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

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

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: The Fan Plot.

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: Twist Indianapolis Colts did not cut anybody yesterday. People started

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: cutting themselves, retirements all over the place. Good morning everyone,

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: Welcome into Thursday. We got football later on tonight. Mark

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: dykedon Good Morning, Kevin Bowen, James Boyd. You guys are

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: both out at Colts camp yesterday. KB, we'll start with you.

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Just go ahead and deliver. If people haven't paid attention

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: or just getting up this morning, delivered the big news

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: out of Colts camp yesterday.

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Xavid Howard has retired from the NFL. That was

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: announced yesterday evening. He was not practicing yesterday due to

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: a personal matter is what it was listed at. And

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: then I don't know, probably an hour or two later,

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: the Colts announced that he was going on the reserve

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: retired list. He released a statement a little bit later

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: after that. We can get into his statement and everything. So, yeah,

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: certainly quite the news item. You don't see retires in

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: season very often in the NFL. Yeah, I think I've

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: made my stance pretty clear on the level plagu Xavian

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: Howard had through the first four games. I don't feel

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: the need to you know, reverse the car over him

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: here on this Thursday morning. In his statement he mentioned,

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: you know, being with his family, et cetera, et cetera.

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 3: You know, things like that. So certainly now we'll see

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: how the Colts try to whatever figure out their cornerback depth.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess big picture of the Colts just

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: should have vetted this a little bit more and not

30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: handed him a starting job day one when he walked

31
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: into the building. But outside of that, you know, predicting

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: retirements and things like that, probably he's difficult now.

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: So he's decided to walk away from the game that

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he loved. He said his family was more important.

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: We'll get some of that throughout the course of the show.

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: But he was not the only retirement announcement yesterday. James Boy,

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: we have more to share today.

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was just after our show ended.

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: I believe when the team sent out the announcement that

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: Shaq Lennard the Maniac will officially retire as a cult

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: he will return to Lucas Oil Stadium and have a ceremony.

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 5: I believe during halftime we'll meet with him as far

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 5: as media goes before the game, and so looking forward

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 5: to seeing Shaq back here.

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: I know when things ended.

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: He was hurt by how he was waived by the team,

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: but at that point he was not the great player

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 5: that he once was. But you know, I believe Zaire

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 5: Franklin was asked yesterday, like, you know, is this one

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 5: of those what if type of careers considering the Hall

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: of Fame trajectory he was on before the injuries, and

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: Zayer said, no, you know, he gave everything he had

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: to the game, which I don't doubt for a second,

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: and we'll hear more from Shaq in a couple of days.

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, that was I think a fitting in for

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: someone who should be, in my opinion, probably headed towards

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: the Ring of Honor someday.

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: They did want to ask you one question on Xavion

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: Howard in regards to the locker room on Sunday. We

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: didn't see him at all in the building of course yesterday.

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: It's not like he's a frequent necessarily locker room you know,

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: walker around her and chatting every Wednesday to the media.

63
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: But you did chat with him correct Sunday after the game, right, yes,

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: and locker room care to share what that experience was like.

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, first of all, he was not trying to talk

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: to us.

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: He was trying to get out the door, and we

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: were like, wait a second, you got to talk man,

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: Like you had a pretty poor game and we've been

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: waiting to talk to you, and you're trying to skate.

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: And so I could tell, you know, the bags were packed,

72
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: and you know he's just looking to say anything to

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: get away from us. And so the question that still

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: kind of rings in my head when I asked him,

75
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: can you assess your performance? And he simply said not

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: to my ability, And so that kind of stands out

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: to me as we sit here a couple of days

78
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: later and realize, oh, your career is now over. So

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: I know he gave a lot of statements about his family,

80
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 5: his kids, but I do wonder how much of his

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: level of play factored into that decision and how abrupt

82
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 5: it was, because again, you can think about your kids

83
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: and your future and your family all of that leading

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: up to signing a contract with the Colts, and so

85
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 5: you came here, you were good. I think after week

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: one I went to the Instagram page he had posted,

87
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: you know this basically video of him after the game,

88
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: hugging with all the former Dolphins players, perhaps even vindicated

89
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 5: that he won that game, had a fund of recovery

90
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: in that game. But then it went downhill from there

91
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: for Xavin Howard. So poor play plus him wanted to

92
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: be with his family led to him, I would imagine retiring.

93
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: So Zavian Howard has retired. Shack Leonard says he's retired

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: from the NFL. We'll talk a little bit more about that, Kevin.

95
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: I know you and I were in the press box

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: together back when Shack was just doing his thing, coming

97
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: into the league as a rookie and making an instant impact,

98
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: and just the range that he had, the hustle and

99
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: the big playability, just always punching at footballs, always around

100
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: the football, jumping up and grabbing an interception, jumping up

101
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: and tapping some football away like those first couple of

102
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: years before the injuries set in. It was electric to

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: watch him play on the football field.

104
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a word that I used all yesterday. And

105
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't think we talk about linebackers very much from

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: an electricity meter, if you will, but he was that.

107
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: I mean, how many big plays in the fourth quarters too,

108
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: not just like, hey, you're forcing a turnover. I could

109
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: think of just moments where the Colts had allowed whatever

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: a touchdown and two touchdowns in a row, and you're like, gosh,

111
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 3: unless Lenyard makes a play, they're screwed.

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 6: Sure enough, fifty three makes a.

113
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: Play, the interceptions, the force fumbles obviously, the punch out,

114
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: and boy, you think he'll bring some juice to the

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: old anvil coming up on Sunday. I think he'll be

116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: a little bit more energetic than maybe Edrin James was

117
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: in Week one banging the old anvil. There we'll get

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: to Zaiah Franklin told a great story yesterday in the

119
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: locker room about shack in him being roommates on the road.

120
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: And Leonard had an eighteen tackle game in his first

121
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 3: ever NFL road game, and let's just say his sleeping

122
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 3: arrangements the previous night not ideal for an NFL football player,

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: not ideal for anyone for that matter.

124
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 6: So I think this is really cool.

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: Like the Leonard thing ended awkwardly, it ended suddenly, It

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: ended mid season.

127
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 6: James.

128
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: It was the day of, if I'm not mistaken, the

129
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: day of his Thanksgiving meal delivery. I can remember being

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: over a near covenant Christian High School, and he stood

131
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: in front of those cameras with his you know wife

132
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: right there and answered everything about what had just transpired.

133
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: And this is a guy that was on a Hall

134
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: of Fame pathway with four All Pros in his first

135
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: four seasons. So great for the Colts. Great on the Colts,

136
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: I should say, great on Check Leonard for this happening.

137
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: You know, not everybody can go in the Ring of Honor,

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: but I think is a really cool way to honor

139
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: a player that I think, No, I think you need

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: some longevity with it. I'm a big believer when you

141
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: talk Hall of Fame, when you talk Ring of Honor,

142
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: I think there's a longevity component that's needed. But like,

143
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, a great, great football player, Like

144
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: I want to be really clear on that, and I

145
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: think this is cool. You get him in front of

146
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: the crowd and getting the anvilla and you know, for

147
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: four seasons here he was a world of a talent.

148
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: It's just unbelievable. So kudos to everybody involved from making

149
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: this happen. And in a game that probably lacks a

150
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: little bit of juice, Shaq Leonard will provide some of that.

151
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Let me ask you guys this question about Shaq Leonard

152
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: and the Ring from twenty fifteen to now ten year period,

153
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: namely the defender that has had more of an impact

154
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: when he played than Shack Leonard with the cults.

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 6: Oh well, probably none.

156
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I just I think that makes I

157
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: hear your longevity. But I also, like I said, those

158
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: those I know it was only what three three and

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: a half years, maybe four if you stretch it out,

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: like he was the guy that was the making the plays.

161
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: He was making game deciding plays. He was making impacts

162
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: almost every week.

163
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see both sides of it. I'm always

164
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: leaning more towards your peak. How good were you at

165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: your peak? And it was a very short peak, considering

166
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: that would imagine he wanted to play longer than that.

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: But I certainly see us even even in the text

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: line Shane h says, you know he does not belong

169
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: in the Ring of Honor, And I can see both

170
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 5: sides of it. But nevertheless, great player and really a

171
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 5: good person too. He was crazy as far as with

172
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: the media. The first guy ever got yelled at in

173
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: the NFL was Shaq Leonard.

174
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: Yelled at me, you don't bleed blue. At one point,

175
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: you don't bleed blue.

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 5: I think he told me to keep that same energy

177
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: after they beat the Chiefs in twenty twenty two. And

178
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: I can say this now, but did you see how

179
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: the season went. The energy was not kept the same

180
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: for the rest of that group. That was a rough

181
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 5: season for them. But nevertheless, he was someone who will

182
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 5: hold you accountable. He DM me one time on Twitter

183
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: to yell at me about something and then he like

184
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: apologized later that week about it. So he was a

185
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: very emotional guy. But also I mean I enjoyed it.

186
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 5: I like, he will bring their issue straight to you,

187
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 5: so you certainly didn't have to get That's where you

188
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 5: still with Shack. And to give him credit whenever he's

189
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: away from the facility, he wasn't really liked. I think

190
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: that was a different side of him because when I

191
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 5: saw him the day he got cut at that Thanksgiving giveaway,

192
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: the man you know, after that he just talked to

193
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 5: us like regular people and was asked what was going on.

194
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 6: I would always be struck by that day.

195
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: James and this really handled, honestly everything and obviously physically

196
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: he was dealing with a lot. I frankly thought he

197
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: should have taken the rest of the year off. He

198
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: joined the Eagles for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately it

199
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: didn't go well there he was at I don't know

200
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: if you saw that. He was at the Fever game

201
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: the other night, sitting I think it was actually right

202
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: behind Obie topping with his girl, So it was you know,

203
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: he's not living here, but it was cool to see,

204
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: you know him obviously still has a lot of affinity

205
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: and if you follow him on Twitter during Colt's games,

206
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: he's tweeted during games and he's still very much involved

207
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: in it.

208
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be fun to talk about him and

209
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: always been great in the community. But yeah, a couple

210
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,119
Speaker 2: of retirement announcements yesterday out of West fifty sixth. One obviously,

211
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: Shack Leonard is really not played for a bit and

212
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: wants to retire as a cope with the other one,

213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: Xavian Howard is like, yeah, I'm done.

214
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 7: I'm just done.

215
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: We were all talking about whether or not he should

216
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: benched where you should be playing next thing, you know,

217
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'm out. So I always kind of

218
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: respect that when.

219
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 4: A guy's like, yeah, I'm out.

220
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 8: Kevin, you want to explain your shirt this morning. That's

221
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 8: a cub shirt you're wearing. Did you lose a bet

222
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 8: that we did not make? What's going on there? I'm

223
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 8: very confused about your wardrobe decision today.

224
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 6: Mark amidst our roller coaster of a relationship.

225
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: I call you a friend and I'm here to support

226
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: you today.

227
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 8: I don't know if we want your bad juju jumping

228
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 8: over here to the north side.

229
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: Here, I am trying to be supportive and are you

230
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: not accepting it? Doing a game today where they have

231
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: to win to keep their season alive. My Reds today

232
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: are hungover. They are off to Cabo. They stink. They've

233
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: been dead for a month. The Mets were just deader

234
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: than them. The only wildcard team not to advance to

235
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: a third game, the Reds. I'm trying to They got

236
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: steam rolled once again last night by the Dodgers. So

237
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: here I am, Mark, trying to support you. That's purely

238
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: what I'm doing, trying to be a good friend.

239
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 8: Trying to think of the word that happened to the Reds.

240
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 8: They didn't win a game in the series, meaning they

241
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 8: got what would even be that word? They got swept

242
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 8: out of the playoffs. I thought it was only a

243
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 8: two game series though I know you're the two games things,

244
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 8: but that seems like that's the sweet my friend.

245
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: I was hoping for some relevant maybe Rick Carlisle audio

246
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: to describe one career of Tristan Thompson of you know,

247
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: maybe the Reds in the preseason or.

248
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: It was, uh, it was fun while it last year

249
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 4: they got you, buddy.

250
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: You could probably play that for maybe xavieron Howard's time

251
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 6: with the.

252
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 8: So the Reds get swept out of the playoffs in

253
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 8: two games, so it is possible to have a two

254
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 8: games sweep. Apparently, so Kevin needs to update his uh

255
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 8: over the years shirt thinking he's just gonna hop on

256
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 8: the bandwagon a team and I'm supporting a freaking verbal

257
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 8: all season long. Now you want to jump aboard the bandwagon,

258
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 8: we don't want your bad juju. I think you could

259
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 8: go throw on the Dodgers shirt or or something like

260
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 8: the Tigers or the Guardians. Your money's no good here.

261
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 8: You're not allowed on this cub's bandwagon. All of a sudden,

262
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 8: I don't know where that shirt came from. I have

263
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 8: very lot of questions. Or is that a purchased shirt.

264
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 8: Did you borrow it from a friend?

265
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 6: Came from the closet. I think it looks pretty good,

266
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 6: does it not. I don't seen a lot of wrinkles.

267
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 8: I'm just curious. I mean, I don't own any Reds

268
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 8: apparel now.

269
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 6: A lot of things in the closet fit very well

270
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 6: these days for me.

271
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: So all I know is apparently I'm not the only

272
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: PCA fan around here.

273
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 8: I was gonna say, you don't like Jeff's PCA, but

274
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 8: you see, I'm not a Cubs fan.

275
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 6: I'm here to support Mark.

276
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 8: Bad juju that is vibing in the studio this early.

277
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: And wants nothing to do with any of this.

278
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just disgusted looking at it.

279
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 6: I mean I'm disgusted with the rets. I mean, think

280
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: about it.

281
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: Yesterday, you see all these teams backs against their wall.

282
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 6: They deliver.

283
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: We get three game threes today, exactly what you want.

284
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: The only team not to stretch you to a game

285
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: four and outside of their they do it.

286
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 8: Just the start times for the games because the Reds

287
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 8: couldn't show up there.

288
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: I am you know Max Bones, you know whine and

289
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: I can't sleep, blah blah blah. I'm sitting next to

290
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: his bed, watching the Reds game at twelve oh one, thinking,

291
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: somehow in the eighth Any and TJ. Friedl strikes out

292
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: of the bases loaded. I mean, this is just tying

293
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: Run came to play this same thing in the sixth

294
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: bases loaded, no outs, just pathetic.

295
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're playing against a team with like a seven

296
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: billion dollar payroll.

297
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 3: Well, their bullpen stinks and the Reds couldn't touch it.

298
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 8: Well, I expect you to announce the Cubs lineup later today,

299
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 8: and who's the starting pitcher. I'm assuming you're gonna have

300
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 8: all that knowledge readily available to you a sudden yesterday,

301
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 8: Tony Bankster, is that Kevin Bowen here?

302
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: Whoever the padres threw out there, they did a nice

303
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: job against.

304
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: Your all right, we'll tell you all about that.

305
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: Apparently, in a moment, Brian's asking me if I'd like

306
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: to join the Guardians train. Brian, we'll see again. I'm

307
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: supporting my friend. It's disappointing to hear him not be

308
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: accepting of that.

309
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk all about it throughout the morning.

310
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 9: Here.

311
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: Let these two bicker back and forth during the break,

312
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: James wisely staying out of it over there. It's the

313
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Fan Morning Show ninety three five and one oh seven

314
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: to five of the Fan. Happy to welcome in our

315
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: next guest. I used to work with him at Sporting

316
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: News Radio. Brian Baldinger does just fantastic work all the time.

317
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: He posts his stuff on social media. Is one of

318
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: my favorite people to listen to when it comes to

319
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: why things work and why they're not working and who's

320
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: playing well in the National Football League. And he is

321
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: on the Payless Liquors Hotline right now. Good morning, Baldy,

322
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: how you been.

323
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, I'm doing good.

324
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: Good to be with you, guys, Always good to be

325
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: with you. So I guess first things first, like three

326
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: and one, Daniel Jones has played pretty well.

327
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 6: Are these cults for real? Are there is this something

328
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 6: that can sustain.

329
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 7: Well if they can find some corners? I mean, they're

330
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 7: cornerback short right now. That's an issue. It's an issue

331
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 7: around the league. It's not just Indianapolis. It's an issue though.

332
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously Xavin didn't work out and who could

333
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 7: put it two? But he had he you know, you

334
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 7: get a point nine years in his business. You can't

335
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 7: run quite like you want to run. And the way

336
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: he once did, and so now he's out and so

337
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 7: that's an issue. But I think they're for real. I

338
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 7: think uh, I think Daniels, you know, I mean, you

339
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: could take the interceptions by Cam Curle last week. Ones

340
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 7: at the end of the game, the one is is

341
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 7: a good deep shot. They certainly had their chances to

342
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 7: win the game. A couple of bone headed plays by

343
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 7: you know, some guys, But uh, I think they're for real.

344
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 7: I mean, that was a that's a good Rams team.

345
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 7: You're gonna see him tonight. They're very well coached. They've

346
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 7: got some star power on that team, a lot of

347
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 7: good young players and quarterback that's you know, still rolling

348
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 7: really strong. So yeah, I think the CULTU are for

349
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 7: real and Jacksonville's for real. And we'll see if Houston

350
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 7: could come out of the crypt right now. But I

351
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 7: think they're off to a good start.

352
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: Paudy, I know you were on the call, and thank

353
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: you for the time here on this Thursday morning. I

354
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: know you're on the call on Sunday and you saw

355
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and you know you hit on a little

356
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: bit right there. But what you've observed from Afar, I

357
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: guess the first three weeks and then in person on Sunday,

358
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: what do you make of what Daniel Jones and Change

359
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: Sichin have done through the first four weeks.

360
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 7: Well, he knows where he wants to go with the ball,

361
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 7: and he's very very certain about where he's going, and

362
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: he's very good at getting it there. You know, they

363
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 7: obviously could have won that game easily except for two

364
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 7: bad plays. But regardless of the offense makes a lot

365
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 7: of sensors. Ty Warren has made a big difference in

366
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 7: that offense. The offensive line has played really well. Jonathan

367
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 7: Taylor is on his game. I like the design, I

368
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 7: like the way getting guys open and a little creativity

369
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 7: to some of it. But I feel like Dangle Jones

370
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 7: is playing the best football he's ever played, and that

371
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 7: includes a year that they went to the playoffs. But

372
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 7: he's an elite athlete. He always was, you know, coming

373
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 7: out of Charlotte, coming out of the Duke, and he

374
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 7: still has all that ability, his ability to scramble to

375
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 7: extend plays, all that is there. But he's I think

376
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 7: he really knows what he's looking at here Andy, and

377
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 7: he can put the ball where he wants to put it,

378
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 7: you know, in tight spots, and it's been doing it

379
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 7: for the first month of the season. I don't think

380
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 7: that's going to change.

381
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 5: Wealdy, Are you surprised at all with how well he's

382
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: hit the ground here in Indianapolis just given the resume

383
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 5: with the Giants.

384
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, look, there's not a whole lot of

385
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 7: his guys that went to Duke that play played in

386
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 7: the NFL, so we kind of know each other and

387
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 7: pay attention. But I you know, I mean, I've always

388
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 7: pulled for the guy. He's always been a straight shooter

389
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 7: with me, and you know, we've always had a pretty

390
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 7: good relationship from afar, you know. But I you know,

391
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 7: I've been critical of Daniel before, Yeah, because I think

392
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 7: there was moments where, you know, he really was unsure

393
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 7: about what he was doing and it showed up on film.

394
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 7: But he's very very sure about what he's doing. So

395
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 7: that's that's the time that him and and uh, you know,

396
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 7: Shane are really getting along quite well. And and so

397
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 7: I think the town around him is as good as

398
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 7: it's ever been. And that includes what he had Saquan

399
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 7: and you know, some good play in New York, but

400
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 7: the talent round him is really good and so you know,

401
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 7: I think it now with Piersack will really help. But regardless,

402
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 7: it's the best I've seen him play. And that's just

403
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 7: just a short sample, it's one month. But he's very

404
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 7: very he's very confident about what he's doing.

405
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 4: Again.

406
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: Brian Baldinger joining us here on the Payofslickers Hotline, NFL Network,

407
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: Fox Sports, all of the above. Brian, when you look

408
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 5: at the way Tyler Warren has changed this offense, what

409
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 5: stands out to you and what do you like about

410
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: just the greediness of his blocking and things of that

411
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: nature that perhaps maybe go unnoticed as opposed to all

412
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 5: the catches in yards.

413
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 7: Well, you said it, I mean the gritties. I did

414
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 7: not know ty Warren. So I went to the pro

415
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 7: day in Penn State this year and I got a

416
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 7: chance to interview him and just watch him go to work.

417
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 7: I mean, the guy is he said, like, for example,

418
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 7: this is ty Warn. We wanted to get him for

419
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 7: the NFL networking an interview and he goes, Baldy, I'll

420
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 7: do it, but wait till everybody gets done. Like he

421
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 7: wanted to support all of his teammates at Penn State

422
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 7: and all the things they were doing and then he

423
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 7: would give us a few minutes. That kind of tells

424
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 7: you a little bit. He's all about team, but he's

425
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 7: just so versatile. He lines up at receiver, he lines

426
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 7: up in the backfield, they line up in the backfield

427
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 7: and they you know, they drive him through the line

428
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 7: and you know, link him out the back against Denver

429
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 7: for forty yards. He catches everything. He's good after to catch,

430
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 7: you know, on the Jonathan Taylor touchdown run that got

431
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 7: called back, you know, he's the lead blocker on the

432
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 7: play and he gets it done. He's not you know,

433
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 7: he's not John Mackey. He's not knocking guys on their back.

434
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 7: He's not ground. But I think he's going to get

435
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 7: her at it and he's he's he certainly makes a difference,

436
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: but you know, just just the versatility of what he

437
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 7: can do and the dependability and there's nothing like having

438
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 7: a six foot six monster in the middle of the

439
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: field to throw it to. And I think every quarterback

440
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 7: would welcome that.

441
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 6: Think you know that voice.

442
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: Brian Baldinger with us here on the Payloss Slickers Hotline

443
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: on this Thursday morning, and Baldy, the social media videos

444
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: you do and breaking down some film are electric every

445
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: single week. I am maybe a little biased. Some of

446
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: my favorites are when you get going on a good

447
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: Quintin Nelson pancaker too. Yeah, where does that rank for

448
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 3: you good Quintin Nelson film breakdown in terms of your energy?

449
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 7: He would have been there this week because he had

450
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 7: a great pancake on. I believe it was Braydon Fisk

451
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 7: on Jonathan Taylor's touchdown runn I get called back, but

452
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 7: he had a great block there. Yeah. I think, Look,

453
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 7: he's he's had to play with a new left tackle,

454
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 7: he's guy had a new center in Bordolini. It doesn't

455
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 7: really matter. I mean he's still and I talked him

456
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 7: a little bit more the game on Sunday. I feel

457
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 7: like right now he's probably as healthy as he's been

458
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: in the while, and it does show like his power

459
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 7: is still there. His attention to detail is still there.

460
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 7: But you know, good pancake from Quinton is right there

461
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 7: at the top of my not just the top of

462
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 7: the videos that I do every week. It's it makes

463
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 7: my life better when I get to watch that, you know,

464
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 7: like I just hit in a better moods.

465
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: Nothing like watching a human road greater. Brian I'm just curious,

466
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: what are you saying from defensively the Cults under lou

467
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: an Aroma, what's been different?

468
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 7: Well, I think they've been better, you know. I know

469
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 7: Kyron had a couple of good runs last week, but

470
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 7: I think they've been better against the run. The run

471
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 7: fits I look look better. I feel like I feel

472
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 7: like he's got just a monster and deforce Buckner, you know,

473
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 7: and he hadn't had a really really great three sneak

474
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 7: in a while. But I just feel like the run

475
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 7: fits will be better and Lou. I talked to Lou.

476
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 7: I mean, he lives right down the block for me

477
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 7: in Florida, you know, whenever he's home. But you know,

478
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 7: I talked to him on the field before the game,

479
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 7: and I think he was really nervous about Pukafont, to

480
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 7: be honest with you, but uh, you know, I think

481
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 7: that so just gonna be very sound. No, the quarterback

482
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 7: situation is a problem for any coordinator. I feel like

483
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 7: they're gonna be really sound about what they're doing and

484
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 7: how they go about it. He's a great coach and

485
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 7: he's a he's an excellent play caller. He gets He's

486
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 7: had some big moments in big games where his the

487
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 7: pressures that he's using, or how he's attacking third downs,

488
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 7: it's it's unique. He has a unique way of attacking offenses.

489
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 7: And I thought for most of the part on Sunday

490
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 7: up until the at well, you know, touchdown, I thought

491
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 7: he did a good job of even though Puuk had

492
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 7: a big game of really containing that offense, that didn't

493
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 7: really explode him.

494
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 10: Yep, we lost him.

495
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 7: And I think I think Zayer Franklin's gonna have another

496
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 7: monster year. Like his linebackers will make a lot of tackles,

497
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 7: so he's off to a good start. He likes it,

498
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 7: he likes the new changes. I talked to Zaira before

499
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 7: the game, but he's you know, he's a unique player

500
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 7: in that he can find the football anywhere on the

501
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 7: field and then do something about it. So I think

502
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 7: this thing is I think they found the right guy.

503
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 7: I thought they were I don't know. I thought they

504
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 7: were very vanilla, you know, the guss and some of

505
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 7: the things that they were doing. I think this is

506
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 7: going to be a little bit more creative.

507
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 5: So, Baldy, the last one I have for you, and

508
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 5: this is kind of serious, but not very serious.

509
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 4: Well, what's the set up when you're breaking down film.

510
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: Because when I see that clicker going and you're it

511
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 5: looks like you're in a cave somewhere.

512
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: It's dark, and all I see is a screen.

513
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 5: So can you break us or give us a breakdown

514
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 5: of your setup when you're breaking down film?

515
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 7: Well, I mean at the NFL Films, I just called

516
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 7: the bubble. I might talk to the people in the

517
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 7: in the dining hall that are making lunch and breakfast

518
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 7: and dinner, but other than that, it's it's just me

519
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 7: and the projector and the clicker. That's it. I don't

520
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 7: answer the phone. I just tweet things out, you know,

521
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 7: or put things on social media as I see fit.

522
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 7: And I'm literally there for fifteen hours every Monday and Tuesday,

523
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 7: just try to I figure, if I'm entertaining myself, then

524
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 7: I'm going to entertain the other people that are watching,

525
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 7: whether it's players or guys like yourself, or you know,

526
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 7: some some widow in Berlin, Germany. Maybe who knows, but uh,

527
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 7: you know, I'm just I'm just trying to entertain myself

528
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 7: and and things that catch my eye. I figure if

529
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 7: it catches my eye, maybe it will do the same

530
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 7: to whatever audience is out to and.

531
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: If you're having a bad day, you dial up number

532
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: fifty six in the blue and white.

533
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: There you go.

534
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I don't have many bad days, but

535
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 7: if I'm you know, having a rough moment, like I

536
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 7: I don't know how this social media thing works, or

537
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 7: you know, something's got downloading the way it's supposed to,

538
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 7: and I get frustrated. You know, I'll just put a

539
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 7: little big cue on them. And I like it.

540
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: Simple man, reoklick.

541
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 6: Where we talking about that last thing?

542
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: For me too? Like, can we give some flowers to

543
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor because even when he gets into the open,

544
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: open field, oftentimes that guy at the second level is

545
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 2: the first guy to greet him is not making the tackle.

546
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: He's been unbelievable.

547
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, he has been great, man. He's uh, you know,

548
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 7: you know he's from New Jersey's a Jersey guy live

549
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: in Jersey too, and uh, you know he's from Salem,

550
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 7: New Jersey. And there's nothing going on in Sale, New Jersey.

551
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 7: Nothing and uh and that was by design. His dad.

552
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 7: I don't know if you know his dad. His dad's

553
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 7: a character. His dad's a bodybuilder. He's got the biggest

554
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 7: set of pipes on any man I've seen since Arnold Schwarzenegger. Maybe,

555
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 7: but his dad played for the Jersey Generals, and his

556
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 7: dad evidently, I mean, is his dad telling me this

557
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 7: that you know, he was having too much fun out

558
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 7: there while he played, and it probably cut his career short.

559
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 7: And he didn't want that to happen to his son

560
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 7: growing up. So he purposely moved to like just the

561
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 7: deadest spot in all of New Jerseys where there's no distractions.

562
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 7: And I just feel he's raised the right way. He's

563
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 7: a great kid. He's also a great star. He's healthy,

564
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 7: the line's playing good. You know, he's breaking fifty yard

565
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 7: runs and some of them get called back, but you

566
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 7: know he's he's all this game right now. He'll compete,

567
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 7: you know, for that rushing title again this year.

568
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: A lot of fun. Good to catch up with you again, buddy.

569
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: Stay tuned and stay stay on top of all that film.

570
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: It's amazing to watch. I love it every day. Keep

571
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: it going.

572
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 7: I appreciate it, man.

Speaker 11: If I dropped my phone in the toilet. I will

600
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 11: tell you straight up, I dropped my phone in the toilet.

601
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 6: That did not have a man of integrity.

602
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: Tony's Okay, Tony, your schedule on Tuesday of this week,

603
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: can you walk us through your I guess it was probably,

604
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. Was it about a thirty six hour period?

605
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: It will walk us through PACER practice, flight time to Vegas,

606
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 3: flight back from Vegas, and you're back at PACER practice yesterday?

607
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: It was only like, well, I guess.

608
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 11: If you count both practices, about a twenty four hour experience.

609
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 11: They practice at twelve thirty Tuesday is their first one,

610
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 11: so I wanted to be there. Left a little early

611
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 11: because my flight was at two thirty. Flew through Dallas

612
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 11: to Vegas. I landed about thirty minutes before the game,

613
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 11: so barely made it on time Game five of Aces Fever,

614
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 11: and then an eleven thirty pm Radye threw Atlanta back

615
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 11: here that I got home at about ten ish, and

616
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 11: then they practice at twelfth pages practice at twelve thirty.

617
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 6: Unbelievable. That is wild to me. Were you scheduled to

618
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 6: land thirty minutes before tip? Or was that a delay?

619
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 9: No, the slight delay.

620
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, I was trying to get there like four forty

621
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 11: five I think was the original time you gained so

622
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 11: much time with time changes in the.

623
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 7: Air that it's possible to do this right. But you

624
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 7: can work as well. If you're playing is stuck on

625
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 7: the ground.

626
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: You are insane. Brother, God, I don't think I don't

627
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: think you deserve much credit at your job.

628
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 7: Do your job.

629
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 6: You did your job, unbelievable.

630
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 10: I agree with that. Chance.

631
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 11: The thing is, I can sleep so easily on planes

632
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 11: that like it's I get that, it's like not comfortable,

633
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 11: but it worked well because of that.

634
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 5: See, I told you it's a skill on you, guys. Guys

635
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 5: this all the time.

636
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 6: You guys got a special good when you lived.

637
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: The NBA life like Tony, you got to be able

638
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: to see all.

639
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

640
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 6: I guess it's probably bred into you.

641
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Honestly, after a few games, Tony's latest Stadianna fever fought

642
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: to the end and they did it together. Next tube

643
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: dot com where you can find that great, great stuff

644
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: from Tony. I do want to ask you about Tuesday Night,

645
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: just briefly. It was eerie watching.

646
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 6: It on TV.

647
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about the Kelsey Mitchell scene, the towels

648
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: over her, the stretcher out. I'm not gonna lie for

649
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: a brief second there, I thought, is this like a

650
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: DeMar Hamlin situation? Like what what's going on? They went

651
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: to commercial, which probably didn't help the situation of like

652
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: the unknown, and if I remember correctly that at the

653
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: ESPN went to commercial pretty you know, quickly right after

654
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: the Hamlin thing, once they knew something was super serious.

655
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: They kind of got their ducks in order. What was

656
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: it like in arena?

657
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's uh.

658
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 11: It was really bizarre because she was like fine, you

659
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 11: know the play that had happened. She was involved kind

660
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 11: of defending the action, and Ahiah Boston committed.

661
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 10: Her fifth foul.

662
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 11: So I wasn't even looking at Kelsey Mitchell, but she

663
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 11: was like walking away from the play. And then all

664
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 11: of a sudden, someone's like, who is that?

665
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 7: And I thought, who's that?

666
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 11: What on the ground what? And there's Kelsey Mitchell surrounded

667
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 11: by towels. I didn't even know who the player was

668
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 11: for much of the exchange, and so it was really

669
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 11: kind of alarming and scary for a second because you

670
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 11: don't know how that happens. And then you only get

671
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 11: to see one replay and she just kind of has

672
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 11: her leg give out, like to me the I don't

673
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 11: know if you guys remember this act, Like I kind

674
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 11: of thought of Victor Oladipo when he just blew his

675
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 11: leg out with his really long injury, and I said,

676
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 11: oh man, is this a quad? Is this whatever? But

677
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 11: a very scary moment when that happened. The towels are

678
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 11: always alarming, and of course the stretcher Leah Bostin's crying

679
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 11: like in Arena. It was just so shocking because I

680
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 11: had no idea what happened, Like there was no contact

681
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 11: on the play, she wasn't running and something gave out.

682
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 11: It just happened and a raft had to kind of

683
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 11: guide her to the ground. As we've seen today, it's

684
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 11: like maybe a good scenario situation, but also so maybe not,

685
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 11: because what gets you to the issue that she had

686
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 11: sometimes can be like also alarming or maybe a sign of.

687
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 7: An issue with your kidneys.

688
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 11: But at least as of right now, if it's something

689
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 11: like not super scary, maybe she could still keep playing

690
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 11: pretty soon. So it's scary and alarming when it happens.

691
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know if anybody caught this. For

692
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: as much grief as we've been given WNBA officials, and

693
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: a lot of it earned this year. The official that

694
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: was standing next to Kelsey, she kind of reached over

695
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: and grabbed his arm. He immediately knew something was wrong.

696
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: I give him a lot of credit because he very

697
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: carefully and gently kind of helped her lay down on

698
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: the ground. I don't know if you saw that, Tony,

699
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: but I thought, you know, forget being a referee and

700
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: a basketball player, he was just a human being at that.

701
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: Point in time.

702
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, you know, and I got you got to

703
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 11: give him credit to like have the wherewithals to know

704
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 11: that a player is saying help specifically to you, right

705
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 11: and actually be involved in that moment. And thankfully the

706
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 11: game was kind of at a stut or slowed down point,

707
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 11: but yeah, that was just a scary, alarming sequence that.

708
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 11: And then if you're a teammate, you know, you don't

709
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 11: know what happened. The towels are out, like very serially

710
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 11: similar to the pacers in that you know, like you

711
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 11: got to keep playing. It's a huge game, but you

712
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 11: just saw what happened to your teammate, and there muscles

713
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 11: like you got to find a way to fight through

714
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 11: it somehow. And I think that was hard for everybody

715
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 11: to do, even if just for a few moments because

716
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 11: they got back into the game. Obviously they got it

717
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 11: to overtime, but you know, if you have a bad

718
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 11: two minutes in a game like that, that's just it

719
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 11: was really crushing and it was sad for everybody. So

720
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 11: just a huge bummer. And then Arena, it was even

721
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 11: scarier because we had no idea what happened.

722
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 7: Or how it happened.

723
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I believe Kelsey came online yesterday and revealed

724
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 5: that she had and I hope I say this correctly.

725
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 5: Rob dom ulosis robb domialysis robbed domilis is a dinosaur.

726
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds it pretty rough, and it says

727
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 5: it's a condition when muscle cells break down and release

728
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 5: a protein into the bloodstream, which can be very bad

729
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: for like your kidney and the rest of your body.

730
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: And so just to give some addic context, they're like, yeah,

731
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 5: it was severe cramping, but it wasn't just cramps, Like

732
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 5: it wasn't just okay, go get some water and you'll

733
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 5: be fine, because I was thinking, oh, okay, like did

734
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: she not drink enough fluids throughout the day. It was

735
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 5: the you know, the vegas heat getting to.

736
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 4: Her or something like that.

737
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 5: But it was obviously more than that, and so she

738
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 5: basically said she played until the wheels fell off, Tony.

739
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 5: So to have that diagnosis, to have it get treated,

740
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 5: and to have her a season kind of end like that.

741
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 5: What'd you think of post the injury? How the team

742
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: rally to push that game into overtime?

743
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

744
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 11: I got a kick out of her saying that wheel

745
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 11: till the wheels fall off part. But yeah, you know,

746
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 11: credit to them for I mean, that was the story

747
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 11: of their whole season, right. They would get to a

748
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 11: situation where it's like there's no way they can keep winning, right,

749
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 11: and then they would and then that game to lose

750
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 11: her and need to rely on Shan Paddy and Honesty

751
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 11: Sims to the extent they did, and then losely of

752
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 11: Boston due to foul trouble and have to rely on

753
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 11: Free Turner and Mikhaela Simpson to the extent they did.

754
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 11: I'm gonna I don't know about you, guys.

755
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 7: I thought it was over right.

756
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 11: I thought I was like, Oh, there's no way that

757
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 11: they can do it with this crew available, But like,

758
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 11: who am I to say that?

759
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 7: I watched the Fever all year?

760
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 11: Like the way they were able to battle back was remarkable.

761
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 11: They had the ball in a tie game in overtime

762
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 11: at one point, like they could have taken the lead,

763
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 11: what that crew they had available, It was just it

764
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 11: was so impressive that they could do this. It was

765
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 11: such a testament to what Stephanie White's been able to do.

766
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 11: And you know, obviously to bumbed that they lost in

767
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 11: this in the way that they did and in that setting,

768
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 11: but it was just so impressive that they were able

769
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 11: to keep fighting like that.

770
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 2: Tony, thanks as always for stopping by. We'll be talking

771
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: to you quite a bit as the PACER season rolls

772
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 2: out and starts up. And we were glad you're home

773
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: safe and sound after all that travel and get some

774
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: rest now.

775
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Rice, and thank you full of rice, Tony for

776
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: the phone, all right, and a hair drug.

777
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: Never have to wait very long for an NFL game

778
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: After a Monday night contest. We are a couple of

779
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: Monday night contests this past week. We turn our attention

780
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: out of Thursday night football for the Rams and the

781
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: Niner comes your way tonight.

782
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 6: I'm not sure I call what we saw Monday night football.

783
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 10: I don't know.

784
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: Twenty eight three will take it at least there's a win.

785
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: Was not a not a fun game to watch, There's

786
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: no question, I.

787
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 6: Say, Floral, I don't know if Juds Dolphins was much better.

788
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But we're getting ready now for Colts

789
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: and Raiders coming up on Sunday afternoon. It's NFL seemingly

790
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: all the time, every day now, and we are happy

791
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: to be joined by Joel a Ericson, who covers the

792
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: Colts for the Indie Star and as also, as Mark

793
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 2: was talking to him during the break, there might be

794
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: Brewers fan number one. You might be number one on

795
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: that fan list right there, number one in Indiana.

796
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 3: I think, Joel, reveal what you sent me the other

797
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: day about your Brewers fandom.

798
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, you're a sick home the Milwaukee Journal setting I'll

799
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 12: put out a sporkle quiz and they said, can you

800
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 12: name all fifty five people who have played for the

801
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 12: Brewers this season?

802
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 10: And I got fifty four?

803
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 7: Right?

804
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 9: Whoo?

805
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: I mean, Joel, you strike me. You strike me as

806
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: a wonderful husband, a wonderful father. But damn man, your

807
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: wife's got to look in the mirror right now.

808
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 6: Unbelievable.

809
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 13: Fifty four fifty five?

810
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: Were you mad? You didn't get to one.

811
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh yeah, I was curious Drew Drew Avins. I

812
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 10: remember when he hit. I remember the fact by he

813
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 10: hitting the one game he played see Minico.

814
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 7: Are you?

815
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: Are you also like me? You still look at the

816
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: box scores every day?

817
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 10: I don't.

818
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 9: I mean yes, but I watched so many games that, like,

819
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 9: I kind of know the box scores.

820
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: For being honest, I've sat behind Joel where he has

821
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 3: done the score book during a day game. You know

822
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: he has he has the score book and he just

823
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: sits there in his lap like he's, you know, seventy

824
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 3: four years old at Wrigley on the day game, Joel,

825
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: Little real quick, Joel.

826
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 8: If your team were to get eliminated in the playoffs,

827
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 8: are you wearing another team's shirt the next day and

828
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 8: just like riding with them to the World Series.

829
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 6: Well, now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't

830
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 6: say I'm riding with anyone.

831
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 8: You're wearing a Joe Madden Cub shirt. List morning, Joel.

832
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 3: Again, you strike me as a wonderful husband, wonderful father.

833
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 6: I consider you a friend. I am literally supporting my

834
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 6: friend Mark Dyton today.

835
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: I am trying to be a good friend, I would

836
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 3: imagine today's stressful. You just got shut out. You had

837
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 3: a chance to move on, maybe face a team of

838
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 3: note to Joel a Ericson in the next round, and

839
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 3: instead you have to face elimination today. So I would

840
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: consider today a stressful time to be a fan. And

841
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: so I am simply supporting Mark Dyton with a try

842
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 3: not to suck Joe Madden glasses shirt and considering Kevin's

843
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: track record of sports teams in the Year of Our

844
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: Lord twenty twenty five, with Notre Ding getting smoked in

845
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: the National Championship, the yeah, that was not necessarily love

846
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: for your Cubs to be one of those standing here.

847
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 8: We've got we've got speedo bets that have fallen flat

848
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 8: because every time Kevin puts his h puts chips in

849
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 8: on a team, they fall flat. So I'm a bit

850
00:37:58,719 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 8: nervous today.

851
00:37:59,480 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 6: Shut the hell.

852
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 9: This this is a SE's that's the that's the elimination

853
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 9: game baseball playoff nerves coming out of Mark dykeen right theres.

854
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so true.

855
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 3: I know I'm not going to you know what, I'll

856
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 3: be the bigger man Joel.

857
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna hold him to this standard.

858
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: On October second, we'll just move on.

859
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 4: Did you clone me or something?

860
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is totally what I would do, But man,

861
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 5: you are on troll a thousand right now.

862
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: Essentially give Mark a pass by saying, hey, do you

863
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: know what he's going through today?

864
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 10: Ye, baseball playoffs?

865
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 7: For hell?

866
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 6: I know, I trust me. There's part of me it's

867
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 6: glad it's over. I never got to the stressful period.

868
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 6: It was like, well, if that.

869
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: Runner gets on and then that batter does this, and

870
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: then maybe you can cut the deficit to three.

871
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 6: And you know, I never got to the stress.

872
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 8: Well, and if the Cubs do lose, Joel a couple

873
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 8: of training camps ago. I think Kevin wore one of

874
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 8: your Brewer shirts. He's gonna need that again because he's

875
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 8: gonna jump on the Brewers bandwagon.

876
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 6: I'm a little nervous if I could fit in that.

877
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 10: I want to.

878
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: Nickname him Bernie for the for the remainder of the playoffs.

879
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 6: That that happened, I was quite distressful a day for

880
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 6: me racking that shirt. Joel A.

881
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 3: Rickson from the Star went to see on the Payless

882
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: Slickers hot line.

883
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 6: I believe it's upcoming. We tweeted the or we at

884
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 6: tease a.

885
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 3: Little bit earlier, Joel uh coming to any star here

886
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: in the next day or so? Could you let our

887
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: audience in on where you consume the first half of

888
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: Colts Rams on Sunday. Not because beer, it wasn't.

889
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 10: It wasn't Colts Rams.

890
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 7: I was.

891
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 10: I was at so far for all of Colts Rams,

892
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 10: but the.

893
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 9: Early games, early games, sorry, the early games. I spent

894
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 9: the early games at Fox Studios in Los Angeles with

895
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 9: Mike Pereira, who I think most fans know as the guy.

896
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 10: Who explains what the refs are.

897
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 9: Thinking and sometimes tells us when they're wrong. Uh In

898
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 9: in the command center at Fox Studios. It was pretty cool.

899
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 9: It was very very cool. Also, there's way more going

900
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 9: on there than I ever realized.

901
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 4: Can you elaborate?

902
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 9: You look, so you see Perera come on, you know,

903
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 9: once or twice a game.

904
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 10: Maybe I know he was on in the Colts game

905
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 10: the other day. He is.

906
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 9: They see every call in every game. Somehow, there's four

907
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 9: guys in the command center. They are all kind of

908
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 9: going looking at all these different screens. There's one specifically

909
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 9: for Perira.

910
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 10: That they put big calls on.

911
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 9: But then there's also like eight screens to the sides

912
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 9: of that where they can see the other games, and

913
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 9: you would think they would miss stuff. They don't miss

914
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 9: anything they see like holds in false starts being a

915
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 9: tiny screen and you're not paying attention to it.

916
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 10: And then the other thing I think.

917
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 9: That sticks out is just a lot of what Perra does,

918
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 9: more of what Para does than coming on screen and

919
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 9: telling us what happens, is he will reach forward and

920
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 9: press a little button that goes to the producer to

921
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 9: whichever city and just kind of say what the call is, Like,

922
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 9: you know, hey, that's a hook and hold right there.

923
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 9: That's why they called that passage year into that hold.

924
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 9: And then when when you're watching a game and you

925
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 9: hear a broadcaster say give you an explanation and a rule,

926
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 9: a lot of times that's Pereira talking through the producer.

927
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 9: So it's it's way more.

928
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 10: Involved than I ever thought.

929
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 9: I had a headset on for a little while listing

930
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 9: to all the producers coming to the year.

931
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 10: I don't know how you do that without going crazy.

932
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 10: It was really cool. It was a really really neat

933
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 10: thing to do.

934
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: So how many how many people are actually in that

935
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 2: room and what are the discussions like when they are

936
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 2: kind of picking over a call there.

937
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 10: Well, it's it's it's really fast. That's the first of all,

938
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 10: there's four of them.

939
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 9: There's Parreira, there's their rules analyst, and then there's two producers,

940
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 9: and it has to be really fast.

941
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 10: Like one of the calls he was doing the uh

942
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 10: he was.

943
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 9: Serving as the rules analyst for the europe game and

944
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 9: it was right after I walked in and I timed

945
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 9: it on my recorder. He the call. The play happened

946
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 9: in a minute and fifty six seconds later. Parreira has

947
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 9: to be on knowing exactly what he thinks about the

948
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 9: call without having, you know, the sixteen camera angles that

949
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 9: they have in New York, they only have the live

950
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 9: broadcast angle, so a lot of it is really fast

951
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 9: where they're like one guy is suggesting, hey, did he

952
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 9: get his feet in?

953
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 10: And the other guy is saying did he bobble it?

954
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 10: And then you have them.

955
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 9: Pereira answering that stuff along with the other rules an

956
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 9: list and then they're suggesting more stuff and then they're going, okay,

957
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 9: we need a camera angle for.

958
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 10: This, Hey we need Mike on Okay, we he got Mike.

959
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 9: We've got Mike ready, but he hasn't seen a replay

960
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 9: yet where he can see anything yet, So hold on,

961
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 9: hold on, and then boom, he's on TV and then

962
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 9: he's off, and then you're going right back to the

963
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 9: next game if it's a multi game situation.

964
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 10: That's the other thing.

965
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 9: I was only there on a day when they had

966
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 9: two Fox games in the early window.

967
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 10: He said the week before that they had five Fox.

968
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 9: Games in the early window. And he's helping all of

969
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 9: those producers and all of that broadcast talent understand the

970
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 9: rules all at once.

971
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 5: So basically, Joel, all I'm hearing is that you didn't

972
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 5: have the guts to walk in there and tell them, Hey,

973
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 5: this call that ruined my team years ago.

974
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 4: You should have been there.

975
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 5: To correct this, because I feel like every fan in

976
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 5: America would love the opportunity to tell him, you know what,

977
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 5: bleep bleep bleeped at replay, whatever your interpretation of it was,

978
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 5: that was a catch.

979
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 9: So well, the interesting thing is that the interesting thing

980
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 9: is that Pereira knows the rule books so well that

981
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 9: he a lot of times if you're watching the broadcast.

982
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 10: You kind of you'll hear and you'll see it. I mean,

983
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 10: I know, James, you've seen it con in Colts games.

984
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 10: Were like they'll make a call and then a bunch

985
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 10: of fans.

986
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 9: Will say, hey, Mike Pereira or whoever. The ref on

987
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 9: the broadcast said that this was the wrong Paul. And

988
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 9: that's interesting too, because yeah, some of their rules knowledge.

989
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 9: Like hearing him and Steve Strimling talk to the rules

990
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 9: as they're going was wild because they're like getting into

991
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 9: stuff that I never consider. And he said, you know,

992
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 9: another big part of what they do is educating the

993
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 9: broadcasters because they can't the broadcasters. James me, Kevin, we

994
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 9: can't be expected to understrule, he said. He said, you

995
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 9: can't be expected to understand the rule book that I've

996
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 9: been reading literally for decades.

997
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 3: It's Joel Ericson from A and Apple Star that'll be

998
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 3: up on The Star's website, hopefully in the next day

999
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: or so. Looking forward to that full piece Joel gets

1000
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: to work from.

1001
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 6: Joel, Oh no, no, it's it's done.

1002
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 9: Indiana sports scene will not quit. Yes, we keep looking

1003
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 9: for a police to let it go, and something keeps happening.

1004
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of quitting and xaviing Howard that news yesterday

1005
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: retiring from the NFL. I mean way, I was sitting

1006
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: there on a platter. Unlike the Reds. I'm not actually

1007
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 3: gonna hit the ball there speaking uh Joel, let's start

1008
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 3: there with you know, I I asked James Voyd this

1009
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: to lead off the show. I didn't of course, we

1010
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 3: didn't see how to practice yesterday. It was listed as

1011
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 3: a personal matter. I didn't catch him in the locker

1012
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 3: room either. You guys, did I think see him in

1013
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 3: the locker room after Sunday's game?

1014
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 6: Did you get I don't know, did you get any

1015
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 6: vibe that this was even a possibility.

1016
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 9: He so in to the Denver game When we got

1017
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 9: him on the Monday after, I thought that there was

1018
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 9: a difference in the interviews he did.

1019
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 10: He was a little bit hard to get.

1020
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 9: I think, you know, the colch cr staff did a

1021
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 9: really good job making sure he didn't, you know, kind

1022
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 9: of escape on us, want to talk to us. Yeah,

1023
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 9: and and you know, he'd been pretty candid about his

1024
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 9: play and we kind of had to pull it out

1025
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 9: of him a little bit on Sunday.

1026
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 10: So I don't know that I thought.

1027
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 9: Requirement was a possibility at this point, But I did

1028
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 9: think I do think I got the vibe that like

1029
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 9: that one got to him a little bit more.

1030
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 5: And then when you look at their options at cornerback, Joel,

1031
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 5: where do you go from here? Because Examin Howard had

1032
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 5: been a starter throughout the first four games of this season,

1033
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 5: and so when you look at Makay Blackman, Jonathan Edwards,

1034
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 5: you know Jaylen Jones could possibly return next week. How

1035
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 5: are you kind of ranking your pecking order in that regard?

1036
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 9: Well, this game, you know, any Ruma likes to play

1037
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 9: the matchups, and this game against the Raiders, I think

1038
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 9: kind of sets up as a Mkai Blackman game because

1039
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 9: the Raiders' number two receivers so far this year has

1040
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 9: been Trey Tucker, and he's he's a burner, He's a

1041
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 9: guy who's gonna beat That's what Mkayi Blackman has been,

1042
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 9: you know, essentially, that's the role he's been playing all season.

1043
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 9: So I kind of figure you'll get black men. We

1044
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 9: saw a lot of black men when when Ward missed

1045
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 9: the second game of the season. I do think you'll

1046
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 9: see a little bit more Jonathan Edwards, and he did

1047
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 9: have a pass breakup in his in his three snaps,

1048
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 9: he got the other day, and it was a nice one.

1049
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 9: You know, he at some point you kind of have

1050
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 9: to do that. But really, I think the long term

1051
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 9: answer this season is get Jalen Jones fully healthy, get

1052
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 9: him in this defense, and give him a chance, because

1053
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 9: we've seen Jalen Jones play like a starting cornerback in

1054
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 9: the NFL, and as long as you can get that

1055
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 9: hamstring to the point where he can really play on it,

1056
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 9: I think that's that's probably that's the that's the answer.

1057
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 9: We thought it was going to be all season before

1058
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 9: some of the injuries kind of kind of messed with him.

1059
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 9: But I think that's the real answer for this team

1060
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 9: is your your best shot is probably Jamn Jones.

1061
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: Joy Eric's and the Indie Star joining us on the

1062
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: pay Less Slickers hotline. What's your sense of what the

1063
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: wide receivers are going to look like when the official

1064
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,720
Speaker 2: rosters are announced before the game on Sunday.

1065
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 10: You know, it is interesting that Shane Steiken.

1066
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 9: Said we'll see how the week goes, but asked about

1067
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 9: you know, Ady Mitchell's availability. I Alec Pierce being in

1068
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 9: a blue jersey yesterday is a good sign, and for

1069
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 9: him playing against the Raiders typically that means they're in

1070
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 9: the last step of the five steps of the concussion Protocol,

1071
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 9: which puts him in a spot where you're just waiting

1072
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 9: on an independent neurologist to evaluate. It's where Ward was

1073
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 9: two weeks ago, and he ended up playing in that

1074
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 9: Titans game. So it probably looks good for Peers playing

1075
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 9: Ady Mitchell, I think is the real question mark, and

1076
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 9: it's It's just it's very interesting that Shane Stiken can

1077
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 9: keep saying, you know, we'll see how the week goes.

1078
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 10: In terms of Mitchell playing.

1079
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 9: If he does play, I don't think I think you're

1080
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 9: if pierces back, you're back. He's back to like a

1081
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 9: ten to twelve snap roll at most.

1082
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 4: Would you sit him, Joel.

1083
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 9: Based on based on like what I think my end,

1084
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 9: like what I got from the coaches and players about

1085
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 9: how much they've emphasized this after the tailor mistake last year,

1086
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 9: I think probably yes, you have to, because I I

1087
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 9: don't know how you felt, James, but I got the

1088
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 9: impression in talking to Mitchell.

1089
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: That like.

1090
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 9: Part of what he was going through was knowing that

1091
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 9: they've said this over and over again. I think when

1092
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 9: we asked the question about you know.

1093
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 10: Is this something Shane's emphasized.

1094
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 9: I think before the question was even out, he was

1095
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 9: already saying, you know, letters and logos, letters and logos.

1096
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely for those listening, letters and logos means that

1097
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 5: Shane was basically telling them to run through the end

1098
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 5: zone where the letters and logos of the team are painted.

1099
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 5: And so, yes, you are correct, Joel. When we were

1100
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 5: talking to ad we didn't even ask that question before

1101
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 5: he mentioned it himself, which I had to follow up

1102
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 5: and say, what does that even mean? So along those lines,

1103
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 5: as we pivot away from Xavin Howard and Adie Mitchell

1104
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 5: in this conversation, how would you assess Daniel Jones? I

1105
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 5: know you've been over all over this, I think this

1106
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 5: week trying of asking him and the coach, you know

1107
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: what went into your turnovers? How do you bounce back

1108
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 5: from him? How would you assess his performance? And then

1109
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 5: perhaps the ability to bounce back against the Raiders.

1110
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 9: I think part of it is just I think part

1111
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 9: of it is just they've got to do a better

1112
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 9: job protecting him. He done a good job under pressure

1113
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 9: this year, but I do think that when the pressure

1114
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 9: is as consistent as it was on Sunday, it speeds

1115
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 9: a quarterback up or makes them a little bit uncertain.

1116
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 9: I think the other thing, And no one has said this.

1117
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 9: This is just kind of me watching him over the

1118
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 9: course of the season. If he's going to throw the

1119
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 9: deep ball, it has to get out early.

1120
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 10: It can't be.

1121
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 9: It can't be a later ball in the in the

1122
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 9: in the progression he's he's got to get it out.

1123
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 10: Early so the receiver can go under it. I thought,

1124
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 10: you know, I.

1125
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 9: Thought that Mitchell throw was open when he uh, you know,

1126
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 9: when he's when he let it go. But he doesn't

1127
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 9: necessarily have the It doesn't seem like he has the

1128
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 9: arm strength to drive it.

1129
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 10: It's where it.

1130
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 9: Needs to go, So I think you can. You can

1131
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 9: be successful throwing the ball down the field doing that.

1132
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 9: You just have to get it out early. And when

1133
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 9: we've seen him be successful getting the ball down the field,

1134
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 9: it's usually when he knows where he's going with it

1135
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 9: and lets it go early in the route and then

1136
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 9: lets the receiver run under it and and make a

1137
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 9: play on the ball. That's where you know, Alec Pierce

1138
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 9: helps a ton, because Pierce is so good when the

1139
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 9: ball is in the air at aggressively attacking it and

1140
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 9: going to get the football.

1141
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 7: Joe.

1142
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: I know we've kept it for a while today and

1143
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 2: we appreciate that. But before we go, I'd be remiss

1144
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 2: if I didn't say, ask you from your perspective, what

1145
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: what should we know and be talking about with Shaq

1146
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: Leonard and the announcement of his retirement and him banging

1147
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: the anvil this Sunday.

1148
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 9: So I don't know how you I don't know the

1149
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 9: reception you guys have gotten. I think on on social

1150
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 9: media you get a little bit of oddly, a little

1151
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 9: bit of some stuff where people are like, why is

1152
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 9: this a big deal? He was he was on the

1153
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 9: way to being in the Hall of Fame.

1154
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 10: Like he was an incredible player.

1155
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 9: I think the only to me, Shack Leonard is an

1156
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 9: ultimate what if type of story, like what if he'd

1157
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,919
Speaker 9: been healthy his whole career because even in twenty twenty one,

1158
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 9: you know, he forced a bunch of turnovers, But that

1159
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 9: was the start of him realizing that there was something

1160
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 9: wrong with a nerve in his back. At the time,

1161
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 9: they thought it was his leg, but that was the

1162
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 9: start of the injury. Was that season. I remember we

1163
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 9: had interviews with him where he said I can't react

1164
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 9: the way I used to. I want to explode and

1165
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 9: my leg isn't doing it, So really you do. You

1166
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 9: only got four years, and really it was three years

1167
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 9: of healthy Leonard, and I think, I think that's that's

1168
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 9: to me if he goes down, and you know, this franchise,

1169
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 9: like like a lot of franchise has a lot of

1170
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 9: these types of players. But to me, that's that's how

1171
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 9: I look at him, is what if he hadn't gotten hurt,

1172
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 9: what if he hadn't had a spinal injury? Because he

1173
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 9: was really, really good and really really unique as a

1174
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 9: player when he was when he was playing.

1175
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 10: People don't realize this.

1176
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 9: I don't think, but statistically speaking, turnovers are not something

1177
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 9: that are replicated easily a year over year. They're just

1178
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 9: not There's a few guys in the history of the

1179
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 9: NFL who've been able to make them consistent, and he's

1180
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 9: one of them.

1181
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. Good luck in the baseball playoffs

1182
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,640

00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 6: We have four of fifty five brewers.

1184
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: That's impessing.

1185
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 6: You couldn't get the guy with a big beard.

Speaker 2: there for Jason Hammer from WIBC coming in here and

1191

1192
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 2: when Mark's pumping you up like.

1193
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 6: That, the Shane o' mac theme. I like it.

1194
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: I could get with that. We had a pretty good

1195
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: week last week. Okay, so we got the Big Game

1196
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: right on Thursday. That's three and one on the Big

1197
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: Game picks. We split the props, so we went two

1198
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: out of three last week. That's a winning week. We

1199
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: also gave you Michael Pittman of the Colts plus two

1200
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: point fifteen on anytime touchdown. We cashed that bad boy.

1201
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: We had Kevin's Irish cover for us. Lost the Georgia bet,

1202
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: but all in all, it was a good week. And

1203
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: the policy around here is when I win, you win.

1204
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 6: Come on. So look what we got here.

1205
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 4: It's drugs.

1206
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 3: Is this do you imagine seeing that at your trigger

1207
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: treaty neighborhood honey, stand on this side of the side

1208
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 3: mondo for you, Kevin, So take one, pull it out,

1209
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 3: pass it around the board.

00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 7: Here.

1211
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 13: It's a little.

1212
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 6: Something something to celebrate, boy, some cash money, oh boy

1213
00:53:58,880 --> 00:53:59,720

Speaker 1: But your hand in my big bag, Mama, I'm sorry.

1215
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: Got over to Mark and KB and honestly, I think

1216
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: the turning point last week was the pep talk that

1217
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen gave me.

1218
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 10: Thank you.

1219
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: It was like that scene in Rudy where Rudy was

1220
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: down on his luck and then the jam, what you're doing?

1221
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 6: Don't you have practice? Not anymore?

1222
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 7: I quit?

1223
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 3: Well, since when are you the Quinn con Amore going

1224
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: to make that dressing?

1225
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 6: Come on, come on, that's fantastic.

1226
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 7: Now.

1227
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure you were going to recite that, but

1228
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: I made a backup plan just in case you didn't

1229
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: feel comfortable doing that. Here to recap what happened last

1230
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 1: week and what he goes through on a daily basis

1231
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: here at the fan, please welcome back Ai Kevin Bowen.

1232
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 13: Look, it's pretty bad.

1233
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 14: I have to motivate your big fat beach grove face

1234
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 14: to do a good job. But it's par for the

1235
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 14: course for me around here. I carry this station. And

1236
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 14: what reward do I get? I'm in a studio with

1237
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 14: all guys. It looks like the worst fraternity on an

1238
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 14: all male camp. Oh and I have my boss in here. Maybe,

1239
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 14: if I'm lucky, he'll wear his tight, sweaty spandex shorts

1240
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 14: he wears for biking, exposing his old man crotch.

1241
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 7: Maybe.

1242
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 14: As for everyone else in here, I still don't know

1243
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 14: James last name, and Mark just smells like.

1244
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 13: A poor person. Maybe just get on with this segment.

1245
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 14: This delay is taking away time I could be talking

1246
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 14: about golf and being better than people.

1247
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 13: Ai Bowen out.

1248
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 6: I think I pretty much encompassed Kevin Bowen to a.

1249
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: Tea right, the golf loving elitist that is Kevin Bowen.

1250
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 2: I feel like we captured that, didn't we?

1251
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 3: Wow?

1252
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here, you know, Wow? You have Jason Hammer

1253
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 6: in for these segments. I give up my seat.

1254
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 4: How you really feel?

1255
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 9: Mark?

1256
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,919
Speaker 4: I love over here and Mark Tykes and I share

1257
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 4: a Mike?

1258
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 6: Can we share a headset?

1259
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 7: All of a sudden.

1260
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: That I sent you, you knew what was coming, right, Okay?

1261
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 7: Man?

1262
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 6: I think, oh, thank you. It's funny.

1263
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 2: That's what we go with.

1264
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 4: Okay, or so he says.

1265
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 5: Every week, I got beef with this Ai boweing guy, James.

1266
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: Right night, We've got the divisional game with a touchdown underdoll.

1267
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1268
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 6: Man, this one tonight.

1269
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: So many injuries on the forty nine er side and

1270
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: a short week too, but the Nighters always play the

1271
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: Rams really well and vice versa. It's one of these

1272
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: games where it's usually close, but with the injuries, I'm

1273
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: kind of out on a side. So let's look at

1274
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: this total here. Depending on which book you're using, shop

1275
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 1: around find the best number. I'm seeing the over under

1276
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: at around forty five. Some spots might have it at

1277
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,479
Speaker 1: forty four, forty four and a half. I saw forty five.

1278
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 1: So we're gonna ride the under.

1279
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 4: On this one.

1280
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: Hold your nose and take the under tonight. Each of

1281
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: the rams last five games as home favorites, it's gone

1282
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: under forty nine Ers decent defensively at times divisional matchup,

1283
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: they know the Rams, they're beat up, so we're going

1284
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: to again. I hate being under guy here. You hate

1285
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: rooting for punts, but I think under is to play

1286
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: on this one short week injuries, go under forty five.

1287
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 7: I like that.

1288
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 2: I like that a lot for all the reasons you said,

1289
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 2: And I'm just really worried about how many points the

1290
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 2: Niners can score r this game tonight as much as anything, and.

1291
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: The Rams as much as Stafford passes for big yardage,

1292
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: and you see Nikua have these video game like numbers.

1293
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: It's not like they're putting forty on the board either,

1294
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: like they get down the field, but sometimes they struggle

1295
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So are prop bets we're going

1296
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: to do tonight. We're going to look at Christian McCaffrey

1297
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. Somebody is going to have

1298
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: to touch the football for the forty nine ers, it's

1299
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: probably McCaffrey. We're going to go over fifty four and

1300
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: a half receiving yards from McCaffrey to if you look

1301
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: at his targets in every game, just targets ten, seven, fifteen,

1302
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: and eleven, and his yardage every game seventy three, fifty two,

1303
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: eighty eight and ninety two receiving yards. So we're going

1304
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: to take that over tonight. Whether it's Purty, whether it's

1305
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: mac Jones, I can't see them doing anything but dnking

1306
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: and dunking.

1307
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 6: So let's ride out McCaffrey.

1308
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: And if you want some plus money, if you want

1309
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: to get a little nuts tonight, Davante Adams anytime touchdown

1310
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: for the Rams, you can get that around plus one

1311
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: twenty five it's not huge, but it's plus plus money.

1312
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: Nine red zone targets so far leads the NFL in

1313
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: red zone targets, doesn't lead in catches in the red zone,

1314
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: but they're looking for him in the red zone. That's

1315
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: all I'm asking for it plus money.

1316
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: All right, that's where we're at, Dan, Let's go into

1317
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 2: the little gifts that you gave us. Here, it's all smoky,

1318
00:58:54,800 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 2: like mini bell jar full of I'm guessing spirits, shine.

1319
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: White, lightning, commercial shine. Now when I say shine, like

1320
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: the purists get all upset. It's not really shine unless

1321
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: some hillbillion a mountain makes it and then passes it

1322
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: to you in an unmarked jar. But the best you

1323
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: can get store bought, probably old smoky. Right, so on

1324
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: behalf of the winning week, last week and my birthday

1325

1327
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: so much money we can buy our way out of

1328
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: any situation and buy any politician.

1329
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,960

1334
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 6: electric by Jason Hammer.

1335
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 4: That's an elite talent right there.

1336
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 2: I've done that before.

1337
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 3: That there. If we can gamble like that, well we

1338
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 3: might be you know, we might be retire of the

1339

Speaker 3: beach front home.

1340
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 4: And what is the rest of the birthday entail?

1341

01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 5: you're just feeling a little too good today to pass up.

1343
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to maybe do a little baseball

1344
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: parlay in. I'm not a parlay guy.

1345
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 6: You guys know that.

1346
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: I think they're sucker bets. But it's my birthday, so

1347
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I'll try a little lightning here. Maybe looking at the Guardians, Cubs,

1348
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: and Yankees. Do a little money line with those home

1349
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: team action there, I'll go home team all right, man.

1350
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: Happy birthday, degenerates next door you and Rob Kendall. We've

1351
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 3: already got the college football pod out NFL pot later today,

1352
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: is that correct?

1353
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: That's right around one o'clock this afternoon. We'll break down

1354
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: the game of the week, which it's kind of a

1355
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: dud slate in the NFL.

1356
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 2: This week.

1357
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: We looked at Tampa Bay and Seattle probably has the

1358
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: game of the week, so we'll pick that. We have

1359
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: professional gamblers to come on, we make them give out

1360
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: free plays, they'll pick that and we'll have some more

1361
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: props to.

1362
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: The lowest over under in the NFL this season in

1363
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 3: London that is thirty five points Vikings and Browns, Carson

1364
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 3: Wentz and Gabriel. Nothing says international football like that.

1365
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 5: I feel like they always get the worst game they do, right,

1366
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 5: like just offul you know here, here is you know

1367
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 5: in the league Jacksonville.

1368
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, I can't remember what it was.

1369
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: It was some horrible game in Germany, and somebody said,

1370
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: what have the Germans done to deserve this game? And

1371
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: then everybody took a pause.

1372
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 4: I was like, well, that might not.

1373
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 6: Be the line on the other side.

1374
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Jason, happy birthday, have a good day. Thank you, gentlemen.

1375
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 6: Let's win tonight.

1376
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 7: Let's go.

1377
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 6: Happy birthday, Hammer
