One more day of substitute teaching 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: not for me. I guess you know the only day 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: I have to do this this week. You had Derek 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Schultz yesterday. You get me this afternoon. My name is 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Greg Regstraw. Hello, how are you? Jake Query is literally 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: on a transatlantic flight back as we speak, or at 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: least he is scheduled to be, which means you get 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: to hear from him tomorrow and he can regel you 10 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: with all of the tales of Vienna some of the 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: more somber places he has visited as well as our 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: friend is nothing if not a student of civilization, culture 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: and history or things somewhat related to that. And so 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: you get me Greg Regstraw filling in for one more 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: day here on ninety three five and one oh seven five. 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: The fan kind of back to like the normal rhythm 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: and routine of things that we talk about, you know, 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: going into a cults buy. It kind of allowed us 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: to expand our pal at little bit. Obviously had the 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: monon bell, which was another glorious afternoon in Crawfordsville on Saturday. 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Really enjoyed the broadcast, a lot of positive feedback. Thank 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: you so much for those of you that did that. 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: Viewing numbers off the charts for that game, as they 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: basically are each and every year. To Paul one, congratulations, 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: Wabash plays in a small college bowl game. They have 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: those now coming up this weekend. De Paul gets the 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: weekend off you want. If you were at the game, 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the broadcast, the game, et cetera. 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Feel free to do that three one seven, nine, ten 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: seventy at Greg Reikstraw in terms of Twitter, or you 31 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: can even old school email the program too, Greg at 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: ten seven ofthefan dot com. I think it still works. Honestly, 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I think it does. And that's 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: close enough. But we all talked about like a you 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: indie basketball, we talked more about IU football and that 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: conversation will carry over on the program today. Zach Osterman 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: will be joining us in the neighborhood of one thirty 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: and again, the Indiana University football conversation is still fascinating 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: to me, Like there's literally like a different factoid or 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: nugget or note that you can share every day that 41 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: just leaves you slack jawed at how things are progressing 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: for Indian University football. There was a couple of those 43 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: yesterday that wanted to bring to the table, and we'll 44 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: do so here in the opening segment of the show 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: before we kind of revisit this during the one o'clock 46 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: hour of the program. The current active longest home winning 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: streak in FBS football belongs to the Indiana Hoosiers. They 48 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: basically have swept their home games for the last two seasons. 49 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Played eight last year, one of them all, played seven 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: this year, one of them all. I may have had 51 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: those numbers backwards, but I think that's the way that 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: worked out. I know the number is fifteen. With Alabama 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: being beaten at home by Oklahoma this weekend. The longest 54 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: home winning streak in FBS football belongs to the Indiana Hoosiers, 55 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: the team that was the losingest major college football program 56 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: in North America, the world champions of the World at 57 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: that the Indiana Hoosiers now have the longest active home 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: winning streak. The other thing in Zach wrote about this 59 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: yesterday is the fact that if you look at the 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: odds makers, not the prohibitive favorite, but the current Heisman 61 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: favorite now frankly, and I'm not sure if I will 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: ever more sound like Jake than I'm about to for 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the next thirty seconds, because since I see Jake every 64 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, I think I'm kind of like the warm 65 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: up act for Jake Show, like he tries out his 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: opening monologue on me basically by checking the boxes of 67 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: the things that he wants to talk about, like complaining 68 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: about Eddie. Only kidding about that a little bit, But 69 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: in terms of one of the things that Jake has 70 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: observed as a man that is in his fifties and 71 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: I am rounding into that territory in the not too 72 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: distant future, would be the amount of attention slash knowledge 73 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: that the generation after us, of which Eddie would be 74 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: a part of, has about gambling and wagering. Like us 75 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: middle aged dudes think we have some knowledge of gambling, 76 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: we ain't got squat compared to the generation after us, 77 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: because frankly, it has been far more of a thing. 78 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: It is far easier to do well. Zach did a 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: great job in his article yesterday of saying he's not 80 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: a favorite, but if you notice he is in negative numbers. 81 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: In other words, you'd have to wager more than one 82 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: hundred to get one hundred dollars back, which makes him 83 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: the favorite. Like, if you're the favorite in a horse race, 84 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: there's still probably a better in most races than seventy 85 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: five eighty percent champion a horse name not you, Like 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: if if you were actually in a horse race, I 87 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: doubt you were. I'm not sure how made the analogy 88 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: that direction. You get the point you can be the 89 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: favorite eighty percent chance is not gonna win the race. 90 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: Somewhat similar here for Mendoza. But we have a Heisman 91 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: Trophy favorite that has one more regular season game left 92 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to go against Purdue next Friday night, has the Big 93 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: Ten Championship game left to go, and that's it before 94 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy would be awarded to an Indiana University 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: football player. And then the thing that we kind of 96 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: touched on last week and I kind of pushed it 97 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say kicked it to the curb, but 98 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: you know what, I think this topic will stand until 99 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: we get to Tuesday. The other thing that I'm having 100 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: a tough time wrapping my brain around is just how 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: many Indiana football players hear their name called by Roger 102 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: Goodell and or others. The last weekend in April in 103 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. Clearly Mendoza will be tops among that list, 104 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: but it's not like it's just him. I think there's 105 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on that Indiana roster, not necessarily 106 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: first round picks. This isn't like you know, the you 107 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, or like a quarter of the of 108 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: the first round are guys that play in converse to Miami. 109 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: But maybe there's maybe I'm not sure, there's another first 110 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: round pick, might be somebody else going in second and 111 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: third round. A lot of guys that hear their name 112 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: on the third day of the draft. So those are 113 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: the topics that we'll get to coming up with Zach 114 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the program. There is 115 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: always what we do in Sports talk radio, and that 116 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: is react to what happened in sports the night before, 117 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,799 Speaker 1: and what I say about the Indiana Pacers today will 118 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: resonate with what I said about the Indiana Pacers on 119 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: Friday show. After trying to watch as much at a 120 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: Thursday's game as possible, Man, that is a difficult watch. 121 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: And again, because you know how good it was, we're 122 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: not hearkening back to man, they just don't make players 123 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: like they used to. No, no, we're going on the 124 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: way back machine. Like five months. It is still less 125 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: than five months ago that the Indiana Pacers, as we 126 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: knew and loved them, were tipping off Game seven of 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals and we thought even an Oklahoma City, Ah, hell, 128 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna win it. And now I can tell you 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: and I put this out on the twitters for earlier 130 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: today when I said there's two topics one being IU 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: football and the other being this one that are have 132 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: been kind of rattling around of my brain, as my 133 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: talk show host brain has kind of been re engaged 134 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: over the course of the last few days. And that is, 135 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: with sixty eight games left the season, what in the 136 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: hell is there left to play for for the Indiana Pacers. 137 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: Because yes, I know you're getting pieces back. You've got 138 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: Benedict Matheren back last night, and that's better than not 139 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: having them. But it's gonna take a little minute to 140 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, shake off the ring rushed. You 141 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of see that with TJ McConnell, but especially when 142 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: you have played for so much in just the recent past. 143 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: I think it will get better at some point in time, 144 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it's going to get better enough 145 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: to really be a difference maker, because now you have 146 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Nie Smith out a month will be topping. It's still 147 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: a couple of months away from coming back. You know 148 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: you're not getting Tyrese Haliburton that year's paraphrase, Rick Patino, 149 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Miles Turner ain't walking through that door. To kind of 150 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: make the pieces fit. And there's a lot of different 151 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: ways that I will kind of go on this topic. 152 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: I actually did something kind of scary and did like 153 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: some show researchs this morning. I said, let me saw 154 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: Eddie's eyebrows raise the moment that I said that we 155 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: do that around here. Yes, occasionally it is okay to 156 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: do those things around here. Pacers battled to some degree 157 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: last night, and I know what the final score was. 158 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: What was it one twenty eight, one to twelve, somewhere 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: in that neighborhood, And don't have it right in front 160 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: of me, but you get the general idea. I made 161 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: it to about the two minute mark of the second quarter. 162 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: I went, I literally taped the game, went back watched 163 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: this morning, and I was like, all right, that's enough 164 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: of this. I think I have a general idea as 165 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: to what we're going to talk about. So there's two 166 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: or three different paths that I kind of want to 167 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: take in terms of the Pacers, and one of them 168 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: I will probably save for the next segment of the show, 169 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: but one I will get into right now. And and 170 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, as I kind of looked at things last night, 171 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: you all right, this season's not going anywhere. But what 172 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: you do have is the unique ability to get a 173 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: very talented piece that you normally would not have the 174 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: access to. And perhaps that is the plug and play 175 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: five that you need, because obviously it seems like what 176 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: the Pacers have at the five spot isn't exactly what 177 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: they need long term. So in looking but in looking 178 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: at the pacers' salaries, and there's a variety of websites 179 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: that you can use to do this. My personal favorite 180 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: is hoopsite. This is where I tend to go in 181 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: terms of reading what salaries You're going to look like, Eddie, 182 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: you want to wager as to how many how many 183 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: current pacers are under contract for next season? 184 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: All but ben Aicmatherin right, pretty. 185 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Much get the nail on the head. There are if 186 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: you included Benedict Matherin's qualifying offer and not including a 187 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: player on a two way contract. The Indiana Pacers have 188 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: thirteen players under contract for next year. And again, this 189 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: was done with the idea of, Hey, you loved what 190 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: you did last year, run it back as much as 191 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: you can. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. 192 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: What you did not know was the injured at Tyrese 193 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: Haliburton and then the catastrophic chain of events that would happened. 194 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: At least in terms of this season. I am very 195 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: much on team run it back. I'm very much on hey. 196 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: And again I'll give Dustin to pure Act the credit 197 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: for this because I saw it via his Twitter account 198 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: last week. This has turned into a gap year for 199 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. I'll make a Jam like reference. Maybe 200 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: Jake would appreciate this as well. Eddie, this will go 201 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: completely over your head, so don't even try. This is 202 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: the This is the this is the episode of Dallas 203 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: where Bobby Ewing steps out of the shower and the 204 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: entire previous year was just a dream. This has been 205 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: a this this has been a nightmare, and I'm not 206 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: sure it's gonna getting better for the Indiana Pace. Prill 207 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: and early April, we said, Okay, do you look at 208 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: moving pieces whose contracts expire. Here are the list of 209 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: Pacers players whose contracts expire. Monte Morris just signed them. 210 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Tony Bradley a rotational piece, James Wiseman no longer on 211 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: the team, Quentin Jackson two way tailing. Peter's actually back 212 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: next year on a two way deal, Ray J. Dennis 213 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: on a two way deal, Robinson Earl he for some 214 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: reasons getting minutes, Mac McClung, and Cody Martin. Those are 215 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: the guys whose contracts are the Pacers owe them zero 216 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: dollars at the end of the year. Siakam's here for 217 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: two more years after this one. Tyres is here for 218 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: three more years after this one, actually more. Nemhard is 219 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: here for two more years after this one. Same with 220 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Obie Topping. You just extended Nie Smith, TJ. McConnell is 221 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: here for at least two years, and you've got a 222 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: team option for a third. Isaiah Jackson two more years 223 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: after this one. Jaris Walker still has one more year 224 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: before even hits this qualifying offer, which is the same 225 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: thing as Ben Sheppard. You've got Jay Huff under contract 226 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: for another year plus a team option after that. Not 227 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: sure why we have even been robbed of the opportunity 228 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: to see a player like Johnny Furfee develop because of 229 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: his injury, and he's been unable to play since the 230 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: opening day or week of the season. I haven't seen 231 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: Cam Jones play yet for this team because of injury. 232 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: So then you go, all right, if there are no 233 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: pieces that you can move, or nor pieces that you 234 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: want to move, like the thought would be, okay, maybe 235 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: you look at sending away a player who is not 236 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: going to be back next year or is under a 237 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: contract for next year, Get a serviceable peace, get an 238 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: extra draft pick, whatever the case may be. You don't 239 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: have that guy. So really, what this turns into, and 240 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: again this is a tough slog to do. Over the 241 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: course of sixty eight games, you're looking at the things 242 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: like the development of Jaris Walker. You're looking at things 243 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: like Benedict Mathern. Is he a guy that you want 244 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: to invest in going forward? Frankly, because of this year's 245 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: record and now getting into luxury tax and things like that, 246 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: the financial realities may be you're not going to invest 247 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: in him going forward, but maybe if things had stayed together, 248 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: you would have. And so frankly, the development of Natherin, 249 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: of Walker and eventually Furfey. Those are the things that 250 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: kind of have my interest. Everything else I'm not that 251 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: fired up about. So now we get to kind of 252 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: the next element that maybe is on your your Pacers radar. 253 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: But frankly, this has nothing to do with the actual 254 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers season itself, and that is we are on 255 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: number one pick watch, or that is, we are on 256 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: whatever the best big man available for the Indiana Pacers 257 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: might be. And let me explain why I made that transition. Okay, 258 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: if and I think this is the way that I 259 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: would play it, If I'm Kevin Pritchard, if I'm Chad 260 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: b you can if I'm everybody involved with the Pacers 261 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: front office. Tyrese Halliburton's here long term, Pascal Siakam is 262 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: here long term, aaron Nie Smith is here long term, 263 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: will be Topping is here for two more years. Really, 264 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: the only guy of your rotation that you are questioning 265 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: in terms of will he be a Pacer next year 266 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: is Benedict Matherin, and frankly, it may not be related 267 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: to how he plays. It may be just straight dollars 268 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: in cents of it. So you feel like you've got 269 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: your one. I don't include Nemhart in there. Nemhart is 270 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: the guy that clearly is going to be here long term. 271 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: In other words, you kind of have your one set, 272 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: you kind of have your two set. That might be 273 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: the one piece if you're not sure what you have 274 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: in jaris Walker, if you don't think Bennedict Mathern is 275 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: going to be around, maybe you could use depth of two. 276 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: But you kind of know what your three looks like, 277 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: and you kind of know what your four looks like. 278 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: You know what your five looks like right now, and 279 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: that ain't so good and so now, and you have 280 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: the gift of time on this because this I don't 281 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: think is going to change. But now as you get 282 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: ready for the draft, you're not in a position. And 283 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: this is more NFL parlance than it is NBA kind 284 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: of conversation, but I do think it applies to the 285 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers. You could almost hear mel Kiper's voice saying 286 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: the word reach right when it comes to prognosticating a draft. 287 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: If you're the Pacers, you clearly have a very specific need. 288 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: If you have invested in in Tyree, Saliburton, in Pascal 289 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: Siakam and Aaron ne Smith, and Andrew Nemhard and Obi Topping, etc. 290 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: What's the position. You don't have much in the way 291 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: of dollars and cents invested in right now. You got bodies, 292 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure you got anybody can actually play. 293 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: It's a center position right now. Being a center these 294 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: days in the NBA is a different asque than what 295 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: it was even five ten years ago. Like Isaiah Jackson 296 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: plays the five. That dude's like six'. Eight, Okay so 297 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: if you're The Indiana, pacers whatever pick you get in the, 298 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: draft which could be the number one pick all which 299 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: The pacers have never, had have the first overall pick 300 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: in THE nba, draft and if you are the type 301 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: of person that your mo or your mindset, is you 302 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 1: would win the. Lottery but bitch about the. TAXES i 303 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: think this is even fool proof for. You, okay as 304 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: long as The Indiana pacers have a picking like the 305 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: top four or, five and it does not seem and, 306 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: again we just started the college basketball. Season this is 307 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: very much subject to. Change we may feel differently In 308 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: february Or march about this than we do in the 309 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: middle Of, november but it doesn't appear there is one 310 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: dominant player at the top of the food chain in 311 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: terms of THE nba. Draft but if you're The Indiana, 312 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: pacers wouldn't the best four or five make sense in 313 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: terms of this is the way to right the wrong 314 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: of how whatever side of the blame game you want 315 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: to play Of Miles turner walking out the, door if 316 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: you've invested in all of those other, spots and the 317 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: names that will be thrown around will Be Cameron, boozer 318 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: who Is carlos's, son who is thought to be a 319 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: pretty skilled, player not the best of athletes at about 320 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: six foot, Nine Caleb. WILLIAMS i Hope i'm saying his name, 321 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: Right Chris. Sinak those are the names in terms of 322 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: power forward centers of four, fives and let's face, it 323 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: every five is expected to be able to knock down a. 324 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: Three Jay hoffkin do that Unless i'm sure you can 325 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: actually guard. Anybody and if you look at the points 326 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: being scored against The Indiana, pacers it seems that having 327 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: a rim protector might be something The Indiana pacers would 328 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: actually like to invest in because the one that they 329 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: had is now playing for The Milwaukee, bucks and, defensively 330 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: The Indiana pacers have an exactly been set in the 331 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: world on.

Seven Kareem Abdul jabbar was still on 443 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: The bucks in seventy four seventy, Five Oscar robertson had, 444 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: retired and so things started out to go as well 445 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: for The. Bucks kareem wanted. Out he played warmer year In, 446 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: milwaukee was traded To La That bucks team started one in. 447 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: Thirteen but and this would give you a glimmer of 448 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: hope rally to finish thirty eight and forty. Four but 449 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: they were not a playoff. Team and so the way 450 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: that my mind, wonders having now been in the business 451 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: nearly for thirty years at this, point is all, Right, 452 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: historically what are examples of a team being so close 453 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: to winning AN nba? Championship the ONE i just gave 454 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: kind of runs. Parallel The bucks lost in seven to 455 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: The celtics in seventy four and the next year missed the, 456 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: playoffs started one in, thirteen but did win thirty eight, games, which, 457 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: Honestly pacers, fans is like the last thing you want 458 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: if you are going to be, Bad you want to 459 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: be historically bad in theory to give you the best 460 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: possible player you can get next year in THE nba. 461 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: Draft hope it's a one year. Dip Tyres heliburton comes, 462 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: back all the pieces come, back and, voila you are 463 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: back to being An Eastern Conference LASH nba. Contender the 464 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: other example, that, again if you're my, age you remember 465 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: is The spurs the mid. Nineties we'll get there either 466 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: in this segment or the next, segment so believe it or. 467 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: Not as somebody else was filling in For jake on 468 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: his other show that he does On quarry And, schultz 469 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: which is filmed On tuesday mornings At hogies And, Hops 470 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: Zach keeper was doing, THAT i just just kind of 471 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: hung in the background and, said you, Know i've got 472 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: about an hour just to kind of sit here and 473 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: process some. Things how about ACTUALLY i look some stuff, 474 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: up Knowing i'm doing the talk show. Today SO i 475 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: started scrolling through the list OF nba. Champions at first 476 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: it was to see kind of who had the worst 477 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: season after not necessarily winning AN nba, championship because fortunately 478 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: know The pacers, didn't but at least making AN nba. 479 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: Championship AND i started to notice a remarkable. Trend and 480 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: if nothing, else this can Be Tyrese halliburton's picked me 481 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: up for the day as to the company he is 482 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: keeping when teams absolutely crater after making AN nba. Final 483 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: so my first example would be the nineteen sixty four 484 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: sixty Five San Francisco, warriors you probably better know them 485 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: now As Golden. State in sixty three sixty, four The 486 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco warriors ended up being THE nba runners, up 487 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: and it was the, sixties so of course they lost 488 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: The celtics in THE Nba. Finals, well in the middle 489 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: of the sixty four to sixty five, season The warriors 490 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: were in financial. Trouble they Traded Wilt chamberlain back To 491 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: philadelphia in the seventy six ers after making THE Nba. 492 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: Finals The San Francisco warriors went seventeen and sixty three 493 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: and did not make the playoffs. AGAIN i give you 494 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: the example of The Milwaukee bucks in nineteen seventy, four 495 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: Losing game seven open a season one and. Thirteen robertson 496 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: no longer playing in THE. Nba kareem was on that, 497 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: team but The BIG o was. Not the next EXAMPLE 498 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: i can give you is a bit of a more modern, 499 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: example and it is one that again should not be 500 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: all of that big of a surprise to. You the 501 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: end of The bulls. Dynasty of, course in nineteen ninety. 502 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: Eight what team pushed them as hard as any team 503 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: did in any playoff series in the six championship years 504 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: of The Chicago. Bulls the last dance, season, well by, 505 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: god it was The Indiana pacers in The Eastern Conference, 506 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: finals leading in the fourth quarter at The United. Center 507 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: wasn't meant to, be but we all knew that that 508 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: season was indeed going to be the last dance Because 509 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: Jerry krouse did not want to repeat of the late Eighties. 510 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: Celtics as compared to a friend of mine In Lance, 511 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: ship one of his favorite sayings on a football broadcast 512 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: is to not get bored with. Success Jerry krause got 513 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: bored with. SUCCESS i don't like winning all these games 514 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: and like winning all these, championships we have to. Rebuild, 515 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: well haven't won a title since and the and the 516 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: strike shortened or lockout Shortened bulls season in ninety eight ninety, 517 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: nine they went thirteen and thirty seven for a twenty 518 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: six percent winning. Percentage so, again let's keep track of. 519 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: This Will chamberlain leaving is why The warriors. Created Oscar 520 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: robertson retiring is part of the reason why The bucks 521 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: went spiraling down for several. Years The bulls have yet 522 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: to recover from the way That Michael, Jordan Scottie Pippen 523 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: dazs were. Handled notice a trend, Here but, wait there's. 524 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: More the two thousand and three to two thousand and 525 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: Four Los Angeles. LAKERS i can tie this back to 526 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,959 Speaker 1: The pacers, too because you know we The pacers were 527 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: they had the best record in two thousand and. Three 528 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and, four The pacers didn't get past The 529 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: pistons in The Eastern conference. Finals but because The lakers 530 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: had won championships in two, thousand two thousand two or 531 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: two thousand thousand and one two thousand and, two didn't 532 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: make it back in two thousand and. Three but that 533 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: team is the team that went out and Got Karl 534 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: malone And Gary payton to go With kobe And shaq 535 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: And Horace grant And Rick, fox et. Cetera The pistons 536 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: aren't beating Those, lakers right, well The pistons beat them in. 537 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: Five The pistons basically gave away a game where they 538 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: would have swept. Them they would have crushed. Them the next, 539 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: year The lakers won thirty four. Games why Because shaq 540 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: And kobe feud. Didn't shaq ended up playing for The 541 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: Miami heat and because of, that Add shaquille O'Neal to that. List, 542 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: finally again this is more. Modern you probably can see 543 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,719 Speaker 1: where this is. Going in twenty, eighteen The Cleveland cavaliers 544 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: were swept by The Golden State warriors and that was 545 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: the last year That Lebron james played for The Cleveland. 546 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: Cavaliers the next, year After lebron Left cleveland for a second, 547 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: time The Cleveland cavaliers went nineteen and sixty three and 548 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: to not qualify so for the. Playoffs so that is 549 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:39,760 Speaker 1: the historical perspective that This pacers season is trending. Towards 550 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: they're one in. Thirteen DO i think that winning percentage 551 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: will get. BETTER i, do just because again you'll have 552 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: enough guys back not Named Tyrese, haliburton not Named Miles. 553 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: Turner but you'll get over topping Back benedict Ma bathern 554 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: will what was the first game back last? Night you've 555 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: got too many talented piece is here for this? Too, 556 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: simply you, KNOW i could extrapolate this and say The 557 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: pacers are on track to finish six and seventy six this. 558 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: SEASON i don't think that's gonna, happen but CAN i 559 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: see us in there where The pacers are like kind 560 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: of a twenty ish win, Team, YEAH i could do. 561 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: That so to put this in, perspective the handful of 562 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: occasions something like this has. Happened it's because The warriors 563 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: had had to Trade Wilt. Chamberlain it's Because Oscar robertson, 564 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: retired which led To Kareem Abdul jabbar wanted to Leave, 565 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: milwaukee because The bulls got bored with success and didn't 566 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: want to bring Back Michael jordan and crew And Phil 567 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: jackson for one more. Year it's because jack Asked kobe 568 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: how his backside. Taste if you don't know what that, 569 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: means looking up there WAS i was actually a disc 570 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: track on a rap and then it Was Lebron james, saying, 571 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: well let's come.

Keep that is the historical 575 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: perspective as to how jaw droppingly bad this has been 576 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: from The Indiana pacers so.

Quarterback so call that a. Win that would 608 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: be four and. Zero The seahawks, lost that would be 609 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: four and.

Two 611 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: there we, go fact checking our math live on the. 612 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: Radio but there's no easy game left. NOW i would, 613 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: Argue i'm not so sure how great The Houston texans really, 614 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: are but let's grade them at least on a bit 615 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: of a. Curve they have to Play thursday night football 616 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: against The, bills which will not be. Easy C. J 617 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: stroud apparently is back at practice, now having to clear 618 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: concussion protocol in a short. Week if it happens On, 619 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: sunday it's virtually. Impossible in kind of reading the tea 620 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 1: leaves From, houston they are not sure if he'll play 621 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: this week against The, bills but they feel that is 622 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 1: a confident sign that he'll play next week against The Indianapolis. 623 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: Colts but of the teams The colts have, left that's 624 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: the team that probably is the air quotes here easiest 625 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: for The colts to, play and it's also a team 626 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: The colts have a three game lead on in terms 627 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: of the. Division and there's kind of a couple of 628 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: different ways you can look at this or approach. This 629 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: first things first is you take care of your. Division 630 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: that game Against houston is big here on the thirtieth 631 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: the game In, jacksonville And eddie feel free to check. 632 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: THIS i want to say two thy fourteen the last 633 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: time The Indianapolis colts one a game In. Jacksonville good 634 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: news for The colts after this, year you have to 635 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: go To jacksonville the next couple of years actually been 636 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: playing In. Orlando that's where they're gonna be playing their 637 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: games as they completely redo the Old Gator ball and 638 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: WHAT i think is now known As. EverBank BUT i 639 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: think it's been at least a decade since The colts 640 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: And eddie is nodding his head, accordingly that is the 641 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: last time that The colts won a game down. There 642 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: because of having a two game lead over The jaguars, 643 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: currently and let me do a little quick check of 644 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: the schedule as far as The jaguars are. Concerned jags, Schedule, yeah, 645 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: QUICKLY i can type. It they got The cardinals coming 646 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: up On, Sunday so there is a possibility that is 647 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: a one game lead The colts have over The jaguars 648 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: going there On december. Seventh it is certainly possible because 649 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: The jaguars played The cardinals and The titans back to. 650 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: Back colts of The texans at. Home in, theory you 651 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: take care of. Business, now there probably a one and 652 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: no better than a two game lead going to that. 653 00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: Game so for all of the games coming up for 654 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: The Indianapolis, colts you could make a point that the 655 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: most important game of their season is the game In 656 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville december the. Seventh if you win that game and 657 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: have a two or a three game lead plus the 658 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 1: tiebreaker with four games left to, go then the way 659 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: you Approach december is completely. Different if you go back 660 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: to last, year The Houston texas kept losing games In, 661 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: december but by, god nobody behind them can actually catch. Them, 662 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: well now it's The colts that are in that position 663 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 1: and hoping not to have a replay of how things 664 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: played out a season. Ago and there's a lot of, 665 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: folks AND i understand, it a lot of folks that are, saying, 666 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: Hey colts have been good so, far but look at their. 667 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: Schedule eight and two just might be ten and. Seven 668 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: this is now the proven time of the year for 669 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: The Indianapolis. Colts it starts this week against The Kansas City, 670 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: chiefs but to, me it's the next two games against divisional. 671 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: Foes here against The Houston texans On november thirtyeth first 672 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: home game in five weeks for The Indianapolis, colts and 673 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: then it's the game In Jacksville december the. Seventh to, 674 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: me that is truly what is going to determine what 675 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: the regular season will look like and what the path 676 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: to the postseason will look.

Minutes 719 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 1: that game knocked me out. Cold that was an awful football. 720 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 4: GAME i tried to watch, it AND i literally sat 721 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,959 Speaker 4: there on my phone looking at everything under the sun 722 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 4: and not watching the. Game it was, on BUT i 723 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 4: wasn't watching. It so, now awful football. Game and you, 724 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 4: KNOW i think we have to see whether we actually 725 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 4: get some Flex monday. NIGHTERS i think that's on the, 726 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 4: TABLE i, think BUT i don't know if they're actually 727 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 4: going to do. It they're not going to flex The, 728 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 4: cowboys let's be. Honest but you, know we just have 729 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 4: to suck it up and watch it because they're never 730 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 4: flexing The. Cowboys it is what it. Is but that 731 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 4: Game america did not. 732 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: Deserve that, game no for and as bad as The 733 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: cowboys are have, been et, cetera The raiders even, worse 734 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: which is why that one went the way of The. 735 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 1: Cowboys so you're telling me you did not feel the 736 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 1: need to go To panama for stem cell treatment during 737 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 1: your Vibe. 738 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 4: No Because i'm not doing anything that would require me 739 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 4: to need stem cell. Treatment so unlike The Forest buckner 740 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 4: who has a very dangerous job but is very good at. 741 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: It, yes we can kind of chuckle and laugh at, 742 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: it but obviously this is a pretty serious. Matter what 743 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: have you kind Of gleamed on his injury recovery timetable, 744 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,360 Speaker 1: again you, know the hope is that we see him In, 745 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,280 Speaker 1: december BUT i think that is a. Hope anything you 746 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: can can shut on that, Story. 747 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 4: YEAH i don't think timetable is something that we can 748 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 4: establish just. Yet What i'd say is there has been 749 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 4: consistency on the question about whether he is expected. Back 750 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 4: that question continues to be. Yes NOW i think there's 751 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 4: a caveat, there which is hopefully and we think but 752 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 4: certainly there's some positivity about the likelihood of him. Returning you, 753 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 4: KNOW i think it's huge for The. Cold, look if 754 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 4: they can get to the finish line and wrap up 755 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 4: the division without, him you, know more power to. Them 756 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 4: BUT i think you're going to want a guy like 757 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 4: that in the, Playoffs there's no question about. It so 758 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 4: if he can get back to the, playoffs that would be. 759 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 4: Plenty AND i am not rubber stamping all those games in. 760 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 4: Between they got a lot of work to do and 761 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 4: this thing ain't even close to. Finished But i'm just 762 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 4: sort of looking at, it you, know with maybe some realism, 763 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 4: here AND i think what you hope is that they 764 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 4: can finish the job and have him for the. Postseason 765 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 4: and the REASON i think that's so, important other than 766 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 4: the obvious because the games are, important is because you're 767 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,760 Speaker 4: going to face some top notch quarterbacks and you want 768 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 4: that guy going after those quarterbacks that you were going 769 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,720 Speaker 4: to see in the. Postseason SO i think that's really. 770 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 4: That you, know if they get an outcome that's maybe not. 771 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 4: Optimum optimum would be four, games but anything less than, 772 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 4: THAT i think you're what you're hoping for is you 773 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 4: get him for the start of the. 774 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: Playoffs this turns into like a defensive philosophy x's and o's. 775 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: Conversation i'll acknowledge. That but and now again where everybody's, 776 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: healthy and there's still not exactly clarity on Mooney ward yet, 777 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: either but literally lining up on the line of scrimmage 778 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: With Sauce, gardner Mooney ward And Kenny moore the, second 779 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: how does that allow you to mask not having it 780 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: To Forest. 781 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 4: Buckner, well the whole the whole point about you, know 782 00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 4: rushing or covering is we cannot look at them. Singularly 783 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 4: they are always. Linked so the idea here is get 784 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 4: that quarterback to hold onto that ball a split second, 785 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 4: longer and good things can. HAPPEN i actually have maintained all. 786 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 4: ALONG i think that their defensive line is not far 787 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 4: away from really being very. IMPACTFUL i actually think the 788 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 4: number suggest that they have been pretty, impactful even THOUGH 789 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 4: i think on a down to down, basis there are 790 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,439 Speaker 4: times when maybe it doesn't feel that. WAY i think 791 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 4: that's just THE nfl. Today quarterbacks make big, plays they're 792 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 4: getting interference, calls they're throwing the ball down the. Field, 793 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 4: look that's just THE. Nfl this is happening to every. Team, 794 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 4: okay so understand that, part and then to your, POINT 795 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 4: i think the bottom line is you can compensate for 796 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 4: it a little bit for that loss Of buckner a little. 797 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,880 Speaker 4: Bit he's. Great you can't mask it, completely but you 798 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 4: can't compensate a little bit with some really good coverage 799 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 4: on the back end and from where they started the 800 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 4: season at. Cornerback so where they are now or where 801 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 4: they hope to. BE i guess If Mooney ward comes 802 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 4: back this, week which seems, HOPEFUL i, mean you're talking 803 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 4: about night and, Day so this is a this is 804 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 4: an incredible opportunity for them to go out there and 805 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 4: really be dominant on the back end for maybe the first. 806 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: Time, frankly when you're eight and, two you don't have 807 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: anywhere near the amount of questions that other teams. Have 808 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 1: and if there have been question marks about The, colts 809 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: it's been more on the defensive side than the offensive 810 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: side until the last couple of, weeks and all of a, 811 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 1: Sudden Daniel jones has been seeing more. Pressure having time 812 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 1: to go back and watch these last two, WEEKS i 813 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: know that the conversation in terms of player and coaches 814 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: pick up as of, tomorrow but just with a little 815 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: more room in the rearview mirror thoughts on why suddenly 816 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: there's been a lot more traffic in and Around Daniel 817 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: jones in the backfield in The pittsburgh game and of 818 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 1: The falcons. 819 00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 4: Game it really defies, logic, honestly BECAUSE i think going 820 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 4: into That pittsburgh, GAME i PERSONALLY i can attest to, 821 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 4: this OR i, MEAN i guess admit to. THIS i 822 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 4: was on record SAYING i don't know If i've seen 823 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 4: this offensive line play, better AND i mean over the, 824 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 4: years so over the LAST i don't, know decades or, 825 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 4: SO i think even going back to like the beginning 826 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 4: of The Quinton nelson era for, example LIKE i WAS 827 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 4: i was actually convinced this might have been the best 828 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 4: performance in that, era this offensive, line and we've thrown 829 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 4: from that to what we've seen the last two. Weeks 830 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 4: it's not. Okay it's not, acceptable AND i think the 831 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 4: tackles in, particular that's WHERE i didn't expect the problem to, 832 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 4: be and that's where the problem has. Been the two. 833 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 4: Tackles the INTERIOR i think has been. ACCEPTABLE i don't 834 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 4: have a big problem with. That but they're getting edge. Pressure, 835 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 4: look they faced some really good edge, players don't get me. 836 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 4: Wrong pittsburgh, certainly And, atlanta you, know gave him all 837 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 4: they can handle as. Well but that doesn't explain all of. 838 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 4: IT i, mean it's not as if other teams don't 839 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 4: have high end pass. Rushers they have faced high end pass. 840 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,359 Speaker 4: RUSHERS i, mean they Played denver for crying out loud 841 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 4: earlier this, year, Right SO i DON'T i don't have 842 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 4: a good explanation for. IT i want to say after 843 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 4: The pittsburgh, GAME i, Said, okay bad. Game you, know 844 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 4: maybe they can maybe they can just put in a re. 845 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 4: Mirror maybe it's just a one. Off The atlanta game 846 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 4: raises the prospect that it was not and that should be, 847 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 4: alarming AND i think what also has to be addressed 848 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 4: is that in the midst of all of, That Daniel 849 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 4: jones has to do a better job of holding onto the. Ball, 850 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 4: look he's getting just absolutely. BOMBARDED i get, that And 851 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 4: i'm not blaming the victim, here but he's got to 852 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 4: be aware of what's happening and when they're getting after 853 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 4: him like, that he's got to be smart and he's 854 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 4: got to get rid of the ball or hang under the. 855 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 4: Ball and the last THING i would say is that 856 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 4: there have been a few, INSTANCES i think in the 857 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 4: last two games where he has held the ball in 858 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 4: the pocket a split second too long and that has 859 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 4: added to the problems that we are seeing as. Well 860 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 4: so it is a collective, Issue BUT i would go 861 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 4: back to the tackles being the starting point of all. 862 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 1: This let's get to award, season shall? We the REALISTIC 863 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: i guess the percentage verbalize everyone to say just how 864 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: real IS jt being AN? Mvp how legitimate is that 865 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: seven weeks left to? 866 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 4: GO i think it's. REAL i think he's gonna have 867 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 4: to do, more, though and which sounds crazy coming off 868 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 4: the game that he just. Had BUT i just think 869 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 4: the margin for error for a running back to win 870 00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 4: that award is so, Slim like he has to be. 871 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 4: Dominant you can't play the way he played in The 872 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 4: berlin game every, week, granted, RIGHT i mean that's it's, 873 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,360 Speaker 4: Ridiculous BUT i do think you have to be pretty dominant. 874 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 4: Consistently you, know you look at The pittsburgh game the week, 875 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 4: before and if you have a couple of those back to, 876 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 4: back now you're the conversation fades and people were already 877 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 4: probably not inclined to vote for you as a as 878 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,280 Speaker 4: a running, back and he could lose steam really. Quickly, 879 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 4: Right SO i think it's really just going to boil 880 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 4: down to. Consistency AND i think This Kansas city game 881 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 4: is a great, Opportunity like a lot of the country 882 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 4: is going to be able to watch that. GAME i 883 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 4: think there's some anticipation clearly about you, know how The 884 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,759 Speaker 4: chiefs are going to. Perform you, know there's gonna be 885 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 4: eyeballs on that. Game you've got to go out there and, 886 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 4: PERFORM i think at a really high level in the 887 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 4: games people are. Watching they've got A monday night game next, 888 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 4: Month they've got a game At. SEATTLE i imagine that's 889 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 4: a game where there could be lots of, millions you, 890 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 4: know maybe millions of viewers for that. Game so WHAT 891 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 4: i would say is that's what he's got to. Do 892 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 4: he's got to come through in the games people are, 893 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 4: watching and he's got to really just be consistent. OVERALL 894 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 4: i do think it's still on the table though he. 895 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 4: IS i, mean what he's putting together is, remarkable and 896 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 4: then this season the likely suspects are pernically not, there you, 897 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 4: know The mahomes that they lose On? Sunday are we 898 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 4: really talking about a five and six quarterback of the 899 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 4: five and Six chiefs being in the? Conversation what are 900 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 4: we talking? 901 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 3: About? 902 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 4: Right so it's a perfect storm for him to do 903 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 4: it if he, can you, know not lose. 904 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,799 Speaker 1: Team on the flip, SIDE i would a flip. Side 905 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 1: BUT i guess to a smaller, scale who Is Tyler 906 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: warren competing against For rookie of The. 907 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 4: Year that's a great question, himself, RIGHT i don't. KNOW i, 908 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 4: mean he is he is really doing at a great. 909 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 4: JOB i actually THINK i actually think that he is 910 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 4: in the running For All pro at that position right. 911 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 4: NOW i, mean that's how good he's been this. Season 912 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,319 Speaker 4: that's a great. Question let's think about. THIS i don't 913 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 4: even know who would who would really be who would 914 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 4: really be the the the leading candidates outside of, HIM 915 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,760 Speaker 4: i guess it would Be igluca From Tampa. 916 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 1: BAY i believe it's a rookie, correct, correct. 917 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 4: Right so like he'd be one the what is the 918 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 4: The browns running Back, Judkins he's had a really interesting. 919 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 4: YEAR i, mean, look they're The, browns and no one 920 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 4: knows the kind of season he's, having but he is 921 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 4: having a really good. SEASON i think that's kind of. 922 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 4: It and McMillan In carolina's having a good YEAR i, 923 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 4: think quietly having a good. Year And Bryce Bryce young 924 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,959 Speaker 4: by the, way really coming. On so If Bryce young 925 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 4: finishes really, strong you gotta think McMillan would would be 926 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 4: a big part of. That SO i think those are 927 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 4: kind of the AND i believe it's offensive rookie of. 928 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 1: The year and, correct, Correct so so those be. 929 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:04,400 Speaker 4: His those would be his. Competitors BUT i, mean let's be, 930 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 4: Honest Kywitt warren's probably gonna end up or very possibly 931 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 4: could end up leading this team in receptions and receiving, 932 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,959 Speaker 4: yards and he's in effect they're number one receiver many. 933 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,360 Speaker 4: Days so that's a pretty impressive thing to say about 934 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,879 Speaker 4: the offense that has been pretty much the number one 935 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 4: offense all season. 936 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: Long Again Steven OLDER espn joining us on The Java 937 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 1: House peel and poor guest. Line It's Gregor rakestraw and 938 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: For Jake query here on ninety three to five and 939 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: one oh seven five to the, fan what, sense if, 940 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 1: any can you make of the fact that the last 941 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: two times The Indianapolis colts can see The chiefs have, 942 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 1: played The Indianapolis colts have been The, WELL i. 943 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,920 Speaker 4: Think the only real takeaway because there's really no connective 944 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 4: tissue between those. Games BUT i would say the takeaway is, 945 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 4: that you, know that's why they play the, games, Right 946 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 4: and that's that's cliche and all, that but but it 947 00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 4: it says something about, how you, KNOW i, think look 948 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 4: at look at The, colts, right they're eight and, two 949 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 4: and forget about this. Game let's talk about just in, 950 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,320 Speaker 4: general like they're gonna have a couple of games Against, Houston, 951 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 4: jacksonville et cetera down the stretch and they're gonna be heavily. 952 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 4: Favored you would, think, right, right but we know, better 953 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 4: we know. Better but BUT i guess What i'm saying, is, 954 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 4: look you gotta go out, there and you gotta, finish 955 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 4: and you got to actually show up and do. It 956 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,400 Speaker 4: that's ALL i can. Say and, then, frankly the other 957 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 4: thing is is about rising to the occasion. Too there's 958 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 4: there's something to be said for getting up for a big. 959 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 4: Game and it's a weird sort of, deal. Right Michael 960 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 4: pittman was talking about this last, week the fact that 961 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 4: for The, colts this feels like a game that they're 962 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 4: getting up, for like it's a big, game that's a big. 963 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 4: Challenge they got to go play this five hundred team 964 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 4: on the. Road but that five hundred team happened to 965 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 4: have been in the last Three Super, Bowls so they 966 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 4: they actually don't feel like the the team that's that's 967 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 4: got the upper hand. Here they're kind of taking this underdog. 968 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 4: APPROACH i don't know if anybody's buying, it but but 969 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 4: that's kind of how they're, operating AND i think it's 970 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 4: working for. Them so they don't they don't really feel 971 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,959 Speaker 4: themselves as being sort of this this you, know this 972 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 4: this favorite and this this overbearing favorite from week to. 973 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:21,959 Speaker 4: Week they still think they got a lot to prove 974 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 4: that's a good. 975 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 1: Thing, finally before we let you, go and AGAIN i 976 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: made represents in the last second of the. Show if 977 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: if someone is not on board with The, colts it 978 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 1: is easy to look at their schedule and s are. 979 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: Right they're eight and. Two, now here's the seven teams 980 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: that are. Left maybe this is a ten win football. 981 00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: Team and every time we do predictions like, these is 982 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: it in a. Vacuum you never know who might miss 983 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: for getting, injured whether it's your, team their, team whatever 984 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 1: the case may. 985 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 4: Be eight and. 986 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,960 Speaker 1: Two, now if you AND i are having this conversation 987 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: On january the, fifth as you see this team as it's, built, 988 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 1: now how many wins do you think they have After 989 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: january the? 990 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 4: Fourth so you're talking about in the, Playoffs. 991 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking about what is that regular season record going 992 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 1: to be going to the? PLAYOFFS i got, you that's 993 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: a great. 994 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 4: QUESTION I i think they've got seven. LEFT i think 995 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 4: they've they've got to win four of these last, seven 996 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 4: which gets you to. TWELVE i THINK i think twelve 997 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 4: is a really nice number and an achievable. Number i'm 998 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 4: gonna give them some grace down the. STRETCH i think 999 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,800 Speaker 4: they'll lose a couple of, these and there's there's too 1000 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,520 Speaker 4: many pitfalls for it to not, happen you. Know and 1001 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 4: you're gonna have some teams that are scratching and, clawing you, 1002 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 4: know desperation. Situations you, know down the, stretch they're gonna slip. 1003 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 4: Up you, know we've already talked about them missing The Force, 1004 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 4: buckner So i'm gonna give them some. Grace but getting 1005 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 4: to twelve gets you a whole lot right. Now SO 1006 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 4: i think that will they be the number one. SEED 1007 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 4: i don't, know we'll see that they got the work 1008 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 4: cut out for, them BUT i see them winning the 1009 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 4: division and being one of those top seeds in THE. 1010 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 4: Afc if they can just finish the, job then that's 1011 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 4: going to be the. 1012 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Key thanks for the time of the, inside my. Friend 1013 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 1: i'll see To Martha complex all, right you got it. 1014 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: Again that Is Stephen holder OF espn and he is 1015 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: joining us courtesy of The Java. House peel and poor guest. 1016 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: Line we'll get back to the colts coming up likely 1017 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 1: during the two o'clock are of the. Show very guest 1018 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 1: heavy between now in about two, fifteen then you and 1019 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: me to wrap up the show by the, way going 1020 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: into last weekend With Jonathan tailor not. Playing here were 1021 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:47,919 Speaker 1: THE NFL mvp Odds Matthew, stafford followed By Drake, may 1022 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 1: followed By Jonathan, taylor followed By Patrick, mahomes, who again 1023 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 1: To steven's, point is on the quarterback of a five 1024 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: and five football. Team not THAT i think that's going 1025 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 1: to make The colts job any easier in terms of 1026 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,360 Speaker 1: being In Kansas city On sunday, afternoon and Then Josh 1027 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 1: allen is. Fifth SO i would say going into the, 1028 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: week Maybe Drake may caught up With Matthew stafford a 1029 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 1: little bit because he had the stage On thursday to. 1030 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Himself stafford led his team to a, victory but against 1031 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 1: a really good defense in terms of The Seattle, seahawks 1032 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: one that again will be on The Indianapolis, colts you 1033 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 1: know radar sooner rather than. Later so MAYBE jt is 1034 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 1: holding in. Third maybe that Is stafford And may neck 1035 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: And NECK jt right behind. Them Maybe allen has jumped 1036 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: into fourth And Patrick maholmes has jumped into. Fifth, again 1037 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: not to just you, know repeat or reiterate what we 1038 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 1: talked about in the last segment of the, show but 1039 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 1: maybe to further EMPHASIZE i think This colts football team 1040 01:01:54,920 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 1: is a good football, team but let's acknowledge how tough 1041 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 1: the next three places are they are going to play 1042 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 1: not Named Lucas Oil stadium In Kansas. City, now are 1043 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 1: The chiefs as good as they have? Been clearly. Not 1044 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 1: are The chiefs a desperate football? Team clearly they. Are 1045 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: someday will not be easy for The Indianapolis. Colts next 1046 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 1: road game is In. Jacksonville, again think we stated just 1047 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: how the history has been for The. Colts, again because 1048 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: it's the team directly behind, you that is what makes 1049 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 1: that game so difficult for The. Colts, again of all 1050 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 1: of the games The colts have left on their, schedule to, 1051 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 1: me that is the single most important game they have 1052 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 1: the remainder of the year is In. Jacksonville it completely 1053 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: changes the conversation on the back end depending on what 1054 01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 1: you do win or lose on that game On december the, 1055 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 1: seventh and then after that you had to go play In, 1056 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: seattle you know where they specifically built the stadium to 1057 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: send as much noise back on top of you as, 1058 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 1: possible and knowing you got to make that cross country 1059 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 1: trip to get out. There now maybe you have to 1060 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 1: going To, berlin going To seattle doesn't seem so, bad 1061 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 1: And seattle seemingly has some issues in terms of what 1062 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,640 Speaker 1: they can do. Offensively Sam darnold kept throwing the ball 1063 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to The Los Angeles rams in their game on one 1064 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: of the many huge. Games if there was a week 1065 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: for The colts to be off and you just wanted 1066 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 1: to watch some good, football some important. Matchups one of 1067 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,800 Speaker 1: those didn't happen last, night but a lot of those 1068 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 1: happened in terms of the games that were played On, 1069 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 1: sunday And rams And seahawks almost got buried because it 1070 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: was opposite The broncos And, chiefs especially for here because 1071 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 1: we frankly care more about THE. Afc but the next 1072 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 1: three road games for The colts are not.

Assignment the only reason 1148 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 1: That wisconsin scored And indiana could pump the ball away 1149 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: on the plus side of the fifty because they knew 1150 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: their defense was getting about more. Points, again very efficient 1151 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,400 Speaker 1: in Beating wisconsin for a third consecutive tim all, right so. 1152 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 1: Much you know, What because of you AND i know 1153 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 1: each others as well as we, DO i can try 1154 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,600 Speaker 1: to go kind of rando on the questions and they 1155 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: lead to some great. Results so here's one thing that 1156 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:24,720 Speaker 1: struck me in watching the game On saturday is that 1157 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: there have been all of these Renovations Memorial, stadium and 1158 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: now we're Hitting max's capacity pretty. Easily has there been 1159 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: any talk about trying to find a way to Expand Memorial? 1160 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,719 Speaker 1: Stadium merchants Bank, Field, mind you Have Memorial? Stadium could 1161 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 1: there be more seats in that stadium's? Future? 1162 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,640 Speaker 3: Zacht i'm not, sure you. 1163 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 5: Know Scott dolson has made it clear that his next 1164 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,639 Speaker 5: long term capital project is a substantial renovation Of Memorial. 1165 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:56,520 Speaker 5: Stadium those, things you, know do take. Longer now, realistically 1166 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 5: you are you, know if you're funneling, ten, teen twenty 1167 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 5: million donor, dollars we're into a. 1168 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 3: Collective you. 1169 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 5: Know IT'S i know that doesn't seem like, Much but 1170 01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 5: if you're paying for A i don't, know a two 1171 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,680 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars stadium renovation over twenty, years that's ten 1172 01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 5: million dollars a. Year that ten million might be going 1173 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 5: to nil. Now so it's just gonna take a little 1174 01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:17,600 Speaker 5: bit longer to get some of that. 1175 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 3: TOGETHER i think that's one reason. 1176 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,679 Speaker 5: Why you, know it certainly seemed just kind of reading 1177 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 5: the room Like indiana was happy to sort of fall 1178 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 5: in line on the private capital discussions THAT i think 1179 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 5: this week have kind of hit some snags. 1180 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 3: At the big ten. 1181 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 5: LEVEL i don't know exactly what all is going to 1182 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 5: go into the scope of. THAT i think that the 1183 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 5: the the big, thing that the one big ticket. Item 1184 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,640 Speaker 5: i'm pretty confident as in When indiana moves forward on 1185 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 5: that is going to be press box renovation slash premium, 1186 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 5: seating and obviously you know those are a little bit. 1187 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 3: One and the. 1188 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 5: SAME i think you're going to see some premium seating 1189 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,920 Speaker 5: areas that they try to open up in other areas 1190 01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 5: of the. Stadium we've seen obviously the suites that they've 1191 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 5: put together in the south end zone that are similar 1192 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 5: to the ones that they have like The Big ten 1193 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 5: championship game and at some playoff games and, things just 1194 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,639 Speaker 5: like the on field. Stuff BUT i think they probably 1195 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 5: like to carve out some small, areas like within the seating, 1196 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 5: bowl for a little bit more premium type. 1197 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,320 Speaker 3: Seating i'm not sure exactly how they do. THAT i 1198 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 3: am confident that they want to replace that press. BOX 1199 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 3: i don't say this. 1200 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 5: Lightly it may very well be the worst in The Big, 1201 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 5: ten certainly now That Penn state has demolished the bandbox 1202 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,639 Speaker 5: that it had At Beaver stadium and rebuilt something. Modern 1203 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,679 Speaker 5: on the other, Side indiana is well behind the times. 1204 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 5: There and that's not just press. 1205 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 3: Complaining you. Know most of that is donor. Seating four 1206 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:40,760 Speaker 3: is donor. 1207 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 5: Seating five is, pressed six is donor, seating and then 1208 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 5: seven is a broadcast. Area so if you demolish that 1209 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,759 Speaker 5: and expand, it that's probably going to be more. Revenue 1210 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,759 Speaker 5: that's going to be more again luxury seating or premium. 1211 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 5: SEATING i Think indiana would really like to tackle. THAT 1212 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 5: i have heard rumors about expanding, SEATING i think in 1213 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 5: particular possibly adding a second deck on the east, side which. 1214 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,880 Speaker 3: Is The assembly hall. SIDE i don't know how true that. 1215 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 5: IS i don't even know how feasible that is given 1216 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,800 Speaker 5: the ground over, there and you'd have to do all 1217 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,560 Speaker 5: kinds of like engineering impact, Studies but that IS i 1218 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 5: think been much more in sort of The, hey wouldn't 1219 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 5: it be cool If indiana did this realm of chatter 1220 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,800 Speaker 5: rather than something THAT i am confident in saying would 1221 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 5: be part of any. 1222 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,000 Speaker 1: Renovation, Again Zach, Astraman, Indianapolis starr and The Java, House 1223 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 1: peel And port guest, Line Greg ranks raw and For 1224 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 1: Jay query NINE a three to five and one oh 1225 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 1: seven to five the. Fans so the next one needs 1226 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: a little build up. Here, obviously we're a couple three 1227 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,120 Speaker 1: weeks away From Indiana kentucky playing in a regular season 1228 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: basketball game for the first time since The watch shot 1229 01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 1: for the first time in fourteen. Years yet, remarkably that 1230 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:57,959 Speaker 1: game might get trumped By Fernando mendozo winning The. Heisman 1231 01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: which of the those events are you, Covering? Zach are 1232 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,760 Speaker 1: you going To New York city for A? Heisman are 1233 01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:05,560 Speaker 1: you DOING eu AND? 1234 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,800 Speaker 5: Uk, yeah that's a good, question AND i don't know 1235 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 5: if we have a firm answer, yet to be honest with, 1236 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,759 Speaker 5: YOU i, THINK i, mean, like there's been a hotel 1237 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 5: booked In lexington for a, while just because we can 1238 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 5: plan those things, out and that's a drive so it's 1239 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 5: a little bit easier to move. Around But i'm honestly 1240 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 5: not sure of the answer BECAUSE i think, it you, 1241 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 5: know until, Recently Fernana mendoza felt like a, contender but 1242 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 5: maybe not the contender or one of the you, know 1243 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 5: sort of smallest group of leading. CONTENDERS i think that 1244 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 5: has certainly changed in the last two or three. Weeks you, 1245 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 5: know you AND i can sit here and debate the 1246 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 5: merits and the flaws of the, heisman but the reality 1247 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 5: is that he is starting to meet you, know some 1248 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 5: of the not just the, numbers but the. MOMENTS i 1249 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 5: think that that tend to kind of compose A heisman. 1250 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,640 Speaker 5: Resume in insofar as what it's going to look like this. 1251 01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 5: YEAR i think there's gonna be some conversation about everybody 1252 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 5: stats being. DEFLATED i think there's going to be some 1253 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 5: conversation about the way that coaches are handling players in 1254 01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,600 Speaker 5: a playoff ero when they know that there's not just 1255 01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 5: one or maybe two games on the other side of 1256 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:13,679 Speaker 5: the regular. Season but if You're indiana Or Ohio, state 1257 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 5: you're open to plan for a, big good championship. Game 1258 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 5: you're open to plans for three playoff. Games you, know 1259 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 5: that's the fifteen game. Season there's gonna be some of 1260 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 5: these teams that are gonna be looking at a potential 1261 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 5: sixteen game, season. 1262 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 6: You know. 1263 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 5: THAT i think there's been more sort of shortening, games 1264 01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 5: benching guys, late you, know leaving leaving some numbers on the, 1265 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 5: field in favor of kind of grabbing almost just like saying, 1266 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,000 Speaker 5: like if we can grab a couple of games out 1267 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,719 Speaker 5: of your, legs a couple of games where the hits 1268 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 5: out of your you, know your your body and your 1269 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:45,280 Speaker 5: arm and whatever, Else we're going to do. That AND 1270 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 5: i think it's, it's you, know that's a wider philosophical, 1271 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,320 Speaker 5: discussion BUT i think that Where Fernando mendoza is right, 1272 01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:57,280 Speaker 5: now and as much as, this as much as this specific, 1273 01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 5: award is driven by a narrative that just sort of 1274 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:03,680 Speaker 5: develops organically across course of the season that narrative this 1275 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:05,560 Speaker 5: year feeling more and more like the winner of The 1276 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 5: Big ten championship game gets The Heisman. 1277 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 3: Trophy.

Ended given how the last five six 1568 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 1: weeks have, Gone what is it like to go from 1569 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: such a switch of reality From Father's day weekend till 1570 01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:35,559 Speaker 1: now with The Indiana. 1571 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:38,640 Speaker 8: Pacers, yeah it's a remarkable, shift it really. IS i, 1572 01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,679 Speaker 8: mean you have a game last night and social media 1573 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 8: not very. Active those that are obviously and understandably so, 1574 01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,599 Speaker 8: UPSET i, mean the worst starting franchise. History and yet 1575 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 8: at the same, time some of it is Understandable rake 1576 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:55,320 Speaker 8: obviously with all the injuries and far too many injuries 1577 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 8: than any team should have to put up with in 1578 01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:02,320 Speaker 8: an entire. Season but to, me what compounds the. Issues to, 1579 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,600 Speaker 8: me it's the. Details it's some of the levels of. 1580 01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 8: Play it's two games ago against The raptors giving up 1581 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:11,000 Speaker 8: thirty points in the paint in one. Quarter it's the 1582 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,559 Speaker 8: turnovers last night with twenty one so as a whole 1583 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 8: to the big. Picture yet is a dramatic shift going 1584 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 8: from this central hub of basketball Where pacers it's the 1585 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,519 Speaker 8: high of, highs and then you go right into a fever. 1586 01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,840 Speaker 8: Season and Then i've reiterated it feels like this last 1587 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 8: six months or, So i've furthered my degree in sports injury, 1588 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 8: history and that's not a good THING i don't. 1589 01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:37,439 Speaker 1: Like all, Right so have you shouted out to let 1590 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 1: your attention start to focus to whom The pacers are 1591 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,920 Speaker 1: taking in THE nba draft In? June have you gotten 1592 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 1: to that point? Yet, NO i have, Not and here's. 1593 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,599 Speaker 8: Why one not to this, extreme, Certainly but The pacers 1594 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,320 Speaker 8: kind of went through this injury bug last, year very, 1595 01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 8: reminiscent with several starters Out Nimhard, Halliburton Nie, smith all 1596 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 8: of those guys missing time to the point WHERE i 1597 01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,160 Speaker 8: still remember A november game In houston where a two 1598 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,479 Speaker 8: way guard Named Quintin, jackson who's still with them, obviously 1599 01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,559 Speaker 8: was THE gott in the starting lineup and was their top. 1600 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 8: Score so to, me What i'm looking for is the 1601 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,760 Speaker 8: next dozen. Games it's kind of the make or break to, me, 1602 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,160 Speaker 8: right you'll be by then twenty six games, in you'll 1603 01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 8: be Approaching christmas. Time there's some very winnable games during that. 1604 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,120 Speaker 8: Stretch if things stay off the rails a little bit 1605 01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:29,800 Speaker 8: over the next dozen, games do not improve, significantly THEN 1606 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 8: i turn my attention to what's. Next But i'd like 1607 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 8: to see a much bigger sample size to better understand 1608 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,639 Speaker 8: whether this team could you, know win AN Nba finals 1609 01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 8: or the other side of. It if you just got 1610 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,400 Speaker 8: to you, know scratch and put band aids over the 1611 01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,840 Speaker 8: rest of the season and have the front office and 1612 01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 8: scouts really lock in for next. 1613 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,600 Speaker 1: SUMMER i am of the opinion there is not some 1614 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 1: sort of blockbuster move coming because, again the team you 1615 01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: built for this year, is frank the team you have 1616 01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:01,160 Speaker 1: in your contract for next, year and the team of 1617 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,439 Speaker 1: the contract for the year after that, too with the 1618 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 1: obvious exception Of Benedict. Matherin so with that as the, 1619 01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:11,720 Speaker 1: caveat do you see any sort of moves and not 1620 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,919 Speaker 1: by moves in terms of bringing you, know ten day contract, 1621 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:19,280 Speaker 1: guys because obviously we have seen that hardship, contracts. Etc 1622 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 1: do you see a trade at all for this team this? 1623 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:23,720 Speaker 8: Year not. 1624 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:24,200 Speaker 4: Yet. 1625 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,640 Speaker 8: NO i don't see it being a situation like we 1626 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,320 Speaker 8: saw early last year when they were without a center 1627 01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:33,519 Speaker 8: and desperately needed something and went out and Acquired Thomas 1628 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 8: bryant and then later picking Up Tony bradley and. SUCH 1629 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,559 Speaker 8: i think, Again i'll go back to that dozen games 1630 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 8: or so because to your, point then if you know 1631 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:48,200 Speaker 8: this season isn't at all, competitive then you might think 1632 01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:52,640 Speaker 8: about moving on and seeing if there's any deals that 1633 01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:54,880 Speaker 8: makes sense for both. TEAMS i don't think there's any 1634 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 8: assets on this roster right, Now craig that you immediately 1635 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,160 Speaker 8: look to trade or or. 1636 01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:01,200 Speaker 1: WHATEVER i. 1637 01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,360 Speaker 8: Think for for, Example matherin's the obvious, name BUT i 1638 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,920 Speaker 8: think both sides want to see what this season can. 1639 01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,760 Speaker 8: Entail and last night was Just matherin's third, game and 1640 01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 8: if he really breaks out and maybe he becomes a 1641 01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 8: pillar for this franchise moving. Forward on the other, side 1642 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,320 Speaker 8: maybe it's just not a good, fit the playing, styles 1643 01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,760 Speaker 8: all of, that and they do decide to move on 1644 01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:23,720 Speaker 8: knowing also the other thing they have to keep in, 1645 01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 8: mind not just next, year but future, years is how 1646 01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 8: much money they've committed and. Where because they Got Pascal 1647 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 8: siakam on a max, contract you Have Tyrese haliburton on 1648 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,839 Speaker 8: a max. Contract you just Gave Nie smith the. Extension 1649 01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:38,920 Speaker 8: all their guys except for Really Miles turner got new 1650 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,680 Speaker 8: money in the last two, years and so you got 1651 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,479 Speaker 8: to forecast that out about three, years and where Does 1652 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 8: matherin fit. IN i think that will be a better 1653 01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 8: question to be answered In. 1654 01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,840 Speaker 1: January Scott agnes Again Field House files and The Java 1655 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 1: House peel and poor guest, Line Greg regstraw and For 1656 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:55,760 Speaker 1: jake querret a ninety three to five and one seven 1657 01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,160 Speaker 1: to five of The. Fan but, again you're asking guys 1658 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 1: to do different things than they were as the parts 1659 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,519 Speaker 1: were assembled last. Year again kind of a qualifier BEFORE 1660 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:07,880 Speaker 1: i give you the, question who are the guys you 1661 01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 1: are most concerned with with regression that you have seen 1662 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: so far this? 1663 01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:17,599 Speaker 8: SEASON i would say from a regression, STANDPOINT i WOULD 1664 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:19,599 Speaker 8: i would the first guy that comes to mind as 1665 01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:19,880 Speaker 8: A Ben. 1666 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 1: Sheppard, yeah and you are. 1667 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,840 Speaker 8: Right one of the things that has challenged this entire 1668 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 8: roster is they've all had to do a lot. More 1669 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:30,439 Speaker 8: the first GUY i think of His Pascal siakom in that, 1670 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 8: respect and from a leadership, standpoint from the on court, 1671 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:36,920 Speaker 8: workload from playing more minutes than maybe he would like, 1672 01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:38,960 Speaker 8: TO i, mean they'd like to keep him around thirty. 1673 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,920 Speaker 8: Minutes he's been playing thirty six and thirty. Four but 1674 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,519 Speaker 8: from the other AND i, guess probably quite, frankly would 1675 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:48,680 Speaker 8: Be Isaiah, jackson with the caveat being he is just 1676 01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 8: one year exactly removed from That, Achille So i'd probably 1677 01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,599 Speaker 8: give him another three month buffer to work his way. 1678 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:58,200 Speaker 8: Back that probably me being a little too cautious and 1679 01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:01,920 Speaker 8: optimistic and. Such but those achilles injuries are. Nasty but 1680 01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 8: to me it's probably Been Shepard Jaris. WALKER i don't 1681 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,560 Speaker 8: know if he's. Regressed he just hasn't risen to the 1682 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:11,680 Speaker 8: moment it's felt too big or a little bit. UNCOMFORTABLE 1683 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,800 Speaker 8: i think maybe it goes back to a little bit 1684 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,320 Speaker 8: What Pascal Siakam greg was saying the other day was 1685 01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:19,679 Speaker 8: guy's got to play more confident in their own, game 1686 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 8: in what they're, doing being more assured of themselves because 1687 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 8: when they're, not the passes are getting intercepted or they're 1688 01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,240 Speaker 8: they're overthinking. Everything and we talk about this all the 1689 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:32,360 Speaker 8: time right in, sports is when you're overthinking out, there 1690 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 8: you're not playing free and things just get held. Up 1691 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 8: and it feels like that's a lot of what is 1692 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:39,560 Speaker 8: transpired right now with this. 1693 01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 1: GROUP i touched on, this you, know in terms of 1694 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,320 Speaker 1: things are keeping me interested of this. Group, Obviously matherin's 1695 01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:49,400 Speaker 1: development is, One Jeris walker's development is. Two probably third 1696 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 1: Is Johnny Furfy and, obviously you, know from an injury, 1697 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,960 Speaker 1: standpoint we kind of have something of a timeline For Obi, 1698 01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,720 Speaker 1: toppin something of a timeline For aaron De smith even 1699 01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,639 Speaker 1: though it's more. Recent what exactly are we hearing on furfee? 1700 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:06,880 Speaker 8: Situation, yeah So furfey had a re injury right of 1701 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,479 Speaker 8: certain things and a player that right, now he's exactly 1702 01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:13,439 Speaker 8: who you would want to be out there that could 1703 01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 8: really maximize this time and take full advantage of. That 1704 01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:21,280 Speaker 8: but unfortunately he remains out dealing with that left ankle. 1705 01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,640 Speaker 8: Sprain after just kind of tweaking, THAT i think we 1706 01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 8: don't have any exact. Timeline you're right about. THAT i 1707 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 8: would suspect a couple more weeks on that only because 1708 01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 8: we haven't gotten any, update we haven't seen him work 1709 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,280 Speaker 8: out on the court and something like. That you got 1710 01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 8: to be, ultimately ultimately cautious WITH i think one of 1711 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 8: the moving forward questions will be Once Aaron nesmith misses another, 1712 01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 8: game then the team becomes eligible for another hardship, exception 1713 01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,560 Speaker 8: do they utilize that and in what direction they. Go 1714 01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 8: but of the names on this roster THAT i would 1715 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,080 Speaker 8: love to be, Seeing Johnny furfey, Absolutely rake is number 1716 01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,599 Speaker 8: one of guys that could really help them right now 1717 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:03,800 Speaker 8: and could really benefit from this this hole where they need, 1718 01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 8: somebody anybody to step, up but he's just been unavailable. 1719 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 1: Again you're not ready to kind of cut made on 1720 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:11,040 Speaker 1: this season yet you, say, hey give it kind of 1721 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:13,800 Speaker 1: one more month and then we can have the. CONVERSATION 1722 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,840 Speaker 1: a lot of us AND i raise my. HAND i 1723 01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,800 Speaker 1: thought this to be a forty five or forty six win. 1724 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,360 Speaker 1: TEAM i really did going into the course of the. 1725 01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:25,000 Speaker 1: Season Now i'm not sure how many games it would 1726 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:27,120 Speaker 1: take for this group to win forty five or forty six. 1727 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:31,519 Speaker 1: Games how, finally BEFORE i let you, go how are 1728 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:35,880 Speaker 1: you altering season projections based on what has happened these 1729 01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:36,639 Speaker 1: first fourteen? 1730 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:37,000 Speaker 3: Games? 1731 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,920 Speaker 8: Yeah mostly, significantly significantly altering it just because of player 1732 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 8: health and. Availability when they're constantly missing starters out of the. 1733 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,720 Speaker 8: Mix you're going to See aaron Or Nie smith miss 1734 01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:51,000 Speaker 8: about a month here with a LEFT mcl. Sprain that's. 1735 01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 8: Nasty Obi toppins stress fracture in his. Foot we won't 1736 01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,600 Speaker 8: hear about him until a month into next. Year that 1737 01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,680 Speaker 8: redirects and changes everything. Absolutely BECAUSE i was right there with, 1738 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:05,599 Speaker 8: YOU i, thought even Without, HALIBURTON i think the over 1739 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,320 Speaker 8: under was about thirty six thirty seven, wins and to 1740 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:08,800 Speaker 8: me that was. 1741 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:09,280 Speaker 1: Laughable. 1742 01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,280 Speaker 8: Me Rick carlo's gonna have This, Yeah Rick carlo is 1743 01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:14,720 Speaker 8: gonna have this team over forty without a. Doubt, well 1744 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 8: that's obviously given decent, health and they've been giving horrible. 1745 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:21,679 Speaker 8: Health SO i think that number under is looking really 1746 01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,600 Speaker 8: good right. Now the challenge is they just got to 1747 01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 8: get through the next month and a, half two months 1748 01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:29,559 Speaker 8: you get into next. Year the real question then, becomes, 1749 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,560 Speaker 8: rake is it too late and what do you do 1750 01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 8: about it moving? 1751 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:33,759 Speaker 3: Forward? 1752 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:38,760 Speaker 1: Again general thought is is that as tough as this 1753 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:43,120 Speaker 1: is To, palette the worst mistake is to overreact and 1754 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 1: trade away key. Pieces AND i don't think that's going 1755 01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:48,680 Speaker 1: to Happen. Scott to, YOU i do not. 1756 01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 8: KNOW i think they really are comfortable with this, core 1757 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,200 Speaker 8: with this group that got them, there not just last, 1758 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,839 Speaker 8: year but the year before that in The Eastern conference. 1759 01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:58,720 Speaker 8: Finals AND i think part of what maybe what we're 1760 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 8: seeing is the after effects of the long seasons of 1761 01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:07,960 Speaker 8: the playing, style the extra, possessions the playing and pressuring full. Court, 1762 01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 8: look they've been doing something differently than most of the 1763 01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,200 Speaker 8: league for the last three. Seasons it's not just last 1764 01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,200 Speaker 8: year when most of the basketball fans took, Notice oh 1765 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,639 Speaker 8: this team From, Indiana why are they pressuring full court 1766 01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:23,759 Speaker 8: or why is their possessions up so? MUCH i wonder 1767 01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:27,719 Speaker 8: in a greater, study is that a big contribution about 1768 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,200 Speaker 8: what's going? On and, then of, course reaching the very 1769 01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,759 Speaker 8: last day of the finals last year in game, seven 1770 01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,679 Speaker 8: really cuts into your off season by about two, months 1771 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:39,639 Speaker 8: which directly impacts rehab and recovery and the, reset because 1772 01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:42,519 Speaker 8: By september, one this team was down In orlando with 1773 01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,679 Speaker 8: a player's only mini, camp getting the season unofficially started down, 1774 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,680 Speaker 8: There so there's a lot they got to figure out 1775 01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:51,760 Speaker 8: on the. Fly but, yes you do not overreact in 1776 01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:54,160 Speaker 8: the good. Times it's like the stock market when things 1777 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,360 Speaker 8: are going, great you don't overreact in the same thing 1778 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:58,200 Speaker 8: when things are going. 1779 01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 1: Terribly all, right what's new on Field House, Files? 1780 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,360 Speaker 8: Buddy, YEAH i got a big notebook coming out here 1781 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:07,200 Speaker 8: with a variety of things THAT i think fans will 1782 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:10,080 Speaker 8: be very interested. In a lot of different bullet.

OUT i don't Think Isaiah jackson is a 1985 01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 1: starting caliber five in THE. NBA i think he's an 1986 01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,960 Speaker 1: energy guy that plays fifteen to twenty minutes a night for. 1987 01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:44,200 Speaker 1: You at, most he is a backup big and that 1988 01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:47,879 Speaker 1: is probably stretching. It but in the system The Indiana 1989 01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:52,519 Speaker 1: pacers usually are designed to play he can pull that role. 1990 01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:56,600 Speaker 1: Off but obviously when it wasn't thought there to be 1991 01:50:56,680 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 1: much lawyer free agent moves And miles pulls at and 1992 01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:05,680 Speaker 1: The bucks you, know cut and Stretch Dame lillard to 1993 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 1: make room For Miles, turner and it catches The Indiana 1994 01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,680 Speaker 1: pacers kind of holding the bag and nobody is out 1995 01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:15,519 Speaker 1: there to replace. Him you find kind of a warm 1996 01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,000 Speaker 1: body that can shoot In Jay, huff and that's the 1997 01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:21,960 Speaker 1: best that you can. Do you just kind of shrug 1998 01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,320 Speaker 1: your shoulders and deal with the best you. Can so 1999 01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:26,640 Speaker 1: that is one of the reasons WHY i don't have 2000 01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,160 Speaker 1: a sense of optimism for this. Year, AGAIN i think 2001 01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:33,000 Speaker 1: this is going to be a rough, Slog BUT i 2002 01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,639 Speaker 1: also don't think YOU i think you make a worse 2003 01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 1: mistake by blowing it up or moving somebody else. AWAY 2004 01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:44,200 Speaker 1: i think you can go find your five of the, 2005 01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:48,200 Speaker 1: future where you are, drafting where you are likely to 2006 01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:52,840 Speaker 1: draft Come. June because, again as compared to most teams 2007 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:55,120 Speaker 1: that have a top five or a top ten, pick 2008 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,920 Speaker 1: you are not at a rebuild. Moment, no you are 2009 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:01,760 Speaker 1: at a fine and a set. Moment you literally need 2010 01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:05,120 Speaker 1: to find one guy because you feel you have all 2011 01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:12,240 Speaker 1: of the other pieces around that. Player, Now eddie had 2012 01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:15,640 Speaker 1: a scenario that didn't make the, air but prena be 2013 01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:18,320 Speaker 1: a good time to have him share it with. Us 2014 01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:21,640 Speaker 1: you were BECAUSE i, said all, right you draft the 2015 01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:24,320 Speaker 1: best available five or even kind of stretch. 2016 01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:24,639 Speaker 8: Four. 2017 01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:27,840 Speaker 1: Yep you think there's a different move you can make 2018 01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:30,000 Speaker 1: in terms of Moving mather and so. Explain. 2019 01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,679 Speaker 2: YEAH i think the more logical move in The pacers, 2020 01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:37,160 Speaker 2: position greg is because when you're a small market team 2021 01:52:37,320 --> 01:52:39,840 Speaker 2: like The pacers, are you can't afford to have a 2022 01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,160 Speaker 2: top pick and then trade. It you have to, capitalize 2023 01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:46,280 Speaker 2: especially when it's rich in those first three, spots whether 2024 01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,720 Speaker 2: It's cambuser the kid From, Kansas Darren peterson. 2025 01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:51,360 Speaker 1: Or by the, way it's not going to play a 2026 01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:52,759 Speaker 1: night due to a hamstring, injury. 2027 01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah or Aj Dia bansta the kid AT. Byu because 2028 01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:58,680 Speaker 2: those three guys are all projected to, be you, know 2029 01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:02,720 Speaker 2: really good franchise cornerstone pieces that either a can be 2030 01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:06,240 Speaker 2: the superstar for your team or be a nice complement 2031 01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:08,880 Speaker 2: of a superstar to your. Team and when you're looking 2032 01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:11,040 Speaker 2: at the timeline of things and trying to figure, Out, 2033 01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:14,760 Speaker 2: okay how do they Replace Pascal siako's production in the. 2034 01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:18,240 Speaker 2: Future that could be a potential player if The pacers 2035 01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:20,320 Speaker 2: are in the top three pick to replace him down the, 2036 01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,080 Speaker 2: line because it fits the timeline With tyres and the 2037 01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:26,720 Speaker 2: mold of this. Roster and, additionally if you do have 2038 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:29,640 Speaker 2: a top three, pick it gives you the capability of 2039 01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:34,200 Speaker 2: finding that immediate potential replacement For. Matherin that thus creates 2040 01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:36,400 Speaker 2: the opportunity to do a sign and, trade and then 2041 01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,600 Speaker 2: you can target whatever center you think would fit with 2042 01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:43,280 Speaker 2: this group of players on the roster and next To Tyrese, 2043 01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:44,040 Speaker 2: Haliburn so you. 2044 01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:46,400 Speaker 1: Use mathern as a tradeable piece to bring back a. 2045 01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:46,720 Speaker 3: Beg. 2046 01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:50,719 Speaker 1: Yeah also part of the equation for this basketball. Team 2047 01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,960 Speaker 1: the rest of what you said, obviously again you're looking 2048 01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:57,080 Speaker 1: at individual. Development the things that have you interested Are 2049 01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,320 Speaker 1: matherin and AGAIN i differ with you On, Jackson but for, 2050 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,080 Speaker 1: me those three, guys And i'm, Like, OKAY i want 2051 01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:10,280 Speaker 1: to see how this guy. Performs, Matherin, Walker, furfey and 2052 01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:13,679 Speaker 1: one of those guys has played three. GAMES i lost 2053 01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:15,680 Speaker 1: track of how Long furfey. Played it wasn't that much. 2054 01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:18,240 Speaker 1: Long if if that long at all before he then 2055 01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:20,280 Speaker 1: got hurt and then talking With, scott it seems like 2056 01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:23,160 Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks. Away other thing that could 2057 01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:28,040 Speaker 1: be on your radar tonight would be the latest release 2058 01:54:28,800 --> 01:54:32,880 Speaker 1: of the college football playoff. RANKINGS i think safe to 2059 01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:36,600 Speaker 1: Say Ohio state's going to stay, One indiana's going to stay, 2060 01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,720 Speaker 1: Two TEXAS a AND m is going to stay. Three 2061 01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:42,840 Speaker 1: they're likely moving after. That you would Think alabama would 2062 01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,280 Speaker 1: drop but stay in the top ten or, eleven and, 2063 01:54:45,360 --> 01:54:48,280 Speaker 1: frankly because of the way the rankings work, out being 2064 01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:49,600 Speaker 1: in the top ten is where you need to be 2065 01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,480 Speaker 1: because spot eleven is going to THE acc champ and 2066 01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:57,160 Speaker 1: spot twelve is going to whatever team from the group 2067 01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:59,240 Speaker 1: of five schools that avoids losing when they're in the 2068 01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,800 Speaker 1: number twelve. Spot because the last couple of times you've 2069 01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:03,600 Speaker 1: had these, rankings the team, like, oh this is the 2070 01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:06,520 Speaker 1: guy represented the group of. Five that team has blanked 2071 01:55:06,560 --> 01:55:09,920 Speaker 1: the bed and then no longer been in that. Position 2072 01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,640 Speaker 1: So indiana should be. TOO i think there's much drama in. 2073 01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:19,480 Speaker 1: That and, again there are so many things that we 2074 01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:24,440 Speaker 1: talk about With indiana football that you say, it you're, 2075 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:26,160 Speaker 1: like DID i just say that out loud and not 2076 01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:31,640 Speaker 1: getting laughed, at Like indiana is the sure. Thing, indiana 2077 01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:35,920 Speaker 1: you know exactly what to, expect But indiana is getting 2078 01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:41,960 Speaker 1: all the attention And Notre dame just kind of huhum 2079 01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 1: taking care of. Business and we said this after the 2080 01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:52,280 Speaker 1: first two games of the. Schedule you lose To miami by, 2081 01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:54,440 Speaker 1: three losing home To TEXAS a AND m by. One 2082 01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:59,160 Speaker 1: probably didn't grasp the season That TEXAS a and m 2083 01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:02,480 Speaker 1: would have when you lose that game in week, two 2084 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:05,120 Speaker 1: which kind of, said you know, what if you look 2085 01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:10,040 Speaker 1: at the rest of the, schedule they should be able 2086 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 1: to win those, games Right and basically those games played 2087 01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:20,120 Speaker 1: out exactly as you thought to. Win perdue twenty six point. 2088 01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:23,000 Speaker 1: Win you beat ark and so bad they fired their. 2089 01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:25,920 Speaker 1: Coach beat them by forty. Three if you Played Boise 2090 01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:28,320 Speaker 1: state ten years, ago different Story Boise state now you 2091 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:31,320 Speaker 1: got them twenty one. POINTS Nc state win by twenty. 2092 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:34,880 Speaker 1: Nine Southern cal, good not, great beat them by. Ten 2093 01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:38,160 Speaker 1: Boston college they've won one, game you beat them by. 2094 01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:42,480 Speaker 1: Fifteen navy's good but NOT cfp. Good you beat him 2095 01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:46,000 Speaker 1: by thirty. Nine pittsburgh they're, decent one by twenty. Two 2096 01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:50,480 Speaker 1: here's What Notre dame has left to ensure they're in 2097 01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:54,920 Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. Again now are they a team 2098 01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:59,520 Speaker 1: that makes the national championship last? Year probably, not but 2099 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,200 Speaker 1: it at least if you make the dance, floor you 2100 01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:06,880 Speaker 1: got an. Opportunity they checked in at number. NINE i 2101 01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:10,240 Speaker 1: would imagine they would be around the same general area 2102 01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:15,960 Speaker 1: this time. Around but obviously you get to.
