1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely gorgeous day in Indianapolis. It was a gorgeous day

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: over the weekend. And now I don't know what the

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: weather was like here over the weekend because I was

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest where it was unbelievable. Because it

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: is not often that you go, at least I'm assuming

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: that it's not often that when you go to Portland,

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Oregon or Seattle, Washington, that it's ninety seven degrees. But

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: that's what it was yesterday for the IndyCar Race. We'll

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit today, but obviously back

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: in the mix and back running not only for this

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: for me, but for the Colts for everything. And there

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: have been some things that have taken place since we

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: last talked, not only in terms of the Colts quarterback situation,

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: not only in terms of the fever roster and their

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: health status, but also in this radio show, in the

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: way that you interact with us now, Eddie, as you know,

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: and this will stun you, I'm sure some times. Now

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that I'm pretty good once I

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: figure things out, but I'm a little bit of a

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: slow learner. But this is pretty elementary and pretty easy

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: to do now on this show we have and we're trendsetters, Eddie,

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: right on this show, we're trendsetters. We've been station trendsetters

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: for a while. And of course I've given out my

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: personal cell phone number four years for people to text

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: with me, and by all means, I enjoy that and

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: you are also always welcome to do it. But in

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: terms of interacting with the show and with the station,

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: we now have a text line at two three nine

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: ten seventy, so you can literally text the same number

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: that you would call for the show. You can text

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: it and we see it right there now, just so

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: everybody knows when you text with us, that does not

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: go for the rest of the masses to see. Only

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: we at the radio station can see your text and

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: respond to it, which we will over the course of

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the show. But it's a great way to interact as well,

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: so at any point when you are listening to this program.

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: And I realized it's a little bit different because forever

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I've given my personal cell phone number out and I

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: have really enjoyed and appreciated the people that have interacted

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: with me, both during the show hours and after hours,

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: and feel free to continue to do so. If you've

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: got my number in your phone and it's after hours

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: and you want to send me a message or ask

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: a question or whatever else by all means feel free.

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: But during the show itself, a really good way to

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: do it is at two three nine ten seventy. That's

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: a three one seven area code. Obviously, you can even

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: if you'd like. You can even text when you disagree

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: with us and let me know, or if you if

51
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: you simply want to inquire about the size of Eddie's cranium,

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: we can answer those questions as well. WHOA somebody over

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the weekend sent a message saying there's a picture of

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: a guy in Vegas and with I don't know what

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the picture was from. I think I was on a

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: plane when I saw it, but it said I've never

57
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: seen Eddie, but I can only assume this ISAM. And

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: it was a guy, and I think it was vague

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: with two like unbelievably good looking girls. But the dude's

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: head was massive.

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: It almost looks like it's photoshop.

62
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: It does. I think it's the angle of which this

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: poor SOB's like picture was taken, but it's but it

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: was pretty funny. I got a kick out of it.

65
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: Good afternoon to you on what is a Monday. Obviously,

66
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: my name is Jake Quarry, Eddie Garrison. The other voice

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: that you just heard it is Quarying Company here on

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: And there is plenty to talk about, plenty to talk

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: about today because you know, the Colts are back and

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting. Now it is the Green

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers that will come calling. They will have a

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: joint practice towards the end of the week. They obviously

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: preseason game number two, and we know this much. The

75
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: snaps that are going to take place for that, the

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: way that they are going to disperse the playing time

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position now has changed, understandably so because

78
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: of the fact that initially it was designing game number

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: one that Anthony Richardson was going to play a longer

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: amount of time then Daniel Jones would get some reps.

81
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Then obviously Anthony Richardson has the incident with his pinky,

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: he leaves the game, Daniel Jones goes in, goes I

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: think ten of twenty one. He was okay, didn't do

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: anything to set himself apart. Now what we know is

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: that Anthony Richardson will get more snaps than was anticipated.

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones got more than was expected for him in

87
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Game number one. Richardson is going to get more than

88
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: what we had expected in game number two. The problem

89
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: with all of it is this, and I truly believe,

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say, I'm going to be like the

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: goldfish at the end of the music video for Faith

92
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: No More in nineteen ninety I think it was Faith

93
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: No More. You won it all, but you you can

94
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: have it? You know that song, Eddie, I know, I

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: don't well. The end of their music video they show

96
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: a goldfish flopping around out of its tank. It was

97
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: very disturbing, to be honest with you, shocked people in

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. But I'm gonna be that goldfish because

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: I am flopping a little bit here in terms of

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: where I think things stand on the Colts quarterback position.

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: And let me explain what I mean. When Daniel Jones

102
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: was signed coming off of the season, Anthony Richardson had

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: had in particularly what the helmet tap. When Daniel Jones

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: was signed and given thirteen million dollars, my first thought was,

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: that's who's going to be your starter. Daniel Jones is

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: going to start for the Colts, and then as and

107
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: when they went through the OTAs and Richardson had the

108
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: sore shoulder and they shelfed him. Then I thought, Okay,

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: now I'm certain it's Daniel Jones. But once they then

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: went to it and said, no, we're starting clean slate

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: and we're going to see where things stand. The more

112
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: I thought about it, the more I thought, you know what,

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was brought in to be a last minute

114
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: insurance policy if things go, if the wheels completely come

115
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: off the Anthony Richardson experiment, and in addition to that,

116
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: to be the last effort to push him. And I

117
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: think the Colts in that thought process looked at it

118
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, here's the bottom line. We

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: have a guy that we drafted in the top five

120
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL draft. Everyone or top six, whatever it was,

121
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: Everyone and their brother knew that Indianapolis was in a

122
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: position where they finally had to get a franchise quarterback.

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: And this is the guy that Chris Ballad is attached

124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: to in Anthony Richardson. So as a result of that,

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: they're going to give him every possible opportunity. And so

126
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: going into the training camp, I thought to myself, unless

127
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones comes out and literally looks like Steve Young,

128
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Michael Vick, John Elway, and Warren Moon all wrapped into one,

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: this is Anthony Richardson's job. And then Richardson gets hurt

130
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: and Jones doesn't do anything to completely jump off the page.

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: Then Richardson on Saturday has a bad day, Jones has

132
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: an okay day. Sunday Richardson okay, Jones has a bad day.

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: And all of it led me to realize, Look, one

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: of these two quarterbacks has bigger upside. The other of

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks has better stability from game into game out.

136
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: But if we are still sitting here now talking about

137
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: having to alter the amount of snaps in a preseason

138
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: game than what we thought before because we didn't get

139
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: a chance to see enough of this guy, and we

140
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to see enough of that guy,

141
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, then my fear for the Colts

142
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: is that we're back to this point, and that is

143
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: that if you have two quarterbacks, you have none, And

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: if you are talking about quarterback by committee or you're

145
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: talking about still doing this battle and not one versus

146
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: the other has really jumped off the page. That's a problem.

147
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: And I think Richardson certainly shows and presents himself as

148
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: the guy that has the bigger wow home run factor.

149
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm done. Or Wade Boggs, you know, Cecil Fielder or

150
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Wade Boggs. Who's the better player? The base hit guy

151
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: or the guy that when he hits a home run

152
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: wows Everett, Mark McGuire, Mark McGuire, Will Clark, who's the

153
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: better player? And I'm not saying Daniel Jones is Will

154
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: Clark or Wade Boggs, But I'm saying what he brings

155
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: to the table is just a consistency. And with Richardson,

156
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: you've fall in love with the home run factor, but

157
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: neither one of them Eddie Daniel Jones has yet to

158
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: show the consistency that's supposed to be his brand, and

159
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson has yet to show the home runs that

160
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: are supposed to be his brand. And as a result,

161
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: what do you have?

162
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: Are Anthony Richardson's home runs solely to be displayed in

163
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: game action versus practice? I mean, you gotta you have

164
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: to at some point see it, right, Yeah? I mean

165
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying.

166
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: I just to me that that is a concern is

167
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: if you have two quarterbacks, you have none, and at

168
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: this point that's still what they have. I think that

169
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: we can sit here and say it's Richardson, but you know,

170
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: so far, like I said, it's kind of neither one

171
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: the Fever are. They had an interesting weekend. Now again,

172
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: I was gone, so I was, what are you doing

173
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: over there? Are you doing? I next with the microphone,

174
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: everything going, Okay.

175
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Mark Dykton's trying to sabotage the show.

176
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: This mic is very loose, and I was just trying

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: to tighten it over here.

178
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: That's it.

179
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: That's all I'm trying to do so it doesn't fall off.

180
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but what you just did actually is created audio

181
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: for Mark Dyton to make a promo mocking you. The

182
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: Fever had an unfortunate, obviously weekend, but and you know

183
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: it was interesting. I was flying when I flew to

184
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Portland through LA I landed, as you know, and I

185
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: know everybody was anxiously awaiting to find out whether or

186
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: not I made my connecting flight. If you recall, on Friday,

187
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: we were almost taking wagers on it because I think,

188
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: what did I have like forty minutes between flights and

189
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: I think they were going into different gates at LAX.

190
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you had a delay so you were able

191
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: to successfully make it right.

192
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: So I land and I think it was thirty nine

193
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: minutes the connection. But I land and it says you

194
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: are delayed. I was supposed to leave Lax at like

195
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: six twenty five Pacific time, so's you're delayed until seven

196
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: thirty and then seven thirty. At like seven fifteen, I

197
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: get a thing says delayed till eight thirty five, eight

198
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: thirty five. It's like delayed. I've been through this movie.

199
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: I know how this goes. It's like waiting for Anthony

200
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Richardson and Daniel Jones to take off in one of

201
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: them to get the job. Literally, every time you think

202
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: that you're about to board, two steps back. And at

203
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: one point I walked up to the gate after sitting

204
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: there for a couple of hours, I walked up to

205
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,359
Speaker 1: the woman and said, you know, just out of curiosity,

206
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: is there any chance that you know, is there anything

207
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: available where I could like upgrade my seat? And she

208
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: looks at me and says, oh, oh, I'm sorry, but

209
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: I can't do any upgrades within fifteen minutes of boarding.

210
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: And according to my clock here, we're going to start

211
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: boarding in fourteen minutes. And I said okay, and I

212
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: go and sit down, and two minutes later, boom, another delay,

213
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: another delay, and I'm thinking, okay. So I had time

214
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: to walk around Lax and kill because we did not

215
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: end up leaving for I was laid over in Lax

216
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: for I think it was nine hours something like that,

217
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: nine or ten hours.

218
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,239
Speaker 2: Did you see any people wearing cardigans?

219
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: So I didn't see anybody wearing cardigans? And certainly there

220
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: were no dreams other than the dream of getting on

221
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: my flight. Now.

222
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: Was there a jay Z song playing?

223
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: There was not a jay Z song playing, nor was

224
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: there a cab. But as I was walking around Lax,

225
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: I saw not one, not two, but three different people

226
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: wearing fever gear. Really, and this was in a completely

227
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: different I went into the international terminal because that's where

228
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: all the shopping and everything is, so I went in

229
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: there to walk around, get something to eat, and I

230
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: saw three different people wearing fever stuff. And you know,

231
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: that's my litmus test as to the viability of a

232
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: franchise is when you go through a place like that,

233
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: and this was not to my knowledge, I mean, unless

234
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: there were people that were on my flight that were

235
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: connecting to an international flight, but I didn't see any

236
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: of those people that I on the Indianapolis flight. So

237
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: my point being, Caitlin Clark effect WNBA starting to rise

238
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. We have, you know, the Fever are indeed,

239
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: and I love it. I love the fact that it's

240
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: a great thing to talk about and a fun team.

241
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: But right when they were starting to hit their stride, Eddie,

242
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: right when Anthony Richardson was starting to complete passes, right

243
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: when Daniel Jones was realizing that without Richardson and OTAs,

244
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: he has a chance to really take a step forward,

245
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: right when the Fever had that going, then all of

246
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: a sudden, this happens with the injury bug. You already

247
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: have Kitlyn Clark out, you have Aery McDonald we find

248
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: out has a broken bone in her foot, Sidney Colson

249
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: with an ACL injury, and now you are really knocked

250
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: back a peg, so to speak. They did go out

251
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and make a transaction to take care of that, and

252
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: they did get a win over the weekend, But at

253
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: the same time, and I hate to say this because

254
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: wins are wins, especially at the professional level. But the

255
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: reality Eddie Garrison pre and post game host of the

256
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Indiana Fever broadcast, The reality is that beating Chicago is

257
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: something that that has not been their buggaboo, that's not

258
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: been their challenge, right, so we have yet to really

259
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: see how this will impact and affect them moving forward.

260
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: That is an accurate assessment, Jake, especially because I think

261
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: I saw this on Saturday night when Chicago does not

262
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: have anjeury switch.

263
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: They haven't had in.

264
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: Over a week now. They're losing on average by like

265
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: twenty points a game, and the Fever beat them by

266
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: twenty two. So like they're doing, they took care of

267
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: business the way they were supposed to take care of

268
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: business against a bad Chicago team. It was nice to

269
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: see Lexi Hole get back to making some shots yesterday

270
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: or on Saturday, she was four to six on threes

271
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: after struggling. Then going into that game on Saturday after

272
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: the break, she had only hit four threes and like

273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: twenty eight attempts, like she was struggling to say the least,

274
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: and they as a team they knocked down eleven. Sophie

275
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: Cunningham is a nice game Kelsey Mitchell again with twenty

276
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: six points and eight boards. But they signed Odyssey Simms,

277
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: and I think Jake they had to wait until because

278
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: there were some stipulations with like WNWA rules, is that

279
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: they'd wait until yesterday to sign Odyssey Simms. And she's

280
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: a veteran point guard that's been around the league for

281
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: a long time, so she'll she'll step in right away

282
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: again some minutes and it'll be fascinating to see how

283
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: they integrate her within you know, the scheme of which

284
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: they want to operate offensively as they're trying to steal

285
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: integrate Kaitlyn Clark back onto the practice floor as well.

286
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: So we have another Odyssey in Indianapolis that's right to decipher,

287
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: which is good. Dan Arlovsky, by the way, again to

288
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: join is coming up bottom of the hour just about

289
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes from now, and he has a very interesting

290
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: piece that he's done on the seven traits necessary in

291
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And I can't wait to talk to the

292
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: former Colts quarterback of course now with ESPN about what

293
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: he has seen both from Anthony Richardson and Daniel Joe

294
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: Ozones and continue the conversation about it. If you have

295
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. Do you have none? We will do that

296
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: coming up just under fifteen minutes from now. Another thing

297
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on today, and it is not often,

298
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: despite my connection to it and my role within it,

299
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: it's not often that we talk Indie car especially you know,

300
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: at the forefront of the show, just because there are

301
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: topics that, quite frankly, are of more interest to people

302
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: in this town, notably what we just talked about with

303
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: the Colts, you know, basketball, et cetera. And I'm not

304
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: naive enough to sit here and think that if I

305
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,119
Speaker 1: sat here and broke down for fifteen minutes the nuances

306
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: of what took place in a particular race, in particular

307
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: a non Indy five hundred race, that the audience would

308
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: be glued to the radio. But I want to touch

309
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: on something that happened yesterday that I think we all

310
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: can learn from because one of the things about sports

311
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: that makes sports great is that it can provide for

312
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: all of us a perspective, a roadmap of just how

313
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: to go about things. And elite level athletes, you know,

314
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: there are two kinds of athletes. There are those that

315
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: just are naturally gifted, and then there are those that

316
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: are just that discipline that they have gotten themselves in

317
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: a situation or position because of the discipline that they

318
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: showed to get to the mountaintop. I mean sure, and

319
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: even a Bo Jackson or a Dion Sanders, you know,

320
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: guys that are just so naturally gifted and seemingly come

321
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: out of the womb as elite level, faster, jump higher,

322
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: stronger guys. Even those guys you have to respect and

323
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: assume and give credit towards their discipline, their diet, their workout,

324
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: their commitment learning offenses. I think when we talk to

325
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: dan Arlovsky, you will notice this. You will notice when

326
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: we talk to dan Arlovsky sometimes, you know, the breakdown

327
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position of things that you should be seeing,

328
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: recognition of things that when you hear guys talk about

329
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: it that played the position at the highest level and

330
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: they will say to you, well, this is a you

331
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: look right here. I mean, this is a gap double

332
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: stunt blitz. This is the most you recognize and you

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: you know this stuff right out of the box playing quarterback.

334
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, I'm looking at it right now,

335
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: and this feels like you're teaching me algebra. I mean,

336
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: it is complex stuff. Right. So even the most gifted

337
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: natural talent has to learn those things. They have to

338
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: put time in the lab, they have to be committed.

339
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: And even with when you see at the top level

340
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: professional athletes, you are seeing a commitment. You are seeing

341
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: an ability to block out distraction. You are seeing men

342
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: and women that overcome odds, whether it be the mental odds,

343
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: whether it be the physical odds, whatever it might be,

344
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: to reach the zenith within the respective sport. And I

345
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: don't care if you're talking about an NFL quarterback or

346
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about somebody that is good at the steeplechase.

347
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't care whether you're talking about somebody in the

348
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: Olympics that is a long distance runner or somebody who's

349
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: one of those cross country skiers I'd ask to stop

350
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: and shoot a rifle. The mental focus necessary that you

351
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: are able to witness when you watch elite level athletes.

352
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: And when I say elite, I mean amongst the top

353
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: one percent of what it is that they Sure it

354
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: helps to be on the best team, Sure it helps

355
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: to be in the fastest car. But there are things

356
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: that we can see in witness that can carry forward

357
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: as a message to all of us that we can

358
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: learn from. And when I do broadcasts for IndyCar and

359
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: I go and I call the Indy five hundred or

360
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling the you know, whether it be yesterday's race

361
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: in Portland or the finale in Nashville in a couple

362
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, whatever it might be. Like all of you,

363
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: with whatever job you're in, there are times where it

364
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: is a job to me, and so I'm looking at

365
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: it through that lens of a sterile environment, of not

366
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: stepping back to truly absorb what it is that I'm witnessing,

367
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: because my job is to simply relay it and I'm

368
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: not I'm doing it antiseptically. But yesterday in Portland, Oregon,

369
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: there were two storylines that developed that I don't care

370
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: if you don't follow one iota of auto racing. I

371
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 1: don't care if you don't follow one single nuance of

372
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: sport in general. I don't care if you have never

373
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: even had a driver's license and you don't care one

374
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: iota about the automobile and you've never been to the

375
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis five hundred. There were two storylines yesterday with two

376
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: different drivers that when I was sitting there and watching

377
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: it and witnessing it, and then talking to both of

378
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: them over the course of the weekend, I realized that

379
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: what I was seeing was something that I had a

380
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: privilege to be able to witness up close and personal

381
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: of a storyline that finally came to its conclusion, and

382
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: that it is my job and responsibility to share with

383
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: the audience what it was that I witnessed and what

384
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: makes it special, because you don't have to be a

385
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: fan of the sport to be able to relate to

386
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: and connect to your everyday life what I saw from

387
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: not one but two different athletes yesterday, and I'll tell

388
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: you what that is and why it's special and why

389
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: it's unique and why you don't have to be a

390
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: race fan to appreciate it. And I'll do that over

391
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: the course of today as well. Mike Chapel joining us

392
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: two o'clock Dan Orlovsky ESPN and his thoughts on the

393
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Colts quarterbacking situation and the traits of a quarterback. We

394
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: will get into that with Dan Arlovsky and we will

395
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: do it next. You're listening to Quarian Company here ninety

396
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: three five and one of seven five of the Fan

397
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Great Song, Great Song and Bittersweet Symphony. The name of

398
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: the song. Listen, that kind of explains we were talking about.

399
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Odyssey is the odyssey of the Colts quarterbacking situation right

400
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: in the fact that there are times that it is

401
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: like a symphony of poetry in motion when you look

402
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: at Anthony Richardson the way he throws the ball, for example.

403
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: There are also times where you know it can be

404
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: bittersweet because you take the good with the bad and

405
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: you just you never know from one thing to the next,

406
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: one play, one drive to the next, how things are

407
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: going to fare. But I thought it was interesting that

408
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: dan Arlovsky, who obviously knows the position well and does

409
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: an outstanding job on ESPN of articulating the quarterback position

410
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: and just kind of what you can look for how

411
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: to call him where he lists the seven traits of

412
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, and dan Arlovsky in doing so, you

413
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: know things like pocket presence, footwork, arm strength. There's no

414
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: Colts quarterback mentioned. And I don't mean that as an

415
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: indictment on Arlovsky at all. I think it's that speaks

416
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: to the mediocrity that the Colts may be stuck in

417
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: at the quarterbacking spot. But wanted to talk to him

418
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: about that and more of course he needs little introduction

419
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: in the city of Indianapolis, but I'll do it. Nonetheless,

420
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: he is with ESPN now and Dan Arlofsky joins us

421
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: on the program. Dan, how are you a man? I

422
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: appreciate at the time. Good to be with you.

423
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. How about yourself?

424
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: No complaints, man, except for and I guess this is

425
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: a good thing. It gives us plenty of talk to

426
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: talk about an indie. But we still just don't know

427
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: where the Colts are at the quarterbacking spot. So I'm

428
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: going to begin with this question point blank, and that is,

429
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: if you are in year three when it comes to

430
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson and I know the tantalizing upside, and we've

431
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: seen the glimpses of it, Dan, but you know this

432
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: position and you've played it. If you're in year three

433
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: and you still don't know exactly who a guy is,

434
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: does that actually tell you that you know exactly who

435
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: the guy is?

436
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 3: I think more often than not my answer would be yes.

437
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: But the kind of asterisks in this situation is just

438
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 4: a playing time, like he just hasn't played enough.

439
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 5: You know.

440
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 4: And so there's guys that are in year three and

441
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 4: they've you know, started almost every game and played a

442
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: ton of snaps and there hasn't been a ton of

443
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 4: growth indoor development for Anthony. It's you're still sitting there going,

444
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 4: can I string together you know, five, six, seven, eight

445
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: starts in a.

446
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 3: Row type of thing, and that has it really happened?

447
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: And so.

448
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 4: I think that's the continues to be the maddening thing.

449
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: And that's probably one of the things that was maddening,

450
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 4: you know, coming off of the game the other day,

451
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 4: is you know, he gets hurt, and he gets hurt

452
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 4: in part because it's completely in tune to some of

453
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 4: the things that are going on and instead of getting

454
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 4: him two three series and some meaningful work and you know,

455
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: maybe some upside and hope you're sitting there with you know,

456
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: an unanswered question once again.

457
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: You know that I want to go back to this

458
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Dan dan Orlovski, our guest, the play in which Anthony

459
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: Richardson was heard. And you know, so many people that

460
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: play the quarterback position or played it, look at it

461
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and say, guys, this is like football one oh one.

462
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: You learn this like in late high school, of this

463
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: recognition of a defense. It is that accurate. I mean,

464
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: you played the position and take me through that particular

465
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: play or just the level of were you incredulous over

466
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: the fact he didn't recognize it?

467
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: So, yeah, I think there is a reality that it

468
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 4: is a simple thing when it comes to the understanding

469
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 4: of us that when I rewind the tape and I

470
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: slow it down and it takes three minutes for me

471
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: to show kind of what's happening, there is a simplicity

472
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 4: to that.

473
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: When we're in.

474
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 4: A meeting room and we're going over on a board,

475
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: there's a simplicity to it.

476
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: There is also a very difficult element of he's.

477
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: Got to see kind of both sides of the field

478
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: happening at once. So while the truth to Anthony like, yes,

479
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: there there's a simple thing that we should know what

480
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: the problem is, also understanding that and then executing the

481
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 4: answer to that there is a challenge too. Do I

482
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: believe every started quarterback in the NFL should be capable

483
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: of doing that? Yes, Like, when he's sitting there and

484
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: it's clear what the protection is, it's clear who's got

485
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 4: where the offensive line is going. I mean, he looks

486
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: to his left because he's expecting that guy to be

487
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: the problem. I can understand that point of it. But

488
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 4: it's also telling me that you don't think the guy

489
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: on the opposite side or Anthony's right is a problem.

490
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: And so it tells me, like, you know step one.

491
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 4: What it also tells me is you're not thinking about

492
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 4: step two or step three.

493
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: That for me, is still a problem.

494
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: Yes, I think for Shane Steichen that's still a problem

495
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: because you've got to be able.

496
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 3: To trust the guy. This isn't you know, Like I

497
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: I was.

498
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: Trying to think about it in this regard guys, if

499
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: everyone can close their eyes and think back.

500
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: To the AFC Championship Game last.

501
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 4: Year, the fourth down, flakeball, Josh Allen runs for his life,

502
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: Kansas City brings the blitz and in the bulk incomplete

503
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 4: and the Bills don't get this. This isn't that. That

504
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 4: is what I call Star Wars, where you're like, hey,

505
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: you're going to get that one out of ten times.

506
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: This is one where Shane's got to its first down.

507
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 4: He's making a simple play call. We should as a

508
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 4: quarterback be able to handle that problem and know that problem.

509
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 4: So it's frustrating that he doesn't know it. Yes, I'm

510
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: not telling everybody, it's easy to actually go and get

511
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: done because I think seeing both sides it's hard.

512
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: It's hard. But he's telling me he doesn't even know

513
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 3: he needs to see both sides.

514
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: And that's the thing to me and Dan Alovski, our guest, Dan,

515
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I want to be clear here, I don't I don't

516
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: know Anthony Richardson on a personal level. I have no

517
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: reason to believe he's anything other than a nice None

518
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: of none of the critique of him as a football

519
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: player has anything to do with what I think of

520
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: him as a person, Right, I don't. That's unfair of me, sure,

521
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: but but I'm curious of this, and I want you

522
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: to opine here. You played, you know, big time college

523
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: football at Connecticut, you played in the NFL. I'm assuming you,

524
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: dan Arlovsky, probably through the majority of high school, were

525
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: the best player on the field when you walked out

526
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: there because you played in the NFL. Right, So I mean,

527
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: like I'm assuming, So let me ask. Let me begin

528
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: with this question, what level were you when you realized

529
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: you were no longer automatically the best player at practice?

530
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: I probably always thought that way, just because I was

531
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: never Anthony so athletically gifted. I was never that so

532
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: I kind of always had that element to my game.

533
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,479
Speaker 4: But certainly, you know, when I was at Yukon and

534
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: realizing to win and to play the level I there

535
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: had to be an understanding of the game for me

536
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: that was just so such a necessity for me to

537
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: play the style that I wanted to.

538
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: So the reason I ask it, and you can tell

539
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: me if it's the dumbest, you know, Freudian thing you've

540
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: ever heard, but I'm I'm just so fascinated by at

541
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: no fault of his. If Anthony Richardson is almost too

542
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: late to the game of trying to learn the game

543
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: because he didn't have to before, because he did have

544
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: those natural gifts for further along in his career that

545
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: separated him than most players have.

546
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: Not too late, not by any means. It's by no

547
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: means is.

548
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: It too late.

549
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of like physically just

550
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 4: unique talented athletes go through this at some juncture where

551
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: they're so physically gifted that there are parts of their

552
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 4: game that don't get the attention that are necessary for

553
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: them to become what that talent allowed or should allow

554
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: them to become. Patrick Mahomes, I mean, I was with

555
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford He's so physically gifted that other parts of

556
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: his game, it just took time for that to get there.

557
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: Anthony hasn't always had to know what the hot route

558
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: is or how to handle protections, one because he didn't

559
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: have to do it a ton in college. And then

560
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 4: two he's always been able to athletically make a player

561
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: run away from somebody. Shoot, I'll go to this guys,

562
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels. Last year there were times where like Washington

563
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 4: wouldn't even call like an NFL protection, we Paul full

564
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: slides where just everybody off in the offensive line goes

565
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: for the right and Jada would have to handle the

566
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: other guy.

567
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: The thing with Jaden is Jada knew that one guy

568
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: was the problem.

569
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: And so like it wasn't like he was at you know,

570
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage being a Peyton manning or Drew

571
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: Brees or a Brady fixing all the problems.

572
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: He just knew what the problem was. And so I

573
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: do think that.

574
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: Anthony's gotten by athletically, but you want to see him

575
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 4: and you it's going to be needed and demanded, And

576
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: I would say like this, Gary Kubiak was great coach

577
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: in Kyle Shanahan both were coaches of mine, and they

578
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: were great to get the quarterbacks to understand everybody's relying

579
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: on you to know this.

580
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: It's not just for you to play good.

581
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 4: Everybody is relying on you to be the problem solver. Everyone,

582
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: the players, the coaches, the people in the building.

583
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 3: And I've said that about Anthony and I'm not overreacting

584
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: to one play, but it is it is.

585
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 4: Hopefully another step in an eye opener of like, hey man,

586
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 4: we need you to really get this, because if we

587
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: can't call this on first and ten, it's either we

588
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 4: can't call our offense or we need a different quarterback running.

589
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: It is that different quarterback Daniel Jones. Has Daniel Jones

590
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: shown you Dan so far? And I know that Daniel

591
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: Jones is new to Indianapolis and he's got to learn

592
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: that offense and those cadences as well, But have you

593
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: seen anything from him that shows glimpse that you know what?

594
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: They're going to be okay if it doesn't work out

595
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: with Richardson.

596
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 4: I think they would be okay. Sure, I don't think

597
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 4: anybody wants that. I don't think the roster has set

598
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: up for that. In hopes. I thought Daniel looked sharp

599
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 4: I did, you know, Daniel's not perfect either. Daniel has

600
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: struggled with kind of the same stuff, you know, handling

601
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 4: pressures or diagnosing pressures.

602
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: You know.

603
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of why what I when I

604
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: brought up to a d and Tyler Warren stuff was.

605
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: You know, at some point it does become like what

606
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: quarterback do you right now, like in this very moment today,

607
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 4: what quarterback do you believe gets those playmakers the ball

608
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: more consistently?

609
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: You can make the case it's Daniel, like you can

610
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: at least the young talented guys are going to get

611
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 3: the ball, you know, And so Daniel looks sharp to me.

612
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 4: I really believe that I'm not gonna sit here and

613
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 4: tell anybody that you know, Daniel Jones is gonna, you know,

614
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: be the starting quarterback and have a Sam Darnold type

615
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: of year. I think they he would keep them afloat,

616
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: but he doesn't have the that nearly the potential of

617
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 4: what Anthony does.

618
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Do they need to at some point and obviously I

619
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: know the answer to this that you know, realistically logistically,

620
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: Dan ar Lovsky is our guest from ESPN. Do the

621
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: Colts though need to come out even if they aren't

622
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: certain on which it is. Just for the sake of

623
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: clarity in the NFL, do you have to come out

624
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: at some point and say this is our guy, this

625
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: is who we're staying by and barring injury, he is

626
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: the guy. Because of the old adage that if you

627
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks you have none, do they need to

628
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: just push in or can they kind of go and

629
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: work their massage this through the first quarter of the year.

630
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that you would preferably have your quarterback

631
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: their started decided after week two of the preseason. I

632
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 4: think this could be a case where it might get

633
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 4: to week three. I whoever wins that initial quarterback competition,

634
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 4: I think they get like four to six weeks and

635
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: it's either going well and working or it isn't. Because

636
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: if you go with Anthony and it's it's you know, going.

637
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: Well, great, and if it's not going at some point, you.

638
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 4: Know, there's just the reality of like having to go

639
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 4: win games, you know, and everyone else you know doing

640
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 4: right by the locker room. And if you go with

641
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 4: Daniel and you know it's struggling the talent, you're only

642
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: going to be able to keep on the bench for

643
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 4: so long. So I think whoever you know wins that

644
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 4: initial race is you give them four to six weeks

645
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 4: and it's very clear, like, hey, this is the opportunity

646
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 4: and it's just the way it shakes out, dan.

647
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Our Lobscar Guest. One other thing, Dan, I appreciate your time.

648
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: I know you're a busy guy. I did want to

649
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: get this from you. Of the thirty two quarterbacks that

650
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: start in the NFL, how many of them truly do

651
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: have that computer mind where they walk up and instantly

652
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: can recognize a defensive stuff or whatever it might be.

653
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: I mean theoretically, because we're here in Indianapolis and we're saying,

654
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: look andrewl Okay to Peyton Manning had okay, Well, I

655
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: mean yeah, two of the like biggest savants of all time. Realistically,

656
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: in your opinion, Dan Arlovsky, you played in the nfnin

657
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: that we're at Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones to be

658
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: right now, I'd.

659
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: Probably give you twelve to fourteen. You know easily comfortably

660
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: that are that are capable of on a consistent basis

661
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 4: handling all that stuff and you know, fixing the problem

662
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 4: and knowing what the problem is and fixing it.

663
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: Twelve to fourteen at a minimum would be my answer.

664
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: And is that pretty you think part for the course?

665
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, are we in like a dry period or

666
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: is it at any time? Is that realistically what you're

667
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: looking you know, a third of the league.

668
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: Basically, Yeah, I think I would say that's probably consistently

669
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 4: what it is. You know, it depends on you know,

670
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: obviously how many rookies are playing and.

671
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: What style of offenses.

672
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 4: But I think you know you're you're talking probably closer

673
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 4: to half of the league truly being consistently capable of

674
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: handling that.

675
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: Again. The article right now up at ESPN dot com

676
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: ranking NFL quarterbacks by trade best, arm accuracy and more

677
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: from Dan Arlovsky breaking down arm strength, ball placement, mechanics,

678
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: decision making, pocket presence, rushing ability, second reaction, all of it.

679
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: Great breakdown, Dan, appreciate the time. I know you got

680
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: to get in there, but certainly appreciate you're letting us

681
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: chat you up today. And really good perspective.

682
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: Thanks, Bud. I appreciate you having me.

683
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Dan Arlofsky joining us from ESPN. Really

684
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: good stuff and pictured right there in that and Eddie,

685
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: this is one of those that you and I've talked

686
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: about because I know where you stand on him. He

687
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: has pictured within the column Trevor Lawrence, but there are

688
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: not a lot of mentions of Trevor Lawrence. I only

689
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: mention that because he's within the division and the clock

690
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: seems to be ticking there right just in terms of

691
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: whether or not, because that's a guy that goes to

692
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: show you with what feels like can't miss guys. You know,

693
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they come out and every

694
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: single tool was there coming out of college per se.

695
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: But again then all of a sudden, right situation, wrong situation, injury, learn, premature,

696
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: You just never know. At the position. Fifteen minutes from now,

697
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I saw over the course of

698
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: the weekend. Two things, two stories that I think translate

699
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: to all of us, and you don't have to be

700
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: a fan of sports to appreciate them. I'll tell you

701
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: that in fifteen and chap at two o'clock, it's quiring

702
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: company here in the fan again a reminder, and I

703
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: realize that people have and I do appreciate it, and

704
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: I always appreciate I think people know my nocturnal hours

705
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: as well, so I get a kick out of it

706
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: like one in the morning when someone will send me

707
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: a text like hey, quick question. And one of the

708
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: things that I've really enjoyed about this show in giving

709
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: out my cell phone number, which I've done for you.

710
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean, for years on the radio, I've given out

711
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: my cell phone number and told people to text me

712
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: and interact. And I have really enjoyed and appreciated, probably

713
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: more than the sports talk, the people that have reached

714
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: out to me because of something we talked about, or

715
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: just something on a personal note that they had a

716
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: question about or that they were going through or they

717
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: thought I was going through. And the conversations and the

718
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: sometimes even phone conversations that have taken place. When I

719
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: went on my trip to co Oasis, I remember telling

720
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: my cousin, I'm like, yeah, I was actually up until

721
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: like three point thirty in the morning last night on

722
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: the phone just because of you know, somebody that texted

723
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: and then that that led to a conversation and you know,

724
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: important stuff to chat about. I've always enjoyed that. But

725
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: in terms of this show, in this radio station now

726
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: and it is very cool you can text interact with

727
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: all of us at two three, nine, ten seventy that

728
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: is the text number three one seven two three nine

729
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: ten seventy the number that you would call you can

Speaker 1: You know, we all see it. We all can Mark

733

Speaker 1: Dyton can interact James and get your thoughts on what

734
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,279

735
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: that we have upcoming, what you'd like to hear from

736
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: the show, et cetera. So two three, nine ten seventy

737
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: is the number wee can also text on this program

738
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: and to the station itself. Last night, Eddie, I had

739
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: a bit of a harrowing situation. Okay, you wait what

740
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a harrowing situation, harrowin what

741
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: not that although.

742
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't I know, you're nothing's off the table.

743
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: I was. Now, let me tell you one brilliant thing

744
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: that I that I've done one area where I'm I

745
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: just pride myself on being savvy without saying that. So

746
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: I belonged to a particular gym here in town that

747
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Isaal Chain and it's a very nice gym. I love it.

748
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: It's I love it well. I mean, I'll just say.

749
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: You know, so I go to Lifetime here in town,

750
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: and I love it. I've been the member there for

751
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: twenty years and I love the people there, you know,

752
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: the regulars that I see stretch down. Yep, Bob stretches.

753
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: It calls me the trampoline Bob does when he stretches

754
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: my hamstrings. Bob, by the way, are you ready for this? Eddie? Bob,

755
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: the trainer that stretches me at the gym, lives and

756
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: commutes from Fort Wayne every day.

757
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: Really can you believe that lives in Fort Wayne? Give

758
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: me more dedication than you and I have serious dedication.

759
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: But Lifetime Fitness, you know, it's a national chain, so

760
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: if you're a remember at one, you can go to

761
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: the different clubs. When I travel, and in particular, if

762
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: a race is complete and I have time between the

763
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: end of the race and then when my flight home

764
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: is to shower, yes I will go and find And

765
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: not every city has a Lifetime. There is a Lifetime

766
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: Fitness in suburban Portland, but it's closed on Saturday and Sunday.

767
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,240
Speaker 1: I found that peculiar. But I guess actually out there

768
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: not as much because people are so active outdoors hiking,

769
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, it's beautiful there. But I

770
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: also have a second membership to a gym that has

771
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: multiple locations that I use almost entirely for the shower

772
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: purpose only when I'm on the road. And yesterday, in fact,

773
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I'm like, okay, they have

774
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: multiple locations in the Portland area. I have plenty of

775
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: time to kill before my flight. I'm going to go

776
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: to the one in Beaverton because that's where Nike is headquartered.

777
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: So I assume that's like a nice suburb and thus

778
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: it would be a nicer variation of said gem. So

779
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: I went to it. It was nice, it was big gem.

780
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: Whatever else. And to your point, Eddie, true story. I showered.

781
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: I was so proud of myself. I'm walking out and

782
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty pretty sure that in the parking lot I

783
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: saw a needle just on the ground. Can we see

784
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: some doping very very careful, Well, yes, but in the

785
00:42:54,600 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: not in the muscle variation, not in the the steroid

786
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: baseball way. But anyway, So I get to the airport

787
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: and everything else and I connected. I landed, I flew

788
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: through Seattle. I land in Seattle, and I'm waiting in

789
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: line to board my flight from Seattle to Indy and

790
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: at some point and it was a tight connection and

791
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: we landed in like Terminal B, and I had to

792
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: go to Terminal INN. So I mean it was a

793
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: hall like I think there were trains involved. I mean,

794
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: I can barely remember because it was, you know, for us,

795
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: like two o'clock in the morning. It's kind of a haze.

796
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: But anyway, a literally a sprint to get to the

797
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: gate and I'm waiting there to get on the plane,

798
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like Taylor Kyle, who is

799
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: one of the managing directors for Ganassi, I'm standing there

800
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: talking with him and we're about to board the plane

801
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: and this lady, all of a sudden, these people start

802
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: jumping up down screaming like sir, sir. And I looked down, yeah,

803
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: and they go, you're you're bleed. And I look at

804
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: my right leg is completely covered in blood. And then

805
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: and I realized, I just like it's somehow along the

806
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: way during the trains for I don't know if I

807
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, hit it against something navigating, you know, it

808
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: is in these airports and you're you know, I mean,

809
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: on the on the train from the terminals whatever. But

810
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: literally I had like a nick, I mean like a

811
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: hangnail nick on my calf, but I'm on blood dinners,

812
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: so it's literally like a geiser. Right well, literally people

813
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: are passing out, kids are vomiting, women are fanning themselves.

814
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: Men are you know, just agast in horror as I

815
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: have this leg that now suddenly looks like one of

816
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: those fire hydrants that they open up in the summertime

817
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: for kids when it's hot outside with and I'm literally

818
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: staying to everybody, it's fine, folks, it's fine. It's just

819
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: a nick. I'm on blood thinners, and I had in

820
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 1: my back and this, I said, this is my life,

821
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: story of my life, don't worry about it. And I

822
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: got out a napkin to wipe my leg up, but

823
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: whatever it was on my leg actually had already dried.

824
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: So now so now I've got like this dried cat,

825
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: this cake of a red paint down my leg. And

826
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: I had to get all that taken up, and I

827
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: realized I had a thing of alcohol eyeglass lens wiping

828
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: things in my so I opened up one of those

829
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: clean it off real quick. I'm doing my own first

830
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: aid kit right there. While this is all happening. They

831
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: then start boarding, and I want to make sure that

832
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't have to check my bag so that when

833
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: I land in Indie, I don't have to wait for it.

834
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, you know what, folks, I'd like

835
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: to go ahead and make this more hygienic, but it's

836
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: all about me and my time. So I got to

837
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: get on the plane and I had in my bag

838
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: a small band aid. And might I add, this is

839
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: a whole topic for a hold of her show, But

840
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: I had a small band aid. But the only band

841
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: aids that I had in my bag true story, and

842
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: there's a whole different talk show to this, but were

843
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: lion King band aids. So they have like the little

844
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: lion King characters on okay, So I put one of

845
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: those on my leg and then, as a fifty two,

846
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: very soon to be fifty three year old man with

847
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 1: blood on my leg and a lion King band aid,

848
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: I boarded the plane, sat down, and next thing I

849
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: knew we were in Indy's all good, But I did

850
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: I apologize if last night you were in in thirteen

851
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: in the Seattle Tacoma airport and you thought seeing like

852
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: right before you that you were seeing some sort of

853
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: gore and a gas horror. It's just a simple nick

854
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: in the blood thinners, that's it. But I did see

855
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: something yesterday in Portland that I think is relatable to

856
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: all of us, and I think it's something that we

857
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: all can learn from. And I'll explain next good looking

858
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: day outside on a Monday. How are you. My name

859
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: is Jake Quarry, Eddie Garrison. The other voice you hear

860
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: on this program. We call it Querying Company here on

861
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: ninety three five and one oh seven five. The fan,

862
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: the company, all of you who I most appreciate you

863
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: allowing us to keep you company over the course of today.

864
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: Folks like Neil that told me that they hear the

865
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: majority of the show because I didn't do anything all day.

866
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: You say, I just sit around listen to the radio.

867
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: That must be nice, but it's appreciated. I had not one,

868
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: but two different people stopped me in Portland yesterday, one

869
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: from Endretti and one from ECR. Guys that say they

870
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: hear us in the shop, and that is also much appreciated.

871
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: And we do our best to not only educate and entertain,

872
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: but also keep you up to speed on what's going

873
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: on with the Colts with the quarterbacking position. Mike Chapel

874
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: joins us at two o'clock. We'll get into that obviously,

875
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: the fever in the midst of their season, and then

876
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: dealing with what happens in sports, right, just the attrition

877
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: of a roster. We'll get into that still over the

878
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: course of today, and the College Football AP preseason Top

879
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: twenty five is out. We'll break that down in just

880
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: a minute. But let me let me tell you what

881
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: is to me the part of our job that is challenging,

882
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: but at times I guess rewarding. I don't know that

883
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: I necessarily when we're doing it, you don't realize this, Okay,

884
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: for all of you and whatever you do in whatever

885
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: line of work that you're in, when you're listening to us,

886
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: there are probably times where you exercise or do something

887
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: at work that is just almost like a muscle memory, right,

888
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: and after the fact, you realize that you do what

889
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: you do because of that. I mean, you've done it

890
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: for a long time. And I think that when you

891
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: do what we do for a living, and we're very

892
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: fortunate to do and I'm talking about sports talk radio,

893
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: you can very easily just say yeah. I mean I

894
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: talked for three hours a day about sports, and that

895
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: is that. There's a muscle memory to that. And I don't,

896
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination, ever go out of

897
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: my way to try to come up with a different angle,

898
00:48:56,239 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: a different perspective. I think that's non organic, and I

899
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: think that it's I think you, folks, the listener, it

900
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: would be a discredit to you, It would be a

901
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: disrespect to you to like, as I always say, when

902
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: you go out of your way to be unique, you

903
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: are in fact ordinary. And so I don't, nor do

904
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: I think Eddie, nor do I think Kevin John. I

905
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: can't speak for everybody else, but I think I'm true

906
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: in saying this, and that is that we are who

907
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: we are. That's one of the things about this radio

908
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: station that I like with with all of our colleagues

909
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: is we are who we are. You know, you don't

910
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: hear anybody here that's trying to play a character. We're

911
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: just we're just dudes. You know that that talk sports.

912
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: Well, one of us says, Eddie a character Jake, huh okay.

913
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Every once in a while, though,

914
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: something jumps out to me that reminds me of the

915
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: privilege of our access, and we are, within this job,

916
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: the intermediate. We're the link between a fan of a

917
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: franchise or a program, and to a great extent, we

918
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: are all fans as well, but we're fans that have

919
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: the access or the ability to see things and then

920
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: relay it back to the audience. And I am well

921
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: aware in my job as a broadcaster for IndyCar and

922
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis five hundred, I am certainly well aware

923
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: of the esoteric nature of the sport of auto racing

924
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: within the grand scheme of things Indianapolis. Perhaps it has

925
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: a larger percentage than piece of the pie than a

926
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: lot of markets. But even still, in an era and

927
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: in a world now where I think everything but the

928
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: NFL is a niche sport, I understand that IndyCar is

929
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: a niche sport and that while there are people that

930
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: are aware of it in Indianapolis, it's a smaller percentage

931
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: of people that are passionate about it. But let me

932
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 1: tell you something that I think just can be transferable

933
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: to all five years ago. Actually, I guess it would

934
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: have been technically in my years all run together. So

935
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: my apologies here when it comes to the COVID stuff,

936
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: but I guess it would have been five years ago.

937
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: So in the twenty twenty race season as COVID took

938
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: hold of the sports world in general, and you remember

939
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: what a weird time it was. Someday there will be

940
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: a thirty for thirty about it, about what a weird

941
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: time it was. Where we were watching auto racers race

942
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: against each other on simulators on video games because we

943
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: wanted something to watch. And we were watching Korean baseball

944
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: at four o'clock in the morning because they were playing

945
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: it and we needed something to see. And the Tiger

946
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: King became a household phenomen because everybody was quarantined. It

947
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: was all watching stuff and doing group text with their friends.

948
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: I have a group text with my friends the tracksuits

949
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: and Tiger Queens. We call it of people from high

950
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: school that started during COVID when all that was going on,

951
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: it was a very surreal time. But with IndyCar and

952
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: with the racing series, the racing season of twenty twenty

953
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: did run, but it was later in the year because

954
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: of of course, the quarantine and the shutdown that took

955
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: place in the first half of twenty twenty. So one

956
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: of the promising young drivers of that time was Alex

957
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: Polo and Alex Polo at that time, IndyCar because everybody

958
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: was thirsting for information and content and anything to be entertaining.

959
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: IndyCar reached out to me and said, Hey, we're thinking

960
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: about doing just like zoom calls with different drivers that

961
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: people can watch to just get to know them and

962
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing during quarantine. Would you be willing to

963
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: do one of these with Alex Polow? And I said sure,

964
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: And I didn't really know anything about Alex Polow. So

965
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: we go and I do this. You know, I'm in

966
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: one location, he's in another location, and it's broadcasted, you

967
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: know whatever else of just this interview. And I remember

968
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: Alex Bolow. He spoke English, but it wasn't near the

969
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: fluent level that he does today. And I remember thinking

970
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: to myself, like, I don't know what there is. This

971
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: guy's from Barcelona, Spain. He's part owner of a coffee

972
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: store in Barcelona. What possibly can I talk to him

973
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 1: about that is relatable to people in the United States

974
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: and in Indianapolis where people can look at it and

975
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: go I can relate to that. And what I found

976
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: was a guy that was very like confident, I guess,

977
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: but at the same time just a quiet, unassuming guy

978
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: as a personality. And even then, when I got done

979
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: with that interview, I remember thinking to myself, I don't

980
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: know what it is that this guy hasn't with anybody

981
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: who's a fan of IndyCar. And it hit me yesterday

982
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: because shortly after I did that interview with Alex Polow,

983
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: who was driving for dale Coin Racing and had had

984
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: not a lot of success in that year, we were

985
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year and I was at

986
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: mid Ohio and I was walking through the paddock and

987
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,479
Speaker 1: I saw Alex Polow and went up to simply say, hey,

988
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you did that interview. And this was

989
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: back when like everyone had a mask on and you

990
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: had to stand six feet from one another. I mean,

991
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: it was still very awkward. It's all surreal. But in

992
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: talking to him, I said, so, what are your plans

993
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: for next year? And he looked at me, and if

994
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: you remember back when people wore masks, it was weird

995
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: because you couldn't see their facial expression at all time,

996
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: but you could see their eyes, and I could see

997
00:54:53,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: in his eyes his level of concern on certainty and doubt.

998
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: And he looked at me and said, I have nothing.

999
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: I have nothing for next year. I don't have any money,

1000
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't have any sort of a guaranteed ride. I

1001
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: have nothing. But what we didn't know was that Alex Polo,

1002
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: during his journey to IndyCar, had raced in a series

1003
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: in Japan that Mike Hole, the managing director for chip

1004
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: Ganassi Racing, felt was a series that best prepared drivers

1005
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: for a versatility in skill set as a driver, and

1006
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: Alex Polo had dominated in that series, and it caught

1007
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: the eye of Mike Hole. And what Alex Polo didn't know,

1008
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: and what I didn't know while we were standing there talking,

1009
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: is that Mike Hole was talking with chip Ganassi saying

1010
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: this Alex Polo is a guy with great promise and potential.

1011
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: And so Polo ends up signing with chip Ganassi. And

1012
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: he has won now four of the last five IndyCar

1013
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: championships for the seat. He has become just the third

1014
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: driver in the history of the sport to win three

1015
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: straight season championships. He accomplished it yesterday. He did not

1016
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: win the race yesterday. He was going for the win,

1017
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: but he won the season championship, and he secured that

1018
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: yesterday he joins Ted Horn and Dario Frankidi, is the

1019
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: only two drivers to do that in three straight years.

1020
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: And I don't pretend, by any stretch of the imagination

1021
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: to expect that many people listening to me right now

1022
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: are such nuanced IndyCar fans that they're like, man, this

1023
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: is awesome to hear about this IndyCar Championship. But all

1024
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: of you can relate to a story of somebody who

1025
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: had a doubt, perhaps about their uncertainty, who had an

1026
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: insecurity about their future, but still a belief in themselves,

1027
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: and they couldn't let other people know that they themselves

1028
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: were a little bit afraid. But his eyes showed it,

1029
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 1: but he didn't allow it to outwardly be seen because

1030
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: then he ended up signing with Chip Ganassi and everything

1031
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: I told you has unfolded. So yesterday, when he won

1032
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: the championship, I talked to Alex Polow and said, like,

1033
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: what a ride, And he said, and you know what

1034
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 1: it's all come about, because even with each step, even

1035
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: with each win, and he has eight of them right now,

1036
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: he has the chance still to tie Alanzer and aj

1037
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: Foryd for the most ever wins in a season of

1038
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: auto racing in North America. That still is in the

1039
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: table for him. But he said, even through all of that,

1040
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: when I look back at the journey, it was all

1041
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: because I never allowed myself to think beyond just simply

1042
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: winning the next race. And he had a situation did

1043
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: Alex Polow, where he tried to leave Ganassei to go

1044
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: into Errow McLaren as it was known then, and signed

1045
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: a contract because he thought it would be an opening

1046
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: for him to go to Formula one, and he didn't

1047
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: look at the fine print of his contract to find

1048
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: that he actually was in voided the contract, and then

1049
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: there was a lawsuit going on, and amidst all of this,

1050
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: all of this legality, all of this fine that was

1051
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: being imposed on him by his own employer, he still

1052
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: went out every single day and won a championship. And

1053
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: the reason he did it and the reason why yesterday

1054
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: he was able to look at me and say, like,

1055
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: what a journey it's been, is because he never, through

1056
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: the craziness, lost sight of the little things, and the

1057
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: little things sometimes are just going about and seizing and

1058
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: winning that day, not the week, not the month, but

1059
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: that day, and it's applicable to so many things in life,

1060
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: and I think we lose sight of it. And when

1061
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: I talked earlier about the fact that when we see

1062
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: elite level athletes and we see those that are performing

1063
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: at the highest level, we assume that what we are

1064
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: seeing are those that are simply the most physically gifted

1065
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: one percent. But we lose sight of the fact that

1066
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 1: sometimes what we see also are the most elite focused

1067
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 1: one percent. And we will never have the ability to

1068
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: run like a Bo Jackson, will have the ability to

1069
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: throw a football like a Josh Allen, will never have

1070
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: the ability to hit a curveball like a Tony Gwinn

1071
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: or to pitch a fastball like shohe Atani. But we

1072
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: can all replicate the focus in the dedication and the

1073
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: principle of not losing sight of the simple and letting

1074
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: the simple define the great, which takes us to the

1075
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: other situation that happened yesterday. While I'm talking to Alex

1076
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: Poalo about his championship, I'm also aware of the fact

1077
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: that the race itself was won by will power and

1078
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: will Power drives for the biggest team in motorsports in

1079
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: North America. Historically, Team Penske, Roger Penske's team has won

1080
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: at least one race every year since nineteen ninety nine

1081
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: uninterrupted over a quarter century. They have never been shut out.

1082
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: And Roger Penske right now has three drivers in his stable,

1083
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Scott McLaughlin, Joe of Newgarden and will Power. And will

1084
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Power because he's over the age of forty and there's

1085
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of question mark about his future and his

1086
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: contract is coming to an end, there is this assumption

1087
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: that will Power it's a FATA complee, that he is

1088
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: in his last year with Team Penske, that he is

1089
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: going to be if he wants to continue his racing career,

1090
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: have to find a job elsewhere, because a young buck

1091
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: named David Malucas is thought to be in the wings

1092
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:30,959
Speaker 1: waiting to take over his job. And will Power, who

1093
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: is a native of Australia and drives within this series

1094
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: and within the job of working for Team Penske, met

1095
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: his wife, Liz, who is from Texas but went to

1096
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: high school Indiana, and they had they're this great couple,

1097
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: and then Liz Power got critically ill. I think most

1098
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: people know this by now a few years ago and

1099
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: literally Liz Power was fighting for her life, and while

1100
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: she's fighting for her life, will Power is not only

1101
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: tending to his wife and the mother of their child,

1102
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: but at the same time then going out and having

1103
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: to race knowing that there's already talking speculation that his

1104
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: contract is going to eventually be up and what are

1105
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: they going to do with it? And will Power through

1106
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: all of that noise, through all of that drama, through

1107
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: all of that heartache and turmoil, and thankfully Liz is

1108
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: healthy now and on the road to recovery. But throughout

1109
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: all of that, will Power sees Scott McLaughlin, who's a likable, personable,

1110
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: nice looking pole winning an Indianapolis driver, and Joseph Neugart

1111
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: who wins back to back Indy five hundreds and is

1112
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: the face of the sport, and will Power is sitting

1113
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: there just having to go through and do his thing

1114
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: with everything going on in his personal life and discussion

1115
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: about his future and about his contract, and worrying about

1116
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: his wife and staying up late night and giving her

1117
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: medication and doing all of that and being just as

1118
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: loyal to her as she's been to him. And it's

1119
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a great story of the two of them. But through

1120
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: all of that. When it comes down to it, then

1121
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: you get this season of all this turmoil with Team Penske,

1122
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: where you have violations in Indianapolis and moving to the

1123
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: back of the field for cars, and allegations of not

1124
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: even allegations of, but a rule violation a year ago

1125
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: at Saint Petersburg and firings that took place amongst the

1126
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: brass of the race team itself, and all of this

1127
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,919
Speaker 1: turmoil is going on in a season where Roger Penske's team,

1128
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: for the first time in over a quarter century, is

1129
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: at risk of not winning a single race. And it

1130
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: was will power, with everything going on, that was the

1131
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: one that kept the streak alive for Team Penske by

1132
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: winning that RACEUS yesterday. And I understand that not many

1133
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: people listening to my voice right now are diehards of

1134
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: any car. And I understand that not many people listening

1135
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,919
Speaker 1: to my voice right now were glued in to see

1136
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: what happened in the bit Nile Grand per Portland. But

1137
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I think that most people listening to my voice are

1138
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: fans of and aware of human interest stories that make

1139
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: the elite of the elite relatable to us, and all

1140
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: of us have situations where we doubt at work whether

1141
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: or not the boss likes what we're doing. All of

1142
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: us have situations where we wonder how we're going to

1143
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: handle a personal adversity without people at work knowing exactly

1144
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: what's going on, because we have a job to do

1145
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: and you've got to stay focused on it. And all

1146
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: of us have those things going on where we can

1147
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: relate to a guy that literally says I have nothing

1148
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: other than belief in myself and gets a chance to

1149
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: then be a multi champion by focusing on the day

1150
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: to day, And all of us have relatability to somebody

1151
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: who says, I have a young gun that's coming from

1152
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: my job where I was once the promising rising star,

1153
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: but now I'm the fading guy. But yet I'm just

1154
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: going to keep going about my business and winning. And

1155
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: will Power did that and Alex Palou did it, both

1156
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: on the same day and both with the same principle

1157
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: in something that I think is relatable to all of us.

1158
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: And we can sit there and watch sports and feel

1159
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: like we are not on the level of professional athletes,

1160
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: but we are on the level as humans, and that,

1161
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,479
Speaker 1: to me is what is the beauty of sport. After

1162
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the race. Yesterday, I went to dinner before I came

1163
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: back and I started talking to this couple next to

1164
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: me from Portland, and the guy actually was from Fort

1165
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: Wayne and we were talking about sports in general, and

1166
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: his wife said she was commenting about the fact that

1167
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: her father, she and her father bonded through her childhood

1168
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: through sport because her dad was a Boston Red Sox fan.

1169
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: And she said to me, you know, that's the thing

1170
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: about sports, isn't it. And that's what I've always said

1171
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: is sports unifies the masses like no other. That concert

1172
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: that I went to, and I know people are tired

1173
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: of hearing about it in Manchester though, but it was

1174
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: so special to me because I realized that I was

1175
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: amidst all these people that have nothing in common with

1176
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: one another other than a mutual soundtrack of their life

1177
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and appreciation for it. And in sports, oftentimes, when you

1178
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: go to a game, you have nothing in common with

1179
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: the people in the arena other than a love for

1180
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: the same team. And when we talk about sports on

1181
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: this job, and when we look at it and when

1182
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I try to offer insider perspective, I realized that at

1183
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: times there's something that I witnessed that I'm privileged to that.

1184
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it's my job to illustrate because it

1185
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: means that you are closer to these athletes and what

1186
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: they go through than you think, because they give us

1187
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: example of how just the day to day is the

1188
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: focus and not always the long term because you've got

1189
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: to walk before you can run. The AP Top twenty

1190
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: five preseason is out, Eddie, I'm gonna give have you

1191
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: give me a number one through twenty five off the

1192
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: top of your head right now. You're gonna win season

1193
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: tickets for a year, Eddie, season tickets for a year

1194
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to the team of the number you choose. Now, you

1195
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: can't say one through five because you know it's gonna

1196
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: be a big time programm. So let's go six through

1197
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: twenty five, Eddie Garrison, give me a number six through

1198
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty five right now? Nine nine, number nine, number nine.

1199
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: Are you Beatles fan? Number nine? Now, give me a

1200
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: number for myself. Twelve twelve, All right, I'll let you

1201
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: know who it is, and I will let you know

1202
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: where Hurt Signett's team. Just win, baby, google me. I

1203
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: did exactly that, and I'll let you know where the

1204
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Hoosiers ranked.

1205
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 4: Next.

1206
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: I just get a kick out of this, Jake, I'd

1207
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: like to know where Notre Dame ranks in the poll

1208
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: because I'm from Indiana and I love all Indiana teams,

1209
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: which Notre Dame most certainly is, and I think this

1210
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: is an Indiana sports talk show. Okay, Notre Dame again,

1211
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: I go back to, Yes, Notre Dame is located in Indiana.

1212
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: That is correct. Number one. Teasing will let you know

1213
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: where Indiana or where Notre Dame is ranked isn't quite, frankly,

1214
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: as big a story because everyone knows they're going to

1215
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: be ranked in the top five. I mean, it is

1216
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. Notre Dame is going to the college

1217
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: football playoff. That is a certainty. Right now. They are sixth,

1218
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: by the way, which means Eddie Garrison was just three

1219
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: away from winning season tickets to Notre Dame. Look, I

1220
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: get the fact, the reason why, if you really want

1221
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: to know the truth, the reason why. And yesterday last year,

1222
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: I think this show we talked as much Notre Dame

1223
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: as anybody. We had, Gosh, Eddie, I mean we had

1224
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame guest on for every week of probably

1225
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: the last six weeks of the season. Did we not yeah,

1226
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: tom Noy. I mean he was like a regular correspondent

1227
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: for the show. He was a fun guy or is

1228
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: a fun guy. But Notre Dame is they are a

1229
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: This is an age old debate with people Notre Dame fans,

1230
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: but they should take it actually with pride. Notre Dame

1231
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: is a national brand. I mean it happens to be

1232
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: based in Indiana, but it's a national brand. It's more

1233
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: so a national team than I think that you the

1234
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: reason why from a college standpoint, you hear more about

1235
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Indiana and Purdue in Indianapolis than you do. Notre Dame

1236
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: is number one because of the just it's not within

1237
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the television viewing market, but number two because Notre Dame

1238
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: is a national brand, meaning that you can get Notre

1239
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Dame coverage any and everywhere. As a Notre Dame fan,

1240
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: you should be proud of that, right whereas Indiana Purdue

1241
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: it's more locally based in terms of the coverage of

1242
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: those teams. You pick number nine, Eddie, and you got

1243
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: the team that actually leads off with my favorite team, LSU.

1244
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Really you got Brian Kelly. He is going to welcommute

1245
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:32,799
Speaker 1: to the family.

1246
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just going to exit stage left. Then they'll

1247
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 2: be ringked there for one week and then by week

1248
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 2: three they'll be out of the top twenty five. Thig

1249
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 2: So it's the Brian Kelly Special.

1250
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: LSU opens at Clemson. I'm a little nervous about that.

1251
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: By the way, you gave me number twelve, Is that right?

1252
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 2: Yep?

1253
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I got a team that This is again we

1254
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 1: are talking about the AP College football preseason Top twenty

1255
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: five that has been Really the team that I got

1256
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: at number twelve is a real sexy pick to be

1257
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: like this year's Indiana.

1258
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 2: But can they be though if they're ranked twelfth already?

1259
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Very fair? I just had that conversation with who was

1260
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: I talking to and I said exactly that. I said,

1261
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,599
Speaker 1: this team Matt Greco, my buddy MacGregor was a huge

1262
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: Nunbertnight fan as a matter of fact, And I said,

1263
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: who do you think is going to be? This year's team?

1264
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Just kind of comes out of nowhere. I go, what

1265
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 1: about Illinois? And he goes, yeah, but I mean the

1266
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: ranked twelfth? Okay, fair, but yes, Illinois is ranked twelfth.

1267
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: Indiana checks in at number twenty. Indiana's schedule pretty favorable though,

1268
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:38,799
Speaker 1: Right when.

1269
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 2: We did the exercise on Friday nine and three is

1270
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 2: where I had them.

1271
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: I think that's I mean, that feels about right the

1272
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: Big ten in general. You got Penn State at second,

1273
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Ohio State at third. And yes, I understand that it

1274
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: seems ridiculous to talk about the preseason rankings. They mean

1275
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: virtually nothing, and what is every everybody say it at

1276
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: some point they should even do rankers to week eight.

1277
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 1: But number one, it's fun. And number two, I do

1278
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: think that especially for teams that start out ranked really high,

1279
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: it gives you a good first couple of steps towards

1280
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the college football playoff now and the way that things rank,

1281
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: because if you just hold serve even if you are

1282
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: not and we've seen this from teams in the past,

1283
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 1: that if you start out with this high ranking, so

1284
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: long as you just hold serve and if you don't

1285
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: have an arduous schedule, then you can stay right there

1286
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: in the thicket in the hunt of things. Texas is

1287
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: number one. And before any of you say it, you

1288
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: know the coles to what they should do is they

1289
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: should just sacrifice everything and just start the march for Arch. Yeah, okay,

1290
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: I get it. Except for number one, there's no guarantee

1291
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: that arch Manning is going to come out. Number two,

1292
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: there are like ten different teams that are probably thinking

1293
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Number three, you would have to

1294
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: be absolutely horrific to get yourself. I mean, the Colts

1295
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 1: may be an enigma, but I don't think that they're

1296
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: one of the three worst teams in the league. And

1297
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: number four, and this is the one that I've said

1298
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 1: it before and I'll still say it, and I feel

1299
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: like I should say it quietly and then run off

1300
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: the stage. You know you've seen the ESPN thirty for thirty,

1301
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the Reggie Miller in The Knicks thirty for thirty where

1302
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Donnie Walsh talks about when he drafted Reggie Miller and

1303
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: he came out and he said, I came out and

1304
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: I said, it's Reggie Miller, and I ran off the

1305
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: stage because he knew everybody wanted Steve Alford. So I'm

1306
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: going to say this and then run off the stage.

1307
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm not certain arch Manning would sign here. Now, Is

1308
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: that too hot a hot take? I saw you roll

1309
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 1: your eyes, Eddie.

1310
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 4: No.

1311
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: If you look at Eli Manning was drafted by the

1312
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: Chargers and Archie Manning was like, no, you're not. He's

1313
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: not gonna play there, and so they traded him to

1314
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: New York. And I understand, I don't know this in

1315
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. I don't know. I'm not

1316
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: giving like some sort of insight like I'm telling you, folks,

1317
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm just saying my inner curiosity. That's a better way

1318
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 1: of saying it. Like inner curiosity is.

1319
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: With arch Manning, your freudy in thinking.

1320
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:27,719
Speaker 1: Yes, I think Peyton Manning has only been hurt truly

1321
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: once in his career, and it was by being released

1322
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: by the Colts. And I think that's still it still

1323
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: is there. I just think it is anyway, Texas number one,

1324
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: Penn State, Ohio State, the other big ten teams here.

1325
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: Oregon is seventh, excuse me, is seventh, Illinois is twelfth,

1326
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:54,560
Speaker 1: Michigan fourteenth, Indiana twenty and there is your Big ten representation.

1327
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Now there's going to be Eddie and this is another

1328
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: fun game that we could play. There is going to

1329
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,480
Speaker 1: be some team in the College Football.

1330
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 2: Playoff, USC just on the outside looking in, by the.

1331
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Way, which is you would think USC would be. I mean,

1332
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 1: how are they not a top ten perenniallygue team? But

1333
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: there is always a team that just who is this

1334
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: year's Indiana or Arizona State? Who is this year's Indiana

1335
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 1: or Arizona State or SMU? There were three? Would you agree?

1336
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Those were the three that going into the season. It's

1337
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: like nobody would have picked those three in the College

1338
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: Football playoff?

1339
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 5: Right?

1340
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right? So who are the three this year?

1341
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Hmmm?

1342
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't say any of those teams that

1343
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: I just mentioned that are I mean, you can't say

1344
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: a ranked team, right, because were any of those three

1345
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: ranked at the beginning of last year?

1346
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:46,680
Speaker 2: No? I don't think so.

1347
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: SMU.

1348
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't think they were ranked Week one.

1349
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to be anybody out of

1350
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,879
Speaker 1: the Okay, could it be Louisville? Is Louisville gonna be good?

1351
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 2: Maybe you could see it though, I mean, Jeff Brown's

1352
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 2: had success before.

1353
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati. I'm just thinking like some random team from a

1354
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: league till you know, seemingly is open. Hey, don't mess

1355
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: with macxin.

1356
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm being serious.

1357
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, how smart is the MAC? I think the

1358
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: MAC is really smart as a league because they own

1359
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: that Thursday. I mean, I mean it's usually Thursday night right.

1360
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:31,879
Speaker 2: There, Thursday.

1361
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: I think it's whatever n I did is they're the

1362
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: only thing on. So would you normally watch a kent

1363
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Akron game except for that, like oftentimes in November on

1364
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a Thursday night when it's forty two and sleeping outside,

1365
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: there's nothing else on, and you end up watching it

1366
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: because it's like thirty eight to thirty five late in

1367
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: the game, and you end up watching it. I mean,

1368
01:14:51,960 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: there's they're smart Central Florida. I'm just throwing out teams,

1369
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: but I am intrigued in the Big Ten back to

1370
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: seriousness of a couple of teams that typically you think

1371
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 1: of as being pretty good programs that have been down

1372
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: and I'm curious how they were a bound notably for example,

1373
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: like Michigan State.

1374
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 2: Ugh, there're program in the Big Ten that's fallen off like.

1375
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: That, totally, I but but Michigan State has never fallen

1376
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: off into sustained irrelevance, right and so and they're they're

1377
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: kind of teetering on that right now.

1378
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 2: Uh, definitely.

1379
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: I've always liked Michigan State because and look, I get

1380
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: the Larry Nasser stuff. I mean, there were some ugly

1381
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: things that happened there as a university athletic department, but

1382
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: I've always felt like Michigan State is just where, like

1383
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: I don't know this, but every normal person I've met

1384
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: from Michigan I mentioned this before as a Michigan State fan,

1385
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: just like normal that's cool people, you know, like, yeah,

1386
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 1: I like Michigan State. They're cool, like their their life

1387
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't rise and set on Michigan State, but they enjoy him,

1388
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: they root for him. They're cool. But like they're not over.

1389
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: They're not Ohio State.

1390
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean there was a stretch there where they were,

1391
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 2: you know, churning out.

1392
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: Oh they were better than Michigan. Yes, on a regular yes,

1393
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: on the regular. You know, there are I think of

1394
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: Michigan State in that Iowa tier right where every four

1395
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: or five years they have a ten win team that's

1396
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: a senior laden team that puts together and then the

1397
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: rest of the time they are legitimate eight to nine

1398
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: like you know, Capital One Bowl or Gator Bowl caliber team.

1399
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: But they've been terrible lately, I mean terrible.

1400
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 2: Who was the coach got that massive extension after one year?

1401
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to say, was it meil something?

1402
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: And he had a he was sending naughty messages right

1403
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 1: to like the secretary wasn't he a caller on the phone,

1404
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 1: like on the road laidl Tucker Mel Tucker. Yeah, how

1405
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: long did he laugh? He got what forty nine million?

1406
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, he got a huge It was a

1407
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: huge contract, and I think he lasted was it one

1408
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: or two years and then was gone. And at the

1409
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: time that he that's what's so funny about coaching. There

1410
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: are always those coaches where it's hanging in the balance

1411
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: of the possibility they're going to leave, and everybody freaks out,

1412
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: and they parlay that into a big time contract.

1413
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 2: Ten here's ninety five million.

1414
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: Dollars and how much that was guaranteed?

1415
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 2: That extension was signed in twenty twenty one. No terms

1416
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 2: were announced on the.

1417
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: I thought I read somewhere that he got like a

1418
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: forty nine million dollar by I could be wrong. Even

1419
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: ten years ninety five million, I mean, unbelievable. And and

1420
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: he didn't make it like a year into that, right.

1421
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: So twenty three is when he was let go.

1422
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: And what year did he sign it? Twenty one? Yeah,

1423
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,839
Speaker 1: so he made it two years of that, I mean, brutal.

1424
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: I have a question for Eddie that I realize is

1425
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: something thats a brutal. You got paid well, I know,

1426
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: but think about what he might have missed out on.

1427
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: There is something within the world of sports as a

1428
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: sports fan that I have concerns, and sometimes I think

1429
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: it's just that I'm getting old. And then I realized

1430
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,759
Speaker 1: that perhaps even a young buck like Eddie can validate

1431
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: that I'm not as old as I think, because what

1432
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: it is that is confusing me is confusing the masses.

1433
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm told I met my wits end. I'm totally confused

1434
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: at this point. And I'll let you know what it

1435
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: is and we will all walk hand in hand through

1436
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: the abyss of unknown in terms of being a sports

1437
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: fan in one particular area, and Mike Chapple joins us

1438
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: to talk about the other unknown, which is the Colts

1439
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. He will do so too. Okay, Eddie, you

1440
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: had mentioned, and not to put you on the spot

1441
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: here to have you go back to it. I don't

1442
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: know if you just saw this, if it was something

1443
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: you saw over the weekend or an article, but I

1444
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: can't be the only one one who feels this way,

1445
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: and I would like for people to know. By the way,

1446
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: we have a new way that you could text to

1447
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: the station and the show at two three nine ten

1448
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: seventy two three nine one zero seven zero. You can

1449
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: set a text to that and we will try to

1450
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 1: respond over the course of the show. Then obviously after

1451
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: hours you can text me. I think everybody at this

1452
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: point has my cell phone number, but I'm curious if

1453
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that feels this way. Eddie. You

1454
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,759
Speaker 1: had mentioned that there is now a new partnership between

1455
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: ESPN and FS one that may be taking place as

1456
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: that correct, and you can paraphrase what it is that

1457
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: you were trying to say earlier too.

1458
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: ESPN announced shortly before we started the show, h Jake,

1459
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 2: that ESPN and Fox I've reached an agreement giving fans

1460
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 2: the opportunity to purchase ESPN's upcoming direct to consumer service

1461
01:19:54,960 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 2: and Fox one together. Each service becomes available individual on

1462
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 2: August twenty first, with a combined bundle available on October

1463
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 2: the second. Okay, here's my The bundle will be forty

1464
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 2: dollars a month.

1465
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm curious if this makes me simply old, or if

1466
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: I am the normal American now Hulu, Hubble or whatever

1467
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: it's called Disney plus ESPN, which might be Disney plus Paramount,

1468
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Peacock Peacock, which I think did

1469
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:50,719
Speaker 1: Peacock go away? Maybe I know I can't keep straight

1470
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: in track of any of it anymore. I honestly can't.

1471
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember who's bundled with what. I can't remember

1472
01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: what I'm paying for and what I'm not. I have

1473
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: where I live, and I know people are like, well,

1474
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: just get a firestick or whatever. I'm not going to

1475
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: say the name of it, but the zip code where

1476
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I live there is only one cable provider. And yes,

1477
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: I still have cable right but it has there's only

1478
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: one cable provider. This week, I get a notification that

1479
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: says I've got a FedEx package coming. I'm like, what

1480
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 1: is this? And this FedEx package comes and it's some

1481
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: new box. It's like, here's your new streaming box. So

1482
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I guess instead of cable now I'm streaming. I have

1483
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: no idea, and so I'm like, well, I guess I

1484
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: got to go look and see what it is that

1485
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,479
Speaker 1: I like signed up for with that in terms of

1486
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: my just regular otherwise old school jailhouse cable, but in.

1487
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 2: Terms of wait, you're on an antenna.

1488
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: Exactly, I'm like one step from that. But in terms

1489
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: of kidding aside in particular sports viewership and in terms

1490
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: of sports ingesting, whether it be like I'm old enough

1491
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,839
Speaker 1: to remember, you know, the way I became a Clemson

1492
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: football fan. I've told the story before, But when I

1493
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: started really rooting for them and watching them a lot

1494
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 1: was when I was in college, primarily, and I would

1495
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: get the satellite coordinates and at channel six, I would

1496
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: have the satellite operators move one of the huge satellite

1497
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: dishes into the coordinates so that I could watch what

1498
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: was being beamed into the sky old school away and

1499
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: via satellite. Remember back in the days when people had

1500
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: like big satellite dishes in their yard and they're like, yeah,

1501
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: I was watching the expos Padres game, fell asleep but

1502
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: woke up to French porn what and like? But now

1503
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: obviously I know that everything is available no matter what

1504
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: your interest level. I mean, if you are a fan

1505
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: of Australian rugby, there is a channel out there that

1506
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: is nothing but Australian rugby for you. But now it's

1507
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: becoming all a la carte and I can't keep straight

1508
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: and keep track of where all the places are where

1509
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be watching things. It is a challenge

1510
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: I can only imagine. I mean, you know I have

1511
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: mentioned that about a month ago or so. You know,

1512
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: my dad had a health issue, a health scare that

1513
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: as a family, you know, we're still working with him

1514
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, thankfully he is okay and improving,

1515
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: but it's a long process. And one of the things

1516
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 1: that he looks forward to more than anything is he

1517
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,799
Speaker 1: loves watching Fever games. He's a big fan of the fever.

1518
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, Eddie, like especially when

1519
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: you're in a hospital room, but like trying to find

1520
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: and wade through with each respective game which place it

1521
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:58,560
Speaker 1: is there on is especially for somebody who has a

1522
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff going on, but for teams in general,

1523
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: the different bundles, the different packages, the different places it is.

1524
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: You tell me, Eddie, am I completely out of touch that?

1525
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: To me, it is becoming harder and harder to keep

1526
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: track of all of it.

1527
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 2: No, and it's becoming more and more expensive, Jake, because

1528
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 2: as you outline, I mean, you've got you know, ESPN

1529
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 2: Plus will have specific games eventually during the NFL season. Again,

1530
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 2: probably you've got Netflix, that's a part of this. So

1531
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 2: you've got Netflix ESPN plus, Apple TV plus, I mean,

1532
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime. I mean, the list goes on like there's

1533
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 2: gonna be it's something new every year, and like I

1534
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 2: would have, there's got to be somebody out there and

1535
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: if if you're listening and you know of and you've

1536
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: seen something, you know, tweet this ads Quary Underscore company,

1537
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 2: there's got to be somebody out there who's done a

1538
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,879
Speaker 2: financial breakdown on how much it's going to cause totally

1539
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 2: just to watch the NFL this year totally.

1540
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: And I mean obviously red Zone. Now you know ESPN

1541
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: at this point is and I get it. I mean

1542
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 1: you know they are. They're becoming monopoly though on a

1543
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of different things, right yeah, but I just you know,

1544
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: it is not just not just with sports, but just

1545
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: in general, because I can't keep track of like there is,

1546
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: thankfully on the iPhone a way that you can look

1547
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: at your monthly subscriptions and find out what you like

1548
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: signed up for at some point and what you're paying

1549
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: out and it's like, well, wait a minute, I don't

1550
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: need that. I don't want I mean, I have so

1551
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: many of them that I'm like, I don't need that.

1552
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: Why am I paying for that? And they're it's just

1553
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: it's getting it is to me, getting really hard. Yeah, Jake,

1554
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: loyalty to a team is impossible when you need an

1555
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: advocus to know which team, which channel a team is on. Yeah.

1556
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that at all. Totally agree with that.

1557
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's and I do worry that,

1558
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 1: and I get it. It's all about money, I get it,

1559
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: But I and the TV dollar is what pays the

1560
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: salaries of players that allows I get all of it.

1561
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 2: Are we gonna get to the point, Chick, where it's

1562
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 2: all becoming too much and cable becomes the the way

1563
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: to go?

1564
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: And yet you go back to the basics, Yeah, there's

1565
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: a that's entire Yeah, who knows, right.

1566
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 2: Because I mean, this partnership with Fox is actually pretty

1567
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 2: it's pretty nice because you'll have all the spot of

1568
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 2: the Fox channels, all the ESPN channels. It will be

1569
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: forty dollars a month and you get access to everything

1570
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 2: else on Fox. But it doesn't help you, I guess

1571
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 2: with CBS.

1572
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's the thing. If you Yeah, well

1573
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: you're right, because but they're also on NFL network. I mean,

1574
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There you could have your

1575
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: team could play on four different, five different options over

1576
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: the course of the year. The other thing that's hard

1577
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: is just if you're having to then individually pay for

1578
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 1: each respective network. I mean, eventually you're just saying, my

1579
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: worry is that this is actually going to hurt the

1580
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: fandom of some teams because people are then they're either

1581
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 1: going to not pay for a year and realize, gosh,

1582
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: I didn't miss that as much as I thought, or

1583
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be harder to find or whatever else,

1584
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: and then people just all of a sudden tune out

1585
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: becomes habit. Mike Chapel, by the way, joins us next

1586
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: new way to Text the radio station at two three

1587
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 1: nine ten seventy. I do appreciate this text, and I'm

1588
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: going to read it just because I was flattered by it. Jake,

1589
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: you have a special gift and skill being able to

1590
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: function admirably for the IMS radio network and then be

1591
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 1: up most of the night flying home to present a

1592
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 1: beautiful analogy in life on your radio program. That is

1593
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 1: a very kind message. I do very much appreciate it.

1594
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm also well aware of the fact that yes, I

1595
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: mean I took a red eye. I mean I got

1596
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: back at five am, so it wasn't terrible. But there

1597
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: are people that work real jobs of real significance and

1598
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: real importance, and certainly talking and talking about sports and

1599
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 1: things that we witness. It's not manual labor. But that

1600
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: is a very kind sentiment to say, But I'll disagree

1601
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: on it being anybody could do it. Admittedly could do

1602
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: this job, but I am appreciative for the fact that

1603
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: we've been afforded the opportunity to be the ones to

1604
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: do so on this station. Joining us now on the program.

1605
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: Of course, you hear them each and every week from WXION,

1606
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: Fox fifty nine and CBS four. Mike Chapel is the

1607
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: dean of writers covering the Indianapolis Coltson Chapel, let's get

1608
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: right to the quarterback situation, which will be the dominant

1609
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: conversation over the season. Feels like again, and this is

1610
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: what is an enigma to me, the quarterback battle right

1611
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: now in Indianapolis feels like when you're at a game

1612
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: and they have that thing where they're like, okay, we're

1613
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: gonna do on the video board, the little the little

1614
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: race between the red ball and the blue ball, and

1615
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: they intentionally one goes, you know, and that's back and forth,

1616
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 1: back and forth. It feels like neither one of these

1617
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: guys wants to reach out and snag this thing. Am

1618
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: I saying that too critically?

1619
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 5: It seems like neither one is capable of it, not

1620
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 5: that they don't want to. So depending on so what

1621
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 5: we're splitting the hairs on terminology, uh, I don't know.

1622
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,559
Speaker 5: You know, it could very well be the in the

1623
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 5: meeting rooms that change Dyke and Chris Batlet says, yeah,

1624
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 5: it's this guy, it is. It's unless this guy gets

1625
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 5: something worse than a dislocated pinky. Uh I don't you know.

1626
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 5: And again with with the joint practice on Thursday and

1627
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 5: the game on Saturday, it's gonna give them a ton

1628
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 5: of information for their information. But gosh, I think they

1629
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 5: really in there gets know what they want. I just

1630
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 5: do so I don't know, And whether or not they

1631
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 5: will make their decision after this week, I would like

1632
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,640
Speaker 5: to think so, although again, like you say, the two

1633
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 5: little horses on the thing are neither one is pulled

1634
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 5: ahead or fallen behind. This isn't where you want to be.

1635
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 5: There's no way you put a good spin on this.

1636
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 5: And hey, you know they're both competing and this, well,

1637
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 5: that's not you know, that's not what you want. You

1638
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 5: want somebody to be your guy Cleveland. They're they're going crazy.

1639
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 5: Where should ur Sanders? That's going to be one of

1640
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 5: the dumbest media inventions of all time that he's first

1641
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 5: round making. Now he's not, so we'll see. But in

1642
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 5: our world, I don't know where they are. I think

1643
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,759
Speaker 5: in my heart that they know what's going to happen,

1644
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 5: I really do, But when will they tell us? When

1645
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 5: will they share it? I don't know. It would behoove

1646
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:56,799
Speaker 5: both players to play well against the Packers both Thursday

1647
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 5: and Saturday, just to give them more information and if

1648
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 5: more information is needed.

1649
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. The the thing about and I guess Chap, We've

1650
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 1: said this a lot, right with Richardson, it just feels

1651
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 1: like you would if you don't go with Richardson, it

1652
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 1: feels like you're gonna constantly wonder what you might be

1653
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: missing out on because you've seen just the glimpses. And

1654
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 1: if you don't go with Jones, it feels like you

1655
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 1: are going to feel like you're missing out on stability

1656
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: because he's just a little bit more. Does that make

1657
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 1: sense what I'm saying.

1658
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's And we talked about all the time on

1659
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 5: the sidelines when we get board watching practice is it's

1660
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,759
Speaker 5: it's it's floor versus ceiling.

1661
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

1662
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 5: Jones gives you what you think is a is a gosh,

1663
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 5: a winnable, winnable floor maybe, but not not a ceiling

1664
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 5: that you didn't really do something. And with Richardson, his

1665
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 5: floor could really be bad low. But boy, his ceiling

1666
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 5: is it could be something special. The problem that I'm

1667
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 5: having continually buying into the ceiling thing is I've only

1668
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 5: got two seasons of information. I'd say three. Go back

1669
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 5: to Florida thirteen starts, and there's there's very little there

1670
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:25,720
Speaker 5: when you get past the wild plays, and there are

1671
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 5: a ton of wild plays there are, and the NFL

1672
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 5: is about wild plays, but it's also about moving the

1673
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 5: chains and being really good fifty I remember Manning was

1674
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 5: and his those guys are like fifty percent on third downs.

1675
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 5: They just stayed on the field. And I don't know.

1676
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 5: I think Jones gives you that. I'm not sure Richardson

1677
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 5: gives you that, So I don't know. I again, I

1678
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 5: defaulted the fact that this is not where you want

1679
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 5: to be with the the opener a couple of weeks away,

1680
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 5: and neither guy has either wanted or lost it. And

1681
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 5: you need more information, if you need more information, So

1682
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 5: I you see, you see snippets in practice, although I've

1683
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 5: got to say with Jones, you really don't see. Wow,

1684
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 5: you know that that was that was a throw, although

1685
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 5: it was funny yesterday one of the big plays Richardson's get.

1686
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 5: It's got Alec Pierce one on one with the corner

1687
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:24,120
Speaker 5: on the left side deep and he throws that nice

1688
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 5: spiral and it's under throwne and Pierce goes up and

1689
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:31,280
Speaker 5: makes a great catch. Uh. There's still more been wild

1690
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 5: plays with with just pure armstrength from Richardson, but we've

1691
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 5: seen that that's not enough.

1692
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Who has more plays.

1693
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 5: Boy there, Richardson probably, although they both had their share.

1694
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 5: Looking at my status and all of our stature little

1695
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 5: different with me and Kevin Bowen and Jill Erickson. I've

1696
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 5: got Richardson about sixty percent completions and Jones at about

1697
01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 5: seventy one, seventy two percent, and so and make of

1698
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 5: those what you will. I mean, it's it's it's against

1699
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 5: your own guys, and and that's eleven on eleven. It's

1700
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 5: when there I can playing almost football. So I don't

1701
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 5: know if I if I could get fifty eight percent

1702
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 5: from Richardson and still get the other stuff, I would

1703
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,759
Speaker 5: be hit over heels, fix static chap.

1704
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I made this mention a couple of times I have,

1705
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:25,320
Speaker 1: but you've, you know, you've been in the market, and

1706
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: so I want you to tell me if this makes sense.

1707
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: As I watched Anthony Richardson in that pinky play, I

1708
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: harken back to and I know I'm going on the

1709
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,799
Speaker 1: way back here, but I go with precedent in this market,

1710
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, I wonder if Anthony Richardson

1711
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 1: is just football Jonathan Bender?

1712
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah.

1713
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Jonathan Bender is Eventually the

1714
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Pacers just had to punt on it because his body

1715
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 1: just was not going to allow him to show what

1716
01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: it is that he could do. And my question for

1717
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: you is this, what is that ceiling in the NFL?

1718
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 1: How many games in years do you give a guy

1719
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 1: before you finally just have to say we got to

1720
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 1: move on here?

1721
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:15,600
Speaker 5: Probably three? I mean, I Chris Baller pushed back on it,

1722
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 5: but I tend to go into the idea that this

1723
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 5: this is make or break for richards I do. I

1724
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 5: believe that you know what was funny too is and

1725
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 5: I was one of the people I questioned Shane Steinken

1726
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 5: for not going with this starting offensive line and that

1727
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,679
Speaker 5: if you're gonna have Jones and Richardson out there, then

1728
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 5: then dog, I don't have your starters out there. But

1729
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 5: that wouldn't have mattered. That had nothing to do with

1730
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 5: him getting hurt. It's something that he should have seen

1731
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 5: coming and he didn't. And then this is like, this

1732
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 5: is like classic Anthony Richardson. He didn't just get blown up.

1733
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 5: He got his finger smashed. You know, any other quarterback

1734
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,560
Speaker 5: maybe you just want to got you know, sack that

1735
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 5: gets up and say, man, I messed that one up.

1736
01:35:56,720 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 5: He gets a dislocated finger, because of course he did.

1737
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 5: I think, boy, after three years, if you're hanging on

1738
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:09,720
Speaker 5: after three years, I'm trying to think what the circumstances

1739
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 5: would be. Well, he's always hurt. What that tells you something,

1740
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 5: doesn't it? And and if he and if Jones wins

1741
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 5: the job this year and he plays well enough and

1742
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 5: they're ten and seven or nine and eight and they're

1743
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 5: right there, then what have you got with Richardson. Then

1744
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 5: you don't know that well, you know that he couldn't

1745
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 5: beat out Daniel Jones, and that tells you something. So yeah,

1746
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 5: I think it's I think for if you don't know

1747
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 5: after three years, then what then? What what are you?

1748
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 5: What are you looking for? And how much of it is?

1749
01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 4: Boy?

1750
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 5: We just can't give up on me? Well, at some

1751
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 5: point you have to, especially a quarterback, because just dug

1752
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 5: on it. When you're waiting on the quarterback to be

1753
01:36:56,720 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 5: the guy, you're wasting. Jonathan Taylor and Quinton Nelson and

1754
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 5: the Forrest Buckner and Kennymore and Braden Smith. All these

1755
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 5: guys are getting older. They're not past their prime at all.

1756
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 5: But go back look at what Jacksonville did and not

1757
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 5: getting the quarterback right and all the players Maurice Jones,

1758
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 5: Drew Fred Taylor, all these players that are really really good,

1759
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 5: and when you can't get the quarterback right, it stunts

1760
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 5: the growth of the entire franchise. So three years has

1761
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,759
Speaker 5: got to be. It's just I can't imagine the season

1762
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 5: coming up not involving a good a good portion of

1763
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 5: Anti Richardson and him playing well and him being here

1764
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 5: next year. I just I don't I can't rip my

1765
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 5: head around him being a back of them going in

1766
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,360
Speaker 5: when Jones either gets hurt. I don't see how that works.

1767
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:59,799
Speaker 5: That's why I say, I think you start Richardson against

1768
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 5: the and you say, let's see what we got. He

1769
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 5: stays healthy, he doesn't, but you know, and then you've

1770
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:08,520
Speaker 5: got some direction for the franchise.

1771
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: Chap One of the things Mike Chapel is our guest

1772
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: here talking about the Coltson notably at this point Anthony

1773
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 1: Richardson in the quarterback situation. I want to be clear

1774
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 1: in preface this, Mike, it's going to sound like I'm

1775
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: really piling on Anthony Richardson, and that's not my intention.

1776
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I have no reason to believe anything other

1777
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 1: than he is a great young guy, a nice kid.

1778
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: I think his background story is, you know, it's one

1779
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: of triumph, you know some of the things that not

1780
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 1: that he had like this terrible upbringing. But I'm saying,

1781
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't grow up with some of the

1782
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 1: advantages that young quarterbacks have. But having said all of that,

1783
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: when on the play when he got blown up, here's

1784
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: what jumped out at me is afterwards, when he said,

1785
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's just a situation where he I got

1786
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: to mind my p's and q's better, Like I should

1787
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 1: have recognized that better or whatever else. And when he

1788
01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 1: when he tapped out last year and then said I

1789
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: was tired, I'm not gonna lie to you guys. It

1790
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: wasn't the fact that he tapped his helmet and was

1791
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: tired and came out of the game. It was the

1792
01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 1: fact that he had to naivitate to admit it, to

1793
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: admit it, I know, And I felt like in that situation,

1794
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're right back to square one, because if

1795
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: you didn't recognize a formation that was obvious, that's fine,

1796
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: but don't admit it, like, don't come out and say

1797
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: and maybe we should applaud the transparency, but at the

1798
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: same time, it just shows a lack of fundamental growth

1799
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: of the expectation and understanding of what the position encompasses. Now,

1800
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: am I being way too critical?

1801
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,640
Speaker 5: I think in the situation where he just didn't recognize

1802
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 5: the blitz, I think he had to say, Man, I

1803
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 5: really watched that one, because you got Kurt Warner saying it,

1804
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:59,640
Speaker 5: Chase Daniel saying it, Daniel Rowski saying it that this

1805
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 5: is a fundamental play. Cam Turner, his physician coach, said, yeah,

1806
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,960
Speaker 5: there's a basic play, and you learn from your mistakes.

1807
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 5: H you shouldn't make those mistakes in year three. And

1808
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 5: never mind that he's I think I saw he's twenty

1809
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 5: three and he would have been the youngest quarterback, right,

1810
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 5: he would have been the young I think he's a

1811
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 5: little bit younger than cam Ward taking number one overall

1812
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,679
Speaker 5: this year. That's we can't, you know, and I try.

1813
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 5: I got to remind myself not to use that as excuses.

1814
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 5: I would prefer now to tap out. I would have

1815
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 5: found a way to say, yeah, I my head, my

1816
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,600
Speaker 5: headset was bust whatever. I'd have made something up. I

1817
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 5: just would have on the botch play. I think you

1818
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 5: had to say, yeah, screwed that one up, sorry about that,

1819
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 5: because I think it would have been wor that would

1820
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 5: have been the cover up. Cover up would have been

1821
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 5: worse than the crime. Uh. But you can't it's he

1822
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 5: has fair or not he has used up his mulligans.

1823
01:40:57,840 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's a good way of saying it.

1824
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 5: I just think the excuse is now a d Mitchell.

1825
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 5: We watch him. He's still got room and he's still

1826
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 5: got some Okay, he's still young and learning, not third

1827
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 5: year with the quarterback. And you know, again, part of

1828
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 5: this lay on the team for not being more on

1829
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 5: top of him from the start. But at the same time,

1830
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 5: then it's him. He's got to grow and understand grasp things.

1831
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 5: And I keep hoping he has or will I don't know.

1832
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 5: And my optimism. My grandson Levi. He asked me some

1833
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 5: things on the team and he said, you know, I'm

1834
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 5: still optimistic. I said, but good for you. Good for you.

1835
01:41:44,240 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not so you know, oh, to be,

1836
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 5: to be what I think whatever le Levi is thirteen

1837
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 5: or fourteen.

1838
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: And live like Levi. Man, live like Levi, right.

1839
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, he live like Levi. To be picking top five

1840
01:41:58,360 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 5: next year.

1841
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:05,439
Speaker 1: Give me seasons whire or area's chap where Levi is

1842
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 1: the way to think because there is optimism. Give me

1843
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 1: the Levi areas, honestly, But if you were to look

1844
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:13,960
Speaker 1: at it now that you have seen some camp yep,

1845
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 1: now that you've seen a preseason game, give me a

1846
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 1: player or two or an area or two where you

1847
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: say to yourself, that is a lot better than I

1848
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a month ago.

1849
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 5: Well, and you can't tell them from the opening game

1850
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,679
Speaker 5: because the starters didn't play. They'll play. They'll play more,

1851
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 5: maybe in a quarter or a half on Saturday with

1852
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 5: the Packers. But a good it's a good receiver room

1853
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:38,599
Speaker 5: it is. Is it great? No, but it's pretty good.

1854
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,400
Speaker 5: It's pretty good. Jonathan Taylor's top five in the league.

1855
01:42:42,479 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 3: He is.

1856
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 5: I think the offensive line is going to be good,

1857
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 5: I really do. I think that the two young kids

1858
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 5: are going to play well, and Quentin Nelson's All Pro,

1859
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 5: and the tackles are good. The defense, I think is

1860
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 5: going to be good better, certainly better. So I've said

1861
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 5: from the start. I think the as a playoff roster,

1862
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:03,639
Speaker 5: I really do. I think this USA today came out

1863
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 5: and had him winning four games. I laughed at the guy,

1864
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 5: I thought, what are you talking about? Even if they

1865
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 5: get crappy quarterback plays, they're gonna win more and poor games.

1866
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 5: But I think it's a playoff roster. But I don't

1867
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 5: trust the quarterback play, you know. I still think Vegas

1868
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 5: is really good to the over under seven and a half.

1869
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 5: And if I had to bet two hundred dollars with

1870
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 5: my own money, I would have to take thee under

1871
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 5: because I don't trust the quarterback play so but no,

1872
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 5: there's a lot of reasons to be optimistic except that

1873
01:43:34,080 --> 01:43:36,839
Speaker 5: the one. It's like, I can give you five reasons

1874
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 5: that this team can be a playoff team, and you

1875
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 5: can give me one that they won't be in its quarterback.

1876
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:46,240
Speaker 5: So the quarterback can The quarterback can trash a roster.

1877
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 5: He can lift the roster, which we've seen with Peyton,

1878
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 5: more so with Luck. I think Peyton had a pretty

1879
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:54,200
Speaker 5: dog going good roster. I mean Luck not that level

1880
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 5: at all. But the quarterback can can drag you down

1881
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 5: or keep you from being where you need to be.

1882
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:07,559
Speaker 5: That's why you know God, let's Levi Chapel. He's got

1883
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 5: some convincing to do before I'm on board with him.

1884
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 5: But again, O to be young and naive, give me.

1885
01:44:14,200 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 1: The player, chap When you look at the outside of

1886
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium, I believe the Forrest Buckner's up there.

1887
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:26,639
Speaker 1: I believe Quentin Nelson's up there. Kenny Moore I believe

1888
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 1: is up there Moore and j T and Jonathan Taylor. Okay, yep,

1889
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: So give me the player that a year from now,

1890
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, assuming he's still here, and Shane Steichen, assuming

1891
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: he's still here, are going to look at each other

1892
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 1: and go, we need to probably talk to Carli Ersay

1893
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 1: because you know what, can we create a space to

1894
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:51,679
Speaker 1: put him up there? Also because he deserves it after

1895
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: the year he had and he's a monster.

1896
01:44:54,680 --> 01:45:00,560
Speaker 5: Bernard Raymond Raymond left tackle, I left tack. It's not

1897
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 5: a flashy pick. But I would say the left tackle.

1898
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 5: H Taylor's a receiver. I'd like these receivers. I don't.

1899
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 5: I don't like the side of the building like him,

1900
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 5: not like t y Uh maybe Mooney Ward. But he

1901
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 5: need to have he needs to have two good years.

1902
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:22,559
Speaker 5: You just don't have a good year and get your face,

1903
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 5: put up, your body put up there. But of all

1904
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:29,599
Speaker 5: those guys, I would say Bernie right, and I think

1905
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 5: he's he's borderline top ten left tackle. And I've always said,

1906
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 5: if you're building a roster, the three priorities are quarterback,

1907
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,400
Speaker 5: left tackle, and edge pass rusher. And I would put

1908
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 5: the left tackle ahead of a dage rusher because because

1909
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 5: if he ain't got a left tackle, your quarterback is

1910
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 5: just paralyzed. So I wouldn't. I would think the next

1911
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 5: guy up there is Bernie. Whether they won't create a fifth,

1912
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,599
Speaker 5: but there was somebody because are.

1913
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:02,680
Speaker 1: We starting to see steps from.

1914
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 5: He having a strained camp. I mean, I would rather

1915
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 5: be enthused by a guy from training camp in the

1916
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 5: same man I didn't notice wasn't play that guy made.

1917
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 5: He's in the backfield all the time, and again, I

1918
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 5: think this is a decent offensive line, so he's really

1919
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:21,479
Speaker 5: letting him have it pretty good. I want to see

1920
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 5: him as the lights go on and see if those

1921
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 5: near missus door ended up with four sacks or whatever it was,

1922
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 5: turns into eight, nine, ten, because that's what they need.

1923
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:35,680
Speaker 5: And I think Bernie's Bernie to me is more of

1924
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 5: a sure thing than lat Too. But what we've seen

1925
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,679
Speaker 5: him from law to the best players in camp, the

1926
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:45,840
Speaker 5: best players have been ad Mitchell and lat Too, and

1927
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 5: you could put the two and I wouldn't argue with

1928
01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 5: you too much, but it's camp. I'm glad to see

1929
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 5: Mitchell having a strong camp after last season and even

1930
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:58,680
Speaker 5: after his first week which it wasn't which was underwhelming,

1931
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 5: But those two guys a lot two have dominated from

1932
01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 5: day one on and I hope that carries over into

1933
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 5: the season.

1934
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, Chap, sometimes you can see things right before

1935
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: your eyes and realize that it's a representation of the

1936
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: bigger problem or the bigger talking point. And I mentioned

1937
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 1: this last week, but I want you to weigh in

1938
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 1: and tell me why I'm being too harsh. But when

1939
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: I think about every franchise in the NFL, and if

1940
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 1: the NFL put an edict on every franchise that said

1941
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:39,320
Speaker 1: you've got to put your four most marquee backbone players

1942
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:43,559
Speaker 1: on a building sized mural in your downtown to excite

1943
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 1: everybody about your upcoming season, I've got to think that

1944
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,639
Speaker 1: there are fewer than eight franchises that would not include

1945
01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: their quarterback. I know how indicting is that about where

1946
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: the cults are?

1947
01:47:55,520 --> 01:48:00,120
Speaker 5: It is it is, that's kind of be you know it.

1948
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,639
Speaker 5: It shouldn't be a I should say a defensive alignment

1949
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:07,759
Speaker 5: because the four spuctor's good. He's good. But it's got

1950
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 5: to be a quarterback for current out loud. And that's

1951
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,800
Speaker 5: not because we were spoiled by meaning luck. I mean,

1952
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 5: you know, there's a lot of other franchises that didn't

1953
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 5: have that level of quarterback that they had a good quarterback.

1954
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 5: It is an indictment and everyone knows it. And that's

1955
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 5: why I think they're clinging. They are clinging to the

1956
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 5: hope that Richardson will grow into that guy. I just

1957
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 5: think it's the odds they're against it. But yeah, when

1958
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 5: you have four people up there and one of them

1959
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 5: is not your quarterback, it tells you that you're not

1960
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:44,360
Speaker 5: where you need to be as a franchise.

1961
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:46,640
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the most average quarterback in

1962
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 1: the NFL? And by that I mean, I don't mean

1963
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 1: that as a bad thing. Give me the Honda Civic

1964
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. The guy that's like, you know what, there's

1965
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 1: nothing flashy about it, but solid, gonna do what you

1966
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: need him to do, going to get you where you

1967
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 1: need to go. Isn't ever going to break one hundred

1968
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 1: and twenty miles an hour, but also is never going

1969
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 1: to break down on the side of the road and

1970
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 1: leave you completely hapless. Just solid. But you know you

1971
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:11,640
Speaker 1: need some other bells and whistles and options put on

1972
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: it for it to be a truly likable car, but

1973
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:16,800
Speaker 1: perfectly sufficient.

1974
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,439
Speaker 5: Well, you're showing me your heads up. A geno Smith

1975
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 5: type guy that.

1976
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 1: Is exactly who I was thinking of, Exactly who I

1977
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:24,679
Speaker 1: was thinking.

1978
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:29,559
Speaker 5: Of, Sam Darnold. And those are reclamation projects.

1979
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 1: Right they are. And that's why I wonder if Anthony

1980
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:35,799
Speaker 1: Richardson is Anthony Richardson the next GENO Smith unfortunately meeting

1981
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: that he's not doing it for the franchise that drafted him.

1982
01:49:38,439 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, those guys,

1983
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 5: the guys we mentioned, they emerged elsewhere. Baker Mayfield, now,

1984
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:48,679
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield is not pedestrian at all. Uh, He's top

1985
01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 5: ten all of a sudden. But that's and again that's

1986
01:49:52,120 --> 01:49:56,880
Speaker 5: part of the the hesitancy of moving on is you

1987
01:49:56,920 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 5: don't want to see any of your players, but don't

1988
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:02,960
Speaker 5: root against me if you're the Colts, but you know,

1989
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 5: it's not good to see your guy go somewhere else

1990
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,800
Speaker 5: because you didn't sit here, and then he's Jerry Hughes

1991
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:10,360
Speaker 5: didn't work here, he goes to Buffalo and he was

1992
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 5: a pretty good pass rusher. Look good for Jerry, but

1993
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 5: you really don't want to see a quarterback, you know,

1994
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,960
Speaker 5: I give up on him after If he's not here

1995
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 5: after three years, it's because it did not work out.

1996
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:24,600
Speaker 5: But then to see him go somewhere else and do

1997
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:29,559
Speaker 5: a Sam Darnold or a Baker Mayfield it's just crippling

1998
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,080
Speaker 5: because that means you missed on him in your eyes,

1999
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 5: and then you got to replace him. It's hard enough

2000
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 5: to replace a lot, It's hard enough to replace Castanjo

2001
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:44,000
Speaker 5: Freeny Mathis Boy. To replace your quarterback no one. You're

2002
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:47,760
Speaker 5: not going to get Andrew Rucker Peyton, but you've not

2003
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 5: got anything even remotely reliable. It just cripples you. I've

2004
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:57,719
Speaker 5: always said the worst thing in the NFL personnel wise

2005
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:01,320
Speaker 5: is to chase mistakes. It just because it's you need

2006
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 5: a left tackle. Instead of getting the pass rusher, you

2007
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:07,639
Speaker 5: have to get a left tackle, and with the quarterback. Again,

2008
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 5: look at all the guys. Tennessee's tried, and Jackville's tried,

2009
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 5: and the Jets have tried, and when you can't, when

2010
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 5: you don't get it, it just stunts the growth of everything.

2011
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:20,679
Speaker 5: And then not only do the stunt the growth, you're

2012
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 5: still chasing the guy. So that's why part of why

2013
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:28,640
Speaker 5: it really needs to be Richardson, because because if it's not,

2014
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 5: then you're looking at a rebuild that might be two

2015
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 5: or three years. You think the fan base is ready

2016
01:51:34,840 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 5: for that.

2017
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:41,599
Speaker 1: I don't Forty twenty yards passing seventy point four percent

2018
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: completion percentage, twenty one touchdowns and fifteen picks, an additional

2019
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy two yards on the ground and

2020
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:51,719
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns. That was Gino Smith a year ago.

2021
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: If Anthony Richardson does that this year, put them on

2022
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:55,320
Speaker 1: the side of the JW.

2023
01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 5: Marriott, Right, yeah, with Velcro, so you could take it

2024
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:00,080
Speaker 5: down Winy.

2025
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 1: No, but you're right there, Velcros what he's made of.

2026
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 1: Chap that's the problem.

2027
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 5: You don't have to you don't have to have an

2028
01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:11,120
Speaker 5: all pro season. You know, four thousand yards will be

2029
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 5: great in a seventeen game season. But dog gone, just

2030
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 5: be do your job, make those six, eight, ten plays

2031
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 5: when you've got to make, and then and then see

2032
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 5: what happens. Because again, this is a good team. This

2033
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 5: isn't Homers, and this is look at the roster, the

2034
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:33,479
Speaker 5: good roster. But like I said, five reasons they can

2035
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:36,920
Speaker 5: do it is trump by the one reason that they

2036
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 5: can't do it, And it's all about the quarterback, like

2037
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 5: it or not, and it will be the rest of

2038
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 5: the season. It just will be.

2039
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Put them up in Valcro. Mike Chapel says, all right,

2040
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:50,400
Speaker 1: the Colts getting set afternoon practice today. J ANDV is

2041
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:51,960
Speaker 1: going to be out there by the way, and then

2042
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers that is the next preseason game

2043
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 1: joint practice on Thursday. Is that right with the Packers?

2044
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:58,719
Speaker 5: Yepy afternoon?

2045
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:00,720
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, Chapel, you get to it, man. I

01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:01,599
Speaker 1: appreciate the time.

2047
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:03,880
Speaker 5: As always say in touch guys.

2048
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, Mike Chappele joining us wxin Fox, mcdonnine and

2049

2051
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 1: and Indiana rank, and Eddie explains further why you might

2052
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 1: be able to save money or maybe even spend more

2053
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 1: money to watch the NFL it gets convoluted. We'll get

2054
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 1: into that next. Okay, college football preseason AP Top twenty five, Eddie,

2055
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:35,080
Speaker 1: you do or do not put stock into like college

2056
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 1: football preseason rankings. They're fun, right, but none none.

2057
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:41,719
Speaker 2: I don't put not a ton.

2058
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 1: Texas is number one, followed by Penn State, Ohio State, Clemson,

2059
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:53,839
Speaker 1: and Georgia. Notre Dame is sixth, Indiana is twentieth.

2060
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,679
Speaker 2: If Texas does not have arch me inning and it's

2061
01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, Jake Query a quarterback? Are they number one still?

2062
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 2: It's a good question, like does the name of arch

2063
01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 2: Manning carry more weight thinking that he's going to be

2064
01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:09,720
Speaker 2: better than what he could be or why he is.

2065
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, except for that, they are pretty loaded, and they

2066
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: were a year ago, you know, even when and I

2067
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: know he was put in just like in fourth short

2068
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, in like short yardage situations. And it's not

2069
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:26,120
Speaker 1: like Quen you ors there's anything to scoff at, but

2070
01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 1: they had Your point is well taken. They're probably third

2071
01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:38,360
Speaker 1: to fifth. I mean realistically it is. Are Clemson and

2072
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 1: Penn State legitimately top five teams? Or is it because

2073
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 1: they're you just expect it, right, I mean Penn State,

2074
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 1: like I said, every year, I mean every year like clockwork.

2075
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: Let me tell you right now a situation that is

2076
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 1: going to present itself for every person listening to my

2077
01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 1: voice right now. It is a guarantee. I've never been

2078
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: more sure of anything in my life than I am

2079
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 1: this fact. Okay, I've never been more certain of anything

2080
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 1: in my life than I am this fact, and that

2081
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:25,440
Speaker 1: is that on November the first, you're gonna be not

2082
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 1: at a haunted house because it's a day after Halloween,

2083
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:32,120
Speaker 1: but maybe doing something Halloween related or whatever it might be,

2084
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: and about eight thirty at night. You're going to come

2085
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: back on Saturday after dinner on November first, and you

2086
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 1: are the game of the week is going to be

2087
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:45,480
Speaker 1: Penn State Ohio State, and you're gonna be super excited

2088
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 1: because Ohio State is gonna be unbeaten and you're like,

2089
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, here it is. You know, Penn State

2090
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 1: is going to knock up Ohio State and give us

2091
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 1: all reprieve and oh my gosh, I just turn it

2092
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:01,160
Speaker 1: on and Penn State is leading Ohio State thirteen to

2093
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:04,560
Speaker 1: three in the third quarter and then they're going to

2094
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 1: lose thirty to thirteen. This happens every year. I've said

2095
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:10,920
Speaker 1: it before. There is no more predictable thing in all

2096
01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 1: of college football than Penn State. Having Ohio State down

2097
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 1: through two and a half quarters. You think that Ohio

2098
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: State is going to get their first loss, and then

2099
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 1: they come back and they beat Penn State, and then

2100
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 1: Penn State goes on to lose two of their next

2101
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 1: five games and go to the Outback Bowl. It is literally,

2102
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 1: I've never been more certain about anything in my life

2103
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 1: than I am. That fact that is the biggest rite

2104
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:37,840
Speaker 1: of passage of college football. Now, let me read for

2105
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: you the top twenty five Eddie, And I want you

2106
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 1: to tell me if you were Rip van Winkle and

2107
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 1: you just woke up from a thirty year nap, who

2108
01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 1: is the team outside of Indiana that you would literally go, wait,

2109
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 1: what they're ranked? Where? Okay, Texas, Penn State, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia,

2110
01:56:54,800 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, Miami, Arizona State, Illinois, South Carolina, Michigan,

2111
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 1: in Florida, SMU, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Texas A and m Indiana,

2112
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: Old miss Iowa State, Texas Tech, Tennessee and Boise State.

2113
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:12,600
Speaker 1: Which of those is the one that's like what Arizona State?

2114
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: Way up there? They used to be. Arizona State kind

2115
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: of used to be like a Penn State where they

2116
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 1: would get ranked really high in the preseason and have

2117
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,560
Speaker 1: like some big game in Sun Devil Stadium and Jake

2118
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:27,440
Speaker 1: Plumbers the quarterback, and then they would lose and you

2119
01:57:27,480 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: never hear from him again. But yes, but they were

2120
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 1: good last year. Who drafted that kid for Arizona State

2121
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:39,000
Speaker 1: the Mescatabo, Yes, New York which New York Giants. So

2122
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:39,920
Speaker 1: he's playing with your.

2123
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:43,720
Speaker 2: Buddy Yeah, he's hurt right now. Not Tyrone camps Cattabo.

2124
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 2: You think he's going to be a player, who cam, Yes,

2125
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 2: I think he will play. Yeah, I mean he was

2126
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 2: really good last year at Arizona State. South Carolina's intriguing.

2127
01:57:55,600 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 2: At thirteen, they've actually kind of quietly become pretty good.

2128
01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:05,160
Speaker 2: They got an interest staying, an intriguing quarterback. And Leonora's sellers.

2129
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 1: Tell me about Leonore what's interesting and intriguing.

2130
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys, Jake, that's the typical, you know,

2131
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 2: Jalen Milrod type, Lamar Jackson type. He's got the arm,

2132
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 2: and he's got the legs, he's got you know, size.

2133
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 2: He's like Anthony Richardson in some sense. I mean, i'd

2134
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 2: have to compare them in.

2135
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:27,320
Speaker 1: Terms of heightened wave. You know his uh, his parents

2136
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 1: so have a fruit stand, a roadside fruit stand. Did

2137
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:34,440
Speaker 1: you know that? Really it's called the seller's market. Okay,

2138
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:39,080
Speaker 1: you're done, Okay, you're done, okay, Archie, No, he actually

2139
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 1: you're right, he was. He is very slippery. Is that

2140
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:43,280
Speaker 1: the best way of saying it? So?

2141
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:46,280
Speaker 2: Richardson sixty four forty four This year sellers six three

2142
01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:48,920
Speaker 2: two forty So yeah, they're very similar. He three for

2143
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred yards last year, eighteen touchdowns, seven interceptions,

2144
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:54,960
Speaker 2: and he was on the full time starter a year ago.

2145
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 3: Either.

2146
01:58:55,520 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he torched Clemson. I remember that he's slippery. It's

2147
01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:02,920
Speaker 1: the best way of saying up. Okay. The other thing

2148
01:59:02,960 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 1: that we talked about earlier, so FS one and ESPN

2149
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 1: are bundling together. Is that right? Yeah?

2150
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports is bundling with ESPN. So essentially what's gonna

2151
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:13,720
Speaker 2: happen is they're creating a bundle to where you can

2152
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:17,880
Speaker 2: get all the ESPN platforms ESPN, ESPN two, ESPN three,

2153
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 2: ESPNU SEC plus all that stuff and then the Fox

2154
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 2: Sports side of things. So you'll get you get your

2155
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:30,919
Speaker 2: local Fox station, Fox Sports one, Fox Sports two, Fox

2156
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:36,600
Speaker 2: I think Fox News and Fox Weather Channel and all

2157
01:59:36,600 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 2: that stuff. Is it whatever's included in Fox one and

2158
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 2: thing is what they call it. Forty dollars a month

2159
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 2: for that bundle and that'll be coming in October.

2160
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:49,560
Speaker 1: But what if you have Okay again I'm a moron,

2161
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 1: and it pardon me for being a moron, But if

2162
01:59:55,480 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: you still have like I do, just regular cable, are

2163
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:05,920
Speaker 1: all of these still? Yes? So this is for so

2164
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:09,560
Speaker 1: if you are bundling, so part of my ignorance here,

2165
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:15,480
Speaker 1: so the bundle of FS one and ESPN. This is

2166
02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 1: for people who are stream only that don't have a

2167
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:21,360
Speaker 1: regular cable for the cord color cutter. Yeah, and I

2168
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:23,880
Speaker 1: get it. The thing I guess my question is this

2169
02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:29,120
Speaker 1: the cord cutters that remember, like six years ago, when

2170
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 1: everyone was cutting the cord and people were it was

2171
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,560
Speaker 1: a real trendy thing to knock on the decreased television

2172
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 1: ratings of the NFL. And I kept trying to tell everybody,

2173
02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:45,360
Speaker 1: and they thought I was just carrying the NFL's water,

2174
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 1: but I kept saying, guys, you're missing the boat here.

2175
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:54,520
Speaker 1: You're talking about and critiquing on the drop in NFL ratings,

2176
02:00:54,520 --> 02:00:56,640
Speaker 1: but what you're not equating for is the number of

2177
02:00:56,640 --> 02:00:59,160
Speaker 1: people that are cutting the cord and watching it elsewhere.

2178
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:03,920
Speaker 1: At that time, they were not factored into overall ratings.

2179
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Now are we starting to see And I'm the first

2180
02:01:09,760 --> 02:01:12,680
Speaker 1: to admit, I'm just I'm a creature of habit. It's

2181
02:01:12,720 --> 02:01:14,800
Speaker 1: not that I don't know how to do these things

2182
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:15,920
Speaker 1: or don't want to learn how to do I am

2183
02:01:15,960 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I gonna learn that stuff prett quickly. But I'm a

2184
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,760
Speaker 1: creature a habit. I have a TV, I have a

2185
02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 1: cable box. Where I live. There's only one cable provider

2186
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:24,760
Speaker 1: in the zip code I live. And I've never gone

2187
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:26,800
Speaker 1: to the streaming thing or whatever else because I'm not

2188
02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:30,560
Speaker 1: home at my residence. Enough truth be told, Shannon's got

2189
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:32,920
Speaker 1: every channel known to man, right, I mean, she's a

2190
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,440
Speaker 1: TV Like. I walked in the other day and I'm like,

2191
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:38,320
Speaker 1: what are you watching? And she's like, I'm watching the

2192
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Real Housewives at Bangladesh And I'm like, well, I knew

2193
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:42,000
Speaker 1: they do that in Orange County. She's like, oh, no,

2194
02:01:42,040 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 1: this is Bangladesh television.

2195
02:01:43,240 --> 02:01:43,640
Speaker 5: I'm watching.

2196
02:01:43,680 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, some channel she has. Now, having said all

2197
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: of that, are we started. Are we entering into the

2198
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:54,880
Speaker 1: area where people who cut the cord for cost purposes

2199
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:58,720
Speaker 1: and began doing only streaming are now going to bounce

2200
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,080
Speaker 1: back to the old way because the streaming thing has

2201
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:04,040
Speaker 1: become as expensive, if not more so than cable.

2202
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Just wonder if they think I'm a moron when they're

2203
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:09,480
Speaker 2: going through all that, Jake, I can see it happening.

2204
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,080
Speaker 2: Could you like, you're paying forty dollars a month for

2205
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:17,800
Speaker 2: you know, ESPN and Fox together. Yeah, I mean what

2206
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:19,680
Speaker 2: else you're paying. But that's that's what I mean.

2207
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 1: And then you get between you know, Apple TV and

2208
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Prime and Netflix and et cetera, et cetera. You know

2209
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. Paramount what's that paramount? That's another one,

2210
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:35,120
Speaker 1: and paramount is the Okay, so paramount is all the

2211
02:02:35,160 --> 02:02:40,920
Speaker 1: CBS properties, right, Yep? Peacock is all the NBC properties? Yep?

2212
02:02:41,040 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Is Peacock still around?

2213
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:42,600
Speaker 2: It is?

2214
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:48,720
Speaker 1: What's the one that went away? I thought there was

2215
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:51,839
Speaker 1: one that started to go that that they've gone away from. Hulu.

2216
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Hulu is still around though, right.

2217
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Hulu is now with in terms of all their streaming

2218
02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:59,880
Speaker 2: not streaming stuff, but like all their shows is looped

2219
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:01,200
Speaker 2: with Disney Plus.

2220
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Okay, and then Disney But Disney Plus is ESPN. So

2221
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:08,560
Speaker 1: if you have Disney Plus, now you have Disney plus ESPN.

2222
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Who like and and FS one? Right?

2223
02:03:12,880 --> 02:03:14,800
Speaker 2: Uh no, that's only if you do the bundle with

2224
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:19,120
Speaker 2: See this is a prime example Jan of you and

2225
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 2: what you said earlier.

2226
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:22,959
Speaker 1: I'm a moron in what way?

2227
02:03:23,520 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.

2228
02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:25,240
Speaker 1: No, I don't disagree.

2229
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:28,000
Speaker 2: You said, the Fox Sports one and the ESPN stuff

2230
02:03:28,040 --> 02:03:31,120
Speaker 2: is only going to be like the whatever the direct

2231
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 2: to consumer thing is that ESPN's talking about, so like

2232
02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:36,880
Speaker 2: their ESPN channels and then Fox sports is channels, so

2233
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 2: like that will not be included in with your Disney Plus.

2234
02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,520
Speaker 2: It's just ESPN and it's just Fox canning.

2235
02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: But Disney Plus has ESPN, right, So if you have

2236
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Disney Plus with ESPN, you don't need the bundle with

2237
02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 1: ESPN and Fox right.

2238
02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:55,800
Speaker 2: No, I think if I'm understanding you correctly. No, Okay,

2239
02:03:55,800 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 2: hold on ESPN Plus separate from Disney Plus.

2240
02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Okay, hear me out. My name is Jake, I subscribe

2241
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:12,240
Speaker 1: to I have been committed to jail. In my jail cell,

2242
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:15,120
Speaker 1: the only thing I can view is anything on Disney Plus.

2243
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:15,760
Speaker 2: Yep.

2244
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Will I be able to see ESPN?

2245
02:04:18,880 --> 02:04:18,960
Speaker 4: No?

2246
02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I will see no ESPN stuff on Disney Plus.

2247
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:28,240
Speaker 2: No, because Disney Plus just contains like the Disney shows,

2248
02:04:28,280 --> 02:04:34,640
Speaker 2: the Disney movies, the shows and stuff that Hulu has. Uh,

2249
02:04:34,680 --> 02:04:38,240
Speaker 2: you're looking at like your Marvel stuff Star Wars. I

2250
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:39,240
Speaker 2: think is in There.

2251
02:04:39,120 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a time where ESPN was connected to Disney Plus.

2252
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 2: ESPN owns Disney Plus.

2253
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:46,760
Speaker 1: I understood a part of the old I'm fairly certain

2254
02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:50,120
Speaker 1: that as a Disney Plus subscriber, at least mobilely speaking,

2255
02:04:50,520 --> 02:04:54,320
Speaker 1: that allows you access to watch mobile games on ESPN.

2256
02:04:55,840 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 2: I don't believe.

2257
02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: So okay, So I I'm Jake Querry. I've been committed

2258
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:05,280
Speaker 1: to jail and I need to see ESPN. Now. The

2259
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:07,440
Speaker 1: bundle that I would need to buy is the ESPN

2260
02:05:07,480 --> 02:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Fox Bundle. Correct, Yes, And that's the only place that

2261
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I would be able to see ESPN if i'm if

2262
02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm streaming.

2263
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 2: No, I mean that is one of the three different

2264
02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:20,480
Speaker 2: avenues you have, Like there's so many avenues now with

2265
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 2: ESPN Plus to have access to ESPN, you can just

2266
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 2: do ESPN Plus and you have access to all the

2267
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:30,440
Speaker 2: ESPN channels. You can do ESPN and Disney Plus, ESPN

2268
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 2: and Fox.

2269
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 1: But again I thought you said Disney Plus doesn't have ESPN. No,

2270
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:37,920
Speaker 1: there's a bundle with esp what you're saying. And so

2271
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:42,120
Speaker 1: this is like going through the cafeteria. Yes, and you

2272
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:44,200
Speaker 1: can pick up this and put it on your tray,

2273
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:46,480
Speaker 1: this and put it on your tray whatever. Right, Yes, Okay,

2274
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I can't be the only one though

2275
02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: that finds it. And again part of it is because

2276
02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't need it, because I have I came up

2277
02:05:56,120 --> 02:05:57,800
Speaker 1: package that as everything, but like, and I'm not home

2278
02:05:57,880 --> 02:06:00,920
Speaker 1: that often. But I can't be the only one though,

2279
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 1: that finds this after a while where you're just like, man,

2280
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:08,960
Speaker 1: now it's become so convoluted and non no longer cost

2281
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:12,840
Speaker 1: effective if you will, or then again, maybe in fact,

2282
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm just a moron. So Eddie, I just realized in

2283
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 1: this conversation. Yeah, I think I told you, like my

2284
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:25,200
Speaker 1: cable provider just sent me like a new box last week.

2285
02:06:25,280 --> 02:06:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is this? So that has caused me

2286
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 1: to now just now go in because it's been a

2287
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,040
Speaker 1: while to have done this and look and see, like, actually,

2288
02:06:33,120 --> 02:06:36,160
Speaker 1: what I'm paying for. I mean, this is like the

2289
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:40,240
Speaker 1: biggest scam ever, not literally, but the amount that I'm

2290
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 1: paying and I have no idea what all I'm paying for.

2291
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:45,960
Speaker 1: It just says internet TV, and the amount I'm like, wait,

2292
02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 1: but I'm paying that a month is like almost two

2293
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: and a half times what I remember signing up for.

2294
02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:56,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's some fine print that I signed

2295
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: up for something like every six months we will upgrade

2296
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:00,560
Speaker 1: you to this and that I mean, I'm probably I

2297
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:03,360
Speaker 1: don't even know, but I'm guessing that without even knowing it,

2298
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm probably paying an additional eighteen bucks a month for

2299
02:07:07,120 --> 02:07:11,000
Speaker 1: Icelandic comics. You know what I mean, there's probably some

2300
02:07:11,160 --> 02:07:12,720
Speaker 1: channel that I have no idea what the hell it

2301
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:18,720
Speaker 1: is on here, But I mean, this is like absurd.

2302
02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:21,480
Speaker 1: I like watching TV at home, but not this much.

2303
02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man.

2304
02:07:22,880 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 2: Shout out to Brian, who texted us Jake three one, seven, two, nine,

2305
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:30,240
Speaker 2: ten seventy. By the way, that conversation reminded U Brian

2306
02:07:30,280 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 2: of a different version of Who's on First.

2307
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:35,400
Speaker 1: Totally I get it. I mean, it's it is confusing

2308
02:07:35,440 --> 02:07:39,480
Speaker 1: as hell, Like I just there is part of me.

2309
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:42,640
Speaker 1: This is a company I should start. There's a company

2310
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,000
Speaker 1: I should start a company where you go on it,

2311
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 1: you push one button and it just cleanses out everything

2312
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 1: and you start from scratch. Because I don't I mean,

2313
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 1: at this point the number of different things I'm subscribing

2314
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:55,920
Speaker 1: to and paying too for different services, I'm like, I

2315
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:59,240
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Just it'd be great if you if

2316
02:07:59,240 --> 02:08:00,880
Speaker 1: there's a company you go you and you just go, Okay,

2317
02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: here's what I want. I want to be able to

2318
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:05,240
Speaker 1: see these four channels in these five sports, Okay, boom,

2319
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,560
Speaker 1: then there you go. They're set up right here and

2320
02:08:07,560 --> 02:08:10,640
Speaker 1: here's where it is. But it just feel I can't

2321
02:08:10,640 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 1: be the only one that feels like all the streaming

2322
02:08:12,440 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 1: stuff is just like these little storms spiraling all over

2323
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the place, and I'm like, I don't I can't grasp

2324
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 1: or put my arms around what it is that I bought.

2325
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:20,440
Speaker 1: At this point, what's a.

2326
02:08:20,400 --> 02:08:22,640
Speaker 2: Good thing you have Shannon there to do that all

2327
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:23,400
Speaker 2: for you, Jake.

2328
02:08:24,040 --> 02:08:27,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm telling you she's got five hundred and ninety channels.

2329
02:08:28,120 --> 02:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Now I do enjoy one of the channels that she had,

2330
02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:32,520
Speaker 1: and I think this is on mine as well. At

2331
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:36,520
Speaker 1: like midnight, I'll watch not religiously, but if I'm flipping

2332
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:39,200
Speaker 1: through the channels there's nothing on all, I'll find myself watching.

2333
02:08:39,560 --> 02:08:42,520
Speaker 1: That's a good one. But no old reruns of Johnny Carson,

2334
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty two that bring out some actor and like, man,

2335
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:46,840
Speaker 1: this guy's ancient and you look it up and you're like,

2336
02:08:46,880 --> 02:08:51,440
Speaker 1: he's forty eight years old. What in the world, Why

2337
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:54,200
Speaker 1: is this guy wearing a polyester suit and firing up

2338
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:57,920
Speaker 1: a lung dart. It looks like he's ninety. Different era

2339
02:08:58,960 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 1: colts are out in gran Park and Westfield, after noon practice.

2340
02:09:02,200 --> 02:09:05,160

Speaker 1: play or Sunday Saturday. And I am still by the way.

2343
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Several people have asked and thank you for that. I

2344
02:09:15,840 --> 02:09:20,240
Speaker 1: have reached out to see if the youth programs still

2345
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:25,840
Speaker 1: would like to accept tickets if people do not use

2346
02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:28,680
Speaker 1: their preseason tickets, but I've not yet heard from those programs,

2347
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:30,880
Speaker 1: so I will let you know when that happens, and
