Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five The Fan.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to The Fan Morning Show on Sports Radio

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: Five The Fan. Good morning, Caleb, nice job getting us

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: in and out of breaks today, doing a good job

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: filling in for Mark Dyketon, who is already shoveling snow

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: and pruning trees and doing all kinds of things that

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: the Governor's mansion so they can get the Bears to

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: Northwest Indiana. James, he's fired up. Let's go.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be something?

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: Can you imagine I just, you know, stop in Merylville

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes before you go to the stadium something like

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: that. That would be nuts. It is a balmy forty four

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: degrees outside right now. Compared to what has been like

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks, it was fairly nice yesterday.

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Sun's peeking up over the horizon and we are day

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: closer to Monday night football. The San Francisco forty nine

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: ers coming to town and look San Francisco somehow, some

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: way through all their injuries and everything else. And you've

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: talked about this coming they're ten and four. They just

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: keep winning football games, finding ways to win football games.

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: They just do.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter which of their receivers has banged up. I

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: know that they haven't had their They've they've played a

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: couple of quarterbacks this year. They haven't had their maybe

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: their best wide receiver all year long. They've had season

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: ending injuries to big players on defense, and Kyle Shanahan

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: of that group, they just kind of keep kicking off wins.

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's beyond impressive.

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 6: It's Coach of the Year worthy easily for Kyle Shanahan

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 6: and how decimated they've been from an injury standpoint, you know,

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 6: even like George Kittles miss five games. I mean that's

34
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 6: you know, a really notable injury. In five games is

35
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 6: a substantial amount of time. Speaking of Monday Night football,

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 6: I believe in Caleb Gohead confirmed this. Mark said Joe

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 6: Buck Monday.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: At nine day, Monday at nine o'clock.

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 6: Joe Buck, I know Mark has been efforting that for

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 6: quite a while. We honestly thought more from an IU

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 6: football point of view, if anybody watches Monday Night football,

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 6: Joe Buck loves to needle Troy Aikman a little bit

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 6: on the Indiana football aspect of things.

44
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 5: So looking forward to that day of the game.

45
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 6: We'll have Joe Buck joining us here on a Monday,

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 6: so really looking forward to that.

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Nick says he wants to disagree with the percentage of

48
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Colts fans up there. Said, there's a chunk of us

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: that are season ticket holders and quite a few Colts

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: oriented bars. Yes, I live in Gary, right off the

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: twelfth and Broadway. I can send you pictures of shell

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: casings on the sidewalk out front sometime this week if

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: you'd like just to prove that he lives there. I

54
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: guess a little rougher sometimes, a little rough there sometimes.

55
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's probably not a route I want to go down,

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 7: But yeah, I would say that, you know, maybe there

57
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 7: are more fans up there. But as far as the

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 7: other statement, I'll leave that alone.

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, two seventy number to call if you want to

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: get in or text in. And I just I can't help.

61
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: But wonder I know all the things that makes all

62
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: the sense in the world of things are telling me

63
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: about Anthony Richardson. Would the Colts prefer if he never

64
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: plays a snap again for the Indianapolis Colts?

65
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 8: No?

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: Wait, what was the question, Anthony, Right, yeah, that's my question.

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, you.

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 7: Drafted him forth overall, you want to see him play

69
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 7: for as long as he's on your roster. I would

70
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 7: think that if he becomes healthy, even if within the

71
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 7: next week or so, that should be a conversation should

72
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 7: we get this guy out there to see what we have,

73
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 7: especially as you go into an offseason where your quarterback

74
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 7: position is in flux and it's kind of up in

75
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 7: the air.

76
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: I know that the assumption is that.

77
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones will be brought back, which that doesn't surprise

78
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 7: me too much, but we also don't know what he's

79
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 7: gonna look like coming off in achilles tear. So yeah,

80
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 7: you definitely want to take a look at the guy.

81
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 7: And unfortunately, like I wrote yesterday in The Athletic, it's

82
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 7: just he was supposed to get an opportunity and it

83
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 7: didn't happen because of the freak accident to his eye.

84
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 7: And what's funny is having this conversation with a lot

85
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 7: of the fans, they're like, well, I don't know, they

86
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 7: might have still gone out and got rivers. No, they

87
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 7: would not have. Like, let's clear this up. He was

88
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 7: QB two from the start of the season. So if

89
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 7: he had stayed with the roster and not gotten injured,

90
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 7: the moment Daniel Jones goes down, we're not talking about

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard and we're definitely talking.

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: About Philip Rivers.

93
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 7: We're talking about Anthony Richison going back into the team,

94
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 7: into the lineup and having a chance to possibly redeem

95
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 7: himself after everything he's kind of been through with the franchise.

96
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think it's only a debate now because

97
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 7: he's coming off the injury and Rivers is here now

98
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 7: and he started. But to act like that would have

99
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 7: been a serious conversation or debate if Richards had been

100
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 7: healthy all along is asinin.

101
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 6: So go back to the question you asked to start

102
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 6: off the show in regard to Richardson versus Rivers.

103
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've heard this from a lot of people

104
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: the last couple days. It's why I bring it up.

105
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: People were wondering and not probably recognizing the seriousness of

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: the facial bone injury. They're like, how can Philip Rivers

107
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: be out of football for five years, come in on

108
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: three days practice and start and yet the coaching staff

109
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: says Anthony Richard needs a ramp up period.

110
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: Yes, that question was poised was posed to Shane Second

111
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 6: on Monday, Caleb gud and cue that audio up.

112
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 8: Well, I think obviously he's coming back off an injury,

113
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 8: and you know Philip obviously was not injured, but obviously

114
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 8: was on the layoff. You know that was the difference

115
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 8: right there, simple as that.

116
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: So we talked about this on Monday.

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 6: There's nothing that I feel more uneducated about than talking

118
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 6: about player injuries. And like the recovery process. I think

119
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 6: it's a great job. Jake, you know, has done this.

120
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: I know here over the last few weeks, few months.

121
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 6: Maybe you know Ralph Reef, he's terrific. He's had him

122
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 6: on and you know, it just gives a little bit

123
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 6: of an understanding of Okay, you know what do some

124
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 6: of these injuries mean.

125
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: Now, again, you still don't know the full story.

126
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 6: So what I know about the Anthony Richardson orbital fracture

127
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 6: was it was a gruesome injury.

128
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 5: I've labeled it quite often. This is not a football injury.

129
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: This is a human injury.

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 6: This was an injury that impacted his life, his vision

131
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 6: more than anything. And I assume an orbital fracture around

132
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 6: the eye that's impacting vision. I'd venture to guess your

133
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 6: physical activity couldn't be very much.

134
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: No, they wanted to move at all while it heels.

135
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 6: So and then not to mention it gets into Now, okay,

136
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 6: how do you view practice. Let's say he does get

137
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: cleared to practice today, if he's not part of the

138
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 6: plan for Monday, why would you give him more than

139
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: what a handful of quarterback reps in today's practice. You

140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 6: need to get Philip Rivers ready, obviously with the storrying

141
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 6: offense right and Riley Leonard is one play away, so

142
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 6: Riley Leonard needs to get the scout team reps going

143
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 6: against the first team defense. So I think that's another

144
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: hurdle you have in this process. And I'm speaking more

145
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: from the cult side of it. If and when Richardson

146
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: is cleared and healthy and good to go, yes I

147
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: think you should be playing. But knowing how Shane psychin operates,

148
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 6: I do not see them all of a sudden saying, ah,

149
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 6: Anthony's back, here's thirty practice reps because we feel like

150
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 6: you're going to play week seventeen or week eighteen. Like,

151
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 6: I think this is a good point. I think this

152
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: is Philip Rivers' job at least through Jacksonville. Now, if

153
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: they were eliminated, maybe Week eighteen would look different, But yeah,

154
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 6: I assume this is Philip Rivers's job for at least

155
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: two more games.

156
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: I bring that up because honestly, I've had maybe half

157
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: a dozen people asked me that question in the last

158
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: thirty six hours, and I think the explanation from Shane

159
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: on Monday, a lot of people didn't hear that, and

160
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: what you guys talk about today, I get it. And

161
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: then then the follow up question for a lot of

162
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: people is are these the three quarterbacks the Colts will

163
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: have on the roster of the beginning of next year

164
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 2: as Daniel Jones works his way back, Anthony Richardson and

165
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard? Are those your two quarterbacks to start the seasons?

166
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: As Jones does start to get back, I'm not sure.

167
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 7: I guess his timeline would suggest that he could be

168
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 7: available by week one, So we'll see how that goes

169
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 7: throughout the offseason. But for now, just looking at the

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 7: next couple weeks, I understand everything you said, Kevin about

171
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 7: you know, I think Phillips has started for the next

172
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 7: two games. I think it's one game. Really, yeah, I

173
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 7: think I think we'll put it like this. I think

174
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 7: it should be one game.

175
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean that's that's a different answer.

176
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 6: Again, I was speaking from how I think Shane steiching

177
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: but bokay.

178
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 7: But here's the thing though, Even if sane and we

179
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 7: know he loves Philip River, and I don't fault him

180
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 7: necessarily for thinking outside the box and going to get

181
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 7: the guy who could be a Hall of Famer someday

182
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 7: to come back and run your offense. But if he

183
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 7: comes out and he looks just as limited, if not

184
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 7: more against the forty nine ers and they lose again,

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 7: and let's say Richardson practices this week, and he practices

186
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 7: next week, and he has two weeks of practice going

187
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 7: into the game against the Jaguars, it should be a conversation.

188
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 7: Absolutely in my opinion, I don't think you should. Just

189
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 7: you know, we're coming out next Tuesday after that game,

190
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 7: and he's telling us right off the bat Rivers is

191
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 7: our starter.

192
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 3: Wait wait, I agree.

193
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 5: With you, but.

194
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 6: We're talking about Shane Stikein This is true, and that's

195
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 6: where I have to pause, Like, that's where I don't Again,

196
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 6: I am with you on what I think they should do,

197
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: particularly as you laid out.

198
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 5: If it's as limited as it looks. You know, I

199
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: don't know if this is the best.

200
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 6: Analogy, but when I watch Philip Rivers play quarterback on Sunday,

201
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 6: and you guys will probably just say, oh, of course,

202
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 6: this is what you thought.

203
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: I feel like I was watching Tiger Woods play golf

204
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: in the year of twenty twenty five.

205
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 7: Okay, when you've added on that last caveat, I was like, okay,

206
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 7: wait a second here.

207
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 6: Like, there's the nostalgia, there's the coolness. You know, James,

208
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 6: your colleague Zact Keifer had it yesterday. It's the most

209
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: watched CBS game then market in five years for the colts.

210
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 5: Like, et cetera, et cetera.

211
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 6: It's a movie, but it also at times makes you

212
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 6: want to be like, damn, that movie isn't the most

213
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 6: uplifting movie. Throughout the entire sixty minutes of it, Tiger

214
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 6: can have three four hole stretches where it's like, look

215
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: at that he's turned back the clock. Did you see

216
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 6: the fist pump? It kind of looked a little awkward,

217
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 6: kind of like Philip Rivers celebrating a touchdown pass to

218
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 6: Josh Downs, Like, to me, I'm watching it, and those

219
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: are the vibes I get of, like you might have

220
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: around where Tiger, Wow, he shot seventy today. Well then

221
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: Tomorley wakes up and the back starts acting up and

222
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: he shoots seventy eight and he's done. And I don't

223
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 6: see twenty nineteen masters showing up for Philip Rivers.

224
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 5: I guess to continue the analogy further, Yeah.

225
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: And I just want to point it. I got caught

226
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: up in Sunday. That was fun. They had the lead,

227
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: it looked, especially when they hit that field.

228
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Go.

229
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, my wife and I are like, are they

230
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: gonna win a football game on the road in Seattle

231
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: with Philip Rivers as the quarterback? And then of course

232
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: the kickoff and the defense, and we get all that,

233
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: But then when you look back at it and you

234
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: look at just even the box score, as great as

235
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: the feeling was, and maybe maybe it did inject a

236
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: little bit of life into the entire team to do something.

237
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: They're swinging for the fences, they're doing something to get

238
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: it going. But two hundred and fifteen yards of total

239
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: offense is beyond pathetic, heaven not sustainable.

240
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, if you did that for seventeen weeks,

241
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 6: you'd be drafting for Nandal Mendozo.

242
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 7: And wouldn't that be something. Wuldn't that be quite the pivot?

243
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 7: But you actually would not be drafting in because you

244
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 7: don't have any first round picks.

245
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: So here's the scarier part though, too. And honestly, you

246
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: know defense is going to have to come and play,

247
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: and we need some improvement for Phillipic getting downfield or whatever.

248
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: But this team is in real danger of losing out

249
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: and going from a seven to one start to finish

250
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 2: an eight to nine. How crazy is that?

251
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 9: Can I ask you guys a question real quick? I

252
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 9: going back to this conversation with Anthony and Philip, I

253
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 9: guess when I look around the league, and especially it's

254
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 9: kind of timely with Kyle Shanahan coming in. I've seen

255
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 9: him have Nick Mullins come in and win a game.

256
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 9: I've seen him win games with Mac Jones. I think

257
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 9: Sam Darnold won a couple games off the bench when

258
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 9: party was hurt. Jimmy g and I understand Shane Steichen's thing,

259
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 9: like I got to get somebody that can run my system.

260
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 9: But I also seen Sean McVay bring in Baker Mayfield

261
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 9: for a Thursday night game with two practices really walk

262
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 9: throughs and win a game. And I don't what I

263
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 9: don't understand And maybe you guys can answer this is

264
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 9: what is the importance of, Hey, I need to have

265
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 9: somebody to run my system rather than how can we

266
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 9: throw something together to aid whoever's gonna play the quarterback

267
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 9: that week? Like and that's maybe that's an off season conversation,

268
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 9: but I but I feel like there's a certain hubris

269
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 9: and kind of arrogance in my opinion.

270
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: It's like, no, I have to have somebody that's gonna

271
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: run my system.

272
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's an It's a really interesting point, Caleb,

273
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 6: that you bring up. I've heard this general conversation start

274
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 6: to bubble up a little bit more this week of

275
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 6: wait a minute, why not be able to whatever dummy

276
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 6: down your offense too? And not even let's just say

277
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 6: let's throw Anthony out because of health reasons to Riley

278
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 6: Leonard for example, you know, can you get something of

279
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 6: a you know, Riley Leonard did not look horrific against Jacksonville.

280
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 6: I think we all can agree on that. Again, he

281
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 6: didn't fumble like Jonathan Taylor. He didn't have the worst

282
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 6: defensive effort of the season. I thought he got a

283
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 6: bad whistle. I thought that Michael Pittman push off was

284
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 6: an awful call in the end zone. I thought the

285
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 6: interception should have been simultaneous catch to Pittman, and like,

286
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 6: there are a lot of.

287
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: Things that went against him.

288
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 6: And so I have heard that from people of like,

289
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 6: you don't need to be at this Oxford graduate school level,

290
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 6: saying let's get it down to you know, Clay Junior

291
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 6: high Kevin Bowen education here and try to you know,

292
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 6: succeed with someone that, certainly from an athletics standpoint, would

293
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 6: offer much much more than Philip Rivers.

294
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 5: It is probably a little bit of a bigger picture.

295
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 6: Question, Caleb, just because I had this general thought entering

296
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 6: the season of like, again, do you need to get

297
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: the clarity on Richardson as a franchise building block? And

298
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 6: if you do, is part of your job as whatever

299
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 6: head coach play caller. Shane Syken was a huge believer

300
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 6: in Anthony Richardson. I think there's this misnomer that, like

301
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 6: Shane didn't want Anthony Richardson, is it your job to

302
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: maybe say, all right, we might not be able to

303
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,119
Speaker 6: get to page eighty two of the playbook.

304
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 5: But let's focus here on this, Let's.

305
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 6: See where the accuracy is at, let's see if he

306
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 6: can stay healthy, and let's try and win football games

307
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 6: in that man, some would probably push back on that,

308
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 6: but it definitely is a thought that crossed my mind,

309
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 6: particularly during the offseason in regards to Richardson, and now

310
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 6: it's showing up again in Wayne Rivers versus Leonard.

311
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we all saw limitations with Anthony

312
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: Richardson where he was in his development and the way

313
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: he was playing. But I also point out his overall

314
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: record as a starter is eight and seven. Not a

315
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: complete disaster, James. Now, they finished the season poorly last

316
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: couple of years, but they were in contention up until

317
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: about the last two three weeks of the season. Both

318
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: times too, it wasn't like it was just oh, this

319
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: guy is just terrible and we're not going anywhere at

320
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: any point in time.

321
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting debate, for sure, and one that we

322
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 7: will continue to have as the quarterback play plays out

323
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 7: over the next week or so. I'm very curious to

324
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 7: see how that goes. And again, you've hitched your wagon

325
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 7: to Philip Rivers in the honeymoon stage just starting to

326
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 7: wear off. You got to deliver if you brought that

327
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 7: guy in to win games.

328
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chus fifty five says to it just got bench

329
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: because he couldn't deliver. He has a much bigger contract

330
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: than Richardson. What makes you think the Colts really do

331
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: want to see him? No one else does that? Just

332
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: it feels like and I think speaks for no.

333
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: One else that like a certain portion of the fan base.

334
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: Because.

335
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 7: I still think people within the Colts organization should want

336
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 7: to see and do want to see Anthony Richson play football.

337
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 7: I can tell you that definitively. I mean, it isn't

338
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 7: just Shane psych and making the decision. I don't even

339
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 7: want to make it seem like Shane doesn't want to

340
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 7: see him play. I think there's a lot of factors

341
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 7: that play there. But yeah, I understand the frustration. People

342
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 7: remember the last time Anthony played, maybe not being that great,

343
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 7: and trust me it was not. I cannot sit up

344
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 7: here and tell you he played well his last extended

345
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 7: run on the field. But again, I just have a

346
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 7: hard time thinking that that would even be a conversation

347
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 7: of who would start if he had been healthy all along.

348
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels to me like almost economically, if

349
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: you if you think that you're going to get Daniel

350
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Jones back for the first part and sometime in the

351
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: first part of the season next year, you'd probably keep

352
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: Richardson and Riley Leonard at this point in time just

353
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: to bridge that gap, wouldn't you.

354
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Richardson is your starting quarterback in twenty

355
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 7: twenty six, is suddenly back on the table.

356
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: But we can digress.

357
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's just kind of where we're at. And

358
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: like I said, eight and seven record, I know we

359
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: didn't see what we wanted to see, especially at the

360
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: end of the year the last couple of years, but

361
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: it wasn't just an abject disaster, was it. Kevin.

362
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 6: You guys like Indiana Nights jerseys coming up Monday Night.

363
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: I loved that they could finally wear them at night.

364
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

365
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: I think you've spend a.

366
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 7: Few years since they did that whole marketing plan, and

367
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 7: I don't think they've ever played at night in those uniforms,

368
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 7: so at least it fits this time.

369
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: I love those new hats that they debuted a couple

370
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: of weeks ago.

371
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: To do you see those, I'd be lying if I did,

372
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: I mean they look them up.

373
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 6: I do like to look for for Monday night, good

374
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: good jersey match. I think the forty nine ers jerseys

375
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 6: are great. Now I really sound like Jake Quarry.

376
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: That's okay, we like Jake. All right, let's check it down. Okay, Well,

377
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: we got coming up in a minute, thad from Butler

378
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: to tell us how the Bulldogs are doing. But right now,

379
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: let's tell you what's going on.

380
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: The morning checkdown on ninety sweet five and one oh

381
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: seven five.

382
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: The fan colts back out of today. Philip Rivers continues

383
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: to start a quarterback for this team and everybody the

384
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: question everybody's been asking for the last couple of days.

385
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: Can he improve physically upon the performance that we saw

386
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: against the Seattle Seahawks. In other words, can he throw

387
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: the ball down feel a little bit more? Even in

388
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: the mid range throws where you're ten, twelve, fourteen yards

389
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: down too.

390
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: Well, the balls in the air long enough to pray

391
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 6: the rosary. And I think you're gonna have to do

392
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 6: that when you do on cork a few. But it

393
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 6: is absolutely a must. You have to create more. And

394
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 6: I don't know what that is at yack is the

395
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 6: yards after catch? Is it the Josh downs, double moves

396
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 6: to death? Yeah, I think those are all definite things

397
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: that you have just got to try and tap into.

398
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 6: And for what it's worth of San Francisco defense is

399
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 6: very nondescript, and they have had some issues this year,

400
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 6: particularly getting out for the quarterback. And Tennessee had over

401
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 6: six yards per carry on them last week.

402
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 5: Tennessee, I make touches.

403
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: We'll see Jonathan Taylor.

404
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: Get this week.

405
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: What do you have last week? Thirty?

406
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty eight something like that. If you can count

407
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 6: the catches too. Yeah, I mean it's got to be

408
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 6: set the over under it twenty four and a half

409
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 6: and see what happens.

410
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: I'll take the over on that. Also today we look

411
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: to see James if Sauce Gardner to Forrest Buckner are

412
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: edging closer and closer to returning to play.

413
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 7: Yep, we'll see if they're out there, as well as

414
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 7: Bernard Ryman with the rights elbow injury that he suffered

415
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 7: last week. So three key players for this team that

416
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 7: you would certainly like to have against the forty nine ers.

417
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: All right, excuse me to night, Rams and Seahawks play

418
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: both teams eleven and three as good as San Francisco is,

419
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: and we talk about their ten and four record and

420
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: how they've achieved that. These two teams are just on fire.

421
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: And the Rams right now might Kevin be playing the

422
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: best football in the NFL.

423
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: A huge game in terms of the one seed out there,

424
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: big game for the forty nine ers when you look

425
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 6: at it from that aspect of it as well. Two

426
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 6: big NFC games this weekend or tonight, of course, and

427
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 6: then Saturday Mars Bears against the Seattle or against the

428
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 6: Green Bay Packers. That's the Saturday night game. We'll get

429
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 6: two games on Saturday around the.

430
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 5: College football playoffs. So busy, busy Saturday of grid iron actions,

431
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: all right.

432
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: Also tonight the Pacers at home most of the New

433
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: York Knicks seven o'clock tip, six thirty airtime here at

434
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: ninety three five, one oh seveny five of the fan.

435
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: They've lost four of their last six. They'll play against

436
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: the Pelicans on Saturday. We've been talking about this all morning, James.

437
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: The Knicks winning the NBA Cup a couple of nights ago.

438
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Be interesting to see who does not play tonight, who

439
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: gets some rest, and who wants to heal up a

440
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: little bit, and we'll see what the Pacers can do

441
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: with maybe a dilape. I would say a degraded Knicks lineup,

442
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: perhaps fair and foul.

443
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: Not raised in the n Season Cup banner.

444
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: I like it.

445
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: I think they've basically said they're going to share that

446
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: trophy with their fans in the corridors, right. I think

447
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: that they're going to have a bit of a celebration

448
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: there and they wanted to share that with the fans

449
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: and be a part of it. But they they are

450
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: intent the next banner they raise, they want to raise

451
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: an NBA championship.

452
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 7: The other one, he thinks since the seventies, the other

453
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 7: two did raise it, right, Yeah, Lakers and Bucks.

454
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: Interesting, Nicks will be waiting for a long time. I think.

455
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, is this the year they might think

456
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: this is the year.

457
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it's wide open anees.

458
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, all right.

459
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: We've got the Chicago Bears saying that they may explore

460
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: a new stadium in northwest Indiana. This is a real

461
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 2: story that the Governor of Indiana has commented on. Kevin Warren,

462
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: the president of the Bears, had a lengthy letter yesterday

463
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: explaining that they have to look at it. In his words,

464
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: the Bears have to look at other options in the

465
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: area where the region is. The case might be because

466
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: they've been informed by the folks in the legislature up

467
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: in Illinois that they don't really plan on taking any

468
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 2: action on a new stadium anytime soon.

469
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 6: This in the text line, I can't wait for the

470
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,600

00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 6: below the belt a little bit?

473
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 7: But man, the belt it really does kind of it

474
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: really does sum up though, how bad things.

475
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: Have kind of been for that.

Speaker 2: Year, Indiana State plays basketball home tonight. That would be

488
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: a special game.

489
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: Kevin.

490
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: Indiana State the playing Bradley this season, looking forward to

491
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: that one. Uh, they've got a three game winning streak there,

492
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: five and oh at home. We'll see what happens there.

493
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: Southern Indiana hosting Little Rock and morgand news at Indiana

494
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: State too.

495
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 6: They got a Patrey Graves is on with John yesterday.

496
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 6: Sounds like he'll come back in full capacity. I believe

497
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: you said the Belmont game, which is I want to say,

498
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 6: the twenty ninth of December. So again, I don't know

499
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 6: Matt Graves, you know, directly, but I've always heard wonderful

500
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 6: things about him, you know, very sudden heart heard incident,

501
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 6: you know, a few weeks a few months ago, and

502
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 6: so he has not been on the sidelines yet the

503
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 6: season for Indiana State, who's had a nice start to

504
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 6: the season. Think there's seven and four in the non

505
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: conference there. So great to hear him back on the

506
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 6: airways with John. And then most importantly, his health seems

507
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 6: to be doing really really good and sounds like he'll

508
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 6: make you know, maybe an appearance tonight and then more

509
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 6: of a full time role back of that head coaching

510
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 6: duties coming up here in a little over a week.

511
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: Things looking up for in the United State and the

512
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: Sycamores right now. Coming up in a moment, we'll check

513
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: it on Butler basketball. Thad Mada joined us for his

514
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: weekly conversation. Bulldogs getting ready to play in a bigger

515
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: arena this weekend as well. We'll tell you all about

516
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: it next. Good morning, everyone, Welcome into a Thursday. That

517
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: means that eight thirty, it's time to talk to the

518
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: one only Thad Model, the head basketball coach of the

519
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: Butler Bulldogs, and we'll catch up with him. Come up

520
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: in just a few minutes. But Kevin, we've talked about

521
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: this last couple of weeks. They got something going on there.

522
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: I know they struggled in their last game out. I

523
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: guess a really good basketball team in Yukon, But I

524
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: kind of like what they got rolling right now.

525
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Jalen Jackson and Jay I do think is

526
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 5: a big one.

527
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 6: It's a lot on the plate of Finley Bizjack and

528
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 6: Michael Jay right now for Butler and Stink Robinson. You know,

529
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 6: the freshman is now being asked to start and obviously

530
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 6: handle the ball a whole lot here. So you know,

531
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: the big East doesn't have maybe as much top end

532
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 6: I think talent outside of Yukon, So there is some

533
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 6: opportunity I think for Butler to be up there a

534
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 6: pretty good non conference need to I think close it

535
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 6: out with a neutral court win over Northwestern coming up

536
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 6: on Saturday, and then you know, get a couple there

537
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 6: in the Big East. And if you do that right now,

538
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 6: if you look at the early bracketologies, they're kind of

539
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 6: sniffing right around bubble maybe slightly in the tournament and

540
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 6: some of those projections.

541
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had the conference lost seventy ninety sixties to Yukon,

542
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 2: but they've done well in the non conference, in the

543
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: conference tournament and not tournament schedules. Coming right up in

544
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 2: a hurry and joining us now is the head coach

545
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: for the Bulldog stat Mata Sad Good morning and welcome

546
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: into the Fan Morning Show. We were just talking about

547
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: the fact, I know you've got a couple of big

548
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: injuries over the last week or two, but for the

549
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: most part, you're pretty happy with how things have gone

550
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: this first part of the season.

551
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 10: You know, entries are part of it, and uh uh,

552
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 10: you know you you I'm kill And Sampson once told

553
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 10: me back. He was an oklahom mine because his Xavier.

554
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 10: He said, we're all sprained ankle away from mediocrity, and uh,

555
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 10: it's it's amazing what injuries can do. But uh, you know,

556
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 10: I like where we are right now. I think just

557
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 10: from the standpoint of you know, the the Yukon game

558
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 10: the other night was a was a good lesson for us.

559
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 10: I mean, we we have to play better, we have

560
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 10: to play tougher, we have to play stronger. Uh, you

561
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 10: know you're in in that environment and and uh you're

562
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 10: playing a great basketball team, and we know we didn't

563
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 10: get it done, so got to come back and get

564
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 10: ourselves ready to go on Saturday.

565
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: I want to go back to last Saturday, and we

566
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 6: haven't had the chance to chat with you since, but

567
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 6: that was one of the wilder games I've watched in

568
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 6: quite some time. And you've obviously coached over seven hundred

569
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 6: of them, so you probably have a little bit of

570
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 6: a different perspective on it. But I just thought that

571
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 6: hustle play Michael Jay made there in the second overtime

572
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 6: was just to me. If I were a coach, I'd

573
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 6: just be that's teach tape one oh one of what

574
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 6: you show your guys in creating a play there and

575
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: Evan Haywood obviously knocked at home after that. But what

576
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 6: did you make of just the back and forth nature

577
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 6: to what you guys had to go through on Saturday.

578
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 10: Well, if you remember I told you guys last week,

579
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 10: I said that that was gonna be one of the

580
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 10: most entertaining games in Hinkle. I had no idea level

581
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 10: and uh no, you know, I thought that that was

582
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 10: one of the most I don't know, like high powered

583
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 10: games that ever coached in just in terms of the

584
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 10: back and forth and some of the plays that were

585
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 10: made throughout the course of the game by both teams.

586
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 10: To be honest with you, and you know, it's funny.

587
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 10: After the Boise State game, uh, where we missed two

588
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 10: dunks in the first half to start the game, I

589
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 10: told the guys, I said, look, you know, next time

590
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 10: you miss the dunk, it's a suicide. Next practice, you

591
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 10: know where you run. I don't know if you say

592
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 10: that nowadays or whatever, but Gasser or whatever. And so

593
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 10: after the game, I told Michael, I said, look at

594
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 10: my discretion because you missed the dunk to play after it,

595
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 10: I'm not going to run you and uh, you know

596
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 10: that was that was a you know, just a high

597
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 10: level play on his part and just the awareness for

598
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 10: Jamie to kick it to Evan for a great wide

599
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 10: open shot, you know, and and uh uh it was

600
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 10: was please get out there with you know, our first

601
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 10: big East wind and and uh, you're always in this league, man,

602
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 10: you got to protect your home court. There's no question

603
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 10: about that.

604
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 7: That when you look at the performance against Yukon, when

605
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 7: you're facing those types of programs and obviously they've been

606
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 7: to where you want to go as far as you know,

607
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 7: being a perennial national contender and things like that, how

608
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 7: much of a measuring stick can that be when you

609
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 7: can show your players, Okay, here is a real, live,

610
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 7: in your face example of the level of play that

611
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 7: we have to try to get to.

612
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 10: You know, it's funny to ask that because it's part

613
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 10: of the teaching we want to do coming out of

614
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 10: that game, because you know, when when you play a

615
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 10: team like Yukon, when you make a mistake, they automatically

616
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 10: make you pay. And and that's something that you know,

617
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 10: you hope to take a page out of that book

618
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 10: because you know, we're we we took a bad shot

619
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 10: they hit it three at the other end. We turned

620
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 10: it over. They got to lay up at the other end.

621
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 10: You know, just those those little things we miss a

622
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 10: blockout and they get to rebound and hit it three

623
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 10: or get an in one. You know, those are the

624
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 10: things that that we've got to get ourselves to doing

625
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 10: where you know, we turn to we score at the

626
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 10: other end. Are really a great shot and you know

627
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 10: that is a very talented basketball team, There's no question about.

628
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: That, coach, from your perspective. You know, basketball is a

629
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: weird game because of shooting percentages sometimes, so you come

630
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: out red hot and you make five of your first

631
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: date and then just can't hit anything for like twenty

632
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: minutes of game time after that. Like, as a coach,

633
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: what can you try and do when your team is

634
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: just going through a cold spell like that? Well, you

635
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: have some.

636
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 10: Times sometimes you have a long cove of the man

637
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 10: upstairs and for yourself. But now, you know, it's funny

638
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 10: we had that, We had that segment where we missed,

639
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 10: we drove in, mister layup, got to read behind, mister

640
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 10: layup missed the tip in, and it's like, ooh, I'm

641
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 10: not sure this is our night tonight and but you know,

642
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 10: we rely on our shooting and our three points shooting,

643
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 10: and you know, he being one for eleven and a

644
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 10: half time, and we had some very good looks and

645
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 10: you know, those are the shots. And you know you

646
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 10: have nights where you you don't make shots, but you

647
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 10: know that's something that if you do that, man, it's

648
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 10: putting a lot of pressure on your defense every single possession.

649
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 10: And and you know, hopefully we don't have any more

650
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 10: shooting nights.

651
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: Like we head up there.

652
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 6: Again four o'clock on Saturday. Over there at Gamebridge Shield House,

653
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 6: it's Butler Northwestern and the Indie Classic. Obviously, the Old

654
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 6: Crossroads Classic has kind of turned into Butler and Purdue

655
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 6: at least carrying the Indie flag if you will, over

656
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 6: the NBA arena here, Coach, is this something you think

657
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 6: will continue for you guys playing uh, you know and

658
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 6: continuing the Indie Classic here over at Gamebridge?

659
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 10: Yeah?

660
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: I think so.

661
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 10: I mean, you know that actually we've played Wisconsin down

662
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 10: there this year in Northwestern. You know, I think it's

663
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 10: a it's a good neutral site game for us obviously

664
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 10: being here in town, and you know, gives our fans

665
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 10: an opportunity to come out and see us in a

666
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 10: different environment in Indy. So yeah, I like this game

667
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 10: for us because it's like I said, it's a it's

668
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 10: a high level neutral site game.

669
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: I like it. Coach, thanks as always for stopping by.

670
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: We appreciate these chats on Thursday mornings. Have fun on

671
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,480

00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:04,560

Speaker 2: Smith Brothers Furniture, Streams and Foster or Sterns and Fosters

678
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: should say, temper pedic mattresses free delivery to the entire

679
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: Indianapolis metro area. But it's also worth the drive down

680
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: to Columbus. If you're down there. Check them out Thompson

681

Speaker 2: Furniture dot Net. We appreciate them helping us out to

682
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: talk to Fad Mada every Thursday morning here at ninety

683
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: through five and one oh seven five the fan and

684
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: you talk about one of those nights you know, Yukon

685
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: is the fifth ranging team in the country, and when

686
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: you're just not hitting anything inside or outside for up

687
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: to sixteen eighteen minutes of game time for the most part,

688
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: havinga I don't know how you recover from that on it.

689
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a moment in the second half.

690
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 6: I remember Bizjack was wide open for three at the

691
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 6: top of the key. I think it would have got

692
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 6: it to I don't know, seven or eight. And maybe

693
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: it's one of those where Dan, certainly Dan Hurley atleast

694
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 6: would have blown a gasket, knowing Ham and then biz

695
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 6: Jack misses it and comes down and who knows ball

696
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: or Mullin's or somebody hits a three, and it's just

697
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 6: one of those like, Okay, you know, probably time to

698
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 6: get back on the plane and make sure you get

699
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 6: the class on time on Wednesday. So would not shock

700
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: me at all if we're talking about the Huskies calling

701
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 6: Indie home in that first weekend of April there, so

702
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 6: they look very very good. And again Indie Classic four

703
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 6: o'clock Butler Northwestern and then six thirty Perdue in Auburn over.

704
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 5: There, it's top twenty five matchup.

705
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: Auburn has a team that certainly ran Purdue out of

706
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: the gym last year in their way to making all

707
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 6: the way to the Final Four. A much different Auburn team,

708
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 6: but you know, can stress you in some ways. So

709
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 6: we'll see if Purdue can finish off their non conference

710
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 6: with another ranked win, another went away from home.

711
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: If you were listening to a fan morning show on

712
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: sports Radio ninety three to five and one oh seven five,

713
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: the fan.

714
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: Gonna be talking Pacers in a moment here with Scott Agnes.

715
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: And also, we got Monday night football game this week

716
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers coming down Thursday night.

717
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: I this us.

718
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: I like these later in the season games that they'll

719
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: have sometimes on Thursday night. This game tonight between the

720
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: Rams and the Seahawks, this just feels like pure entertainment

721
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: coming up. Don't the James Like? I want to see

722
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: two high level, high operating football teams just go at

723
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: it for sixty minutes.

724
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 7: Sounds like Davante Adams will not be available for this crew,

725
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 7: so I wonder how much of a factor that'll be

726
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 7: in a game that will likely decide their division race.

727
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah that We'll keep an eye on that and talk

728
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more about that later on. But in

729
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: the meantime, Scott Agnes does join us as he is

730
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: wont to do every Thursday morning at nine am here

731
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: on the Fieldhouse Files. That's where you can find his

732
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: stuff on ninety three five one seventy five the Fan.

733
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: We're happy to have him and have him tell us

734
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: about some of the stuff he's been working on. Pacers

735
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: have lost four of their last six. They had a

736
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: nice little stretch where they won four of six. We've

737
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: been talking about this all morning. What are the Knicks

738
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: going to look like when they come in tonight? Are

739
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: they going to be banged up? Are they going to

740
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: give some guys some rest after the NBA Cup? What

741
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: are we looking at for the Knicks this evening?

742
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 11: You know we might be looking at is a few

743
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 11: of them that have suffered the Vegas flu similar to

744
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 11: what is the Miami flu after they celebrated down there in.

745
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 10: Vegas with the THEA Cup.

746
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 11: For certain, Yeah, because you got four guys Jeff right

747
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 11: now on the injury report as questionable with anenobe, with heart,

748
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 11: with Robinson and with Towns as well. So it's one

749
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 11: of the hotter teams in the league. They've won five

750
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 11: in a row. They're coming off that Cup. But what

751
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 11: I do remember is those first few games after the

752
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 11: Pacers went through this, after they won and got to

753
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 11: the Cup finals, is they struggled for the next week.

754
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 11: Their first game was also on the road. It felt

755
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 11: like an extended road trip. So I would not expect

756
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 11: the Knicks to be at full strength, or or at

757
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 11: full focus for that matter, either.

758
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: Scott, have you ever had the vegas flu?

759
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't think I have.

760
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 11: I'm the struggle bus, but I have not had the

761
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 11: vegas flu like they could have the vegas flu.

762
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: All right, right, Well, vegas flu can stay with you forever.

763
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 5: So he ain't got that.

764
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: He ain't got that, Scott.

765
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 7: When you look at just the defensive effort, especially in

766
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 7: that Wizard's game, where do they need to be better

767
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 7: in that regard? Because I get that you're not gonna

768
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 7: make shots and you're playing with guys sometimes who are

769
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 7: probably G leaguers at best. But that defensive effort really

770
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 7: had my eyebrows raised, Like, what the heck am I watching?

771
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

772
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 11: I think it starts within within the players. Players have

773
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 11: to hold each other accountable. It's not a good sign.

774
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 11: Right when Rick Carlisle burns the time out, it feels

775
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 11: they weren't ready and uses the timeout just over one

776
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 11: minute into that game.

777
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: So I think it.

778
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 11: Starts with individual accountability, and then from there, guys have

779
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 11: to know their assignments. Guys have to be in their assignments.

780
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 11: It just looked like a sloppy, half hearted effort and

781
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 11: trying to get through the game rather than play the

782
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 11: game and win the game. And so the good news

783
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 11: is they've had a couple of days to think about it,

784
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 11: They've had a day off. This is just they've only

785
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 11: played three games in their last thirteen days, so this

786
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 11: should be as short up and as clean as they

787
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 11: have played and looked you would think since the season started.

788
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 11: Because of this NBA Cup, if you don't go to Vegas,

789
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 11: it's finally the first breather you're able to get since

790
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 11: the season tips off in mid October.

791
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 6: Scott Agnes's work Fieldhouse files where you can find it. Scott,

792
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 6: I want to shift gears to Caitlyn Clark back on

793
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 6: the court. Last week we saw her with the tm

794
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 6: USA camp. I was listening to Stephanie White with Jake yesterday.

795
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 6: Stephanie was one of the assistants down there, and it

796
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: sounded like not only Leah Boston, but Kelsey Mitchell had

797
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 6: a conflict or else she would have been at the

798
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 6: camp as well. What does that mean, I guess from

799
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 6: a USA calendar. Obviously we don't have the Olympics until

800
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 6: twenty eight. But could we see Caitlin Clark in any

801
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 6: public I guess five on five action between now.

802
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 5: And the start of the WNBA season.

803
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 6: Is there any USA stuff between now and then?

804
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 11: No, I don't think there is leading up to all

805
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 11: of that. This was kind of the first of many

806
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 11: camps that USA will be holding here leading up to

807
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 11: the World Cup qualifying and things like that.

808
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 2: And for a number of reasons.

809
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 11: One because you know how they're trying to put all

810
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 11: these parts together at the same time. They've got a

811
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 11: new managing director and Sue Byrd. They have a new

812
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 11: head coach in Kara Lawson, who's the head coach at Duke,

813
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 11: which is why she hosted everyone to rally there this

814
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 11: past weekend. But it was absolutely encouraging. I mean, it

815
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 11: was great to see Caitlin. We talked to her on

816
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 11: a zoom for about ten minutes and she was able

817
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 11: to talk basketball again, right like, no more golf questions,

818
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 11: no more real health questions other than how are you

819
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 11: doing in what progress have you made? And this is

820
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 11: as refreshing as it is for us as it probably

821
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 11: is for her. She said she's one hundred percent healthy,

822
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 11: that she was starting to feel like herself when she

823
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 11: was out there, just at times, you know, the wind

824
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 11: and not being in game rhythm and shape and such

825
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 11: obviously got to her, but that's totally expected. This is

826
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 11: if you look at the roster, Kevin, of the eighteen

827
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 11: players that participated, it's not even close to what the

828
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 11: final one will be. More than anything, it's to see

829
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 11: who has interest in it, who's willing to commit themselves

830
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 11: to a three day camp and put themselves in the

831
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 11: Because a lot of the top top players and Napiza

832
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 11: Collier who's still rehabbing from an injury, or Brianna Stewart

833
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 11: obviously will be involved, they had conflicts and did not

834
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 11: make it.

835
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 7: So, Scott, are you going to just break the news

836
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 7: now and say that Caitlyn made the national team and

837
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 7: she's officially a member of that because boy, seeing her

838
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 7: in that USA, I just feel like, you know, it's

839
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 7: probably a formality at some point in her career, right,

840
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 7: But how much. Do you think she's just appreciated having

841
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 7: that opportunity to do that again In all seriousness.

842
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think she smiled several times on the Zoom call,

843
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 11: just thinking and talking about the basketball and who she

844
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 11: was surrounded with. And here's the other thing I think

845
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 11: about is when she's with this group, she's with like

846
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 11: minded individuals who are who are at the best in

847
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 11: the world, who loved the game as much as her,

848
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 11: who are as talented as her, And so I think

849
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 11: that also would elevate how you feel about where you're

850
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 11: at in the game you're playing with that bunch. But

851
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 11: more than anything, it was another checkpoint in her return

852
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 11: here to basketball and.

853
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: Scott agusfield House files.

854
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 6: That's where you can find his work, Scott last one

855
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 6: for me, anything update wise, CBA WNBA, Where are we

856
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 6: at with that?

857
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 5: I felt like there was some sort.

858
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 6: Of hey, we're going to push it a few more

859
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 6: weeks and maybe around January it was going to be

860
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 6: the new timetable.

861
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, January is the next expiration date. They've already as

862
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 11: you discussed their renewed and continued on the current CBA.

863
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 11: Just to continue talks here, if you talk to one side,

864
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 11: if you talk to the league, they feel optimistic, they

865
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 11: feel positive about the way things are going, and obviously

866
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 11: are expressing that excitement and optimism if you talked to

867
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 11: the players Association. I saw an interview on CNBC with

868
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 11: the Players Association director, who was the exact opposite, was like, look,

869
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 11: we're going to hold hard in our stances. We do

870
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 11: not anticipate extending this deadline any further. We know what

871
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 11: we're worth and we want to be paid like it.

872
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 11: And so I think still there's a lot more and

873
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 11: we even understand to be hammered out at this point.

874
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 11: But the good news is with the extension here, it

875
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 11: allows all these players kb to be at the team

876
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 11: facility and to have communication with everyone. I think that's

877
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 11: imperative right now. We talked with Lexi Hall. She was

878
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 11: on a Zoom call for Unrivaled Media to day, as

879
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 11: was Kelsey Mitchell Aarry McDonald. They talked about being around

880
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 11: the facility, still being around everyone. So that is one

881
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 11: positive that has come from those extensions.

882
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 5: Scott Agnes Fieldhouse files James, you got.

883
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: One more, yeah, which is one quick one.

884
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 7: I know we've talked a lot about Caitlyn and her health,

885
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 7: but it sounds like Kelsey Mitchell is fully cleared and

886
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 7: all that. So did you have a chance to catch

887
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 7: up with her during her media availability with unrival to

888
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 7: just kind of gauge where she is after kind of

889
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 7: a scary ending to her season with the Fever.

890
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, she kind of deflected putting a specific timeline on

891
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 11: what she had did or what her benchmark was.

892
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 2: But she expressed appreciation for where she is.

893
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 11: How far she's come along, and now she has a

894
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 11: whole new appreciation and gratefulness for her health and what

895
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 11: it took to get there and to try to do

896
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 11: all the steps possible to prevent something like this from happening.

897
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 11: But as we all know, I think more than anything

898
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 11: that was just a burnt out. She had given literally

899
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 11: everything she could to that Fever franchise until her body

900
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 11: said no more. But she too will be playing and Unrivaled.

901
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 11: She signed up like Sophie Cunningham from Project B. But

902
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 11: that's nothing that will be really much talked about for

903
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 11: about eleven months. That's scheduled to start I think next November,

904
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 11: mostly overseas kind of as a touring group. So her

905
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 11: next thing along with Lexi, Mikayla Timpson Servant is an

906
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 11: alternate by the way of unrivaled.

907
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: So there's four of.

908
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 11: Them that will play there over in Miami, and right

909
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 11: now they're kind of having a mini training camp.

910
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: Get to know he, get to know each other.

911
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 5: I like to get to know you other than any

912
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 5: of that.

913
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 6: Scott agnsfield House Files, Scott, last thing, last last thing,

914
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 6: because I've said that already to you. If I'm reading correctly,

915
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 6: Red Panda is going to be at the Colts game

916
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 6: coming up, halftime show Monday night read panned in a

917
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 6: football stadium.

918
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 5: Are you good with that?

919
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 2: That's interesting?

920
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 5: How's that going to work on the turf? I'm a

921
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 5: little I don't know.

922
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 6: Maybe the Philip Rivers tripping on the logo has me

923
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 6: worried from last week.

924
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 5: I'm a little worried about the unicycle on the turf.

925
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 11: But what they got to do with facilities, Obviously we'll

926
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 11: have a temporary platform that is flat that they've got

927
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 11: to drop out there, much like it's the Hall of

928
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 11: Fame induction and they put a platform out there.

929
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 6: That's thought it would have to be for sure. Look

930
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 6: at you, you are all over it. Honestly, Lucas all

931
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 6: should hire you to run their halftime shows. Scott agnesfield

932
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 6: House Files Scott, thank you man, you got it.

933
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,200

961
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,120

00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 6: with your host family right up there in Fishers exactly.

00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 12: I was a former foreign exchange shoot and Fishers still

965
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 12: stay with them every once in a while, and they

966
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 12: were still happy to have me back, So that's very

967
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 12: nice of them.

968
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, I saw the schedule last.

969
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 12: March for the Monday night football game and the Jaguars

970
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 12: game later this week.

971
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 4: Couldn't resist.

972
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 5: So two home games in six days.

973
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 7: So I have to ask when you booked this travel

974
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 7: a month ago, Lucas.

975
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, things are.

976
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: Looking a little different.

977
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: So how do you feel about.

978
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 7: Philip Rivers being brought in and trying to save the season.

979
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I'm going to be completely honest. I was

980
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 12: very excited when I saw that Rivers was going to

981
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 12: get signed because I became a Colts fan in twenty nineteen. Actually,

982
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 12: I became a Colts fan on the day Andrew Luck retired.

983
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 3: You you are a true fan?

984
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember this story. You shared this in February.

985
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 6: Can you explain this because there are a lot of

986
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 6: Colts fans that think that's when you became a fan.

987
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 5: Do we need to play you Luck so share this?

988
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I saw of feel like I'm the problem

989
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 12: with that at that point.

990
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: But yeah.

991
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 12: So the day I arrived for my exchange year, and

992
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 12: that was in two and nineteen, I knew already a

993
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 12: lot about sports.

994
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: But not necessarily about the NFL.

995
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 12: But then we drove past Lucasol Stadium from the airport.

996
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 12: It's like, oh, there's a stadium with my name on it.

997
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 12: That's pretty cool. And at that moment as we drove past,

998
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 12: we were listening to you know, the radio here and

999
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 12: at the news broke that you know, Andrew Luck retired,

1000
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 12: and my host family, knowing about football.

1001
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 4: They were like, what's happening and.

1002
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 12: You know, and then following the news later that day,

1003
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 12: I was like, Okay, I have to find out who

1004
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 12: is this guy and what's happening here? And stayed on

1005
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 12: with the Colts ever since. So yeah, but to answer

1006
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 12: your question, you know, a year after that, of course,

1007
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 12: if the Rivers came in and that's still the.

1008
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 4: Only playoff game I've seen him play being a fan,

1009
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 4: so yeah, I mean that's for me.

1010
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 12: I don't really pick any favorite players, but that was

1011
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 12: if I had to say, a fun Colts quarterback I've

1012
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 12: seen play as of being a fan. Yeah, I'm excited

1013
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 12: to see Rivers in person this time. That is Lucas

1014
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 12: from the Netherlands. He's over here to take in a

1015
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 12: couple of Colts games. Have you been inside of Lucoso

1016
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 12: Statum for a Colts game yet? I've been back in

1017
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 12: twos and twenty two, yes, for the Commander's game, got It,

1018
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 12: which was a different season as well, but well.

1019
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 7: Different as an understatement, brother, but yes, it was very

1020
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 7: was that Taylor Heineke?

1021
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, and that was when the McLaurin caught that touchdown pass, So.

1022
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was Ellinger.

1023
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: I think that was an Allen played that game too.

1024
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a Jeff. That wasn't a Jeff Saturday,

1025
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: specially not yet, Lucas.

1026
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 6: They need to put you on the JumboTron or something

1027
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 6: on on on Monday Night. Here for some of what

1028
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 6: you've seen here. And you were at the game over

1029
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 6: in Hell. You saw the last Colt twin right, you

1030
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 6: were at the game in Germany earlies. What did you

1031
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 6: think of that experience? Did you go to the Frankfurt

1032
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 6: game the year prior?

1033
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 12: I did go to the Frankfurt game in twos and

1034
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 12: twenty three, yes, and what do you.

1035
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,959
Speaker 6: Think of just Frankfurt Berlin. Obviously that was a super

1036
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 6: entertaining game and Falcons well.

1037
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 12: And obviously we were the home team in Berlin on

1038
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 12: paper right, so that way the Colts were able to

1039
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 12: do something more marketing being the home team having a

1040
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 12: bigger fan, So yeah, I noticed that that was that

1041
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 12: was great. So speaking of you know, fan experience wise,

1042
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 12: Berlin was definitely greater as in the rule, both fantastic,

1043
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 12: but Berlin was bigger, was better, and we sort of

1044
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 12: got to know each other, our European fans from Germany,

1045
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 12: from England and we got to know each other and Frankfurt,

1046
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 12: but then we stayed in touch over a huge group

1047
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 12: chat we have in our Blue Crew Europe. They're listening

1048
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 12: right now, so shout out to them.

1049
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 5: Shout out to the Blue Crew in Europe. I think

1050
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 5: I hopped on one of the podcasts with Yeah exactly

1051
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 5: right before the game.

1052
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 12: And Yeah, so we sort of stayed in touch with

1053
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 12: each other, and then that Berlin game sort of felt

1054
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 12: like a reunion, and I feel like there's going to

1055
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 12: be a lot more of those in the future, when

1056
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 12: the Colts might come to Germany again in the future.

1057
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 5: I've said this before.

1058
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 6: I'm not saying this because you're sitting next to me,

1059
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 6: but I am a fan of the International Games. I

1060
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 6: think it's a great exposure. I went to the Colts

1061
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 6: game in Wembley back in sixteen and it was awesome

1062
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 6: to see, you know, just how much joy frankly was

1063
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 6: there by once in a lifetime for some people, certainly,

1064
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 6: you know. Bernard Ryman shared the story about how his

1065
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 6: NFL career or NFL dreams, I should say, really kind

1066
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 6: of took off once he went to one of those

1067
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 6: International Series games. If I gave you three europe Series,

1068
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 6: three European cities, I would say, don't be biased, but

1069
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 6: I know you might be a little biased to your homeland.

1070
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 6: Three European cities that the NFL has yet to go

1071
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 6: to that you would like to see them, Okay, go

1072
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 6: to what would be your three and and make it

1073
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 6: somewhat realistic.

1074
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: Here, make it somewhat realist, not like.

1075
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 6: You know, we're talking about the Beech Grove Bears all

1076
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 6: morning long, or you know Lebanon Bears here.

1077
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 4: So being realistic. Let's see.

1078
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 12: I think Paris Is one is high on their list,

1079
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 12: you know, if you have to believe rumors on social media.

1080
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and don't worry, Lucas. I'll relate as message

1081
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 7: to carl As Gordon. Get it all square away for

1082
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 7: my next Colt travel but continue.

1083
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 5: We can to have a game in France. So so

1084
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 5: Paris on there all right?

1085
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, if you read on the internet that supposedly that's

1086
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 12: going to happen very soon, so we'll see if that

1087
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 12: is that there's any truth to that. They're also growing

1088
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 12: their fan base in in in Spain.

1089
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 4: Of course.

1090
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 12: We had the Madrid game between the Dolphins and the

1091
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 12: Commanders earlier this year, and they're building some fantastic stadiums

1092
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 12: there there. The Barcelona still Stadium is still under construction,

1093
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 12: but I think once that's finished, I might do a

1094
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 12: Barcelona game as well. So I'll put Barcelona into well

1095
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 12: and then my book Jim you know, if this one might.

1096
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 4: Be not as objective as the others.

1097
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 12: But let's put Amsterdam just you know, if we can

1098
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 12: play in Frankfurt, we can play in Amsterdam.

1099
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 5: What is the biggest stadium in Amsterdam?

1100
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 4: Is it?

1101
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess the Frankfort stadium was only what

1102
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 6: like forty thousand people.

1103
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 12: Frankfurt is fifty thousand seats.

1104
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 5: Does Amsterdam have a city or a stadium that's that

1105
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 5: big r.

1106
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, Amsterdam, being the capital of the Netherlands, has the

1107
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 12: biggest stadium sixty thousand people. So you know, if you

1108
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 12: can't play in Frankfort, you can't do it in Amsterdam.

1109
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 12: I do think you have to. You know, there'll be

1110
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 12: more interactional people coming there, like you know, like people

1111
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 12: people from for like England or Germany traveling in, or

1112
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 12: if you sent one of the big teams over, like

1113
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 12: the Chiefs or the Patriots, you might sell it out.

1114
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,640
