1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: You were listening to the Best of the Fan morning

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: show on ninety three five and one oh seven five

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: the Fan.

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Indeed, it is Tuesday morning. I almost feel like declaring

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: this victory Tuesday. We don't get to do this in

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 2: the first week of a season very often. This just

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: might be victory week, Kevin Bowen, let's just keep it rolling.

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: Well, I know who it's not victory Tuesday for.

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: Oh you went there right off the bat on a

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning at seven o'clock, straight up, Old Kevin.

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 4: Bowen looked, you want to wait ten minutes before we

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 4: get into it. Do you remember what everything console and

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: one Tuesday ago? Do you remember I think he had

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: a special intro for Notre Dame losing to Miami.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 3: And if you went to bed anytime during that game,

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: really before Cairo Santos missed that field goal, you woke

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: up and said, how the hell did the Bears didn't lose?

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 5: If you know anything about the Bear, you this, Yeah,

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 5: I'm twisting a knife a little bit, but you know this.

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 5: You're not wondering how he looked dead. You're you're convinced

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 5: that the Bears do this every year.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: They're the Bears, and so Mark, I'm thinking, this is

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: how I'm picturing last night going. Caleb Williams starts the

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: game off ten for ten, seven to three. They've got

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: the ball back, Mark putting sunglasses on at home, just

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: like the old Jim McMahon. He's feeling it right there,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: and just slowly it starts to unwind in the third quarter,

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: late in the third quarter into the fourth and it

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: just he's a piling, just gob of goo by the

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: end of the by the.

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: End of the night, the way to describe you, he

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,639
Speaker 3: just just melted it down into the corner.

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I saw it happen.

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 6: Was just watching the momentum slowly shift and I'm like,

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 6: here we go, here we go, and sure enough, there

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 6: it is. It happened again. And I'm like, more things change,

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 6: the more they stay the same. And like James said,

38
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: if you're a Bears fan, you're just used to it

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 6: at this point where you're like, I can't have good things,

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 6: the vibes. They no one can ruin good vibes like

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 6: the Bears can. In week one, and sure enough they

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 6: found a way because you're like, all right, we got

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 6: the pick six and it's almost like the pick six

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 6: made the Vikings get better. All of a sudden they

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 6: threw that pick six, and it's like the Bears should

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 6: be on cruise control and instead the Vikings are like, okay,

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 6: now to start playing. And then the Bears just couldn't

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 6: stop getting penalties, and Caleb Williams's accuracy downfield was concerning,

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 6: and the running game wasn't that great. And you're Owen one,

50
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 6: and Yippie Kaye, here we go.

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 2: And I was going to wait till like seven oh three.

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: I was just going to continue the momentum of Colts

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: fans and being in Indianapolis. But your good friend Kevin

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Bowen here to my left, looked right across the console

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: into your eyes and and just chose violence.

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 6: And I totally accept it because I would have done

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 6: the same thing when and if Notre Dame loses on Saturday,

58
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 6: he can expect a similar rejoinder on Monday.

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: Are you doing this morning, James boy?

60
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: Just think twice before him send old Maddie Bowen on

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: the old text.

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: He will not let that go. Karma is a dangerous game.

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: Does karma ever get its ultimate pay? Ackers is just

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: continually flowre game.

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Karma is a dangerous game.

66
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Wow. So with that, good morning and happy Tuesday everyone.

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: We're off and running here in the Fan Morning Show

68
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: with Kevin Bowen, James Boyd, and the cruppled Mark dyked

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: in this morning you'll you'll rebound by the Who Show though.

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: I believe is how he described Caleb Williams.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: If we're with your kids or with no because it

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 2: just started to slowly melt like candlewaxs just melting down

73
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: into that, you know, whatever's left shot.

74
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: Shout out to Ryan Kelly. All the Colts are winning

75
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: on opening weekend, right.

76
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so far.

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: They had a couple of moments, Mart, He had a

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: couple of penalties.

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: You're not sored all this morning, are you? Mark?

80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: I think that's such a tough call for defensive wyman.

81
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: There was a play on Sunday with a Forest Buckner

82
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: I think got two in the head and was so nervous,

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: looked right over the raft thinking, oh no, are you

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: going to call that? I think that's one of the

85
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: tougher penalties for for defensive lineman. They're straighting like none other,

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: try to get the sack, and then all of a

87
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: sudden that he like grazed the helmet and I go, oh,

88
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: there's fifteen yards.

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: And don't think that if a guy's not winning his matchup,

90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: he might just kind of help those offensive lineman's arms

91
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: up into like his chin area in the face mask area,

92
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: don't you think, James, Well, I'm talking about defensive lineman hitting.

93
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: That's that's on. Well, but either way, either way, I've

94
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: seen defensive linemen that'll that'll force a you know, hands

95
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: to the face on an offensive lineman. Sometimes too, I've

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: seen that happen.

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, quarter about hijacking the first two minutes.

98
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: That's where we're That's what we're at because what it

99
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: means is the NFL is back, and we're all watching

100
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: record setting numbers of the first weekend with all the

101
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: different ways to watch, whether it's Amazon, whether it's YouTube,

102
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: whether it's Peacock, NBC, ESPN. The numbers are going crazy

103
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: right now. So people love the NFL. People are fine

104
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: if the NFL. Look the NFL built Fox Network, people

105
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: will find the National Football League. If your team's on,

106
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: people are going to go pay for that service. They're

107
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: going to find it. It's just what they do.

108
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: And well, we got Packers' Commanders Week two here Thursday

109
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: night football, couple of Monday night games here in week

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: two and the Colts and Broncos. That's a sneaky little

111
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: four o'clocker now, Kevin Harlan in company, Trenton Green, Melanie

112
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: Collins on the call here again four o'clock. So the

113
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: Colts not living in the one o'clock Sunday time slot

114
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: endlessly here this season like they did last year. And

115
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: we'll start shift gears here to week two.

116
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: I'll ask you guys real quick and we'll go into

117
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: detail coming up in the checkdown. But anything we need

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: to know about from camp yesterday as far as lingering, soreness, injuries,

119
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

120
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: Mooney Ward and concussion protocol. So the Javarious Ward, he

121
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: did go in the blue tent, I think in the

122
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: second quarter if I remember correctly, finished the game, went

123
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: back in the game, developed some concussion like symptoms yesterday.

124
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: So start that process.

125
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: I think at this point we're kind of used to

126
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: concussion protocol is to each their own, and typically guys

127
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: don't make it through in a week. We'll have to

128
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: see exactly how that goes for him, and cornerback depth

129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: will be tested James, because we saw Jaylen Jones also

130
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: suffer a hamstring injury to the same hamstring he missed

131
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 3: multiple weeks in camp, so corner depth could be tests

132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: in a week two. Although I don't think this opponent

133
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: will stress you too too much in that area.

134
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 5: I think they might just a little bit, just because

135
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: they still have bon Nicks and you know, Corton will

136
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: Settling and others.

137
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: But I'm not a big Bonex guy.

138
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: You know, he's very up and down, and the last

139
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: year was his rookie season, and obviously I watched a

140
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 2: lot of their games. Towards the end of the season

141
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: he started playing really well. Didn't play well at all

142
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: in Week one, and really Sean Payton's looking for kind

143
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: of the same thing that Shane Steichen is looking for.

144
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Just stay on schedule, make the right read, stay on schedule.

145
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: He's not afraid to go downfield, but he doesn't make

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: the right read all the time.

147
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 7: We'll see.

148
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: I mean, you take advantage of your opponent's deficiencies. So

149
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 5: if they're down a couple of cornerbacks, you're gonna probably

150
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 5: gona put the other ones to the test. So this

151
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: is one again that Xavin Howard's signing looks huge now,

152
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 5: considering the injuries, you already have to the cornerback room,

153
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: and then you'll see who that next person could be up.

154
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: I believe Makatt Blackman got in there a few times, Kevin,

155
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: could he be the other cornerback if you're going to

156
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: go Makay Blackman Xavion Howard impossibly? You know obviously Kenny

157
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: Moore in the slot.

158
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: And we'll see bout Jonathan Edwards, the undrafted free agent

159
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: out of Indiana State Tulane where he ended his collegiate career.

160
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 3: He was an active on Sunday, but you would think

161
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: he could very well make his NFL debut. So yes,

162
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: corner depth, corner injury wise, will be a storyline here

163
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: coming up in week two.

164
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: All right, and we're gonna talk if you missed it yesterday,

165
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: we had a conversation with Kenny Moore the second and

166
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: we will let you hear that conversation for the folks

167
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: in the seven o'clock hour that are on their way

168
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: to work and they have to get things done. After that,

169
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: we will let you Evestrup on that coming up a

170
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: little bit after seven thirty. So we've got that going

171
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: on and later on at nine o'clock today, Pat Boiler

172
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: is gonna stop by. Mark Dyke then talk to us

173
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: a little bit about the Fever getting ready for the

174
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: playoffs and no Caitlin Clark. And they've had five season

175
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: ending injuries. Think about that for essentially a twelve person roster, Kevin,

176
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: five season ending injuries like that, that's just devastating to

177
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: any team. The fact that they've made the playoffs is

178
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: almost unreal.

179
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really a remarkable story that the Fever have

180
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: been able to put it together. Kelsey Mitchell, I think

181
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: deserves tons and tons of praise for her just individual

182
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: workload that she's produced. I believe set a franchise or

183
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: a WNBA record for most double digit scoring games in

184
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: a single season. And Stephanie White, you know, for kind

185
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: of the mass unit that she seemingly has to deal

186
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: with night in, night out. So it sounds like tonight

187
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: it'll be a little bit of a scaled back Minnesota

188
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: Lynx a roster so on a piece of Colli you're

189
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: not going to play in this game, and the Fever

190
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: will happily take the rest into the playoffs as they

191
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: figure out exactly where they'll slot in on the road

192
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: for round one.

193
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: And James Boyd. The one thing that has kept this

194
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: Fever team going in credit to the build in the offseason.

195
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: Despite all the injuries, they still have three of their

196
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: starting five. When you look at Howard, Boston and Mitchell,

197
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: they could start on any team in the league, either

198
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: of those three.

199
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the players, you just name two of

200
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 5: them when it comes to you know, Mitchell and Boston,

201
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: they're they're stars. They're all stars for any all stars.

202
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's not a surprise at all. And we'll

203
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: see again the season finale. Regular season finale is tonight

204
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 5: against the Links, and then we'll see how all the

205
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: playoff standings shake out again. The Fever can't fall any

206
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 5: further than the seventh seed at this point, so we'll

207
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 5: see if anything changes there. But remarkable season for them

208
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: despite all of the injuries.

209
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: All Right, coming up in a moment, we'll have our

210
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: first checkdown out of the day. We've got to Kenny Moore.

211
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: The second, we'll replay that interview if you missed it

212
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 2: in the nine o'clock hour yesterday, we'll do it just

213
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: after seven.

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: Third, I'll let Mark simmern one in the break.

215
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: I knew this was coming. I was trying to get there.

216
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: I could see it. Well, I was wrong with that

217
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: Bears score. I'm now looking at quarterbacks for the next

218
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: year's draft to see who the Bears will calm down

219
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: with the third pick. Chicago's where quarterbacks go to die.

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson didn't draft them, so he's gonna want a

221
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: new quarterback.

222
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 6: Are there concerns?

223
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: Yes?

224
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 6: Am I throwing in the towel when he's in his

225
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 6: first week of his third new offense in three years.

226
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 8: No?

227
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 6: Yes, the accuracy needs to get better on the deep ball,

228
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 6: but let's pump the brakes away.

229
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: There is nothing that will test a fan more than

230
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: your week one reaction to your team. Nothing will test

231
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: a fan more than your good or bad. How do

232
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: you react to your team in week one? Mark? Good

233
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: luck today?

234
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 6: Thank you? Yes, I felt like you against you know,

235
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 6: Notre Dame a few weeks ago, and I'm like, Okay,

236
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 6: been there, done that. You can't hurt me anymore. I've

237
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 6: been hurt too many times.

238
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: Well, that was last Tuesday. I remember it quite well,

239
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: nice little Labor Day Tuesday. And as soon as you

240
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: played all that audio, I thought to myself, hmm, Monday

241
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: night against.

242
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: The like Mark, the Bears fan, He's like, he's like, yeah,

243
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: he at this one. He's just forever got his head

244
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: slumped down walking in embraced it.

245
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 6: I'm embracing. I like to be optimistic. I'm also bracing

246
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 6: for the worst. Iantham from Jim Cornelisson. He killed always

247
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 6: as usual, always he doesn't missed circumstances look great. He

248
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: had the eighty five Bears in the building, and then

249
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 6: the Bears just went down their leg in front of

250
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 6: National TV, as they tend to do on an annual basis,

251
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 6: to break.

252
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 7: I do know.

253
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: It's a dangerous game, and continued a moment ninety three

254
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: to five, one oh seven five the fan. The fireworks

255
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: are starting early, Mark duck Don bouncing back nicely from

256
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: that rough just vicious attack by Kevin Bowen right out

257
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: of the gate at seven o'clock this morning, I'll recover

258
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: watching the Bears last night just get viciously attacked by

259
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: the Vikings.

260
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 6: Well, that's what it's called head on collisions. That's what

261
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 6: I feel like I was in the last got twelve hours.

262
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but James Boyd, you and I were just sitting

263
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: back watching it all unfold in front of us. I

264
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: thought there was gonna be that there were gonna be

265
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 2: fists flying for a minute there.

266
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 7: Oh no, Mark is a veteran bear. Sans are used

267
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 7: to this.

268
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, every year they lose in some epic way. The

269
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: only funny part about it to me, in all seriousness,

270
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 5: is watching my family get so excited and hyped up

271
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 5: no matter what happens.

272
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 7: It's like they go off the deep end at the.

273
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: End of the season, and then by the beginning of

274
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: the next season they're all on board again. And then

275
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 5: I can you know, tell that my uncle who was

276
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: texting me last night, I told you diehard fan, Mark

277
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 5: his number. He's texting me in the game, like you know,

278
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 5: and I'm just reading his stream of conscious thoughts and

279
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 5: he was very upset what was going on.

280
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: It's interesting because I think every fan base wants to

281
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: get excited, and obviously the Colts fans have been a

282
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: little beaten down over the last five six years or so,

283
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: and we had noticed that there was this kind of

284
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: sense of apathy heading end of the season. And you know,

285
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: despite the great win on Sunday and Jim Mersey being honored,

286
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: there were there were a lot of fans dressed up

287
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: like blue seats for a home opener this past weekend,

288
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: which was surprising. So my question to you, Kevin Bowen,

289
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: if they can repeat anything like that against the Denver

290
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: Broncos and come out of this one, two and oh,

291
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: does everybody jump right back on the Colts bandwagon at

292
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: that point in time? Yeah?

293
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: I think I have. Yeah, I think you have a

294
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: lot of people that you know, they want to live

295
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: in the you know, short term fandom thrill of it

296
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: all and celebrate, you know, a month of September like

297
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: this franchise hasn't had in in eons, and you know

298
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: that it's probably a difficult.

299
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 7: Exercise because quite a word, Derek Kevin, I like that.

300
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: Some people also consider here and say, yeah, you know

301
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 3: whatever one and oh, two and oh okay, Like do

302
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: you just love on the short term or is there

303
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: any acknowledgement of well, you know what about that long term?

304
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: And others might say, yeah, that conversation, you can wait,

305
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: put that on the back burner. And that's kind of

306
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: what I was with yesterday, even of like the hey,

307
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: wait is this real? Are the Colts that good? Are

308
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: the Dolphins that bad? I'm like, who cares? On this

309
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 3: Monday let's just sit here, basket it. You've never had

310
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: any sort of you know, Monday to start a season

311
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: like this and in quite some time. But yeah, I

312
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: do think you will see fans start to you know,

313
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: want to live and that I thought might commute down

314
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: on Sunday. I thought it was one of the smoothest

315
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: like traffic into a one o'clock game that I've ever had.

316
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: And you know, you mentioned some of the empty seats

317
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: that you had there, but once you start winning, you

318
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: will definitely get that.

319
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 5: So to not push back on that, but to kind

320
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 5: of spend on that idea, when do you ask the question? Okay,

321
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: because I threw it out there after oh my story,

322
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: when is it okay to hope? And how much hope

323
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: should you have even just going into week two? Because

324
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: we can sit here and look up in ten weeks

325
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: and say that the Dolphins are just stink. But even then,

326
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: my counter to that, Kevin and Jeff, is that if

327
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: they are that bad, then you're supposed to bet them

328
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: that bad.

329
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: Well again, that NFL teams don't do what the Colts did.

330
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.

331
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 5: Okay, say the Dolphins are garbage, that's just supposed to

332
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: do to go, You're supposed to beat him down. So I

333
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: feel like you should have a healthy level of optimism

334
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 5: going into Week two. But at the same time, there's

335
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 5: that scar tissue there, you know what I mean, Like

336
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: you don't want to get too ahead of yourself.

337
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: The NFL's just a grind. I mean, seventeen.

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 5: Weeks is apps you've been in locker rooms like dog years. Yeah,

339
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: and you win a game, it's the highest level of

340
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: jubilation you'll see. You lose a game, it is like

341
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 5: going to a funeral afterwards, and you could be undefeated

342
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 5: for a month.

343
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: If you lose a game in the NFL, it is crushing.

344
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: Like just take two sides of the week one overreactions.

345
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: Last year, absolutely, the New Orleans Saints scored forty seven

346
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: I believe in Week one. They put up over forty

347
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: in Week two and Dennis Allen became the first head

348
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: coach fired last season. That's how quickly it turned for them.

349
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: Go back a handful of years. Go to the Colts.

350
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: They lose Week one in Jacksonville. That is a Jacksonville

351
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: team that turned out to be one in fifteen. And

352
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: that's a Colts team that turned out to be a

353
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: player away from winning a playoff game that year. Despite

354
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: losing to the lowly Jags week one, they won what

355
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: ten games that year with Philip Rivers and ended up

356
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: making the playoffs. And I thought, very easily, outside of

357
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: Josh Allen's heroics and that wildcard game, could have won that.

358
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: So you know, that's just kind of how the NFL

359
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: cycle works. And you know, I know Shane Stegeb, you know,

360
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: played first team yesterday, played the clip from Daniel Jones

361
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: after the game of saying, hey, you know, sustaining success

362
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: is a huge, huge part of this league. And you

363
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: know it sounds super cliche, but you do have to

364
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: get back to the drawing board. And you know, James,

365
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: that schedule is set over your right shoulder for the

366
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 3: last few months.

367
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: Now.

368
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: Every time I'm looking at you, I can't help a

369
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: glance at it. And you know, I have the Colts

370
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: four and two to start the season. I just think

371
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: there's great opportunity there. Now, this is one of the

372
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: ones that I thought would be a hiccup, but I'm not.

373
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: I don't think Denver by any means is going to

374
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: come in here and just walk all over the Colts.

375
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: I think the Colts have a great chance again. I'm

376
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: not overly impressed by Denver's offense. And if there's ever

377
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: a week to be banged up a corner, I would

378
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: put this week up there. I don't view bow Knicks,

379
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: Courtland Sutton, you know, Troy Franklin, Marvin Memes. I'm sure

380
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: I'm forgetting some others.

381
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: Those are the big three.

382
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't view that as like, if you were going

383
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: to say, hey, which week would you rather be banged

384
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: up a corner? Miami or this week? I would have

385
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: said this week overwhelming the point compared to Miami. So

386
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: we'll see again. Javeri's warden concussion protocol for those that

387
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: missed it, some symptoms he developed yesterday, and then Jalen

388
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: Jones sounds like he's going to miss some time.

389
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's check the fan text line for the first

390
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: time this morning, two three, nine, ten seventy people checking

391
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: in from all over the state, all over the country.

392
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Rick says he's looking forward

393
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: to this weekend Morning Guys listener from Tampa. I'll be

394
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: meeting my sister in Indy this weekend. She's hailing from Wisconsin.

395
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: But She's a Broncos fan since the Lway days and

396
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: me a Colts fan since the Jim Harbaugh days. She's

397
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: always said to me, growing up culture, just baby Broncos.

398
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: We need this win. Also, we have dinner reservations at

399
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: Saint almost Saturday night. Other than the shrimp cocktail. Kevin

400
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 2: talks about what else should we try? I'm pumped, like,

401
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 2: low key check out. You know my favorite Harry and

402
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: is he's before you leave though too? But what else

403
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: would you suggest at Saint Elmo's besides the shrimp cock.

404
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: I don't think you can go wrong.

405
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing bad.

406
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: I don't think go wrong. You know this will sound

407
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: where my palette is at. But they have like that

408
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: garlicky bread that they bring to your table before. I'm

409
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: always like, boy, do I have enough clout to ask

410
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: for more of that? And then I'm just kind of

411
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: hoping someone else at the table does ask for more

412
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: of that. But Rick should be an awesome, awesome weekend weather.

413
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: It looks outstanding. We did get a few questions Bussy

414
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 3: Mark on why the Colts entered as a team on

415
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: Sunday and not as the offensive unit, and then whatever

416
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor is the last player announced or defensive unit

417
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: and DeForest Buckner is the last player announced and James Boyd.

418
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: It sounded like that was a Shandon Steichen decision, sound

419
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: like a very last minute decision. Wanted to do that

420
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: to honor Jim Mersay, but that will not be happening

421
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 3: moving forward. Based off what Shane said yesterday doesn't sound

422
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: like at least.

423
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 5: No, he didn't really give us a straight answer on him.

424
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: But I think my takeaway was that was just specific

425
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 5: for the honoring of Jim Irsay. And I know you

426
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: want to expand on some of the other things that's

427
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 5: doing for him, and one of them being very cool.

428
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 5: Actually it will shout out to Purdue for their help

429
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: in this, but I'll let you take it away, Kevin.

430
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the Colts are going to do this each week.

431
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: You might have seen on social media walking into the

432
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: stadium on Sunday, Shane Siken and Pete Ward kind of combined.

433
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: Pete or the CEO of the Colts, kind of combined

434
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 3: on this idea of wanting to have a player chosen

435
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: at the Saturday night team meeting to walk into the

436
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: stadium with a custom made guitar. James brings up Perdue,

437
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 3: a Purdue professor, made this guitar. It's a very cool looking,

438
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 3: custom made and functioning guitar, and DeForest Buckner was the

439
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: first player that was awarded it on Saturday night and

440
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: he walked into the stadium. The Colts put that out

441
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: on social media. The guitar then sits on a whatever

442
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: stand in the locker room and all players and staff

443
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: members see that before the game to honor Jim Mercy.

444
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: So that will be kind of the weekly way to

445
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 3: honor Jim. And again, do you think that's a road

446
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: thing as well? I believe so, ok, yeah, I assume. Yeah.

447
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to be in charge though, of the

448
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: Colts stafford that has to make sure.

449
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 7: That's why I was asking. That guitar station was very nice.

450
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 7: Is that a carry on or do you have to

451
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 7: check that?

452
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: Or because it's a nice private flight, you could probably

453
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 3: do whatever you want.

454
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: Private fights gets its own seat.

455
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well honestly, yeah, you might strap it in next

456
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: to the old pilot up there. So yeah, it sounds

457
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: like this will be something that happens each and every

458
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: week here for the Colts.

459
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 8: There.

460
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: So yes to Forrest Buckner, honor Ey number one, and

461
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: we'll see about I like that. Number two. You going

462
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: honor the offense here out of the tunnel week two?

463
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: Were you afraid of the Daniel Jones booze in week one?

464
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: And now you're saying, hey and now standel Jones last

465
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: this week? Baby?

466
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 6: Do it now?

467
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: Baby? Are you going there? Do it now?

468
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 5: I would, I honestly would, because he played outstanding football.

469
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 7: He is your quarterback.

470
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: He's your most notable player, I would think, at least

471
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 5: notable addition to this team. So why not lean into it?

472
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: I got to kick out of their social media post yesterday.

473
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 5: They had a video where I was so good that

474
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: I forget what even what show this is from? Or

475
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 5: you know what video this is from? The long story short.

476
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: They had two guys and one of them they had

477
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 5: put the face of Daniel Jones on there as like

478
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 5: the waiter or whatever, and then the guy's into the

479
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: table is a rigo Bertha Sanchez, and Daniel Jones comes

480
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: over to you know, I hope you're hungry and pulls

481
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 5: the lid off of his food and says for nothing

482
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: because there was nothing there, just kind of making a

483
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 5: joke about how Sanchez didn't have to have any punts.

484
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 5: Technically he had one, got called back and it was

485
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: a light day for the punter. It must be interesting

486
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 5: to have a job where no one wants you to

487
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 5: actually do it like they want you to do it

488
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 5: well when you're called upon. But if things go well,

489
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: we don't ever want you to punt. And so he

490
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 5: had a nice day off. I would say on Sunday.

491
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: Crazy, It never happens hardly. I mean, how many times

492
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: hadn't happened since niceteen seventy eight? And again crazy.

493
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 3: Judon for contributing to Rigoberto. He did pult one, but

494
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 3: it was a negating.

495
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: I will say this though, the actual punt that he

496
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: made that was a heck of it. It was. It

497
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: was beautiful, turned over like it's supposed to and drove

498
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: the receiver back. It was good.

499
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

500
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: So the other thing was great, and we talked about

501
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: it a little bit yesterday, but I want to bring

502
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: it up again. Spencer Schredder was terrific. Did everything that

503
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: he was asked and dating back to the preseason now

504
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: he's put together a couple of nice little performances. I

505
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: know preseason is different than the regular season, but so far,

506
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: so good. James.

507
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I want to say, and correct

508
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: me if I'm wrong. Kevin, I believe he made five

509
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 5: field goals last year. Only attempted five all of last year,

510
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 5: and he made four and the season opener Sunday, so

511
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 5: he's nine for nine in his career. He has not

512
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: missed a field goal. I'm knock on some wood here

513
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 5: before the fancy. I'm jinxing him, But that is a

514
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: saw a star form. Again, he's familiar face. He was

515
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 5: actually the Colts Week one kicker last year due to

516
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 5: an injury to Matt Gay, but this year he is

517
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: the guy. He is kicker Numero uno, and so that

518
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 5: is always a good discussion to have when we're not

519
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 5: leading the show with back kicking play or bad offensive

520
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 5: line play.

521
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: And a forty eight yarder two from Spencer late in

522
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: that game, so a little bit more distance on that.

523
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: Nick chiming in here cheat code at Saint Elmo cocktail

524
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 3: sauce poured into the navy beans soup bees that developed

525
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 3: an allergy to shellfish. So this is how I get

526
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: my horse Radish fixed. Boy, that is quite the way

527
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: to get the horse Radish fixed.

528
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 6: I felt like that would hurt me, gosh, I feel

529
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 6: like that's.

530
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: Something Mark might need you this morning.

531
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: Speak to that. The text line is full of people

532
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: just taking shots at Mark. A lot of just in

533
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: the pack just bear suck, go, pack go. I mean

534
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 2: a lot of that, and that's one person. You sure

535
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: you don't have any burner numbers out there? Yeah, I'm

536
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: looking through it. It's pretty much me yeo, you like

537
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: I went time for burner numbers. I don't know. Mark.

538
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: For our audience that maybe you know hit the hey

539
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: midway through the third quarter, you want to give them

540
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: a brief summarization of what happened after that to your Bears.

541
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 6: The Bears continue to get penalized. There was a phantom

542
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 6: holding call on Darnell Wright that kind of store stomped

543
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 6: out a potential Bears scoring drive, and then JJ McCarthy

544
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 6: found his wits and he hit Aaron Jones for touchdown.

545
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson got going, and the Bears blew the game,

546
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 6: as they tend to do. Even when Ben Johnson's head coach,

547
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: he has to remember he's still coaching the Bears, who

548
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 6: have a history of just like going down their leg.

549
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 6: Jared b was I'm currently searching for gongs. By the way,

550
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 6: I've switched from drum sets to gongs. Curious if this

551
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 6: would sound good at like six in the morning on

552
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 6: a Saturday.

553
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: Ken Max might be getting birthday president from Mark today.

554
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: A happy birthday to Max Bradley Bowen. If I'm most sad,

555
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: I believe Max might be in the car right now.

556
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: Max.

557
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 3: I love you, buddy. I love how you roar like

558
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: a dinosaur and a line of tiger. At times I'm like, wait,

559
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: who are wearing? Are we bowser right now? Am I

560
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: donkey Kong? Are you bowser? But I love you, buddy,

561
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: and I can't wait to hug you and give you

562
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: a kiss when I pick you.

563
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 6: Up and drum set or gone possibly on the door,

564
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 6: picked up.

565
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: A dinosaur cake and we'll make sure any Mark Dyton

566
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: gifts don't have batteries in there.

567
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: Mark Dyton's text and your wife, he's giving your kids

568
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: gongs for for their birthdays.

569
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 3: Like man I said it to Mark to start off

570
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: the show, karma is a sick, dangerous thing and he

571
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: is meeting it head on once he sent Maddie bow

572
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 3: In the text, I knew I'd get the last laugh.

573
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 9: Well, here's the thing and I believe he sent her

574
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 9: multiple texts and someone might have said there was a

575
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 9: picture involved in these texts that I cannot confirm.

576
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 6: James has seen these text messages.

577
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: The fifth year.

578
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 6: It's a picture of the they don't exist.

579
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: I think Max says there's one of the squeezest and

580
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: I thank you Mark for those.

581
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 2: This could be a lot of fil for you tonight.

582
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: Not better than like a little kid birthday party, though,

583
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: is there really?

584
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: I mean, as a childless one, grown people birthday parties

585
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 5: are amazing, just saying. Matt Taylor was telling me he's

586
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 5: a lot less loud kid birthday parties. But I've had

587
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 5: some great parties I've gone to for adults.

588
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: Maybe Mark in comment on this. Matt, Matt Taylor and

589
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 3: I were chatting in a Colt training camp one day.

590
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: He goes, how old are you? And I'm about to

591
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: turn thirty six and he goes, dude, you're about to

592
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: get on the forty year old birthday train. Mark. They

593
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 3: were Matt Taylor was saying, like people treat their forty

594
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: year old birthdays like it's a Batsler party or like

595
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: their twenty first birthday.

596
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 7: Oh seriously to me, big party?

597
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: Maybe whatever?

598
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: Go you know an overnight in Bloomy ten was like, yeah,

599
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: I don't know something along those lines here, So I

600
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: guess that is something to look forward to.

601
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I could also just treat it as like,

602
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 6: if the Bears keep like this way, I'll be, you know,

603
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: off the wagon relatively quickly, and I'll be going into

604
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 6: every you know bar I can find and to drink

605
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 6: my sorrows away. So I could treat it like that

606
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 6: as well.

607
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: We're getting some variations on those though, too. People were

608
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: getting tired of you getting hammered by the Bear's loss

609
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: last night, so Gritty just texted and said, cubsuck.

610
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,159

00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: eating so much, you know what coming up on Monday.

625
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: But that's what we're at. How about have you guys

626
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: seen the line on this Purdue USC game coming up

627
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: on Saturday? We've got Indiana Indiana State on Friday. I

628
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 3: hate these Friday night Big Ten games. Right, Bloomington North

629
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: and Bloomington South in a high school football matchup that

630
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: in their own town. It's wrong. Indiana plays Indiana State,

631
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: it's wrong. Purdue's line against USC. Guys, what do you think?

632
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: USC is unranked? They have lost, They lost all their games.

633
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: They traveled into the Eastern time zone last year, so unranked.

634
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: Maryland beat them last year, Minnesota beat them last year.

635
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: Somebody else beat them last year when they traveled maybe Michigan.

636
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: And he guesses, well, you're selling it like USC is

637
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: the favorite in this. So I'm gonna say USC is

638
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: like a five and a half point favorite.

639
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably roll with what marksin.

640
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go fourteen and a half you.

641
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: Just see is a twenty one point favorite. The amount

642
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: of good respect that is the Purdue football program. You

643
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: have an unranked conference opponent traveling three time zones. This

644
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: team in USC did not win a single time. They

645
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: made the trek out East last year in their first

646
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: Big Ten season, and they're a three touchdown favorite in Rasset.

647
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 7: They can't be that much better.

648
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 6: I mean I I might be jumping on that line

649
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 6: right away on the produce side of things, because that's insane.

650
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 5: And if we look up this time next week and

651
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: they actually lost by three touchdowns, that'll be very embarrassing.

652
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: A lot of local connections in this one. Barry otom

653
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: you know, used to be at UNLV. Jordan Mayava, USC's

654
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: quarterback started his college career at UNLV. USC has put

655
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 3: up seventy three and fifty nine in their two games

656
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: this season. That sounds like a nice Big Ten basketball

657
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 3: score for the trop there. So for doue USC CBS

658
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: coming up Saturday afternoon and again Indiana Indiana State one

659
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: week before James Boyd, did I see your ALIGNI will

660
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: be in primetime in Bloomington a week from Saturday. That

661
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: will be a night game. Will College game day, be

662
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: there for that one.

663
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 5: I am curious about that, and I've got a lot

664
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 5: of questions about will I be going. And I actually

665
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 5: know because I have to drop to Tennessee that day,

666
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 5: Nashville for the Titans game the next morning.

667
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 6: But you can pull.

668
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you had faith in your A LINEI you

669
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 3: would double dip it.

670
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: That's a what three and a half hour drive? Four

671
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: hour drive? If you can do that?

672
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: Wow, Sunday morning?

673
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 7: Oh wait, if the game is at night, why would

674
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 7: I wait?

675
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: What Saturday night, Bloomington, spend the night Sunday?

676
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: You wake up?

677
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 6: It ain't never that deep drive to Tennessee or just

678
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 6: stay till halftime.

679
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 7: No, no chance.

680
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: I will find a nice bar in Tennessee, probably somewhere

681
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 5: on the streets Broadway Broadway and talk my trash at

682
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 5: a safe distance.

683
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: Can we get a video on social media that night?

684
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 7: Oh sure?

685
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: If the line I went, I'll post the video trash

686
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 5: talking everybody. And if they lose, you know, my.

687
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 7: Phone won't work.

688
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: That's how it goes, all right, as.

689
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 6: Will be the most sober person on Broadway that night.

690
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 6: This is TROSI some crazy thing. Honestly, I'm like, you

691
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 6: have no idea. How bad you Yeah, I told you

692
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 6: the story about Bob Kravitz. As long as I'm not

693
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 6: with him, I shouldn't be getting into any ubers. They

694
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 6: don't actually exist.

695
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: Thanks and looking up for sports fans here in Indianapolis

696
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: and Indiana. All in all, we see the Colts winning

697
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: their home opener against the Dolphins this past weekend and

698
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: the Indiana fever. Despite the absence for most of the

699
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: year of Caitlyn Clark, have found themselves to go into

700
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: the w NBA Playoffs as either the six or seven seed,

701
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: and they've had injury after injury after injury, but they

702
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: just keep on keeping on. And a man who's seen

703
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: most of those games, if not all of them, joined

704
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: us now in the Payless Lookers Hotline, Pat Boyling kind

705
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: enough to spend a few minutes with us this morning.

706
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: At the very beginning of the year, Pat Stephanie White

707
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: talked about grace and resilience with this team, and man,

708
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: have they delivered on both of those things. Welcome to

709
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: the program, But how have they gotten to where they've

710
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: gotten so far?

711
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 8: Yeah? Thanks for having me, guys. It's, in my opinion,

712
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 8: one of the great stories in all of the WNBA

713
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 8: if not sports this year. And listen, I understand the

714
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 8: twenty three and twenty record doesn't exactly jump off the page,

715
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 8: especially maybe to a casual sports fan that checks in

716
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 8: every once in a while, but when you consider there's

717
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 8: a great stat actually just thrown out by Rebecca Lobo

718
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 8: on Twitter, I thought about ten minutes ago, the Fever

719
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 8: are the first team to have five players go down

720
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 8: with season ending injuries. I'm spacing on the timeline here,

721
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 8: but it was. It's according to Rebecca Lobo, the Indiana

722
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 8: Fever are the only team to have to have five

723
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 8: season ending injuries over the last three years. And here

724
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 8: they are already clinched into the playoff. They to playoff

725
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 8: birth on Sunday. You know, I think Stephanie White and

726
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 8: your's staff deserve a ton of credit because she's the

727
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 8: definition of poise and grace under pressure, and I think

728
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 8: Chris Staff follows that brilliantly. And the front office. You know,

729
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 8: every single time the Fever bring in a player that's

730
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 8: coming in for a hardship contract, coming in miss Steves,

731
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 8: and it feels like that they've been with the team

732
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 8: for months, and that is really hard to do from

733
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 8: a chemistry perspective, and so you know, not having Caitlin

734
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 8: Clark has been an incredible challenge. But it's amazing to

735
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 8: me that last year, you know, the Fever had pretty

736
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 8: good helps the whole year and finished twenty and twenty

737
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 8: and that was a real nice step forward. This team

738
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 8: is going to beat that record despite the fact that

739
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 8: Caitlyn has only played thirteen games, despite the fact that

740
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 8: they've had five significant injuries this year. And let me

741
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 8: be very clear, the Fever need Caitlin to ultimately hit

742
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 8: their ceiling and big picture, her return and her health

743
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 8: is the number one storyline in my opinion. But for

744
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 8: this year's team that has dealt with what they are

745
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 8: to be in this spot right now, you know, a

746
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 8: chance to win tonight and finish twenty four and twenty.

747
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 8: I really think it's one of the great stories in

748
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 8: all the WNBA this year.

749
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: Pat, great to hear your voice if I'm seeing correctly

750
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: here and Mark Dyton. We do try to be super

751
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: respectful of people each and every morning that do join

752
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: the show, especially someone like Pat. Pat works a lot

753
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 3: of late nights, right facers, Fever a lot of late nights,

754
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: and typically Pat is more of a you know, in

755
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: the nine o'clock hour, right, yep, you know, beauty sleep.

756
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 3: You can't look like that and act like you're waking

757
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 3: up at five.

758
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: Six in the morning. He always looks that good.

759
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean hell, I mean he's a good

760
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: looking Carmel grad here, Pat Boyling, you had time for

761
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: TV though earlier this morning. I don't recall you having

762
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 3: time for the old radio show and the eight o'clock

763
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 3: hour before.

764
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 8: I don't know that I have ever declined the radio

765
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 8: show in the eight o'clock hour. I have always just

766
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 8: stated my preference the clock hour. Because while I appreciate

767
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 8: the very positive pr spin you did right there, yeah,

768
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 8: thank you, I am. I am very much a night out. Well,

769
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 8: I will join your show if it was airing at

770
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 8: two am, and no qualms about it. You start talking

771
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 8: about the seven o'clock hour, and that's that's a different

772
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 8: story for me. But I am happy to do it

773
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 8: if necessary. And actually, yeah, I was down with Fox

774
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 8: fifty nine this morning doing a couple of hits with them,

775
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 8: and I actually had to thought, you know, this would

776
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 8: be good because it'll like, it'll warm me up for

777
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 8: you guys. Sometimes I'm still kind of cleaning out the

778
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 8: cobwebs when we're talking in the morning. But that kind

779
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 8: of helped me mentally get started for the day.

780
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 3: In all seriousness, thank you very much for the time.

781
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: I was hoping you could maybe share for our audience

782
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: a story about one of the new Fever players and

783
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 3: I'll leave it open ended, honesty Sims Shay Petty aerial

784
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 3: powers like you know, KK Timpson. I know you know

785
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: from from a rookie standpoint, like any of these players

786
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: that at the start of the year, they probably weren't

787
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: even on the Fever or in the league, and now

788
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they're playing very meaningful minutes. So

789
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: as we start to shift to the regular season finale

790
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: tonight and obviously the playoffs, any of them stand out

791
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: to you about a story for our audience.

792
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, And you know what's you know, just kind of

793
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 8: a perfect encapsulation of the season is if you would

794
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 8: have asked me this question a few weeks ago or

795
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 8: a month ago or so, the answer would have been

796
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 8: Erry McDonald, who is a high draft pick, bounced around

797
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 8: a little bit in her WNBA career, found yourself outside

798
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 8: looking in after you know, roster cut day at the

799
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 8: beginning of the season, came in when Caitlin Clark got hurt,

800
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 8: played so well that she earned the rest of the

801
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 8: season contract, and then unfortunately, just the way the season

802
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 8: is gone, the player who was brought in for an

803
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 8: injury then herself had a season ending injury. She's a

804
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 8: remarkable story that unfortunately had, you know, as far as

805
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 8: sports go, kind of a tragic ending to her season

806
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 8: this year. But Aeriel Powers is probably the player I

807
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 8: would pick there, although honestly, Simms her story's been great too.

808
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 8: You know, she was a high draft pick back in

809
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 8: twenty eleven, so she's a little bit on on the

810
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 8: older side in terms of w NBA age, but she actually,

811
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 8: you know, came in and hit the game winning bucket

812
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 8: against LA, her former team, and it looks like that's

813
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 8: going to be a massive win in terms of receiver

814
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 8: both making the playoffs in LA likely missing. But my

815
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 8: pick would just be Aerial Powers because you know, the

816
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 8: joy and the just exuberance she has brought to this

817
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 8: team I think has been palpable. And then her toughness

818
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 8: as well. She was somebody that had a nice first

819
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 8: four or five years of her career, and this is

820
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 8: just the story of so many w NBA players and

821
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 8: it'll be interesting to watch as you know, the league

822
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 8: expands and rosters expand you know, does this continue to

823
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 8: happen because there's just a lot of really good players

824
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 8: right on the fringe of rosters and aerial powers is

825
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 8: a great example. And just the joy that she has

826
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 8: brought in the understanding of you know, this is kind

827
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 8: of a second shot at her dream has been really

828
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 8: fun to witness. And she's come in and provided a

829
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 8: ton of energy, a ton of toughness. And in that

830
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 8: game against Washington, I mean, she's never really been known

831
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 8: as like a three point shooter, but she had a

832
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 8: couple of massive threes in the fourth quarter that I

833
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 8: thought kind of put the game away. And this is

834
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 8: a player that not only was on the outside looking in,

835
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 8: but you know, the Fever had made numerous other signings

836
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 8: this year to have other players fill in for hardship players,

837
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 8: and she was, you know, kind of one of the

838
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 8: very last ones. And yet she's making a really big

839
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 8: difference and I expect she'll get you know, significant playoff

840
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 8: minutes once the playoffs comes around, and you know, she's

841
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 8: just kind of the embodiment of really this whole season,

842
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 8: the toughness, the resiliency. I mean, if you would have

843
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 8: said at the beginning of the season that I'd be

844
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 8: talking about aerial powers, Odyssey Sims and Aery McDonald here

845
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 8: in an interview with you guys, I mean I would

846
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 8: have thought, I, you know, went to a different planet

847
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 8: or different dimension or something. It's just so hard to believe.

848
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 8: But here we are, and all those players are are

849
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 8: making a significant difference.

850
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: Let's go down that road a little bit further, Pat,

851
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: because it's crazy to me, and maybe it's the front office,

852
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: maybe it's Stephanie, the coaching staff, whatever, whoever they've brought in,

853
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: they haven't missed. That's been crazy to me that the

854
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: players keep going down and we talk about the resilience,

855
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 2: but the new players they brought in, all the folks

856
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: you just talked about, they really haven't missed. How crazy

857
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: is that? Why is that happening?

858
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's just an incredible job, I think.

859
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 8: And you know it starts with Kelly cross Cooffs and

860
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 8: the Ambercox and those two are the decision makers. And

861
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 8: Kelly cross Cooff was the decision maker. By the way,

862
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 8: you want to talk about somebody who has some foresight

863
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 8: to draft Tamika Catchings on a torn acl in one

864
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 8: of the very formative years of the franchise, when she

865
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 8: was not even available to play in the first year.

866
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 8: I mean, you think about that and say, we're going

867
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 8: to draft a player with a top selection third overall

868
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 8: that can't even play this year when you're a you know,

869
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 8: an upstart ex and franchise, and that move obviously pay dividend.

870
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 8: So here is Kelly, you know, twenty plus years later,

871
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 8: making you know, these pivotal decisions. And I think it's

872
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 8: I think it's understanding not just the type of player

873
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 8: you need, but the type of person and the type

874
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 8: of person who's going to come in and buy into

875
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 8: the team mindset. And that's that sounds easy, but it's

876
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 8: really really difficult because so many of these players, you know,

877
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 8: they're dying to be in the WNBA, They're dying to

878
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 8: show not just the Fever but other teams in the

879
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 8: future if it doesn't end up working out long term

880
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 8: with Indiana, that they are capable of being on a roster.

881
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 8: And when that's the case, so often that type of

882
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 8: player tries to do too much. Frankly, tries to show,

883
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 8: you know that they're capable to other teams, but that's

884
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 8: not always what's in the best interest of the team.

885
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 8: And so those two things can be a very difficult

886
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 8: thing to find somebody who's who's both capable on the court,

887
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 8: but is going to fit into what you're doing, and

888
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 8: oftentimes is the case. You know, with players like this,

889
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 8: you're not asking them to come in and be a superstar.

890
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 8: You're asking them to come in and maybe play eight

891
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 8: minutes a game and do all the little things. And

892
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 8: so I think identifying those type of players that fit

893
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 8: what you need and kind of fit the style and

894
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 8: the mantra of Stephanie White's twenty twenty five Indiana Fever,

895
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 8: I mean that that, to me, has just been such

896
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 8: a massive storyline in this train not derailing. I think

897
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 8: so many teams in so many sports that have this

898
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 8: many significant injuries, that train's been on the off of

899
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 8: the tracks a long time ago, and not only has

900
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 8: that not happened here, but you know, the Fever have

901
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 8: been able to excel despite all of these things and

902
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 8: have a better record than last year. And again they

903
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 8: need Caitlin Clark fact Bay picture. They absolutely do. I

904
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 8: don't want to do anything to suggest, you know, that

905
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 8: they are having more success without her, because that's not

906
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 8: the case. It is just unquestionably and arguably correct that

907
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 8: the Fever need her to be healthy for the future

908
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 8: of this franchise to you know, win championships. But right now,

909
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 8: in this tough scenario, I can't imagine handling it any

910
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 8: better than the Fever.

911
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 5: Are Pat boiling again joining us on the Paylott Slickers Hotline,

912
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 5: the play voice of the Fever. Pat, we have playoff

913
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: Fever Basketball for the second straight year, but unlike last year,

914
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 5: there will be a Fever home game this time around,

915
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: at least guaranteed. What can you tell us about the

916
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 5: potential seating still up for grabs right now ahead of

917
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 5: the regular season finale tonight and also just the excitement

918
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 5: around this group to get into the dance.

919
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's a big point that you just made,

920
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 8: which is the way the playoff format worked last year

921
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 8: and for the past few years, is they were trying

922
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 8: to cut down on travel. It was probably a cost

923
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 8: saving measure, but the first round series they were really

924
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 8: unfair in my opinion, because if you were in the

925
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 8: Fever spot where you weren't a top four seed and

926
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 8: didn't have home court advantage. First of all, it's best

927
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 8: of three, so that's a difference from the NBA, and

928
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 8: maybe people that have followed the NBA for a long

929
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 8: time and are just starting to follow the WNB more closely,

930
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 8: that's a big difference. So first, the two wins, the

931
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 8: series go very very quickly. But the way it used

932
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 8: to work was last year, as an example, the Fever

933
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 8: went to Connecticut. Connecticut was the higher seeded, the better

934
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 8: seeded team, and the first two games of the series

935
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 8: were there and the only way the Fever got to

936
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 8: play a home playoff game was if they won one

937
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 8: of those two, then game three, oddly enough, the do

938
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 8: or die game would have been in Indianapolis. Well, they

939
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 8: have done away with that, and I think it was

940
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 8: vital that they did, because frankly, it was really unfair

941
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 8: across the board. And now you're in a situation where

942
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 8: it's more standard. It's best of three. The Fever will

943
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 8: go on the road for game one, they'll come back

944
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 8: for Game two, and they'll guarantee themselves a home playoff

945
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 8: game with a chance to force that do or die

946
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 8: Game three. In this scenario. So the Fever are either

947
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 8: going to be six or seven to be sick. They've

948
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 8: got to win tonight and then Golden State has to

949
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 8: lose out and they will very likely play either Atlanta

950
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 8: or Vegas outside chance of Phoenix, but either Atlanta or Vegas.

951
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 8: And you know, when you're in this situation, you're going

952
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 8: to be playing somebody very good, and you're not going

953
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 8: to have home court advantage and you don't have Caitlin Clark,

954
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 8: so there will be a lot of challenges once the

955
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 8: playoffs come around. But you know, the opportunity to have

956
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 8: that home playoff game I think is massive because it

957
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 8: guarantees you a scenario of win your home game and

958
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 8: then you'll be in a position to have it for

959
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 8: die game at minimum to move on to the second

960
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 8: round of the playoffs. And so you know, if it's Vegas,

961
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 8: that's the hottest team in the league by far, they

962
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 8: haven't lost since early August. If it is Atlanta, you know,

963
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 8: I think one of the other.

964
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: Great stories in the WNBA.

965
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 8: This is a team Atlanta that just barely got into

966
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 8: the playoffs last year and might end up with the

967
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 8: two seed this year. So they'll play somebody good. They'll

968
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 8: play somebody with a lot of talent. They'll you know,

969
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 8: it'll be certainly a challenge. But I'm very, very glad

970
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 8: the leak has fixed this issue that they had with

971
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 8: home court advantage and the way they were handling the

972
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 8: home court situation in the playoffs, because it is a

973
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 8: lot more fair and just for a team in the

974
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 8: Fevers position here in twenty twenty five than in the

975
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 8: Fever's position just a year ago in twenty twenty four.

976
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: Pat, always good to have you on the morning show

977
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 2: at any time. We appreciate that, and we'll let Kevin

978
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 2: get you on at seven forty five one of these

979
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: mornings and we'll be good to go.

980
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe maybe we'll do a seven thirty.

981
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 2: Hey you, Pat, How far away are we from Pacer

982
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: showing up?

983
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 8: By the way, Yeah, late September. I think we can't begin.

984
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 8: That has been just a mind warp because when you

985
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 8: play till late June, to me, it feels like there

986
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 8: should be like three months until the season starts, and

987
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 8: you look down it's like, oh no, there's preseason basketball

988
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 8: here in a month. That's crazy.

989
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: How did I see before we let you go?

990
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 3: Did I see Aaron E. Smith had some guys down

991
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 3: to the I think it was the Charleston area, look

992
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: like some of the wing players, Matheren Furfey Shepherd, some

993
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: of those guys down there Jars Walker for a little

994
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: offseason get together.

995
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I saw that too, and probably nothing more than

996
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 8: you've seen just on social media. I actually saw the

997
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 8: first photo with those guys doing some workouts in the sand,

998
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 8: and I was like, what's going on here? And then

999
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 8: and then kind of saw the full encapsulation of it.

1000
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 8: I think the Pacers maybe even themselves did a post

1001
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 8: on it. So yeah, last year, you know, Pascal Siakam

1002
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 8: brought everybody together and I think that was kind of

1003
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 8: a big moment as a galvanization type thing for this

1004
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 8: team in the off season and ultimately the run they

1005
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 8: ended up having. So you know, I think, you know,

1006
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 8: the Pacers are not the only team doing stuff like this,

1007
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 8: but I think it's really good for chemistry building at

1008
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 8: this point in the year. And obviously it's going to

1009
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 8: be a challenge without Tyree Taliburton this year, so the

1010
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 8: chemistry is going to have to be on point, and

1011
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 8: hopefully this is something that helps with that.

1012
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, we'll talk to you soon. Thank you,

1013
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1014
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 8: Guys.

1015
00:46:50,040 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: Well, well you were listening to a fan more show

1016
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: on sports radio.

1017
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: Marcause you know better than anyone, no good deed goes unpunished.

1018
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 6: Second, and we are throwing that right out the window.

1019
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 2: We have questions.

1020
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 6: We are throwing it right out the bright.

1021
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 2: Do you want me to set the story the state?

1022
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: Have so many questions.

1023
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 2: Every couple of years, Marion University hosts the National Collegiate

1024
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: Cycling Championships. They are a powerhouse. The school that I

1025
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: happen to attend in college is also a cycling powerhouse.

1026
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: I happen to know and I'm friends with the coach

1027
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 2: of said team.

1028
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 5: From this context was not given us when when the

1029
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 5: story originally but go ahead.

1030
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: So we often that they always send a large contingent

1031
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: to folks, I don't know, eight to ten writers on

1032
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 2: each side, the male and female side. They'll get an

1033
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 2: airbnb for either the men or the women, and then

1034
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: whoever they don't get the airbnb for our house, we

1035
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: host the other side. So last time we hosted the men.

1036
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: This time, for whatever reason, the coach makes the decisions.

1037
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 2: He's decided that the women will stay at our house.

1038
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 2: We have some space, we have an extra room. We've

1039
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 2: got all kinds of pull out beds and couches and

1040
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: things like that, and it just works out we can

1041
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: host that many people, So we do. I said offhand

1042
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: during the break, I said, Man, when I go home

1043
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: to night and I get that, there was no context

1044
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 2: for you guys. My house is going to be full

1045
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: of like a dozen college women getting ready for the

1046
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 2: cycling national championships. And you were like, wait, what that

1047
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 2: would never happened in my house?

1048
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 5: You said, oh no, my parents in my would absolutely

1049
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 5: veto that. They wouldn't even offer the university. We paid

1050
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 5: all this money for you go to school. They'd better

1051
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 5: figure it out.

1052
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: But the funniest part about this is that I just

1053
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 3: can't step thinking about your high school age son.

1054
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 7: I know they're gonna have that time of their lives.

1055
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 2: Got very Jake is not happy that he's given his

1056
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 2: room up at all.

1057
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 6: Well, he didn't give it up. You gave it up choice.

1058
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 6: The wildest thing is might things, Yeah, you said, do.

1059
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 2: Not put that in my son's head? Hey, what you mean? No?

1060
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 6: No, no, if the wildest thing is you have a

1061
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 6: dozen people sting for how long at your house? Probably

1062
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 6: five days, five days for a dozen strangers. Provide there

1063
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 6: how many how many bathrooms does this? Here's a mansion,

1064
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 6: they will spend other than just sleeping there.

1065
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 2: They're pretty much at the track most of the time.

1066
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 7: But they're pretty much going to be at your house

1067
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 7: the other time.

1068
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: In the evenings of sleep go to bed.

1069
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, and route Love Island from his house.

1070
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 2: Oh, there's they got. They're on their minds, are on

1071
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 2: the spot. There the water bill.

1072
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,760
Speaker 6: I can't even imagine.

1073
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this well, I've gotten no some of

1074
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: these kids over the years. They're young adults, is what

1075
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: they are. Some of the coolest people have met.

1076
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 8: Man.

1077
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 6: Just I don't care how cool they are playing in

1078
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 6: my house for five days.

1079
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of.

1080
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 7: My only question you do have the lawyer wife.

1081
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: How many baths game?

1082
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 5: Do they have to sign something from the university because

1083
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 5: I feel like there has to be some stipul I

1084
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 5: don't know. It sounds like an AU trip, but that's

1085
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 5: not AU.

1086
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 2: No, it's very Look, it's very machine like. They come in,

1087
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,520

1094
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 10: it's a way to give back to your university for

1095
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 10: two years. I think I much rather prefer to be

1096
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 10: a hotel.

1097
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 3: I fire them.

1098
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 5: I wonder how you get to choose men or women?

1099
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 5: Like do you flip a coin? I will tell you

1100

Speaker 2: I don't know.

1102
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 6: I mean you do you have the better draw? You

1103
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 6: got the girls because they're usually cleaner than they.

1104
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed meeting those young men a couple of years.

1105
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: They were terrific kids.

1106
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 6: I just that is insanity.

1107
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 5: And then, so how is this set up for your

1108
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 5: sons because they have to share one room in the backyard.

1109
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: They say they each other their own room, but they

1110
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: got a share room this week.

1111
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 7: And they're bunking.

1112
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, how many bets? I don't understand where it doesn't.

1113
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 2: Well, I mean question Kevin Bowen.

1114
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 7: I'd be trying to borrow somewhere else.

1115
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,479
Speaker 2: They're not so big that they've outgrown physically the bunk

1116
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: beds that we used to have, So that's what will

1117
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 2: be going on there.

1118
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 7: So they haven't outgrown the bunk beds from their childhood.

1119
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: Well there's big they're bordering there, but they're not quite

1120
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 2: there yet.

1121
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 6: For one more Sally.

1122
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 2: Oh my, I'm saying, you know what, Leave it to you, guys,

1123
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be totally funny.

1124
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 7: Embrace the moment and exciting.

1125
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 5: And you're like, man, brother, especially what pops you got

1126
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 5: to get up early in the morning to come to

1127
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 5: the show. Oh, that'd be when I'd be stepping out

1128
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 5: of my room, you know, just perusing, Hey, what's going on?

Speaker 6: I'll be sitting down. It'd be very friendly.

1131
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 2: So you can't decide whether you like it or you

1132
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: don't like.

1133
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 5: I would hate the room set up. Bunking with my

1134
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 5: older brother just sounds miserable. But if my trade off

1135
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 5: is I get to meet a bunch of young I'm

1136
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,960
