1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Big show lined up for you today. As a matter

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: of fact, as we always do on a Thursday, we're

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: going to take a road trip today because the Colts

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and Broncos are set to tussle coming up on a

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: later afternoon game this Sunday a Lucas Oil Stadium. We

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: will go out to Denver and discuss. Matt Taylor will

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: also join us, so we'll keep it close to home

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: and the sake of making sure that we are getting

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: all aspects, all sides of things. We talked to Indiana

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: earlier this week. We're going to talk a little Purdue

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: football coming up in today's show. As a matter of fact,

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the heroes of their two thousand Rose Bowl

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: team going to join us because that team will be

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: honored this weekend at ross Aids Stadium. But I begin

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: with this, something happened on my way to work. Was

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: driving to work and realized that I needed to stop

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: for gas. This is obviously not unusual for anyone. And

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I stopped at the gas station and there kind of

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: was just this somber hue, if you will, Like there

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: just was this kind of incredulous look on the face

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: of people.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: And.

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: You could just feel this I wouldn't say tension, but

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: uncertainty in the air. And nobody really was saying much.

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: But there was one guy sitting in his car and

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: we kind of made eye contact, and he looked up

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: at me and said, and this is a true story.

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: He looked up at me and said, you know, we're

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: actually on the same team. And I said, you're right,

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: we are. I didn't know him, he didn't know me.

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 1: We really have no idea the I have no idea

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: this guy's family. I have no idea his socioeconomic background.

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't know anything about him. But

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: there wasn't much more that needed to be said than

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: simply we're actually all in the same team. And I said,

36
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: you're right, and it made perfect sense. It made perfect

37
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: sense based on the temperate of the world in general.

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: And then I got to thinking about the fact that

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: I work in sports, and I realized that, like, if

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you're going to go to Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: and you're going to watch the Colts and the Broncos,

42
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: are you going to go to ross Age Stadium and

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: you're going to watch USC and Purdue. Are you're going

44
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: to go tomorrow night? In Bloomington and watch Indiana and

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Indiana State. You can find the obvious answer in the

46
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: fact that one group of people are rooting for the

47
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Broncos and one group are rooting for the Colts, one

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: group are rooting for the Trojans, one group is rooting

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: for the boiler Makers, one group's rooting for the Sycamores,

50
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: one group's rooting for the Hoosiers. But in those circumstances,

51
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: everyone in the building is a fan of college football,

52
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: or everyone in the building is a fan of the

53
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: National Football League. And the story of the guy at

54
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: the gas station was not today. It was twenty four

55
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: years ago today, and it's something that I'll never forget

56
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: because on September the eleventh, I was going to work

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: and I didn't even know if I needed to go

58
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: to work. I, like everybody had watched what took place,

59
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: But I worked at a television station here in Indianapolis,

60
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: and I remember calling Dave first and Dave saying, I

61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to have a sportscast tonight. And

62
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, the the droplets of uncertainty were all coming

63
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: in before all of a sudden it became this really

64
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: rainstorm of question and doubt and just everything that took

65
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: place in the immediacy following it. But in the initial

66
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: reaction it was I don't think we're going to do

67
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: a sportscast tonight. Well we didn't end up doing a

68
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: newscast for like a week because it was all national coverage,

69
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: understandably so, and nobody knew how to react, nobody knew

70
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: what to say, nobody knew what the protocol was. We

71
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: had never been through this before, at least in this generation,

72
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: in this soil, in this country, and that regards to civilians,

73
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: in a civilian life. And I did not know anybody

74
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: who lost their life twenty four years ago. Today. I

75
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: have always there is a a phone call that took

76
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: place where a girl and a woman I say girl,

77
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: a woman by the name of Melissa Dwhy called nine

78
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: one one and wanted to make sure she knew her

79
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: fate and she wanted to make sure that the nine

80
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: to one one operator let her mother know that she

81
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: loved her. And I've always felt like that was a

82
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: representation for those of us that didn't personally know someone,

83
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: we could all identify with that and connect with Melissa

84
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: d Why And I always think about her and her mother.

85
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea. If her mother is still with us,

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: lives in New York, I have no idea. But the

87
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: point that I'm making long winded is this, during that time,

88
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: I went into Channel six because we all went to

89
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: whatever our comfort zone was or wherever we felt we

90
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: needed to be. A lot of people just went home.

91
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: I remember my dad just just showing up. I was

92
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: living in my parents' house at the time, and before

93
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: I went to Channel six, my dad just coming home.

94
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: Everybody just immediately went to wherever they felt they needed

95
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to be on this date twenty four years ago, and eventually,

96
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: as a people, and eventually as a community, and eventually

97
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: as a country, we began to heal in Mass And

98
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: part of how we began to heal in Mass was

99
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: through sport. And I remember one of the first sportscasts

100
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: that we did day first, going out and doing a

101
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: story on two high school football teams that were scheduled

102
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: to play and obviously did not play on the week

103
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven, and instead of playing in a

104
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: football game, the two coaches got the two teams together

105
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: to go out and do community work within the community.

106
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: And so we did a story on that because that

107
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: was kind of our soft re entry into talking about

108
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: sports when we just didn't know when the timing was

109
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: right to do so. And the reason I bring that

110
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: up today, I don't think I need to go into

111
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: or elaborate on the political current and climates of today

112
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: and the horrific visuals of that in terms of today's era,

113
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: other than to say that, just like then, I now

114
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: sometimes wonder and am curious about what is the proper

115
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: protocol of what needs to be said? And in that

116
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: era twenty four years ago, it was sport that unified us.

117
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: It was sport to a lot of people that allowed

118
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: us to reacclimate back into the American culture. It was

119
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: the World Series and President Bush throwing out the first pitch.

120
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: It was the World Series and Ray Charles singing America

121
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: the Beautiful. It was sport oftentimes that brought us back

122
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: into the American culture and lifestyle when we needed it

123
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: and were trying to wade through what the proper protocol

124
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: was and when I was thinking about today what would

125
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: be appropriate to address in regards to events yesterday, in

126
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: regards to regards to the visuals of a young person

127
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: losing their life over what we can speculate, but not

128
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: concretely know was politically motivated. Like then, I didn't know

129
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: today what was the proper protocol. And I determined and decided,

130
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: and I ask for forgiveness if it's the wrong approach.

131
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: But what I decided was that in fact, when these

132
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: times come, it is sport that allows people to come together,

133
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: find similarity, and find some course of normality and joy

134
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: in a world that otherwise can sometimes provide neither. And

135
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: so therefore I think the best course of action today

136
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: is to simply say, we at this radio station myself

137
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: are well aware of not only what today represents historically speaking,

138
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: but what today represents currently speaking, and we do our

139
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: best to venture through it by finding the common ground

140
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: of sport. And that's what we'll discuss today, and we

141
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: do so by openly saying that the beauty of it all,

142
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, that I hope people

143
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: can remember, is that life is about and about the

144
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: same as those football stadiums. We're sure you can look

145
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: at the T shirt of the person cheering on the

146
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: other side of the aisle, but in reality you are

147
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: both fans of the same sport. And in this country

148
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: we can look at things today and realize those things,

149
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: but also do so by knowing that we are fans

150
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: of and in the same arena of the greatest country

151
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: in the world. And that's what allows us to today

152
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: talk about sports, and that's what we're going to do,

153
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: and we'll begin by doing so talking about the Colts

154
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: in the Denver Broncos. Brandon Christal will join us about

155
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: twenty minutes from now. Just under that as a matter

156
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: of fact, to preview what takes place, And there has

157
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: been plenty that has been said obviously about the quarterbacking situation,

158
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. How about the fact I saw this

159
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison. It's been a while since I've heard the

160
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: name David Carr. Okay, David Carr was the number one

161
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: overall pick in the NFL Draft, taken by the Houston

162
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Texans out of Fresno State. As a matter of fact,

163
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: I believe David Carr was the first ever draft selection

164
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: present of the Houston Texans. He was the very first

165
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Texan essentially. Yeah, they had an expansion draft and Steve McKinney,

166
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: for example, was drafted away from the Colts as an

167
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and went to Houston. But David Carr was.

168
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought David Carr was

169
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: going to be a a precise rhythm quarterback, and in

170
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: addition to that, a quarterback that had some mobility about him.

171
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And Houston was very intrigued by what he could do.

172
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: And they went out and they drafted him. And then

173
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: guess what happened when they drafted him. They had nothing

174
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: to support him, and he spent I have always said

175
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: I broke into the Astrodome during the IndyCar Race in

176
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Houston several years ago, well documented, well talked about, well stated,

177
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: and I went through the Astrodome by myself and had

178
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: a chance to sit there and evaluate and assess and

179
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: look at every single inch of the Astrodome and it

180
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: was awesome. And right next to the Astrodome is NRG Stadium,

181
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: which is the current home of the Houston Texans. It's mammoth,

182
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: it's massive, and it's amazing how when you look at

183
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: it in comparison to the Astronome, especially when you fly

184
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: over it, it's the size of Lucas Oil Stadium. But

185
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: the Astrodome was the seventh Wonder of the World when

186
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and the bad news Bears play

187
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: there in Evil Canevil and leu Al Sinder get his

188
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: eye scratched there and all of that. Astrom is this big,

189
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: famous historic venue and it's right next to NRG Stadium,

190
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: and now today it literally looks like the old Laurence

191
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Central High School Gymnasium that was round on fifty sixth

192
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: Street in sitting next to NRG Stadium. NRG Stadium is

193
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: massive and energ stadium if you look at the lights

194
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: of it. David Carr is the one guy that can

195
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: actually tell you exactly how many lights are in NRG

196
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: Stadium because he basically sat on his back and was

197
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: able to count every single one of them because he

198
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: was absolutely thrashed and throttled as a quarterback and never

199
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: got any sort of feel about playing the quarterback position

200
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: because he was constantly under duress as the Houston Texans quarterback.

201
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: But David Carr likes Daniel Jones. David Carr, who is

202
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: a player that I would assume has experienced, has knowledge,

203
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: has the trained eye to be able to see good

204
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: and bad situations for a quarterback because he's been through it.

205
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: David Carr came out and said, I think Daniel Jones

206
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a Peyton Manning tendency about him,

207
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: a Peyton Manning tendency about him. Now in this town,

208
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: you take anything that resembles Peyton Manning tendency, right, And

209
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: I think what he is saying is this, and you

210
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: got to look kind of above and beyond just the

211
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: nuance of what is being said. Yeah, it's easy to

212
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: critique that, but and say, like, that's a totally insane comment, right,

213
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: But when you look at what David Carr had to say,

214
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: he made some great checks at the line of scrimmage.

215
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: He was really on it. He said this on the

216
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. It was funny because he looked like Peyton,

217
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: you get in the same uniform, you're in that building.

218
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: He's got the same mannerisms. I'm going to follow and

219
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: study Indy the rest of the year. He said. Now,

220
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: David Carr is a guy that when he looks at

221
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: that is probably probably saying to himself, I know a quarterback,

222
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: and I can recognize when a quarterback is in a

223
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: good situation, because he was not. And I think when

224
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: he looks at it and says, you know, he says, hey,

225
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, I get excited about it because he's up

226
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: there and he's making checks, he's moving guys around. He

227
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: has the ability, like Peyton Manning did, to recognize things.

228
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: But I think David Carr recognizes that Daniel Jones also

229
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: is put into a situation right away that is advantageous

230
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: for him as opposed to the one that is challenging

231
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in Jones. Credit to the Colts, Credit

232
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: to Chris Ballard. Chris Ballard preached and talked about the

233
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: fact that he wanted an offensive line that was in

234
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: the trenches going to win the battles. He wanted depth

235
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: of playmakers at receiver and that took a while, that

236
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: absolutely while, but he wanted that depth. And I think

237
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: they have it now with Pittman and downs. And you know,

238
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: even Adie Mitchell play made a play, right, Even Adie Mitchell.

239
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: He was at the beginning of the Soul Asylum Runaway

240
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Train video for a long time there because he was missing,

241
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: and then all of sudden boom, there's Adie Mitchell. Right,

242
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: Adie Mitchell made a play. And then you have Jonathan Taylor.

243
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: It goes without saying there we know what a weapon

244
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: that is. And then we've talked about it a lot

245
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: in the form of Tyler Warren and who and what

246
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren is. There are just so many areas that

247
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: I think that they have put Daniel Jones in the

248
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: best situation. And as I talked about yesterday, I just

249
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: think Shane Steiken looked at all of the resources that

250
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: were given to him by Chris Ballard and had to

251
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: determine which quarterback he felt like not only could best

252
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: benefit from those resources, but which quarterback can best benefit

253
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: those resources themselves. And he went with Daniel Jones. And

254
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: does this mean And I'm gonna be very curious when

255
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: we talk to Brandon about this, whether or not Denver

256
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: presents the kind of, you know, defensive challenge that we

257
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: want to see Daniel Jones up against. Is Miami a

258
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: good defense? I mean, Miami looks like a dumpster fire.

259
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Can we truly assess and evaluate where the Colts are

260
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: based on what Miami threw at them? They look like

261
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: they were like Keystone cops out there. So I think

262
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: a better test this week. And Eddie correct me if

263
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm wrong in this. You Eddie Garrison, Okay, you do

264
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: the pre and post game shows for the Indiana Fever.

265
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Correct that is accurate. Yeah, familiar when they are playing

266
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: West Coast games, for example, you're up here a little

267
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: bit later, right, that is correct? Yes, And then you

268
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: get up in the morning and you come in here

269
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: and you get your chai tea and whatever else, right,

270
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: or make yourself up or I.

271
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: Get my Java house peeling, pop Pod peeling, poor POD's baby,

272
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: whatever peel and poor Peel Poppy out.

273
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm going right here. Those papakas in there, So you

274
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: gotta wake yourself up. If in fact, do we know yet,

275
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: we still don't know who the Fever are playing or win. Correct,

276
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: we will find that out tonight. There's a lot of

277
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: things that could happen. Are you would you say, when's

278
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: the last time you, Eddie Garrison? There's a reason I'm

279
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: asking this as it relates to this weekend and the Colts.

280
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: When is the last time you went out? And I

281
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: know that you and Olivia your your girlfriend. When's the

282
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: last time you guys went out and just said we're

283
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna paint the town red. We're gonna go out, We're

284
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: staying out late night, We're hitting teky bobs. I'm gonna

285
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: take my shirt off and you know, do some dancing.

286
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to eight second Saloon. I'm gonna ride

287
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: the mechanical bull. We're gonna we're just gonna tie one on,

288
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: go out to dinner, stay out late night, and have

289
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: a big night.

290
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: It's a oh boy, probably April, if I had to guess,

291
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 3: it's been that long.

292
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: It's been that long. I mean for me, I'm like,

293
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: I don'll probably like, here's the thing in five.

294
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: I don't know how much of the listeners know. She

295
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 3: works nights, so she works Sunday nights, and then I work,

296
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 3: you know, week nights, sometimes weekend nights because the pacers

297
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: and fever, so it kind of makes things challenging sometimes

298
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: to paint the town.

299
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: This is my assignment for you, young Jedi. You're ready, okay.

300
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I think you should do it Saturday night. I think

301
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Saturday night, you and this town you should go out

302
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: and just tie one on.

303
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: Have that fund you mention that because I was discussed yesterday.

304
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: What's that we discussed during that yesterday? Yeah, Now here's

305
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: why for the entire city. Here's why you could sleep

306
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: in Sunday right. Oh yeah, I thought when the schedule

307
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: came out and correct me if I'm wrong.

308
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: Here.

309
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: I was under the impression when the schedule came out

310
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: that every single game was a one o'clock game. Right,

311
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: this is not a one o'clock game on Sunday, right, Nope,

312
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: four o'clock.

313
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: They have a couple I think they have an eight

314
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: o'clock I against San Francisco, and then they have another

315
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 3: four o'clock start, maybe two others because they're playing the

316
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: AFC West this year in the NFC West.

317
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: So Taiwan on Baby four o'clock start, coltson Broncos, and

318
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Brandon's going to join us later in the program to

319
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: talk about it. You do anything fun last night? What

320
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: did I do last night?

321
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Now?

322
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: I did not do anything fun, just kind of relaxed

323
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: at the house. What about you?

324
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: The same I had? And for those that are curious,

325
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: and I realized that that list of people would be

326
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: probably just Eddie. But if you're watching on the YouTube

327
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: chat right now, and we thank you for doing so

328
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: wait wait, wait the what there you go the YouTube

329
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: chat because nobody beats.

330
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: The whiz y gonna make that little smile on.

331
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: You may or may not notice that I have a

332
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: a bandage and there is nothing in life that I

333
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: hate more than needles.

334
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: I I noticed you had a bandage on your thumb

335
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: as well the other day, and I was concerned.

336
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm on the thinners, and if I get a

337
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: paper cut, then all of a sudden it becomes old faithful.

338
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: But I so here's the thing, and I want to

339
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: make very clear for every with this. For Franciscan Health

340
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: forty nine dollars heart scan at Franciscan. It is not invasive.

341
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: It is very easy to do. I today had to

342
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: go in for a heart stress test. This was kind

343
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: of a routine check, but you go in and so

344
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: I knew that I was going to go in. They

345
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: were going to put wires on me. I was going

346
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: to get on a treadmill and then after once you

347
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: get your heart rate to a certain level, then they

348
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: immediately take you off the treadmill and you've got to

349
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: lay on a table and they do imaging of your

350
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: heart itself. The two things about this, there were only

351
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: two things about this that were troublesome. The first is

352
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: when they first laid me down on the wires and

353
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: the girl was getting everything set up, I hear this

354
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: wh who and I'm like, what is that noise? That

355
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: is disgusting. What's that disgusting noise? She's like, Oh, that's

356
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: the sound of your the blood going through your heart. Okay,

357
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: I didn't need to hear that. Then she says, oh,

358
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: and by the way, I forgot to tell you. In

359
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: order to do this, we have to actually do an

360
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: IV on you. Now, Eddie, I got news for needle

361
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: and me and needles not a good mix.

362
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: Really.

363
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: I am not a fan of needles in any way,

364
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: shape or form. In any way, shape or form, but

365
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. And so therefore

366
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: they gave me the IV and I still have the

367
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: bandage on my arm, and so that is the reason

368
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: for that. If you are asked or if you're wondering,

369
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: thank you for your concern. But that is the reason.

370
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: So did the stress test. And I want to encourage

371
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: everybody if you have not had a forty nine dollars

372
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: hard scan, go ahead and do so also because that

373
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: is very easy. It does not have the sound effects

374
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: nor the needle that go into it, so you are

375
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: all good in that regard. Perdue this weekend is going

376
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: to honor their two thousand Rose Bowl team. That is

377
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: because if your quick math is working like mine. That

378
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: tells you that it has been one quarter century, believe

379
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: that or not twenty five years since Perdue went to

380
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. And they're going to honor that team

381
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend in their game against USC. How

382
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: weird is it to think that, you know, back when

383
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: in the Rose Bowl, and I know that it was

384
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: Perdue playing on Washington and the Rose Bowl in two thousand,

385
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: But back in the day when you thought about USC,

386
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: you thought if there was a Big ten team, it

387
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: would be in the Rose Bowl. That would give them

388
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: the best chance to square off, because that's how it

389
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: worked back then in the Pac ten and Big Ten

390
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: championship matchups. It was Washington, not USC in two thousand.

391
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: But it will be Washington or USC, excuse me, this weekend,

392
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: and that is a Big ten game, and they will

393
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: be honoring the two thousand team, the guy that made

394
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: the play. And there are a lot of great plays,

395
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: a lot of them in that two thousand season for

396
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Joe Tiller's Predue boiler Makers. But they're facing Ohio State.

397
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: They won, I believe at that point, two in a row,

398
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: and they're looking to punch their ticket to the Rose Bowl.

399
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: But they're down against Ohio State late in the game.

400
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: We all know how great Drew Brees is. We all

401
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: know the the accuracy of Drew Brees, the clutch play

402
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: of Drew Brees, all of it, and it was on

403
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: display full right there in the play known simply according

404
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: to Brent Musburger, or because of Brent Musburger, as the

405
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Holy Toledo play Drew Brees to Seth Morales that put

406
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Purdue into the Rose Bowl. And Seth Morales is going

407
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: to join us today. He will be there coming up

408
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday. He is one of the players that will

409
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: be honored. There are a number of them, and we'll

410
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: get the full list of those that are going to

411
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: be there on Saturday. He's going to join us two

412
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: o'clock on the show. That's thirty minutes after Rob Blackman

413
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: of the Predu Radio Network will join us on today's program,

414
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: and Matt Taylor, the voice of the Colts, will join

415
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: us at two thirty today, so a full slate. We

416
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: might even mix in some phone calls as well. We

417
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: didn't do that yesterday and perhaps we should have. As always,

418
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the text line two three nine ten seventy three one

419
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: seven area code obviously three one seven two three nine

420
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: one zero seven zero if you want to text us

421
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: during the course of the show, or of course on

422
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: my personal cell phone as well. But when we come back,

423
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: he is a friend of the program. It is a

424
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: road trip Colts and Denver going to be here on Sunday,

425
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: but we're going to go to Denver to talk to

426
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Brandon Costal and we're going to do it in five

427
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm doing a service to folks here.

428
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: I'm doing a service to folks because we are letting

429
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: you go for free here to Denver, Colorado as part

430
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: of our Thursday road trip. And I don't know if

431
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: and I only know this because Shannon and I are

432
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: going to Denver for a weekend in October to go

433
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: see Paul McCartney. Airfare right now to Denver not inexpensive.

434
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but airfare to Denver specifically

435
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: like through the roof. But Eddie, nonetheless, are you ready

436
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: to put your train in the upright position and fasten

437
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: your seatbelt. We're on our way to Denver. Brandon Gristal

438
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: joins us now on the program. Of course, a regular

439
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: here if you will on Querying Company Brandon, How are you?

440
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm doing good?

441
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: Jake Miley thought, is that's fall break here starts that weekend,

442
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: but that would be flights out of Denver, and maybe

443
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: it's fall breaks around the country.

444
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: Folks want to come or they want to see Paul McCartney.

445
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm going to be in London because the Broncos

446
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: played the Jets the night before that, that Sunday, the twelfth,

447
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: and I think that concert's on the eleven the course

448
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 4: field where they used.

449
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: To have Major League Baseball, but these days the Rockies

450
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: play there.

451
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is by the way before we get to

452
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: the Broncos Man, what in the world happened in the Rockies?

453
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: They're terrible, right, they're the worst team in baseball.

454
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Right by a long shot.

455
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 4: When you never get creative with how you handle your management.

456
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 4: And since Dan O'Dowd got here in ninety nine, they've

457
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 4: had twenty six straight years of a vertical line. So

458
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 4: Dan O'Dowd was seated by one of his under lingus

459
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: guy nam jet right It, who ran it for a while.

460
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 2: He did the.

461
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: Ronado deal that also traded Ronado, and then after him

462
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 4: a gay named Bill Schmidt, who was a long time

463
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: scouting director.

464
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: That came with o doubt. He is now the GM.

465
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: A lot of people think he won't survive the year.

466
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 4: So when you never get any thoughts from outside the

467
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: building in your argument as well, other teams, you bring

468
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: someone from the.

469
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 2: Outside, other people that have worked at other teams, they

470
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: don't know how to win at altitude.

471
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 4: I used to say, well, you've got forty wins, you

472
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: also do not know how to win it out.

473
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: When I'm one hundred loss for any it can't be worse.

474
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: It can be as bad, but it can't be worse.

475
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: And so they're not gonna be the worst team in

476
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: the history of baseball. But they're not much better. It's

477
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: got a couple of young pieces like all major league teams.

478
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: Seem to have, but no, they they and they played

479
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 4: hard since the break, but they're just.

480
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: Not very good.

481
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 4: And I don't know what we'll say that even with

482
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: them drafting that holiday the younger son Ethan this past June.

483
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 4: But it is a cool place to see a game,

484
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 4: the great place to a game, and depending on where

485
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 4: your seats are for McCartney, it's.

486
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: A cool place to see a concert.

487
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: I just hope you're not behind home Plate necessarily because

488
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 4: you'll be very far from the stage.

489
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: I think it's at you know what, I guess you're right,

490
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: it's at Rocky. It's at Coursefield as opposed to Investco

491
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 1: or the Mile High or whatever they call it these days, right,

492
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: Branda Christall. By the way, our guest BK. Denver Sports

493
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: on the ex post Twitter, and he is the host

494
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: and reporter assistant regional manager for Guerrilla Sports talking about.

495
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: The Denver to the regional manager, what's that? Just like

496
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: d white shirt from now you're.

497
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: The assistant regional manager. Come on, well just I mean

498
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: you're you're George Goestanzi here, Brandon. Do you smell his gratifications?

499
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: That's right, you're the assistant to the assistant manager. Okay, Brandon,

500
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: let's get to this. You know, the Colts looked really

501
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: good in Week one, and there is optimism here in Indianapolis.

502
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: But they also played Miami, and we you know week

503
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: one overreaction. We have no idea who teams are through

504
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: week one. But now they go and they take on Denver.

505
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I had said, I thought this was an important two

506
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: game stretch for the Colts because theoretically, these are two

507
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: teams that are going to be thought to be around

508
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: the same area within the conference where the Colts are

509
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: going to be in November or December if they're not

510
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: divisional winners and the wild card is in play. What

511
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: is the strength of this Denver Broncos team that can

512
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: challenge Indianapolis.

513
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: Well, certainly it's their defense.

514
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: And I think when I talk to you, what six

515
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 4: weeks hereo or so, right around he started training camp,

516
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: or maybe longer than because you had the race coming down,

517
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 4: so whatever, it was a couple of months ago. We

518
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 4: thought about the defense and they came to play Sunday.

519
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: There.

520
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 4: You know, they've already racked up six SATs coming off

521
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: a season where they had sixty three as a team

522
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 4: to lead the NFL. Six different players got to the quarterback.

523
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: They actually lost the turnover battle. Teams that won the

524
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: turnover battle. Sean Payton told us on a Wednesday or

525
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 4: eight and a one, the Broncos, because of bone, they

526
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: thrown a couple of.

527
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: Ill advised passes. Not that sever advised, although every now

528
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: and then I guess the good pass can get tipped

529
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: up or broken up.

530
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: But some ill advised pass, especially the second interception wasn't

531
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 4: very good. And if you go back and watch that

532
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: game and don't how many Colts stans saw it. He

533
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 4: had about two or three in the first half that

534
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: also could have been accepted.

535
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: They just weren't. And so then and then he gave

536
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: up a fumble on a strip.

537
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: Sack, something that he didn't do at all as a

538
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: rookie and didn't do in college. He does protect them

539
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: all pretty well, but they lost a turnover bat battle. Nonetheless,

540
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 4: every time a short field they held the Titans to

541
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: three or less and so they give the four field goals.

542
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: And so you're good up front.

543
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: Although we don't know what the expectations for Drake green Want,

544
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: who didn't play this past week. John Franklin, Meyer's defensive

545
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: lineman miss practice yesterday, But I was told by someone

546
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 4: I trust that it's no big deal, and so maybe.

547
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: He will be in there big one of the big

548
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: met up front in that rotation. But then on the

549
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: back end, adding Talana Hfoman, who had his mixed point out.

550
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: Yesterday, I think he had every tackle in the first quarter.

551
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: He is as good as advertised. Went healthy and there's

552
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: a reason he was all Pro a couple of years

553
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: ago with the Niners, so adding him to a secondary

554
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 4: that already has the best offensive player in football and

555
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: passer Tan Junior, who gave up no catches on thirty

556
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 4: four pass covered drafts.

557
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: Family threw his way once.

558
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: But it's a good day of work and they're good

559
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: kind of across the board with the first round pick

560
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: and Barren that plays, and then Nicol and can play

561
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: outside McMillan who had the strip sacked late of caam Ward,

562
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: and then Riley Moss, who a lot of folks in

563
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: the Big Dead remember, because we certainly noticed white cornerbacks

564
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: that I always had a couple of good ones. But

565
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: Riley played really well and had a great game in

566
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: the opener.

567
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: So it's all about their defense keeping them in the game.

568
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: Can their offense make enough plays?

569
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: Brandon the defense itself. Brandon Christal is our guest talking

570
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: about the Broncos. You know, with in Daniel Jones, what

571
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen did really well I thought in Week one

572
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: for Indianapolis was running offense and call plays that catered

573
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: towards Daniel Jones, getting him in rhythm a little bit,

574
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: and really featuring Tyler Warren their tight end, who's going

575
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: to be a really good player for Indianapolis. But defensively,

576
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: does Denver run a defense that is really aggressive? Is

577
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones going to see a lot of different stunt

578
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: looks and are they going to see a lot of

579
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: blitzes or is it more just simply locked down like

580
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: cover type defense.

581
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 4: No, I think that that's kind of ans. Joseph's calling

582
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: card is how many different exotic looks can he give

583
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 4: you and how many different stunts twists games.

584
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: Up front came the d lineman and you know they're led.

585
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: By Zach Allen, who just got a new contract extension

586
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: coming off a year where it wasn't Chris Jones, it

587
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: wasn't another interior lineman. He was the defensive lineman who

588
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: had the most TB pressures, racked up eight and a

589
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: half sacks. He's really strawtt skurs to drink there. But

590
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: I mentioned JFM DJ Jones up front, and their backups

591
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: are really aggressive too, so they come after you a

592
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: bunch of different ways. Like I mentioned, McMillan had that

593
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: script sack. I mean he's five pen on his best day,

594
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty five pounds and they'll send the

595
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: corner from a corner blitz when you.

596
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Don't expect it to be coming.

597
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: And so that's kind of been one of many Joseph's

598
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: strong suits. I think he gives that a lot from

599
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: his time around Wade Phillips in Houston, and so I

600
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: think that it will confuse Daniel Jones if it works

601
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: the way they want it to. And one other thing too,

602
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: is it relates to Daniel Jones. He's really close with

603
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 4: Davis Webb. And I don't know how people know this.

604
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 4: I asked Sean Payton about it yesterday. He tried to

605
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 4: downplay it. But Davis Webb because seanles want to hold

606
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: us a story on Fridays at least that last season

607
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: that Webb was with Daniel in New York in twenty

608
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: twenty two, and they made the playof Davis would take

609
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: Daniel to the indoor for the Giants and go through

610
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: the game plan and walk through it with him like

611
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: he was a coach. Now, Davis is the son of

612
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 4: a coach. He steps off the practice field we're in

613
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 4: that same season or off the playing field. He started

614
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: that final regular season game because the Giants were locked

615
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 4: into the into their playoff spot, so they gave Daniel

616
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: Jones the day off, and Davis started that game and

617
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 4: then immediately became the Broncos quarterbacks coach, jumping a couple

618
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 4: levels that most coaches have to go through from quality

619
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: control and other areas before you become a quarterbacks coach.

620
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: But so Davis web has as good a knowledge as

621
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, probably as anyone, and saw Daniel when he

622
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 4: was at his best before we saw what we saw

623
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: last Sunday. That doesn't mean that he'll be able to

624
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: relay everything to Shane Steichen's offense is obviously different than

625
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: what Dave all ran, but you have somebody that at

626
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 4: least knows what Davis's tenant or what Daniel jones tendencies are,

627
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: and so it'd be interesting to see how he does

628
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 4: relay that the Vans Joseph, We're going to talk to

629
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: VJA today and we talked to the coordinators. I'm sure

630
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 4: he'll down plan it as well. But that doesn't mean

631
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 4: that Davis, as were sitting in there in a game

632
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: plan meeting with him on Tuesday to go through things

633
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: that he saw Daniel do well to say we need

634
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: to keep him out of this and try to make

635
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: him do that.

636
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: So Davis Webb, of course, is the passing game coordinator,

637
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the Broncos and quarterbacks coach. He's kind

638
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: of like the assistant of the regional manager basically. But

639
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: having said that, Brandon, you know he's working now with

640
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: bow Knicks. So in conclusion on the offensive side of

641
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: the ball for Denver, bow Knicks now has taken what

642
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: sort of step here over the course of his time

643
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: since he has, you know, been working with Sean Payton,

644
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: And what sort of threat offensively does Denver present to

645
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: the Colts.

646
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's yet to be determined.

647
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: As you were asking me what kind of stuff he's

648
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: taken so far, i'd say sideways Charlay backwards. They won,

649
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: They scored two touchdowns. Those interceptions weren't good. You saw

650
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: a couple of really good throws, especially to Courtland Sutton,

651
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 4: not just on a touchdown, but on early kind of

652
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 4: bootleg action. A couple of good throws one of the

653
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: old collegeamate Troy Franklin and Evan Ingram him and so

654
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 4: and early on he did what he did last year.

655
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: In the first quarter, he targeted eight receivers and other

656
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 4: than the third running back that didn't catch either the

657
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 4: passes throw on the him.

658
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: One he had to catch on a screen he missed.

659
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: The other I would have gotten him killed had both

660
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: put it on the numbers by a safety coming across

661
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: those good at saled out of bounds the end zone.

662
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: But he was seven for you know, hit seven different guys.

663
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 4: And that's what he did great last year was read

664
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 4: the ball around. Even though he looked at Courtland Sutton

665
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 4: the most, he was able to spread it around. Now,

666
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: the one thing they did in the second half they

667
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: did do in the first half was run the football.

668
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 4: The numbers are a little scuge because rookie yard j

669
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 4: Harvey had a fifty yard run, but the da get

670
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: out of scored on a near a touchdown run. But

671
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: Jacob just stay submitted to running the football in the

672
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 4: first half. That'll help bow Nicks because that'll help keep

673
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 4: the defense honest if you will. And one thing Sean said,

674
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: Sean loves to make excuses to protect both. He said,

675
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 4: there were too many RPOs and that's on him. His

676
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 4: bow made the check to the pass. He's like, we

677
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: need more run to run options and he's like, so

678
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 4: that's on me as a play caller and baby of

679
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 4: truth in that. But at the same time, Bo has

680
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 4: to know that running the ball, even if it's not

681
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: for a lot of yardage because of the look you're getting,

682
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: will still keep the defense thinking, oh, they're going to

683
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: keep trying.

684
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: To run it.

685
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 4: So can he improved from what we saw as a rookie. Absolutely,

686
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: and if he doesn't, then the Broncos won't be talking

687
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: about a postseason. But I just can't say that he's

688
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 4: made huge progress other than having a big understanding, a

689
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: much better understanding of the offense. That's something he's talked

690
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 4: about throughout the offseason. He talked about it with I

691
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: think Chase Daniel and Dan ever Sini when they were here.

692
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: He said that last year he just kind of memorized

693
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 4: everything and now he really understands on it.

694
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: By the way, Brandon Jalen texts in the show that says,

695
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: let Brandon know that Indy deserves a major League baseball

696
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: team more than Denver. I don't know that I totally

697
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: agree with that, but I will say Shannon's nephews, who

698
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: are pretty big Rockies fans, they grew up in Denver.

699
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: They have told me a numerous occasion their frustration is

700
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: because the stadium is so cool and because the games

701
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: are fun in terms of the non baseball aspect of it,

702
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, the Rockies don't have to spend money

703
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: because everybody goes to the games, regardless fact or fiction.

704
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, total fact.

705
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 4: The numbers are down a little this year, at least

706
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 4: they were early in the year. Now again they've played better.

707
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 4: They've played better ball of late, and you know, you

708
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: get the Dodgers coming in a couple of.

709
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: Times and that's going to be cool.

710
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 4: And the Yankees state to town as well this year,

711
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: so those are going to always be big member. Same

712
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 4: with the Cubs. They'll sell out to two Saturdays ago.

713
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's the best bar in town. We actually

714
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 4: have a T shirt on our Guerrilla Sports website. You

715
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: go to Gorilla sports dot net. It's a purple T

716
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 4: shirt with a silhouette of course field because we don't

717
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: label at Corsefield, you know, licensing issues, and it says

718
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: best Baring, best bar in Denver, or best bar in

719
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: Talent And it's my favorite shirt of all the shirts

720
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: we've made because it's true. On a Saturday night, a

721
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 4: Friday night, Thursday, whatever it is, you can go baseball

722
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: is only two and a half hours an no howur

723
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 4: or less thanks to the pitch. And then that's how

724
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: you start your evening. And it's a great place to

725
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: see a game. You can walk around the whole stadium.

726
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 4: So that's as you know, as misleading as anything else. Like, oh,

727
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: fans are still coming, so as long as it's packed,

728
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 4: you don't need to put.

729
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: A winner on the field. Now, they're not. They're not

730
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: trying to lose. They're just not doing your deub of

731
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: figuring out how to sprive.

732
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 1: They're just not trying to win, right, They're not trying

733
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: to lose. They're just not trying to win. That's the problem.

734
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know how you how you fix

735
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 4: it until you really shake things up. Yeah, they fired

736
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: Bud Black. It wasn't a Bud Black's fault that he

737
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 4: had a triple A team at best, or a bunch

738
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 4: of double A players that aren't ready to be major

739
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: leaders or even four A players, you know. But they're

740
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 4: gonna have to, I think, hire any manager because I

741
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: don't think Aaron Schaffer will keep the job. But they

742
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 4: need a new fun of baseball offs to come in,

743
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 4: someone that's worked other places that has different ideas and

744
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: can just shake things up a bit from the top down,

745
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 4: you know, through every part of the pharm system, and

746
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: try to cultivate the players they have and maybe make

747
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 4: some trades, you know, with some of these young players,

748
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 4: get more young prospects to really grow something.

749
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: Brandon, we appreciate the time as always. Man safe travels

750
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: and certainly safe travels over to London. That'll be cool

751
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: when you get to do that for the Broncos. But

752
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: appreciate the time as always.

753
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: Thanks to see at the game of some day.

754
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I will be there. Yep, all right, we'll be there

755
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: and we will sit there. We can commiserate in the

756
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: press box and solve all the world's problems. How's that?

757
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: That was great, Jake. I appreciate that. I appreciate it.

758
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Gristal, our friend out in Denver with Gorilla Sports.

759
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of assistant to the regional manager,

760
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: there is one guy that was once the assistant to

761
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: the commissioner that now is in charge, and perhaps he

762
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: needs an assistant because he said something yesterday that made

763
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: you go what. I'll let you know what that is

764
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: and why. It is an ongoing pr not nightmare, but

765
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: just makes you shrug your shoulders. We'll elaborate next. Eddie

766
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: mentioned it yesterday. We are some and I'm just going

767
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. Six weeks away from

768
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: the NBA somewhere in.

769
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 3: There preseason starts, I think a month and a month, yeah,

770
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: and I know they're again.

771
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: It's so interesting because with the Pacers, and maybe I'm

772
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: the only one that does this. Maybe I'm the only

773
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: one that when I think about the season, has to

774
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: like then stop and remind myself there's no Tyre's Halliburton

775
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: and there's no Miles Turner, like you know, there's just

776
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: I still am. I'm almost on this high, if you will,

777
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: from the fact that you're like, oh, the finals and like,

778
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: let let's get right back to it, and this is

779
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: awesome and it's been such a obviously it goes without

780
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: saying such a short off season, you know, based on

781
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: what we're used to that you get this turnaround and

782
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: then you stop and you have to temper your expectations

783
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: because you're like, oh, okay, that's right, I forgot Halliburton,

784
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: even though he looks good in his rehab, is not

785
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: going to be on the floor. And turn is now

786
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, and it just changes things a little bit.

787
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: The preseason a home opener a month from today, preseason, right, yeah,

788
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: pre season home opener, yes, so Adam Silver though, when

789
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: it comes to and this is one of the things

790
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: that is.

791
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 3: In exactly six weeks from UH opening opening the Fever

792
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: Fever the Pacers, one of the things that is becoming

793
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 3: more challenging is and I think this is true for everyone,

794
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 3: and I totally understand that if you have always been

795
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: used to or accustomed to, or have known no different

796
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: than you know, streaming options and bundling packages. I mean,

797
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: Eddie we we we one day on the air, were

798
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: trying to figure out I don't remember which one it was.

799
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 3: I was disgusting, but I was mentioning that my cable

800
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: now has gone from you know cable to like a

801
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 3: streaming thing. I mean they literally just came in and said,

802
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: here's your box, here you go, and now all of

803
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 3: a sudden, I've got a thousand channels, which is cool,

804
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: but it's also a little overwhelming because I'm like, I

805
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: don't know where stuff.

806
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: Is half the time. It's awesome, awesome. We were discussing

807
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: whether or not you know ESPN Plus also gets you

808
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: Disney and you know, et cetera, and it became almost

809
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: a who's on first conversation definitely. And I think that

810
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: when you talk about the NBA, and I get it,

811
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: the NBA, the NFL, major League Baseball, all of them,

812
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: major League soccer, every sport is constantly trying to appeal

813
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: to a younger audience for the obvious reasons for long

814
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: term sustainability of your product. I get it. And I

815
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: think even people who have become accustomed to or known

816
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: no different than streaming services and bundling and buying different apps,

817
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: it becomes confusing at times. And let me give you

818
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: an example. I go, now, one of the things that

819
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: I do each week is I lay out for my dad,

820
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: for example, where every game is of the teams that

821
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: he that he likes. Each Sunday, I sit down and

822
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: I go, okay, Dad, here's your weekly television schedule. The

823
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: Cubs are on these days on Wednesday, these games are

824
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: on on Thursday, these games are on Now. The Cubs

825
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: are fairly easy because most of their games are simply marquee.

826
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: But he is also, for example, a huge fan of

827
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: the Fever. That becomes a little more challenging because there

828
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: are a number of different places where they can be found.

829
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: And so I'll say, well, on this you know, this night,

830
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: it's actually on this channel, that it's on this channel,

831
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: then it's on this channel. Adam Silver recently was discussing

832
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: the television viewership of the NBA and when asked about

833
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: the challenge of basically not having it be readily available

834
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: for all teams, but for some teams being on an

835
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: a la carte app or a bundled app and whatever else.

836
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: Here's what Adam Silver had to say.

837
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 5: There's a huge amount of our content that people can

838
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 5: essentially consume for free. I mean this is very much

839
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 5: a highlights based sport. Instagram, TikTok, you know, Twitter, you

840
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 5: name it, any service you know, the New York Times

841
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 5: for that matter, to the extent that your content is

842
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 5: not behind a paid firewall. There's an enormous amount of

843
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 5: content out there YouTube, by another example, that people that

844
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 5: is advertising based, that consumers can consume.

845
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with that comment. If you are the

846
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers, you are the Minnesota Timberwolves, you're the Denver Nuggets,

847
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Part of your partnership with your

848
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: broadcast partners, or that now people are having to pay

849
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,959
Speaker 1: to watch the games, right And you know, I sound

850
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: like her Edwards there. You play to win the game,

851
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: you pay to watch the game, and that's fine, and

852
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: I get it. And the Pacers last year had to

853
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: kind of run where you know, this city fell in

854
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: love with them and people are like, man, I can't

855
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 1: wait to watch Pacer games. And it brought people together.

856
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: But what you have right there is the commissioner of

857
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: the NBA saying something that everything is about business partnerships,

858
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: everything is about sponsorships. And right there, I think he

859
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: might have misspoke and he might have some splaining to do,

860
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: and I will explain exactly that when we come back,

861
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: and again coming up on the program still Rob Blackman,

862
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: about thirty five minutes from now, Seth Morales talking Rose

863
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: Bowl two thousand and the reunion for that team coming

864
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: up this Saturday at Ross aid. That's going to be

865
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: at two o'clock, Matt Taylor at two thirty as well

866
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: here on the fan back in the Colts Broncos here

867
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: in just a second couple of minutes actually, because there

868
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: are a couple of other stories that really had caught

869
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: my ear and eye, and I want to get back

870
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: into this Adam Silver explanation. So he was doing a

871
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: press conference after the annual NBA meeting of the Board

872
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: of Governors. I don't know if Mike Brown was there

873
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: or not, but the the discussion. There are a lot

874
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: of things going on right now in the NBA. One

875
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: of them is the questionable nature and I'm using air

876
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: quotes there of Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers and whether

877
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: or not there wasn't you know, kind of under the

878
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: table things that took place in terms of salary cap

879
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: and getting underneath the salary cap and getting too creative

880
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: with independent people or businesses paying Kawhi Leonard. Those are

881
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: things the NBA is going to take a long, hard

882
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: look at. But one of the questions that he was

883
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: asked was that question about the cost and the increased

884
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: cost of watching the NBA. And the best way to

885
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: say it or explain it, I guess would be this.

886
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: You know, I work, for example, in the world world

887
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: of IndyCar and in IndyCar, NASCAR, whatever it may be.

888
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: Partnerships and sponsorships are so incredibly important. You are grateful

889
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: for any company that comes along to sponsor a race

890
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: team or the broadcast team or whatever it may be,

891
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: and you are constantly aware of making sure that you

892
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: are doing what is best for your partners and your

893
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: sponsors and appeasing. And when I say appeasing, I don't

894
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: mean like disingenuously, I mean naturally making sure that you

895
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: are tying in the product name or the sponsorship name,

896
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And the same is true

897
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: for broadcast partners. Obviously, in the case of IndyCar now,

898
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: Fox Television, which is the television broadcast partner, has an

899
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: ownership stake within the league itself. But for the NBA

900
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: or the NFL, which are eight hundred pound gorillas in

901
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 1: comparison to a more niche sport like auto racing or

902
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: like you know, for that matter, still soccer, at least

903
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: in the American side of things. You know, the NBA,

904
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL and the NFL specifically, but the NBA

905
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: has the big time networks that are paying big time dollars,

906
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in order to broadcast their games. Eddie

907
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: just played the NBA on NBC theme because of the

908
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: fact that NBC is now back in the game. And

909
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: I think actually, as a Pacer fan, you know, so

910
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: much of the great Pacer teams and memories that people

911
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: in this town have happened during the mid nineties when

912
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: NBC was the broadcast, the primary broadcast partner for games.

913
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: So when you hear that music, you automatically associate it.

914
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: But we live in a different world now, and that

915
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: different world means that all sports properties are broadcast through

916
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: different avenues. You have the streaming aspect of Amazon Prime

917
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: that shows NBA games, you have the streaming aspect of

918
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: NBC's Peacock which airs games. You have Disney Plus, which

919
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: is partnered with ESPN. So if you are a fan

920
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: of a particular team in this case, in this market,

921
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers, yes they are on and I always

922
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,439
Speaker 1: forget now I believe it's Fandual Network, right, fan Dual

923
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: Sports Network. So if you have your regular cable carries

924
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: Fandual Sports Network, you're okay. But there are certain and

925
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know which ones because it does not apply

926
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: to my particular cable provider. My cable provider I get

927
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: with the package the Fan Dual Sports Network, but there

928
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: are some that whatever cable provider they have, or if

929
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: they've cut the cord and they now use streaming services

930
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: they are, you know, having to pay additional for fan duel.

931
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: Then let's say that it's one of the games that

932
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: Christen Arii and Quinn Buckner are not working, which happens

933
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: from time to time because they are going to be

934
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: on one of the nationally televised games. If they go

935
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 1: onto a nationally televised game and it's on Amazon Prime,

936
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: now you've got to subscribe to Amazon Prime in order

937
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: to get that game. Or Peacock. It's going to be

938
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: a Peacock game, you got to subscribe to Peacock to

939
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: get that game.

940
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if the NBA JC is like the NFL,

941
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 3: where all their games have to be on in a

942
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 3: local market. So I don't know if they're going to

943
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 3: be on like WTCHI for example, if they're on Amazon

944
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 3: Prime or something like that.

945
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: So provided for free, right, Yeah, But the point being,

946
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: it is the role and responsibility of any business partnership

947
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that you are consistently advocating for your

948
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: sponsors and partners. And when you have the Commissioner of

949
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: the NBA being asked about whether or not it is

950
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: becoming too cost preventative for people to follow their favorite team,

951
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: because of having to buy all of the different apps

952
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: and subscriptions. It is in the best interest of Adam

953
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: Silver to say, well, I understand that concern. We're gonna

954
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: do this like we did yesterday with my coach speak.

955
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to be Adam Silver. Now I do a

956
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: fabulous David Stern.

957
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 3: Do we need the elixir?

958
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: Jake?

959
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because I'm gonna be Adam Silver correctly

960
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: on what he should say. Okay, Now, Eddie, I would

961
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: like for you to ask me, because I do a

962
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: fabulous David Stern, the predecessor to Adam Silver. Give me

963
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: any player of the NBA that would have been drafted

964
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: in David Stern's era. Okay, give me any player that

965
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: David Stern would have announced as a draft pick. Jordan Okay,

966
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: and I always forget Jordan was the third Was he

967
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: the third or the fourth pick? You had Elijahwan, you

968
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: had Bowie, and then you had Jordan. Right, So he

969
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: was the third pick. With the third pick in the

970
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls select Michael

971
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: Jordan from the University of North Carolina. That's my David Stern.

972
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: Now here's what Adam Silver should have.

973
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 3: Said, wait, wait, wait, check out Isaiah Thomas.

974
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: With the second pick in the nineteen eighty one NBA draft,

975
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons select Isaiah Thomas from the University of Indiana.

976
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: And before anybody sends me the tax and critiques me,

977
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: that's how he always said it. I have no idea

978
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: why he said Indiana University. It drove me crazy. What

979
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: Adam Silver should have said is this. Eddie asked me

980
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: the question, please, if I'm Adam Silver, about the increased

981
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: cost of viewership for an NBA fan.

982
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 3: Are you concerned, earned Adam Silver, about the viewership numbers

983
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 3: going down this year because of the cost of being

984
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 3: able to watch you know, your local team.

985
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: I understand the question, and I appreciate the question, and

986
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: it's certainly a conversation we've had with our partners, and

987
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: we're very excited with our partnerships at Amazon as well

988
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: as NBC and the streaming service at Peacock, and of

989
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: course we know about ESPN and Disney Plus and the

990
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: services they provide. All of them provide fabulous content and

991
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: they provide great content, and we are encouraged and we

992
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: are optimistic that our fans will understand the value in

993
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: those memberships and being able to not only watch our

994
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: games on those but then on the nights when their

995
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: favorite team is not playing, being able to take advantage

996
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: of the other programming involved. So I certainly understand from

997
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: a fans standpoint that it's a new era and it's

998
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: a different era. But I think that they will find

999
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: that when you really weigh it all out, that it

1000
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: all becomes worth the investment that you make in those

1001
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: properties because you're getting content above and beyond the NBA,

1002
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: and we're very excited about what we provide. Thank you,

1003
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: next question, Nice job. But when he comes out in says.

1004
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 3: Look, who's your favorite dog and Pony show?

1005
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: When when when Adam Silver comes out though and says, listen,

1006
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: we are a highlight league. We're a highlight league, and yeah,

1007
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: we could do this elixir for him if you want,

1008
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: if you'd like the elixir of course being and this

1009
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: is a subscription fee that we pay, right the elixir takes.

1010
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: What the elixir does is it takes comments from a

1011
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: coach or in this case, a commissioner, and it runs

1012
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: it through a format and this we paid good money

1013
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: for this, and then it spits out what they were

1014
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: really saying. Okay. And this is again we don't do

1015
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: this often, but we've had good success with it and

1016
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: the elixir and and they just called me the other

1017
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: day actually to ask if I would you know if

1018
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: we're pleased with it? And I said I am.

1019
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 3: They did or I forget oh, I forget our cfo's name.

1020
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 3: I forget her name, Jake.

1021
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: That's right, Carol, one of our twenty six female listeners,

1022
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven, get it right, twenty seven? Okay, so would

1023
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: you like to run through the elixir. I'm having problems

1024
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: with the elixir right now getting fired up though. You've

1025
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: waited too long to use it, so it's got to reboot.

1026
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: You probably need a software upgrade. The way that we

1027
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: do this though, we play the clip and then we

1028
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: run the translation. Right, that is correct?

1029
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 3: Well, we got to run in through the elixir before

1030
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: we can play the translation. The elixir is acting up

1031
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 3: right now, Eddie. Oh, I apologize for what if you

1032
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 3: waste all this money, of the company money on this

1033
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: ELIXA and it doesn't work?

1034
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I've got to check, and I think maybe

1035
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: I didn't pay the the app subscription. Okay, but either way,

1036
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: when Adam Silver says, this is a highlight league and

1037
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: you can watch the highlights on TikTok, or you can

1038
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: watch the highlights for free in any number of different places.

1039
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: That is true, and there is an element of truth

1040
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: to that. But where where Adam Silver aired? Is this

1041
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: the stereotype of the NBA to the people that are detractors.

1042
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: When you say we are a highlight league and you

1043
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: can watch highlights on TikTok, you are speaking to an

1044
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: audience that is already aware of that fact. When you

1045
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: are saying to people that would normally not think of

1046
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: it is a highlight league on TikTok, what you're saying

1047
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: to them is we understand that you, mister or missus

1048
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: basketball fan talk about the fact that you no longer

1049
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: watch the NBA because it's no longer basketball. You want

1050
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: to see screens, you want to see defense, you want

1051
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: to see good passing, you want to see solid shooting.

1052
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: And while I, personally Jake Querry believe those things exist

1053
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: in the NBA, it is a stereotype right now and

1054
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: a stigma against the NBA that as a league they

1055
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: have to overcome. And that is the narrative that it

1056
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: is a league that is nothing but dunks and individualized highlights,

1057
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: and it does not feature the basketball that people have

1058
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 1: become accustomed to seeing as a team. And when you

1059
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: come out and say, look, you don't have to watch

1060
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: our whole game, I mean you don't need to log

1061
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: on to Prime to see the game. Just go on

1062
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 1: TikTok and you can see it in forty five seconds.

1063
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: Because you're going to see an unbelievable Haliburton three, You're

1064
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: going to see a quick Nie Smith three, and you're

1065
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: going to see one unbelievable dunk from Obi tap and

1066
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: on TikTok and.

1067
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 3: You'll see it pretty much instantaneously.

1068
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 2: Right.

1069
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: But the point being what you are doing in saying

1070
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: that is you are subliminally and subconsciously endorsing the narrative

1071
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: that your product is no longer about team play but

1072
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: rather about a handful of exciting plays by individuals per contest,

1073
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: which I don't think is true. I really like the NBA.

1074
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: I like it because I watch and see incredible athleticism,

1075
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: unbelievable hand eye coordination, unbelievable quickness of movement. I see

1076
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: all of those things. But you have to watch the

1077
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: totality of game a lot of times to see and

1078
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: understand that and watch play. And I'm not trying to

1079
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: sound like some soccer fan. You know, you have to

1080
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: watch the play development and then when you do you

1081
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: can watch well that's u lists Mentley as well. But

1082
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: but the point being he speaks to the narrative that

1083
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: is the critique of his sport. Now, another thing I

1084
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: just mentioned that I find interesting.

1085
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 3: You should have gone with your English accent there.

1086
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, tell you, yes.

1087
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: You know?

1088
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 3: Uh, Jake, Next Friday, I better call off. Oh does

1089
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 3: it talk like a pirate day?

1090
00:57:59,080 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

1091
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: Listen, we do huge numbers on the day and kids

1092
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: love it. I mean kids love when I and again, Eddie,

1093
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll ask the question which I'll ask you next Friday. You,

1094
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: of course know the pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet? Right,

1095
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer because if I say one,

1096
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the other. If I say one, it's

1097
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: gonna be thegether. No, no, no, naturally speaking, what is

1098
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet? Z?

1099
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: No?

1100
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 3: Exactly?

1101
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So but I mentioned and this is a confluence

1102
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: that I find fascinating. When I mentioned the pacers and

1103
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: where you can watch pacer games. What's the name of

1104
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: that network? Angel Sports Network? Okay, And when you talk

1105
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: about I'm trying to think of like in the NFL oftentimes,

1106
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: and I think some of the networks do this now,

1107
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: the like pregame, they will do a rundown of who

1108
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: is in or out or what good matchups are, and

1109
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: oftentimes those are sponsored by another kind of a rival

1110
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: of FanDuel, which one am.

1111
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 3: I talking about DraftKings. Well, if you watch Sunday Night Football,

1112
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 3: Jake Matthew Berry goes on there and gives you his

1113
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 3: best parlay, and other guys give you their best bets

1114
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: for that game. If you watch Monday night Football, you've

1115
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 3: got each analyst giving a bet through ESPN Bet.

1116
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: And listen. I understand, and I appreciate and I enjoy

1117
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: the responsible nature of all of those apps, and I

1118
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: think the vast majority of people do. It's not unlike

1119
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: alcohol or other things that in moderation can be enjoyed responsibly.

1120
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: But then unfortunately there are those that fall into an

1121
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 1: addiction of it. And it's no different. I mean, there

1122
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: are a million different vices that you can fall into

1123
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: that the slippery slope in terms of the gambling apps,

1124
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: and again I believe. I mean I don't have a

1125
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: problem with them. I don't mean like I don't have

1126
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: an addiction to it. I mean like I don't fundamentally

1127
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. I enjoy placing a wager

1128
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: here and there on FanDuel or DraftKings or Bette Rivers,

1129
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, there are a multitude of these,

1130
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: some have come and gone. But what my fear was

1131
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 1: when this happened. And I'll tell you this story. When

1132
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I was in college, I lived in an apartment complex

1133
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: that had a lot of athletes that lived in the

1134
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: apartment complex. And I have mentioned on numerous occasions some

1135
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: of the guys that I was friends with in college

1136
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: that played Division one athletics at Indiana University. The story

1137
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: I'm about to tell is not any of those guys.

1138
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: It's not. But I was in the parking lot of

1139
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: my apartment building one day when a guy pulled up

1140
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: true story and asked, like, Hey, doesn't so and so

1141
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: live near here? And I'm like, yeah, and no further

1142
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: or no sooner than that than the this player who

1143
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: I've never mentioned on this radio station. So it is

1144
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: not somebody that I mean a good guy from what

1145
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: I knew. Good guy, but not somebody that I've talked

1146
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: about before. So it's not the players that people have

1147
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: heard me mentioned on the radio whatever else. But this

1148
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: individual pulls up because this particular athlete was playing really well,

1149
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: and he pulls up with an envelope of money, and

1150
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: he says, Hey, I want to let you know. I

1151
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: run I run a sports book, and you made me

1152
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money last week, so I want to

1153
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for it. This is a

1154
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: true story. You can put me on a light detector test.

1155
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 3: Is is this the Quorean company? Booky, Mike, this is

1156
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. I actually know this guy's name. I

1157
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 3: didn't know him well, but I but we learned it

1158
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 3: very quickly. Okay, he was not somebody that went to Indiana,

1159
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 3: but he lived in Indiana. So he seeks out this athlete.

1160
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 3: And I'm standing there witnessing this. You can put me

1161
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 3: on a light detector test.

1162
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: And the athlete, which I always was impressed by the athletes,

1163
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: it was like in shock, and then says, I can't

1164
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: accept that. I can't take that money, and the bookie

1165
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: is like no, no, no, like it's free. I mean

1166
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: like you know, you don't owe me anything. I just

1167
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: you made me a lot of money and I wanted

1168
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: to thank you for it, and the athletes like, but

1169
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: then I get into a tangled web that has weaved

1170
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: if I take that money. And I sat there with

1171
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: my own two eyes and observed this, and this athlete

1172
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: turned him down and was almost uncomfortable with it, and

1173
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: that was kind of the end of Now, this was

1174
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: thirty years.

1175
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 3: Ago, and the light detector determined you're telling the truth.

1176
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: That's right, This was thirty years ago. My point being

1177
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: considering that took place thirty years ago, and it was

1178
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: somebody who wasn't even from Bloomington but from Indiana that

1179
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: drove to Bloomington to find set athlete to you know,

1180
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: grease the wheel a little bit. I can only imagine

1181
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: the number of times that took place or was accepted

1182
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: that I didn't even witness or that I was unaware of. So,

1183
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: now that you have the accessibility on college campuses of

1184
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: the sports gambling app, you knew it was going to

1185
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: be a matter of time before you started seeing players

1186
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: that are in I mean, we've seen it at the

1187
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: professional level, let alone in the the still navigating your

1188
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: way into early adulthood, had decision making era of college athletes.

1189
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, we now have an increased number of stories

1190
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: and the latest being Fresno State. I believe I saw

1191
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: Arizona State today as well in San Jose, San Jose State.

1192
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: So there is now investigation and a banning of athletes

1193
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: because they're figuring out these athletes are making wager on

1194
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: gambling apps. And I understand if you are the student athlete,

1195
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: why you would have difficulty understanding and grasping and coming

1196
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: to grips with and even accepting the negative nature of

1197
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: the action of that when everywhere you turn the apps

1198
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: are in bed with different franchises and.

1199
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 3: It's just so easy.

1200
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Correct the accessibility, right, I'm not condoning you don't have

1201
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: to walk into a casino for the app, but I

1202
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: understand I'm not excuse me, I'm not condemning. Excuse me,

1203
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm not condemning people for using the app, and I'm

1204
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: not condoning the players using the app. I'm simply or

1205
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: whichever it may be, I'm just simply saying there is

1206
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: a gray area that has been created that I understand

1207
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: why it would make it difficult for a young person

1208
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: in particular to discern the potential hazard in what it

1209
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: is they're doing now. I do know that they go

1210
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: through obviously a number of and I'm sure they have

1211
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: different groups that speak to them and organizations that come

1212
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: in and the NCAA and all of those things. But

1213
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: it is my concern that this is just the beginning.

1214
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: If you've already seen it at the professional level, and

1215
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: who would have more to lose than somebody with an

1216
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: NFL salary or an NBA salary or a Major League

1217
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Baseball salary. In this case, yes, we are in the

1218
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: nil era, but I guarantee you there are a lot

1219
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: of players at smaller schools that are thinking to themselves,

1220
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: nobody's going to notice if I'm doing this. Yeah, I

1221
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: get it, Like they're going to be looking at this

1222
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: school that's ranked in the top five, this school that's

1223
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: ranked in a big bowl game, this school, but my school.

1224
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Thing notice And I my worry is that what we

1225
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,919
Speaker 1: are hearing right now is the first of what will

1226
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: be an ongoing series of stories about this for some time.

1227
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is, but it is

1228
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: something of concern to me. Purdueing UFC coming up this weekend,

1229

01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: next guest a happy belated birthday. His birthday would have

1236
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: been one week ago yesterday. That would be last Wednesday.

1237
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: I know this because he is my September third brethren.

1238
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 1: He is also the pre and post game halftime host

1239
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: for Purdue football and the voice of produced basketball program

1240
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: as well. Rob Blackman joining us on the show, Hi, Rob,

1241
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: how are you yes?

1242
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 2: Sir?

1243
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 6: Ja cope you had a good September the third. That

1244
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 6: was my fifty fifth birthday. So the big double nickel

1245
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 6: for me?

1246
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 7: Brother?

1247
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Somebody told me the double nickels a big one. Did

1248
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: you do anything different than you did on the fifty fourth?

1249
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 6: I did not. I actually didn't know fifty five was

1250
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 6: supposed to be a big one, So I guess I

1251
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 6: blew it there. I don't know.

1252
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'm kind of with you. I mean, I was

1253
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: fifty three so it's just, you know, you kind of

1254
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: you're in a holding pattern between like fifty and sixty.

1255
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: I guess when people care, you know what I mean.

1256
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 2: That's how I look at it, exactly. That's exactly.

1257
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get to this speaking of things that you know,

1258
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,479
Speaker 1: you look at and you have to double take before

1259
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: it becomes reality, like for example, being fifty five or

1260
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: fifty three. But you know, I was in the Rose Bowl,

1261
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: the venue, the Rose bul this past weekend, and Rob,

1262
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I mean, it's a great venue, it's

1263
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: a beautiful facility, it's historic, all of those things, and

1264
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: it just was It's super weird for me still to

1265
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: look up and see a big ten logo, you know,

1266
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh gosh, that's right, it's so weird.

1267
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: And USC coming into rass aid being a Big ten matchup,

1268
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: that alone is surreal. But the other thing too, is

1269
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that USC is coming in not as a top five team,

1270
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: which I think a lot of people would have expected.

1271
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 1: What challenge do you think Purdue is looking towards at USC?

1272
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Have you gotten an idea or a feel for what

1273
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: Purdue thinks or Barry Odin thinks is the way to

1274
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: hang with the Trojans.

1275
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 6: I don't know so much that he's tipped his hand

1276
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 6: in that regard. I do know from especially listening to

1277
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 6: him speak here a couple of times this week leading

1278
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 6: up to the game. I do know the fact that

1279
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 6: there's a great amount of familiarity with their starting quarterback

1280
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,879
Speaker 6: because it's someone who played for coach Odam at UNLD

1281
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 6: two years ago.

1282
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 7: That is very.

1283
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 6: Concerning because obviously there's not going to be a better

1284
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 6: scattering report on the starting QB than a guy that's

1285
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 6: old played for you, and they're really I mean, look,

1286
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 6: his numbers are outstanding. I think he's leading the Big

1287
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 6: ten and yards passing like already seven hundred yards through

1288
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 6: two games, and I think he leads the Big ten

1289
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 6: and touchdowns already six I think it is five or six.

1290
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 6: So the numbers speak for themselves. But then again, you

1291
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 6: have a head coach is very, very familiar with the

1292
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 6: guy because, as I said, he coached UNLB and helped

1293
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 6: them win nine games. So that's where the number one

1294
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 6: concern is, now, what is it going to take to

1295
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 6: beat USC that. I'm not so certain. You know, Purdue

1296
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 6: is look two and O's better than O and two.

1297
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 6: I understand that, but it's not like the competition has

1298
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,679
Speaker 6: been overly difficult to go through these first two weeks.

1299
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 6: So it's going to be a major step up in competition, There's.

1300
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 2: No doubt about that.

1301
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 6: And yeah, we shall see. I don't I'm not sure

1302
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,600
Speaker 6: what to expect it, but on this one, it's the

1303
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 6: US season. A similar boat has Purdue. Their first two

1304
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 6: opponents weren't necessarily world beaters, so I'm not so certain, Jake.

1305
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 6: Maybe both of these teams aren't kind of still maybe

1306
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 6: uncertain what exactly they'll have, but I think they'll have

1307
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 6: a pretty better understand, pretty much much better understanding of

1308
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 6: that about you know, seven thirty or so Saturday night.

1309
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 1: You know the thing, Rob, that's interesting, Rob Blackman, our guest.

1310
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: When you look at Purdue, you know, even Perdue themselves

1311
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,799
Speaker 1: probably didn't know largely who and what they were because

1312
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, they so much turnover in a new coach

1313
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and et cetera. Through two games, and I realized two

1314
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: games not a season make. And you're to your point,

1315
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: the competition you know, not necessarily yet at Big ten level.

1316
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,839
Speaker 1: But what has jumped out at you about this Purdue

1317
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,719
Speaker 1: team that you have said to yourself, Okay, that's something

1318
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: that I can kind of see is going to be

1319
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: the pattern of who they're going to be if they

1320
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: want to win games this year.

1321
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, well two things and again two games does the

1322
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 6: pattern does not make But I love the fact that

1323
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 6: Purdue has only committed five penalties through the first two games,

1324
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 6: five accepted penalties, and none of those penalties have been

1325
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 6: pre snap penalties. That to me is a direct reflection

1326
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,919
Speaker 6: of coaching and the discipline that's been filled within the progress.

1327
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 1: And that was kind of the calling card for Utimate UNLV,

1328
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: was it not. I mean, just discipline, not shoot yourself

1329
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: in the foot football right right.

1330
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 6: Right, don't beat yourself. And the same on the turnovers.

1331
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,799
Speaker 6: Produce only had one turnover that was an interception last weekend.

1332
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 6: And Produce only had one fumble through the first two games,

1333
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 6: and luckily that ball rolled out of bounds and it

1334
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 6: wasn't recovered by the other team. So Purdue again, to me,

1335
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 6: in all the years I've been doing this, I'd like

1336
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 6: to think that a direct reflection of the coaching when

1337
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,520
Speaker 6: it comes to football typically comes in the manner of penalties,

1338
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 6: especially pre snap penalties and turnovers. Because those are both

1339
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 6: just concentration things. Right, You're either concentrating or you're not.

1340
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 6: And I'll tell you Produe has been you know, damn

1341
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 6: near perfect and on those two categories through the first

1342
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 6: two games. Again, once the level of competition steps up,

1343
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 6: we shall see if Purdue can continue to have success

1344
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 6: in winning games. But I would think if you can

1345
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 6: continue that trend of minimal penalties, rarely turning the ball over,

1346
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 6: at least you're going to give yourself a chance, which,

1347
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 6: of course last year was was not something for Due

1348
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 6: was ever in a situation to do quite frankly. So

1349
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 6: those are the two things that really jumped out to me.

1350
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's rob it's so interesting because I've made

1351
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: the joke. Probably at this point I need to expire

1352
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the joke, but that Purdue still practices with name tags

1353
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: on because they're you know, they are just so many

1354
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: new faces. And that probably is true even for the

1355
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff. For you, as you know, just a broadcaster

1356
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 1: in general, when you look at this team, give our

1357
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: listeners the name of and I don't mean quarterback, the

1358
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: name of a player or two that has jumped out

1359
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: at you where you've said, you know what, I think

1360
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,799
Speaker 1: Boiler fans are going to enjoy watching this guy play.

1361
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, so two of them, they both play the same position.

1362
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 6: Michael Jackson the third, which of course is a great

1363
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 6: name to use to have, I should say football and

1364
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 6: Nitro Tuggle again, another pretty cool name. When your first

1365
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 6: name is Nitro, that's kind of cool. But those two

1366
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 6: guys in training camp bleeding after week one, seemed like

1367
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 6: those two guys were making all the plays as wide receivers.

1368
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 6: And I know almad Branch has has been the go

1369
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 6: to guy early in the season, which has been great

1370
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 6: to see. But those are the two guys that I

1371
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 6: did not see coming. Now maybe I should have. I

1372
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 6: mean Michael Jackson, you know, speaking of USC familiarity, he

1373
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 6: played three years at USC, was at let's say, I

1374
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 6: think he was at Auburn last year maybe Georgia. I

1375
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 6: think it was anyway, but yeah, those are I think

1376
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 6: it was Georgia. Yeah, yeah, Georgia. You go in the

1377
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 6: training camp and you're like, okay, I mean we had

1378
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 6: an eighty two new guys. Man, I mean, I'm and

1379
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 6: I like an idiot. I made the mistake of trying

1380
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 6: to learn the roster during the spring, which is a

1381
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 6: really bad idea. I'll never do it again, because twenty

1382
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 6: five of those guys left after the spring game, So

1383
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 6: why did I even bother but a couple of new

1384
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 6: guys in Jackson and Tuggle, you know, they come rolling

1385
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 6: through and you're like, hey, you know, these guys have

1386
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 6: been pretty impressive in practice. I wonder if they can

1387
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 6: carry it over to the games. Well they have to

1388
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 6: this point. So those have been the two guys that

1389
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 6: have really gotten my attention. Hopefully there are more to

1390
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 6: come down the road, but those those two right there,

1391
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 6: certainly they grab my attention early and often in training camp,

1392
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 6: and again luckily they've continued to play at a high level,

1393
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 6: at least do the first two games.

1394
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And then Rob in terms of Bury otom you know,

1395
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I think we know. I mean, you might have been

1396
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: the one that I was talking to about this that,

1397
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of his mantra, and you correct

1398
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, if I got the verbiage wrong here.

1399
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 1: But it's basically like what like smart discipline, you know, hard, nos.

1400
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 6: Smart, hard, smart, tough, Yeah, okay, and.

1401
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: That's what he wants to see from his players. And

1402
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: I think so far, you would say, so far, so good. Right,

1403
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: But in terms of he himself and just his overall

1404
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: vibe and personality, what sort of coach does he seem

1405
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: to be to you?

1406
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 6: Well, he's certainly one that is not afraid to what

1407
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,879
Speaker 6: would be the right phrase here, uh, to make himself

1408
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 6: a man of the people. He has been And look,

1409
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 6: I get it, when you're the first year head coach,

1410
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 6: a lot of obligations outside of coaching the team come

1411
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 6: with it. But that I mean that guy. He was

1412
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 6: at the freshman orientation they call it Boiler gold Rush

1413
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 6: when the freshmen are on campus. He had a speaking

1414
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 6: engagement there. He's gone and spoken to the marching band, uh,

1415
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 6: talking to them about how important they are to the

1416
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 6: success of Purdue.

1417
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

1418
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 6: He's gone out and met the students, the fans that

1419
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,799
Speaker 6: are in line waiting for tickets.

1420
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 7: Uh.

1421
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 6: He's gone out and taking pictures with them, shaking their hands,

1422
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 6: thank them for coming. He's doing all those those pr

1423
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,959
Speaker 6: things that go a long way in and then during yourself,

1424
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 6: not only to the to the fan base, but certainly

1425
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 6: the student fan base, which is all which is such

1426
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 6: a very important part of it. And I'll share share

1427
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 6: with you here, Jake, that I haven't shared with many.

1428
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 6: You know, myself and Joey Mullen Arrow are doing a

1429
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 6: podcast now for Purdue Athletics, and our very first guest

1430
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 6: on our first podcast a couple of weeks ago was

1431
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 6: coach Otum. Obviously, why not have the head football coach

1432
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 6: on as your first guess? When that thing was over,

1433
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 6: it hadn't been fifteen minutes. He had already sent me

1434
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 6: a text thanking me for having him on the podcast

1435
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 6: and look forward to doing, you know, things like this

1436
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 6: down the road now. Number one, how he got my

1437
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 6: phone number, I'm not sure. And number two the fact

1438
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 6: that he went out of his way to send me

1439
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 6: a text. I've never had that happen with any of

1440
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 6: our football coaches, and I've been this my twenty second

1441
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 6: year on the broadcast team. So just those little things. Again,

1442
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 6: from a pr standpoint, he is certainly he is winning

1443
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 6: that battle, easily winning that battle, and it doesn't hurt,

1444
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 6: obviously when you're two and zero. But he does seem

1445
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 6: to be a guy that's not afraid to put himself

1446
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 6: out there and again be the face of the franchise.

1447
01:16:56,320 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 6: And maybe that's the right phrase. He's not actual about

1448
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 6: doing that, and for now, it's certainly working.

1449
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Okay. Lastly, Rob, basketball season will be here before we

1450
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,839
Speaker 1: know it. You will be on the mic for Perdue

1451
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 1: Basketball and Matt Painters group. Looks like it's been a

1452
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:16,520
Speaker 1: really good off season for Purdue and that their ability

1453
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: and this is what I love about it. And I

1454
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: wanted you to just kind of expand on this, and

1455
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say anything that people don't already know,

1456
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: but Rob, you see it up close and personal. You

1457
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: see the practices, you see kind of the you know,

1458
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: how the sausage is made with Perdue Basketball. I love

1459
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: the fact that Matt Painter has a way he wants

1460
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: to do things and he recruits players based on those

1461
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: that want to do it that way, not contouring and

1462
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: not changing things based on the number of stars that

1463
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: a kid has, but rather the number of stars that

1464
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: he can make out of them. And that's what I love.

1465
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: And it looks like he is continuing that trend and

1466
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: the way he is sustaining the program and getting guys

1467
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 1: to continue to buy in. Can you expand on what

1468
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: you see that makes that statement valid?

1469
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 6: Well, yes, and let me just all steal Matt Painter's statement.

1470
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 6: Speaking of statements, he uses this one all the time,

1471
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 6: and to me, it perfectly encapsulates what you're talking about.

1472
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 6: And the phrase is you become us, we do not

1473
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 6: become you. And that's how they go about recruiting, and

1474
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 6: they make sure you understand as a potential player, student

1475
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 6: athlete that Purdue that it doesn't really matter how many

1476
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 6: stars you have besides your name.

1477
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: If you're a great.

1478
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 6: High school player or stand out on the AAU circuit,

1479
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 6: that's great, but we are not going to cater to

1480
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 6: your needs, your whims, nor you're playing time or how

1481
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 6: many shots you need to get in the game. Again,

1482
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 6: you become us, we do not become you. Now, if

1483
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,679
Speaker 6: you choose to become part of the program, the chances

1484
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 6: are probably going to win a whole bunch of games.

1485
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 6: And indeed, if you are good enough, trust me, you

1486
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 6: will you'll end up playing professional basketball. We've seen it

1487
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 6: with the guys that have now come through Purdue and

1488
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 6: especially in the last five to seven years. So it's

1489
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 6: really it's really that easy, Jake, the old you become us,

1490
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 6: we do not become you mantra.

1491
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 2: In the game of recruiting.

1492
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 6: Now, I understand it's a little bit easier when your

1493
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 6: guy Matt Painter's age. Speaking of fifty five, he's fifty five.

1494
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 6: He's been added a while, he's had a lot of success.

1495
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 6: You can be a little bit more brazen in your

1496
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 6: approach and recruiting when you've had the success he has had.

1497
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 6: But obviously it's working, and I don't see that philosophy

1498
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 6: changing anytime soon, like ever. Actually so, and that's that's

1499
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 6: true with the guys you know, Purdue picked up in

1500
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 6: the portal this year. That's true with Omer Meyer, the

1501
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 6: freshman from from Tel Aviv. They all understand the deal.

1502
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: And that keep perduly right. I know that we don't know,

1503
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't seen it in Big ten level yet.

1504
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: But Meyer looks like a kid that can play.

1505
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 6: He can play obviously, where he'll struggle whereas most freshman

1506
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 6: do early in the Big Ten season with the physicality

1507
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 6: of the league, and that's something he's going to have

1508
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 6: to learn to adapt to. Luckily, we have a couple

1509
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 6: of guys on our team already that that have done

1510
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 6: their best to try to, you know, welcome him to

1511
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 6: the world of college basketball with the way they've been

1512
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 6: going at him in practice every day.

1513
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 2: But yes, that's it.

1514
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 6: Man we bring in guys, brings in guys that as

1515
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 6: long as they want to play for the name. Nettl

1516
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 6: is saying, are you playing for the name that's on

1517
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 6: the front of the chest or on the back of

1518
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 6: the jersey? For due tries very hard to make sure

1519
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 6: those are the guys that they're getting, the ones that

1520
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 6: want to play for the name that's across the front

1521
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 6: of the chest.

1522
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: I know this much. Rob Blackman is not a guy

1523
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: that in college as a freshman kind of struggled from

1524
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: the get go. My understanding is, to borrow another theme

1525
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,759
Speaker 1: from this conversation, he was a man of the people

1526
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: in Evansville, Indiana, from the day he arrived on campus.

1527
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that right, Rob?

1528
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 6: Well, let's just say I never missed a party, that's.

1529
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Right, And they had a lot of them in Evansville,

1530
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure right.

1531
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 6: Somehow nice thing about a campus of only two thousand students.

1532
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 6: Whoever is hosting the party is basically hosting the whole campus.

1533
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: The word gets out quickly, right, Yeah.

1534
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 6: Never conflicting parties, because he knew it when that wasn't working.

1535
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 6: So whoever was having the party that night, basically everyone

1536
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 6: was there, including yours truly, that's for certain.

1537
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: Purdueing USC coming up on Saturday. Rob Blackman with the pregame,

01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: the intermission, the post game as well. Rob appreciated as always.

1539
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 6: All right, Jake, thank you man, Happy birthday, brother.

1540
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 1: Thank you too. Rob Blackman joining us on the program.

1541
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of that game, they are going to honor the

1542
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 1: two thousand team and one of the guys that had

1543
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: the biggest play I think of that year, to be

1544
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: honest with you, not named Drew Brees, is going to

1545
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: join us, coming up fifteen minutes from now. Now, I

1546
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: have a question here. I mentioned that earlier today I

1547
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:58,600
Speaker 1: had to do, not had to do, but I had

1548
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 1: an appointment for a stress a cardiac stress test, and

1549
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: one of the doctors that was providing going over the test.

1550
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: I then I just was having a conversation about the

1551
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: results of said test, and I jokingly said to my

1552
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: to Matman, I jokingly said, did the doctor that administered

1553
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: the test comment how cool I am? And he replied

1554
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: with and I'm curious of this. His reply was, yes,

1555
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: he also is a type A personality. Now, Eddie, would

1556
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: you consider me a type A personality? You're here around

1557
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: me on a regular basis. Absolutely, Okay, I don't. I

1558
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: don't agree with that, but let me let me read

1559
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:49,440
Speaker 1: for you. I've let me read for you the definition

1560
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: of type A personality, and I want you to ding

1561
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: or buzz whether you feel that I fall into these

1562
01:22:55,400 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 1: categories okay, okay? The first setting very very high, exacting

1563
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: standards for themselves and often becoming overly critical of their

1564
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: own work. Okay. Secondly, a tendency to juggle multiple tasks

1565
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: at once, believing that it would lead to greater excuse me,

1566
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: okay this one, now, this is a real test. An

1567
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: intense focus on work, sometimes to the point of having

1568
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: an unhealthy relationship with their jobs. Okay, Now this one

1569
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm also very curious about. I need you to answer

1570
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: honestly with a dinger a buzz okay. Can be aggressive, unfriendly,

1571
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: and prone to anger, especially under stress. When am I

1572
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,520
Speaker 1: ever aggressive and unfriendly.

1573
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 3: All the time?

1574
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm as friendly as it gets. I walk down the

1575
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: street and strangers just walk up and have conversation with me, Okay.

1576
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: Impatience and easily irritated, becoming frustrated or angry when facing

1577
01:23:55,160 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: interruptions or delays. I think, now you're just having fun

1578
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: with this?

1579
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 3: Oh really?

1580
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Sense of urgency and time pressure, feeling the need to

1581
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: get things done quickly, disliking delays, and feeling rushed. I

1582
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: don't think that's it. By the way, speaking of which,

1583
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: did you finish that thing I sent you earlier today? Okay?

1584
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: Competitive nature, strong inclination to be the best and to

1585
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: compete with others in various aspects of life. You find

1586
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: me competitive?

1587
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 3: Oh yes, Jake, Yeah, you're competitive all right?

1588
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 7: Really?

1589
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay?

1590
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 1: And then lastly, a relentless desire to succeed in achieve goals,

1591
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,759
Speaker 1: often setting high standards for themselves.

1592
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 3: I got three texts. You're having too much fun with

1593
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 3: that dinger. The ding button is getting to work out.

1594
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing is part of being a Type A personality,

1595
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: not recognizing that your type A personality because I don't

1596
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: consider myself any of those things. I since I think

1597
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm just a laid back dude. Right, you can't be

1598
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: laid back? Yeah, I don't think I've multitasked that much,

1599
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: do I?

1600
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: I mean, what in my life? I'm I multitasking? Well, Jake,

1601
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 3: you're multitasking a lot of things, Okay.

1602
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: I honestly, I always thought of Type A personalities as

1603
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: people that are like no one wants to be around them,

1604
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: And so now I'm like, wait a minute, is this

1605
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: is he telling me no one wants to be around me?

1606
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Is that what this means?

1607
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 2: That?

1608
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 1: Which is? Then I have to If that's the case,

1609
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: then the competitive nature in me wants to come out

1610
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: and give myself a little bit more ambition to make

1611
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 1: sure that there is no more delay in people wanting

1612
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: to be around me because I want it like right

1613
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: now right, I'm want to dive all in and make

1614
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 1: this perfect. And if I've got to do a couple

1615
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: of things to do it at one time, no problem.

1616
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: I tell people who are Type B are are care free,

1617
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: less competitive. This is you, though, social, outgoing. Yeah see,

1618
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm with type B, your type A. Just because you

1619
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: have one trait in the type B, it doesn't make

1620
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,639
Speaker 1: your type B. How about this, I'm type three point five.

1621
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: I gotta three five hours, got some bees, got some aze?

1622
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: Right?

1623
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: You really think I'm competitive?

1624
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 3: Yes? I don't think that you and I have ever

1625
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 3: had an occasion to compete with anything?

1626
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: Have we?

1627
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 7: Uh?

1628
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 3: Well, duh? Fantasy football? J Come on now? Yeah, but

1629
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 3: you cheating that because you're the commissioner. I don't cheat it. Okay,

1630
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 3: I was the last team in the playoffs last year

1631
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 3: and I won. It's not cheating at all. Yeah, but

1632
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 3: you're the commissioner. You were like rigging moves and trades

1633
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 3: and all that. If I remember correctly, I helped you

1634
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 3: out because you dropped Tyreek Hill and you're like, hey,

1635
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to do that. Any other Commissioner're like, no, sorry,

1636
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 3: that's what you did.

1637
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: It's a nice enough guy, but back in. But you

1638
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 1: did understand how it would happen, right.

1639
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 3: Because I know, but the most league managers would not

1640
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 3: be understandable, Jake.

1641
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: Purdue found themselves in a situation where they needed a

1642
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: big time play, and they sat there and said, maybe

1643
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: a quarter of a century from now, we will continue

1644
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: to celebrate this team. And I mean that in a

1645
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: good way, because it would be such a special, remarkable

1646
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 1: season and one that any program would want to enjoy,

1647
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: and Perdue did enjoy it because when they needed it most,

1648
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: they died of a play and one guy delivered. And

1649
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: that guy who is going to be celebrated along with

1650
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,560
Speaker 1: his teammates on Saturday for Purdue USC joins US next.

1651
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 2: Second down and.

1652
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: Ten offensive only continues to do a great time.

1653
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:29,600
Speaker 5: Touchdown came South Crimes Toledo.

1654
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: That's how it sounded as Purdue knocked off Ohio State

1655
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,600
Speaker 1: en route to the two thousand Rose Bowl, where they

1656
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: would face the Washington Huskies. Drew Brees connecting to the

1657
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: pride of Laurence CenTra High School Seth Morales, who joins

1658
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: us now on the program as a number of Boilers

1659
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: will be on hand this Saturday to honor that two

1660
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: thousand Rose Bowl winning team. Seth, how are you?

1661
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 8: I'm great, I'm great. Thanks for having me.

1662
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: How often do you see and or hear that play?

1663
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 2: Oh?

1664
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 8: Man, it's probably weakly. Somebody will send me a text

1665
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 8: or it'll pop up in a Hey, I remember that

1666
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:13,719
Speaker 8: play when I bumped into somebody you know on the street,

1667
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 8: So it's it's definitely out there often.

1668
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: Here is a really weird question. Okay, you have seen

1669
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: that play so many times?

1670
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 2: Yep.

1671
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Are you able to remember what it was

1672
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 1: like in the first person? In other words, can you

1673
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: still see it as it happened to your eyes in

1674
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: the moment or has that been now replaced by the

1675
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: video image of it?

1676
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 8: No, I still remember it clear as day, I mean

1677
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 8: first person, you know, late in the game running that route,

1678
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 8: I mean, everything kind of got really really quiet, and

1679
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 8: it was in the evening time, so it was kind

1680
01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 8: of dark and that ball was up there in the

1681
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 8: air for quite some time. But I just I remember

1682
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 8: thinking to myself, don't drop the ball. Don't drop the ball,

1683
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 8: because I was so wide open. Catch it here that

1684
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 8: you know, the crowd war and you know, it was

1685
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:09,679
Speaker 8: kind of slow in motion in the last like five

1686
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 8: to ten yards. If you see me kind of run

1687
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 8: into the end zone. It was kind of like a release,

1688
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 8: and so I remember it kind of step by step.

1689
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 2: You know.

1690
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne once told me that the hardest passes to

1691
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 1: catch were the ones where you were wide open. Is

1692
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 1: that true?

1693
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1694
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I think the ones were it really matters and

1695
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 8: you're wide open and if you if you drop it,

1696
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 8: you're in infamy. You know, it's just it's infamous if

1697
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 8: you do that.

1698
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1699
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 8: So I think I think that that play, given kind

1700
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 8: of the stakes of you know, whether we've win the

1701
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:45,599
Speaker 8: Big Ten Championship or not beating Ohio State, it had

1702
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 8: that much more kind of impact on it. So yeah,

1703
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 8: it definitely matters. But when you're when you're the only

1704
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 8: guy out there and you're alone, you better not drop

1705
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 8: the ball.

1706
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: And I was fortunate, you know, when you were in

1707
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: a play like that, and Brees obviously is the guy

1708
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,640
Speaker 1: delivering you the ball, right, And we now know just

1709
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and obviously you knew ahead of most people just the

1710
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 1: precision of Drew Brees. It goes without saying. But when

1711
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 1: you're in the huddle and you're calling up that play

1712
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: in the games and the balance and you're I think

1713
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 1: you're on your own thirty six or something like that,

1714
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: So it is the play called where it is like, hey,

1715
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: this is going to you or were you simply one

1716
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,600
Speaker 1: of these say three or four progression reads that he

1717
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 1: had and you didn't know whether you were going to

1718
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:31,840
Speaker 1: be the guy or not. Does that make sense what

1719
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 1: I'm asking it does?

1720
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1721
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 8: When I got when I heard that play call, I

1722
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 8: knew I wasn't an option. It's usually going to option

1723
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 8: one or two and which at the time it was

1724
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 8: Vinnie Sutherland or John Stanford, And uh I was I

1725
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 8: was the fourth usual option on that type of play.

1726
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 8: So if you watch him, you know, you broke the huddle.

1727
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 8: You know, in those situations, a lot of times you're

1728
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,400
Speaker 8: run a two minute and you're gassed, and so a

1729
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 8: lot of guys like if they're on the back side

1730
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 8: of a play, they're not going to run their ass off.

1731
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 8: And so for me, it was like, hey, you know,

1732
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 8: every play, you know, to the best of your ability.

1733
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 8: I think that's why I was on the field. And

1734
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 8: you know, for me, keep sprinting and I had pretty

1735
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 8: good stamina. I think I had already had about six

1736
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 8: catches the game, so I knew I just was going to,

1737
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 8: you know, bust my tail off and try to do

1738
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 8: what I needed to do. But fortunately, Drew was such

1739
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 8: a sound quarterback that he was able to run through

1740
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 8: his progression. You know, Option one and two weren't there,

1741
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 8: and if you watch it, it's just that's the talent

1742
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 8: in him. He was disciplined enough to go to three

1743
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 8: and then four and the safety did on the third

1744
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 8: receiver and I was wide open.

1745
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1746
01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you know, it's it's fascinating, seth,

1747
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 1: and I mean not to you know, there's there's no

1748
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,599
Speaker 1: point in going back now and going roster by roster

1749
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: on who the other quarterbacks were in the Big ten.

1750
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 1: But we'll just use Big ten as the example, you know,

1751
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: how many Big Ten quarterbacks make that play? You know

1752
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 1: how many get to the point. And I don't mean

1753
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: that to knock you, but you were mentioning, you know,

1754
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 1: you're you're read three or four. How many guys even

1755
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,599
Speaker 1: get that deep in their progression to make that play?

1756
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's maybe one or two if you

1757
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,599
Speaker 8: think of the time, like Tom Brady was before that,

1758
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 8: maybe a year before, but maybe you know during the

1759
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 8: Big Ten that season, probably no one. He just had,

1760
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 8: you know, the discipline. He would outwork a lot of

1761
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 8: people in film room and just he kind of he

1762
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 8: knew how to kind of go through that progression. And so,

1763
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 8: I mean, future Hall of Famer quarterback. I was fortunate,

1764
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 8: right time, right place, all Americ quarterback, you know, Hall

1765
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 8: of Fame, you know, NFL Super Bowl winning quarterback in

1766
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 8: the future. And so I was just fortunate to have

1767
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 8: a really accurate STARp.

1768
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:44,640
Speaker 2: Dude, d're on the rock to me.

1769
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 1: Those guys you mentioned by the way, I mean Drew Brees,

1770
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 1: you know obviously John Standerford who was a great player

1771
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: out of Monrovia, of Vinny Sutherland, Tim Stratton, the tight end,

1772
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Stu Schweigert, who was like a walking interception, ag and Adell,

1773
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Travis Dorsch as well. You guys are all among those

1774
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: that will be honored this weekend at ross Aid for

1775
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth anniversary. How excited are you and how

1776
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:08,719
Speaker 1: much do you talk to those guys?

1777
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I just text John Stanford today. We're

1778
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 8: talking often. You know, you kind of stick A lot

1779
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 8: of times you stick with kind of your close, your

1780
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,599
Speaker 8: close knit guys. I was really tight with the receiver group,

1781
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 8: and a lot of those guys are still here in Indianapolis.

1782
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 8: There's a text thread with Vinnie and Stanford and at

1783
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 8: Simpson and Donald Winston. We all kind of stick together

1784
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,600
Speaker 8: from a wide out or a wide receiver standpoint, but

1785
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 8: that crew was really tight. So we all try to

1786
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 8: come back a couple of games the season to connect

1787
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 8: and a lot of guys, you know, a Loafayette is

1788
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 8: the way to kind of the common ground to bring

1789
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 8: everyone back. So, I mean, Purdue doesn't make it to

1790
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 8: the Rose Bowl too often, so you know, we're celebrated

1791
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 8: up there. We're grateful for that, and so it's fun

1792
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,719
Speaker 8: to see those guys. But a lot of the guys

1793
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 8: stay in touch in a meaningful way. Team was really special,

1794
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:03,759
Speaker 8: full of a bunch of leaders and guys that played

1795
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 8: in the league and are doing great things outside of

1796
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:09,920
Speaker 8: you know, outside of football, you know, later in their career,

1797
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 8: with their families and the profession. So it's just really

1798
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 8: fun to kind of look back and see just how

1799
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 8: special of a group that two thousand team was.

1800
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird, Seth, And I'm gonna when I

1801
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,639
Speaker 1: say this, you're probably gonna exhale and be like, dude, really,

1802
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 1: you're having me on to ascess. So, yeah, are you

1803
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,840
Speaker 1: familiar with Mike Prewitt, the great running back? You know,

1804
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: they were the Prewitt brothers, but Mike Prewitt was a

1805
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: really good Purdue back in the mid seventies. Are you

1806
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: familiar with Mike Prewett?

1807
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, definitely familiar.

1808
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: So Mike Prewitt would be to you what you are

1809
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 1: to today's boiler Makers. And when you hear it that way,

1810
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 1: that's when you think it doesn't In other words, to me,

1811
01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 1: it seems like three years ago, right, I mean, it

1812
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,080
Speaker 1: seems like three to five years ago, and it is

1813
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:57,600
Speaker 1: worth celebrating because it has been that long since, and

1814
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: yet you have this group of players now that there

1815
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: are maybe maybe this is what is good for Purdue

1816
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: football currently to see that example that is there for them.

1817
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,719
Speaker 1: I mean, how much do you follow today's Purdue players.

1818
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we we're pretty We're pretty tight. We've

1819
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 8: had guys like Rondell Moore that came through the program,

1820
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 8: had a lot of talent. He was an intern for

1821
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 8: our business at the Morales Group. So I stay pretty

1822
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 8: in touch, you know, whether it's Coach Walters or Coach

1823
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 8: Odom or whoever's the new coach. You know, we try

1824
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 8: to stay in touch and go back and speak to

1825
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,720
Speaker 8: the team. And I think, you know, you know, for me,

1826
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,679
Speaker 8: it was like Bob Greasy and Leroy Keys. Those guys

1827
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 8: are kind of the Puet kind of the late seventies

1828
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 8: yea or late sixties, early seventies. You know, those guys

1829
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 8: were iconic. They were up in the you know, rafters.

1830
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 8: You could see they're all American status. So you know,

1831
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 8: we want to be like them. So but I think

1832
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 8: it's great trying to be intentional about getting back there

1833
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 8: and saying, hey, this is possible. This is like the

1834
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 8: last ranked Big Ten recruiting class, and we ended up

1835
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 8: winning the Big ten championship and going to Rose Bowl.

1836
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 8: So it can be done when a lot of people,

1837
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 8: you know, kind of have you, you know, they're not

1838
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 8: favoring you, or you're kind of that underdog, and so

1839
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I think that's the story of the two

1840
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 8: thousand team is like gritty underdog overachievers that really made headways,

1841
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 8: you know in that season.

1842
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned the Morales Group, which you're the president

1843
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 1: of the Morales Group. Correct, yes, okay, and that is

1844
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 1: I was thinking real estate. But correct me if I'm

1845
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: wrong here in terms of what it is that your

1846
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 1: business does today.

1847
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, the bulk of what we do is we help

1848
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 8: people find jobs. Weren't staffing and recruiting.

1849
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, okay, now all good.

1850
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 8: We've been doing that for twenty two years now. My

1851
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 8: dad started it and I jumped into the business right

1852
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:49,719
Speaker 8: out of college. So it's been fun growing this thing

1853
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 8: and using it for good. And yeah, so I've been

1854
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 8: doing that for the last twenty two years.

1855
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:59,439
Speaker 1: Well, the reason I ask I'm curious of this, you know,

1856
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: I think that we think Seth Morales is our guest

1857
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 1: from that two thousand per new team that's going to

1858
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 1: be honored this weekend. At ross Aid with the Boilers

1859
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:11,760
Speaker 1: in USC, with college athletics in general. Seth. We think

1860
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 1: that every player on the field that we're watching, that

1861
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: the barometer in the ceiling is the NFL, and that

1862
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: college success is defined by whether or not a guy

1863
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 1: goes on and plays in the NFL. And yet there

1864
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 1: is so much that can be learned from just the

1865
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 1: team aspect of it. What things did you learn from

1866
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: Joe Tiller or from working with other guys on the

1867
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: roster that you carry with you today.

1868
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean with Joe Tiller, it was all about

1869
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 8: just hard nos in mindset. He was a psychologist, and

1870
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 8: he pushed you to get really uncomfortable. With Drew Brees,

1871
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 8: it was put in the extra work when you were

1872
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 8: heading home to the dorms, he was putting in a

1873
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 8: couple extra hours from like ten pm on to do

1874
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 8: extra film. And so seeing guys like that excellent at

1875
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 8: their at their craft, it was kind of like it

1876
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 8: was masterclass if you were taking notes. And so you

1877
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 8: see guys like Matt Light who is just kind of

1878
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 8: the joy of the locker room and jokester but like

1879
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 8: very philanthropic, and seeing just how he's posts, you know,

1880
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 8: new England Patriots super Bowl winning team, you know, seeing

1881
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 8: how he's kind of carrying himself, and so it's been

1882
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 8: fun to like learn from those guys. Cut it up,

1883
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:32,519
Speaker 8: but it was I think for me it was like,

1884
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 8: you know, Coach Cheney, who was our offensive coordinator, he

1885
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 8: was a mastermind from from an offensive standpoint. So these guys, man,

1886
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 8: we had so many talented coaches and players, and the

1887
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,680
Speaker 8: way they brought themselves. If you just if you were

1888
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 8: paying attention to here antennas were up, you were going

1889
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 8: to learn quite a bit.

1890
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,919
Speaker 1: At what point did you realize Drew Brees was special?

1891
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 1: Is there a particular moment that you can recall where

1892
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 1: you just went, yeah, okay, this is something here.

1893
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1894
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I remember we were playing ten State into

1895
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 8: the third quarter. We're in kind of the end zone

1896
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 8: coming out, We've got a march like ninety yards and

1897
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 8: he's in he's in the buddle, and you can feel

1898
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 8: the ground shaking below you because there you got this

1899
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 8: upper deck. It's a white out Penn State. You know,

1900
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 8: they get all their fans there and they do a

1901
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 8: great job of kind of creating a tense environment, and

1902
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 8: Drew was just collective in the huddle, he was really sound.

1903
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 8: He was like, Hey, we're going to march down. It's

1904
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 8: just kind of this like all assured presence that you

1905
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 8: typically wouldn't see when you're down and you're in that

1906
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 8: type of environment. But the guy just knew how to

1907
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 8: like keep it together and keep the team going and

1908
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,080
Speaker 8: wasn't afraid to call guys out in the huddle either.

1909
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 8: And so I think those moments early on when I

1910
01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 8: was a sophomore just kind of washing. It was kind

1911
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 8: of midway through the season as we were getting to

1912
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 8: run through our kind of month of August or October

1913
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 8: when we made kind of that run. It was great

1914
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 8: to see him do those things, and it really kind

1915
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 8: of stuck out to me that he was going to

1916
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:06,639
Speaker 8: be super special.

1917
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 1: Does he also stay in touch with guys?

1918
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, he does, man, he does. He's got a couple

1919
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 8: of guys that he's really to tight with that you know,

1920
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 8: he was in the dorms with when he first started.

1921
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 8: But he does a good job of kind of circling

1922
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 8: around and you know, a phone call, our attacks, you know,

1923
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,000
Speaker 8: he gets I mean a lot of people are asking

1924
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 8: him for stuff and he's got to kind of guard

1925
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 8: his time. But for the most part. I mean, he's

1926
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:30,240
Speaker 8: pretty accessible and I appreciate that.

1927
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:34,679
Speaker 1: Okay. Lastly, Seth Morales our guest purdueing USC coming up Saturday,

1928
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 1: will be honoring the two thousand rows bull team, of

1929
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 1: which Seth was a part of it. When you look

1930
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: at this year's version of Purdue, I don't know how

1931
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 1: much you still you know, keep in touch you mentioned

1932
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: it earlier, or follow what they are doing? What jumps

1933
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: out of you? What are you curious to see here?

1934
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: And what truly is probably their first big test with us,

1935
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:56,200
Speaker 1: which it sounds so weird to say USC in the

1936
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: Big ten, but nonetheless.

1937
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:58,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is wild.

1938
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think what I've seen early on is not

1939
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:05,920
Speaker 8: a lot of penalties, discipline. The locker room has been

1940
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:07,640
Speaker 8: won by coach odum Uh.

1941
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:08,639
Speaker 2: I think these.

1942
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 8: Guys are trying. You know, you guys got You've got

1943
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 8: guys like Devin makby Uh that are you know, talented

1944
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 8: and leading the charge. But you've got some guys that

1945
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:19,560
Speaker 8: are really trying to make a name for themselves.

1946
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 2: So I don't know, we'll see.

1947
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 8: I think their offenses look pretty good. You know, they've

1948
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 8: been able to put some points on the board. They

1949
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 8: responded pretty well last week as they got down in

1950
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:30,960
Speaker 8: a little bit of a hole. But you know, I

1951
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 8: think I think they'll they'll keep it interesting. USC is

1952
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 8: a little I don't know, I would say they're They're

1953
01:41:37,520 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 8: not always the most consistent team out there, right, yeah, yeah,

1954
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 8: very very talented, always have you know, four and five

1955
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 8: star players, and you know, have some pretty good coaches.

1956
01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 8: But I think, pretty well, we'll make it interesting. And

1957
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:54,000
Speaker 8: I love, you know, these big games.

1958
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 6: Early on.

1959
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 8: It was like when Tiller came in early on to

1960
01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 8: the to the Big ten and we took it.

1961
01:41:58,520 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 2: To Notre Dame.

1962
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 8: You know, it was kind of like that that keystone

1963
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 8: moment for him, that signature wind to really say hey,

1964
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,919
Speaker 8: we're here. And so I think they'll keep it interesting.

1965
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Speaker 8: We'll see how it turns out, but it's not going

1966
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 8: to be a blowout, and I think they'll show up

1967
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 8: and do their thing.

1968
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 1: You know, it's I will tell you this, Seth being

1969
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: somebody who grew up as a diehard Indiana fan. I mean,

1970
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: I grew up in Indianapolis. I was an IU guy.

1971
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: I went to IU and then when I got out

1972
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:26,600
Speaker 1: it would have been a little bit after you were

1973
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: playing there. But when I worked at Channel six in Indianapolis,

1974
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:35,240
Speaker 1: and I Purdue was kind of my beat, and I

1975
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 1: had to cover Purdue football, if I say, had to

1976
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,599
Speaker 1: for a couple of years there. And I just loved

1977
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: Joe Tiller. I mean, you know, I don't know what

1978
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: he was like in terms of an in day to

1979
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: day coach intensity level, but in terms of just his

1980
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:53,719
Speaker 1: candor with the media, his accessibility, and his personality. I

1981
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 1: just had such a huge amount of respect for both

1982
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: Gene Katie and Joe Tiller. It was a pleasure to

1983
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:00,760
Speaker 1: cover those guys.

1984
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think they embodied Purdue to its fullest.

1985
01:43:05,360 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 8: They're gritty, are working, old school guys, you know, do

1986
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 8: it the blue collar way. And you know, he was

1987
01:43:12,320 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 8: he was a guy that he wasn't going to be

1988
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 8: warm and fuzzy, but he was also going to be

1989
01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 8: really true to his word and you were going to

1990
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 8: respect him when he came in. And I feel some

1991
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 8: of that with with coach owed him, and so you know,

1992
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:25,560
Speaker 8: it's it's a good I think it's a good recipe

1993
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 8: for Purdue football getting getting that back into the state

1994
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 8: of affairs.

1995
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 1: Somebody just texted me, Seth, good lord, I watched that

1996
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: clip on YouTube just now. Seth was wide open and

1997
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:37,440
Speaker 1: he's lucky he didn't fall down. Looked like he stumbled.

1998
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I should have. I should have fell, you know,

1999
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 8: I was. I was just trying to catch the damn ball.

2000
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: Sure right, Yeah, it was up there.

2001
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,800
Speaker 8: For a while, and yeah, thankfully I had a you know,

2002
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 8: quarterback put it right in my lap.

2003
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 2: And you know, you're.

2004
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 8: Kind of gassed. At the end of the two minutes,

2005
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 8: you're just kind of dead. It's hard to, you know,

2006
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 8: make a play like that. So I was just trying

2007
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 8: to keep my feet and glad I didn't stumble and

2008
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:06,559
Speaker 8: made it work.

2009
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool though. Certainly enjoy it this weekend with

2010
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,759
Speaker 1: all the guys and just soaking in what will always

2011
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 1: be a great celebration in honoring that great team in

2012
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. Seth, enjoy it, man. I appreciate the

2013
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 1: time on short notice today.

2014
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you.

2015
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Seth Morales joining us from Purdue. Man, can

2016
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 1: you imagine and I remember Eddie talking to you know,

2017
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: I used to do a show with Reggie Wayne and

2018
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:32,760
Speaker 1: one time, and I can't remember what game it was.

2019
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:34,839
Speaker 1: I know what it was. It was when Reggie. Wayne

2020
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:37,960
Speaker 1: was in the towards the end of his career when

2021
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 1: Luck was a rookie and the fabulous game he had

2022
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 1: against the Packers, and then later in that season, because

2023
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 1: that was this, we did either two or three years

2024
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: of shows with Reggie. But later in that season there

2025
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: was a play where he was open and he caught

2026
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,719
Speaker 1: a pass and he got run down from behind. I think,

2027
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: or maybe, but he was say, man, that end zone

2028
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 1: just seemed to kept running away from me, keep running

2029
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 1: away from me. As I was trying to get it.

2030
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 1: That's when I realized I'm not as young anymore. And

2031
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 1: he said, but some of those plays I had against

2032
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:17,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay were easier than this one, because it is

2033
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,400
Speaker 1: difficult when you are that wide open and the ball.

2034
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine. I mean, Eddie, you played baseball, right, yeah,

2035
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: but you were a catcher, right, Did you ever play

2036
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: like in the outfield second MASI I've always marveled, like

2037
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:36,840
Speaker 1: with pop flies in Major League Baseball, how easy oftentimes

2038
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 1: those guys make it look. But I would think sometimes

2039
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 1: even that's more difficult than just a quick instinctive play,

2040
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I mean, I was

2041
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,720
Speaker 1: the heck of a play for sure. And he's right

2042
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 1: about USC. I mean, I think the branding and the

2043
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: marketing and just the prestige of USC. You feel like

2044
01:45:56,520 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 1: you know exactly who USC is because it's USC. But

2045
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were so down last year and they

2046
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 1: have talent. I mean USC. It goes without saying USC

2047
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: should have They should fall out of bed and have

2048
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:16,639
Speaker 1: three first round receivers on their roster. And you know

2049
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,799
Speaker 1: that's a team that's looking for a bounce back as well,

2050
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll see what happens with them now.

2051
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: Indiana taken on Indiana State Friday night. That game also,

2052
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:30,040
Speaker 1: to me, that's a fun one because I think we

2053
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 1: know that Indiana certainly should be able to get a

2054
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: win against Indiana State, but just a Friday night game

2055
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 1: at Memorial Stadium, and you know, this has not become

2056
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:45,439
Speaker 1: this has become kind of a tradition where they have

2057
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,600
Speaker 1: a Friday game each and every year. But the atmosphere

2058
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 1: alone is going to be pretty awesome. And I know

2059
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 1: there has been some resentments the wrong word, but conversation

2060
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 1: as to whether or not college football should play Friday

2061
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 1: night games, because I think even Tom Allen said like

2062
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: that belongs to high school kids and that that should

2063
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,760
Speaker 1: be where it is. Your thoughts, Eddie on whether or

2064
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:15,839
Speaker 1: not college Division one game should be scheduled on a Friday.

2065
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 3: I think it would just depend on the network television

2066
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,639
Speaker 3: side of things, like for example, this game on Friday

2067
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 3: is not on Peacock, it's not the or whatever any

2068
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:28,680
Speaker 3: case like that. So not a big fan of it,

2069
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 3: but I understand why they have to do it sometimes,

2070
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 3: so I'd rather not have it. But you know, football football, Jake,

2071
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 3: people are going to show up.

2072
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:38,360
Speaker 1: Do you ever get fomo? Then what they call it fomo?

2073
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,200
Speaker 1: The fear of out you ever experience when's the last

2074
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 1: time you had FOMO?

2075
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 3: I think Jake would be Also, I think it's a

2076
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 3: little different. I don't know how many students that go

2077
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 3: to IU are from Bloomington, Like what percentage would you

2078
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 3: put it?

2079
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 1: Oh, it's very, very very small.

2080
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 3: Okay, So if you have a small percentage of students

2081
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:02,719
Speaker 3: that are at Bloomington or from Bloomington High School either

2082
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:07,160
Speaker 3: or more than likely, still, I ustuns are gonna be

2083
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 3: at the football on right.

2084
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the aspect of the attention of the

2085
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 1: viewing audience of people that might normally go to the

2086
01:48:15,080 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: Caravel game or the Warren game, or you know, the

2087
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,759
Speaker 1: Broaderpool game, whatever, and now instead they're going and watching

2088
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 1: college football on a Friday. The attention level of it.

2089
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: But you know that the one thing, and I've said

2090
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 1: this before, the one area from when I worked in television,

2091
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: and I worked in television for I don't know how

2092
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: many years, and I love doing radio, and I would

2093
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: prefer doing radio than doing local television. The one area

2094
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: where I get fomo, the fear of missing out. It

2095
01:48:43,840 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 1: happened to me last Friday. Admittedly I was last Friday

2096
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 1: as I was getting ready to take off because I

2097
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:55,559
Speaker 1: flew out of town just in that like the first

2098
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:58,800
Speaker 1: time you feel that little, that little hint of a

2099
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:02,839
Speaker 1: chill in the air, and the sun set like around

2100
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:05,839
Speaker 1: seven point thirty just has kind of that crystal non humidity,

2101
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 1: non humidity like pristine looked to it. Yep, that time

2102
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: of year. The one time that I get FOMO is

2103
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 1: I really do miss going out on Friday nights and

2104
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: covering two high school football games because we would always

2105
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:21,919
Speaker 1: go to one game, get like the first half highlights,

2106
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 1: go to another game, get the second half highlights, rush

2107
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: back to the station put together a story for Friday

2108
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 1: Night Football, or in the case of thirteen, you know,

2109
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:35,160
Speaker 1: it was Operation Football, or you know the sports the

2110
01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 1: fifth quarter I think on Channel. I mean, everybody had

2111
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 1: their own version of it. But doing that and seeing

2112
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:45,760
Speaker 1: the excitement and the competitiveness of high school football, to me,

2113
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 1: that is the one thing that I miss from doing

2114
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,840
Speaker 1: local television. I always always enjoyed it. Colts and Broncos

2115
01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,439
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, Lucas Oil Stadium. Matt Taylor will be

2116
01:49:56,439 --> 01:50:00,920
Speaker 1: on the call and he joins us next. Colts are

2117
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: hoping it'll be a beautiful day coming up Sunday, late start,

2118
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium. When I say late, I mean not

2119
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 1: your typical one o'clock start, four o'clock hour. Colts and

2120
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:13,839
Speaker 1: Broncos joining us now on the always busy, especially today

2121
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:18,679
Speaker 1: and shockingly unsponsored guest line. Matt Taylor is the voice

2122
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts. Matt, how are you?

2123
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 7: I'm good, Jake? What's going on?

2124
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 4: Uh?

2125
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: Just set for this game?

2126
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 2: Right?

2127
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the weeks start to I don't

2128
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 1: know how it is for you, but with each week

2129
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL season and they start to just fly past,

2130
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 1: But I think Monday is usually kind of a recap

2131
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 1: day and figure out where you are from an injury standpoint.

2132
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 2: Day.

2133
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday you get confirmation on the injury, and then on

2134
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday I kind of start to shift towards now, let's

2135
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: see who's up next on the docket, And so that means,

2136
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, Thursday, Friday, you're talking a lot about the opponent.

2137
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,559
Speaker 1: So let's go to Denver. Actually, before we do that,

2138
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 1: let's go back to, like say, Monday Tuesday, from the

2139
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 1: injury standpoint, Is there anybody that has popped up that

2140
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 1: you think might be of question coming up this weekend

2141
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 1: that we did not anticipate being the case.

2142
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 7: No, I don't think so.

2143
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 9: I mean, if you want to go back to Monday

2144
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 9: and Tuesday, we find out about Tarvarius Ward and the

2145
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 9: concussion protocol Jalen Jones. It sounds like it's going to

2146
01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 9: miss some time, so you would think he's not going

2147
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 9: to be able to go on Sunday. So that means

2148
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:27,599
Speaker 9: the cornerback depth is being tested. It's been pushed pretty

2149
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 9: good right now. Early on in the season. You know,

2150
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 9: a guy like Makai Blackman, who was traded for at

2151
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 9: the end of the preseason's been here.

2152
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:36,639
Speaker 7: Roughly two plus weeks.

2153
01:51:37,040 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 9: It's like he's going to probably start or at least

2154
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:42,959
Speaker 9: at the very minimum, see a huge role within this defense.

2155
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 9: So you know that's a storyline, you know, going into

2156
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 9: this game when you've got guys like Courtland Sutton and

2157
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 9: Marvin memzer're trying to shut down Liot Lottu is the

2158
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:53,799
Speaker 9: name to keep an eye on on the injury report

2159
01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 9: today that'll come out probably in like the next hour

2160
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 9: and a half, two hours. You know, he popped up

2161
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 9: on the end report yesterday, So I mean that's a

2162
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:04,559
Speaker 9: big one. When you got you know, one of your

2163
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:07,000
Speaker 9: defensive ends that you're relying on to kind of break

2164
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 9: out this year and a sophomore efforts, you know, that's

2165
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 9: really really important.

2166
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:14,400
Speaker 7: So you know, those are the big ones. And you know,

2167
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:15,479
Speaker 7: knock on wood, the.

2168
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:18,560
Speaker 9: Colts are still experiencing as of right now, a pretty

2169
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 9: clean bill a health early on the season, which most

2170
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,920
Speaker 9: teams are to be fair. But you know, as you know,

2171
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:26,679
Speaker 9: as you were just alluded to there in the open,

2172
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 9: you know, it's a marathon and everything starts to kind

2173
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 9: of blend together, and you know the season is going

2174
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 9: to start to take its toll, and you're gonna see

2175
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 9: more and more important bodies on the injury report show

2176
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:38,799
Speaker 9: up for the Colts.

2177
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, Matt. One thing that I was thinking about,

2178
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 1: and I'm going to take the quarterback answer out of

2179
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: this because it's it goes without saying. I mean, we've

2180
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: talked about that competition, you know, since day one. But

2181
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: if you look at marquee players for the Colts, or

2182
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: really any starter for the Colts, which player for the

2183
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:02,720
Speaker 1: Colts would you say as the closest in terms of

2184
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 1: the backup the least amount of drop off when you

2185
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:08,000
Speaker 1: go from And I mean that as a respect to

2186
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,280
Speaker 1: the backup, not as a drop off from the starter.

2187
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 1: Do you get what I'm saying? So, which position are

2188
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:16,559
Speaker 1: they the safest? Where you say, yeah, I mean, look,

2189
01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:19,360
Speaker 1: you obviously want your starter, but let's not sleep on

2190
01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: this guy that's going to have to step in because

2191
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 1: they got a lot of they got a guy right

2192
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:25,599
Speaker 1: there where there's not a huge drop off. That answer

2193
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:26,960
Speaker 1: that position would be where.

2194
01:53:28,439 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 9: Great question, I think right now, just hearing you say that,

2195
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 9: I would probably say wide receiver, just because you know

2196
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 9: you've got five of them up on game day and

2197
01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 9: you know your your two rotational guys that aren't quote

2198
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,439
Speaker 9: unquote starters at least not you know, and when you

2199
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 9: go three wide receiver set, you know, to begin a game,

2200
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 9: guys like ad Mitchell and Ashton Doling, like, I don't

2201
01:53:54,439 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 9: think there is any drop off, very minimal when when

2202
01:54:00,280 --> 01:54:02,479
Speaker 9: let's say, if Pierce were to get banged up or

2203
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 9: Josh downs were to get banged up, or.

2204
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:05,360
Speaker 7: Michael Pittman Junior.

2205
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:08,360
Speaker 9: I mean Ady Mitchell I think is an emerging player.

2206
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 9: I mean Ashton Dulan just flat out delivers every time

2207
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:14,320
Speaker 9: he's his numbers call, whether it's on special teams or

2208
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 9: kick return or you know, a slot receiver, you know,

2209
01:54:19,080 --> 01:54:21,679
Speaker 9: running an end around like he did last week almost

2210
01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:25,799
Speaker 9: scoring a touchdown against the Dolphins. So that's my answer

2211
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:29,679
Speaker 9: is you've got two really good depth pieces. Don't forget

2212
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 9: about Anthony Gould too, So I guess I got to

2213
01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 9: correct myself. He had six wide receivers all up the

2214
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:37,120
Speaker 9: other day against the Dolphins. So I think that's probably

2215
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 9: your you know, outside a cornerback on defense, which I

2216
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 9: still think is pretty pretty good when everybody's healthy, but

2217
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 9: it's not as of right now. But when everybody's healthy,

2218
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,560
Speaker 9: at that wide receiver spot. The Colts have a lot

2219
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 9: of options. A lot of the guys that flat out

2220
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 9: aren't gonna play a lot, and they're really good football players,

2221
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:56,760
Speaker 9: kind of in the wings, you know, Matt.

2222
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:58,880
Speaker 1: So you've worked in that. I'm going to give you

2223
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:02,120
Speaker 1: an introduction to another aquariism, Okay, and I've had a

2224
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of success with these. So you've worked in this building, Matt.

2225
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:12,400
Speaker 1: You know Scott Johnston, right, love Scotty Okay, he's his producer,

2226
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's right. So yeah, and you work with

2227
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:18,400
Speaker 1: him on the cults radio side. So Scotty Johnston, for

2228
01:55:18,480 --> 01:55:21,879
Speaker 1: those that have not heard me say this before, Scotty

2229
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 1: Johnston is the guy that every single company needs. And

2230
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 1: I call it the copier guy. And the reason I

2231
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:30,120
Speaker 1: call it the copier guy is not because they're the

2232
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:35,080
Speaker 1: Rob Schneider character from SNL, but because everybody has that

2233
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 1: situation where you walk past the copier and somebody's standing

2234
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 1: there dumbfounded, and you're like, what's going on? I don't

2235
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 1: know this thing. It's not working. I just need to

2236
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: print them out. It's not working. And so then you

2237
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,080
Speaker 1: say to yourself, well, call Scotty, he'll know how to

2238
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 1: fix it because Scotty can do everything. He has the

2239
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 1: answer to everything. He knows where everybody's bring.

2240
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:51,600
Speaker 2: All.

2241
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,720
Speaker 1: That is Ashton Dueling, the Scotty Johnston copier guy of

2242
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 1: the Colts.

2243
01:55:57,200 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 7: Ashton Doan is.

2244
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 9: The guy that, like you're in a all the hurt

2245
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 9: if he's not if like if he shows up sick

2246
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 9: one day and it's like, oh crush, Like we don't

2247
01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:06,960
Speaker 9: even know all the things Ashton Doling.

2248
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:09,760
Speaker 1: That's exactly correct, right, he can do that can feel

2249
01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:11,280
Speaker 1: like seven roles, right.

2250
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:13,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, he just does them and nobody even knows that

2251
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:16,720
Speaker 9: he's doing him right, and you know it's it's essential business.

2252
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:20,200
Speaker 9: I mean that's exactly you know who Scott Johnson is.

2253
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:22,120
Speaker 9: And you know, I think we all like to think

2254
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 9: we have a little Scott Johnston in us. You know

2255
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 9: we're hard to replace. We got some institutional knowledge about us, right,

2256
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:31,880
Speaker 9: But I think that's that's absolutely Ashton Doling man jack

2257
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 9: of all trades. He's juggling a lot of balls. He's

2258
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 9: essential in a lot of different things. He has to

2259
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 9: go home at night every night and watch like three

2260
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 9: different versions of game tape because of all that he's

2261
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:45,200
Speaker 9: asked to do in his versatility. So I mean, he's

2262
01:56:45,240 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 9: one of my favorite Colts. I mean, think about it.

2263
01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 9: He's lasted with the Colts for seven years. He signed

2264
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:54,080
Speaker 9: multiple contract extensions in free agency. You know, went to

2265
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 9: Malone University. That's not even a real place anymore in

2266
01:56:57,360 --> 01:57:00,040
Speaker 9: terms of football. They don't play football there anymore. So

2267
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:05,120
Speaker 9: you know, the average lifespan of an NFL players three years. Uh,

2268
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:08,320
Speaker 9: and it's even less for undrafted guys. And he's just kept,

2269
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 9: you know, sticking around, made himself necessary, and he's just

2270
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 9: a great story and just an even better guy.

2271
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you would have to know this because

2272
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:21,000
Speaker 1: of your job, Matt. So if you know the answer

2273
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:22,880
Speaker 1: to this, I want you to confess up front. I

2274
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: know the answer, because then it's not as fun. Can

2275
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 1: you tell me the town or the athletic nickname of

2276
01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: Malone University.

2277
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 7: I can tell you the town, I can't tell you

2278
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 7: the nickname.

2279
01:57:33,320 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna guess the nickname. First off, give me

2280
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 1: the town.

2281
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 7: Well, I better be right.

2282
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:41,960
Speaker 9: I'm ninety percent sure it's in Canton, Ohio.

2283
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I think that is right. Actually, Okay, so I'm

2284
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna say, Eddie, I'll let you guess first, Malone is

2285
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 1: what what do you mean? Okay, thanks Matt, Matt. If Matt,

2286
01:57:56,560 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: how about yourself? Malone is? What what's your guess on

2287
01:57:59,040 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 1: the athletic nickname?

2288
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 3: I actually know this answer because their Division two school.

2289
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Mustangs. Matt, what's your guess?

2290
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 9: I'll just say I'll just stick with the generic wild cast.

2291
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Eddie, you ready for the answer. I am the pioneers.

2292
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 3: Oh really, m okay, the pioneers. Well, I guess he

2293
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 3: was a pioneer in terms of Malone players in the

2294
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 3: NFL because they shut down the program, right.

2295
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:23,160
Speaker 9: I think the only reason I knew that is because

2296
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 9: I think when he was first picked up by the Colts,

2297
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 9: I thought through osmosis, I heard that he used to

2298
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:31,400
Speaker 9: play his home games at the Hall of Fame Stadium.

2299
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 7: So that's how I was able.

2300
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:36,720
Speaker 1: To put that his quarterback, by the way, Charles Ingles Wilder. Interestingly, now,

2301
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 1: by the way, so Matt Taylor is our guest, Matt,

2302
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 1: this particular game. I'm curious of this when you look

2303
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 1: at what Daniel Jones was able to do in week one,

2304
01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 1: and he was obviously impressive, and I think Tyler Warren

2305
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:54,040
Speaker 1: is a big part of that. But I think Shane

2306
01:58:54,040 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 1: Steiken should get more credit for the way he called

2307
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 1: that game to facilitate the strengths of Daniel Jones and

2308
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 1: not illuminate any weaknesses there. I thought he called a

2309
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 1: very Daniel Jones centric game. Did Shane stichen? Would they

2310
01:59:09,320 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 1: have done things schematically different if Richardson was the quarterback?

2311
01:59:15,200 --> 01:59:17,520
Speaker 7: May like, you know, it's a great question.

2312
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 9: I mean, maybe outside of a couple of design runs

2313
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:24,520
Speaker 9: by the quarterback, don't I don't think so. I mean,

2314
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 9: you had all the different components in the offense with

2315
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 9: Jones last week that you saw when Richardson was kind

2316
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 9: of humming last year towards the end of the season

2317
01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 9: or the middle part of the season, when he after

2318
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 9: he came back from the two game benching. You know,

2319
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:44,960
Speaker 9: you had, you had the RPO game. You had pushing

2320
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:47,080
Speaker 9: the ball down the field. You know, you had the

2321
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,840
Speaker 9: deep shot to Pierce. You had kind of the pump

2322
01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 9: faking go and the great ball on the sideline to

2323
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:57,000
Speaker 9: Pittman on the touchdown. You had you know, sort of

2324
01:59:57,040 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 9: the audible at the line of scrimmage and motion out

2325
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:02,960
Speaker 9: Josh Gowns on a fourth and two, I mean this

2326
02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:05,680
Speaker 9: is you know, I think we talked about this maybe

2327
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:07,920
Speaker 9: last week or the week before. I mean, aesthetically, it's

2328
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:11,680
Speaker 9: it's pretty much the same offense for either quarterback, and

2329
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:13,600
Speaker 9: I think that was a big reason why, or one

2330
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:17,360
Speaker 9: of the biggest reasons why they targeted Daniel Jones, is

2331
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:19,240
Speaker 9: so that they can make it easier on the rest

2332
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 9: of the offense no matter who the quarterback is, because

2333
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:26,480
Speaker 9: aesthetically it's pretty much the same. The quarterbacks have similar

2334
02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:29,040
Speaker 9: skill sets because Daniel Jones, as we saw in the

2335
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 9: first game, really mobile, can get out of the pocket.

2336
02:00:32,600 --> 02:00:35,240
Speaker 9: So I think the only difference is is that you

2337
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:37,360
Speaker 9: just you're not going to see and maybe heck, well

2338
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:38,600
Speaker 9: we might even see it this week.

2339
02:00:38,640 --> 02:00:39,040
Speaker 7: We don't know.

2340
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 9: But you know, towards the end of last year, you

2341
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,959
Speaker 9: were seeing you know, four or five design runs by Richardson.

2342
02:00:45,000 --> 02:00:47,400
Speaker 9: Maybe not so much with Daniel Jones, but everything else

2343
02:00:47,720 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 9: in terms of the playbook, you know, was designed for

2344
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:56,400
Speaker 9: a mobile, athletic quarterback, and both those guys kind of

2345
02:00:56,440 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 9: fit that. Bill and I thought it was important for

2346
02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 9: the Colts to do that for the rest of the offense,

2347
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:02,960
Speaker 9: so they didn't have to, you know, do a drastic

2348
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 9: one to eighty like they've done in years past, going

2349
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:10,520
Speaker 9: from Richardson to Flacco or to Nick Foles or you know,

2350
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:15,120
Speaker 9: Matt Ryan or Sara Gardner Minshew. That's a drastically different

2351
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,360
Speaker 9: game plan, different style of offense, and that's a tough

2352
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:21,160
Speaker 9: swing for the rest of the skill players on offense

2353
02:01:21,200 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 9: to deal with. So I think that's a big reason

2354
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 9: why Daniel Jones is here, and you know, through one game,

2355
02:01:26,320 --> 02:01:30,080
Speaker 9: they really executed the big picture game plan pretty falllessly.

2356
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:33,600
Speaker 3: Matt last week, I was talking with Kevin Bone. I

2357
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:34,880
Speaker 3: was like, you know what I was thinking about this

2358
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:37,400
Speaker 3: going into week one, Like the three things that we

2359
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:40,000
Speaker 3: didn't really talk about during training camp. Number one, we

2360
02:01:40,160 --> 02:01:42,200
Speaker 3: just talked about him and asked to doing being back,

2361
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:44,760
Speaker 3: being healthy. Number two, Josh Downs was healthy going into

2362
02:01:44,760 --> 02:01:47,960
Speaker 3: week number one last week against Miami, and number three

2363
02:01:48,360 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 3: he got overshadowed by just what Ady Mitchell and Alec

2364
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:54,040
Speaker 3: Pearce were doing in training camp, and that's Michael Pittman Junior.

2365
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:57,280
Speaker 3: I felt like nobody was really talking about Michael Pittman

2366
02:01:57,360 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 3: Junior being healthy in the first week last against Miami,

2367
02:02:00,960 --> 02:02:03,520
Speaker 3: six catches on eight targets, eighty yards and a touchdown.

2368
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 3: Is you back to that twenty twenty three version that

2369
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 3: we saw from Michael Pittman Junior within this Colts offense.

2370
02:02:09,280 --> 02:02:12,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, any to your point, great, great observation.

2371
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 9: You know, I don't want to make any excuses for

2372
02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 9: Michael Pittman Junior.

2373
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 7: I know that he won't make any excuses either.

2374
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 9: But I mean last year he gutted through a ton

2375
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:24,680
Speaker 9: of pain. And it was early on the season too,

2376
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 9: I think it was like week three or four. You know,

2377
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:29,240
Speaker 9: that report flared up like he's going to go on IR,

2378
02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 9: he's done for the season, He's going to have to

2379
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:34,000
Speaker 9: have back surgery. I mean, not only did he not

2380
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:36,800
Speaker 9: have back surgery, he never went on IR, and I

2381
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 9: think the rest of the season from that point on

2382
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:42,640
Speaker 9: he only missed one game, but he had to go

2383
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 9: through a lot of different stuff just to get ready

2384
02:02:45,480 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 9: for Sundays. I mean, he didn't practice a whole lot

2385
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 9: during the season last year. You know, had to receive

2386
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:53,560
Speaker 9: a lot of treatment, went through a lot of rehab,

2387
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:56,560
Speaker 9: you know, just to get himself in a position to play.

2388
02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 9: And so you know, I think all of that kind

2389
02:02:59,520 --> 02:03:02,120
Speaker 9: of reflect did in his performance. Again, not making an

2390
02:03:02,160 --> 02:03:04,600
Speaker 9: excuse for him, but I mean he had sixty nine

2391
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:08,160
Speaker 9: catches last year, just a little bit over eight hundred yards.

2392
02:03:08,200 --> 02:03:14,200
Speaker 9: That's a you know, historically a down productive Michael Pittman junior.

2393
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 7: Type of a season.

2394
02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 9: And to see him go out there and ball and

2395
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,560
Speaker 9: get eighty yards receiving in a touchdown. To your point, Eddie,

2396
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 9: you know, last week was a great Michael Pittman junior game.

2397
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:29,040
Speaker 9: Stat line wise, he only did what he did on

2398
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:32,840
Speaker 9: Sunday last season one time, right, I mean, only one

2399
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:35,000
Speaker 9: time in twenty twenty four did he have at least

2400
02:03:35,040 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 9: eighty receiving yards in a touchdown. So to see him

2401
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:39,640
Speaker 9: do that right out of the gate, and he's back,

2402
02:03:39,680 --> 02:03:42,120
Speaker 9: he's healthy, he's not dealing with that back thing anymore.

2403
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 9: He's got that behind him. I mean he's gonna kind

2404
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:48,360
Speaker 9: of step in back into that you know, true highly

2405
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:51,840
Speaker 9: targeted go to receiver for the Colts, you know, their

2406
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:54,080
Speaker 9: number one guy to make a play in crunch time.

2407
02:03:54,840 --> 02:03:57,000
Speaker 9: It was really good to see Michael Pittman Junior kind

2408
02:03:57,040 --> 02:03:59,760
Speaker 9: of e merge back into that role and play healthy

2409
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 9: and then you have stability at the quarterback position around them.

2410
02:04:02,840 --> 02:04:05,720
Speaker 1: You know, Matt when you look at week one, Matt Taylor,

2411
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 1: our guest voice of the Colts Colts and Broncos coming

2412
02:04:08,240 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, When you look at week one, and

2413
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:12,240
Speaker 1: that was such a dominating I mean, it's been a

2414
02:04:12,280 --> 02:04:16,080
Speaker 1: while since we've seen the Colts have a game where

2415
02:04:16,080 --> 02:04:18,240
Speaker 1: they just from the very start, I mean, that game

2416
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 1: was never in question, and that's a kudos to the Colts.

2417
02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: That also may tell us a little bit about Miami.

2418
02:04:24,400 --> 02:04:27,600
Speaker 1: But was there any area at all coming away from

2419
02:04:27,640 --> 02:04:31,080
Speaker 1: that game? We've talked so much about the positives for Indianapolis,

2420
02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:34,600
Speaker 1: what about those areas that might have been a forecast

2421
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 1: of concern.

2422
02:04:36,720 --> 02:04:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2423
02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,160
Speaker 9: No, to your point, I mean, you got to you know,

2424
02:04:39,160 --> 02:04:41,520
Speaker 9: you got to get out the microscope to find the negatives.

2425
02:04:41,520 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 9: But I mean it was it was pretty close to

2426
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 9: perfect as you can play in the NFL by modern standards.

2427
02:04:48,520 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 9: You know, you win by twenty five points. That was

2428
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:52,360
Speaker 9: the largest margin of victory for the Colts in the

2429
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:56,200
Speaker 9: game since twenty twenty one. So it's been a long

2430
02:04:56,280 --> 02:04:58,160
Speaker 9: time since they just kicked the holy you know what

2431
02:04:58,240 --> 02:04:59,480
Speaker 9: out of somebody, and it.

2432
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:00,920
Speaker 7: Was really freshing to see.

2433
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 9: But you know, there was still some things you got

2434
02:05:03,440 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 9: to clean up right, there was some leakage on some

2435
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 9: kickoff returns. You know, I think of the first kickoff

2436
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 9: return of the game a thirty eight yarder, so some

2437
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:14,120
Speaker 9: good field positioned by the Dolphins in that case. And

2438
02:05:14,160 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 9: then the biggest one for me is just and I

2439
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:19,400
Speaker 9: don't want to sound like a broken record because we've

2440
02:05:19,400 --> 02:05:21,320
Speaker 9: been talking about this for the last three years and

2441
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 9: it's really hard to do. It's easier to say than

2442
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 9: it is to do because every team in the NFL is.

2443
02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 7: Dealing with it.

2444
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:30,960
Speaker 9: It's like bullpen in Major League Baseball. Everybody needs it,

2445
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:33,440
Speaker 9: but there's not a lot of it. And it's defensive

2446
02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:37,520
Speaker 9: tackle depth and the culture spoiled because they have two

2447
02:05:37,520 --> 02:05:40,320
Speaker 9: of the best ones in the NFL still going and

2448
02:05:40,400 --> 02:05:43,400
Speaker 9: Grover Stewart into Forrest Buckner. But the problem is the

2449
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:47,560
Speaker 9: reality is those guys can't play every down. They can't

2450
02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 9: go sixty sixty five plays throughout the course of a game.

2451
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:53,120
Speaker 9: They got to get their rest. You know, they get

2452
02:05:53,200 --> 02:05:55,320
Speaker 9: nicked up here and there. You know, you're putting in

2453
02:05:55,360 --> 02:05:58,120
Speaker 9: different packages to rush the passer and things like that,

2454
02:05:58,160 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 9: but you know, when those guys are out of a lot,

2455
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:05,160
Speaker 9: there's still a little bit of just noticeable difference and.

2456
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:06,440
Speaker 7: Being able to stop the run.

2457
02:06:06,480 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 9: They're a little bit vulnerable still in the middle.

2458
02:06:09,040 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 7: Of that defense against the run. And then I just

2459
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:13,040
Speaker 7: think big picture wise too.

2460
02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:16,080
Speaker 9: You look at what Miami did on offense last week,

2461
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 9: which wasn't a lot because they got down early on

2462
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:22,280
Speaker 9: the scoreboard, they had to throw the ball. They didn't

2463
02:06:22,400 --> 02:06:24,680
Speaker 9: run the ball all that much. You know, they ran

2464
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:26,920
Speaker 9: the ball for only seventy two yards for the game,

2465
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:30,320
Speaker 9: but if you look at their number of attempts, they

2466
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:33,200
Speaker 9: were still over six yards per attempt, So you know

2467
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,600
Speaker 9: that that's a little bit you know, eye eyebrow raising,

2468
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:38,960
Speaker 9: it's a little bit alarming, even if it was a

2469
02:06:38,960 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 9: blowout type of a game. They got to get that

2470
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 9: fixed because that'll come back to bite you when you

2471
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 9: are in a dog fight of a team when you

2472
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:47,240
Speaker 9: do have, you know, an offense it's got a good

2473
02:06:47,240 --> 02:06:49,520
Speaker 9: offensive line and a good running back they can kind

2474
02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:52,920
Speaker 9: of slash and find those vision, you know, one cut runs.

2475
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:55,600
Speaker 9: That's something they got to get cleaned up. But again,

2476
02:06:56,080 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 9: it's it's tough to find, you know, top end, backup,

2477
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:02,240
Speaker 9: defensive town depth because every team in the NFL searches

2478
02:07:02,320 --> 02:07:03,200
Speaker 9: for those guys.

2479
02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Matt, as we know, Scott Johnston wears a different sports

2480
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,240
Speaker 1: jersey of a different athlete three hundred and sixty five

2481
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:11,440
Speaker 1: days a year. He has never worn the same one twice.

2482
02:07:11,440 --> 02:07:13,360
Speaker 1: But if I see him wearing one of Ashton Doolan,

2483
02:07:13,440 --> 02:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna freak out because my worlds have collided.

2484
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Easy spy to say it.

2485
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. You can hear him

2486
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,520
