1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: What do we say about this program, about this show 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: on a Friday, by the way, set for the weekend, everybody, 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: and that weekend means kicking things off for the NFL 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, Colton Dolphins. We educate 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: and entertain, Jake, we do educate and entertain. And in 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: addition to that, Eddie Garrison, we speak things into existence. 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: Then go we speak things into existence and speaking things 8 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: into existence, and this has been a week of speaking 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: things into existence. I'm not one that sits around and 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: wants to tout myself for the clairvoyance by which I speak, 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: because I miss some as well. I was wrong once 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: about something in nineteen seventy eight. For example, I missed 13 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: a keyword in the nineteen eighty four Alisonville Elementary School 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: Spelling Bee in the finals. Every once in a while 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: I get it wrong. But I speak things into existence. 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: And I'm going to make a proclamation today, not one, 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: but two of them about the Colts season that we 18 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: will see if it is speaking it into existence. But 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: in addition to that, I'm going to recap what I 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: spoke into existence for last night. And we have a 21 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: loaded show today. The Kaitlin Clark news is big. It 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: came out yesterday obviously just as we were I think 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: it was right after we were on the air. Is 24 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: that right? 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: And it came out literally right as the game kicked 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: off last night, that's right? 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: Uh? 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: And then strategically timed, no good point. 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: We have that to talk about. We have obviously the 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Colts to get to the college football. It is a 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: loaded program today and we're going to cover all of it. 32 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: But let me begin by rehashing yesterday what I said 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: that came into existence the NFL season kicked off. It 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: was a beautiful day yesterday. It was lovely, it was nice. 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: And the season and kicks off, and it's in Philadelphia 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: and you have the Cowboys and the Eagles, And what 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: did I say that every game in the NFC East, 38 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: except for, of course, in Dallas, because Dallas is geographically speaking, 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: not necessarily in the East. But I said, every time 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: you turn on a game and it's being hosted by 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, it's being hosted by the New York Giants, 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: it's being hosted by the Philadelphia Eagles. I believe my 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: direct wording was every single time that happens, it turns 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: into a gloomy, forty degree drizzly rain shower. And what 45 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: happens last night? But before the game even begins, and 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: sometimes when there's miter precipitation, you say it is spitting. 47 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: The NFL season begins with the gross depressing vision of 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: spitting indeed in Philadelphia. And then the game begins, and 49 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: then what happens. But you have the delay and the 50 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: weather delay, and now you've got like an hour of 51 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: Chris collins Worth, who I like, now his kid. 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: I thought his kid was not doing games anymore. He's 53 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: not doing the noted game games anymore. He's just doing 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: the part of the pregame and the postgame coverage for 55 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football. 56 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Okay, So regardless, that's what happened last night. And I 57 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: thought to myself, spoken into fruition, I said that, like 58 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: weather always is a factor in the NFC East and 59 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: ruins the atmosphere every time, And I think kind of 60 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: last night it did. Now did you sit out the 61 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: entire weather delay and then wait to see the end 62 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: of the game. I did. I wonder what percent of people? 63 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we'll know. We'll see the TV 64 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: ratings for it. I wonder what percent of people punted 65 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: it that point and we're like, yeah, I'm good out. 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: A couple friends punt I know that because we're like, yeah, 67 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: I'm not going to stay up for another hour. 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Well, you didn't know how long it was going to 69 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: be either. I mean, at one point, I know they 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: said like update coming top of the hour or whatever, 71 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, okay, you know, Seinfeld's on the bank. 72 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 2: You know, I just started watching that for the first time. 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Excuse me, you just started watching Seinfeld for the first time. Yeah, 74 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: are you binge watching Seinfeld? I watched five episodes of 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night. Here's the thing you need to know about it, though, 76 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: What episodes did you watch? Did you start like at 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: the beginning. 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: One, two, three, four, and five? Okay, I've never watched 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: it before. It's very important to let you know this. 80 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 2: I think Seinfeld was eight seasons, maybe nine. It didn't 81 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: hit it stride until like late in the third season. 82 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: The very early episodes of Seinfeld are terrible. 83 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nine seasons. There's no like the first episodes. 84 00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: The first episodes of Seinfeld are the first probably two 85 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: seasons of Seinfeld are like the Colts were when they 86 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: first came to Indianapolis. When the first when the Colts 87 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: first came to Indianapolis, you had the atmosphere at the 88 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: Dome was interesting. You had a horse that was riding 89 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: around at one point left apples on the field. You 90 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: had Huddles, which was like this mascot looking, foamy, fun 91 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: loving coult thing. And you had like Johnny Cook's Kroger 92 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: posters that were being sailed from the upper decks because 93 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: they were getting beat thirty one to three to the 94 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And you had, you know, just like flat moments. 95 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: Although Ray Butler had an immaculate deflection touchdown to beat 96 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers and everybody got excited. But the first 97 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: couple of seasons here were just not good. And then 98 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: they made the trade for Dickerson and all of a 99 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: sudden they're on the map. And then Monday Night football 100 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: comes along, and that's kind of when something happened with 101 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: Seinfeld where I don't know if it was the auction quality, 102 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: they change the actor of Jerry's dad, I don't know 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: what it was, but all of a sudden it just 104 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: started hitting its stride and by the time that it 105 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: was on its way out. It was unbelievable. That is Ah, 106 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: that's what I've heard about The Office. 107 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: I've never been able to get past the first two 108 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: three seasons of the Office. 109 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: The Office, to me, I get frustrated with because of 110 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: the camera movement drives me nuts. Not unlike this. And 111 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: when I say this, you'll never unsee it. If you 112 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: ever watched Ozark, Ozark is not having they don't use it. 113 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: They don't film it in white balance, so there's a 114 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: blue hue overall of when you're watching it. And once 115 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: you see that, you can't unsee it, and it will 116 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: drive you crazy. It's a good thing. I don't watch 117 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: it then it is a good show. 118 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 4: Though. 119 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: But here's the thing that I'm going to speak in 120 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: new existence. Are you ready for this? 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: I'm ready. 122 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: This day September the fifth of twenty twenty five. It 123 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: is above and beyond, say, the birthday of Jenny Goldhammer 124 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Culture who I grew up with. Okay, great, it's her birthday, 125 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: Happy birthday to her. It is the benchmark beyond that. 126 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: For this reason, this is the I'm gonna speak this 127 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: into existence. September fifth of twenty twenty five is going 128 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: to be the last day in the National Football League culture, 129 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: where Tyler Warren is not going to be a household 130 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: name league wide. We are on the cusp comes so 131 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: I should actually say that it would be tomorrow will 132 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: technically be that, but come Sunday and it might be 133 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: like Seinfeld. Tyler Warren may be like Seinfeld. Admittedly it 134 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: may take a couple of seasons. I don't think so. 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be Brock Bowers. I think 136 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be Jeremy Shockey. You know, Gronk. I 137 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: can't recall whether Rob Gronkowski was like right out of 138 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: the box, plug and play tight end dynamic. But Tyler 139 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: Warren is going to be. He is going to be 140 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: for the Colts, that kind of a player where where 141 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: every football fan in America is going to know who, 142 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: not that they probably don't already because of what he 143 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: did at Penn State, but from an NFL standpoint, we 144 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: are right now on the cusp of the city of 145 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: Indianapolis's next national name football star. 146 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: Ground case rookie of forty two catches, five hundred and 147 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: forty six yards, ten touchdowns. 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean that's pretty much plug and play, right, and. 149 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Then his sophomore year, one hundred and or ninety catches, 150 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty seven yards, seventeen touchdowns eighteen total touchdowns. 151 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 2: On the year, he had a rushing score. 152 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you Tyler Warren on Sunday is going to 153 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: get things jump started for his career and it's going 154 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: to be off and running.

I think this is. 167 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: So Jake, if you were a betting man, you would 168 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: take Tyler Warren over three and a half catches for Sunday. 169 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, because I think and Jordan Schultz, who's going 170 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: to join us coming up here in just about five 171 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: or ten minutes for the Schultz Report, did an interview 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, where I want to get into this 173 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: because I do believe something very interesting came of this 174 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: conversation that Daniel Jones had with Jordan Schultz where he 175 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: or excuse me, with Jonathan Schultz. So Jordan Schultz, excuse me, 176 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: where he talked about because Johnathan Edward is going to 177 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: join us on the program today as well. But Daniel 178 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: Jones talked about being so impressed with the maturity and 179 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: the football intellect of Tyler Warren. And I think that's 180 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: important because even a veteran quarterback like a Daniel Jones, 181 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: when you are new to any situation. And I've always 182 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: given this comparison, my biggest fear is public speaking. Not 183 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: on the radio but like mceing events, I do them, 184 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: but getting up in front of a live audience and 185 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: seeing all those faces out there in an audience at 186 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: a dinner or a fundraiser or whatever it may be, 187 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: I get very nervous ahead of time. So what I 188 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: always do is, especially if it's a group that I'm 189 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: not overly familiar with people. What I do is I 190 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: oftentimes will find somebody beforehand, kind of shoot the ball 191 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: with them a little bit, and then find them in 192 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: the crowd where I can scan through, and as I'm talking, 193 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I just I focus in like I'm talking to that 194 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: person because I kind of know them. They're a safety 195 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: net person. And I think Daniel Jones in talking about 196 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: the intellect and the football perceptions and craftiness of Tyler Warren. 197 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Even though Daniel Jones has been a quarterback in the 198 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: NFL for many many starts, even though he's been around 199 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: for a while and has multiple starts in seasons under 200 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: his belt in New York, he's new to Indy, he's 201 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: new to the Colts, he's new to this franchise, and 202 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: he's still getting his comfort level. And so, yes, Tyler 203 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: Warren may be a rookie, but for Daniel Jones, so 204 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: too is Michael Pittman Jr. So too is Alec Pierce, 205 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: so too is Jonathan Taylor. Because this is Daniel Jones's 206 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: rookie experience with those players, they are all brand new 207 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: to him. So for him, it's clean slate in terms 208 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: of experienced level or comfort level or familiarity with everybody 209 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: on that offensive roster, and so therefore, when he is 210 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: talking about his how impressed he is with Tyler Warren, 211 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: I think Daniel Jones is basically saying, this is my 212 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: guy that I talked to before the event began to 213 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: get familiar with, and that's who's going to be my 214 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: safety net. And I think their ability talking about the 215 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Colts to get Warren in so many different areas, I 216 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: think it's going to be more than just hey, we're 217 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: going to throw a you know over here, quick snap 218 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: and bubble screen on the side of the tight end 219 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: or just a quick release five yard pass. I think 220 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: they're going to utilize him in multiple areas. And I 221 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: think that Warren's ability, or at least at this point, 222 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: what they believe to be his ability to also recognize 223 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: where those areas are, that he can re route where 224 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: he's supposed to go and communicate that by looking at 225 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: setups and defenses. I think that is something that they're 226 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: going to tap into big time. And I think Daniel 227 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Jones just tiped that hand a little bit about that, 228 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: and I do think I think it's a better roster 229 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: than nationally the culture given credit now did you see 230 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: the question I asked last night on the expost Twitter 231 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: which one? 232 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: I thought there were a couple different questions out there. 233 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: I think we have a winner in this group. Okay, 234 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: you have to pick one NFL franchise. Okay, and then 235 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: we're going to put on you basically like an AirPod. Okay, 236 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: that's going to have also on a camera. Okay, kind 237 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: of like a Shazam really, and it is going to 238 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: everywhere that you go. You walk into a coffee store 239 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: and they have sports talk radio overhead. You walk into 240 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: a restaurant and they have a game on the television. 241 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: You walk through downtown or an airport and you see 242 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: people passing you in a T shirt. You have to 243 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: pick one NFL franchise right now, Eddie Garrison in Indianapolis, Indiana. 244 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: You have to pick one NFL franchise, and for every 245 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: day of your life that you go without seeing or 246 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: hearing any reference whatsoever in any way, shape or form 247 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: of this franchise. You can't see somebody wearing a hat, 248 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: you can't see somebody wearing a T shirt. You can't 249 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: see a backpack with the logo on it. You can't 250 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: hear it mentioned on a sports talk radio program. You 251 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: can't see it on a television screen. You can't have 252 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: your neighbors say that he was getting ready to go 253 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: watch their game. Nothing for every day that you go 254 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: without any reference whatsoever of this franchise, you, Eddie Garrison, 255 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: get one thousand dollars. Okay, what franchise do you pick 256 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: that ultimately nets you the most money before the game 257 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: comes to an end? The Carolina Panthers. Okay. I think 258 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: that that was the second highest answer. The problem being 259 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: in this market. I don't disagree with you from a 260 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: national standpoint, but in this MA number one. You know, 261 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: obviously we have a sister station in Charlotte, and so 262 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: we hear a little bit about the Panthers that way. 263 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: But also because of the fact that Bryce Young is 264 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback that was in the mix when Anthony Richardson 265 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: was selected, there are still some eyes on that. I 266 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: don't disagree, But there is a different franchise that was 267 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: the winner in my survey, And there was another franchise 268 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: that was mentioned where I thought people are pretty smart cookies. 269 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: But joining us now on the always busy and available 270 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: for your company to sponsor guest line, he of course 271 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: is synonymous with NFL coverage, and in addition to that, 272 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: his Report, which is a video cast that is done, 273 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: has become one that is a must watch when it 274 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: comes to getting the inside track of the NFL. NFL 275 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: insider Jordan Schultz of the Schultz Report joining us now 276 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: after he had come to Indianapolis, done a sit down 277 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, and I'm gonna get right to this, Jordan, 278 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: and that is I thought you asked a really good 279 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: question to Daniel Jones, which is did he get a 280 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: fair shake in New York? Now in Indianapolis, we're more 281 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: concerned about, obviously the shake he's going to get with 282 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: the Colts now that Stichen has selected him the starter. 283 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: Is this a franchise and a roster around Daniel Jones 284 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: that allows him to just kind of game manage and 285 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: feel his way into it because they have balance offensively, 286 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: You know what. 287 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: Jack, I spent a lot of time with Daniel over 288 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 5: the years in New York, and this was the most 289 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 5: relaxed I felt and confident that he's been. And I 290 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 5: think that's a testament to the organization in Shane as 291 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 5: well as the fact that you know, he goes from 292 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 5: New York, which is just a media frenzy, to Indianapolis, 293 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 5: which is really his speed. You know, he's a low key, 294 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 5: down to earth guy, Southern kid, and to me, the 295 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 5: Colts are perfect for him. And I think the fact 296 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 5: that he's developed such a good rapport not only with Shane, 297 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 5: but with Downs and Pittman, and he specifically said Tyler 298 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 5: Warren had has been as good as advertised and highlighted 299 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 5: not only his physical attributes but the mental acumen that 300 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 5: he has for the game, and just all of that 301 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 5: to me is a great sign. And you mentioned the 302 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: question I asked him about. 303 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 4: In New York. 304 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 5: His response I thought was pretty mature in the sense 305 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 5: he basically said, a lot of the owers has to 306 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 5: be on me. I'm the quarterback. I didn't play well enough. 307 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 5: And you know he things in New York. Other than 308 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 5: the one playoff here when they beat Minnesota on in 309 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 5: one playoff game, they did not go well in New York, 310 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 5: especially at the end. He needed a fresh start. The 311 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 5: coaching staff I don't believe was invested in him enough, 312 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 5: and as a result, he moves on and now he 313 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 5: wins a job in Indianapolis. And to answer your question, 314 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 5: I do believe he's going to have success. 315 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Here's the irony of it, Jordan, And you tell me 316 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: if you and feel free to disagree with this irony 317 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: that I thought of. Okay, it seemed to me that 318 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones's New York Giants is Anthony Richardson's Indianapolis Colts, 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: like they're just Richardson. And I'm not saying that it's 320 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: entirely on the Colts. I think it's probably symbiotic here 321 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the stall of Richardson's start of his career. 322 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: But it seems like Richardson just kind of had the 323 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: same lack of footing to begin that Jones did in 324 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: New York. And perhaps the difference is Indianapolis has been 325 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: waiting for Richardson to own that and they haven't been 326 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: satisfied with the level of maturity of which he has done. 327 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: So is that a fair statement? 328 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 6: You know, that's a lot to take in. 329 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: I would well, here's what I would say in terms 330 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 5: of New York, because I was here when Daniel got drafted. 331 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 5: He was you know, both those guys are top in picks. 332 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 5: Neither one, especially in Richardson's case, played a lot of 333 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 5: college football, and I think I would say the difference 334 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 5: is that in New York, when things went really south 335 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 5: with Brian da Ball and Joe Shane, the GM to me, Daniel, 336 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 5: in many words, in many ways became escape him. It 337 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 5: was really because of him, and I never felt like 338 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 5: that was fair. Richardson is still so young and I 339 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 5: think talented enough where I would hope that the Colts 340 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 5: haven't given up on him. But I also believe that 341 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 5: when they brought in Daniel for fifteen million bucks that 342 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 5: they were in many ways hoping that the competition would 343 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 5: be really strong, but they knew that there was a 344 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 5: con contingency plan needed for Daniel to be available. So 345 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 5: that's a long way of saying I think in many 346 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 5: ways what you said is probably true. But given Richardson's 347 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 5: age and talent level, I just think it's about maturity 348 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 5: and learning to be a pro, and I believe he'll 349 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 5: get there, even if he's not there yet. 350 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: What Daniel Jones himself, Jordan Jordan Schultz is our guest. 351 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: He has an interview with Daniel Jones. As a matter 352 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 1: of fact, it's part of the Schultz Report when and 353 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: you watched him a lot in New York, Okay, and 354 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: sometimes guys just do need to change the scenery, and 355 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: he has about him Daniel Jones, does I think, and 356 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: this is no knock on Anthony Richardson at all, who's 357 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: very talented and young. Jones seems to have, to your point, 358 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: this composure about him where maybe the riggers that he's 359 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: gone through. Now Indianapolis benefits from that because he can 360 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: kind of he just has a better idea of what 361 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: to do when the arrows are flying past him. But 362 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: when you look at this offense and Jonathan Taylor behind him, 363 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: do you believe that Indianapolis is going to utilize and 364 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: focus with Jonathan Taylor and just have Jones be the 365 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: game manager or does Jones try to take advantage of 366 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: the weapons he has in space to then open up 367 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Did you get any indication from him which 368 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: way they'll go with that? 369 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 5: The indication I got was that I think they're further along. 370 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 5: And I think this on both sides, specially the Colts. 371 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 5: I believe they are further along at this point heading 372 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 5: into Week one than they thought they'd be. I don't 373 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 5: know how to quantify that as to how many throws 374 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 5: or how many you know, big opportunities down the field. 375 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 6: They'll take. 376 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 5: But the reason I say that go back to what 377 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 5: I was referencing Leer Jake. He's just so confident right now. 378 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 5: And I asked him about Shane specifically because obviously Dave 379 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 5: All was known in New York as an offensive guy, 380 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 5: but I think Shane is even more innovative, and the 381 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: ability what Shane did with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia needs 382 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 5: to be studying it. 383 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz from the Schultz Report, and yes, Jalen Hurts 384 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: last night showed, you know, when you look at what 385 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: Steichen was able to do with Jalen Hurts and getting 386 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: him going, I mean, obviously that is the blueprint of 387 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: what they I think were hoping for with Anthony Richardson. 388 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: And maybe that is still there, you know, maybe that's 389 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: still there. But to me, Hurts is a guy that 390 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: was so impressive in college because not just of what 391 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: he did at Alabama and then being able to do 392 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: that at Oklahoma, but rather to I go back to 393 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts, and I think this is something that 394 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: should have moved him up a little bit in the draft, 395 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: even when he was removed in the National Title game 396 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: for the sake of Tua, and Tua throws the touchdown 397 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: and Hurtz looked like he was the guy that had 398 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: thrown the touchdown. Pass it. He did not care one 399 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: iota in that moment, at least about what had taken 400 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: place for him or the trajectory of his time as 401 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: the starter. But rather what he was more focused on 402 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: is the fact that his team had just won the 403 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: national championship. And to me, that was so impressive and 404 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: it showed a coachability. And yes, he went from that 405 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: situation and opted to go elsewhere, But I'm not saying 406 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: that coachability doesn't exist with Anthony Richardson. But with Richardson, 407 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: we haven't been able to see it because there was 408 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: just the limitation of reps at flour And so that's 409 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: the one thing that made it difficult, I think, to 410 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: know whether or not the Colts had a quarterback in 411 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: that situation that could have the same kind of response 412 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: to the coaching stych And was providing, because we just 413 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: didn't have a baseline to understand or know in that scenario. 414 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: But the other thing that Jordan touched on there, and 415 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: I think it's important to just kind of hone in 416 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: on was the relaxed and the comfortability, if that's a 417 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: word for Daniel Jones in this environment, and in the interview, 418 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: Jones talks a lot about He's right, he talked a 419 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: lot about Indianapolis, and I thought it was cool that 420 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: he said, man, it was so much fun with the 421 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: pacers run. That just showed an awareness of environment and 422 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: having nothing to do. I want to make sure people 423 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: understand I'm not saying this in comparison to Anthony Richardson 424 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: at all, taking Richardson totally out of the equation. You 425 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: have a new starting quarterback in Daniel Jones. So he 426 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: sits down and he does this interview and he talks 427 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: about the number of steakhouse is in Indy and the 428 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: relaxed atmosphere and the pacers running, how much fun it was, 429 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: and the guys around him. And it showed without even 430 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: coming out to say this is what I'm trying to 431 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: show to you, it showed situational awareness, an awareness of surrounding. 432 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: And that's what you want in a quarterback. You want 433 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: a quarterback that is aware of all things taking place. 434 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: I have no idea whether or not that means Daniel 435 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: Jones is going to be a long term guy in Indy. 436 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know that anybody knows that. 437 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: But at the very least he is exhibiting the recognition 438 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: ability that you want out of a quarterback. And that's 439 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: the thing that I thought the interview illuminated. Again. It 440 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: is the Schultz Report, where the interview is with Jordan 441 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Schultz and pretty good stuff with Daniel Jones. And yes, 442 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: I totally understand at the same time why people are 443 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: going to say, well, wait a minute, like, why does 444 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: this guy get air dropped in and get this interview 445 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: and yet he doesn't do local I get all that, 446 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: But he has a history with Daniel Jones because of 447 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: the time in New York, as he talked about. And 448 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: it is a good interview, and I think it shows 449 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: in forecasts why there could be some When I say 450 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: optimism for the Colts, I don't mean that I think 451 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: that they are going to be this year's Washington Commanders. 452 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: I don't mean that this is going to be Andrew 453 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: Luck's rookie year where all of a sudden, you're like 454 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: everything goes their way and everything bounces their way and 455 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: a bout a boom. Now all of a sudden you're 456 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: in the second round of the playoffs and winning a 457 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: playoff game. I don't mean that, but foundationally, is there 458 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: something there that you can build upon, whether it be 459 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: with Jones or Richardson next year or whatever else. I 460 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: think this roster, barring injury, does have that, and I 461 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: think they're going to win. And this is what I 462 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: mean when I say I speak it into existence. When 463 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 1: I speak this into existence for the Colts, you're going 464 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: to be happy with it. And I will tell you 465 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: which two franchises just before we began I was thinking 466 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: of when I said, there's one that's the clear cut 467 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: winner of the game, and there's one that others mentioned, 468 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know what, there's a reason why. 469 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: That's a great answer. And I'll tell you all three 470 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: of those things next. Okay, here it is right here 471 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: for the Colts that I'm going to speak into existence. 472 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: And I am probably more bullish on them than most. 473 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: But when I look at this Colts season, and in 474 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: particular this team, and by the way, thank you to 475 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz. Somebody said it sounds like I said, George Schultz, 476 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz, When when I look at this Colts team 477 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: and I see, and the secondary I think is going 478 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: to be interesting because and they're going to get tested 479 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: a little bit here with Tua. I mean, you know, 480 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: he's when he's in rhythm, he can be a good quarterback. 481 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: I think they have talent at the corner position, but 482 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: it is not talent that is used to playing with 483 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: one another. Instead of going out and getting young guys 484 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: that are going to going to grow together, they obviously 485 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: went out and got guys that have experienced in the 486 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: league and are good players. But at the same time, 487 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: and it's it's not that unit is not as reliant on, 488 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: you know, like as an offensive line is of the 489 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: cohesiveness of your teammates. But nonetheless, I just think you 490 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: know the system, new decordinator. I think there's going to 491 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: be kind of a feel in period on that. But 492 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: I think that defensively they're pretty good. I think they've 493 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: got good They should be able to get to the quarterback. 494 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: This is again barring injury in major areas. Their depth 495 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: you can talk about another time if in fact there 496 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: are injuries, but I think their roster's pretty good. The 497 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: quarterback is this is if you were to build yourself 498 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 1: a car. I think the Colts. You know, they've got 499 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: a nice sun roof. The upholstery is really nice and clean. 500 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: They even got leather as a matter of fact, nice 501 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: stereo system to it. I don't know that this is 502 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: a car that has like the third row seating, but 503 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: it's the interior is really nice and it has all 504 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: the bases covered. The big question is whether or not 505 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: you have the right engine, and that's for the Colts 506 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: this year. The quarterback is the big question mark. And 507 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: does Anthony Richardson have bigger wow moment potential in ceiling Probably, 508 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 1: but I think Daniel Jones gives you a clearer baseline 509 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: of who you are. I think the Colts this year 510 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: win ten games. I think they go ten and seven 511 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: and I think they get the first of those wins 512 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: this Sunday now against Denver. Maybe not, but I think 513 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: they start out one to oh. I think the Street 514 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: comes to an end of opening week without a win. 515 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: They have a tie in there and I think that 516 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: they I think they end up winning. I think they win, 517 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, in just a non sexy fashion on Sunday, 518 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: but a win's a win, and I think they get 519 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: ten wins on the air. Now, the question that I 520 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: asked Eddie, and I'm going to restate the rules here 521 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: one more time for those that are just joining the program. 522 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: Where have they been? You get to pick one NFL franchise. 523 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: You pick one NFL franchise, and you are going to 524 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: be They're going to put on you some sort of 525 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: a shizam device that also has a camera on it. 526 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: And when you pick this franchise, it is going to register. 527 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: If you go an entire day without seeing any reference 528 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: in the American culture at all of the franchise you chose, 529 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: you cannot see somebody wearing a T shirt of it, 530 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: a hat of it, a backpack of it. You can't 531 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: hear somebody mentioning it on the radio overhead. You can't 532 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: hear somebody mentioning it in the mentioning this franchise in 533 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: line at Kroger. You can't hear somebody say that it's 534 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: their kid's favorite team. Nothing. The second, for every single 535 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: day that you go without any recognition or acknowledgment in 536 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, even at no fault of 537 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: yours or no seek of yours, for every day that happens, 538 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: you get a thousand bucks. What team do you pick 539 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: that gets you the most money, the Carolina Panthers, and 540 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: you got that's a very good answer, and I think 541 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: probably one of the three or four best answers when 542 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,959 Speaker 1: I did this on the expost Twitter, the team that 543 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: got the most response without question, and it's not close, 544 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: and there were hundreds of replies. 545 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 2: I know what team this is, and I'll explain why 546 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: they weren't my team of choosing. Go ahead, the Arizona Cardinals. 547 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: That is the team. Now, I think there is a 548 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: clear cut winner even that's Arizona or Carolina, and I'll explain, 549 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: but go ahead, you tell me why you did not 550 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: go with Arizona. 551 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: I didn't go with Arizona because of Marvin Harrison Junior 552 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: never won in Kyler Murray fair number two. They play 553 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: week four on primetime. They're on Thursday night football against Seattle. Okay, 554 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: so they would get that primetime mention and they would 555 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 2: get the recognition to talk about in the promotion of it, 556 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 2: whereas Carolina is not until week twelve. So I've got 557 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 2: eleven weeks of raking in that cabbage. 558 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Okay. Now, the team that everybody said Arizona, And it's 559 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: kind of like when something is labeled as and is 560 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: the automatic assumption answer for most obscure. It then becomes 561 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: the least obscure because everybody knows it as the most 562 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: the answer for most obscure. So Arizona in this case, 563 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: everyone's like Arizona, Arizona, Arizona, which shows that in some way, 564 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: shape or form, Arizona was on their mind. The team 565 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: that somebody said, and I thought to myself, BINGO, there 566 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: it is, because I didn't even think of that as 567 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: a potential answer, because they're that out of sight, out 568 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: of mind, and you know, I have no idea when 569 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: we're going to hear about this franchise again, do you 570 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: have a guest Eddie Tennessee. No, because they're in the 571 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: Colts Division. I didn't know if you were going if 572 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: you were not in an AFC. Here's the thing. The 573 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: Colts are in the division, and that's part of the 574 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: purpose of the game here to show and illustrate that 575 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: the Colts Division. Everybody outside of the AFC South would 576 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: probably say Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Tennessee, or even Houston. 577 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: I would push back on Jacksonville just because of Travis Hunter. 578 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. 579 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: I can't go with New Orleans because they're going to 580 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: have the first pick, so everyone's going to be talking 581 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: about them. But that's who it is. That's the reason 582 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 2: why I didn't go with them. 583 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: But you don't hear anything about New Orleans. You don't 584 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: hear anything about New Orleans. I mean, I I like, 585 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: we were talking about them yesterday when you mentioned that 586 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler is their starter, yep, because we were basically asking, like, 587 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: who is the most obscure starter in the NFL at quarterback? 588 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: And Spencer Ratler in the New Orleans States, I mean, 589 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: other than in this market when people bring up the 590 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: Hank basket on side kick. Outside of that, this might 591 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: be the only market left in America that still even 592 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: remembers that the Saints were once good. I mean, and 593 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,719 Speaker 1: I like the Saints. You know, they had cool helmets 594 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: in the Florida Lee, and you know Tom Dempsey run 595 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: around after a seven yard field goal. That's all cool. 596 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: And the superdomes cool, and I mean I get all that, 597 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: and they've been a great fan base and et cetera. 598 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: But the last couple of years, I mean, can you 599 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: name me for Saints not including Valentine and Nick? Yes? 600 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Alan Kamara, Ok, that's good. Jawan Johnson, their 601 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: tight end, Chris o'lave in, Rashid Shaheed, Chris olave that's good. 602 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Shaheed, by the way, on the Aquarium Company Fantasy 603 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 1: Football League, I have him. Yeah. Fantasy football does help 604 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: in knowing some of the more big time secure team players, right, 605 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: big time. Yeah. Other than that, Other than that, that's 606 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: the that's the beauty of fantasy football. Kept Thursday at 607 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: Football in business because when Thursday at Football first became 608 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: a thing and it was on the NFL network and 609 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: it literally was the participation trophy of the NFL network scheduling, 610 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're like, we got to listen. We put 611 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 1: a dealing with the owners that everybody gets at least 612 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: one nationally televised game. So what are we going to 613 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: do with this matchup between Cleveland and New Orleans? 614 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 2: Here you go, Jacksonville. That's what's your primetime game against Tennessee. 615 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: That's exactly correct. And so you're those games, You're like, really, 616 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: do I really care about this game? Do I want 617 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: to watch it? 618 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 7: Oh? 619 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,479 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute, I've got the tight 620 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: end on my fantasy team. You like the good, don't you. 621 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: That's actually the it was big news yesterday in Indianapolis 622 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: sports that made you good, and there might be more 623 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: to it than you think. I'll explain who and what 624 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking about and do it on the other side. 625 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: And Jonathan Edwards, undrafted free agent Indianapolis Cult by way 626 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: of Tara Hate joins us coming up eighteen minutes from now. 627 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: Every time I hear Eddie Money, I think of a 628 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: tribute to the late great Jersey Johnny, who would be 629 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: thrilled to know that his cults are getting underway on 630 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium and Jurs. Of course, I 631 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: think most of you know of Jersey Johnny from his 632 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: time on this radio station. Jers was even though obviously 633 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: from New Jersey, was passionate, who's your through and through 634 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: and would have been thrilled with the season, the beginning 635 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: of the year, and the trajectory and the expectation and 636 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: excitement for the Indiana Fever. But that obviously now, I'm 637 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: not going to say that that's changed. As a matter 638 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: of fact, Stephanie White going to join us come up 639 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: just about thirty minutes from now, Jake. 640 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 2: In honor of Jersey Johnny, shall we continue his segment 641 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 2: that he used to always do aarrow up, arrow down. 642 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: Sure we can even call it the Jersey Johnny arrow 643 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: up arrow down, right, Yeah, there you go, even though 644 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: the arrow up for him for sure, by the way, 645 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: because there was nobody more kind hearted in this town 646 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: than Jersey Positive So Caitlin Clark. Yesterday the announcement coming 647 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: out that Caitlin Clark will in fact miss the rest 648 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: of the season, and I know that I believe her 649 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: when when she says, you know, hey, what a disappointment. 650 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: It was. The one thing, Eddie is that it does 651 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: feel like we just reached a point where mathematically there 652 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: was no other option there. And because of the fact that, 653 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: like Stephanie White had said that she wanted to see 654 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: you know, five full speed full practices before Caitlin Clark 655 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,760 Speaker 1: on the floor, and you know, those things are tough 656 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: because they just they didn't have so many opportunities because 657 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: of the scheduling and everything else. And you just kind 658 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: of got the impression that even if Caitlin Clark had 659 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: gotten to the point from a health standpoint where the 660 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: groin and the bone bruise in her lower I think 661 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: it's ankle were healthy, that the conditioning wasn't going to 662 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: be where they wanted it to be. And the thing 663 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: about all of that, I know this isn't a factor. 664 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: I know it's not. I one percent know it, but 665 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: I can't deny that I thought it. And that is 666 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: the Fever right now. And you correct me if I'm wrong, Eddie, 667 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: But I believe the Fever have a game and a 668 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: half advantage on the final playoff spot correct. 669 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they Yeah, they're eighth right now in Los Angeles loss, 670 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 2: so they got some help there. 671 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think it's a game and a half cushion, right, Yeah, 672 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: let me look correct me if I'm wrong on that. 673 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: But when you look at their schedule and three games remaining, yeah, 674 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: game and a half Chicago tonight, then at Washington and 675 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: then Minnesota. So three games remaining, game and a half cushion, 676 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: And yes, I mean it looks like they are going 677 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: to make. I think they're going to make the playoffs. 678 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: And they owe it to the roster of players that 679 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: are there to give them every chance they have and 680 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: every opportunity and every advantage they can get to win 681 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: that roster. Yeah, sure you don't have Caitlin Clark. Sure 682 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: you don't have Chloe Bibby. Sure you don't have Sidney Colson. 683 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: Sure you don't have Sophie Cunningham, Sure you don't have 684 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: Ery McDonald. I get all that, But you still have 685 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell, You still have Toash Howard, you still have 686 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: a Leah Boston. You still have players that have done 687 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: everything they can to try to win for you, and 688 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: so you owe it to those players to say we 689 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: are still all in on winning. And so that would 690 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: lead you to believe that if there was even a 691 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: percentage of a chance that Caitlyn Clark could play, that 692 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: she was going to play because you want to win. 693 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: Having said that, there is an element of human nature. 694 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: And I know, I mean in my heart fundamentally, I 695 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: know this was not the reason for it. But if 696 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: you look at what they would be able to do 697 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: in the postseason if Caitlyn Clark comes back and hasn't 698 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: played in however, you know, however long it's been, and 699 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: you say, okay, so we're gonna bring her back when 700 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: she's not one hundred percent Do you think about what 701 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: happened across the street? And I say across the street, 702 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: it's the same ownership franchise and the fever by the way, 703 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: and I want to talk to Stephanie about this as well. Uh, 704 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: they're complex, which is going to be state of the art, 705 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, is is really starting to take form and 706 00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: take hold. Yesterday, what's that yesterday? Right across the street 707 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: and where the old jail was, And I do hope 708 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: there's a plaque from where I spent the night in 709 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: that facility. But does she know about that story? You 710 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: know what? She might be able to help me get 711 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: the plaque, but erected. We'll have to I'll ask her. 712 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: But you wonder if they didn't think about the situation 713 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: with Tyrese Haliburton and just say you know what, and look, 714 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, everybody and their brother knows 715 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton had to play in that game six and seven. 716 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: You are that close to a title, you've got to 717 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: go all in. I totally get it. In no way, 718 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: shape or form, am I blaming anybody for Haliburton being 719 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: out there, even though we knew the risk, even though 720 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: you knew the potential and the possibility of that injury 721 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: going from CAF to Achilles. Everyone knew it. But you 722 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: had to do it. You had to push in but 723 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: does that in any way, shape or form cause you 724 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: to say, let's not risk furthering anything when we have 725 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: a firm idea of where we are. 726 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 2: And funny you mentioned that, Jake because Tyree said that 727 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: the doctor who ended up doing his surgery was shocked 728 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 2: that he towards Achilles. He didn't see any association with 729 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: the cap strain that he had to leading to a 730 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: torn Achilles. 731 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. I get that, and I know that people can 732 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: say that they're not, but I mean they have to 733 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: be related to one another, right, I mean, otherwise it 734 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: is he is literally bad luck Brian. Right, maybe if 735 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: you go from that strain CAF to the Achilles deal. 736 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 2: I'm more interested in knowing, Jake, which is it? Which 737 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 2: injury is it that's holding her back? For Kaitlin Clark, 738 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: is it the is it the strained right groin? And 739 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 2: if it's a strained goin, did she tear it? And 740 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 2: that's what this actually is. It's not just a strain 741 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 2: or is it the bone bruis at her ankle that 742 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 2: she suffered that has you know, ultimately ended her season. 743 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: I believe, and not to be that guy, but I 744 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: believe that a tear can still be a strain. It is. 745 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean, a strain is a small tear, right, It's 746 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: a matter of the how through or you know what 747 00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: I mean, how how thorough a tear? 748 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, was it like a full tear basically when I 749 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: was ending out there, But I don't think it was 750 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 2: because there was no surgery needed. 751 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,359 Speaker 1: Did you ever go to the old Marion County Lockup? No? 752 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: It was an interesting place really. 753 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 2: I mean you got inside access, so you would know. 754 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: I did underground access. And I'm telling you my biggest 755 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: regret in life. I have a life, a few regrets, 756 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: but my biggest regret in life is not getting your shot. Yes. Well, 757 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: and furthermore, when I was in nineteen ninety six or seven, 758 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: when I spent a weekend in the Marion County Hotel, 759 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: they give you like a wristband thing like you get 760 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: when you go to the hospital and it has your 761 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: mug shot on. 762 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 2: It when you're discharged or when you get in. 763 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: When you get in, okay, So they put this wristband 764 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: on you, okay, and it's got your mugshot on it. 765 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: And I was thinking, maybe, you know, you get free 766 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: rides at Indiana Beach or something with it, but they 767 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 1: so they give you this wristband. And then when they 768 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: I was I was. For those that don't know the story, 769 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 1: and I won't go into the full detail because it's boring, 770 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: but I was a guest of the county Marion County 771 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: due to a clerical error. So when they took me 772 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: in there, they said, no, we're holding you for a 773 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: different county. And it was a clerical error for the 774 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: most part, so everything was expunged, so there's no record 775 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,879 Speaker 1: of any of this happening. It was like a bad 776 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: dream I had, but yet it really did happen. But 777 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: when they finally realized the error essentially and were releasing 778 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: me forty one hours after the fact, they said, you 779 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: walk up these stairs and I started to leave and 780 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 1: then they said who whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what They said, 781 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: we need to cut the wristband off of you. And 782 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: my biggest regret is that I let them do that 783 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: and I didn't keep it, because I would love to 784 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: have that bad boy. I mean, I would have turned it. 785 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: I would have gotten it, played it or something, and 786 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean it was awesome and if I still had 787 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: the mug shot. Unfortunately, it was a sponge and I've 788 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: had everybody try to get me the bug shot. I 789 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: mean t shirts, mouse pads, mugs, hats, you name it. 790 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 1: It'd probably be my billboard so oh billboard, your lock 791 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: screen photo, yes, all of it. It absolutely would be 792 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: my profile picture on social media. And I'm not listen. 793 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 2: I mean, you got the haircut, now, that's right. You 794 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 2: should just come back in there in stage at all. 795 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 1: And look, I am not making light of people who, 796 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: unfortunately their life is such that they have ended up. 797 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not making light of incarceration any of that. 798 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. It was not fun. It 799 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,760 Speaker 1: was not fun at all, but it is I actually 800 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: have always felt this, and people have gotten on me 801 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: about this. I think everybody in some countries you go 802 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,720 Speaker 1: into mandatory military at the age of nineteen. In this country, 803 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: everybody at the age of eighteen or nineteen, certainly men 804 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: should have to go and spend one night in a 805 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: lockup like that, because immediately you're like, yeah, I don't 806 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: want to be here. And I know that circumstances for 807 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: some people, you know, I get it, I get all that, 808 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: but when they I will admit, when they started to 809 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 1: tear it down to put up the fever calm. You know, 810 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 1: I thought, well, you know, that's a that's a part 811 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: of my story and that bad boy. But nonetheless, that 812 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 1: is an excellent question, Eddie. And when Stephanie White joins 813 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: us coming up, I will probably ask her that, hey, listen, 814 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: which and yeah, I get it, there's hipper rules and 815 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: everything else, But which which injury is it? Which one 816 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: is the one keeping her out? And is one more 817 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: you know, easier if you will, to come back from 818 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: than the other, And which one requires more rest? Jonathan 819 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: Edwards has a great story started in Saint Louis, kind 820 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: of like mine and ended up in the NFL, but 821 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: had to stop along the way and Tara Hate had 822 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: to stop along the way in Narlands. And he's going 823 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,720 Speaker 1: to have a stop along the way in his career 824 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: before things get underway with us, because he's going to 825 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: join us in five Jonathan Edwards has a you know 826 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: there said Jonathan Edwards, how many let me ask you this, 827 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: how many player names can you think of that have 828 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 1: played for the Colt sand the Pacers. 829 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Jonathan Edwards another one of those 830 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 2: guy went to high school with or professional athletes. 831 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: Totally now what's interesting is Jonathan Edwards went to Parkway 832 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: North in Saint Louis. And in Saint Louis, where you 833 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 1: went to high school is a huge thing. And there 834 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: are a lot of great athletes that have come out 835 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: of Saint Louis. But oftentimes Saint Louis has a huge 836 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: parochial school influence and a lot of times when players, 837 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 1: like great players, they I'm not going to say they're recruited, 838 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: but they end up at one of the parochial schools, 839 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: whether it be CBC or De Smet or a lot 840 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: of the different you know, Catholic and or private schools, 841 00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:00,279 Speaker 1: Jesuit schools throughout the Saint Louis area. Jason Tatum, David Lee. 842 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: I can't remember where Larry Hughes went to high school, 843 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: but he also was he might have been CBC Christian Brothers. 844 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: I can't remember what the other C stands for, but 845 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: either way, but Parkway North is, you know, just one 846 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: of the bigger public schools in Saint Louis. I would 847 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: say it probably is like a North Central or Lawrence 848 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 1: North or whatever it may be. And that's where Jonathan 849 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: Edwards went to school. Now, what I want to know 850 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: is the journey that he took because he was not 851 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: highly recruited out of high school and not being highly 852 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: recruited out of high school and then getting into the 853 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: NFL as an undrafted free agent. I want to know 854 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: how much of that journey of having improved himself in 855 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: college kind of you know, factored into how he ended 856 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: up here. But there is a pacer player also named 857 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: Jonathan Edwards, I believe, am I correcting that that played 858 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: for played in the MAC like Kent State. Maybe a 859 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: center that played a year or two and got some 860 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,439 Speaker 1: mop minutes, like in the Brawl era. So how many 861 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: players can you think of that their name, that there 862 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: is a pacer and a cult with the same name. 863 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 1: I don't think there's many. There's no Art Schleister that 864 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: played for the Pacers, right, you can bet on that. 865 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: But we had Jonathan Edwards and then I think he did. 866 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: He say he got called into a meeting at Yeah, 867 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: an emergency meeting. Emergency meeting. 868 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 2: Well, it's just like something that was popped up last minute. 869 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, do we know what emergency it might be for 870 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: the colts secondary? No, a film session of some sort. 871 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: So Jonathan said to join us tentatively here in a 872 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, and Stephanie White also going to join 873 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 1: us about ten or five ten minutes from now after 874 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: we chat up. Jonathan talked earlier about the interview in 875 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: the Schultz Report that was done with Daniel Jones and 876 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones talking about it was really interesting because when 877 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: he was doing this interview Daniel Jones with Jordan Schultz, 878 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,400 Speaker 1: and Jordan Schultz was asking him about New York and 879 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: his experience in New York. And what was interesting was 880 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: Jones kept referencing the fast paced nature of New York City, 881 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: and he kept referencing the more down to earth nature 882 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis and the slower pace of Indianapolis. And when 883 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: he said, and I mentioned this earlier, but Jones does 884 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: this interview where he's asked about being a cult and 885 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: being in Indianapolis, and one of the things he said was, 886 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, when we got here during OTA's the Pacers 887 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: run was so much fun and seeing this city rally 888 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 1: around that. And then he was asked about restaurants and 889 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: he's like, well, there are a lot of great steakhouses downtown, 890 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 1: but there are you know, He's like, there are a 891 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of steakhouses in India, and he went on about 892 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: that and so, and I'm saying this independent of anybody 893 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: else on the roster. I'm not saying this in a 894 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: comparison to others on the roster, but the ability to 895 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 1: talk about this city and this market and what it 896 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: meant and I get it. I mean, it would be 897 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: difficult for anybody to be air dropped into Indianapolis during 898 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: the Pacers' finals run and not become aware of it. 899 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, it seemed like Daniel Jones was discussing or 900 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: mentioning a familiarity and a comfort level with the lifestyle 901 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis that was conducive for him versus New York. 902 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: And that shows a situational awareness that was impressive to me. 903 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Edwards is speaking of impressive. He has been exactly that, 904 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: which is why, as an undrafted free agent, he has 905 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 1: made the roster of the Indianapolis Colts as a cornerback 906 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: who comes by way of Tulane, but his first stop 907 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,400 Speaker 1: at Indiana State and Parkway North High School in Saint Louis. 908 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: Joins us on the show, Jonathan, how are you. 909 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 6: I'm doing well, Jake, how are you? 910 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: I am great? Thank you now? They said you had 911 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: an emergency meeting. Everything's okay, right. 912 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 6: Oh, everything is good. 913 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, we just had a meeting of defense system knocking 914 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 7: out some last minut players only meeting. 915 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: So okay, Well, we want to make sure that everything's okay. 916 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 1: And I don't want to take you away from anything. 917 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: It's of utter importance. Oh, let's begin with this now. 918 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 1: I know I was just talking about this. I used 919 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: to work in Saint Louis, so I know a little 920 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: about Saint Louis and I know about Parkway North and 921 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 1: feel free to disagree with me here, But in Saint Louis, 922 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,839 Speaker 1: especially athletically, there are so many rivalries and so many 923 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: great athletes that are at the private parochial schools, like 924 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 1: once the adjacent tate them or a David Lee like 925 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: gets to a certain level, they end up at CBC 926 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: or De smet And so I think sometimes like the 927 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: Parkway North's, for example, or Central's I'm not going to 928 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: say chip on the shoulder, but it doesn't get the 929 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 1: attention in Saint Louis like the other schools, and that 930 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: can kind of fuel a drive in you. Is that true? 931 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 1: And did you feel it? 932 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 6: Absolutely? 933 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 7: Like I remember growing up in high school, always being underlooked. 934 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 7: You know, everybody talked about CBC, this smet you know, 935 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 7: don't know Trinity, that's not a school anymore, but that 936 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 7: was a popular school during my time high school. And 937 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 7: I just remember like always wishing that I had a 938 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 7: chance to be compete with those guys more often than 939 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 7: we did, but definitely with a chip on our shoulder 940 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 7: from guys from public schools who we were a class 941 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 7: for school. So that definitely was something that drove me. 942 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: Well, okay, And so with that, you end up you know, 943 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: other guys are going to say, you know, Missoo or 944 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: Illinois or you know, wherever it be. And nothing against 945 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: Indiana State in any way, shape or form, but you 946 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: end up in Indiana State, which obviously, you know at 947 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: that time you were not listed to say a four 948 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: or five star recruit. So was that And I know 949 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: Indiana State was good for you, don't get me wrong, 950 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: but but did that also did that drive in that 951 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: inferiority complex that you didn't want to settle in on you? 952 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: Did it continue to motivate you at that point? 953 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 4: Yeah? 954 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:27,879 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 955 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 7: I remember me going to Indiana State and me remembering, 956 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 7: like God, not to knock anybody. But you remember in 957 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 7: high school, you see guys posting all over the place 958 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 7: how many offers they're getting. Like you talked about Miszoui 959 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 7: and Illinois, Like I never received a letter or anything 960 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 7: from Azoo or Illinois. So I just remember, like, man, like, 961 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 7: that's kind of crazy. I was an in state guy, 962 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 7: never having those opportunities or my name never being out there, 963 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 7: and then Indiana State taking a shot on me, and 964 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 7: then me being developed there and receiving great coach and 965 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 7: like you said, it's a smaller school, but I benefited 966 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 7: most as a man turin they're developing my game and 967 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 7: getting to where I am now.

That's 1011 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,760 Speaker 7: been the same song I've been singing all my life. 1012 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 7: So it's like that's my motivation now, like staying ready, 1013 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,800 Speaker 7: staying of course, and keeping my head down and just working. 1014 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 1: My guest is Jonathan Edwards, the cornerback of the Colts, 1015 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 1: the only member of the roster that was initially when 1016 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: the fifty three man announced that was an undrafted free 1017 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,319 Speaker 1: agent to make the squad. Jonathan, The reason I ask 1018 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: all of that is to then bring it to this 1019 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: question and just kind of think about it for a 1020 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 1: second if it makes sense when I ask it, if 1021 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 1: you had gone out of Parkway North High School and 1022 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: you have been able to do in the gymnasium the 1023 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: caps of Miszoo and Illinois, and you know, I'll throw 1024 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 1: what you know, Louisville in there whatever and get the 1025 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,720 Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance that comes with being a big recruit 1026 00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 1: and having that that stage right away for you.

He always 1047 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 7: when I first got here, he made sure to like 1048 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 7: introduce himself and guys here or just that's just the 1049 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 7: model here, Like we just got guys with great character, 1050 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,919 Speaker 7: not only Will, but just the whole locker room guys 1051 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 7: are welcoming from day one. 1052 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:08,959 Speaker 8: So but it's cool though. 1053 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 7: Because I went to the golf out of Indian the 1054 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 7: state over in May and Will made his way over 1055 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 7: there also, So it was cool knowing that. It's kind 1056 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 7: of like, you know people of the same people. 1057 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: So what did Kurt Mallory mean to you? Not just 1058 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: as a player, but just being away from home for 1059 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: the first time perhaps and being in a new area 1060 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: and just having that guidance, What did Kurt Mallory the 1061 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: man mean to you? 1062 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 7: Coach Malley the Man I really appreciate so much because 1063 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 7: we have similar values here on the coach that he 1064 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 7: has in the United State, like setting a very high 1065 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 7: standard but having a high character while we do everything. 1066 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 7: So it's like little things like being fifteen minutes. 1067 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 6: Early to the meeting. 1068 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 7: It created good values for me a young man to 1069 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 7: just want to not just throw in, but just be 1070 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 7: a guy who can be dependent on time or just 1071 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 7: said in the standing in the weight room, like beeing 1072 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 7: a guy that's not always for blitzing glamour, but just 1073 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 7: me and somebody that just wants to work hard and 1074 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 7: take the results that you worked for. Honestly, I remember 1075 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 7: him saying words like us working hard only gives us 1076 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 7: a chance. So if you don't work hard, you don't 1077 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,439 Speaker 7: have a chance at all. But even if you work hard, 1078 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 7: winning games is hard. So I just remember stuff like that, 1079 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 7: like saying like we have that's the least we can do. 1080 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 6: Working hard as the least you can do to give 1081 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 6: yourself a chance. 1082 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,919 Speaker 7: So little things like that I take away a lot. 1083 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 1: So Jonathan, I could probably sit here and talk to 1084 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: you for three hours. I know you've got places to 1085 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: be and things to do. I didn't want to, and 1086 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I think it's a great story right 1087 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,280 Speaker 1: in all of it. I'm curious of this in conclusion, 1088 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 1: at what point did you realize that this was possibly 1089 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 1: in the cards for you? At what point during camp 1090 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 1: did you realize, you know what, I might make this 1091 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 1: roster and this reality may be right here at my fingertips. 1092 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: When did you realize that you look like you were 1093 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: going to be an NFL player? 1094 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 6: You know if I can be completely honest. 1095 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 7: Before going into training camp, I told myself, like, I'm 1096 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 7: going to treat every day the same and just prove 1097 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 7: that I want to be here Indianapolis and be a coke. 1098 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 6: Like that was my day by day mindset. 1099 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 7: Now, when God started to go down, I remember vividly 1100 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 7: like a joint the joint practice versus Baltimore, and I 1101 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 7: felt like more confident out there. The game was slower 1102 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 7: and the game started slow down. I started progressing because 1103 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 7: I've had I had practices in training camp what seemed 1104 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 7: like nothing go right, Like I'm going against guys like 1105 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 7: Ad Right and Alec Pierce and just like getting better 1106 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 7: but being in the right position but not being able 1107 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 7: to make the play. But I feel like the turning 1108 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 7: point for me was like the first joint practice first 1109 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 7: the Ravens and then going to the first preasons game 1110 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 7: and in the second preseason game, like That's why I 1111 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 7: felt like I started to get my groove and starting 1112 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 7: to take off from there and then finishing strong like. 1113 01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,200 Speaker 6: I did the last week. 1114 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 7: So I would say that that key MoMA was, like 1115 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 7: I've been saying, was that first joint practice from with 1116 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,160 Speaker 7: the Ravens. 1117 01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: So why the Colts. I mean, when when it came 1118 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 1: how many different franchises reached out to you out of 1119 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 1: Tulane to offer you the opportunity or the or was 1120 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 1: it kind of the Jonathan Edward story. This was the 1121 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: place one place that reached out. 1122 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 7: It was it was amount of a good amount of 1123 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 7: teams that reached out to myself and my agent about 1124 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 7: me getting the opportunity to go on their team. But 1125 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 7: really what stood out without me with the coaches, just 1126 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 7: the coaching staff. They were the only team that gave 1127 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,959 Speaker 7: me a thirty Visit invited me over, Like I came 1128 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 7: in right away, and. 1129 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 6: I felt like I clicked really well with the coaches. 1130 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 6: I like, I love like the first thing we. 1131 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 7: Seeing like all over the building, this is them prioritizing 1132 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 7: character and being time like those little balues I've been 1133 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 7: used to all my life, like even with my parents 1134 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 7: been tramped that way, Like it was so attractive to me. 1135 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 7: And then I just liked how what the coach stood 1136 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 7: about and just like the direction they're going in. So 1137 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,479 Speaker 7: that really was what won me over. 1138 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Well, Jonathan, listen, it's our job in what I do 1139 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to have an objectivity and to not have favorites, not 1140 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 1: have rooting interest those kinds of things.

And I actually, and 1169 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 1: maybe this was this was actually the sports radio GUIDs 1170 01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: looking down upon us because Coach White had requested Taylor 1171 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Swift and then she really no swifty intro?

What we will get. I've got 1178 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: nothing against Taylor Swift. Now, are you a Taylor Swift 1179 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 1: fan per se or is it just because she's been 1180 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: in the news. 1181 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 4: Well, I'm a Taylor Swift fan. Tell my kids when, 1182 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 4: especially when they were young, we would sing Taylor Swift 1183 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 4: in the kitchen all day long. 1184 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 6: So yeah, Taylor Swift fan. 1185 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 4: But yes, of course she's been in the news, so 1186 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,520 Speaker 4: we've got to send out a congratulations, right, Okay. 1187 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Fair enough Kaitlyn Clark. 1188 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 2: Okay, when the Travis Kelsey engagement came out, we know 1189 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 2: she's a big Taylor Swift fan. 1190 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 4: She was, she was definitely celebrating, Okay, big Chiefs fan. 1191 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 4: So I mean, what more could she ask for? 1192 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: Actually, yes, because not And for those that don't know, 1193 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark has been a Chief fan I believe growing 1194 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: up because of her, you know, in Iowa. That's that's 1195 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of Chiefs territory. Let's get to that, which is 1196 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: obviously the elephant in the room, coach Stephanie White of 1197 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever, and that is the announcement yesterday that 1198 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark will miss the remain of the season. At 1199 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,600 Speaker 1: the risk of being elementary with this, would this decision 1200 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 1: have been the same if, for example, the situation was 1201 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 1: different with the rest of your roster and you were 1202 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,920 Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy and she was the only missing piece, 1203 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 1: et cetera. 1204 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have been the same. I mean, you know, 1205 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 4: we're at that point where you know, we want to 1206 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 4: make sure that we are putting Caitlin's long term health 1207 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 4: and wellness above everything else, and you know, making sure 1208 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 4: that she's one hundred percent healthy and ready before she 1209 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,160 Speaker 4: returned was the priority. And you know, unfortunately we just 1210 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 4: kind of we've run out of time to get her 1211 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 4: ready in the way that she would need to be 1212 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:40,240 Speaker 4: ready at this time of year. 1213 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,760 Speaker 1: Which injury is it that is holding her back? 1214 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 4: I mean essentially the original injury in July, the groin, 1215 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 4: and you think about you know, with the ankle, we 1216 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 4: don't really know because she's been rehabbing broke both congruently, 1217 01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 4: so we could have been in the same position. It's 1218 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 4: slowed the progress. But at the same time, you know, 1219 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 4: with soft tissue injuries and everything else, it's it's just 1220 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 4: they're so tricky, you know. And Kitlyn's been doing her part. 1221 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,040 Speaker 4: I mean, she's been trying incredibly hard in the weight room, 1222 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 4: working on the floor to get ready because the intent 1223 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 4: was for her to return, and we've just unfortunately run 1224 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 4: out of run out of runway. 1225 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:23,919 Speaker 1: You know, I look at it. Stephanie White is our guest, 1226 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Fever, and coach I look 1227 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 1: at it, and you tell me if there's an element 1228 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,520 Speaker 1: of this that is true. I know that you're disappointed 1229 01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: for Caitlyn Clark. I know that Caitlyn Clark's disappointed. I 1230 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 1: know that you're disappointed for the fans, and I know 1231 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,920 Speaker 1: the fans are disappointed. But I also feel a disappointment 1232 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 1: for the rest of the roster because I think this 1233 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 1: is a year where you have players that have been 1234 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: put in some of the most unusual circumstances that you 1235 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,280 Speaker 1: could see, and yet they have stayed the course and 1236 01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,640 Speaker 1: it is owed to them to give them the best 1237 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: operaortunity to win games and get into the postseason and 1238 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: win with it. What has been kind of the mental, 1239 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 1: I guess approach of your roster with all that has 1240 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:10,840 Speaker 1: gone on. 1241 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I've given these these women. I give 1242 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 4: them a lot of credit. Now, first and foremost, they're 1243 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 4: great human beings, and so their their ability to want 1244 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 4: empathize with their teammates, but at the same time understand 1245 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 4: that that that this is an opportunity for other teammates 1246 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 4: and and too to be flexible, to be resilient. 1247 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 6: I mean all of these. 1248 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 4: Things, and I think that the mindset of the team 1249 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 4: and the mentality of this team is. 1250 01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,520 Speaker 6: To do whatever it takes. 1251 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 4: And you know, we we spoke so much early in 1252 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 4: the season about the depth of our roster and how 1253 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard for everybody to play and and 1254 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,640 Speaker 4: what it looks like. And because of the depth of 1255 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 4: our roster, we're still in a situation where where we're 1256 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,200 Speaker 4: fighting to get into the playoffs in spite of everything 1257 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 4: that we've gone through, and we've got you know, five 1258 01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,760 Speaker 4: players that we've we've lost to now season ending injuries 1259 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,280 Speaker 4: for which started at various points in the season, and uh, 1260 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 4: and for our team to just continue to put one 1261 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 4: foot in front of the other, to continue to elevate 1262 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 4: the way that they've played and elevate one another and 1263 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 4: position ourselves to be, you know, right in the hunt 1264 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 4: where we are. I think it's it's it's an incredible 1265 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 4: it's an incredible testament to their mindset, their toughness, their resilience, 1266 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 4: their ability to bounce back, their have been ability to 1267 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 4: handle disappointments and then fuel it in ways that that 1268 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 4: you're able to create positive, positive outcomes. 1269 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: When you look at and I know there's basketball to 1270 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 1: be played this year. Coach Okay, so I don't mean 1271 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it that way, but when you look at next year 1272 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 1: when you're you're getting ready with a full roster of health, Okay, 1273 01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,400 Speaker 1: do you look at the challenges this year as something 1274 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: that will most benefit you in terms of just minutes 1275 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:56,080 Speaker 1: experience for your depth or is it more so psychological 1276 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 1: experience and the mental advantage that can come with the 1277 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 1: adversity they had to through this year. 1278 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 4: I think both, uh, you know, and when I when 1279 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 4: I think about really the the cultural roots that are 1280 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 4: that are that are being grown and established and you know, 1281 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 4: anchored in for lack of a better term, it's just 1282 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,680 Speaker 4: I think it's gonna it's gonna pay dividends for for 1283 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 4: this group down the road in the future. I mean, 1284 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,919 Speaker 4: there's no substitute for experience and and the the experience 1285 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 4: that this group has had of constantly taking hits and 1286 01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:31,440 Speaker 4: disappointments and frustrations and being able to weather the storm regardless. 1287 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,600 Speaker 4: The foundation is being built so where we're gonna be 1288 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 4: able to handle those moments, continue to handle those moments 1289 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 4: in games, and we're gonna be able to understand what 1290 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 4: we have to do to push through tough moments in games, 1291 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,320 Speaker 4: and we're gonna have now had that experience, uh, throughout 1292 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:50,759 Speaker 4: the course of this season to understand and and quite frankly, 1293 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 4: you know, be humbled enough to know how important every 1294 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 4: moment is. And I think it's gonna pay dividends, you know, 1295 01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 4: down the road and in the future for this group. 1296 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: The Fever are in action tonight against the Chicago's Guy 1297 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 1: seven thirty at the field House pregame at seven fifteen. 1298 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: No Angel reaes for Chicago tonight. Coach, I wanted you 1299 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 1: to if you could kind of expand on this, and 1300 01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: that is the decision with Caitlin Clark yesterday. I mean 1301 01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 1: that announcement and obviously I realize you guys were aware 1302 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: that will probably well before that announcement. But what all 1303 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 1: goes into that when you are taking a marquee player 1304 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,679 Speaker 1: like that and deciding the year is complete. How much 1305 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,840 Speaker 1: of that is player decision? How much of that is 1306 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:37,240 Speaker 1: franchise decision? You know? And just what all? How did 1307 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 1: she handle that determination? 1308 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 6: Well? 1309 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 4: I think first and foremost, you know, the priority of 1310 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,040 Speaker 4: getting her in position that she could get out there 1311 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 4: on the floor and be successful. You know that that's 1312 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 4: giving as much time as needed, and that that's you know, 1313 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 4: quite frankly, why why there's no timeline, It's just you. 1314 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 4: You want to make sure that she she is is 1315 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 4: is physically ready to go, that she's you know, in 1316 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,760 Speaker 4: a position where not just from a from a health 1317 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 4: standpoint and wellness standpoint, but an endurance standpoint at this 1318 01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 4: point in the year. I mean that that growing injury 1319 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,760 Speaker 4: was middle of July and now we're we're almost middle 1320 01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 4: of September, and and for her, the work that she's 1321 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,000 Speaker 4: put in, I mean, you know, I'm I'm not gonna 1322 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 4: speak for Caitlin, but but as a former athlete who's 1323 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 4: gone through injury, you know, it's it's it's tough, and 1324 01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 4: it's in frustrating any time that you feel like you're 1325 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 4: not in a position that you want to be in 1326 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 4: in spite of putting in all the work that it takes. 1327 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,639 Speaker 4: And so you know, it's it's a collaborative decision. It's 1328 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 4: lots of conversations. You know, we knew, we knew that 1329 01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 4: this that this road trip and being able to see 1330 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 4: if we could get her on the floor and get 1331 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 4: get contact on the floor was going to be important, 1332 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 4: and and really wanted to make sure that we were 1333 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 4: giving every opportunity for her to be back, and and 1334 01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 4: and then you know, coming back and just seeing that 1335 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,599 Speaker 4: that we hadn't made the progress that we'd hoped, and 1336 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 4: thinking about what kind of game shape she would need 1337 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 4: to be in at this point in the season, and 1338 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 4: also how teams play her. I mean, they play Kaitlyn 1339 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 4: Clark differently than they play anyone else ninety four feet 1340 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,400 Speaker 4: level of physicality, the endurance that's necessary to be able 1341 01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 4: to play, quite honestly, playoff basketball, because that's what every 1342 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,440 Speaker 4: game right now. So it was a collective, collective conversations, 1343 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 4: collective decisions, and ultimately, yes, it's frustrating. She wants to 1344 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:30,799 Speaker 4: be out there on the floor, and yes it's frustrating 1345 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 4: we want her to be out there on the floor. 1346 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,320 Speaker 4: But again, our priority has always been her long term 1347 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 4: health and wellness and we don't want to sacrifice that. 1348 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 1: You dealt with injury as a player, and you're obviously 1349 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 1: a competitor, do you now and Caitlyn Clark has not, 1350 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to my knowledge at least certainly at Iowa, had this 1351 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 1: level of an injury that is lingered. Do you tutor 1352 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 1: her a little bit or lean does she lean on 1353 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,880 Speaker 1: you in terms of understanding the emotional aspect and the 1354 01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 1: psychology that goes with being an elite athlete going through injury. 1355 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 4: I think she's got great resources myself. You know, Bree January, Kareema, Christmas. 1356 01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,680 Speaker 6: Kelly on our staff, you know, all of which have. 1357 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,600 Speaker 4: Gone through multiple injuries in season, out of season, have 1358 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 4: gone through what it takes to rehab, the frustrations of 1359 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 4: being injured, the isolation of being injured, and the work that. 1360 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 6: It takes to come back. 1361 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 4: I mean, so I think she's got great resources that 1362 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 4: we're available to her. She's also got other resources around 1363 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 4: her that she's able to utilize. You know, I think 1364 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:35,559 Speaker 4: the biggest thing is frustration and disappointment and then making 1365 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 4: sure you channel that to the rehab and to the 1366 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:40,800 Speaker 4: to the strength and conditioning, into all the things that 1367 01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,680 Speaker 4: it takes to put yourself in position that when we 1368 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:45,880 Speaker 4: come back in twenty twenty six, we're one hundred percent healthy, 1369 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 4: ready to go. 1370 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,600 Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, coach, and then we'll let you go. I 1371 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:52,320 Speaker 1: appreciate the time you talk about resources.

The vision, 1381 01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 4: the belief, the commitment that the Simon family has made 1382 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 4: to this organization from day one to now when it 1383 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 4: when it's going to another level is just incredible.

They 1385 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 4: deserve to have the best in the world at their fingertips. 1386 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 4: And and you know, dedicated space that not just for 1387 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 4: athletes but directly relegated to female athletes and the needs 1388 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 4: of female athletes is huge.

I looked at it and I'm like, how 1408 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 1: in the world is every program not in on him. 1409 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in fifteen. I'm all in on 1410 01:15:48,240 --> 01:16:00,120 Speaker 1: Jonathan Edwards. I'm telling you and I listen. I'll be 1411 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 1: totally honest about this. I think I've changed a lot 1412 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:09,120 Speaker 1: in my over the course of my career, and I 1413 01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: took and it was a different era when I started 1414 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:19,439 Speaker 1: in sports television, sports media, sports radio for that matter. 1415 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:22,760 Speaker 1: It was a different era. And I'm not saying that 1416 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 1: it was right versus wrong. Now, any of that, it 1417 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: was just different, and the fact that it was so 1418 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:36,040 Speaker 1: ingrained in all of us to have an objectivity and 1419 01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 1: have no rooting interest. And I know that that irks 1420 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I get it, and I'm 1421 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,639 Speaker 1: not saying they're wrong. But I've told the story before 1422 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,559 Speaker 1: of when I was in the sixth grade, I called 1423 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,080 Speaker 1: Ed Sorenson at WRTV. I just picked up the phone 1424 01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,800 Speaker 1: and called and said, I want to be a sportscaster. 1425 01:16:58,040 --> 01:16:59,680 Speaker 1: And he said, well, you know, come down and have 1426 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 1: your pay drop you off. And I shadowed under Ed 1427 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 1: and then the next day I called him again and 1428 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:08,880 Speaker 1: I just I kind of never went away. And that's 1429 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: how my career began, was just going in and I 1430 01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,120 Speaker 1: loved it. I loved everything about just going into the 1431 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 1: Channel six Sports office and popping in from time to 1432 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,799 Speaker 1: time and just sitting in there and reading media guides 1433 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,680 Speaker 1: and being a fly on the wall. And eventually one 1434 01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,920 Speaker 1: day Ed and I was the biggest IU fan on 1435 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 1: the planet and I was always asking about IU and 1436 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,839 Speaker 1: you know, hey, did you happen to see on the feeds? 1437 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 1: Did Jay Edwards get any minutes for the Clippers? And 1438 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, all of it right, and Ed said to 1439 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,360 Speaker 1: me one day, Look, you don't know where your career 1440 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 1: is going to take you, but wherever it does, if 1441 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 1: you end up back in Indianapolis, you can't be a 1442 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 1: face painting pompom waiver because not everybody in Indianapolis is 1443 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: an IU fan. You're gonna want them to watch you, 1444 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 1: whether they root for prdud under name Butler, Indiana, whatever 1445 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: it might be. And when you're talking about Indiana, you 1446 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,639 Speaker 1: need them to trust and understand that what you're saying 1447 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:07,800 Speaker 1: is an observation and not a rooting interest, but an objective, 1448 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 1: down the middle observation or a fact based observation. And 1449 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 1: that's when he said to me, you need to pick 1450 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 1: a team that you will likely never cover and let 1451 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,600 Speaker 1: that be your sports fandom outlet. And that's how I 1452 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:27,680 Speaker 1: became a Clemson fan, and for that reason when I 1453 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: got into this line of work and ended up in Indianapolis. 1454 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:36,799 Speaker 1: Like most people of my era, we were just trained 1455 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 1: and conditioned to not be of rooting interest for a team. 1456 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 1: So that that way, whether you are talking good or 1457 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,719 Speaker 1: bad about them, the person ingesting what you were saying 1458 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 1: can say, well, at the very least I know what 1459 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm getting is a fact based observation or report as 1460 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 1: opposed to with bias. And I know that those are 1461 01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:01,400 Speaker 1: all polarizing terms in today's media stuff. But because that 1462 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 1: was the way that I was conditioned for so many years, 1463 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: especially when I first got in the business, I was 1464 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 1: almost over compensatory to being objective, maybe even to the 1465 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:17,640 Speaker 1: point of forcing myself to be almost cynical, because I 1466 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: didn't want to be a pompom waiver. I'm not saying 1467 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: that that's right or wrong. It's just the era in 1468 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 1: which I came up. And so for that reason, now 1469 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,000 Speaker 1: that I'm older and I've been around it a long time, 1470 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 1: and that's what I said about the Pacers Run. Deep 1471 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 1: down inside of me was this little kid that couldn't 1472 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,920 Speaker 1: wait to go see Wayman Tisdale play and sang the 1473 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 1: song of Pacer Pride, the Pride of Indiana when and 1474 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,639 Speaker 1: watched Channel four and watch games when they were terrible 1475 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: and they were winning twenty one games and I was 1476 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 1: eleven years old. So when they made that finals run, 1477 01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm I'm stepping away from 1478 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 1: Superman and I'm back to Clark Kent and I'm going 1479 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: to be a Pacer fan. And while I still try 1480 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: to maintain that objectivity, there are certain storylines and players 1481 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,640 Speaker 1: where I go, yeah, as a human being, you're going 1482 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 1: to root for that. And Jonathan Edwards is one of them. 1483 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,839 Speaker 1: That guy was awesome. That was an awesome His answers 1484 01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 1: were awesome, His personality was awesome. I don't know him personally. 1485 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that we know who he is as 1486 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 1: a person, but I think he gives us a good idea. 1487 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 1: And you watch that and you hear that, and you say, go, 1488 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 1: number thirty five, Let's go Colts. Let's go Jonathan Edwards. Jake. 1489 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,360 Speaker 2: Something that always stands out to me. You know, we 1490 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 2: talked to so many players, whether that's you know, Colts, 1491 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 2: Pacers or you name it. You know, there's like a 1492 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,599 Speaker 2: level of like a like he respects other people because 1493 01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 2: he actually said your name, Like he made it out 1494 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,400 Speaker 2: of his way to like, yeah, Jake, yeah, this, yeah that, 1495 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,200 Speaker 2: instead of you know. 1496 01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,559 Speaker 1: Just completely ignoring it. Yeah. I think that's it. It's 1497 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 1: just a little things like that. You're right totally. Kyle 1498 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Nedenripp joins us next big slate of games in high 1499 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 1: school football upcoming. It's a Friday means that we get 1500 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 1: to talk about and last week, by the way, so 1501 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Crystal House is one of the teams that I'm trying 1502 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 1: to back and support, and last week I actually went 1503 01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,080 Speaker 1: online to look and see and their game was the 1504 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 1: only unreported game. So I was like, wait a minute, 1505 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 1: did they win or not win? And I couldn't find 1506 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:25,719 Speaker 1: any result for it whatsoever, and so I'm not certain 1507 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: whether or not they won. I do know this, Carmel 1508 01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 1: and Kevin Wright is a guy that I have known 1509 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: since he first started coaching high school football. He was 1510 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 1: an assistant when I was in high school at North Central. 1511 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,240 Speaker 1: Of course, his dad a legend, and I think Carmel's 1512 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 1: for real. That's one of the things that we can 1513 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,680 Speaker 1: talk about with our next guest. 1514 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 8: Speaking of lost and clueless, So we bring on Kyle 1515 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:49,840 Speaker 8: Needenrip from the. 1516 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 1: R That's right. He joins us now and they always busy, 1517 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 1: very busy. Today guest line Kyle Ndtrip joins the program. 1518 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,680 Speaker 1: All right, Kyle, I'll begin with this. I did not 1519 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:00,720 Speaker 1: get a chance to see and I'm gonna put you 1520 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,320 Speaker 1: on the spot because you may not remember or have 1521 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 1: it all the top of your head. Did Crystal House 1522 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 1: win last week. 1523 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 8: No, and I cannot remember who they played right now. 1524 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 8: It's escaping me. 1525 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 1: It was the last It was the only unreported score 1526 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,679 Speaker 1: when I checked late last Friday night. 1527 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,599 Speaker 8: Yes, I believe it was a team from Gary. 1528 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's begin with this and I'll start where I 1529 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 1: was just talking. Carmel is for real, are they not? 1530 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,599 Speaker 1: It looks like, you know, when Kevin Wright has had 1531 01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,799 Speaker 1: success everywhere he has gone, Carmel has been a obviously 1532 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 1: a rich tradition of football, but they had some down 1533 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,639 Speaker 1: years by their standards. But it looks like they are 1534 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: for real. Tell me I'm wrong. 1535 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,120 Speaker 8: No, you're definitely, You're definitely on track. I you know, 1536 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,120 Speaker 8: I had a chance to see Carmel in person last 1537 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,760 Speaker 8: week against Westfield and you know, expected a really good 1538 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 8: game and it was. You know, Westfield fell behind big. 1539 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 8: It was twenty to zero going in the halftime, and 1540 01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,280 Speaker 8: then battled back. You know, we're within the ten with 1541 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 8: a chance to cut it even further, and then the interception, 1542 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,919 Speaker 8: really nice play in the end zone by Carmel's defensive 1543 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 8: back Grace and George. But from there Carmel kind of role. 1544 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,559 Speaker 8: It was thirty four to ten and you know, these 1545 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 8: first two games, man, it's been very impressive what they've 1546 01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 8: done with fishers in Westfield these first two weeks. And 1547 01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 8: you know, from talking to Kevin in the preseason, you know, 1548 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 8: I don't think he fully knew like what he had exactly. 1549 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,439 Speaker 8: You know, you're coming in after you know, a long 1550 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 8: time away from the high school game, and you know 1551 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 8: he was he believed he had a good team, but 1552 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 8: you know, you don't know until you get out there. Well, 1553 01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 8: you know, the first two weeks they've been super impressive. 1554 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,639 Speaker 8: They went from outside the top ten to number three 1555 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 8: in sixth a very quickly. So you know, I guess 1556 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 8: the Carmel is Carmel back question will be answered, you 1557 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 8: know later in this you know, obviously in the sectional 1558 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,200 Speaker 8: and beyond. But but yeah, they're definitely on the right track. 1559 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,599 Speaker 8: Their offense is just really dynamic and explosive and fast paced. 1560 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 8: And then you know they're defense really played exceptional against Westfield, 1561 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,320 Speaker 8: And you know, I don't know if you know, there's 1562 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 8: there's many there. You know, definitely Brownsburg Center Grove. You 1563 01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,719 Speaker 8: know we'll see I cover HCA avon tonight. I'm curiously 1564 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,040 Speaker 8: both those teams, but you put them right in the 1565 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 8: upper echelon a six A. I think without hesitation, right now, 1566 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 8: you know. 1567 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 1: One of the guys in the area, Kyle Kyle Medreb 1568 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,879 Speaker 1: from the Indianapolis Stars, our guest talking in high school football, 1569 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Sharp at Brownsburg. I mean looks like a like 1570 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,360 Speaker 1: a Tyreek Hill kind of player. I mean, you get 1571 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,759 Speaker 1: him in space and let him go. Now, I'm talking 1572 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,040 Speaker 1: a very limited scope by which I've seen him, and 1573 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:37,960 Speaker 1: I was surprised to see. I think he's a junior 1574 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 1: that his offers lists to this point are not to 1575 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,800 Speaker 1: the level of I'm like, man, this guy looks unstoppable. 1576 01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 1: But part of that may be size. He's five eleven, 1577 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 1: one sixty. Did I just see like a small sample 1578 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,160 Speaker 1: size where he looked unbelievable in particularly in the Cathedral game. 1579 01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 1: Or is he, in fact one of the best players 1580 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 1: in the area and one whose offers will only. 1581 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,680 Speaker 8: Escalate They will definite only escalate. I think I think 1582 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,880 Speaker 8: you're on track with what maybe why the you know 1583 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 8: the Alabama's and maybe Alabama's are on considering their first 1584 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 8: game of the year, but uh, you know, some of 1585 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 8: the some of the blue blue chip you know programs 1586 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 8: haven't offered yet you know, and he did visit Ohio 1587 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 8: State last weekend. So I'm curious. You know, Ohio States 1588 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,599 Speaker 8: a little bit later to offer normally, just because they 1589 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,880 Speaker 8: have the pick of the litter, uh, you know when 1590 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 8: it comes to basically every position, but certainly receiver. So uh, 1591 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,640 Speaker 8: I'm curious to see what transpires. You know, some of 1592 01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 8: these other blue chip programs. I think the only reason 1593 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 8: is really his size. I mean, he's he's but you 1594 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 8: also look at where he'll play in college. You know 1595 01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 8: that that slot receiver probably I would assume, and you know, 1596 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 8: he's so dynamic and so shifty. You know, he's unlike 1597 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,920 Speaker 8: a lot of players, uh that that I see on 1598 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 8: Friday nights. I mean, so I think that will only 1599 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 8: ramp up. 1600 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 6: You know. 1601 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,920 Speaker 8: I I can't imagine he won't have a you know, 1602 01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 8: another you know, chunk of offers that are going to 1603 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 8: be coming his way. And you know, he had over 1604 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,200 Speaker 8: a thousand yards as a sophomore, so he can't really 1605 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:04,800 Speaker 8: say he hasn't done it. You know, he's done it 1606 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,400 Speaker 8: at the six A level. They won State. He's had 1607 01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,759 Speaker 8: two huge games already this season, and anytime he touches 1608 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 8: the ball, he's he's he's got a chance to take 1609 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:16,519 Speaker 8: it to the house. And I'm you know, I've seen 1610 01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 8: him play for a while. I know what kind of 1611 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 8: a player he is, and you know, and he's got 1612 01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 8: a great quarterback too, and and a great team around him. 1613 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 8: But that that, uh yeah, you're right about sharp. He's 1614 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,200 Speaker 8: he's a guy who can you know, change a game 1615 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 8: in a hurry, and he's done that throughout his career 1616 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 8: so far. So I think, you know, he's only going 1617 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 8: to have more offers. If he was you know, six four, 1618 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,360 Speaker 8: six five, he'd be a five star, you know, and 1619 01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,920 Speaker 8: that'd be over with. But but he'll he'll uh you know, 1620 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,680 Speaker 8: he'll get his share for sure. And he's he's on 1621 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 8: the shortlist and most talented players in the state Crystal House. 1622 01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 1: By the way, tonight takes on Indianapolis Washington. That's a 1623 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 1: game of two programs, the kids that are working hard 1624 01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:56,080 Speaker 1: and programs that are trying to get things going in 1625 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 1: the right direction. And they've got kids that are working 1626 01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 1: hard to do that. So we wish the best of 1627 01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,600 Speaker 1: luck to both of those schools. I know that you 1628 01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: had mentioned HC you're going to have tonight. What other 1629 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,920 Speaker 1: games tonight jump out at you, Kyle as the big matchups. 1630 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, it was Christos played the homeschool out of Nobles. 1631 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 6: So that's right. 1632 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 8: That was a that was a game that we talked 1633 01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,920 Speaker 8: about a little bit last week. But yeah, I would 1634 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 8: say some of the better games. You know, it's kind 1635 01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,320 Speaker 8: of a week where all the conference games start, you know, 1636 01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,599 Speaker 8: or a lot of them do anyway, So a lot 1637 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 8: of the HCC they all play each other. There's some 1638 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 8: mick games tonight. Uh there's the new conference. Uh, you 1639 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,360 Speaker 8: have a really good game tonight. Trenton Central plays at 1640 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 8: Try West and there's a they made I seventy four 1641 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,920 Speaker 8: trophy to go with that. So that's pretty cool. Uh 1642 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,200 Speaker 8: that Legends who's your Legends conference? 1643 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:43,080 Speaker 6: Is what that is. 1644 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 8: That's first game ever. 1645 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:44,719 Speaker 6: In that league. 1646 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:48,160 Speaker 8: So but then out of the heavyweights hc avon I 1647 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 8: mentioned Ron College Guitard. That rivalry kicks up again tonight 1648 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:59,000 Speaker 8: at Stard. Interesting game too. East Central goes to Lawrence 1649 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 8: North and that's it's kind of a different game. You 1650 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 8: know East Central's you know their four A by enrollment, 1651 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:08,040 Speaker 8: they're playing five A via the success factor. Lawrence North 1652 01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 8: very fast athletic team, so kind of a contrast of 1653 01:28:11,880 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 8: styles a little bit there. You mentioned Brownsburg. They play 1654 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:18,280 Speaker 8: Franklin Central tonight, both those teams two and oh, and 1655 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 8: also i'd say Sascinia Beach Grove is definitely a game 1656 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 8: to watch those Both those teams are two and o 1657 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 8: and put up some really good offensive numbers this year. 1658 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 8: And then probably the other one be Plainfield Morsville in 1659 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,280 Speaker 8: the Mid State Conference, will be a will be a 1660 01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,840 Speaker 8: fun game, I think in Plainfield as one of the 1661 01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:37,040 Speaker 8: last two in that series after Morrisville kind of had 1662 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,919 Speaker 8: dominated for a few years, so that that old rivalry 1663 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 8: gets renewed tonight as well. 1664 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,160 Speaker 1: The Mid State You know, you mentioned that seventy four trophy. 1665 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:45,840 Speaker 1: Now what they ought to do is like say Penal 1666 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:47,600 Speaker 1: and Heights and handl on the Southeastern they should have 1667 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,879 Speaker 1: an I sixty nine trophy. It's just an orange cone 1668 01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 1: that they hand back and forth. Right, is that right? 1669 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,479 Speaker 8: There's probably a lot of highways you could do. 1670 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:59,559 Speaker 1: That far after the especially right now, right, no question exactly. Hey, 1671 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,960 Speaker 1: Cathedral tonight taking on, you know, and Cathedral does this 1672 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:07,240 Speaker 1: a lot. They got Cincinnati Saint Xavier tonight. Cathedral's probably 1673 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: the most tradition laden program in the area. And I 1674 01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:12,559 Speaker 1: think a lot of times at the beginning of the 1675 01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,679 Speaker 1: year you look at Cathedral and you think, boyd down 1676 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 1: here for Cathedral. But I'll give them credit, they kind 1677 01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 1: of step outside themselves and really challenge themselves typically earlier 1678 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,240 Speaker 1: in the year, and then that paced dividend at the 1679 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 1: end of the year in fact against Brownsburg. Is that 1680 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,040 Speaker 1: an example? Did we learn more about Brownsburg in that 1681 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 1: game or Cathedral? And what are we looking to learn 1682 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 1: about them tonight? 1683 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,439 Speaker 8: Definitely, I think we learned about Brownsburg that there are 1684 01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,400 Speaker 8: you know, because Cathedral, you know, first week of the season, 1685 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 8: you know, they go out and be Ben Davis and 1686 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:44,960 Speaker 8: where they want ate nothing. I don've been Davis as 1687 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,720 Speaker 8: young and that sort of thing. But I mean to 1688 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,720 Speaker 8: hold Cathedral without a point to me, that says a 1689 01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,960 Speaker 8: lot about where kind of where Brownsburg's at right now. Cathedral. 1690 01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,000 Speaker 8: The Saint Xavier game has been great for them. I 1691 01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,400 Speaker 8: mean this has been, you know, a game they have 1692 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 8: gone back and forth the last several years, you know, 1693 01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 8: really close games every year, and and Saint x is 1694 01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:06,960 Speaker 8: always a team that's ranked real high in the nation 1695 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,599 Speaker 8: and in Ohio. Uh So it's a great test for them. 1696 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 8: I think the you know, the keyfer Cathedral is just 1697 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 8: like you mentioned to just kind of you know, get 1698 01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:17,800 Speaker 8: better towards the end of the year. Their record is 1699 01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 8: never indicative of how tough they are once they get 1700 01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 8: to the tournament. And really, you know a little bit 1701 01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,760 Speaker 8: different this year. They've been playing six A. Now they're 1702 01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 8: playing five A this year. So really the game you 1703 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,680 Speaker 8: know everybody probably has circled is not even on the 1704 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,120 Speaker 8: schedule yet. It's it's that new Pal game because they 1705 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,760 Speaker 8: will likely see each other down the road in the 1706 01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,639 Speaker 8: sectional so and playingfields in there too. So you've got 1707 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,599 Speaker 8: three teams that are really strong, but probably the Newpaul 1708 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 8: Cathedral game is is inevitable to some extent, and you know, 1709 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,719 Speaker 8: you're just kind of I know, coach Peebles likes his team. 1710 01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:50,800 Speaker 8: They're they're a good team up front. They they've run 1711 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,800 Speaker 8: the ball really well and didn't have much success against Brownsburg, 1712 01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 8: But like I said, I think that speaks to Brownsburg 1713 01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:01,559 Speaker 8: just has a lot of explosive, explosive players. Cathedral probably 1714 01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 8: maybe not quite as many in comparison, but again, a 1715 01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,040 Speaker 8: five A team, uh that that will get tested. They 1716 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,200 Speaker 8: play Center Grove down the road, to which that would be, 1717 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 8: you know, an interesting game to kind of compare scores against. 1718 01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,559 Speaker 8: But uh, but yeah, I think they'll be fine. I mean, 1719 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,559 Speaker 8: I think the whole key for them is to just 1720 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 8: get ready for that tournament run. And probably whoever comes 1721 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,120 Speaker 8: out of that sectional, you know, in five A is 1722 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:26,720 Speaker 8: is gonna be the favorite in that class. You know. 1723 01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 8: I I know there's other good teams out there, but 1724 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,559 Speaker 8: the winner of that newpal Cathedral slash Plainfield sectional is 1725 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:34,639 Speaker 8: is gonna have a really good chance. 1726 01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 1: North Central Warren Central tonight, north Side east Side advantage. 1727 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:43,479 Speaker 8: Who I'm gonna say Warren, you know, and I like 1728 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,320 Speaker 8: what North Central's done. Uh, they got that big first 1729 01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 8: win and really the score last week. They played the 1730 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 8: hc uh tougher than they have in the past, you know, 1731 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 8: have in recent years. So but I'm gonna say Warren, 1732 01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,960 Speaker 8: I like, really like the running back who has had 1733 01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,960 Speaker 8: a couple of good games. They went up to Warsaw 1734 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,559 Speaker 8: last week and won twenty eight fourteen. That Warsaw team, 1735 01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:09,120 Speaker 8: of course, played in the State five A finals. A 1736 01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,759 Speaker 8: good program, went on the road and won. They're playing 1737 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,439 Speaker 8: some different quarterbacks, kind of mixing some guys in. But 1738 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:18,280 Speaker 8: Keon Thomas. They're running back. He went to visited Purdue 1739 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 8: last weekend. He had a bucks seventy two last week 1740 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:24,080 Speaker 8: and three tds. He's really played well against Center Grove. 1741 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 8: He's tough, so I give them the slight advantage. But 1742 01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 8: North Central Javon Brooks definitely a name to know for 1743 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:34,080 Speaker 8: the Panthers. He had three catches for ninety four and 1744 01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:36,720 Speaker 8: a touchdown last week in that lost to HC. So 1745 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,719 Speaker 8: North Central obviously very young. Still I think their best 1746 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:42,960 Speaker 8: best football's ahead of them, even in coming years. But 1747 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,800 Speaker 8: laying the groundwork I think for you know, for a 1748 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,160 Speaker 8: turnaround for that program. 1749 01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 1: I said, come on when you said Warren over North Central, 1750 01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 1: But I think you're probably right. I'm realistic to it. 1751 01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:54,680 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, thing would be a good game. What's that? 1752 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:56,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it'll be a good game. I do. 1753 01:32:56,920 --> 01:32:59,800 Speaker 8: I think I think I think Warren. You know, they're 1754 01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:02,200 Speaker 8: young too in a lot of places and inexperience, So 1755 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:03,519 Speaker 8: you got you got a little bit of that on 1756 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:04,680 Speaker 8: both sides tonight. 1757 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 1: Kyle, appreciate it.

There, of course you hear 1780 01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,120 Speaker 1: Jeff in the morning along with James Boyd and our 1781 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 1: next guest who joins us on the guest line, Kevin Bowen, 1782 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,240 Speaker 1: as he will do each and every Friday leading into 1783 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,920 Speaker 1: Colts games. Kevin, let's begin right away with this one, 1784 01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,280 Speaker 1: and that is what I've said with John and others 1785 01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:33,640 Speaker 1: throughout the course of the week, but I want you 1786 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:37,000 Speaker 1: to expand upon it. You always want to get off 1787 01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,559 Speaker 1: on the right foot on a season, and you want 1788 01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,559 Speaker 1: to for the first time since they beat Terrell Pryor 1789 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 1: and the Raiders get a win an opening game to 1790 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,800 Speaker 1: start the season. But this one, to me is even 1791 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:54,160 Speaker 1: bigger with Miami because, barring injury on either side, I 1792 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:57,360 Speaker 1: think Miami and Denver boats the colts first two opponents, 1793 01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:02,320 Speaker 1: are two teams that really have similar plots within the AFC, 1794 01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,120 Speaker 1: and you could theoretically look at and say, these are 1795 01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 1: the teams that Indianapolis if they want to get into 1796 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:10,840 Speaker 1: the postseason, that we're going to be scoreboard watching in 1797 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,920 Speaker 1: November and December, and therefore you got to get off 1798 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,840 Speaker 1: on a good foot with them right now. Am I 1799 01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:19,280 Speaker 1: giving too much credit to Indianapolis or too little credit 1800 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:20,280 Speaker 1: to Miami and Denver. 1801 01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:27,280 Speaker 9: First, Happy belated birthday, Thank you the great great birthday. No, 1802 01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,559 Speaker 9: I think you're spot on, and so yeah, I mean 1803 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,800 Speaker 9: it's really conversation I think I or we have had 1804 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,680 Speaker 9: since the schedule came out in May. I think if 1805 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,639 Speaker 9: you rank the importance of the seventeen games in the schedule, 1806 01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,040 Speaker 9: I would argue, outside of the two Houston games, these 1807 01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,639 Speaker 9: games right here, Miami and Denver, as you pointed out, 1808 01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:47,320 Speaker 9: are three and four, So I think they're huge. And 1809 01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,200 Speaker 9: I don't even care about like the week one drought. 1810 01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:53,000 Speaker 9: I mean, sure, I guess it matters. But you know, 1811 01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:55,920 Speaker 9: wherever the Miami or Denver games would have fallen on 1812 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,639 Speaker 9: the schedule, I probably would have ranked them pretty high. 1813 01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,160 Speaker 9: The fact that they're both at home is well, I 1814 01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 9: think adds to it. 1815 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,440 Speaker 6: So yeah. I mean, if you look at recent years. 1816 01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:08,160 Speaker 9: Miami and India, especially Denver here more last year, they 1817 01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 9: have been right there in the old wild card pool 1818 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 9: trying to get one of those three spots. So yes, 1819 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,679 Speaker 9: I think it takes on even more importance here. 1820 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:19,160 Speaker 6: Coming up on Sunday, what. 1821 01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:23,400 Speaker 1: Is an area Kevin that we have not talked. We've 1822 01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,680 Speaker 1: talked so much about the quarterback spot. And I know 1823 01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:28,880 Speaker 1: that with Daniel Jones. There's a ton of intriguing in 1824 01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:33,160 Speaker 1: Tyler Warren as well. Right, But is there an area 1825 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:37,080 Speaker 1: with this team and this roster and this construction thereof 1826 01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:43,040 Speaker 1: that you're gonna find yourself consistently looking towards come Sunday 1827 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 1: And because you just don't have a feel for it yet, 1828 01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 1: it's not been one of the main talking points. 1829 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 6: How about kicker? 1830 01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:55,320 Speaker 9: And I would say that for probably either team, to 1831 01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:57,160 Speaker 9: be honest with you. So for the Colts, we know 1832 01:36:57,200 --> 01:37:00,120 Speaker 9: the kicking situation. They cut in that Gay back in 1833 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,519 Speaker 9: the spring. Spencer Schrader, second year in the league, is 1834 01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:06,519 Speaker 9: now the place kicker he is. He's got a booming leg, 1835 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:10,360 Speaker 9: that's no issue whatsoever. But he's only kicked five field 1836 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:13,000 Speaker 9: goals in his centfl career, kicked for three different teams. 1837 01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,760 Speaker 9: He actually kicked in the Cooles opener last year when 1838 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 9: Matt Gay was hurt. But now he's a full time kicker. 1839 01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:20,840 Speaker 9: And again the leg is of no issue. But you know, 1840 01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:22,840 Speaker 9: for example, yes, they were out there the other day, 1841 01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 9: were out there of practice and he missed a short 1842 01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 9: one during practice, like, you know, is that going to 1843 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:31,400 Speaker 9: be showing up at all in game settings? 1844 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:32,479 Speaker 6: So I would go there. 1845 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 9: And then for Miami, their kicker is actually hurt Jason 1846 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,720 Speaker 9: Sanders is a pretty accomplished kicker. They will use a 1847 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,799 Speaker 9: guy they named a Riley Patterson who did the Kicker 1848 01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:46,000 Speaker 9: Tour last year, kicked for three different teams. I want 1849 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 9: to say he was four of seven, so not great 1850 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,240 Speaker 9: in those appearances. So I think anytime you play an 1851 01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 9: NFL game, period, especially one with you know, you go 1852 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,400 Speaker 9: off the Vegas line, it's one and a half point spread, 1853 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:03,400 Speaker 9: kicking Matt kicking matters in close games especially, So I 1854 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,600 Speaker 9: do know if such on it here there, but I 1855 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 9: would probably go there. 1856 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:10,400 Speaker 1: Okay, what about the opposite of that, which would be 1857 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:13,320 Speaker 1: an area that we have given a lot of credit 1858 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 1: or there has been a lot of public credit given 1859 01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:19,880 Speaker 1: to the Colts for improving or seemingly have it be better, 1860 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,559 Speaker 1: and you're not sold on it, and thus are like, yeah, 1861 01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, we got to show me the proof 1862 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:26,599 Speaker 1: of the pudding. 1863 01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'd probably point to Cornerback. I mean 1864 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,479 Speaker 9: they have I would say, invested into that group really 1865 01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,080 Speaker 9: like no other in the Chris Howard era. I cannot 1866 01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:43,080 Speaker 9: recall a time they have invested this much into a 1867 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,280 Speaker 9: position group. And it's not like they have just gotten 1868 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:47,920 Speaker 9: rid of everybody from last year. They still have you know, 1869 01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:50,320 Speaker 9: Kenny Moore, Jalen Jones, they still have some of those 1870 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 9: guys from last. 1871 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:53,639 Speaker 6: Year hanging around. 1872 01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:58,479 Speaker 9: The question would become, you know, the investments, there are 1873 01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 9: some questions Shaver's lord. You know, you could probably chalk 1874 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 9: it up to a lot of off the field stuff 1875 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,320 Speaker 9: for him, some tragic, frankly off the field stuff with 1876 01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,880 Speaker 9: him last year and impacted his game. But he is 1877 01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 9: a twenty nine year old cornerback. You're hoping he gets 1878 01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:13,080 Speaker 9: back to the level we saw in twenty twenty three 1879 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:15,920 Speaker 9: in prior years like that, you know Xavi and Howard 1880 01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:17,720 Speaker 9: to get in former All Pro but didn't play in 1881 01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:18,760 Speaker 9: the NFL last year. 1882 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:19,920 Speaker 6: So how do you look at that? Do you say 1883 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 6: he's got fresh legs or. 1884 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,479 Speaker 9: Do you say he's a thirty two year old corner 1885 01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 9: And Stefan Gilmore is the exception not the rule, So 1886 01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 9: that that would probably. 1887 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 6: Be the position group that you point to. 1888 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,800 Speaker 9: And again I think you applaud Chris Ballard in one 1889 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,599 Speaker 9: way and that, Hey, you know, the Colts have made 1890 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 9: some really serious investments into trying to change or add 1891 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:46,040 Speaker 9: to that position group for Loui an Arumo. But you know, 1892 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,719 Speaker 9: obviously the question is are they the right answers. 1893 01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:52,519 Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen is our guest. Do you hear him in 1894 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,280 Speaker 1: the mornings of course, on the Fan Morning Show along 1895 01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:57,320 Speaker 1: with James Boyd and jeff Rickord. He's on the always busy, 1896 01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:02,280 Speaker 1: especially today, always busy and available to be sponsored guest line? Kevin, 1897 01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:08,080 Speaker 1: how discouraged were you buy the Notre Dame loss to Miami? 1898 01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:09,720 Speaker 1: I have my thoughts on it, but I'll let you 1899 01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:10,280 Speaker 1: go first. 1900 01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:16,160 Speaker 9: Well, I was scouraged because I'm because I'm a fan, 1901 01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:20,840 Speaker 9: I guess, so I probably overreact either way. On next 1902 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:23,720 Speaker 9: to it, I don't know that there's two glasses in 1903 01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,719 Speaker 9: front of me, like once is the glass half full 1904 01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:27,280 Speaker 9: of Hey, did you watch the quarterback? 1905 01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:28,400 Speaker 6: Wow Poise? 1906 01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:30,479 Speaker 9: And you know I thought, he you know, delivered a 1907 01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 9: couple of important passes and you know, really did a 1908 01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:35,640 Speaker 9: nice job in his first career start. And it's quarterback 1909 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:38,040 Speaker 9: and he's only a red shirt freshman, so you know, 1910 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,800 Speaker 9: theoretically you have him for another couple of years so, 1911 01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:43,519 Speaker 9: and again Notre Dame lost a three point game on 1912 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,360 Speaker 9: the road to a top ten team, so you know, 1913 01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,439 Speaker 9: I probably shouldn't overreact. The other part of me that 1914 01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:51,240 Speaker 9: is a little worrisome is really the O line and 1915 01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,000 Speaker 9: D line, and for Notre Dame, like you probably aren't 1916 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,240 Speaker 9: going to be a top ten team, and the skill 1917 01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,680 Speaker 9: groups or on the perimeter, but like O line and 1918 01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 9: D line, you have to be at Notre Dame, and 1919 01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 9: I just I don't know. I do think got pushed 1920 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,000 Speaker 9: around a little bit. They're probably more O line than 1921 01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 9: anything in that matchup. So that's where I do have 1922 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,240 Speaker 9: a little bit of nervous energy. 1923 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:15,760 Speaker 6: And yes, you know, the. 1924 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,679 Speaker 9: Playoff allows for a slip up, but it just shrinks 1925 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,120 Speaker 9: your margin for air. And with the first time starting quarterback, 1926 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,280 Speaker 9: you know, expecting him to be flawless over twelve game 1927 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:28,360 Speaker 9: season is probably not the expectation for you there. 1928 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:29,240 Speaker 6: So I don't know. 1929 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:31,400 Speaker 9: I'm probably staring at two glasses and I should just 1930 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:35,360 Speaker 9: get over it and worry about, you know, more important 1931 01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:35,960 Speaker 9: things in life. 1932 01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:36,800 Speaker 6: But I'm a fan. 1933 01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:39,240 Speaker 1: Kevin. Do you know or have you met? I think 1934 01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,360 Speaker 1: you have, I think you and I've had him on 1935 01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,760 Speaker 1: the morning show together, and I'll say our buddy because 1936 01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:46,400 Speaker 1: he's been on the lot of the shows a lot. 1937 01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,520 Speaker 1: Do you recall JP Shadwick with the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1938 01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,240 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, play by play voice, Yeah yeah. 1939 01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,639 Speaker 1: And he's you know, he's on their website, et cetera. 1940 01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:59,599 Speaker 1: So he he is actually part of I was driving 1941 01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 1: back from Nashville with Nick Yeoman after the IndyCar Race 1942 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,840 Speaker 1: and we were listening to the Notre Dame Miami game 1943 01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:06,719 Speaker 1: and he was the one doing the play by play 1944 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:11,799 Speaker 1: for it on the radio, and he made this point 1945 01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 1: which I thought was a really interesting point, and I 1946 01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,479 Speaker 1: thought it actually voted well for Notre Dame. And he 1947 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 1: pointed out simply that that game on that particular night 1948 01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: was an extremely humid and hot night in Miami, as 1949 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,639 Speaker 1: most of them are, but that as the game went 1950 01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:31,200 Speaker 1: on in the trenches, Miami had the advantage because their 1951 01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,920 Speaker 1: players had been basically practicing in that and used to 1952 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,640 Speaker 1: those elements and Notre Dame was not, and the fatigue 1953 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: factor that naturally comes with that was the difference, and 1954 01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:45,960 Speaker 1: that literally was what allowed that inner trench domination late 1955 01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:48,360 Speaker 1: by Miami or control, I guess I should say late 1956 01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:51,000 Speaker 1: by Miami, and I thought that actually was a really 1957 01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:54,080 Speaker 1: interesting point. Do you think that's giving Notre Dame too 1958 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:54,679 Speaker 1: much credit? 1959 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:58,800 Speaker 9: No, I think that's a fine point. I mean, like, 1960 01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,759 Speaker 9: if you just want to live in a the loss 1961 01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:04,519 Speaker 9: itself again, it's a three point road loss in you know, 1962 01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,120 Speaker 9: kind of why I shouldn't say wild, but just you know, 1963 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,640 Speaker 9: different weather you don't typically have against the top ten team. Like, 1964 01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,479 Speaker 9: I don't think it's it's probably stupid of me to. 1965 01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,879 Speaker 6: Overreact to that. I think I don't know. I'm probably 1966 01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 6: living in a. 1967 01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 9: Bit of a world jake of like, how does Notre 1968 01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,720 Speaker 9: Dame win a national title? Which credit honestly credit to 1969 01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,360 Speaker 9: Brian Kelly first for getting Notre Dame back on solid footing, 1970 01:43:25,479 --> 01:43:28,160 Speaker 9: and credit Marcus Freeman for like creating that good name. 1971 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,720 Speaker 9: It really hasn't been for quite a while. So that 1972 01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,760 Speaker 9: question for me revolves around, all right, you need to 1973 01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:36,759 Speaker 9: get home field and get to buy in the playoffs, 1974 01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:38,160 Speaker 9: so you've got to be a top four team. And 1975 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:42,000 Speaker 9: that's where I think Sunday's loss things for me. It's like, man, 1976 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 9: you know, if if you run the table, I think, 1977 01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:46,760 Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe you can't get back up in 1978 01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,479 Speaker 9: the top four. But you know last year, the Northern 1979 01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:50,440 Speaker 9: Illinois loss, albeit different. 1980 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,639 Speaker 6: Than the Miami loss. You know, Notre Dame got I 1981 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:55,599 Speaker 6: think the last home playoff spot. 1982 01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:57,240 Speaker 9: Maybe it was the second to last. I think Ohio 1983 01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:58,720 Speaker 9: State might have been the eight seed. Notre Dame is 1984 01:43:58,720 --> 01:43:59,680 Speaker 9: the seventh seed, so. 1985 01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:01,200 Speaker 6: They want a home game, but they had to win 1986 01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:01,920 Speaker 6: four in a row. 1987 01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:05,760 Speaker 9: And I think as you saw the playoffs evolve, you know, 1988 01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 9: they're Area. Their best defensive player, you know, gets hurt 1989 01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:10,519 Speaker 9: in the IU game. You know, Karamia Love gets hurt 1990 01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,240 Speaker 9: against USC in the final game, kind of re reaggravates 1991 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:16,759 Speaker 9: it during the playoff run, like you just need. 1992 01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:17,880 Speaker 6: A lot of things to go your way. 1993 01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,000 Speaker 9: And for me, I view it as he you need 1994 01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,560 Speaker 9: to get three home games, or I should say you 1995 01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:24,960 Speaker 9: need to be in the three game realm of the playoffs, 1996 01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:25,920 Speaker 9: having the first game. 1997 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:27,920 Speaker 6: At home to try and create that run. 1998 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:32,080 Speaker 9: Whereas the loss of Miami plus probably another loss at 1999 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,840 Speaker 9: some point in the year. Yeah, no, nor Name can 2000 01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,000 Speaker 9: still make the playoffs. But you know, are you the 2001 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 9: eleven seed where now you're going to whatever the equivalent 2002 01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 9: to Ohio State last year in round one, you're you're 2003 01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:45,280 Speaker 9: Tennessee or you know, something like that, or you're the 2004 01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,400 Speaker 9: Penn State opponent going to Happy Valley. I just think 2005 01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:51,720 Speaker 9: that creates more of a daunting, you know, run to 2006 01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 9: trying to get back to the national title game and 2007 01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:55,559 Speaker 9: obviously trying. 2008 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:55,640 Speaker 6: To win it. 2009 01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,679 Speaker 1: At some point, is your son still picking games? 2010 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,599 Speaker 6: He is? Yes, posted it last night. Yes, he has 2011 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 6: made his pick. 2012 01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:05,679 Speaker 1: And he is how old now? 2013 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:08,960 Speaker 6: He will be three on two today. 2014 01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 1: So at what point do we enter into the realm 2015 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,360 Speaker 1: where he's no longer picking games based on helmet picks 2016 01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,720 Speaker 1: but because he's crunching numbers. 2017 01:45:18,320 --> 01:45:21,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question. He definitely is not there yet. 2018 01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,040 Speaker 9: I don't think we'll be sending him to the Ivy 2019 01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:24,280 Speaker 9: League or anything like that. 2020 01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:25,439 Speaker 3: Now. 2021 01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:28,240 Speaker 9: He certainly recognizes the Colts, And I think you and 2022 01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:30,800 Speaker 9: I might have this conversation a month ago or so, 2023 01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:33,720 Speaker 9: you know, I kind of said to my wife, you know, 2024 01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:35,760 Speaker 9: somebody tweeted at me like a month ago, hey, are 2025 01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:37,599 Speaker 9: we going to get the max bow and helmet picks? 2026 01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:39,800 Speaker 9: And I thought, boy, is he getting to the age 2027 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:41,040 Speaker 9: where like he just knows. 2028 01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,639 Speaker 6: The cults, right, he sees the apparel. 2029 01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:46,240 Speaker 9: He's got an Andrew Lock jersey, like, you know, he 2030 01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:50,080 Speaker 9: just kind of knows that logo. But then I thought 2031 01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:52,360 Speaker 9: to myself, if there's any team out of the other 2032 01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:54,760 Speaker 9: thirty I guess or thirty one I should say in 2033 01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,880 Speaker 9: the NFL that he would pick, it's the Dolphins. I mean, 2034 01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:01,360 Speaker 9: it's the dolphin on helmet. It's you know, a bit 2035 01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,240 Speaker 9: of a vibrant green and orange. I mean, if he's 2036 01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,519 Speaker 9: not going to pick the Dolphins, then you know, you 2037 01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,120 Speaker 9: might as well not even do the pick them. So yeah, 2038 01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:13,280 Speaker 9: spoil alert after the meltdown. That'll probably create honestly birth 2039 01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:15,760 Speaker 9: control for some people watching the first twenty seconds. 2040 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:19,400 Speaker 6: Of the video, he does indeed go. 2041 01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,640 Speaker 9: With Miami Dolphins. So dolphin on the side of the 2042 01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:24,800 Speaker 9: helmet won out and career record of twenty and fourteen. 2043 01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:26,800 Speaker 9: If I could brag on the young kids. 2044 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,360 Speaker 2: Kevin, I think, by the way, I think Matty Bowen 2045 01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:33,080 Speaker 2: contributes to this pick of the Dolphins, by the way, 2046 01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,120 Speaker 2: because he didn't have anything to do with the pick. 2047 01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,000 Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, she goes, hey, you 2048 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:39,599 Speaker 2: know what animal this is? And then he gets all 2049 01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 2: giddy for a dolphin. He goes, okay, yeah, can I 2050 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:42,200 Speaker 2: do this? 2051 01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 6: Well, I will alert. 2052 01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,720 Speaker 9: Her that you are blaming her for the for the 2053 01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:51,639 Speaker 9: dolphin pick there, not blaming her for the meltdown though, 2054 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:57,120 Speaker 9: well good luck with that one as well. Yeah, I 2055 01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,040 Speaker 9: don't think we can blame anybody outside of him just 2056 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:00,519 Speaker 9: being a year old. 2057 01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:01,400 Speaker 6: About to turn three. 2058 01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 9: So, you know, next week the broncos a little menacing 2059 01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 9: on the side of the helmet, you know, will it 2060 01:47:06,040 --> 01:47:11,000 Speaker 9: have the same you know, visceral reaction. I maybe, but 2061 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:13,680 Speaker 9: I can't doubt it. And op to the Titans, I 2062 01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,920 Speaker 9: mean no way. I mean he's taking the Colts one 2063 01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:16,880 Speaker 9: thousand percent there. 2064 01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:19,360 Speaker 6: So we'll see how the animals evolve. 2065 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:21,639 Speaker 9: Throughout the season because he used to kind of side 2066 01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:24,240 Speaker 9: with the you know, zoology world when it comes down 2067 01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 9: to that. 2068 01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:31,160 Speaker 1: Do we have the dolphins sound effect? Eddie? Here we go? 2069 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,800 Speaker 1: Are you getting PTSD from the Morning Show with Dyketon 2070 01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:35,560 Speaker 1: when he derailed me with sound effects? 2071 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:39,000 Speaker 6: By the way, Mark Dyton, So Jake Iu is playing 2072 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,799 Speaker 6: kennesof State tomorrow.

You're gonna folks are gonna hear me say 2244 01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,920 Speaker 1: this probably every Friday. And I totally understand that eventually 2245 01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:11,320 Speaker 1: it maybe it feels to you like a broken record. 2246 01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:17,800 Speaker 1: It feels to me like saying it sometimes. But all 2247 01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:21,240 Speaker 1: of us, I think at times, you know, you ask yourself. 2248 01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:24,760 Speaker 1: It's like Forrest Gump. I think, didn't he ask his mom? 2249 01:55:24,840 --> 01:55:27,640 Speaker 1: He says, you know, what's my my purpose? 2250 01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:27,880 Speaker 6: Mom? 2251 01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:28,800 Speaker 1: Or what's my fate? 2252 01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:28,960 Speaker 6: You know? 2253 01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:30,440 Speaker 1: And she says, You're gonna to figure that out on 2254 01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:35,400 Speaker 1: your own. I'm a guy that talks sports for three 2255 01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:37,400 Speaker 1: hours a day, and I know that I'm fortunate to 2256 01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:39,520 Speaker 1: do that. I don't know really that I have any 2257 01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:42,560 Speaker 1: skill set, So I don't know what else I could 2258 01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:45,720 Speaker 1: do for a living. But one of the things that 2259 01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:48,520 Speaker 1: I learned and just figured out, and maybe it was 2260 01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:54,440 Speaker 1: the message that was delivered to me, but when I walked, 2261 01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:56,920 Speaker 1: I will never forget. I mean partially because I have 2262 01:55:56,920 --> 01:56:00,040 Speaker 1: it on video because Shannon videotape that. But when I 2263 01:56:00,040 --> 01:56:02,839 Speaker 1: I walked out of the hospital in October of twenty 2264 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:08,440 Speaker 1: twenty and knew, you know, just kind of how delicately 2265 01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,640 Speaker 1: on the brink things were for me in terms of 2266 01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:14,480 Speaker 1: my heart. One of the things I knew was if 2267 01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm simply by luck in a position where people might 2268 01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:20,760 Speaker 1: be able to hear me talk, then I need to 2269 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:23,960 Speaker 1: make sure that others are not in this situation. And 2270 01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:27,480 Speaker 1: so I am extremely grateful to this radio station in 2271 01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:31,040 Speaker 1: Franciscan Health for giving me that opportunity. And what I'm 2272 01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:34,400 Speaker 1: talking about is preparedness, and that simply in terms of 2273 01:56:34,440 --> 01:56:36,760 Speaker 1: your heart health. For example, getting a heart scan for 2274 01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:40,480 Speaker 1: just forty nine dollars from Franciscan Health. Forty nine dollars 2275 01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:42,520 Speaker 1: heart scan. Somebody just sent me a message this week. 2276 01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:44,000 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Jake, you were right. I 2277 01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:47,120 Speaker 1: was shocked how easy that was to do and the 2278 01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:50,280 Speaker 1: relief of knowing that my score was a zero the 2279 01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:52,920 Speaker 1: person that related to me, which is fabulous. A heart 2280 01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:55,600 Speaker 1: scan which can tell and read just like say, the 2281 01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:58,600 Speaker 1: plaque build up within your heart and give you a 2282 01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:02,040 Speaker 1: heart health risk assessment score. So once you go through 2283 01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:05,280 Speaker 1: that process, then you get, you know, an idea, a 2284 01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 1: roadmap of where things stand for you and the things 2285 01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,520 Speaker 1: that you might need to start doing to be preventive 2286 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:12,600 Speaker 1: about your health, especially if you are over the age 2287 01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:16,920 Speaker 1: of forty and have had or battled with obesity or 2288 01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:21,240 Speaker 1: family heart disease history, which is what I had, you know, 2289 01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:23,640 Speaker 1: the genetics of it, if you're a former or current smoker, 2290 01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:25,640 Speaker 1: all of those things, or simply if you want to 2291 01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:29,160 Speaker 1: be preventative, then Franciscan Health has the forty nine dollars 2292 01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:31,760 Speaker 1: you can pay out of pocket affordable heart scan, non invasive, 2293 01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,760 Speaker 1: takes about fifteen minutes, and it is oh so simple. 2294 01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:38,280 Speaker 1: Eight three three two three eight zero six eight eight 2295 01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:41,120 Speaker 1: is the telephone number that's eight three three two three 2296 01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:45,600 Speaker 1: eight zero six eight eight or Franciscanhealth dot org slash 2297 01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:51,280 Speaker 1: screening bundles. Our story today is one that, truthfully, when 2298 01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:53,640 Speaker 1: I say a feel good story, it's not always a 2299 01:57:53,680 --> 01:57:56,320 Speaker 1: feel good when you're talking about people that are dealing 2300 01:57:56,360 --> 01:58:01,879 Speaker 1: with terminal illness, and you know that can be certainly 2301 01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:05,880 Speaker 1: a downer. But when I talked about the fact that 2302 01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:10,520 Speaker 1: sometimes life is about preparedness or being aware and living 2303 01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:15,760 Speaker 1: every second, sometimes that comes even when you are facing 2304 01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:21,000 Speaker 1: the hardest challenges. That's the case for Doug Smith. Doug 2305 01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:24,280 Speaker 1: Smith who is battling a terminal illness and is in 2306 01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:27,640 Speaker 1: hospice care at an organization called Morning Light Home over 2307 01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:33,160 Speaker 1: on the Northeast Side. And one of the things that 2308 01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:35,200 Speaker 1: the hospice care does is they want to make sure 2309 01:58:35,240 --> 01:58:39,080 Speaker 1: that they are again preparedness here right, that they are 2310 01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,200 Speaker 1: preparing for folks that are going through a difficult time 2311 01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:45,160 Speaker 1: to making sure that each and every item that they 2312 01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:50,200 Speaker 1: have wanted to accomplish or do is checked off while 2313 01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:54,080 Speaker 1: they can still do so. And Doug is one of 2314 01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:56,160 Speaker 1: those guys. I don't know Doug, but certainly in reading 2315 01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:59,440 Speaker 1: about him and learning about him, Doug is one of 2316 01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:02,160 Speaker 1: those guys that just said, you know what, like I 2317 01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:05,440 Speaker 1: want to also be prepared and live every second. And 2318 01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:09,200 Speaker 1: part of living every second was being able to seize 2319 01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:14,960 Speaker 1: moments and experienced things that he'd always dreamed of and 2320 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:19,080 Speaker 1: thought would be cool and feeling that rush. And I 2321 01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:22,200 Speaker 1: love this too because we all know Doug Bowles. Everybody 2322 01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:25,839 Speaker 1: knows Doug Bulls, president at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, president 2323 01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:29,880 Speaker 1: of the NTT IndyCar Series, and Doug did not know 2324 01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:32,560 Speaker 1: Doug Smith, but they shared more in common than just 2325 01:59:32,600 --> 01:59:35,120 Speaker 1: the first name. They share in common. Anybody that knows 2326 01:59:35,120 --> 01:59:39,839 Speaker 1: Doug Bulls knows this the ability to seize and grab moments. 2327 01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:47,080 Speaker 1: And so Doug Smith, in his terminal illness, simply held 2328 01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:49,920 Speaker 1: up a sign on social media that said, live life 2329 01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:54,640 Speaker 1: as if it's your last lap. And Doug Bowles certainly 2330 01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:56,720 Speaker 1: knows the importance of a last lap. At the Indianapolis 2331 01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,800 Speaker 1: Motor Speedway, you know, j R. Hildebrand was about to 2332 02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:04,320 Speaker 1: win the Indy five hundred last lap right and denies 2333 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:09,280 Speaker 1: victory and Joseph Nugarten last lap makes a past pot 2334 02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,000 Speaker 1: of award. Last lap is pretty important in the Indy 2335 02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:14,440 Speaker 1: five hundred. It's important in life too, because you want 2336 02:00:14,440 --> 02:00:16,880 Speaker 1: to make sure. In JR. Hildebrand, that's maybe a bad 2337 02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:20,160 Speaker 1: example because he's a super good dude, but looks at 2338 02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:23,000 Speaker 1: it and knows the importance of in that moment. You know, 2339 02:00:23,040 --> 02:00:24,720 Speaker 1: he put himself in a position to come back and 2340 02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:28,800 Speaker 1: run more races. But Doug wanted to live life as 2341 02:00:28,920 --> 02:00:31,000 Speaker 1: if it was his last lap. And Doug Bulls saw 2342 02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,360 Speaker 1: it and heard about it and said, what is it 2343 02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:37,200 Speaker 1: that we want to do and Doug Smith let him know, 2344 02:00:37,280 --> 02:00:39,880 Speaker 1: I have a love of racing. I have a love 2345 02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:43,800 Speaker 1: of racing. And Doug is a widower, and so too 2346 02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:46,680 Speaker 1: did his late wife have a love of racing. So 2347 02:00:46,840 --> 02:00:49,240 Speaker 1: what he wanted to do while he was still from 2348 02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:51,480 Speaker 1: a health standpoint able to do so with his terminal 2349 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:55,879 Speaker 1: illness was simply take a lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 2350 02:00:56,720 --> 02:01:00,080 Speaker 1: So Doug Bulls found out about it, Doug Bulls arranged it, 2351 02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:04,120 Speaker 1: and Doug Smith, with Doug Bulls driving, did a lap 2352 02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:06,480 Speaker 1: in excess of one hundred miles an hour around the 2353 02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and then got out and got down 2354 02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:15,000 Speaker 1: and kissed the bricks because in that moment, Doug Smith 2355 02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:18,960 Speaker 1: realized that it wasn't necessarily about at all times like 2356 02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:22,160 Speaker 1: where you're necessarily going, but rather taking advantage of where 2357 02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:25,800 Speaker 1: you are and squeezing that in. And my motto has 2358 02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:28,600 Speaker 1: always been squeezed the juice out of life. And I 2359 02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,200 Speaker 1: can appreciate respect and send a tip of the cap. 2360 02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:33,520 Speaker 1: Not only do Doug Smith for having that zest, for 2361 02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:38,160 Speaker 1: being able to still pursue and do those things and 2362 02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,280 Speaker 1: live in the moment, but also Doug Bulls for facilitating it, 2363 02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:44,840 Speaker 1: and you never know. And in Doug Bowles case, I 2364 02:01:44,840 --> 02:01:47,440 Speaker 1: think Doug knows this because I've been around him and 2365 02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:51,280 Speaker 1: I've seen it firsthand. The ability to make a difference 2366 02:01:51,440 --> 02:01:53,760 Speaker 1: on even a little thing that maybe you take twenty 2367 02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:56,520 Speaker 1: thirty minutes out of your day, but that twenty or 2368 02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:58,360 Speaker 1: thirty minutes that you take out of your day might 2369 02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:00,400 Speaker 1: be something that somebody else has thought about for twenty 2370 02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:03,000 Speaker 1: or thirty years and never knew that they would get 2371 02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:07,320 Speaker 1: that chance. And you just never know the impact that 2372 02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:10,520 Speaker 1: you might have. You never know the impact you might have. 2373 02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,720 Speaker 1: And in every single day when it's just about taking 2374 02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:18,400 Speaker 1: advantage of every single second, finding the right way to 2375 02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:22,480 Speaker 1: do it and sharing that and helping others in their 2376 02:02:22,560 --> 02:02:25,200 Speaker 1: moment of preparedness and their moment of squeezing it in 2377 02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:30,000 Speaker 1: is important. And I commend both thugs, one for fulfilling 2378 02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:34,360 Speaker 1: someone's dream and the other for having the zest to 2379 02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:38,760 Speaker 1: pursue theirs. So kudos to both again. Franciscan Health forty 2380 02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:42,280 Speaker 1: nine dollars Affordable Heart Scan eight three three two three 2381 02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:45,200 Speaker 1: eight zero six eight eight is the telephone number that's 2382 02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:48,400 Speaker 1: eight three to three two three eight zero six eight eight. 2383 02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:51,720 Speaker 1: The telephone number. I love something that happened on the 2384 02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:55,120 Speaker 1: show today that was unexpected. Serendipity one of my favorite words, 2385 02:02:55,520 --> 02:02:58,720 Speaker 1: and we had a serendipitous moment on this program earlier today, 2386 02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and I will explain what that was next. So I 2387 02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:10,480 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier my favorite word serendipity. Now, Eddie, I'm going 2388 02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:14,080 Speaker 1: to put you on the spot, and I think I 2389 02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:16,320 Speaker 1: would not expect you and I would not expect anybody 2390 02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:19,840 Speaker 1: to know this, so I'm not saying it too. Do 2391 02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:22,120 Speaker 1: you know for the most part or do you have 2392 02:03:22,160 --> 02:03:25,560 Speaker 1: a grasp of the definition of the word serendipity. 2393 02:03:26,680 --> 02:03:29,640 Speaker 2: Isn't it something that like good fotune happening or something 2394 02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:34,800 Speaker 2: like that, very yes to it, like just like like 2395 02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:37,520 Speaker 2: good fortune happening like at a random time or something 2396 02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:38,280 Speaker 2: kind of. 2397 02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Basically, by definition, it is the principle or practice of 2398 02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:49,680 Speaker 1: finding something while looking for something else. So a positive 2399 02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:52,960 Speaker 1: thing happening while in pursuit of something different. For example, 2400 02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:58,160 Speaker 1: you long ago thought that you had lost your favorite ring, 2401 02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:02,040 Speaker 1: and then you're looking for your car keys two years later, 2402 02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,800 Speaker 1: and you look underneath a cushion and there is the ring, 2403 02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:08,959 Speaker 1: and you found it by way of serendipity. So that's 2404 02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:14,360 Speaker 1: essentially what it is. So a serendipitous moment happened on 2405 02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:19,680 Speaker 1: this program because and Eddie gets the credit for it. 2406 02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:24,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Edwards, who was the only undrafted free agent in 2407 02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:27,200 Speaker 1: this year's class to make the Colts fifty three man 2408 02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:32,240 Speaker 1: roster at the time that they announced their roster, is 2409 02:04:32,280 --> 02:04:34,440 Speaker 1: a guy that Eddie had noticed, like, oh, look, you 2410 02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:36,880 Speaker 1: know he played the majority of his career at Indiana State. 2411 02:04:36,960 --> 02:04:39,160 Speaker 1: He began at Indiana State and then he went to Tulane, 2412 02:04:40,040 --> 02:04:45,160 Speaker 1: and so Eddie said, let's get him on just to 2413 02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:47,640 Speaker 1: talk kind of about the fact that he's from Indiana State. 2414 02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:52,840 Speaker 1: And so we did it with the intention of just 2415 02:04:52,920 --> 02:04:55,000 Speaker 1: having on a guy to talk about Indiana State and 2416 02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:56,880 Speaker 1: the fact that that was part of his journey into 2417 02:04:56,920 --> 02:05:00,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. And by serendipity, what we he found, or 2418 02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:03,080 Speaker 1: at least what I discovered, because I didn't know it 2419 02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:11,880 Speaker 1: was just a remarkably fun conversation with a guy who 2420 02:05:13,200 --> 02:05:17,240 Speaker 1: told his journey all the way through of overcoming from 2421 02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:21,040 Speaker 1: a young age being a high school player that was 2422 02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:24,440 Speaker 1: not a big time recruit and went to Indiana State 2423 02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:27,160 Speaker 1: and then once at Indiana State bonded with Kurt Mallory 2424 02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:29,920 Speaker 1: and appreciated it, but knew that he could test himself 2425 02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:33,560 Speaker 1: even further and went to Tulane and then kind of 2426 02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:37,840 Speaker 1: was overlooked there in the post college career process and 2427 02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:42,680 Speaker 1: all of that fueling him into becoming an NFL player. 2428 02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:46,000 Speaker 1: And had he gone right away out of high school 2429 02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:49,600 Speaker 1: in Saint Louis and just you know, done, the four 2430 02:05:49,680 --> 02:05:53,280 Speaker 1: star recruit, number eighty recruit in the country signs with 2431 02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Missouri or signs with Illinois, I don't know that he's 2432 02:05:55,760 --> 02:05:59,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So while going to learn more just 2433 02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:03,320 Speaker 1: about Indiana State football, by way of serendipity, we learned 2434 02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:07,280 Speaker 1: more about Jonathan Edwards and that was a win because 2435 02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:11,320 Speaker 1: he was a really good conversation and I thought was 2436 02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:18,160 Speaker 1: super cool.
