1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Last night.

00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: Energy is to go after the coffee here. But there

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: was so much to get to last night and preparing

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: for today. I was concerned because I was watching the

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: forecast and I saw that even though the weather has

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: been mild still it's about to get really cold. And

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure that he made it back

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: okay from the port yesterday. You did make it back, obviously, right,

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: I did. Yes, everything go okay. Unfortunately didn't get the

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: part really no guy with a bigger head than you. Yes,

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: So you got the email from the Big Head Association

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: about the tryouts for the eight and five eights hat

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Head model is what they were calling it. Right, that

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: can be dicey. And then you went up there and

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: how many photos did they take of your cranium.

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: Well, they had to measure the cranium first. Oh, so

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: they have to measure everyone who was there, Okay, and

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: then you have to make a certain quote. I can't

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: remember what the number was, but I didn't make the cut.

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: So I mean I took the entire date off, went

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: up to Laporte, Indiana for no reason. A lot of

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: egos up there.

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you wouldn't believe it. Ye, Well, people

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: with big heads like that, I can't imagine. Right, It's

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: part of the big head Association. All right, So Eddie

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: is back and yesterday it was a humdinger. Yesterday was

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: and I appreciate everybody that called in the show as well.

35
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: When we were talking about the Colts situation. And let

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: me begin with this. There are a couple of storylines, obviously,

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: that we are going to monitor over the course of today,

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: one of which we probably won't get any definitive answers

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: for some time. As a matter of fact, we have

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: the grace, if you will, or the ability to wait

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: on this and that I'm talking about Stephen Daily. Yesterday

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: you heard jamb mention it the fabulous pass rusher for

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Indiana University that was a transfer from Kent State, and

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: he did you know there is video, I mean after

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: the game, and it was innocuous. It was not like,

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: you know, he was going around and talking to someone

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: in the stands at Lucas Oil Stadium and reaching up

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: just to kind of jump up and give him a

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: five in celebration after the Big Ten Championship and very

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: innocently and oddly landed awkwardly on his right knee. And

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: it looks like he may be out for the rest

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: of the playoff. We will keep an eye on that.

53
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we're gonna get down to

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Bloomington because Mike Nysalik, our friend from the Bloomington Herald Time,

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: is going to join us. Not only do we have

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: that to talk about, but Lamar Wilkerson last night a

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: historic night at Assembly Hall. Historic literally not just for

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: opponent but for IU as well. All time scoring record

59
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: within Assembly Hall. I was there when Sean Restbert scored

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: forty two in a game, Trace Jackson Davis had broken

61
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: that with forty three.

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Last night.

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: Lamar Wilkerson does one better forty four point night last

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: night for Indiana as they trounce Penn State. We can

65
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: get to that, we'll talk a little Pacers as well.

66
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, one of the guys that

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: is kind of their mister Hustle Award, going to join

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: us just about twenty five minutes from now. He's a

69
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: guy we talked about yesterday with Scott Agnes, Ethan Thompson

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: that has was signed and now all of a sudden

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: is like in rotation and is in the game late

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: and is making plays and a lot I love about

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Ethan Thompson. He's going to join us coming up within

74
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: thirty minutes. But let's get right to what has taken

75
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: place within the last half hour on West fifty sixth

76
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: Street and what was the big story yesterday. It was

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: around this time yesterday, maybe an hour after that, when

78
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: we got the news that Philip Rivers, at the age

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: of forty four, would be rejoining the Colts and would

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: be signed to the Colts practice squad after the workout

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: that he had had on Sunday night. There's a little

82
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: bit more explanation, a little more on this. Shane Steiken

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: just got done talking with the local media and so

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: I want to bring this to you right away. This

85
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: is Shane Steiken in terms of the timeline the events

86
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: that leads Philip Rivers, who had played for Stikeen in

87
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: the Chargers system before coming here. He never was with

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: Stikeen in Indianapolis. He was with Frank Reich. But he

89
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: knows Chris Ballard obviously does Philip Rivers, so there is

90
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: relationship and familiarity all over the place. His key card

91
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: still works if you will over on West fifty six.

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: But Shane Steiken, please elaborate for all of us on

93
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: how this.

94
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: Came to be.

95
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: All right, I'll start off, as you guys know, signed

96
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers to the practice squad, super excited for him.

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: His passion and his obsession for the game is unmatched.

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: For him to come back and want to do this

99
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: at forty four years old, I think is incredible, and

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: I know he's going to give everything this organization that

101
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: he has. You know, Sunday after the game, you know,

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: when Daniel went down and then we found out about

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: Riley's neede, we're kind of like, hey, what are we

104
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: going to do? And me and us are talking. We're like, hey,

105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: let's call Philip, see see what he says. Called him

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: Sunday night, We said, hey, what do you think he said,

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: heck yeah, I'm interested. Heck yeah, And so he slept

108
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: on us to sleep on it, and then Monday called

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: him back. Monday morning he said, I need to get

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: up there. I need to get up there and throw

111
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: get in that building, start moving around. So he came

112
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: in here through he didn't forget how to throw a football.

113
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: So we did that.

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: Monday, and then Tuesday he was in the hotel thinking

115
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: it over. He called us. Me and Chris were in

116
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: the office. He said, what do you think? He said,

117
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: deg Gummitt, let's freaking go.

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: So Philip Rivers in he has talked to the local media.

119
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: We will play a little bit of that over the

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: course of today. Done so via a conference call essentially,

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: But one of the things that he talked about was

122
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: his playing weight is heavier than when he last played

123
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: five years ago January ninth, two thousand and twenty one.

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 2: The last time that he was on a football field,

125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: it was in Buffalo. He had had a year that

126
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: led the Colts to an eleven five record. I think

127
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: there was a lot of discussion of let's try to

128
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: bring him back for a second year. It was Rivers

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: I think that decided no, enough was enough. But he

130
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: had commented on the fact that yes, he has gained weight.

131
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: But at the same time he said, look, it's not

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: like I was a speed demon anyway. So here is

133
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: a guy that knows the system. And I mentioned this yesterday. Rivers,

134
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: in his retirement, has been coaching high school football, notably

135
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: coaching his son's team. He has a number of children,

136
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: we know that, but one of them he's coaching the

137
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: high school football team. And the offense in the scheme

138
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: that he runs is similar to that of Shane Stikeens.

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: So in that vein they have had regular conversation. Shane

140
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: Stikeen and Philip Rivers, they have always stayed in touch

141
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: with one another. I think it is fair to say

142
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: that the reports are accurate that the Colts did reach

143
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: out to other quarterbacks as well. Philip Rivers may not

144
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: have even been their first call. I think Derek Carr

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: is one that they reached out to. Certainly I would

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: assume that Andrew Luck they at least kicked the tires.

147
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: He's under contracts, you know, if he ever were to

148
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: return to the NFL, it would be to the Colts

149
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: because contractually they own those rights. I believe still, but

150
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: having said all of that last night, and I don't

151
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: want to speak for him, but I'm going to. I

152
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: hope he's okay with me sharing this. You know, we

153
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: did the annual Robin Miller Friends of Robin Miller, David Benner,

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: John Bench dinner at Irias with all the guys from

155
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Star, and it was another awesome year. It

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: was another honor to be there and to be you know,

157
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm the smallest speck To say that I worked for

158
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: the Star in capacity with those others is a real stretch.

159
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: But they invite me nonetheless, and it's a great honor.

160
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: But obviously, the Philip Rivers discussion was a major talking point,

161
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: and Chap was saying all of us were throwing this

162
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: out there. I'm saying he was definitively saying it, but

163
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: there was discussion in speculation. Eddie, I will allow you

164
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: to elaborate on what you think of this as to

165
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: the possibility that what we will see on Sunday is

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: that the Colts will look at it and go Seattle

167
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: is a flat out nasty defense. And I'm not saying

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Jacksonville and Houston don't have good defenses or San Francisco,

169
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: but Seattle in terms of their aggressiveness of getting to

170
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback their rush, they are top five in the

171
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: NFL in sacks. Does Shane Steichen sit down with Chris

172
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: Ballard and Philip Rivers and say, look, you are our guy,

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers, You're the guy that we think can get

174
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: us into the playoffs. And that's what this is. They

175
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: believe that their best chance of continuing forward. And you know,

176
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: yesterday I was throwing out different speculations as to what

177
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: led to this, because that's literally it was happening on

178
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: the fly while round the air. Now that I've had

179
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: a chance to step back talk to people read analyze,

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: I believe that the Colts believe not about job saving mode,

181
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: not about face saving mode, but rather they believe with

182
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: four games remaining, that a they need to win two

183
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: two of the four three would be ideal, but two,

184
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I think they think would give them a real chance,

185
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: especially if those two are against Jacksonville and Houston. If

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: they win those two games, they believe they're in the postseason.

187
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: And they, meaning the Colts brass, believe that a veteran

188
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: quarterback gives them the best chance to do that. And

189
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: that veteran is Philip Rivers. Now it is my belief,

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: not fact, but my belief of the possibility. And this

191
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: was discussed last night and Chap brought it up. Not

192
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: it was his Chap was throwing out as we all

193
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: were just different ideas. So I'm not saying that Mike

194
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Chap will so I talk to somebody, here's what's going

195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: to happen. But if he were on the air, I

196
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: think this is what he would say. The possibility that

197
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: Brett Rippens starts against Seattle. You give Rivers one more

198
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: week to even though he knows the system, You give

199
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: Rivers one more week to reacclimate, to readjust and then

200
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: you bring him in against San Francisco and you try

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: to get two or three of those last games. That

202
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: possibility I think is on the table. But Shane Steichen

203
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: did elaborate, although succinct, on where things stand right now

204
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: about Philip Rivers and the possibility that he does start

205
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: in the Pacific Northwest on Sunday.

206
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to go through this week of practice,

207
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: see how it goes, and then we'll make a decision

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the week.

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: Probably, So we're going to get in through practice.

210
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's where things are. It would not surprise.

211
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: I think that the assumption, naturally speaking, and I understand

212
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: the assumption. Naturally speaking, the assumption would be okay, So

213
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: if they've signed him, that's their guy. That's their guy.

214
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: They signed him, and it may be it may be

215
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: San Francisco before then. But I am one hundred percent

216
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: certain of this, and I think J ANDV said this yesterday.

217
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: I totally agree with it.

218
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers at the age of forty four is not

219
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: boarding a plane to come to Indianapolis to be Don

220
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: Strock's Don Strock, right Like, he's not coming to hold

221
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: a clipboard and be on the practice squad and give tutorial.

222
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: The question becomes what can he do at the age

223
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: of forty four? One of the factors you have to

224
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: think about. Take Andrew Luck, I mean probably terrible example,

225
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: because that's the around here.

226
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: That's a buzzword. I get it.

227
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: Take Colin Kaepernick, who's thirty eight. Derek Carr probably is

228
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: more in the Philip Rivers category. But Philip Rivers to

229
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: the point that he just made earlier, and it's a

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: great point. Philip Rivers is not a guy that was

231
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: winning games, or extending plays or beating teams by being mobile.

232
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: He's been a guy that's been statuesque from the get go.

233
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: So when it comes to for a lot of athletes,

234
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: a lot of athletes when they try to make a comeback,

235
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: or if they're coming back off injury, there is an

236
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: element of having to readjust and reacclimate their game because

237
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: now their ability is limited and the thing that they

238
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: used to do naturally is taken away, and oh gosh,

239
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: now I've got to find another way to be effective.

240
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: And for Philip Rivers that would not be the case.

241
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: The things in which made him, the things for which

242
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: he was most effective, getting the football with precision, timing

243
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: in shorter routes and knowing when to making the right decision,

244
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: knowing when to throw the ball away. Now he was

245
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: having to do that before, but he was also not

246
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: yet forty. He's now forty four years old.

247
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Well he would have.

248
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: Been right at forty, I guess, But point being, when

249
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: you turn forty it slows down drastically, and certainly at

250
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: forty five unbelievably drastically. Now he hasn't hit forty five yet.

251
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: But the motions, the visions, the decisions that he's going

252
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: to have to make by being in the pocket and

253
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: not being able to move around a lot are the

254
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: exact same as the last time he played. There is

255
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 2: not really an adjustment to mindset because of a declined athleticism,

256
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: because there wasn't a lot of athleticism there begin with.

257
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: One of the things that yesterday was brought up that

258
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: I think also needs to be explored or looked at,

259
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: and that is what happens to the Colts in terms

260
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: of their offensive game plan of Alec Pierce as your

261
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: deep ball threat and Michael Pittman, you know, from twenty

262
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: yards across the middle. I think Josh Downs and Tyler

263
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Warren in particular become very important because Philip Rivers was

264
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: not a long ball thrower to begin with. Now long

265
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: ball thrower not there, plus rush on the shoulder, I

266
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: mean essentially, so it changes things a little bit and

267
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: it will be an intriguing storyline to see how much

268
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: their game plan changes.

269
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Bottom line is this, Eddie. You tell me if you

270
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: agree on this.

271
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: I brought up yesterday the point of Kerry Collins carry

272
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: Collins when Peyton Manning had the neck issue that left

273
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: him out for his final year, and of course ended

274
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: his career here. At first, we didn't know the length

275
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: or the severity of Manning's injury, and then you know,

276
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: John was the one that reported like, hey, this is

277
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: worse than was thought. And then like a week later,

278
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: I learned he is definitively out for the year and

279
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: declared him out for the year. And John and I

280
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: actually it's funny because we were on two different stations

281
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: going head to head, and we actually a couple of

282
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: times collaborated, not of information, but just like man we

283
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: are going to be proven right on this right because

284
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: we both were kind of reporting from the same thing

285
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: of two different you know, he was the first one

286
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: to say this man's got a neck problem and it's

287
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: a problem, ye. And then I came on after that,

288
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: like a couple of days later, and I at some point,

289
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: when I'm old and have a couple of marbles loose,

290
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: all can fight and how I found this out because

291
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: it was pretty unbelievable, but I definitively knew he's out

292
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: for the year and came on and said, I can

293
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: tell you right now, Peyton Manning will not play this year.

294
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: But at that time, Kerry Collins was the answer it

295
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: was like, well, they have Kerry Collins, the big arm

296
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: quarterback guy that had you know, familiarity with Bill Pollian,

297
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: and so there was the you know, and they made

298
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: the T shirts, calmed down and carry on, k E

299
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: R R Y and Kerry Collins went out there and

300
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: after one drive it was like, oh my gosh, it

301
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: wasn't Scott Tolzene level disaster, but it was close and

302
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: you could tell right away this guy is done.

303
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: Put a fork in it. It is done.

304
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: And he picked up a guitar and he moved back

305
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: to Nashville and he sat on his porch and basically

306
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: did cracker barrel ads for seventeen weeks and collected a

307
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: paycheck because he could not play. Now, in this scenario,

308
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: one of the intriguing storylines is going to be which

309
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: is it, because this is going to go one of

310
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: two ways. This is either going to be Kerry Collins

311
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: and immediately we're gonna go, yeah, that did not work

312
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: at all, or we're gonna say, holy cow, because there

313
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: are weapons, Eddie, would you agree there are weapons there

314
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: for Philip Rivers?

315
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're gonna probably have to utilize Jonathan Taylor

316
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: more in the passing game, you know, whether that's screens,

317
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: whether that's you know, swing out passes and san game.

318
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: It goes without saying, yeah, you're gonna have to actually

319
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: run the ball early in the game versus what they

320
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: had been doing with Daniel Jones and throwing to score

321
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: and then running to win. You're gonna have to run

322
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: the ball early to set up to play action to

323
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of offset some of that pass rush no matter

324
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: who the opponent is, but especially with Seattle this weekend,

325
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: to buy some time for the forty four year old

326
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: guy who hasn't played football in five years. Jac It's

327
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: like he's got to get back into that quick level

328
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: processing of being able to look at a defense and

329
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: have it an understanding on what's being presented and where

330
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: his mismatch is. And so it's gonna be very, very

331
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: important for the Colts to lean on Jonathan Taylor with

332
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: or without Philip Rivers, because even with Brett Rippin or

333
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: even Riley Lennard, they need Jonathan Taylor to help open

334
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: things up in the pass game for whomever is that quarterback.

335
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the I think the running game in particular, you

336
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: know Taylor, the difficulty in the ease of it is this.

337
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: It's easy to say, well, just hand off to Jonathan

338
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: Taylor and just kind of ride that, unless a defensive

339
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: front four like Seattle for example, knows that that's exactly

340
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: what you're going to do, right, And so if they

341
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: just load up the box, then you've got to try

342
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: to soften that up. And typically the way you do

343
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: that is with obviously the more intermediate or longer ball.

344
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: If Philip Rivers can't do that, then then becomes the challenge,

345
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I mean, that becomes the

346
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: issue that they're.

347
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Going to have to work out.

348
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: So Philip Rivers apparently did just get done speaking to

349
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: the local media. Kevin Bowen has posted that and I'm

350
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: not sure. I think what he was talking about was

351
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: just his overall weight. Do we have audio by chance?

352
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: Eddy?

353
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: Here is Philip Rivers talking with and I think he's

354
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: talking about just where he is right now physically. But again,

355
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: this was just a couple of minutes ago. This is

356
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: courtesy of Kevin Bowen. I ur Kevin Bonen from the

357
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: Fan Morning Show on social media. Philip Rivers as simple.

358
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: As as can be, as a coach that I love

359
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 4: and an organization that I really enjoyed being with you know,

360
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: mister Ersa believing in me in that year in twenty

361
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 4: twenty when didn't go so good in twenty nineteen. And shoot,

362
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: the teammates that I was able to were able to

363
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: play with, Shoot fourteen of them are still here. Training

364
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: rooms are saying. Pr guys are the same quivient rooms

365
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 4: were saying, and they wanted me, And you know, I

366
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 4: tried to keep it as symple as that. And you know,

367
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: a game, the game I love to play, a game

368
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: that I thought it was was I was done playing, certainly,

369
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: I wasn't really hanging on any hope playing again. Kind

370
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: I kind of thought that ship would sailed, but uh,

371
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: something about it excited me. And uh it's kind of

372
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 4: one of those deals and door opens and you can

373
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: either walk through it and find out if you can

374
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: do it or or run from. And uh, I know,

375
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: I know that there's there's risk involved obviously what it

376
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 4: may or may it may not happen, but the only

377
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: one to find out it's.

378
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Going for it.

379
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: And uh, I just felt almost like it was a gift,

380
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: another opportunity to play and cut it loose with you

381
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 4: guys in the game you love to play and the

382
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: dream that you got to live, you get you may

383
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 4: get some momus time. So I really kept it as

384
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: it kept it as simple as that in my mind.

385
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: And uh and H.

386
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: Harris say, so that was Philip Rivers. I get it,

387
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, if it's in the back of your mind.

388
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: I do think that in one of the things, you know,

389
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: I made mention of it yesterday. This wasn't like they

390
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: called him and he was Lou Brown. I mean I

391
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: joked about it yesterday, right, I got a guy in

392
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: the other line about a couple of white walls. It

393
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: wasn't that, say. One of the advantages and this is

394
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: going to sound ridiculous, admittedly one of the advantages and

395
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: amusing air quotes to an extent of getting a guy

396
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: who has been coaching at the high school level. There

397
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: is no comparison, none, none, between watching high school practices

398
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: and getting out and playing on an NFL field. There

399
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: is no comparison to getting up in the morning and

400
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: running up and down the field. I mean, you know

401
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: you see coaches, right, I mean they can put on

402
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: weight and Philip Rivers has put on wait whatever, but

403
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: it means that he is still involved physically speaking, and

404
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: doing stuff regularly. It's not this guy's not sitting on

405
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: the couch, retired and hasn't picked up a football in

406
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: five years. Clearly, at the very least he is. He

407
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: has range of motion of some sort. But forty four

408
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: years old. I mean, we'll see, we will see, Eddie.

409
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: Were you surprised when you heard yesterday the news?

410
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: I was shocked. I was like, really, there's guys that

411
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: have played more recently that I thought they would have called,

412
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: Like Derek Carr is a good example. Ryan Tannil is

413
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: another one of those guys I recently played. I was

414
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: a little shocked that they would go down the well

415
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: of a guy who hasn't played in five years. But

416
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: I also go back to this, it was just two

417
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: years ago. I forget who it was in the Super

418
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Bowl that was going to sign Philip Rivers if they

419
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: needed a quarterback. I can't remember. Was it San Francisco

420
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: Is when rock Perty went down. Christian McCaffrey's part of that,

421
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Eddie is the fact that he is not a quarterback

422
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: that was relying on his mobility to begin with. Even

423
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: from the beginning, right, you know, he's just kind of

424
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: he is, He's altgo Rico. He stands there and just

425
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: kind of side arm slings it all over the place.

426
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: The first time that I saw Philip.

427
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: Rivers play, first time I'd ever seen him. I'm working

428
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: at Channel six. Dave First is working with me. Dave goes,

429
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: you want to go to the game this weekend? Okay, now,

430
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: this is what a different time this is. To show

431
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: you how long ago it was, it was like Land

432
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: of the Lost. We got in a little canoe and

433
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: we went down a river and threw a cave and

434
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: went right back into This is how long ago it was.

435
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: It was so long ago that IU football could not

436
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 2: have been more irrelevant. Dave and I left at like

437
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: eleven am, and we were in the Memorial Stadium parking

438
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: lot by eleven fifty, and they gave us vouchers for

439
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: free hot dogs because they were so thrilled that people

440
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: came down from Indianapolis to see Indiana football. And I'm Likechael,

441
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: who they playing. Dave goes, well, they're playing INNC State

442
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: and that's why, you know, I used to work in Raleigh,

443
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: so it'd be kind of cool to see NCAA State.

444
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go. So we go in there.

445
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: And there were two players in that game that jumped

446
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: out at me as like, holy cow, these guys are good.

447
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: One of them was a Tory Holt, he said, the

448
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: Tory hold Er, Tory Holtz brother. I can't remember which one.

449
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: But the other one was the freshman quarterback. We're like,

450
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: who is this guy? Some freshmen from but he sounds

451
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: like he's from North Carolina. And he threw for like

452
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty yards and it was Philip Rivers.

453
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers, as I mean, this guy was throwing it

454
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: all over the place and racked up huge numbers. But

455
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: and this would have been eighteen year old Philip Rivers,

456
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: nineteen year old Philip Rivers. But he was not mobile

457
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: even then. He just stood there, almost statuesque, slinging the

458
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: ball around. And that's what they're gonna have to hope for.

459
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to hope that he can still go

460
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: out there throw the ball around and not have to

461
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: rely on his mobility. But we will explore it over

462
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: the course of today. Do they wait a week before

463
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: we see Philip Rivers on the field. One of the

464
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: things that we will keep up on. Also a guy

465
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: that I wanted to know, the challenges of how much

466
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 2: it comes back to you if you try to come

467
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: back as an NFL quarterback, And so I thought who

468
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: better in this town to reach out to that would

469
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: know because he did it a couple of times and

470
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: did so upon retirement. Jeff George is going to join

471
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 2: me coming up about thirty five minutes from now, to

472
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: add some perspective and also to talk about some very

473
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: cool stuff that he has going on during Christmas time.

474
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 2: But Eddie, you dipped into your rolodex. You heard me

475
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: mentioning this guy yesterday, even you know, with that cranium

476
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: of yours at the Big Head Association, you might have

477
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: been tuned in. I did talk about a pacer player

478
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: that has impressed me of late, right.

479
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I did, did did? I can't even speak today.

480
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I did dig into the roll decks a little bit.

481
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: Ethan Thompson joining us. Just don't know the exact time yet.

482
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: I know he will join us within the hour though, Okay,

483
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: within the hour, within the hour, okay.

484
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: Ethan Thompson, newest pacer, going to join us sometime between

485
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: now and one o'clock Jeff George one o'clock as well.

486
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: I mentioned Indiana Football they may be having to speak

487
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: of the Rolodex. Go into their depth chart on defensive line,

488
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about what happened last night on the

489
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: basketball side of things. Mike Nisleck going to join us

490
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: coming up in two fifteen, Joel A. Erickson going to

491
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: join us at two thirty today, loaded one today on

492
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: a hump day Wednesday here on the fan.

493
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know where I was thinking this. I

494
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: thought for certain.

495
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 2: Somebody helped me out here because there are little things, sometimes,

496
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: little nuggets that pop into my brain and I'm like,

497
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: I know I did not dream this. I am certain

498
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: that at some point Philip Rivers had some sort of

499
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: a connection to the state of New Jersey. I know

500
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: that he had like high school in Alabama or his

501
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: dad had coached in Alabama. But when he was at

502
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: NC State, I am certain that Philip Rivers there was

503
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: some sort of connection where he had played in high

504
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: school or done something in this like that he had

505
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: connection to the state of New Jersey. And that's why

506
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: people were like, why does this guy talk like this?

507
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: He's from New Jersey. I maybe I dreamt that entirely,

508
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: but I do know this, speaking of New Jerseys he

509
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: has one here. He will be number Eddie. Do you

510
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: happen to have the breaking news sounder? Not necessarily breaking news.

511
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers will wear his old number seventeen. So Daniel

512
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: Jones said, you know what have that? Could you say

513
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: he was grandfather Dean? Go ahead and hit yourself with that, Eddie.

514
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Well played, thank you, well played, Thank you.

515
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: Now.

516
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: I mentioned going to that n C State Indiana game

517
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: and I'm looking here, I'm telling you Philip Rivers was.

518
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: It was a complete shootout between Indiana and North Carolina

519
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: State and Philip Rivers, I believe was a rookie, or

520
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: excuse me, a freshman thirty one of fifty two for

521
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: four hundred and one yards and five touchdowns. He threw

522
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: four in that game against Indiana in Bloomington, and we

523
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: just sat there like, holy cow, man, who is this guy?

524
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: But he was not overly mobile.

525
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: He was not.

526
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: Pacers of things. Let's get to that because ethan Thoms

527
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: are going to join us at some point. I've mentioned

528
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: empty calorie guys. New term I used came up with.

529
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: And when you go back and you look, because you

530
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: know I talk a lot about precedent, right, one of

531
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: the things when it comes to precedent to me that

532
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: I go back to is the times in the periods

533
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: for the Pacers franchise where you have seen that they

534
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: basically have had to go out and just fill out

535
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: their roster or put guys on the floor. The post

536
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: brawl era is of course the poster child in this

537
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: town of the kind of thing I'm talking about. And

538
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: if you look right after the brawl, and I know

539
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: that that's a long time ago, but after that period,

540
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: and yes, Rick Carlile was a part of that, so

541
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: I mean he helped navigate through all of that. But

542
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: you had guys like Britton Johnson and Macobaston and ikedagu

543
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: and and a lot of these guys you're looking at

544
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: and you're going, okay, so you know this guy, boy,

545
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: this is a nice player here.

546
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: I like this guy.

547
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: And then you find out as they then transitioned into

548
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: a new era and made new draft picks and rebuilt

549
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: a roster. You know, they make the trade and they

550
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: got what they could and they're bringing dun Levy and

551
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: Troy Murphy and you know they had to kind of

552
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: reinvent themselves. But you realize that there were certain players

553
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: that you thought were good players, but they were just

554
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: out there because they were empty calorie guys. They needed

555
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: somebody to just eat up minutes without giving you a

556
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: lot for it in return, so to speak. And this

557
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: year's roster probably they are analyzing and assessing exactly who

558
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: those guys may be.

559
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: Ray J. Dennis at the beginning of the year gave

560
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: them some minutes. He was okay.

561
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: And then because when it comes to the ten day contracts,

562
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: you can only go so many consecutive ten day contracts,

563
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: and in the case of ray J. Dennis, eventually they

564
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: moved on from that. Now he was on a two way, correct,

565
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: but he was on a two way. But but there

566
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 2: was somebody, and I'm trying to think of which one

567
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: it was, that they had signed to a ten day contract.

568
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: They got to the point where they reached the maximum

569
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: of ten day contracts they could sign them to, and

570
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: so then they went ahead and gave them like a

571
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: two way deal which made ray J.

572
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: Dennis expendable. It might have been Jeremiah Robinson Earl. No,

573
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: they signed Ethan Thompson and waived ray J. Dennis. Is

574
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: that it was it Ethan Thompson? Yeah, okay, good either way.

575
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: There's all kinds of you know, ray J Dennis was

576
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: one that I thought. You looked at it and you go, okay,

577
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: he's okay.

578
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: They let Montay Morrisco when they signed h Jeremiah Robinson,

579
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: Earl Okay.

580
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: But when you look right now, some of those names

581
00:30:53,320 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: you've just mentioned, Jeremiah Robinson, Earl Okay, Garrison Matthews that

582
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: you just mentioned, ray J Dennis. Now kind of the

583
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: latest within that mix is Ethan Thompson. And when you

584
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: see a guy like that, you look at it and

585
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: you say, Okay, are they analyzing this because this is

586
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: a guy that can play or an empty calories guy.

587
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: When I watched him, and this is why I was

588
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: impressed by him and why I wanted to have him

589
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: on the show. Here's a guy that is a big

590
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: time recruit. And I get it. Most people listening are

591
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: probably like, I'm not familiar with Ethan Thompson. A big

592
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: time basically five star level, four star level, top one

593
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: hundred recruit, big time player signs with Oregon State, plays

594
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: at Oregon State, leaves there five years ago, has bounced

595
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: around since. But there are players in the NBA. You

596
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: look at it, in the NFL there are players in

597
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: the NFL that are playing on a roster that are complete.

598
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: Their role is totally different than anything they've had to

599
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: do the entire time that they've been growing up, and

600
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, they've got to reinvent what

601
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: what it is that they do and who it is

602
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: that they are. And one of the things about the

603
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: NBA to me that always jumps out, and I say

604
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: this every time I go to the games and I'm

605
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: sitting there, I mean, I'm thinking it the whole time,

606
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: and I oftentimes will say to the person next to me,

607
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: every single player on that floor, every one of them,

608
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: even the empty calorie guys, even the guys that you're like,

609
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: who is this guy that just came in and checked

610
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: in for nine minutes for the New Orleans Pelicans. Every

611
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: player that you see in the NBA is the greatest

612
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: player in the history of their high school and the

613
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: community where they grew up. I mean, unless of course

614
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: they went to you know, yeah, sure, there are examples

615
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: that you can give of, like, well, Steve Downing played

616
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: in the NBA for a year, and JK played with

617
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: George McGinnis. It wouldn't be him, Okay, but people still

618
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: talk about mcginnison downing. You know, any player that you

619
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: taugh talk about, you look at it and you say,

620
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: that guy for his entire life, in ninety five percent

621
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: of the games he's been in, has been the guy.

622
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Fun facts as Scottie Barnes and Kate Cunningham on the

623
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: same high school team. Real they really yes, So you

624
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: can imagine. I mean there are people right now in

625
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: a bar somewhere that are saying, man, I'll never you know,

626
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I was a pretty good player and then we had

627
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: to go out and play against them. Monfre academy.

628
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: Okay, on the one thing where this changes a little bit,

629
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: and I'm going to get into how this is impacting

630
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 2: college basketball as well. The one thing where it changes

631
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: a little bit is the academies. I'm not talking about

632
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: like IMG in Montver where they're just going out now

633
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: and getting the best players from across the country to

634
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: come down there and play for them and they're on

635
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: the same team. I'm talking about somebody from a small

636
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: town in Minnesota and it's like, yeah, this guy came

637
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: through my town and averaged thirty eight a game, and now.

638
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: He's in the NBA.

639
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 2: You know, the I mean, but if you look in

640
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: this town, who are the most legendary players that people

641
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: still talk about? Last night, when I'm at the dinner

642
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: at Irias, one of the topics that came up is like,

643
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: who are the mount Rushmore of Indiana high school basketball players?

644
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: And in this town, in Indianapolis of the last twenty

645
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: five years, probably the big three would be people still

646
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 2: sit around and talk about when they saw Eric Gordon play,

647
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: when they saw Greg Odin play, when they saw Mike

648
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: Conley play, when they saw Rodney Carney play, Jeff Tigue,

649
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: Jeff Tigue, and Jeff Tigue was one not unlike Rodney

650
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: Carney that wasn't even like in the mainstream, right, he

651
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: wasn't even in the main conversation at the time. He

652
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: was kind of a late bloomer. But either way, guys

653
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: that played with those guys are are like, yeah, that's

654
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: the best player I've ever seen. I mean, it was

655
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: very clear.

656
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: And if you want to go even more recent, Tray Jackson, Davis,

657
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Guy.

658
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 2: Correct, and both of them are fringe NBA players, right,

659
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: and they're jendary players everywhere they've been. So what the

660
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: point I'm getting at is what I want to talk

661
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: to Ethan Thompson about. I'm watching the game the other

662
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: night and late in the game against Sacramento the Pacers,

663
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: Sacramento had cut that lead down to two. The Pacers

664
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 2: had three straight possessions where possessions were kept alive because

665
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: of Ethan Thompson making keeping a ball alive with strictly

666
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: hustle plays and out hustling guys to loose balls and

667
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: loose rebounds. And I'm watching it say to myself, that's

668
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: a guy that for the majority of his career has

669
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: been the one that was not the auxiliary role player

670
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: but the main line player. Now he's having to be

671
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: the auxiliary role player. And some guys can figure that

672
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: out and some guys struggle with it, and the ones

673
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: that figure it out manage to stick around. And is

674
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: that something that's going to help him stick around? I'll

675
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: ask him exactly that. And then Jeff George in terms

676
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: of just the person effectives of a quarterback at the

677
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: age of forty four for the Colts, what we can

678
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: look for from Philip Rivers and some good stuff Jeff's

679
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 2: doing for Christmas. That conversation coming up in about eighteen minutes.

680
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: Eddie how was the drive to Laport yesterday?

681
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 5: Oh?

682
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: It was just great, Jake. Did you listen to the

683
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: program during the drive? Did you what did you listen to?

684
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: I can't listen to the program. I don't get the signal.

685
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: You know they have the app that you can use

686
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: for that. Yeah, I know, it's twenty twenty five, you

687
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Yeah, so you know there's that.

688
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 1: Eddie again.

689
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: Yesterday was up for the Big Head Association in the

690
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 2: Cranium modeling, right, big for big hats.

691
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I told you on the top, So I

692
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: found out more about this shit. Not to cut you up,

693
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: but I didn't know this, and I don't know if

694
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: they told you this.

695
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: Remember a couple of years ago, there was this rage craze,

696
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: you know, craze of the of literally the big hats,

697
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: the big overdone over hats. Oh yeah, and so that

698
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 2: was that was such a thing, right, and sales really

699
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: slowed for that. And my understanding is sales slowed for

700
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: it because once the gimmick of that was done and

701
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 2: you know, people were like, okay, it was, the gag

702
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: was kind of up after a while, and then they

703
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: realized they had all of these big, huge hats, and

704
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: they thought, well, we could sell them the people that

705
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: have abnormally large heads and get rid of our surplus.

706
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 2: And so they needed models that weren't eight and five

707
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: eights hat. And I guess because you're in the Big

708
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: Head Association, you got the email notification of the possibility

709
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: of going up to model for it.

710
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, I got an email saying, hey, calling all

711
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: big heads out there. Yeah, so you drove up to

712
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: La Porte. I have no idea. What did they say

713
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: why they picked Laporta's the photo studio to do this.

714
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: I didn't ask questions. I just I was just honored

715
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: to be a part of that committee. So you show

716
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: up and how many people were there to audition formh

717
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: was a good amount of people, Jake ye. I think

718
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: there was like thirty to fifty. I lost, I mean

719
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: the egos in that room because of course the Big

720
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: Head Association. So you get there, Well, we couldn't be

721
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: in a room, Jake, because all of our heads took

722
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: up the entire room. So I can sell that outside, right, yes, Okay,

723
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: So you get there and then they did they just

724
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: say to you, okay, take a number, or did you

725
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: when you by the time you got there, did they say, oh,

726
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: you know what, we we actually have discovered the guy

727
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: that is the this is the perfect like cranium that

728
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: we're looking for. I mean, how were you eliminated? Exactly?

729
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: So it's like for a marathon or if you were

730
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: checking in for the the the drumstick Dash, you know

731
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving you have to check in and get your

732
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: number or whatever. So you get there, you check in,

733
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, what's your name, and you give me your

734
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: name or whatever. They're like okay, and then they'll have

735
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 1: a step aside and then essentially they have like three

736
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: people off to the side and they start calling people

737
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: up one by one. They start measuring your cranium and

738
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: then next thing you know, they take however many people,

739
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: I think it was that they took the top ten,

740
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: like they say, hey, we're taking the top ten biggest

741
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 1: heads to advance to the second round of the quote

742
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: unquote screening process. And therefore I was cut off. I

743
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: was not inside the top ten. Unfortunately. Now I don't

744
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: know what the size was, and I don't know where

745
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: I felt.

746
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: My understanding is the winner. Ray mckickney was the winner

747
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 2: of the modeling competition. Apparently a legend within the Large

748
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: Cranium Association.

749
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: I've heard of them. Big Head Association told him I

750
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: do a radio show from noon to three. They would have,

751
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, they would have.

752
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: Well, we've heard about that show and the guy that

753
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: does it actually has probably the bigger head of the

754
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: two of you.

755
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say they need all the

756
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: promotion they can get to get more people out there.

757
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: That's true. Well, apparently they don't need much because they had.

758
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: Ray mccickney found out about it and was able to

759
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: become the Big Cranium model. So sorry that it didn't

760
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: work out for you, but we'll see if you get

761
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: another opportunity.

762
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: Last night, Assembly Hall.

763
00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: I am almost embarrassed to admit this, but I had

764
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: forgotten that Indiana plays last night. I mean not like

765
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: I mean we mentioned it yesterday, but you know, I

766
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: don't know if anybody else this happens to it. But

767
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: you get off work and run around and you're doing

768
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: things like, oh gosh, that's right, today's Tuesday. I thought

769
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 2: it was Wednesday or you know whatever. So the reminder

770
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: for me that Indiana was playing is I was sent

771
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: a photo of Assembly Hall at the start of the game. Now,

772
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how it was as the game went on.

773
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: And Indiana last night offensively and this is what you

774
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: were going to get when you have teams that are

775
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: so reliant on the outside shot. And Indiana, I think

776
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: we saw against Louisville, is one that does not have

777
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: a lot of athleticism, but they can shoot the basketball,

778
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: no question about that. And what did I tell you

779
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: about Wilkerson. I said he is a lightning and a

780
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: bottle kind of guy. And it reminds me a little

781
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: bit of like Carson Edwards and the fact that when

782
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: he gets hot, he gets super And having said that,

783
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: last night, he got exactly that. But I was surprised disappointed.

784
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: But it's the reality of it, and this is going

785
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: to be an unpopular opinion. Part of it, I know

786
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: is there's no students on campus.

787
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: I get it.

788
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 2: Part of it is I know that Indiana football is,

789
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, getting all of the attention.

790
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: I get it.

791
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: Part of it is that Indiana has not had a

792
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: lot of success as a basketball program in relation to

793
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: where and who they think they are in the last

794
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: ten years. I get it, And there's a fatigue that

795
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: goes into that. But seeing the sparse crowd at the

796
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: beginning of the game last night, and it was a

797
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 2: great performance for Indiana. But Indiana basketball is a blue blood.

798
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: And I know that Purdue right now is the pre

799
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: eminent program and Mackie is the place to be and

800
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: winning cures all.

801
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: I get it.

802
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 2: But it is my opinion that we are going to

803
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: see even an increase in this college basketball in the

804
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: brand of college basketball is fading, not because college football.

805
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: And look at college football right now. We're sitting here

806
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: still discussing Notre Dame and the playoffs and everything else,

807
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: and everybody's talking about the college football playoff. College basketball,

808
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 2: I think has been really really impacted, not only by

809
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 2: nil but the one and done stuff because you had

810
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal. You know, when Indiana was playing

811
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: Kansas State, I'm listening to the pregame and Don Fisher's

812
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: doing the pregame introductions and in doing so, he is

813
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: literally while he is listing off the roster for Kansas State,

814
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: he is listing off for every single player you know,

815
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: where their previous school was. Instead of you know, a six'

816
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: six sophomore From, Abilene, kansas it's you, know six to

817
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: six sophomore From Oklahoma, state From, elon you know, whatever

818
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 2: because every player on that roster had. Transferred, now there's

819
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with, that except for that when you are

820
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: a diehard fan of a, program it becomes difficult to

821
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 2: track follow support your program because it's like this revolving

822
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: door of who it is that you're rooting. For but

823
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 2: in addition to, THAT i think one of the things

824
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: that really is hurting college, basketball And i'm not saying

825
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: this doesn't happen in, football but in basketball in, particular

826
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 2: the number of players, now AND i see it all

827
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: over the, place the number of people that are, like,

828
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 2: well you, know my son in terms of high, school

829
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: he's a seventh, grader and we're looking at which high,

830
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: school but we like this one over that one because

831
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: they more run the offense that he runs in.

832
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: Basketball and it's like.

833
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: What and that then parlays into kids that are transferring

834
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: high schools with regularity and then going to the specified basketball,

835
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 2: academies The, montverd THE, img The New. Hampton's and so

836
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: the idea Of.

837
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: La lomire IS i don't, Know La lamire is a big.

838
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: One so the, idea no matter what state you're, in

839
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: of MAN i can't wait to see the kid From,

840
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: marion or the kid From Louisville, ballard or the kid

841
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: from you, know whatever high school it might be once

842
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 2: they get to the university that you, Know normally that

843
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: was a pipeline For kentucky Or louisville Or indiana Or

844
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: kansas or. Whatever now the mercenary level of. It AND

845
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 2: i don't blame the kids for. IT i DON'T i

846
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: get it, all BUT i think it has just become

847
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: so blurred for people to follow and so confusing for

848
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: people to. Follow in the days of, man When Antoine

849
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: jobert is in his seventh year as a senior And

850
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,799

851
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 2: going to? Be When Richard ralford if he gets his shot.

852
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 2: Going the non familiarity with, roster with personnel is making

853
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: it nearly, impossible nearly impossible for people to keep track of.

Speaker 5: four weeks, left if you're the head, coach you're you're you're.

966
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 5: him BUT i just don't know what it adds to

967
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 5: the team with four weeks left in the.

968
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 2: Season, jeff you would, know you, know like in if

969
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: you look back at the, year And i'm talking about

970
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 2: maybe like The Seattle Chicago, times right when you were

971
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: out there and you were a veteran player at that

972
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: point and who had not been on the field for

973
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 2: a while as AN nfl player and a guy that's

974
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: thrown a ga billion passes for a million yards and

975
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: led the league in passing yardage for a, year but

976
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 2: then having a little bit of time off and going

977
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: back out onto a. Field is it like riding a

978
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 2: bike or is the game moving faster than it is

979
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 2: that you recall when you had last played.

980
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 5: It when you do, that the game really never seemed.

981
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 5: Fast you. Know the toughest part was in my situation

982
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 5: In seattle And. Chicago you, know if you want to continue,

983
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 5: playing you, know you just you know you're at one

984
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 5: stop and then the next year you might be somewhere.

985
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 5: Else and that's kind OF i just wanted to keep.

986
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 5: PLAYING i wanted to try and get on a playoff caliber.

987
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 5: Team and this is what they told. Me we're bringing

988
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 5: you in to if we get to the playoffs and

989
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 5: we have an. Injury we got confidence in you that

990
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 5: you've been there and you can just step right. In

991
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 5: you you played under a lot of. Offenses we think

992
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 5: you can learn it and learn the offense within a

993
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 5: couple of. Weeks AND i remember sitting down With Mike

994
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 5: holmgren WHEN i went To, seattle and that was kind

995
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 5: of that. Situation they had goals and dreams and they

996
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,479
Speaker 5: had a good team And Matt hasselback was their. Guy

997
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 5: and it wasn't a situation WHERE i was going in

998
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 5: competing With. Matt it was, like all, right If matt

999
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 5: gets if we able to get the playoffs And matt gets,

1000
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 5: hurt we got confidence in. You you've had six seven

1001
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 5: weeks to learn the. OFFENSE i THINK i went in

1002
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 5: there with twelve weeks ago in the season and learned

1003
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 5: the offense in a couple of weeks AND i was.

1004
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 5: Ready so if he went, DOWN i was. Ready so

1005
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 5: that's kind of what they brought me in, for you,

1006
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 5: know for the playoff run if If matt went, hurt

1007
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 5: and it's kind of If matt got, hurt and the

1008
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 5: same thing was With. Chicago it was it WAS i

1009

00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 5: Lovey smith was the, coach and he kind of brought

1015
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,799

1017
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 5: a great, defense quarterback went. Down but you know we

1018
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 5: need a veteran. Guy we don't need you to play

1019
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 5: these first couple of, games, two three. Games we just

1020

1024
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 5: you that you can lead us the rest of the.

1025
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 5: Way so you, KNOW i guess that's with the situation,

1026
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 5: Here but with four weeks with With, philip you know

1027
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 5: he's been. HERE i understand the friendship that he's had

1028
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 5: With styching when he was out In San, diego When

1029
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 5: philip was still playing The San DIEGO i get all

1030
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 5: that and kind of knows the. Offense But i'm telling,

1031
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 5: you the body is just that forty five and five years,

1032
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 5: out you can do all you. Want i'm just not

1033
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 5: sure what that brings to the. Team SO i would

1034
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 5: focus On Riley. LEONARD i would definitely FOR i don't

1035
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 5: know what situation of how healthy he, is whether he

1036
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 5: can play or. Not BUT i would make darn sure

1037
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 5: That i'm doing everything possible, trainers, doctors AND i imagine they,

1038
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 5: are BUT i would make darn sure to get him in,

1039
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 5: there because if he can, play that brings us a

1040
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 5: totally different element to the game you're so used. To Daniel.

1041
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 5: Jones teams are preferring against. That now you've got to

1042
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 5: prepare against ar and what he brings the. Table that to,

1043
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 5: me that's the that's the route that you should. Go but,

1044
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 5: again it's all about whether he's healthy or.

1045
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 2: Not Jeff, george my guests on the Job house peeling

1234
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,160

Speaker 2: okay you know christmasqb dot com by the, way And

1236

Speaker 2: i'll get everybody the information on how they can do.

1237
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: This it's very.

1238
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 2: Simple you can go To christmas qb dot com and

1240
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 2: towards the goal of helping out two thousand foster and

1241
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 2: vulnerable families here At christmas and just letting and, notably you,

1242
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 2: know kids have that Special. Christmas and it's not even

1243
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 2: necessarily about making sure there's tons of gifts under the,

1244
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 2: tree but rather about having a family being able to

1245
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 2: wake up and together see that a community is there

1246
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 2: and that they are noticed and that they are. SEEN

1247
01:04:55,560 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 2: i think that is so important AND i was curious of.

1248
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: THIS i, know in knowing you how much family means to.

1249
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 2: You you, know it's hard to talk To Jeff george

1250
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 2: and bring, up, say for, example your mom without hearing

1251
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 2: you get emotional about it and what that has meant

1252
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 2: to you and your brothers and your. Dad how old

1253
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 2: were you when you, realized as all of us, do

1254
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 2: that the great childhood that you were afforded was not

1255
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 2: something that all families fortunately were able to.

1256
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 5: Have well that's a good. Question uh maybe, uh just

1257

1413
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of that game Against, sacramento there

1414
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 2: was at one point in that, Game, ethan there were

1415
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 2: three straight possessions where you either kept the ball alive

1416
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 2: on an offensive rebound or tapped out defensive rebounds and

1417
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 2: just putting yourself hustle plays quite, frankly to keep possessions

1418
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 2: alive or to Prohibit sacramento from getting a second look at.

1419
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 2: Things and THEN i looked at, it And i'm, like

01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 2: you were a five star, recruit you grew up In,

1421
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 2: California you're a five star, Recruit you go To Oregon,

Speaker 2: state you play obviously in a big. Conference when did

1423
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: you realize that and how did you manage to transition

1424
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 2: from being a guy that spent the majority of your

1425
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 2: career is the mainline player to now a guy that

1426
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,440

1431
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 6: coaches That i've had growing up have have given me

1432
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 6: a great foundation, of, uh you, know what winning basketball.

1433
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 6: Is and you, know it's not always that you got

1434
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 6: to be the one that's hitting the shots to to

1435
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 6: make an impact on the, game but whether it's facing

1436
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 6: the floor, properly you, know making the hustle, plays making

1437
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 6: the right reads, offensively, defensively and then, yeah just doing

1438
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 6: whatever it. Takes and then you, know having that that,

1439
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,800

01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,679
Speaker 6: guys with the majority of. Guys BUT i will say

1506
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 6: That Jay huffs has done a good job, of you,

1507
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 6: know kind of taking me under his. Wing you, know

1508
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,040

1509
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 6: battling it in THE G, league and then you, know

1510

1516
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: Sure is it hard to.

1517
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 2: When you are in And i'm going to say this, Respectfully,

1518
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,680

1519
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,240

1520
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 2: right where you're going and you're playing for different. Teams

1521
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 2: is it difficult in a situation to hone in on

1522
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 2: what it is that The pacers need you to do

1523
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 2: as opposed to taking the opportunity to showcase what you

1524
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 2: can do elsewhere for other teams to. See does that

1525
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 2: make sense What i'm?

1526
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: Asking for?

1527
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 6: SURE i mean is Not it's not too difficult for

1528
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 6: me because for, me one of the big things That i've,

1529
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,040

Speaker 6: WHICH i have been on you, know many the league

1531

Speaker 6: your feet are and not not worrying about the, future

1724
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:03,400

1742
01:28:56,080 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 4: of thought that ship had, sailed but something about it excited,

1743
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 4: me and, Uh it's kind of one of those. Deals

1744
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 4: the door opens and you can either walk through it

1745
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 4: and find out if you can do, it or or

1746
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 4: run from. It AND i, KNOW i know that there's

1747
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 4: there's risk involved obviously of what may or may it

1748
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 4: may not, happen but the only one to find out

1749
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 4: is going for. It and, UH i just felt almost

1750
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 4: like it was a, gift another opportunity to play and

1751
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 4: cut it loose with you guys in the game you

Speaker 2: your you, know your your legs and everything. Else there

1761
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: is that question of the physical. Toll and then it

1762
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 2: goes without saying the physicality of a. Team for, example

1763
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,679
Speaker 2: if it's going to Be seattle where he first makes his. Start,

Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the final four games of this season

1816
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:31,400

1818
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 2: it's gotta Be, saturday, right just because of the fact

1819
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 2: that you had like no coaching experience and he was

1820
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 2: ON espn like hours, beforehand which one was a bigger

1821
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,479

01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: Fan that's my.

1823

Speaker 2: to this.

1827
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:09,679
Speaker 1: Every.

1828
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 2: Year you, know there's kind of been a lot of

1829
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 2: the shows THAT i do each, day and it's not

1830
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 2: even by design sometimes BUT i just they take on a,

1831
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 2: theme and today's theme to some extent is about like

1832
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 2: loyalty or understanding of.

1833
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:29,799
Speaker 1: It Philip.

1834
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 2: RIVERS i think felt you just heard him, there the

1835
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 2: emotion in his voice of this franchise in The, colts

1836
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i think he knew that when The chargers had

1837
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,759
Speaker 2: decided to move on or whatever the situation was, there

1838
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 2: that it Was Jim orsay and The colts that gave

1839

1921
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 2: beginning of last night's conversation was about The colts and

1922
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,800
Speaker 2: about this story Of Philip rivers returning at the age

1923
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,639

1924
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 2: back at the age of forty, Four maybe it is

1925
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 2: a little bit about loyalty or, familiarity because sure they

1926
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: reached out To Derek, Carr sure they reached out To Andrew.

1927
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 2: Luck sure they may have asked a couple of other,

Speaker 1: Worked and so he's. Back.

1932
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 2: NOW a couple of questions, here the first being something weird.

1933
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:57,200
Speaker 2: HAPPENS i can only imagine when you are in the

1934
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 2: peak athletic shape that you need to be in to

1935
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 2: play professional sports at the highest of. Levels you can

1936
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 2: only imagine what happens when your metabolism then slows down

1937
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 2: to the form of a normal. Guy and when you're

1938
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 2: playing professional. Sports believe, me The, colts The, PACERS i,

1939
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 2: Mean i've been through the. FACILITIES i see the chefs

1940
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 2: and the restaurants and the cafes and everything they have

1941
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:24,120
Speaker 2: and the protein smoothies and everything is designed everything your.

1942
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 2: Body when you are a professional, athlete you are a.

1943
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 2: Machine and it is no different The pacers, personnel The colts.

1944
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:37,679
Speaker 2: Personnel you are seen by those franchises as a high,

1945
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 2: functioning top level. Machine and you wouldn't go into A

1946
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:48,120
Speaker 2: ferrari factory or A lamborghini factory and expect them to

1947
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 2: be putting the cheapest of gas or the bargain basement

1948
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 2: oil in those. Machines and the same is true of the.

1949
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 2: Diet so you can only imagine what happens when you're

1950
01:40:01,040 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 2: done playing then and instead of eating everything that is

1951
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 2: perfectly fine tuned to exactly what your blood, type your muscle,

1952
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 2: mass everything that you, need and yes it is that

1953
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 2: specified with professional, athletes then all of a sudden you're

1954
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,880
Speaker 2: going out and you're eating like a Normal. Joe, right

1955
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:21,760
Speaker 2: you go From Pro Bowl joe to Average. Joe what

1956
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 2: does that do to your? Body Philip rivers was asked in, Fact,

1967
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: True that is. True.

1968
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 2: Now seattle a top five defense in terms of. SACKS

1969

1970
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 2: aggressive good, defense and a really good, team really good.

1971
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 2: Team it's going to take a best effort from The,

1972
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:09,040
Speaker 2: colts regardless of the, quarterback to get a win In.

1973
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:12,799
Speaker 2: Seattle and they are in situation now where with four games,

1974
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 2: remaining they certainly need probably. Three they could maybe get

1975
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 2: away with it at two more wins if those wins

1976
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 2: are within the division Against jacksonville And, houston depending on

1977
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 2: what those teams. Do but with all of, that the

1978
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 2: reality is That seattle is a big. One and there

Speaker 2: whether or not The colts that would be in their

1982
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:49,280

01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:57,320
Speaker 7: focused on. Football BUT i, MEAN i was the heck

2105
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,120
Speaker 7: of an offensive performance yesterday BY. R.

2106
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 2: Wilkerson it, was and so let's let's focus on. THAT

2107
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 2: I my thought is, This and then you tell me

2108
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 2: If i'm speaking too generically About Darren devriese's team in

2109
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 2: his first year In. Bloomington i've watched a lot of.

2110
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:15,519
Speaker 2: THEM i, obviously like, most watched the vast majority of

2111
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 2: that game With, louisville AND i thought that their lack

2112
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,160
Speaker 2: of athleticism in that game really was showcased By, louisville

2113
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 2: who was able to exploit. It but when you can

2114
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 2: shoot the ball with volume rhythm, shooters you're gonna give

2115
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,920
Speaker 2: yourself a chance more often than. Not last night we

2116
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 2: saw exactly. That can they find a, BALANCE i, guess

2117
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:38,720
Speaker 2: if you, will of not being so three reliant and

2118
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,719
Speaker 2: getting themselves better in those situations where they're getting run

2119
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 2: against A Louisville or is this kind of where we

2120
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,200
Speaker 2: are Of knights when it's Going they're gonna be really

2121
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 2: Good Knights when it's, not then go ahead and leave it.

2122
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 1: Halftime, YEAH i.

2123
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:53,600
Speaker 7: Think it's a. LITTLE i think it's a little THAT

2124
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 7: i think they're gonna struggle when they. Can't they're not

2125
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 7: gonna be able to. Shoot they're they're gonna struggle because

2126
01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 7: that's their, strength, Right and he lined up, shooters, right

2127
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 7: that's what he, Recruited that's what That's this lineup, is you,

2128
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 7: know three point shooting heavy and so when you can't

2129
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 7: hit the, BASKET i, mean that's gonna be some long.

2130
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 7: NIGHTS i think you will see more steady. Consistency SO

2131
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 7: i think they will have more of a defensive. Identity

2132
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 7: there won't be as many, lapses and they will be

2133
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 7: able to sort, of you, know kind of just get

2134
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:21,559
Speaker 7: out of those games a couple of those and low

2135
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 7: scoring affairs by just being sort of the better team

2136
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 7: defensively and getting just enough off. Times BUT i think

2137
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 7: you'll see this growth from this team as they sort

2138
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 7: of played. Together remember there's a whole new. Roster this

2139
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:33,759
Speaker 7: is not just like this is gonna be a straight line.

2140
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 7: UP i think it's gonna take a. TIME i think

2141
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 7: if you look back to the rebuilds he had At

2142
01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 7: drake in his last. Year Jared debrize speaking of In West,

2143
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 7: virginia there were moments like. This it's in the early

2144
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 7: in the, season they suffered a bad Loss West virginia

2145
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 7: did To pittsburgh that you, know AND i was Told

2146
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 7: devrez didn't speak on the way. Home they took a

2147
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 7: bus and it was like a couple hour, drive and

2148
01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,120
Speaker 7: then immediately started watching. Film it's, like there's gonna be

2149
01:49:57,160 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 7: those moments just because it's such a new roster that

2150
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 7: you're going to, struggle you, know and there's just gonna

2151
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:04,640
Speaker 7: be times where you kind of need to. Regroup he,

2152
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:06,640
Speaker 7: said they watched a lot of, film so they you,

2153
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 7: know made some different emphasis on calling specific plays and

2154
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:14,080
Speaker 7: doing more and more of those things on the coaching

2155
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:15,639
Speaker 7: side of it to help the team out of. It

2156
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 7: BUT i just think it's gonna be a learning process

2157
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 7: for a team that's never played, before you, know together

2158
01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 7: before obviously this season and you know WHEN i was

2159
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:26,639
Speaker 7: a single, player and so it takes time to build

2160
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 7: that chemistry.

2161
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:29,719
Speaker 1: The going into.

2162
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 2: IT i, mean, obviously you, Know Penn state was interesting

2163
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:35,240
Speaker 2: to me because when you're looking at the, score you're, saying,

2164
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:38,400
Speaker 2: wow you, Know indiana absolutely eviscerated a team that comes

2165
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 2: in at eight and. One but is it fair to, Say,

2166
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 2: mike we didn't know a lot About Penn state necessarily

2167
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 2: because their schedule to that point is one that it's

2168
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 2: just now getting real for.

2169
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:52,400
Speaker 1: Them Fair, yeah.

2170
01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 7: ABSOLUTELY i, mean, Look Penn state's gonna finish at the

2171
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 7: bottom Of Big. TEN i, mean that's no. Question BUT

2172
01:50:57,640 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 7: i also think there's something to be. SAID i, mean

2173
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 7: we've seen the foot team to do it, right beating

2174
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 7: teams that you should, beat like This indian team probably

2175
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 7: should have Beat minnesota, too and they lost that. Game

2176
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:08,880
Speaker 7: SO i, mean you take care of, Business you take

2177
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 7: care of business and impressive pressive, fashion and you sort

2178
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:14,920
Speaker 7: of build back some momentum for That kentucky, game which

2179
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 7: is one that you kind of want to get back

2180
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 7: now because you did lose To minnesota and you did

2181
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 7: didn't look great Against. Louisville but and SO i think

2182
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 7: those are important, moments, like, look you get credit for

2183
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 7: beating the teams on your, schedule whether they're good or,

2184
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,559
Speaker 7: bad and like this was a Bad Penn state, team but,

2185
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 7: man do they look good good beating.

2186
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 2: Them i'll tell you. What forty four points in twenty

2187
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 2: four minutes is kind of, absurd is it? Not ten

2188
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 2: to fifteen for three point range sixteen of twenty two

2189
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 2: from the floor For Lamar, wilkerson it is an assembly haul.

2190
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 2: Record was that an example of a guy simply getting

2191
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 2: his shot and feeling it no matter where he, was

2192
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:54,599
Speaker 2: or was it more an example of he knocked down

2193
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 2: a couple, early And indiana then did an outstanding job

2194
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:03,720
Speaker 2: of finding him in spots where he needed to be found, again.

2195
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 7: Both because like the, players his teammates, recognized, like, look

2196
01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:07,800
Speaker 7: this guy's on a, heater we have to get him

2197
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 7: the ball right, Right and then he. Was but he

2198
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 7: was also not JUST i, mean you, know look he

2199
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 7: hit ten three, pointers and you, know he was just

2200
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 7: out of this, world but he got his shot to

2201
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 7: like going to the. Basket like there was a couple

2202
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:20,880
Speaker 7: of times in the first, HALF i think he scored

2203
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 7: eleven straight points and only one of those was a three.

2204
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 7: Pointer he was driving the, lane so he, was you,

2205
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 7: know feeling it in the sense that, like, look he

2206
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 7: was feeling confident and good and not just like LOOK

2207
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:31,680
Speaker 7: i don't have TO i mean he was in the

2208
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:33,599
Speaker 7: second half a lot more were, threes BUT i mean

2209
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 7: he was when the opportunity was, there he was cut

2210
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 7: into the. Basket and and THAT'S i think it's just as, important,

2211
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 7: right just having him feel you, know because he was

2212
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 7: in a. SLUMP i think it was ten for forty

2213
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 7: and over the last six, games and so he just

2214
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,559
Speaker 7: needed to feel, better more comfortable, offensively and you saw

2215
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:50,000
Speaker 7: that in all, facets AND i think that was the

2216
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 7: big thing that stood, out just, like, yeah he was

2217
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:53,720
Speaker 7: hitting him from anywhere on the, floor but he was

2218
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 7: also just not you, know chucking up from half, court

2219
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 7: like he was trying to work and get a shot

2220
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 7: and get things in the flow of the game and

2221
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 7: not just sort, of you, know throw up. Threes BUT

2222
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:04,760
Speaker 7: i mean the second, half there were a couple of

2223
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 7: times when he was just wide open and he's, like,

2224
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:08,559
Speaker 7: WELL i MEAN i guess, right if you're not gonna guard, me,

2225
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:09,720
Speaker 7: Sure i'll just take this right.

2226
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:13,040
Speaker 2: Now, Okay so let's get to the football side of

2227
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:18,240
Speaker 2: things before we get into injury. Situation let me ask

2228
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 2: This indiana coming off of that euphoric evening On, saturday

2229

2232
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:34,439
Speaker 2: in terms of the Way Kurt signetti is handling, schedule,

2233
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 2: availability et cetera for, players or did they get a

2234
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 2: little bit of time off before they then regroup for this.

2235
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: Push, yeah they're gonna get a little time.

2236
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,519
Speaker 7: Out they're basically handling the next kind of like ten

2237
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:47,200
Speaker 7: days ish as an off, week an extended off week

2238
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 7: like they'd handle handle it during the, season sort of

2239
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 7: rest and recovery for the. Players coaches will do some

2240
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 7: scouting the you, know they're basically waiting to get in

2241
01:53:57,080 --> 01:54:00,240
Speaker 7: sort of the game prep or mode until they know their.

2242
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 7: Opponent essentially we have wait Till Oklahoma. Alabama they'll do the,

2243
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 7: uh you, know the way to kind of do a

2244
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 7: deep dive into one of the opponent until they get

2245
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:12,720
Speaker 7: to uh to find out who it. Is so that's

2246

2257

2265
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:09,680

2269
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 7: his leg being, immobilized and he's likely probably i think

2270
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 7: was the word he, used out for the rest of

2271
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 7: the season and won't be back for THE ce. Run

2272

Speaker 7: know you can say for, sure, right but obviously just

2291
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 7: kind of a freak. Thing and you, know he was

2292
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 7: as good of a, player not just on the team

2293
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 7: but in the country on defense the last like six, weeks.

2294
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 2: And he was he was initially he was offering depth

2295
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 2: To indiana because you, know that was a situation in

2296
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 2: a position where they had had attrition even before. That

2297
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 2: do they have now depth to replace?

2298
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 7: Him, WELL i, mean, Look i'm not going to count it.

2299
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:46,280
Speaker 7: OUT i, mean it's not proven that there's not experience

2300
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 7: in that. Bench D andy in The Duke way is

2301
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 7: probably the guy next man. Up BUT i, mean like

2302
01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 7: everybody That Brian haynes has turned to has stepped in

2303
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 7: and been. Productive, like, look, Look Isaiah jones wasn't expected

2304
01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:58,840
Speaker 7: to do what he's done this. Season Cayden turner came

2305
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 7: in for a game and got an inner reception and

2306
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 7: made an.

2307
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:02,040
Speaker 5: Impact, Like i'm.

2308
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 7: Not going to count out because this defense has and like,

2309
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 7: uh D'Angelo pond's The iowa game and you, Know gandy

2310
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:12,400
Speaker 7: stepped in and played, well and so like every time

2311
01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 7: if there's been a moment like, This Brian haynes has

2312
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:17,040
Speaker 7: coached up the player that's come. In So i'm not

2313
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:19,960
Speaker 7: going to, say you know, YOU i, mean, look DO

2314
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 7: i think that they'll get the kind of production they

2315
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 7: got from Daily, no DO i think they'll be The

2316
01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 7: Dale duque will step in and do a nice. Job

2317
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 7: probably just based on the evidence we've seen of what

2318
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 7: this defense has, done you, know over the last two

2319
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:32,120

2366
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 2: Philip rivers is going to be the quarterback to do.

2367
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 8: It, Oh Jeff. Saturday, Okay Jeff, saturday by like a

2368
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 8: mile and a. HALF I i actually don't think like

2369
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 8: when you sit back and think about the position The

2370
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 8: cults are in with with their top two quarterbacks being

2371
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:50,360
Speaker 8: down that, like you, know after you get through the

2372
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:54,680
Speaker 8: initial shock of five you, know the five, years you're, like,

2373
01:59:54,720 --> 01:59:57,400
Speaker 8: well there really isn't anybody else they can. FIND i

2374
01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,800
Speaker 8: can kind of talk myself into. It it's A Jeff saturday.

2375
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 8: DAY i keep saying, That. JEFF i feel like the

2376
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 8: further we get away from, THAT i feel LIKE i

2377
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 8: dreamed that whole last eight games that.

2378
02:00:08,720 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Season, yeah that's. Fair okay for the quarterback. Spot let's

2379
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:17,240
Speaker 2: get to, this and it's kind of, irrelevant but it's.

2380
02:00:17,280 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 2: Not do we have a list of quarterbacks that we

2381
02:00:21,720 --> 02:00:24,560
Speaker 2: are fairly certain The colts kicked the tires on before

2382
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 2: settling On Philip settling is the wrong, word but deciding

2383
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 2: On Philip.

2384
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 8: RIVERS i don't think we have a. LIST i think

2385
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 8: it's more that if you go by process of, elimination

2386
02:00:36,320 --> 02:00:38,600
Speaker 8: just in terms of who can be, traded who can't be,

2387
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:42,600
Speaker 8: traded who's on other teams practice squads and therefore can be.

2388
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 8: Protected you can kind of realize you go through that

2389
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:52,480
Speaker 8: you're looking at some a pretty sparse list of. PEOPLE

2390
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 8: i have to Give Nathan brown credit for. This he

2391
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:59,720
Speaker 8: went through every single transaction where they have to, tryout

2392
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:01,960
Speaker 8: back to the beginning of the season and came up

2393
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:06,760
Speaker 8: with sixteen quarterbacks that have had tryouts with teams or

2394
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 8: workouts with, teams including The colts When Anthony richardson got,

2395
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 8: hurt and that list included two, QUARTERBACKS i gotta be,

2396
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:15,120
Speaker 8: HONEST i hadn't heard of.

2397

Speaker 1: Name did you Say Ben? Wolridge, Yes, oh he played

2405

Speaker 2: Eddie Ben woolridge looks Like Doogie howser, right kind of looks.

2408
02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:52,120
Speaker 8: Like there's other names like there's other names on there

2409
02:01:52,120 --> 02:01:54,960
Speaker 8: that they're kind of bouncing around in the in the

2410
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:58,040
Speaker 8: echoes of my, brain Like Austin reid And Taylor eldersma

2411
02:01:58,200 --> 02:01:58,720
Speaker 8: and stuff like.

2412
02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: That, OKAY i kind of, remember what about?

2413
02:02:01,360 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 2: This, okay what about? This Sam ellinger is on a practice. Squad,

2414
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:08,760
Speaker 2: correct that's, true meaning he.

2415
02:02:09,080 --> 02:02:13,440
Speaker 8: Correct so so With Sam, ellinger there's an interesting thing.

2416
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 8: HERE i don't. KNOW i do not know if The

2417
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:18,320
Speaker 8: colts tried to get him off Of denver's practice squad

2418
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:18,960
Speaker 8: at any point this.

2419
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Season WHAT i do.

2420
02:02:20,560 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 8: Know is That broncos, reporters, uh Several broncos reporters said

2421
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:29,600
Speaker 8: that at the beginning of the season he had opportunities

2422
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 8: to join at least two other fifty three man rosters

2423
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:36,480
Speaker 8: instead of staying On denver's practice, squad and he told him,

2424
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,640
Speaker 8: no to stay On denver's practice.

2425
02:02:38,640 --> 02:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Squad, so.

2426
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 8: LIKE i, SAID i do not know if The colts

2427
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:46,240
Speaker 8: tried to pull him off either When richardson got hurt or,

2428
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 8: Now but we have this history of him saying Now

2429
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,560
Speaker 8: i'm staying In denver even Though i'm on the Practice.

2430
02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Well the only REASON i bring it up is because to,

2431
02:02:55,440 --> 02:03:00,680
Speaker 2: me it would be peculiar if he was available and

2432
02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 2: The colts did not explore, it only because that is

2433
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,560
Speaker 2: a quarterback that at one time the owner decided to

2434
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Take Matt ryan and put him down to the third

2435
02:03:09,880 --> 02:03:15,120
Speaker 2: string and essentially mandate That Sam ellinger become their, starter right.

2436
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:17,680
Speaker 8: Right and the other thing is LIKE i think a

2437
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 8: big part of Getting rivers is that they know he

2438
02:03:20,480 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 8: knows the. Offense, Well ellinger would know the offense last,

2439
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:26,880
Speaker 8: year you, know so that he would be he would

2440
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:28,560
Speaker 8: be one of those like he's the first name that

2441
02:03:28,640 --> 02:03:30,839

2470
02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:54,480
Speaker 8: sechin was talking about. It IT'S i think the thing

2471
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 8: that surprises me most is That Riley leonard was practicing.

2472
02:04:57,960 --> 02:05:01,080
Speaker 8: Today and typically in the fell if you practiced On,

2473

Speaker 8: wednesday you are okay to play On, sunday, now you.

2474
02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:07,800

2475
02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 8: she's like you kind of, SAID i think he said

2476
02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:10,440

2477
02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:10,640
Speaker 6: Go.

2478
02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:13,880
Speaker 8: Uh in terms of his D I i was maybe

2479
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:16,600
Speaker 8: expecting a little bit more That leonard was with a

2480
02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:18,160
Speaker 8: little more injured THAT.

2481
02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I THAT i.

2482
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:23,680
Speaker 8: Thought but he does just seem like if you're if

2483
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:25,520
Speaker 8: You're Philip, rivers you don't you don't come out of

2484
02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:28,800
Speaker 8: retirement to just hang around on the. Sideline you could

2485
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:30,560
Speaker 8: you could do that if you wanted to come hang

2486
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:32,280
Speaker 8: around on the. Sideline i'm Sure seen would let you do,

2487
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 8: that just sit randomly on some, week hang on LIKE

2488
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:36,720
Speaker 8: i think he probably comes out to Play.

2489
02:05:36,960 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Eddie it's not often that that we go from the

2490
02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 2: genie right into, conspiracies BUT i THINK i might have

2491
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:48,040
Speaker 2: let me joel ericson this query. Hypothesis you, ready?

2492
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:49,320
Speaker 8: Okay?

2493
02:05:49,680 --> 02:05:51,160
Speaker 1: Here he A grade one pcl.

2494
02:05:51,200 --> 02:05:53,240
Speaker 2: Spraing we talked To Ralph reef and he was, saying, like,

2495
02:05:53,280 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 2: look that is certainly an, injury there's no question about.

2496
02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:58,040
Speaker 2: It but it also is one that is more minor

2497
02:05:58,080 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 2: in comparison to. Others is it, Possible is it possible

2498
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:06,160
Speaker 2: that The colts watched that game Against jacksonville and while

2499
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:09,200
Speaker 2: they like and Respect Riley, leonard they thought to, themselves

2500
02:06:09,520 --> 02:06:14,800
Speaker 2: we are within range of the playoffs, here and this

2501
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 2: guy probably can't get us. There we need to basically

2502
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:22,000
Speaker 2: create some sort of justification why we would actually make

2503
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:24,760
Speaker 2: a phone call to a forty four year old Uncle

2504
02:06:24,840 --> 02:06:27,400
Speaker 2: rico coaching high school football In alabama and having pased

2505
02:06:27,440 --> 02:06:28,320
Speaker 2: three BUCkies on the way.

2506
02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:35,320
Speaker 8: HERE i THINK i think that that the FIRST i

2507
02:06:35,360 --> 02:06:37,840
Speaker 8: don't know, about you, know creating the, reason BUT i

2508
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:40,480
Speaker 8: do think that there's a. Possibility not that they watch

2509
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:42,600
Speaker 8: the tape of The jacksonville. GAME i think it has

2510
02:06:42,640 --> 02:06:46,360
Speaker 8: more to do, with you, KNOW i think they were

2511
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,480
Speaker 8: maybe a little bit surprised That leonard looked the way

2512
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:52,600
Speaker 8: he did On sunday and, thought you, know going forward

2513
02:06:52,640 --> 02:06:56,400
Speaker 8: to get different defenses with more Complex we're not sure.

2514
02:06:56,280 --> 02:07:03,680
Speaker 1: If did we Lose Joela eddie did the genie a little?

2515
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:03,840
Speaker 8: Bit?

2516
02:07:06,640 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Joel this situation at Quarterback joel a Ericson Indianapolis star

2517
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 2: is our. Guest he's on The Java. House peel and

2518
02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,760
Speaker 2: poor guest. Line remember to use the Coach jake twenty

2519
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:18,000
Speaker 2: five for twenty five percent off orders At Java house and,

2520
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,560
Speaker 2: use of, course my name or the fan either one

2521
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:24,520
Speaker 2: to get the bundle which Is Wrangler, Energy Liquid, Science Antarctic,

2522
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Freeze Liquid Science. Orange those are hydration drinks and The

2523
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:32,120
Speaker 2: Java House colombian. Coffee, joel what is the biggest storyline

2524
02:07:32,200 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 2: involving The colts that we are not talking about because

2525
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:36,640
Speaker 2: we're so focused on Quarterback.

2526
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:43,080
Speaker 8: Travarius ward going on ON ir with the. Concussion, Is,

2527
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:43,760
Speaker 8: yeah that's the.

2528
02:07:43,800 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Biggest so he is back ON ir.

2529
02:07:45,800 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 8: Today he, is and that means that he's out for

2530
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:50,480
Speaker 8: the rest of the season because there's only four weeks.

2531
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:52,840
Speaker 8: Left it's a minimum of four. Games SO i guess

2532
02:07:52,880 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 8: he could come back if they make the, playoffs but

2533
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:57,240
Speaker 8: he's out for the rest of the regular. Season three

2534
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:03,000
Speaker 8: concussions in one, season and on the second concussion him you,

2535
02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:05,280
Speaker 8: know he publicly said he wondered if he was going

2536
02:08:05,320 --> 02:08:09,040
Speaker 8: to play football again because he was still, dizzy you,

2537
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 8: know three or four weeks after having a. Concussion you,

2538
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:19,520
Speaker 8: know there's it's kind of obvious you have to, wonder you,

2539
02:08:19,560 --> 02:08:22,880
Speaker 8: know what's what's the decision making process is going to

2540
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:25,960
Speaker 8: be for him going forward in terms of, That does

2541
02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:28,360
Speaker 8: they start thinking about what it's the right thing to

2542
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 8: do to keep pursuing this again going? Forward you, know

2543
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 8: he said it himself with the last. One this is

2544
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:39,480
Speaker 8: the third one in a single, season and you, know

2545
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:41,800
Speaker 8: that's the guy that they they thought was here for

2546
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 8: three years based on the deal he. Sided SO i

2547
02:08:43,800 --> 02:08:49,360
Speaker 8: think THAT'S i think that's a significant storyline that, well

2548
02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:51,920
Speaker 8: we probably won't have verity until the, offseason but that's

2549
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:52,440
Speaker 8: a pretty big.

2550
02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:56,000
Speaker 2: Deal, well And JOEL i would, understand AS i think anybody.

2551
02:08:56,080 --> 02:09:00,080
Speaker 2: Would AND i don't know. THIS i, mean obviously this

2552
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:05,000
Speaker 2: is mere conjecture on my. Behalf if he, Decides Shavarius

2553
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 2: ward that because of the injuries that he's had three

2554
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 2: of them this, year and you were, RIGHT i mean

2555
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:13,280
Speaker 2: he basically, said, like, look this was the first time

2556
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:15,640
Speaker 2: that he really sat and thought about his long term

2557
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 2: future from a football. Standpoint if he decides that that

2558
02:09:18,600 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 2: means enough is, ENOUGH i don't think anybody would blame, him, Right.

2559
02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:26,120
Speaker 8: No, NO i MEAN i have a couple OF i

2560
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:29,560
Speaker 8: have a couple of friends who have been through very

2561
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 8: serious concussions in their aftermath and it's it's, Scary like

2562
02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:39,920
Speaker 8: some of that stuff is very, scary, Man and the

2563
02:09:39,960 --> 02:09:44,160
Speaker 8: symptoms come up in, random random. Places, YEAH i don't.

2564
02:09:44,160 --> 02:09:46,440
Speaker 8: THINK i don't think anyone would blame him at. All

2565
02:09:46,920 --> 02:09:48,680
Speaker 8: if he, said you know, What i've had a good.

2566
02:09:48,720 --> 02:09:51,680
Speaker 8: Career what happened to me this? Year is something THAT

2567
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:53,760
Speaker 8: i couldn't have foreseen AND i do not want to

2568
02:09:53,760 --> 02:09:54,080

Speaker 2: that was a downtown thing or didn't want to be.

2703
02:16:08,440 --> 02:16:11,560
Speaker 2: Around the reality is, THIS i think most people know

2704
02:16:11,680 --> 02:16:15,840
Speaker 2: this by, now but the company that originally owned this radio,

2705
02:16:15,840 --> 02:16:18,440
Speaker 2: Station Image, communications which is WHERE i worked also WITH.

2706
02:16:18,600 --> 02:16:23,880
Speaker 2: Wibc we were purchased By radio one what two and

2707
02:16:23,920 --> 02:16:26,240
Speaker 2: a half years ago or, so and they had an

2708
02:16:26,280 --> 02:16:30,760
Speaker 2: already existing building kind of across From channel, thirteen just

2709
02:16:30,920 --> 02:16:34,000
Speaker 2: on the north side of, downtown so basically still. Downtown

2710
02:16:34,280 --> 02:16:36,120
Speaker 2: they already had an existing, building but they had to

2711
02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:39,760
Speaker 2: accommodate that for the growth now of all of the

2712
02:16:39,840 --> 02:16:43,200
Speaker 2: radio stations. Together so they've been doing that And Nick
