1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning everyone, Welcome into the Fan Morning Show

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: KBJB and Jeff or Is I like to say George Clooney,

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington because we got Alex Smith as

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Indianapolis Cults, So let's let's all

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: just upgrade ourselves a little bit today.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: What do you say, Well, I mean, I think I'm

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Denzel Washington by default, so I'll take him. You can

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: figure out who's George Clooney and who's Brad Pitt.

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Obviously Brad Pitts that are looking one. So that's KB.

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: But that was quite the press conference yesterday for Chris

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Mallard talking about quarterbacks and what the plan is going

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: to be, and I thought both of you wrote about

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: it and the fact that we still don't really truly

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: know what the long term plan for Anthony Richardson is

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: at the end of this day, right.

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: Just believe believe Kevin, like you believe in your fighting

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: Irish comes Sunday night.

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: Believe like the compliment for Alex Smith, if he was

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 3: to be listening at seven to one in the morning,

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: you probably take a little Let's let's get into that.

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Of the show, right, But see, I thought. I thought, Now,

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: to me, Denzel Washington is the best actor of the three,

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: and so I was thinking, like top shelf guys, but

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: not quite the league MVPs when it comes to like

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: acting and stuff like that. Well, I mean, if I

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: were compared to Washington, No, that's why I said, you

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: got the best end of the deal, because he's as

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: good as a game.

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: I'm about to say, yeah, you know.

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: You would rather be Michael B. Jordan.

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, he ain't living a bad life now.

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: NFL quarterbacks to those actors that would be Lamar Josh

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: and Patrick. Alex Smith would fall into that. But you

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 3: see the point, right, I do see the point.

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, who's not had a winning record since twenty

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty two, is being compared to a guy who, in

37
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: the glory years of his career, took his teams deep

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: into the playoffs each and every year.

39
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think deep might be a stretch. I want

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: to say, he might have won two playoff games in

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: his career, Alex Smith.

42
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: But he won consistently and he always had his team around.

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got into the playoffs, I'll give him that.

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think part of the reason why they

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: moved on is because they couldn't win the bigger games,

46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: and when they switched to Colin kaeper they went to

47
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. But anyways, I do kind of agree with

48
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: your assessment there, Jeff, that it was a bit of

49
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: a bit of a surprising comparison, which you can get

50
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: into throughout the show for sure, because I have thoughts

51
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: on this for why I get the comparison, why I

52
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: do not get the comparison.

53
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Uh, Kevin, what was your thought when you walked away

54
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: from that press conference yesterday with Chris Ballard?

55
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think anything out of the ordinary from Ballard.

56
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people were reaching out to

57
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: me like, oh my gosh, he's beyond defensive, and I

58
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: don't think they feel that way. Snarky as can be,

59
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: and blah blah blah. I'm like, is this the first

60
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: time you guys have consumed a Chris ballad press conference,

61
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: particularly one in the last few years. I mean, this

62
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: is largely how it goes. Colleague of VARs said right

63
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: before the start of the press conference, you know, this

64
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: is usually when Ballard is maybe his snippiest, if you will,

65
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: And I get that, you're what ten days away from

66
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: the start of the regular season. I understand that, you know,

67
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: probably the edge is a little bit more prevalent than

68
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: it is maybe in the off season or around draft time,

69
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. So you know, I honestly go

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: back to the combine and when I walked away from

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: our interview with him at that table and heard his

72
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: answer on why he felt like he was getting a

73
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: nine year and heard his answer on what he felt

74
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: like his greatest accomplishment was, I just thought to myself, Damn,

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: there are no words he can utter that is going

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: to make anybody feel warm and fuzzy, that's going to

77
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: look I don't even know what, like, Okay, hey, what's

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: your plan with Anthony richardson moving forward? I don't know

79
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: what answer he could have said yesterday that all of

80
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: a sudden would have had the fan base doing jumping jazz.

81
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: It would we're starting him? Actually yeah, like yeah, I

82
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: guess those would be the only words. But it's just

83
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: a man with a very hollow resume right now, and

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: it's an indictment on the resume when you hear his words.

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: But I don't know, I just walked in there with

86
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: non grand expectations and walked out of there with non

87
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 3: grand expectations. Like I don't even know how many times

88
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: I brought it up on the show yesterday that Ballet

89
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: was talking because I didn't have this like overwhelming conviction like,

90
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: oh man, he's gonna say something that's gonna be so convincing.

91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: And usually I enjoy hearing Chris Bauer talk. I actually

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: think he's one of the more candid gms. But I

93
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: don't know. I just think it's a sad state and

94
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: sad reality state of where the franchise is at right now.

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: And those are just kind of my overall thoughts.

96
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel like and we have talked

97
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: about this before, but I want to get both of

98
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: your comments on this. My fear for the Colts long

99
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: term is that Daniel Jones comes in and does a

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: pretty good job, and because of the talent around him,

101
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: they do okay, and maybe they get to a wild

102
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: card game, maybe they lose that wild card game, maybe

103
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: they win that wild card game. But now do you're

104
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: staring in the face of, Okay, what do we do now?

105
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: With Dan Jones? Long term? He was pretty good, he

106
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: was Okay, what do you do now? Do you give

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: him another short term to you with some incentives, is

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: that completely the end for Anthony Richardson? Like what what

109
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: do you do? Everybody keeps saying to me in my comments,

110
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: they should trade Anthony Richardson for what at this point

111
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: in time to who? Like where are they at quarterback? Overall?

112
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Right now? If Daniel Jones comes out and he's okay,

113
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: pretty good, then what?

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, that's obviously the big picture question here

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. I don't do you slap the

116
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: franchise tag on on my I don't know what you do.

117
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: But I thought, honestly, everything Ballard said yesterday could succinctly

118
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: be described and the quote of they believe if you win,

119
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: if you don't, they don't. I mean that to me

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: was the money quote. That was a very succinct way

121
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: to sum up where he's at right now. Again, no

122
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: words he was going to say yesterday is going to

123
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: have this fan base rejoicing, like you are going to

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: have to win, and even if you do win, there

125
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: will still remain some skeptics saying, whatever blip on the

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: radar one year, it's you know, Daniel Jones did this

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two with the Giants, etc.

128
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Etc.

129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: But right now on his resume, there's just nothing that

130
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: stirs up a ton of belief. And so a week

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: from Sunday he gets another opportunity to try and create

132
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: a different narrative around his tenures so far, because the

133
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: resume just offers nothing of substance with it.

134
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you even more directly, James, what's the

135
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: long term future at quarterback for the Indianapolis Cults. Are

136
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: they any closer now than they were a year ago

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: or two years ago or three years ago.

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: No, I would say they're probably up further away because

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: you once again are going out there with a veteran

140
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: on a one year contract, and you don't know if

141
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: number five, you're a number four pick from two years ago,

142
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: can play at a high level in the NFL, can

143
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: even start or be a starter in the NFL. So

144
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: they're further away than they were I think a few

145
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: years ago.

146
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just to also look verbally and semantically, I

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: understand they're in a tough spot right You're trying to

148
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: pump up and support the guy that you've picked as

149
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, and you don't want to diminish Anthony

150
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: Richardson at the same time. But sometimes the actions speak

151
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: louder than words, because we all know that if Daniel

152
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: Jones is pretty good, as I've been saying, does that

153
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: put Anthony Richardson even further behind because he's not getting

154
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: any better. Just sitting there taking practice squad reps is

155
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: going up against the number one d of the Colts

156
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: all the time and never really worry about working on

157
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: your particular offense. It's always running somebody else's team as

158
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: a scout team and getting very limited reps in the back.

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand how any of this contributes to the

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: development of a guy who needs to go out and

161
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: play football, because that's the one thing he hasn't done,

162
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: is play enough football at this point in time.

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: James, Yeah, I got a kick out of this tweet

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: from Jake Query yesterday on Korean Company on our Airways

165
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: from twelve to three, and he said Ballart credits Richardson

166
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: saying he's quote come miles, which means miles ago, they

167
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: handed the keys to a guy who miles later can't

168
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: win the job.

169
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: And I was thinking, well, that's one way to put

170
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: it. It might be mean to put it in a nessa

171
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: Carlton Lear It might be miles like.

172
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: Knowing Jake Query there, but I thought that was a

173
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: very simple way to kind of put it. Where you're saying,

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: even all this progress, but how much further does he

175
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: have to go? And that is the question we can't

176
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: get a clear answer on.

177
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: It's it's going to be crazy. But here they are.

178
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: And the hope is that they have built a running

179
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: game around Jonathan Taylor, that offensive line, that they have

180
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: a really solid group of receivers high, you know, better

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 1: than average as a group I would say in the

182
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: National Football League. They're hoping that they've really improved the

183
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: defense that gave up a ton of yards last year

184
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: and gave up points and bunches and key stretches down

185
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: and near the end of the season. They're hoping all

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: of that stuff is good enough to be piloted by

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: a guy who just won't make a ton of mistakes.

188
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: And Kevin I think this group would be thrilled with

189
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: fifteen passing touchdowns and five interceptions and five or six

190
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns too, like he had in his Banner year

191
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two. That's where the culture at

192
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: they'd be thrilled with that year, would they not?

193
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: I love this song, thank you, Mark Bacon for this

194
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: thank you.

195
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: But that's Carlton's never for that cam that reminds the

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: White Chicks.

197
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Mark, I can never think of that

198
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: song without thinking of that movie.

199
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably they would probably sign up with. I

200
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe a little bit more than fIF you know,

201
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: if we're going touchdown interception. That's the best he's ever been,

202
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz is what twenty seven and seven the infamous

203
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: ratio there from the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, this

204
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: is the reality where the culture at right now. You know,

205
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: I think you talk to people that you know are

206
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: just general observation at Grand Park, a lot of people

207
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: feel like that's the worst attendance that's been in seven years.

208
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Up in Westfield, preseason schedule just got over chatter about

209
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: being the worst TV ratings we've seen in over a decade.

210
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: It's the reality of where you're at with a franchise.

211
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: And I just thought, largely we can psycho analyze Ballard,

212
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: you know, to the grave, but to me that just

213
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: largely sounded like how he has been and as the

214
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: years have built along the resume doesn't allow for anything

215
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 3: of substance, and the words then just sound hollow. And

216
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: you know, it was interesting. I actually listened to the

217
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: Miami GM Chris career speak yesterday at before Ballard, you know,

218
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: knowing the culture playing the Dolphins a week one. He

219
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: has a very similar resume to Ballard, one year longer

220
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: a little bit, I think a one more playoff appearance,

221
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: but it had a similar tone. So I think it's

222
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can label the week one

223
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: game of the organizations that are accepting mediocre right now,

224
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: facing off at one o'clock Sunday inside of Lucashall Stadium.

225
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: Welcome to CBS.

226
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now. All right, we got

227
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot to do today. We'll tell you all about it.

228
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a minute. It's Thursday. The Colts

229
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: have there now second fifty three man roster. We'll get

230
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: into that and talk about a new linebacker that joined

231
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: the team yesterday. It's all coming your way next. It's

232
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five.

233
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 4: The fans, the morning checkdout on ninety three five and

234
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: one oh seven five the fan.

235
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome into a Thursday is. The Indianapolis

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: Colts now are just nine days away from their season

237
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: opening game against the Miami Dolphins, and yesterday Chris Ballard

238
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: met with the media for a while, talking mostly as

239
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: you guys had predicted about the quarterback situation. Your number

240
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: one takeaway yesterday Kevin Bowen.

241
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 3: Colin Kaepernick got a name drop. Wow, that was a

242
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: few years ago. Then all of a sudden that might

243
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: be leading off Sports Center. I don't know. I wish

244
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: I had something grand for you. I just think through

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: out of the situation is it's a man with a

246
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: little substance to you know, stand on if you will,

247
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: and until results change on the field, the wards are hollow.

248
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about that. We'll be talking about it

249
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: and getting your reactions all day long and the fan

250
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: text line two three, nine, ten seventy. Also yesterday, practice

251
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: squad announced some of the more notable names Ulysses Bentley,

252
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Chris Leamons and coleman Owen James Boyd coming back, So

253
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: don't be surprised to see those guys. I still think

254
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Lamon's is going to see a little bit of action

255
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: this year.

256
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, with depending on how that cornerback room shapes

257
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: out and how healthy certain guys are. And I believe

258
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: we saw a couple of waiver claims to Kevin. We

259
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: saw Sam Womack get claimed by the Titan, Jelanny Woods

260
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: got claimed by the Jets, and I could be missing

261
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: somebody else, but those are.

262
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: The two do in week one. Yeah, Juju brns to

263
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: the Dolphins revenge game. Juju brins from all the game

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: Howard versus Juju Brince? Who can revenge harder? So did

265
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: they just square up at you know, midfield and say,

266
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: visit the game? All right?

267
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: But that too the networks will show as they're saying, hey,

268
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow it'll be the Cults and the Dolphins.

269
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: No chance, I think it'll be Tua and Daniel Jones

270
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: in the graphic there.

271
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: The national audience to be who are these guys? I

272
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't mention it. I guess the newsiest Ballard item

273
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: was him saying that we are not trading him in

274
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: regards to Anthony and richardson the trade deadlines. What about

275
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: two months from right now? It's usually kind of late October,

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: So that's probably the newsiest item off of that. So

277
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: you know, if you take him out his word and

278
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: I largely don't see a ton of positives and trading

279
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: him in the next two months, So that seems to

280
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: make sense to me, and I'm not stunned by that.

281
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: I've never gotten the impression that they were going to

282
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: be quick with the outright trade of Anthony Richardson. So

283
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: we'll see how that plays out.

284
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: So if a GM got drunk and said I'll offer

285
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: you a second round pick Anthony Richardson, you're saying nope,

286
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: not trading.

287
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 3: And if it knocked on your door and said i'll

288
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: serenad you Mark, yeah, I mean, yeah, you're gonna say

289
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: yes to probably some things, but I don't believe there

290
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: is very active shopping and or listening for that.

291
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: There was one acquisition off waivers for the Colts, the

292
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: linebacker Chad Mumma from Jacksonville. What the kind of plans

293
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: might they have for him? James?

294
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: For what I understand, he was mainly like a special teamer,

295
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: so perhaps that is going to be his role. I

296
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: can't picture him coming in and being a starter or

297
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: something like that, but taking a flyer on a guy

298
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: who can add to your other unit of the game,

299
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: which probably doesn't get talked about enough when.

300
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: It comes to offense, defense, and special teams all right.

301
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: So the Colts seem to be set for their first

302
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: full week of practice next week, getting ready for a

303
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: regular season game with this fifty three man roster, and

304
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: they will open the season, of course, against the Miami Dolphins.

305
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: You'll hear all the games right here's always on ninety

306
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: three five and one O seven to five of the

307
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: famis putting all the shoulder programming that the Colts provide

308
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: each afternoon and certainly on Friday nights and Monday nights.

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: So stay tuned here to the latest in Colts coverage. Meanwhile,

310
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: the Indian A fever off until Friday night. They'll be

311
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. They'll take on the Los Angeles Sparks.

312
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: They are currently in the sixth spot in the WNBA

313
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: and looking to improve upon that as they head down

314
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: the stretch. And still no real word on Caitlin Clark.

315
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: But we did learn over the last thirty six hours

316
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: or so KB that Stephanie White would like to see

317
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: five full practices from Caitlin Clark before they think about

318
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: putting her back into a basketball game.

319
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think today might be one of those practices.

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: I fingers crossed.

321
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: I think yesterday was an off day. Yeah, I should

322
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: say I should probably preface by saying potentially one of them.

323
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: They are going to practice today. We'll see if Kaitlyn

324
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: Clark participates in. It's probably the best way to put it.

325
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: But yes, tomorrow night, La. They've been a little up

326
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: and down here lately. They've had the Fever's number this season.

327
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: It slay favorite. So again, Tuesday was a huge win.

328
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: And now tomorrow against the Sparks, Sunday against the Valkyries

329
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: as vital of games as well. So big, big weekend

331
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: the year.

332
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: All right. In Major League Baseball last night, pirates over

Speaker 1: What's the night?

348
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: What else you gotta do? You want more?

349
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

350
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: You want to? Man, you're a massachist. I was gonna say,

351
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: what is going on this morning? Yeah? We deserve it? Well,

352
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,760

00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: Yep?

354
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: Exactly. I actually think it's good. You know, I got

355
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: you know, I can't be worried about a baseball team

356
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: in September.

357
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it was. It was fun while it lasted.

358
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Thank you well, said Rick. Yeah, I gotta be worried

359
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: about college football team on Sunday. By the way, speaking

360
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: of Rick Carl, did we see TJ McConnell tow the

361
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: rubber last night?

362
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: Decent? First pitch? Decent?

363
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: If there was a left hand or batter that thing,

364
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: that guy would have been straight to methodist.

365
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: He got it there and it was within the vicinity.

366
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: It sounds like how I would describe one of my kids,

367
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, in the back of well, you know he's

368
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 3: not on effort there.

369
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: But he's not an actual pitcher. I'm I'm more worried

370
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: that he's like gonna throw the ball in the dirt

371
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: six feet in front of the plate or air mail

372
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: at ten feet over the catch.

373
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 3: So on a scale of one, it's ten, Kevin Bough

374
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: and give us your TJ. McConnell's I think there are

375
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: parameters of the first pitch. First off, beyond commendable. TJ

376
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: McConnell actually told the rubber. So many people don't go

377
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: back to the actual rubber. You know, I'm gonna go

378
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: off from the front of the mound. McConnell went all

379
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 3: the way to the rubber. Okay, great work. Yes you

380
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: are right, he did not skip it. So commendable. But man, boy,

381
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: that thing, if that was Griffy, if that was bonds,

382
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: oh boy, that left handed batter. You need one of

383
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: those bonds. L both things to try and protect you.

384
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: You need today. I want you criticism for a guy.

385
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: I need to see your first pitch. My favorite part

386
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 2: about the TJ. McConnell experience. And by the way, and

387
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: talking to some people that were there last night, like unbelievable.

388
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 2: He signed autographs from five thirty six fifteen. The line

389
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: is still throngs of people goes and throws the first pitch.

390
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: He's not supposed to go back and sign autographs, goes

391
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: back signs autographs for like another hour.

392
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: Just love that about TJ McConnell. That was a blue

393
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: esque line. Yeah, that line was absurd. And told you

394
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: Scott Acknell joining today. Thirty boots on the ground at

395
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: Victory Field. Last night, I believe TJ McConnell said that

396
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: he organized a setup inside of the Saint Vincent Center

397
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: to practice for the first pitch, stepping off exactly how

398
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: far the mound is had one of the pacers assistants

399
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: help him out there? Anything more TJ. McConnell than that, No, I'm.

400
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm petitioning the Indians right now, James. I know you

401
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: can joined me here. We need Kevin Bowen throw out

402
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: a first pitch for the Indians at this point in time.

403
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: Now, Yes, this man is very critical. I gotta see.

404
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: I think I have I think you'll be able to

405
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: pull it on.

406
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: We the only market where the most popular athletes in

407
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: town are the punter and the backup point guard. Well,

408
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: I mean is hurt the X punter the former. We're

409
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: going through a transitional period here. I mean that line

410
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: Mark last night, you weren't kidding those Bluey Times ten. Well, yeah,

411
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 3: adult males were interested. Forget these kids. I'm getting in line.

412
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: I want.

413
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: To clip that for yourself. Great McConnell last night.

414
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: All right, Giants did beat the Cubs last night twelve

415
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: to three. And the Cubs are going the wrong way

416
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: these these days.

417
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: Too, lost the first two games of the series. Still

418
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 5: only six and a half back of Milwaukee. But yeah,

419
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 5: I can't. You can't get the brooms out today. Let's

420
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 5: get a win, all right.

421
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: The Royals also beat the White Sox twelve to yesterday.

422
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: I did want to throw in one thing. I don't

423
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw this h up in Fort Wayne,

424
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,000

425
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: played what's believed to be the first ever high school

426
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: volleyball match outdoors at the football Stadium.

430
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,719

00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: so Indiana. I love how much this state loves high

432
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,600

Speaker 3: I'd love to know who created this idea, because I

434
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: would love to give them some credit. That was awesome

Speaker 3: to be a great night for a little football action

441
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 3: here in the city. You Indian Marion, which I know

442

468
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: away from number one overall though, but good and that's

469
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: gone the days when you said Indiana football is having

470
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: a quarterback O top fifteen.

471
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: That is fair, that is fair. But this I feel

472
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: this is Curtis Rourke a razor. Let's just see if

473
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: he can fill those shoes for now, challes.

474
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: Patrick and the YouTube chat. He was at the volleyball

475
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: match last night. Awesome atmosphere had the game also playing

476
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: on the big screen of the football field. Massive crowd.

477
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: Oh man, that sounds lovely. That sounds awesome.

478
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: All right. Later on today Scott Agnes joins us at

479
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: ay thirty Tom Dienert at nine o'clock, we'll tell you

480
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: more about that and talk about the Colts and that

481
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: press conference with Chris Ballard yesterday. In a moment as

482
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: we continue ninety three five and one o seven five

483
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: the fans, good morning, as we are now creeping up

484
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: on game number one of the National Football League for

485
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts in the year of twenty twenty five.

486
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: They'll be taking on the Miami Dolphins and final I

487
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: don't know. I never want to say final fifty three

488
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: man roster, but after acquisitions and waivers and practice squad placements,

489
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: it feels like this is the group you have right now.

490
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: And yesterday, Chris Balladers he does every year after that

491
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: takes place met with the media and as you might

492
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: have guessed, almost all the conversation Kevin Bahm was about

493
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. Why Daniel Jones as a starter? Does

494
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: this mean you've given up on Anthony Richardson? What's the plan?

495
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: How's this look moving forward? What about this? What about that?

496
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: And so I don't know that anything. I don't know

497
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: that the conversation we had before yesterday was advanced any

498
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: further than it was when the day started, was it.

499
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably a good way to put it. And

500
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: I think we've just reached a point in time where,

501
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: you know, again, on field answers are going to have

502
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: to happen for anybody's real thoughts to change wholeheartedly about

503
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 3: whether the Coultar quarterback wise or you know, certainly how

504
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: they feel about Chris Ballard, things like that. And again,

505
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: maybe it's going to take more than just one year

506
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 3: of results for that to happen. That remains to be seen.

507
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I I wanted to make sure that Like

508
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: when we discussed the ballot press conference on yesterday's show,

509
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: I didn't think we dove real deep into it. I

510
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: maybe I had a general apathy towards it, but I

511
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: just I wasn't expecting much from him, And I think

512
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: when you heard the answers, it's you you get why

513
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting much. And again, I'm gonna go back

514
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 3: to the combine here in two specific questions, why are

515
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: you getting the ninth year? Okay? His answer to that

516
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: was more or less Jim Mersey agreed to be patient

517
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: with me, Like we're gonna reset in twenty twenty three,

518
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna draft Richardson, We're gonna be told you ers

519
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: said fix this right. But like agreeing to patients, like

520
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: agreeing to a hard reset up, Hey, first year head coach,

521
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 3: you know, biggest quarterback project whatever in the history of

522
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: the NFL boom. That's gonna mean you're gonna have a

523
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: longer leash Like that was said. It wasn't something on

524
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: the resume for the reason why he was getting a

525
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: ninth year. And then again when you ask him, you know,

526
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: what do you feel like your greatest accomplishment here is

527
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: heading into the ninth year. You know you got to

528
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: go back to twenty eighteen, You got to go back

529
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: to twenty twenty of a playoff win or get into

530
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: the playoffs in twenty twenty. Well, you know, this is

531
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and in the NFL world, it's a

532
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 3: long long time. So maybe we're just prisoners of the

533
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: moment and reacting to yesterday. But I think we have

534
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: generally seen this tone from Ballard, definitely throughout twenty twenty five,

535
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: and I would argue even dating back to the last

536
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: couple of press conferences twenty twenty four or twenty twenty three.

537
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 3: It's just kind of the reality of where things are

538
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: at with his state in the franchise and the franchise

539
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 3: as a whole.

540
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: What did you think when he said, you know, guys,

541
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: there are fifty one other players on the roster.

542
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: My initial thought was thinking, number one, I understand where

543
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: you're coming from, because if I was in his shoes,

544
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: I'd be thinking the same thing. But then number two,

545
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: as I wrote my piece for the Athletic, the other

546
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: fifty one don't matter as much as those two.

547
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 3: It's just as simple as that. So I did get

548
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 3: a kick out of that.

549
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: And the one thing I will say, because I hear

550
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: fans often tell me this on social media and occasionally

551
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: in real life, I run into him like, Man, you're

552
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: like you're so hard on Ballad or man, he really

553
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: pushed back on you or Kevin or gave Stephen hold

554
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: of the business, And why is she so defensive? Look, man,

555
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: when you're sitting up there for thirty minutes taking a

556
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: beating from the local media, Personally, I don't care if

557
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: you throw a few jabs back. I mean, that's the

558
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: nature of the business. And I feel like if you

559
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: can't take some of that as someone who dishes it

560
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: and has dished it, then why are you in that field?

561
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: So I didn't think that he was super defensive or

562
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: he sat up there and gave us, you know, a

563
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: ton of nothing burgers. I think that, as Kevin said,

564
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: and as you said, Jeff, like a position now where

565
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: it's a cyclical or is that the right word cyclical?

566
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: Whatever the word is conversation because the same things can

567
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: happening year after year and you're the same person year

568
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: after year. So until something changes, what else can I

569
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: ask you? You know, what else can really be broached

570
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: of you when that is the same thing.

571
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the fifty one players comment, I was

572
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: struck by it a bit, and that was if my

573
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: math is correct. And listening back to the press conference,

574
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: I want to say I was like minute thirteen or fourteen, Yeah,

575
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: about thirteen minutes in and it you know, he was

576
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: ready to move on to a different topic. And you

577
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: go back to the opening press conference, it's not about

578
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: one player in regards to quarterback. Good reference Kevin and

579
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: if you watch his ten year play out, I actually

580
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: think this might have been not this year's combine, but

581
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: the combine prior. You know, when he sat down with us,

582
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: you know, I asked him, okay, where, why don't you

583
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 3: feel like your tenure has led to the results that

584
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: you would like? And I thought, in a very candid

585
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: and again accurate manner, he described the constant revolving door

586
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 3: at quarterback. And now you know here he is wanting

587
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: to move on from that quarterback question. And again, that

588
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: was eighteen months ago he said that answer. And here

589
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: you are eighteen months later, and you can make the

590
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: argument the quarterback questions have only continued to grow really

591
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: in that timeframe, and go back to Quentin Nelson expressing

592
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: some frustration in his you know, arrival lines up just

593
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: one year after Ballad's arrival. So yeah, that made me.

594
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: I thought it was a very interesting comment. I get

595
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: why he probably wanted to move on to that point,

596
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: but the fluctuation of about the quarterback position in his

597
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: tenure is pretty wild. So yeah, that was a line

598
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 3: that definitely struck with me.

599
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: It's fan Morning show KBJ Beach, Mark Dyden over there

600
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: on the ones and twos playing Vanessa Carlton all over

601
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: the place, today, which is fine with me. Two three, nine,

602
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: ten seventy. The fan text line Justin speaks for a

603
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: lot of folks. I mean all this talk and as

604
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: you said, cyclical, it just goes round and round and round.

605
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: And we talked about maybe diminished attendance up at Graham Park.

606
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: We've talked about just a lack of enthusiasm, the apathy

607
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: for a lot of fans. And I think Justin sums

608
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: it up when he says, I'm just ready for the

609
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: daughters to put their stamp on the team and push

610
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the button for a total reset, find your quarterback of

611
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: the future, rebuild the team. You have a left tackle

612
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: to start with, a total reset. I can get behind that.

613
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: Find yourself as a quarterback. You have a left tackle

614
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: for the future. Clean house. Look, it's if it was

615
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: just as easy as going out and finding a quarterback.

616
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Because even when you had that number one overall pick.

617
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Look the Panthers a couple of years ago, same drafty.

618
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: They're not quite sure. They're they're optimistic about Bryce Young

619
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: after the way he finished last year. Well, he had

620
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: a really nice seven game finish last year where I

621
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: think he put up a lot of top shelf numbers

622
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: and came close within the thirty seconds to beat in

623
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: both Philadelphia and Kansas City. But the point is is,

624
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: you just don't go find quarterbacks even when you have

625
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. It's kind of a fifty

626
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: to fifty proposition.

627
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Yes, But I guess my pushback there, Jeff, would be

628
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: when you get a pick of that magnitude in the

629
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: top five and you choose a quarterback and you miss,

630
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: most people don't get a chance to choose a quarterback again.

631
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: And so that's the stakes of the game you're playing.

632
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: So I understand it's hard and it's not exact science,

633
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: and even looking back at certain players that were taking

634
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: over the years, you're probably more likely, as you referenced, Jeff,

635
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: to miss on that pick than to hit and find

636
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, a all time great quarterback or really just

637
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: a quarterback that will be very good for your franchise.

638
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: I can't say all time great because that's even rarer,

639
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean that's what you signed up for though.

640
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: Yep, that's how it goes. But my point is, Kevin,

641
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who kind of feel

642
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: that way, like, let's just move on to what's next,

643
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: because this feels like doing the same thing again year

644
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: after year after year.

645
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Correct, it almost seems like going through the motions.

646
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: It's the final year of whatever Tom Allen and Bloomington.

647
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: It's trying to think of a longer ten ured coach

648
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: because Nate Bjorkrn isn't very apples to apples with the Pacers.

649
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: But you know that sort of Hey, we feel like

650
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: we're just got to get to the finish line and

651
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 3: see what happens here. And that's an awful feeling for

652
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: a fan base. You know, we have Pete Sampson on yesterday,

653
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: and I promise you I'm not trying to make this

654
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: about my fandom, but you know, he referenced her. I

655
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: asked him about a story he wrote about how Marcus

656
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: Freeman has turned Notre Dame into a durable national title contender.

657
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: I think ultimately as a fan, pretty basketball fans are

658
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: feeling it right now. Help potentially Indiana football fans are

659
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: about to really feel it for the next handful of years.

660
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: To me, what you want more than anything is for

661
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: the team that you love to have that five to

662
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: seven years Sigel, where you know annually we've got a chance.

663
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: We are in position right now to be a team

664
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: that's one of the last ones standing. And again you're

665
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: not gonna do it every single year, but the thought is,

666
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: sooner or later, the more quality darts you get to

667
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: throw out the dart board, you're gonna hit bullseye. And obviously,

668
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: if you want to make it a predue basketball reference,

669
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: they got all the way to Monday Night a couple

670
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: of years ago, and they've had great Big Ten runs

671
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: and other great now you know, NCAA Tournament runs, and

672
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: certainly for Notre Dame last year they were able to

673
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: get to the final game, Like that is what you want,

674
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 3: and right now it seems like you're so far away

675
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: from creating that window. You know, if you want to

676
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: look at the Manning era, I think anybody you ask

677
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: in the Manning era, they won't say that six team,

678
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl team was their best team. They'll point

679
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: to five, they'll point to O seven, they might point

680
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: to nine, and yet it was that team that got

681
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: it done. But yet, when you give yourself a five, six,

682
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 3: seven year window, you're able to break through, and I

683
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: think ultimately to get there, you've got to find the

684
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: answer at the most important position in sports.

685
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: They have a very high care factor.

686
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: I was just about the readiness and the togetherness mentioned

687
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: Nate York.

688
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: I feel it.

689
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: No idea is he back with Toronto? For some reason,

690
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: Portland popped into my.

691
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Head, also inspired by Graham from Avon. He and Mark

692
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: were on exactly the same page there h.

693
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: I like that, So I do want to. I know

694
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: Mark pulled a bunch of audio last night and I

695
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: felt bad. I was sending some sex messages. He exd

696
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: for audio and I was like, here, you're getting audio

697
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: by the and I believe you have ever feel bad?

698
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: The question?

699
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: Uh nah, not really, that's the job, right, But I

700
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: do think Kevin had the question and correct me if

701
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Kevin, you pose it as do you think

702
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: you all did the right homework on Anthony Richardson? And

703
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: I thought Ballard's response was interesting and we can stly

704
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: get into that. But I do want to, you know,

705
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: play it here markets You've got a queued up to

706
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: sort of react to it live on the air.

707
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, we knew, we knew he was, We knew he

708
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 7: was gonna take time.

709
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: I think everybody knew.

710
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we knew, and I'm we knew he

711
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 7: was gonna be a little bit of a roller coaster.

712
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 8: Absolutely.

713
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, just his history in college and

714
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 7: so that's just part of the growth. Now, you gotta

715
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 7: sometimes you got to take a swing. We took a swing,

716
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 7: and look, I'm not ready to say that we missed

717
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 7: because I don't think we have yet. I think Anthony

718
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 7: has a bright future.

719
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 3: I believe that.

720
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: Is it with the cults?

721
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: That's the question, Kevin.

722
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: Do you.

723
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: See where he's going or what he was trying to do,

724
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: because in my mind I understand that he personally might

725
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 2: believe that, but from an organizational standpoint, I just don't

726
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 2: know again where you go from here to give him

727
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be that guy?

728
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 6: Right?

729
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know he described it later in the press conference,

730
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: and I'll paraphrase, but you know he said some of

731
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 3: the effect James of like there's one out there that

732
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: it's worked. Yeah, in reference to Alex Smith.

733
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the why should we believe this possible

734
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: question that I through at him just because.

735
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: And like that little snippet to me, it just describes

736
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: trying to put it into betting terms, Just how long

737
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: of a parlay that you're trying to hit here? I

738
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 3: mean in some way to put it, you know, in

739
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: some way, shape or form you're trying to hit whatever. Hey,

740
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bet on all four eleven seeds to win

741
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: their first round game in the NCAA tournament. Like That's

742
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: what it feels like with the Richardson parlay. I mean,

743
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: there are so many branches to the Richardson at this

744
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: point failure two and a half years into it. I'd

745
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: say so much of the root of it is in misevaluation,

746
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 3: is whatever, not doing enough homework in assessing him at Florida.

747
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: And but by that, do you mean off the field

748
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: as well? Yes, yes, I mean both on and off.

749
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: Okay.

750
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: And then then to clarify there, I'm not saying Anthony's

751
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: some bad person.

752
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 3: He gets into a ton of trouble.

753
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: Is just the leadership qualities, their preparedness for games, that

754
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: sort of thing.

755
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think that's where so much of

756
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 3: it lies. And on the field as well. And you know,

757
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: if you want to walk away from anything tangibly from

758
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: what Ballot said yesterday, a couple of things. One he

759
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 3: says we're not trading him, Okay, so there's your news.

760
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: Item Two, it doesn't sound like James. And again these

761
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 3: are public words, but the Colts have also had public

762
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: words in the other direction about Richardson in the last

763
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: couple of years. It doesn't sound like the issues right

764
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: now are Monday through Saturday work ethic, quarterback standard anything

765
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: like that. And again we have heard them say that before,

766
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: so I could where people quickly are saying, hey, of

767
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: course they're not going to say that. They don't want

768
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: to throw the kid into the bus anymore, but at

769
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 3: times they have shared that. But right now that doesn't

770
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: seem to be the case with him exactly.

771
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: We heard a lot of that word operation. We like

772
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: the operation better with Daniel Jones right now.

773
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 3: Correct, I mean oftentimes when they praise Daniel Jones, it

774
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: is probably also a direct one eight two Anthony Richardson.

775
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: Cody Wright's kind of crazy thought before we even play

776
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: game one. But isn't this roster actually set up for

777
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: a young quarterback really well? It's supposed to be a

778
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: good line stud, tight end, possession, wide receiver in pits,

779
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: slotting downs, deep ball guys, top five running backs, supposedly,

780
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: good play caller. It's just the weird dynamic of time

781
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: is up for Chris and Shane to win, but they

782
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: should be letting their young quarterback develop with what seems

783
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: like a really solid supporting cast. Instead, they're relying on

784
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the cast to elevate DJ and save everyone's jobs.

785
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: I think that's really well said. You go back to

786
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, you had an offensive line that was

787
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: the only the new left tackle. You obviously didn't f

788
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren. From a wide receiver standpoint, Pierce was not

789
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: yet Pierce, and josh Awllens was a rookie. So I'm

790
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: trying to think was the Taylor contract drama was that

791
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four.

792
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: That was twenty twenty three, because remember Anthony started the

793
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: year month and was kind of promising, oh.

794
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, his only snap, he only played like one snap

795
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: with them exactly. Yeah, So then you had that so yeah, yeah,

796
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: I think that's a great point from Cody there.

797
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: I still to this day don't think that JT gets

798
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: that extension if Ar does not look as good as

799
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: he did that first month of the season. I truly

800
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 2: believe they thought, wait a second, this guy is better

801
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: than we thought. Let's get our running back in there

802
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: make his life easier. Then you know things change.

803
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: James, what do you make of if I could transition

804
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 3: away from quarterback for a brief minute. I guess I'm

805
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: Chris Baoward here thirteen minutes in the Prescott Well, but said,

806
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: hold on, now, I'm the one asking the question this year.

807
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: Positions of strength that he mentioned makes sense to you?

808
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: Not makes sense to you? Would you throw any others

809
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: out there? Trenches, wide receiver, tight end with the positions

810
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 3: that he mentioned as what he consider strengths.

811
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that I would push back on a bit,

812
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: it is probably tight end because although everyone here is

813
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 2: high on Tyler Warren feeling good, you know by the way, Yes,

814
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 2: I think that he elevates that room a lot, but

815
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: you didn't change anything else really outside of him, And

816
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: I get that Marley Cox, in my opinion, is probably

817
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: a better suited player for the role he'll be in

818
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 2: this season versus being your number one guy.

819
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: But again, you didn't really upgrade anywhere else.

820
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: So I have questions about that, especially because football, you

821
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: know how his game goes. If Tyler Warren gets dinged up,

822
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: you're back to where you were before with the same

823
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: tight end room. So I have questions there, But I

824
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: do agree that wide receiver is really good for them,

825
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 2: a really healthy room. Do they have a bona fide

826
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: star Jamar Chase or Justin Jefferson. No, but I think

827
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: they have a lot of really good players that can contribute,

828
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 2: especially in this style of offense that I'll imagine with

829
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is a bit more conservative, and you have,

830
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: in my opinion, a couple of wide receivers and Josh Downs.

831
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna Piman Junior, who can really help you

832
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: in the middle of the field short yardage sort of

833
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: like the in between games. So that to me is

834
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: a plus. And I did love and I'm not saying

835
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: this casually. I mean this honestly, him giving a shot

836
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: out to Lawan Treadwell because.

837
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: Tread Well not on the practice squad.

838
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.

839
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see what that means. I believe they

840
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: have three spots left. They announced fourteen, but they have

841
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: one player that was the international exemption. You can have

842
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: sixteen on your practice squad, so they have three more

843
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: that they can feel. And the reason why he be

844
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: seventeen is you can have sixteen against American players and

845
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: then one international exemption.

846
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see where that all shakes out. But that's

847
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 3: a guy.

848
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: Who again on another team, he might be the sixth

849
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: receiver is just here they got too was talent that position.

850
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: As of the side. Someone asked kJ from Brownsburg wanted

851
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: to know did we hear anything on Mike Hilton being

852
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: brought in for a tryout yesterday?

853
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: No, no update just there just yet. I'm sorry, but

854
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: I will certainly check in with the ever so telling

855
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: sources to see what I can bring you.

856
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: Maybe they're in the show.

857
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: We'll see it.

858
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 3: Sounds like they're going to work out a lot of

859
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: dudes here in the next few days.

860
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 8: Yeah.

861
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: I know Adam Scheff rather report of Anthony Walker, former

862
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 3: Colts linebacker been in Miami most recently has started games

863
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 3: of the NFL. I think people will remember that name.

864
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 3: So Ballard definitely mentioned that. I know Jeremy Fowler from

865
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: ESPN had Tyler Scott, a wide out I think spent

866
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: time with the Bears. Drafted by the Bears. Yeah, yeah,

867
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: fourth round pick, like yeah, I think brings a bill.

868
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: They had him signing with the Colts practice squad, so

869
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: that would probably further push Laquon Treadwell away because that

870
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: would give him what three line or three wideouts, I

871
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 3: think on the practice squad with that, so no, also

872
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: no Jason Bean on the practice squad. For those that

873
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 3: care are curious if the fourth quarterback would be there

874
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: or if Jason Bean would hang around. So I'm not

875
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: surprised by that, but just thought our chair.

876
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: My guest too, is if they got to the point

877
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: where they needed to add a practice squad quarterback, somewhere downline,

878
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: he probably isn't going to have a job, would be

879
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: my guess. Somewhere he might be able to pick him

880
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: back up off the street, but that's the gamble you take.

881
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: You never know. Coming up in a minute, we will

882
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: talk more about the Colts their state of affairs as

883
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: they get ready for the twenty twenty five season. Coming

884
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: up at eight thirty, Scott Agnes will stop by, and

885
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: then at nine o'clock Tom Deenart from on three dot com,

886
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: we'll stop by to talk a little college football. We'll

887
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: take some of your comments on the fan text line

888
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: at two three nine ten seventy. You can even call

889
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,959
Speaker 1: us up the old fashioned way at that same number.

890
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: It's all straight ahead on ninety three five one oh

891
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: seven five the fan. Good morning, everyone, Welcome into the

892
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: fan Morning Show as a couple of textures has pointed

893
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: out as all we do we ever get tired of

894
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: talking about Chris Ballard and Shagsdike and and I said, yes, yes,

895
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: we do. It would be so much fun to be

896
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: talking about other things at this point in time. Uh,

897
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to talking about all the comments

898
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: that Chris Ballard made. And here are some of his

899
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: comments talking about Anthony Richardson and why he's on the

900
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: bench and why they went with Daniel Jones and what

901
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: the plan is or isn't moving forward. But was there

902
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: before we move on to that in the spirit of

903
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: that of that text and those texts that I've been getting,

904
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: was there anything else that you learned about this final

905
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster from Chris Ballard yesterday that you

906
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: didn't know going injab Yeah.

907
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 2: Not necessarily. I did get a kick out of him

908
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: talking about Maley Cox. At the end of the press conference,

909
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 2: Kevin and I believe Mike Chapel shout out to the dean.

910
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: Fox fifty nine's Mike Chapel was like, hey, you know what,

911
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: so chap he literally says, you know, hey, you know

912
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: most still here, you know, guys thinking about trying to upgrade,

913
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: but he's still here, and he said, hey, I love

914
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: Morley Cox, and I think for there are most fans

915
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: they're like, why do you love a guy who doesn't

916
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: produce a lot of big numbers. But again, I go

917
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: back to what I said right before the break. I

918
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: truly believe Molly Cox is a fine number two tight

919
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: end or number three if he's used as a blocker

920
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: and in a more diminished role as a pass catcher.

921
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: So his value in conjunction with Tyler Warren's presence now

922
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: being on the roster, to me makes him better in

923
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: a sense. Now, I might be going out on a

924
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 2: huge limit here because obviously Malay Cox isn't going to

925
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: be some prolific tight end, but I do think he

926
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: can be very valuable for this team, especially considering that

927
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 2: there's still probably going to be more run first than

928
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: past first. So I knew Chris would love being able

929
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 2: to talk about Mally Cox outside of you know, the

930
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: million questions we had about this quarterback situation, and also

931
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: on a more I guess urgent note, because I do

932
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: think that Jalen Travis has a chance to possibly play

933
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: this year as their swing tackle. He seems very high

934
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: on Jeen Travis and what he could bring. And I

935
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 2: thought that was interesting because his value changed so quickly

936
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: when Blake Freeland went down with the broken leg. Now,

937
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Travis is your guy if somebody else gets banged

938
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 2: up on that offensive line, particularly at the tackle spots,

939
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 2: and so I'm excited to see what he could bring

940
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: to the table if and when he's called upon.

941
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: Did you say the word conjunction? I did conjunction.

942
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: We're playing all the hits this morning.

943
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 3: That's coolhouse rock there.

944
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 2: These kids don't know nothing about the gas.

945
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: James Boyd, thank you for what's the other one? It

946
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 3: was something about like a bill Oh yeah, I'm just yeah.

947
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 3: See those are bangers, man. We could exactly a couple

948
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 3: of things for me. Yess rock again, positions of strength, trenches,

949
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: wide out, tight end. You know, at this point yesterday

950
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 3: we did ask the question is it truly over for

951
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 3: Juju Brents, Jolani Woods, those guys here, both of them

952
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 3: were claimed. The Colts had three guys claim, which is

953
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 3: pretty rare. That is a big number for the Colts.

954
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 3: James pointed this out earlier. Samuel Womack, a cornerback claimed

955
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 3: by the Titans. There's nothing no one does sloppy seconds

956
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: better than the FC South. Nobody excuse me.

957
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: Mark all the sudden start paying attention to the show again.

958
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: They just pass each other around like price out there.

959
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 3: So Samuel well Mack to the Titans there as a

960
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 3: corner I think Tennessee claimed four again. They had the

961
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: number one waiver priority as having the number one pick

962
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 3: last year, so they got four new players. Jelani Woods

963
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: to the Jets and then Juju Brince indeed to the Dolphins,

964
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 3: who the Colts will see in Week one. So you

965
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 3: know what, I love me that storyline. Can you imagine

966
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 3: what that game might be like for Juju Brents.

967
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 1: I hope he blows.

968
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed if he were to pick off the quarterback.

969
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: Now mind, you's got to make the official active roster.

970
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 3: But and as of now he is on the fifteen

971
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 3: minut roster. We'll see how much up to speed he

972
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 3: can be in ten days. But yes, him and Xavier

973
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: Howard if either of them record an interception, can you

974
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: imagine the sprint to the opposing bench for a celebration

975
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 3: potentially on that So maybe on the Week one story

976
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 3: lines that there's a lot of them. Frankly, Juju, Brent's

977
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 3: to the Dolphins and Chris, you know, kind of summarize Juju,

978
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 3: you know, in the bad luck phrase, and I think

979
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: to be fair to Juju. And again, injuries have obviously

980
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 3: dominated his career. Unfortunately the sample size, albeit eleven games,

981
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 3: really small sample size in two years. I did think

982
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: when he played he looked like a guy that could

983
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: play in the NFL. The question was just obviously availability.

984
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 3: So he's off to Miami there and the Colts will

985
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 3: potentially see him Week one.

986
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: Two seventy. The text line and the text line seizing

987
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: on the Chris Pallard comments about having people who have

988
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: a normal job, right, remember that when he was Sea

989
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: that compare.

990
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 3: Let's get into that.

991
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: Steve says, this is coming from someone with a normal job.

992
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: I think James and Kevin should buy Ballard some tap

993
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: shoes because he's always dancing around their questions. And then

994
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: Brian says, morning fellows love the show in relation to

995
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: Ballard's comments about having a real job. I have a

996
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: real job. I'm a PM for a large electrical contractor,

997
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: and with his results, I personally would have fired him

998
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: a long time ago.

999
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't take that as him taking a shot

1000
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: at people who worked the regular nine to five's. And

1001
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 2: I try to be very gracious on these airwaves when

1002
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: I tell you I am living my dream you all

1003
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: know preach. I am not one to shot away from that,

1004
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: because this is certainly a sweet gig. But I think

1005
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard was saying something similar to that in a

1006
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek fashion. Now I know he had the

1007
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 2: you know, where is his person sending his email from?

1008
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: Is if from their parents' basement or whatever, like, Yeah,

1009
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: that was a little verbal jab, but I think he

1010
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 2: understands the magnitude. And I never took Chris as somebody

1011
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 2: who takes it for granted. I think he was just saying, like, yeah,

1012
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 2: I understand when I was asking him about pressure, that

1013
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: the pressure is a bit different because I am doing

1014
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: something that is in a lot of people's eyes, not

1015
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: something that's gonna tip the scales of like my household

1016
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: or society or something like that.

1017
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 3: So I didn't take it as that.

1018
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 2: I know some people were gonna get little priickly about

1019
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 2: that comment, which is fair for their perspective, but no,

1020
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 2: I didn't view it that way.

1021
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. If he had to go back,

1022
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: maybe he would amend that. But I'm kind of with James.

1023
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 3: I didn't really take that, and James, you and I

1024
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 3: might just be numb frankly to Baller at this point.

1025
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 3: Like you know, Mark Mark played audio yesterday of the

1026
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 3: wide receiver comment. I mean, what, Mark, that was twenty nineteen,

1027
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 3: combine twenty twenty comeback then, Yeah, I mean that's five

1028
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: six years ago. So at this point, I'm just used

1029
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 3: to Baller, and I'm used to those sorts of comments.

1030
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, if you really want to get in

1031
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: the weeds about you know, analogies to people's jobs and

1032
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 3: things like that. The comment that I would say is

1033
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 3: more bothersome to me was back at the start of

1034
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 3: training camp when he was asked about you know pressure,

1035
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that one was all right. He quickly referenced, no,

1036
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 3: pressure is paycheck to paycheck. Pressure is you know whatever,

1037
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 3: trying to make ends meet for your family. And I

1038
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 3: just wanted to be like, dude, I mean, that's just

1039
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: a cop out. When we're in this press conference bubble,

1040
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: We're living in an NFL world. We're not living in

1041
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 3: a world where you know, there are people that do

1042
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 3: have literally every two weeks that is their ends. And yes,

1043
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 3: I get that that is a reality for some people,

1044
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: but you happen to be someone that has a job

1045
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 3: that makes millions of dollars. And to people's point, if

1046
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 3: in a lot of people's jobs, if they had the

1047
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 3: resume that you've had right now, they would no longer

1048
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 3: be working that job. So yeah, that they would not

1049
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 3: be almost a decade on the same job. Correct. That

1050
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 3: one probably bothered me more than yesterday's when.

1051
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: That always reminds me of the lead Trevino quote on

1052
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: pressure when he said, you don't know what pressure is

1053
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: until you play for five dollars a hole with only

1054
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: two dollars in your pocket.

1055
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. No, that's a that's a great line.

1056
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: Two through nine, ten seventy is the text line number.

1057
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of those little bit later on.

1058
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: I did wonder and I heard a lot of the

1059
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 1: press conferences I was coming in and out of places,

1060
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: and then I listened back to some of it. What

1061
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: we learned about that group of veteran cornerbacks yesterday? Did

1062
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: people seem content with that? Did anybody even ask a

1063
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: lot of questions about that.

1064
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was definitely asked about corner and again it

1065
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 3: sounds like they're not done there. Potentially, we'll see how

1066
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 3: they rest the week plays out, but yeah, I mean

1067
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 3: they have. He kind of went player by player down

1068
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 3: the list and you know what they like about Makai

1069
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 3: Blackman and Jonathan Edwards the undrafted free agent. And again,

1070
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 3: if you want to look at it, Edward's probably just

1071
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 3: flat out made the team over Juju Brens. So here

1072
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: we talked a little bout.

1073
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 2: Shout out to him. By the way, I do want

1074
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 2: to just give him a quick moment. I mean, this

1075
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 2: is a guy who's ndrafted at Tollai, not a powerhouse

1076
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 2: university or a program, and for the Green Wave.

1077
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're.

1078
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: Undrafted, you're already going to fight that uphill battle to

1079
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: make the team. But this guy who showed enough in

1080
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: a position that quickly changed due to injuries and took

1081
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: advantage of it. So I'm looking forward to meeting this

1082
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 2: Jonathan Edwards. I know I've kind of been in the

1083
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 2: same vicinity, but just getting to know him a bit

1084
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: more as a season approaches.

1085
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I know I've echoed this a lot here

1086
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 3: over the last few days, So I apologize for repeating myself,

1087
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 3: but I just haven't seen a position group in the

1088
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 3: Ballad era. I have more investment in one offseason than

1089
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 3: Corner and now as we train. And I mean this

1090
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 3: with all sincerity. A major credit to Chris Ballard for that.

1091
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: You know, I think we're living in a cycle where

1092
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: everything Ballard says is often met with just immediate criticism,

1093
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: and I'm really trying not to. Yes, it's a big picture.

1094
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 3: Do I think Chris Ballard deserved a ninth year. No,

1095
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 3: I've made that clear. I didn't think he deserved an eighth. Frankly,

1096
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 3: probably a seventh. But I do have to live in

1097
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: reality of like the season's about to start, Let's evaluate

1098
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 3: these individuals on individual you know, moves and games, etc.

1099
00:52:59,080 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: Etc.

1100
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: And talk big picture when I guess time calls for that,

1101
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 3: but living in the world of what has he done

1102
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: at Corner here this offseason? That was an issue for

1103
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 3: you last year? That was did they start Dallas Flowers?

1104
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: Last year?

1105
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 3: James coming off the Achilles?

1106
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: They did?

1107
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: Let mean think about that, they designed a dude coming

1108
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 3: off a torn Achilles. Samuel Wallmack was a waiver claim

1109
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 3: who ended up playing important snaps for you very early

1110
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 3: in the season. Now Samuel Wallmack is getting claimed by

1111
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 3: another team. You have had a rookie except for a

1112
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 3: torn acl and yet you have cut a second round.

1113
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 2: Actually, I take that back. They didn't start Dallas Flowers

1114
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 2: last year, however they him.

1115
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, some reason. I'm picturing the Jacksonville game and Brian

1116
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 3: Thomas Junior just running straight. Yeah, he definitely played though.

1117
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 3: So you were playing a guy off at torn Achilles

1118
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 3: very early in the season at a position that that

1119
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 3: sounds frightening. Sou It's just a total really one to eighty.

1120
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: Now again, is it going to work out? Some of

1121
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 3: these guys are age. Yeah, you have some question marks.

1122
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 3: But to me, if you have a glaring issue and

1123
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 3: you're bringing in a new defensive coordinator that wants to

1124
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 3: play a different system, you need to make sure that

1125
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: he has some ingredients that he thinks will benefit him.

1126
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 3: And I think that this isn't an attempt at doing that,

1127
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 3: and I think at times there hasn't been enough of

1128
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 3: that in the ballot era.

1129
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,919
Speaker 1: Uh. And last, before we move on anything else other

1130
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 1: than quarterback that we haven't talked about, and we talked

1131
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: about tight end. Did he address the offensive line at all?

1132
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: Raymond anchoring things there, feeling pretty good about what they

1133
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: have put in place where they're at there.

1134
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 3: I do want to answer your questions.

1135
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 2: I want to pivot real quick, Caleb Boggs, I did,

1136
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 2: forget this shout out to Jonathan Edwards, who also played

1137
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 2: Aniana States before playing at Tulane. Roll trees unbelievable now

1138
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: j and V paid for his exactly all those jump

1139
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 2: shots he's shooting on the weekends and made people, you know,

1140
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: bend money on it. But I do think getting your question, Jeff,

1141
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 2: he didn't reference like any of the veterans too much yesterday.

1142
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: A lot of it had to do with again the

1143
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: changes that quarterback and then the changes elsewhere within the roster.

1144
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: So personally, I didn't feel the need to ask about

1145
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 2: Bernard Ryman or Quentin Nelson or other people that you

1146
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 2: know are going to be who they've been the last

1147
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 2: few years and are still in the prime of their careers.

1148
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 2: But certainly a lot at stake for this team. And actually, Mark,

1149
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: if you have it kind of queued up or can

1150
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: get it cued up. I think one of the questions

1151
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 2: that I threw at him and kind of Kevin reference

1152
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: in the first hour. This to me sums up the

1153
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 2: ballid experience because I asked him, when it comes to Anthony,

1154
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 2: you all kind of flip flopped. Your playing with him starts,

1155
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: it starts it. Here's what he had to say in

1156
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 2: regard to why people should believe in that?

1157
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 3: Again, well, I don't quite.

1158
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 7: That's so you're really good asking questions because you always

1159
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 7: get to why should people believe? I don't know how

1160
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 7: answer why should people believe? Like, I think you know

1161
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 7: the answer. They believe when you win. If you don't,

1162
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 7: they don't believe. Like it wouldn't matter who's a quarterback.

1163
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 7: They wouldn't believe if you didn't win, They're not going

1164
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 7: to believe. If you win, they give you a little

1165
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 7: more benefit of the doubt. And then y'all help put

1166
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 7: doubt to make sure there's questions being asked. That's the

1167
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 7: only way I know how to answer that one.

1168
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 8: Don't.

1169
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 7: I don't know what you want me to say.

1170
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: We just want to know what your thoughts are. That's

1171
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: what we want.

1172
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think what he said was very fair

1173
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: to some degree. And know some people might be saying, oh,

1174
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: he didn't say anything, But the winning part is ultimately

1175
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: what matters, man, And I can sit here on my

1176
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: high horse and say, you know, I don't believe in

1177
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 2: the planet you all have laid out. But I'll be

1178
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 2: the same one having to e Crow if you went

1179
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 2: out there and won with Daniel Jones. So I get

1180
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 2: where he's coming from. But that's what happens when you

1181
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 2: have sort of that hamster will of mediocrity. You don't

1182
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: build enough I don't know if equity is the right way,

1183
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: but enough trust within the fan base to say I'm

1184
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 2: gonna do this and you should trust me, because the

1185
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 2: trust that they've given you so far hasn't come with

1186
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 2: fruitful results.

1187
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 3: They don't exactly.

1188
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: So that's my only thing is like, how do you

1189
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 2: sell you know, the fan base, and really beyond that,

1190
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you tell your team this is

1191
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: our plan? Like if you're the Forest Buckner or Quentin Nelson,

1192
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: you've been there for years and years and you've been

1193
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 2: playing at a high level and you don't see any

1194
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: of that come to any collective tangible success, then it

1195
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: might be harder for you, even as a professional athlete,

1196
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 2: not to speak for them. I don't know what they

1197
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 2: personally feel, but I imagine it could get a bit

1198
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 2: frustrating to not have a chance to get into the

1199
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: dance and play big games and you know, host a

1200
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 2: playoff game, all those things that you want to do

1201
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: throughout your career before it's over. Because, as we know football,

1202
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 2: this game only lasts so long, you know. So they

1203
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 2: have a chance to potentially, you know, get better this

1204
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 2: year with Daniel Jones, that is a possibility, but they

1205
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 2: have to deliver.

1206
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 5: I hated that comment he made about, well, the media

1207
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 5: puts doubt so that the fans believed are the reason

1208
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 5: they put doubt in the fans' minds. No, it's because

1209
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 5: you're playing the shell game with the quarterback for another

1210
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 5: year and everything. Right, look over here, here's our plan.

1211
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 5: Oh wait, now it's over here. Now this is our plan.

1212
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 5: Now it's over here, Like you keep changing the plan

1213
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 5: and the destination of what you want the quarterback to be.

1214
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 5: They spent the fourth overall pick on and now he's

1215
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 5: entering year three and he's gonna hold the clipboard for

1216
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 5: probably the majority of the season, barring Daniel Jones being

1217
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 5: injured or just outright terrible. That's where the doubt comes

1218
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 5: from and here fact that there's no faith in the

1219
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 5: front office.

1220
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: This sounds obvious, but it's true. You want to get

1221
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: people to start believing. I mean, it's an incredible opportunity

1222
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: and it as unlikely Kevin as it sounds. Those first

1223
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: three games Miami Denver, two teams that you were battling

1224
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: with directly for a playoff spot less than a year ago. Denver.

1225
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's really high on them this year. They're supposed to

1226
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: be a really good team. If two is playing his best,

1227
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: people like the Miami Dolphins, and then a team that

1228
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 1: you have trouble with all the time, Bonville. Those first

1229
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: three weeks go two and one and three and zero

1230
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: against those teams and look pretty good. You'll get the

1231
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: people will start they want to believe, James, they want

1232
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: to believe. You get those three games or two of

1233
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: those three, people maybe start to believe, don't you think?

1234
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 2: Certainly? Certainly? And Mark, do you have our breaking news sounder?

1235
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 4: Oh the breaking news from ninety three five and one

1236
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 4: oh seven to five the fan and this is actually

1237
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 4: very serious.

1238
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: So the Washington Posts, one of their sports writers, Sam

1239
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: forty A, just released the story at the top of

1240
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: This Hour saying that NFL owner Jim Ersay secretly relapsed

1241
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 2: got ketamine before quote luxury doctor. I mean, you got

1242
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 2: ketemine from luxury doctor before death. And the cliff notes

1243
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: that they've tweeted out says that Ersay and the Colts

1244
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 2: execs misled the public. Ersay overdose three times between twenty

1245
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 2: twenty and is made death and there are serious concerns

1246
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 2: raised about his doctors. So that just dropped in the

1247
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Washington Post. It sounds like they were working on this

1248
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: story for months, and so that will certainly be something

1249
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 2: I have to follow up on and read later today.

1250
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: Well, I'm scrolling through. This is a long, long piece. Yeah, yeah,

1251
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 3: two overdoses they're reporting twelve days right around that Steelers

1252
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: game in twenty twenty three. Was that when we I

1253
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 3: think I was right when remember like he was supposed

1254
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 3: to do an appearance of the Gym Mersey Band Collection

1255
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 3: or whatever it was called. They called the respiratory illness

1256
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 3: and why he couldn't. He spent four months in the

1257
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 3: hospital after that. M h m hmm.

1258
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: It's still sad, so sad.

1259
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 3: Tough man.

1260
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, let's get the rest of the day's

1261
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: news in as well as we scroll through that and

1262
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: try to find out more from that. Here's what's happening

1263
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: here and now.

1264
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 4: The Morning Checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

1265
01:00:59,120 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 4: seven five.

1266
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: After that serious story is dropping, we will talk about

1267
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: the Colts on the field, or at least at a

1268
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: press conference with Chris Ballard yesterday Kevin Bowen a lot

1269
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: of it just defending their decision to start Daniel Jones

1270
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and they have not given up on Anthony Richardson. No

1271
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: real plan on what it is for Anthony Richardson going forward.

1272
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: But was it just more of the same that we've

1273
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: heard the last year and a half from Chris Ballard.

1274
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think at this point there's only so much

1275
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 3: you can say, and I thought that clip that we

1276
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 3: just played probably summarizes it pretty well. They believe in

1277
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 3: you if you win. If you don't, they don't, and

1278
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 3: right now there's not enough winning to make people believe.

1279
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 3: So that's where you're at. You know, some other kind

1280
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 3: of branches of the again, positions of strength, trenches, wide, receiver,

1281
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 3: tight end, so kind of hit on that, but yeah,

1282
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 3: I know that's kind of the big stuff. And they

1283
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 3: did make one waiver claim yesterday Chad Mumma, the linebacker

1284
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 3: from the Jags claim Tim Smith's six round pick got

1285
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Alabama was Wave. We'll see if he gets on the

1286
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 3: practice squad. But again, linebacker only four names as of yesterday,

1287
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 3: so I think the thought was they would definitely go

1288
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 3: out there and find a linebacker and some special team

1289
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 3: snaps in his background former third round pick, so that's

1290
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 3: where they are going.

1291
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: They did name their practice squad yesterday. Four notable names.

1292
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about Ulyssa Spentley and Khalil Herbert. To

1293
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: running backs that'll be on the practice squad to start

1294
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: things off this year. Chris Lamon's who I like a lot,

1295
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: is a cornerback who will be on that practice squad.

1296
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: And also coleman Owen, who raised a lot of eyebrows

1297
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: in that third preseason game catching a bunch of passes

1298
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: from Ridley Leonard and and everybody else that was playing

1299
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that game. He'll be around on the practice squad for

1300
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: right now. Anybody else that was a surprise or expected

1301
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: on that, James not really.

1302
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it again just comes down

1303
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 2: to how does it fluctu way over the next couple

1304
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: of days, Because like I said earlier, you still got

1305
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 2: a couple of spots up for grabs, and we will

1306
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 2: see how the Colts see fits.

1307
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 3: He use them all right.

1308
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball yesterday the Pirates of the Saint Louis

1309
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals two to one. Dodgers weep the Cincinnati Reds by

1310
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: it's five to one. Who was I was trying to say,

1311
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: are you going to abandon being a Reds fan?

1312
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 3: Are you going to abandon following this team?

1313
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: The Red stink?

1314
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 4: It was time to you know, get.

1315
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 6: Out of there.

1316
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 3: That's a playoff r I'm gonna spend playing the hits.

1317
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 3: At this point, I'm gonna spend it. I think it's healthy.

1318
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 3: I don't think, honestly my sports life can have a

1319
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: team in the month of September actually playing quality baseball.

1320
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I got no one.

1321
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 3: I feel like every sports fan has said this and

1322
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 3: start manall coming up Sunday night. I don't have time

1323
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 3: to be just living and dying with you know, the

1324
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 3: eighth Inny bullpen, dude who just got called up in

1325
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 3: the Louisville Bats trying to get you out of a jam.

1326
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 3: That's not healthy. No one does sloppy seconds better than

1327
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 3: the FC South preach, Kevin, I stand by that.

1328
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: The Reds were defeated by maybe the best player in baseball. Though,

1329
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: show hey, o Tommy five innings, just two hits, two walks,

1330
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: and nine strikeouts against the Reds. He's pretty good, oh Tommy. Also,

1331
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the Cubs getting clobbered by the San Francisco Giants twelve

1332
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: to three, Kansas City did nearly the same to the

1333
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: White Sox twelve to two was the final score there

1334
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: over at Victory Field. Yes, the Pysons beat the Indianapolis

1335
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Indians six to three, but that wasn't the story at

1336
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: Victory Field. Kevin, you're less than stellar critique of TJ

1337
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: McConnell's first pich.

1338
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 3: Again, I thought, major credit to him for towing the rubber,

1339
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 3: Major credit to him for taking the steps to practice

1340
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 3: the first pitch. By all accounts, Scott Agnes will join

1341
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 3: us here in a few to talk more about this.

1342
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 3: Sounded like he practiced at the Saint Vincent Center. He

1343
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 3: did not want to hop it, but that that pitch

1344
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 3: was that almost missed the left side of the batter's box.

1345
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: The catcher got it fairly easy. That's all I can.

1346
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is if we see Kevin Bowman throw

1347
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 2: a first pitch in any straight down the center. Oh,

1348
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 2: I will boo you live on this radio show. I

1349
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 2: will be in there in person to record it and

1350
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,439
Speaker 2: boo you you Kevin.

1351
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 3: I think you can do it. Thanks.

1352
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: We got to get Kevin on the first pitch over there.

1353
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: On the matter, I feel like the show has really

1354
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 3: turned into Jeff and I against James and Mark. Well,

1355
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 3: that's a losing endeavor, brother, mm hmm. You guys are

1356
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 3: on the wrong side of history there. Wow, I got

1357
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 3: a side of the boss, or else I might not

1358
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 3: be around you know what. Always were very smart.

1359
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: You know man.

1360
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 3: Or maybe I should do the Daniel Jones thing. Go

1361
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 3: away for a few months and then people all of

1362
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 3: a sudden they're like, ah, fourteen millions week, better, here

1363
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 3: you go. You want some chapstick for all that ass

1364
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 3: kissing you're doing? Right wow, Hey, we come.

1365
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: Back on the air.

1366
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 2: Those in the YouTube if you see some furniture moving, Hey,

1367
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm not involved.

1368
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to go right down Kevin's wheelhouse right now.

1369
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Kegan Bradley names the Ryder Cup team yesterday he left

1370
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: himself off the team. I thought a pretty selfless maneuver

1371
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: right there, Kevin Bowen.

1372
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 3: The chapstick might be on Jeff's lips right there. Oh,

1373
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 3: come on, I thought it was a joke. I thought

1374
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 3: Keagan was an idiot for not picking himself. Keegan should

1375
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 3: have picked himself. He's easily one of the best twelve

1376
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 3: America over the last twelve months. He should be playing.

1377
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Buy the fact that he says he's not playing his

1378
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: best right now. Didn't you just get top five of

1379
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the two? Or that's my point. I'm just just a

1380
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of.

1381
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 3: Sam Burns look like me Sunday of the US Open.

1382
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 3: I don't need to see sam Burns out there at

1383
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 3: Beth Pitch. I want drama. If Keegan would have played

1384
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 3: and won, he'd be one of the greatest Americans. Right

1385
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 3: up there with Edison, Chestnut, Abe, Lincoln, Mlka, all of them.

1386
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: That's Kevin's. That's Kevin's Mount Rushmore right there, Keig and Bradley,

1387
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut, and where the other two.

1388
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 3: You is Thomas Edison, Abe Lincoln and doctor Martin Luther

1389
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 3: King Okay, and maybe Washington. I should probably add there. Boy,

1390
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 3: this is a bigger Mount Rushmore than.

1391
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: I thought we're gonna get a statue of Kevin coming

1392
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: out of the mountain, much like the other statue up there.

1393
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: I like that, all right? Coming up in a minute,

1394
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: we will switch gears. Scott Agnes will come by from

1395
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: the Fieldhouse Files. We'll get the latest on Caitlin Clark

1396
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: my cheap practice today we're hearing rumblings. We'll talk about that,

1397
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: and maybe the latest on the Pacers as well. It's

1398
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: right after this on ninety three five. Good morning, and

1399
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: welcome into the Fan Morning Show. Along with Kevin Bowen,

1400
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: James Boyd, I'm jeff Rickard, Mark Dyton with us as well.

1401
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Bombshell report from the Washington Post this morning. Colts owner

1402
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Jim Irsay spent his final years in the throes of

1403
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: a relapse that was hidden from the public. We'll talk

1404
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: more about that coming in a few minutes. We're all

1405
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: reading through it and getting more details as we speak.

1406
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: But scheduled to join us at this time. One of

1407
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: our favorites, Scott Agnes from the Fieldhouse Files on the

1408
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: Payless Lookers Hotline, is here to talk a little bit

1409
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: more about the Indiana Fever. Coming off a big win

1410
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: at home the other night against Seattle, getting ready to

1411
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: go on the road, take on the Sparks, a team

1412
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: that currently is on the outside looking in and chasing

1413
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: the fever in the playoff spot, and of course, the

1414
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: never ending questions about the health of Caitlin Clark. Good morning,

1415
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: Scott Agnes, and welcome to the show. How are you

1416
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: doing this morning.

1417
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 6: I'm good morning.

1418
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

1419
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:49,919
Speaker 6: Doing just fine.

1420
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: How about you, guys, We're doing very well. Is today

1421
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the day that Caitlin Clark gets the practice jersey on

1422
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: and makes it up and down the floor with their teammates.

1423
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would expect that they're out in LA and

1424
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 6: we'll get the practice in out there, and they were

1425
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 6: able to enjoy yesterday off. But I would guess if

1426
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 6: you're Caitlin and you're chomping to get back to it,

1427
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 6: I'm sure you were in the gym and getting a

1428
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 6: workout session in as well. So you're talking about maybe

1429
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 6: Jeff after today, she would have at least three, maybe

1430
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 6: four workout sessions in and in getting to a number

1431
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 6: in a number of situations where I think Stephanie White

1432
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 6: would be comfortable continuing to move forward with all this,

1433
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 6: And so I think that's the best thing because obviously

1434
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 6: there's not much time left. You have four to the

1435
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 6: next five games on the road in just six games

1436
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 6: left total, and so clock is ticking. But I think

1437
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 6: there's an opportunity right here for her to return, and

1438
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 6: it would probably be early next week.

1439
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Scott, I don't care about Kaitlyn Clark. I care about TJ. McConnell.

1440
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: Knight.

1441
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 3: You were boots on the Brown, tell me all about

1442
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 3: it that the crowds looked a massive last night of

1443
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 3: Victory Field for the backup point guard.

1444
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kb, I think it was an overwhelming success. As

1445
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 6: TJ came out, they played a minute long montage on

1446
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 6: the giant video board and I just looked around, panned

1447
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 6: around the stadium. It was all TJ in Pacer fans.

1448
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 6: It was remarkable. Let's go back to before gates open.

1449
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 6: Half an hour before that, there had to be hundreds

1450
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 6: at least outside of the Victory Field gates. Then they

1451
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 6: open up the gates and TJ's going was signing in

1452
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 6: the outfield, so kind of right where everybody came in.

1453
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 6: And I kid you not, within two minutes there was

1454
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 6: a line kind of down and back that was already

1455
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 6: sneaking in just two minutes and something you just don't hear. Ever,

1456
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 6: he set his sign for about a half an hour.

1457
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 6: The line was so long that it looked like there

1458
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 6: was no progress made that he goes, all, right, after

1459
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 6: I throw out the first pitch, I'll come back and

1460
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 6: sign more autographs, and he did for another half an hour.

1461
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 6: There was supposed to be kb A pushing for him

1462
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 6: at the bottom of the second inning. He was still

1463
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 6: signing autographs even then. So I think he was a

1464
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 6: massive success and more than anything, I think sometimes in

1465
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 6: a giant field house, it's hard to understand maybe the

1466
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 6: fandom or whoevery WANs and of course you have your

1467
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 6: superstar PU.

1468
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 9: Look, TJ is a.

1469
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 6: Role player, crushes that role in his fan base. I mean,

1470
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 6: they really rallied around him, and it was and it

1471
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 6: was remarkable too for me to see the demographics of

1472
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 6: fans just ranged entirely. There was there was adults, there

1473
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 6: was there was young kids. Uh. There was one guy

1474
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 6: that said, yeah, I drove four hours from Kentucky to CTJ, so, uh,

1475
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 6: you saw everything last night, and I thought it was

1476
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 6: it went over really well.

1477
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: So you're proving my theory. Mark Dyke in the TJ

1478
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: McConnell in this town is just as popular as blue.

1479
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 3: He is among adult males. I would wholeheartedly agree.

1480
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,480
Speaker 2: So, Scott, I know you do a lot of serious supporting,

1481
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 2: but you know, along those same lines, I see here

1482
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 2: that you said there was a slam dunk contest on

1483
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 2: a mini hoop the out Hustle TJ in Great Cliffs

1484
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 2: style cam with photos of him.

1485
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 3: So, yeah, of those three, which one are? Which one

1486
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 3: are you?

1487
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 2: Because I would love see in a mini hoop dunk

1488
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 2: contest myself. But can you explain what the out Hustle

1489
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 2: TJ events or theme was?

1490
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, so those didn't really involve him more just the themes,

1491
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 6: but they were they were really fun. And again the

1492
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 6: first one he was supposed to judge the slam dunk contest,

1493
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 6: but he was still signing autographs when that happened, so

1494
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 6: he was not You would not want me in these

1495
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 6: slam dunk contests. I'm much like Tye and such. I

1496
01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 6: much rather pass than set up the basket. But in

1497
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 6: terms of the outrun him, it was kind of cool.

1498
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 6: They set up like a digital Ooh, I'm gonna get

1499
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 6: yelled at like a tech techmo or whatever it is.

1500
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Okay, that was a digital version.

1501
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 6: On the outfield wall. I think it's left field and

1502
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 6: an individual tried to out race that character. So that's

1503
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 6: what that.

1504
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I gotcha, I gotcha. This is like in baseball?

1505
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 2: Is that the mister freezer?

1506
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1507
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, gotcha? Okay.

1508
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 2: Well, on a more serious note, because I could talk

1509
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 2: about this all day seriously with your Scott, but looking

1510
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: at the fever, huge win obviously over the Seattle Storm

1511
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 2: to put themselves in a great position down a stretch

1512
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: here when we look at the playoff picture, what do

1513
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 2: you think this team has shown despite all of the injuries,

1514
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 2: yet they're still in this position to make the playoffs

1515
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: for a second consecutive year.

1516
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 6: I think they've shown exactly what they're made of. And

1517
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 6: I think all these hardships pun intended here, with all

1518
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 6: the hardship contracts, I think it's shown how close they are.

1519
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: And I mean just you're watching.

1520
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 6: The middle of these games and several of them are

1521
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 6: not a team at the moment because they had surgery

1522
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 6: and their life tweeting or hey I love these girls,

1523
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 6: or hey that's you know whatever throughout the game or after.

1524
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: A big play or whatever.

1525
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 6: I think this is hardened this group because all they

1526
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 6: have is each other as they see one player after

1527
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 6: and you almost go down in this trying season unlike

1528
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 6: any we've seen before, and so they realize there's a

1529
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 6: lot of doubt that what they can do or who's

1530
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 6: available and such, and all we keep seeing is is

1531
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 6: players from the outside shut again that it's all about

1532
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 6: fitting opportunity. Right. Erry McDonald was phenomenal and unfortunately she's out,

1533
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 6: and Odyssey Simms is the latest in that situation coming

1534
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 6: you know, was a is a veteran came in has

1535
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 6: played her role in the last game. For example, you

1536
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 6: see here chipping twenty two points as a starting point

1537
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 6: guard while the team keeps their turnovers to twelve. I

1538
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 6: think that's been fantastic no matter who they're playing there.

1539
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,600
Speaker 6: And the fact there's sixth and certainly vying for a

1540
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 6: playoff spot despite Caitlin only playing in about a dozen

1541
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 6: games this season is incredible. And so overall, I think

1542
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:34,480
Speaker 6: you've just seen at a lot of culture being established

1543
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 6: I think by this front office, by the coaching staff,

1544
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 6: and then this players. They've just made the most of

1545
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 6: their opportunity.

1546
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 3: Can Scott agnesfield house files you can find his work

1547
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 3: he's with the year on the Payless Slickers hotline. Scott,

1548
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: We're about six days remove from the story about Mike Winer,

1549
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 3: Rick Carlisle. I guess you'd call him maybe his top assistant.

1550
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 3: Mutually parting ways, and I thought the press release, and

1551
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 3: I mean, you've read plenty of mutually parting ways press

1552
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 3: release is in your day, that one was one of

1553
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 3: the more complimentary ones that I've ever read. Steven Simon

1554
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 3: went to Twitter and called Mike Winer a rock star

1555
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 3: and I don't know. I read it and it didn't

1556
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 3: scream to me at all. This guy is just going

1557
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 3: got a better job offer somewhere else. And honestly, when

1558
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 3: I read it, I'm like, boy, I hope everything's okay

1559
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 3: with Mike Winer and his family a month out from

1560
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 3: the start of training camp. Anymore, that you have found

1561
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 3: out about Mike Winer and leaving the Pacers about a

1562
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 3: month before the start of the season.

1563
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would agree with what you said there, starting

1564
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 6: with the press release in that and I even noted

1565
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 6: this in my story that the press release for him

1566
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 6: to them having this parting of ways longer than one

1567
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 6: like three days earlier, about celebrating Rick Carlyle being signed

1568
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 6: to this contract extension, which is obviously a huge success

1569
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 6: in celebration, and so instead of just being a one

1570
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 6: or two liner, No, they wanted to take a long

1571
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 6: time with this, and clearly Rick Carlisle wanted to share

1572
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,560
Speaker 6: a lot to make sure to emphasize his contratributions and

1573
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 6: him being a winner. But right now, no, nothing more

1574
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,560
Speaker 6: has emerged from this situation. I know it was a

1575
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 6: challenging finished for him family wise over the last several

1576
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 6: months and in the last this past season, but there

1577
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 6: was no indication in my mind and from what I

1578
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 6: had heard, that that this might head this way or

1579
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 6: anything like this. But right now it does seem more

1580
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 6: perhaps like a family and personal decision for him to

1581
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 6: to not be with the team this year.

1582
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Scott, thanks for stopping by. We always appreciate that you

1583
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: have to come in some morning when you're downtown, have

1584
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: you It'll be fun all right getting that.

1585
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 3: I appreciate you waking up for the show. You can

1586
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 3: do it from you from home. I think Mark Dyton

1587
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 3: wakes him up.

1588
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Thanks Scott, you bet, thank you? There you go? Yeah

1589
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: that that little laugh set everything, didn't it?

1590
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1591
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 3: Ain't no bad sounded like Kawhi Leonard laugh at his

1592
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 3: open Yeah.

1593
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: Nothing's like Kawhi Leonard of that that press cars. That's

1594
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the best. That is the best, all right. Coming up

1595
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: in a moment, bombshell report out of the Washington Post

1596
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: about the final years of the life of Jim Mersay

1597
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: and how it was was riddled with apparently a doctor

1598
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 1: give him a lot of opioids and things of that nature, ketamine,

1599
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: And we've got a response from the family for the

1600
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 1: first time this morning. WTHR got one of those. We'll

1601
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: talk about it next as we continue on ninety three

1602
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: five and one oh seven five. The Fan, I hope

1603
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: you're doing well this morning. It is Thursday. The Indianapolis

1604
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: Colts had their press conference, their annual press conference with

1605
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard after the announcement of their fifty three man

1606
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: roster following waiver pickups. Waiver claims those kinds of things

1607
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: and putting a practice squad together, but that's not our focus.

1608
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: All of a sudden this morning here at ninety three

1609
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: five and one o seven five, the fan James you

1610
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: had had mentioned earlier you saw on your feed and

1611
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: brought up the fact that there's a very long piece

1612
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: in the Washington Post this morning that details the final

1613
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: few years and months of the life of jim Irsay,

1614
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: and it paints a picture of opioid and ketamine addiction

1615
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and one of those luxury doctors that was all too

1616
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: willing to help him out with that stuff down towards

1617
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: the end.

1618
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, very thorough report, and I would certainly encourage you all,

1619
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 2: if you're interested, of course, to read that after our show.

1620
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 2: But from what I've gathered so far, it is a

1621
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 2: very thorough report and it kind of just speaks to

1622
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 2: what we I think all know if you have struggled,

1623
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 2: or if you know somebody in your life we have

1624
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 2: struggle with addiction, is that it is a lifelong thing.

1625
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:38,719
Speaker 3: It is something that you have to take serious.

1626
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:43,480
Speaker 2: And I, personally what extend a lot of grace toward

1627
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 2: jim Irsay or others who might have gone through those

1628
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 2: types of things.

1629
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 1: I would agree I find the whole thing incredibly sad,

1630
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: and I also angered a little bit by the fact

1631
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: that there are people like this doctor out there that

1632
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: will continue to give addicts what they need in a

1633
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: way that just shouldn't happen. I mean, I'm more angry

1634
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: at that at the doctors than anything else.

1635
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely want to make sure I go through

1636
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 3: and and read it pretty thoroughly before I comment to

1637
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 3: too much, but certainly echo the addiction aspect of it.

1638
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 3: It's it's horrifying to see what what can happen to

1639
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 3: people that are battling that, and you know, unfortunately it

1640
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 3: was something that lived with Jim irsay for obviously his

1641
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 3: his entire life, and you know, I think we all

1642
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 3: could see the lack of public appearances from him in

1643
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 3: the final couple of years of his life. There was

1644
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: a ton going on behind the scenes, and you know

1645
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 3: the overdoses that this article reports of, and that you

1646
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 3: know late in that twenty twenty three calendar year, we

1647
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 3: remember that, you know, the nine to one one call

1648
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:51,639
Speaker 3: from his home and Carmel all of that. So yeah,

1649
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 3: it's very very detailed here, and you know, I think

1650
01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 3: some of this generally you don't almost read it and

1651
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, that doesn't like shock me, you know

1652
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: when you read some of that, sadly, because again a

1653
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 3: guy that is wanting to be so front facing and

1654
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 3: out there in the public, and you know, think about it,

1655
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 3: that twenty twenty three season had the biggest game inside

1656
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 3: of Lucas Oil Stadium, and you know, maybe ten years,

1657
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 3: eight years something like that, and he wasn't there. You know,

1658
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 3: that probably told you everything you needed to know about

1659
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 3: where he was from a health standpoint. So, you know,

1660
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 3: continue thoughts the with the Erste family and losing their dad.

1661
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Well, hear this over and over again too, and it

1662
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: comes to mind. You think of the Michael Jackson situation,

1663
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: you think of the Matthew Perry situation, and I'm not

1664
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: completely clear on the details of the print situation, but

1665
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I think it was kind of like that too. And

1666
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,719
Speaker 1: now Jim Rsey that they find these quote unquote luxury

1667
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: doctors that are willing to prescribe them the opioids and

1668
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: the ketamine and knowing that these guys are addicted to it,

1669
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: I see no possible positive outcome from any of that,

1670
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: and I hope that they all get what's coming to him.

1671
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, James.

1672
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no opinion on that because it hasn't

1673
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 2: been brought forth legally, so I will just read the

1674
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:07,759
Speaker 2: story and.

1675
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 1: God just my general opinion on those kinds of things

1676
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: that happen is what I'm saying.

1677
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't have an opinion on it.

1678
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: I do want to read some of the statement that

1679
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: the Ursay family did put out. We continue to greet

1680
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: the loss of our data man defined not only by

1681
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: his role as owner of the Cults, but also by

1682
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: his resilience, his personal struggles, and his deep love for family, friends,

1683
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: and community. Throughout his life, our dad was open about

1684
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: his battles with addiction and mental health. He never claimed

1685
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: to be perfect. Instead, he used his voice to reduce

1686
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:43,520
Speaker 1: stigma and advocate for those facing similar challenges with the honesty, vulnerability,

1687
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 1: and compassion. We understand the public interest in his life

1688
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 1: and legacy. While we respect the role of responsible journalism,

1689
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: we declined to comment on the allegations in your inquiry.

1690
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: This is what they said to the Post initially. The

1691
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,959
Speaker 1: media is not the place to address inquiries about information

1692
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: which is disputed, lacks of essential context, or involves private

1693
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: and medical matters. Our focus remains on honoring our dad's legacy,

1694
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: his decades of philanthropy, his loyalty to the Cults and

1695
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: its fans, and his passion for mental health, advocacy, music

1696
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: and second chances. So again, story in the Washington Post

1697
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: this morning quite lengthy if you had a chance to

1698
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: read the whole thing yet.

1699
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 2: James, I have not been alive on near with you all,

1700
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: but I have been reading through it, and certainly we'll

1701
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 2: probably read through it a couple of times to make

1702
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 2: sure that I just understand the scope of what's going

1703
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 2: on and what they reported. And I do believe and

1704
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 2: obviously we know the merit of the Washington Post and

1705
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 2: where they kind of stand in the journalism world. So

1706
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 2: when they report something, it has certainly been vetted thoroughly.

1707
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 3: Get enough for the Boss tea shirts, I believe on

1708
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 3: every seat. Speaking of honoring Jim Mersey week one, he'll

1709
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 3: go in the Ring of Honor. That's part of a

1710
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 3: week from Sunday inside of Lucas Oil Stadium, and I

1711
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 3: believe every person in attendance will get those T shirts there.

1712
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 3: That's say for the Boss and James. You know, when

1713
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 3: we've been around the Colts here for the last few weeks,

1714
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 3: I mean there's at least a player or a staff

1715
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 3: member somebody seemingly every day is wearing something related to

1716
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 3: the Jim RSA. Yeah, as rocks the j I have

1717
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 3: the segnature. I see the weightlifting shirt A lot with

1718
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 3: guys in the locker room of Jim Mercy back in

1719
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 3: his weightlifting days there. So yeah, in in different ways, certainly,

1720
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 3: they are trying to continue to live on his legacy

1721
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 3: and honor him.

1722
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: So that's what's going on this morning, and we will

1723
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: continue to talk about the Coltspitzel. So we've got college

1724
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 1: football tonight, guys, college football t big time college football,

1725
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: Top twenty five matchup. Boise State's going to be involved,

1726
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: but throughout the entire weekend. I think, Kevin, you're aware

1727
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: that there's a bunch of top twenty five games coming

1728
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: up this weekend, are you not?

1729
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? I yes, I can't wait. I think it's one

1730
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 3: of the best opening weekends frankly we've ever had. But

1731
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys came across yet the

1732
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 3: leak Horso ESPN trip Have you ever seen that yet?

1733
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 3: I did online there, Yeah, so I think I assume

1734
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 3: they will play that during College Game Day coming up

1735
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So the final college game Day with Lee Corso.

1736
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 3: What a legend Ohio State and Texas And basically I

1737
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 3: won't give too many details, but to summarize the tribute video,

1738
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 3: they did pretty much a video montage with Lee in

1739
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 3: a theater kind of dim lights, picture him in a

1740
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 3: theater watching said montage video, and it begins with, you know,

1741
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 3: all these major college football people in the video just

1742
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 3: basically saying thank you to him for the first two

1743
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 3: three minutes. Actually, I one of the things I was

1744
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 3: struck by was Brian Kelly had a comment where one

1745
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 3: thing he loved, one of the many things he loved

1746
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 3: about Lee Corso was Lee always wanted to be on

1747
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 3: the sidelines watching games. It's funny. I can't tell you

1748
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 3: how many times I remember watching the college football game

1749
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:52,640
Speaker 3: and you know, player gets tackled on the sidelines and

1750
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's Courso there. He is, like watching the

1751
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 3: game from the sidelines. You know, if he wanted to,

1752
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 3: he could probably be up there in some very nice,

1753
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 3: sweet situation, you know, closed booth and controlled climate. But

1754
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 3: the coach and him always wanted to be on the sideline.

1755
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 3: So you had I think Andrew Luck what made a cameo.

1756
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 3: Drew Brees had a cameo saying one of the goals

1757
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 3: when he was at Purdue was to get him to

1758
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 3: put on the Purdue Pete hat, which Corso did one time.

1759
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 3: Then it goes to his children and his grandchildren, and

1760
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 3: this is when Lee gets very, very emotional. And then

1761
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 3: it ends with kirkurb Street really just bawling, frankly.

1762
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: And it came almost like the sun to him.

1763
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 3: Right in kind of the final thirty forty five seconds.

1764
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 3: And you know, if anybody has watched College Game Day lately,

1765
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 3: tragically it's kind of turned into Yeah, herb Street is

1766
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,599
Speaker 3: kind of helping Lee through the show. Is almost how

1767
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 3: I have observed it over the years, which is hard

1768
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 3: to watch, frankly. But then the lights come on and

1769
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 3: Kirk kurb Street is in the theater with Corso and

1770
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 3: they just have a heartfelt and Lee just says thank

1771
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 3: you to him. So I assume they will play that

1772
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 3: video coming up during College Game Day on Saturday. But yeah,

1773
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 3: I mean three top ten games speaks for itself. But honestly,

1774
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 3: watching Game Day one final time with Corso something that

1775
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 3: I can't wait.

1776
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll talk about all that coming up at

1777
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,560
Speaker 1: a moment. Tom Dinert stops by as we continue on

1778
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: a Thursday morning at ninety three five one oh seven.

1779
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: Here we are fully of the week one. The college

1780
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,240
Speaker 1: football season got a top twenty five matchup later on tonight,

1781
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: A couple of three what three top ten matchups coming

1782
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: up over the weekend. Kevin Bowen, I'm looking forward to it.

1783
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: IU gets back on the field, Perdue gets back on

1784
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 1: the field, and I cannot wait. We go to the

1785
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Payless Liquers hotline right now we talk to our next

1786
01:26:35,800 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: guest who knows all about these things. Tom Deanert from

1787
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: monthree dot com kind enough to join us here on

1788
01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: the Fan Morning Show. It is that time of year.

1789
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Are you ready for some football? My friend?

1790
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 9: I am c the what Hank Williams Junior. I guess

1791
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 9: so much speculation, conjecture, what ifs talk talk talk? We're

1792
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 9: finding gonna see some action here, So I can't wait

1793
01:26:57,720 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 9: for high on Saturdy Oben ross A.

1794
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Tom, if you don't mind, I kind of want to

1795
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 3: go into the Devin Mockaby story. I was talking to

1796
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:06,760
Speaker 3: one of my buddies, is a big Purdue football fan

1797
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 3: the other day. I had almost forgotten that maccabee stayed.

1798
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 3: You know, so much of the team is obviously gone,

1799
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 3: and so much of the headline guys went to. Frankly,

1800
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 3: some Marquis schools in the transfer portal. If we haven't

1801
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 3: maybe been glued to the maccaby story over the years.

1802
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 3: Why has he chosen to stay through all of this,

1803
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 3: because I think a lot of athletes in his position

1804
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 3: in today's world of college football would have been gone.

1805
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, we sort of taken for granted at this point,

1806
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,759
Speaker 9: all the drama, all the roster tumult that took place

1807
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 9: after the season their said Devin Mockaby right with waiting

1808
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 9: patiently see the head coach was going to be no

1809
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:51,440
Speaker 9: hasty moves and had to sit down with with coqotam

1810
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 9: and and I tell you that we asked him about

1811
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 9: this over the winner and I think even shortly after

1812
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 9: he decided he was going to stay, was he really

1813
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 9: wants a Predue engineering degree. I think he's sincere about that.

1814
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 9: And if you talk to him at all, you know

1815
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 9: he's really into his car mechanics and uh and it

1816
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 9: came to PU to be an engineer, and he wants

1817
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 9: to be a Purdue engineer. So I think that's a

1818
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 9: big part of it. I think he realizes the legacy

1819
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 9: he's guy here too. With a good season, I think

1820
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 9: close to twelve hundred yards rushing could leave here as

1821
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 9: all time leadion Rusher. So you know, it's setting up

1822
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 9: well for Devin Mockaby. He's become a beloved figure. I'll

1823
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 9: be honest with you, just because he did decide to stay. Well,

1824
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 9: so many players left you're talking about will help going

1825
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 9: to Clemson, you know, and just on and one ago

1826
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 9: it's dealing theme and going out to Oregon and uh.

1827
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 9: But but you know what, Devin Mockaby stayed and he

1828
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 9: has a chance to be the centerpiece of this offense

1829
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 9: this year.

1830
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I feel like that is proof

1831
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 3: that God has favorites.

1832
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Because you're telling me you're playing Big ten football and

1833
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 2: you want to get an engineering degree.

1834
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 3: What do you mean like they one or the other?

1835
01:28:56,200 --> 01:29:00,839
Speaker 2: Young man football exactly? Know that is that is awesome

1836
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 2: And so I do want to pivot a bit here too.

1837
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: You know, got a new coach in town. How has

1838
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,600
Speaker 2: Barry Odom sort of injected a sense of confidence or

1839
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 2: a certain standard with this team? Because we know obviously

1840
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna be judged by wins and losses. So in

1841
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 2: his mind or what'd you been able to gather what

1842
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 2: do you think will define success for this team this year?

1843
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 9: You know, if you believe las Vegas. I think the

1844
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 9: over under win total was three and a half for Purdue.

1845
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 9: It probably sounds about the spot on, honestly, three and nine,

1846
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,800
Speaker 9: four and eight, But and in a lot of ways,

1847
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 9: I'm not sure you can totally judge the team just

1848
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 9: on the win total. I know that sounds silly to

1849
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 9: say that's really what matters at the end of the day,

1850
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 9: But given what produce is coming off of, I think

1851
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 9: that one and eleventh season not just a one and

1852
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 9: eleven season, but a disastrous one and eleven season, and

1853
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,799
Speaker 9: solt for do not to lose, but often losing spectacular fashion.

1854
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 9: So get your wins, get your three to four wins,

1855
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 9: but also be competitive, right, don't don't embarrass the university.

1856
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 9: Look organized, look buttoned up, look well co especially against

1857
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 9: your peer programs, right. I mean, you're gonna have Misigan,

1858
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:07,639
Speaker 9: Ohio State the heavyweights, and Notre Dame Piers not gonna

1859
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 9: have much of a chance to match up with. But

1860
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 9: the other peer programs, that's for peer's got to show

1861
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 9: the stuff, be competitive and win some of those games too.

1862
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: Tom Dianar joining us on the payless Liquers hotline. Right now,

1863
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 1: what would you say a successful season for Purdue would

1864
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: look like at the end of the year.

1865
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, again, a lot of that. Uh what I recap?

1866
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 9: I think you know, I'm a win loss standpoint three

1867
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 9: and nine, four and eight. You know, these first two games.

1868
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,560
Speaker 9: You hate to call the first two games of a

1869
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 9: season must win games, but I'm gonna go in and

1870
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 9: call them must win games for Purdue. They got ball

1871
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:43,599
Speaker 9: staying here Saturday, and then they've got seven Illinois coming

1872
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 9: in the next week for a night game. Per's got

1873
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 9: to win both those games. You need the momentum, we

1874
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 9: need the confidence. You need the wins because the lifting

1875
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 9: gets a lot heavier from there on out. You know,

1876
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 9: USC comes here, so pre opens are three home games

1877
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 9: and the Trojans coming. Guys, that could be very a fun,

1878
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 9: interesting game, right produced two and oh here comes do

1879
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,600
Speaker 9: I see all the way from the West Coast to

1880
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 9: Westlafia for a three o'clock kickoff. We on on Lincoln

1881
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 9: rallies on the hot seat. We on a lot of

1882
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 9: times the West Coast teams struggle. I'm an East so

1883
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 9: I'm not saying it, but you never know. It could

1884
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,639
Speaker 9: be kind of a fun afternoon. But again, you gotta

1885
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 9: be two and no I mean, look at the rest

1886
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,640
Speaker 9: of the schedule, right, they have Rutgers for homecoming. I

1887
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 9: think that's when you probably get there. At Northwestern, I

1888
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 9: think that's why probably has to win as well. And

1889
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 9: you know Indiana, Illinois and now so on the top

1890
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 9: twenty five teams, they got to go to Minnesota, that's stuff.

1891
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 9: You got to go to Washington to play Ryan Walters.

1892
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 9: That could be tough. So I think I see upwards

1893
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,560
Speaker 9: to four winds on now on that roster, if I

1894
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,559
Speaker 9: if I look closely enough and squint my eyes.

1895
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 3: Tom d Hart, the voice right there on the Paylos

1896
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 3: Stickers hot line covering Purdue for on three, Tom, I

1897
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,839
Speaker 3: think you know a large chunk of our audience certainly

1898
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 3: recalls the Tyler Trent story. It was one of the

1899
01:31:57,040 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 3: more moving stories that we've seen here locally and quite

1900
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 3: some time. Obviously, everything around that Ohio State game and

1901
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 3: then sadly died of bone cancer that next year. But

1902
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 3: that story seems to be again alive with his brother,

1903
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:16,560
Speaker 3: Ethan Trent, who I believe is going to start on

1904
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,240
Speaker 3: the offensive line for the Boilers. Could you share a

1905
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,240
Speaker 3: little bit more on that story.

1906
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 9: Unbelievable and then just incredible that Tyler Trent's story has

1907
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 9: another chapter to it. Here comes Ethan Trent. Do you

1908
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 9: guys remember back in twenty eighteen they brought Tyler up

1909
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 9: to football games and there was this kind of little

1910
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 9: chubby kid pushing Ethan in the wheelchair, sorry, pushing Tyler

1911
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,280
Speaker 9: in the wheelchairs. It was Ethan Trent. And now he's

1912
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:45,480
Speaker 9: your full grown obviously a red shirt, red shirt sophomore's

1913
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 9: third year Purdue committed to Indiana State out of Carmel,

1914
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 9: got to walk on offer to Produce who came here

1915
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 9: and this is his third year on campus, and you're right,

1916
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 9: he's he's going to start a right guard. I'm pretty

1917
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 9: sure of that, and just not just a blossoming football player,

1918
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 9: but just just a great young man. We had a

1919
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 9: chance to talk to him several times. We did again yesterday,

1920
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 9: and I'm just blown away. Guys, for somebody to be

1921
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 9: so young and seeming to be so mature and and

1922
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 9: have their life and order just really impresses me when

1923
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 9: I think whereund when I think where I was at

1924
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 9: as a twenty year old to produce, So he's gonna

1925
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 9: be a fun guy to watch. Number seventy six, and

1926
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,200
Speaker 9: you're gonna hear that story be told every time produce

1927
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 9: on television a million times. Ethan said he at first

1928
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 9: he kind of shrinked from that, wanting to be in

1929
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 9: the spotlight because of it. He says, now he embraces it.

1930
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 9: So it's gonna be fun of watching him this year

1931
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 9: and continue to hear his story.

1932
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, to kind of pickyback off of that. I'm reading

1933
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:42,679
Speaker 2: the quote here from him and you're in the story

1934
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 2: by your colleague Dub Jealouson and he was saying, how

1935
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 2: you know he felt a bit ashamed. He says, I

1936
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 2: was ashamed because I just didn't want to be in

1937
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,640
Speaker 2: his shadow while I was here. In a way, that

1938
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:56,720
Speaker 2: is a lot of pressure for a young person to

1939
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 2: face when your brother is such a prominent figure for

1940
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 2: positive reasons, obviously, but you want to be your own person.

1941
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 2: So how have you seen him kind of you know,

1942
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:09,320
Speaker 2: maybe not carry that grief is like a like a

1943
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 2: like a tag or something like that in a way.

1944
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 2: Obviously it's always there, But how have you seen him

1945
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, come in life and be his

1946
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,679
Speaker 2: own person and maybe not have to be the first

1947
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 2: thing come in to mind people think of him.

1948
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 9: I think just I think it comes from from the

1949
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 9: way he carries himself.

1950
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 8: You know, he.

1951
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,560
Speaker 9: He's growing up obviously. I think he's realized, you know,

1952
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 9: the hea can do your notch as a football player.

1953
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 9: But and then other aspects of his life as well.

1954
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 9: So and he, like I said, he's a kid that

1955
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 9: and then it has all this priority priorities strand I

1956
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 9: know he's a very popular teammate as well. It was

1957
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 9: a lot of fun to spring to see him get

1958
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 9: rewarded a scholarship by Barry old I mean he and

1959
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 9: Ethan Trent sort of the count on a story for

1960
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 9: us when when Olden first got here, he wanted to

1961
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 9: sit down meeting with with with Burial and just just

1962
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,400

1963
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 9: want is a chance. Let me show you what I

1964
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 9: can do. And barryms that kind of guy, and here

1965
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 9: we are. He earns a scholarship in the spring, and

1966
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 9: now we've been transpoised to start on the offensive line

1967
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 9: on saddling.

1968
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Outstanding story, outstanding stuff. And we look forward to the

1969
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,040

01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:33,439
Speaker 1: there are some interesting storylines for Purdue this year. How

1975
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: much better can they get and how quickly can they

1976
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:36,719
Speaker 1: get those to those strides?

1977
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 2: James, Yeah, I'm looking forward to Tom covering a loss

1978
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 2: for the Purdue moiler Makers against Illinois Saturday, October fourth,

1979
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 2: Which isn't big talk.

1980
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, stopping you're going?

1981
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 3: How is that trash talk at too? He's gonna be

1982
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 3: favored by like three or four touchdowns. I'm just saying,

1983
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 3: he's saying Indiana's taking an l.

1984
01:35:56,160 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 2: Mark is getting the belt put on them. Everybody, and

1985
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 2: you can't name five guys that play, That's not the point.

1986
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 2: I can name five bills I get from them monthly.

1987
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 2: But no, I am excited. In all seriousness, I think

1988
01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 2: the story of you know, Ethan Trent is one where

1989
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:15,759
Speaker 2: you can certainly have a lot of respect and amoration

1990
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 2: for a kid that's been through a lot and obviously

1991
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 2: has built a name for himself and build up up

1992
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 2: to being a good football player. Because I don't care

1993
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: what team it is in the Big Ten, if you're starting,

1994
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: you can play football at a pretty high level.

1995
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,879
Speaker 5: Jills Boyd a school of journalism that should be at Champagne,

1996
01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:30,600
Speaker 5: Illinois right now.

1997
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, how he builds you go?

1998
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 2: You know, I'm thinking about going back Mark and I'm

1999
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 2: gonna look around and be like, oh, these buildings should

2000
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 2: be named after me.

2001
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 3: I still cannot believe this. CBS Sports mock Draft and

2002
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 3: Mike Renner is a name that, like, I definitely know

2003
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,799
Speaker 3: in the draft community. This is not just some random

2004
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 3: dude that puts out mock drafts, but he puts out

2005
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 3: one yesterday that has Indiana quarterback for Nando Mendoza going

2006
01:36:55,560 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 3: number one overall in the twenty twenty six mock draft.

2007
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 3: Here he writes this, Mendoza feels like the best fit

2008
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 3: of the bunch. He's got the Browns with the number

2009
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 3: one pick. No shock there for Kevin Stefanski. He's got

2010
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 3: a plus NFL arm paired with quick decision making, tight

2011
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 3: window accuracy. He'll get a chance to shine on a

2012
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 3: bigger stage this year in Indiana after carrying Cal the

2013
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:20,599
Speaker 3: past two seasons. Render doesn't write this, but Mendoza six

2014
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 3: five two twenty five, and by all accounts, the guy

2015
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 3: can scoot a little bit. Here so there's that element

2016
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 3: to his game. I just what a time to be alive?

2017
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 3: Where how cool would that IU football has a guy

2018
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 3: that's being mocked number one overall And I'm sure this

2019
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 3: time last year you could show me like a Riley

2020
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,120
Speaker 3: Leonard mocked in the first round of a draft. So

2021
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 3: I get that it's a little bit crazy, But wasn't

2022
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 3: that the definition of AU football last year? I mean,

2023
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 3: the IU football story last year is one of the

2024
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 3: greatest college stories you'll ever see. The most losing program

2025
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 3: in college football history, bringing in this cocky, brash coach

2026
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 3: and all of his you know JMU dudes and just

2027
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 3: thrashing team after team after team and making the playoffs.

2028
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if they do it two years in

2029
01:38:12,600 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 1: a round?

2030
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 4: Now?

2031
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:16,560
Speaker 1: I know, can you imagine mark Indiana football in the

2032
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 1: college football playoff two consecutive seasons?

2033
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,799
Speaker 5: Be something I don't think I've ever seen in my lifetime.

2034
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 5: That would be nice to see that constant success for

2035
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 5: IU football, which has not existed.

2036
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:31,840
Speaker 3: And again Nick Saban voice, are you a program? That's

2037
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 3: the question?

2038
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 6: Now?

2039
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 3: Was it the one hit wonder or are you a program?

2040
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:36,600
Speaker 8: No?

2041
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:38,920
Speaker 3: A At the end of that build, if you want

2042
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 3: to go back a few years. You do your Sabing voice, Mark,

2043
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 3: come on now.

2044
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,680
Speaker 5: Built a program. I got my doctor Prepper right here.

2045
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 5: We're going ou out Wooden football games. That's what we're

2046
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:48,200
Speaker 5: gonna do.

2047
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 3: Twenty two and a half, twenty three and a half

2048
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,240
Speaker 3: point favorite Indiana over Old Dominion coming up Saturday afternoon.

2049
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see because we've seen a

2050
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 1: couple of years of recent success. I know that they

2051
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: that Tom Allen was never really able to build on

2052
01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: that one exciting year when when everybody was getting excited

2053
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 1: about IU and that didn't happen. But I think we're

2054
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: learning now that with what with Tom Allen did that

2055
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 1: one year and granted it's only one year for Kurtzignetty,

2056
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 1: but it is possible to find success at Indiana at

2057
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: this point.

2058
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 3: Well, and from an alumni based standpoint, From an nil

2059
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 3: I mean, by all accounts for Nana Mendoza is making

2060
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 3: a healthy chunk of change, probably close to three million dollars.

2061
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: So you know, I say he does no bills to

2062
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 1: Illinois is what you're saying.

2063
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 3: Probably not so I think I use got some funding

2064
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 3: if they're able to, you know, create solid ground here

2065
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 3: and stretch it a couple of more years. Getting back

2066
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 3: to the Chris Boward thing for a second, James, I

2067
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 3: know you're going to scoot over to a Colt's practice

2068
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 3: here coming up at ten am the Alex Smith comp.

2069
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:47,960
Speaker 3: If we had a drinking game yesterday and you had

2070
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 3: Alex Smith on your bingo board, you might be hungover

2071
01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 3: till Saturday with how many Alex Smith name drops we got. Honestly,

2072
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 3: Chris Baward used him in referenced to Anthony Richardson as

2073
01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,639
Speaker 3: long term and short term for Daniel Jones. Alex Smith

2074
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 3: got a lot of love yesterday from the Colt GM,

2075
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 3: which more is realistic Alex Smith in the short term

2076
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 3: being applicable to Daniel Jones, or Alex Smith in the

2077
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:15,800
Speaker 3: long term being applicable to Anthony Richardson. That's a great question.

2078
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 2: It might be the latter, assuming that Anthony would then

2079
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 2: change franchises. But to be fair at a ballad, I

2080
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 2: had to go back and look the two thousand and

2081
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 2: five to five but two thousand and five and he

2082
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 2: was benched multiple times early in his career, and ultimately

2083
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 2: they got a coaching change in there and they were

2084
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 2: able to go to the playoffs years after he had

2085
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 2: been drafted as the number one quarterback, so he found

2086
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 2: success there after being benched multiple times. So there is

2087
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 2: an example there of it kind of working out with

2088
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 2: the same franchise. And I even went back further Kevin

2089
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 2: where the only other one I could find, And again

2090
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 2: there is no official like statless for this, but Terry

2091
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 2: Bradshaw was the other one I found that was and

2092
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm one pick I believe back in nineteen seventy that

2093
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 2: bitch multiple times as a rookie early in his career

2094
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 2: and obviously went on to win four Super Bowls, Hall

2095
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 2: of Fame career, YadA, YadA, yadas. So those are the

2096
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 2: two that I found, Alex Smith and Terry Bradshaw, where

2097
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 2: a player that was drafted that high at that position

2098
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 2: was bench twice early on with that franchise, and it

2099
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 2: still worked out with the same team. But obviously two

2100
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 2: times in the last fifty years probably isn't the greatest

2101
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 2: track record for Anthony, but that's why I think if

2102
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 2: it were to work out, most times, as we've seen,

2103
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 2: especially as of late, it's usually with a different team.

2104
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:38,559
Speaker 2: So I would go with Anthony and the Alex Smith

2105
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,640
Speaker 2: comp the second time with him moving on.

2106
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd probably go the reverse. I'd probably go and

2107
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 3: not love me be very clear, I don't think either

2108
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 3: are very likely. But if I had to pick one

2109
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 3: or the other, I'd probably picked Daniel Jones in the

2110
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 3: short term. I mean you just pointed out two times

2111
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 3: in fifty years. Yeah, that to me, just said that

2112
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 3: was almost a drop of the Mike moment.

2113
01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:59,880
Speaker 2: And if Anthony moved on to a different teams at

2114
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 2: rates a little bit higher, I would think if that happens,

2115
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 2: But yeah.

2116
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 3: You know, if you want to, And we talked about

2117
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 3: this a little bit earlier in the show. In all

2118
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 3: likely though, this is the best skill group that Daniel

2119
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 3: Jones has had in his NFL career by far. Yeah,

2120
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 3: I mean any offensive line.

2121
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 2: So even though they've made changes Kevin, I still think

2122
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 2: he probably has a better chance. I mean, the guy

2123
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 2: got sacked one of those years. It might have been

2124
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 2: like eighty times.

2125
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 3: So that aspect to me thinks, Okay, if Gardner Minshew

2126
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 3: was a throwaway from getting the Colts in the playoffs,

2127
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 3: could Daniel Jones do that? Yeah, I mean like that

2128
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 3: to me seems plausible, more plausible than the Anthony richards

2129
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones comp. Because when you get into an

2130
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 3: excuse me to Alex Smith Anthony Richardson comp. When you

2131
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 3: get into that aspect to it. Again, I've said this

2132
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 3: before about Anthony Richardson, and there's nobody to say it

2133
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 3: without it coming as off as harsh. He's never played

2134
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 3: good football in his career. For longer than a month,

2135
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 3: Alex Smith was a Heisman Trophy finalist. Did you guys

2136
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,759
Speaker 3: remember Alex with at Utah there's original number, was balling

2137
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:07,600
Speaker 3: that final season the Fiesta Bowl when all of it.

2138
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: He's also a guy I point out as I covered

2139
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:11,760
Speaker 1: that Utah team, I was in Salt Lake City and

2140
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 1: I got to know, believe it or not, Urban Meyer

2141
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: and and Alex a little bit on the periphery there

2142
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: just being around him every week. Incredibly smart dude too,

2143
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 1: and mentally tough. I mean, as we saw when it

2144
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: has comeback from that incredibly for sure, harsh broken leg,

2145
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: but that a lot. Got graduated with an engineering degree

2146
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: in three years. I think it was engineering whatever the

2147
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: degree was, three year But point my point is that

2148
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:39,639
Speaker 1: not only was he balling and was a Heisman candidate,

2149
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 1: but there was this mental fortitude about him that if

2150
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: you were around him, you started a sense and no,

2151
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: and just he was a guy I always talk about

2152
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 1: loving the game of football, like if there, I can't

2153
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,719
Speaker 1: even imagine doing anything else with my life. Ever, Alex

2154
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: Smith was also one of those guys early in his

2155
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: career too.

2156
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 3: And Chris Ballard I think indirectly hit on that several

2157
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 3: different times yesterday. So again, I don't think and I'll

2158
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 3: just add one more point to it again. If I

2159
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,559
Speaker 3: had to pick, you know, Smith in the short term

2160
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 3: for Daniel Jones or Smith in the long term, Ranthey Richardson,

2161
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,839
Speaker 3: I would pick the short term. But what did Kansas

2162
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 3: City do? They realized there was a ceiling there and

2163
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 3: they traded up from twenty seven to ten to draft

2164
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. So or twenty seven twelve I think it was.

2165
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that is a huge trade up to get

2166
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 3: away from Alex Smith, to realize, hey, at some point

2167
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 3: we need a dude at quarterback, not just a whatever.

2168
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 1: He makes a really good quarterback in the NFL.

2169
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 3: He was not your I would say he was a

2170
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:47,719
Speaker 3: good quarterback. I don't want to give it a little

2171
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 3: bit more than that.

2172
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: I go short of being when I think of like Mahomes,

2173
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: Jackson Allen. Those are great quarterbacks I think, and and look,

2174
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 1: even a couple of those guys still have to get

2175
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: further than where they've gotten. But my point is he

2176
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,200
Speaker 1: was a core back that if you had everything else

2177
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:02,880
Speaker 1: on your team, you're like, yeah, that guy can take us.

2178
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 9: Yeah.

2179
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 3: So I guess I just bring that up to say,

2180
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:07,640
Speaker 3: even if Daniel Jones reaches an Alex Smith type of

2181
01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:11,280
Speaker 3: Kansas City year for you, you still have to look

2182
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,680
Speaker 3: very long and hard into the mayor and say, you

2183
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 3: know what those quarterbacks get you where if our goal

2184
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 3: is the top of the mountain top and to me,

2185
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 3: that means Fernandal Mendoz In the twenty twenty sixth draft,

2186
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 3: according to Mike Greenner, number one pick Indiana University Football.

2187
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 1: Let's hope and hope it goes that way. Mark, Let's

2188
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:33,719
Speaker 1: check it down.

2189
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 4: The Morning Checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

2190
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 4: seven five the fan.

2191
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,400
Speaker 1: For just joining us. We've been talking about this all

2192
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 1: morning long. Chris Ballard meeting with the media as he

2193
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 1: does every year after the Colts get through their waivers

2194
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 1: claims and get to a fifty three man roster that

2195
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 1: they believe is going to be the real deal going

2196
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: into week one. Most of yesterday's conversation though, with the

2197
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: media was all about Anthony Richardson and what is his

2198
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: story moving forward and why Daniel Jones now? And what

2199
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:04,439
Speaker 1: else did you take away from that?

2200
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 2: That they believe in essence that they can win now

2201
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 2: with Daniel Jones and somewhere down the line they could

2202
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:16,960
Speaker 2: win with Anthony Richardson. I just think that those two

2203
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 2: competing timelines are kind of hard to sell either quarterback

2204
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 2: on long term but also this fan base.

2205
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it shakes up.

2206
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 2: But ultimately, like Chris Baller said, my biggest takeaway Jeff

2207
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:28,880
Speaker 2: is that he was like, if you win, people believe.

2208
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:29,280
Speaker 1: He don't.

2209
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 3: They don't believe. Simple that's true.

2210
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 1: And like I said, you got those first three weeks right.

2211
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 1: You're playing two teams that you were battling for playoff

2212
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 1: position with just a year ago, and then you have

2213
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: a division opponent that's been giving you fits. Kevin, you

2214
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 1: go two in one or he had forbidden let's hope

2215
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: three to zero. At that point in time, maybe people

2216
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 1: start to believe a little bit in the move right.

2217
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 3: Move the Manning statue to the back of Lucas and

2218
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 3: put the Daniel Jones statue out front. Let's go.

2219
01:46:54,280 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: Also yesterday a couple of roster moves. There were some

2220
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 1: waiver claims for the Colts after everybody else else got

2221
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:03,320
Speaker 1: down to their fifty three men rosters around the league.

2222
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just one waiver claim for the Colts. Three of

2223
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 3: their players did get claimed elsewhere. Chad Mumma right from Max.

2224
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:12,679
Speaker 3: I think I'm saying that right. He is the linebacker

2225
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 3: coming over, yes, from Jacksonville primarily special teams. But this

2226
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 3: gives them now five linebackers on the fifty three man roster.

2227
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 3: They did wave their six round pick, big fellow Tim

2228
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,120
Speaker 3: Smith out of Alabama the d tackle there. So eleven

2229
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 3: defensive lineman now becoming ten, which is makes some sence there.

2230
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 3: And again three of their guys claimed elsewhere. Juju Brentz

2231
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:35,639
Speaker 3: finds a home ironically in Miami, who the Colts play

2232
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 3: Week one. So the Colts are using Xavier Howard, former

2233
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 3: Dolphins corner. The Dolphins are I guess going to use

2234
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,799
Speaker 3: Juju Brent's former Colts corner here in a Week one matchup.

2235
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:49,919
Speaker 3: Jalannie Woods to the Jets and Samuel Wollmack, a cornerback

2236
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,680
Speaker 3: to the Tennessee Titans.

2237
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: Practice squad also named yesterday. Among the notables running backs

2238
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert, Ulysses Bentley, cornerback Chris Lawns, and wide receiver

2239
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 1: Coleman Owen. Wouldn't be surprised if any of those guys

2240
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: see a little bit of time depending on injuries this year.

2241
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 3: Yep, that's one of those running backs could play Week

2242
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:08,559
Speaker 3: one if.

2243
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 6: Tyler is not.

2244
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was not practicing yesterday officially, But we

2245
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 2: saw Tyler Goodson out there with his left elbow wrapped up,

2246
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 2: the one he dislocated. He was doing some running off

2247
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:22,000
Speaker 2: to the side, but still no official participation in practice

2248
01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 2: just yet.

2249
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: All right. We can also tell you major League Baseball,

2250
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 1: it's the end is getting close. I think for the

2251
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds. Kevin, you've already declared it over, but mathematically

2252
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 1: there's still a lot.

2253
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 3: But here come the red leg. What Evince Carter?

2254
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: Do you have to dump? Yeah?

2255
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 3: Could not apply more. Honestly, I thought Mark would have more.

2256
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: Abandon being a Reds fan? Are you going to abandon

2257
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 1: following this team?

2258
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 3: Well? Where are you gonna go?

2259
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 1: Well?

2260
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 4: Of it?

2261
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:51,640
Speaker 1: It was Uh, it was fun while it lasted.

2262
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,479
Speaker 3: Have a very high care factor and is burning out.

2263
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 3: All the change is that all you got over there?

2264
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 3: Keep going. I thought you had more, Mark I can.

2265
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean I have millions of audio shout out right

2266
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 3: here to doctor Ian Nelson. Thank you to Rick on

2267
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 3: Twitter for sharing this. We brought it up earlier in

2268
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:11,839
Speaker 3: the show. Homestead and Carol High School played an outdoor

2269
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:15,800
Speaker 3: volleyball match last night. The scenes were awesome. Gray Smith

2270
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,880
Speaker 3: from The Star, Brian what's his last name, James the

2271
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 3: Prep skuy Brian Heinschin wrote an article on it. Just

2272
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 3: such a cool scene up there in Fort Wayne. Basically

2273
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 3: they played the outdo a football game in Homestead's stadium,

2274
01:49:31,280 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 3: tons of people in the stands, all of that. But

2275
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,680
Speaker 3: Ian Nelson, I guess, is a doctor up there and

2276
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 3: his daughter's on the Homestead team, and he came up

2277
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:44,639
Speaker 3: with the original idea. Obviously, we've seen it collegiately out

2278
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 3: in Nebraska, which is certainly whatever the Alabama football if

2279
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 3: you will, for volleyball.

2280
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 1: So really cool.

2281
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 3: Saw the indig Nite mascot Pepper was up there and everything.

2282
01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 3: So what a fun night for high school sports up

2283
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:00,400
Speaker 3: there in the old or it was it two one

2284
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 3: nine in the four line.

2285
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh go look at those just go see them. Yeah,

2286
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:08,840
Speaker 1: it's good. Uh, college football later on tonight, not only

2287
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: locally here Marrion and you Indy going at it this evening,

2288
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:13,679
Speaker 1: right CoV correct.

2289
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:19,280
Speaker 3: Yes, that is a matchup that definitely we uh I

2290
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 3: think from a that level of football makes sense and

2291
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:24,679
Speaker 3: we haven't really seen it here lately, so that should

2292
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 3: be fun. Speaking of local football ties, you know, there's

2293
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 3: a lot of local guys that made a fifty three

2294
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,800
Speaker 3: men roster. Listener reached out earlier one of us to

2295
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 3: mention Jay Higgins from Buff he made the Ravens fifty

2296
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 3: three men roster. I know, if you guys saw these

2297
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 3: videos yesterday as Eric DeCosta their GM, I believe they

2298
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 3: had three undrafted guys make the team and they had

2299
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 3: kind of behind the scenes footage of him telling that

2300
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 3: and the Higgins one was really really cool seeing that.

2301
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 3: So some local ties. He was good, very good against

2302
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 3: the Colts in that preseason matchup there. So shout out

2303
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 3: to the pride of buff right there. Truly am the

2304
01:50:59,160 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 3: franchise here.

2305
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 5: JMV sucks at radio and at basketball really Rudkevin.

2306
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 3: Now you guys are laughing and you're acting like that's real. Mark.

2307
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 3: I think that you know, it should be met with

2308
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,760
Speaker 3: a explanation.

2309
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: But context from Mark decktonout.

2310
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 3: You know what, you sound like a hater to me,

2311
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 3: and as a hater myself, I respect it.

2312
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 1: I love me some me.

2313
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,960

01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:32,760
Speaker 3: you guys think that that sounds like me? You don't, James,

2315
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:35,000
Speaker 3: So I played that for my wife and she was

2316
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 3: so rattled. Really again, Jake Querry is due for another

2317
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 3: heart attack, and I'm pretty sure Jimmy Cook, that's just

2318
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 3: that sounds like AI. Yes it was Jason Hammer, who

2319
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,360
Speaker 3: will be joining us coming out here in football season

2320

Speaker 3: to deliver our picks on Thursdays. Yes, he created that

2321
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:58,679

01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: the auspices of AI.

2328
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 3: All I know is my boy Mark.

2329
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 2: He can say a lot of slick stuff because he's

2330
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:24,760

01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's uh, something will be to talking about

2343
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. But in the meantime we'll come back. We'll

2344
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,360
Speaker 1: reflect more on some of the things Chris Ballard said

2345
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:07,719
Speaker 1: you can hear from him himself in his own words.

2346
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 1: We might even let you get to know AI Kevin

2347
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 1: Bowen just a little bit more house as we continue,

2348
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 1: we will not ninety three five you didn't even know

2349
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:20,720
Speaker 1: this well. My wife and I were dating. We took

2350
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 1: a trip to my home stay, Colorado when we spent

2351
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: some time up in Aspen, Colorado, and we were having

2352
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 1: breakfast even though it was evening. I'm a big breakfast guy,

2353
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,640
Speaker 1: like at any time of the day, and there was

2354
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: this great little breakfast spot in the middle of Aspen

2355
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:34,640
Speaker 1: that we were in. It was like nine o'clock at

2356
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: night and we were almost the only two in there,

2357
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 1: and this song came over the loud speaker. It was

2358
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 1: so so you touched my heartstrings today, Buddy, about that.

2359
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 3: Mark Dykedon just put the record in the mood. Hell yeah, boy,

2360
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:48,680
Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm on this side of the desk and

2361
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:51,679
Speaker 3: sounds like it could be old babysitter night for the record,

2362
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:55,919
Speaker 3: household hair. I like that Mark on the Vanasa Carlton.

2363
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 3: Get the bacon and eggs.

2364
01:53:57,000 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 6: Mark.

2365
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 3: You just said right there, Jeff, one thing I could

2366
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,800
Speaker 3: not endorse more outside of Vanessa Carlton. Great, great tune.

2367
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:06,840
Speaker 3: I'm a big breakfast for dinner guy.

2368
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 1: Oh all the time, anytime. Twenty four.

2369
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 3: We did that earlier this week. Pick up ros you

2370
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 3: say from school. She is beaming, Daddy. We had breakfast

2371
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 3: for lunch today, rattling off sausage, pank you know everything.

2372
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:19,880
Speaker 3: She's asked me if we can have breakfast for dinner.

2373
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I don't know. We can go breakfast

2374
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,000
Speaker 3: for all three meals in one day. But I thought

2375
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 3: to myself, we got to whipping up eggs and bacon

2376
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 3: to any time, household.

2377
01:54:27,880 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 1: Anytime, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, biscuits.

2378
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 9: You name it.

2379
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm I love that's my Achilles Hill and comes to

2380
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:39,400
Speaker 1: my diet is all kinds of really good breakfast food.

2381
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 5: We did pancakes and eggs the other day for break

2382
01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 5: for dinner, and I was like, oh, this is amazing,

2383
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:44,640
Speaker 5: this is outstanding.

2384
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm an oatmeal guy. I like oatmeal anytime

2385
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:47,560
Speaker 1: in the day.

2386
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 3: I think that looks awful.

2387
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:49,839
Speaker 1: I like oatmeal.

2388
01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:51,840
Speaker 3: Now you lost me there.

2389
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 1: Now you put a little if you flavor it just

2390
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:56,560
Speaker 1: just right. Oatmeal is awesome.

2391
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:58,280
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts on prunes?

2392
01:54:59,080 --> 01:54:59,720
Speaker 1: Not a big fan?

2393
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 3: Okay, as a no oatmeal's oatmeal was an old man, DRNK.

2394
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:05,160
Speaker 5: I was starting to think about this mark since I

2395
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 5: was a kid. Oatmeal, Yeah, I'm a group Kevin. I

2396
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 5: oatmeal looks like something out of a diaper.

2397
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna get back into those, Like what the hell

2398
01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 3: are they called that you feed your baby? Like when

2399
01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:19,480
Speaker 3: you're starting to introduce them to solids, Oh, like the uh,

2400
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 3: theal or whatever it is. Yeah, and like but there's

2401
01:55:23,080 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 3: like not pouches, but you know, like you know, you

2402
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 3: spoon it in it's like the Gerber foods in the

2403
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 3: job Gerber Foods. Yeah, it shows you how long it's

2404
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 3: been since I've done that. I'm thinking myself. The flavor

2405
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 3: and the look of those things are some of the

2406
01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 3: just most disgusting things you can imagine. Am I the

2407
01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:43,720
Speaker 3: only guy that liked the flavor? Use that on Thanksgiving?

2408
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2409
01:55:44,120 --> 01:55:45,800
Speaker 3: No, thanks special occasions.

2410
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:47,840
Speaker 1: I like the vanilla pudding though, I would eat that

2411
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 1: every once in a while.

2412
01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:52,360
Speaker 5: Got the uh, there's yeah, some some stuff where I'm

2413
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 5: just like, I don't know. It was like spinach and like,

2414
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 5: I don't know. There's some stuff I'm like, why would

2415
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 5: I feed this to my child? I don't want to

2416
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 5: eat that, Like, why would I give it to the baby?

2417
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 6: No?

2418
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jeff. Do you think Chris Boward was uber

2419
01:56:03,320 --> 01:56:04,160
Speaker 3: defensive yesterday?

2420
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 1: No, I've seen him much more defensive. I think I

2421
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: think he sounded like a guy that knew exactly going in,

2422
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 1: just like you and everybody asked you and James what

2423
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 1: that press conference was going to sound like yesterday before

2424
01:56:16,200 --> 01:56:18,200
Speaker 1: it happened, and you were both dead on that ninety

2425
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:19,839
Speaker 1: percent of it was going to be about the quarterback.

2426
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 1: I think Chris Ballard to me, looked like a guy

2427
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: that knew exactly what was coming and just wanted to

2428
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:24,200
Speaker 1: get through it.

2429
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 3: Am my numb doing at this point?

2430
01:56:26,280 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 1: I think he is probably at some point, Yeah, did

2431
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: you did he strike you as anything different than a

2432
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 1: guy who just wanted to get through it coming?

2433
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 3: You know, someone made the comp earlier, and it's not

2434
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 3: a great comp but I can kind of hear where

2435
01:56:40,240 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 3: this person is coming from. I think goes Fitch tweeted this,

2436
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 3: It feels like Chuck Pagono's twenty seventeen season.

2437
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:48,040
Speaker 1: A little bit.

2438
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 3: And for those unfamiliar with the reference on that, was

2439
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 3: it seventeen or eighteen when he was tight at the

2440
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 3: hip with Ryan Grigson. Well, Gregson was gone by that point.

2441
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:00,320
Speaker 3: Grigson was gone after twenty sixteen. But yeah, seven teen

2442
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 3: was Ballard's first year and Jim Mersey kept Chuck Magono,

2443
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 3: and to me it made no sense whatsoever Ballard was

2444
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:11,480
Speaker 3: not going to keep Chuck Bagono after that, and sure enough,

2445
01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 3: it lasted one year and the rest is history. On

2446
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,120
Speaker 3: that front, it does feel a little bit like we're

2447
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 3: just going through the motions and you know, I don't know,

2448
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 3: is it writing that clear? On the wall or can

2449
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:28,840
Speaker 3: one NFL season cure all in the eyes of carli

2450
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:32,120
Speaker 3: Ars Gordon, that's the ultimate that we're going to find

2451
01:57:32,120 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 3: out here. But yeah, there are some vibes of that,

2452
01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 3: and just in general, like you know, Ballard's talked what

2453
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 3: at the end of the season January, at the combine,

2454
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:43,800
Speaker 3: in February, he talked at owners meetings in March, he

2455
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:47,000
Speaker 3: talked during the draft, he talked to the start of

2456
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 3: training camp. That's five six times he's talked since the

2457
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 3: end of the season. There's not much more the man

2458
01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:56,879
Speaker 3: can say. We just got to get back to playing football.

2459
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 1: Because the last three times we've heard from him owners

2460
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:02,080
Speaker 1: meet he was asked a lot about Daniel in the

2461
01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. Right then when you and I and James

2462
01:58:05,520 --> 01:58:08,480
Speaker 1: had him on, it was all about adding Daniel Jones

2463
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:10,960
Speaker 1: and what was going on. And then yesterday it was

2464
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,919
Speaker 1: about hey, Daniel Jones your starter now and Anthony Richardson

2465
01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 1: what's next for him? So it's all been a variation

2466
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:17,480
Speaker 1: in the same theme.

2467
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think the word when you when you

2468
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 3: carry that type of resume, the words are hollow. That's

2469
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,160
Speaker 3: that's the most succinct way I can put it. Any

2470
01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:29,160
Speaker 3: words you're going to say are going to be met

2471
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,440
Speaker 3: with skepticism, and rightfully so.

2472
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,520
Speaker 1: Does it Is it a playoff appearance or a playoff

2473
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 1: win that gets him another year.

2474
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to say it's that black and white.

2475
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 3: We have seen coaches and gms fired before who have

2476
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 3: been in the playoffs, who have won a playoff game,

2477
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:48,680
Speaker 3: and so I'm not ready to go there. I don't

2478
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 3: think it's that black and white. I think you're gonna

2479
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 3: have to see some actual organizational strides, particularly at quarterback

2480
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:59,360
Speaker 3: for a tenth year for Chris Bouten. That those are

2481
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 3: my thoughts. Carlo Gordon is and again, I'm not gonna

2482
01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:04,200
Speaker 3: pretend to know Carly super well by any means, but

2483
01:59:04,280 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 3: she's always struck me as very black and white, and

2484
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:09,520
Speaker 3: I think we're bringing some evidence that would bother me.

2485
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 3: You know, Jeff I said to you earlier in the show,

2486
01:59:11,840 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 3: But by my eyeballs and talking to some people as well,

2487
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 3: I would venture to guess that was the worst attendance

2488
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,800
Speaker 3: we've had at Grand Park in seven years. In talking

2489
01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:23,280
Speaker 3: with some people, it sounds like the preseason TV ratings

2490
01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:27,400
Speaker 3: were the worst over a decade. That's bottom line stuff, Jeff,

2491
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:31,440
Speaker 3: that's business stuff. That's dollars and cents. Even if you

2492
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:35,720
Speaker 3: are accepting of the product on the field, if the

2493
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 3: money isn't adding up, if the eyeballs aren't adding up,

2494
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna would that be bother some two people a

2495
01:59:43,640 --> 01:59:46,720
Speaker 3: top businesses and people that care and have much more

2496
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 3: direct impact to the financials finances of it all.

2497
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:54,360
Speaker 1: I think so yeah, And it's it's more apathetic. And

2498
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 1: I can tell you just from my research and digging

2499
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: here at the rate radio station, July and August was

2500
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:04,800
Speaker 1: not full of Colts fans for the first time in

2501
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:08,040
Speaker 1: a long time listening to the radio station. So I

2502
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 1: think people just are in a wait and see mode.

2503
02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:13,800
Speaker 1: They're fans, so they'll always be hopeful and if they

2504
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:15,320
Speaker 1: go to in one or three and zero out of

2505
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 1: the gate, they're going to jump right back on that bandwagon,

2506
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,920
Speaker 1: as they should and will. But there's a lot of yeah,

2507
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 1: I've seen this before, Wake me up.

2508
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:28,800
Speaker 3: If it's different, wake me conjunction, junction, what's your function?

2509
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Can you find that mark?

2510
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 10: We gotta get that mark of all the audio that

2511
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:37,400
Speaker 10: you've played today, arguab your most audibly played day in

2512
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:40,320
Speaker 10: the history of you in that seat, and I can't

2513
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:41,880
Speaker 10: get a conjunction function.

2514
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 3: Just hold on. I have to wait for the YouTube

2515
02:00:45,200 --> 02:00:48,000
Speaker 3: ads to finish for those being like, what the hell

2516
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:52,560
Speaker 3: is Kevin saying? James Boyd earlier referenced, I don't even.

2517
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Know he said the word conjunction mo ALEI Cox, Yeah,

2518
02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:58,360
Speaker 1: I think you're talking about tight ends and how this

2519
02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: affected that and things of that nature.

2520
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 3: And I just started to sing.

2521
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,280

02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:18,520
Speaker 1: conjoin them with indy eleven tickets.

02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:18,880
Speaker 3: Look at that?

2527
02:01:19,320 --> 02:01:19,720
Speaker 1: How about that?

2528
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:20,400
Speaker 6: Sure?

Speaker 6: Right.

2534
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to answer phones, you don't have to.

2535
02:01:37,600 --> 02:01:39,040
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is look at a list and

2536
02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 1: take the seventh one. That's easy.

2537
02:01:41,680 --> 02:01:42,919
Speaker 3: What the hell is the conjunction?

2538
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:47,600
Speaker 1: It conjoins things together, It puts things together.

2539
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:51,040
Speaker 3: Give me more than that words that will get you

2543
02:01:59,480 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 1: every day.

2544
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:01,920
Speaker 3: Well, there's a reason why I write for a radio

2545
02:02:02,000 --> 02:02:05,240
Speaker 3: website and I don't write for the athletic for the watching, I.

2546
02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Tend to use the word more bringing two things together.

2547
02:02:08,280 --> 02:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't know about a word my oldest.

2548
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 5: Has asked me, but the difference between adverbs and adjectism,

2549
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 5: Like your dad is not smart, don't look to me

2550
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 5: for your schooling, don't don't come my way?

2551
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:19,120
Speaker 3: Is there an l y somewhere?

2552
02:02:19,600 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 6: I don't know.

2553
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:23,600
Speaker 5: Conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses

2554
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:24,440
Speaker 5: in a sentence.

2555
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:28,600
Speaker 3: There you go, do with that what you want.

2556
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:36,040
Speaker 1: Otherwise, sure, Kevin Bone is a terrific writer. Otherwise he

2557
02:02:36,440 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 1: can't tell you what a conjunction is. Is it otherwise

2558
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: a conjunctive word?

2559
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:41,760
Speaker 6: I don't know.

2560
02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Also maybe otherwise also here here you know those kinds

2561
02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:50,040
Speaker 1: of things. We'll check it out. Do you have a

Speaker 1: reading Rainbow with LeVar Burton? It was that before.

2584
02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that was.

2585
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 1: In the same general time frame right there.

2586
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:10,560
Speaker 3: Where in the world is Carmen San Diego. That was

2587
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:11,280
Speaker 3: a fun show.

2588
02:04:13,800 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Arthur.

2589
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 3: Of course I love Arthur. Arthur gets it done.

2590
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Uh, My kids watched the little shows called like Little

2591
02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Einstein and Thomas the Train and stuff like that when

2592
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 1: they were two, three, four years old. Though those things pass. Now,

2593
02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:28,360
Speaker 1: what's the thing train?

2594
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:30,920
Speaker 3: I remember? I think Thomas the Train is still going strong?

2595
02:04:31,120 --> 02:04:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we used to take the conduct whenever I

2596
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:37,120
Speaker 1: was tasked with watching the little guys when they I

2597
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:39,200
Speaker 1: had two under two, and so when they were like

2598
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 1: three and two and I'd have to watch them for

2599
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:43,520
Speaker 1: an entire aftering, we'd go down to the local Barnes

2600
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,760
Speaker 1: and Noble and they had a big, old, huge Thomas

2601
02:04:45,840 --> 02:04:49,360
Speaker 1: the Train play station set up and we would just

2602
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:51,080
Speaker 1: play Thomas the Train for like two hours.

2603
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:53,960
Speaker 5: Think one of the wilder things of Thomas Magic's school bus,

2604
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:56,919
Speaker 5: Thank you Jedi Magic School was required.

2605
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thousand percent. Time's the Train?

2606
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 5: I just remember the conductors were Ringo Starr and George Carlin,

2607
02:05:04,120 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 5: and I'm like, how did they get this gig?

2608
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:10,840
Speaker 1: What happened here? Yeah? Tame George Carlin, very tame.

2609
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy's cool. Let me check out his other stuff.

2610
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 1: Oh my word, were you able to manage getting all

2611
02:05:17,520 --> 02:05:21,360
Speaker 1: to the seventh text? Shout out? Paul, Paul is going

2612
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 1: there you go, there we go. Is that a family

2613
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,560
Speaker 1: poor back today? I believe yes, yep, good job you

2614
02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:28,839
Speaker 1: got it out of you, Paul. We've got college football,

2615
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 1: as we talked about later on tonight, locally, I might

2616
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:33,440
Speaker 1: try to find that Mary and I you can't and

2617
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:34,920
Speaker 1: go check that out for a few minutes if I

2618
02:05:34,960 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 1: can get away from you, Indy, right, are you not sorry?

2619
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 3: You a big difference respect The Greyhound surprised one of them. Yeah,

2620
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:47,839
Speaker 3: on the on the schedule probably wouldn't be the craziest

2621
02:05:47,880 --> 02:05:49,600
Speaker 3: thought there, but yeah, that's a fun one. And again

2622
02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:52,520
Speaker 3: another great great weather night. I think this time last

2623
02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:55,800
Speaker 3: year we had that horrific week two weather night, if

2624
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:58,560
Speaker 3: I remember correctly, in high school football. So we'll get

2625
02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:00,720
Speaker 3: set tomorrow a ton of great game games as well,

2626
02:06:00,840 --> 02:06:04,280
Speaker 3: and then honestly, ideal tailgate, whether whether you're West Lafayette,

2627
02:06:04,280 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 3: whether you're Bloomington on Saturday, awesome. I think the Purdue

2628
02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 3: storyline Mike y Ramovich ball state's head coach. He is

2629
02:06:10,800 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 3: a Purdue grad, played it or coached at McCutcheon, so

2630
02:06:14,720 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 3: plenty of ties there. So first game for him there

2631
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:19,760
Speaker 3: and first game obviously.

2632
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:20,960
Speaker 1: For Bury Odam.

2633
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:24,360
Speaker 3: Then the Irish Sunday Night down there at the U.

2634
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Are you interested at all? On Monday Night's North Carolina

2635
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Day Baker Bill Belichick, I'm fascinated.

2636
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 6: I am.

2637
02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm a hate watch Belichick this year. I'll admit it now. Yeah,

2638
02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:38,480
Speaker 3: I want Belichick to lose every game you.

2639
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Used to want to see, like a miserable one year

2640
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 1: existence for him.

2641
02:06:41,600 --> 02:06:43,560
Speaker 3: It's probably explains a lot about how you're wired as

2642
02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:46,400
Speaker 3: a human. Do you get more gratification out of the

2643
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 3: hate watch team losing or the team you like winning.

2644
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I only have a couple of teams that I just

2645
02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 1: love to see go down.

2646
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 3: Mark Dydon, would you rather the Packers lose or the

2647
02:06:59,640 --> 02:07:03,160
Speaker 3: Bear just win? Packers watching?

2648
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 5: You're watching the Packers lose, especially like you know, late

2649
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:09,360
Speaker 5: games or something like that, or they just get like

2650
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:12,120
Speaker 5: absolutely shredded. I very much enjoy that. Like I'll hate

2651
02:07:12,120 --> 02:07:13,880
Speaker 5: watch the Steelers this year. I would like to see

2652
02:07:13,920 --> 02:07:16,880
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers just get pummeled into a puddle of puss.

2653
02:07:17,880 --> 02:07:19,240
Speaker 5: I'd say that three times fast.

2654
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, I'm gonna let you say that, and just but.

2655
02:07:21,440 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like I would very much like to

2656
02:07:23,400 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 5: see Aaron Rodgers flat on his face. A lot of

2657
02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:26,760
Speaker 5: the times, and I would like to see the Packers

2658
02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:28,160
Speaker 5: go down and go down quite often.

2659
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:30,080
Speaker 3: So you guys good with me? Hate watching Bellichick?

2660
02:07:30,120 --> 02:07:33,600
Speaker 5: This absolute how many shots of his girlfriend are gonna

2661
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:34,600
Speaker 5: be on the opening broadcast?

2662
02:07:34,640 --> 02:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Is gonna be there?

2663
02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:39,000
Speaker 3: I mean, is he gonna say you can't do that? Well,

2664
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:40,840
Speaker 3: I think she calls a shot. So if she wants

2665
02:07:40,840 --> 02:07:44,080
Speaker 3: to run the offense, I think he's got a letter, right,

2666
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:45,920
Speaker 3: it's her world, you'd think, so.

2667
02:07:47,040 --> 02:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Get her a headset down there on the sideline. Maybe.

2668
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 3: Is that TCU?

2669
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Yep?

2670
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,800
Speaker 3: Boy, how about TCU? Well, that be the most random

2671
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,480
Speaker 3: national title appearance team, like in the next ten years.

2672
02:08:00,440 --> 02:08:02,440
Speaker 1: They've had. They've they've been in and around it for.

2673
02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:06,040
Speaker 3: A minute, Okay, in and around. It's a little bit

2674
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:07,360
Speaker 3: different than playing for the national team.

2675
02:08:07,440 --> 02:08:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but I'm thinking out loud, is I

2676
02:08:10,800 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 1: don't see them. I don't see them doing that regularly?

2677
02:08:13,200 --> 02:08:15,600
Speaker 3: No, Well, yeah, that's what I'm getting at, Like the

2678
02:08:15,880 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 3: most random national championship appearance team we've had in college

2679
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:19,920
Speaker 3: football in years.

2680
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Probably getting the fact that it was the same three

2681
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:26,320
Speaker 1: or four teams every single year for a decade.

2682
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:27,960
Speaker 3: We'll tell that to Notre Dame.

2683
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Well, they were one of the three or four teams.

2684
02:08:30,440 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'd probably put Georgia in Alabama, Clemson, Ohio

2685
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:34,800
Speaker 3: State before Notre Dame.

2686
02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:37,879
Speaker 1: But Notre Dame was an interloper on more than one occasion.

2687
02:08:38,040 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 1: That's my point.

2688
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:39,880
Speaker 3: I appreciate that praise.

2689
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 9: Man.

2690
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm way too nice to Kevin all

2691
02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 1: day long.

2692
02:08:43,920 --> 02:08:47,280
Speaker 3: That's why I have all this audio saved. He's mean,

2693
02:08:49,200 --> 02:08:51,880
Speaker 3: James Boydovert Colts practice? A couple of people asking about that?

2694
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 3: So yes, there, I guess their last practice really till Monday.

2695
02:08:57,280 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 3: NFL mandates that you take off Labor Day weekend, so

2696
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 3: three day stretch. Pretty much every team Friday, Saturday, and

2697
02:09:02,960 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 3: Sunday will be off. Reconvene Monday as you have a

2698
02:09:05,720 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 3: Monday practice and then get into game prep week. So

2699
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:11,480
Speaker 3: Shane Steike wanna meet the media a little bit later today.

2700
02:09:11,480 --> 02:09:14,600
Speaker 3: We'll see if any lingering fifty three man roster comings

2701
02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:17,400
Speaker 3: and goings as that cycle plays out here.

2702
02:09:17,480 --> 02:09:20,840
Speaker 1: Usually most interested in learning from him today psychon yeah

2703
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: and learning yep.

2704
02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'd know those two words and

2705
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:26,600
Speaker 3: press lines across.

2706
02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:30,280
Speaker 1: What question are you most likely to ask him?

2707
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,760
Speaker 3: Literally? It hasn't even Sadly, it hasn't even crossed my mind.

2708
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 3: I will think about it on the drive up to

2709
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,760
Speaker 3: the West fifty sixth Street and see what I can

2710
02:09:36,760 --> 02:09:37,120
Speaker 3: come up with.

2711
02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 5: So somebody's singing conjunction junction in his head and like,

2712
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:41,680
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I gotta ask Shane steike in something, ask

2713
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 5: him about ask him about conjunction junction. Do you remember

2714
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 5: that I heard he was asked about Skyline Chili in

2715
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:53,200
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati postgame press conference. You'll have to find that audio, Mark, Ah,

2716
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:55,960
Speaker 5: so you can tell you so caught off guard?

2717
02:09:56,200 --> 02:09:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't.

2718
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:58,000
Speaker 5: I don't know about chili. I know about I know

2719
02:09:58,080 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 5: about four to three. I know about Nickel defenses. That's

2720
02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:06,600
Speaker 5: got a nice procedure going on here. Yeah, I think so,

2721
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:07,640
Speaker 5: I'm work shopping it.

2722
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm work shopping.

2723
02:10:08,640 --> 02:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I can't tell if it's good or not. It's worked.

2724
02:10:11,040 --> 02:10:11,960
Speaker 1: It's all on process.

2725
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:14,520
Speaker 3: We've got a process going here to say process. Will

2726
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:14,880
Speaker 3: that help?

2727
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2728
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:18,520
Speaker 3: That probably probably is a good I'll work on that one.

2729
02:10:18,560 --> 02:10:22,040
Speaker 3: That one's I'm work shopping that impression. Okay, what do

2730
02:10:22,080 --> 02:10:22,280
Speaker 3: you think?

2731
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Strange? Stiken believes his job as a head coach and

2732
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:28,320
Speaker 1: offensive quarter is right now. And trying to help develop

2733
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, Like, what active role will he be playing?

2734
02:10:31,560 --> 02:10:31,680
Speaker 6: Oh?

2735
02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:33,920
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll have a very active role with Richardson. No.

2736
02:10:34,160 --> 02:10:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean I think it's all about in season, I'm

2737
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:38,120
Speaker 3: the head coach on the play caller, it's all about

2738
02:10:38,160 --> 02:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. Yeah, and that's why again, you know Cam Turner,

2739
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:43,760
Speaker 3: QB coaching, Jim Bob Kodter, the OC. You know a

2740
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:44,800
Speaker 3: lot of that responsibility.

2741
02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:47,320
Speaker 1: All I can think of Cam saying I feel like

2742
02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: we've done all we can do. I feel like we've

2743
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:52,760
Speaker 1: done everything. Yeah I'm paraphrasing, but that was essentially what

2744
02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:53,240
Speaker 1: he's said.

2745
02:10:53,640 --> 02:10:56,640
Speaker 3: Man, Again, this gets back into the grander Richardson conversation

2746
02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:58,840
Speaker 3: of that you have the right people in place in

2747
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:03,280
Speaker 3: those positions to further the development because the Cam Turner

2748
02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 3: resume isn't necessarily one that has a lot of quarterback

2749
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:09,040
Speaker 3: development on it. And you know, I hold her, Joey

2750
02:11:09,080 --> 02:11:12,320
Speaker 3: Erickson say this earlier. You know, is Shane Stiken Is

2751
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:16,000
Speaker 3: he just a maximizer of an offense? Or is he

2752
02:11:16,040 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 3: a quarterback developer? And I know that might sound like semantics,

2753
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:24,000
Speaker 3: but to me, those are two very different things. You

2754
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:26,840
Speaker 3: can maximize an offense, game plan it up, script it

2755
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:30,480
Speaker 3: up wonderful. Exis and O's person. But developing a quarterback

2756
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:34,080
Speaker 3: that's a different aspect to being a you know, an

2757
02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:36,000
Speaker 3: elite level offensive head coach.

2758
02:11:36,280 --> 02:11:38,760
Speaker 1: What do you make of really quickly, mark someone like

2759
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson did such an amazing job with a veteran

2760
02:11:41,520 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 1: quarterback that he got himself a head coaching job.

2761
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 5: I like Shane or I like Shane Jesus. I like

2762
02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:48,800
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson everything I've heard. He doesn't sound like a

2763
02:11:48,800 --> 02:11:51,000
Speaker 5: football robot, like the one we have in town right now,

2764
02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 5: so it's nice to hear some honesty about him. Caleble
