1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: You're listening to the best of the Fan morning show

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Oh Fridays in this area, at least in my mind,

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: belonged to high school football this time of year. And

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: that's why we have Operation Football in tandem with our

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: good friends over at Channel thirteen. Dominic Miranda joins us

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: every Friday morning at seven thirty. The only question is,

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: as we talked to him on the Payless Liquors hotline,

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: is where in the world is Dominic Miranda today? Good morning,

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: dom Where have you taken it this morning?

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: Forty minutes away from downtown Indianapolis.

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 4: Good morning, gentlemen, A pleasure as always.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: Cascade High School, the home of the Cadets, the second

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: ranked in Class three A depending on the rankings you

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: look at Cascade Cadets undefeated and won a show out

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: this morning. Three hundred plus students, unbelievable, all sorts of fun.

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 4: It feels like fall. There was a dense fog in

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: the air.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, something ominous going on west of Indianapolis.

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: Is pretty great though, and what a time we were

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: at Cascade High School.

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 4: Great hosts. It gets better and better each week.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 5: It truly does so, Dominic.

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 6: I'm looking at Cascades schedule so far. Obviously, like you said,

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 6: five and zero unblemished. They scored seventy seven points in

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 6: a football game last week, not basketball football. So what

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 6: can you tell you about that offense that Connor Simmons

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 6: is running.

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: Well, what I can tell you is they score, and

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: they score a lot. It doesn't take I mean analysystema right,

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: pretty good there. They're averaging over fifty points a game though,

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: and only giving up twelve. That's super impressive. And they're

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: coming off they have largely the same team as a

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: year ago. They're coming off a ten to one record

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: a year ago, but unable to get it done in sectional.

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: The principal was talking to me today and what's funny

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: is in the voting this week for Operation Football Sundrice Kickoff,

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: it was between them and Garan Katholic and he's like, well,

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: what we wanted to do was kick their butts in

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: the voting and kick their butts in the sectional because

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: they're in the same sectional as well.

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: So a little trash talk there, am I right?

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 7: I know, Matella, you hear that. Garon Katholic Eagles who

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 7: I am that in your locker room.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: I loved it personally, and they get this. There was

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: over five hundred thousand votes on Sunrise Kickoff to get

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: it at Cascade, so they have three hundred thousand. There's

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: five hundred thousand total votes. So I don't know what

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: they're doing. I don't ask how, I ask how many.

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: It's fantastic. I say, keep doing what's doing. But as

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: far as the team goes, yes, like largely the same team,

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: a lot of success a year ago. They have their

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: eyes set on Sectional and you know, I think I

54
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: think I heard Greg. I was talking to Greg Ragshaw

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: at Colts this past week, and they have as good

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: as a chance to make a run at State and

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: Class three as anybody like. I'm excited to see what

58
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: they got going tonight. What I'm told from this morning

59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: is that their home games are a production. So I'm

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: excited to see what they have in store. But as

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 3: good as it's their homecoming tonight, I have a feeling

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna put up even more points and keep that

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: average above fifty because their offense is legit fun to

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: watch over there at Cascade.

65
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 7: Nervous for a second, Don was gonna take us down

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 7: accounting votes pathway. I wasn't expected here on this Friday

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 7: morning Dominic Moranda Live Cascade Operation Football. That is where

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 7: he is at here as we are week six into

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 7: the high school football season. All right, last week, I

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 7: see you doing the CrowdSurf and I had not come

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 7: across the video until the show ended. Dude, we need

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 7: a stunt man for you. Are you good for all

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 7: these things? Friday morning? I'm a little worried about you

74
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 7: and your family.

75
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: I did, I did say my insurance is up to date. Okay,

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: So I took it.

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Into my own hands and whatever the kids are wanting

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: and whatever sets them apart. Like what happened was I

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: usually just kind of go, you know, impulsive kind of

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: stream of Consciousnessna, what's gonna be fun for this particular morning,

81
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: and they were doing a bunch of their own little crowdsurfs.

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: So basically I looked at the.

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: Student leaders there and they were I mean, the energy

84
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: was insane. You think I checked Red bull They were

85
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: chucking some red Bulls last week, and I'm like, look,

86
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: can you guys catch me? And they're like absolutely. I'm like,

87
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: all right, say less.

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 7: We're doing this.

89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: So it was all.

90
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it was awesome and it looks great on TV,

91
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: so hey, that's all.

92
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: That's what makes Operation Football so great. Dominic Miranda, Channel thirteen,

93
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 2: joining us here on the Payloss Liquors hotline as he

94
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: does every Friday morning for Operation Football. All right, rematch

95
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: of the State in six A last year Brownsburg Westfield.

96
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: Is this the week somebody pushes west or pushes Brownsburg.

97
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: Well, they have as good a chance as anybody.

98
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Brownsburg is a buzzsof but I saw some

99
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: cracks there two weeks ago against Avon, a team I

100
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: felt like Brownsburg could handle relatively easily, turned into a

101
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: fifty five forty seven shootout. Now Brownsburg kind of got

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: back on the horse last week, really taking it to Fisher's,

103
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: which I thought, and I remember coming out here and

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: saying Bitscher's had as good as chance as anyone to

105
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: beat Brownsburg. But Brownsburg at home is a different animal.

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: So not entirely shocks that they ran away with it there,

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: but their often if you can somehow stop their offense,

108
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a good chance. I don't know if

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: that's possible, but I do know that Westfield not bad.

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: In that arena only loss early in the year.

111
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: I was at this game to Carmel, and I gotta

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: tell you, with the way things are trending, a Brownsburg

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: Carmel state championship would be an absolutely awesome football game.

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: So keep that in mind just for later down the road.

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: But look, Westfield got him at home, coming off a

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: big win I over HSC. They've won three in a

117
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: row since that loss to Carmel. This has been there.

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: This will definitely be their toughest test since Carmel, and

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: we'll see they can get it done. I think they

120
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: have a solid shot, but I'm hard pressed to find

121
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: anybody who.

122
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: Can give Brownsburg a run for their money.

123
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 7: Dominic Moranda with us here whr again Operation Football on

124
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 7: this Friday morning, A little three A love A great

125
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 7: matchup Indian Creek and Try west Fortunately for Jack Sorgie

126
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 7: throws more like his mother's athletic traits than his athletic traits.

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 7: I'm hoping Jim Sorgie listens to that. And here's that

128
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 7: comment right there. But that's one of the markey games

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 7: of the night there. And of course Jack Sorgie, for

130
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 7: those unfamiliar committed to Louisville to sling it for the

131
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 7: Cardinals here coming up in a few years.

132
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the look of a QB. And I

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: was talking to their head coach, Jason Ward earlier this

134
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: week as we were doing our preview prep, and he

135
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: didn't focus on football until this past summer. He was

136
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: he was a baseball guy, and then it became clear

137
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: that football was his path and he committed to Louisville

138
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: and loves coach brom He was telling me, intense guy.

139
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: You know, Coach Brown, very intense guy.

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: But Jim Sorgie's one of the coaches on staff there

141
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: at Try West as well. And you know, to hear

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Jack Sorgie a junior in high school talk about watching

143
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: film and like his football knowledge like clearly an former

144
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: NFL QB's son, unbelievable, the way he dissects and like

145
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: talks about the importance of film, the importance of dissecting

146
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: defenses and having the resource of his dad. And I'm like, dude,

147
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: when I was a junior in high school, I was

148
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 3: just worried about, like the homecoming dance after.

149
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: Football, Like this is insane, but.

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: Possibly go there exactly. No, But he's he's been throwing

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: it all around the yard too. They're averaging up around

152
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: forty points per game. A couple of weeks back, had

153
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: their first loss of the season, but kind of got

154
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: back on the horse, putting up points, you know, failed

155
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: to score over twenty just that one game and they lost.

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: Like when they're scoring and clicking, they're winning games. Not

157
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: the biggest teams, not the biggest team, but super fast,

158
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: super skilled and jack storage man.

159
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: He puts it on a rope.

160
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: We've had a couple of highlights of tri West on

161
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: our air at eleven o'clock a couple weeks in a

162
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: row now where he's just putting it on a string.

163
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: The Speedway game comes to mind, like he looks above

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: his peers.

165
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: In a big way.

166
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: It's understandable he's a Division one quarterback and it already is.

167
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: But excited for the matchup. I think it'll be fun

168
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: Class three eight ten matchup tonight with Indian Creek.

169
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 6: Dominic Granda from Channel thirteen WHR joining us for Operation

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 6: Football this morning. And the last one I have for

171
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 6: you in the high school front is I know you

172
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 6: have a bunch of other games you all will be

173
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 6: getting around to and So who else do you have

174
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 6: on tap for tonight or would you plug for tonight?

175
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 5: Is some of the Marquie matchups.

176
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we wanted to spread the love down down a

177
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: few classes. We've been sticking to six A and hard

178
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: to blame us. I must say six A football is

179
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: pretty impressive here in our state. But yeah, we got

180
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: try West and Indian Creek. That's our headliner, and then

181
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: Brownsburg and Westfield obviously what a second course there. But

182
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: then we got games like Fishers in Avon that really

183
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: intrigues me. Two teams that have had really nice wins

184
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: this year, but some setbacks as well. Who's gonna win that?

185
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: I think that's a top ten matchup there in six

186
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: A Bishop Shatard and Garon Kathlick. Always fun with those

187
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: two get together. And then one five A playing Field

188
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: ranked third taken on Decatur Central on the road. Nice

189
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: InCom friends matchup there to cater Central's first year in

190
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: six A off to a tough start first two weeks.

191
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: Get this, the cater Central has scored one hundred and

192
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: fifty points the past two weeks combined. They are angry.

193
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: They don't like having lost the first two games. They

194
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: are not accustomed to losing over there at to cater Central,

195
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: so taking it out on some opponents there. Excited for

196
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: that matchup as well. And then of course we'll be

197
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: back to Cascade host in Crawfordsville.

198
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 4: And also one more note.

199
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: On Cascade this morning for the homecoming festivities, Crawfordsville's mascot

200
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: is an Athenian and they had a cage where the

201
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: football team surrounded this cage and there was a guy

202
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: dressed as an Athenian in the cage this morning.

203
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: I'll just leave it at that. What a show, What

204
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: a show.

205
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: Hey, how far are you from being put in a cage?

206
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 2: If for crowdsurfing all the time?

207
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right, yeah, that's my employer would probably tell you.

208
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you every Friday morning. Dom, have

209
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: fun tonight. We'll be watching and just enjoy the my man.

210
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: Hey, let's do it.

211
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Another great weekend of football here. We'll see if Notre

212
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: Dame can stop a nosebleed.

213
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: Nice on the way out right there down the.

214
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 7: Fan and I think he's calling out his own football

215
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 7: team there.

216
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he wanted to get you going a little

217
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: bit too. You want to get your eyes off the

218
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup. Thanks Tom, we'll talk to you soon.

219
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 7: Bryce and stinks what a horrific shot of the third.

220
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 7: All I'm just done with Bryce.

221
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: It's over now.

222
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 5: You sounded like me, flip flopping, unbelievable.

223
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye on the Ryder Cup all morning

224
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: long there and are they on whole three now? Or

225
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: all three? All three? All right? Anybody else on the

226
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: course yet?

227
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 7: That a couple of groups up there. So electricity high

228
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 7: and well on Long Island today with the Ryder Cup underway?

229
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: All right?

230
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: We got the fever tonight taking on the Las Vegas Aces,

231
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: game three of a semi final series in the w

232
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: NBA and James Boyd, Now we worry about Alexi Hole's back.

233
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: She was in a brace yesterday or or at least

234
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: something around the back there not taking a big part

235
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: of practice. Is she going to be available and will

236
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: she just joined the long and growing list of injured

237
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: players for the fever?

238
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 5: Now yeah, I mean we'll have to kind of wait

239
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: and see.

240
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 6: We will hear from the head coach Stephanie White before

241
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 6: the game and we'll see if there's an update there,

242
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 6: and obviously when the game starts we'll be able to

243
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 6: see who's out there on the floor. But right now,

244
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 6: just my own personal opinion, this isn't like reporting, it's

245
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 6: just knowing Lexi Hole, how tough she is, that she's

246
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 6: had a couple of days of rest. I would expect

247
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 6: her to be available tonight.

248
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're probable, aren't you playing? I mean, I don't

249
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 7: know WNBA injured port rules, But in the end I

250
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 7: would think to say, like, took away probable because if

251
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 7: you're probable, you're playing, right, Yeah.

252
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 5: I mean, but at the same time, I think questionable.

253
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 6: I think the pushback there Kevin and this, I agree

254
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 6: with you, but it's just they didn't see her doing

255
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: anything during the media viewing portion of yesterday's practice, so

256
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 6: it's like, Okay, what does that probable mean? Like is

257
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 6: there more to that? But at the same time, it's

258
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 6: Lexi Hole. She's as tough as nails.

259
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: She is definitely tough. And look, it's been a very

260
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 2: physical season in the WNBA. We've heard coaches from every

261
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: quarter talk about that. It's been a very physical series

262
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: with the Las Vegas Aces. Both coaches have complained about

263
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: that as well, and chief amongst that, I mean Lexi Hole.

264
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: In that first two games, especially in Game two, she

265
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: was like a pinball, just being whacked around and put

266
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: on the floor and get back up and hitting screens

267
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: again and all kinds of stuff going on.

268
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I mean, beyond the city rooting for the Fever

269
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 6: to win, I think all of us who want to

270
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 6: see just a more fluid game tonight. Game two was

271
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 6: very stabby, and he had both coaches calling out the

272
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 6: officiating because it was so starting stop with so many

273
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 6: fouls and off ball fouls and bodies hitting the floor.

274
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 6: That was not a good brand of basketball to watch

275
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 6: from a WNBA marketing.

276
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: Standpoint, No, no question about that. And of course airtime

277
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: seven point thirty, tip time, airtime seven to fifteen with

278
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: a fan or a pregame show at Eddie Garrison going

279
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: to be doing all of that. In the meantime, I

280
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: want to get back to the Colts just a little bit.

281
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Are we worried about these guys that haven't practiced in

282
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Thursday? Are they just being really ultra cautious

283
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: and careful with this guys or you know what's going

284
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: to happen. What's your gut feeling on that, James, I mean,

285
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: you just have.

286
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: To be uh, cautious about things. But also, you know,

287
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: I think.

288
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 6: Friday is a pretty big day for someone like Matt Gonzalvez.

289
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 6: Like Kevin pointed out Braden Smith. You know, does he

290
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 6: continue to go backwards on the injury report? Is he

291
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 6: a full participate today? You know, even to Forrest Buckner,

292
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 6: I know that he usually plays through everything. But if

293
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 6: he's limited again today, does that mean he's gonna be

294
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 6: a pitch count on Sunday? Those things like that. So

295
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 6: it is a video of a news year Friday, I

296
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 6: would say, from the injury standpoint.

297
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: And you guys will be out there covering it later

298
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: this afternoon, right absolutely, all right, sounds good, Kevin Bowen.

299
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: When you think about this game with the Rams, is

300
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: a team that hasn't surrendered a touchdown to a running back,

301
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: yet they've been able to put up points. They pushed

302
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champions to the limit. I had

303
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: to basically gave it up on a blocked field goal

304
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: attempt that was returned for a touchdown. No quick. We've

305
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: talked about what a test is going to be for

306
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: the Colts all year long, But if the Colts come

307
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: out on top, the game looks like what.

308
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 7: Well, I think you're following a very similar script to

309
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 7: what you saw the first three weeks, and I'd say

310
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 7: it's probably got to be your best pass rush day

311
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 7: of the season. That, to me is probably the biggest

312
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 7: question mark for the Colts through the first three weeks.

313
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 7: How much can you create legit pass rush?

314
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: You know?

315
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 7: The Forest Buckner spoke to media yesterday and I kind

316
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 7: of found it interesting, and he pretty much said he

317
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 7: feels like he's facing the most double teams he's faced

318
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 7: in quite some time. Part of that is, yes, he

319
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 7: is the Forest Buckner and he's a very good player,

320
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 7: but part of that is I don't think other teams

321
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 7: respect anybody else.

322
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: He was like, there's nobody else to block, and that's.

323
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 7: Very unfortunate, and I think it's limiting Buckner and it's

324
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 7: also just limiting their pass rush as a whole. So

325
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 7: for me, that is a massive storyline for Sunday. You're

326
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 7: banged up in the secondary to go back, you know,

327
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 7: to the level of worry you asked about a few

328
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 7: minutes ago, I'm very worried about Kenny Moore and Alec Pierce.

329
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 7: I mean, anytime you don't crack the first two days

330
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,239
Speaker 7: that's not a good sign. And we'll see about Maganzalvez

331
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 7: and Braden Smith today. But again, can you disrupt the

332
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 7: elite time meet of Matthew Stafford? I think so much

333
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 7: of the game just boils down to that. And you

334
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 7: know Stafford, if you watch that Eagles game last week,

335
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 7: he had a few kind of un Stafford like moments

336
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: and you know, remember he dealt with the back a

337
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 7: little bit in August. Can you just force him into

338
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 7: some stressful situations? And you know, to me, he's a

339
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 7: future Hall of Famer, So that's difficult thing to do.

340
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 7: But that is the first storyline of yes offensively, Jeff,

341
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 7: So much of it I think can look like the

342
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 7: first couple of weeks with the balance, But the other

343
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 7: side of the ball, your pass rush has got to

344
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 7: be as potent as it's been all year long.

345
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: And James, we talked a lot yesterday about the line

346
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: itself is forty nine and a half, which is a

347
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: fairly high line. You'll see some fifties every once in

348
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: a while, so people are expecting a lot of scoring

349
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: here based on what we've been talking about. It kind

350
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: of feels to me as if if the cults are

351
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: going to win this game, They've they've got to put

352
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: a lot of points on the ball.

353
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they've been able to do that.

354
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 6: But I also think, Jeff, how uncomfortable can you make

355
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 6: the Rams? And can you get a couple of breaks

356
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 6: to go your way? Meaning can you get a takeaway?

357
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 6: Can you get you know, a kickoff return that flips

358
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 6: the field for you? Because I do think considering the

359
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 6: red zone issues that this team has had, you want

360
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: to be able to possibly you know, be better in

361
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 6: the red zone, but also you know, have that big

362
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: playability a few times throughout the game. So I am

363
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: curious about this matchup. I'm very intrigued about what this

364
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: could say about this team. If they go on the

365
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: road and win, you know, and knock off the Rams,

366
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 6: I would say convincing fashion. But honestly, if they just

367
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 6: went at all, I think that that is convincing for

368
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 6: this group.

369
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: Well, and obviously in the secondary there's a high likelihood

370
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: that they're going to have someone that was just signed

371
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: or yeah, play significant steps. What do we know about

372
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: that situation?

373
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mike Hilton, we had a chance to talk to

374
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 6: him earlier this week, and I want to say, Kevin,

375
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 6: you might have had a chance to really dive into like, hey,

376
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 6: what kind of leg you here?

377
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 5: You know, Lou YOUU and Lewin do you expect to play?

378
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 6: And it sounded like he was ready to strap it

379
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 6: up and get out there, even though he hasn't played

380
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 6: I believe this season.

381
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: So that will be certainly an acclamation period.

382
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 6: But at the same time, if you do believe that

383
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 6: is your best option, then you gotta roll with that.

384
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's left in Mike Hilton's tank?

385
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 5: You know, we've seen thirty one I believe years old.

386
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: Right, And again, unlike Xaving Howard, he did participate in

387
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: training camp with a team. Now granted that team was

388
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 7: the Dolphins. We saw how their secondary went, and the

389
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 7: Dolphins cut him, So there's just a little bit of

390
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 7: pause of like, Okay, where exactly is he at? You know,

391
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 7: I get that Lui an Arumo has all this history

392
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 7: with him, but still the Exaving Howard experiment I think

393
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 7: has been a little meh so far. And is this

394
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 7: really the first week we see Mooney Ward shadow? That

395
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 7: would be a question I would have, you know, so

396
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 7: much pukin Nakua talk, you know, is there any thought of, hey,

397
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 7: let's have Travarius Wards, shadow Devonte Adams and then kind

398
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 7: of commit more multiple bodies to Hukinakua. I think that

399
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 7: is another storyline that you have. But one thing the

400
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 7: Colts have done just absurdly well offensively this season is

401
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 7: they have thrived in third and manageables. They've gotten themselves

402
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 7: ahead of the chains. I think they're the best team

403
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 7: in the league in averaging like third and four, third

404
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 7: and five, which you can I mean, you can live

405
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 7: with that in a high success rate. Does that continue

406
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 7: because I do think the Rams defense is a little underrated.

407
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 7: I know it's not Donald von Miller Jalen Ramsey from

408
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl, but I do think they're a pretty

409
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 7: solid unit. And you know, calling last week a road

410
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: environment would probably not be a fair statement, So this

411
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 7: one probably a little bit more in the road atmosphere.

412
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I like what you're talking about with with

413
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: manageable third downs because as much as anything this week,

414
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: it keeps that Rams offense off the field for a

415
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: little while longer too, and that's going to be important.

416
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

417
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: I mean there are times when you face probably Tennessee

418
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 7: or Miami and it's like, oh yeah, that's a good thing.

419
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 7: When they're offense on the field. I don't think you

420
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 7: feel that way about the Rams and Kyron Williams. I mean,

421
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 7: so many people play fantasy football. I think they are

422
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 7: fully familiar with him. That's a damn good running back.

423
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 7: I mean, the Rams have got tremendous balance. So I

424
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 7: can't wait again for Sunday. I know I've been preaching

425
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 7: that all week long. Probably sound like a broken record,

426
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 7: but to me, this is one of the more anticipated

427
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 7: September games I can remember for this franchise, and just

428
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 7: a really good test and I think one of the

429
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 7: better games. I know we'll do our entertaining games here

430
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 7: of Week four. I think this is easily one of

431
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 7: the best games of the entire week.

432
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch.

433
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: You triggered me on something when you said sometimes you'd

434
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: rather see like the offense on the field. We didn't

435
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: really talk about it. But how about Mike Tomlin for

436
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: the Steelers this week, when talking about their matchup with

437
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: the Browns and Joe Flacco saying that when they played

438
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: the Colts last year, he instructed his defense to make

439
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: sure you don't take Anthony Richards Richardson out of the

440
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: game because I don't want to see Joe Flacco. What

441
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: did you make of that statement he.

442
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 6: Was he was speaking from the heart because they did

443
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 6: take Anthony Rizon out of the game, I believe after

444
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: that first drive, and then Joe Flaka ended up helping

445
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 6: them get the win. So that was an interesting shot,

446
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 6: I guess at ar mainly because one, we haven't really

447
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 6: talked about Anthony Richson a lot on these airways the

448
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks. And then on top of that,

449
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin usually doesn't say anything like I know that

450
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: he gets a lot of stuff clipped up, and you

451
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 6: would they'll replay it on ESPN or wherever, But for

452
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 6: those who actually cover the team, they always tell me

453
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 6: that he says a bunch of stuff that sounds cool,

454
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 6: but there's no substance there. There was a little bit

455
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 6: of substance there to how he kind of views Anthony Richardson.

456
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: Do you think he was just trying to pump up

457
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco in the lead up to this particular game

458
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: and that kind of just maybe came out a way

459
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: he'd probably wish he could have had back, or do

460
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: you think he really caresus I could be wrong.

461
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 7: But it was not associated with Flacco at all, right,

462
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 7: wasn't it in reference to the Vikings.

463
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: Wins.

464
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 7: You're right, because they played the Vikings in the doublin

465
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 7: the audio, guys McCarthy and Carson Wentz, not Joe Flacco.

466
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 7: I think if you go back to the Colts game

467
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 7: last year, for those that don't recall, it was actually

468
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 7: a Week four game, I believe against the Steelers. Steelers

469
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 7: one defeated. Richardson started the game. I only played about

470
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 7: a quarter so and actually Richardson played pretty well and

471
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 7: then got hurt, and then Flacco came in the game.

472
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 7: The Colts won the game. So yes, yeah, Mark, do

473
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 7: you play it just so we can was in reference

474
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 7: to Carson Wentz.

475
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you are correct. I'm looking at it again.

476
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: So it's in a.

477
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 8: Short term that Carson is playing for him. We were

478
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: in a similar situation a year ago. We're playing in Indianapolis, man,

479
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 8: and I commented to the guys that you know, keep

480
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 8: Richeson upright, don't put Flacco in the game, and you

481
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 8: know Flacco ended up in the game.

482
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: And there you go, exactly. So, yeah, I think both

483
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 5: of you are kind of right.

484
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: No, Kevin was right. I didn't get the right context,

485
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: but I got the right where we're heading with this, Yeah, exactly.

486
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 5: But no, it's interesting.

487
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: You don't hear coaches say that all the time.

488
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 7: And I just thought, that's Marge, Anthony Richardson, Danie Jones

489
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 7: gonna get hurt. Anthony Richardson's gonna come in and go

490
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 7: double bird Mike Todd.

491
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: And that's the script now, isn't it. Yeah, Daniel Jones

492
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: twist and ankle. He'll be fine for the rest of

493
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: the season. But in that particular game, Anthony richards is like, Okay,

494
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: you don't want to see me. Here we go. I'm upright.

495
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 7: That would be something.

496
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: That's how it works. All right, we'll give you an

497
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: update on all things that are happening. Even right now

498
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: as we speak, Kevin is watching two screens, your computer

499
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: and the big screen for Bethpage Black and the writer cup.

500
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got it covered every which way, right.

501
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 7: Go go USA.

502
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: Are we back on the Bryson brain yet? I don't know.

503
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 6: I was gonna say he's getting the boarding pass ripped

504
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 6: up as we speak.

505
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 7: I don't know, Bryson and I it's it's a very

506
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 7: it's a it's a junior high relationship between Bryson and I.

507
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 7: Right now, he's got the cooties right love than third period.

508
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 7: I want to break up with them in six periods.

519
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: I were watching a little bit of the Ryder Cup

520
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: there during the break. We'll talk about that coming up

521
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: in a minute. But man, there's just so much talent

522
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: out there. And when you think of talent, how do

523
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: you not think of our next guest.

524
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 7: Look at that transition. Come on, I mean he would

525
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 7: stopping Scheffler and Roy McElroy had a baby, he'd be

526
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 7: great Rakestraw.

527
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: That's something like that great Ragstraw That that is it right? There?

528
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 5: Is it not the praise uh you have?

529
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: Some of you have seen me play golf, and trust me,

530
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: it is nowhere near a ryder Cup level. I'm actually

531
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: going to be stunned if Kevin contributes much of anything

532
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: for the next two hours of the program is because

533
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: they'll be staring at the television for probably the rest

534
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: of the day.

535
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 7: Well, Rake, we will get to the four or five

536
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: mile war. I forget what they used to call it

537
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 7: back when I was in high school that you were

538
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 7: calling tonight. But are you a Friday Did I hear

539
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 7: this correctly? Are you a every Friday morning tennis guy?

540
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: I am so. Next thing I'll be doing after having

541
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: this conversation is a little nine thirty couple of sets

542
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: with my buddy Neil Smith.

543
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: Nice.

544
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 7: Now, tennis pickleball crowd get along, don't get along? Mix

545
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 7: low key hate each other. How would you describe the

546
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 7: tennis versus pickleball crowd?

547
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: We as tennis originals, put up with the pickleball people

548
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: because they rent court space which keep the tennis clubs open.

549
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: Those that have pickleball lines. Problem with the pickleball lines

550
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: is that it kind of changes sometimes out the ball

551
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: will bounce or spin coming off of it because you're

552
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: adding an extra kind of level of paint. They're on

553
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: a court. The pickleball people tend not to know the

554
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: tennis etiquette rule, so that's a bit of a problem. Generally,

555
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't like them, but I tolerate them.

556
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 8: How's that?

557
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: Okay?

558
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 5: Sounds elitist, noted.

559
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: And you got the PG version of that. The off

560
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: air version is probably gonna be something a little bit different.

561
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: Hey, before we get into the weekend, I just want

562
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: to let you know we're talking about alternate realities. Across

563
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: from me, Mark Dyketon is rooting for the Cubs to lose.

564
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: To the left of me, Kevin Bowen is rooting for

565
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: Bryson d Chambeau, and to the right of me, James

566
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: Boyd is wearing candy stripe pants. Welcome to my studio today.

567
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Everything's a little bit off, it seems in your world today, Jeff,

568
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: and I.

569
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: Just found out that you have no love loss for

570
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: pickleball players.

571
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: They're okay, I guess right.

572
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: Sounds like you are you a pickleball player, Jeff, I've

573
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: played a couple of times.

574
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: I like it.

575
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 5: Oh, you got some some more beef.

576
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: You know me, you like Tennant. I played like Greg,

577
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: though Greg played college tennis, so I played high school tennis.

578
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: By the way, I ran into your son's coach at

579
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: Rebuff the other day, I did not realize that she

580
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: and I were as good as friends as we were.

581
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: I didn't put two and two together as to whom

582
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: she was coached.

583
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: Coach Marcy absolutely, how she's tremendous. She's tremendous. All right,

584
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: enough of our stuff, big weekend college football and also

585
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: high school football. You've got your game tonight. But before

586
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: we get there, thoughts on this run by Kurt Signetti

587
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: Indiana and what they're doing and are they a better

588
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: team now than they were last year?

589
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: We're about to find out, Franklin, the litmus test is

590
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: going to be Oregon. You know, because Indiana last year

591
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: beat everyone kind of south of them in the rankings.

592
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: You know they were going to be a top twelve team,

593
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and their losses were too well, two teams that played

594
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: for the national championship, and so you know this coming

595
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: up tomorrow is the next kind of box to check

596
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: for this season. But how do you do against Oregon?

597
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: Ohio State and State, who were kind of the the

598
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: elite of the league. Now Penn State gets put up

599
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: there because of their ranking and because of their name.

600
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: If you look at actually what their records and other

601
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: top teams, it's not been great and so you know,

602
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: Illinois was clearly a very mosciferous statement for the program.

603
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: But now it's about taking care of business. But Iowa

604
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: i was not a bad team, not a great team.

605
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: It's tough place to play in Iowa City. Then you

606
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: do that and you get a bye, and now you

607
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: get that national stage type of game where you can

608
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: frankly answer that question, are they a better team this

609
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: year than they were a year ago? And they stunned

610
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: everybody by being a college playoff team.

611
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 6: So right to pivot to the high school scene, which

612
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 6: is I feel like your other labor of love. Where

613
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 6: are you tonight and what are some matchups we should

614
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 6: be keeping an eye.

615
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: On all right? North Central and Carval is my game

616
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: this evening, and this this is kind of a backyard

617
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: brawl type of game, even if it has been rather

618
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: one sided over the last twenty years. In fact, since

619
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, only time that North Central has

620
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: won was in twenty nineteen. That's when they got a

621
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: ton of nineteen and twenty were their best teams. Earlier

622
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: this year they haf to thirty two game losing streak

623
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: they have since one again. They're now two and three.

624
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: They've got some really talented young players on offense, primarily

625
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: playing sophomores and juniors. In her first year head coach

626
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 1: Colin Goephert again, Carmel got good again quickly after they

627
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: were down the last couple of years. Now they are

628
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: a legitimate state championship contender at four and one, only

629
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: lost to Trinity out of Louisville a couple of weeks ago.

630
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: This is probably gonna be one sided in favor of Carmel,

631
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: But North Central is a program in which you can

632
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: see development is taking place. And and I think the

633
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: last three games of the season, back against Mick competition,

634
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: north Central finishes with L. C. Pike and Ben Davis.

635
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: I think they can be competitive in all three of

636
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: those games and maybe even get one or two. Probably

637
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna be an uphill for the Panthers tonight.

638
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 7: You know follows here when Greg greg Show was brushing

639
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 7: up on his boys soccer paring show research earlier this week,

640
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 7: when I saw him at the Colts facility Greg gregshow

641
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 7: with us here on the Payless Lockers Hotline. Rake is

642
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 7: mister football, the dude that runs all over everybody up

643
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 7: there at Knox or am I missing other candidates.

644
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: I think his numbers will be so astronomical in the

645
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: fact that he is threatening a record that a lot

646
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: of people thought was untouchable. And Charlie Spiegel, I think

647
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: he's got to be the heavy favorite now. Obviously he

648
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: plays at a three A school and not a five

649
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: A or a six A school, But this is a

650
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: very stat driven award and he's going to have the

651
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: craziest stats of anybody in the state this year.

652
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 7: Miles McLoughlin, Right, that's the.

653
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: Name, correct, Correct.

654
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 6: That's a good name for running back who's running for

655
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 6: that amount of yards miles.

656
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: Right, He runs for Miles McLoughlin every game, absolutely for.

657
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 6: And also to clarify, does he play quarterback running bounds?

658
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: Watch some lights like t BO stuff, Yeah, where it's

659
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 6: like he runs but sure.

660
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard in the opening drive of the national title

661
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 7: last year running power and lead. It's it's honestly very throwbacky.

662
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of very similar role as Jack kieser head

663
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: for Pioneer when he won it seven years ago. So yeah,

664
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: that's pretty much. Hey, get our best player of the ball.

665
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: We'll let me go figure out.

666
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: Hey, I respect it.

667
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Anything else

668
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: we should know about Kevin Say, I'll ask you this.

669
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: Kevin brought this up earlier. Is this the best weekend

670
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: in sports with everything that's going on right now? Or

671
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, we we kind of kind of kind of said.

672
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 7: I said that just to well, just to be clear here.

673
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: But he settled on the Indy five hundred weekend. And

674
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: you do a little bit of everything. What what's your

675
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: favorite weekend? My for the record was I like divisional

676
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: weekend of the NFL playoffs as much as I like

677
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: the Indy five hundred. But where are you at?

678
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: Well, obviously, the best local weekend is Indy five hundred weekend,

679
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: and that historically has been the best day in racing.

680
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Now F one has gone and screwed that up by

681
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: moving Monico off of that date, because you had Monaco

682
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: and then you had the five hundred, and then you

683
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: had the Coca Cola six hundred down in Charlotte, and

684
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: again they're around the Canadian Grand Prix, and they've moved

685
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: the time. But we're going into the weeds on that.

686
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I if I've got a favorite weekend, Jeff,

687
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: I celebrate the entire catalog, but typically, like I think

688
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: the best time in sports is about to happen because

689
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: once you get into October, now you've got still meaningful

690
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: college football and pro football, you get Playoff baseball, and

691
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: you get the start of the NHL and NBA seasons.

692
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: So as weekends go, this is pretty good. But I

693
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: would say we are just kind of like, you know,

694
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: the foliage outside, it's starting to turn, not at its

695
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: peak just yet.

696
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: I like it well said by.

697
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 1: The way, I can I throw a couple of notes

698
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: your guy way. I know Match has like his facts

699
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: and figures right when he comes on at nine o'clock.

700
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Something hit me as I was listening to the show.

701
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: This is the Colt's first trip to play a game

702
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: in Sofi.

703
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 7: Correct Ever, I believe that is that is cor I

704
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 7: believe Mike Mayert, the great Mike Marrick the AP said

705
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 7: that the Colts haven't won in LA since eighty seven. Obviously,

706
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 7: you know there's there's some reasons behind that.

707
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: It's been a minute.

708
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: The last two times the Colts played the two teams

709
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: they are playing their next two road games are in

710
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the same venue. They were both season openers, the Rams

711
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen that did not go well. The Chargers

712
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen that went better. That was Jacoby Brittles lost. Yeah, correct,

713
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: was it? It was either overtime or bright at the end

714
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: of the game. Remember the pick that Malik Hooker had

715
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: in that game?

716
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, the.

717
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: One handed jump man in the back of the end zone.

718
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

719
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: And of course the twenty seventeen game against the Rams

720
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: played at the Coliseum, Scott Tolzen was your starting quarterbacking.

721
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: Go hope, instill some of Mayte's little another.

722
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 7: There's a lot more picks remembering that game.

723
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Rick, Yeah, that's that did not go well, and frankly,

724
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: the entire season did not go well.

725
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: Obviously I hadn't thought about that pick by Malie Hooker.

726
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: But now it's all coming right now.

727
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 7: Play the league right for the Cowboys.

728
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, good stuff, Greg, You're the best. Appreciate you see

729
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: you guys. Good morning against a Friday, and man, do

730
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: we have a ton of things going on? Today. We

731
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: could have kept going on and on and on, and

732
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: in fact that India eleven is going to be playing

733
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: Saturday seven pm tomorrow against Tulsa FC. And if you

734
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: want a family four pack of that, we'll put Mark

735
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: to the test again on the phones one more time. Mark, Yeah,

736
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: you got nothing else going on?

737
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 9: Nothing, absolutely nothing. Digging through the archives night of it,

738
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 9: you guys find more dirt on you guys.

739
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: You can always tell when he's frustrated with us, Kevin,

740
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: because he just brings all the old clips in every

741
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: one of them.

742
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 7: You're telling me.

743
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: Kevin's got like his own folder.

744
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 5: I think at this point, oh man.

745
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 7: I've certainly been victim to that.

746
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: All right, Colt's coming up on Sunday afternoon. Of course,

747
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: our cover starts at one game kicksok off at four

748
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: oh five. But a big weekend of the National Football

749
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: League is we go to week four, Mark Dyton, I

750
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 2: believe we have some things to talk about this morning,

751
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: do we not.

752
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 9: It is that time of the week where we go

753
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 9: through our most exciting games and also the easiest and

754
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 9: hardest games to select for the NFL Sunday week. You

755
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 9: can go college as well. You want to go that

756
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 9: way as well. We usually stick NFL, but you make

757
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 9: it however you want. So we will start with the

758
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 9: most exciting game, the game you are most looking forward

759
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 9: to this weekend of a busy college sports weekend.

760
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: All right, who wants to go first? I'll go first, all.

761
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 6: Right, my most exciting game, and I will not choose

762
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 6: a Colts matchup for me.

763
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 5: It's the Cowboys and the Packers.

764
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 6: You know, Michael Parson's returns to Jerry World down near

765
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 6: in Arlington Heights, I believe, so that should be an

766
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 6: interesting matchup in this.

767
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 9: Arlington, that Arlington Heights. I'm sorry, Arlington, that's where the

768
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 9: Bears are going.

769
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry, got confused there, but yeah, I think

770
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 6: that'll be a fun matchup.

771
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 7: Love for Michael Parsons.

772
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

773
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 6: Gonna say, you know, that'd be a nice Bears pick up.

774
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 6: But I think either way that game goes, we're gonna

775
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 6: get some funny soundbites from Jerry Jones or Michael Parsons.

776
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go non Colt's Division two because I do

777
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be the most exciting game of the week.

778
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,479
Speaker 2: But how about Ravens Chiefs. Chiefs still have their backs

779
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: against the wall a little bit. The Raven's coming off

780
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 2: a tough loft. Who knows what's gonna happen.

781
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 5: One of those team is gonna be one in three.

782
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy wild.

783
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 9: It's the usual like playoff matchup and the loser is

784
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 9: gonna be one in three?

785
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 5: Are the Chiefs dead?

786
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 2: I think that somebody brought this up there that I

787
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: think was Chris Candy, who was talking about it on

788
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: the show that comes on before us on the ESPN.

789
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: The fact that they've played so much football over the

790
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: past five six years that maybe it just catches up

791
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: to you at some point time. Added to the salary

792
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: cap situation that gets worse and worse the more you

793
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: win and win and win, your better players either demand

794
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: more money or go somewhere else. And he thinks, maybe

795
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: just all those things are happening this year.

796
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 5: We'll see, ye.

797
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 7: I think both those are great choices. I do really

798
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 7: like Colts Rams from an entertainment value, but I will

799
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 7: say when we get the first international game of the year,

800
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 7: I feel it's always a nice.

801
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 5: Little dopamine hit on the old Sunday morning.

802
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 7: It's like, oh yeah, here we go, nine thirty coffee

803
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 7: viewing on this Sunday morning. The Rounder Coup doesn't get

804
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 7: going until about noon on Sunday, so that will be

805
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 7: a nice lead in. And again the Colts don't play

806
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 7: at one, but that'll be a nice little lead in.

807
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 7: It's Viking Steelers. I don't want to overreact to Carson

808
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 7: Wentz versus Aaron Rodgers, but I like me some nine

809
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 7: thirty football highlight for me.

810
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 9: We've got the Colts not until the four o'clock window.

811
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 9: Also Chiefs Ravens in the four o'clock window, the one

812
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 9: o'clock window, the Shining Star Eagles, Bucks, a pair of

813
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 9: undefeated teams going head to head in Tampa. Sign me

814
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 9: up for that. Seven days of the week. I'm very

815
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 9: much looking forward to Eagles and Bucks in the one

816
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 9: o'clock s late kind of like that one.

817
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: All right, what are we on to next?

818
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 9: Mark Dykton the easiest game of the week, whether this

819
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 9: is spread or whatever you want to go with the college,

820
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 9: NFL or otherwise, the easiest game for the week that

821
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 9: you would put money on, and like, yep, that's cashing.

822
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna go Eagles over the Bucks. Mark

823
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 7: to play off that a little bit. I think the

824
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 7: Bucks are a little banged up. No, Mike Evans, right, Mike Evans,

825
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 7: a little offensive line. We'll see about Tristan Wurf's getting

826
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 7: back with still a couple offensive line injuries there. And

827
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 7: I just think, I mean, the Eagles have one what

828
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 7: nineteen of twenty, I want to say, it's three and

829
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 7: a half. So yeah, maybe two and a half would

830
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 7: make you feel a little bit better, but I will

831
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 7: go with the Sirianni Eagles.

832
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 6: All right, James Boyd, I'm probably laying towards the Ravens.

833
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 6: There are two and a half point favorites going into

834
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 6: this Chiefs game. I'll trust their offense more of their

835
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 6: defense is an issue. It's been an issue for a

836
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: couple of years now, quite honestly. But I think that

837
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 6: they're gonna put enough points to put the Chiefs away,

838
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 6: put them down.

839
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 7: They went through the season, we homes at home with

840
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 7: points and James Boyd's going against them, And then that's

841
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 7: not that crazy of a thought. Not mean, like that's

842
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 7: the reality of where the Keeps are at right now.

843
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go bold mark, You're ready for this, Yes, Now,

844
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: on the surface, you're gonna get You're gonna think like

845
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm copping out when I take the Bills over the Saints.

846
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: But I'm going with the points here. How about this

847
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: fifteen and a half point favorites, and I still like

848
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: the Bills at home to win about thirty seven to

849
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 2: thirteen over this horrible Saints team. They are not good.

850
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: I know it's a fifteen and a half point spread

851
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: and that's crazy for the NFL, but it should probably

852
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: be one of those college football spreads, Kevin, It's like

853
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: twenty two and a half. That's where I'm going there.

854
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 9: My easiest is the Packers minus six and a half

855
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 9: against the Cowboys. Not only is Michah Parson's returning to Dallas.

856
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 9: W You've got that already. You know he wants to

857
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 9: just lay it on Jerry. But the Packers are coming

858
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 9: off a horrific loss to the Cleveland Browns. You know

859
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 9: they're pissed off. They're gonna take it out in the Cowboys,

860
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 9: who are a pathetic, pathetic, pathetic team. Ceedee Lamb is

861
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 9: already out for the game for god knows how long.

862
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 9: They are going to destroy the Cowboys, and again, if

863
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 9: they don't, biggest choke job in the NFL.

864
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 7: Marcus all this emotional like the hedging.

865
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 5: With his I'm just saying they should dominate them.

866
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 7: I am actually gonna go with Jeff's game for my

867
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 7: hardest one to pick.

868
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 5: That's actually mine too.

869
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 7: Fifteen and a half. I just think it's such a

870
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 7: ridiculous number, like three scores in an NFL game. I mean,

871
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 7: at one point, don't the Bills to throw up the

872
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 7: white flag? And then all of a sudden, you know,

873
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 7: Tyler Schuck gets in the game and leads a seventy

874
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 7: yard touchdown to turn a twenty one point deficit into

875
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 7: a fourteen point deficit.

876
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 5: That's what I'm thinking too.

877
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 9: I don't know how long Josh Allen and the starters

878
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 9: are gonna play in this game, and they might be

879
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 9: out by halftime.

880
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: They might be a thirty one to three by the half.

881
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 7: So that one I want no part of.

882
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: No.

883
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 9: I was sixteen and a half yesterday. It's dipped to

884
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 9: fifteen and a half. But still the Bills stink or

885
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, the Bills are Super Bowl contenders, the Saints stink,

886
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 9: but still fifteen and a half points in the NFL

887
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 9: is insane. Again, I don't know how long these starters

888
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 9: are playing, there's gonna be some garbage time scores. I

889
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 9: feel like that is going to make that game closer

890
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 9: than fifteen and a half. I wouldn't touch it at all.

891
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: All right, maybe I'll have to have a little chat

892
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 2: with you after.

893
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 9: The show, Mark unless you're willing to deposit some money

894
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 9: in my account, go right ahead.

895
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: No, you and I you like that? So, James Woyd,

896
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: what do you got?

897
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 6: Hmm, I'm looking at a hard is you know, my

898
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 6: toughest game price might go Commanders Falcons, like I don't know?

899
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 6: You know it is is Jayden Dane's gonna be available

900
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 6: this week? Yeah, so you know he has practice, right, Okay,

901
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 6: so if he's if he's practiced, and I'll probably.

902
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: I was asking that he has.

903
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 6: Oh here's the hardest game. Honestly, it probably Panthers Patriots.

904
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 6: You got five and a half point favorites for the Patriots.

905
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 6: I don't trust that.

906
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 7: Like I think Colts rams a hard game.

907
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 5: Yeah you think so?

908
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 7: I mean three? Anytime you get three and a half,

909
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 7: I think those are difficult. You know, because the twenty

910
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 7: seven twenty four games, the you know, twenty seventeen games,

911
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 7: the twenty three twenty games, I mean those games can just.

912
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 5: Boy, that's totally so I don't know.

913
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 6: I guess I can't go back. And the easiest game

914
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 6: of the week that we all got that guess kind

915
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 6: of missed.

916
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: Was Chargers Giants. I was looking at that should have

917
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 5: been my.

918
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 7: Pig, not Chiefs Am Local time.

919
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 5: Dude, the Jackson Dark. I don't trust it.

920
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: Old rookie magic for a game.

921
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 6: Ain't on rookie magic in New York. He turned to

922
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 6: other rookies.

923
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 7: When does weird happen in the NFL?

924
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: Not this week?

925
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 7: When does weird happen?

926
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 5: Not this week?

927
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 9: By the way, Jade Daniels has been limited less two

928
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 9: days for Commanders practice for those curious, so not sure

929
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 9: they're And then also, the Falcons just got embarrassed by

930
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 9: the Panthers, and we gotta see how that big firing

931
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 9: works out for the Panthers. One of the Falcons when

932
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 9: they hired, they fired their wide receivers coach to blame

933
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 9: him for the thirty nothing turn everything around.

934
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah fired, yeah mark Uh. The one game I'm staying

935
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: away from. I would think that the Bears would roll

936
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,959
Speaker 2: over the Las Vegas Raiders, but they're playing on the road.

937
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 2: They're traveling out west, and I can't quite figure out

938
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: either of these two teams yet.

939
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 9: Bears have good vibes going heading out to Vegas. You

940
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 9: were going into the bye week right after this game,

941
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 9: so maybe you know, get a win, they get to

942
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 9: hang out the roulette table a little longer. Ben Johnson's

943
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 9: be like, go ahead, boys, let loose a little bit,

944
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 9: so take care of the Raiders please.

945
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: Part of me feels like the Bears should roll, but

946
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: they should. I don't get a good feeling here. I

947
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: don't know.

948
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 9: Ashton Genty has not been very good at all so far.

949
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 9: Geno Smith has not been great. But Pete Carroll he's

950
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 9: been doing it for a long time for a reason.

951
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 9: He's very very good. So I'm a bit nervous about

952
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 9: that game. But I would also like we get out

953
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 9: of win. You're heading into bye week two and two,

954
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 9: and you're film pretty good about yourself.

955
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 7: We can't make a freaking putt. Just the same old,

956
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 7: same old bleak. We can't make a putt and the

957
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 7: Euros make everything that they look at.

958
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: Are you enjoying the emotional roller coaster ride that these

959
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: two are on today, yes?

960
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 6: Because that was me last Saturday, so I should probably

961
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 6: sure it's still truck for my country, though, so I

962
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 6: can't be totally against him.

963
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 9: We start out so well with that. Bryson just dismissal

964
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 9: that he launched on the first hole. Now he hasn't

965
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 9: done anything downhill since Mark horrible.

966
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 5: Kevin actually sounds legitimately sad girl. They ain't oh yet,

967
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 5: I need some water.

968
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: We're just starting. We'll give you a score update on

969
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: the Ryder cuple talk about that Fever playoff game. Colts,

970
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: of course coming up on Sunday afternoon on a big

971
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: weekend of college football as well. Still a lot to

972
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: do here at ninety three five and one on seven five.

973
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: Get your bouncing early on a Friday morning. I guess

974
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: it's not so early more than nine o'clock. Welcome to

975
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 2: the show. If you're just joining us, thank you for

976
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: being here. However you're listening to us on the air online,

977
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 2: whatever it happens to be. You came at the right time, though,

978
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: because we are here to talk to one of our

979
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 2: favorite people and our favorite time of the week. Matt

980
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: Taylor stops Spy to talk about the Colts game on

981
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Rams. He joined us on the paylist, Lookers, Hotline,

982
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, Matt Taylor, how you doing this morning.

983
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm great, You're all too kind. How are you guys today?

984
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: We are fired up. It's a great weekend and we

985
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 2: were talking about this game. This might be the most interesting,

986
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: exciting game of the week, even if you're a non

987
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: Colts fan.

988
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: I think so too. It's got some juice about it, right.

989
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the Rams are two and one, but they

990
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: really should be three and oh if they don't have

991
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: a couple field goals blocked, and you know, they went

992
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: ice cold there in the second half of their game

993
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: against the Eagles last week. They're up nineteen points against

994
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: the defending champs on the road. They don't score a

995
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: single point in the last twenty nine minutes of that game.

996
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: And then of course they got the the field goal

997
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: blocked and then the icing on the cake with the

998
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: sixty one yard return off of the block. So it's

999
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: a really good football team. And I think you got

1000
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: two really good football teams, you know, on the you know,

1001
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: on the big stage if you will, late afternoon game.

1002
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a Fox game if I'm not mistaken.

1003
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: But at any rate, this is a chance for the

1004
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: Colts to go out west and validate, you know, a

1005
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 1: three and oh start. There's still some doubters out there,

1006
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: still some skeptics about, all right, you're three and oh,

1007
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: but you beat the Titans, you beat the Dolphins. I mean,

1008
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't care. These are NFL teams and you're dismantling them.

1009
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: But there's still some people out there saying, I want

1010
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: to see you do it against a good team on

1011
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: the road. And that's exactly the opportunity the Colts have

1012
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday.

1013
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 7: Always great to hear the voice of Matt Taylor again.

1014
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 7: He will be on the call coming up Charles R.

1015
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 7: Buckle and him. As you said at four o'clock on Sunday,

1016
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 7: May tey, before you get into Taylor's tidbits, you know

1017
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 7: you are a numbers guy of all the astonishing offensive

1018
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 7: numbers team play. Like I was astonished earlier this week

1019
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 7: when the Colts are like, yeah, Jonathan Taylor is the

1020
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 7: first player in team history to win back to back

1021
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 7: AFC Player of the Week. So I'm like, wait, what

1022
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 7: in the in the illustrious history of the Colts, like

1023
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 7: Taylor is the first of all of them individual team.

1024
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 7: What's the most astonishing number you've come across through three weeks.

1025
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one that just like, you're right, I mean,

1026
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: I do appreciate context of what the numbers say. Sometimes

1027
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: they lie, sometimes they don't. That like figuring out what's

1028
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: the truth, But this is the one that just floors me.

1029
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: And you know, the the no turnover thing is one thing,

1030
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: but it's just being able to execute like this level

1031
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: of execution that we're seeing in a three week stretch.

1032
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: This before, Like, it's one thing to do this over

1033
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: the course of three weeks in a season, but to

1034
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: do it in the first three weeks of a season

1035
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: right out of the gate when you're trying to fill

1036
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: yourself out. You know, sometimes training camp can be a

1037
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: little bit rocky because you got it, you have injuries,

1038
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: and then, as the case with the Colts, you got

1039
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: a new quarterback for like the upteenth straight year. But

1040
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: to be able to do this with all of those

1041
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: variables and to perform at this high of a level

1042
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, it's astonishing and it's historic,

1043
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: and this is the number that just floors me. Just

1044
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: with the execution in mind, the Colts have scored on

1045
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: a whopping seventy seven percent of their offensive possessions so

1046
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: far this year. Right, I know about the no turnovers,

1047
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: and I know about the you know, the just a

1048
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: one punt, but they've scored seventy seven percent of the

1049
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: time they've had the ball. That is the most of

1050
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL after three games in forty

1051
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: five years. And they're doing it with the quarterback that's

1052
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: been here since March. I mean, it's just it's just crazy.

1053
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: So you know, we spent I don't know about twenty

1054
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: minutes on the show on Monday night with Rick and Joe,

1055
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: and we took just a dedicated amount of time to

1056
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: step back and just appreciate and not take for granted

1057
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: what you're seeing because you know, I don't know if

1058
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: it's sustainable for the entire year. I mean, I know

1059
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some speed bumps in the NFL, Like

1060
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,479
Speaker 1: Parodius King, There's gonna be some rocky times, which makes

1061
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: you really have to step back and really revere what

1062
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: you're watching. From Daniel Jones and this Colts offense to

1063
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: start the all right.

1064
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 7: Mark Dyke, Dan alf of that great notes, let's go

1065
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 7: ahead with some tailor's tidbits.

1066
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 10: Let's dive into the nitty gritty great of a seat

1067
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 10: and take notes. There's storylines all over the upcoming game.

1068
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 10: Clark say, it's time for Taylor's tidbits. Look, oh yeah,

1069
00:47:58,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 10: new and improved.

1070
00:47:59,760 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 4: Man.

1071
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 7: That sounded like an intro to the Plinko game on prices, right,

1072
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 7: Mats Taylor?

1073
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 2: How about that?

1074
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: We whipped it up. We had a brain and we

1075
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: had an idea the brain this morning, and we whipped

1076
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: it up. Don't leave it to me.

1077
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 2: If it's up there.

1078
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: Execution will be had, all right, So I'm gonna go

1079
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: rapids fire here. We already talked about the execution on offense.

1080
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this good start here. But try not

1081
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: to be satisfied if you're the Colts, because they're three

1082
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: and oh for the first time in sixteen years. Their

1083
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: three and oh start also means they are the sixteen

1084
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: since divisional realignment in two thousand and two to begin

1085
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 1: three and oh and score at least twenty eight points

1086
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: in each game to begin a season after missing the

1087
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: playoffs the year before. All right, so this also means

1088
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: the Colts have created some wiggle room for themselves. Eighty

1089
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: six percent of the teams that have started three and

1090
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: oh since the NFL expanded their playoff model in twenty

1091
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: twenty have gone on to make the postseason. This is

1092
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: the time in the Indianapolis era for the Colts they

1093
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: have started three and oh and the previous six they

1094
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: are six for six and making the playoffs. So they

1095
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: got off to a great start. But the Colts, you know,

1096
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: they have all that information, but they have to put

1097
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: it on the mat burner and continue to play like

1098
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: what got them to three and oh. And it's hard

1099
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: to do as a player, but you have to compartmentalize

1100
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: and keep that edge and keep the grind going. We

1101
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: talked about the offensive machines for the Colts, right They

1102
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: produced nineteen straight offensive drives to start the season without

1103
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: a punt. That is the second longest streak in team

1104
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: history and the most for the Colts since two thousand

1105
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: and five. And according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the

1106
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: Colts lone punt through three games this season. That is

1107
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 1: the fewest since the start of the nineteen forty season.

1108
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: Around the NFL, the only clubs to start three and

1109
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: oh and punt fewer than five times while doing so

1110
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: are the twenty and twenty five col and the two

1111
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: thousand and seven New England Patriots. The Colts also became

1112
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: the only team since at least nineteen thirty nine with

1113
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: zero turnovers in one or fewer punts at a three

1114
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: game stretch. And I also heard you guys talking earlier

1115
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: about the the Jonathan Taylor dominant the second half production.

1116
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: All Right, in the last two games, Jonathan Taylor, He's

1117
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: wrecked up two hundred and three rushing yards past halftime.

1118
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Sixty five percent of his rushing total on the season

1119
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: has come in the second half of games, including two

1120
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: big runs. He had a sixty eight yarder and a

1121
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: forty six yarder, but both of those have come past

1122
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: the locker room break and the second half of games,

1123
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: Taylor's averaging over eight yards per carry, which is five

1124
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 1: yards more per carry than his output in the first

1125
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: half of games on the season. So there you go.

1126
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about now the Rams on defense.

1127
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: All right, they're two to one, but again you could

1128
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: argue they should be three to ozho. They are a

1129
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: very aggressive defense. They are also a pretty complete team.

1130
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 1: They're the only team so far this year to rank

1131
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: top five in total offense and also total defense, and

1132
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: on defense they rely heavily on blitzing to generate pressure.

1133
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: When they blitz, they tarate pressure about sixty five percent

1134
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: of the time. When they don't blitz and they just

1135
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: sit back and you know, rush four and play defense,

1136
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: they only put pressure on the quarterback thirty six percent

1137
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 1: of the time. That's why you see him blitz, That's

1138
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: why you see him go crazy. That's helped them produce

1139
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: the third highest sack rate on defense to this point

1140
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: of the season. They are tied for the league lead

1141
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: in sacks with twelve and they have eight different players

1142
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: with at least one sack that is tied for the

1143
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: most in the NFL so far this season. And the

1144
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: last nugget here, the last tailor tidbit, I want to

1145
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: talk about Matthew Stafford. He's a Hall of Famer. He's

1146
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old. He's planned for seventeen years. He

1147
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: ranks top ten all time in all the different passing measurables,

1148
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: passing cards and completions, and passing touchdowns. Last week against

1149
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles, he reached one hundred passing touchdowns just with

1150
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: the Rams, becoming the fourth player in NFL history with

1151
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand plus passing yards and one hundred plus passing

1152
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns with multiple teams. The only other players to do

1153
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: that Peyton Manning, of course, Carson Palmer and Jared Golf.

1154
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: And he's also had pretty good numbers against the Colts.

1155
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: He's averaging over three hundred and seventeen passing yards per

1156
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: game against the Colts in his career, which by the way,

1157
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 1: is the most by any player against the Colts all time.

1158
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: He's two to zero lifetime in the head to head

1159
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: matchups against Daniel Jones. But here's the caveat. He's that

1160
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a mixed bag against lou An

1161
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: Arumo and two meetings against the Bengals when lou an

1162
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,280
Speaker 1: Arumo was the defensive court.

1163
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 11: Including the Super.

1164
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 1: Bowl, Stafford has completed sixty percent of his passes over

1165
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty yards. He's thrown four touchdowns, but

1166
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: he's also thrown four picks, two in each game, and

1167
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: he's also been sacked eight times. So no Kenny Moore

1168
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Not sure about the rest of the defense.

1169
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on to Forrest Buckner in that back,

1170
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: but without Kenny Moore, the Colts are going to have

1171
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: to find a way to at least create a little

1172
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: bit of a shadow of a doubt pre snapped with

1173
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, to create some confusion on a

1174
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: guy like Matthew Stafford. That is obviously accomplished so much,

1175
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: but you know, next man up and that Nickel lost

1176
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: the Coults with Kenny Moore the big one. We're going

1177
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: to find out how they can you know, make up

1178
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: for that loss in the confusing department pre snap for

1179
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford the line of scrimmage.

1180
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 6: So Mayte, that was a lot of information there, great

1181
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 6: as always, But I do have one question for you.

1182
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 6: When you were rattling off all those Jonas Taylor numbers

1183
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 6: and how great he's been. When you see him at

1184
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 6: the facility, do you just walk down the hallway and go,

1185
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 6: what up, cousin because of the same last name or

1186
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 6: how does that go?

1187
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, yeah, we are we are brothers from another

1188
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: mother a day, you know, Jonathan Taylor and I and yeah,

1189
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: just it is so good to see him so honed

1190
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: in and you know, you everybody talking about all he

1191
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: looks like the twenty and twenty one version of Jonathan Taylor. Well,

1192
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: this dude might be better because if you look at

1193
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 1: his numbers and extrapolate them out right, leaves the NFL

1194
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: and rushing yards three hundred and thirty eight yards so

1195
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: far on the ground through three games. If you do

1196
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: the math, he's on pace for a better year this

1197
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: year than in twenty and twenty one, when he led

1198
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: the NFL on rushing with over eighteen hundred yards. So yeah,

1199
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: my cousin, he's on fire right now. And I keep

1200
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 1: trying to convince myself that taking carries away from Jonathan

1201
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: Taylor early on the season is a good thing for

1202
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: the betterment of the team and for the betterment of

1203
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: him later in the year. But yeah, it's hard to

1204
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: argue when he's ripping off big runs turn into five

1205
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: yard games on an iso, like at see why football

1206
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: Saint Jude versus Saint Barnabas in the backyard back in

1207
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: the day, you know, ripping that for forty six yards out.

1208
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue taking carries away from a guy

1209
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: who's so efficient and so explosive.

1210
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 2: Mate. Always great to hear your little tidbits there. Can't

1211
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 2: wait to hear your voice on the call on Sunday

1212
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 2: afternoon and I'm excited. I think this is going to

1213
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 2: be just a really entertaining game to watch.

1214
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 5: I really do.

1215
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, me too.

1216
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the trip, you know, going out to

1217
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: La Colts haven't played out there, by the way, since

1218
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Haven't won a game. The Colts have not

1219
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: won a game in La, the city of Angels, La,

1220
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: La Land since nineteen eighty six. Rick Vin Turrey was

1221
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: coaching linebackers back then for the Colts. Mooky, then El

1222
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: they beat it, then La Raiders on the last game

1223
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: of the regular season in nineteen eighty six.

1224
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 7: Well, bickt, what a big game or something like that.

1225
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know her baby, So yeah, looking looking forward

1226
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: for a sofi stadium, you know the Oculus as they say,

1227
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: you know the Ring Jimbo Tron. I'm excited to it's

1228
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: the biggest NFL stadium that the league offers seventy thousand.

1229
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: Los Angeleans really crazy on Sunday.

1230
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 7: I did not know that was the biggest stadium in

1231
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 7: the league.

1232
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: Yep, capacity wise, it's the biggest stadium. And they're getting

1233
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: ready for the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics. They have

1234
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: already hosted I believe some FIFA World Cup games there,

1235
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's like it's like Jerry World, but it's

1236
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: newer than Jerry World. So I'm excited to see what

1237
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: it's all about.

1238
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 7: Have fun.

1239
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you soon, all right, guys. Indyan A

1240
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 2: Fever at the Fieldhouse seven thirty tip in their best

1241
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 2: of five semi final playoff series in the WNBA with

1242
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,959
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Aces. They did their job on the road,

1243
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: they took one, they come home with a split, but

1244
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 2: as Kevin's been saying, an uber pivotal game three tonight

1245
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: and joining us here to tell us more about that

1246
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: and the state of the franchise. Kelly Crosscoff, who is

1247
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 2: the team president on the Payless Lookers Hot Life, and boy,

1248
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: are there any butterflies in the stomach when you wake

1249
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: up this morning as the team president of this Indiana

1250
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 2: Fever team.

1251
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 12: Kelly, Hey, good morning, guys. Thanks for having me on.

1252
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 12: You know, look, I've been doing this a long time, so.

1253
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 11: This is fun.

1254
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 12: This is the best time. And with everything that we've

1255
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 12: been through as a team and this group of players

1256
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 12: and coaches, I'm just I'm just really in awe of

1257
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 12: what they've been able to achieve. And overcome, so every

1258
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 12: you know, each game that we get to keep playing,

1259
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 12: it's just it adds more to how special this season is.

1260
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 5: Kelly.

1261
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 6: You talk about persevering and overcoming, I think a player

1262
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 6: who embodies that more than probably anybody on their roster

1263
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 6: is Kelsey Mitchell being here so long, having the success

1264
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 6: here in the playoffs. What oh, how would you describe

1265
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 6: the person in the player that Kelsey Mitchell is and

1266
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 6: how greatful are you to have her be a part

1267
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 6: of this franchise?

1268
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 11: Oh, you know, Kelsey.

1269
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 12: Kelsey was the last draft pick that I made for

1270
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 12: the Fever before I left to go join Kevin and

1271
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 12: Chad on the Facers side. So she was in my

1272
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 12: draft class in twenty eighteen. And you know, I just

1273
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 12: the career that she's had, and she's you know, stuck

1274
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 12: with this franchise and gone through all of the being

1275
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 12: in the building, not being in the building, being relocated

1276
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 12: to play and various places around the city and just

1277
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 12: you know, grinding. Really just she's just she's a baller,

1278
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 12: that's all I can say. I mean, she loves the game.

1279
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 12: She's really committed to being a great pro. She's a

1280
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 12: great teammate, she's a great person. She lost her dad,

1281
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 12: who was really such a significant part of her life,

1282
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 12: as all of our parents.

1283
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 11: Are, but her dad and her were you know, this

1284
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 11: was the big loss in her life last year. And

1285
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 11: so I'm the thrill for her that we're in this

1286
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 11: position and she has let us. Honestly, she's steam on

1287
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,439
Speaker 11: her back, and I feel like she's having the most

1288
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 11: fun that she's had because you know, she's feeling all

1289
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 11: of this come together for her finally at the right time.

1290
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 11: I told her, I said, look at took Catchings. It

1291
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 11: took us ten years to win our first championship with

1292
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 11: a player like Kamika Catchings. And she was her eyes

1293
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 11: got big.

1294
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 12: She's like, are you kidding me? I was like, no,

1295
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 12: that's you know, it takes a while sometimes, but I'm

1296
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 12: really happy for her.

1297
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, asked Peyton Manning six years and won

1298
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 7: his first playoff game at Super Bowl I think came

1299
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 7: in year nine, Kelly, first off. Congrats. It's a hell

1300
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 7: of a story. And you know, I don't know if

1301
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 7: our listeners fully realize just how new some of these

1302
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 7: faces are to people that will play pivotal roles. Tonight,

1303
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 7: I asked this to Pat Boyle in a few weeks ago.

1304
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 7: And I'll ask you this, do you have a story

1305
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 7: of whether it's Odyssee sim Shay Petty, Aeriel Powers. I

1306
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 7: know Chloe Bibby's hurt. But if some of these people

1307
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 7: that weren't on the roster at the start of the year,

1308
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 7: how you found them now they're playing pivotal roles. Is

1309
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 7: there a singular story in some of the new faces

1310
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 7: that has really stood out to a team that's kind

1311
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 7: of defined resiliency all year long?

1312
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, listen, you know, Odyssey Simms has played

1313
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 12: twelve regular season games with US, Shay Patty has played nine.

1314
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 12: You know, Era of Powers has played eight. And look

1315
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 12: at where we are. The night that we lost two

1316
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 12: point guards in one game against Phoenix, I had flown

1317
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 12: back Amber Cox, our GM was still with the team.

1318
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,919
Speaker 12: We're on the phone. I started making calls from here

1319
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 12: in Indy to track down Odyssey because we had kind

1320
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 12: of kept eyes on her. You know, Aery McDonald was

1321
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 12: a replacement player, and we had to replace the replacement

1322
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 12: players I mean who we had to ultimately sign. But yeah,

1323
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 12: I mean that night, you know, overnight, I entered the

1324
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 12: next morning tracking down odyssey and was we were thrilled

1325
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 12: and really that she was available, just surprised that she

1326
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 12: was available because of her experience. I mean, she was

1327
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 12: a number two pick in the draft in twenty fourteen

1328
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 12: and is an accomplished, longtime season veterans. So got her

1329
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,439
Speaker 12: founder in Dallas, got her on a plane the next day,

1330
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 12: and you know, with aerial powers. I mean, she was

1331
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 12: literally in Turkey, was over their training with some players

1332
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 12: and was really you know, our agent was like, well,

1333
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 12: she's got to steal and she's kind of overseas now.

1334
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 12: But as soon as she was told of Indiana needed her,

1335
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 12: I mean, she jumped on a flight and came back over.

1336
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 12: So came back to these states and the rest is history.

1337
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 2: It's been a long season, a lot of injuries. Of course,

1338
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 2: everybody always wants to talk about the Caitlin Clark injury,

1339
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 2: and it just kind of lingered and lingered, and then

1340
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: one injury turned into another injury. I know it's been

1341
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 2: frustrating for everyone there. But should people be worried long

1342
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 2: term or is this just making sure we get Caitlin

1343
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: Clark right for moving forward.

1344
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 12: It's that it's making sure she's right, and you know,

1345
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 12: when she suffered the ankle injury. It was just it

1346
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 12: was just a way to say, look, we got to

1347
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 12: we've got to slow this down, make sure that everything

1348
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,439
Speaker 12: is you know, this is a whole long term play

1349
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 12: for us, and she also believes that, and this is

1350
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 12: really about her long term health. You know, we kind

1351
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 12: of you know, get delusional sometimes she's what would this

1352
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 12: team look like right now? She was out there, you know,

1353
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 12: and we had Sophie Cunningham out there, and we had

1354
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 12: Erie out there. But the Kayla's going to be fine.

1355
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 12: She's doing great, and you know, like most competitors, I mean,

1356
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 12: she's she's trying to be out there and do what

1357
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 12: she can do. So she's every single day she's working

1358
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 12: out and you know, plans to be fully returned as

1359
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 12: well as just you know, times ten. I think I

1360
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 12: think there's just a great experience for her to learn

1361
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 12: from the sidelines. But obviously we'd rather have her out there.

1362
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 12: But she's going to be great.

1363
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 2: Tell her, we all know that she's brought so many

1364
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 2: eyes to the sport and certainly the fever. I saw

1365
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 2: this this morning and I was I was mildly and

1366
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:02,439
Speaker 2: happily surprised. Tuesday's Fevers semi final game too, average one

1367
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 2: point seven million viewers on ESPN. That's the largest second

1368
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Round Playoff audience since the Comments and Sparks way back

1369
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 2: in two thousand. Are you surprised at all that people

1370
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: came for Caitlin Clark but they've stayed for the basketball.

1371
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, that's that's kind of the way it works.

1372
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 12: I mean, a player like Caitlin brought this entirely new

1373
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 12: fan base, you know, sort of a casual fan base,

1374
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 12: people that had knew of the league but really didn't

1375
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 12: watch and stay tuned. And then now they're fans of

1376
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 12: our team and they're fans of the WNBA. So this

1377
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 12: is the Halo effect and this is the rising tide.

1378
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 12: And I can't say I'm surprised because I think, you know,

1379
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 12: this is we have a generation of fans that have

1380
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 12: grown up with you know, the WNBA been here. Now

1381
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 12: we'll come up on a thirty year anniversary. So there's finally,

1382
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 12: you know, some traction on really understanding what they're seeing.

1383
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 12: And the fan base of these players is an extension

1384
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 12: of who they are. They can tell their stories through

1385
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 12: social media, through their own deals, so there's all kinds

1386
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 12: of ways to attach to these athletes, and so we're thrilled,

1387
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 12: I think, But again, Caitlin is with the catalyst. You know,

1388
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 12: she was the one that really lifted the engagement and

1389
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,840

1393
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 6: When you look at the job that Stephanie White has

1394
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 6: done this season, how gratifying has that been. Knowing how

1395
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 6: much this means to her, especially, I guess has a

1396
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 6: lay a little bit.

1397
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 5: I'm seeing some some waterworks.

1398
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 6: I'm not used to this side of Stephanie White, but

1399
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 6: it shows how much she cares about this team.

1400
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 5: And this run that they're on going into Game three.

1401
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, look, steph is you know, she was

1402
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 12: an original member of our franchise. That was the first

1403
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 12: player transaction I ever made, you know, as an executive,

1404
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 12: was to bring her here as to wear the uniform.

1405
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 12: So and look, she understands that this is special what's happening,

1406
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 12: and the job that that they're able to get, you know,

1407
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 12: these players together in such a quick fashion to compete

1408
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:17,080
