22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people in the radio row.

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I am always amazed at the Dallas station next to us.

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,760

00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 4: Oh, look at that.

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Look at that. Now, those dollar bills should be twenties, right, Mark,

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: you know it.

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: Don't forget super one wing special.

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: And there you go. There you go? How sure?

39
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: Look there we go? All right, give me, give me,

Speaker 1: There are none?

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: There we go? Oh baby, Yeah.

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: For our non YouTube audience out there, Mark Dykton would

44
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: like to just what your eyes just witnessed.

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Kevin stripped teased into a Hammon Bears Ditka sweater so

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: it looks glorious to the shop and to the shop

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: they were at the combine.

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Mark, I've got yours sitting shot gun with me. I

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: buckled her in this morning just to make sure she

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: was safe and sounds if we crossed paths on this Friday,

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: I will assure you yours gets to you. But yes,

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I I I'm kind of curious. Do I get an

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: he looks for this, James, do you think you think

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: anybody will kind of do one of those double takes?

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 4: I think we got to be a little closer to

56
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: whoever esp in Chicago is something like that, or right here, Fox.

57
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: Chicago right behind it too is next to us, and

58
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: like where are the Bears? There's es PAN Chicago. That's

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: not that far either.

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you gotta just slide on the bay and

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 4: tell him. I got some thoughts on this whole two

62
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: teams Indiana.

63
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: Would you like to interview me?

64
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin Bowden, Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, tell us more

65
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: about like you're.

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: The guy who's been putting those packers things in the urinal.

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 4: It's him. The ski mask is off.

68
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Good Friday morning to you. We got a loaded final

69
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: show here at the Combine Field. Yates from ESPN gonna

70
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: join us live on set at eight. Always enjoy our

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Combine Combos with the great Chris Call from Visit Indy.

72
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: I think he's a busy man this week, maybe trying

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: to get the NFL draft to call Indie home, so

74
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: we will have him with us here. That's eight thirty,

75
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: right mark for Chris Call. Yes, correct, eight thirty for

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Chris Call. And on the other side of this curtain, James,

77
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: in less than an hour, you will have the Heisman

78
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Trophy winner, certainly one of the more beloved athletes I

79
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: think to call Indian home, albeit brief in his really

80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: our sports life, and that would be for NATO min

81
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: breed Thoza. This is a lifetime commitment, was baby, but boy, yes,

82
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: that is a lifetime for sure. Fernando Mendoza will meet

83
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: the media coming up at eight o'clock.

84
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: Question, so I'm curious what the listeners think as well.

85
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: How long are you willing to be in a drought

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: if you knew your team was gonna win the national

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: championship next year? Because we talked about Indiana and I

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: you the drought was basically their entire existence. So you win,

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: you're relieved, Kevin, if you're if you are a Notre

90
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: Dame fan, how long do you give some grace if

91
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: you know, like, okay, I can win it all next year.

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, thirty six years for me, certainly from a football standpoint,

93
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: thirty six years, I guess from a basketball standpoint, probably

94
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: laughable even mentioned basketball at this point. But jeez, man,

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: I you know we've I've half jokingly, half serious said

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: this about Indiana fans right now. Do they sacrifice basketball

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: so football could rise? We have talked about this and

98
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: is that worth it? You know, when you it's funny

99
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: when you look at the top ten teams in college

100
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: basketball right now, you don't find a lot of great

101
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: college football programs, right you know, when you think about

102
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: the group, you know, Michigan's obviously had some success, being

103
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Arizona or Kansas or you know, even Purdue you throw

104
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: in there. I guess you're fighting the line. I would

105
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: be one of them. Debrasket football clearly has done nothing.

106
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know the old suffering boy. But that's

107
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: what makes it worth it, right, Oh?

108
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And that's why I think again you talk about

109
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: his one year here, baby, he's getting a statue in

110
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: blooming and.

111
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: Mark what have we called him? Is Joel ostein met

112
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon. Is that what we're getting from Fernana Mendoza

113
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock today when we takes the well, I'll

114
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: tell you what hopefullis with your Sunday TV preacher, right,

115
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: just a little.

116
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: Bit, I think well, I will say, you know, next

117
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: time a floods at the Bowing household, hopefully Fridan, I'll

118
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: let you in and not like Joel Olstein right outside.

119
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: So Mark, I might need to move the credential a

120
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: little bit. So the full hammet effect is you know.

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got you got, proud.

122
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Of it, proud come on. Obviously the news from yesterday

123
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: we'll get to a lot as Anthony Richardson in that

124
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: request of a trade that was the big news item

125
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: from Thursday, will hit on some other stuff as well.

126
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: We did see o'bi top and make his I Guess

127
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Re season debut. Only eight minutes for him last night,

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: a couple four minutes stints as the Pacers once again

129
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: get smoked. That is now five straight losses for them. Damn.

130
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: The Hornets can shoot the rock and Conker Nipple, who

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, he can really fill it up.

132
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: So Pacers lose last night in Charlotte or excuse me,

133
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: two Charlotte inside of Gambridge Field House they'll take on

134
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: Memphis Sunday before they go out west for a road trip.

135
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: And I thought it was a great game last night

136
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: in West Lafayette. And if you are Purdue, you checked

137
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: so many of the boxes I think you would want to.

138
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: First off, you out rebound at Michigan State, which is

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: super rare. They finished the night single digit turnover number,

140
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: also something that you would have signed up for, and

141
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Purdue shot it very well really from the floor and

142
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: from three. It's just the reminder I think at this

143
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 1: point of the season with Purdue at twenty two and

144
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: six James offensively, there is hardly anything to worry about

145
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: with them. They are very gifted offensively. The question will

146
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: become if they want to be playing five hundred yards

147
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: from here, three hundred yards from here in April. You

148
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: have got to string together some semblance of defense and

149
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: stops if you're gonna beat the quality opponents like they've

150
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: really lost to, you know, several times here at home

151
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: in the season.

152
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: Were you okay with the look at the end there

153
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 4: for Bradon Smith, Yeah.

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think ideally it had been something else,

155
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: but you know, I gotta throw the cavea out of

156
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: three seconds to go in the game.

157
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't nippick too.

158
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you're gonna do. I mean,

159
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought Bender got a decent look before that. Maybe

160
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: a better pass. He's more in rhythm there. Yeah, And

161
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: ultimately Trey Coff and Ren going over his left shoulder

162
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: with the right hook to tie the game is about

163
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: as good of a look as you're gonna get.

164
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: So Yeah, I actually thought that Trey Coff marin Is

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: playmaking yesterday was pretty good. I know, you look at

166
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: his stat line. Yeah, it was kind of like a

167
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: Draymond Green esque stat line without all the antics, of course,

168
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: but you know, ten points, six rebounds, seven, this is

169
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: only one turnover. I thought that he pretty much picked

170
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: a part that Michigan State defense. But on the flip side,

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 4: I thought Carson Cooper for them was really good. Kevin

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: especially in the post giving them some love there. And

173
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: then Cohen Carr is just incredible athlete. I feel like

174
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 4: whenever he dunks Kevin.

175
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: He will say the dunk contest. That's my thought after

176
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: last night.

177
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: Boy, I'll tell you what, if he doesn't get in it,

178
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: we're cooked.

179
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: He should have been in it this year. Tom Mizzo

180
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: should have sent him to the dunk contest hot take

181
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: this year?

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: Are you open? I mean, guy's getting paid now, So

183
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: are you open to letting the guys in the college

184
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: ranks if they want to get out the NBA all

185
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: start weekend doing some dunks? Is that better than begging

186
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: the bottom of the roster guys in the NBA to

187
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: do it?

188
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take anything then that man, Can you want

189
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: to talk about end game dunker? You know, I know

190
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: you've brought up Abie Topping quite a lot quite accurately.

191
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: The ease at which Cohen Car can just fly is

192
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: unbelieve Hell, I would screw Spirit airlines. I'd take Cohen

193
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: Car up in the air and see what happens.

194
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think his last name should be playing, quite frankly,

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 4: because Car didn't only fit the guy with who's off

196
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 4: the ground like that, but also jokes aside, Kevin, I

197
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: do think those types of plays that he provides, even

198
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 4: the dunks or the big blocks, Yes, they might count

199
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: for one block or two points, but they're like momentum

200
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: swinging juice plays, you know what I mean. And if

201
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: you're in an environment like Mackie. But they said on

202
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: the broadcast last night, first win there for that program

203
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: in twelve years. Those types of plays are will allow

204
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: you to count, take the crowd out of it a

205
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: little bit, and stay poised in a crazy, crazy setting

206
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: CBS doubleheader.

207
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Now for Indiana and Purdue this weekend, Indiana will get

208
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: their chance of Michigan State inside of Assembly Hall, and

209
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Purdue will go to Ohio State. That's coming up again

210
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon doubleheader on CBS. James. Obviously, yesterday we saw

211
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: the storyline really just after we signed off, kind of

212
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: around lunchtime, of Anthony Richardson and that trade request. My

213
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: first thought was this, you know, when you when you

214
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: come to the combine. First off, I don't know if

215
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: people fully realize this, but you could make the statement

216
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: that the NFL Combine is the most pivotal event of

217
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: the entire NFL calendar when you think about the coaches

218
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: that are here, the general managers that are here, the

219
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: agents that are here, and obviously the college prospects that

220
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: are here. And I bring that up to say this,

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: when you draft a player fourth overall and you fast

222
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: forward to entering that player's fourth season, the thought is

223
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: when you meet at the combine GM an agent. The

224
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: thought is when you go up to Cafe Patachew right

225
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: off there off Washington and you're meeting, you're trying to

226
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: put the framework together on the second contract. That's what

227
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to do.

228
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: For sure.

229
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: You are saying, hey, we have drafted a franchise player.

230
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: We want him to continue to be our side of

231
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: the building quarterback. And yet when those parties met yesterday,

232
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: it was about a marriage ending. And to me, while expected,

233
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion, I never thought Anthony Ridgarson

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: would be on the team in twenty twenty six. It's

235
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: still jarring that it's like, this is where it's going,

236
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: and the return on it is going to be what

237
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: the one hundredth pick in the draft, that is like

238
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: the maybe best case in there. Right.

239
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would say Kevin because I went through

240
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: it and actually put out a column this morning on

241
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: the Athletic kind of basically detailing the nuances of the

242
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson experience. And there's just so much that I

243
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: think people here in this city, our listeners can relate

244
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: to that maybe the national audience can't. Like, there's just

245
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: so many different layers to it. It's you know, I

246
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: remember going back. Actually, I was going back through the

247
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: press conference, Kevin, when Anthony was announced as the starter,

248
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: and one of the questions you asked Shane Stecking at

249
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: the time was why are you so confident in this

250
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: kid to play right away given the lack of college experience.

251
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 4: And one of the things that Shane said was, well,

252
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: he showed a lot of good things in that game

253
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: against Buffalo in the preseason. And I go back and

254
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: look at it. It was twenty nice snaps, twenty nine snaps.

255
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 4: They crowned him as the guy, and I went back

256
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: through a bunch of different transcripts. I know we'll get

257
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: deeper into this, but one quick thing for our early

258
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: listeners is that Chris Ballard has kind of gotten on

259
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: this hill. I was saying in the last couple of

260
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: years and saying, hey, you guys, crown everybody the media wants.

261
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 4: He's guts to be ready right away. No, you said that,

262
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 4: you said the night he was drafted, don't crown him

263
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: right away, and you did. You gave him the keys

264
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: of the franchise. And we look up now three years

265
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: later and in this very same setting and venue where

266
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: he lit the world on fire as the freakish athlete,

267
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: you know, the golden child, to now being the guy

268
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: who you know, you hope that you can get draft.

269
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Conversation for how they named him a captain.

270
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: And then had to ask him yeah, and then had

271
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: to ask him to focus more on the game plan.

272
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: A lot to get to with Anthony Richardson, and again

273
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: that trade request he teased it yesterday. If you made

274
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: a list of Daniel Jones, Alec Piercemichael Pittman's Franklin Nick Cross,

275
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: how would you rank those most likely the least likely

276
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: to come back? Mark? How about just a very simple

277
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: poll if you don't mind, and I'm not talking about

278
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: the poll that I slid down to start the show.

279
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: Simple pull from the show account. Do you want the

280
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: Colts to trade Anthony Richardson? Yes or no? Very simple?

281
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Here on this Friday morning, forty five minutes from now

282
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: for Nanna mindos, we'll meet the media. We've got a

283
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: ton to get to here, plenty on your plate here,

284
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, everybody, Thanks for tuning in, and a shout

287
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: listen back to the start of the show. I think

288
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,280

289
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: So shout out to kJ good luck at the start

290

298
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Indeed, Friday at the NFL Combine, Quarterbacks are gonna bet

299
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: the media here coming up in about forty minutes. That

300
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: means quite the crowd around podium number six for one

301
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: fer Nando Mendoza. That will be the big news items,

302
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: certainly locally and I think probably nationally here on Friday, James.

303
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had the front seven workout. Today we go

304
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: defensive backs inside of Lucas Soil Stadium Tomorrow. Quarterbacks. Again,

305
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: Mendoza has already said he will not throw anything on

306
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: your mind. As we kind of reach probably the quieter

307
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: time here at the Combine, pretty much on field workouts

308
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: the big news items the next couple days.

309
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, from a local standpoint, D'Angelo Hans,

310
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: what are you testing at? I think that's a big,

311
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: big thing for him, because you know, there's people that

312
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: love his tape, love his demeanor, but then there's other

313
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: people who are like, well, if you don't reach these measurables,

314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 4: you're not on our board or at this certain range

315
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 4: or whatever. So very curious to see how that comes out,

316
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: because you know, whenever we playgh school basketball, Kevin, you

317
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: got two more inches on the height, you know a

318
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: little about ten more pounds on the weight. Where's he at?

319
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: For real?

320
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think our running back in high school was

321
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: five to eleven on the football roster, sixty four in

322
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: the basketball roster.

323
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: Well, I was six to one in high school. So

324
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: I've struck my age.

325
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to take you over to lucas Olo

326
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Stadium and the double check that. All right, Let's transition

327
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: to hoops from last night just down the street Gamebridge

328
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: Field House. It was pretty much the same result we've

329
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: seen since the Pacers have returned from the All Star break.

330
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: A loss, a convincing loss, and a night where the

331
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: defense was lacking. Although I will say this, watching Charlotte

332
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: shoot the basketball last night, boy Brandon Miller, Conk Nipple

333
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: and LaMelo Ball, they all can stroke it. It was

334
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: a flurry there in the second quarter. I think the

335
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: Pacers scored fourteen points there in the second quarter, or

336
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: twelve points maybe it was, which is a season low.

337
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: We did see Obi top and James eight minutes for

338
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: him did have a nice take on the first possession,

339
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: but definitely, you know, some expected rust from Obi. So

340
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: one more for the Pacers at home coming up on

341
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: Sunday against Memphis at five, and then they are out West,

342
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: and I believe they'll see Benedict Madarin out there.

343
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: That should be interesting.

344
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: That'll be worth staying up for next week for sure.

345
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 4: I do think that Benedict and Rick Carlois had a

346
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: unique relationship. I'll never forget when Rick told us that

347
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: when they worked him out for the draft, he actually

348
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: came back that night as well to get more work

349
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: from Rick Carlisle, which was obviously a very endearing method

350
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 4: to kind of let him know he was serious about

351
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 4: his career, and they ended up drafting him. I thought

352
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: he was a good player, maybe not the best fit

353
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: for the Pacers, So we'll see what the future holes

354
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: on both sides.

355
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Wednesday at ten thirty. That one, Pacers and Clippers all right,

356
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: West Loafayette. Last night, I thought it was a great,

357
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: great game, but defensive questions continue to be there for Purdue,

358
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: especially if they're gonna get on any sort of run.

359
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: They did a lot of things last night, James, I

360
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: think Matt Payter would have signed up for. Before the game,

361
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: they out rebounded one of the best rebounding teams and

362
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: off College of Basketball. They shot it pretty well. Again,

363
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: when you keep the turnover number to single digits, you

364
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: feel like you're going to win that game. But Michigan

365
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: State made some massive plays down the stretch. Purdue had

366
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: looks to tie it to Babe, even win the game there,

367
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: but they lose seventy six seventy four. That is now

368
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: four home losses this season for Purdue. Definitely not something

369
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: I would have expected at the start of the year.

370
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Honestly, if you tell me Purdue's gonna, you know,

371
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: shoot forty nine percent and knock down some shots from

372
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: the outside as well, you'd think that that's enough to

373
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 4: get you over the hump. I mean, I shot forty

374
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: eight percent from three yesterday, but you look on the

375
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 4: flip side and Michigan State shot fifty three percent from

376
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: the field, had more attempts and things like that overall,

377
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: so or actually a couple less attempts. But but but

378
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 4: to me, I look at it like this, when it

379
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: comes to your execution and really your defensive execution late,

380
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 4: that's probably where like the rope got let go a

381
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 4: little bit. That's six to old spurt there. I want

382
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: to say, the about six minutes left in the game,

383
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 4: Kevin gave Michigan State just enough cushion to hang on

384
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: and survive in a place that most teams do not.

385
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 4: And as the broadcast said last night, first win there

386
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: for tom Is it a company in twelve years?

387
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Again, the defensive questions will will be the biggest

388
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 1: thing for me when we get to March of if

389
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat you know, Michigan State's whatever, second weekend team,

390
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat several of those teams, which you're

391
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to, uh, can you get enough stops offensively?

392
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: There's a little to question about Purdue with how they've

393
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: played this season, but that will be the definite question

394
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: once we start to transition here. So a reminder for

395
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Sunday it's Indiana hosting Michigan State on CBS, and then

396
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the second game will be Purdue at Ohio State. There

397
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: litill CBS doubleheader. Butler has got the weekend off. We'll

398
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: get to IndyCar the Saint Pete Race. Mark Jane's actually

399
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: gonna join us here on the other side. We'll chat

400
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: about that for a few minutes before we get into

401
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson and the trade request that was yesterday A

402
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: lot to get to here, Field Gates and ESPN going

403
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: to join us on site at eight o'clock and probably

404
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: in the night o'clock hour will get to most likely

405
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: to least likely cult to return in twenty twenty five.

406
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: What if we made that list of a Daniel Jones,

407
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: of a Alec Pierce, of a Michael Pittman junior at

408
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Nick Cross, a Zia Franklin, how would you rank that

409
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: one to five? Mark? Do we have that pull up?

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: Would you trade Anthony Richardson? It is live now live

411
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: poll there, and again this is not myself over there

412
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: at the garter after how we started off the show,

413
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: Although it sounds like We're going to a lot of

414
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: requests for us to dial back to the seven o'clock

415
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: hour and that trip tease that was Kevin Bowen, Mark

416
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: Dyton onside engineer Cam Blankenship and back in studio. It

417
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: is the one the only Mark Dyton, thank you for

418
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: joining us here on the Fan Morning Show. Well, the

419
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: crowd is already picking up here in the convention center.

420
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: We are live on Radio Row. About a half hour

421
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: from now, Fernando Mendoza will meet the media and that's

422
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: really the big news item here on this Friday. Workouts

423
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: will be defensive backs inside of Lucas Oil Stadium coming

424
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: up here in about what ten minutes James got to

425
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: get into the news item from yesterday and the trade

426
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: requests for Anthony Richardson Senior. Just all the ramifications off

427
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: of that, you know, to me, kind of a expected

428
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: obviously conclusion, but still doesn't lessen the jarring nature. And Mark,

429
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: I know you put out the poll. I would say

430
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: the early results quite interesting on if Colts fans want

431
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson to be traded or not.

432
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: Honestly, looking at it, from my perspective, it's less about

433
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: where we are now because I think anybody with a

434
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 4: pulse on the city understands how we got here to

435
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 4: a degree. But again, I'm walking around the combine and

436
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: I have buddies of mine who are like, okay, well

437
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: what's going on? Is he worth taking a flyer on?

438
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, how much time you got? It's complicated,

439
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 4: And I think my thinking is that overall everyone involved

440
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: deserves some level of blame in this not working out.

441
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: I know it's easy to point into the player, easy

442
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 4: to point to the GM, but also want to be

443
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 4: kind of conscious of everyone maybe not doing what they're

444
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 4: supposed to do. And Kevin I used this line in

445
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 4: my story yesterday. If we're looking at this like a marriage, right,

446
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 4: and they're going towards the divorce and couple's therapy ain't working.

447
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 4: In that therapy session, both sides are pointing their fingers

448
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 4: saying you do not out of your vows, And that

449
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: to me is the crux of this. The Colts drafted

450
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 4: a player who they later said, Chris ballad that is,

451
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 4: we shouldn't have played as early. And then for Anthony,

452
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: he was a player who did not uphold into the

453
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: bargain from a leadership standpoint, I mean if you ask

454
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 4: anybody who's not here in this city to define Anthony Richardson,

455
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 4: they'd be like, oh, that guy who tapped out of

456
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 4: a game. So that's hard to dismiss.

457
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to take the marriage analogy a

458
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: step further, the custody split ain't fifty to fifty. The

459
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: Colts invested a whole lot more and spending the fourth

460
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: overall pick on him than what they're about to get

461
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: and regard absolutely for him. And again, to me, that's

462
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: kind of the jarring nature. And I go back to

463
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, James, that's kind of where my head

464
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: went yesterday and trying to process all this. Think about

465
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty two season, all the suffering you had

466
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: during that year, and obviously you win four games, you

467
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: go with Frank Reich. Then it's the Jeff Saturday situation,

468
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: the biggest blown lead in the NFL history. In the

469
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: game at Minnesota, I think the Dallas Cowboy has just

470
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: scored another fourth quarter touchdown against the Colts. Yeah, what

471
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: was that thirty points you allowed in the fourth quarter

472
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: of that game? You think about all of that. The

473
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: NFL says, if you go through these horrific seasons, there's

474
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: no lottery odds you're gonna be drafting high. And the

475
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: Colts drafted high. They drafted fourth overall, they drafted high

476
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: obviously in all the respective rounds after that. And if

477
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: you look back on that twenty twenty three draft, James,

478
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: you could very well make the case it's the worst

479
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: draft in the Chris Ballard nine year era. And think

480
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: about that. It's the draft where he had the best picks,

481
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: and that was supposed to be the start of the

482
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: rebuild that was. Remember our conversation with Chris Ballard at

483
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: this very table last year, why do you feel like

484
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: you're getting the ninth year? And he pretty much said

485
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: Jim Mersey sat him down at the end of the

486
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season and said, we'll give you a

487
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: chance here with the rebuild, the first year head coach,

488
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: the young quarterback, blah blah blah. And you look at

489
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: that draft and outside of about Josh Downs and at

490
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: a tamuwa Auta ba a a rotational defensive tackle and

491
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: maybe if you want to stretch Jayalen Jones, although Jalen

492
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: Jones with this defensive coordinator doesn't look like that's much

493
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: of an answer. It's a horrific draft. And when you

494
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: go four and twelve and you say to your GM,

495
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: we're going to give you another chance, you have to

496
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: hit on that next draft. You've got to rebuild with

497
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: the solid foundation there, and it's a royal swing and

498
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: miss as we sit here now three years later evaluating it.

499
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's why when he came on

500
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 4: our show Wednesday morning, and again we appreciate the time

501
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: on our airwaves, but a little shot of well, no

502
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 4: one ever really gives me bleep in person because they're

503
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 4: too scared. I'm like, these folks ain't scared now, they

504
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 4: just don't know where ye at. Because there are plenty

505
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: of Colts fans who would love to share their thoughts

506
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: with Chris Ballard and kind of perhaps not come down

507
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: a peg to say, Hey, while you're saying we're scared of,

508
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: you know, criticizing you in person or we're crazy online,

509
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: what have you given us to perhaps not have that stance?

510
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: What have you given us to have faith or belief

511
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 4: in your last good team was in twenty twenty, Kevin Bowen.

512
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 4: The world was different then, very different. I mean, what

513
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: are you talking about? You talk about twenty twenty. I

514
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: have to remind myself the last time you made the playoffs,

515
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: that was with the other version of Philip Rivers, not

516
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: the one you tried to get to salvageer season this

517
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: year five years later. So again, if we look at

518
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 4: NFL years like dog years, it seems like he's had

519
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: a lifetime to turn this franchise around and it just

520
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 4: hasn't happened for whatever reason. And again, is it all

521
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 4: on Chris Ballard. No, But if you're looking at to

522
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 4: use your analogy, Kevin, you know Cussody split, he's taking

523
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 4: the most kids with him.

524
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you look kind of the blame game and

525
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: all of this, you know you can split up the

526
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: pie in whatever piece you would like. You know, there

527
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: is obviously a lack of maturity. I think it's fair

528
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: to say with the player that I think we saw

529
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: play out for Anthony Richardson, I would argue the coaching

530
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: element of handing him the starting job so early, and

531
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: again that captaincy if you really had leadership questions or whatever,

532
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: self motivational questions, whatever you want to label with Richardson,

533
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: in no way, shape or form should those keys have

534
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: been handed to him, right and then I also go

535
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: back to the scouting process, and this is where I am.

536
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at that quarterback class, by

537
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: all accounts, the Colts hated Will levis very understandable if

538
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: we see how his career played out. So you had

539
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, you had c J. Stroud, obviously had Anthony Richardson.

540
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: Marks Bears were sitting there at number one, clearly open

541
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: for business, and it was Carolina that came screaming up

542
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: from whatever it was, eight to nine, somewhere back there

543
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: in the top ten nine, and they traded up to

544
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: draft Bryce Young. If you do the evaluation process James

545
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: of Bryce Young, c J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and if

546
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: you sit there at whatever, let's call it mid March,

547
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: and you sit there and say, hey, this quarterback group

548
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: has a clear top two. Let's just call Bryce Young

549
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 1: and c J. Stroud a top two, then you have

550
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: to do everything in your power to get up there.

551
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: Whereas I think there was a lot more of a

552
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: contentment with Anthony Richardson, and that to me is kind

553
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: of where the miss scouting element comes into play. You

554
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: thought the development project would have been easier. I guess

555
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: with him, you banked on the ability to try and

556
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: improve accuracy, which was something that we of course wildly

557
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: debated throughout this process. So you know, for me, you

558
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: can lay slices of blame really at all three parts

559
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: of it. Whether it's the identification of him coming out

560
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 1: of Florida, whether it's the actual coaching once you got

561
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: him in the NFL, or certainly on the player himself,

562
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: just the general maturation to tap out everything that it

563
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: takes to be an NFL starting quarterback. Well, you know me,

564
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: I like to point the finger. So if I got

565
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: to pick.

566
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 4: The one element or one person to point the finger at, first,

567
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: I do go back to the evaluation process of Anthony

568
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: because they ranted and raved about his leadership, about his

569
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 4: work ethic, about his character. And to be very clear,

570
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 4: Anthony is not a bad person. I think his personal

571
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: story how he got to the NFL with his mom

572
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 4: and his little brother is endearing, it's inspiring. But you

573
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: didn't see any of these red flags. You didn't see any

574
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: of them. And then Kevin, I go to that moment,

575
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 4: was this maybe two years ago whatever press conference that

576
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: was with Chris Ballard where we were really on him

577
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 4: about why did it take benching Anthony for you all

578
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: to finally get through to him, because you know, that's

579
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: a drastic measure. When you bench QB one, everyone in

580
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 4: the NFL hears about that. That's a stain on your

581
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: resume that is hard to get off. And the response

582
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: from Chris Ballad at the time was comparing Anthony to

583
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: a child not cleaning his room. Well, you got kids, James,

584
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: You know I ain't got no kids, thank god, but hope, Well,

585
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: you know I ain't always been the greatest father. So

586
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: anybody out there claiming that I'm the daddy efect, don't

587
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 4: expect nothing on Father's Day or you know, or except

588
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: me to show up. But nevertheless, for Anthony, I thought

589
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: that was an egregious admittance of why it hasn't worked.

590
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: The dude you drafted to be the face of your franchise.

591
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: You're asking him to do something and you say, well, James,

592
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 4: like having kids who don't clean their rooms, sometimes they

593
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: just don't do it. And you let him keep playing

594
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 4: until he tapped out of a game, and then you

595
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: all had to kind of basically save face and say, well,

596
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: you know what, he's got to sit down.

597
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Now, what do you will is chiming in here asking

598
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: us how much involvement do you think Jim Mersey had

599
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: in the selection of Anthony Richardson.

600
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 4: I think he had a big involvement.

601
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: And this is why do you think he forced the

602
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: pick on Chris Biot?

603
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 4: And change second, I think he forced the quarterback pick

604
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 4: on him. I really do think that, because do you

605
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: remember right after they drafted Anthony, I forgot who asked

606
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: Jim Irsay and rest in peace? I love his candor

607
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: for better or worse. He told us, well, if Anthony

608
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 4: wasn't therefore we were gonna take Will Levis, who didn't

609
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 4: go into the second round. So I think the pick

610
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: was always going to be quarterback. And at that point,

611
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 4: if you're not gonna move up, if you're not gonna

612
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: have the perhaps agency to do so, to release some

613
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: draft capital and go get the guy you maybe wanted

614
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: more than Anthony, and you were kind of stuck with

615
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 4: picking them anyway, because that's the thing. They didn't really

616
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: have a choice to pick any other player at that

617
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 4: point because Jim Irsay was ready to find a permanent solution.

618
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, hindsight can be very twenty twenty, but I

619
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: literally go back to twenty twenty and think that should

620
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: have been the year that you moved on and tried

621
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: to find the long term solution. To me, the band

622
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: aid quarterback approach that Chris Power took was just not

623
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: the wisest for the long term future of the franchise.

624
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: You were just kicking the can down the road. I

625
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: think Ers was probably done with doing the band aid thing.

626
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, there is a part of me that thinks

627
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a quick letting off the

628
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: hook of the GM and the head coach just to

629
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden sit there and say, oh, yeah,

630
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, the pick was forced upon him, blah blah blah.

631
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: You know again, once you make the selection, you then

632
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, played him and gave him the captaincy right away.

633
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Which to your point, James, how did you not see

634
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of the red flags early on to

635
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: where you know, maybe you say, you know what, We're

636
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: obviously gonna eventually play the guy, but maybe it's best

637
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: that we do sit him for X amount of games,

638
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, let him learn a little bit more, show

639
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: him what it's like to be a starting quarterback in

640
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: this league, and not all of a sudden just kind

641
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: of thrust him into that situation. Best case scenario, you

642
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: think the trade package in return is.

643
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: What best case scenario E site according my sources, when

644
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 4: he's using both eyes is twenty twenty. I think a

645
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 4: round pick is the best you could probably get for Anthony,

646
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of that has to do

647
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 4: with where Trey Lance kind of ended up. They got

648
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: a fourth round pick. He was a twenty twenty one

649
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: third round pick, not third pick, third overall pick, and

650
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 4: when the forty nine has traded him to the Dallas Cowboys,

651
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: another chaotic owner, it was a fourth round pick. And

652
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: then I think for anybody moving forward, it's hard to

653
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: kind of justify getting trade value that high on a

654
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: guy like Anthony who's injury prone. There's inaccuracy issues, and

655
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: then to a degree you have to question still, I think,

656
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: if from Afar, what kind of leader are you?

657
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: So?

658
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: I think best case scenario KB, you're getting a Day three,

659
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 4: fifth round pick. I wouldn't even bet on that, though,

660
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: honestly I'd probably go a little bit lower.

661
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, again, from a cap situation, we've talked

662
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: about it, the cap pit ten point eight million, the

663
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: opposing team would would take on on their books, it's

664
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: about five million for each right.

665
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Basically, if he gets traded, you say, flit it

666
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: down the middle, so five point three or whatever it is.

667
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: You know, one thought I have had in regards to

668
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and this is a little bit of

669
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: the what if game, Like you would call Tyler Warren,

670
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, a very good player, right yes, had a

671
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: really nice rookie season. You would say Jonathan Taylor's the

672
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: year last year was the best he's had in a

673
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: couple of years, right, yes. I am curious, like what

674
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five could have looked like for Richardson with

675
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: that he never had, Tyler Warren he never had. I

676
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: would say, a truly healthy Jonathan Taylor next to him?

677
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Could a healthy offseason for him year three? And Shane

678
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Sackins offense had he been healthy, which obviously is one

679
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: of the biggest questions with him, would twenty twenty five

680
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: have looked a little bit more promising for him? And

681
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: now where where would we be with all of this? Yeah,

682
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's a hypothetical. Maybe it's more of

683
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: a July twelfth topic, frankly, but that is another thought

684
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: that I had yesterday of like, you know, right now,

685
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: we're pretty much in the camp of obviously debating Daniel

686
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: Jones where he's at from the torny a chilles all

687
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: of that, But what would a Tyler Warren. I mean,

688
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: you could make the argument tight end was the worst

689
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: position next to Richardson through his first couple of seasons. Yeah,

690
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: what could that have done to his consistency, his methodical nature,

691
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: which I think he struggled with at quarterback, and then

692
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: obviously having Jonathan Taylor, you know, should have won the

693
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: league rushing title. Frankly, what would that have done for

694
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: him as well?

695
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 4: I think that's a good debate to have. And ultimately, Kevin,

696
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 4: it just felt like and I was going back and

697
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 4: reading some of my old stuff, and I'm sure some

698
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 4: of the listeners did as well. I think we were

699
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 4: all kind of like, Daniel Jones has a pretty lengthy

700
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: injury history. Anthony will get another chance to play meaningful

701
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: snaps last season, and we weren't saying he's gonna come

702
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: back and win the starting job. But yeah, if you

703
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: ask me, if Dale was gonna play seventeen games, I

704
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: was gonna take the under immediately. And he did play

705
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 4: less than that, but when your opportunity arose, you for

706
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 4: the worst luck ever weren't available. And I think that

707
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 4: was the last shot at any type of redemption here, Kevin.

708
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying he would have supplanted Daniel Jones,

709
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 4: but I think his overall prove of rating would have

710
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: been a lot different had he been available to perhaps

711
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 4: win a game or two down the stretch and helped

712
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: to get into the playoffs. Because that's the part where

713
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 4: I mean. I asked him that at the end of

714
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: the season, do you feel like you missed out an opportunity?

715
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 4: And of course he's like, well, you know, God as

716
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: a plan, I'm not gonna be worried about things I

717
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: can't control. But boy, to sustain an injury that severe

718
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 4: and not even be on the playing field when it happened,

719
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: and you missed your chance to be on the playing

720
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 4: field because of it, that is hard to swallow, man.

721
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 4: And it just adds to the Anthony Richardson experience, which

722
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 4: has been a roller coaster that, unfortunately for him and

723
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 4: the team, has been a lot more down than up.

724
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 4: And unlike the team which can quickly pivot to another player,

725
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: Anthony is now asking and perhaps looking around the league like, hey,

726
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: can somebody come get me? And they have to watch

727
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: you back.

728
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Crowd filling up here at the combine, Fernanda Mendoza gonna

00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: chat with the media here in about ten minutes, Mark

00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: dyked and how is my strip tease settled in for you?

731
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,359

Speaker 3: sweats off still mm hmm.

733

Speaker 1: Yeah, you didn't think that's how this Friday was gonna say?

734
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: You might have had a little competition, you know, Kevin

735
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 4: was a celebrity here to one of the commercial breaks.

736
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: I know, I know someone that was taking and all that.

737
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah we did. Yeah you saw our friends here

738
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: at the table next to us at Fox thirty two Chicago,

00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: Cassie Carlson. Yeah she she turned around her the break.

Speaker 1: and put it out on her socials there made it

749
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,120

774
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: out of my mouth. I thought that actually sound a

775
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: decent There.

776
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 3: We are currently seventy saying yes, seventy nine percent say

777
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: yes they want the Colts trade Anthony Richardson, twenty one

778
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: percent say no.

779
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: Eighty twenty Yeah, I feel like that that sounds about right.

780
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: I am curious, James, isn't it a bad quarterback draft class?

781
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 6: Like?

782
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: Would that help the cause for the Colts at all?

783
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: With Anthony Richardson?

784
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: I have talked to a few of our national reporters

785
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 4: about that, and some of our draft gurules. They do

786
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 4: think because of the suppress market, perhaps the team would

787
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 4: be like, you know what we'd rather in essence, like,

788
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 4: if we're giving up a sixth round pick, let's make

789
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 4: our sixth round pick quarterback Anthony Richardson. He's only twenty

790
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: three during turn twenty four until May, versus drafting a

791
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: college quarterback who doesn't have any NFL experience. So from

792
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: that perspective, I actually think that that could help him

793
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: be relocated to a different franchise. So which one would

794
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 4: you lean in that scenario, Kevin? Would you lean towards

795
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 4: Anthony Young? Still NFL experience, though flawed clearly over perhaps

796
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 4: I don't know. Drew Aller from Penn State.

797
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, we have the question the

798
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: other day. I asked you online, like, you know, if

799
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson's there forty seven, would you take him? And

800
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think you're in a position really as

801
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: a franchise to even entertain the thought. Now, As I said,

802
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: if the regime had changed, then all bets are off. Yeah,

803
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: to your point. There, So again quarterbacks about ready to

804
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: chat with the media. He here upcoming, Field Gates gonna

805

00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: up at eight thirty. Chris caall he's been a very

807
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: busy man for visit Indy. He calls his place home

808
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: and sounds like maybe the draft could be on the

809
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: wish list here on the horizon. We will chat about

810
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: that with him. Have you, uh, you ran into anybody

811
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: of note here? I was walking back to my car

812
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: yesterday and all of a sudden, I'm like, gosh, this

813
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: dude is talking so loud on the sidewalk, and it

814
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: was Drew Rosenhaus downtown Indianapolis. You come across anybody of like,

815
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I forgot that person would be here this week.

816
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 4: John Fox used to be on the staff for the.

817
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: Colts beloved coach of Mark Dyton.

818
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I went to yard House, I believe, Wednesday

819
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 4: afternoon over under.

820
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: Sixty two TVs inside of the Yardhouse.

821
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I might take the under, but it's a good

822
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 4: place to catch a game, I'll say that. So I'm

823
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: sitting at the bar and I'm hearing this older guy

824
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 4: tells stories, and I'm like, man, this guy has a

825
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 4: lot of stories. And again, I didn't actively cover John

826
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 4: all that much when I first joined the Beat, but

827
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 4: when I turned my head, I'm a John Fox. And

828
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 4: he's sitting there telling all these stories about how the

829
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 4: NFL used to be and things like that. And you know,

830
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 4: he's got quite the resume. He took two teams to

831
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, unfortunately didn't win either of those games,

832
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: but I think he is still very well respected around

833
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: the league. So yeah, that was funny. I saw my dad.

834
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: Dad.

835
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 4: He's, oh, Man, like, you're, you know, rolling with the

836
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: big wigs, And I was like, I don't think the

837
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 4: budget was, you know, the same for me as it

838
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 4: was with John Fox. I don't think he cares too

839
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 4: much about getting the receipt, making sure you expense the

840
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: right meal and things like that.

841
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: So he is, yeah, senior analyst. Right now, we're chatting

842
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: with our friend here, Cassie from Fox. By the way,

843
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: he's with the Bills. Just to clear that up, Bill's

844
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: senior analyst, John Fox, Fox thirty two Chicago. She said

845
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: she was over at Saint Elmo last night and guess

846
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: who got a sandy ovation when he walked through that

847
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: restaurant over there.

848
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 4: We know who that is, Freanando Mendoza.

849
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: Baby, he is truly a rock star.

850
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: He is, and you know what's crazy. Her response was, well,

851
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 4: why are they so excited? And she didn't mean it

852
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 4: in a rude way, but it's like you don't.

853
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: Get it, Yeah, you don't get it.

Speaker 3: We rising the roof?

860
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 7: The ceiling is the roof. I was still started from

861
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 7: the bottom that we're here. Yeah, I did, Mark, I

862
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 7: tried to.

863
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,160

Speaker 4: We weren't sitting here in Indianapolis going on, why are they

Speaker 4: so excited? Hey, you could do something success baby. Yeah,

869
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,520

870
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: as we he did knocking off Ohio State. That's what

871
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 4: they did ast hoisting up the national championship trophy. So

872
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,400

894
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,880

895
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 4: before the door I had been going through was being

932
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 9: The great state of Indiana. I'm biased, perhaps because we've

933
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 9: been doing it here for a long time, but if

934
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 9: anybody ever asked me and gave me the choice, there's

935
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 9: no way I would.

936
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 8: Ever moved this event from this awesome, awesome city.

937
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 4: He sounds very unbiased.

938
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: There, unbelieve we build a statue right outside you know,

939
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: Peyton Fernanda Minoza Field, Yate should be the statues outside

940
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: Lugoso State Field. You don't know this, but you have

941
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: something in common with my wife. I don't know if

942
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: i've ever you know, started off an interview, oh boy

943
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: with the guests, is that you both have issues in

944
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: securing your air pods? Is that correct?

945
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

946
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 8: But I you know what though, I'm in the green

947
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 8: right now.

948
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 9: So I had a new Year's resolution this year, which

949
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 9: is to stop losing these freaking figs. And one of

950
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 9: my you know, my many challenges and struggles in life.

951
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 9: I've got two young children as well, so they constantly

952
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 9: grab the air POD's case and you know, they just

953
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 9: they take them around with them. They don't actually use them,

954
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 9: but they think the case is a fun thing to

955
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 9: put into their little basket of trinkets. That I feel

956
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 9: like develops every so often, and I just I am

957
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 9: just a plus losing them. But I lost a pair,

958
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 9: and I know this because I posted on social media

959
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 9: on February seventeenth that was my first of twenty twenty six.

960
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 5: By February nineteenth, I.

961
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 9: Waved a white flag, I'm not a wired headphones guy.

962
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 9: And I went and I bought a new pair. And

963
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 9: then and I arrived in Indianapolis. I was unpacking my

964
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 9: bag here two days ago, and the pair of jeans

965
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 9: that I apparently last bore on February seventeenth was in

966
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 9: my bag, and so were my AirPods.

967
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 5: So I'm now at two pairs.

968
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: It's huge, unbelievable. That is I found my wife's air

969
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: pods before in the dryer. That's that's what we have

970
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: resorted to in the bow and household. You can't teach

971
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: your discipline at all. Okay, let's transition. Speaking of discipline, obviously,

972
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: the news yesterday here from a local standpoint, is the

973
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: trade request from Anthony Richardson. If I set maybe the

974
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: over under at a I don't know, fourth and a

975
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: half round pick, if that can even be a thing,

976
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: would you say over or under for trade compensation for Anthony.

977
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 5: Richardson, who I like that I'm gonna go.

978
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 8: So I would over be like closer to seven and

979
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 8: under would be close.

980
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go. I would say, I think

981
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 5: I'll go slightly over.

982
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 9: This is you know, I don't want this to come

983
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 9: across as is un time to Anthony, but in some

984
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 9: ways this may end up being a little bit more

985
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 9: of like a salary unloading than it is recouping.

986
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 5: Value on an asset.

987
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 9: And this is you know, the Colts were competing last year,

988
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 9: they were obviously until injuries derailed everything. This this is

989
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 9: a team that we thought could be a real challenger

990
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 9: in the AFC. So last year when you know they're

991
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 9: going through games and Antony is is really a non

992
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 9: factor at all, and then he has the unusual health

993
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 9: situation where he's back at the end of the season

994
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 9: and getting back at the end of the season and

995
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 9: the team's quarterback situation is befort a line and unprecedented. Uh,

996
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 9: he's still not really it doesn't sound like much of

997
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 9: a consideration. The messaging, at least the Bay I interpreted.

998
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 9: I think some people are on the NFL interpreted it's

999
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 9: just like he's just not good enough to be our

1000
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 9: starting quarterback. So I think it would have to be

1001
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 9: a team that is looking for something that has worked recently,

1002
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 9: including for the Colts, which is a you know, second, third,

1003
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 9: or fourth act quarterback.

1004
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 5: In Anthony's case, it will be a second act. Right.

1005
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 9: He has only played for Indianapolis to this point, and

1006
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 9: they're saying he was good enough to go forth overall,

1007
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 9: which may have been rich in a lot of team's eyes,

1008
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 9: but it wasn't like the Colts took him three rounds

1009
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 9: ahead of where he was going to go. He was

1010
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 9: going to go somewhere in the first round. Somebody who

1011
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 9: studied Anthony coming out of Florida is going to take

1012
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 9: a chance on the unique skills that he does bring

1013
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 9: to the table, albeit one that has some limitations to it.

1014
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 9: But I think it's I think it's somewhere in the

1015
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 9: late day three range would make sense to me. I

1016
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 9: know that they kill to swallow for Chris Ballard and

1017
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 9: the entire organization because they drafted in fourth overall, but

1018
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 9: you know, there's still real money involved in you know,

1019
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 9: last I checked, were what ten days away from the

1020
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 9: beginning of the legal negotiating window, and the Colts have

1021
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 9: two of the biggest free agents in the entire.

1022
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 5: League, and I think one of them is probably.

1023
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 9: Bound for the tag and you don't want to risk

1024
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 9: losing the other one.

1025
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 5: So every dollar does count right now.

1026
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 4: One quick follow up on Anthony, and Thanksfield Yates of

1027
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 4: ESPN for joining the payofstickers highline here on one seven

1028
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 4: pile of the fan. But Field, if you were a GM,

1029
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 4: you put the hat on you're making the decisions. Would

1030
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 4: you be more willing to take a perhaps one year

1031
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 4: flyer for a sixth round pick, let's call it on

1032
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson. Would you use that six round pick to

1033
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 4: draft a young quarterback if you're trying to add some

1034
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 4: juice to your quarterback room.

1035
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 9: So I would probably take the swing on Anthony because

1036
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 9: even if he is imperfect, you know, like the guys

1037
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 9: that are gonna go in the sixth round this year

1038
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 9: amongst the quarterback prospects, have nowhere close to the skill

1039
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 9: set of what Anthony brings to the table, you know,

1040
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 9: and I know that, hey, you know, it's a perfect no. Obviously,

1041
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 9: not because there's a reason why we're having this conversation.

1042
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 9: But Anthony is obviously it's a uniquely talented guy. I

1043
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 9: am in favor speaking generally of teams using Day three

1044
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 9: picks on veteran players, even not that Anthony's played a

1045
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 9: ton of ball, but we have a general sense of

1046
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 9: what he is until the day I retire from this business.

1047
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 5: I think his throw in Week one of the twenty

1048
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 5: twenty four.

1049
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 9: Season, Who's one of the single greatest throws that I've

1050
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 9: ever witnessed.

1051
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 4: I know it sounds both both.

1052
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was, it was.

1053
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 9: It was a beautiful thing, right, So I think I

1054
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 9: would rather go down that route if I were a team.

1055
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 8: So I think there'll be I think there will be

1056
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 8: a market.

1057
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 9: It just it's a little complicated, and uh, it's it's

1058
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 9: not it's not easy for the team to admit if

1059
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 9: we're having error and moving on. But it also isn't

1060
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 9: easy to find a deal given some of the money involved.

1061
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 9: And I think there are teams that are saying at

1062
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 9: this point, we may have to spin the care ofselves first,

1063
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 9: with other quarterbacks that might we might prioritize as potential

1064
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 9: starting options before we get to Anthony as a likely

1065
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 9: developmental option.

1066
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: That's a voice of failiyates for ESPN, and he's with

1067
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: us here on the Payless Liquors Hotline as we were

1068
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: chatting live from the NFL Combine. Okay, let's switch gears

1069
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: to what you said about the two free agents for

1070
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: the Colts, certainly two of the higher ones in the league.

1071
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: In regards to Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce, do you

1072
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: have any concern that either could hit the open mark

1073
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: when things get real here, like you said in about

1074
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: ten days.

1075
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 9: Absolutely, yeah, I mean absolutely, and it's it's I mean, obviously,

1076
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 9: if Daniel were healthy, you were not coming off of

1077
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 9: an achilles tear, there's a zero percent chance I think

1078
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 9: we're talking about anything other than Daniel Jones and the

1079
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 9: Colts maybe already having a new deal in place. I mean,

1080
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 9: the season goes down differently and there's probably you know,

1081
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 9: finishes better. A lot of things are different, right, But

1082
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 9: you know, if the Colts and because he's injured, Daniel

1083
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 9: will be would be a slightly complicated quarterback free agent

1084
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 9: if he does hit the open market, but he would

1085
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 9: have suitors for sure.

1086
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 5: I just think given positional.

1087
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 9: Value, you probably are more prone to the safe play

1088
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 9: is to just had your quarterback.

1089
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 5: If you don't have a deal for either of those.

1090
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 8: Two players in place Alex PIERSO.

1091
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 5: I don't think this is news to you guys.

1092
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 9: You know, if we were doing a radio show that

1093
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 9: was emanating across every NFL market, people might not totally

1094
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 9: recognize this yet.

1095
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 5: But you know, a to be twenty six.

1096
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 9: Year old wide receiver going back to back seasons has

1097
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 9: had over twenty one yards per catch, coming off by

1098
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 9: far his best year of his career, playing a position

1099
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 9: that makes a ton of money. You know, if I

1100
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 9: think I've been saying, I think the number for Alex Pierce,

1101
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 9: you go four years, just as a sort of an

1102
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 9: easy number to that that's a fairly standard number for

1103
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 9: free agent contracts. I think the floor is one hundred

1104
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 9: million dollars over a four year deal for Alex Pierce.

1105
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 9: And if the Colts can't get there, if they can't,

1106
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 9: if Alex is gathering intel or was if his representation

1107
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 9: this week is gathering intel, and next week during the

1108
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 9: legal negotiating window and hearing hey, don't don't stop at

1109
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 9: one hundred because we might have.

1110
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 5: One hundred and five or one hundred and eight, whatever it.

1111
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 9: Is available, then you know he's going to have a

1112
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 9: real shot to be one of them about the highest

1113
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 9: paid free agents on the open market. He is, I think,

1114
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 9: along with Tyler Linderbaum, in a very unique category. Linden

1115
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 9: Bomb's a more accomplished player, to be clear, but two eyes

1116
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 9: who are true blue free agents in the open market,

1117
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 9: in part because of circumstances that are due for I

1118
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 9: think both potentially twenty you know, I think easily twenty

1119
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 9: plus million dollars per year for Alex and Linderbaum could

1120
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 9: be the highest paid center in NFL history by next week.

1121
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 9: So it's a tricky one for the cult. It's a

1122
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 9: good thing to have good players. But you know, I

1123
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 9: think if I were the am Andich I'm sure they're

1124
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 9: in this vote is I'd be extremely motivated to get

1125
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 9: one of these two deals rapped if you could before

1126
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 9: that tag window closes.

1127
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 4: Piil will transition again to the NFL Draft combine and

1128
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 4: the players actually here, not more or less the chatter

1129
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 4: around the combine. I know a lot of deals and

1130
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 4: hands agreements get done here. But Frana Mendoza, I believe

1131
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 4: he's peaking to the media right now, expendsed to be

1132
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 4: the number one pick in the draft for the Las

1133
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 4: Vegas Raiders. Why do you think he positioned himself to

1134
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 4: be the number one pick after the year he had.

1135
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 4: Because if you told me coming into the last Calls

1136
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 4: football season he'd be a number one pick, I probably

1137
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 4: look at you a little sideways.

1138
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 5: You know what I was.

1139
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 9: I was a Fernando guy coming into this last season.

1140
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 4: I will take a victory leaf, build a statue.

1141
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, hold on now, hold on now.

1142
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 9: I'm not going to sit here and tell you I

1143
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 9: had number one overall pick in the draft. But I

1144
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 9: had a very close friend in the scouting world who

1145
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 9: was in Bloomington this past year for their pro day,

1146
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 9: meaning like the spring of twenty twenty five, and he said, Hey,

1147
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 9: I'm just telling you got to you gotta watch this

1148
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 9: kid they picked up from cal because he freaking slings

1149
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 9: it and he uh and you know, weeks later or sorry,

1150
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 9: months later, when the season began and Fernando starts to play, well,

1151
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 9: it's like, oh my god, like this guy needs to

1152
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 9: be I told him, I said, you need to go ask.

1153
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 5: For a raise. What you need to do because you

1154
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:53,959
Speaker 5: were on it.

1155
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 9: Man, and Fernando just, I don't know, just an easy,

1156
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 9: easy evaluation decision this year, guys, I don't know that

1157
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 9: and maybe this sounds a little bit prisoner of the moment.

1158
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 9: This might be the easiest number one pick in a decade.

1159
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 9: You know, I like, think about even Andrew luck I

1160
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 9: guess Andrew luck would be well, you know even that

1161
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 9: Andrew Luckier. You guys can recall this like there were

1162
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 9: some people that thought, like, do you have to have

1163
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 9: the RG three conversation?

1164
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 5: You want the hyproenthrophy that year?

1165
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 9: Right, the Trevor Lawrence here, And perhaps these people were

1166
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 9: just looking for attention, but there were some Zach Wilson

1167
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 9: optimists right in part because of the quarterback class that

1168
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 9: Fernando's in. There's there's no discussion whatsoever about anybody other

1169
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 9: than Fernando Mendoza. So he had an incredible season. I'm

1170
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 9: sure right now he is winning over those who are

1171
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 9: covering him at the press conference out that you guys

1172
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 9: don't know this, but he's an excellent young Man's made of.

1173
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 5: The right stuff.

1174
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 9: He has got a challenge ahead of him with the Raiders,

1175
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 9: is that organization can change its ways and provide some

1176
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 9: patience for the first time in a while. I think

1177
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 9: things are going to be looking up sooner rather than later.

1178
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 9: In Las Vegas.

1179
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: He is a man that has got great air pods

1180
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: luck right now, he's got great hair, and he's got

1181
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: great things to say about the city of Indianapolis. So

1182
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: we love him for all of that. Field Yates always

1183
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: enjoy our chats, enjoy the rest of your stay in Indy,

1184
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: and we'll certainly be watching and listening over on ESPN

1185
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: to Max.

1186
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 5: I need picks for next year early. I'm looking to

1187
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:30,439
Speaker 5: get ahead of the curb.

1188
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: He had a nice run to and last year, but

1189
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: we'll have to call him out of retirement. I'll off

1190
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers because field Yates said, did he have.

1191
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 8: A HOOFS tournament pick? Like tough one last night for Purdue?

1192
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 9: Obviously, but can we get a like do we have

1193
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 9: a final pick for like a final forecast or no?

1194
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: That is a great, great question. We might have to

1195
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,919
Speaker 1: dig out some I don't know what helmets we could

1196
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: do for basketball, but he'll find Cinderella and he will

1197
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: let us know.

1198
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 9: Hey, that Cinderella plays. It's basketball in Oxford, Ohio, which

1199
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 9: I believe is where Miami, Ohio.

1200
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 5: Is twenty eight.

1201
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 9: No, baby, I think it's one of the most underdiscussed

1202
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 9: stories in sports.

1203
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 5: But that's neither here nor there.

1204
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: They're playing again tonight. A lot of Indiana flavor on

1205
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: that roster. Feel thank you, my man. See you guys,

1206
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: that's a great Field Yates right there on the Payless.

1207
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 4: Liquoric MAXI fall and getting this shout out, baby, I.

1208
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: Appreciate that from Field. Yes, good dude, good dude right there.

1209
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm serious. Him and Maddie bow And both

1210
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: have some air pod issues there from a security.

1211
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, didn't you misplace a pair of

1212
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 4: air pods?

1213
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: I she is rubbed off of me.

1214
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just making sure we're hold everybody account of

1215
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 4: my AirPods. I've had these for a few years. I

1216
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 4: just plugged them in. They still been here. I haven't

1217
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 4: lost them yet.

1218
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: Now, Fornana Mendoza belove right absolutely. You know. We we

1219
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: shared the story from Cassie at the table next to us,

1220
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: who said that, you know, in Saint Elmo last night.

1221
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: Fernana Mendoza with a rousing standing ovation from the white

1222
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: collar crowd in there. Now, I wasn't over in the

1223
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: podium session just at the start, but I'm seeing this

1224
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: quote here on social media. If there's any way is

1225
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: there anything for Nando Mendoza could say that could knock

1226
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: him off the pedestal he is on in this state

1227
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: of Indiana right now.

1228
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 4: Is there anything he could say? Did he haste indy

1229
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 4: five hundred?

1230
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: For Nando Mendoza's quote a few minutes ago, Tom Brady

1231
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: is the greatest quarterback of all time by a wide margin.

1232
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 4: Can I agree with him? Or will you come on?

1233
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: Michael oh Man? Yeah, boy, if you say that that

1234
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: statue might that you might come to life and all of.

1235
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 4: A sudden knock on that just saying, you know, they

1236
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 4: let me in now, they try to keep me out earlier,

1237
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 4: you know, with some of those doors I was yanking on.

1238
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,439
Speaker 4: But I mean seven is more than two.

1239
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: Brady the best winner, Manning, the best quarterback.

1240
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 4: Brady for both.

1241
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry at at Romeoville Kid on Twitter where you

1242
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: can find James Boyd there, Fernanda Mendoza Man not as

1243
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: polished in front of the mike here as he's speaking

1244
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: to his new boss.

1245
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 4: That is a very good point. I mean, Jeff Rickert,

1246
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're listening, but I've said some

1247
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 4: very nice seas on these air ways about you, you know,

1248
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 4: and I don't know if I'm you know, underneath my brother,

1249
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, this guy here. But I think a

1250
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 4: lot of times we all kind of stroke the ego

1251
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 4: over our bosses to get a little more coin, a

1252
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 4: little more status in stature. So I think he's smart

1253
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 4: for doing that. But honestly, I think he believes it.

1254
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 4: Have you ever have he talked about Tom Brady ahead

1255
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 4: of the Big ten Championship game?

1256
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I believe, Oh yeah, yeah, He's always been very, very high.

1257
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry, but I love Peyton Manning, but that

1258
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 4: last ring, brother m he wasn't pay Manning that I remember.

1259
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: Some scorching hot takes from James Lloyd.

1260
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,959
Speaker 4: He you know, you know, ain't a scorching hot take?

1261
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 4: Seven is more than two. I'm sorry on.

1262
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: This Friday, and we'll continue to get into the Anthony

1263
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Richardson trade request conversation. Can we listed out five colts

1264
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: to end the show yesterday, ranking them in order most

1265
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: to least likely to return? That would be Daniel Jones,

1266
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, how about Michael Pittman Junior? And we'll throw

1267
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: a couple of defenders, Zire Franklin, Zia Franklin and Nick Cross.

1268
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Reminder we've got our golf outing coming up here at

1276
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: after the draft?

1277
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 6: James?

1278
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Does that sound right?

1279
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 4: Yes, so we will be hopefully a little more well

1280
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 4: rested going into that than perhaps the last day of

1281
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 4: the draft.

1282
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit a morning check down mark the

1283
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: Moiling Chetown.

1284
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: Drop to you by the Barbersol Horizon League Basketball Champion Chips,

1285

01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Slash you.

1288
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Indeed, this text here from a member of the Convention

1289
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Center Lucas Soil security team. Let James Boyd know I

1290
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: might have to make a few calls to my security

1291
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: people and have him escored it out. That almost happened

1292
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: at the start of the show today. I heard James

1293
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Boyd at the yell do you know who I am? Okay,

1294
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: at six point fifty five to get in the building.

1295
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 4: I will say I avoided the Jake Query meltdown, and

1296
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 4: I avoided the Jeff rickard. I forgot my badge at

1297
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 4: home or left in my wife's car. Don't have a

1298
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: wife's car to leave it in, so I kept in

1299
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 4: a backpack. And yeah, I was just making sure they

1300
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 4: let me know. You know, let you boy and I've

1301
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 4: been here all week.

1302
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Mark, if I remember, tell him Rick, if I remember correctly, Mark,

1303
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Jake actually pulled out a LAP two hundred call from

1304
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: ninty five hundred to try to let them know who

1305
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 1: he was a few years ago. And then I saw

1306
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: James pull out a copy of the New York Times.

1307
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, try to point to the Rick Carlisle okay, audio, okay,

1308
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: and that. So it's kind of interesting how the egos

1309
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: have evolved here on the old morning Watch think together, well,

1310
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: said NFL Combine. Here we are on this Friday morning

1311
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: for Nana Mendoza, just chatto with the media. Defensive backs

1312
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: will work out late this afternoon. Local Flavor Dylan Theneman,

1313
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the Westfield Products supposed to put up some very impressive

1314
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: numbers there. Started his career Purdue and then transferred to Oregon,

1315
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: then of course to Angel Ponds. Don't believe he's running

1316
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the forty. I think a lot of the you guys

1317
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: will probably save some of their extensive workouts for their

1318
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: pro day coming up in early April. James, let's start

1319
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 1: with some hoops from last night over at gamebridge Field House.

1320
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: I guess we did see the return of Obi Topping.

1321
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Eight minutes for Obi. It sounds like he'll be on

1322
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: a minute's restriction here for the rest of the season.

1323
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Not much to take away other than, boy, the Charlotte

1324
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Hornets can really shoot the basketball.

1325
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 4: No training. They give you a trampoline like the guy

1326
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 4: to see if the game is going off the Pacers

1327
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 4: power pack. Could you go through the legs like Obie Topping?

1328
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: I'd be a methodist. How good is the insurance for months?

1329
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 4: I want to be able to do that once in

1330
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 4: my life.

1331
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The kid that that needs to

1332
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: be the dunk contest is the kid from Michigan State

1333
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Coden Car. He is on that is the smoothest flyer

1334
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: in the air. He's smoother than Obi topping in the air. Yeah.

1335
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and honestly I stand by that. I look at

1336
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 4: what that Michigan State team does. Boy, when they get

1337
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 4: in transition, they are a monster, and they're very balanced

1338
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 4: and well coached. So I'm tough on last night for

1339
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 4: Purdue had a shot there at dan Frem Braden Smith.

1340
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 4: But if you look at their losses, Kevin, they're losing

1341
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 4: to what I would believe to be great teams outside

1342
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 4: of IU and Bloomington, and then for the most part,

1343
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 4: that to me tells me that Purdue is just a

1344
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 4: good team, not a great team, but a good team.

1345
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Well, they got to string together more defensive stops. I mean,

1346
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: they did so much right last night. They outreadbound in

1347
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Michigan State. They only had a single digit number and turnovers.

1348
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: They shot the basketball really well. Offensively, there's nothing to

1349
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: question really about Purdue. It is defensively, you've got to

1350
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: string together a few more stops. And weirdly now they've

1351
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: lost four at home this season, So you want to

1352
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: be internal optimists. I guess they play better away from

1353
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: Mackie And obviously to get three hundred yards from this

1354
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: building in early April, you're enough to do that here

1355
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: coming up, So for Purdue in Indiana, it'll be Sunday

1356
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: afternoon matchups. Now this weekend, Indiana we'll get their shot

1357
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: at Michigan State inside of Assembly Hall. Joe Lonardi's got

1358
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Indiana as his last team in the field as of

1359
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: last night. So it is a monumental one for Darren

1360
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Devreeson company. For Perdue, they will travel to Ohio State

1361
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: couple of road games before Senior Day for those illustrious

1362
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: seniors coming up a week from Saturday against Wisconsin. We

1363
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: got sat Pete coming up this weekend the first IndyCar

1364
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: race of the year, that is noon on Big Fox.

1365
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: Storylines abound for the IndyCar season. Can Alex Plow's dominance continue?

1366
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Will Power moving over to team and Dretty? And how

1367
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,479
Speaker 1: does Penske respond David Malucas taking the will Power seat?

1368
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: It was a horrific season for Team Penske on and

1369
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: off the track. How do they respond from that very

1370
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: busy month of March? Here for the saint for the

1371
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: IndyCar season here so again noon on Sunday, I want

1372
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: to say cars in the track later this afternoon, one

1373
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: thirty today. I believe their first practice all right up

1374
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: coming on the other side, we'll get more into the

1375
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 1: trade request from Anthony Richardson Senior, some of the dominoes

1376
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: off of that. An update on our poll Mark tweeted

1377
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: out this morning. Do you want to see the Colts

1378
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Richardson, Yes or no? But on the immediacy

1379
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 1: of the other side. He is the VP of visit Indy.

1380
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: He is a busy man. Every time the combine rolls in,

01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: it Friday, but it is also supposed to be a

1391
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: glorious day here for late February in the great city

1392
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis. Don't take my words, take Field Yates's words.

1393
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: How about Field Yates touching on a little bit of everything.

1394
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna say?

1395
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: He gave Max Bowing a shout out.

1396
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 4: He was giving us a run for our money, his

1397
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 4: co host KP because he covered all the bases.

1398
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: There, and I made it very clear that I just

1399
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: said similarities between him and my wife. I'm not showing

1400
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: my wife a picture of phield Yates. We gotta draw

1401
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the line somewhere, right. You can't. I mean you cannot

1402
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: be doing that there, Matty bow And Yeah, that would

1403
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: not I don't think that would end well for me.

1404
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 4: Who are you saying a while, like, oh, he's cute.

1405
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 4: Which player was this? Or it was something you were

1406
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 4: saying you were watching some show?

1407
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Or yeah, yeah, who was she talking about? Man, if

1408
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: you're listening to them, I mean there's no way you're looking.

1409
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: But if you're listening, chime in on that, Chris call,

1410
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,959
Speaker 1: visit Indy's supposed to be joining us here live at

1411
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: the NFL combine James. Our updated poll here. Very simple

1412
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: answer or a very simple question, I should say from

1413
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Mark Dyden right here? Do you want the Colts to

1414
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Richardson? Yes or no? We're approaching about four

1415
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: hundred votes here. Seventy six percent say yes.

1416
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 4: That makes the most sense to me because in my mind,

1417
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 4: there is a very very very very very tiny chance

1418
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 4: did I say very tiny chance to start again here

1419
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 4: in Indianapolis and just let's just go off context clues

1420
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 4: KB when we talked to Chris Ballard and Shane Stikeen,

1421
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 4: A two quarterbacks stay rave about the most are Dale

1422
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 4: Jones and Riley Leonard. When we bring up Anthony, all

1423
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 4: we've heard the last few times he talked to them

1424
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 4: is we hope his eye gets better and he sounds

1425
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 4: himself like a pro. Nothing about his actual playing ability.

1426
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: Can I play Devil's advocate?

1427
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 4: Feel free?

1428
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,839
Speaker 1: The Colts get to August, they see Daniel Jones, they go, Okay,

1429
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: if we start him the first month of the year,

1430
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: is gonna look like fibula Daniel Jones. Oh, it's gonna

1431
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: be a statue now by mid October, we feel like

1432
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: he can move a little bit, all right, Okay, for

1433
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: the first four or five games, we don't think he

1434
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: can move. Would you not want to see Anthony Richardson

1435
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: for the first four or five games of next season?

1436
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,799
Speaker 4: I would, But I don't think they would. I think

1437
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 4: there has been.

1438
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Because he's a distraction, because he's not good. Because they

1439
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: love Anthony, Riightley Leonard why because he costs ten million.

1440
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 4: What I do think the money would be a factor,

1441
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 4: but also think that in their minds they want someone

1442
01:09:56,360 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 4: who can be on schedule. And to Roley's credit in

1443
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 4: the game times and opportunities he got last year, I

1444
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 4: thought that he did show some ability to be on

1445
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 4: schedule to make NFL throws. And because of that, Like

1446
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 4: if you had told me Riley Leonard last year got

1447
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 4: an opportunity and just completely stunk it up, then I'd

1448
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,919
Speaker 4: be like, well, you know, it's a crapshoot. But Anthony,

1449
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 4: the last time we saw him, it's like a very

1450
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 4: volatile player, and that's why I think ultimately they would

1451
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 4: not want to start him.

1452
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: My two cents, Yeah, you know, there's not clearly. Look

1453
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: at the poll. You know, three fourths of people want

1454
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Tom gone. But there is a chunk albeit, let's just

1455
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: play it out twenty five percent of it that there

1456
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: are some people to sit there and say, guys, we're

1457
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: talking about a dude coming off with torn achilles that's

1458
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: never been healthy for an entire NFL season. Oh, I

1459
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: hear him, So I agree, Therefore, don't you need a

1460
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: just some insurance? Frankly at quarterback albeit Leonard, and I

1461
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: don't get the vibe like they view richardson partying means

1462
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: we need to go out and get Gardner Minshew for

1463
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: insurance or you know that some sort of veteran quarterback

1464
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: for that reason.

1465
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 4: Well you would know this quote a little better than

1466
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 4: me because you grew up around here. But Tom Moore,

1467
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 4: when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts, didn't he once

1468
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 4: say that you can't practice FT if eighteen goes down,

1469
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 4: we're f and we can't practice f'.

1470
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you. I'm glad that you sense you

1471
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: censor yourself.

1472
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 4: You know I had to.

1473
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't.

1474
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to make Mark use the dump button.

1475
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 4: But that's essentially the approach I think they're taking. They're like,

1476
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 4: we can't afford to go spend a draft capital big

1477
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 4: money on another quarterback, so we're gonna roll the dice

1478
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 4: with Daniel Jones and if we get f yea, it

1479
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 4: is what it.

1480
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: Is, all right, Let's chat with the man that his

1481
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: presence is one of the reasons why we have this job, frankly,

1482
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and why we are here at the NFL combine.

1483
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 4: Right and ge him locked outside?

1484
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, he calls this place home. He

1485
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: is the great Chris call of the vice president of

1486
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: the visit Indy Chris. Always good to see you. Gentlemen.

1487
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 6: Welcome to the seventeenth largest convention center in the United States,

1488
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 6: the epicenter of the football universe, the NFL Combine.

1489
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 4: Talk that's talk it is.

1490
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 6: Uh. We did Day one is in the books. Felt

1491
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 6: good about it, a lot of fans, a lot of

1492
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 6: media buzz. So glad to be on the show. Thanks

1493
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 6: for having me on.

1494
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 1: Now let's start here. You maybe have said this before

1495
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: to us when either when Lucas Oil was built, it

1496
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: was built with this event in mind.

1497
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,919
Speaker 6: Correct, You're right, good memory, Kevin. When we built the stadium,

1498
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 6: it was not only for culture related football, although that's important.

1499
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 6: Has four locker rooms so that when we host the

1500
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 6: Final four that's in play. It's with meeting rooms and

1501
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 6: exhibition halls for conventions, and fiber optic cable is running

1502
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 6: from those meeting rooms from those facilities, from the meeting

1503
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 6: rooms inside all the way to down you health, so

1504
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 6: that we knew MRIs and imaging would need to be done.

1505
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 6: It would need to be done and quickly and efficiently.

1506
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 6: So it was with the NFL Combine, major conventions, colts,

1507
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 6: NCAA related basketball on mine when that thing went up

1508
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,959
Speaker 6: in eight. So here we are and it's still effective.

1509
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 4: Chris, we saw you all get an extension for the

1510
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 4: NFL Draft Combine. You have to make a pitch every

1511
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,839
Speaker 4: couple of years. I would assume maybe on annual basis.

1512
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 4: What is the same about Maybe you're pitching what has

1513
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 4: to change or grow and evolve as you continue to

1514
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 4: make this event home here.

1515
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 6: Well we fend off competition. We know that other major

1516
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 6: cities are again back here prospecting this event under one roof.

1517
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 6: That is our mantra. We can keep all of the prospects,

1518
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 6: all of the media, all of the owners, everyone under

1519
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 6: one roof with all the connected hotel rooms into the

1520
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 6: convention Center for media row for press conference, and then

1521
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 6: into the stadium for all the workouts. By the way,

1522
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 6: all the prospects stay at the Crown Plaza, which is

1523
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 6: attached to the convention Center and the hotel closest to

1524
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 6: the stadium. So one room has been our mantra to

1525
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 6: keep this event successful in Indianapolis. Now into the future,

1526
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 6: these cities they want the event. They see what this

1527
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 6: has become fan facing thirty thirty five thousand fans and

1528
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 6: visitors will descend inside and outside Lucas Oil for the

1529
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 6: fan experience, and you all the media twelve thousand credential

1530
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 6: media bantering about the x's and o's, but also the

1531
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 6: city behind the x's and o's. So this is a

1532
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 6: very sought after event. We broke a record last year

1533
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 6: with thirty thousand visitors were eyeing thirty two to thirty

1534
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 6: five because of the weather.

1535
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: Well, Phil Yates, we just had him on ESPN if

1536
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: you need to cut any audio for marketing reasons. He

1537
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 1: was glowing.

1538
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 6: I was listening and watching and he is a big.

1539
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Indie fan, big Indie fan. Great, great dude, So it's

1540
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: nice to have that chat with him. Okay. I In

1541
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: years past you've sat with us and said on the

1542
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: docta for this week, is securing the combine for future years?

1543
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: James just said, you've taken care of business.

1544
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 6: Twenty seven, twenty seven and twenty eight thirty four years.

1545
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: You announced that with Pat McAfee a few weeks back.

1546
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Is the draft on your schedule for this week and

1547
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 1: trying to get that to call INDI home.

1548
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked that question. Absolutely, We're not going

1549
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 6: to be sheepish about the fact that the Indiana Sports Corps,

1550
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 6: the City of Indianapolis, i U Health, the Colts, this facility,

1551
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 6: Lucas Or Stadium, the Convention Center, in Visit Indy. We're

1552
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 6: coming together. In fact, we have a pitch today with

1553
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 6: the NFL executives. Another benefit of hosting the event, they're

1554
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 6: already here. We've expressed our interest in wanting the draft,

1555
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 6: and now we will formally, led by the Colts to

1556
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 6: the Sports corep in Visit Indy. We will formally say

1557
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 6: we would like the draft into the twenty thirties range.

1558
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 6: We'll tell you the exact date because we know there

1559
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 6: are other major cities that are saying which year do

1560
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 6: we want, but we want twenty thirty and beyond. We

1561
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 6: want to be a specific host of the draft and

1562
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 6: put it into our portfolio. So we're going to pitch

1563
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 6: them today. The weather looks great and wish us.

1564
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Luck and the site for that we have. You know,

1565
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: it's been rumored on you know whatever, Jake Querry, you

1566
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:58,400
Speaker 1: know ims, you know over there, but no, it's more

1567
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,879
Speaker 1: of a central location to the meati you see of downtown.

1568
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Correct It is.

1569
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 6: We're looking at Military Park, We're looking at American Legion Mall.

1570
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 6: We're looking at maybe the parking lots here of the

1571
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 6: stadium which we activate around Monument Circle. The NCAA is

1572
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 6: coming for the Men's Final Four and they're activating American

1573
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 6: Legion Mall. We think that's a viable location. White River

1574
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 6: State Parks a viable location. The Motor Speedway is obviously

1575
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 6: built to host this type of event. You've got two

1576
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 6: different sporting you know, franchises or brands, if you will,

1577
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 6: So we have to kind of walk through that a

1578
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 6: little bit. But we feel we've got the space and

1579
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 6: we know we can host these major events. We'll send

1580
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 6: a delegation to Pittsburgh to again look at what they

1581
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 6: have done. We've gone to Detroit, We've gone to Green Bay,

1582
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 6: We've gone to Chicago. We've done our homework. So we

1583
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:45,839
Speaker 6: feel our pitch is ready.

1584
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Chris, obviously for me and Kevin and for others. We

1585
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 4: show up this week, everything set up, everything's ready to go.

1586
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 4: We kind of expect these things to be in place.

1587
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 4: But from a logistical standpoint, can you take us perhaps

1588
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 4: a little bit behind the curtain of how much of

1589
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 4: this is a year round, yearly process to make sure

1590
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 4: that again you're doing what you've always done, but doing

1591
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 4: it to the best of your ability.

1592
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 6: Thank you. I'm glad you noticed that, because it doesn't

1593
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 6: just pop up. This is a year round planning process.

1594
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 6: And as with most major events and conventions, and this

1595
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 6: one in particular, Jeff Foster is the designee who lives

1596
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 6: in Indianapolis, who is the NFL liaison. He runs the

1597
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 6: actual event for our community for the NFL, and so

1598
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 6: we meet with him every month. What's working, what's not.

1599
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 6: We got construction here as we're building a new hotel

1600
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 6: and expanding the convention center, so streets close, you pop

1601
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 6: up and have issues with flight delays because of the weather,

1602
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 6: and so we meet with Jeff Foster. We meet with

1603
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 6: the NFL every month year round to fine tune how

1604
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 6: we will show up for these four or five days

1605
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 6: in February. I will tell you that this started moving

1606
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 6: in late last week, so you know, it takes five

1607
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 6: or six days to make sure that everything is groomed

1608
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 6: and read and cables are in place and lighting is

1609
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 6: in place. It's very heavy behind us here, you know,

1610
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 6: with press conference with stanchions, if you will that this

1611
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 6: takes time and the load in is substantial.

1612
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: The executive vice president of Visit Indy. He is Chris

1613
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: Galways with us here live on radio Row. Okay, last

1614
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: one for me, and again I probably ask you this

1615
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: annually and I'm going to remove the draft if I

1616
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: can from it. A sporting event you would like to see,

1617
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: call Indie home, wo be what you know?

1618
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:36,200
Speaker 6: Any Olympic qualifier that we have not hosted is always desirable.

1619
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 6: We keep picking away at that, but I will I

1620
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 6: think I answered maybe similarly and it feels the same,

1621
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 6: and that is F one. M let's get back at

1622
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 6: one now. I know in talking with Doug Bowles and

1623
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 6: Allison and Mark Miles and the team over at Ims

1624
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 6: and Penske, it's it's an expensive event and we know

1625
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 6: all the attributes of why that would be interesting to

1626
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 6: have back and now with a Netflix kind of series,

1627
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 6: if you will, it would just be something we should

1628
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 6: aspire to if the funding works and the financing works,

1629
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 6: we have the infrastructure and we can welcome the world

1630
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 6: back for F one. That would be tip of my

1631
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 6: tongue if we had an unlimited budget and could wave

1632
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 6: the wand.

1633
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: You think another college football National Championship. Yes, but they

1634
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't bid for that, correct, they select the city.

1635
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: Is that right?

1636
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,560
Speaker 6: In the past, it's been a little bit more of

1637
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 6: the latter.

1638
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a Super Bowl, I guess right.

1639
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,839
Speaker 6: I'm saying moving forward though, there is a bid process

1640
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 6: and the sports core and visit Indie. You know, we

1641
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 6: have to put our heads together and say, how do

1642
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 6: we have dates in space? I mean, the good problem

1643
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 6: is we're starting to run out of space and dates,

1644
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 6: so you have to really make room forward. It has

1645
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 6: to align with future host cities and when they're open,

1646
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 6: and then you've just got to go and be laser

1647
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 6: focused on that bid. So I think you'll see us

1648
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 6: run for another CFP. Certainly want the draft, want to

1649
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 6: continue to extend the combine, not be too greedy, but boy,

1650
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 6: if we could throw in a couple other other major events,

1651
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 6: we'd be happy.

1652
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: He is a great, great ambassador for our great city.

1653
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 1: Chris Call, thank you, thanks for having me man, appreciate

1654
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:09,560
Speaker 1: good luck today.

1655

Speaker 6: Gentlemen, I love listening. Thanks for having me on.

1656
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 1: Chris Call right here, visit Indy and again the NFL

1657
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Draft pitch coming later today from him. More from the Combine.

1658
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: On the other side, it is the Fan Morning Show.

1659
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 2: Live from the NFL Combine in you downtown Indianapolis. You

1660
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 2: are listening to the Fan Morning Show.

1661
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 4: How much do you think? And welcome back to the

1662
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 4: Fan Morning Show here. I want to seven five to fan.

1663
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:54,679
Speaker 4: That song has skyrocketed or helped out the artists who

1664
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 4: made it. But could you imagine making a song and

1665
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 4: it's like all these years later, is that a little

1666
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 4: abba action? Yeah? Was going up the iTunes Hot one

1667
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 4: hundred or whatever. It is like some amazing stuff.

1668
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 1: Somehow Spotify spits out the analytics of most played in

1669
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: the three one, seven, eight one two area codes here

1670
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: in the years of twenty five, the Tony twice. I

1671
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: think I told you one of my buddies who I

1672
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: went to IU with, he uh, that was his wedding.

1673
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: That's what he came out to to his wedding. And

1674
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 1: this is when was this is December? So I guess

1675
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: it was right for the playoffs. Yeah, came out to that.

1676
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: Now is that what they played when Fernanda Mendoza just

1677
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: took the podium. I don't know if you can get

1678
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: to hear that over the speakers. You make a good Actually,

1679
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: you're making a good point here. We should get walk

1680
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: up music for every prospect.

1681
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 4: Chris call would be the one to ask, yes, who

1682
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 4: he just steps up to the podium, had on Mark.

1683
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 1: What what did you think about Chris call f one

1684
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: making a return? Here? Another college football National Championship game?

1685
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,719
Speaker 3: I need another the WWE situation we had Royal Rumble.

1686
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 3: We're also supposed to get wrestleming in SummerSlam at some

1687
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 3: point I've heard. I've heard nary a word about it.

1688
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 3: I need to get an update on what the situation is.

1689
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: That original announcement was something to the effective we would

1690
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: not frequently visit Indy, but there were there was a

1691
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: few more events, right and.

1692
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yassel and they said they wouldn't be like necessarily

1693
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,600
Speaker 3: close together, but they would spread them out over the

1694
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 3: next couple few years. And I have not heard anything

1695
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 3: since Royal Rumble last January. So yeah, I need an

1696
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 3: update on when the next one is coming.

1697
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: Nine o'clock hour. I do want to get into what

1698
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: we tease to end the show yesterday. And you know, again,

1699
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: James were what Tuesday I think is when we get

1700
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 1: our first definite answer on something. Colts offseason related. Yes,

1701
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: that's when the franchise tag window closed. Is so nine

1702
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. You know, I listed five Colts players for

1703
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,879
Speaker 1: you guys to end the show yesterday, Daniel Jones, Alec Pierce,

1704
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, Junior Zaire, Franklin nit Cross. Let's rank them

1705
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: most likely to least likely to come back. Now on

1706
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: that list, James just two, I should say three free agents.

1707
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, again, by Tuesday you'll get some answer with

1708
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: the franch either you've got a long term deal done

1709
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: with the guys, either you've tagged one of the two

1710
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: or and I'd be surprised this nothing, And then that

1711
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: means you have If you don't tag any of them

1712
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: by Tuesday, that means you have six days to get

1713
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: a long term deal done with either of them, or

1714
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 1: they're free to agree to terms with anybody in the NFL.

1715
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 4: I think the tag is just eminent at this point.

1716
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 4: I just don't see why if you are, let's say

1717
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 4: you're Alex Peers and you know we all want raises

1718
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 4: on our jobs, and the boss man's saying, ah, we'll

1719
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 4: give you this, and you're looking at that tag like,

1720
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 4: wait a second. But if I just wait a little

1721
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 4: bit longer. Don't sign this, You'll be forced to give

1722
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 4: me this, or I'll have some other competitors coming in

1723
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 4: to give me a raise. So in my mind, I

1724
01:23:56,200 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 4: just don't see the incentive from Alex's part. And I'm

1725
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 4: using Ali because I think that he's the more likely

1726
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,719
Speaker 4: tag AT candidate. But I don't see any reason why

1727
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,560
Speaker 4: he should rush into signing something, because if this is

1728
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 4: a true negotiation, it's not like the cults are going

1729
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 4: to say, well, your floor is twenty eight million dollars

1730
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,080
Speaker 4: a year, We'll just give you that right now out

1731
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 4: of good faith and good will. No, there's gonna be

1732
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 4: some negotiating, and if I'm him, I'm not signing anything,

1733
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 4: and so you tag me and then we figure it out.

1734
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. One more thing on the Anthony Richardson front, James,

1735
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 1: going back to that conversation here for just a second.

1736
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:35,520
Speaker 1: You know when I saw the news yesterday, well absolutely

1737
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: expected clearly. I think both you and I have made

1738
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: this very clear for months now, you know I I

1739
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: frankly I remember the Monday after the eye injury, asking

1740
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: you and Jeff on the show. I go has Anthony

1741
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: Richardson put on a Colts uniform for the last time, like,

1742
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: if this eye injury is really serious, are we there?

1743
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: And that turned out to be true. But what I

1744
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: was struck by yesterday was, while again the marriage we

1745
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 1: knew was likely to end here this offseason, the jarring

1746
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: nature of when you draft a quarterback fourth overall, and

1747
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,719
Speaker 1: you think about future NFL combines where all the business happens,

1748
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: all the behind the scenes agreed trades, contracts, et cetera.

1749
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 1: You think ahead four years when Anthony, when Chris Boward

1750
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: sat down with Derek Jackson yesterday Anthony Richardson's agent, that

1751
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the time where you get the

1752
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:29,599
Speaker 1: framework together on the second contract. That's where you walk

1753
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 1: away from that table and say you are our franchise

1754
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're gonna be here for now, yeah, five

1755
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: more years and this and this marriage is going to

1756
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:43,839
Speaker 1: continue for a decade. And yet that conversation yesterday ended

1757
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: with we love the kids, but we need to split up.

1758
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I want to make this clear, Kevin talking

1759
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 4: to a lot of people from all sides yesterday, behind

1760
01:25:54,840 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 4: the scenes, this seems like a very amicable blit. Potentially

1761
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 4: there's a lot of mutual respect on both sides and

1762
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 4: know people are like rolling their eyes on that. In

1763
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 4: the car. Make sure you keep outs on the road,

1764
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:09,799
Speaker 4: you know, drive safely.

1765
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: But sounds like mark with my strip on this morning.

1766
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 4: But that if you're a if you're a reasonable person

1767
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 4: and you're looking at this through a reasonable lens, you

1768
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 4: have to understand that, Yeah, Anthony has a right to

1769
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 4: feel like, you know what, my best chance to live

1770
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 4: the dream and get a shot to redo this thing

1771
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 4: is not here and for the Colts purposes. As soon

1772
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 4: as they announced that Daniel Jones was their starter last

1773
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 4: year and it went well over those first ten weeks,

1774
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 4: it was solidified that he was their guy in the future.

1775
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:51,679
Speaker 4: So this is not a surprise at all and something

1776
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 4: that we all kind of foresaw months ago. And I

1777
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 4: remember all of the columns we rode Kevin and questions

1778
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 4: we asked. But as soon as really, honestly looking back

1779
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 4: at it, just started this in the moment last year

1780
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:08,560
Speaker 4: here at the Combine. As soon as Chris Ballard said

1781
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 4: we're doing an open competition. That was the end of

1782
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 4: the Anthony Richardson experience of the nail. That was it.

1783
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 4: You know, happily married, if you are dating someone and

1784
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 4: they say, you know what, I got this other person

1785
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 4: coming in. I'm gonna see how they are before I

1786
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 4: get back to you, and then we'll see how it

1787
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 4: all works out. Like it's Love Island, brother, you lost

1788
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 4: that bet. So again, for those maybe from the national perspective,

1789
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 4: they are probably a little bit more shocked by it

1790
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 4: or just more intrigued by how it all happened. But

1791
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 4: people here now, our listeners, know this was going to happen,

1792
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 4: and quite frankly, I think it.

1793
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: Needs to happen. Are you watching Love Island?

1794
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 4: I'm not. I feel like I get are being honest.

1795
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 4: I'm very honest about this. I don't have Netflix. Is

1796
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 4: that Netflix I think I have? I don't have Netflix.

1797
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 4: I told you told the story before. My grandma has

1798
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 4: my Netflix account back in Chicago, so I just pay

1799
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 4: the bill and I see what she's watching. She ain't

1800
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,600
Speaker 4: watching Love Island, but my sister watches it, and so

1801
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 4: when I catch up with her, she'll fill me in

1802
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 4: on the characters who I never know who they are.

1803
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 4: Head to our website.

1804
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: We got the early bird special for our fan golf

1805
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,759
Speaker 1: outing coming up April thirtieth. Down the Legends, It's golf season. Today,

1806
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: just go outside. I mean, it is golf season today.

1807
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for that. We'll be down at the

01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,200

1809
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: and then the outing starts. One thing I love about

1810
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: the outing it's early ten thirty am our start time there,

1811

Speaker 4: TV will be showing off Dad Drive.

1813
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Nice little Thursday there. I'm not mistaken that James Boyd

1814
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: maybe showed off a little bit of his golf skills

1815
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: O year.

1816
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 4: I think I was with jmv over by the rollout

1817
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 4: rim that we were shooting on.

1818

Speaker 1: Am I allowed to sing?

01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: to tell me twice what time we talking?

1846
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 6: Say?

1847
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 1: You know, just you know I need a party of

1848
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 1: fifteen if we're gonna get the bones and the boys

1849
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:33,680
Speaker 1: in there.

1850
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 4: Thought I thought Chappy was picking up the bill.

1851
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 1: A happy birthday to Mike Chapel. We are live here

1852
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:40,960
Speaker 1: at the Conventions.

1853
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what Chap still has the zinger. I

1854
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 4: can I just say real quick the amount of one

1855
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 4: liners to share by that man. Munt of times I've

1856
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:51,600
Speaker 4: been dunked on by chap in the media room, I

1857
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,879
Speaker 4: feel like it's a ride up passage so good, and honestly,

1858
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 4: I think that we actually get along better as a

1859
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 4: beat than I can imagine most NFL beats because it

1860
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 4: is all oaks and laughter and serious. That is when

1861
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 4: it comes to like the work.

1862
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: But I sit next to every home game and yeah,

1863
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: he's locked in, you know, for ninety eight percent of

1864
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:10,680
Speaker 1: the game, but there are there's the two percent where

1865
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,480
Speaker 1: he throws in the zinger and it makes me laugh. Yeah,

1866
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like a Joel Air tackle, is what it sounds.

1867
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 4: Oh and that's another guy. He is so button up

1868
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,719
Speaker 4: on social media. His laugh has to be the loudest

1869
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 4: one in the media room. And it is contagious because

1870
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 4: every time he laughs, I laugh.

1871
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: God, my singing voice is so freaking horrific. All right,

1872
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:31,839
Speaker 1: we'll do it one final hour here live at the Combine.

1873
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: It is the fan morning, Jeff. You know, I'm gonna

1874
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 1: go with for our burn CD for a high school

1875
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 1: basketball soundtrack. I'm gonna go like I'm gonna go Odin

1876
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 1: Conley era.

1877
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go maybe a little bit, you know, a

1878
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,760
Speaker 11: little bit like a little George Hill, aj Ratliffe, you

1879
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,519
Speaker 11: know Josh McRoberts action for a little fort minor remember

1880
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 11: the name as we are live here at the combine,

1881
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 11: Mark Ida excellent, they are.

1882
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 3: Not what is the songs that most likely used as

1883
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 3: like montages and everything during the combine and everything like that.

1884
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 3: This has got to work there.

1885
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 4: That felt like I was firing up YouTube and high

1886
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 4: school and watching a hoop.

1887
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Mixtape West Virginia highlights right there. You're watching Pat Whites highlights.

1888
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 4: Or something like that, or looking at a Keel Car

1889
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 4: highlights for the deep basketball fans out there when it

1890
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 4: comes to the hoop mixtapes. But that game, that song

1891
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 4: was in NBA Live OH six, I believe PlayStation two.

1892
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:34,639
Speaker 1: Front cover of NBA Live O six.

1893
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 4: I think it was d wait was it? Yeah?

1894
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:38,919
Speaker 3: On video games soundtrack?

1895
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: Oh everything everything?

1896
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 4: Oh there was nothing like going to the store and

1897
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,640
Speaker 4: having to like purchase the actual physical disc and now

1898
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 4: everything's download.

1899
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: These kids are soft Top five most likely to least

1900
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: likely to return for the Colts. We tease this to

1901
01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: end the show yesterday, and if we do an alphabetical order,

1902
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:03,759
Speaker 1: the five players will choose from Nick Cross, free agent

1903
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Zia Franklin two years left on this deal? Is that right? Yes,

1904
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:11,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones free agent, Alec Pierce free agent. In the

1905
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: fifth name, Michael Pittman Junior, one year left on his

1906
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 1: second NFL contract. Most likely to return? Mark, you want

1907
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: to go one through five in that order? We start

1908
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,799
Speaker 1: with the most likely to be back with the Colts.

1909
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a good plan, So Mark, Wellley, Mark

1910
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 1: might have been watching my strip teas.

1911
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, let's take it home.

1912
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 6: Are we talking about?

1913
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? Huh, all right, James Boyd start us off. Most

1914
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,559
Speaker 1: likely of those five names to return.

1915
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 4: Okay, Now this might throw you for a little bit

1916
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 4: of a loop because I've been talking about the franchise

1917
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 4: tag and who I would use it on, that person

1918
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:51,639
Speaker 4: being Alec Pierce, but no, he is not a top

1919
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 4: of my list. Most likely to return is Daniel Jones

1920
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:59,719
Speaker 4: because without Daniel you got nothing. They hitch their wagon

1921
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 4: to the man when they give up two first round

1922
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 4: picks to get Sauce Gardner, and I just think, whether

1923
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 4: it's the tag, whether it's a deal before it's tag deadline,

1924
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 4: there is no way, zero percent chance the Colts can

1925
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,719
Speaker 4: let him play for a different franchise next season.

1926
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you, brother, Mark Dodkin, who you got number

1927
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: one on the list, same same I said they literally

1928
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 1: committed to him at last season's trade deadline with the

1929
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner trade.

1930
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 3: Got to hammer out a deal. But I'd be stunned

1931
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 3: if Daniel Jones is not a member of the Colts

1932
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 3: going forward.

1933
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: Okay, two on our list again most likely to return.

1934
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:39,639
Speaker 1: We're down to Franklin, Cross, Pierce or Pittman Junior. Mark,

1935
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: who you got two?

1936
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 3: I go Alec Pierce. I say if they can't get

1937
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 3: an extension done, they will franchise tag him. So I

1938
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,800
Speaker 3: don't expect Alex Pierce to be going anywhere either. I

1939
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 3: think he and Daniel Jones are lockstepp. They will be

1940
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty six.

1941
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 1: If we have the same list one to five, then

1942
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 1: we might as well just walk out of here right now.

1943
01:34:58,080 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit different as we get

1944
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:00,679
Speaker 3: to the least likely.

1945
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Alec Pierce. I have to, and

1946
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 4: I hate that. You know we have the same list,

1947
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:09,800
Speaker 4: but you copied off of me. I showed you my

1948
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 4: answers before the show. You walked over here while you

1949
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 4: were stripped teas and it took a glance at my

1950
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 4: you know paper, and I should have had one of

1951
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 4: those little fourth do you remember we had the folders folders,

1952
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 4: you don't peak it. But yeah, it's Alec Pearson for

1953
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 4: the same reasons, similarly as Daniel Jones. You can't let

1954
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 4: that guy leave.

1955
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:28,200
Speaker 1: You need him.

1956
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 4: And quite honestly, they are the two free agents that

1957
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 4: the team has openly said we want them back, we

1958
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 4: need them back. They will be back under the right circumstances.

1959
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did go with Pierce. Did you guys debate

1960
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: Pearson Jones at all? Like what do so? I guess

1961
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 1: to go back and maybe basically, if Daniel Jones plays

1962
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 1: any other position besides quarterback, would he be two on

1963
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 1: this list?

1964
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and honestly I think the list, yeah, I think

1965
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 4: that's true. But also from the stay purely look just

1966
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 4: a standpoint or like a process standpoint, and to can

1967
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 4: maybe amend my list, I feel most confident that Alick

1968
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 4: will be back just because from a tag standpoint, he's

1969
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 4: just not leaving because of the tag. I think for

1970
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, this is the position more than the tag,

1971
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,400
Speaker 4: which is why it's a coin flip for who would

1972
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 4: most likely be back, because to me, it's a foregone

1973
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:22,679
Speaker 4: conclusion for both.

1974
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of crazy? Like if Daniel Jones had

1975
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: his career at any other position, we probably wouldn't even

1976
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 1: really seriously debate his return.

1977
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 4: We've talked about this so much.

1978
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like, it wouldn't be that big of a

1979
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,559
Speaker 1: deal if he came back, is what I'm saying.

1980
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,800
Speaker 4: To go on a bit of a tangent, you have

1981
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,599
Speaker 4: the Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker just won Super Bowl MVP,

1982
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 4: and they're talking about will he be there next year

1983
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 4: for that franchise, be franchise tags a great extend or

1984
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 4: can we find a better replacement? And the guy just

1985
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 4: won you a Super Bowl, So quarterback matters.

1986
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,919
Speaker 1: All right. Third on my list most likely to return,

1987
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: and we're down to Michael Pittman. Juniors are Franklin and

1988
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. This is where, to Mark's point, I got

1989
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:16,120
Speaker 1: real lacking of conviction very quickly in how I formed three,

1990
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 1: four and five on this list, and I think, frankly,

1991
01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: it's a huge drop from one to two to three.

1992
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: I will go with Pittman, but I am gonna say

1993
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 1: what I said earlier in the week I don't think

1994
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:31,320
Speaker 1: it's Cohen Carr dunk in the basketball big of a lock.

1995
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit more of Lamar Wilkerson

1996
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: on a fast break with Sam Alexis late in the

1997
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 1: Northwestern game. I'm kind of like, oh boy, I don't

1998
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 1: it certainly can't happen at twenty nine million, which is

1999
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,680
Speaker 1: the cap hit. So I just think the Colts have

2000
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more they like Pittman Junior. Of course,

2001
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:51,680
Speaker 1: Ballad is a huge, huge fan of them, but I

2002
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit more willingness to accept life

2003
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: without him than I maybe originally thought. I still think

2004
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 1: he'll be back. That as my thoughts on Pittman mark

2005
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 1: third on your list.

2006
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 3: I debated that as well. I ed did end up

2007
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 3: going with Michael Pittman Junior, but only because they still

2008
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:12,720
Speaker 3: have him under contract. I do think a restructuring has

2009
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 3: to happen. The salary cap is like, I feel like

2010
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 3: it's fake. There's no way the salary cap actually exists.

2011
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 3: Everybody says they are over, they're over, and yet everyone

2012
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 3: finds the way. The Saints were like two hundred million

2013
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 3: dollars over one year, and yet they have never faced

2014
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 3: any consequences. They can figure it out. I do think

2015
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 3: of the guys that are remaining, since he's under contract,

2016
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 3: he is the most likely to return, but again, a

2017
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:35,759
Speaker 3: restructuring has to take place.

2018
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,800
Speaker 4: It's funny that Mark mentions that because I was just

2019
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 4: talking to Nate Taylor, former Indianapolis sports reporter I believe

2020
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,719
Speaker 4: was a Pacers reporter for Andy Starr covers the Chiefs

2021
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 4: for ESPN. Not to get too far into the week.

2022
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:56,520
Speaker 4: We told me every year the Chiefs restructure Mahomes' contract

2023
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 4: to get more salary, cap relief and a go get players.

2024
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 4: So it can be done. And so the Colts I think,

2025
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 4: if they're serious, they will do some restructuring and perhaps

2026
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,040
Speaker 4: some cutting. So this is where we differ. I have

2027
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 4: Franklin on my list, and the reason I have it.

2028
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: It sounds like somebody has been a guest on Zarah

2029
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:15,280
Speaker 1: Franklin's podcast.

2030
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 4: I have, and boy have things changed since then. I

2031
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:24,960
Speaker 4: would say, because his contract is still relatively cheap, because

2032
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 4: you have more questions at linebacker than just him, I'm

2033
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 4: not so sure that they will completely rehaul that room.

2034
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 4: And for that reason, I think that there is an

2035
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 4: argument that he can be brought back with the caveat

2036
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,479
Speaker 4: that he just can't be brought back alongside the same

2037
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 4: player and Jermaine Pratt. Perhaps you get a more rangy

2038
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,679
Speaker 4: linebacker to go with him. He's been a team captain

2039
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 4: for I believe the last four or five years. So

2040
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 4: I'm planting my flag with Zaire Franklin being under contract

2041
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:58,599
Speaker 4: again in twenty twenty six with the Colts over Michael

2042
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 4: Pittman Jr. Because he would have to take a massive

2043
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 4: restructuring to be brought back.

2044
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: I had Franklin fourth, and so you know, one of

2045
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 1: the more least likely I guess to be back. I

2046
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: cannot recall the last time Chris Ballard, when asked about

2047
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 1: a player under contract, has offered a wool. See. I

2048
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 1: just linebacker's probably the position I most unknown about James.

2049
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: As we enter, you know, March and we're about to

2050
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 1: get answers, just remind everybody Jermaine Pratt is under or

2051
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 1: excuse me, is a free agent, and like you said,

2052
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: Zia under contract for two more years. And yes, linebacker

2053
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,840
Speaker 1: depth is lacking. But I just think when you say

2054
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,599
Speaker 1: retool on the front seven, you're gonna have to create

2055
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: some changes. And I agree, I think there's gonna have

2056
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: to be some hard decisions with some guys. So I

2057
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: had Zia Franklin fourth, Mark, who did you have?

2058
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 3: I had Nick Cross as my fourth. So I think

2059
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 3: he got some positive words from Chris Ballard the other

2060
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,680
Speaker 3: day when he joined us. But I also feel like

2061
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:00,920
Speaker 3: he's a free agent, he can go get his own deal.

2062
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 3: He probably wants to test the market, so there's a

2063
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 3: likelihood that he does leave, but there's still a chance

2064
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 3: the Colts can bring him back. But my other thought

2065
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 3: of why I think he could be most likely one

2066
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 3: of the more likely out is because I mean, does

2067
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:16,639
Speaker 3: Nick Cross really move the needle that much? Like, don't

2068
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 3: you think there's like a dozen Nick Crosses out there

2069
01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 3: that you can get in free agency or in the draft.

2070
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 3: So I think he can get paid pretty well, and

2071
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 3: he has the option obviously to go test the waters

2072
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 3: elsewhere if he chooses to, so the Colts can bring

2073
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 3: him back, but I think he could also just leave

2074
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:31,839
Speaker 3: via free agency.

2075
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 4: I was having this same conversation Mark, Stop getting in

2076
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 4: my head, James, you know I'm serious. I was having

2077
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 4: this conversation with some people who work in the league

2078
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:45,840
Speaker 4: about like the suppression of the safety market, because you

2079
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 4: remember a couple of years ago, Julian Blackman had a

2080
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:50,120
Speaker 4: pretty good year, right, and it took him forever to

2081
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:50,639
Speaker 4: get signed.

2082
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: He didn't resign till like April.

2083
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's one of those things where

2084
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 4: you can get perhaps some ready made safeties in the draft.

2085
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 4: Look at the Seahawks, Nick is it emon ware he

2086
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 4: was balling for them. I mean, he was a really

2087
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 4: good player for them on that championship level defense. And

2088
01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 4: he's also a cheap player. And then I also think

2089
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,720
Speaker 4: that that position for the Colts, you've invested so much

2090
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 4: in your secondary as is, I'm not so sure how

2091
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 4: much money you can put into that. So that's why

2092
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 4: I had Pittman fourth on my list and a Cross

2093
01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 4: ended up being fifth.

2094
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, I also rounded it out with Nick Cross there.

2095
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: You know one thing we touched a little bit on

2096
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,759
Speaker 1: it yesterday when you asked him James about nit Cross

2097
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: and when you ask Chris Power, that is, you don't

2098
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 1: see a lot of safeties pay two of them, or

2099
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:41,680
Speaker 1: excuse me, a lot of teams pay two safeties and

2100
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,400
Speaker 1: notable money. Not that nit Cross is gonna break the bank.

2101
01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting a cam buying them contract

2102
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: of you know, four years and sixty million, but he's

2103
01:42:49,120 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: probably gonna get you know, whatever seven or eight million.

2104
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 1: And I know that might not sound like a lot

2105
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 1: when the cap is whatever, one hundred and fifty one

2106
01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: million dollars, but it is a lot when you start

2107
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,599
Speaker 1: to kind of break it down from an actual puzzle

2108
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 1: piece and you start to allocate money in other spots.

2109
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: They're now paying a quarterback we expect major money. They're

2110
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: now likely to pay a wide receiver major money, maybe

2111
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:13,759
Speaker 1: even two of them. They're now paying a left tackle,

2112
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, big money corner. They have a couple of

2113
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 1: big contracts as well. So it has a lot to

2114
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: do with the finances around a safety and less to

2115
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 1: do with Nick Cross as a player. Yes, exactly, Mark,

2116
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 1: Your fifth was Franklin?

2117
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 3: Is that right, Zire Franklin? Like you said, I mean,

2118
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 3: I don't know a guy that's been under contract. That

2119
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 3: kind of got some scrutiny. Chris Ballard kind of said

2120
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 3: the will see situational me. That makes me think that,

2121
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, if they're really going to be doing this

2122
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,679
Speaker 3: whole getting younger and faster. He's about to turn thirty

2123
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 3: years old, ahead a training camp, and while the one

2124
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 3: thing going for him is the linebacker position for the

2125
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 3: Colts is incredibly thin, I also could see growing frustrations

2126
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 3: with just his extracurriculars outside of football and outside of

2127
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 3: the building that they're kind of like, you know what,

2128
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 3: we need to just move on and turn the page

2129
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 3: on something like that. So Zaire Franklin, I have as

2130
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,480
Speaker 3: my least likely to return Colt.

2131
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 4: Again. We're here on one of seventy five of the

2132
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 4: Fan the Morning Show Live from the Combine. Thank you

2133
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 4: all for listening wherever you are, and I will say

2134
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 4: I've heard from a lot of these listeners and people

2135
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 4: on social media as well who support the show. Hey,

2136
01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:24,560
Speaker 4: we enjoying you guys talk, but we don't want to

2137
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 4: hear the linebacker, the team captain constantly getting in social

2138
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 4: media riff rafts with Jeff Tigue or Pat McAfee or others.

2139
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 4: So my question is to you Mark, because Mark, you've

2140
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 4: been all over this and you've been very adamant about

2141
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,759
Speaker 4: this when it comes to my ear, do you think

2142
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 4: your answer would have been different with him being last

2143
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 4: in your list had he not had a podcast, Like

2144
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 4: if he plays the same way he did last year,

2145
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 4: but no podcast, no extra distractions. Are you still ranking

2146
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 4: him last year come back?

2147
01:44:59,000 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: Hmmm?

2148
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 3: Again, I think also because of the contract and because

2149
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 3: of the position, that he would probably be most more

2150
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 3: likely to come back. But like I said, with the

2151
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 3: Ballard comments the other day, I just I tend to

2152
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 3: think that maybe they're even considering like this might be

2153
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:14,759
Speaker 3: the end too. So I'm just taking what the GM

2154
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 3: is saying and pushing it towards my brain. I'm like,

2155
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. If he's saying it, then

2156
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 3: there has to be some some talk inside that building

2157
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 3: that they might be moving on.

2158
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 4: I guess I'm just trying to gauge and Kevin Youkun

2159
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,640
Speaker 4: weigh in as well. How much do you think that

2160
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 4: is a factor in the decision?

2161
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 6: Mark?

2162
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: Do you have that ballad audio from Zia Franklin Give

2163
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 1: me a moment I can get it. Yeah, Okay, because

2164
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, James, I asked the original question to Ballard

2165
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:46,679
Speaker 1: of a when you have consistent captains and the team's

2166
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 1: success has not been there Again, the playoffs drought is

2167
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 1: now five years long. If you look at the captains

2168
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: over the last five years, it's a very similar group annually.

2169
01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: How do you evaluate those players and their leadership when

2170
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 1: you've gone five straight years without making the playoffs and

2171
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 1: the annual thing of having the collapse late in the

2172
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: year has been pretty frequent. And then you know, Franklin,

2173
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 1: to me, was kind of the one to ask the

2174
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: most about that. So Marcus found this audio. This is

2175
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Chris Boward in regards to A. I believe it was

2176
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:17,639
Speaker 1: just very simple. Do you expect ZAA Franklin back. That's

2177
01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 1: a fair question.

2178
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 12: Shane and I have, actually we've had discussions about that

2179
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:24,640
Speaker 12: because we have really I mean, look, y'all go through

2180
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 12: a locker room.

2181
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 1: We have really good dudes.

2182
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 12: They care, they want to win, They do everything they

2183
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 12: can in their power to do the right things. We

2184
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:40,959
Speaker 12: have to make sure that they're getting I mean, you know, leaders,

2185
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 12: you know, we got to help them lead sometimes, if

2186
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 12: that makes sense.

2187
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we all have growth to do, even all.

2188
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 12: I mean I have growth to do in that area

2189
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 12: and they do, and we need to do we need

2190
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 12: to help them grow along the way too of things

2191
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 12: that we want done to make sure that that is

2192
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 12: getting spread through the locker room. I think Shane does

2193
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 12: a really good job now, but you know, just at

2194
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 12: this at this time, you know, because of the results,

2195
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 12: it hadn't been what we wanted. So we've got to

2196
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 12: make sure that we're leading them in.

2197
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: The right direction to you expect Zia Franklin back.

2198
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 12: We'll see, love Ziir, I think like my relationship with him.

2199
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 12: He's very honest and he's very strong willed. Darius was

2200
01:47:25,479 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 12: very similar Leonard and usually good players are like that.

2201
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 12: So we'll see how it plays out.

2202
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:34,600
Speaker 4: I'm a.

2203
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:36,799
Speaker 1: When football.

2204
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 12: I'll tell you this, when football is over, Zaire Franklin

2205
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 12: is going to be a star and whatever he decides

2206
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 12: to do in life. He is smart, he is extremely

2207
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 12: mentally tough. He's everything you want in a in a

2208
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:55,919
Speaker 12: in a player in terms of makeup.

2209
01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,679
Speaker 1: So what was a fan of the podcast?

2210
01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:05,440
Speaker 12: Needless to say, Zaire and I've had some some discussions

2211
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:06,640
Speaker 12: about the podcast.

2212
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 1: Look, here's what I do like.

2213
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 12: I love that he's passionate about what could be next

2214
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 12: in life, like every one of our players. I want

2215
01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 12: that for But also, you know, sometimes we've got to

2216
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 12: learn to temper.

2217
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: And again that was Chris Ballard with us a little

2218
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 1: bit earlier. As we're live at the NFL Combine. All right,

Speaker 1: workout standpoint. And yesterday we got the front seven, D

2228
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:11,400
Speaker 1: line and linebackers working out a little bit lay of

2229
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 1: the land here at the combine. Really enjoyed our combo

2230
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: with field Yates from ESPN earlier. You can find that

2231
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: out on the podcast. And Chris gall from Visit Indy.

2232
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: He's got an NFL draft pitch for the league here

2233
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,080
Speaker 1: coming up later today, so those will be up on

2234
01:49:28,160 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 1: the podcast. James Boyd last night inside a Gamebridge Field

2235
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: House Pacers get rolled again. It was the Charlotte Hornets

2236
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,680
Speaker 1: hitting a ton of threes. We did see the re

2237
01:49:37,240 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 1: I Guess season not debut, but Obie topping back in

2238
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: the lineup.

2239
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it's only like his fourth game of

2240
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 4: the year.

2241
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, eight minutes for him, two four minutes stints he

2242
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:47,640
Speaker 1: actually started the game. Sounds like he'll be on a

2243
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 1: minut's restriction the rest of the way. But always good

2244
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:53,719
Speaker 1: to see Obie topping back in the lineup.

2245
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, on a tangent because I could talk about the record.

2246
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 4: It's still bad. The Pacers still have a good chance

2247
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 4: to get a top four pick. But shout out to

2248
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,000
Speaker 4: his daughter, Remy. I saw that she did a little

2249
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:08,000
Speaker 4: bit of social media action with the Pacers video team,

2250
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,599
Speaker 4: interviewing her dad and other players. She said her top

2251
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 4: three favorite Pacers are her Papa, ty Ty Tyrese Halliburton,

2252
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 4: and Drew Andrew Imhart. Look at that shot, Remy.

2253
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:22,680
Speaker 1: See Andrew Nemhart being a nice, calming babysitter.

2254
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 4: Right. I feel like like Ty is like, We're going

2255
01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 4: to do everything fun.

2256
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: And then Andrew was like, where's chill Hill. We're gonna

2257
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 1: chill uh. Last night it was no chill atmosphere inside

2258
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 1: of Mackie Arena. Great game between Perdue Michigan State, but

2259
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 1: not enough defensive stops for the boiler Makers. They did

2260
01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 1: a lot right against Tom Mizzo's bunch. They out rebounded them,

2261
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: they had a single digit number and turnovers. They shot

2262
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 1: the ball well enough. But that's gonna be the question

2263
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,960
Speaker 1: for me, James, and we get, you know whatever, two

2264
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,839
Speaker 1: and a half weeks from now. Purdue's got enough offense

2265
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:54,799
Speaker 1: to I would say, get through the first weekend without

2266
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stress. But once you get to

2267
01:50:56,960 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 1: playing teams like a Michigan State or an Illinois or

2268
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,640
Speaker 1: whatever in Iowa State, some of these teams that are

2269
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,599
Speaker 1: gonna be there in the Final sixteen, Final eight, I've

2270
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 1: got major questions about can you string together enough stops

2271
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 1: to get on a run all the way over to

2272
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: the building next door Lucasolo Stadium.

2273
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree there, I know laid in that game.

2274
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 4: I want to say, about five or six minutes left, Kevin,

2275
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 4: they let Michigan State, or I should say Michigan State

2276
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 4: just took you like a six to oh run and

2277
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 4: a six to ozer run. In a game like that

2278
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 4: where ultimately difference is too you just can't let the

2279
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 4: rope go in moments like that. You gotta be able

2280
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:34,920
Speaker 4: to stay attached a little bit closer. So tough one

2281
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 4: there for sure thought Brad Smith got a good look

2282
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:39,679
Speaker 4: at the end, but sometimes the ball does not bounce

2283
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 4: your way again.

2284
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,200
Speaker 1: For the this weekend, it'll be back to back CBS

2285
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:50,160
Speaker 1: doubleheader for Indiana and Purdue. Coming up on Sunday. Indiana

2286
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: will host to Michigan State, so they'll get their chance

2287
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 1: at Tom Mizzo in the game Indiana desperately needs. Joe

2288
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,400
Speaker 1: Lenardi currently has them as the last team in the field.

2289
01:51:59,439 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: Perdue will take on a bubble team in Ohio State,

2290
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,760
Speaker 1: so Indiana needs to pull for Purdue and that one

2291
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: Ohio State squarely on the bubble. Indiana Ohio State will

2292
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 1: actually meet to close out the season next weekend, a

2293
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 1: very important game of course for Darren Devrez and the Hoosiers.

2294
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:20,360
Speaker 1: Saint Pete race for IndyCar coming up the season debut

2304
01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 1: think it's four or five wins in a row. They

2305
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: beat Syracuse last night in South Bend. So not a

2306
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 1: lot of NCAA tournament flavor this year on the men

2307
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: or the women's side in Indiana, but the Notre Dame

2308
01:52:56,439 --> 01:52:58,600
Speaker 1: women look poised to be back in the tournament. I

2309
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 1: you women, I know they've won a few late, but

2310
01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:01,439
Speaker 1: they've kind of struggled this season.

2311
01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 4: They have, they have, and you know.

2312
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 1: Like they're not a tournament team.

2313
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 4: I guess no for coach more and Compson, yeah, you're

2314
01:53:06,600 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 4: used to them being in a different live But I

2315
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 4: think she's obviously earned with her resume a chance to

2316
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:13,599
Speaker 4: get back at next year kind of rebuild that team.

2317
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:13,720
Speaker 6: All right.

2318
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:15,439
Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we'll continue to get

2319
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 1: the day set NFL combine wise, the news of yesterday

2320
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson in that trade request, and we'll hear from

2321
01:53:22,120 --> 01:53:26,200
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza from this podium session earlier. Fan Bonne Choke,

2322
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,919
Speaker 1: Kevin Bow and James Boyd. Thank you on site. Engineer

2323
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 1: Cam and Mark dykedon back.

2324
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 2: Live from the NFL Combine in downtown Indianapolis. As you

2325
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 2: were listening to the Fan Morning.

2326
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 1: Show, NFL Combine were continuing here as we are live

2327
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: at the Convention Center downtown Indianapolis. We had Chris call

2328
01:53:57,120 --> 01:54:01,599
Speaker 1: from visit Indie on earlier previewed in NFL Draft pitch

2329
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 1: meeting that he's got here with the league coming up.

2330
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 1: He mentioned some sites White River, even the parking lots

2331
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 1: around Lucasoa Stadium, American Legion maul so some spots here

2332
01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 1: locally as visit Indy and then he as sports Corps

2333
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 1: tried to get the next big event here in town.

2334
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,360
Speaker 1: Have you have you ever gone over for the actual workouts, Like,

2335
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:24,839
Speaker 1: have you ever watched them in person?

2336
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 4: I went a few years ago when Anthony threw CJ.

2337
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 4: Stroud through. I think Will Levis was a bigger name

2338
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 4: as well c J. Stroud. Yeah, so that I believe

2339
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 4: the only one who didn't throw during that time was

2340
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 4: Bryce Young, the presumed number one pick similar to Freandam Mendoza.

2341
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, and I stayed for like the running backs

2342
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Nate Atkins, who now covers the

2343
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 4: Rams for the Athletic but was formerly covering the Colts,

2344
01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:53,320
Speaker 4: Andandy Starr. He took his class there. He was like

2345
01:54:53,320 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 4: an adjunct teacher at Butler, so I joined his class

2346
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 4: and kind of gave them the whole spiel. But I

2347
01:54:59,800 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 4: en way, and I do think it is a good

2348
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 4: The quarterback day is a good fan day. They enjoy

2349
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 4: that a lot.

2350
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, one o'clock tomorrow and like you said, fans can attend.

2351
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's not always been the case there, So yeah,

2352
01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: you got I think you check that out in the

2353
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 1: NFL's website.

2354
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:19,880
Speaker 4: But don't get caught sleeping like Aaron Glenn see that. Yea, Look,

2355
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:22,880
Speaker 4: my boy, you know I was thinking about this earlier.

2356
01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:24,880
Speaker 1: And we'll play some for Nanda Mendoza audio here in

2357
01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 1: just a second. But we've had two very well respected

2358
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: about draft analysts on the last two days. In the

2359
01:55:30,240 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 1: eight o'clock hour. I'm looking over at Dan Brugo right

2360
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 1: now from The Athletic. Dane mentioned us that if arch

2361
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,720
Speaker 1: Manning had declared for the draft, he feels like there

2362
01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,480
Speaker 1: would have been a real debate at number one for

2363
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 1: Nano Mendoza or Arch Manning. We just had Field Yates

2364
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,200
Speaker 1: on from ESPN an hour and a half ago and

2365
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 1: he called Mendoza the biggest lock to go number one

2366
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: overall in years.

2367
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:54,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you said a decade.

2368
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,600
Speaker 1: That's fascinating to me that if Arch Manning had declared

2369
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 1: and Dane did admit part of it is his last name,

2370
01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: but he would have potentially challenged enough to create that

2371
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 1: into being a real number one pick debate. But at

2372
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 1: the same time, without Arch, the gap between Fernando and

2373
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 1: I guess everybody else in this draft class, particularly at quarterback, yeah,

2374
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: is so big that you call him the biggest lock

2375
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 1: in over a decade.

2376
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 4: And to be honest, it also felt like that a

2377
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 4: bit last year with cam Ward because you would think, Okay,

2378
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:31,880
Speaker 4: if this were the Caleb Williams Jayden Daniels year and

2379
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,680
Speaker 4: they were all in that together, then cam Warred's probably

2380
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,120
Speaker 4: not the number one pick. And that's kind of a

2381
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 4: similar effect that I think FRENANNL. Mendoza has had on

2382
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:42,560
Speaker 4: this year's draft class. No fault of his own, the

2383
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 4: great year to have a great year, clearly, but I

2384
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 4: think it's lack of other quarterback talent in the class

2385
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 4: and just the one one hundred percent knee for the

2386
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 4: Raiders who start over at quarterback and get their guy.

2387
01:56:56,800 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 4: And also I think that for did himself a lot

2388
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:07,120
Speaker 4: of favors by making NFL level throws like I cannot

2389
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 4: tell you how many times in big moments as well

2390
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 4: that I was watching the game and I thought, that's

2391
01:57:13,720 --> 01:57:17,040
Speaker 4: a throw only a handful of quarterbacks in the country

2392
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 4: can make on a consistent basis. Because if you remember,

2393
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:22,920
Speaker 4: had Dante Moore left Oregon, he was supposed to be

2394
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 4: the consensus number two perhaps challenge.

2395
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe there would have been a little bit more, Yeah,

2396
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 1: but at.

2397
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 4: Least top five. I would say the gap between More

2398
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 4: and Fernando Mendoza as passers is a decent margin that

2399
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 4: would have still given for Nando the ultimate age mark.

2400
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: You said you pulled some Fernando Mendoz Audio. Is this

2401
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 1: in regards to cean Daniel Jones at the Super Bowl?

2402
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 6: Man brother?

2403
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 1: So this was from Fernando Mendoza's podium from earlier today.

2404
01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 6: It's great.

2405
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:55,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I can't thank the city of Indianapolis and the

2406
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 11: whole state of indian enough for the fantastic year.

2407
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 6: It's great.

2408
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't think the city of Indianapolis and the

2409
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 1: whole state of indian sounds like it's skipping a bit

2410
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 1: some of the little audio difficulties there. With the Heisman

2411
01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 1: Trophy winner, I thought the media throng around him. James

2412
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 1: was definitely big, the biggest I've seen this week, but

2413
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe not as insanely crazy as we've seen for some

2414
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, Mantitoes of the world, jameis Winston's of the world.

2415
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the other but Kyler Murray

2416
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:31,520
Speaker 1: had a huge one. Remember that that was the old

2417
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 1: baseball debate. Yeah, with Murray.

2418
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 4: I want to say that s dur last year had

2419
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 4: a huge But I think part of it is Fernando

2420
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:47,200
Speaker 4: isn't controversial, and I do think there's a certain like tabloids,

2421
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 4: like tabloid nature sometimes to how big someone scrum is

2422
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 4: versus the other when it comes to the media contingent.

2423
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 4: And honestly, he's not really a pick that a you're

2424
01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 4: concerned you doesn't have any character issues. You're not questioning

2425
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 4: his football acumen. So if you're just not interested in

2426
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 4: hearing a guy talk about ball, you want to hear

2427
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,360
Speaker 4: all the other side quest He may not be the

2428
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:14,520
Speaker 4: guy for you again.

2429
01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 1: Coming up later tomorrow, Fernana Mendoza will not throw at

2430
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine, but you will have quarterbacks on the

2431
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:24,080
Speaker 1: field over there. And we're starting to inch closer to

2432
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 1: some clarity on the Colts and some of these roster decisions.

2433
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:30,040
Speaker 1: Here a franchise tag window reminder that closes coming up

2434
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 1: Tuesday at four o'clock. And free agency officially begins a

2435
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaker 1: week from Wednesday, but really it's a week from Monday.

2436
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 1: Field Yates talked about that with us earlier. When you

2437
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:45,520
Speaker 1: get into that legal tampering period, you know, we say

2438
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:49,880
Speaker 1: that half jokingly, that's where that's where you start to

2439
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: get into some agreed to terms. I have noticed, you know,

2440
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:55,560
Speaker 1: I've gone to the bathroom. Once I went over there

2441
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:58,600
Speaker 1: to the Fernando Mendoza podium. People keep on looking at

2442
01:59:58,600 --> 02:00:01,320
Speaker 1: me today a little bit weirdly, and I keep on

2443
02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:03,680
Speaker 1: forgetting that I'm wearing a Hammon Bears shirt.

2444
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:08,160
Speaker 3: They probably think you're part of like the construction crew

2445
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:10,280
Speaker 3: or something like that. Like we're not joking around here.

2446
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:13,560
Speaker 1: The ESPN Chicago table keeps on looking at me.

2447
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:17,080
Speaker 3: Mark, Yeah, tell them to just point to him. Do

2448
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:19,280
Speaker 3: your alpha male and just pointing.

2449
02:00:19,360 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 4: Think you'd be a very famous person, or perhaps infamous

2450
02:00:23,080 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 4: person if you just drove up I sixty five a

2451
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 4: little bit.

2452
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Have we had any more clarity Mark on this?

2453
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:33,000
Speaker 3: All I've heard is that now in Chicago or Arlington

2454
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 3: Heights is of course back in play, according them to

2455
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 3: the governor and everything of Illinois.

2456
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 4: So I believe him.

2457
02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just make a decision, for God's sake. I'm

2458
02:00:42,560 --> 02:00:44,320
Speaker 3: so sick of this conversation.

2459
02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:46,760
Speaker 5: Just put. I don't care where it is.

2460
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 4: I know Mark, Illinois governor says the best place for

2461
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:52,960
Speaker 4: Bears is in Illinois. Wow, breaking news. But I agree

2462
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:55,200
Speaker 4: with you, brother, it is so convoluted and God bless

2463
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 4: the Bears reporters who have to deal with that. But

2464
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,880
Speaker 4: anytime there's like a legal e's involved, you know, we

2465
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 4: have to go through like.

2466
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:03,000
Speaker 1: The well, haven't some of them gone over to the

2467
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:04,040
Speaker 1: state House this week?

2468
02:01:04,160 --> 02:01:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Like that's when I'm like, when I became a

2469
02:01:06,360 --> 02:01:09,120
Speaker 4: sports reporter, I didn't think. I didn't envision this. I

2470
02:01:09,200 --> 02:01:10,240
Speaker 4: also felt like that when I had to go to

2471
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:12,560
Speaker 4: the courthouse for Mark Sanchez, that's another store for a

2472
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 4: different day.

2473
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:13,480
Speaker 7: Boy.

2474
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like Mark Sanchez got quite the dessert

2475
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:19,200
Speaker 1: menu at saying alm, I haven't been presented that before.

2476
02:01:19,320 --> 02:01:21,120
Speaker 3: Is that like the hidden menu like sometimes you go,

2477
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:23,400
Speaker 3: do they have the secret secret items? How do you

2478
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:26,600
Speaker 3: get that you have something in very specific order or something.

2479
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:29,040
Speaker 1: It's a good, good question. I don't know if he

2480
02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 1: brought in his own you know, I'll tell you this

2481
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,920
Speaker 1: and if you catch my drift there or how that.

2482
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:38,760
Speaker 4: All went down, if anybody's actually curious about that. His

2483
02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 4: court date is I believe the second week of March

2484
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:44,520
Speaker 4: right around this. I want to say, March eleventh.

2485
02:01:44,280 --> 02:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Are you still covering that? I mean, that's cult's freegency.

2486
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 1: That's a day of frenency, right, isn't the start of it?

2487
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I'll have free agency and I'll have Mark Santo's update.

2488
02:01:52,200 --> 02:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Perhaps jury trial set for that date. So interesting stuff,

2489
02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 1: to say the least interesting stuff. One more time on

2490
02:01:59,200 --> 02:02:03,520
Speaker 1: our most tost Likely my list was again most likely

2491
02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 1: to return to least likely, I went Daniel Jones, Alec Pierce,

2492
02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, Junior, Zire, Franklin, Nick Cross, your list, James.

2493
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:17,280
Speaker 4: Jones, Pierce, Franklin, Pittman.

2494
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Cross, So you and I flip flopped Franklin and Pittman

2495
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:23,000
Speaker 1: and Mark you had different You had Pittman a little

2496
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:23,920
Speaker 1: bit lower. Is that right?

2497
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,560
Speaker 3: I had Jones, Piers, Pittman, Cross Frankman.

2498
02:02:28,840 --> 02:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess we're all kind of in a

2499
02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:35,280
Speaker 1: consistent top two or three there. But defensively, and I

2500
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:37,080
Speaker 1: do think one of the takeaways we probably haven't hit

2501
02:02:37,080 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 1: on a lot this week. It does sound like the

2502
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:44,960
Speaker 1: first question I asked Ballad was do you view defensive

2503
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:48,480
Speaker 1: line this year like you viewed defensive back last year?

2504
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 8: Well?

2505
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 1: What do they do defensive backwise? They hammered it with

2506
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: a massive contract at Travarious Ward, a big contract to

2507
02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:58,280
Speaker 1: cam bind them, and then we forget they came back

2508
02:02:58,320 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 1: in the draft and drafted a corner around three. I

2509
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 1: mean they invested in the secondary last offseason massively. And

2510
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, Ballot, I don't know if he committed all

2511
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:11,440
Speaker 1: the way to a similar offseason with defensive line, but

2512
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I do think the front seven in general could get

2513
02:03:15,240 --> 02:03:17,480
Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe you don't have as much cap

2514
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 1: space to give the Ward buying them contracts like you did,

2515
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:26,000
Speaker 1: but I think they believe you swing pretty aggressively here

2516
02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:27,560
Speaker 1: in free agency in a week and a half, and

2517
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 1: you also come back in the draft, albeit without a

2518
02:03:29,480 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 1: first round pick, and try to do it in a

2519
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 1: similar fashion.

2520
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Interesting interested with it? Mark drop out? Huh did Mark

2521
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:41,800
Speaker 4: drop out?

2522
02:03:41,960 --> 02:03:43,240
Speaker 1: I did Mark drop out? I don't know.

2523
02:03:43,320 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 4: I was making sure you get me that easily. I

2524
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:48,360
Speaker 4: was just making sure brother, you know, went a little

2525
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 4: silent there for a second.

2526
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Every time you go silent, I still think back. He's

2527
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,360
Speaker 1: scrolling back to the old strip teas at seven o'clock.

2528
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:56,280
Speaker 3: I've got people popping in and out of the studio today.

2529
02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:58,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, leave me be me, barricade.

2530
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Does Mark's got some video to watch there from Kevin

2531
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Bowen going a little strip pease to start off the show.

2532
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:08,320
Speaker 1: All right, we'll close it out one finally, well freaky Friday. Right,

2533
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: we'll do one final time here. It is the Convention

2534
02:04:11,600 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 1: Center is our location. That is the Fan Morning Show,

2535
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:18,760
Speaker 1: live at the Combine. Alright, one final time here we

2536
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:22,720
Speaker 1: are live at the NFL Combine. This is the Fan

2537
02:04:22,800 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Moe Show, closing it out. Thank you to Chris Callinfield

2538
02:04:25,040 --> 02:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Yates for joining us earlier. Those will be both up

2539
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:34,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast page. Our poll results from Mark Dyton's

2540
02:04:34,040 --> 02:04:36,480
Speaker 1: poll from a little bit earlier in the show, very

2541
02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:40,600
Speaker 1: simple question, do you want to see Anthony Richardson traded?

2542
02:04:41,320 --> 02:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Yes or no? James, about seven hundred votes, We've got

2543
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:50,640
Speaker 1: seventy three percent with yes, so about three fourths of

2544
02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:55,760
Speaker 1: fans out there want to see Anthony Richardson traded.

2545
02:04:55,880 --> 02:04:58,800
Speaker 4: Though I am not surprised by that because I think

2546
02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:06,080
Speaker 4: it is the best solution for everyone involved. He has

2547
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 4: a right to want to play somewhere else, and I

2548
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 4: don't want to make it seem like it's all his fault, because,

2549
02:05:11,040 --> 02:05:13,240
Speaker 4: to be honest, Kevin, when I was going through all

2550
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 4: of the different avenues of how we got here, do

2551
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 4: you remember that fourteen day stretch where they benched Anthony

2552
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:28,400
Speaker 4: after the TapouT game and Shane Stikin said, I don't

2553
02:05:28,440 --> 02:05:29,960
Speaker 4: know if he could start again for this franchise. That

2554
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 4: was a question we asked him, and he said, well,

2555
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:35,480
Speaker 4: I can't see the future. And then the next question was, okay, well,

2556
02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:37,960
Speaker 4: is Joe Flaho the got for the rest of the year? Yes,

2557
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:40,360
Speaker 4: Joe Flacko's got for the rest of the year. And

2558
02:05:40,400 --> 02:05:45,000
Speaker 4: then literally two weeks later, he came right back out

2559
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 4: again if they benched Joe Flacon and put a ar

2560
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:50,160
Speaker 4: back in and said well, he's our franchise quarterback. So

2561
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 4: the flip flopping, the knee jerk reactions, we should have

2562
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:57,560
Speaker 4: started them, or we should not have started him. Then

2563
02:05:57,560 --> 02:05:59,000
Speaker 4: we didn't start him, and we put him right back

2564
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:01,200
Speaker 4: in if he wants to else where. I understand that.

2565
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:06,160
Speaker 4: And also from just an injury standpoint, once that was

2566
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:07,640
Speaker 4: solidified that they were going to open the door for

2567
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 4: someone else to come in because you couldn't stay healthy,

2568
02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:14,000
Speaker 4: and that guy became Daniel Jones, it was a deal done.

2569
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:16,360
Speaker 4: Then this is just semantics at this point.

2570
02:06:16,640 --> 02:06:18,640
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I was reminded of yesterday when

2571
02:06:18,680 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 1: you see the trade request news and you start to

2572
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 1: just think about, you know, we are now what just

2573
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:28,080
Speaker 1: one step away from Anthony Richardson's whatever Colts career are

2574
02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: Colts era if you will, being done. I was reminded

2575
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 1: back to the twenty twenty two season, where you know,

2576
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:40,920
Speaker 1: the Pacers are going through a season like this right now.

2577
02:06:41,800 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: I would argue the Colts twenty twenty two season was

2578
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:49,480
Speaker 1: much more of a self inflicted top five drafting team

2579
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 1: versus the Pacers. Obviously, so much of it is out

2580
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:54,720
Speaker 1: of their control with the injuries. But you go back

2581
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:56,760
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two for the Colts, James, they win

2582
02:06:56,800 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: four games. You go through the Jeff Saturday saga. You

2583
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:03,360
Speaker 1: get your ass kicked in Dallas in the fourth quarter

2584
02:07:03,360 --> 02:07:06,040
Speaker 1: where you allow thirty fourth quarter points. You blow the

2585
02:07:06,040 --> 02:07:09,600
Speaker 1: biggest halftime lead in NFL history in Minnesota as well,

2586
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:12,400
Speaker 1: you lose whatever it was, seventh straight to end the season.

2587
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,400
Speaker 1: You do all of that, all the suffering, all the embarrassment,

2588
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:20,120
Speaker 1: all the humiliation, you do that with a little bit

2589
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:23,680
Speaker 1: of light at the end of the rainbow. And that

2590
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: is the top five pick. That is the fourth overall

2591
02:07:25,920 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 1: draft pick that you got, that is drafting high in

2592
02:07:28,560 --> 02:07:30,440
Speaker 1: every round. You know, when you look at the Colts,

2593
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:32,720
Speaker 1: they've been stuck kind of in this purgatory, but like

2594
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:35,880
Speaker 1: that was strictly hell. They were in hell. But again,

2595
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 1: you draft fourth overall, you're drafting high in the second round,

2596
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 1: third round, fourth round, et cetera. You have an opportunity

2597
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:47,480
Speaker 1: to start the rebuild, to get a foundation together to

2598
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:50,960
Speaker 1: where you can build something. And if you look back

2599
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:57,480
Speaker 1: on that twenty twenty three draft, James, Anthony Richardson, Juju Brents,

2600
02:07:58,200 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Josh Downs, Blake Freelin, Tommy out of Barrow, it at

2601
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:08,160
Speaker 1: of bar A, Darius Rush, Daniel Scott, will Mallory, Evan Hall,

2602
02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:11,960
Speaker 1: Titus Leo, Jalen Jernes, Jake wit.

2603
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:15,360
Speaker 4: Boy. Those are some deep cuts.

2604
02:08:16,040 --> 02:08:17,960
Speaker 1: I'd argue it's the worst draft of the nine years

2605
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:20,680
Speaker 1: of ballad. And that's not even factoring in the weighted

2606
02:08:20,760 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 1: nature of your drafting high in each round. Yes, I

2607
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:25,840
Speaker 1: think just as a whole it's the worst draft. But

2608
02:08:25,920 --> 02:08:28,840
Speaker 1: then when you factor in you won four games the

2609
02:08:28,880 --> 02:08:33,280
Speaker 1: previous year, you're supposed to bounce back in a relatively

2610
02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:37,880
Speaker 1: you know whatever again, foundational way with that draft class.

2611
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Holy hell. Like, if I'm Carl ERSA. Gordon, you can

2612
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:46,360
Speaker 1: overlook if you want to, you can overlook the lack

2613
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:48,760
Speaker 1: of division titles, the lack of playoff appearances, the lack

2614
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:51,600
Speaker 1: of playoff wins. Fine, explain that to me.

2615
02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:57,640
Speaker 4: That is a hard pill to swallow, and honestly, it's

2616
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:00,760
Speaker 4: something we can definitely revisit. Had to be closer to

2617
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:05,400
Speaker 4: the draft, Kevin, because yeah, I think it adds to

2618
02:09:05,480 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 4: the overall resume of how many misses can you have

2619
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:15,760
Speaker 4: and still get chance after chance. I mean, you look

2620
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:17,760
Speaker 4: at the life of Chris Ballard here, and why I

2621
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 4: say life, I mean, like the kind of a play

2622
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:22,200
Speaker 4: on words where he had the nine lives through the

2623
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:24,120
Speaker 4: first nine seas, he's got a tenth, so he's more,

2624
02:09:24,800 --> 02:09:30,200
Speaker 4: you know, unkillable than a cat. But why did you

2625
02:09:30,200 --> 02:09:34,040
Speaker 4: get so much grace to begin with? Because there's numerous

2626
02:09:34,120 --> 02:09:37,160
Speaker 4: points throughout this process where you could have said it's

2627
02:09:37,200 --> 02:09:40,240
Speaker 4: time to move on. And honestly, most gms are not gyms.

2628
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:42,960
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, most team owners would have they would have

2629
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:45,200
Speaker 4: got a new GM by now. So I get that

2630
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:49,840
Speaker 4: it's complicated the Andrew luck factor, but man, six years

2631
02:09:49,840 --> 02:09:53,840
Speaker 4: removed from that and there are still not many results

2632
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:56,400
Speaker 4: or positive things. I mean, were you asked last year

2633
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:59,320
Speaker 4: on the show Kevin to him, what's your great accomplishment?

2634
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:03,280
Speaker 4: Go to go back twenty twenty twenty eighteen? The world

2635
02:10:03,400 --> 02:10:07,480
Speaker 4: was different back then. I would like to see where

2636
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:09,840
Speaker 4: certain players were in twenty twenty, Like what teams were

2637
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 4: they on?

2638
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: Dude, we're coming up on the one or on the

2639
02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:15,040
Speaker 1: anniversary of me. I went over to the Big Ten

2640
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:17,720
Speaker 1: tournament Michigan and Rutger are supposed to play at noon

2641
02:10:18,840 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 1: of the COVID week and I'm sitting in my media seat.

2642
02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a ghost town. Inside of Gambertia.

2643
02:10:23,840 --> 02:10:28,640
Speaker 1: They warmed up and then eleven forty maybe eleven forty

2644
02:10:28,680 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 1: five fifteen minutes on the countdown clock and they're like, yeah,

2645
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:34,560
Speaker 1: we're pulling you off the floor. And that was when

2646
02:10:35,080 --> 02:10:38,000
Speaker 1: the world ended. Rudy Gobert touching the mics.

2647
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,840
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I'll give you my vantage point. I was

2648
02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:46,480
Speaker 4: in the tiny gym of Gary twenty first century boys

2649
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 4: basketball team Donald Davis, a former Dusty May player out

2650
02:10:49,720 --> 02:10:54,160
Speaker 4: of Florida Atlantic. They were just when they're sectional. They

2651
02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:56,240
Speaker 4: were excited to try to go win state and I

2652
02:10:56,280 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 4: was sitting in their gym and we were That was

2653
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 4: the morning after the Roote Go Bear experience, and everyone

2654
02:11:01,200 --> 02:11:03,440
Speaker 4: was like, is the state tournaments so going to go on?

2655
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 1: And it right there, that's probably the group of people

2656
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I feel the worst for not to go down this path.

2657
02:11:09,920 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I guess we are. You know it will be topping

2658
