As 129 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 5: the camera, I don't you know Carson Edwards had a 130 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 5: few of those, And honestly, I got some Jalen Hood 131 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: Schaffino vibes. 132 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: In Mackie watching what Keaton Wagler did. 133 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 5: But James, and not that you're die hard watching every 134 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 5: Illinois game, but I didn't know he had that in him. 135 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I know he's got a good freshman year. 136 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: Wasn't a very highly ranked recruit at all, but that 137 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: dude hit some shots from Attica Rensselear that was when 138 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 5: he jab stepped Jakari Harris for the four point play. 139 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 3: I had an audible reaction on the couch. I think 140 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: Maddy thought I was having a something or other going 141 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 3: on there. 142 00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: I was. 143 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: It got It was one of those days where you 144 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: were shocked when he missed. 145 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: After a while, yeah, he only missed four shots on 146 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: the whole afternoon. And it's funny you mentioned Carson Edwards, Kevin, 147 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: because I remember covering a Carson Edwards game my senior 148 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: year at Illinois and he came there and dropped forty 149 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: and I believe it was at the time the biggest 150 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: role performance in the next amount of years at State 151 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 2: Farm Arena. And he hit so many threes and he 152 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 2: dunked on everybody. It was he was like just a 153 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: walking microwave. I felt like for those Purdue teams back 154 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: then and seen Keaton yesterday or Saturday, I'm sorry, Keith Wogler, 155 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: I just thought to myself, Oh, that's an NBA player, 156 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: and that's why this game is even close. Because they 157 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: ran so many different coverages at him, it just didn't matter, 158 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: and he held serve and actually one uped the best player. 159 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: I believe one of the best players in college basketball 160 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: on Braden Smith because he wasn't any slouch either. I 161 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: know he went down with the ankle injury, but he 162 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: came back and he was cooking. So one of the 163 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: best games and probably in college basketball this year. 164 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: I will say for Todd Meyer out there. 165 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: As much as I want to talk trash, relax, brother, 166 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: I don't think that Keaton Walkers is going to score 167 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: forty six every time you need him to. At Mackie, 168 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: he was texting me Kevin and telling me that it's 169 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: doing gloom. It's all over for Purdue. It's like relax. 170 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: I mean, the guy had to have an all tim 171 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: grave performance, had barely beat you all, and it's January 172 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: not March. 173 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I largely am there. 174 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 5: But I will say this and tomorrow night I think 175 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: will be fascinating against nine o'clock. Brace yourself for that 176 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 5: Indiana hosting Purdue perdue having to guard the stretch big man. 177 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 5: Go to the end of the UCLA game, Oscar clubs 178 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 5: having to flyout on that kid for UCLA bangs home 179 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 5: with three. You look at Saturday and Illinois is one 180 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: of the few teams in college basketball, to be fair, 181 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 5: that has a personnel to do it. But you know, 182 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 5: you guys put four or five shooters out of the floor. 183 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: That's true every boy time, all of them hit a 184 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: shot at the end of that game. 185 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 5: And if there's one thing Indiana can do, they can 186 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 5: put shooters out there. And Tucker to Rees maybe's found 187 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 5: a little bit of something. So tomorrow night, I am very, 188 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 5: very fascinated by the let's just call oscar Cluff and 189 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 5: Sam alexis a wash. They're too you know, back to 190 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 5: the basket guys, Trey Coffman, Ren, Tucker to Rees. You know, 191 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 5: if you're gonna list a starting lineup, you consider those 192 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: guys the four men. 193 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: They play the game very differently. 194 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: Trey Kaufman, Ren, of course, is all around the basket 195 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 5: and is a great, great score. Tucker to Rees wants 196 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 5: to he can't guard a chair and wants to pull 197 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 5: you away from the basket. 198 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: What's the give and take there? And I think that's 199 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: kind of the. 200 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 5: General question for Purdue is you know, when you downsize, 201 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 5: you know you're downsizing to like a Jack Bentter. You know, 202 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 5: that's very different than last year. It was kind of 203 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 5: Cam Heidi, or it was Miles Colvin. You could get away. 204 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 5: I think a little bit with a six to seven guy, 205 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 5: you know, trying to chase potentially a shooter around the 206 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 5: perimeter a little bit more so, I think that's kind 207 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 5: of the question I have obviously Purdue offensively, you know, 208 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 5: it's kind of crazy that they lose a game with 209 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 5: three turnovers, because that's been you know, I can hear 210 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 5: Todd Meyer yelling right now, that's usually the issue when 211 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 5: you know Purdue has a lot, you know, not even three. 212 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 5: When they sniff you know, eight, nine, ten, then it 213 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 5: starts skill a little dicey there, you know, offensively, that 214 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 5: was an issue for them whatsoever? 215 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: And just where's Bradin Smith at ankle wise? 216 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 5: I mean that adrenaline must have been pumping, because once 217 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: he came back in the game, his shot making was unbelievable. 218 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: Well, who is the rest of the way. 219 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: I believe it's Stan van Gundy or Jeff Van Gundy 220 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: who always says that the basketball is healing powers, so 221 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: whenever anybody goes down they're writhing in pain. 222 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm so hurt. 223 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: And then you know, a few minutes go by, he 224 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: touched the basketball. Oh boy, I got a little more 225 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: juice left. 226 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: No one epitomized that more than Lance Stevenson. 227 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 2: Oh he was the funniest player and probably still is 228 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: the funnest player I've ever seen the NBA. 229 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: That ball was motor into a four year old. Yeah, 230 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 5: I mean that thing was just as soon as he 231 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 5: touched that thing. 232 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Oh Man didn't have a Lance Stevenson reference on my 233 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Bengo cart today, but I like it. I'm here for it. 234 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: One of the things Matt Painter said I was it 235 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: was watching the postgame press conference. He was a just 236 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: talking about Wagler and just amazing, but b he was 237 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: not happy with his team's rebounding performance in that basketball. 238 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: No, No, Illinois got some huge offensive boards. They're late 239 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: in that game that turned into some big shots, and 240 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 2: that also it tends to be or it seems to 241 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: be a little bit of an issue for the boiler Makers. 242 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: But again, we're talking about a team that's perennially one 243 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: of the best in the Big Ten and has been 244 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: as of late. It's just weird to know that the 245 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 2: race at the top of the Big Ten is so 246 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: tight because you look at who is in Nebraska still undefeated, 247 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: and then you have Illinois, and then you have Purdue 248 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: and you got Michigan, and so yeah, it seems like 249 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: in a year where we're looking at Purdue to make 250 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: a deep tournament run and get to the Final four, 251 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: they probably won't even win the Big Ten, which is 252 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: crazy to say, but it's loaded right now. 253 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 5: A little update traffic wise, this from Marcus Bailey WISH TV. 254 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: Downtown I seventy West to I sixty five North in 255 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 5: the north split is closed, several spins and cars stuck 256 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: in snow piles. And again we're talking about but one 257 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 5: of the more populous stretches of a highway in Indianapolis, 258 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: and it is closed. 259 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 3: So if you don't have to go out today, don't 260 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 3: trust me. Listen to us instead. 261 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 5: When we did our morning commutes, there were no cars 262 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 5: on the road whatsoever, and you could just drive in 263 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 5: the middle of the lane. I get that that's not 264 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 5: possible as the day moves along, so uh, race yourself 265 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 5: if you do have to head outside. 266 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: It gives me like movie vibes. 267 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm like Will Smith and I am 268 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: legend when I drive down the middle of the street, like, hey, 269 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: world's kind of you know, not awake yet. Let's get 270 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: this thing done. 271 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Andy S, Texan on the fan text line of two 272 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: three ninety ten seventy thumbs up to the cops who 273 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: are out directing traffic to side streets. About that love 274 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: that you you would talk that we That's what he said. 275 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: That's what Andy S said, and you had talked about 276 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: that little too. Just all the people that are out 277 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: doing stuff. Aaron, of course from Minnesota says he loves 278 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: blowing snow. 279 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: He's in his element. 280 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: He can't wait. 281 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: So Aaron from Minnesota is very fitting. 282 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: That's kind of how that works. The other thing I 283 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: want to talk about was the Pacers on Friday night, 284 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: because we've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and are 285 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: we starting to see over the last few games and 286 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe since the calendar flipped over, are we seeing more 287 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: from Jaris Walker? 288 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 7: Now? 289 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: I had a great game on Friday night? Is that 290 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: more of who he's becoming? Now? 291 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 4: Kevin? 292 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 5: I mean, he's definitely been much better here over the 293 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 5: last couple of weeks. I don't think there's any denying that. 294 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 5: I thought, in particular Friday night, he drove it much 295 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 5: better than he usually does, you know, considering his body type. 296 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 5: I mean to me, you know, that part of his 297 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 5: game should be there and needs to be there. So 298 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 5: you want to talk about a guy that's playing probably 299 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 5: the best basketball of his career at the right time. 300 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 5: I mean, we're now what ten days away from the 301 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 5: trade deadline. We'll see about Benanic Matherin this afternoon. The 302 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 5: Pacers have upgraded him to questionable. I believe the thumb 303 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 5: injury is sidelined him for the last eleven games. So 304 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 5: you know, I think we're on mather and watch. Tony 305 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 5: East gonna join us here at nine o'clock. I know 306 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: there's been some reports out there about Matherin to the Pelicans, 307 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 5: and you know, I think Tony's done a really good 308 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 5: job of the NBA world can be confusing, James. 309 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 3: You know this full well. 310 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 5: When it comes to trades, when it comes to contracts, 311 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 5: when it comes to all that, it's not as black 312 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: and white as the NFL. No, And I think there's 313 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 5: a bit of a misconception on what Matherin would net 314 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: the Pacers, and so you know, hopefully Tony can kind 315 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 5: of clear some of that up. 316 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: By the way, joely ericson going to join. 317 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 5: Us here in fifteen minutes, I can only imagine Joel's 318 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 5: probably Joel's wife probably has to love us with three 319 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 5: young boys in the house, and we're gonna pull Joel 320 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 5: away from that for fifteen minutes here on this snow day. 321 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: You sound like you might have some experience in that 322 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: in that realm.

He had girls 388 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: pairing show on the Indiana Sports Network from my HSAA 389 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: and some other things going on. What was it like 390 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: getting in and out yesterday? Was my question? 391 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: Awful? 392 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 6: The highways are down to one lane, the city streets 393 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 6: are untouched by plows for the most part, and then 394 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 6: just flooring the accelerator to get into the parking lot 395 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 6: was fun. Even dug out an employee. I did my 396 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 6: good deed for the day. Dug out an employee was 397 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 6: trying to leave. 398 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 5: So look at that you and Tony Katz uh huh Yeah, 399 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 5: somebody from WIBC, let's play this mark? 400 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 3: Will you cue this up? 401 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 5: You know, for those that were watching Pacers Thunder, I 402 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 5: was kind of flipping back and forth. Butler Marquette Friday night, 403 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 5: by the way, shout out to Finley Bizjack, excellent for 404 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 5: the Bulldogs and that one Butler has got a huge 405 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: game Wednesday at Saint John's. 406 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 3: Huge, huge for the resume. 407 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 5: But flipping back and forth in the Pacers get one 408 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 5: of their marquee wins certainly of the season. But no 409 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 5: Tyrese Halliburton in attendance for this one. And now you know, James, 410 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 5: I'm trying to think. When Rick Carlisle joined us initially 411 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 5: this offseason, I want to say he told us that 412 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 5: he didn't think Tyrese would travel a ton early in 413 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 5: the season, right, and Tyrese file accounts, has been to 414 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 5: every road game I believe until Friday night in Oklahoma City. 415 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 5: Obviously that is the site where he tore his achilles 416 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 5: And this is what game four of the five game 417 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 5: road trips. It's not like it's a one night road 418 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 5: trip where, you know whatever, tyres just stays back. I mean, 419 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 5: I assume he, you know, went back to Indy after 420 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 5: the Boston game. I guess that would have been last week. 421 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 4: Now. 422 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 5: Tyree's have made appearance on the Amazon Prime show here 423 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 5: a few months back. They have players on there as well. 424 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 5: So Taylor Rooks, who is the host of Amazon Prime's 425 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 5: NBA coverage. She shared this in regards to Tyrese Haliburton 426 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 5: not attending the Pacers game against the Thunder on Friday. 427 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 8: Obviously a humongous win for Indiana, but their superstar was 428 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 8: not in the building for this one. Now, this of course, 429 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 8: was the site of Tyrese Haliburtn's Game seven injury. He 430 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 8: has been traveling with the team for every game despite 431 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 8: being ruled out for the season until tonight. There obviously 432 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 8: were a lot of questions about why Tyrese was not 433 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 8: at the game, so I asked him if he could 434 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 8: offer us an explanation, and he said that he does 435 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 8: not think he's ready to go back there yet. He said, 436 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 8: it's something I still think about. For sure. He would 437 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 8: like the next time he goes back to be when 438 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 8: he can play and get lost in competing and playing 439 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 8: the game that he loves, rather than still at that 440 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 8: spot of the floor the whole game, I thought, was 441 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 8: of course, an incredibly honest and open answer about why 442 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 8: he just felt like mentally it wasn't the moment to return. 443 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: I get it, totally get it, don't you, James. 444 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably some PTSD there. To be honest with you, 445 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: I don't mean to say that to be dramatic, but 446 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 2: I mean to be real devastating injury, biggest game of 447 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: your life. And I can understand why he would want 448 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: to play on that court the next time he's back 449 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: on that court, versus being back there and inevitably having 450 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: to kind of relive some of those moments. 451 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 5: And I think one thing too about Tyres. I think 452 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 5: for the most part we know this in our market, 453 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 5: but like he is so jovial when you watch him, 454 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 5: he is so frankly just looks so happy even when 455 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 5: he's on the bench right now, Like he is the 456 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: first one up, he's high fiving guys. He's this is 457 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 5: not a Kawhi Leonard look to Tyree's. 458 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Kawhi has one of the most iconic laughs 459 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: in NBA history. 460 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 5: Mark, we could find that ud be excellent here on 461 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 5: this Monday morning. But yeah, I guess just another reminder 462 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: of like there's a lot going on in there. And 463 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 5: you know, I think back to Tyrese. I think it 464 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 5: was last year early in the season when he went 465 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 5: to New York. 466 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 3: Didn't he have a goose egg in that game? 467 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 5: Or maybe he had only like two points in that 468 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 5: game and he was was scoreless. Yeah, and then like 469 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 5: a couple weeks later he talked about how much of 470 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 5: a dark place he was in. Then this goes back 471 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 5: to the Olympic run and not being able to play 472 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 5: there and battle in the hamstring injuries and all of this, 473 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 5: and I believe he saw like the Pacers mental coach 474 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 5: and just a lot going on there that Frankly, you know, 475 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 5: when I look at him or observe him, I don't necessarily, 476 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 5: you know, think about that stuff. Probably reminder for all 477 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 5: of us, just in terms of our daily interactions with 478 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 5: humans there. But you know, clearly, and if you watch 479 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 5: the Starting five documentary on Netflix, I think you'll get, 480 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 5: you know, pretty good glimpse into you know, how much 481 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 5: he is going through, even though Will accounts rehabs going 482 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 5: well and you know he's able to do a lot 483 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 5: of stuff right now and this and that. 484 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 3: But I get it, it makes sense. But you know, 485 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 3: I guess I just. 486 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 5: When the road trip popped up, I did I didn't. 487 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 5: I didn't think to myself, huh, I wonder if Tyras 488 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 5: will travel. I mean, he's been every road game this year. 489 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 5: He's gone on those you know, one night road trips. 490 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 5: When if I were him, I'd probably say, hey, you know, 491 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 5: I might as well stay back here and just relax, 492 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 5: and i'd have to, you know, go to all these 493 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 5: road games. But he's done all that. But you know, 494 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 5: definitely Friday night a little bit too much for him. 495 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: My guess is he doesn't want to go back and 496 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: play on that floor or even be on the floor, 497 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: sit on the floor until he is ready to go 498 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: play basketball and win a basketball game. James mentally, I'm 499 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: sure that's where he's at. 500 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, for sure, I can agree with that 501 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 2: all right. 502 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: So again, if you're an Indiana Pacers fan, as most 503 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: of people listening to our program are every day, they 504 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: have moved their game up in Atlanta from this evening 505 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: until one thirty this afternoon, I believe, so one o'clock 506 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: airtime here on ninety three five and one on seven 507 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: to five of the Fan you'll have Jake Query from 508 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: noon to one, and then after the Eddie White post 509 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: game Show, the world's greatest post game show, you'll get 510 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: JMV from about four forty five ish to seven, and 511 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: they'll only have Inside IU Athletics after that. So that's 512 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: what the day looks like, and one of the things 513 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: we'll be talking about, I'm sure with Joel a Ericson 514 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: coming up in a moment. His teams continue to hire 515 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: head coaches. We got, we got. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally 516 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: found their guy and he feels like a Pittsburgh guy. 517 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: He is a Pittsburgh guy. 518 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, it was a boring higher in my opinion, 519 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: but very on brand for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm not 520 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: one of those people who are saying tharthy for those I'm. 521 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 4: Living under a rock. 522 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, I'm not saying that Mike McCarthy is someone 523 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: who can't win in Pittsburgh. But I feel like that's 524 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: kind of like a high floor, low ceiling, higher and 525 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: your guys back. 526 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 6: I don't know, that's an interesting situation that they got there. 527 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: I mean, he counts they got along Aaron Rodgers and 528 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 3: Mike mca they got all. 529 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: The Steelers said that they were open to having him 530 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: come back. 531 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: Oh lord, we'll see. 532 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: I get their options though, get bad so you can 533 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: get good. Yeah, Look at the Patriots. 534 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 3: They don't do that Pittsburgh. 535 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 6: I mean, the Michael McCarthy record that Amy Tomlin has, 536 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 6: that that's not going to carry over. So I feel 537 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 6: like Clinton slate, you might as well start anew with 538 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 6: a new quarterback, because what do you even if you 539 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 6: get Aaron Rodgers from one more year, it's probably one 540 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 6: more year and that's it. So you're gonna bean the 541 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 6: quarterback anyway. 542 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 543 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 2: And to a degree, I kind of view the Steelers 544 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: how the Pacers were before trading Demonta Semonus away and 545 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: trading for Tyreus Halliburden and then absolutely stinking for a 546 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: year to kind of reset themselves because the worst place 547 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: to be in sports is the middle. Yes, and that's 548 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: where they are every year. I can see it now, 549 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy first year on the job, ten and seven, 550 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers runs it back and they get blown out 551 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: in the wildcar round, because that's what they do every year. 552 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to Joli ericson about head coaching 553 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: changes and of course the future of the Indianapolis cults 554 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: as we continue in a moment. It's a cold one today. 555 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: Go a little bit slower, take a little bit more time. 556 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: Main roads are generally plowed. Side streets not so much. 557 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Usually two lane streets like Meridian. Really, at least early 558 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: this morning, we're one lane on either side, so keep 559 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: that in mind as well. 560 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 5: And again I sixty five seventy North Split Marcus Bailey 561 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 5: from WISH TV sharing that that is currently closed. 562 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 3: Seen some videos and pictures there. 563 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 5: It looks ugly, sideways, cars stuck, So I get that. 564 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 5: You know, there's whatever a decent amount of people working 565 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 5: here on this Monday morning, but brace yourself and if 566 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: you don't have to go in, don't more. 567 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: In a moment on ninety three five and one oh seven, 568 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: five of the fan is good and he covers the 569 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: colts over at the Indie Star.

We're going through like our list of cults reporters. So, Joel, 582 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: as it was conson native, so as it was conson 583 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: Native who is very familiar with snow. What are your 584 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 2: essentials in times like this? And are we overreacting? Do 585 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 2: you ever think to yourself, boy, these Indiana people have 586 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: no idea. 587 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 7: So so my dad reminds me with the cold thing 588 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 7: every time it gets cold down here, like it's it's 589 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 7: been cold last couple of days. But I've gotten a 590 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 7: text message from him like negative twenty four as the 591 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 7: actual tip because that's. 592 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 4: Where in my hometown. 593 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 7: That's what it was like the last two days. So 594 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 7: he reminds me of the cold more than anything. The 595 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 7: snow thing I learned there was a huge snowstorm in 596 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 7: Missouri when I started going to school there. They got 597 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 7: like fifteen inches in one night or one snowfall, And 598 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 7: that was what I learned that the rest of the 599 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 7: country doesn't do or understand snow the way that Wisconsin does. 600 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 7: And so from then on, I've always been like, you 601 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 7: know what, I got to give everybody else a pass. 602 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 4: This doesn't happen to them all the time. 603 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough? 604 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 4: All right? 605 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: You ready to talk some football, my man? 606 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go. 607 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: What should Colts fans be thinking as they watch the 608 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. 609 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 4: That's a great question. Well, if you want to. 610 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 7: Daniel Jones has an achilles tear, But if you want 611 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 7: to feel some optimism about Daniel Jones coming back and 612 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 7: leading the Colts, you should get it from Sam Donald. 613 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 7: The the book got Donald after last year's playoff loss 614 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 7: in Minnesota. Was it Minnesota moved on from him and 615 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 7: Minnesota probably regrets that. If I had to guess, uh 616 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 7: after after the way this season went. So I think 617 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 7: That's one of the things is that he's, you know, 618 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 7: he's the latest in the line of guys who failed 619 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 7: one place and then went somewhere else and looked much 620 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 7: much better. And the flip side though, is that Sam 621 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 7: Donald wasn't coming off of torn Achilles. So I think, 622 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 7: you know, most Colts fans probably aren't in a optimistic mood, 623 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 7: but if you wanted to. 624 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 4: That's That's one of the things that sticks out to me. 625 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: Joel, good morning, Thank you for the time. 626 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: As I know your house probably, like many others, a 627 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 5: bit chaotic. 628 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 4: Here. 629 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 5: On the snow Day Monday, Diana Russini reporting that Philip 630 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 5: Rivers has withdrawn from the Buffalo Bills head coaching sweepstakes. 631 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 5: Do you think we'll get Saint Michael's locker Room Wolf 632 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 5: of Wall Street video from Philip Rivers and his high 633 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 5: school kids over today? 634 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 4: I hope. So. 635 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: How great would that be? 636 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 4: That would be? That'd be amazing. Also, also does. 637 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 7: That mean that we get a can we get next 638 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 7: year a state title and then in five or six 639 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 7: years the Philip Rivers movie where he goes to play 640 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 7: after they lose the state semifinal, he goes to play 641 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 7: back in the NFL and for It's the NFL before 642 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 7: coming back. 643 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 4: And winning the title. 644 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 3: I like this. 645 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 4: There's a there's a very solid movie right there. 646 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 5: Sure, And honestly, Terry Pigula wouldn't even need an actor. 647 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 5: He could just act like himself in that movie. After 648 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 5: what we've seen over the last few weeks, the great 649 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 5: Joel A. Erickson from the Inanapolis Star with the sere Payalst. 650 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 5: Liquors hotline. Okay, let's go back a few weeks ago, 651 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 5: Chris Ballard, younger and faster on defense. 652 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: In my mind, Joel, I'm. 653 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 5: Looking at the clouds and I'm saying, Okay, they need 654 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 5: you'll find a starting defensive end opposite lot to, I 655 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 5: think they need a new starting linebacker. Is that where 656 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 5: I'm done defensively? Is there more? Is there different stuff? 657 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 5: What do you think about that rough sketch starting the 658 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 5: end starting linebacker for twenty twenty six? 659 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's the start. And then I think 660 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 7: that the other what I've been thinking is that both 661 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 7: of those positions you just keep hammering away at them 662 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 7: because in the secondary, you start talking through the spots. 663 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 7: Even if even if Tarvarius war decides to retire they've 664 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 7: got some guys. 665 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 4: You probably still need to add a corner in that. 666 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 7: In that scenario, if Nick Cross leaves, you have to 667 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 7: make a move with Joan Safety. But I don't know 668 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 7: that those are as dire In terms of the younger 669 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 7: and faster I think the younger and faster than me was. 670 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 7: I think you take everybody at defensive end who's not 671 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 7: JT Twomlola or Alasu Latsu and try to upgrade all 672 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 7: that and get a lot younger and faster, and then 673 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 7: and you know, the linebacker. I think you got to 674 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 7: add a couple of places there too, because well, they 675 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 7: had a bunch of really good special teams options behind 676 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 7: Jermaine Pratt, Nzi or Franklin. They were really thin on 677 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 7: terms of NFL depth, guys who could make a start 678 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 7: if somebody went down. 679 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 3: Is Nick Cross a cult in twenty twenty six. 680 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 7: That's a really tough question, And it's because it's the 681 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 7: reason it's tough is because I think. 682 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: It's the free agents Joel to debate. 683 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, the safety market is impossible to predict because I 684 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 7: feel like for a while now, for a little while there, 685 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 7: it was like, well, they're not going to pay any 686 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 7: Safeties any money, and that's not necessarily true anymore. 687 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 4: You know, cam Bin them obviously here on a big 688 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 4: money deal. 689 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 7: But the way the market seems to work now is 690 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 7: three or four safeties get paid top dollar and then 691 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 7: there's a huge gap between what those three are four 692 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 7: top guys get and the rest of the market, and 693 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 7: then those other guys end up getting less than they 694 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 7: want to. We went through a couple of Julian Blackman 695 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 7: free agencies where he really just didn't wasn't able to 696 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 7: cash in on good seasons. I think that determines the 697 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 7: whole thing with Nick Cross is what is the rest 698 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 7: of the NFL seem as Do they see him as 699 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 7: a big money up and coming strong safety or do 700 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 7: they see him as a solid starter, because there could 701 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 7: be a difference of like ten million dollars per year 702 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 7: between those those two evaluations. 703 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 2: Jo Along those same lines for personnel, we know that 704 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: Michael Piman Junior has a huge cap hit next year. 705 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: I think it's twenty nine million. If they cut him, 706 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: they'll save about twenty four million. I believe in cav 707 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 2: space with about five million dollars in dead money. So 708 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 2: in other words, do you think Pittman will be on 709 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: the team next year, thinking heal restructure or do you 710 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: think he'll go elsewhere? 711 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 7: I mean, I kind of always think that in my head. 712 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 7: Whenever a guy of Michael Pittman, with Michael Pittman's numbers 713 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 7: gets in this situation, I kind of expect them to 714 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 7: make the decision to force the team's hand and and 715 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 7: you know, let them back on the open market, you know, 716 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 7: if if they're gonna do it instead of restructuring. Now, 717 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 7: I think players obviously can can have different you know, 718 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 7: make this different decisions aside that they want different stuff. 719 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 7: But usually wasn't Cooper Cup in this situation a couple 720 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 7: of years ago, And and you know, ask for the 721 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 7: asked for the cut because you could Usually you get 722 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 7: end up making more on the open market than when 723 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 7: you're negotiating against just your team. So that's that's I mean, 724 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 7: if I if I was Michael Pittman, that's what. 725 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 4: I would do. 726 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 7: Because his his numbers, you know, well they haven't been 727 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 7: by his own mixture, haven't been up to his his 728 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 7: standard the last couple of years. His overall numbers still 729 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 7: put him in line for a big payday on the 730 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 7: open market. 731 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 2: So then along those same lines, Joel, this is why 732 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: I ask you that first question. If Pittman moves on, 733 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: then how big of a priority is it to get 734 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: another receiver in the draft or elsewhere. 735 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're you're good. I mean, yeah, he led the 736 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 7: teven receptions last year. But I do think though you 737 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 7: don't have to necessarily, I don't think you necessarily have 738 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 7: to emphasize it the same way you ever emphasize those 739 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 7: defensive positions. Because you give Tyler Ward another year in 740 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 7: the offense where he's he's he's not a rookie, he 741 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 7: knows the NFL. Now he's got a chance to maybe 742 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 7: expand what he does. Maybe you expand Josh Downs uh, 743 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 7: and then just expand Alec Pierce's role, and you're probably 744 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 7: in good. You You you need another receiver in that scenario. 745 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 7: But I don't think it's it becomes the most pressing need. 746 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 7: I think most the most pressing need is still defensive 747 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 7: end and and specifically pass rusher. 748 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 4: Uh. 749 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 7: Kind of no matter almost no matter what happens, unless 750 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 7: you know Daniel Jones decides. 751 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: To leave, Joel, one of the things me, I don't 752 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: know if you realize this pictures and catches. You look 753 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: outside today, just know that pictures and catchers report in 754 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: fifteen days. 755 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: Oh. 756 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 5: I definitely definitely realize that that's our holiday in the 757 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 5: ericson household. 758 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 2: Watch games during press conferences and still manages to ask 759 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 2: a conference question. 760 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 4: I definitely realize that the. 761 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 7: Hot stove has been very The weather has been cold, 762 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 7: but the stove has been hot in Major League Baseball 763 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 7: for the last couple of weeks, So I'm aware. 764 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 6: Did you like that the Brewers traded Freddy Peralta. 765 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 3: I So here's the thing. 766 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 7: I love Freddy Perolta just in terms of like a 767 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 7: top probably in my favorite three Brewers pictures in my lifetime. 768 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 7: But the flip side of that is this, this is 769 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 7: just I've kind of given up and resigned myself to 770 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 7: this is just what they have to do, and it's 771 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 7: probably gonna work out better. 772 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 4: Than I think it is. I think every year they 773 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 4: make one of these. 774 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 7: Deals and I'm like, I don't know how that works out, 775 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 7: and then one of the guys they end up get 776 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 7: they get ends up being better than I thought. So 777 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 7: I'm kind of at the point where I just have 778 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 7: to be like, you know what, that'll probably work out. 779 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 7: I don't love it, but you know, they're just not 780 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 7: going to be able to pay a pitcher at the 781 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 7: level he's gonna need next year. And I'm not even 782 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 7: sure if they should try, given their financial limitations and 783 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 7: what pitches? 784 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 4: What happened to the pictures after. 785 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 5: Thirty Jul I enjoyed meeting your fellow coach Kevin on Saturday. 786 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 5: It was a fun comvo.
