coach.

485
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: We can't thank you enough for the time this morning.

486
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 6: A great work with you and Dave Revson and Rayphael

487
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 6: Davis with Jake West last night postgame. I thought that

488
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: was a fun scene there with him. I don't know

489
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 6: if that was maybe the player you were expecting to

490
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 6: be on set with you at the start of the night.

491
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 6: But let's go to the Indiana Northwestern game from last

492
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: night and maybe just focus on Indiana as a whole.

493
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: As you looked at that roster that Darren Devreese did

494
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 6: construct in year one, felt like the deficiencies were where

495
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 6: there's no doubt.

496
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 10: It was inside the physicality and uh, you know, they

497
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 10: they went inside a little bit, but they just did

498
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 10: not have the length, the size, and the physicality inside.

499
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 10: And I think everyone kind of knew that when they

500
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 10: looked at the roster.

501
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 11: I believe we talked.

502
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 10: About it when I you know, when you called before

503
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 10: the Purdue game, the first one, and you know, it

504
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 10: just it really showed up, uh, you know, big time.

505
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 10: You know, as it as the season went on and

506
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 10: and you know in the league, it's it's kind of

507
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 10: funny and we I've talked about this with other people.

508
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 10: You know, we played small ball and oh five before

509
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 10: anyone else did h with that, you know, with Darren Williams,

510
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 10: Luther Head, Deep Brown, James Augustine, Roger, Powell. You know,

511
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 10: the NBA kind of went to that. But the Big

512
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 10: Ten now has become a big physical league, and you know,

513
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 10: that's that's been the definite trend and it's been successful.

514
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 10: Now yesterday's case, obviously Northwestern isn't big, and they still

515
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 10: weren't able to take advantage of any of their size inside.

516
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 10: And then maybe the toughness to you know, I think

517
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 10: when you get a roster and when I you know,

518
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 10: tried to put it together teams. I still remember trying

519
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 10: to put together the USA team for the World Championships

520
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 10: in nineteen. You know, one of the things I really

521
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 10: wanted to do. You've got to get some defenders, You've

522
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 10: got to get some rebounders. You know, that physical part

523
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 10: mixed in with the skill and you know, the you know,

524
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 10: when you look at Michigan, you know they they're just

525
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 10: so fortunate they have skill, but they also have the

526
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 10: physicality and you know, but you know, they have the

527
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 10: best players in the league and that's why they won

528
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 10: the league and did what they did.

529
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 8: Again, we're talking to Bruce Weber here on the Pillow

530
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 8: Suckers Hotline. Bruce, do you think it's to your point

531
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 8: you just may right now. Do you think it's harder

532
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 8: or easier to build teams that have the togetherness and

533
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 8: the toughness in today's NIL era because you can't reload,

534
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 8: you can retool rather quickly, but there's a lot of

535
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 8: turnover as well.

536
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's obviously some teams have done it. Teamate did it,

537
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 10: and you know they think about it. They have three

538
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 10: guys on the All Defensive team and and probably some

539
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 10: other guys that might even been considered.

540
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 3: So he he was had the good.

541
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 10: Fortune of doing it and putting that roster together. You know,

542
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 10: roster management now is really really important, and you know

543
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 10: when you're looking at it, and I believe I've talked

544
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 10: to you guys about it, for it's you know, you

545
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 10: got to evaluate guys. You've got to look for guys

546
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 10: that have been in good programs, that have been coached,

547
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 10: that have been held accountable, that have won, and you know,

548
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 10: and if you have enough money, you can get the

549
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 10: right guys and and and that's what it comes down to.

550
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 10: So I think that if the evaluation is really important,

551
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 10: but then also the valuation how how much are they

552
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 10: really worth? And then you know, then you look at

553
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 10: your payroll. Can you pay that and then do they

554
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 10: have the motivation? And it seems like the Michigan guys,

555
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 10: he does. He hit it with all those guys this year.

556
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 10: Now will he do that next year? You know, we'll

557
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 10: we'll have to wait and see. And you know, if

558
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 10: he can do it.

559
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 4: Again, then then he might be have the magic touch.

560
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 10: I don't know, but I thought the coach Degrees put

561
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 10: a good roster together and but yet it didn't have

562
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 10: all the right ingredients that you needed. And then a

563
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 10: little bit to learn about what the league is about.

564
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 10: I think, you know, hopefully the second year around, he

565
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 10: can do a little better job.

566
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 11: With that coach.

567
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm just curious with the free for all that every

568
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: immediate offseason brings.

569
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: Now, would you want to coach anymore?

570
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 10: I you know, I talked to people, and I talked

571
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 10: to Tom Izzo a couple of weeks ago and he

572
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 10: said he said, he just said, Bruce, this is my

573
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 10: assistant coach. Came to me and said we got to

574
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 10: start looking at our budget for next year. He goes,

575
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 10: I'm trying to win a Big ten championship. I'm trying

576
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 10: to get in the NCAA tournament and go as.

577
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: Far as we can with these guys.

578
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 11: I can't.

579
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 10: I don't want to think about that. But he said,

580
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 10: we got to have our budget ready so as soon

581
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 10: as the season is over, we can start and those

582
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 10: people start jumping into portal. We're ready for that. And

583
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 10: there's there's just no break. I think that's what been

584
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 10: really frustrating for coaches when I talked to them, not

585
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 10: just Tom, you know, whether it's Matt Painter, Scott Drew,

586
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 10: whoever I've talked to, and you know, as last last

587
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 10: spring that they just did not have a break. And

588
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 10: it's continuous and and I know coaches get paid a lot,

589
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 10: but you also take a lot of scrutiny. You you

590
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 10: give up your life and and and it's hard. So

591
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 10: it's you know, it would be difficult to do it.

592
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 10: There's no doubt and and I you know.

593
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: You I think you guys have asked me that before.

594
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 10: I've always said, if it was the right situation, uh,

595
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 10: you know, right people around me, right budget type of

596
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 10: thing like that, I might consider it. But it doesn't

597
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 10: seem like it's a whole lot of fun for many

598
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 10: coaches right now.

599
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 6: That's a voice of Bruce Weber. Obviously you see him

600
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 6: currently on Big ten Network. He was a busy, busy

601
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 6: man last night, so we greatly appreciate him waking up

602
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 6: early with us here as it's another active day at

603
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 6: the United Center. And this from listener Fish. He chimes in,

604
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 6: he goes, Coach Weber, Purdue basketball camp was awesome, personable,

605
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 6: always there, always approachable, super great guy. So there you go, coach,

606
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 6: little little compliment from your Purdue basketball camp days from

607
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 6: back in the day.

608
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was a blast.

609
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 10: That was eighteen summers and we probably went at least

610
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 10: two thousand kids this summer, and probably there were some

611
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 10: years that went three thousand, and Glenn Robinson here we

612
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 10: probably had four thousand because we had about playgrounds because

613
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 10: everyone wanted to beat Big Dog.

614
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 5: But you know, and I always.

615
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 10: Think about that the I would have, you know, babysitters

616
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 10: at our house and their boyfriends would come over and

617
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 10: they said, coach, you were at camp.

618
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 11: You taught me this or something.

619
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 10: I'm like, oh, you just don't realize how things like

620
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 10: that you can impact people, and or you said this,

621
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 10: and I remember that. And so it was a lot

622
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 10: of former high school, junior high players that came through

623
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 10: the camp.

624
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: So it was a lot of fun.

625
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 10: I always enjoyed.

626
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 6: That, certainly vivid memories for many growing up, to say

627
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 6: the least last one for me, if I took Michigan

628
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 6: off the board, the Big ten team you trust the

629
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 6: most to get on a run here in March.

630
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with two of them.

631
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go with the Iliini and I'm gonna go

632
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 10: with Michigan State, And I think each one. When the Aliini,

633
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 10: their size, their ability to shoot, you know, I think

634
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 10: that now again, the shooting and depending on that has

635
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 10: been you know, costly at times for them this season.

636
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 10: And then Michigan State doesn't have quite the shooting, but

637
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 10: they have the tom is Oh basketball, you know, brand,

638
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 10: the toughness, the defense, and they have a point guard

639
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 10: that can really make plays. And that's what the ALIGNI

640
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 10: has too. And you you know, we everyone talks about

641
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 10: the guards make plays for you in March.

642
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: And help you advance.

643
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 10: And both of them have really, really good point guards

644
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 10: that can make some plays.

645
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: Are joining us on the Payless Liquors Hotline. It's gonna

646
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: be a wild couple of days. We know that we

647
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: never know exactly what's gonna happen, but usually something surprises us.

648
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: Any any dark horse you see making a run here.

649
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I was gonna say Wisconsin last day

650
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 10: or one of the shows yesterday that we started about

651
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 10: ten thirty in the morning, so uh it I but

652
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 10: then I thought about it. To play four games, it's

653
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 10: really tough to win that Big ten tournament. So I

654
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 10: still think the guys that have the don't play it

655
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 10: on Friday. We haven't We're gonna have games again today.

656
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 10: We haven't even seen four teams tomorrow, so you know,

657
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 10: I think the teams that are only gonna have to

658
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 10: play the three games have the advantage. And then you know,

659
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 10: I'm hoping, uh for for Due's sake, for Matt Payner,

660
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 10: for I want to see Braden Smith play as many

661
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 10: games as possible. I'd love to have him set that

662
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 10: ass this record. It would be really cool for him

663
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 10: for Purdue basketball. But the only way that's going to

664
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 10: happen is they're gonna have to be a little better

665
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 10: defense and toughness wise, and they're going to have to

666
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 10: get a little run here for him to have that opportunity.

667
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: Coach, as always, we appreciate you doing this on a

668

683
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 7: I was like a plan have the announced. This is like, yeah,

684
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 7: I'm nowhere, new healthy. You guys just paid me a

685
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 7: whole bunch of money. I ain't gonna be here.

686
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: You shut your mouth mark.

687
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 7: Too much later to the ankle will still be drying.

688
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 8: I want to write the same stuff I've been writing

689
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 8: for the last two weeks, but I am curious to

690
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 8: hear from him about the recovery process with the achilles.

691
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 8: I doubt he'll give us a lot of details, but

692
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 8: that is the biggest news I guess item Newsworthy item

693
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 8: when it comes to Daniel Jones, besides the actual contract itself.

694
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: Kevin, when do you think the over under on the

695
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: word progressing or progression or some word of that when

696
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: he talks about his recovery from the Achilles and that's

697
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: all we get we're progressing.

698
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 6: Well, I think I actually I heard him on mac

699
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 6: FI yesterday said he thinks he'll be ready for week one,

700
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 6: So I yeah, I mean that's obviously something.

701
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: You know, some guys six months out from such a

702
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: deadline wouldn't even say that. So yeah, and that's kind

703
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: of been the expectation I think all along here.

704
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 8: But I am curious though, like details wise, you know,

705
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 8: what does that mean being ready about week one? I

706
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 8: think you talked about it earlier, Kevin, like you gotta throw,

707
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 8: you gotta get out there with your team before the

708
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 8: first game of the season. So when are you trying

709
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 8: to get some on field action. I doubt that he

710
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 8: will be like a full blown go during training camp

711
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 8: all training camp.

712
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 5: But what does that look like? Do they have kind

713
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 5: of an idea?

714
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 7: You also don't want him to be a statue out

715
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 7: there either. You'd think his legs hopefully will get some

716
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 7: run at some point, right and again.

717
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 6: I've said it now a million times already today. To me,

718
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: it's not when he's cleared, it's when is he himself

719
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: and so that to me will be the biggest one.

720
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: All right, Mark Dyketon, I know you're a very curious

721
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: young man.

722
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 11: He's got questions.

723
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: How about a game?

724
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 11: They have got answers.

725
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm more of a you know, corn hole man myself.

726
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: Sports music, movies, high fashion.

727
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: That hantsl so hot right now and.

728
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 11: Everything in between.

729
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: You're understand that foot with four to two, it's time

730
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: to get a glimpse into the mind of Mark Dyton.

731
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 7: Stop that you're scaring me each time.

732
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 11: For I gotta know.

733
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 5: I want a good, clean fight.

734
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 7: Let's get it off, all right, boys, we're on the

735
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 7: Colts talk. Let's stay on the Colts talk. What would

736
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 7: you grade the Colts current free agency and offseason to

737
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 7: this point? Obviously brought back Al Pearson, Daniel Jones, the

738
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 7: big money contracts traded off, Michael Pittman Junior and Zire

739
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 7: Franklin lost the cross. Your grade so far for the

740
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 7: Colts in twenty twenty six, James, I know you.

741
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 6: Said see earlier. I'll go, just to not be boring,

742
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 6: I'll say C minus.

743
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 5: What a teacher you are.

744
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 6: I think if you look at where defensive end is

745
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 6: in particular, that group of available guys has really dried up.

746
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: And I think that was your biggest need.

747
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 6: So that's where, yes, getting Jones done, getting Pierced done,

748
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: that was necessary. Moving on from some of these guys

749
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 6: that you have I think is also necessary. But again,

750
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 6: where have you gotten better? And when I asked that question,

751
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 6: I don't think it's met with great answers.

752
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 5: Can you round up? Do you ever get the student

753
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 5: that's like, hey, keen round up?

754
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, but my C minus is like you showing up

755
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 6: the class and you're showing up late and you don't

756
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 6: even know wh.

757
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: The test are.

758
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: So I don't want to round up for you.

759
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: Respect.

760
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 7: There you go, James, I never acted teaching to.

761
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 5: Round me up. Ever, I didn't care get the grade,

762
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: get through the class.

763
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 4: Hey, maybe that's why you didn't get the grade rounded up.

764
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: James and I were both similar students. Survive in advance is.

765
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: What we had to do.

766
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 8: I was a great student. I was top ten of

767
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 8: my fine student, but in respect that I was number

768
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 8: five my high school class, David, I'm a legend.

769
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 4: Went to Mylin for high school about twenty eight kids.

770
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 5: Hey, it don't matter top five and stop five.

771
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 7: So are you a tough grader?

772
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 10: Are you?

773
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 7: Are you giving him a little leeway?

774
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 11: No?

775
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 3: Here's what I know so far. They had to get

776
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce back. I had to that.

777
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: That's like signing your name on the paper for the

778
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 2: team this year, right, they had to do that. Uh,

779
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, I felt like was gonna get done all along,

780
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 2: because really it just felt like where else was he

781
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: gonna go at this point in time, coming off a.

782
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: Major injury in his injury history.

783
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: They don't have Michael Pittman back right now, so they

784
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: haven't replaced anybody alongside Alec Pierce. And to Kevin's point,

785
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: very law with the defensive additions they've made so far,

786
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: and they lost Nick Cross, I'm gonna give him a

787
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 2: D plus. I'm not thrilled so far.

788
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 7: I think you're paying the guys that you needed to

789
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 7: bring back more money and you've lost guys in the process,

790
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 7: and the guys you have replaced them with are just

791
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 7: Larry David Shoulder shrug.

792
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, it doesn't feel like they've gotten better anywhere.

793
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 7: They may have gotten worse actually, but they're paying more money.

794
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 7: Go and see as in wait and see, all right,

795
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 7: The Max Crosby situation is obviously very fluid. The team

796
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 7: Max crossing he plays for in twenty twenty six is

797
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 7: who staying with the Raiders or will they eventually deal

798
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 7: him somewhere else.

799
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 8: It's the Raiders because I think that he's damaged goods

800
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 8: now and teams do not want to trade for him.

801
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 8: But also he just seems like a Raider for life.

802
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 8: You know, he's got a house out there, very nice house,

803
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 8: by the way, So I'd expect him to play for

804
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 8: the Raiders and perhaps he can help get the ball

805
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 8: back Tephran now Mendoza.

806
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: It's the Raiders. Like everything about this screams the Raiders.

807
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: They're kind of that that tough, scrappy alley cat that

808
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: is not all that good looking anymore, but they just

809
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: kind of keep showing up all the time. And he

810
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: is a perfect Raider in every aspect of being a Raider.

811
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 2: They're trying to rebuild themselves, they're trying to start all

812
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 2: over from scratch.

813
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 3: They got a tough division.

814
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: He helps them more than him being gone hurts them,

815
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 2: and they get to keep their two first round picks.

816
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: So it just feels like everything about that was very raidery,

817
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: if you want to make that a word.

818
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 6: Kevin, Yeah, I think it's interesting what Mendoz is walking into,

819
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 6: you know, with Tyler Linbaum and Brock Bauers and Ashton

820
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 6: gent an offensive minded head coach.

821
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 4: I get it's the Raiders.

822
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 6: As Jeff points out, I do you think it's one

823
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: of the tougher earth not the toughest divisions in all

824
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 6: football really, but still it seems like it's not the

825
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 6: worst scenario, which honestly, that debate happens quite often with

826
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 6: these first overall picks here. But yeah, the Crosby thing, it,

827
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 6: I mean, it's amazing. I mean, go back to the

828
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 6: other night, that domino. If that domino does not happen,

829
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 6: Trey Henderson as a cult, I do think it's that

830
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: crazy to say, which maybe totally changes what you just

831
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 6: asked us in the first question mark about.

832
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 4: How people would you know grade the Colts offseason?

833
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 7: All right, well, you believe in the sanctity of the

834
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 7: NBA Draft lottery. If the Pacers do not keep their

835
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 7: first round pick. Do you think the little chirping back

836
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 7: and forth the league office might have hampered that if

837
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 7: they do not get their first round pick after all

838
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 7: of this, will you believe in the sanctity of the

839
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 7: NBA lottery or I feel like that's a get back.

840
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 6: Missioner silver in the lab putting some sand in the

841
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 6: Pacers lottery ball.

842
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 5: No, it's a no.

843
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 8: It's a no, especially because if the Wizards, who'll give

844
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 8: up eighty three points to them, bam, might a bio

845
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 8: somehow leapfrog the Pacers in the standings for the ping

846
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 8: pong ball to the top four pick.

847
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 4: Oh my god, now, Kraigman, I'm wrong.

848
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: I believe in each of the last three drafts, the

849
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 6: team with the worst record became the fifth pick.

850
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 5: Yes, this happened to Detroit years ago.

851
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 6: So how do you look at that? If you hear

852
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 6: the Pacers oh bleep, or.

853
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 8: Time for the basketball guys in amsilver and or ping

854
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 8: pong ball, where's supposed to be?

855
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 6: Which again, if you look at the odds, it's only

856
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 6: a fifty one two percent. I think it is chance

857
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 6: with the worst record in league you maintain your top

858
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 6: four pick.

859
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: That's where these odds are really bet on this.

860
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: Some of you can't bet on Oh yeah, you can

861
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: bet on anything.

862
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 2: By the way, it's time for the twenty twenty six

863
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: NBA Draft Lottery simulator, brought to you by tankathon dot com.

864
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 3: James, are you ready?

865
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: Yesterday your all time favorite team was the number one pick,

866
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: Washington Wizards.

867
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 3: Right, sure?

868
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 5: The answer?

869
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Well it has to do with this here in

870
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: the in the number one. If that happens, then yes,

871
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: I love the sanctity of it.

872
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: But they've got to do something to fix this because

873
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: the worst teams. I know they're trying to prevent people

874
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: from tanking, but you can't have the worst teams for

875
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 2: ever being outside the top four or five with a

876
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: chance to have somebody that can really.

877
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: Turn your team around.

878
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 7: We'll see, all right, Last, but not least, what are

879
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 7: we watching. I haven't watched a single episode yet, but

880
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 7: I know my daughter is dying to watch it. The

881
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 7: Dinosaurs documentary on Netflix. Kevin maybe sitting Max in front

882
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 7: of the television. It looks excellent.

883
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: I have thought long and hard about that, Mark.

884
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 6: I think we're doing a little Lego World, by the way,

885
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 6: coming up at the fairgrounds this weekend.

886
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: Look at that.

887
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 4: But outside of that, Max Bowen.

888
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 6: If you behave you, if you gosh, you're a good boy,

889
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 6: you get some dinosaurs.

890
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: I like that.

891
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 8: I've been rewatching Game of Thrones. That's been the watch

892
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 8: and boy, I forgot how great this show was, especially

893
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 8: in the earlier season. So shout out to Jeffy and

894
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 8: Sarcy for being some of the most villainous people in

895
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 8: probably TV history.

896
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever been more excited for a

897
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 7: child to die than Jeoffrey and Game of Thrones. I

898
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 7: was like to get that kid out of here.

899
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 5: But I love me a great villain golf. We don't

900
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 5: have a good games.

901
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 4: Talking about the Girls Scouts earlier this week, I hay.

902
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 8: Like I said, I you know, I tell my questions

903
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 8: about the girl Scouts. I ain't seen y'all out here

904
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 8: doing some stuff, so I got questions.

905
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: Maybe that's one thing I got to know.

906
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: Mark, there you go.

907
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 5: Where are your scouts?

908
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: What are they doing?

909
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 5: Where are these trees?

910
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 7: They're playing James's edition of Viga Know where are you at?

911
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: That's all it is.

912
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 4: He's calling Pablo Torre for that.

913
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Soul Power.

914
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: I'm about two episodes in and again my childhood. Probably

915
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: one of the biggest sparks of me becoming a sports

916
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: fan my dad taking my brother and I down to

917
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: the old Auditorium Marina in downtown Denver, which was just

918
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 2: the nothing burger. Maybe forty five hundred, five thousand people

919
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: fit into it. It was one of those things where

920
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: the only lights were over the court. Everything else was

921
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: like dark out on the edges. But I got to

922
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: see some of the great ABA players of the time

923
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: play there, and I got to watch fun guys come

924
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 2: in and out like doctor j.

925
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: Or George McGinnis or just artist Gilmore.

926
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: In addition to all the team the guys that were

927
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: playing for at that time, the Denver Rockets who became

928
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets. So for me, it takes me right

929
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: back to early childhood and what really was the flame

930
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: that sparked, you know, the spark that really got.

931
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 3: The flame going for my love of sports.

932
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: I think my dad would probably take us down to

933
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: six or seven of those games a year, and I

934
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: just I remember one of the coolest things being a kid,

935
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: you know, you talk about dinosaurs as probably six or seven,

936
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: and I got.

937
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: To go home with one of those red white and

938
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 3: blue basketballs that they were giving out on a promotion night.

939
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,600
