1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Well.

2
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 2: The Indianapolis Cults are sifting through their quarterback options. Riley

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: Leonard has a strained knee ligaman. He's considered week two week.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: One of the options is the forty four year old

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers.

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: His NFL network reported what year is it?

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: They are going to put through a workout with Philip

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Rivers on Tuesday. He's forty four, he last played in

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: the NFL in twenty twenty. He is a grandfather. It

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: is a question of whether or not Rivers would want

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: to do it. He has to be one hundred percent convicted.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: He doesn't know that he is. And the Colts also

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: are sifting through other options to figure out who else

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: they could bring in. But that is the point that

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: they're now at because Daniel Jones is out for the year,

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard is week to week. They have Brett Rippen

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: on the practice squad.

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: Did not have that one on my being go card.

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Good morning, everyone, and welcome into a Tuesday the Fan

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: Morning Show. Kevin Bowen, James Boyd Beck in studio today.

00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,960

Speaker 3: Right there, Wow, uh KB. I'll start with you, what

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,160

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: social media yesterday.

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,800

00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: Shoot, uh, wo are related?

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: I do think there's some ofesome. Not to say that

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers has illegitimate kids. I think he's got enough

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: legitimate kids.

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 5: No, No, I man like, could they be like like

32
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 5: distant cousins or something twenty three in me situation?

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of those.

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot there.

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I it's funny, Eddie Garrison. I did a podcast

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 4: yesterday and I half jokingly, half seriously said the podcast

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: I go. I just called Philip Rivers forty fourth birthday

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: for the grandpa yesterday. By the way, happy look at

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: that James Boyd, Mark Dykedon and Philip Rivers all sharing

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: birthdays in a similar time frame.

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: There, It's impressive.

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: I ain't getting on the field though, half joking with

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: half seriously, but yeah, I don't know if Kerry Collins

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: didn't answer, and Matt Ryan said the CBS gig is

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 4: too good. But Philip Rivers in Indianapolis for a workout here,

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: it is quite a time to be alive, and it.

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Sounds like if he were healthy, it would just be

48
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: Riley Leonard and they'd roll with that, right.

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Mark, thank you for that open it

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: you know, made me laugh. But it has some info

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: in there obviously Riley Leonards. You know, the knee injury.

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: And you know, as we've mentioned with Riley Leonard yesterday

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: and we've talked about it for the last six or

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: seven months about him, he is a man that needs

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 4: the leg element to his game. And so if this

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: knee injury is going to hinder him in any way,

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: I deem him very ineffective. So basically you are saying

58
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: Brett Rippon or who That's what it's coming down to.

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: It looks like so if Riley Leonard indeed is banged up,

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: so we'll see.

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: Is there anybody worth snatching on a practice squad anywhere?

62
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

63
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I guess you could signed somebody

64
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: off a practice squad. I don't you know who the

65
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: hell knows? What Philip Rivers I mean, Philip Rivers has

66
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: made it very clear that he has thought about coming

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: back in this last four or five year span, and

68
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: so we'll see, you know, if the putting the full

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: pads on in the front yard of son Gunner has

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: led to anything here.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 5: I thought he's had a really long weekend because I

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 5: was like, maybe I hit my head or something, because

73
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: you know, the Colts were in the playoff hunts before

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: they had healthy quarterbacks, and I was like, now I'm

75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: walking back in they're out of the playoffs and Philip

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: Rivers is getting a call to hey, you want to

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: play quarterback against the Seahawks?

78
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Like what?

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 5: It is amazing? What has happened in the last three weeks.

80
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 5: It is absolutely amazing.

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: Could you imagine Philip Rivers getting off the sideline or

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: I think he's been a high school coach for the

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: last couple of years, right, but that season's over right now.

84
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's still doing that. But can

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: you imaginehim at forty four, a grandfather coming off the streets,

86
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: as they say, and leading the Colts to like a

87
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: couple of wins down the stretch and they get a

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: break or two along the way, and he's starting for

89
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: them in a wild card playoff game.

90
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 6: James wasn't he the last guy to start in a

91
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: playoff game?

92
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: So it was in Buffalo, right, I feel.

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 6: Like I'm watching stranger Things, the real life win the

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 6: upside down right now, so crazy times. And honestly I

95
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 6: do a double take when I was doing my story

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: and trying to report on it and confirming stuff and

97
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 6: trying to get clarity and more information. And yeah, I

98
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 6: will say for the people who keep asking like, is

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 6: this for real? It's really enough for him to get

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 6: on a plane.

101
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 4: Which I think is really real. Like I think once

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: you get on a plane, like you hear, Hey, the

103
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: Colts still have to make sure they're sold on it.

104
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Phillip still us to make sure, Yeah, he sold on it.

105
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: James Shane Stikeen and Philip Rivers are football freaking obsessed.

106
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: Can you imagine how many plays they probably went back

107
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: and discussed in their dinner last night. You know how

108
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: many Charger memories they probably But those juices are going

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: to be flowing like none other once those two get

110
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: back together. At this point, I'd be surprised if Philip

111
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: Rivers is not a member of the Colts by the

112
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: end of today or the end of Wednesday. I guess

113
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: you know their first practice will be Thursday this week

114
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 4: as they play Seattle. Because I just think once you

115
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 4: get together, all the emotions are stirred up. Once you

116
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: get in the building, Philip Rivers is going to look

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 4: at in that manner. Helly watches the Chargers last night

118
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: and says, boy, I could do what those two quarterbacks are?

119
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: How many turnovers did Jalen hurtsab last night?

120
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: I could play like that. I was a god awful

121
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: one in my game.

122
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: But I was not good for the Colts by the way, Yeah, they.

123
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: They've gotten really no help. Eagles win last night. Not

124
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 6: he also had, you know, Houston beat the Cheese. It's

125
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 6: it's rough right now for the Colts. But I will

126
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 6: say this for context. As far as the Philip Rivers

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 6: and Shane styke in relationship, those two were together for

128
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 6: eight years during their Chargers days, and at one point

129
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 6: Shane was actually his interim offensive coordinator. So they talked

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 6: a lot of football. And I went back through and

131
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 6: found some audio and different things to include in my

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 6: story from yesterday, and one quote to sit out to me,

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 6: Kevin was when they actually had talked to Philip Rivers,

134
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 6: they being the Colts podcast team. They talked to Philip

135
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 6: Rivers back in May because of his relationship with Roley Leonard,

136
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 6: because he mentors him down in Alabama. Roley's parents lived

137
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 6: close to Philip Rivers, which sounds like something out of

138
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 6: a Disney movie. Fair Hope, Alabama, Mark Christmas Logan. Yeah,

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: and here's a river set In this podcast back in May,

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: about Shane Stiken, he said he and I saw the

141
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 6: game a lot alike. And so even now when I

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 6: talk to Shane, it's like we can paint a picture

143
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: over a phone conversation about a play, and I know

144
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: we're seeing the exact same thing. But Shane has a

145
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 6: unique ability to be able to get that communicated to quarterbacks.

146
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 6: When I was listening to that podcast again, I was like, hmm,

147
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 6: I wondered what those conversations sound like tonight.

148
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are super close. They still talk a ton Jeff,

149
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: I think you and I talked about it yesterday. I said,

150
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: if this was a little bit earlier in the year,

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: would probably do the Joe Flacco thing. You know, you'd

152
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: go find absolutely he's.

153
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: Been playing for the last couple year.

154
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: Obviously, it's post trade deadline, so you have some limitations

155
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: on what you can do. And James, I don't know

156
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: if you felt this way, but I thought the Brett

157
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: rip an answer from Shane Styke and yesterday was really odd.

158
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: You know, basically, yeah, would he start right?

159
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

160
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: How those zoom played out yesterday?

161
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Was?

162
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: First off, you have Daniel Jones conform confirmed torn achilles. Okay,

163
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: there's news item one. Then he announces Riley Leonard has

164
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: a knee injury. There's news item two. As we sit

165
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: here on this Tuesday morning, I sadly and unfortunately have

166
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: the thought of is Mooney Ward ever going to play

167
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: an NFL game again? As he is in concussion protocol

168
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 4: for the third time in three months. That news item

169
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: came out, and so you know, you're trying to sift.

170
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: Through all of this.

171
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: I think we are as like people asking questions, and

172
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 4: I'm thinking to myself, Okay, Riley Leonard's hurt, that means

173
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: three of your four quarterbacks on the roster are hurt. Yep,

174
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: Let's ask about the one healthy dude who hasn't thrown

175
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: an NFL pass in three years, and Brett Rippin. So

176
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: I simply just asked, Hey, if Riley can't go, would

177
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: Brett Rippon start on Sunday? And Mark, I don't know,

178
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: maybe I should have send it to you to clip out,

179
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: but the direct quote is this, Yeah, We'll see how

180
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: it goes I mean right now, that'll be the guy

181
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: that's on our roster. So, like I said, we're working

182
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: through these situations right now. As soon as I heard that,

183
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: I go, they are doing something outside of the building

184
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: one thousand percent right. That quote is well, it's not useless.

185
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: It clearly matters because you know here they are doing

186
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: the river.

187
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 6: He said, Oh, he will start if that's the only

188
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 6: body we have.

189
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, which again, if you have three injured quarterbacks and

190
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: there's only four in the building, no matter. Even if

191
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: you think Brett Rippon is your starter Sunday, you have

192
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: to have somebody go out and the back.

193
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 6: For the record, I'm still thinking, Hey, one guy is

194
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: twenty nine, the other guy's forty four. So just keep

195
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 6: that in mind. Know, Philip Rivers is a great player,

196
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 6: great resume, but boy, he's been a minute since he's

197
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: been out there.

198
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: There are jokes about the Seattle Seahawks meming grandpa got

199
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 4: ran over by a reindeer, and I'm afraid we might

200
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: see that on.

201
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Say, we may get a song submission by a listener

202
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: on that. To be honest with you, I could see

203
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: that coming. So that's the news as we have it

204
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: right now. For the Indianapolis Colts. They're down to possibly

205
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: or they are working out Philip Rivers a little bit

206
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: later on today. And if there is mutual interest and

207
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: he wants to completely and fully commit at this point

208
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: in his life, where's he living right now? You know?

209
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 6: Alabama, Alabama, Fair Hope, Alabama. I do have one interesting

210
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 6: tidbit we can get into about if he were to return,

211
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 6: So I'll just leave that there for you all listening.

212
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 4: Ten kids, one grand kid, so he's got his own roster,

213
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: seven girls, three boy.

00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: His son. Again.

215
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: I think I've said this before. I want to I

216
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: want notre Dame go after her son. He sounds like

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: a pretty highly ranked rank recruits. Speaking of that, by

Speaker 4: to be great. So Rick Carlisle at nine.

224
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: That kid hustles every he was getting to every loose

225
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: ball he didn't get a rebound on the fourth quarter, James,

226
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: he was tipping it out to somebody last night.

227
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: Got enjoy that. Aspect of this Pacer season has been

228
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 6: rough early on, but they found a few gyms along

229
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: the way. I had a few moments here, I guess

230
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 6: more recently than before. So I'll take it all right.

231
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: Coming up in a minute, we'll get you the checkdown

232
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, Kevin. We'll have Fernando Mendoza's high school

233
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: football coach a little bit later on in the hour.

234
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: It's all happening right here at ninety three to five

235
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: and one oh seven five the fan. Good morning everyone,

236
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: if you're just joining us big news this morning, If

237
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: maybe you were just watching TV last night, you were

238
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: out and about and didn't really pay attention to what

239
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: was happening on social media or anywhere else. The Indianapolis

240
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: Colts are looking for a quarterback. Kevin Bone who is

241
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: one of those quarterbacks they are seriously considering at this

242
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: point in time.

243
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Uncle Phil, Philip Rivers, Shane Stike and him have

244
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: significant history together. I've still remained very close. Chris Ballard

245
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 4: has always loved Philip Rivers. By all accounts of the

246
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: cults tried I should say, looked into him playing in

247
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one as the Carson Wentz to Bacle was

248
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: taking place. Other teams forty nine ers in the Saints

249
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: they have tried as well here in recent years. So

250
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: having said that, this is a forty four year old

251
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: that hasn't played in an NFL game in five.

252
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: Years, James Boyd your thoughts initially when you saw that

253
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: and as you were tracking the story down.

254
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 6: Am I being punked? Remember that show, Kevin? Because I

255
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: was thinking to myself, this Ashton Kutcher cannot be real.

256
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 6: But it is indeed real, and the Colts are clearly

257
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 6: exploring all their options. But like Kevin said, the guy's

258
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 6: forty four hasn't played in five years. But desperate times

259
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 6: called for perhaps desperate measures. Considering that currently three of

260
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 6: the four quarterbacks on your roster are hurt and the

261
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 6: only healthy one is Brett Rippon, who has not started

262
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 6: a game since twenty twenty three.

263
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: I'm just curious also the quarterbacks that are on the roster.

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: Just to catch people up again, Riley Leonard, who we

265
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: saw play this past Sunday, he's got a problem with

266
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: a knee right now, right knee injury okay, so he

267
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: may or may not be able to go on Sunday.

268
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 6: He has a cloudy status.

269
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: Brett Rippon has not played an NFL game in three

270
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: and a half years.

271
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 6: I believe his last start was in twenty twenty three

272
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 6: for the Los Angeles Rams, so it's only been two years.

273
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 6: But you know, I guess two years bet than five years, obviously,

274
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 6: for those who keep asking, Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve,

275
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 6: and then Shane Styke and did tell us yesterday he

276
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 6: will not be elevated this week, so he's out for

277
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 6: Tonnay's game.

278
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 5: I say, let's get nuts, get Philip Rivers in here,

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: sign Matt Ryan, get Jim Sergey, and get Curtis Painter

280
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 5: every quarter and we'll see what happens.

281
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 6: Let's just have some full best men win. Throw a

282
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 6: dart at the board.

283
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 5: You're getting the first quarter, you get the second quarter,

284
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 5: you get thirty, you get fourth.

285
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: How about didn't they do that that one time with

286
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: with Josh Freeman and Ryan Linley.

287
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, flip a coin.

288
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: I think they won that game.

289
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 3: Old man football, Let's go. Whoever starts at quarterback, we'll

290
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: have to take on the Seattle Seahawks on the road

291
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon, four twenty five kicktime. Our pregame coverage. We'll

292
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: start at about one thirty or so. Mark, you didn't

293
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: have your mic on for that one.

294
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was one of tantalizing prophecies. And hey, Philip,

295
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 5: I know you're holding your grand kid right now. You

296
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 5: want to get smashed by the Seattle defense right now

297
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 5: in Seattle.

298
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: Over by Reindy Year sliding for a first down Christmas Eve,

299
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: and it's going to be ugly something like that, all right.

300
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: So that'll be the eight and five Colts who are

301
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: currently in eighth place in the AFC, trying to fight

302
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: scratch klawn figure out a way to get themselves inside

303
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs there on the outside looking in right now.

304
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: Monday Night football, last night.

305
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 4: One more Colts news, I am because just the serious

306
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: news with Tchaverisward back in concussion protocol. Had some symptoms

307
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: developed yesterday morning. So this is now the third time

308
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 4: he has been in concussion protocol in three months. I'm

309
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 4: not sure if I've ever seen a player in the

310
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: fifteen years I've covered the Colts being cushion protocol three

311
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: times in three months, and then just to refresh everyone's

312
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: memory on his status. He missed over a month last

313
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: time in concussion protocol and was very upfront and describing

314
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: how severe his symptoms were, and it had him pondering

315
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: if he would ever play football again. So just awful

316
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: to hear that on many many levels yesterday. So it's

317
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: the lengthiest the injury report has been all year long

318
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: for the Colts. Easily the most notable names and as

319
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: you guys accurately put out, maybe the best team they

320
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: faced all season, certainly one of them coming up on Sunday.

321
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: It's just getting rougher and rougher though. Over there at

322
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: the West fifty sixth last night and Monday Night football,

323
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: it was kind of an ugly game, but somehow Justin

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Herbert playing with a left hand that had been surgically

325
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: repaired just a week ago, he's running around. He had

326
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: over sixty yards rushing last night and leading that team

327
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: to a victory.

328
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 6: James, I will say this like they, because I had

329
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: reference to the broadcast he had hand surgery, not foot surgery,

330
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 6: So him running, I get he has to hold the ball,

331
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 6: but boy, I thought that was kind of overhyped. I'm

332
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 6: like they, guy, I.

333
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: Got NFL linebackers coming after you.

334
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 6: Yes, but you're also running with healthy feet. They're like,

335
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 6: oh my god, he ran with the broken hand.

336
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: It's about taking the hits more than anything.

337
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 6: He shout out to him. The drugs are good.

338
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: His coach called him. Jim Marble called him a superhero.

339
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 6: After the game, Jim Marble said, like he was as

340
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: happy as when he had his seven children. After winning

341
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 6: that game last.

342
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 5: Night, Jalen Hurts with two guttural scream did you hear that?

343
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: One?

344
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: Hurts had two healthy hands. He turned the ball over

345
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: four times passing and then fumbled the ball turned over

346
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: twice in one play. He had a rough night.

347
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 6: James vibes are bad right now. Jeff and Philly, I

348
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 6: can only imagine what their radio sounds like this morning.

349
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: Oh so that brings a conclusion to Week fourteen in

350
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: the NFL. Last night over at the field House, though

351
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers, they got out to a nineteen point lead

352
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: over the Sacramento Kings lost it, trailed by seven ninety

353
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: seven to ninety and then all of a sudden, Andrew

354
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: Nemhart turned into a superhero. He and Benedict Matherin combined

355
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: for eleven straight points. He got Ethan Thompson baton rebounds

356
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: out to everybody. Those guys were terrific. Pascal Siakan was terrific.

357
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: They put together a late run of their own and

358
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: they win by eleven points one sixteen, one to five.

359
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: I was a wild fourth quarter.

360
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, awful third quarter. And then the shot making. Yeah,

361
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: Nemhard hit those two sandwiched around Mathern hitting the three.

362
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: Those were some big time, big time shots again. Rick

363
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: Carl e Join is coming up at nine, looking forward

364
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: to chatting about Ethan Thompson that story. He was really

365
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: active and keeping some extra possessions alive. So that is

366
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: now four of six for the Pacers and now they

367
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: hit that n season tournament. Little break here so they'll

368
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: only play twice like in the next nine days, so

369
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: time to rest and time to practice.

370
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: They do not play again until Friday, when they will

371
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: take it on the Philadelphia seventy six Ers on the road.

372
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: Will the seven pm start there. Heisman Trophy invitees, there

373
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 3: are four of them this year. Fernando Mendoza from Indiana

374
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: will be joined by Jeremiah Love of Notre Dame. Kevin

375
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: getting a little love there Julian Saying from Io State

376
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: and Diego Pavia from Vanderbilt. Those are the four that

377
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: will be in attendance. Also, I saw the North and

378
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: the Notre Dame athletic director yesterday basically say that the ACC,

379
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: through their social media conduct all season long and kind

380
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: of lobbying for Miami and against Notre Dame, has permanently

381
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: damaged the reputation of the institution. I'm paraphrasing there, Kevin,

382
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: But he's been on a little so he's been on

383
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: a little media tour of his own the last couple

384
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: of days.

385
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, ACC and Notre Dame's partnership not an institution.

386
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: Well the part You're right, the partnership. I overstated that,

387
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: but I was trying to get a rise out of

388
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: it either way. But I don't remember saying athletic directors

389
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: make public tours like that.

390
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 4: Fernando Medez's high school coach going to join us here

391
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 4: in five minutes. And Indiana a very big favorite tonight

392
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: against Penn State fifteen and a half points inside of

393
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: Assembly Hall. Penn State has played no One this year.

394
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 4: They are eight and one. But clearly those that look

395
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: into this do not expect this to be a close

396
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 4: game at all as Indiana tries to regroup after two

397
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 4: straight losses.

398
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk more about all these things coming

399
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: up in a minute. We'll take a break so we

400
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: can get right to the high school football coach off

401
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza. We'll do that now and say the Nuns

402
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: and Cannis.

403
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 6: There something they shine be.

404
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: Well. He is a sensation in college football, no question

405
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 3: about that. Fernando Mendez is one of four players to

406
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: know have been invited to New York City for this

407
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: Saturday's Heisman Trophy ceremony. He has done amazing things in

408
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: his year at Indiana, leading them to an undefeated season

409
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 3: of birth in the college Football Playoff. And man, we

410
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: are dying know more about this young man and it

411
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: seems like just a really cool kid too. Dave Dunn,

412
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 3: his high school football coach over at Christopher Columbus High

413
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: School in Miami, joined us now on the Payless Liquors

414
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: Hotline to talk a little bit more about this young

415
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 3: man and we're hungry coach to find out everything we

416
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 3: can about him. Good morning, and welcome to the program.

417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 3: We appreciate you being here, but it's got to be

418
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: almost surreal to have a kid that you coached in

419
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: high school going to New York to maybe get the

420
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy this weekend.

421
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: Huh, it really is, guys, Thanks for having me on.

422
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: He's just a tremendous young man. So watching him have

423
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: the success he's had at IU, it has been amazing

424
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: for everybody down here in Miami and especially at Christopher

425
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: Columbus High School.

426
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: And that's Dave done the coach, as he said at

427
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: Christopher Columbus High School and Dave up Kevin Bowen here.

428
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: I appreciate you responding and joining us on this Tuesday morning.

429
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the first time for Nano Mendoza

430
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 4: got I would say, probably accurately thrust into a game

431
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 4: for you down there. I know you've told the story before,

432
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: but for an audience it hasn't heard it.

433
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: It's it's quite the story.

434
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: He was he was injured and didn't practice the whole week,

435
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: and they kind of cleared him right before the game.

436
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: And I told his dad right before the game. He said, hey, listen,

437
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry. We're not going to put

438
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: him in. He said, don't worry about it. Well, our

439
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: quarterback got knocked out with about a minute to go

440
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: in the game, and his uh came in off the

441
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: bench and his first pass he threw was for a touchdown,

442
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: which basically, you know, put his in position to win

443
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: the game.

444
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 6: So that is what year was this for Fernando.

445
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: It was a sophomore year, and his dad just shook

446
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: his head as we're walking off the field and said,

447
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: I thought you said he wasn't going to play. So

448
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: he literally he made a statement on his first pass

449
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: ever thrown in high school.

450
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: And coaches there little more, wasn't there maybe a misskick

451
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: that led to all of a sudden you needed to

452
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: do it again and Mendoza got you into kicking range

453
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: again for potentially the win.

454
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we ended up there. It's made to score

455
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty seven. We missed the extra point,

456
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: went through an on side kick, and we had about

457
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: fourteen seconds left with no timeouts, and so Fernando threw

458
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: a deep in route that got us in a field

459
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: goal range, went up and spiked the ball. We missed

460
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: the field goal, so it would have been a much

461
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: better story if we made either of the two kicks.

462
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: But he did his part and then saw him at

463
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: the end of the game there.

464
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 6: I was going to say, you sound like an Ohio

465
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 6: State fan this past weekend if it just made the kick,

466
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 6: But obviously I you and your former quarterback played spoilers

467
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 6: and they have been on a remarkable run, probably one

468
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 6: of the greatest stories in all of college sports history. So,

469
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 6: coach for you, when did you perhaps realize that Fernando

470
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: could play at this level? And I say that because

471
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 6: every coach is going to be high on there starting

472
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 6: quarterback and a high character kid, But did you see

473
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 6: some NFL talent in him early on?

474
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: His first start came that next week because we still

475
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: have the same injury at quarterback and we played against

476
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: Coral Gables High School, was in one of our rivals

477
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: down here, and he legitimately went like eighteen of twenty

478
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: three with three touchdowns, no interceptions, and just at an

479
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: unreal job of guiding our offense and not making a

480
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: mistake and being composed, so all the things you see

481
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: him do, like on Saturday night versus Ohio State, I go.

482
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Disclaimer by the way, I was born in ann Arbor, Michigan.

483
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: So not only was I my favorite team each week,

484
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: now is IU And then whoever's playing Ohio State. So

485
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: it was really good for me to see that. But

486
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: just a composure he had in his first start and

487
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: he was like fifteen years old. I'm like, he's and

488
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: he was a big kid. He was kind of skinnier

489
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: at that point, but I'm like, if he fills out,

490
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a shot.

491
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: That's crazy stuff. So when you're watching that game this

492
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: Saturday and the game is kind of on the line,

493
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 3: and they go for it on third and long to

494
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: try to put the game away, and he throws that

495
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: great pass to to Becker, that what what are you thinking?

496
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: When he just steps up in the biggest moment of

497
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: the season and he delivers a big strike there with

498
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: the game on the line.

499
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I just had a feeling they were going to have

500
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: to throw the ball at that obviously that situation, because

501
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: like coach Signetti said, I started looking at the clock,

502
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, they need two more first outs, you know,

503
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: to put it away. So you have to throw it here.

504
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: You can't. You just can't play and hope that you're

505
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: going to take another twenty five seconds off the clock

506
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: and then and then punt it. So I knew he

507
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: had to make a throw and I think, you know,

508
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Charlie had had such a great game, you know, the

509
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: entire night, so that that was the guy to go

510
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: to at that point. I think they like the matchup.

511
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: He put the ball in an unbelievable spot and that

512
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: pretty much ice the game for him.

513
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: Again, that's Dave Done, the high school coach of Fernando

514
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: Mendosi's with to see on the payloss lookers hoghline on

515
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: this Tuesday morning. Coach, I know, his high school recruitment,

516
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 4: you know, definitely overlapped a little bit with COVID, so

517
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 4: you know, potentially that impacted some things. But how did

518
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: you compare maybe the lack of interest from a high

519
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: school recruitment standpoint to what the portal recruitment was like

520
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: for him this time last year?

521
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: It was night and day just because we couldn't. His

522
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: junior year was COVID and he was unreal. In his

523
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: junior year, we had a really good team. We were undefeated,

524
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: were champions. At the end of the year. We literally,

525
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: I think we played we only trailed one quarter the

526
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: whole year. We were a very dominant team. That was

527
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the championship game and we we

528
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: actually for an end of an interception for a touchdown,

529
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: and that's how we gave up the lead. And I

530
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: just looked at him and I said, hey, listen, you

531
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: got to fix this. And he went down against Deerfield

532
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: Beach and led us to a game winning touchdown. So

533
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: he played unreal that year and just we couldn't and

534
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: he didn't get to go to any camps because of COVID,

535
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: and so it was kind of a we're trying to

536
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: show everybody in his senior year, which we just weren't

537
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: as good around him as senior year, how good of

538
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: a player he was. And I was a Division one

539
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: recruiting coordinator at one point in my career, so I

540
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: had a lot of people in college coaching that I

541
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: was begging that I should. He's you never say, can't

542
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: miss I go, but he's pretty darn close. And it

543
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: was very it was frush. He handled it probably way

544
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: better than I did. It was very frustrating for him,

545
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: but it was he never showed it. It had to be.

546
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: But and then when when it came to you know,

547
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: when I watched him play at Cow and I actually

548
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: got to go to his best game. I saw him

549
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: play against Wake Forest last year. I'm like, if he

550
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: enters the portal, I go, He's He's gonna have a

551
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: ton of options.

552
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 6: At this point, again, we have Dave Dunn on the line,

553
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 6: the high school coach of Fernando Mendoza, coach one that

554
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: I'm curious about when it comes to Fernando, and I

555
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 6: say this in endearing fashion, the Hoosias are flipping champions

556
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 6: and I'm not, you know, editing that for radio. He

557
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 6: says that, and it's so wholesome. So personality wise, how

558
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 6: have you seen him balance being We've joked about it

559
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 6: here on the station, like the uh like the college

560
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 6: ta versus being a dog and going out there and

561
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 6: competing at the highest level.

562
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: You deep down he's he's a killer, and that's what

563
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: you have to know when when he steps on the field.

564
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: He's got a different mindset than than than people would

565
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: perceive him to have. He's just the nicest kid off

566
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: the field. Like I've said this several times in all

567
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: the interviews I've been you know, I've done over the

568
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Based on his notoriety, is that he's

569
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the type of young man you want to marry your daughter.

570
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: But on field Stone cold killer. And that's what I

571
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: love about him is that he can literally he'll be

572
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: successful in whatever he does. His demeanor off the field

573
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: is driven, but he's such a nice young man and

574
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: people like everyone keeps asking me, They're like, is that

575
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: how he really is? That's him, go, that's how he is.

576
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Some people think that, you know, he's putting on an

577
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: act for the interviews. That's He's always been that way.

578
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: That's how he is.

579
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: You haven't any conversation with I don't know any high

580
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: school coach. I feel like in this day and age,

581
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: it's quickly met with. You know, maybe some of the challenges,

582
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: and you know, certainly there are some parents that are

583
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: uber supportive and then you can have times where it

584
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: can be challenging on that front to deal with all

585
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: of it. What would you say about Fernando's parents? Obviously

586
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 4: his brother, of course, we've seen this story his mom

587
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: dealing with MS. You know, it's been pretty well well documented.

588
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: But what was high school life like with the Mendoza parents.

589
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: They were unbelieved because the dad played offensive line at

590
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: Columbus High School. So the dad's a football guy and

591
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: he he was I always say this to everybody I go.

592
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: When it came to coaching the Mendozes Alberto and Fernando,

593
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: between me and his dad, it was bad cop, bad cop.

594
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: We were both really hard on him. There was no

595
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: good cop else of the mom might have been the

596
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: good cop. And the only feedback she ever gave me

597
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: was and when we called too many design run plays,

598
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: she would tell me, don't have him run the ball

599
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: so much. They literally let me coach their boys, which

600
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: was awesome.

601
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 3: Uh, it's fantastic. It's great to learn about him. And

602
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: Kevin mentioned Alberta too. How is Alberto as a quarterback

603
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: the long term?

604
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: You know what he's they're different and and he's he's

605
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: an unbelievable competitor. And he oh he plays with you know,

606
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: people say, oh, you know, Fernando plays with a chip

607
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: on the shoulder. I go. If that's the case, then

608
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Alberto plays with a two by four in his shoulder.

609
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: He's very, very confident in his ability. He's he's an

610
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: absolute killer as a competitor, just like just like Fernando.

611
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: But I but I even think it's probably he takes

612
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: it up a few Nazis. It's I'm excited for his future.

613
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed, you know, and and Alberta will will remind

614
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: Fernando all the time. Alberto never lost a playoff game

615
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Maclumbus High School. They're back to that. We were back

616
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: to back state champions when Alberta was the quarterback, and

617
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: he reminds Fernando that all the time. So it's I'm

618
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: excited for for his future at IU, and I think

619
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: he's just going to be able to carry on the

620
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: mendos A legacy going forward.

621
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 4: Coach last one, and we greatly appreciate your time here

622
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 4: on this Tuesday morning. Again, Da've done with us here,

623
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: Christopher Columbus High School, the head coach of the Mendoza

624
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: brothers back in high school. Have you thought what Saturday

625
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: night will be like for you? I believe Fernando Mendoza

626
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: will be hoisting that Heisman trophy. It will be a

627
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 4: speech for the ages. Have you thought at all about

628
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 4: what your emotions will be come Saturday night?

629
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going up, so I'm pretty excited for it.

630
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: You know. It's not a betting guy, but I would

631
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: bet my house on the fact that he's gonna he's

632
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna win the award. And I just I look at

633
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: a young man who's just put so much work into

634
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: his craft and being a great quarterback and watching him

635
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: have the success at IU and win this award, and

636
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I share the sentiments of coach signetti Is. I truly

637
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: believe it's a team award. He would not be able

638
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: to do this without the great teammates he's in coaching

639
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: staff he's had at IU. I just think it's just

640
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: it's a culmination of of you know, twenty three years

641
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: of hard work or twenty I think he's twenty one,

642
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: twenty one years of hard work, and it's gonna be,

643
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be real special for me

644
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: to watch him hoist the trophy.

645
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: Coach, thank you again for your time this morning. We

646
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Can hear the excitement in your voice. And uh,

647
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: it's gotta be a lot of fun to be around

648
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: that family and that kid and and have fun in

649
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: New York this weekend, my friend.

650
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: Thanks you guys, thanks for having me on.

651
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: You bet they've done. Head football coach at Christopher Columbus

652
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: High School in Miami. He just seems like he's just

653
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: got this infectious personality. But you can't do what you

654
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: do on the field like he does. If you're not

655
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: a killer somewhere in there.

656
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: Boy, I had to laugh here and Da've done described

657
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 4: maybe his mom a little upset at times of too

658
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: many RPOs. Can you imagine what mom was thinking when

659
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: Kay and Curry got that clean look on her son on.

660
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 6: That first spect If we're saying that was a clean hit,

661
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 6: I saw him on the Pat McAfee show, and a

662
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 6: lot of people could say, oh, man, you know, I

663
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 6: shouldn't have done that, or you know that was dirt

664
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: and no like for all the fans out there saying

665
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 6: it was dirty, the quarterback said it wasn't clean.

666
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Kate and Curry, by the way, had a

667
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 4: great game, So shout out to the Center Grove product

668
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 4: for that.

669
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's yeah.

670
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 6: I saw somebody call him a loser, and I laughed

671
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 6: because I was like, yeah, he's from here, and he

672
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 6: did not lose very often in his h high school

673
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: days and not really now either.

674
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: He's one of the best players in the field on

675
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: Saturday night, to say the least. So yeah, it's just,

676
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: you know, hearing more about the Mendoza story, there is

677
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 4: just it's a bit movie like, honestly, and just everything

678
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: that you know he is about, and the unique character

679
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: that he possesses and how he is full. You know,

680
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: in the portal era, I think there is some nervousness

681
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: maybe from longer term college supports fans. You know, do

682
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: you really embrace you know, where you're being and you're

683
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: just chasing the money, and it's one year here, one

684
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 4: year there, and you're just coming here for you know

685
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 4: whatever further your NFL pursuit. And certainly that was a

686
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: big reason why Fernando Mendoza chose Indiana with Kurt Signetti's

687
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 4: history with quarterbacks. But there's a lot more to the

688
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: character of the human being. I think we've grown to

689
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: know that over the last few months, and you know,

690
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: the whole nation has now seen it on display, whether

691
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: a Saturday night or you know, certainly they're going to

692
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: see it at the Heisman Trophy ceremony coming up here

693
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 4: in a few days.

694
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: And the next time we see him it'll be the

695
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 3: Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, as they will.

696
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 6: Stay visit for IU.

697
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 4: Yesterday, Yeah, there are boots on the ground out there

698
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: in Pasadena. So yes four o'clock, Alabama, Oklahoma. I saw

699
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 4: some early lines they'd be right around a touchdown favorite

700
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 4: over either.

701
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: I like it so far. I like it. I like it.

702
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 3: I like it. Welcome into the Fan Morning Show with

703
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: James Woyd back from Jacksonville. How was the lovely city

704
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 3: of Jacksonville. By the way, it was rainy.

705
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 6: I'll say that it was leaking in the press box,

706
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 6: and I kid you not. It was legitimately a trash

707
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 6: can in the middle of the press box to catch

708
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 6: the water. So the renovations can't get done fast enough

709
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 6: down there as far as the game goes. Not to

710
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 6: rub it in because I feel like it's crude to

711
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 6: do that considering the injury and the magnitude the injury.

712
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, I will never pick him the win in Jacksonville.

713
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 6: I'm dead serious on that, And so I see it

714
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 6: with my mom on two eyes.

715
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: James, I was wrong, man.

716
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 4: I looked at you a couple times last week. I

717
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: was like, do you think this curse thing is really real?

718
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 4: And you were adamant that it was and is I

719
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: might I might have believed the curse was real when

720
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: Jones drew the first pick on the first play of

721
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: the game, but then when he went down, I was like,

722
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: oh my gosh.

723
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, And honestly, you know, I said that last week

724
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 6: sort of tongue in cheek, joking a little bit.

725
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: But if you look at it, I don't know. Man,

726
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: Now you have turned me into a believer.

727
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if you were trying or not, but

728
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 4: you you've got me thinking things.

729
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 6: Yeah. But if you look at the eleven losses now

730
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: in a row on the road to Jacksonville, which includes

731
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 6: the one overseas in London back in I believe twenty sixteen,

732
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 6: this might be the most devastating one. And keep in

733
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 6: mind in twenty twenty one they were winning in and

734
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 6: they don't win, they don't get in. But the trickle

735
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 6: down effect of the Daniel Jones Achilles injury is far reaching.

736
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 6: It has implications far beyond this season. So everything is

737
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 6: unclear now, and I have to everyone's doing it, me, Joel.

738
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 6: We're all doing these stories of what happens next. And

739
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 6: it's interesting debate because that's exactly what it is. There

740
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 6: is no right or wrong to me, at least when

741
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 6: it comes to the Shane Stikeen evaluation of Chris ballad evaluation,

742
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 6: and really even the quarterback situation as well. In the

743
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones evaluation. I know people are going to tell

744
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 6: me like, oh, you should do this, and this is

745
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 6: how it goes, and fire everybody to bring everybody back.

746
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 6: I can make legitimate arguments for all of it, and

747
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 6: it just kind of thinks that for however, many years now,

748
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 6: you don't get that full evaluation, especially a quarterback because injury.

749
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: You know, we were looking yesterday and the free agent

750
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: class at quarterback next year is not all that great.

751
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 3: Are we just turning it back over to Anthony Richardson

752
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: at this point in time? I mean, what else are

753
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: they going to be able to do next year? What

754
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: about Philip Rivers next year too? Have you seen the

755
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 3: Colts quarterback situation over the last six years, seven years?

756
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: I will say this answer in Things I think was

757
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: a very accurate depiction by James Boyd a little bit

758
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: earlier in the show. James, you tease something Rivers related.

759
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 6: Yes, I was gonna actually get to that, So I

760
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 6: appreciate you reminding me. I kind of forg got there

761
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 6: for a second. But yes, so here is the situation.

762
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 4: I was kidding, by the way, on Rivers in TWI.

763
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 6: I'm actually not kidding all Rivers in this twenty twenty

764
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 6: six scenario. So he is one of the modern era

765
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 6: players who is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of

766
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 6: Fame class of twenty twenty six. However, if he joins

767
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 6: an active roster, and active roster is key. If he

768
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 6: joins a practice squad, nothing happens. If you join the

769
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 6: active roster of any team, you have to restart your

770
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 6: five year window because you have to wait five years

771
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 6: until after you're done playing to be eligible for the

772
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 6: Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now, I'm not saying he

773
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 6: gets in, doesn't get in, or whatever, but do you

774
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 6: think you all that that factors into his decision at all?

775
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 6: The fact that he would if he just joins the

776
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 6: roster plays one day, not even plays just but ideally,

777
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 6: if he joined the ross, you would play. But would

778
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: he sacrifice another five years of waiting for the Hall

779
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 6: of Fame for one game, possibly of playing football?

780
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: A game I wouldn't want to wait five more years.

781
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 3: That's two more grand kids, man, Hell yeah.

782
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be three more real kids with Philip Rivers's

783
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 4: ability to produce children. So yeah, I I know, James.

784
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 4: When I saw that last night, I was like, yeah,

785
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to be waiting any longer than it is.

786
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 4: Did you guys look at this as embarrassing? I got

787
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: that a lot in the last twelve hours. This is

788
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 4: embarrassing the fact that the Colts are entertaining forty four

789
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: year old Philip Rivers.

790
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: Is the e ward. I don't know.

791
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 5: I saw some people say it was kind of like

792
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 5: Jeff's Saturday press conference esque, where you're like, this can't

793
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 5: be real life? Is this really happening right now? And

794
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 5: the fact that you've gone from the top seed in

795
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 5: the AFC to now calling Philip Rivers to fly in

796
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 5: for a tryout.

797
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: A few weeks later.

798
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 4: I could see where people on that see similarities between

799
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 4: Jeff Saturday and this.

800
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 3: Yes, but here's the thing though, if you're the Cults,

801
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: given the options that are out there and available, what

802
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 3: do you do when Daniel Jones is done for the

803
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: year and probably most, if not all, next year, your

804
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: backup quarterback who's a rookie is hurt? Brett Rippin is

805
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: your next best option currently on staff? Like, other than

806
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: maybe trying to poach somebody I don't even know what

807
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: the list is off somebody's practice squad, Like, what do

808
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: you do where are you gonna go?

809
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 5: What probably going to be someone that is a little

810
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 5: more less old and less retired than Philip Rivers. Though,

811
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 5: like you really have, you've exhausted all your options. This

812
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: is the best you can do is we have to

813
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 5: go to the wayback machine and call Philip Rivers at

814
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 5: forty four years old, who's been out of the league

815
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 5: for almost five years now. There's nobody else. There's not

816
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 5: a single soul. There's not someone from the XFL rolling

817
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: around that can pop in for a game. Jeff Brohm, Yeah,

818
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 5: Tommy Maddocks, what Sam Ellinger doing? Shot out to the

819
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 5: Jeff Broncos.

820
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: On SAT last night. They did make the uh the

821
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: Troy Aikman joke when he was sitting on there.

822
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 4: James, you compare it to Jeff Saturday at all?

823
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 6: You going eward man, I don't know how I go

824
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 6: that far, because to Philip Rivers and his credit, his

825
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 6: resume is much more Yes, he's a Hall of Famer, Yeah,

826
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 6: lengthy than whatever Jeff Saturday had to offer way back

827
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 6: when as what was he like the high school coach

828
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 6: a couple of years before he got that gig. So

829
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 6: I think it's very desperate. It kind of feels like

830
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 6: to me, when the Pacers were terrible back in twenty

831
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 6: twenty one, twenty two and they signed Lan Stevenson, and

832
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 6: it was just like, is.

833
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: This a circus act?

834
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: It was just like, at least it's entertaining. It's kind

835
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 6: of what I think of it. Ass So from that standpoint,

836
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 6: I guess it's not boring. But realistically, yeah, it does

837
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 6: seem kind of ridiculous that you're asking a guy who

838
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 6: hasn't played in five years to come out and work

839
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 6: out and you know, sling the ball for you. But

840
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 6: also I think it's most embarrassing. And I'll say this

841
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 6: is it hopefully a disparaging comment, But Brett Rippon, I'm like, man,

842
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 6: I'm twenty nine. I'll be sitting there like there is

843
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 6: no way a hell a got forty four it is

844
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 6: better than me a quarterback.

845
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

846
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 4: So basically, to summarize it all up, as James just said,

847
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 4: right there, your options right now at quarterback, assuming Ryley

848
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: Leonard is not available to play, let's start there. Knee

849
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 4: injury for Riley Leonard flared up after the game on Sunday.

850
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: If he is not available to go this week in Seattle,

851
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: then right now, the only healthy quarterback on your roster

852
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 4: is Brett Rippon. He is currently on the practice squad.

853
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: He's been at the team for two months. He lasts

854
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 4: through a pass in the NFL in twenty twenty three.

855
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: I think he has four career starts, two and two.

856
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 4: So basically it is either Brett Rippin or else right

857
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 4: and right now, else indicates else.

858
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 6: Right now technically is Tyler Warren. That's their other backup

859
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 6: quarterback currently. So they do have to sign somebody. So

860
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 6: every one out there like, oh why go to Philip River.

861
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 6: They have to get somebody on the roster this week

862
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 6: and they will certainly sign a quarterback, and then I'm

863
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 6: waiting for them as well. Kevin to put Daniel Jones

864
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 6: officially on injured reserve, which opened up another roster spot

865
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: for you, So there's some roster maneuvering that has to

866
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 6: go on anyway. But yeah, the idea that Philip Rivers

867
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 6: is being brought in is, like I said, I had

868
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 6: to make sure I checked my text and I wasn't

869
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 6: getting punked, and you know, I don't want to confirm

870
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 6: anything and say per sources and I'm dead wrong. So

871
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 6: just interesting, Waite for sure.

872
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 4: Jeff, you about a practice squad quarterbacks and Austin. Thank

873
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 4: you for pointing us in this direction. Jeff Driscoll, Kyle Trask,

874
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 4: Mike White, Sean Clifford, Bailey, ZAPPI Yes, Sam Ellinger in Denver,

875
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 4: Clayton Tune, Carter Bradley, the son of Gus Bradley. Wouldn't

876
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 4: that be something? Kyle mccor, Trevor Simeon Sam hart Well.

877
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 6: To be clear, Sam is still actually on the active

878
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 6: roster for Denver. I was the active Yeah, I couldn't

879
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 6: go get him.

880
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 4: This list has him on the Broncos practice quad.

881
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Broncos like active roster right now

882
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 6: on their website.

883
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 5: Oh those are the names Keith mentioned. Just called, couldn't

884
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 5: hang on. Said, wait, he's at least looking for next year.

885
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 5: He's in Kyler Murray and the interest.

886
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 6: We got to go to break. I had to think

887
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 6: about that one. Lord. They had to put a closet

888
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 6: about a track that he would.

889
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 4: Get about it.

890
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 6: I don't know how him and Shane Styking would jive

891
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 6: for that matter.

892
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 4: Say you gotta work out the questions I don't know

893
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 4: about all.

894
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 3: Right, coming up on them. We'll continue to talk about options.

895
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 3: Are they any options? What are those options? How might

896
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: it come to fruition at quarterback for the Colts. We'll

897
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 3: do it next ninety three five one oh seven five

898
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: The Fan, Good morning, Welcome to the Fan Morning Show.

899
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 3: Kevin Bowen, James Boyd back from Jacksonville, where had a

900
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 3: lovely time up there in the press box. And of

901
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 3: course Mark Dyton is always doing great work. PACER's coming

902
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: off a win last night over Sacramento one sixteen, one

903
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: oh five. We'll talk more about that with Rick carlysle

904
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: in about an hour and also get you some details

905
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 3: in a minute or two here. But if you're just

906
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 3: getting in your car and you're warming it up and

907
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 3: you're on your way to work. Question And for the

908
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts with Riley Leonard now banged up and questionable

909
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: at best for Sunday, and know Daniel Jones for a

910
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: while now Brett Rippon who hasn't played in a couple

911
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 3: of years, Colts are looking for a quarterback and it's

912
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 3: it's true. Apparently they're bringing in Philip Rivers for a

913
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 3: workout today to see if there's quote mutual interest unquote

914
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: for him joining the Colts at this point in time.

915
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 3: I can't imagine Kevin he'd come back for anything other

916
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: than just being the starting quarterback for a while, right.

917
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be my assumption with it all, What

918
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: do you think? What do you guys think Shane's dyking

919
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 4: thought processes in this? Like what Shane believes? What what

920
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: could be possible?

921
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: I think he's again, who's out there that can effectively

922
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: run my offense, get us into the right place, put

923
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 3: us in good positions, and make the right reads. I

924
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: think that's why they're looking at Philip Rivers as even

925
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 3: a possibility right now. James, right, I would.

926
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 6: Think so as well. He knows the offense. They talk

927
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 6: ball all the time, so from a playbook standpoint and

928
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 6: getting up to speed, it shouldn't take that long. I mean,

929
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 6: we all heard the stories of out obsessive Philip Rivers

930
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 6: is with his craft and probably still to this day.

931
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 6: I mean again for those who are just doing tuning in,

932
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 6: he actually mentors Roley Leonard throughout the offseason. Roley's parents

933
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 6: down there and fair Hope, Alabama, live about five minutes

934
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 6: away from Philip Rivers. That according to the potential future

935
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame quarterback. So he is around the game

936
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 6: a lot, still very invested in it, but from a

937
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: physical standpoint, I'm just very curious to know what he

938
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 6: can do because it's not like this guy's been training

939
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 6: for this. I would imagine over the last five years

940
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 6: he hasn't been, you know, knocking on doors saying, hey,

941
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 6: get me back in the league. I think he would

942
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 6: have had opportunity by now, So I'm very curious to

943
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 6: know if we get a chance to speak with him

944
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 6: at some point they actually do go through and sign them,

945
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 6: with his thought process, with the you know eight and

946
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 6: five record, the opportunity to perhaps get back in the

947
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 6: playoffs and playing for something.

948
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 4: I think we played the audio during training camp. I remember,

949
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 4: correctly Mark where Philip Rivers went on Dan Patrick's show

950
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 4: and shared the story of him almost coming back and

951
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: joining the Colts in twenty twenty one as Carson Wentz

952
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 4: was having his issues late in the season. I remember

953
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 4: when the forty nine ers had their quarterback injuries a

954
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 4: couple of years ago in their playoff run. Kyle Shanahan

955
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 4: has said that Rivers was their contingency plan potentially in

956
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 4: that run that lost the NFC title game. I think

957
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 4: the Saints also had some late season interest. So I

958
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 4: say this in all seriousness and that I am just

959
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 4: simply relaying Philip Rivers' words to you. But what he

960
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 4: told Dan Patrick in the interview was late in seasons.

961
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 4: In recent years he has put on full pads and

962
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 4: worked out in Alabama. Now again, I know some people

963
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 4: are probably laughing at the thought of, you know, literally

964
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 4: a grandfather going out there at the age of forty

965
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 4: three turned forty four yesterday, forty three years old and

966
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 4: putting full pads on at the local high school field.

967
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 4: Sounds like a scene from a Friday Night Lights movie

968
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 4: with Tim Riggins. But yeah, that's indeed what's happened here.

969
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 4: So I guess to answer my own question, it would

970
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 4: reference simply be a chess you know, Are you thinking

971
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 4: that you're going to somehow chess match your way into

972
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: converting a couple third and fours down the field. I mean,

973
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 4: that's because me imagining Philip Rivers trying to run away

974
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 4: from the Seahawks defense is one of the more frightening

975
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 4: thoughts I've had. I mean, you thought it looked bad

976
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 4: with Matt Ryan was in the fetal position. Do you

977
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: imagine if that Seahawks pass rush gets humming and they

978
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: are one of the best defenses in the league bar none.

979
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 4: And also, James, you can be looking at a rookie

980
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 4: right tackle on Sunday too, with Braden Smith's situation in

981
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: concussion protocol and dealing with the neck injury. So again

982
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: to answer it, I guess Shane's thought is, we have

983
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: no other better options. I believe in the chess match

984
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 4: more than anything Monday through Saturday. And this guy still

985
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: has a brain and knows my offense. And again, I

986
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 4: know there are a lot of people that are laughing

987
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 4: at it. I'm trying to just simply put myself in

988
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 4: chainsie can shoes and say, what in the world are

989
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 4: the cults thinking here?

990
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 3: Scott Johnston did a quick bit of research for us

991
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 3: during the break and Scotty points out it's not an

992
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: all inclusive list, but some of the current practice squad quarterbacks,

993
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,959
Speaker 3: Mark Rippon of course here in Indianapolis, Kyle McCord, Brett Rippin, Sorry,

994
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 3: Mark was back with the Cult or the Redskins. Sorry

995
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 3: about that. Kyle McCord Eagles, Tim Boyle Jets, Jarrett Stidham

996
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 3: with the Broncos, Adrian Martinez with the forty nine ers,

997
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: Malik Cunningham with the Patriots not at all star list.

998
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 3: Does just Jarrett Stidham interest you at all? A guy

999
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 3: that it started and played in the NFL for at

1000
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: least some experience.

1001
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 4: So again, it's not a guarantee that just because these

1002
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 4: guys are on the practice squad they would a join

1003
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 4: you on your team. And obviously they wouldn't know your system.

1004
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: Now you know that's the big thing too. I think

1005
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 4: we've not really discussed that part of it. Well for

1006
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: anybody who thinks, oh, they could just go sign this

1007
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 4: guy with the practice squad somewhere else, Yes, but then

1008
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: you're asking him to learn your entire offense, right chess match,

1009
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 4: That's what I mean. Yeah, I mean that Rivers acumen wise, No,

1010
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: I agree with.

1011
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 6: You from the River standpoint. I mean for anybody else

1012
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 6: thinking well, why not anybody else other than him? And

1013
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 6: it's like, well, yeah, there's pros and cons to both

1014
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 6: of it, because even if you are younger and healthier

1015
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 6: and I probably still probably lean more towards that, and

1016
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 6: perhaps some of the physical traits, you don't know the offense.

1017
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 6: And again, this isn't You're not running you know, the

1018
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 6: old high school run left and just be more athletic

1019
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 6: than the other guy. No, this is, like you said,

1020
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 6: one of the best defenses in the NFL, and you're

1021
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: trying to just get a basic understanding of the offer

1022
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,280
Speaker 6: to go out there and perform. So that is tough.

1023
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 3: I mean, part of me thinks.

1024
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 4: We're just splitting hairs between Are we debating a fourteen

1025
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 4: for twenty nine stat line or a twelve or twenty

1026
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 4: seven stat line.

1027
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 6: Well, I'm actually debating whether or not you know. I

1028
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 6: mean you know, so, So here's here's here's what I'm debating.

1029
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 6: And I think Phil Rivers should have this conversation himself.

1030
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 6: You are contemplating coming out of retirement, you should also

1031
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 6: be contemplating being sent back into retirement physically. Because I'm serious.

1032
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 6: If I am a Seattle Seahawks defender, I am saying,

1033
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 6: please bring this guy out of retirement so I could

1034
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 6: remind him why he left. I'm dead serious on that.

1035
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 6: I would love the opportunity to say I sack a

1036
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer. I wouldn't care hold he is and

1037
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 6: still counts. So keep that in mind. Over, I love you.

1038
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 3: There's no mercy on the field in the NFL. But whatsoever,

1039
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 3: that's how that goes. So that's that's where the Colts

1040
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 3: are out and they talk about a forty four year

1041
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 3: old coming in if there's mutual interest, and of course

1042
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 3: I would imagine Phillips. According to Adam Schefter, it was

1043
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 3: about is he ready to go all in on this

1044
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 3: for the rest of the year, and the Colts obviously

1045
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 3: want to look and see what's left with that arm?

1046
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 3: How does he move a little bit at this point

1047
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: in time. It's gonna be wild out there today. It's

1048
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 3: gonna be wild. This is not like your Tuesday kicker

1049
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 3: workout here.

1050
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 6: Nah, certainly not. I'm curious though, when that list drops

1051
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 6: later in the day where they show us who the

1052
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,439
Speaker 6: workouts are the NFL, I supposed to the transactions list,

1053
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 6: if there is anybody else they brought.

1054
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 4: Well, the Colts have to sign a quarterback, like, let's

1055
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 4: get that out of the way. If Riley Leonard is

1056
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 4: in doubt for Sunday, the only healthy quarterback of the

1057
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 4: four again torny Kee Daniel Jones Anthony richardson eye injury

1058
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 4: is not returning it anytime soon. Riley Leonard, if Adam

1059
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 4: Schefter is correct on it week to week was the

1060
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: designation that Adam Schefter gave with a knee ligament injury

1061
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 4: for Leonard Brett Rippon. Is it so you got to

1062
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 4: do something?

1063
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: Uh?

1064
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 4: Probably today, I would assume maybe tomorrow.

1065
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: Again.

1066
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 4: Late in the season, teams transition, and this is probably

1067
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: worth pointing out too. You now only really practice, and

1068
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 4: a lot of teams do this. You now only practice

1069
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 4: two days a week. You know, earlier in the season

1070
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 4: you practiced three days a week. Does that change you

1071
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 4: know anything of your thought process at all? To walk

1072
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 4: through on Wednesday, you know what? And then a practice

1073
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 4: on Thursday and Friday.

1074
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 6: So bring me Oscar Fry Brownsburg starting quarterback, back to

1075
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 6: back state chefs. He's won a few games in the

1076
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 6: NFL stadiums.

1077
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 4: How about just Miles McLoughlin offense the whole game.

1078
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 6: I thought about him too, Bring a both in for

1079
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 6: a workout, give a tour of the place. Not letting

1080
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 6: met uncle Phil And yeah, Oscar, Miles mclofflin, keep your

1081
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 6: phone ready, your boy might be calling.

1082
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, are we thinking anything?

1083
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones plays football next year.

1084
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 6: So this is one of the things where I don't

1085
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 6: understand why people approach this injury like this, and I'm

1086
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 6: saying this tongue in cheek when there are reporters who

1087
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 6: are like, and I think it was Ian Rappaport, all,

1088
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 6: he'll be back.

1089
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 4: You know.

1090
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 6: The timeline is nine to twelve months for an achilles,

1091
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 6: so he should be ready to go by you know,

1092
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 6: the start of next season. What like, when have we

1093
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 6: ever seen any athlete even if they could come back

1094
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 6: in nine months, Like, when's the last time we saw

1095
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 6: an athlete come back in nine months from achilles that

1096
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 6: was a quarterback of an NFL team, Like, the dude

1097
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 6: probably should rush back to get back out there if

1098
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 6: this is what could be a career altering injury if

1099
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 6: you don't handle it the right way. So I think

1100
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 6: at the earliest we're looking at a twelve month recovery,

1101
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 6: which will put him again in December of next year,

1102
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 6: which is the end of next season, which is the

1103
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 6: majority of next season being missed. So I just don't

1104
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 6: understand anybody who just automatic thinks, oh, you know, I

1105
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 6: get it. The optimism fans do it. I've done it

1106
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 6: where it's like, oh, this guy's gonna be out eight

1107
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 6: to twelve weeks. Well, all mast he's gonna be back

1108
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 6: in eight weeks. What and that was it Rogers?

1109
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 4: Not that he looked good when he came back, but

1110
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: what was Rogers?

1111
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think, because he tore his like the

1112
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 6: first game of the what was it, twenty twenty three season,

1113
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 6: and so I guess that's a little bit different Kevin

1114
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 6: because he had a full year to get ready for

1115
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 6: the start of the next season. But I don't know,

1116
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 6: like he had a training camp, probably with Daniel. I

1117
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,720
Speaker 6: just it's bleak, to say the least.

1118
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 3: A lot of people on the text line have some

1119
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 3: questions too, a lot of things about why not get

1120
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 3: a why not go trade for Russell Wilson quarterback three?

1121
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 3: He could ask for his release.

1122
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 6: I mean, he can't trade for him.

1123
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 4: You know, yesterday, Jeff, when we had this conversation, I

1124
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 4: thought the best I say this in quote, the best

1125
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 4: case scenario for the Colts was to have a Flacco

1126
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 4: or Russell Wilson behind the scenes handshake agreement will cut

1127
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 4: you you go start there because again we're post trade deadline,

1128
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 4: so you can't trade for these guys. That's my thought process.

1129
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 4: And you know, we talked about the Brett Rippon quote

1130
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 4: from earlier when Change Takin spoke with us yesterday, and

1131
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 4: you know, he asked him about, Hey, is Brett Riplan

1132
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: going to start a fryle Leondar can't go. He was

1133
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 4: very vague in that answer. I thought, Oh, the cults

1134
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: are doing something different. Obviously Philip Rivers is very different.

1135
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 4: And just to be clear, and James, I don't know

1136
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 4: if you saw something else. I keep on getting asked

1137
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 4: about Ellinger. Ellener is on the Broncos practice squad.

1138
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 6: Right I believe he's on their active roster. Okay, I

1139
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 6: thought he was on their practice I'm looking at because

1140
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 6: never Bronco's active roster right now on their website, So

1141
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,959
Speaker 6: unless it hasn't been updated, he is on their active roster.

1142
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 6: You can't go get him.

1143
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: So if he's on their active roster, yes you can.

1144
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 4: Even if he's on their practice squad. It's a two

1145
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 4: way street. But I think Ellener is the one people

1146
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: bring up because he obviously was here with Stichen.

1147
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know.

1148
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 4: At least is you know, participating somewhat in an NFL

1149
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 4: practice versus Philip Rivers, is you know, burping his grandson.

1150
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 3: A lot of people on the text line also more

1151
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 3: than one Brett and one of them saying, what about

1152
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 3: Josh Bean Jason Bean? Jason Beany wrote Josh, but yeah,

1153
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 3: Jason be.

1154
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 4: I mean again, Jason. Unless I've missed it, James as

1155
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 4: Jason Bean on an NFL roster.

1156
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 6: I'm not sure I have not thought about him.

1157
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, all these options, I mean, I mean

1158
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 4: we're all saying, I mean doing all these options just stink?

1159
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 4: Aren't we just like literally going roundabout ways? I said

1160
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 4: a few minutes ago. Are we splitting hairs between a

1161
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,360
Speaker 4: stat line that's fourteen for thirty one for one hundred

1162
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 4: and seventy yards and two interceptions versus fifteen for twenty

1163
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 4: eight and one hundred and sixteen yards and one interception.

1164
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 3: Ellinger is on the Broncos practice squad.

1165
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 6: By the way, where is this information? I'm dead serious?

1166
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 5: When the Broncos beat writers because they said they sign

1167
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 5: a X Raiders running back and then listened to practice

1168
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 5: squad and Ellinger is there? Interesting Rare sit them the

1169
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 5: backup of the Broncos on the active roster.

1170
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 3: Red Slurpy just checked in, just tuned in. Well, has

1171
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 3: it been mentioned that Phillip's oldest kid is older than

1172
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 3: eight Colts players.

1173
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 6: I know nothing about that man's family. That it's a

1174
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 6: big kids, seven girls, three boys.

1175
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: More information on red slurpye.

1176
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 6: Yeah you reading these text line names, it's crazy again.

1177
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 4: In the non quarterback news item from yesterday, line the

1178
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 4: fact that Mooney Ward is in concussion protocol again was

1179
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 4: just It was one of the more jarring internal reactions James.

1180
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 4: I've had to hearing an injury update in quite a while,

1181
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 4: Like obviously the scene of Daniel Jones slamming his helmet

1182
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 4: on the turf, all of that, but three times in

1183
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 4: concussion protocol in three months now for Travarious Ward. I

1184
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 4: cannot recall the last time, if ever, I've seen a

1185
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 4: Colts player in concussion protocol that many times in such

1186
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 4: a short time frame. Shane Sekin said yesterday developed some

1187
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 4: symptoms after the game. That's where things are at. And

1188
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 4: I mean, how do you not just think about his

1189
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 4: literal future of This is a guy three weeks ago

1190
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 4: telling us he debated playing football again after the last concussion,

1191
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 4: and now here he is three games later, back in

1192
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 4: concussion protocol.

1193
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 6: Yeah. I really feel for him, and he's been through

1194
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 6: so much the last two years and we've talked about it.

1195
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 6: His daughter unfortunately passed away last October, so he's been

1196
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 6: very candid about that and very publicly candid about that

1197
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 6: and the grief that he's gone through and how it's

1198
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,919
Speaker 6: way on his mental health. And it might have been

1199
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 6: last week Kevin when we were playing the audio of

1200
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 6: him saying, Yeah, I gotta get my mind and my

1201
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 6: heart right to go out there physically play. I can't

1202
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 6: play with my mind as cloudy. Yes, So he said

1203
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 6: that last Monday exactly, and you factor that in to

1204
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,879
Speaker 6: now another concussion. I do wonder if a guy who

1205
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 6: and keep in mind, he has a very accomplished career.

1206
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 6: Oh there is nothing left from a football standpoint that

1207
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 6: he really.

1208
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 4: All not to get into finances but.

1209
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 6: Made the money. So if there, you know, there's other

1210
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 6: guys who might suffer injuries. And it's like, man, I'm

1211
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 6: a fringe guy.

1212
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 4: He's not an undrafted free agent playing his first year

1213
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 4: in the NFA.

1214
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 6: No, He's an undrafted free agent that pretty much beat

1215
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 6: all odds to have a remarkable career. He might be

1216
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 6: one of the best undrafted free agents of the last

1217
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 6: decade in the NFL. So my heart goes out to

1218
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 6: the guy. Very good dude from all accounts, and just

1219
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 6: going through a tough time. And the last thing I'll

1220
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 6: say on that, Kevin, I remember being in the locker

1221
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 6: room in Kansas City and shout out to Dominic Miranda WHR.

1222
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 6: He asked, Chivarius, hey, when you got hit by that

1223
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 6: guy the blindside block when we got knocked and we

1224
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 6: were all thinking, boys, that's your third customer right there,

1225
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 6: and he told us yeah. I almost started crying because

1226
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 6: I was scared to get up, he said, because I

1227
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 6: thought if I got up dizzy And he was like,

1228
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 6: and he told us at that moment, he was like,

1229
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 6: if that happened, I'll probably be out for the season.

1230
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 6: And that message is ringing in my head right now

1231
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 6: of I'm gonna be out for the season, because I mean,

1232
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 6: I would not expect him to be back. Seriously, I

1233
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 6: wouldn't bank on it. So tough situation and in the

1234
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 6: grand scheme of things. A while you got what one

1235
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 6: game of Javaria's Ward in Sauce Garden right now, it's

1236
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 6: tough break.

1237
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 3: That's the immediate for the Indianapolis Coults. I also want

1238
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 3: to talk about, you know, he started thinking about what's

1239
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 3: the future for this team with no first round picks

1240
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 3: for the next two years, do you have to just

1241
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 3: go spend a lot of money. There's no real big

1242
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 3: time free agent out there at quarterback. It's gonna be

1243
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 3: really interesting to see what they do. Is Anthony Richardson

1244
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 3: completely out? I mean, he's eight and seven as a starter,

1245
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 3: It's not like he's been a disaster. What do you do.

1246
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: Well?

1247
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 4: I said to you yesterday, Jeff in my you know,

1248
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,919
Speaker 4: twelve hour, eighteen hour immediate reaction to watching Daniel Jones

1249
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 4: terrors Achilles, My brief, brief, gut reaction to what twenty

1250
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 4: twenty six would look like was probably Anthony Richardson, as

1251
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 4: wild as that sounds. Now again, you've got not that

1252
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 4: Richardson has earned the right for this, but you know,

1253
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 4: if you're on the Richardson camp, we've obviously seen people

1254
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 4: like to leave certain situations. Is this situation where you

1255
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 4: definitely want to be?

1256
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 3: You know?

1257
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 4: They I think his agent has expressed publicly some disagreements

1258
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 4: about how the Cults have handled things, So that's a

1259
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 4: hurdle you still need to clear. Not to mention obviously

1260
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 4: his eye situation, and then again, who who's making these decisions.

1261
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: I think that's the bigger question right there.

1262
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 4: So we'll find out here over the final four weeks.

1263
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 3: Man, Okay, in less than a month, we have gone

1264
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: from everybody talking about this team being the surprise team

1265
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 3: of the year, and look what Daniel Jones is doing now,

1266
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: and they're running the ball, Jonathan Taylor's up and over everybody,

1267
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: and they're leading the league and scoring and people are

1268
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 3: starting to think, hey, maybe forget playoffs, maybe maybe there's

1269
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 3: a deep run coming up here. It's just all at once,

1270
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 3: just over the course of two weeks gone away. Yeah,

1271
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 3: and the window is wide open. Then, just slammed on

1272
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 3: our fingers.

1273
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 4: And for those that are still wanting to follow the

1274
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 4: close playoff picture, like last night's result was a big blow.

1275
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the Chargers, they have

1276
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 4: one of the harder schedules the rest of the season,

1277
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 4: and you have the head to head over them. So

1278
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 4: if you know, for those in the camp of how

1279
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 4: do the Colts make the playoffs, what's the best route possible?

1280
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 4: I've kind of looked at the standings and thought, you

1281
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 4: and the Chargers tied, because if you're tied, you've got

1282
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 4: the head to head and you're in And now the

1283
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 4: Chargers won last night, so they're at nine and four.

1284
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 4: You're at eight and five, so now you have to

1285
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 4: make up a game on them the rest of the way,

1286
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 4: and your schedule obviously is difficult as well. And you're

1287
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 4: looking at Gosh, when I say this out loud, I'm

1288
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 4: picturing like, all of a sudden, one of my kids

1289
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 4: is going to crawl into bed and I wake up

1290
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 4: from this dream. But I'm literally about to say, you

1291
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 4: could be looking at Philip Rivers starting the final four games.

1292
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 4: Is that a dreamer or a nightmare?

1293
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 3: It's a little reminiscent remember when he.

1294
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 6: Was If he makes it through four games at the.

1295
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Very and it's completely different. I get it. But at

1296
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 3: the very end of his baseball career, remember Roger Clemens

1297
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 3: would come on only in the second half of the

1298
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 3: season for the Houston Astros. He's like, my body can

1299
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: do this for this amount of time. Maybe Philip Rivers

1300
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 3: is like, I can do this for a month or two.

1301
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 4: At James's point eleven men trying to kill you on

1302
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 4: every snap A little different than a broken bat from

1303
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 4: Mike Piazza being.

1304
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 3: Hell, that's I say it's not this the only thing

1305
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 3: I can even come up with that where a guy

1306
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 3: is saying I can do this for a month, maybe two.

1307
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 3: But to your point too, James, they're coming to get you.

1308
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, So real quick, our playoff projection model at the

1309
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 6: athletic which factor is into Daniel Jones injury? Through Week

1310
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 6: fourteen in the NFL, the Colts currently have a twenty

1311
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 6: four percent chance to make the playoffs. How much does

1312
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 6: that fluctuate or change if they signed Philip Rivers because

1313
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 6: the model would would be skewed a bit in favor.

1314
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 6: I guess of that signing, but I don't know, man.

1315
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 4: It was right around even with the loss. I think

1316
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 4: it was right around, like a coin flip, even with

1317
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: losing in Jacksonville.

1318
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 6: Right, it was like fifty one something.

1319
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 4: Again, if you purely want to play the numbers game.

1320
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 6: Just explain to coin flip right there.

1321
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, people, Welcome to my world, James, A coin flip.

1322
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 4: You know, a chance over the final four weeks. It's

1323
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 4: not the most Outlanders thought. Uh, but of course now

1324
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 4: you're factoring in the quarterback situation at all. So yeah,

1325
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 4: last night, and you know, if you want to look

1326
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 4: ahead to this week. The Colts are double digit underdog

1327
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 4: at Seattle, and Houston and Jacksonville are both touchdown plus

1328
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 4: favorites at home. I want to say Jacksonville is the

1329
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 4: Jets and the Texans have the Cardinals. Maybe it's vice

1330
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 4: versa on that. So yeah, I mean, if you want

1331
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 4: to play out the Vegas odds, which you know, be

1332
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 4: careful of the NFL. But this doesn't look like great

1333
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 4: week at all.

1334
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's check it down right now, Mark and

1335
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 3: tell everybody what we do know at this point in time, gentlemen,

1336
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 3: we do know the Indiana Pacers have won four of

1337
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 3: their last six. They win last night against the Sacramento

1338
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 3: Kings over at the field House. Fun game to watch

1339
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. One sixteen one oh five was

1340
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 3: the final score. Andrew Nemhark twenty eight points, twelve assists.

1341
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Benedict Mathern had twenty five points, passcal siakam Mad twenty three.

1342
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 3: Did I see Russell Westbrook with a triple double last night?

1343
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 3: James for Sacramento.

1344
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie. When I was looking at him

1345
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 6: on my TV screen, I was thinking, you could have

1346
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 6: been a pacer. Could have been a pacer.

1347
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 3: Kevin Man, oh man, but they went four.

1348
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 4: Greater than Russell Westbrook's.

1349
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Oh lord, how much fun is he to watch?

1350
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Though?

1351
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 3: Just keeping every ball alive in the fourth quarter last night.

1352
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 4: So if Russell Westbrook can do it, can Philip Evers

1353
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 4: do it?

1354
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Russ hasn't stopped. That's one one forty four Friday night.

1355
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 3: The next game for the Indiana Pacers will be on

1356
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 3: the road to take on the Philadelphia seventy six ers

1357
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 3: seven o'clock, ten times six point thirty right here on

1358
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 3: ninety three five and when I was seven to five,

1359
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 3: the fan Colts of Zius coming up four to twenty

1360
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 3: five PM on Sunday. James Boyd, if you had to bet,

1361
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 3: who would be the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts

1362
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon up in the northwest, Philip Rivers.

1363
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 6: Let's get crazy. You don't let this get out there

1364
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 6: for nothing, So sign them, tell them, turn back the clock,

1365
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 6: get the bing gay ready, let's roll.

1366
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 3: Colts are eight and five. They're currently in eighth place

1367
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 3: in the AFC. As Kevin pointed out, last night's Sunday

1368
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 3: night football game, not good for the Colts. Twenty two

1369
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 3: to nineteen overtime win for Justin Herbert and the Los

1370
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 3: Angeles Chargers. But here's the question. It's not just at quarterback.

1371
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 3: There is a long list of injuries right now for

1372
01:04:58,120 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts.

1373
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got the three quarter Braden Smith neck concussion,

1374
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 4: So could be looking at Jalen Travis, the rookie out

1375
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 4: of Iowa State as the starter. The old line's been

1376
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 4: really healthy this season, but could be looking at a

1377
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 4: new starter there. Defensively again, Mooney Ward, we talked about it.

1378
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 4: Just awful, third time in concussion protocol this year. I

1379
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 4: still get the vibe Sauce Gardner not yet and the force, Butner,

1380
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. Part of me thinks next week, not

1381
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 4: this week, but that remains to be seen.

1382
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 3: College football Heisman invitees have been announced. Fernando Mendoza from

1383
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 3: Indiana is on his way to New York City for

1384
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 3: the ceremony there, Julian saying from Ohio State, your guy

1385
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love getting a little attention there. He'll be up

1386
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 3: on stage there. And Diego Pavia from Vanderbilt is going

1387
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 3: to be there as well. By the way, saw on

1388
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 3: the paper this morning. Positional mister Football's have been announced.

1389
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 3: Some of the area guys Miles McLoughlin have been following

1390
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 3: all year long from Knox, but defensive lineman Jeremy Finch

1391
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 3: from more In Central, kicker Van and Chris al Off

1394
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 3: from Center Grove. So that's positional mister footballs. This year.

1395
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 3: It was a fun year in high school football here

1396
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 3: in Indiana.

1397
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 6: It always is. In my opinion, that's not a cliche.

1398
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 6: I love it, so shout out to all those who

1399
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 6: got a chance to play under the lights.

1400
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk a little bit more about the

1401
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 3: cult situation at quarterback and some good news the Indiana Pacers.

1402
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 3: Like I said, fun fourth quarter last night and they

1403
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 3: have won four out of six. We'll talk more about

1404
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,880

1405
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 3: U Penn State.

1406
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 4: It's an eight thirty tip tonight in Bloomington. According to Vegas,

1407
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 4: Penn State is horrific. Fifteen and a half point favorite

1408
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 4: for IU and again two straight losses for the Hoosiers.

1409
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: All right, it's coming up in a moment, we'll talk

1410
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 3: a little Pacers and more cults along with your comments

Speaker 3: notes on the text line. Either way, we'll get to

1414
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,840

Speaker 7: Jam with the number one Indiana Hoosiers getting to win

1418
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 7: in a carry of five yards for Videll.

1419
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 8: That was a great game. Congratulations to Kurt Signetti, the

1420
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 8: head coach, and the Indiana Hoosiers, and to you, Joe

1421

Speaker 8: and all Hooters to do well. There's I mean, that

1422
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 8: was fun. That was a big win. And what I

1423
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 8: mean you know how I feel about coach Signetty. What

1424
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 8: he's done is nothing short of incredible.

1425
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it couldn't agree more.

1426
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 8: Guy just wins.

1427
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Google them.

1428
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 3: Everybody's talking about Kurt Signetti right now. How about how

1429
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 3: about just an Indiana domination of Monday Night football last night?

1430
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 3: The whole pregame about Philip Rivers and then talking about

1431
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 3: Kurt Signetti during the broadcast right there, let's go. Kurtzignetti

1432
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 3: is what do you say about this guy? This is

1433
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 3: one of the great stories we've been around. Kevin.

1434
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 4: It's amazing, said it to yesterday. It's the greatest I

1435
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 4: said after the Orgon game, It's greatest coaching job, college

1436
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 4: or pro sports. Funny, I was talking with someone that's

1437
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 4: dealt with Kurtzig, n Eddie, I would say it's fair

1438
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 4: to say dealt with more of the personal human side,

1439
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 4: not the football coach side, the blue gator aid of

1440
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 4: the press conference side, the the you know, obviously demeanor

1441
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 4: on the sidelines, you know, dealt with him a little

1442
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 4: bit more in a personal human element, in a very

1443
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 4: non in front of the camera way, and said he

1444
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 4: could not be more just down to earth and personable

1445
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 4: and like, you know, respectful, caring, like not like I'm

1446
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 4: the you know what, third highest paid coach in college football,

1447
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,480
Speaker 4: like not that ego whatsoever.

1448
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 3: And so I thought that was kind of cool to hear, because.

1449
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 4: You see so much of the persona of him, and

1450
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 4: you know, it seems almost wwe like at times with

1451
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 4: Kurtzig out of here, so boots on the ground for

1452
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 4: Little Rose Bull visit yesterday for some members of the

1453
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 4: athletic department, and now they will await a week from

1454
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 4: Friday Alabama, Oklahoma, and then I you in the Rose

1455
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 4: Bowl coming up January.

1456
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 3: First.

1457
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 4: Of course four o'clock, right, you have to have the

1458
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 4: sun setting when the fourth quarter starts. Is that why

1459
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 4: we kick off at four o'clock at the Rose Bull.

1460
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 3: Three thirty or four every year? Yeah, gotta love that.

1461
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 3: And I just when you watch in the end, he

1462
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 3: watched him. I'll never like. It's always entertaining to me.

1463
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 3: He's on that sideline, James. He he looks mildly irritated

1464
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 3: at all times, doesn't he. I don't know if I

1465
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 3: put it mildly no, but I'm saying, even if there's

1466
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 3: just nothing going on, he just looks irritated over there.

1467
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 6: I like to smirk. Even after they won that game,

1468
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 6: he just smirking like.

1469
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,959
Speaker 4: That was the hardest he tried to hide it. Yeah,

1470
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 4: when he was walking to Fine Ryan Day. Yeah, we

1471
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 4: got surprised. Jake Querry put this pull out before the

1472
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 4: game on Saturday. I was a little surprised by this.

1473
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 4: Jacob's question for indyannafics, if you were guaranteed a win

1474
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 4: tomorrow over Ohio State, but in exchange, you would not

1475
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 4: make a hoops Final four until at least twenty thirty five.

1476
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 4: Would you make that deal so you win the Big

1477
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 4: Ten title, but no hoops Final four for another ten years.

1478
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 4: Seventy percent of people said yes, they would take the

1479
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 4: Big Ten championship.

1480
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 6: I'm actually very surprised as that high.

1481
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 3: I was stunned. That's probably immediate gratification right now though,

1482
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 3: right that's the shark, that's the shiny, sparkly object right

1483
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 3: in front of you right now.

1484
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 4: Well yeah, but I mean this is also pregame, right

1485
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 4: and I think we've talked about it all along. Obviously

1486
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 4: Saturday Night mattered Indiana. You never want to, you know,

1487
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 4: Big Ten championship. It's Ohio State, et cetera, et cetera.

1488
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 6: But you thought have been more in the SEC.

1489
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 4: You'd rather have that than thirty two straight years without

1490
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 4: a Final four at least thirty two According to Jake's

1491
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 4: hypothetical here.

1492
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 6: I'm sucked because this is a state that's supposed to

1493
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,839
Speaker 6: be different for basketball. You guys are liars.

1494
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 4: Would you rather win Saturday Night or win the quarterfinal game.

1495
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 3: Of the Rosebull.

1496
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,520
Speaker 6: That's a really good question. Man, give me the quarterfinal

1497
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 6: game because we're staying alived for a national championship, right,

1498
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 6: you'd think so, I mean, you can talk about the

1499
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 6: scars of maybe not winning, and.

1500
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 4: You would beat an SEC team, which might matter some people.

1501
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 3: We don't.

1502
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 6: I thought I've been more in the SEC, Kevin, can

1503
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 6: you explain to me?

1504
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 4: I know we don't people talk about the SEC like

1505
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 4: I thought, in all seriousness, I thought it was important

1506
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 4: for Notre Dame not only to make the national title

1507
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 4: last year, but to beat an SEC team on the way. Yeah,

1508
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 4: and that SEC team being Georgia too.

1509
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 3: I like that. But I also think it was important

1510
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:47,600
Speaker 3: to a lot of people who've grown up here and

1511
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 3: been who's your fans their whole life. If that big

1512
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 3: dench championship game had to been against Penn State or Wisconsin,

1513
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 3: that'd be great. That nobody's going to turn that down

1514
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 3: and you get all fired up and you're still happy.

1515
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 3: But I think it meant somehow a little bit more

1516
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 3: that it was Ohio State if not Michigan. I think

1517
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 3: those two teams would have been different to play in

1518
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 3: that championship game. Not only are you undefeated, not only

1519
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 3: are you playing in this Big Ten championship game. But

1520
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 3: you're gonna beat either Ohio State or Michigan along the way,

1521
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 3: I think that would. I think who it was made

1522
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:18,799
Speaker 3: a little bit of a difference.

1523
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 4: Don't you come the final four for thirty two straight years?

1524
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 6: Nah, they're a liars.

1525
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 4: There's no way you said yes, folks.

1526
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,640
Speaker 6: This is like when I'm watching Family Feud and they

1527
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 6: say one hundred people we polled and they give some

1528
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 6: absurd answer. I'm like, fortyse hundred people. We need to

1529
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 6: diversify the crowd.

1530
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so show me the group, because there's no way

1531
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 5: now I'm going to lean towards the younger crowd, perhaps

1532
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 5: being on Twitter and not suffering through the previous you know,

1533
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 5: having many years since I've been relevant in men's basketball

1534
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 5: from a championship standpoint.

1535
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 6: So, nah, I can't. I can't get with that.

1536
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 4: One thing I want to make sure we mentioned from

1537
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 4: the game on Saturday night is I'm in a text chain.

1538
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 4: Definitely some die hard IU fans and they brought up

1539
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 4: one of the bigger compliments they felt on Saturday night

1540
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 4: was the Ohio State And again yesterday, what was my

1541
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 4: thought process? Pretty much the whole day, I use defense,

1542
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 4: like yes, Feranana Meidos is going to hoist his Heisman

1543
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 4: trophy on Saturday night. But the Indiana defense is what

1544
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 4: makes them this team. And the fact that Ohio State

1545
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 4: felt the need or have to run a trick play

1546
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 4: in a game that again for Ohio State's purposes, like

1547
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,839
Speaker 4: you would think they circle Michigan more where they circle

1548
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 4: this playoff run more and not just like a flea

1549
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:43,679
Speaker 4: flicker or not just you know whatever, you know, some

1550
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,600
Speaker 4: sort of like semi trick play, like they run this

1551
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 4: like double pass with you know, some crazy elements to

1552
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,679
Speaker 4: it to try and get down the field in Indiana

1553
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 4: because they can't move it normally. With jeremih Smith with

1554
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 4: Carnel Tait with the Heisman finalist Julian saying they couldn't

1555
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 4: move the football normally down the field, they had to

1556
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 4: revert to troation quite the trick play to try and

1557
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 4: do that. You know, that was quite the compliment to

1558
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 4: Brian Haynes and company there. I thought that was a

1559
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 4: great point.

1560
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 6: Here's one for you. This is from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says,

1561
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 6: the philip Rivers work out what the Colts took place

1562
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 6: Monday nights per Source through the ball. Well, we'll see

1563
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 6: what's next. And I can actually confirm that as well. Yeah,

1564
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 6: I got some trying to do the Source game. People

1565
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 6: just let you know. It's the weirdest thing ever, because

1566
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 6: when you reach out to somebody and they give you

1567
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 6: present or past tense, you're just like, huh so, but yeah,

1568
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 6: apparently this happened last night and they're going to see

1569
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 6: from there. So I guess today is all about figuring

1570
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 6: out the details.

1571
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 4: Just where you inserted the joke of the grandpa woke

1572
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 4: up after working out a little bit and you want

1573
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 4: to see how he feels. I guess so, and like

1574
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 4: I'm kind of joking, kind of serious though, but.

1575
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 3: It sounds like he works out every day. And I

1576
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 3: have heard these stories along the way where he's throwing

1577
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 3: passes of those high school kids all the time. I'll

1578
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 3: all Brett Farva, how he used to do stuff like that,

1579
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 3: And so it sounds like he's not just like getting

1580
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 3: off off the couch like he You mentioned that that

1581
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 3: he's put on full pads at some point in time.

1582
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 6: He ain't been hit in five years.

1583
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 3: That makes it different. I get you, but I'm just

1584
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 3: still you know, at least he shows up in shape,

1585
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 3: is my point.

1586
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 6: I got to see it.

1587
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 4: Are you highly entertained by the idea of him starting

1588
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 4: or is there any part of the human element in

1589
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 4: you that's scared for that man's life.

1590
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 3: I think everybody's scared for a forty four year old

1591
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 3: guy that hasn't played for almost a time.

1592
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 4: I tell you how you are as a human. If

1593
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 4: you're highly entertained by it, I.

1594
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 6: Would say I'm not scared for him because you have

1595
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 6: a choice.

1596
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 3: Can you bear Kevin? Can you be both? Yeah?

1597
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 6: I feel like you should be scared when you don't

1598
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 6: have options. He has options. I'm not gonna be scared

1599
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 6: for him. You get out there, I want to see

1600
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 6: what happens. Hell, you throw that paycheck at me, I'll

1601
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 6: go out there. I'll take the bits from the Seattle Defense.

1602
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 3: Over under on Mark one of the half plays Mark

1603
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 3: Peak Bay or whatever the hell's gonna be. Pray I might,

1604
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 3: I might leave this earth, but at least that check will.

1605
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 4: Daughters before you get on the plane, Brother.

1606
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 5: Mark, I don't think we'd never played this on the air,

1607
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 5: but I'm going to interview with uh Lobusi the Rapper,

1608
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 5: and they asked him if he will get into the

1609
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 5: ring like Davonte Davis.

1610
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 6: He's like, nah, it beat me. He was like, with

1611
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 6: twenty million photoms, No, don't do that. You wouldn't be

1612
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 6: alive to spend the money.

1613
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 3: Uh. Coming up in a moment, we will talk a

1614
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 3: little bit more about this crazy situation we find ourselves

1615
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 3: in the highs and the lows all at once here

1616
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 3: in Indiana. And also Rick Carlisle, the head coach of

1617
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers, stops by at nine o'clock. That's all

1618
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 3: straight ahead. In ninety three five and one on seven five,

1619
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 3: the fans Mark Dyton put all the Golden Girls on

1620
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 3: the loop over there Colts training facilities. Let's get going there.

1621
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Retirement home for a former football players. Coming back Kevin

1622
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 3: could possibly happen later on today. Apparently we learned that

1623
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers might have worked out for the Colts last night.

1624
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 3: By some reports.

1625
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 4: You're more worried about rivers arm strength or River's ability

1626
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:09,839
Speaker 4: to move.

1627
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 3: Well armstreng I don't know if he's going to threaten

1628
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 3: anybody forty yards down field. I worry more about his

1629
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 3: ability to move I'm.

1630
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 4: Not saying forty yards down the field, I'm saying, and.

1631
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 3: You could throw, you know, you could throw fifteen twenty

1632
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 3: yards downfield.

1633
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 5: His arm strength was a struggle five years ago with

1634
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 5: the velocity that's necessary, right, I mean that man has

1635
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,520
Speaker 5: lived late in his career to Mark's point off of percise,

1636
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 5: percise timing, accuracy and fading arm strength.

1637
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say. And arm strength to

1638
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 4: me is velocity as well. What is that five years later?

1639
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 5: He was always a statue like he was never you know,

1640
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 5: he's never hauling ass downfielder for anybody. So it was

1641
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:51,759
Speaker 5: always his arm strength that was his bread and butter.

1642
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 5: And you know when he was with the Colts the

1643
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 5: last time we were like, oh boy, this is this

1644
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 5: is kind of tailing off relatively quickly. I can imagine

1645
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 5: it's improved with time.

1646
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the two things are the last time found some

1647
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 3: things at a group.

1648
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 5: Maybe he's been in the stretch lab, I don't know.

1649
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 5: May he's getting his rotator cuff stretched down a weekly.

1650
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 3: Basically he's come to the right place. Though, if you

1651
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 3: listen to the fan during all the breaks, we we

1652
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 3: are keeping older men healthy here, amen to that. That's

1653
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 3: what we do. So Philip Rivers I think is Taylor

1654
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 3: made for being around Indianapolis. We'll we'll hook him up, Kevin,

1655
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 3: We'll hook him.

1656
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 6: Up so today, Kevin, to be honest with you, he's old.

1657
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 6: Like that needs to be stated. You have not played.

1658
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 6: This isn't Tom Brady who played until he was forty five. Like, yeah,

1659
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,759
Speaker 6: there's reasons you left. If you could have kept playing,

1660
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 6: why didn't you. So that's that's a factor to certainly consider.

1661
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 6: So I would say the mobility part doesn't really bother me.

1662
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 6: He never really was that type of player. Can you

1663
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 6: sling it still?

1664
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 3: Right?

1665
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 4: I just mean even a step slower, like I mean

1666
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 4: all of a sudden if this dude who couldn't move

1667
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 4: in the pocket to begin with now is dropping in

1668
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 4: the poet because you're not a dropping back well, and

1669
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 4: that's the unknown that you would have like watching him

1670
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 4: in a workout. Okay, I think you can probably get

1671
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 4: a decent gauge. It's still not facing the defense, obviously,

1672
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 4: but you can get somewhat of a gauge on that

1673
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:20,440
Speaker 4: aspect of it. How he operates in a collapsing pocket

1674
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 4: against one of the best defense in the NFL. Keep

1675
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 4: the ambulance close by.

1676
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 3: We'res Charlie Whitehurst touchdown Jesus when we need.

1677
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 4: Him, isn't he with what's her name?

1678
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 3: Jewel?

1679
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 5: He's probably not coming back environment well, she has that

1680
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 5: famous song hole savior soul. That might be Philip Rivers

1681
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,839
Speaker 5: case if he sees Leondon Williams coming down the pipeline.

1682
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 3: Coming up in a few minutes where Carlisle's gonna stop

1683
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 3: by talk about the Pacers having won four of their

1684
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 3: last six. Last night, guys, they got seventy six points

1685
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 3: from the trio of Andrew Nemhart, Benedict Matherin and Pascal Siakam,

1686
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,600
Speaker 3: and that's kind of been one of their recipes for

1687
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 3: success in these last six games. And they've they've I

1688
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 3: was listening for a while to the radio broadcast with

1689
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 3: Mark last night. He was talking about statistically over these

1690
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 3: last six seven games, they've also been rising through the

1691
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: NBA ranks. They were down near the bottom in a

1692
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 3: lot of those categories and they're starting to kind of

1693
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 3: rise back through again. But with those three playing the

1694
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 3: way they've been playing and getting some contributions from some

1695
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 3: of the other bit players, so to speak, they won

1696
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 3: four of six. It hasn't been a murderer's row of

1697
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 3: a schedule, but they're winning.

1698
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I thought Jerriff Walker gave them a little

1699
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 4: jolt there to start the fourth quarter. They were real

1700
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 4: and they were on the ropes after that. Just horrific

1701
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 4: close there to end the third quarter. I mean their

1702
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 4: lead was gone, the lead that had I feel like

1703
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,639
Speaker 4: it had gone to twenty, but it was fading fast,

1704
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 4: and I thought Jaris Walker just a couple buckets there

1705
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 4: and they ended up losing the lead completely. But still

1706
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 4: it was one of these where like you could you

1707
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 4: didn't have to turn to matherin Themhart siakam right away.

1708
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they ended.

1709
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 4: Up going, you know with them about seven eight minutes

1710
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 4: to go in the fourth.

1711
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 3: Court kind of took over for a.

1712
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 4: Nemart hit a volleyball line three, Matheren hit a pull

1713
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 4: up three on the break and them Hart hit one

1714
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 4: more and it was it was a time out there

1715
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 4: for the Kings. And the Ethan Thompson story. Looking forward

1716
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 4: to chatting with Rick about that because I think it's

1717
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 4: a pretty cool NBA story and what he's given him

1718
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,520
Speaker 4: makes his debut last week, and how he's starting.

1719
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 3: And they're gonna have to make some decisions on a

1720
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 3: couple of two way ten day contracts. You can only

1721
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 3: give two at a certain point before you either got

1722
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 3: to keep a guy or send him back into the ether.

1723
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 3: But they've got a few decisions to make as well.

1724
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 4: You'd rather watch Brett Rippan start against Seattle or Philip Rivers.

1725
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 6: Philip from the notoriety.

1726
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 4: Standpoint, trying to win the football game, I'm probably going

1727
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 4: on Brett Rippon.

1728
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 6: I just it's hard for me to picture a guy

1729
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 6: who hasn't been in an NFL a locker room in

1730
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 6: five years.

1731
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 3: I do want to see why.

1732
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 5: Are we you going to see Tyler Warren and the

1733
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 5: Wildcat for four quarter I might not be better. I

1734
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 5: do want to see if the Colts worked out any

1735
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 5: other quarterbacks that we're unaware of, Like was it just

1736
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,799
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers or where there's this kind.

1737
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 3: Of like come on down, you've got to work out

1738
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 3: with the Yeah.

1739
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 6: Shane Steck and Rappaport right now, Philip Rivers who worked

1740
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 6: out already, good starbus. Another set of eyes and ears

1741
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 6: for Riley Leonard as he did in the pre ject process.

1742
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 6: Do not come here if you ain't gonna play. I'm

1743
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 6: not I'm not gonna come here be the backup.

1744
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 3: No, no, he's not coming here to be the backup.

1745
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 4: Shane Steikeen looks up from the all right, Rivers, that's

1746
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 4: a good throw and a mean Riley Leonard playing through

1747
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 4: a knee injury is less than ideal. Riley Leonard needs

1748
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 4: his legs, and.

1749
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 3: Aren't you just are you maybe also just looking for

1750
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 3: somebody to play for one or two weeks so you

1751
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 3: get Riley Leonard back.

1752
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe they're doing like a I'm Philip Rivers not

1753
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 5: restarting my Hall of Fame clock to come here and

1754
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 5: be the backup for one to two weeks. Maybe they're

1755
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 5: doing a Frankenstein where they're going to keep Philip Rivers'

1756
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 5: upper body and they're gonna take Riley Leonard's legs, and

1757
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, Philip Rivers is mobile as

1758
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 5: hell and he's slinging it down the field.

1759
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 4: Alec Pierce looks like Michael Vick out there.

1760
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 3: All right, coming up at a moment. Rick Carlyle the

1761
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers again. They win last night, one sixteen, one

1762
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 3: o five. We were talking about that a minute ago.

1763
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 3: The Pacers playback presented by CNJ Water, the official water

1764
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 3: treatment partner of the Indiana Pacers Cnjwater dot Com. And

1765
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 3: they'll be helping us out all year long as we

1766
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 3: cover the Pacers. And that means a little chat with

1767
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 3: the Rick Carlisle coming up next ninety three to five

1768
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 3: and one oh seven.

1769
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 4: Rick Carlisle gonna join us here in a few Good

1770
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 4: Tuesday morning to you. At nine o'clock hour, The Philip

1771
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 4: Rivers watch continues for the Colts. James, you said the

1772
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 4: workout actually was last night.

1773
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can confirm that, So they did work him

1774
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 6: out last night, not later today. So I wonder if

1775
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 6: that exerbies the timeline at all with a decision coming

1776
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 6: perhaps at any moment.

1777
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, And we just update everybody on where the Colts

1778
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,919
Speaker 4: quarterback situation is. Four quarterbacks in the roster, torn Achilles

1779
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 4: for Daniel Jones Anthony Richardson's eye injury, I do not

1780
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 4: expect to return eminently by any means, if at all,

1781
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 4: the rest of the season. Riley Leonard sounds like a

1782
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 4: banged up with a knee injury. His status up in

1783
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 4: the air for Sunday, so Brett Rippin the only healthy quarterbacks.

1784
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 4: Will continue to keep you updated on that storyline. They

1785
01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: won four of their last six. They beat the Kings

1786
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 4: last night and the inside of Gamebridge Field House. The

1787
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 4: Indiana Pacers now headed into a stretch with a lot

1788
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 4: of practice time. I would think here with just two

1789
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 4: games in the next nine days or so, and to

1790
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 4: talk more about it. Rick Carlile joins us now coach,

1791
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 4: good morning to you.

1792
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: How you doing good?

1793
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 4: Fine, big fourth quarter from your top three last night?

1794
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 4: Some shot making certainly as the lead evaporated, and I

1795
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 4: thought some big time hustle plays from the great story

1796
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 4: that is Ethan Thompson. What did you see change there

1797
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 4: once Sacramento took the lead there.

1798
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 9: Late, Well, we we button things down defensively. That was

1799
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 9: a big thing. I mean, you know, a seventeen point

1800
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 9: defense to the quarter in the fourth was absolutely needed.

1801
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 9: And right now, you know, our identity has got to

1802
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 9: be that we're a defense first team. There's evidence that

1803
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 9: were very capable of it. You know, last eight games,

1804
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 9: I think we're ranked fourth and defense in the league.

1805
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 9: I mean that's a real positive thing.

1806
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: You know.

1807
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 9: Offensively, you know, things things come and go with shot

1808
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 9: making and this, that and the other. But uh, you know,

1809
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 9: the defense in the fourth was key and then you know,

1810
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 9: Nemhart had a monster game. Uh Siakam played extremely well,

1811
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 9: as you know, virtually it seems like he always does.

1812
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 9: And then Matt turn was was terrific and so.

1813
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Good Win. Uh got a more or less an off

1814
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: day today, two days of practice and then hit the

1815
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Philly rick.

1816
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 6: When you look at Andrew Nimharne's career, and I'm thinking

1817
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 6: back to his rookie season, I believe he had a

1818
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 6: game winner against the Lakers that the buzzer. So he's

1819
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 6: made big shots before, but how have you seen him

1820
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 6: just continue to grow in those fourth quarters, the big

1821
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 6: moments and embrace the challenges that kind of a way

1822
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 6: when things get tight.

1823
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, fearless player, you know it really is. And had

1824
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: a you know.

1825
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 9: Had an attitude of just kind of this moxie when

1826
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 9: he came in here as a as a first year player.

1827
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 9: You know, he was he was good in training camp.

1828
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 9: You know, he's one of our better defensive players. Was

1829
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 9: not spectacular offensively, but.

1830
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: We knew that. You know, he had the lineage. You know,

1831
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,480
Speaker 1: he had a career at Gonzaga.

1832
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 9: I think they went to the final game or the

1833
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 9: final four, whatever it was his senior year and I

1834
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 9: didn't even play in game one that year. Game two

1835
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 9: I think we played maybe in Detroit that we played

1836
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 9: or something. But he we needed him to guard I

1837
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 9: think Kate Cunningham and his rookie year and he and

1838
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 9: he came in there and and was terrific and really solid,

1839
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 9: and then it became clear that the thing to do

1840
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 9: maybe to put him as a secondary ball handler and

1841
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 9: a hybrid two guard and a guy that could take

1842
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 9: a matchup to start games. And so you know, we

1843
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 9: kind of ended up going that direction in in relatively

1844
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 9: short order, and that's how it's gone. Now this year,

1845
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 9: the role is is extremely different, you know, being the

1846
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 9: main guy with the ball, the main guy taking a matchup.

1847
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 9: And so one of the challenges has been, you know,

1848
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 9: who can we put next to him? They can give

1849
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 9: us a little ball handling, who is also a solid defender? Uh,

1850
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 9: you know, who can who can make an open shot?

1851
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 9: You know when when when he's feeling the heat and

1852
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 9: getting a lot of extra attention and so, uh, you know,

1853
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 9: the irony is Shepherd played one of his best games

1854
01:27:56,439 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 9: against Denver and then then he got banged up, and

1855
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 9: so you know, we're in Chicago and you know, we

1856
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 9: had had Ethan Thompson on the on the roster for

1857
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 9: a couple of days, and I just felt, you know,

1858
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 9: it's time to give this guy an early look.

1859
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: And uh, he's a twenty five or twenty six year

1860
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: old guy, so you know, it's not like he's your

1861
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: typical first year player. He's been playing professional basketball for

1862
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 1: five or six years. He just he just has a

1863
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: a moxie and a and a tone about him, you know,

1864
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: where he's just unafraid, looks like he belongs. And uh,

1865
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, he stepped right out in the end of

1866
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: the game against Chicago and Frank it was hard to

1867
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,600
Speaker 1: get him out of the game, you know. So he

1868
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 1: did well there last night.

1869
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 9: You know, I thought he was was solid again and so, uh,

1870
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 9: you know that's as you mentioned, that's that's a that's

1871
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 9: a really nice story. And as we move forward, you know,

1872
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 9: we're gonna keep trying to get guys a little healthier

1873
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 9: each day and uh and keeping it keep working on

1874
01:28:58,040 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 9: who we are.

1875
01:28:59,080 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Rick.

1876
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 4: For those of mine, miss, could you share on specifically

1877
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 4: that Friday game with Chicago. I don't know if maybe

1878
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 4: you found out Shepherd's status for the game, but you know,

1879
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 4: Ethan Thompson was originally I think drilling was some of

1880
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 4: your developmental guys over at the United Center. And then

1881
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 4: you realize what it was going to look like for

1882
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 4: you that night, and that he was going to play

1883
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 4: important minutes for you, and you had to make a

1884
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 4: call over there to say, hey, we got to get

1885
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 4: Ethan Thompson off the floor. He's going to play some

1886
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 4: pivotal minutes for the big league tonight. How how unique

1887
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 4: is that? And I guess what does that say about?

1888
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 4: You know, this kid who just made his NBA debut

1889
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 4: a few nights earlier.

1890
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 9: It's it's it's it's certainly not a typical year in

1891
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 9: a lot of ways. And knew we knew Shepherd wasn't

1892
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 9: going to play. He wasn't on the trip. You know,

1893
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 9: the question was, you know, the plan was to start Matthews,

1894
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 9: who had been playing well, and then you know, kind

1895
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 9: of go from there. And it seemed to me like

1896
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 9: the best thing to do would be to start Matthews

1897
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 9: and then you know, we'll toss we'll toss Ethan in there.

1898
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 9: But you know what happened was we had some of

1899
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 9: our interns come up to Chicago. You know, we're working

1900
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 9: on getting Quintin Jackson back. One of the things he

1901
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 9: needs to do is is play. And so after shoot

1902
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:18,440
Speaker 9: around on Friday, a group of low minute guys and interns,

1903
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 9: we're gonna play. And you know, that's Jalen Peter, That's

1904
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 9: that's Quinton Jackson. I think Ethan assumed he was part

1905
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 9: of the part of that group too, which you know,

1906
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 9: which is good, you know, and look, if he had played,

1907
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 9: it probably wouldn't have you know, may not have made

1908
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 9: that big a difference. But as we're on the bus

1909
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 9: headed back to the hotel after shoot around, you know,

1910
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 9: I called over there to see if he was playing,

1911
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 9: because my plan was, you know, not going to be

1912
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 9: to start him, but to get him in the game

1913
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 9: pretty early. And somebody said, yeah, they know, they just

1914
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 9: started playing. I said, well, look pull him out because

1915
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 9: he's probably gonna play. He's gonna play minutes and I

1916
01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 9: don't know how many.

1917
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: And so they pulled him out, you know. So that

1918
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 1: was that was kind of it. But that's that's.

1919
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:07,360
Speaker 9: How this year's kind of been. There's been some unique

1920
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:12,600
Speaker 9: aspects to it. Challenges slash opportunities, and so, you know,

1921
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 9: one of the one of the challenges is the injuries,

1922
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 9: and then a great example of opportunity is is Ethan

1923
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 9: Thompson being the right place at the right time.

1924
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 4: Basis one four of six. Again, as Rick Carlisle laid out,

1925
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 4: there a little bit of time off. They'll have Philly

1926
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,559
Speaker 4: in Washington coming up on a Friday and Sunday, but

1927
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:29,639
Speaker 4: not a ton of game action here over the next

1928
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 4: ten days or so. Coach, your next win will be

1929
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 4: one thousand for your career. I think you'd become I

1930
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 4: believe it's the eleventh coach in NBA history to reach

1931
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 4: the Comma mark, if you will. Does that matter to

1932
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 4: you at all? Does that mean anything to you?

1933
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 3: That number?

1934
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

1935
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 9: I you know, I it always feels like it's the

1936
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 9: best not to talk about things like this and just

1937
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 9: and just try to keep you know, but it just

1938
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 9: it just means I've I've been very blessed over the

1939
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 9: years with a lot of great situations, great ownership, terrific players,

1940
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 9: a very supportive family, all that. But I, you know,

1941
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 9: I don't want to put the horse before the card.

1942
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 9: I mean, this year is a very good example of

1943
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 9: how you know, winning one NBA game is extremely difficult.

1944
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 9: You know, and when you when and when you get

1945
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 9: extraordinary circumstances as we've had this year, you know, putting

1946
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,680
Speaker 9: the chicken before the egg, or the egg before the

1947
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:42,720
Speaker 9: chicken or whatever it is, just doesn't just doesn't feel right.

1948
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 6: Rick, to look at other guys in your ross. You've

1949
01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:49,639
Speaker 6: stepped up Garrison Matthews. I mean, the guy is an

1950
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 6: all out shooter. How have you seen m perhaps find

1951
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 6: his rhythm as of let on it early on, you know,

1952
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 6: once in the ball as well. But it seems like

1953
01:32:56,520 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 6: he's gotten comfortable just being integrated into this off fans

1954
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 6: with obviously new teammates.

1955
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he's he's a guy that's a gunslinger.

1956
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna play his game.

1957
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 9: He knows who he is, he knows what's get, what

1958
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 9: gets him on an NBA roster, and what gets him

1959
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:13,439
Speaker 9: on the floor.

1960
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: The challenge was that you know.

1961
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,719
Speaker 9: He he had he'd been I believe the last cut

1962
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,680
Speaker 9: on New York it was down to him and Landry Shammitt,

1963
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 9: And the.

1964
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 1: Word we got was that, you know, he had shot

1965
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 1: the ball as well or maybe even a little bit

1966
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: better than Shammitt. But there was just you know, the

1967
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 1: tie breaker was just you know, the ultimate fit with

1968
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 1: the team and all that kind of stuff. I don't

1969
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:40,759
Speaker 1: really know, that doesn't really matter. But he was sitting out,

1970
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, for probably the better part of the month,

1971
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,759
Speaker 1: and you know, we went through four or five different

1972
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 1: guys before we got to him, and in fact, in fact,

1973
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, we had the one workout in Dallas where

1974
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: we worked out three guys.

1975
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:59,240
Speaker 9: Eventually all three guys ended up on the roster. None

1976
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 9: of the three are on around the club anymore, and

1977
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 9: so we were cycling onto another group of two or

1978
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 9: three guys, and we thought we had a group of

1979
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 9: three that we're going to come in for a workout,

1980
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:17,320
Speaker 9: but one of them was handed overseas another one had

1981
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,720
Speaker 9: some personal things going on, and the timing wasn't right,

1982
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:23,440
Speaker 9: and so you know, Garrison was the only guy available.

1983
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: So we brought him in and.

1984
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 9: We needed shooting, we needed spacing, and the task was

1985
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 9: to help him get shape, you know, and so Woyd

1986
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 9: Pierce did a really great job, just you know, starting

1987
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 9: kind of from scratch. You know, you can be at

1988
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 9: home and you can be working out on your own

1989
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 9: and and that kind of stuff, but you know, it's

1990
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:48,679
Speaker 9: it's it's virtually impossible to simulate NBA practices in NBA games,

1991
01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 9: and so it took, you know, it took a good

1992
01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 9: four or five days to get him to where you know,

1993
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 9: he felt like his legs were there, et cetera, et cetera.

1994
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 9: His first game was at Cleveland whenever that I was

1995
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 9: two and a half weeks ago. You know, he went

1996
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 9: in the game, he got some clean shots off, nothing

1997
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 9: went in, but the signs were good, and it kind

1998
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 9: of went from there.

1999
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 1: And so when he got to the end of his

2000
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: first ten day and this we're talking about a ten

2001
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:20,640
Speaker 1: day team injury hardship contract, I mean, it's like a

2002
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: whole sentence, like you got to say a whole sentence

2003
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: to describe what it is. You know, you know, he

2004
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: hadn't made he hadn't made a lot of shots yet,

2005
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: but it just felt to us like, you know, he

2006
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 1: had done the work and he was close, and so, uh,

2007
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, we brought him back. In the first game,

2008
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: he uh, he got it going. And then you know,

2009
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 1: last night.

2010
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 9: He hit some big shots, had a four point play,

2011
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 9: et cetera. And with him, you know, he's a guy

2012
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,760
Speaker 9: you got to count for on a scouting report. I

2013
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 9: mean you don't, you don't account for him. I mean,

2014
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 9: I think in one or two years, in the last

2015
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 9: four or five he's led the league in four point plays, et.

2016
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 1: Cetera, et cetera. So an easy guy to like, you know,

2017
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 1: he's just he's gritty, he's he's kind of you know

2018
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: who we are, you know right now as a team,

2019
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,599
Speaker 1: and so we're happy to have him on board.

2020
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 6: So you talked about bringing in guys for workouts, and

2021
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 6: the Colts are or have actually brought in Philip Rivers,

2022
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 6: forty four year old quarterback in for a workout. So

2023
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 6: in your coaching or playing career, do you remember the

2024
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 6: oldest player you played with or coached?

2025
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 7: Oh?

2026
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 1: Boy, trying to think, well, you know, Dirk was the

2027
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 1: oldest I think that I coached that he was. He

2028
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 1: was forty, you know, in his twenty first year. Look,

2029
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd was thirty eight when we won the championship

2030
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:48,600
Speaker 1: with him, and and there have been others, you know,

2031
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 1: and uh, you know James Johnson I think was thirty

2032
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 1: seven last year. Yeah, there there's been there's been guys

2033
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 1: like that. But but I will say this, do not

2034
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 1: underestimate change. I mean, I think it's pretty clear that

2035
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 1: he's the best coach of quarterbacks you know, really anybody's

2036
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 1: seen in the last several years. I mean, what he's

2037
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 1: done with a whole long list of guys, and so

2038
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 1: to me, the guys that the guys that master, I

2039
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:20,559
Speaker 1: think he's done an incredible, amazing job this year. There's

2040
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 1: a long way to go in their season, you know,

2041
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 1: I know, things things can things can look uh can

2042
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: look dreary at times, but uh, there's an upbeat, upbeat

2043
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:33,640
Speaker 1: fan base, you know, super upbeat franchise, as is the

2044
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 1: Pacers and uh and we're really told for them.

2045
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,599
Speaker 4: That's Rick Carlisle again. Bass have one four of six.

2046
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 4: They beat Sacramento last night. They've got Philly coming up

2047
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 4: this weekend. He's with us here on the Payloffs Slickers Hotline.

2048
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 4: Did I hear you were at the Purdue game on Saturday?

2049
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, I was. Uh.

Speaker 9: And he he invited me to a game a long

2055
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 9: time ago, and so yeah, I went up there and

2056
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 9: had amazing seats one in an atmosphere had the I

2057
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 9: had the privilege of sitting with Sunny on my right

2058
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 9: and Brian Cardinal on my left. Okay, so there's two

2059
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 9: living legends.

2060
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: Now. Cardinal not only not only is he a for

2061
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 1: Due legend, but Cardinal played for US on the twenty

2062
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 1: eleven championship team in Dallas. And I'm gonna tell you

2063
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,720
Speaker 1: a short story about Cardinals. So in game six out

2064
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: we had we had played the series in the finals.

2065
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: In the fourth game, we had to make some adjustments

2066
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:51,599
Speaker 1: to our rotation because of matchups, and so we started

2067
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:56,440
Speaker 1: playing Brian Cardinal over another more you know, more established

2068
01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:57,759
Speaker 1: household name type player.

2069
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 9: Well was playing effectively. You know, his game is not

2070
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 9: the most beautiful game in the world, but when you

2071
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 9: look at his production and what happens as a winning player,

2072
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,679
Speaker 9: the guy's pretty amazing what he did in his career.

2073
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:17,000
Speaker 9: So we won game We won game four to tie

2074
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 9: the series. We won Game five. In game six at Miami,

2075
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 9: we're up three to two with a chance to close

2076
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 9: out the series, which Key gets his second foul like

2077
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 9: five minutes into the game, and so boom, here comes

2078
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 9: Cardinal now the score is we're either down five or

2079
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:38,599
Speaker 9: down seven.

2080
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: I forget which. Dirk had had a rough shot making

2081
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 1: night to start the game, Vegas two fouls. Cardinal comes

2082
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 1: in the game. We go from let's say it was

2083
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 1: down five at the end of the first quarter, we

2084
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 1: were up seven. Okay, we go plus twelve with Cardinal

2085
01:39:57,600 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 1: in the game. Dirk comes back in the game. Dirk

2086
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: is continuing it's continuing to have trouble making shots. So

2087
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 1: we go. We get into halftime and Cardinal of Dirt

2088
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 1: were really good friends. And in Cardinal's seat was right

2089
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,680
Speaker 1: next to Dirk's in the locker room. And as we

2090
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:19,559
Speaker 1: walk in at the Koch staff, Cardinal was in there,

2091
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 1: and the locker room is pretty quiet, but we still

2092
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 1: had a two point lead, and Cardinals saying, this is great, man,

2093
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: and he was calling Dirty Dirty Dirty Dirk was Dirt,

2094
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: Dirk's uh nickname.

2095
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,640
Speaker 9: He goes dirty, this is great. You got all the

2096
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 9: misses out, bro, You's got to keep shooting.

2097
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:38,960
Speaker 1: This is going to be great. This is gonna be awesome, man.

2098
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:43,639
Speaker 1: And so and so we we come in and we

2099
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: we end up setting up a play to try to

2100
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 1: get Dirk an open shot with JJ Ray has set

2101
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 1: a pin down for him. He comes off, hits the

2102
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 1: shot in the second half. He may have missed one shot,

2103
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 1: but he was great. But the Cardinals, Cardinals impact on

2104
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 1: that championship is is always going to be overlooked. But

2105
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: he's he's one of the most resourceful players I've ever

2106
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 1: been around. And when you walk around the Mackie Mackie

2107
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: Center with him, you know, the guy, it's like it's

2108
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: like walking around with Tom Brady, you know, I mean,

2109
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,679
Speaker 1: he's just uh everybody, everybody knows and loves him, and

2110
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: uh and and and I certainly know why.

2111
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:30,599
Speaker 4: That some great, great stuff, absolute Purdue legend. Brian Cardinal. Well,

2112
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:32,839
Speaker 4: we'll end with this coach, and as always, we appreciate

2113
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 4: the time. I did have a chuckle a couple of

2114
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:39,800
Speaker 4: games ago. You said afterwards in regards to timeouts that

2115
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 4: it would be great if you could buy timeouts like

2116
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:46,759
Speaker 4: vows and Wheel of Fortune? Are you more Wheel of Fortune?

2117
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:47,639
Speaker 4: Are you more Jeopardy?

2118
01:41:49,960 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Gosh, I like both. But yeah, I mean, look

2119
01:41:55,240 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 1: those timeouts, you're not out of timeouts. They just have

2120
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: a price, and so you gotta you just got to

2121
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 1: decide if it's worth it to take to take one

2122
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 1: and spend a you know, a technical free throw at work,

2123
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 1: give the team the possession back, as I described after

2124
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: the game. And I don't mean to make fun of

2125
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 1: it or make light of it or anything like that.

2126
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 1: But if the other team already has the ball and

2127
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 1: you feel like your guys need you know, a minute,

2128
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, you know, for whatever reason. Maybe it's maybe you.

2129
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 9: Just don't have a lot of guys left on your

2130
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:33,880
Speaker 9: roster that night, and they you just feel like they

2131
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 9: need a little bit of a break to finish the game. Whatever,

2132
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 9: you know, if it's already the other team's ball, it's

2133
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:41,840
Speaker 9: it's one technical free throw.

2134
01:42:41,920 --> 01:42:43,840
Speaker 1: It's not It's not the end of the world, you know.

2135
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 1: But I don't like doing it. I only do it

2136
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 1: when it's when I feel it's necessary. We didn't do

2137
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 1: it at all last year or the year before. I

2138
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: don't think things have been extraordinary circumstances this year. So

2139
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes it happens like that.

2140
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 4: Picture an rs E l N E and you up

2141
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 4: there getting some letters there and the end of Wheel

2142
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 4: of Fortune. I'm always debating what I would go with

2143
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 4: their c D.

2144
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 3: Would you go with val, would you would gotta go Val.

2145
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 6: I feel like you gotta go Val, gotta go Val.

2146
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 4: With this RS.

2147
01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:16,919
Speaker 9: Well, some of the you know there's like on Instagram,

2148
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 9: there's there's some of these things where people are making

2149
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 9: the wrong guesses at what the butt and what the

2150
01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 9: puzzle says, and some of the stuff is you know,

2151
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 9: it transcends, you know, the question of which value buy.

2152
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Let's just put that way.

2153
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,600
Speaker 4: I need documentary on this, say, the Least Pacers night

2154
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 4: off tonight, so I guess you could watch Little Wheel

2155
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 4: Fortune a little Jeopardy. They'll be back Friday six ers

2156
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,520
Speaker 4: and Sunday afternoon. They've got the wizards inside of gamebridge

2157
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 4: Field House coach. Thank you as always, we'll talk to

2158
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 4: you next week.

2159
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:46,480
Speaker 1: All right, guys, pickure.

2160
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:50,759
Speaker 4: Rick Carlisle right there, Payless Slickers, Hotline, Little Brian Cardinal,

2161
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,679
Speaker 4: Little Ethan Thompson, Old Dirk Novitsky, Little Wheel of Fortune,

2162
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 4: a little bit of everything. PACER's playing better ball here recently.

2163
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 4: That is now four of Mark Dyton's check it out.

2164
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 3: We will start with the Indianapolis Colts, who apparently James

2165
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 3: Boyd last night brought in forty four year old Philip

2166
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 3: Rivers to have a look see at quarterback to see

2167
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 3: if maybe he can help them out of a jam.

2168
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 3: Right now, what can we expect next.

2169
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 6: Either they sign him where they don't, So I would

2170
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 6: expect that news to pop off at any moments today

2171
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 6: because certainly it is Newsworthy.

2172
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 3: A lot of injury problems. Riley Leonard, the backup who's

2173
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 3: replaced the out for the year, Daniel Jones. He's got

2174
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:36,040
Speaker 3: a knee ligament problem and he is listed as week

2175
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 3: to week. Brett Rippon is the other quarterback that the

2176
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 3: Colts might turn to at some point in time, But

2177
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 3: that's not even the beginning of the injury list. There's

2178
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 3: a lot of major stuff going on right now.

2179
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 4: Kevin Bowen, yes, obviously the three at quarterback like you've mentioned,

2180
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 4: Jeff the Towny Kielles for Daniel Jones, the knee injury

2181
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 4: for Riley Leonard, which could impact Sunday. Anthony Richardson's return

2182
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,719
Speaker 4: is not happening anytime soon with the eye injury above

2183
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 4: Break Smith neck concussion for him, this would be his

2184
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:06,600
Speaker 4: first game missed of the season. If he cannot go

2185
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:10,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday, likely rookie right tackle Jalen Travis into the

2186
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 4: starting lineup, and then probably The most jarring news yesterday

2187
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:19,479
Speaker 4: was for the third time in three months, concussion protocol

2188
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 4: for Tavarius Ward. You just, obviously it's awful to hear

2189
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:27,800
Speaker 4: that news. I don't know if I can recall ever

2190
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 4: seeing a cult player being concussion protocol three times in

2191
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:34,320
Speaker 4: three months. So, you know, he has been very upfront

2192
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 4: about how difficult the symptoms were in the previous concussion dizzyness, vomiting,

2193
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 4: really said he didn't feel like himself for a full

2194
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,280
Speaker 4: month after that in debate of playing football ever again.

2195
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 4: And now here we are three games later and he's

2196
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 4: in concussion protocol. So I hate to even bring up

2197
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 4: the questions, but they are there. Will he play again

2198
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,679
Speaker 4: the season and potentially will he play again?

2199
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 3: Do we get any come of an update later on

2200
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,200
Speaker 3: this week on DeForest Buckner, Sauce Gardner, how they're doing.

2201
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so to Forest Buckner is eligible to come off

2202
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 4: of r maybe Sunday. I don't know. Part of me thinks,

2203
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:12,920
Speaker 4: you know, you get an extra day next week with

2204
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 4: a Monday night game. Maybe it's another week with that

2205
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 4: neck injury. As sauce Gardner, I always felt like it

2206
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 4: would be multiple games, but nothing official on that all.

2207
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 3: Right coltson Seahawks for twenty five Sunday afternoon. You'll hear

2208
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 3: it right here at ninety three five one oh seven

2209
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 3: five the Fan. We'll wait and see who the quarterback

2210
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,839
Speaker 3: might be. College football, the Heisman invites have been announced.

2211
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza from Indiana University is one of the four

2212
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 3: that'll be invited up to New York City.

2213
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: There.

2214
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 3: Julian Sane from Ohio State, Diego Pavia from Vanderbilt, and

2215
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:45,799
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame will also be there. College

2216
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 3: basketball tonight, down it in Bloomington, Indiana, we'll take on

2217
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 3: Penn State. Kevin. You mentioned earlier that Penn State is

2218
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 3: not thought to be a very good basketball team.

2219
01:46:55,320 --> 01:46:55,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2220
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean they're eight and one, so record wise you

2221
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 4: would say, wait what, But they have played absolute nobody,

2222
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:03,920
Speaker 4: and the odds makers have this as a fifteen and

2223
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 4: a half point favorite for Indiana. I was pretty disappointed

2224
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:10,680
Speaker 4: about how they responded to that Minnesota loss. I mean,

2225
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 4: they got down sixteen to nothing to Little Rowle on Saturday.

2226
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 4: You obviously fought back, but still lost that game. I

2227
01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 4: would say, you know, it was pretty clear who the

2228
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 4: better team was, so you gotta take care of business.

2229
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 4: This is not a win that would help your resume

2230
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 4: per se. Now getting you're at Kentucky Saturday, who is

2231
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 4: also at a really rough start to the season, but

2232
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 4: a true road game would definitely help from a resume standpoint. So, yeah,

2233
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 4: take care of business. Penn State team their best players

2234
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:40,640
Speaker 4: of freshman, very young team and a lot of a

2235
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 4: lot of turnover all.

2236
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 3: Right, later on we will later on this week, It'll

2237
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 3: be Friday, Indiana Pacers will play again in Philadelphia, coming

2238
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 3: off that victory last night against Sacramento won sixteen to

2239
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 3: one oh five was the final score there. You heard

2240
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 3: from Rick Carlisle with the guys just a moment ago.

2241
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 3: Andrew Nemhard had twenty eight points twelve assists. There was

2242
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:02,679
Speaker 3: a point during the fourth quarter there when the game

2243
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 3: was on the line, they were down one on one

2244
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 3: ninety seven. He was just nails for about two minutes there,

2245
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 3: got them back in the lead. Mathern also hit a

2246
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 3: three during that point in time, and then they just

2247
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 3: put it away down the stretch.

2248
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, some big, big shots from them Hard and then

2249
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,839
Speaker 4: yeah Mathering those three straight threes got you back in front.

2250
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:22,960
Speaker 4: And then you know, Siakam did his thing, and you know,

2251
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 4: as we talked about with rick Ethan Thompson, just making

2252
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 4: some plays, keeping a few extra possessions alive, you know,

2253
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 4: right now, that's kind of how the Spacers team needs

2254
01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 4: to be wired. They've got those big three scoring some others.

2255
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 4: And I thought Jars Walker had a nice start at

2256
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter as well, and you're obviously looking for

2257
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 4: more from him.

2258
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 3: Yep, gotta love that. Also Monday Night football last night,

2259
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 3: Chargers beat the Eagles twenty two nineteen and coming back

2260
01:48:45,439 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 3: full circle to where we started here, that's not good

2261
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,600
Speaker 3: news for the Indianapolis Colts, is it.

2262
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 4: No? So right now the Colts are the eighth team,

2263
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:55,519
Speaker 4: so that would be outside of the seven team field.

2264
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:58,599
Speaker 4: Now they have the head to head over the Chargers.

2265
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,879
Speaker 4: And if you look at the Chargers final four games

2266
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 4: at Chiefs at Cowboys, Texans at Broncos, Broncos could be

2267
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:10,599
Speaker 4: playing for the one seed the final week of the season.

2268
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,520
Speaker 3: So I mean that's a.

2269
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:16,680
Speaker 4: Notable schedule there down the stretch. Now, the problem is

2270
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:19,799
Speaker 4: more the Colts need to be better than the Chargers

2271
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 4: by a game here over the final four weeks. Like basically,

2272
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 4: I have no quarterback correct Like, basically, I would sum

2273
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 4: it up as I think the Colts will get enough help,

2274
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 4: but they also have to walk through the door. And

2275
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 4: right now, walking through the doors the hard part given

2276
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 4: you don't know who the hell is your quarterback on Sunday.

2277
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 4: It might be a grandpa, it might be a dude

2278
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 4: making his first career start with a bum knee.

2279
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:43,839
Speaker 3: Wait and see who gets off the bus in Seattle

2280
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:44,679
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

2281
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, there's a lot of guys not even taking that

2282
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 4: plane out there.

2283
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 3: Mark Lewis, do it like pro wrestling.

2284
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:52,320
Speaker 5: Have a guy dressed all in black and then he

2285
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 5: reveals himself as the game's about to kick.

2286
01:49:54,560 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, Ryan's that might be your

2287
01:49:59,080 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 3: best idea ever.

2288
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 1: Uh.

2289
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 3: Mark, He had the day off yesterday. Recap in the NFL,

2290
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 3: we had the Bears do with the Green Bay Packers,

2291
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 3: your favorite team. They lost, But that's okay. I thought

2292
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 3: it was all from the top rope. I mean, he

2293
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 3: can stick it. No teams.

2294
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 5: They're not the seventy two Dolphins going undefeated. They put

2295
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 5: up a hell of a second half. It was a

2296
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 5: disappointing ending, but they also play him again in two

2297
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 5: weeks and I have every confidence that Ben Johnson will

2298
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:22,920
Speaker 5: get it done.

2299
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 3: All right, anything else you want to throw in? James,

2300
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 3: My guess with that comment, by the way, about that

2301
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 3: you would never come in off the top rope, would

2302
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 3: you never?

2303
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2304
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 6: How you had to do a respond with eighty mental

2305
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 6: stat line? One catch?

2306
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 7: Well?

2307
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 6: How many time?

2308
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 3: About this season? How about this?

2309
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:42,960
Speaker 1: I can't say I appreciate the question, but I acknowledge

2310
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:43,719
Speaker 1: the question.

2311
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:47,000
Speaker 3: What Rick said, Kevin ask him about a thousandth win?

2312
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get to some of your feedback on

2313
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 3: the quarterback situation for the Indianapolis Cults coming up at

01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,480
Speaker 3: of those. You can even call if you'd like. Again,

2320
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 3: We talked about earlier. You got two plays in you?

2321
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 3: What do you got? Sure?

2324
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,599
Speaker 5: are both younger than Philip Rivers.

2325
01:51:18,840 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 3: So are you Kevin? Yeah?

2326
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 4: So is Shane Steichen for four years younger than him?

2327
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 6: About say I better be younger than him? Good lord?

2328
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:28,640
Speaker 6: Forty four. It was funny because I was gonna tell

2329
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 6: you guys this. I went and played basketball, like I

2330
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:33,759
Speaker 6: hope Friday and yeah, they have my birthday. I turned thirty.

2331
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 6: So I get to the gym and the lady scans

2332
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,519
Speaker 6: my car at the Jim Mersey YMCA, and I thought

2333
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 6: because I hadn't been in a while, that's why she

2334
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 6: stopped me. And she was like, no, I need you

2335
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:44,040
Speaker 6: to like come back and you got to get your

2336
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 6: account corrected or something. I was like, or no, she's

2337
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:49,639
Speaker 6: an updated and I was like, okay, what's there an update?

2338
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 6: She was like, well, we have to give you an

2339
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 6: adult account. And I was like, I thought I already

2340
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:55,560
Speaker 6: was an adult and she said, no, you were a

2341
01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 6: young adult. I was like, oh dang, So that was

2342
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 6: funny to hear. I was like, I got called old.

2343
01:52:00,240 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 6: They had thirty month holds on your car. Yeah, and

2344
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 6: then they raised the price. So I was like, what

2345
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 6: the heck is like, I want to be young? Yeah,

2346
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 6: So I was thinking I can hope with jamb for free.

2347
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 6: I'll might not be seeing me no mo. So that

2348
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 6: was funny.

2349
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,719
Speaker 3: You can get the Senior Citizens discount soon, right, Yeah?

2350
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 6: Hopefully I got a couple great hairs coming in. You know,

2351
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:19,160
Speaker 6: really you're legit.

2352
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 3: Oh wow. It's the Fan Morning Show with Kevin Bowen,

2353
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 3: James Boyd, Mark Dyton, and we were discussing the quarterback

2354
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:30,040
Speaker 3: possibilities for the Indianapolis Colts. As are the Indianapolis Colts.

2355
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 3: What do you suppose those those conversations sound like behind

2356
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 3: those walls, Kevin?

2357
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 4: I would assume Shane Stake and Philip Rivers went over

2358
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 4: a million reminiscing plays over their days with the Chargers

2359
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:41,360
Speaker 4: last night at dinner.

2360
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 3: That would be my guess.

2361
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:46,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I guess what's left to figure out?

2362
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 4: You know, he've portally worked out last night, and I

2363
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 4: why would he? I find it odd he would come

2364
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 4: back just to like do the mentor thing.

2365
01:52:58,120 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2366
01:52:58,320 --> 01:52:59,080
Speaker 3: I don't buy that at all.

2367
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna pay you to be a mental Are

2368
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:02,720
Speaker 6: either coming here to play or you can stay.

2369
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 4: It's twenty twenty five work from home, brother, just hop

2370
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:06,400
Speaker 4: on the zoom.

2371
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:09,599
Speaker 3: What do you think is a good paycheck per game, you and.

2372
01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 4: Riley Leonard just zoom it up for a couple hours.

2373
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 4: I asked this, in all seriousness, what percentage of Riley

2374
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:19,320
Speaker 4: Leonard would make the Colts say no, no, no, you

2375
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:20,959
Speaker 4: can't play. Philip Rivers is gonna.

2376
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 3: Play if he can move.

2377
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 4: So you think, as long as Riley Leonard can walk

2378
01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:26,759
Speaker 4: off the team bus, he's playing.

2379
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 3: I think if he can move within the context of

2380
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,919
Speaker 3: being able to function an NFL game.

2381
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 4: Because Riley Leonard has got to really move to be

2382
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 4: a good quarterback. That's what he depends on, right that's

2383
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 4: his game. Like he can't operate from the pocket right now,

2384
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 4: That is not how Riley Leonard is at all. So

2385
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:43,599
Speaker 4: you know that to me, I guess is the first

2386
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:45,559
Speaker 4: question the Colts have to answer before you even get

2387
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 4: into the Philip Rivers. Do you deem Riley Leonard healthy

2388
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:51,519
Speaker 4: enough to start an NFL football game against one of

2389
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 4: the best defenses in the league.

2390
01:53:52,680 --> 01:53:55,360
Speaker 5: Well, even if you do, you still need a backup options, right,

2391
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 5: So we'll still signing a quarterback. Yeah, but you have

2392
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 5: to elevate him and have confid that he can get done, which,

2393
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:03,760
Speaker 5: according to Shane Styke and yesterday, didn't sound wasn't it

2394
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 5: actually a very glowing, you know, endorsement that he was

2395
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 5: going to get any reps or anything.

2396
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 3: I think part of the problem is get nuts, get

2397
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 3: put Philip Rivers out here, let's go honestly part of

2398
01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:16,840
Speaker 3: the problem. And I'm thinking about what those conversations, not

2399
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 3: even just with Philip Rivers, but it's just like Shane

2400
01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 3: Stike and Chris Ballad when they're sitting in that room,

2401
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:23,280
Speaker 3: what are we gonna do? It sounds like they kind

2402
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 3: of feel like, yeah, Brett's not gonna help us win.

2403
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 4: Well, and look I see those people saying, Hey, this

2404
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:31,360
Speaker 4: is embarrassing, blah blah. What's embarrassing is not winning the

2405
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 4: AFC South for eleven straight years. What's embarrassing is one

2406
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:38,880
Speaker 4: of the longest playoff droughts currently in the NFL. What's

2407
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 4: embarrassing to Shane Styke in two and eight against the

2408
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 4: Texans and the Jags over the last three years, that's embarrassing.

2409
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 4: You're in a dire quarterback situation with three of your

2410
01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:48,480
Speaker 4: four dudes hurt.

2411
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 6: All bets are off.

2412
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, who cares at this point? There's enough

2413
01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:57,360
Speaker 4: embarrassment for this franchise. Jeff Saturday you know. I mean,

2414
01:54:57,440 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 4: like we can go down the list of it. To

2415
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 4: me on the embarrassment scale for the Annapolis Colts, I

2416
01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 4: maybe I'm numb to it at this point, but it's

2417
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:07,640
Speaker 4: not very high on me.

2418
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 3: I still wonder is there anything to somebody like a

2419
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson who's clearly not going to be a guy

2420
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 3: with the Giants any longer? Could he just ask for

2421
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 3: his release and see if they might do him a solid?

2422
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, obviously that's a lot of behind the

2423
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 4: scenes stuff and that would have to happen here now

2424
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 4: like today, you know, again, today's the off day for

2425
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 4: the Colts. Wednesday is their full first big prep day

2426
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 4: for Seattle. It's now just a walk through, but still

2427
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 4: that quarterback needs to be in the building by sunrise Tomorrow,

2428
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:42,040
Speaker 4: Thursday and Friday, ye practice.

2429
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 5: Where would this fall on the scale of disappointments for

2430
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 5: the Colts if they started the season eight and two,

2431
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 5: when they end up not only not winning THEFC South,

2432
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:53,720
Speaker 5: but they outright and miss the playoffs.

2433
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:57,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw this stat from Stephen Holder. So according

2434
01:55:57,560 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 6: to ESPN, if the Colts were to miss the playoff,

2435
01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 6: they will be the first team since the Bears no

2436
01:56:02,600 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 6: pun intended mark of twenty twelve to start seven to

2437
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 6: one and then miss the playoffs. And I believe if

2438
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 6: they were to lose out it would tie their longest

2439
01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 6: losing streak to end the season, which will be seven games,

2440
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 6: which also happened during the Jet Saturday season. So all

2441
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 6: of that in mind, I don't know, man. I part

2442
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 6: of me wants to be like, you gotta figure out

2443
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 6: a way to win these games in December and January,

2444
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 6: but you also have truly been decimated by injuries. I

2445
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 6: can't sit up here and say this is the typical

2446
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:38,200
Speaker 6: next man up, Nah, huh not when you lose your

2447
01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:41,240
Speaker 6: starting quarterback before as Buckner's been gone, Stars, the Gardner's hurt,

2448
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 6: Vera's ward, if will he play football again? Like, these

2449
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 6: are serious questions. So that's why I think it's so

2450
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 6: nuanced we talk about I know this is your question mark,

2451
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 6: but like just kind of pushing it forward the ten

2452
01:56:53,640 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 6: years of Ballard Stike in Jones's future. It's also fluid

2453
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,280
Speaker 6: because I can see so many different you can take

2454
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,200
Speaker 6: our directions, you can go in because it is truly

2455
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:05,839
Speaker 6: not a black and white scenario.

2456
01:57:07,960 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing too, If Philip Rivers does. Let's

2457
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 3: say he does sign with the Cults, he does start

2458
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 3: at quarterback. You know, Jonathan Taylor's back there. You look

2459
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 3: at the Seahawks, there's gonna be a lot of loaded

2460
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:21,920
Speaker 3: boxes up there. They're gonna make Philip Rivers prove that

2461
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 3: he can even get the ball down Philip for a while,

2462
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 3: and there's gonna be seven eight guys waiting for Jonathan

2463
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 3: Taylor at that point in time.

2464
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 4: Imagine if you just woke up from a night quill hangover.

2465
01:57:32,480 --> 01:57:33,960
Speaker 3: I was only last week, by the way.

2466
01:57:33,840 --> 01:57:36,160
Speaker 4: And you're in your car for the first time at

2467
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 4: nine to forty and you dialed us up and you

2468
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 4: just heard jeff Ricord under the phrase, if Philip Rivers

2469
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:44,320
Speaker 4: starts on Sunday.

2470
01:57:44,520 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 5: Well, my uh brother's college roommate who was a diehard

2471
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:49,840
Speaker 5: Colts fan. He has been out of the country, so

2472
01:57:49,880 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 5: he just got back and he's responding to text, So

2473
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 5: what do you think about this Colt situation? While Philip

2474
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:55,880
Speaker 5: Rivers like, are you serious?

2475
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 3: Right now?

2476
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 5: When I said the screenshots, He's like, he's saying words

2477
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 5: I can't say on air, but it was like this

2478
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 5: cannot be true, Like, oh, it's it's true, man, it

2479
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 5: might be happening, but you.

2480
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 3: Did say that we did you you found out that

2481
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:10,880
Speaker 3: Sam Ellinger is on the practice squad for Denver. He's

2482
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 3: on the Broncos. That's something you'd be comfortable with, Kevin.

2483
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 4: I think it's all just we are circling the drain

2484
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:24,640
Speaker 4: right now. I want the chaos, weird baby. That's kind

2485
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 4: of where I'm at with entertainment standpoint. It would be

2486
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 4: a crazy story that's not necessarily honestly for these airwaves.

2487
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 4: That's not to make football decisions, but that's where I'm at. Yeah, yeah,

2488
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 4: I might as well. See you know what I mean,

2489
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 4: All these guys are just ask ourselves. Listen, gentlemen, shut up, Kevin,

2490
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:45,839
Speaker 4: what would.

2491
01:58:45,720 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 6: Jim Mersey do? I'm actually very curious what would he do?

2492
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 4: Would definitely do the Sam Ellnger thing because he loves

2493
01:58:51,400 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 4: I know.

2494
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is it feels like we're in

2495
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 6: sort of that all Chips saying on Philip Rivers. I

2496
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 6: can only imagine these conversations. Boy, these are the times.

2497
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 6: And don't get me wrong, not just the chaotic times,

2498
01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 6: and good times too. When I was I could call

2499
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 6: the man because I would absolutely love to hear his

2500
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 6: thoughts on the possibility of signing Philip Rivers. The thing

2501
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 6: is because he would believe he would he would gas

2502
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:13,560
Speaker 6: this thing up.

2503
01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 4: So far you'll make me pauses Philip Rivers legitimately being hurt,

2504
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 4: like it's like an unsafe thing. The man hasn't been

2505
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 4: in an NFL game in five years?

2506
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:24,120
Speaker 3: What wasn't it?

2507
01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:24,760
Speaker 6: They're the guy?

2508
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:25,080
Speaker 3: Was it?

2509
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,400
Speaker 6: Frank right now? That says how you say his name.

2510
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 6: He tried to sign with the Lions. Yeah, they're old

2511
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:31,520
Speaker 6: center and he got there and they were like, no, no, no, no,

2512
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 6: your hamstrings falling off the bone.

2513
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he physical.

2514
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 6: So I guess we're at the point now where this

2515
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:42,720
Speaker 6: is so old. Has Philip Rivers had a yearly physical

2516
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 6: and did he pass it?

2517
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 3: You've got kidney stones, my friend.

2518
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 4: I think you're yearly physical at forty four. Looks a

2519
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:51,720
Speaker 4: lot different than it looked at That's what I'm saying.

2520
01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:55,560
Speaker 6: From a normal human standpoint, might be a little different

2521
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 6: than passing it from a you need to play in

2522
01:59:57,600 --> 02:00:02,240
Speaker 6: a vo football on Sunday standpoint. We will catch up Kevin.

2523
02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:05,360
Speaker 3: Everything you need to think about, listen for, and watch

2524
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 3: for throughout the rest of your day. It's coming up

2525
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:09,480
Speaker 3: next ninety three five and one of seven to five

2526
02:00:09,480 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 3: of the fan suit.

2527
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 6: Crap crap, you gosh, that should have been huge tag

2528
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:19,080
Speaker 6: go it.

2529
02:00:20,960 --> 02:00:23,920
Speaker 3: Oh, good morning. Here's something interesting that I have not

2530
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 3: thought about for probably a lot of reasons, but we

2531
02:00:27,120 --> 02:00:31,520
Speaker 3: have a texture tie listening to us from Orlando, Kevin.

2532
02:00:31,560 --> 02:00:34,240
Speaker 3: He says, if the Colts sign Rivers just ripping, just retire,

2533
02:00:34,280 --> 02:00:35,880
Speaker 3: I mean that would be such an ego hit. I

2534
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:36,880
Speaker 3: can't imagine.

2535
02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're Brett ripping you, I'd be like, do

2536
02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 4: you guys remember that I'm here?

2537
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:45,160
Speaker 6: You look at the paper here? Yeah, even the practice

2538
02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:48,400
Speaker 6: squatchacs are pretty nice and you're not getting hurt exactly.

2539
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:53,640
Speaker 3: Man signs Will. Chris wants to know if Jeff Saturday

2540
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:54,520
Speaker 3: can play quarterback.

2541
02:00:56,320 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 4: Maybe we should have debated Outam, but Terry is a kicker.

2542
02:00:58,520 --> 02:01:00,440
Speaker 4: A few weeks ago when we had the Michael Badly

2543
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 4: Matt Gay debate, is Adam venitary fifty?

2544
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2545
02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:05,280
Speaker 3: I think he's like figuess the differences.

2546
02:01:05,560 --> 02:01:09,800
Speaker 6: Rivers was good as last year. So there's that. You

2547
02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 6: know what, Let this be a lesson. You can always

2548
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:15,160
Speaker 6: go back to your angs. Okay, but I was listening that.

2549
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:16,840
Speaker 4: Arm strength was holding on by a thread.

2550
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 6: It don't matter.

2551
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 3: Maybe I still love you, Ata Minitaria. I looked that

2552
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,080
Speaker 3: up last week and I just double checked too. He

2553
02:01:22,200 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 3: was fifty three. He's fifty three right now.

2554
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 5: That old yeah, britt Ripping will be like like these

2555
02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:30,680
Speaker 5: boomers won't leave.

2556
02:01:30,920 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 3: Just little won by time.

2557
02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 6: I feel like this will be a great Brett ripping.

2558
02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 6: Get the family around years from now and be like,

2559
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 6: you know what that one time I was a Philip

2560
02:01:39,320 --> 02:01:41,760
Speaker 6: Rivers and this is what the quarterback room consisted of,

2561
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 6: and the story will be great either way, whether they

2562
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 6: had some success or went disastrously.

2563
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:49,240
Speaker 3: Well, be listening all day long to us here at

2564

2566
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:56,400

2567
02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:57,040
Speaker 3: whether or not.

2568
02:01:57,040 --> 02:01:58,800
Speaker 6: I need to call the old man Rivers.

2569
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:02,480
Speaker 3: Ends up being quarterback for the Indianapolis Colt Do we

2570
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:03,680
Speaker 3: call them old man Rivers.

2571
02:02:03,480 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 6: At that point in time?

2572
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:04,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

2573
02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:06,280
Speaker 6: No, Like I was listening, I'm thinking, Hey, the Colt's

02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:08,240
Speaker 6: trying to call their ex man, need to call mine.

2575
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:15,440
Speaker 4: A good time about the bad times and the guys

2576
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:17,000
Speaker 4: are coming around to my Matt gay idea.

2577
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:20,240
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, I.

2578
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:21,800
Speaker 6: Like, you should get a ding for that. You just

2579
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 6: to get a point point for that. Yeah, because that

2580
02:02:24,440 --> 02:02:25,520
Speaker 6: was that was that was well done.

2581
02:02:25,560 --> 02:02:28,520
Speaker 4: Hey positive from Sunday Blake Blake Groupy kicking in that weather.

Speaker 4: They all like look good too.

2584
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:36,840
Speaker 6: Shout out to Angela ran from which TV she was

2585
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:38,880
Speaker 6: probably the only one of the locker room asking about

2586
02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:41,600
Speaker 6: the positives of that game. She did interview Blake Blake

2587
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 6: Groupie and I was thinking, boy, today is not that day,

2588
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 6: my brother. I'm sorry.

2589
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 4: One other item from Sunday that I am I don't

2590
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 4: get how the hell was that ruled?

2591
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:51,880
Speaker 3: And interception on.

2592
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:53,520
Speaker 6: The rilly There was a.

2593
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 4: Couple tie goes to the receiver, right yeah, And then

2594
02:02:58,280 --> 02:02:58,960
Speaker 4: I thought they.

2595
02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 3: Could have made a bigger deal about it, just watched

2596
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:02,640
Speaker 3: it on TV too, But they kind of they had

2597
02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:04,440
Speaker 3: dressed a little bit and then they kind of moved on.

2598
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 4: Well I mean the game, I mean yeah, and the

2599
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 4: game was over.

2600
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 3: They're looking for anything at that point in time, but yeah,

2601
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 3: they got to play in Seattle on Sunday, and as

2602
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 3: of right now, who like, as of right this second,

2603
02:03:18,040 --> 02:03:19,400
Speaker 3: who would be the starting quarterback?

2604
02:03:19,440 --> 02:03:20,640
Speaker 4: Well, I think a lot depends on the health of

2605
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,280
Speaker 4: Raley Leonard. You know, can you evaluate him properly on

2606
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:26,160
Speaker 4: a Tuesday? Do you have to see him practice at all?

2607
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: You know?

2608
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 4: Again, like telling a role as Chapman to go out

2609
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 4: there and pitch without his fastball, you tell Riley Leonard

2610
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:37,760
Speaker 4: to go play quarterback without his legs or a hindered

2611
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:42,360
Speaker 4: knee injury. The Gaden rapport had it as a PCL sprain.

2612
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 4: That's different. Philip Rivers with a knee injury is different

2613
02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:51,600
Speaker 4: than Riley Leonard with a knee injury. And my thought

2614
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 4: on Riley Leonard at quarterback is you have to go

2615
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 4: all in on the Notre Dame offense from last year,

2616
02:03:57,320 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 4: all in on it. RPO teams to death, run him,

2617
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 4: run him and run him some more. Try to get

2618
02:04:03,960 --> 02:04:05,480
Speaker 4: the extra number in the run game like you have

2619
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:08,560
Speaker 4: with Anthony Richardson at times. Try to get toonthan Taylor

2620
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 4: going via that route. That would be the blueprint. And

2621
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:17,320
Speaker 4: if all of a sudden, that's not his game now,

2622
02:04:18,880 --> 02:04:22,520
Speaker 4: Brett Rippon indoor Philip Rivers, I guess makes some sense.

2623
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:25,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, because to your point, Daniel Jones, prior to the

2624
02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:29,680
Speaker 6: Achilles injury obviously was at least competent as a quarterback

2625
02:04:29,760 --> 02:04:32,720
Speaker 6: without the legs. Yes, he wanted those, but you were like, hey,

2626
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 6: he can still make some plays. Riley, No, that's just

2627
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 6: not where his game is at. But I will give

2628
02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 6: him the credit he was. He looked better than I

2629
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 6: thought he would in that game against the Jaguars, especially

2630
02:04:42,080 --> 02:04:45,360
Speaker 6: on short notice and knowing I think Michael Pitman Jr.

2631
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:48,120
Speaker 6: Said Yeah, I can kind of my hand how many

2632
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 6: first team reps he's got all year.

2633
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:52,800
Speaker 3: Earlier of the show, it was a lot of fun

2634
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:55,040
Speaker 3: to catch up with the high school football coach for

2635
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:58,280
Speaker 3: fernandom and does it Dave done at Christopher Columbus High

2636
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 3: School in Miami. That was fun converce station. I don't

2637
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 3: think I was surprised by anything he said. Just a

2638
02:05:05,560 --> 02:05:09,200
Speaker 3: good kid with a great attitude, a work ethic, and

2639
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:11,800
Speaker 3: from day one sounds like he was a stud even

2640
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:13,880
Speaker 3: at Christopher Columbus High School as a sophomore.

2641
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,840
Speaker 4: Moving on, Yeah, I think some fun stories that IU

2642
02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 4: fans are even just fans of. For Nana Mendozi, he's

2643
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 4: very hard not to root for. I guess unless you're

2644
02:05:22,360 --> 02:05:25,000
Speaker 4: a new fan. I think you enjoy that. See Mark

2645
02:05:25,000 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 4: clave that on the podcast to Rick Carlisle as well

2646
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:30,000

2650
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:40,040
Speaker 3: Six, thank goodness gracious. So yeah, a lot going on.

2651
02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:41,880
Speaker 3: So the Pacers will be off until Friday, but we

2652
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,840
Speaker 3: do have college basketball tonight. Indiana has a chance to

2653
02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:49,440
Speaker 3: get it together against Penn State, double digit favorite at home,

2654
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:52,840
Speaker 3: kind of bounce back from that Louisville game. Did you

2655
02:05:52,920 --> 02:05:54,200
Speaker 3: have a chance to see any that on the road

2656
02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:56,080
Speaker 3: to Jackson Will you're probably on a plane at that point.

2657
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:58,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was on a plane, And who knows I'll

2658
02:05:58,840 --> 02:06:01,200
Speaker 6: be able to watch tonight's again because I might be

2659
02:06:01,240 --> 02:06:03,920
Speaker 6: working late inuntil the night, depending on what they do

2660
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:05,840
Speaker 6: at quarterback. You have like a little workstation over there

2661
02:06:06,040 --> 02:06:08,920
Speaker 6: with fifty six No, I mean they have, yeah, but

2662
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 6: it's only available when we had to going for practice.

2663
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 6: My workstation is my couch at home, so we'll get

2664
02:06:13,440 --> 02:06:13,760
Speaker 6: it done.

2665
02:06:13,880 --> 02:06:16,440
Speaker 3: I like that. So it's gonna be the day as

2666
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:18,839
Speaker 3: we all just kind of are on philip Rivers Watch

2667
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 3: with the Indians and the Year of Our Lord twenty

2668
02:06:21,200 --> 02:06:23,600
Speaker 3: twenty five. The second I said, I wish I could

2669
02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:25,520
Speaker 3: have I wish there was a camera on your face

2670
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:27,920
Speaker 3: when I said, we're on philip Rivers Watch.

2671
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:31,320
Speaker 5: It's amazing what three weeks is done to this organization

2672
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:36,080
Speaker 5: top of the mountain. And now you're calling retirees to

2673
02:06:36,120 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 5: play quarterback against Seattle.

2674
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 3: Hey, honest question, though, Kevin, We've talked about that schedule.

2675
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:46,320
Speaker 3: Let's say Riley Leonard is okay and can play even

2676
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:50,560
Speaker 3: that does this team win a game again in twenty

2677
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 3: twenty five?

2678
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a very real question, very real question.

2679
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:57,880
Speaker 4: You know again, the Seahawks and forty nine ers are

2680
02:06:57,880 --> 02:07:01,080
Speaker 4: playing for a lot of potentially number one seed, and

2681
02:07:01,160 --> 02:07:03,920
Speaker 4: you know we'll see about Jacksonville and Houston to close

2682
02:07:03,960 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 4: out the season. I'm right now, if the playoffs started today, right,

2683
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:09,360
Speaker 4: all four of these teams are in it. I believe

2684
02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:11,240
Speaker 4: who you have for the final four week keep winning

2685
02:07:11,560 --> 02:07:14,240
Speaker 4: in now. I'll provide an ounce of playoff optimism for

2686
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 4: you tomorrow.

2687
02:07:15,480 --> 02:07:17,840
Speaker 3: Oh gonna wait and make his wait for tomorrow. I

2688
02:07:17,920 --> 02:07:20,839
Speaker 3: like that tease. Twenty it's the twenty one hour.

2689
02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:21,920
Speaker 4: Teas are we up against it?

2690
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:26,320
Speaker 3: We got about minutes ago, were getting right out that.

2691
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:31,800
Speaker 4: Chargers loss was crushing, crushing, So the Colts playoff hopes

2692
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,160
Speaker 4: that'll be mine in the win, So excuse me, the

2693
02:07:34,160 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 4: the Chargers win. Basically, you need to finish with a

2694
02:07:37,320 --> 02:07:39,240
Speaker 4: better record, and the Chargers have I would say, as

2695
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:41,240
Speaker 4: equally as a daunting schedule the end the season as

2696
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:41,600
Speaker 4: the Colts.

2697
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:44,520
Speaker 3: They're much more equipped to deal with that schedule though, correct.

2698
02:07:44,560 --> 02:07:46,560
Speaker 4: But again you have the head to head tiebreaker over them.

2699
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,760
Speaker 4: So if you could have seen them go down last night,

2700
02:07:50,040 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 4: that would have been very very helpful and trying to

2701
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 4: create the head to head tiebreaker. And as of now

2702
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 4: your eighth they are one of the wildcard teams you're

2703
02:07:58,520 --> 02:07:59,200
Speaker 4: outside looking in.

2704
02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:01,840
Speaker 3: We'll keep an eye on it. Like I said, we'll

2705
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:04,360
Speaker 3: be listening to Jake Query from noon to three all

2706
02:08:04,440 --> 02:08:07,160
Speaker 3: day long, see if anything breaks there for the news.

2707
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:10,280
Speaker 3: I love, especially to Jake's Breaking news Center. We need

2708
02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:12,760
Speaker 3: to find one of those and then JMB will break

2709
02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:14,760
Speaker 3: it all down for you from three to six. It's

2710
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 3: all right here all day long at ninety three five

2711
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:17,640
Speaker 3: and one oh seven five f
