1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: You were listening to the Best of the Fan Morning 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Show on ninety three five and one oh seven five 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: The Fan. 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: Then I. 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: You were listening to the Fan Morning Show on Sports 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: Radio ninety three five and one oh seven five The Fan. 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: She said, Well, when I think of love, I think 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 3: of one hundred days out until the running of the 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 3: Indianapolis five hundred. Doug Boll's going to join us coming 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: up here at nine o'clock. I believe they are ten 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 3: percent ahead of ticket sales based off last year. I 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 3: think the best marked since the one hundred rounding in 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. So continuing arrow pointing up there when it 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: comes to five hundred. Uh And I was thinking about 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: on the drive in today a little bit back to 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago when we had the NBA 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 3: All Star Weekend here in Indy. Now, today's supposed to 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: be pretty nice out. I think. I think we're like 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: in a stretch here of like fifty degree weather, fifties 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: and sixties. Do you remember the Friday of NBA All 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: Star Weekend? We got like that ice. 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 4: Yet remember that rough Man That was a logistical nightmare 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 4: when it came to driving. 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: You guys got a favorite memory from that All Star Weekend, 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: I think for the most part all of us did 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: some sort of activity downtown. 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, I went to the whatever the NBA event was 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 5: at the Convention Center. Girls had a blast and we 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 5: did the show from there on that Friday. I remember 30 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 5: that shooting up shots at like the what was it 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 5: the the what is it? Starry storry, Yeah, story three 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 5: point yep showing a jumper. 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 4: It actually reminds me of WNB. All Star Weekend had 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: the same thing for the media, and I bricked every 35 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 4: single three in the event until the last one. And 36 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: I had later recorded me for work at sending some 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 4: kind of like social media video and I told her, Hey, 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 4: we're going to cut the camera a little short and 39 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 4: to show the make at the end and we'll all 40 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 4: agree on that. 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: And she got a kick out of that. But anyways, 42 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: just tethered together like six times. Look at this exactly 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: flush every time. 44 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 4: With this AI technology, you can. 45 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: Make you do a lot of change up, perfect beef 46 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: balance size, elbow fall there every time. 47 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: But I would say for myself, it probably had to 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: do with getting a chance to interview Shaquille O'Neal at 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: a T and T event and talking to Reggie Miller 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 4: at another event that those are pretty cool because those 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 4: are guys that are on television obviously competed in the 52 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 4: finals against each other, and then ultimately do I did 53 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: a big story on Tyre's Hallibirding, not Hallibirding, Halliburton, who 54 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 4: was at the time still kind of like a rising star, 55 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: and I believe Charles Barkley told me at the time, Hey, 56 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: I think this league is going to be his, and 57 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: I wrote the story and people were like, Oh, he's 58 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 4: being way too nice, He's just in the whole city whatever, whatever, 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 4: And then you look up a couple of years later 60 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 4: and they're in the finals, led by one of more 61 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 4: clutch runs you'll ever see. So that was fun. 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: Didn't you do the Wojes event at the Vogue? Wasn't 63 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 3: that something? 64 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 6: Yeah? 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: We did. So that was Adrian Worganowski hosting a live 66 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 3: podcast at the Vogue. We like introed it and it 67 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 3: was with Grant Hill and Tyrese Haliburton and at that point, wow, 68 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 3: that's something. Grant Hill was TMOSA director or whatever general manager. Yeah, 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: I forget its exact title, and then Tyrese of course 70 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 3: was trying to make TMOSA that. Yeah, that was really cool, Mark, 71 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: and I actually thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday night festivities at 72 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 3: Lucas Oil. First off, I thought it was pretty cool 73 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: that we did it over a Lucas Oil and you know, 74 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: put the court in the end zone there you were 75 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: able to get probably what double the amount of attendance 76 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: than you would if you had it over Gamebridge Field House, 77 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: And I was laughing thinking about on the drive in. 78 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 7: Uh. 79 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: The Pacers contingent won the opening event that night. It 80 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: was you know what, I forget what they call it, 81 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: the Skills Challenge or whatever. I was Benedict Mather and 82 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: Miles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton winning that, And I honestly 83 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: thought the coolest event of Saturday night was Sabrina and 84 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: Nescue against Steph Curry. 85 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: Oh, I take it back, that's probably the moment I 86 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: got to cover that. 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: And both Sabrina shot the lights out of Steph, didn't. 88 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: I mean Steph had to walk out there and have 89 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: a big time performing. 90 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: Getting chills thinking about it. That was theater, Kevin, And just. 91 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: Like the the rise in the crowd noise when Sabrina 92 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 3: hit I forget how many she hit in a row. 93 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: I feel like it was six seven, six seven something like. 94 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 5: That was on purpose, that was totally in a row. 95 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: What do you mean, shameless? 96 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 3: I thought that was pretty smooth. Would she hit that 97 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: many in a row? I mean the crowd that was 98 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: allowed to say we're all night, more so than the 99 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 3: dun contact man more so than I forget it won 100 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: the three point. Maybe it was Lillard or somebody like that, 101 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: but I thought that was really cool. Just and we 102 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: I don't think we've had that sense, have we? 103 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: We have not, And I think a lot of that. 104 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: Not to say it's her fault, but I think the 105 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: WNBA and the NBA wants Caitlyn to be the next 106 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: woman female challenger in that event. 107 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: I get that, But I enjoyed watching Sabrina and ask 108 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: you sh I know. 109 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 4: But I feel like, hey, if you want to invite 110 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: her about making a two v two, get Klay Thompson 111 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 4: and Steph Curry out there. The Splash Brothers didn't get 112 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: you know, Caitlyn and Sabrina out there as well. But 113 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: I would say this being there in the moment, Kevin, 114 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: there was that maybe like two minute period between when 115 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 4: Sabrina finished and Steph is getting ready to go where 116 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: you're thinking, is she gonna knock off the goat? And 117 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 4: then Steph reminds the world like, yeah, she's great, but 118 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 4: I am the greatest. And so that was awesome. And honestly, 119 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: that's probably the one event that I still tune in 120 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: for is a three point contest. 121 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: And again, if you look at the field in the 122 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: three point contest, I mean it still has a star 123 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 3: study group. You know, actually Damian Lillard will shoot this 124 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: year even though he's out for the season, being honestly 125 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: Towny Kiley's So yeah, that is definitely much more of 126 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 3: a headline group than the dunk Contest is a you're 127 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 3: gonna have to have Google close by you to realize 128 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: who was in it. Reminder again, Thad Mada eight thirty 129 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: Doug Bowls hundred days out from the Indianapolis five hundred. 130 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: He will join us. Hell, the temperature today probably looks 131 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: like what it was on race day last year. He 132 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: will join us, coming up at nine o'clock. Let's get 133 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: back into the story that I absolutely hate discussing. But 134 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: you can't live under a rock, and that's the Pacers 135 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: find last night by the NBA one hundred thousand dollars. 136 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: And again, this is for sitting Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nemhard 137 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 3: and Airnie Smith back last Tuesday, a game they lost. 138 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of a confusion on 139 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: when the penalty occurred. And again I say penalty in quotes. 140 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: This is for last Tuesday against the Jazz. Here, James, 141 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: I was unfamiliar that there are rules to resting guys. 142 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: You have alluded to some of them. I am curious, like, 143 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 3: what stands out to you about any of these rules, 144 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: because that's where I struggle. I'm like, you could find 145 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: any team. It'd be walking into the IU tailgate fields 146 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: and picking out there's one person for underage drinking. It's like, no, 147 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: you could pick out one hundred. So I'd argue all 148 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: thirty teams do some form of resting here throughout the 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: course of NBA season. So the last thing I want 150 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: is for you to read off a rule book. But 151 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: I guess I'm asking you to provide maybe a couple 152 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: of the and I say, interesting, a couple of things 153 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: that stood out to you in looking into this a 154 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: little bit more. 155 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, So I know a few people immediately were like, well, hey, 156 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 4: the Lakers were on television the other day and they 157 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: rested Luka, Doncic, Lebron James, and I believe Austin Reeves 158 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 4: in that game against the Spurs and Wimby. So they 159 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 4: were like, why aren't they getting fined for that they 160 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: missed all their stars? But I think personally the implication 161 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: is that they're a playoff team, So maybe they get 162 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: looked at through a different lens, and perhaps the NBA 163 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: looked at their injuries and said, hey, these are legitimate 164 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 4: or whatever the case may be. But I also want 165 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: to say that if they were going to get fined 166 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 4: based off of what we saw with the Pacers, it 167 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: might take a ball for that to have. And now 168 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 4: when it comes to Lebron James in particular, becase people 169 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: were like, hey, he's been resting back to backs, the 170 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 4: rule for him is different because of his age. So 171 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: the NBA has a clause in this back to backs 172 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 4: part of their rest rule where it says if you 173 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: are aged thirty five or older and opening nights, then 174 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 4: you are able to request back to backs from the 175 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: league that are pre approved. The same goes for if 176 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 4: you have played over thirty four thousand minutes in the 177 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: regular season in. 178 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 3: Playoffs, was like Mark's PTL. 179 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much. 180 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: I'm an old man. 181 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: Exactly the same thing as if you've played like over 182 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: a thousand NBA games, and a thousand is a lot. 183 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: Because I was looking at Siakam, I was like, man, 184 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: how close is he to a one thousand. He's only 185 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: at six hundred and eighty, so it will be quite 186 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: a while before he gets to that. 187 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 6: Now. 188 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: Obviously I didn't think I added up the playoff games, 189 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 4: but he's well below a thousand. So all that to say, 190 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 4: Pascal Siakam at thirty one can't rest as many back 191 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: to backs as Lebron James at forty one. Just to 192 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: explain that part of it, and then to answer your 193 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: other or kind of on your other part a little 194 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 4: bit clearer from earlier in the show, Kevin, I know 195 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 4: you mentioned, well, hey, at the end of the season 196 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: last year they did rest Pascal Siakam, how come they 197 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: didn't get fined them for you know, not tanking, but 198 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 4: for not participating with the player policy in the NBA 199 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 4: has another clause in here that is called literally in 200 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: the season flexibility, where teams who have clinched the playoff 201 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: spot is they're trying to get healthier, trying to get rest. 202 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: The NBA will not necessarily penalize them because they know 203 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: they're trying to get ready for the bigger stage, being 204 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 4: the postseason. So hopefully that explains a little bit of it. 205 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 4: There's other different clauses in here, and again I still 206 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 4: think even when reading this, there is more great area 207 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: than not. And the last thing I'll read is, so 208 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 4: how the NBA defines a star player and why Pascal 209 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 4: in particular got called out in this NBA find is 210 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 4: that the NBA defines an a star player as someone 211 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 4: who within the last three years has been named to 212 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: the All NBA Team or an All Star team, which 213 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 4: is the case for Pascal Siakam, which is why, Hey, 214 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 4: when the criticism comes, so the microsofte comes out, he's 215 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 4: the first one they look at. Oh my gosh, man, 216 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: hopefully I explained that in English for you all this did, 217 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 4: but gosh, it's so damn exhausting it is. Can I 218 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: read what the commissioner said? I don't think we put 219 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: that out there here on the show. Here's what and. 220 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: You're talking about last night saying last night because again, 221 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 3: just remind everybody. The Jazz got fined five hundred thousand 222 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: dollars for a different thing than the Pacers got fined 223 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars for right. 224 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: The Pacers got fined for a player participation policy violations. 225 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 4: And then with the Jazz it was quoted as contruct 226 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 4: conduct detrimental to the league, where they pointed out, hey, 227 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: you had your starters in there, your star players, and 228 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: then you thanked them in the fourth quarter a couple 229 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: times in some games. So here's what Adam Silver said 230 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: in regard to the Jazz and the Pacers over behavior 231 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 4: like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the 232 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 4: foundation of NBA competition, and we will respond and accordingly 233 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 4: to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games. Additionally, 234 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: we are working with our Competition Committee and Board of 235 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: Governors to implement further measures to root out this type 236 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 4: of conduct. So, aka, you all got popped for tanking. 237 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: So if the Pacers got in trouble last Tuesday against 238 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: the Jazz, then what would you call Wednesday night with 239 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 3: the nuts? I would say they do the same thing again. 240 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: I would call it TBD. 241 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 4: We got to get the independent, independent physician to come 242 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 4: in and test the guys and see if it happens again, 243 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 4: which is again, it's such a stupid song and dance, 244 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 4: because you're penalizing teams for incentivizing or working with how 245 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: the league rules help them build a better team. And 246 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: I don't want to dismiss this. It's two small market teams. 247 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: Like if you're going to penalized teams for trying to tank, 248 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 4: which I don't love tanking, but understand it, for trying 249 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 4: to land a star. Realistically, how else are the pacers 250 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 4: in the Jazz going to get a star if you 251 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 4: don't trade for it or if you don't draft one. 252 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: These are not free agency destinations. I'm not going to 253 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: be like Petty. You know, I love Indianapolis, but I'm 254 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 4: not gonna pretend Indianapolis is New York or LA or 255 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: somewhere else. So that to me is a bigger conversation. 256 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 4: It's like, well, do you want you smare market teams 257 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: to succeed? 258 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 3: I guess where I'm confused is just again, who are 259 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 3: you actually punishing and who are you not? Like, why 260 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 3: aren't the Wizards being punished? 261 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 4: I agree, you know, like that Anthony Davis out for 262 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: the rest of the season. 263 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 3: Kings, you could play to that as well. I mean, 264 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: I agree that there's a part of seeing the Jaron 265 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: Jackson Junior news yesterday. Now he needs knee surgery. Are 266 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: you telling me this didn't flare up during the trade 267 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: and he passed the physical? Like like, all of this 268 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: is just confusing to me, Like there is not black 269 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: and white elements to whatever. You showed up late, for example, 270 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: and we can look at the time on the clock 271 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: see that you were late. Therefore, if you are punished, 272 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 3: like to me, that that's what I think. I mean, 273 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: you read off those rules, and I mean, I guess 274 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 3: I just don't hear a lot of black and white. 275 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: And that's what I really struggle with. And again, let's 276 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: go through the Pacers' schedule. I can pick out so 277 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: many times this season where a team has openly rested 278 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: players against Indiana. Right, So, where is the line drawn 279 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: in the sand? We are punishing Pascal Siakam, a man 280 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: that has played fifty one to fifty five games this season, 281 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 3: a guy that is what thirty one years old? Yes, 282 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 3: a guy that's playing the most minute he's played in 283 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: a PACER's uniform in any of us three seasons, and 284 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: he's and the rest of him second hand of back 285 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 3: to back. It's not like they're resting him in the 286 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: middle of the week on a Wednesday when they've had 287 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 3: two days off. Now, like you said, an entire West 288 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 3: coast trip. No, so this is where and I would 289 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: say that about Andy, like, I don't think I'm just being, 290 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 3: you know, prisoner of the of the NBA team that 291 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 3: is in the market. Here. There was a thought I 292 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 3: had yesterday before all this came out, and let's try 293 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: to separate ourselves from I guess the news item from 294 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: last night before that fine came out. What did you 295 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: want to see from the Pacers in the final twenty 296 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: five games? What did you want to see them do? 297 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: And let me throw out some ideas. One, they would 298 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 3: continue to sit dudes on the second night of these 299 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: back to backs. That's pretty much what they've done so far. 300 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: That's the infractions. Yeah, they have committed. They've done that, 301 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: I think three different times of soft tank. So they 302 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: could do that. They could sit them outright outright right, 303 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: like start sitting dudes next Thursday when you play the Wizards, 304 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: because you're right next to them in the sandars. You 305 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: could do what the Jazz have done. Play your guys 306 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: but then take them out of the game in the 307 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, or you just straight up play them. You 308 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: act like wins matter to you. You act like there's 309 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: no parameters under draft picks. So of those four, play them, 310 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: sit them in the fourth quarter, sit them on second 311 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: nights of the back to back, or flat out really 312 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: sit them, don't play them at all, put the find 313 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: to the side. 314 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: What would you hope to see them? Do the Pacers correct, 315 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 4: I will probably roll with just sit them in the 316 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: fourth So do what the Jazz are doing. Play that, 317 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: I would say, do what the Jazz are doing. Like 318 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 4: the fans get to see the players, Pascal Siakam who 319 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: has played pretty much in every game, and others they 320 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 4: want to see Andrew Nemhart, aaron Ne Smith. But you 321 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: still understand for the bigger picture of the team is 322 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 4: better if we lose. 323 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: So you got a thought on that, sit them out right, 324 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: play them, sit them in the fourth quarter, or do 325 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: the second night of a back to back, which I 326 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: think they have a couple of those. I feel like 327 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 3: now you have to consult with the league, Like, hey, 328 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: aga again, we'll don't do here, correct, don't act like 329 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: because what James is saying is what the Jazz have done. Yeah, 330 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: I would do the fourth quarter thing. 331 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: I think that's like the more the most palatable, reasonable 332 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 4: way to do it. That probably appeases all parties to it. 333 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: Because it checks the entertainment element of life, so you 334 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: are actually putting them in front of the fans. Yeah. 335 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 4: Like I know, Mark has been hammering this point all week, 336 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: and I think it's been a great point about Hey, 337 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 4: I bought these tickets me and my family. I would 338 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 4: like to see Jaron Jackson Junior play. I would like 339 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 4: to see Lawry market and play. I would like to 340 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: see for the Patier's purposes, Pascal or others play, even 341 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 4: if they don't play in the fourth quarter. Like as 342 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 4: a fan, I could still understand that. But at least 343 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 4: I got some of my money's worth for trying to 344 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: support my team. And then also Kevin I want to do. 345 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 4: Want to clear this up with Jared Jackson Junior. He 346 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 4: did get ruled out for the rest of the season. 347 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: He's going to have that surgery for a tumor that 348 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: was discovered during his physical for the Jazz. I believe 349 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 4: he played a couple of games for the Jazz and 350 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: they had some discomfort in his knee. So people were like, well, 351 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: how come they didn't discover that before. This is my 352 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: best guess is that they he made it through the 353 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 4: physical They probably saw something, got further testing, he was 354 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 4: able to play, and then they came back and said, hey, 355 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: this is a little more serious than we thought. And 356 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 4: so I can't stily sit up here and say, hey, 357 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 4: he's the same as you know. They're Jazz sitting players 358 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 4: like Laurry Marketing, Jared Jackson, do your needs surgery for 359 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 4: a tumor? And any of us in this room if 360 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 4: we get told that even if it's it's non cancerous 361 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: for him, which is a very good thing, but still 362 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 4: you would all of us would be like, we'll get 363 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 4: it out of me as soon as possible. So a 364 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 4: little bit of a unique situation there. 365 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: I was listening to Zach Low, longtime cover of the NBA, 366 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: and he's always been at the forefront of like coming 367 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 3: up with these ideas to try and whatever cure topic 368 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 3: that clearly has really taken the NBA by storm here 369 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: over the last couple of weeks, a couple of ideas 370 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 3: through out there. He mentioned that when you get to 371 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: March one, those wins then flip you. If you start 372 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: winning games after March, they then count positively towards the 373 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 3: tank standings. I thought that was an interesting thought, and 374 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: then he also brought up is there an x number 375 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: of wins you must get to in order to keep 376 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: your draft pick? Which is pretty juicy, Like how many 377 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 3: games are the Kings won this year? Mark? It's like twelve, 378 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 3: I think, I mean, it's it's barely any game. They 379 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: are clearly the worst team in the league. I guess 380 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: where they're twelve. So let's call fourteen game losing streak. 381 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: By the way, let's call it twenty twenty five. You 382 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: must get to a certain amount of wins, and maybe 383 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 3: if you don't take their pick away, maybe you then 384 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: put them at the back of the lottery. Is that 385 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: something that the league could look into at all? And 386 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: I know there are a ton of these, you know ideas. 387 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: We had a listener, Scott. Maybe we'll get a chance 388 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: to you know, hear him out early next week. I 389 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: don't know if Off time to get to it today, 390 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 3: but he was thrown out standing. You know, a lottery 391 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: idea where you know, basically you don't reward the four 392 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: worst teams or the four best teams and you kind 393 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: of go with the middle. I was hearing them out 394 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 3: and it kind of made sense, But I just I 395 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 3: don't I haven't heard of any idea that I'm just like, 396 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 3: that's a great idea. 397 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the one that I heard Kevin and 398 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: Mark will probably be just flatt in the odds for 399 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: the entire lottery where you all get the same amount. 400 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: Do you worry about the seven and eight seeds then 401 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 3: trying to tank their way out of the playoffs? I mean, 402 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,479 Speaker 3: is that better than having I trust me you can 403 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 3: put in anything. I know. 404 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: I don't know that that's my best one I've heard 405 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 4: so far. 406 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be very clear. You can put holes in anything. Yeah, 407 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 3: Like I'm sorry that I'm the one doing it here. 408 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, I'm fine with you questioning it. And 409 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 4: this is again why I want to hear from Adam Silver, 410 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 4: because we're here on the radio show. Yes, we get 411 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 4: paid to talk about these things, We're not paid to 412 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 4: come up with solutions. He is, so, how do you 413 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 4: fix this? Because it's a stand on your league at 414 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 4: this point. 415 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: You just get rid of the lottery out right, Like yes, 416 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: I mean people have said that, People have said get 417 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: rid of the draft. 418 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 4: I'm like, that would never have the owners would never 419 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 4: agree to that. 420 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 3: Ever. I mean there are some why you know, there 421 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 3: are some wild ideas, and I try to listen with 422 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: like open ears to all of them because again, I 423 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: got nothing for you in terms of a good idea. 424 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I have heard of that, Mark I. 425 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 5: But like the NFL doesn't have this issue, like it's 426 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 5: always just like because they're because there's a chance you 427 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 5: don't have to have the worst record, but you could 428 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 5: still get the top pick. I feel like that's where 429 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 5: this is coming from, where you're not if it's just 430 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 5: the worst record, then you know, the Kings are I 431 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 5: don't think you're seeing these other teams do what like 432 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 5: the Kings are doing and everything like that. We're like, okay, 433 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 5: like we're not going to get the top pick. That's okay, 434 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 5: We'll get in there somewhere. But because there's the possibility 435 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: that they could get the top pick a sudden like hmm, 436 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 5: we kind of like, well maneuver, we don't have to 437 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: do this. Same with MLB MLB doesn't have this problem. 438 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: Well, I think the draft is more of a crapshoot 439 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball. I think the NFL first off, Yes, 440 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: one player can greatly greatly help you, but I don't 441 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: think it's like the NBA. And also the season is 442 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 3: just shorter. I mean, how many NFL teams are eliminated 443 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: from the playoffs before December? Truly eliminated? 444 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 6: Two? 445 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 8: Yeah? 446 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: Not these days? Yeah, I mean like with seven playoff 447 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: spots in each conference, it's really you gotta be freaking 448 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 3: awful in the first three months of the year to 449 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: be eliminated from the playoffs. The Pacers not Pacers. 450 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 4: The Colts lost their last seven games and even on 451 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 4: the sixth game losing streak until they were eliminated that 452 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: Saturday before they played the Texans and the season finale, 453 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 4: they had a chance to get the playoffs. 454 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: Still, still you got them draft on a quarterback. Did 455 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 3: I see that in your mock draft? 456 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: I listened to you every now and then, Kevin. 457 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: Your quarterback that at one point was pretty high up 458 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: there on Tono's draft. Yeah. 459 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 4: I gotta go check the comments to see if people 460 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: told me how wrong? 461 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: All right, I am a quarterback. That made me very happy. 462 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: Not for the reasons you would think at. 463 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 4: One point we'll get into it. 464 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 3: I pray and hope we will get to that at 465 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 3: some point. Here great great Shaw eight on the other side, 466 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 3: Bad Mada eight thirty, Doug Bulls at nine, Harris falling 467 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 3: out talking about NBA tanking.

Did you ever call any of Herong 472 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: Godey's games? I did not. 473 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: I just kind of missed him in like the Indiana 474 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: All Star window. I think literally he was in the 475 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 2: All Star team when I had like a brief break 476 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: from calling those games. 477 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: Gosh, I love him so much. I mean, somehow it 478 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 3: popped up on my timeline yesterday highlights of him, and 479 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: I was is he Odin's Great? Or is he Dominique 480 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 3: James Josh McRoberts great. 481 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 6: I'm trying to think he is. 482 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: I think he is the five group I believe, which 483 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 2: wuld be the Luke Zeller Group. 484 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 8: As well. Gosh, I love. 485 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: Him so much. Hearen Godi how in the State boy 486 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: Antie Colson. It's my two favorite note name basketball players 487 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 3: of all time. Okay, Rake, before we get into other 488 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 3: more pertinent things, and not Kevin Owens Notre Dame basketball fandom. 489 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: What do you think about the news of last night 490 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: the Pacers getting fined one hundred thousand dollars, all this 491 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: tanking drama. I'm exhausted by it. Do you have any 492 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: thoughts and opinions? 493 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: Obviously the Jazz got dinged worse. I want to see 494 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: what the fines are for other teams because I think 495 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: it's hard to argue that the Pacers are taking it 496 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: easy on the nights of back to backs try to 497 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 2: limit their wins. Even though it didn't work, it hits 498 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 2: the Nets on Wednesday night. But again, they're not the 499 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 2: only ones. I want to see if there's other finds 500 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: levied other than just the Pacers and the Jazz. 501 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 4: Rag Do you think there is a good solution to this. 502 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 4: I know people criticize the NBA versus the NFL. They're like, well, 503 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: NFL teams don't do this well. There's a much shorter season, 504 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 4: and also there's not fully guaranteed contracts to the degree 505 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: there are in the NBA. I mean quite frankly, players 506 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 4: in the NFL have to play otherwise they'll probably get 507 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 4: cut or something of that nature. So do you have 508 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 4: any theory, ease, any you know, sort of darts we 509 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 4: could throw at the board here. 510 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: It happened in the NFL too. Max Crosby didn't play 511 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks of the year. I mean, 512 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: believe me, it happened in the National Football League as well. 513 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: The answer is, I'm not sure. Now are fans in 514 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: Indianapolis complaining because their team isn't. 515 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 6: Winning as much? 516 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: No are, And and the thing is is that a 517 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 2: couple of the teams that are in this race at 518 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: the bottom made significant moves to help themselves going forward. Yes, 519 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: you know, the Jazz made a massive trade. The Wizards 520 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: have made two of them to at least give their 521 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: fans hope for the first time and lord knows how long. 522 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure there's a great answer to this. 523 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: And I almost think that by the NBA talking about 524 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: this it makes it worse than it already is. I 525 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: think this is one where it's Hey, you could easily 526 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: pivot slash, sweep this under the rug and just talk 527 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: about the good teams. By by almost doing this, I 528 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: think the NBA unintentionally makes it worse. 529 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 4: So now you got me going on a rabbit hole 530 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 4: because I believe Dran Jackson Junior played high school basketball 531 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 4: here in the Indianapolis area Park Tutor. I'm trying to 532 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 4: school correct. 533 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: He played. He played through his junior year, then spent 534 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: his senior year at La Lumera. 535 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 4: What do you remember about him as a high school player? 536 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: Being long man, I mean just being being so tall. 537 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: He was kind of the the group that was there 538 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: with blew It. I think maybe sophomore senior that was 539 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: the crossover, and then there the next year, so he 540 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: was kind of the next wave of talent after Yogi Ferrell. 541 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: Then it was Trayvon Balloo, and that it was Jaron 542 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: Jackson junior. He played with about six eight six' nine 543 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: when he was At Park, tutor so you could see 544 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: the skills. There they were still developing because it takes 545 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: all bigs a little while longer to kind of round 546 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 2: in the, form but you knew there was something. 547 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 3: There, well If i'm blue at the tensh leading scorer 548 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 3: all time in the state Of.

THERE i saw he cut his list down 565 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: to four. TEAMS i Believe, Bama, Miami, indiana The Ohio 566 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 3: state maybe correct the FOURTH i Think rivals has him 567 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 3: ranked eighth overall in the entire nation for that junior. Class, 568 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: rake can you recall the last time the state Of 569 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: indiana had a top ten football. 570 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 2: Recruit i'm trying to think of What curry was, ranked 571 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 2: because obviously he's one of the guys that's now going 572 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: to the you, know draft. Combine BECAUSE i thought he 573 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: was that level of, player AND i put him in 574 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 2: the top three or four players That i've seen in 575 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: the last twenty to twenty five years THAT i have 576 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: been doing. This i'm sure it's. Happened But sales is 577 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: up there with with any and again it's it's his 578 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: combination of height at six four sixty five and his. 579 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 2: TALENT i, mean he is a state track and field 580 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: level finals. Sprinter and so the next TIME i actually 581 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: see him would be at The Hoosier State, relays the 582 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: indoor meet that is opposite the boys basketball state finals 583 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 2: On march, twenty And sales is going to go as 584 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: a wide. Receiver ellen actually played him both ways last, 585 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: year watching that kid play safety and his speed to 586 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: break on the. Ball because of his wide receiver, background 587 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: he kind of knows where the route is. Going i'm 588 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: still not sure that that might not be his best 589 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: position potentially in The National Football league because he can 590 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 2: break on a ball like nobody else's. Business so he 591 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 2: is he has been given a lot of gifts and 592 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 2: he can take advantage of him. 593 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 3: TOO i think we might be going back To Jalen. 594 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: Smith rake would be in that, GROUP i would. 595 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 6: Think so that would agree with. 596 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 3: That, Yeah that's WHAT i was thinking. About So. 597 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: Rake another THING i wanted to get, into AND i 598 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 4: actually had to go through my first mock draft for 599 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 4: The colts yesterday got released this. Morning when you look 600 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 4: at team needs for this franchise with that second round, 601 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: pick where are you? Leaning is it the defensive? Line 602 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 4: is it? Linebacker are you does he look? Receiver If 603 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 4: Michael Wiman. Junr isn't, retain what do you kind of 604 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 4: consider the biggest need for this. 605 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 8: Team this is. 606 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: Going to sound really, lame But i'll explain. WHY i 607 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: think you're really at best player available and more leaning 608 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: towards the. Defense and, YES i Think Michael Pittman junior 609 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 2: is let go by the. TEAM i Think Alec pierce 610 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: is kept by the. Team, yes you're probably a receiver, 611 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 2: down but let's face, it you kind of have an 612 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: idea what you're going to be, offensively with the assumption 613 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: you bring Back Daniel jones and he's, healthy with the 614 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: assumption you bring Back Alec, pierce because of what you 615 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: got In Tyler, warren because of what you got In Jonathan, 616 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: taylor because you've got downs that's under. Contract you know 617 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 2: your stars to be on the offensive. Line it's over simplifying, 618 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 2: it BUT i almost think you can go all, right 619 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: you need help in all three areas of the defensive. Line, 620 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: yes you need pass rush. Help, yeah you need depth 621 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,239 Speaker 2: of defensive. Tackle clearly you need to get younger at 622 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: the linebacker. Position you're not exactly sure what your corner 623 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 2: back need is going to, be but you can kind 624 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: of see we're gonna have. Needs and now he's even 625 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: getting the Nick cross whether you bring him back or 626 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: not in terms of the safety. Position SO i would 627 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 2: probably lean a little bit towards, linebacker maybe because the 628 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: guys you've drafted haven't hit along the pass. 629 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 6: Rush i'm a. 630 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: Little worried about drafting that first in the second, round 631 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: BUT i really think you can, go all, right who's 632 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: the best available player on the board with a defensive 633 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: lean and go that. Direction if You're chris ballad in. 634 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: Company you know that voice quite. Well it Is Greg Greg. 635 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: Straw he's with this yo on The Payless slickers hot. 636 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: Line last one for.

Football those schools 651 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: are used to playing an independent. Schedule and and there 652 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: are SOME i know From Ron collie, standpoint there are 653 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: some scheduling agreements with like McCutchen And harrison that they seemingly. 654 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: Play perhaps it Steers Ron colly In cathedral back towards 655 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: each other in football because they had touched about that 656 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: and then kind of started to go in opposite. Directions 657 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: But cathedral is hard up for opponents now because of 658 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 2: the standpoint of Of dan started PLAYING McK. Teams now 659 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 2: THE mc teams are back to being an eighteen, league 660 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: and so they can't Play cathedral after week number.

AMAZING i made SURE i was 1014 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 4: out on the deck for. That but throughout the years 1015 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 4: with this type of, event how have you all maybe 1016 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 4: challenge yourselves to keep the tradition of why people love 1017 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 4: the event so much and fell in love with it 1018 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 4: and it's become so iconic versus trying to be innovative 1019 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 4: as well to keep maybe or gain some of the 1020 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,919 Speaker 4: those newer, fans although some of that might be built 1021 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 4: in with tradition as. 1022 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 6: Well you, know it's it's you touch on a really 1023 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 6: important part of what we, do and it's a little 1024 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 6: bit of a balancing. Act and really it starts, with you, 1025 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 6: know what's so important to THE dna of The indianapolis 1026 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 6: five hundred that you can't change. It you, know what 1027 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 6: are the it's five hundred, miles it's thirty three, cars 1028 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 6: it's the yard of bricks as a bottle of. Milk you, 1029 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 6: know those are the things and the foundation that are 1030 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 6: so central to OUR dna that if you were to 1031 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 6: walk away from, them you'd essentially be going from classic 1032 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 6: coke to new. Coke and we all know how that. 1033 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 6: Works so we got to be careful. That but you're 1034 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 6: right if we if we embrace too much of the 1035 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 6: and don't change, anything we will not gain new. Fans 1036 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 6: so it's really important that you start to. Balance the 1037 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 6: other thing that we've, done you, know over the last 1038 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 6: several years THAT i think is really important is we 1039 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 6: have to go out and solicit new. Fans we have 1040 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 6: to go out and, say, hey.

There so one of 1047 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,479 Speaker 6: the big efforts we take is we try every year 1048 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 6: to bring ten thousand new people to The Indianapolis Motor 1049 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 6: speedway that might not necessarily fit in what you would 1050 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 6: think of as an IndyCar. Demographic and that's one of 1051 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,800 Speaker 6: the Things i've been most excited. About when you start 1052 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 6: to see our fan base begin to look like our, 1053 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 6: community that's when you know you're making a.
